Chapter 8: Fainting from heat stroke
The courtyard is deep and clear, and the pomegranates are open all over the curtain.
The trees are full of shade, and the sun is noon, and there is a sound when I dream of a warbler.
"Apricots." Su Yi saw that the candlelight in the room was bright, and she pushed the door and called, but when she closed the door, she saw that there was nothing in the room, Fang sighed and walked to the bed, and lay down on her back. Thinking of Fang Cai, her face as white as snow was dyed with a red glow, God was still kind to her, she had a hard day, and her heart was depressed and dull, but she didn't want to meet him when she walked. Thinking of him, a light smile couldn't help but hook up on his lips, and in a moment, he fell asleep.
When Xing'er came back, she saw a beautiful scene lying on the couch, seeing her sleeping quietly and beautifully, she couldn't help but show a smile, picked up a thin sheet and put it on her, how long has it been since she has seen her sleeping like this? She is so beautiful, so good, why did God let her suffer so much?
"Suyi, why did you get up so early?" Xing'er asked as she rubbed her sleepy eyes.
The night was blue, dotted with a few stars, Su Yi lit a candle, twisted the cotton thread in the bright light, heard the voice of the apricot, smiled apologetically, and said, "Did I disturb you?" I'm really sorry, you go back to sleep, the hour hasn't come yet. ”
Xing'er got up and walked to Su Yi's side, saw Su Yi rubbing a few strands of cotton thread together, and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”
Su Yi said: "I used a needle to pick the heart of lotus seeds yesterday, but my hands are not skilled, and it is inconvenient to use, so I thought of using cotton thread to pick the heart of lotus seeds." But we use all thin wires, and we need to synthesize a few strands to make it. ”
"But the cotton thread is too soft, will it be easy to use?"
"Soak it in this candle tears, it will be hard when it gets cold." Suyi explained.
"Oh." Xing'er said in a low voice, but suddenly found that Su Yi's index finger was red, which was clearly pricked by needles, and her white and tender palms were also full of red, so she suddenly understood the reason why she used cotton thread, and she couldn't help but feel a little sad, but she didn't know how to say it. only looked at Su Yi distressedly.
Su Yi made the thread, saw Xing'er looking at herself in a daze, hooked her lips and smiled, and said, "What are you thinking?" Without waiting for Xing'er to answer, she said, "You can sleep for a while, I'll go to the imperial dining room first." ”
Xing'er saw that it was not yet light, so she grabbed her and said, "Why did you go so early?" ”
"Father-in-law Wei explained my work today yesterday, if I don't go now, I'm afraid I won't be able to finish it late at night." Su Yi smiled bitterly.
Xing'er's lips twitched, but she didn't say anything after all, and let go of Su Yi.
Qin Han handed over the recipe he had prepared to each blister, but saw that Su Yi was still scrubbing mung beans in the yard, a bowl of porridge was being placed on the stool next to her, the hour had passed, but she hadn't even used breakfast, the scorching sun was on her head, I saw her sweating, a white little face was red by the heat, I couldn't help but be a little touched, clenched her fists, pulled a husband who passed by her, and ordered: "You go and wash those mung beans and let Su Yi go to eat." ”
The husband agreed, Qin Han looked at it from a distance, and saw that when the husband went to replace Su Yi, Su Yi was not allowed at first, and then he was grateful to pick up a bowl of porridge on the stool, but his hands were trembling, Qin Han looked at her in surprise, she took the bowl with one hand, took the spoon with the other, and carefully scooped a spoonful of porridge before it reached her mouth, the hand holding the bowl seemed to have lost its strength suddenly, and the bowl of porridge fell straight down, and the bowl of porridge splashed everywhere, and she suddenly took a step back, she opened a pair of big eyes and looked at the fragments on the ground in shock, Frightened and timid, Qin Han saw her sad face, so he stepped forward and took a step, he wanted to comfort her by her side, but he stopped at the threshold, only to see Su Yi slowly squatting down, picking up the broken bowl on the ground, a crystal clear teardrop fell down, smashed into the broken mouth of the bowl, divided into two, she gently picked up the fragments on the ground, and was cut by the fragments on her hand, and the blood seeped out when she landed, but she didn't seem to know, she only picked up the fragments on the ground one by one and put them in her hands, Qin Han saw her like this, The bright red blood and the white porcelain bowl were shocking, and he couldn't help but walk straight to her, snatched the pieces from her hand and threw them aside, held her hand, pulled out her handkerchief from under her ribs and wrapped it for her, he moved quickly, Su Yi was stunned again, until he wrapped the handkerchief in his hand, he came back to his senses, looked up at him, was stunned, and said, "How could it be you?" ”
Qin Han wondered in his heart, he saw that her eyes were confused, her expression was erratic, I don't know why she asked like this, and was about to answer but saw her body falling backwards weakly, Qin Han was shocked, and quickly caught her body, but seeing that her face was flushed, her lips were white, and she had already fainted, so he picked her up immediately.
"Suyi, are you awake? That's great! Xing'er saw Su Yi's long eyelashes trembling slightly, and exclaimed.
Su Yi barely opened her eyes, but she felt weak, as if she had a serious illness, and when she saw the surprise on Xing'er's face, she wanted to ask her, but when she opened her mouth, she felt that her mouth was dry and her throat was sore, and she murmured in a low voice: "Water ......"
Apricot immediately said, "Do you want to drink water?" I'm going to get water. After speaking, she brought a glass of water from the table, brought it to Su Yi's lips, she put her arm around Su Yi with one hand, let Su Yi stand up, and fed her water with the other.
Su Yi drank a glass of water, the burning sensation in her throat went down, and said softly, "What's wrong with me?" ”
"Fool, you're fainting from hunger." Apricot snorted.
"Huh?" Su Yi frowned, not understanding for a while.
"You didn't eat yesterday, you didn't eat this morning, the weather is hot, and your body is so weak, why don't you know to take care of yourself?" Xing'er counted down, Su Yi listened to her count herself, but her tone was full of concern, and she couldn't help but feel warm in her heart, and said softly: "Yesterday's time is about to pass, the work in my hand is done, I am tired and sore, where is I still in the mood to eat?" I haven't finished my work this morning, you know, Wei Gonggong is not allowed to eat until the work is finished. ”
"But in such a hot weather, how can your body stand it without eating? That Wei Lianghong should be cut with a thousand cuts! Your physique is already weak, why does he toss you like this? You've been doing so much work these days, and if you don't eat, how can you survive? You look like this, I'm afraid that by the time Gu Gongzi comes to save you, your body will already collapse. Apricot continued.
Su Yi smiled weakly, yes, if she didn't take good care of herself, how would she survive until that day?
Xing'er took her hand, only to see that her palms were red, grinding several blisters, and some places had broken skin, so she stroked her palms distressedly and said, "Why did your hands become like this?" ”
Su Yi pursed her lips and said nothing, but Xing'er understood very well in her heart, how could she stand her delicate hands when she scrubbed the beans every day?
took a small green flower porcelain vase, smeared some ointment on Su Yi's palm, and said: "This is left by Qin Han, saying that the effect is good, I will apply some to you." ”
"Blister?" Su Yi asked.
"Well, he sent you back, he said that you were caused by heat stroke, just rest for a while and eat something." Apricot replied.
"I passed out in the dining room?" Su Yi muttered, incredulous for a moment.
"yes. Or did the blister take you back, you didn't see his nervous appearance, I looked at the blister and maybe it was interesting to you. Apricot laughed.
Su Yi frowned and glanced at Xing'er, who stuck out her tongue and smiled playfully: "I'll tell you about it, since you're awake, let's get up and eat something." ”
Su Yi sat up straight, walked to the table, just picked up the bowl but put it down, frowned, and said, "How long have I been asleep?" What will I do with the work in my hands when I come back? I still don't eat it, so it's important to go back to work quickly, lest Grandpa Wei know and blame me. ”
After saying that, she got up and was about to go out, but Xing'er pressed her on the stool and said, "You don't care if you don't live or not, your body matters!" ”
"But Grandpa Wei...... If he punishes me, I will admit it, but if it is a blister......" Su Yi was still a little worried.
"Don't worry about others, Qin Han is a blister, Wei Lianghong is still pointing at him to stammer, it is impossible to punish him, as for the work in your hands, Qin Han has already handed it over to others to do, you just have to rest today." Apricot said.
Su Yi picked up the porridge on the table and ate it, she had been hungry for two days, and her stomach was already empty.
But I saw Xing'er take out a fruit plate from behind the curtain, put it in front of Su Yi, and said with a smile: "This is for you, a good thing to replenish your strength in summer, you can eat some!" ”
Su Yi saw that there were all kinds of fruits in the fruit bowl, and there were grapes she liked to eat, and she couldn't help but be happy, she didn't seem to have eaten so many fruits since she entered the palace, and this verdant grape was even more rare, she reached out and pinched one and put it in her mouth, and gently bit it down, the sweet and sour juice overflowed her mouth, teasing her taste buds, bringing a cold and refreshing feeling.
Su Yi was in a good mood when she ate, and only then did she worry and be depressed, and then asked, "You said this was given by the blister chief?" ”
"Well, he said that you haven't eaten for two days, and some of the fruits on this plate are not good for eating on an empty stomach, and he also said that you must eat after eating." Xing'er took a lychee and peeled it in her hand, and then handed it to Su Yi's lips, Su Yi saw that she was going to feed herself, hooked her lips and smiled, opened her mouth to bite it, and took a strawberry and put it in Xing'er's mouth.
"Then I must thank you tomorrow." Su Yi whispered.
"That's not necessary, the dishes you cooked for him last time actually solved his urgent need, he helped you today because you helped him before, and now you don't owe each other, wouldn't it be better?" Apricot said with a strawberry in her mouth and slurred her words.
"Well, but thank him anyway, he helped me a lot today." Su Yi nodded and said, "And this fruit bowl, the melon and fruit minions don't have a share to eat in the summer, even if they want to eat it, they can only eat some leftover rotten, but this fruit is fresh and juicy, and it must be quite painstaking for the long." ”
"You have a heart, whatever you want. But Su Yi, I must ask the fifth elder brother for help in your business, if you don't agree, then I will go to Gu Gongzi. Xing'er said in a firm tone, and there was no room for turning between the lines.
Su Yi knew that she was helping herself, so she complained in addition to gratitude, and said in a low voice: "I'm afraid that the fifth elder brother can't take care of this harem matter." ”
Xing'er raised her eyebrows and said, "That's not necessarily!" ”
Su Yi sighed and said nothing more.
