Yuan'er's high fever has not subsided, sometimes coughing violently, and the child, who is as weak as a boneless child, will bounce up from the bed every time he coughs, and fall heavily on the bed. In addition, there are pustules on the face and limbs, and the blood-like pus oozes out, which is very terrifying.

Jiang Taichang said that whether the child can be saved depends on tonight, so she insisted on staying next to her sickbed, Jiang Taichang did not allow it, so she begged bitterly, saying how the child's life is hard, if God has to take it, there should be a relative by his side.

Jiang Taichang reluctantly asked people to take a cotton cloth, wrap it around her mouth and nose, and repeatedly ordered that she could sit by the window, and never sit in front of the couch. She said yes, and then she begged for a chance to accompany Yuan'er.

Manyun twisted the handkerchief and put it on Yuan'er's forehead, and took a new handkerchief to wipe his festering skin, hearing Yuan'er's extremely weak wail, Cai Ling turned his eyes.

"In the past few days, you have called your mother and aunt the most." Cai Ling said to Yuan'er gently, as if talking to herself, "Auntie has never heard you mention Daddy. ”

"Do you know what kind of man your father is? There are three aunts and brothers, and your father is the closest and closest to me. When he was a child, he was naughty, and often took me out of the Prime Minister's Mansion to hunt rabbits in the suburbs of Beijing, and never disliked me for running slowly. Once, when I broke my foot, your father carried me all the way back slowly, telling stories as he went, walking and walking, and actually got lost. The night was dark and the wind was high, and I was afraid, but your father found a ruined temple and made a bed with straw, saying that after dawn he would find a home in the direction of the rising sun. ”

Cai Ling fell into deep thought, but there was a slight smile on her face.

"Then the family members brought us to us with torches. After I went back, I was punished for copying books, and your father was sent to Luoyang to apprentice, and from then on we met every three years until he grew up. Now your father doesn't like to go out of the house, and his favorite thing is to hide in the house and carve, and even talk to different people. Many years have passed, and we have lost the courage to brave the hardships and the optimism that we can find a home by walking towards the sun, but the boy I used to be was the light in my life. My aunt loved him. ”

"If your father is in the capital and sees that my family Yuan'er is sick, he will not be in a hurry to make a mess like my aunt, but he will definitely sit by Yuan'er's side and guard until dawn."

"Speaking of your mother, why didn't she do it for your own good, thinking that the road after leaving you with your grandmother would be a lot less thorny, after all, your grandmother and your aunt love you very much. If something happens to you, your mother will have no hope for the future, and your aunt and grandmother will regret it for the rest of their lives. ”

……

I didn't close my eyes all night, the sky gradually revealed the white of the fish belly, and the glow of the morning sun sprinkled on Cai Ling's body through the gap in Xiaoxuan's window, she was dizzy but was blown by the cold wind and immediately sobered, said too much, and felt a slight pain in her throat.

"Auntie......" The hoarse and weak shout, but it was like a gong and drum beating in her heart shook the sky, Cai Ling was so excited that she suddenly jumped up from the chair and hurriedly approached, "Yuan'er! Aunt is in ......"

The maids were also excited, and hurriedly went to invite Jiang Taichang, but it was Shen Muchi who entered the house with Taichang.

When she took the pulse too often, Cai Ling bowed her head to Shen Muchi, which was grateful from the bottom of her heart.

Yuan'er was able to save her life, and the rest of the treatment was to maintain moisture, increase nutrition, and skin care.

Jiang Taichang strongly objected to Cai Ling staying in this house, and said to Shen Muchi: "Please leave quickly, Your Highness." ”

Cai Ling didn't dare to say more, and said a few words of comfort and encouragement to Yuan'er, who knew that Yuan'er said intermittently: "Yuan'er is fine, aunt take care of herself." ”

The line of hot tears instantly condensed in his eyes, as if the child in front of him was the third brother in Jiang's mansion many years ago, the third brother who laughed all day long, climbed the wall, beat rabbits, and lived in a broken temple.

……

After more than ten days, Yuan'er was able to get out of bed and run, but the abscesses on her face and body were scabbing over, and the itching was uncomfortable. Cai Ling carefully asked Jiang Taichang how to avoid scars, how to give birth to such a likable child, if he becomes pockmarked, what if he is good!

After another ten days, even if he applied ointment every day, Yuan'er was not allowed to scratch hard, but there were still some traces, more on his calves and arms, and only one or two places on his face, which did not affect his soft and lovely. Cai Ling was extremely annoyed, always feeling that she had not done her best.

"Auntie, don't be sad. I didn't just rely on this skin when I grew up. Yuan'er squatted on the carpet and played with stones.

Cai Ling couldn't help but laugh, "I didn't expect to be young, and what I said made a lot of sense." Who taught? ”

"Auntie." Yuan'er raised her head and said, "My aunt also said that a good man should be a humble gentleman and gentle as jade. ”

Liang Mingyue looks at the man better than her. In the past, she only recognized a suave and outstanding person. However, didn't Liang Mingyue also fall in love with Shen Muchi? Where is he humble and gentlemanly, gentle as jade? He's as cold as snow, okay!

When the words came to his lips, he just nodded yes, "Your aunt said it very well." ”

As he spoke, a cloud of tea came in. Cai Ling smiled and took the tea, and was about to drink it, when Man Yun suddenly raised his hand to knock over the tea bowl, and the hot water burned Cai Ling's hands slightly red, and even Yuan'er, who had just recovered from illness, rushed up, threatening to protect his aunt.

Cai Ling stopped him aside, only to see Manyun who was kneeling on the ground trembling and full of fatigue. For many days, if she hadn't taken good care of Yuan'er, the child would not know what the situation would be at this time. Her aunt and nephew had never said a word of thanks to Manyun, and they couldn't help but feel guilty.

"Yuan'er, Sister Manyun has been taking care of you for so many days, I'm too tired. Hurry up and thank Sister Manyun. With that, he went to help Manyun.

Manyun dodged, avoiding her hand. Cai Ling thought it was because her hands were wet, so she let Yuan'er go. Manyun kowtowed and said, "The slave is derelict in her duty and should not stay with the girl anymore." ”

"What are you talking about?" Cai Ling hurriedly said, "It's been too hard for you for a few days, go and rest, and come back in a few days, let's talk about it in detail." ”

Manyun hurriedly stepped back, paused as he crossed the threshold, and held the door frame with both hands, as if he were crumbling. Cai Ling only thought that she was too tired, just like she had guarded Yuan'er all night, and she was also groggy when she returned to the couch. was about to help, but Yuan'er said, "Auntie, I'm hungry." ”

was mentioned by Yuan'er like this, and she suddenly woke up.

These people in the courtyard helped their aunt and nephew a lot, but she didn't say anything, and she really didn't want to go. But after thinking about it, I was trapped in Hanzhang Courtyard, and I didn't know how to thank him.

Watching Yuan'er gulp down chicken soup, she suddenly opened her mind.

Shen Muchi likes to eat steamed sea bass, so if you want to thank him, go to the kitchen to cook a table of dishes yourself.

Jiang Taichang often said that he only eats seven minutes full when he eats, and it seems that he has no interest in eating, so he will send a thousand-year-old ginseng in the future.

As for Manyun, she is a woman who is exquisite, and she will send a box of Ayara jewels to her.

In the small kitchen in the backyard, the second sister-in-law of the mother-in-law Qiu, who was temporarily transferred, was the one who had watched her cook sweet and sour fish, and now seeing that she was not willing to die, she sighed twice in her heart, but she didn't dare to watch anymore, and hurriedly gave up the kitchen as a whole.

She wanted to ask Qiu's second sister-in-law to kill the fish and leave, but the mother-in-law seemed to flee and disappeared without a trace in a blink of an eye.

She rolled up her sleeves and went to the tank to catch fish, but she didn't expect the fat perch to be slippery, and finally caught it, and then ran to the ground and played on the bluestone slab. She went to catch it again, but the fish ran again, so unfortunate and bitter.

Tossing several times, the fish landed several times, and finally fainted, she laughed twice, and was about to disembowel, who knew that the knife just touched the fish scales, the fish woke up, and rolled several times more than before, she was startled and screamed.

Finally pressed the fish on the cutting board, and when she heard the footsteps behind her, she suddenly said, "Auntie! You're finally back. ”

"Who's the eldest aunt?" Shen Muchi's breath fluttered in her ears, her heart jumped, her hands were unsteady, and the fish rushed to their feet again, and she jumped up again and again. But he stood straight, unmoved.

"If you want to eat fish, why do it yourself." He crouched down and picked up the fish, and the knife fell in his hand, and the fish was killed instantly, and he was saved from struggling.

"I want to cook you a meal." Cai Ling is lost.

"Cooking a meal?" His thin lips lifted slightly, and he turned his eyes to look at her.

"To thank you." Cai Ling was still depressed, "I didn't expect that I wouldn't even be able to kill fish in the simplest way." ”

"Who said it's easy to kill fish." Shen Muchi whispered softly, "Do you know what kind of food this king likes to eat?" ”

"Steamed sea bass, jasper tofu, West Lake lotus root slices, three-color soup, Sixi duck, osmanthus crispy ......" she said in one breath.

"Hmm. Not bad. With a smile on his face, he rolled up his sleeves and began to clean the stomach of the fish.

Seeing him cut the fish with a knife, she hurriedly stopped, "The steamed sea bass should be cut in half, and the sweet and sour fish should be cut in half." ”

"It's a lot to know." Shen Muchi grabbed the fish and came to her, "Then tell me what kind of fish this is?" ”

"Perch." If she wants to make steamed sea bass, of course she has to use sea bass, which is really a big question.

"When you go out, don't tell anyone that you are in charge of the largest restaurant in the capital." He threw the fish on the chopping board without looking up, "This is a carp." ”

She was a little embarrassed, but immediately smiled, "In a hurry, I caught the wrong fish." ”

"What are you still doing?" Shen Muchi suddenly nodded at the stove with his head.

Cai Ling smiled awkwardly, "I'm sorry, I won't make a fire." ”

"You!" Shen Muchi couldn't wait to hit her with the fish in his hand, and kept saying that he would make a table of dishes to thank him, but now he can't recognize fish, kill fish, stir-fry vegetables, and even make a fire!

"Your Highness, it seems that I am weak this time, so let's stop it." Cai Ling accompanied the smiling face, and there will naturally be a time to repay him in the future.

It is known that he actually took the flint and the hay and went to the stove and squatted down and made a fire in a decent manner. Cai Ling looked at him almost adoringly, "Your Highness grew up in brocade clothes and jade food, how can you make a fire to cook?" ”

"You think everyone is as stupid as you!" He reprimanded, seeing that she was a little frustrated, "Three years ago, in the battle of Bingzhou, when the enemy soldiers came to the end of the city and our army was at the end of the road, this king even ate the bark of a tree. ”

He wanted to tell her that it was not all smooth sailing, and the days were also ups and downs, but in an instant her mood was even more depressed, "I remember that after the victory in the Battle of Bingzhou, His Highness returned triumphantly, and the chariots and horses had entered the city, and His Majesty personally went out of the palace to catch the wind for His Highness, who would have thought that His Highness was injured by the assassin's cold arrow while sitting on the horse." I watched His Highness fall off his horse, and at that time, His Highness was arrogant, and he was brave on the battlefield but almost died in the villain. Now I know that His Royal Highness killed 1,000 enemies and damaged 800 himself, and at that time he really didn't have the strength to defend against hidden arrows. ”

He was stunned for a moment and threw a handful of firewood into the stove.

She then asked, "Did you catch the Assassin later?" Do you know who commanded him? ”

He got up, "The assassin killed himself after being captured, and the clues are untraceable. I didn't want to tell her the truth: he Shen Muchi was a thorn in Jiang Xiang's eyes and a thorn in his flesh, and Jiang Xiang was always the instigator behind the assassins!

She sighed.

Shen Muchi smiled faintly, holding the spatula, as if holding a sword, looking at her majestically, Cai Ling turned to a smile. Shen Muchi poured oil into the pot, "I'll make your favorite sweet and sour fish today." ”
