"No, I can't. It's not that easy. Su Jinyao smiled and said, "I'm going back, you either wait here for someone to come, or jump into the water and swim back." If you really can't swim, after jumping into the water, remember to hold on to the side of the boat and float back to shore with buoyancy. ”

After speaking, Su Jinyao waved her hand to Gu Shangqing again and walked ashore completely.

Even though the cold wind was cold and blew on her wet clothes, this cold was not a problem for Su Jinyao, who could soak in ice water for several hours in the cold winter to carry out a hidden assassination mission.

"Jinyao, don't make trouble, you shouldn't be like this (xìng)." Gu Shangqing shouted again. Then he tried to use his hands instead of the oars, and began to paddle vigorously in the water.

Su Jinyao shouted with a smile: "Then what do you think I should be?" And I forgot to tell you that the planks are slightly leaking, and they shouldn't last half an hour. You'll either be paddling while you're scooping the water and see if your hands can replace the oars. Either you simply jump into the water, then split the boat into several pieces, hold on to a piece of the board and paddle back with buoyancy. ”

After speaking, Su Jinyao wrung the water on her clothes, turned (shēn) and trotted away.

Her original intention was to teach Gu Shangqing a lesson and tell him that she could not be arranged at will.

If such a river gave him a boat, he would be able to drown Gu Shangqing...... That only proves that he has learned martial arts in vain, and it is a miracle that he can live to this age.

What's more, Su Jinyao felt that the eldest son of the Gu family had to face more than just such a little storm.

Even if Gu Shangqing seems to be idle now, he can follow him (xìng) for a month or two.

But once he was ready to return to the Gu family, when the burden of the Gu family was completely on him (shēn), facing the turbulent waves of the imperial court would definitely be much more serious than what he was going to experience now.

Su Jinyao ran back to the inn in one go, and Xiuning was startled when she saw Su Jinyao like this.

I just heard Su Jinyao ask the guy about the direction of the river, but she never expected that Su Jinyao would go to the river to soak in the water and come back.

"Master, what are you...... Quick, come into the house, I'll give you a boiled bath to ward off the cold. Xiuning said as she pulled Su Jinyao into the house, picked up the quilt on the (chuáng) and wrapped Su Jinyao.

Su Jinyao smiled and said, "It's okay, I can still stand this little cold water." I'll tell you a prescription, you tell Dongzi to grab the medicine. After the medicine was brought back, it was divided into two parts, one for decoction of water instead of tea, and one for bath water, and I soaked it. ”

Xiu Ning agreed, and hurriedly spread out a piece of paper on the table, waiting for Su Jinyao to dictate a prescription.

After writing it, he also showed the prescription to Su Jinyao, for fear that the names of some medicines were different in the same phonetic character, and if it was written wrong, it would be 108,000 miles away.

After Su Jinyao saw it, she said, "That's right, let's go quickly." ”

Xiuning hurriedly called Dongzi to grab the medicine, and then went to tell the men to boil the cauldron and prepare more (rè) water.

When I came back, I saw that Su Jinyao had already taken off her wet clothes, the quilt that had been wrapped in (shēn) before was wet and thrown aside, and Su Jinyao (shēn) was only wearing a cotton robe, which should be empty.

Xiuning hurriedly closed the door, added two pieces of charcoal to the charcoal brazier, burned the house even more, and asked anxiously, "Master, what's the matter?" Which one bullied you? It's not going to catch fish, is it? ”

"Hehe, I'm really going to catch fish. But I didn't catch it, and the river was about to freeze. After Su Jinyao finished speaking, she breathed a sigh of relief, she really felt that the cold air came up at this time, and it was a little difficult to resist.

Of course, Xiuning didn't believe Su Jinyao's statement that she went to catch fish, but she also knew that Su Jinyao didn't know that she didn't want to tell her, so she had to pour another glass of water (rè) and stuff it into Su Jinyao's hand. Then run out and urge the guys to hurry up and boil the water.

Finally, the water was boiled, a large wooden bucket was placed in the house, and Dongzi returned with the medicine bag.

Xiuning hurriedly divided half of the medicine out, washed it with cold water, put it in a wooden barrel, and began to pour water into it. The other half of the medicine was handed over to Dongzi and asked him to hurry up and decoct the medicine.

Su Jinyao saw Xiu Ning's busy appearance, so she smiled and said, "It's okay, don't worry, your master is not so angry." This little cold can still stand it. ”

Xiu Ning glared back at Su Jinyao and said, "Master, the girl's (shēn) son can't stand the cold, not at all." If you don't believe it, ask Qi Niang, there are many girls next to her, and every winter, Qi Niang tells these girls to put on cotton robes early, bring knee pads and hand guards, and be sure to wear a hood when you go out, saying that your body will not hurt when you are old (shēn). ”

Su Jinyao nodded and said, "This is." However, I am a healer, and some of the remedies I know are more effective. Soaking in cold water once in a while can also strengthen your body (shēn), and you won't catch a cold in winter. ”

Xiuning glanced at Su Jinyao again and said, "Crooked." Then I came to help Su Jinyao over.

The cotton robe on Su Jinyao (shēn) was empty, so she lifted the robe and prepared to enter the water, so she said to Xiuning: "You go out, I'll soak myself for a while." ”

Xiuning agreed, and then turned (shēn) out, and closed the door with his hand.

Su Jinyao stepped forward on both legs, and before she could take off her cotton robe, she heard Xiu Ning shouting outside: "Gu Gongzi!" How do you, how can you be all (shēn) wet ......"

After speaking, Xiuning probably understood something, and swallowed the rest of the words raw.

But I heard Gu Shangqing say: "Catch fish." The big carp is alive and well, and it is used for medicine by your master. Ahh ”

Xiuning was completely stupid, and took the big carp in Gu Shangqing's hand, which was still in one and one mouth, and was stunned.

At this time, Dongzi came out with this medicine jar and was about to decoct the medicine in the yard.

Xiuning saw it, snatched the medicine jar, and said to Dongzi: "Go quickly, grab another pair of medicine according to the prescription just now, this medicine Gu Gongzi used it." ”

Dongzi saw that one (shēn) was water, and Gu Shangqing also seemed to understand something, agreed, and ran out.

Xiuning raised the medicine jar towards Gu Shangqing and said, "Gu Gongzi, this is a prescription for dispelling cold, you go into the house and soak in the bath." After a while, Dongzi will come back and grab another pair of medicines, and you will be fine if you drink it. ”

After speaking, without waiting for Gu Shangqing to speak, Xiuning ran to call the guy to come over to help, poured a large bucket of (rè) water, put the other half of the medicine in the bucket, and let Gu Shangqing go in and soak.

Gu Shangqing looked at the closed door of Su Jinyao's house on the other side, smiled at Xiuning, said "thank you", and closed the door and went into the house.

Su Jinyao soaked in the wooden barrel, the silk medicinal fragrance refreshed people's hearts and lungs, and the mud (shēn) was soaked comfortably in the medicinal bath.

As for the outside, she could hear what Xiuning and Gu Shangqing said clearly, and she also knew that Xiuning gave the other half of the medicine to Gu Shangqing.

Su Jinyao hooked the corners of her mouth and wanted to laugh. In the end, she really laughed, but she didn't say anything, just closed her eyes and continued to soak in her bath.

Wait until Dongzi bought back another pair of medicines, fried them, and gave half of them to Su Jinyao and Gu Shangqing, and sent them over separately.

Su Jinyao took a big sip of the medicinal soup, and said to Xiuning: "Go and see, has the Gu Gongzi next door drunk the medicine?" Xiuning listened, lowered her head and rubbed her hands, and the watch (qíng) was very embarrassed and called "master".

"What are you calling me for? Let you go next door and see, Gu Shangqing has drunk the medicine. Su Jinyao's eyes widened, and she looked majestic.

Xiuning swallowed her saliva in fright, and hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Master, I know that I shouldn't leave Gu Gongzi on my own initiative." However, but the way he ** looks, and it's such a cold day, I'm really ...... I really can't bear to let him go like this. ”

After a pause, Xiu Ning said again: "Master, Gu Gongzi, he caught a big carp, and now he keeps it in the kitchen basin." For the sake of Gu Gongzi catching such a big fish, you can take him in. ”

Su Jinyao narrowed her eyes, looked at Xiu Ning and asked, "What do you think I mean?" Don't you think it's a good idea for me to ask him if he has drunk the medicine? ”

Xiuning blinked his eyes, and then came back to his senses. Ran nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go and have a look." ”

After speaking, Xiuning ran out with a smile. When I got to the next door, I knocked on the door and asked, "Gu Gongzi, my master asked you if you drank the medicine?" ”

"I'm drinking, I'm drinking." Gu Shangqing's voice came, but it was with a thick nasal voice, which should sound very uncomfortable.

Xiuning asked again: "Gu Gongzi, are you uncomfortable somewhere?" Then drink the medicine quickly. This is the prescription prescribed by my master. ”

"Well, I see, I'm done." Gu Shangqing's voice came again.

However, as soon as the words fell, Xiuning didn't turn (shēn) to go back to report, when he heard a "plop" sound in the room, like the sound of something heavy falling to the ground; Then there was a "bang", what porcelain broke.

Xiuning was stunned for a moment, then knocked on the door and asked, "Gu Gongzi, are you okay?" Gu Gongzi? ”

However, no one in the room answered.

Xiuning was startled and hurriedly shouted, "Dongzi, Dongzi come quickly." You go in and see, what's wrong with Gu Gongzi? ”

Dongzi ran over, pushed open the door and rushed in. Xiuning stood at the door, although he didn't go in, he also saw the situation inside.

I saw that Gu Shangqing had fallen to the ground, and the bowl of drinking medicine fell far away and shattered.

But fortunately, the bowl fell far away, otherwise Gu Shangqing (shēn) would have been scratched by broken porcelain pieces.

Dongzi hurriedly helped Gu Shangqing up, and shouted again and again: "Gu Gongzi, Gu Gongzi!" ”

Xiuning saw that Gu Shangqing had already put on his clothes, and ran in with him. Sweep the broken porcelain pieces on the ground aside first, so as not to accidentally hurt Gu Shangqing. Then he helped Dongzi lift him to the (chuáng), and when he looked at Gu Shangqing again, he saw that his face was already red and he had a high fever.

Xiuning hurriedly ran back, and when she came back, she saw that Su Jinyao had already drunk the bowl of medicine and was combing her hair.

"Master, are you alright?" Xiuning was so frightened that she ran to Su Jinyao's (shēn), reached out and touched Su Jinyao's forehead, making sure that she didn't have a fever but was not at ease, and asked anxiously: "Master, do you have any discomfort?" Like dizziness, headache or something? ”

"It's okay, haven't I taken medicine? This medicine is very effective. After Su Jinyao finished speaking, she pulled Xiuning's hand away and continued to comb her hair.

Xiuning hurriedly said: "But, but the Gu Gongzi next door suddenly fainted, and he also had a high fever." I thought there was something wrong with the medicine that Dongzi bought. ”

When Su Jinyao heard this, she put down the comb in her hand and asked Xiuning, "Did he drink the medicine?" ”

Xiu Ning said nervously: "Yes, when I went to ask, Gu Gongzi was drinking." When I finished asking, he finished drinking. And then it fell. Now his forehead is burned, and his face is red. ”

"Ah, mistaken, mistaken." Su Jinyao immediately pretended to be nervous and said, "I just asked you to ask Gu Shangqing if he drank the medicine, I really cared about him." I wanted to remind him that he couldn't drink that medicine. ”

"What? But you, master, are not...... Is it okay to drink? Xiuning was suddenly agitated, and his heart shrank into a ball.

Su Jinyao said, "I drank it, but it was the prescription I grasped according to the girl's (shēn) body." (yīn) Yang is different, men and women are different, Xiuning, you don't know it, right? When I take medicine, the medicine that men take is completely different from that of women. The medicine I brewed and drank were all prescriptions for women to dispel dampness and cold, and the ice water was very cold in winter, so I aggravated the prescription. This medicine is given to men, especially young and strong men, such a heavy prescription must make up for his high fever and nosebleeds. ”

"Master!" Xiuning knew that he had done something bad with good intentions and harmed Gu Shangqing. She was also surprised, she didn't expect Su Jinyao to not remind her at all, let alone tell Gu Shangqing not to drink medicine.

"What? Didn't you notice that I was such a master? Su Jinyao sneered and said, "When I let Lan Yuan and Red Lotus fight in the Red Sleeve Workshop, I didn't see you so surprised." In fact, after following me for a long time, you should slowly come to know that I never like others to handle anything for me (qíng). Gu Shangqing deserves to be punished, as for when he returns...... You punished him again in my place. ”

"However, it was the slave's fault that Gu Gongzi was left behind. I shouldn't have given him the medicine without asking the master, you punish the slave, but Gu Gongzi is innocent. Xiuning knelt down as she spoke, tears in her eyes.

She was a little resentful, but she resented that she hadn't taken care of things (qíng).

Maybe she was not so anxious to show herself and come to inform the master, even if the master refused to leave Gu Gongzi and let him go to another place to take a bath and change clothes, such serious consequences would not happen.

Having said that, Xiuning really felt that she was too self-arrogated.

She seemed to understand what Su Jinyao meant by doing this. Su Jinyao was warning her, no matter how much she got along harmoniously, the master was still the master, the slave was still the slave, and she couldn't go beyond the rules.

Slaves and maids should never decide anything for their master, or forgive or help anyone for their master. If there is, then two people will have to bear the consequences together.

Su Jinyao saw Xiuning kneeling on the ground, with tears in her eyes, so she squatted down, looked at her and said, "You, really think about him?" ”

Xiuning shook her head desperately, and said excitedly: "Master, Xiuning is just a slave, Xiuning doesn't dare to think about Gu Gongzi, really don't dare." But I can't just watch him suffer, I'm going to feel bad, and I really can't ignore it. I was wrong, I shouldn't have left Gu Gongzi privately. But save him. Please. ”

Su Jinyao listened to Xiuning's plea and frowned slightly. Asked her rhetorically: "Then did I say that I wouldn't save him?" ”

"Nope." Xiuning immediately shook her head, and then came back to her senses and said, "It's the slave who has a lot of trouble." When the slave and maid come back, they should come to tell the master. As for how to deal with it, it is a matter (qíng) between the master and the ancient son. ”

Now Xiuning completely understands that between Gu Shangqing and Su Jinyao, whether it is good or bad, it is a matter for the two of them (qíng).

I have no right to intervene, let alone meddle. Her intervention was only in vain, and she also harmed Gu Shangqing out of thin air.

Su Jinyao nodded, pulled Xiu Ning up from the ground, and said, "Remember what I said to you before I came out of Anji City?" ”

"Yes." Xiuning nodded and said, "The master asked me to learn from you hard and be a clever girl." ”

Su Jinyao sighed and said, "And I also said to you before this sentence, leave my business (qíng)." ”

Xiuning nodded, held back her tears, and said, "Xiuning really knows that he is wrong. But I don't want to take care of my master's affairs (qíng), and I don't dare to take care of them. I just want to help my master. ”

Su Jinyao nodded, her face softened a little, and said, "You go and accompany Qi Niang, tell her that I'm fine, let her rest well today, and she may not be on the road." I'll go see Gu Shangqing. ”

Xiuning agreed, and went directly to Qi Niang's house when he went out. For Gu Shangqing, she really didn't dare to care too much.

Su Jinyao combed her hair, put on a cotton robe and a cloak, and then came to Gu Shangqing's house.

As soon as he entered the house, Dongzi looked crying and said anxiously: "Master, Gu Gongzi has a nosebleed." I tried all kinds of things and couldn't stop. ”

Su Jinyao nodded and said, "Fetch a basin of cold water and soak his feet in it." ”

Dongzi agreed, and quickly ran to fetch water.

Su Jinyao came to the side (chuáng) and reached out to hold Gu Shangqing's pulse.

I have seen him many times, but Su Jinyao is still the first time to check his pulse. Under the press, Su Jinyao couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, such a deep internal force!

Gu Shangqing's internal strength was not lost to Gu Xuebin, who had been practicing since he was an infant.

But Gu Xuebin said that the reason why he has deep internal strength is because his uncle Tuoba Gao began to use his internal force to wash his bones and purify the marrow every day when he was born, so that his skills reached a level that others could not reach after practicing for more than ten years when he was a child.

But Gu Shangqing's skills are also so profound, in addition to the fact that he is a few years older than Gu Xuebin, there should be another reason.

However, looking at Gu Shangqing's bubbling nosebleed now, Su Jinyao couldn't help laughing.
