Chapter Seventy-Nine: Healing
"How are you feeling today?" Bai Jiujiu squatted in front of Xu Huaiqing, looking at his injured leg, the knee was originally black, but after she started to detoxify, she made a cut here and released the black blood, and now it has returned to its original complexion.
These days, she dispenses medicines, decoctions, and dressings to Xu Huaiqing every day, and the effect is also obvious, Xu Huaiqing is no longer in pain these days, but he is still a little lame when he walks.
Xu Huaiqing smiled and didn't speak, just stood up and walked a few steps, his upright posture and steady pace were no different from normal people.
Bai Jiujiu was pleasantly surprised, "Your leg is fully recovered?!" ”
"Yes, thanks to the lady's credit."
Bai Jiujiu's ears flushed uncontrollably, his hand unconsciously tightened his sleeve, and after coughing in disguise, he endured shame and said, "Give it to me, I'll see if the Gu poison is cleared." ”
Xu Huaiqing obediently handed her his hand, Bai Jiujiu put his fingers on his pulse, mobilized his spiritual power, and swam around his body, unimpeded, without any abnormality, it seems that this time it was really completely cleaned up.
"Great, it's really fine." Bai Jiujiu's cheeks were red with joy, and her eyes were shining.
Xu Huaiqing looked at her quietly, with a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth, Bai Jiujiu was caught off guard and bumped into his dark eyes as deep as a cold pool, stunned for a moment, the smile gradually froze, and he looked away in a panic, "I still have something to do, go out first." ”
As soon as the words fell, Bai Jiujiu jumped up and wanted to go out, but he didn't expect that because he was in too much hurry, he accidentally tripped over the chair on the side.
"Ahh
Bai Jiujiu exclaimed, her body fell straight back, she just wanted to protect herself with spiritual power, but she couldn't help but think that Xu Huaiqing was by her side, so she didn't dare to move, only closed her eyes and waited for the severe pain to come.
However, the expected pain did not come, and a pair of strong hands firmly wrapped around her waist and carried her into his arms.
Bai Jiujiu instinctively hugged Xu Huaiqing's shoulder, frightened. The two hugged each other tightly, and they didn't know whose heartbeat it was, bang, bang, big scary.
Bai Jiujiu felt for the first time that Xu Huaiqing's chest was so wide and so warm, she was a little reluctant to leave, she only felt that it was so warm and safe to stay inside.
A chuckle rang out from above his head, "How long are you going to stay?" ”
Bai Jiujiu's face flushed, and he immediately retreated, and stammered and explained, "I'm me, I'm going to measure your body, it seems that the supplements these days are not in vain, your body can support you to go to the academy, if you can't keep up, it's your IQ problem." ”
After speaking, he didn't dare to look at Xu Huaiqing's face, turned around and ran out quickly.
Leaving Xu Huaiqing standing in place with a stunned face, digesting her inexplicable words, after a while, he shook his head helplessly, this little fox, the appearance of strong words is also cute and tight.
After Xu Huaiqing's leg disease was completely intact, the entire Xu family was happy, and the Wang family specially bought a lot of vegetables to come back to celebrate. During the banquet, Mr. Xu had been patting Xu Huaiqing's shoulder with satisfaction, he had high hopes for Xu Huaiqing, but he was trapped by a leg disease.
Although he didn't say it explicitly, Xu Huaiqing's leg has always been a heart problem for Old Man Xu, and now that Xu Huaiqing has finally returned to normal, how can he not be happy.
Wang was also very excited, and even wiped the tears overflowing from the corners of his eyes.
And the biggest hero, Bai Jiujiu, just watched silently, she didn't care if she was ignored by the Xu family, Xu Huaiqing's leg was better, she was happier than anyone else.
However, she wanted to be invisible, but Xu Huaiqing didn't want her to get her wish, and suddenly looked at her.
"Dad, mother, if it weren't for Jiujiu, I don't know if my legs can be good, she is my lucky star."
After she said this, the Wang family and Old Man Xu reacted and praised Bai Jiujiu one after another.
Bai Jiujiu was a little at a loss for a while, she didn't expect Xu Huaiqing to say that, her heart was shy and sweet, but she met Xu Huaiqing's eyes, and in an instant she was swept into the bottomless pool of water.
He was afraid that his family would forget her credit, so he specially mentioned it.
To be honest, Bai Jiujiu's identity is still a little embarrassing after all, even if the Wang family and Old Man Xu have accepted her, but her identity as a concubine cannot be changed. This is always a pimple for the people of the Xu family.
Xu Huaiqing thinks a lot about her.
Bai Jiujiu was quite moved in his heart and felt that his efforts were worth it.
After his health recovered, Xu Huaiqing could finally go to the private school to study with peace of mind. Bai Jiujiu went to the embroidery workshop as usual every day, and after handling all the things that should be handled, he went to the private school to see Xu Huaiqing studying.
She likes to see Xu Huaiqing's back straight, and she writes in ink, just to not affect his learning, every time she secretly goes over.
When Xu Huaiqing got out of school, she left quickly, and when she got home, she pretended to ask him, what did she learn today, whether she was tired or not, in fact, she had already heard Mr. lecture when she was outside.
Xu Huaiqing would tell her patiently every time that she had written a few articles and what lessons her husband had taught, and Bai Jiujiu listened to them with relish and enjoyed them.
Xu Huaiqing saw her serious appearance, which was quite funny, so he wanted to tease her, "Do you understand?" ”
Bai Jiujiu nodded heavily, and commented thoughtfully, "I think your article is very well written, the pressure on the people is already great, and there are such high taxes." Every autumn after the harvest and the tax is paid, there is nothing left, and the people's livelihood is gone. If you can think from the standpoint of the common people, you will definitely be a good official when you become an official in the future. ”
Xu Huaiqing looked at her unexpectedly, but he didn't expect Bai Jiujiu to understand this, and what he said was the truth, but he underestimated her.
"You...... What are you looking at me like that? Bai Jiujiu was a little weak-hearted, and thought that he had said something wrong, so he thought about it carefully, as if he didn't, but Xu Huaiqing's eyes were so terrifying, like a wolf seeing a sheep.
At this time, the Wang family called them outside, and Xu Huaiqing's eyes immediately softened, "It's okay, let's go, go to dinner." ”
Bai Jiujiu's heart was put down.
At the dinner table, Xu Huaiqing was eating elegantly, obviously from a peasant family, but his every move was like a noble son, Bai Jiujiu didn't know how to eat the food, and his mind didn't know where to fly for a long time.
Since then, Bai Jiujiu found that Xu Huaiqing would always tell her some things she had seen in the school when she came back, and she was also willing to listen to Xu Huaiqing, and occasionally interjected a few words of her own opinions, and the two were unexpectedly harmonious.
went to the private school for several days in a row, Bai Jiujiu gradually found a problem, from the third day, there was a girl, from time to time to come to Xu Huaiqing, the attitude was quite intimate, staring at Xu Huaiqing's eyes was even more gentle and dripping.
