Chapter 653
After Gu Xuebin was satisfied, she picked up Su Jinyao from the barrel, and she fell asleep on Gu Xuebin's shoulder.
Gu Xuebin tenderly put Su Jinyao on the soft couch, wrapped it in a cloth towel, dried it, and then wrapped her wet hair in a cloth towel, and slowly dried it with a soup woman, and then put Su Jinyao back in the quilt and let her sleep comfortably.
But as soon as he turned his head, Gu Xuebin saw that the water that had been sprinkled on the ground was still wet, and the water in the wooden barrel was also steaming white.
Although he was tired, Gu Xuebin was afraid that if he left it alone, the water vapor on the ground and in the bucket would steam, and the humidity in the bedroom would be too heavy, making Su Jinyao uncomfortable.
He had to smile bitterly, wrapped a robe casually, and carried a wooden bucket to pour out the water, and wiped the water stains on the ground.
This is called self-inflicted, it's really fun when I'm playing, but now it's time to clean up the aftermath, pouring water again and again, and mopping the floor repeatedly, it's really tiring.
After everything was cleaned up, Gu Xuebin moved the brazier and the charcoal stove in the quilt to the outhouse, and then lay on the bed and scooped Su Jinyao into his arms and fell asleep.
I slept deeply and soundly, and after waking up, I was full of relaxation and energy.
Su Jinyao stretched her waist and sat up, and saw that Gu Xuebin was already setting the table.
Su Jinyao sniffed the aroma of rice wafting in the air and asked, "The porridge you cooked?" ”
Gu Xuebin glanced back at Su Jinyao, hooked his lips and smiled, and said, "I also boiled two eggs." I don't know much about cooking, so I can only make do with it. ”
Su Jinyao rubbed her hands and said sweetly: "It's not improvised, the love breakfast is full of sweet tastes, I like it the most." ”
Gu Xuebin put the dishes and chopsticks away, first put a bowl of porridge and sat down on the edge of the bed, and said softly: "Since you like it, eat it first, and I'll feed you." ”
Inability to take care of oneself
Su Jinyao was spoiled and cared for by Gu Xuebin, and now she even has to bring her meals to her mouth, which makes her suddenly feel like "the years are quiet, but I am disabled".
Su Jinyao was about to push away the porcelain spoon that was brought to her mouth, and was about to say that she was still able to take care of herself in her life, when she found that Gu Xuebin's handsome face looked extremely enchanting.
Looking carefully, she found that the reason for Gu Xuebin's enchanting beauty was that he had pink faces, red lips, and a little blur in his eyes.
From the first time Su Jinyao saw Gu Xuebin after crossing over, she knew that this was a real man, glamorous and charming.
But today, it seems that "the jade face is more peach-colored, and the scarlet lips are red in spring", and a glance can make people itch to the tip of their hearts.
Su Jinyao couldn't help but swallow her saliva, and her mouth opened in surprise.
As a result, a mouthful of porridge was sent to her mouth, Su Jinyao had to eat it if she didn't want to, and she couldn't take care of herself in her real life.
Gu Xuebin saw that Su Jinyao had been staring at him, put the spoon in the bowl, and wiped it on his cheek casually, probably thinking that he had something on his face.
But as the back of his hand brushed his cheeks and his fingertips gently swept over the smooth skin, Su Jinyao swallowed his saliva even more. Shaking his head, he said, "No, don't eat, I'm full." ”
Gu Xuebin was slightly stunned according to his face, and then raised his increasingly confused eyes to look at Su Jinyao, smiled slightly, and said, "Jinyao, you eat yourself first, I'll wash my face." ”
"It's not dirty, your face is not dirty." As Su Jinyao was talking, Gu Xuebin had already put the white porcelain bowl on the edge of the bed, got up and went to the basin stand, bowed his head and splashed vigorously in the basin.
Su Jinyao looked at Gu Xuebin, who was tossing in the basin like a water duck fishing, and thought that he was embarrassed by himself, so he pursed his lips and smiled, and picked up the bowl and ate the rest of the porridge.
Gu Xuebin washed his face and came back, his face was more normal, not so red.
He took the empty bowl in Su Jinyao's hand, then took the clothes and put them on the side of the bed, put down the bed net, and let her dress herself.
Su Jinyao quickly dressed and came out, and saw that Gu Xuebin was already sitting at the table and eating breakfast.
"Che, I'll help you stir-fry a side dish. I only eat white porridge, and there is no taste in my mouth. Su Jinyao said and rolled up her sleeves to go to the kitchen.
Gu Xuebin hurriedly stopped her and said, "Jinyao, no need." I just want to eat something light. It's about to be the New Year, big fish and meat are indispensable, eat some light first, so as not to get too greasy. ”
Su Jinyao also made sense when she heard it, so she stopped and turned back.
Gu Xuebin took a boiled egg in the bowl, carefully peeled the eggshell, stuffed the egg into Su Jinyao's hand, and said, "Eat, eating an egg is nutritious." ”
When Su Jinyao took the egg, she felt that Gu Xuebin's hand was a little hot. But thinking that maybe the egg was still hot, I didn't think much about it.
Gu Xuebin also peeled an egg to eat, and asked Su Jinyao, "Where will you go in a while?" Let's go to Ma Liu's place first, or go to the Red Sleeve Workshop? Or, let's go buy New Year's goods? ”
Su Jinyao tilted her head and thought for a while, and said, "Didn't you say that you have already bought the New Year's goods?" We'll see what's missing in a moment, and then we'll make a list and buy it. Buy some more gifts to see the two old men of the Ma family, and then go to the Red Sleeve Workshop. ”
Speaking of this, Su Jinyao squeezed her eyes and smiled, and said to Gu Xuebin
"I guess after we turned around this circle, it was almost late afternoon when we arrived at the Red Sleeves Workshop. It's time for the Red Sleeves Workshop to open, so that you can see how gorgeous and beautiful the red girls of our Red Sleeves Workshop are. ”
Gu Xuebin knew that Su Jinyao was deliberately teasing him, and he was about to knock Su Jinyao with a chestnut when he reached out. But when the finger was about to fall on Su Jinyao's forehead, it stopped, and then quickly withdrew his hand.
Su Jinyao crooked her head and smiled very proudly, and said lazily: "Why don't you play it?" I'll kiss you, hurry up. ”
Gu Xuebin pursed his lips and said with a straight face: "I am reluctant, and I won't give you a kiss." ”
Su Jinyao smiled and came over and threw herself on Gu Xuebin's body, the more he refused to kiss her, the more she wanted to kiss her.
Gu Xuebin hurriedly pressed Su Jinyao's arms, pushed her to sit on the chair, and said, "Okay, you weren't tired last night, were you?" If you continue to make a fuss like this, I promise you won't be able to go out when it's dark. ”
Su Jinyao stuck out her tongue when she heard this, and expressed her belief in Gu Xuebin's divine skills, so she sat obediently and didn't dare to make a mistake.
Gu Xuebin smiled, reached out and touched Su Jinyao's hair, then cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and prepared to go out with Su Jinyao.
Su Jinyao went to the main hall, and saw that there were a lot of New Year's goods on the table and on the ground.
From flower cloth, ribbon to bacon, rice cakes, as well as couplets and firecrackers, anyway, as long as they are used for the New Year, they are all bought and put away, and they are piled up in two large piles.
Su Jinyao picked this up and took a look, she bought everything she thought of and couldn't think of, she really couldn't think of anything else she should buy.
Gu Xuebin cleaned up the kitchen and came over, and saw Su Jinyao carrying a small fish lantern in a daze. He walked over and asked, "Jinyao, do you know what's missing?" ”
"Nothing is missing. Ma Liuge was really thoughtful, and even bought incense candles for firecrackers. Su Jinyao pointed to those New Year's goods and said, "The more this is the case, the more I don't know what gifts to buy to see them." ”
Gu Xuebin also glanced at the pile of New Year's goods a few times, and then said, "It's quite complete." But that's what people want, not ours. You just want to see what the elderly should bring, and we can buy a few things for a thought. ”
Su Jinyao nodded and said, "There are still some children's things to buy, and I haven't hugged the baby of Brother Ma Liu's family yet." ”
Gu Xuebin smiled and said, "Then let's go." Don't be late, we'll be delayed to go to the Red Sleeves to see the girl. ”
"Flim tongue, you should be beaten." Su Jinyao glared at Gu Xuebin, and knew that he was deliberately ambitious about what he said when he was eating.
When she went out, Su Jinyao wanted to hold Gu Xuebin's hand. But Gu Xuebin turned out a hand warmer out of nowhere, and stuffed a pair of small hands for Su Jinyao into it.
"It's so cumbersome, my hands are actually not afraid of cold." Su Jinyao's hand was copied in the hand warmer, and her fingers were twisted together to feel hot, but she still wanted to take Gu Xuebin's hand to go shopping.
Gu Xuebin shook his head and said with a straight face: "Didn't your fingers hurt when you played with snow yesterday?" I can't freeze anymore today, no matter what. Even if it's not cold, take it with you. ”
Su Jinyao flattened her mouth, so she had to be obedient.
In fact, sometimes, when Gu Xuebin taught Su Jinyao with a straight face, she could feel a different kind of care, which could warm her heart.
Deer blood as medicine
Unsure of what to buy for a while, Su Jinyao took Gu Xuebin to the most lively street in Anji City. I'm going to buy it if it's good, and it's not bad for money.
After walking two streets, Gu Xuebin's footsteps paused, turned his head to look at a teahouse, and said, "Jinyao, go and sit on it, eat some tea, and quench your thirst." ”
"You've only been shopping for a while, are you thirsty?" Su Jinyao pouted, a little unsatisfied.
Probably women are inherently invincible when shopping, and no matter how high a man's martial arts and light skills are, they can't resist a woman's will to wander on the street.
Gu Xuebin pursed his lips and smiled, shook his head slightly, and said, "I'm not tired." I'm afraid that your foot injury will happen again. What's more, it's cold, drink some hot tea to warm up before leaving. ”
Su Jinyao thought about it and seemed to make sense, so she said, "It's okay, it just so happens that breakfast is relatively monotonous, let's have some snacks here as morning tea." ”
The two walked into the teahouse and chose a window seat to sit down. I asked for a pot of Jin Junmei, and a few plates of candied fruit and two pastries, and ate them slowly.
Su Jinyao found out that Gu Xuebin proposed to come here to eat tea, but he really only drank tea all the time, and never ate pastries and candied fruit.
Su Jinyao picked up a piece of millet cake and handed it over, and asked, "Che, you didn't eat much for breakfast, why don't you eat more?" ”
Gu Xuebin took it, took a bite but frowned, and said, "The taste is too ordinary, I don't want to eat it much." It may also be that I didn't sleep well last night and my throat is always dry and itchy, so I want to drink more water. ”
As soon as Su Jinyao heard Gu Xuebin mention last night, she glared at him and stopped talking.
If he hadn't been tossing hard in the bathtub, how could he have slept well?
Gu Xuebin covered his mouth with the back of his hand, laughed softly twice, and then lowered his head to drink tea again. After two times of water, the tea had no taste, and Gu Xuebin and Su Jinyao got up and left the teahouse.
As soon as Su Jinyao looked up, she saw the sign of Anhetang in front of her, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she said, "Yes, I know what to send." ”
"Medicine?" Gu Xuebin also followed Su Jinyao's eyes, and said with a smile: "It's not good to send medicine for the New Year." ”
"It's not medicine, it's supplements. I, a disciple of a divine doctor, of course, are hard to find. It's best to send some supplements to the two old people, and send the elixir for the New Year, so that the two of them can prolong their lives. After Su Jinyao finished speaking, she went to Lagu Xuebin's hand, planning to take him to Anhetang together.
Although Gu Xuebin also stretched out his hand, he seemed to have inadvertently shook his sleeves, the cuffs just covered the palms of his hands, and they were holding Su Jinyao's hand through a piece of sleeve.
Su Jinyao only felt that Gu Xuebin's big hand was warm and dry, and there was a thin layer of calluses on his fingertips, and she didn't care that his palms were blocked by his sleeves, so she took his hand and entered Anhetang together.
The shopkeeper of Anhetang was not replaced, and he was stunned for a moment when he saw Su Jinyao enter the door, and then quickly got up and left his seat, came out of the counter to greet him, and said, "Miss Liu, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
"Good shopkeeper, I'm here today to ask for a few treasures from your Anhetang." Su Jinyao walked to a table with a smile, picked up a pen and wrote a prescription on a paper stick, and then handed it over and said, "Trouble the shopkeeper, make me six pills according to this recipe." Three hours should be about the same, right? ”
The shopkeeper took the prescription and looked at it, frowned and said, "Miss Liu, this is made of medicinal materials into potions, and then made into ointments.
In the end, it will take two days to make a pill. You only give me three hours, which is difficult for even immortals to do. ”
Su Jinyao pursed her lips and smiled, shook her fingers and said, "Is the shopkeeper going to see me, or is he timid?" If this medicine is boiled with deer blood, let alone three hours, it can be condensed into ointment without using it for two hours, right? Add excipients and knead into pills, three hours is enough. ”
"Deer blood!" The shopkeeper swallowed his saliva and said, "Miss Liu is really good at laughing, we are here near the mountains, and it is very easy to collect deer antler velvet and deer blood, but I have never heard that using deer blood to boil medicine can be directly made into ointment and pills." ”
Su Jinyao took out two silver tickets and put them on the counter, and said, "When I was in the capital, your host, Mr. Cheng, told me that he got a bottle of stag essence blood, which is very precious." You use this bottle of deer blood to boil medicine for me, and the silver is here, and you will not suffer from Anhetang. As for this favor, I'll go back and find Mr. Cheng to talk about it in person. ”
Mr. Cheng has not returned since he entered the capital, and now he is the royal doctor of the palace.
In the future, it is not certain that Mr. Cheng will not return to this Anhetang, after all, people go to high places.
However, since Mr. Cheng told Su Jinyao about the matter of deer blood, he didn't plan to hide his secrets, so Su Jinyao made up his mind to buy it.
The shopkeeper couldn't hide it, so he had to take the silver ticket, and when he saw the number on it, he was relieved.
In fact, with the relationship between Su Jinyao and Mr. Cheng, as well as Su Jinyao's identity as the big boss in Anji City, it is not a problem to buy and sell a bottle of deer blood.
But she gave a fair price, and it was a lot more. Although the shopkeeper only helps the owner to look after the store, he takes over this non-loss-making business and helps the store make money, which is a win-win business.
Therefore, the shopkeeper immediately called a man and taught him the recipe, so that he must be personally involved in everything from medicine to medicine, and he must not fake the hands of others at all, and must do it carefully.
When Su Jinyao saw the guy, she smiled and said, "It's still the same little brother." He does things very safely, and I am most assured. ”
When the guy saw that it was Su Jinyao, he also warmly saluted and greeted Su Jinyao. Then I took the prescription and went down.
The shopkeeper said, "Then Miss Liu is waiting here, or will she go out for a stroll again?" If you wait, please go to the back hall, we are not outsiders. ”
Su Jinyao shook her head with a smile and said, "Don't wait, I'll go around again, I still have some things to buy." If the pills are made in advance, please find me two excellent boxes to put them in, and I will give them away. ”
The shopkeeper nodded again and again, and said, "That's it, such a precious pill, I'm afraid only the elixir can compare to it." The box containing the medicine is also exquisite, and the villain wrote it down to ensure that Miss Liu is satisfied. ”
Su Jinyao said "thank you" again, and then pulled Gu Xuebin away.
This time, Gu Xuebin still covered his palms with his sleeves, and after walking for a while, he stuffed the hand warmer to Su Jinyao again, asking her to copy a pair of small hands together, saying that it was even warmer.
Su Jinyao wrinkled her nose and snorted, and said, "Why, even holding hands has to be pushed?" Or is there a girl you like on this street, are you afraid that she will be jealous? ”
"Nonsense." Gu Xuebin hugged Su Jinyao's slender waist and said, "Let's see what to buy again." There are still three hours to go. ”
Gu Xuebin of the Red Sleeve Workshop sat alone
It was too luxurious to spend three hours shopping, so after shopping for a while, Su Jinyao also felt bored, so she planned to go to the Red Sleeve Shop to see Miss Ming and them first, and then come back to get medicine and go to Ma Liu's house.
At this time, it was almost noon, and it was the time when Su Jinyao used to come before. She simply took Gu Xuebin from the back door to the back door, and greeted when she entered the courtyard: "Are the girls all up?" ”
Miss Ming has been up early since she became a grandmother here, and when she heard Su Jinyao's voice, she came down from upstairs.
As soon as he saw that Su Jinyao was still followed by a beautiful son, he smiled and said, "Why is the fragrant wind blowing you two here today?" ”
Su Jinyao pushed Gu Xuebin forward and said, "My husband came here for recreation, Sister Ming quickly called out all the girls with red cards, and I will charter the venue today." ”
Gu Xuebin knew that Su Jinyao was joking, but he also sank his face and said nothing, he didn't want to make trouble with her.
Miss Ming smiled and came over to play the round, and said, "Okay, okay, even if you are not jealous, my girl here will not dare to take this job." Let's ask if there is a more delicate and delicate girl in this Anji City than Jinyao. ”
