Chapter 40. House calls
Stepping into the mansion gate, Ling Niankong went back to his cold garden, and I went back to my lingering garden.
After a busy day's work, my body can't help but be a little tired. After dinner, I took a short rest, and asked the servants in the yard to help me get a bucket of hot water, and I wanted to take a comfortable bath and relax. Seeing that all the servants had withdrawn, I took off my mask and stepped into the tub.
The servants prepared dried petals for me, but I was useless. The petal bath can indeed play a role in skin care to a certain extent, and the effect is far worse than that of modern fragrance shower gels.
Fragrance? Suddenly, I remembered that Ling Niankong said that he didn't like the smell of wormwood on my body, and I couldn't help but pout. I don't care if he likes it or not, I just like it! However, after thinking about it, although I don't mind, it's hard to guarantee that Yue Luanyi won't mind. She is a delicate princess, if she doesn't like the smell of her temper......
Alas, why did I have a hot brain at that time and volunteered to serve this little aunt?! Isn't this net asking for trouble for himself?! But for the sake of her not holding on to what happened before, I'd better deal with it carefully! Isn't it just wormwood? Wouldn't it be okay to press it down with another flavor?
I sat in the bathtub and continued to think, and suddenly I thought that when I first arrived in Nanli, I thought that when I had saved enough money for my family, I would open a beauty salon first. Why don't you take Yue Luanyi, a beautiful girl, to practice your hands first, and try to configure the ancient version of the fragrance shower gel? The more you think about it, the more feasible it is, and since you want to do it, even skin care is carried out together!
As I scrubbed my body and thought about the specific formula, I knew more and more that it was easier to prepare skin care products than to prescribe medicines!
As for the specific medicinal herbs...... The pharmacy of Tai Hospital has a large number of herbs that are sifted out every day, most of which are old medicines. These old medicines are useless, and they are all cleared out of the palace together, but in fact, the old medicines are not useless, and the ingredients used to make skin care products are very suitable. For example, expired milk should not be drunk again, but it can be used to wash the face and skin care.
After washing my body and soaking in the tub for a while, I stepped out of the tub, which was so comfortable! I dried my body with a cloth towel and twisted my hair, put on clean bedclothes and climbed directly onto the bed, and suddenly felt a little lacking in interest. In my previous life, every time I took a hot bath, I would dry my hair, burrow into the bed, put on headphones, listen to quiet music, flip through the books by the pillow, and fall asleep when sleepiness hit, which was very comfortable, but now there is nothing around.
I brushed back my wet hair a little helplessly, there is no hair dryer these years, and the original owner's hair is long to the hips and has a lot of hair, when will it take for the hair to dry thoroughly?! If you go to bed with wet hair, it will be uncomfortable, not to mention uncomfortable, and after a long time, it will cause headache, and if it is heavy, dampness will enter the body, and there is a risk of stroke. Alas, this is the bad side of being a doctor, knowing too much, and freedom is naturally limited.
I shook my hair again, very helpless. As...... Do I cut my hair shorter?
No, no, no! The ancients generally believed that "the body is the skin of the body, and the parents are the recipients". Besides, if I cut my hair, Ling Niankong is afraid that he will really strangle me. Alas, how did I occupy a body that I had already possessed? Don't even say this little thing!
I lowered my head and fiddled with my hair, trying to dry it quickly, when suddenly I felt a figure flash in front of the couch, and I suddenly looked up. I thought it was Ling Niankong, that guy came to find fault again, but I didn't want it to be ......
"Xiao Jifeng?"
The fox eyes of the visitor bent into laughter. "It's me."
"What are you going to do?"
"Why are beauties so cold to Xiao?" Xiao Jifeng spoke with disgust, sat down on the edge of the bed, picked my chin with his fingers, and said while looking: "I haven't seen the true face of the beauty for a long time, Xiao really misses it tightly." As he spoke, he brought his lips up.
I put my index finger against his lips. I was about to say something, but he took my finger in one mouthful, and a very strange tingling sensation ran down my arm and up my back.
I shuddered, and hurriedly snatched my fingers out of his mouth, not forgetting to rub saliva on his sleeve. Xiao Jifeng raised his eyebrows when he saw this, as if he was very interested. "Beauty, you are really very different from Leng Qingqian, but ......" He paused, but still leaned his face closer. Sometimes you are very similar to her, making it difficult for Xiao to tell whether you are her or not. ”
He said I was like a cold and shallow? What are we like? Besides, I have only met Xiao Jifeng a few times, and it is only the second time that I have talked face-to-face like this, how did he judge that I resemble the original owner?
"Oh? Then tell me what I am like her? ”
He said thoughtfully: "It seems to be like everywhere, and it seems to be like everywhere." ”
It was the first time I'd seen such a serious look on his face, but this man was so good at disguise, who knew how credible his words were?
I pouted. "I'm afraid it's just the same. What the hell are you here? ”
"It's okay, Xiao can't come to see you, beauty?" A look of grievance appeared on his face. "After all, the relationship between me and the original owner of your body can be called intimate, how can you be so cold to me? made Xiao so sad. ”
I couldn't have the patience to watch him act anymore, and my face sank. Seeing this, Xiao Jifeng sighed: "The beauty is really ruthless, Xiao avoided the heavy guards of the Ling Mansion to see you, and it was impossible to entangle with you for a while, you might as well know people's feelings." ”
"What the hell is going on?"
Xiao Jifeng pursed his lips. "Remember what you promised me last time?"
Of course I remember, didn't it just help him save someone?
I nodded and motioned for him to continue.
"Tonight, please ask the beauty to go to a doctor with Xiao."
I was helpless. "Okay, you wait for me outside, I'll pack up and let you go."
Xiao Jifeng smiled with satisfaction, walked out of the inner room, and closed the door.
I cleaned up for a moment, took the medicine box, and pushed the door open. "How to get there?"
When Xiao Jifeng saw me come out, he took the medicine box and said in a low voice: "The beauty just follow me." ”
Xiao Jifeng took me all the way to avoid the guards of the Ling Mansion, and I was shocked to find that he knew the situation of the Ling Mansion well, and his light skills were extremely good, and his concealment skills were even more first-class. Several times I thought I was going to be discovered, but he easily solved it with a little trick. This Xiao Jifeng's ability must not be inferior to Ling Niankong. He is willing to live under the people, and there must be a conspiracy.
Not long after leaving the Ling Mansion, Xiao Jifeng led me into a small alley. He took my arm and said without looking back as he walked: "Don't guess if you shouldn't guess, otherwise Xiao will not be able to protect the beauty, and you will not end up like Leng Qingqian." ”
I was shocked that he knew that I was secretly speculating about him! But what did he mean by that? Could it be that the accident of the original owner before was related to Xiao Jifeng?
He stopped and turned back to face me. "Say, don't guess." His warning was extremely serious, and his expression was very serious, but in an instant, he changed back to that cynical expression and said, "Get on the horse!" "Then I realized that we had reached the end of the alley, where a black horse was tied to it.
He helped me onto my horse, and then he followed him and sat down behind me.
I was taken aback when my eyes were blindfolded by something like a strip of cloth. "You?"
He smiled flirtatiously. "If the beauty wants to live, follow Xiao's arrangement."
Seeing that I was no longer different, he clamped the horse's belly, and the horse galloped away.
Blindfolded, I could only hear the sound of horses' hooves echoing through the silent streets of the night.
There is no curfew in Nanli, and the patrol in the second half of the night in Shengjing City on weekdays is only carried out once every half an hour. Xiao Jifeng must have calculated the time.
Now that midnight has passed, the city gate has long been closed, but Xiao Jifeng has chosen this fast horse as a means of transportation, so it can be seen that the destination should be a certain way, not in the city. So how is he going to get out of the city?
As he was thinking, the horse slowed down, as if it had been stopped, and it should have reached the city gate.
"Who left the city in the middle of the night? Go back, come back at the end of the day. "The voice of the speaker was very rough, and when you heard it, you knew that it was a strong man.
Xiao Jifeng's clear voice sounded slowly: "The fruit has fallen, the pulp has muddled the road, it is difficult to walk, and the road must be cleared." ”
There was silence for a moment, but the strong man guarding the door could be heard asking, "How to clear?"
"Cover the road with mutton fat at night, and wait for the dawn."
The brawny man said no more, but heard the sound of the heavy deadbolt being removed, followed by the dull sound of the heavy gate slowly opening.
Signal! What fruit and berry Xiao Jifeng said must be a code! Who is this Xiao Jifeng? There are hidden stakes among the soldiers defending the city!?
Xiao Jifeng raised his whip to urge the horse, and the sound of the whip waving accompanied by his slightly smiling words drilled into my ears together: "It's all said that you don't guess, it's just to add to the trouble." ”
This Xiao Jifeng really does not lose to Ling Niankong, and he is very good at speculating on people's hearts.
"Aren't you afraid that I will tell Ling Niankong?"
He chuckled, put his lips to my ear and said, "You can tell him, but if you tell him on the front foot, someone from the Criminal Department will raid the Ling Mansion on the back foot." If you don't believe me, give it a try. He has been arrogant for too long, and it should be time for him to memorize words. But......" He paused and sneered, "Are you willing?" ”
I froze when I heard this, nine and a half of Xiao Jifeng's ten sentences are false, and the remaining half of the sentences have to be carefully considered to know what he means, can he believe his words? But if what he said is true, then this person is too terrifying, and he can easily influence the decision of the Son of Heaven!
"Okay, don't think about it, if you're sleepy, just rely on me to take a nap, and you'll be busy in the middle of the night. Xiao's chest is the best reliance on you, beauty. ”
I was a little sleepy, and I didn't think about the meaning of his words, and I attached half of my body weight to him.
