In the middle of the first month, the half of the general's mansion was filled with medicinal incense. Situ Yi was locked up in the room by Liu Qi to recuperate, but this time he was very obedient, and Zhenri only read and painted alone in the house or played chess with Liu Qi and chatted. Qin Nanxi often went to see him, and finally relieved to see him gradually recovering. The two still get along cordially, and he laughs as softly as ever but doesn't say anything else.

At noon on this day, Qin Nanxi went out of the door, and saw that A Luo was personally guarding the medicine jar under the porch to decoct the medicine, and from time to time he took the time to bow his head and embroider a few stitches of a small white object in his hand. Qin Nanxi was curious, and walked over lightly with the corner of her skirt, and saw that what she was holding was a half-embroidered fan pendant.

"Miss Su!" Ah Luo suddenly looked up and saw Qin Nanxi in front of him, and hurriedly pulled the fan into his sleeve.

"Arlo's craftsmanship is so good! The pear blossom embroidery seems to be real. Qin Nanxi looked at her with a smile and said.

Ah Luo blushed and smiled, turned around and picked up the medicine jar, tilted it slightly, and poured a line of thick black medicinal juice into the fine porcelain bowl.

"Miss Su, the general's medicine is boiled, so let's send it to the general." The corners of Ah Luo's pretty mouth curved, and her big watery eyes were full of smiles.

Qin Nanxi took the medicine bowl, sniffed it, wrinkled his nose and said: "Don't worry, the general is reading at this time, and it will disturb him if he goes, so it is better to wait for the medicine to dry and warm up before going." I can't drink such a hot medicinal juice. With that, he gently put the medicine on the small table in his hand, and carefully picked up the fan and covered it on the bowl.

"What did you just embroider?" Qin Nanxi simply sat down next to Ah Luo and chatted. In her eyes, Ah Luo always has a lot on her mind, her sad eyebrows like light smoke, and her silent and obedient figure like a shadow, always makes Qin Nanxi have a trace of pity.

"Yes, it's just a fan pendant." Ah Luo whispered, hesitantly pulling out the small half-finished product from her sleeve and handing it to her.

The fan in his hand is no bigger than a pigeon's egg, and the bottom of the silk is thinly curled with snow-white silk threads, and the center is embroidered with a blooming pear blossom. The petals are as fluffy as snow, and the stamens are as thin as silk, a needle and a thread, finely and densely embroidered. Looking at it in the sun, the silk thread is shining like snow against the sky, which is very realistic and beautiful.

"It was embroidered for Mr. Liu?" Qin Nanxi rubbed the soft silk tassel on the fan pendant and said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, the original one of Mr. is old, and it will be the second day of February in a few days, so Ah Luo thought of embroidering a new one for Mr. to replace." Arlo replied a little hesitantly.

"It's so pretty! Why do you have to change it on the second day of February? What's the point? Qin Nanxi held the fan pendant to his nose and sniffed it lowly, and said curiously. Yunze has many folk customs that are far from Chang'an, and whenever she encounters a difference, she always likes to explore the roots.

"Yunze has a particular point here, every year on the second day of February, Huanmu must be new, and the old things on his body must be replaced as much as possible. I wish this whole year of peace and well-being, and all things go well. A Luo glanced at the fan pendant in Qin Nanxi's hand and replied. The sincerity in her eyes was as pure and white as the half-embroidered fan pendant.

Qin Nanxi looked at the faint crimson in her faint smile, nodded clearly, and asked, "This pear blossom fragrance is so strong, where did you find the pear blossom on such a cold day?" ”

Ah Luo pursed her lips and said with a smile: "This flower is not what you are looking for. It was picked in the spring, washed the sand in the stream, dried and stored in a porcelain urn. After spring, take it out to make tea or make sachets. The pear blossom fragrance is elegant, and Mr. is used to it on weekdays, and there are only pear trees in the house. ”

Qin Nanxi sniffed the faint fragrance of pear blossoms on the fan pendant, and said with a smile: "Ah Luo is really attentive to Mr. Liu!" No wonder the general is so relieved that Ah Luo takes care of Mr. ”

Ah Luo lowered her head when she heard this, and responded in a low voice, "Miss Su, don't make fun of Ah Luo." No matter how dedicated Ah Luo is to Mr., it is difficult to repay Mr. for his kindness. ”

"Ender? Mr. Yu Luo is gracious? Qin Nanxi was surprised, she originally thought that the Aluo people had tried their best to maintain Liu Qi, but it was just because she admired Liu Qi wholeheartedly. She didn't expect Liu Qi to be kind to Ah Luo. How could a person like Liu Qi, who was as cold as the moonlight, be kind to A Luo?

Ah Luo lowered her head, slowly twisted the rope on her skirt with her two hands, and only spoke for a long time: "If there was no husband, Ah Luo would have died long ago!" ”

"Dead?" Qin Nanxi's eyes widened, she never expected that Liu Qi's kindness to Ah Luo turned out to be a life-saving grace.

Ah Luo nodded and said softly: "Ah Luo has been a slave in the army since he can remember. Originally, there was a mother and A Luo who depended on each other, but later, the mother fell ill and died. Only Ah Luo was left alone in the camp, and in those days, it was no longer more common to be beaten and starved. On August 23 of the year I was ten years old, I was ordered to deliver wine to the military master who was in charge of the army, but I accidentally fell and shattered the wine jug. The military master was so angry that he whipped me in public and almost beat me to death. ”

At this point, Arrot paused and gasped lowly. After all these years, the beating that day still left her with lingering palpitations. After a while, her frightened eyes were replaced by a sudden sweetness, and even her tone was much softer: "It is also the blessing of Ah Luo Sansheng, and it happened that Mr. was passing by there at that time." He drank the man and brought me back to his tent. Sir, he not only cured my whiplash, but also asked the general to remove my slavery and let me go home. But Ah Luo has been in the army since she was a child, and she doesn't know where her home is. When the general saw that I was quite clever, he ordered me to serve him before him. Over the years, Mr. and the general have treated Ah Luo very well, and to them, Ah Luo said that he was doing his best, even if he wanted to donate Ah Luo's life, Ah Luo did not care about it! ”

Qin Nanxi looked at the resoluteness in Ah Luo's eyes, knowing that her words were not mixed with a trace of falsehood, but she was only stunned that this shadow-like obedient Ah Luo had such a resolute mind. She didn't know how to answer, so she only reached out and stroked the back of Ah Luo's hand and patted it considerately.

"Miss Su, quickly send the medicine to the general! Sent by Miss, I'm afraid this medicine is easier to swallow than before! Ah Luo smiled sweetly, pulled out her hand, turned around and brought the medicine bowl under the pu fan, and joked.

For some reason, since Ruan's came to the house, Ah Luo has always been very considerate and caring for Qin Nanxi, and Qin Nanxi also feels that she is becoming more and more compatible with herself. Today she told all the secrets in her heart to herself, and even spoke more casually than usual. This makes Qin Nanxi happy, she likes Ah Luo, so she doesn't mind that she is not big or small with herself, as if she and her Xuerui are like a master and servant, just like sisters and girlfriends.

Qin Nanxi didn't twist, took the medicine bowl, nodded at Ah Luo, turned around and entered Situ Yi's door.

Situ Yi was only wearing a plain silk shirt, leaning on the bookcase very casually, holding a silk painting in his hand.

Qin Nanxi put down the medicine bowl, took off the regular clothes on the shelf, and gently draped them on him.

Situ Yi looked up, and saw that it was Qin Nanxi, his frowning eyebrows immediately stretched, and his bottomless eyes flashed in an instant, he glanced at the medicine bowl she had held in his hand, and said briskly: "Come and force me to drink medicine again?" ”

"If you don't drink, I'll go to Mr. Liu." Qin Nanxi brought the medicine bowl to his lips and smiled.

Situ Yi hurriedly begged for mercy and took the medicine bowl, tilted his neck back, and when the medicine was entered, his good-looking face was immediately twisted in one place, looking very painful.

Qin Nanxi covered her mouth and smiled: "In the past, I saw that you drank much more refreshingly!" How can this medicine make you so uncomfortable? The dignified general Zhenyuan, who drinks medicine, is still pushing back like a child. As he spoke, he turned around and took out a honey-stained plum from the small porcelain cup on the table and brought it to his mouth.

"Where can medicine be compared with wine, this wine is a rare good ...... in the world"

"No matter how good the wine is, you will have to do less in the future!" Liu Qi's cold voice came from the door, interrupting Situ Yi.

The two turned around in response, only to see Liu Qi coming in slowly.

Qin Nanxi blessed Liu Qi, seeing that he had something to say to Situ Yi, she just wanted to resign, but she heard Liu Qi say to her: "Miss Su, let's stay and listen, this official letter I have here is from Lord Qin Nanfu Qin, isn't Miss going back to Chang'an with Lord Qin next month?" It's better to listen to Lord Qin's arrangement. ”

When Qin Nanxi heard this, the foot that had taken a step suddenly settled, and his hands couldn't help but hold his skirt tightly, and it took a long time to turn around, look at Situ Yi, and ask, "Qin, Lord Qin is here so soon?" ”
