No.376 Worrying about life

After the two sat down face to face, Qingshu urged Zhou Boyan to drink the honey water while it was hot, and explained, "It can warm up the body, and it will also moisten the throat to some extent, and the throat will be more comfortable." Seeing that he stared at the teacup without moving, he added, "I didn't put much, it's not sweet." She couldn't help but sigh silently in her heart, feeling that she was really a worrying fate.

Qing Shu glanced back at him, "Hang it on the hanger." ”

Zhou Boyan answered, walked to the table, and untied the big frays on his body

Qing Shu put down the thick curtain inside, walked to the boiling stove, and was about to lift the freshly boiled kettle, "Go and sit down at the table, I'll make you a bowl of honey water to warm up." ”

Zhou Boyan entered the house and quickly closed the sliding door.

Qingshu looked at the courtyard, and there was only Zhou Boyan alone. "Come in!" Her tone was not very good, but the look of concern between her eyebrows and eyes could not be hidden, so she stepped back and let go out.

Zhou Boyan was wearing a very thick body, and he was wearing a hat on his head that Gu Shi insisted on him wearing. He ignored Qing Shu's complaints, and wondered why Qing Shu came to open the door, but he also asked quietly, "It's cold outside, don't you want to invite me in?" ”

In winter, the doors and windows are closed to keep out the cold, especially Qingshu has done enough work to keep out the cold. Therefore, the sound coming into the house sounded a little blurry, but she could probably hear Zhou Boyan's voice. In this way, she didn't want to take the self-defense, walked over quickly, opened and rolled up the thick curtain in the door, pushed the sliding door open, and then lifted the thick curtain outside, and the exit was a complaining statement, "If you don't recuperate, why did you come to me?" ”

"It's me." Zhou Boyan, who had already entered the hospital and walked outside the Qingshu Gate, spoke out. He frowned unconsciously at the moment, and was dissatisfied with Qingshu's maid in his heart. He stood in the courtyard for a while, and Qingshu's maid didn't notice any man breaking into the women's inner courtyard. These maids are too casual and less vigilant. If he hadn't been coughing, he wouldn't have known when he would have found out that a man had broken in?

There seemed to be a slight noise in the courtyard. She didn't think much about it, just thought it was the rumor, and continued to walk slowly around the house, all of which were gone. Until a muffled cough came into her ears, and it seemed to be from a man, she was startled, "Who's outside?" She asked aloud as she quickly scanned her surroundings to get something to defend herself on.

Closing the book, she got up from her chair and walked slowly through the room. She felt that she was a worried life, not only about her younger brother, but also about her future husband Zhou Boyan. When he came back this time, he was not in the right state, and he didn't know what was going on!

Sooner or later, she herself will have to get married, and even if she will take care of her younger brothers, there will always be a time when the whip will not be able to reach her. She had to plan ahead and train her younger brothers early enough to be able to use them in the future. There are also Butler Gu and Mother Su on the side to take care of her, and she can rest assured.

The four maids of the Lizi generation, she is prepared for herself. The spring and autumn equinoxes are to be prepared for Qinghao, and the summer and winter solstices are to be prepared for Qingyang. Preparing maids for Qinghao and Qingyang is naturally not to prepare them with a roommate, but to prepare them with a competent, trustworthy, and first-class maid. In the future, if these four maids can stand the test, when they reach the age, let them marry and be the housekeepers, and then stay by Qinghao and Qingyang's side to run errands. In addition to the maid, there is no shortage of young servants around the younger brother, especially when they go out to study and broaden their horizons in a year or two.

Qingshu gave Xiaoya a big name, called Lichun. She has thought about it, and she wants to train eight capable maids. The names are arranged according to the beginning of spring, the beginning of summer, the beginning of autumn, the beginning of winter, and the spring equinox, summer solstice, autumn equinox, and winter solstice. Now that Lichun has it, it's Xiaoya. There is also a Lixia, which is selected from the little girl who is being trained by Su's mother. The candidates for the beginning of autumn, the beginning of winter and the spring equinox, summer solstice, autumn equinox and winter solstice are still in the waiting stage.

Seeing that the master is like this, whether it is Xiaoyu or Xiaojuan, he does not dare to have any objections. The two of them took Lichun out, closed the door and went to the kitchen to eat.

Qing Shu felt that he had nothing to do now, and he didn't need to keep a maid by his side at all. So she waved her hand, meaning to let the little fish and them go quickly, and she didn't say much.

Xiao Yu listened to the master's words and said, "Miss, let Xiaojuan and Lichun go first, and then they will go back to the slave and maid." "Under normal circumstances, the three maids also have to take turns to eat. Yesterday it was Xiao Juan to stay, and today it is her turn to stay. Lichun is still young, she and Xiaojuan never let Lichun stay. This Lichun is none other than the daughter of the cook Xu Sanniang, that is, Xiaoya.

Qing Shu raised his eyes, "You three, let's go eat!" "This is the rule, the master has eaten before it is the turn of the next person to eat, and they have to go to the dining hall arranged in the kitchen to eat, one dining room for men and one dining room for women and children. However, when there are special circumstances in the government, this rule does not need to be strictly observed, and the steward or steward will adjust it temporarily. She would also occasionally let her maid eat with her.

Xiaoyu took off the oil lampshade, picked the wick of the oil lamp a few times, and then took the scissors to cut off a little wick, and then put the oil lampshade back.

Half a day passed in a blink of an eye. When it was dark, Qing Shu had just had dinner, and was sitting under the oil lamp and flipped through the books on the table for a while.

The door opened and closed, and Zhou Boyan's call did not keep Qingshu's footsteps.

Qing Shu suddenly came back to her senses, and when she saw Zhou Boyan's concerned eyes and the eager expressions of Qingyang and the others, she realized that she was actually stunned. She sighed embarrassedly and urged Zhou Boyan, "The food is going to be cold, hurry up and eat it while it's hot." Eat more, and get better faster. She didn't wait for Zhou Boyan to say anything, turned around and left, and dropped a sentence when she passed by Luo Xiaorong's side, "You stay with your brother for a while and then go back, and my sister will warm up the food and wait for you to use it together." ”

“…… Sister, what's wrong with you? Sister ......"

“…… Shu, I'm fine, Shu, Shu......"

When we met last night, the light of the lantern was not good, and she couldn't see his face clearly. Now that I can see it clearly, I realize that his face is not good. Also, although he was smiling when he saw her, she felt that there was a faint sadness between his eyebrows. No, to be exact, it should be the color of loneliness. What's going on? When you go out, is there something bad happening?

Qing Shu entered the house, looked at him twice, and personally brought out a bowl of egg drop soup, a bowl of skin jelly with sauce, a bowl of boiled soft red bean and white rice porridge, and a plate of vegetarian fried shiitake mushrooms from the food basket, and put them on the table together with the food sent from the kitchen. The food she brought was relatively easy to swallow, and it was made with his sore throat in mind.

At this time, Zhou Boyan was sitting at the table with his clothes draped, and was preparing for lunch.

When it was time for lunch, Qing Shu made a few light things to eat and put them in the food basket and handed them to Xiaojuan to carry. She went back to the house to change her clothes and took Qingyang and them over to visit the patient.

The three of them agreed, stayed by their sister's side to play in the morning, and practiced calligraphy for a while in the middle, but they didn't go anywhere.

Qing Shu knew that Zhou Boyan was not suffering from a serious illness, but just typhoid fever, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She instructed Qingyang and the three of them, "My brother needs to rest, don't disturb my brother's recuperation." It's okay to visit the doctor every day, but not for too long. ”

Qingyang, Qinghao and Luo Xiaorong gathered around Zhou Boyan's bedside, said comforting words for a while, and ran to talk to their sister together.

Dr. Zhou checked Yan Gongzi's pulse for a while, asked a few questions, and said that typhoid fever was aggravated, and he had to take decoction for two or three days. He prescribed a prescription, instructed a few taboos in terms of diet, and then asked someone to grab the medicine.

The ancient housekeeper got Xin'er and invited Dr. Zhou to treat Yan Gongzi as soon as possible.

Feeling unwell, coupled with the fact that he had braved the cold for a day, Zhou Boyan was very tired. Soon after his head was on the pillow, he soon fell into a deep sleep. He thought that after a good night's sleep, such a minor illness as typhoid fever would pass. Who would have thought that when I woke up the next morning, I felt lightheaded, weak and weak, and my voice was hoarse and painful when I spoke. He smiled bitterly, but he knew in his heart that he had not paid attention to the previous little typhoid fever because of his heavy heart, which led to such bitter fruits. He wasn't afraid that he would get a minor illness, but he was just afraid that Qingshu would be worried.

Gu Shi waited for Gongzi to rinse his mouth, and then waited for Gongzi to go to bed in a wide coat in the dormitory, and then blew out the oil lamp on the table, and closed the door lightly and went out.

After eating, Qingyang urged Zhou Boyan to rest early, and made an appointment to have dinner together tomorrow morning, and then left with Qinghao and Luo Xiaorong.

This hot meal, with Qingshu's mind in it, and Qingyang and them by their side, Zhou Boyan's appetite is very good.

Just when Zhou Boyan couldn't resist the enthusiastic feeding action, four bowls of steaming shredded meat noodles were served. Xiaojuan put the noodles of the middle bowl in front of Zhou Boyan, and the noodles of the three small bowls were placed in front of Qingyang, Qinghao and Luo Xiaorong respectively, and chopsticks were added.

Gu Shishi turned around and snickered, relieved. Childe has had a very poor appetite since he caught a cold, and he hasn't eaten much. Even if he came back, before the three young masters came, except for the bowl of egg drop soup that was drunk quickly, the dishes on the table basically didn't move much. Now it's okay, there are three young masters staring, and there are three young masters who feed them by hand, I don't believe that the son doesn't eat much!

Zhou Boyan nodded with a smile on his face. It's just that when the three hands and three rolled lotus leaf cakes were handed to his mouth together, he couldn't cry or laugh, and ate them all one by one.

Qingyang was stunned for a moment, and immediately looked happy again, "Brother still eats?" I'll roll it for my brother. ”

Zhou Boyan was happy, and he didn't pay attention to anything, so he took a bite of the lotus leaf cake rolled with shredded pork in Beijing sauce and ate it with Qingyang's hand. Qingyang smiled and narrowed his eyes, but found that the soup in the remaining half of the lotus leaf cake in his hand flowed out and flowed to his hand. He screamed in a hurry. Zhou Boyan was amused, grabbed Qingyang's hand, opened his mouth wide and took the rest into his mouthful.

Qingyang cleaned his hands, rolled a lotus leaf cake and handed it to Zhou Boyan's mouth, "Brother has lost weight, eat this, this is delicious." He felt that Brother Yan's face was not very good.

Gu Shishi hurriedly took the food basket and opened it, took out the shredded pork with Beijing sauce and hot and sour cabbage, as well as the lotus leaf cake with shredded pork with Beijing sauce and put it on the table.

At this time, Qingyang arrived, carrying a food basket in his hand. He didn't come with Qinghao and Luo Xiaorong because he went to his sister's side first, and by the way, he took the initiative to ask Ying to bring the food basket that his sister had just loaded.

Qing Hao and Luo Xiaorong came, sitting on both sides of Zhou Boyan on the left and right, shushing and asking for warmth.

Zhou Boyan said, "I didn't take medicine today, it doesn't hurt to drink some wine, it's full." He didn't care about the tangled face of the stone, and slowly drank the small bowl of egg drop soup in front of him. After that, I sipped the sake slowly and methodically, and ate the food with a bite or a bite.

Gu Shi set up a chair, invited Childe to take a seat, and then said, "Childe, Miss has ordered, drink egg drop soup first to warm your stomach." Seeing that Childe was staring at the wine jug, he explained, "Miss ordered someone to send it well." The little one didn't dare to mention that the son was unwell and should not drink, so he left the wine behind. ”

Zhou Boyan washed and bathed out, and a plate of small pickles for rice was already placed on the table, as well as a steaming bowl of egg drop soup and two stir-fried vegetables. There is also a jug of wine next to it, a wine glass.

Su's mother also went to the kitchen, but she didn't meet Qingshu. But she understood that the young lady was preparing it in her own kitchen, and the kitchen was ready to prepare the food of the guards.

Xiaojuan got the order on the way here, so she quickly packed the required ingredients with a clear goal and hands and feet, and then whispered something to Xu Sanniang, carried a vegetable basket in each hand, and followed Qingshu.

Qing Shu looked at the ingredients on the kitchen counter, didn't say anything, and motioned for Xiaojuan to take something.

When Qing Shu arrived at the kitchen, the cook Xu Sanniang and Guan Pozi were already there, and there were two little girls who helped them. Xu Sanniang and Guan Pozi are processing the ingredients, and the two little girls are washing vegetables and the other is lighting a fire. When the four of them saw Qing Shu, they stopped what they were doing to say hello.

Zhou Boyan cut off Gu Shishi's words, "I poured a cool stomach on the road, and hot soup and hot water can solve the problem, don't alarm Miss." Just in case, get a doctor tomorrow morning. He felt that he was fine, it was dark and cold, and he didn't want to toss Dr. Zhou.

Gu Shishi frowned, "But......" He doesn't understand, being sick is being sick, what is there to hide?

Zhou Boyan waved his hand to stop Gu Shi from speaking, and he stood in place for a long time before coughing, and warned, "Take care of your mouth, don't say something that doesn't reach Miss's ears, so that Miss is worried." ”

Gu Shishi leaned over, "Childe, ...... you"

Zhou Boyan nodded, didn't say anything, and walked a little eagerly. Can you not be in a hurry? He forced the strange sensation in his throat to stop coughing on the spot. When he walked a distance, he couldn't help it, raised his sleeves to cover his mouth, and coughed in a muffled voice.

Qing Shu was anxious to make him something to eat, "Cheng, cook noodles." You go back and wash up first, and when the noodles are cooked, they will be sent to you. ”

Seeing her smile, Zhou Boyan's eyes flashed, and there was a smile in his eyes, "Noodles!" He didn't know that dumplings were ready-made, and thought it was easier to cook noodles than dumplings.

Qing Shu suppressed the doubts in his heart and smiled at him, "If you want to eat dumplings or noodles, I'll cook them." "The dumplings are wrapped in advance and frozen, make a fire, boil water, and cook in a pot, which is convenient. If the noodles are alive, you have to wake up for a while, and you have to wait a while for the dough to roll the noodles again. When it comes to resting noodles, you can stir-fry a few dishes.

Zhou Boyan silently stood with Qing Shu in his arms for a moment, then suddenly let go, withdrew his arms, and took two steps back to stand still. He looked at Qing Shu's eyes with heavy eyes, and said in a non-serious voice, "I'm back." ”

Qing Shu felt that something was not quite right with this person, and couldn't help but be even more puzzled, and uneasiness welled up in his heart.

Zhou Boyan just hugged Qing Shu, using a lot of force, and didn't speak.
