Seeing that Qing'er was still hesitant and reluctant to do anything, Zhong Ziyuan couldn't help but smile and said: "Although it is autumn now, the sun is still warm, you open the windows for an hour or two every afternoon, which will not freeze Miss Liu and can make the air in the house circulating." Removing these foul odors is only beneficial to the patient. ”

Liu Yucian also poked her head out, panted slightly, and said timidly: "Qing'er, do what Doctor Jia wants." ”

Seeing that her young lady also spoke, Qing'er had to obediently walk to the window and push it away with a "squeak". A fresh air mixed with the smell of grass immediately poured into the house cheerfully, and the originally turbid and stagnant breath in the room immediately loosened. A small pink butterfly took the opportunity to fly in, flapping its wings and dancing happily in front of everyone.

Liu Yucian saw it groggily, and reluctantly smiled: "How many years have it been, and the window of my house is opened for the first time, but it doesn't think my house smells bad." ”

Zhong Ziyuan saw that Liu Yuciao's eyes were misty and her breath was shallow, and she knew that she was in good spirits and tired. Hurriedly raised the bamboo basket in his hand and said, "Miss Liu, you haven't seen the gift I gave you!" Why don't you open it yourself and take a look. ”

When Liu Yucian heard this, she reluctantly lifted her spirit and said, "Qing'er, help me up." ”

"Yes." Qing'er hurriedly came over and helped her up, and the other maid immediately hugged a fine and heavy mattress and put it behind her. Just such a small gesture made Liu Yucicada's wheezing sound a little worse. made Qing'er panic, and it took a while to stroke her chest and pat her back before she could breathe her breath.

At this time, the cotton cloth covered by the bamboo basket moved gently on its own. There was a faint 'whine' sound from inside, and slowly, a small, sparsely haired but round head poked out. Xiao Liu Xu has been in the basket for a long time. Sullen tight. Finally poked its little head out, it immediately stretched out a pink tongue, snorting and panting, and a pair of round eyes were like a layer of mist, innocently and curiously staring at the Liu Yucicada in front of it.

Liu Yucian was shocked, and she said timidly: "What is this?" Look at the strange pitiful. ”

Zhong Ziyuan didn't expect that Liu Yucia hadn't even seen a puppy. Qing'er on the side smiled and said: "This is a puppy, and it doesn't have any hair." I'm afraid it's not been a month yet! ”

"It's only been fifteen days old! The eyes have just opened" Zhong Ziyuan lifted the cotton cloth on the bamboo basket and said with a smile: "It's called Xiaoliu, and it's a gift from me." Do you like it? ”

Liu Yuciao's eyes lit up, and she said incredulously: "This is the gift you gave me?" ”

Most women will have no resistance to this tiny, flimpy animal, especially if it uses an innocent one. When the wet eyes look at you. Liu Yuciao's heart was instantly sprouted by Xiao Liu. She stretched out her hand in surprise and joy, wanting to stroke Xiaoliu's head.

Qing'er hurriedly stopped: "Miss, you can't touch it." Have you forgotten that Madame does not allow you to touch small animals? Liu Yucian was stunned for a moment, her bright eyes immediately dimmed, and her outstretched hand was retracted again.

Zhong Ziyuan didn't seem to notice the gloom in her eyes, only stroked Xiao Liu's head one by one, and said indifferently: "Xiao Liu is quite pitiful, he was born with a broken leg. Not only did he not have the strength to grab milk and drink with his brothers and sisters, but he was also scratched and bruised all over his body. But he struggled with hunger and hunger. It managed to survive. Although he is not as healthy as other dogs, and not as beautiful as other dogs, he is definitely the one who stands out from the crowd. Miss Liu, would you like to be its master? ”

Listening to Zhong Ziyuan's words, Liu Yuchan's heart couldn't help but turn a thousand times, she seemed to see her own shadow in Xiao Liu, and her heart couldn't help but be sour and bitter. She smiled bitterly and said to herself: "Now I don't even know how long I can live, where can I take care of it, you better find another owner for it!" After speaking, she bit her lower lip lightly, and a pair of wonderful eyes lingered on Xiao Liu.

"yes, that's a shame." Zhong Ziyuan was not in a hurry, but said with a regretful face: "Little Liu, Little Liu, since Miss Liu is unwilling to take care of you, I can only send you back to the kennel." I just hope that your dogs and sisters will be merciful and give you the rest of your stuttering, so that you don't starve to death before the full moon. She stood up and covered Xiaoliu again with a cotton cloth, and then lifted the bamboo basket and wanted to leave.

Liu Yucian was startled, and hurriedly shouted, "You wait." ”

Zhong Ziyuan looked back at her and pretended to be puzzled and asked, "What else is wrong with Miss Liu?" ”

Liu Yucian bit her lower lip and twisted her hands tightly together. After half a sound, he finally spoke: "Doctor Jia, I know you are scaring me. You even saved me, a person I didn't know, how could you bear to send Xiaoliu back and let the rest of the dogs trample on it. Actually, I also hate to take care of Xiaoliu, but you also know that with my current body, there is no way to take care of it for a long time. Then why should I drag it to suffer with it? ”

Zhong Ziyuan smiled, sat down next to Liu Yucian again, and said, "You see that Xiaoliu's stomach is deflated, I think he must be hungry, why don't we feed it first, how about it?" ”

It was impossible for Liu Yucian to object to this proposal, on the contrary, she was very much looking forward to it, and nodded hurriedly and said, "Qing'er, go get some fresh milk." ”

"Yes." Qing'er agreed crisply and walked out quickly.

Qing'er went out of the yard and did not rush to get milk, but turned a corner and came to a wing room with blue windows and white stone terraces. There was also a stove under the eaves of the wing room, and there was a silver medicine hanging on the stove, which was boiling so loudly that it felt like the smell of medicine that had penetrated into the internal organs was diffusing in the air for a while. The scent of roses in the corner of the wall was obscured. However, whether it is the master or the subordinate in the Liu Mansion, they have long been familiar with this smell.

Qing'er opened the curtain and walked in, and saw Mrs. Liu sitting on the collapse, holding a glass tea cup in her hand and silently distracted. Ling'er saw Qing'er come in with the curtain lifted, and hurriedly beckoned and shouted, "Come here, Madame is in a hurry." ”

Qing'er hurriedly stepped forward and bent her knees to bend her knees, and Mrs. Liu came back to her senses. Put the glass tea cup in his hand on the Nanmu table, and listen to the crisp sound of "ding". Mrs. Liu ignored it completely, and stared at Qing'er with a pair of tired eyes. said: "How did Dr. Jia treat Miss? ”

Although Mrs. Liu condescended to personally invite Zhong Ziyuan to see Liu Yucian for Liu Yuciao, she still had ten thousand worries in her heart, so she secretly inquired about the situation in the house.

Who knew that Qing'er shook her head and said, "Doctor Jia has never treated Miss. After a pause, she continued: "Dr. Jia only asked us to open the window, saying that it was to change the air inside, which would be good for the patient. She also brought the young lady a puppy that had not yet been weaned. Said it was a gift for Miss, but Miss refused. ”

Mrs. Liu was startled and stood up violently. said: "Nonsense, Imperial Doctor Liu and they all said that the cicadas must pay attention to keeping warm, and must not be blown by the wind." No, it is easy to be infected by wind and cold, and cough disease. She. Will she ever see a doctor? How can you open the window, isn't this the life of the cicada? No, I'm going to stop it. ”

"Don't worry, ma'am." Qing'er hurriedly said: "Before opening the window, Dr. Jia instructed us to move the large black lacquer soft inlaid luodian screen, which happened to block the wind and couldn't blow it on the young lady. ”

Ling'er also raised her voice and reminded: "Madam, have you forgotten? Dr. Jia said that when she treated Miss. You can't interfere, or we'll have to ask for another master. ”

Mrs. Liu heard this. A pair of eyebrows couldn't help frowning slightly. She sat down slowly, and whispered incomprehensibly, "How is she going to cure the cicada?" ”

looked up and saw Qing'er still standing in place, looking at herself with blank eyes. Mrs. Liu waved her hand helplessly and said, "You go!" Be careful and don't go wrong. ”

"Yes." Qing'er bent her knees with a bitter face, turned around and retreated.

Mrs. Liu was stunned for a while, suddenly sighed, and said to herself with a wry smile: "I really don't know if inviting this Doctor Jia is a blessing or a curse for the cicada."

Qing'er brought a bowl of hot milk with a small tea tray of plum blossom and vermilion lacquer, and when she entered the house, she happened to hear a small exclamation from Liu Yucicada.

Qing'er was startled and hurriedly walked over. Seeing that Liu Yucian was instigated by Zhong Ziyuan, she timidly stretched out her finger and put it on Xiao Liu's mouth. Xiao Liu was extremely hungry, and immediately stretched out his two paws to hold Liu Yuciao's fingers, and then stretched out his pink tongue and licked it one by one.

After Liu Yucian screamed, he chuckled and said, "It's so itchy."

Qing'er breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, "Miss, the milk is here." ”

"Bring it quickly, Xiaoliu is hungry." During Qing'er's absence, Liu Yucian couldn't help but be seduced and gently stroked Xiao Liu's soft body, and she immediately fell in love with this feeling. Especially when Xiao Liu pressed her soft body against her palm and put her wet eyes on her with great trust, she suddenly had a sense of satisfaction that was needed.

Watching Xiao Liu stretch out the tip of her pink tongue and lick the milk in the bowl with satisfaction, Liu Yuciao's dark yellow little face finally showed a knowing smile, she hesitated for a moment, and said, "Doctor Jia, I have changed my mind and want to keep Xiao Liu." But I don't know how long I can take care of it. ”

Zhong Ziyuan had long known that she couldn't refuse this weak life, she smiled slightly, and said, "It's so good, it has a proper place, and I'm relieved." As for how long you can take care of it, it depends on its creation. ”

Although Liu Yucian stayed at home and was humble and self-pitying, she was not stupid, and she instantly understood what Zhong Ziyuan meant. She smiled gratefully at Zhong Ziyuan and said, "I can't say it, I'm just earning my life!" ”

The milk in the bowl only went down a shallow layer, but Xiao Liu's shriveled belly slowly bulged. Seeing that it was full, he stretched out his front paws and picked up the milk foam hanging from the corner of his mouth, then lazily stretched his body and began to arch in the bamboo basket.

Seeing this, Liu Yucian couldn't help but wonder: "What's wrong with it?" ”

Zhong Ziyuan said with a smile: "When you are full, you will be sleepy, it wants to find a warmer place to sleep!" ”

Liu Yucian laughed and said, "Qing'er, go get some old jackets, I want to help Xiao Liuzi make a warm nest with my own hands." ”

"Yes." Qing'er had no choice but to agree. She didn't go out, and Mrs. Liu led Ling'er into a bowl of ink-black medicinal soup.

Mrs. Liu's endurance is now the limit, but when she entered the house, she saw Liu Yucian half-lying on the mattress, although her little yellow face showed fatigue, but her eyes were shining, and there was no sign of coughing. She couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief in her heart. smiled: "Excuse me, but, cicada, you should drink the medicine." ”

Liu Yucian stuck out her tongue mischievously at Zhong Ziyuan, and said with a smile: "Patronizing Xiaoliu, I forgot about drinking medicine." In just half an hour, with the help of Xiao Liu's origin, and Mrs. Liu had already explained to her Zhong Ziyuan's identity as a woman, the two quickly became acquainted.

Zhong Ziyuan only smelled it, and knew that this was a pair of medicines to treat the loss of liver yin and the depletion of heart qi, she smiled slightly and said nothing. I saw that Mrs. Liu personally held a silver spoon and fed this bowl of bitter medicinal juice to Liu Yucicada's mouth one by one. Liu Yucian took it in small sips, swallowed it slowly, and didn't even frown, which shows that she usually uses this swarthy medicinal juice as water to drink.

After only half of the drink, Qing'er took a few old jackets that she couldn't wear and returned to the house. Liu Yuchan's eyes couldn't help but light up when she saw it, and she said anxiously: "Mother, I'll drink it myself!" After saying that, she took the remaining half bowl of medicinal juice and drank it in one gulp.

Mrs. Liu was stunned and smiled in shock: "Where is it in a hurry." ”

Liu Yucicada has been lying sick all day long, always feeling that every day is a torment, and now she finally has something to do, so she is naturally more interested than ordinary people.

She personally took scissors and twisted those old jackets in the shape of a bamboo basket, laid them out thinly, and used them for Xiao Liuzi to keep warm. Seeing that she was concentrating, Zhong Ziyuan quietly pulled Mrs. Liu, and Mrs. Liu understood and immediately followed her out.

Zhong Ziyuan smiled and said, "Don't blame Madam, without your consent, I brought a puppy to Miss Liu." ”

Mrs. Liu was indeed very unhappy in her heart, and it could be seen that Liu Yucicada seemed to be in a good mood, and she was not easy to have a seizure, so she only said lightly: "Actually, the cicada used to raise a red-billed and green-haired parrot, she liked it very much, and she had to feed it herself every day, and listen to its call at night to fall asleep." Then one night, the parrot was picked up by a wild cat. The next day, when the cicada woke up and found only a few feathers left in the cage, she cried profusely, and then had a high fever for seven days in a row, and almost lost her life. From then on, I would not allow live animals to appear in front of her. Because her temperament is too kind, she can't stand such a parting of life and death. (To be continued......)
