Chapter 64: Drink the Medicine
"Except for Princess Zhenning and Miss Li who have written a few letters to you, nothing else."
Baolan held the stack of letters in front of Jinghu, "However, I haven't received a single letter from the eighth lady of the Dingguo Mansion, but the little county lord has a conflict with her?" ”
Since Jing Xun's wedding, Jing Hu inadvertently glimpsed Qing's soft heart, and now at the end of October, they have indeed not had much contact for more than two months.
She didn't know what to do with such a thing, after all, it was the first time. And it's not something that happens to everyone.
She and Qingrou are very good friends, whatever Qingrou wants, as long as she can do it and give it, even if it is her favorite thing, she can give it away.
But Ke Mingxu is not. She couldn't suppress her liking for him, and she couldn't persuade Qingrou to give up, she really didn't know what to do.
Jinghu opened Zhenning's letter first. This time I went to Jianye Palace, and the princess only had Princess Zhenjing to accompany her. Zhen Ning has never been favored much in front of Jinshang, which is also a very normal thing.
The first few letters didn't have much to say, just boring in the temple, so they just talked about everyday things casually.
In the last few letters, there was also a mention of Qingrou, she didn't know what happened between them, she only said that she was not very happy to see Qingrou recently.
At first, I thought that Qingrou was like this because of family matters, but then I gradually realized that every time she mentioned herself to her, she was always reluctant to answer.
Qingrou has always been delicate, and before there was no change in the family, she had been focusing on reading, and then it became like this. Now, the relationship with her is also awkward.
She and Qingrou are like this, after all, she herself is quite a loose temperament, and she can often see Ke Mingxu recently. But Qingrou has to think about things at home on the one hand, and on the other hand, she has to be sad about the loss of friendship and friends, she must be more sad than herself.
Jinghu thought for a while, "Baolan, you help me send a post to the Dingguo Mansion, and say that I will go back to see Miss Eight tomorrow." ”
Sapphire replied "yes" and turned down to look for Cyanosis. Qingqing is the most knowledgeable of the four maids, and she is busy with any personal contacts that Pingsu Jinghu wants to write letters.
Jinghu opened Li Yi's letter again. In addition to some ordinary greetings, the Dingguo Mansion was also mentioned. In the letter, Li Yi said that her third brother is likely to marry Qingrou's sixth sister.
Qingrou's sixth sister is called Xu Murou, and she is the concubine born to the fourth master of their family, and she also has a twin sister. Jinghu has an impression of her, she looks good, she is also quite talented, and she seems to be very good at painting.
However, Li Yi's third brother is a son-in-law, and I heard Li Yi say that he has now also entered the forbidden army in the palace as an errand boy, and he is a commander and acquaintance, which is already a good errand.
Zhongwu Marquis Li Jiahe Yongning County Mansion can't be compared, and his own son and brother are now just a commander in the forbidden army.
This marriage, if it is only about the right family, it is a bit big for the Dingguo Mansion.
Jinghu opened Li Yi's last letter again. The letter said that the news of the marriage between the wife of the Dingguo Mansion and the Dingguo Mansion finally rejected the family affair.
She could almost imagine Li Yi's anger when she wrote the letter, and she wrote several pages freely, all talking about how the sixth lady in the Dingguo Mansion was not.
Jinghu doesn't know what she thinks, Li Yi's third brother, whether it is talent or family background, should be regarded as a good son-in-law for her, why is her vision so high? Or did she already have someone else in mind?
In the future, when the sixth mother of the Xu family gets married, she will have to take a good look at this excitement.
Jinghu finished reading the letter, and Baolan came in with the bowl of medicine, "I didn't have time to ask the little county lord, where did this prescription come from, and what does this medicine do?" ”
Jinghu took it, took a spoon and scooped it, and soon the strong smell of medicine came to her nose, almost stunting her.
She hates drinking pills the most. When she was a child, she was not in good health, and her mother made her hair gray a lot in order to coax her to drink medicine.
Her resistance and fear of her eldest brother also came from this. The mother concubine was gentle, never spoke to her loudly, and when she saw that she was sick, she felt even more pity for her.
But her eldest brother is an iron-faced Yama, and he rarely talks to her softly, let alone when she cries and refuses to drink medicine.
Although Jinghu was still a child at that time, he also knew the times, and as soon as he stood in front of her bed, she would obediently take the medicine bowl and drink it herself.
Compared with asking the nurse to feed the medicine spoonful by spoonful, the long pain is not as good as the short pain, and it is better for her to suffocate it in one bite.
She was like this when she first learned to drink, even if it was a fruit wine for her daughter, it was sweet when she first tasted it, but later it only tasted like wine, so she drank like a medicine at first, but later she got used to the taste, and gradually got better.
Although she wanted to drink this medicine herself, and it was a prescription written for her by Ke Mingxu herself, she still resisted a little for a while.
He replied to Baolan's words, "This prescription was obtained from a famous doctor, and he said that my body is a little weak, so I need to use some medicine to make up for it." ”
In Jinghu's heart, Ke Mingxu is naturally more powerful than the most powerful doctor in the world. It's just that this most powerful doctor, why does the medicine he prescribe still smell so bad.
Baolan asked her again, "The little county lord is willing to drink medicine now." However, the main medication in the small county has been said by the concubine Niangniang on the same side? ”
Of course not, she knows what kind of virtue she is, so she still has to try it first. Besides, she also has one more thing, she doesn't know how to talk to her mother and father.
Since it is a medicine for the body, it is to be taken for a long time, why don't she try to drink it slowly, maybe she can get used to it? Jinghu thought about it, mustered up his courage, scooped up a spoonful of medicine, and brought it to his lips.
As soon as it reached her lips, the pungent smell of medicine surrounded her, and her hand shook and splashed some medicinal juice on her gown. I can't ask for this dress.
Again and again, and then again, Jinghu mustered up his courage, scooped a spoonful and put it in his mouth, swallowed it, and almost didn't spit it out.
It's also too bitter! It's a taste that she can't get used to no matter what.
There was still a big bowl left in front of him, Jinghu couldn't speak, and desperately pointed to the cabinet in the banquet room on the side. Baolan understood what she meant, and hurriedly went over and took out the candied fruit in the cabinet.
The military quartermaster had already arrived at the battlefield, and Jinghu was heartbroken and drank a bowl of medicine in one go. If you don't eat a few candied fruits, you won't even have your tongue as your own.
It seems that she has taken it too much, even if it is the medicine prescribed to her by Ke Mingxu, it is still difficult to drink, and she still doesn't want to drink it. She secretly didn't listen to him and didn't drink this medicine, he wouldn't know, right?
