When Ding Rong came back from grabbing the medicine, and walked to Cao Xueqin's room with the medicine decoction, Miss Biao stepped forward and said to Ding Rong with a smile, "Is this the medicine for Brother Zhan?" Rong'er, you've worked so hard for so many trips, let me give this medicine to him. ”

Ding Rong is a clever person, he shrunk his hand as soon as his eyes rolled, and said with a smile on his face, "Miss Cousin's daughter, how can you do such a rough job, let's let us slaves come." ”

Miss Zhan was not annoyed, she took a step closer to Ding Rong and put her hand on the edge of the medicine bowl, "Brother Zhan has been so seriously injured, and Mr. Zhan Ting is kind to my grandfather, my marriage with Brother Zhan was decided by beating Xiao'er, Rong'er, whatever you say, I should take care of him once." ”

"What did Miss Watch say? When the old lady was there, fortunately thanks to the mercy of the first emperor, our Cao family was in Jiangning weaving, and he could also manage salt and iron. At that time, Miss Biao's grandfather, Master Mei, was born in a lift, and he was down-and-out in Beijing, and met our old lady to appreciate it, so you had this marriage with Brother Zhan," Ding Rong said with a smile on his face, and suddenly the words changed, and his words were not polite, "It's a pity - today our Cao family is a sinner in the Inner Palace, but the Cousin is already a scholar in the Xibin of the University Mansion." Time is also fate, Miss Cousin and Mrs. Cousin are just afraid that they can't look down on coated slaves like us, right? ”

Miss Mei didn't expect Ding Rong to dare to talk to her like this, her face turned blue with anger at the moment, and Miss lost her temper, she stopped talking to Ding Rong and drank lightly, "Give it to me!" Then he reached for the medicine bowl. Although Ding Rong is just a subordinate, when the Cao family was in Jinling, he was used to seeing all the ladies of the golden branches and jade leaves, and he had never seen such a hard robbery, so Ding Rong naturally clenched the medicine bowl and did not let it go.

The two of them fought with each other, and the medicine bowl was a small one, and a few of them went back and forth, and they spilled a lot of medicine, splashing and wetting their clothes. Miss Na Mei felt sorry for her sleeves, and she let go of her hand when the decoction spilled out, Ding Rong didn't expect it, and couldn't stop smashing the medicine bowl on the ground with a bang.

"I've been cooking medicine for half an hour!!" Ding Rong looked at the torn porcelain bowl on the ground distressedly, raised his head and yelled at Miss Mei angrily, "You! You! It must have been on purpose! ”

"Bah-" Miss Mei rolled her eyes, covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief in disgust, and took a few steps back, "You little guy spews blood!" You obviously knocked it over yourself, but now it's up to me, and I haven't cured you of the sin of soiling my clothes! ”

"You ——!"

"What's wrong?" The noise in the courtyard was so loud that Mrs. Cao was alarmed, she wiped her tears and walked out of the house, and at a glance saw the broken bowl on the ground, "How can this medicine be spilled......

"Auntie! I'm worried that Brother Zhan wants to go in and take a look, and I'm afraid of disturbing you, so I'm waiting at this door......" Mrs. Cao's words were not finished, and Miss Mei grabbed the white, "Who knows, who knows that this bad thing doesn't look at the road, and I bumped into it in a panic, not to mention knocking over Brother Zhan'er's medicine, and burned my hands!" Aunt! You're going to call the shots for me! We must punish this careless bad thing! ”

"Sister, my daughter's clothes are new," Mrs. Mei also came up to help, "Sister, you just said that you won't make my daughter angry, why do you dare to abuse my baby daughter like this now?" ”

Mrs. Cao glanced at Ding Rong, then at her sister and niece, frowned and sighed, and was about to send Ding Rong down, so that things could be calmed-

"Madame, wait a minute, listen to me."

Du Zhe quietly observed in the courtyard for a while, and listened to their words, and guessed the identity of the woman in the courtyard and this young lady: back then, Cao Xueqin's grandfather Cao Yin was in Jiangning weaving, and returned to Beijing to report on his work in a certain year, and happened to meet Mei Juren who was summoned by Kangxi. Later, after a hundred years of Meijuren, Cao Yin was also ordered by the emperor to erect a tablet and write an inscription for Meijuren.

The Mei family did not develop at that time, although they were summoned and rewarded by the emperor, even if they were also officials in the court later, how could they compare with the Cao family's status in front of Emperor Kangxi at that time. At that time, the marriage between the Mei family and the Cao family was mostly intended to take advantage of the prosperity of the Cao family in order to make their Mei family prosperous. It was precisely because of this that Mrs. Cao's sister married into the Mei family, gave birth to such a daughter, and became engaged to Cao Xueqin.

But now that the Cao family has fallen, the Mei family has won the appreciation of the university scholar Zhang Tingyu. Now it is different from the past, and the Mei family and his wife saw that Cao Xueqin was an unscrupulous child who had no intention of pursuing a career in the imperial examination, so they had the idea of resigning from the marriage and regretting the marriage.

Du Zhe is the benefactor of the Cao family at the moment, and he seems to have something to do with Prince Bao, who is most valued by the emperor at the moment, he has something to say, and everyone naturally has no objections. Du Zhe looked at Mrs. Mei and Miss Mei, and said with a smile:

"It's a pity that Miss Mei's lotus-colored gown is dirty, and today there are a few new horses in the cloth village, and Miss can go and make a new one," Du Zhe said as Prince Chongbao's guard blinked and spread out his hands, "And bring some silver money with you, if you see something you like, you can also buy a few more." ”

The guard officer sold Du Zhe's face very well, and put a few taels of silver heavily - enough to buy the most expensive material to make a few clothes.

Du Zhe handed the silver directly to Mrs. Mei, who was standing close to him, and smiled at Mrs. Mei, as if he didn't care, and said, "The silver hairpin on Madame's head looks new, but it doesn't match Madame's rich appearance. ”

Mrs. Mei looked at the beautiful boy in front of her and was dumbfounded, and took the silver for a long time before she remembered to thank her, and Du Zhe persuaded her a few words warmly, and asked the porter to send the two out first. When they went out, Du Zhecai looked at Mrs. Cao and Ding Rong and said, "Madame has a clear mirror in her heart, but it is inconvenient to speak, so I will speak for Madame in the future, and I hope Madame will not blame." ”

"Where, on the contrary, the son broke the bank," Mrs. Cao saw that Du Zhe helped her go to the boring person and her son's lifesaver, so she was very kind, "Dare to ask the son's surname, so that our Cao family can report ...... in the future."

"Madame! I suddenly remembered that Brother Zhan had told me about the important thing I had told this son," Ding Rong suddenly jumped up and interrupted Mrs. Cao's questioning, "You go back and take care of Brother Zhan first—I'll bring it over as soon as I've re-fried the medicine!" ”

After all, this shrewd little guy actually grabbed Du Zhe's sleeve and dragged him far away into the back kitchen. After Ding Rong pulled Du Zhe in, he immediately closed the door and locked it, looked very carefully to see that no one around him listened to the wall, and even closed Mrs. Cao's laughing and scolding of "this little thing" out of the door.

"Boss Qu," Ding Rong bowed respectfully to Du Zhe, "I'm afraid that Madame will ask about your identity, you tell me frankly, let the master know that Brother Zhan is dealing with you, I'm afraid that there will be a big incident again, so I ...... Make this decision, I hope Boss Qu doesn't blame you. ”

Du Zhe nodded, helped Ding Rong up, and said in his heart: No wonder this little guy looked like a ghost from the time he appeared at the door, and even peeked at him in the courtyard from time to time, it turned out that he knew his identity early in the morning.

"By the way," Du Zhe heard Ding Rong mention it, so he asked by the way, "What about your master?" ”

"It seems that the Shangli Prince's Mansion has gone to talk about something," Ding Rong glanced at the sky outside the window while decocting the medicine, "It's time to come back as usual, why is it a little late today?" Alas...... When the old man came back and saw that Brother Zhan was so seriously injured, he was afraid that he would lose his temper again, alas, ......"

"Knock knock-" The knock on the door suddenly sounded, and there was a girl's voice outside the door, "Rong'er, the master who saved Brother Zhan is here with you?" Brother Zhan woke up and asked us if we wanted someone! ”

Ding Rong looked up at Du Zhe and smiled evilly, hurriedly replied, "Here", and hurriedly poured out the medicine in his hand and put it in the bowl, and found a wooden tray and stuffed it into Du Zhe's hand, "Boss Qu, you can also send this medicine to our brother Zhan." ”

"Then you-"

"The slave still has to go and re-catch the sprinkled medicine for the master," Ding Rong squeezed his eyes at Du Zhe, and smiled more ambiguously, "You better go quickly, if the master is suffering from any lovesickness because of Boss Qu, the little one doesn't have the ability to catch the medicine doctor——! ”

After speaking, Ding Rong smiled "hehe", and the soles of his feet were oiled quickly. Angry, Du Zhe pinched the tray a few times to relieve his hatred, and then followed the maid to Cao Xueqin's room in the east.

Du Zhe entered the house with a medicine bowl, and he didn't know how Cao Xueqin coaxed her, the crying old lady Li and Mrs. Cao were not there, only Cao Xueqin was left to sit on the bed alone.

"You're here," Cao Xueqin was injured on her back, and she couldn't rely on a cushion or anything, so she sat like this, and a little sweat oozed from the corners of her forehead, and when she saw him come in, Cao Xueqin turned her head and patted the bed and said, "Dongliu, come and sit here." ”

"Let's drink the medicine first," Du Zhe handed the bowl of medicine that had been warmed in his hand to Cao Xueqin, seeing him like this, he felt sad again, walked over and sat down, and said again, "You should answer me, don't dare to joke with your life in the future." ”

Cao Xueqin didn't answer, took the medicine bowl over and drank it first, before smiling at Du Zhe. This smile actually suppressed the haggard and pale on his face, and the smile was so dazzling that Du Zhe couldn't take his eyes off.

"Eastward." Cao Xueqin blinked and called again.

"Ahh Du Zhecai found that he was stunned, and responded with some embarrassment, "Do what, what to do?" ”

"The medicine is so bitter ......"

Cao Xueqin's tone was very sad and aggrieved, and Du Zhe laughed for a while, he turned his head and sneered, "Cao Xueqin, how old are you, you are still afraid of the bitterness of medicine, do you want me to take a piece of sugar cake...... Hmm——! ”

Du Zhe spoke vigorously, completely ignoring Cao Xueqin's face that suddenly enlarged in front of him, and when he reacted, his lips had been suppressed, and the pale and chapped touch only lasted for a moment, and then something warm and soft probed his lips, and Du Zhe's mouth that he didn't have time to close was pushed open by his flexible tongue.

Cao Xueqin's hand gently wrapped around Qu Beiyi's waist, and buckled the back of his head, this sudden kiss was gentle, Du Zhe's eyes widened and looked at Cao Xueqin incredulously, and when he reacted that he was stolen, or was kissed by the author who he # wanted to save # Da # , Du Zhe was in the right moment, and his hands stretched out to refuse, but he was folded on his chest by Cao Xueqin, and he couldn't exert any strength.

Du Zhe had no experience in kissing, his breathing was out of rhythm under nervousness, and after a while, Cao Xueqin took advantage of his lips and tongue, he calmly attacked the city in Du Zhe's mouth, and a wisp of silver slipped down the corner of Du Zhe's mouth at the same time. When Cao Xueqin slowly withdrew from Du Zhe's mouth, Du Zhe took a few deep breaths, relieved himself, and looked at Cao Xueqin blankly with a pair of hazy water vapor.

Cao Xueqin seemed to be unsatisfied, he touched his chin, licked his lips, and smiled evilly, "Right now, this medicine is not bitter, the sugar in Dongliu's mouth is softer and more delicious than the most delicious sugar cake in the world." ”

"I ......" Du Zhe turned his head away, his heart beat faster, and he didn't know whether he was happy or ashamed, "Nonsense!" ”

"What nonsense am I talking about?" Cao Xueqin shook her head solemnly, stretched out her hand and pinched Qu Beiyi's chin, "Then this time I will change to taste what I have here, and I will know if I am talking nonsense-"

"You——! Hmm——! ”

At the same time that Cao Xueqin hugged Du Zhe and kissed again, there was a noisy sound in the Cao family's garden, and before Du Zhe could recover in a panic and push Cao Xueqin away, the door of the house was pushed open from the outside, followed by two women's screams one after the other, and the sound of a person falling to the ground.

"What are you doing?!! A cold and angry middle-aged man's voice sounded, and when the Cao family boarded up and down, they were confused-
