Chapter 16: Sickness
On the osmanthus tree in Shu Ruo's small courtyard, Leng Han sat on the trunk of the tree and looked at Shu Ruo sitting on the bed through the window. Dark One has followed Shu Ruo these days, but he has not made much progress, except for knowing that her name is Shu Ruo, he knows nothing else. Shu Ruo's life is also simple, setting up a stall, Xishu Hutong Courtyard, now he doesn't set up a stall every day in the Xishu Hutong Courtyard to paint a portrait, and occasionally goes to Juxianglou to eat. In today's words, a full otaku, a otaku among otaku. Leng Han withdrew the dark pair of Shu Ruo's monitoring.
Tonight, for some reason, I came to Shu Ruo's courtyard. Through the window, Shu Ruo sat on the bed and counted the money. A smiling and bent eyebrow portrait, three points of philistine, five points of stupidity, and the remaining two points of greed, but it made him feel a little cute and fascinated.
Shu Ruo, who was concentrating on counting the silver, didn't know that she was seen stupidly counting the silver.
That's a lot of silver, I'll just say, I'm a modern person, and it's not easy to mix in ancient times. More than 1,500 taels of silver, a lot of money. I can earn enough money to buy this yard in a month, don't be too happy! It turns out that no matter where you are, it is a woman who makes money easily. Well, I admit that I got the light of the masked prince.
Having said that, after seeing each other these two times, I actually felt that he was not so annoying. Shu Ruo shook his head, what am I doing, how can I think of him. Hurry up and go to bed.
The lights went out for a while before Leng Han left.
Thinking about working hard to earn more money, Shu Ruo, although the tenth princess and Leng Yan occasionally came to help, she was still too busy. Except for the time to eat and sleep, it is all used for drawing. How can this be done? Isn't that a sickness?
When she got up in the morning, Shu Ruo felt a little uncomfortable and dizzy, but she thought that she didn't sleep well last night and didn't take it seriously. As a result, while painting the portrait, he fell to the ground and fainted.
"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Frightened, Xi'er hurriedly ran over to check, but Shu Ruo didn't feel it at all. The anxious Xi'er six gods have no owner, but fortunately, there are several portraits of the young lady's nurse who helped carry the person into the room and lie down.
Shu Ruo's dizziness also frightened the girls waiting all over the yard, and the whole yard was also noisy. Xi'er is still clever, and I don't pay you compensation, please go back first, the painter is sick, and then I will continue to paint for everyone.
After sending the girls away, Xi'er hurriedly went to the doctor.
"Doctor, what's wrong with my sister? Is it serious? Xi'er asked anxiously.
The doctor said to Xi'er while writing the prescription, "Your girl is fine, but she is overworked and lacking in health." Just rest for a few days, drink some decoction, and remember not to overexert yourself afterwards. You can use my prescription to grab the medicine! ”
Xi'er hesitated for a moment, thought about it, and took out five taels of silver to the doctor, "Doctor, please do something." ”
The doctor looked at the silver and shirked, "I'll just accept the medical fee, girl, what do you say, see if the old man can help you?" ”
Xi'er didn't get the money back, "Doctor, please help keep my sister a girl, our two sisters depend on each other, my sister is afraid that we will be bullied, and she has been dressed as a man in order to make money." Everyone knows that there is a Shu painter in Xishu Hutong, but they don't know that Shu is a woman, and they ask the doctor to help. ”
Hearing this, the doctor looked at the worry on Xi'er's face, these two girls were not easy, and thought that if he didn't accept the silver, he was afraid that the little girl would not be at ease, so he accepted the silver, "Don't worry, the old man will not say much." After that, if your sister is still uncomfortable and comes back to me, I will take my leave. ”
"Thank you, doctor, I'll send you."
Shu Ruo, who fell asleep, didn't know that the little sister she took in was still a cautious person. Otherwise, she would have laughed happily that she had found a treasure.
Shu Ruo was sick, so naturally he didn't go to the Four Kings' Mansion to send paintings. Siwangfu, who didn't go out today, had nothing to do today, so he ordered the kitchen to cook a lot of dishes that Shu Ruo liked to eat, thinking that when she came to deliver the paintings, she would find a way to leave her down for dinner.
Waiting left and right, looking at the cold outside, it was dark, and I didn't see Shu Ruolai to deliver the painting. Isn't it too busy today? Sometimes she's busy and calls her little sister to come over and deliver paintings, what's wrong today? It's not because I feel that after a long time, I am angry and slack. No, he believed she wouldn't. Somehow, Leng Han felt a little uneasy.
Finally, I couldn't sit still anymore and walked towards Xishu Hutong. Leng Han wanted to go directly over the wall to take a look, but after thinking about it, he decided to knock on the door.
Hearing the knock on the door, Xi'er opened the door with some caution. "Lord Wang?"
"What about Shu Ruo? I didn't go to send a painting today, but this king came to take a look! He said and walked inside.
Oh no, my sister is sick today, I forgot about it, Xi'er was scared and trotted forward and knelt in front of Leng Han. "The prince forgives the sin, my sister is sick today, so I didn't go to the palace to send paintings, beg the prince not to put Xi'er in prison, Xi'er is worried about her sister's beauty to take care of her, and beg the prince to wait for her sister to get better, and then it's not too late to close Xi'er......"
She was sick, and when Leng Han heard that Shu Ruo was sick, she hurriedly walked to her house, and she didn't pay attention to what Xi'er said later. Xi'er was still stupidly kneeling with her head down.
Shu Ruo was very sick and had been in a coma. Leng Han looked at the little girl who always had shining-eyed eyes and a shining look, and at this time her face was pale and sickly lying on the bed. sat on the edge of Shu Ruo's bed, reached out and touched her forehead, it was not hot. What's wrong with her? Turning around, I saw that Xi'er hadn't followed and was still kneeling outside. wanted to call Xi'er over, but was worried about waking Shu Ruo, so he walked out.
"Get up!"
"Thank you, Lord Wang." Xi'er is still a little worried.
"What's wrong with your sister? Has the doctor come to see it? ”
Xi'er didn't dare to look at Leng Han, and she didn't know what the fourth prince meant, "The doctor has come to see it, and said that it is no big deal, but it is just a little overworked, and it is good to rest for a few days." ”
Overworked, the portrait is painted to overwork, how short of silver she is, look at her a lot of income these days. I can also make myself tired and sick. Leng Han actually felt a little helpless.
Seeing that Leng Han didn't react for a long time, he didn't dare to move, he stood obediently and stupidly, what should he do to be afraid of the prince.
Leng Han instructed, "Let her rest well these days, and she doesn't have to go to the palace to send paintings, when she is sick, when she will send it again, take good care of her." With that, he left.
Xi'er looked at the cold back, a little frightened, and a little cute, the fourth prince really came just now? Then without blaming me, it was just gone.
The next day, Shu Ruo woke up, Xi'er complained for a while, Shu Ruo was scared of herself, and told her how to deal with the things that followed her after she fainted. also told her that Leng Han had come to see her, and told her to get better and send the painting again.
"Sister, don't you know that when I saw the fourth prince coming, I was scared to death, and I thought I was going to go to prison!" Xi'er was still afraid.
"Don't worry, my sister won't let you go to prison." This masked prince is not so stingy. If you get well and send a painting, it's not like you can rest for a few days. What to do, a little happy to say, there is no material to draw.
"Well, I know my sister is the best for me, but sister, you can't scare me like this in the future." Xi'er was still afraid.
"Don't worry, it's an accident this time." Blame yourself for being too anxious.
"I don't care, you have to listen to me these days, the doctor said you have to rest for a few days."
"Okay, well, listen to Xi'er." Shu Ruo said with a smile. It's really good to have someone by your side, if you didn't take in Xi'er at the beginning, if you were alone, this time you fell ill, it is estimated that it will be a little miserable, is this a good person with a good reward? Shu Ruo thought so.
The feeling of being sick is not good at all, and Xi'er's housekeeper said that she would not let Shu Ruo go to the ground, and she had to lie down. said that it frightened her, and Shu Ruo himself felt frightened. Looking back on these days, I seem to have worked too hard. In order to gain a foothold in this place as soon as possible, I used to paint the portrait of Xiao Jiu in a hurry day and night, and recently I relied on the emperor's list, and the momentum was good, and I was afraid that I would miss this opportunity, and I didn't have much rest. Nor is it the way to go. You have to combine work and rest. After that, you should pay attention to what other ways to make money in total.
Leng Han has not appeared in the Xishu Hutong courtyard since he left the Xishu Hutong courtyard that day. But in the dead of night, on the osmanthus tree in the small courtyard of Xishu Hutong, there is always such a person, who will stay on it for a while before leaving.
