It was late at night, and the rustle of the leaves from the wind was heard outside from time to time, Xia Chuanyuan helped Ge Shi to sit on the couch, grabbed her hand and said: "You never complain easily, you always like to hold things in your heart, I have been busy outside in the past few years, ignoring you." ”

Ge Shi shook his head, smiled softly, blinked his eyes and said, "The master can think of the concubine again, and the concubine will be happy in her heart." ”

The two looked at each other affectionately, and there was a soft knock on the door outside the house, "Master, fourth aunt, the doctor is here." ”

Xia Chuanyuan stood up, sat down at the small table on the couch, and said, "Come in." ”

The door was pushed open, and Jade and Xiao Liuzi walked in, followed by the invited doctor.

"I've seen the master, I've seen the fourth aunt." The doctor bent down and saluted, and Xia Chuanyuan waved his hand, "Get up, come and show the fourth aunt." ”

The doctor walked over, took out a white silk from the medicine box on his back and put it on the wrist of the fourth aunt, and put two fingers lightly on it, and after a while, he accepted the white silk, took a step back and replied: "Back to the master's words, the fourth aunt is depressed and weak, slightly cold, wait for the old man to prescribe a prescription to dispel wind and cold and stop coughing, let the fourth aunt take it, you can stop coughing, but this heart knot, you still need to recuperate, the old man can only be assisted by the medicine to ease the mind." ”

Xia Chuanyuan listened, and involuntarily glanced at Ge Shi next to him, and saw that she was using a juan pa to put it between her lips, even so, the irrepressible coughing sound still came out intermittently.

"Okay, stand down, you go and get the recipe, decoct the medicine and send it to your aunt."

Xia Chuanyuan opened his mouth and said to the maid Jade on the side.

Jade and Xiao Liuzi pushed the door out, and the doctor followed behind him and walked out, Xia Chuanyuan looked at Ge Shi and said softly: "The doctor said that you have a knot, would you like to say it and listen to it with me?" ”

Ge Shi paused, put his hands on his knees, turned his head and said softly: "The concubine is a mentally handicapped woman, and she doesn't dare to ask the master to hang more curtains, but she is ......."

Speaking of this, Ge Shi paused slightly, and then continued: "Ning'er, she is still young, she doesn't know the sinister world, and it is inevitable that things will be abrupt, so don't worry about it. ”

Xia Chuanyuan listened, took a purse embroidered with begonia flowers from the sewing basket on the small table, and said: "Your embroidery is getting more and more sophisticated, if you can take the time to teach Ning'er more, let her put more thought into the female red, in the future, I can also be a good person." ”

After hearing this, Ge Shi only bowed his head and remained silent, and after a while, he raised his head and said, "The master obviously knows that the prince has a heart for Ning'er. ”

A short sentence made Xia Chuanyuan upset, he knew the prince's intentions for Ning'er, but after all, Ning'er was just a concubine, if she married in the past, she couldn't be the main room, what was the use? If you are not sure of the battle, you still don't dare to do it.

"Ning'er is still young, it will take another two years to catch up, and you, the mother, are thinking too far."

Xia Chuanyuan smiled awkwardly, stood up and said, "It's too late today, so I'll rest here with you." ”

Ge Shi meekly stopped talking, stood up and walked over to change Xia Chuanyuan's clothes, and when he lay on the bed, Xia Chuanyuan seemed to be really tired, muttered 'Mei'er', and fell asleep.

Ge Shi poked his head out, blew out the two candles at the head of the bed, in the dark night, a line of tears rolled down from the corners of Ge's eyes, sighed, Ge Shi put down the curtain, and sighed silently in his heart, "The heart is already dead, why do you come to offer such hospitality?" ”

If he hadn't remembered Ning'er in his heart, why would he be like this, the past love had already passed away in a hurry with him dropping the bottle, and now he has no hatred left in his heart.

When Ning'er got married, it was the day when he was left alive, and after thinking about it, Ge Shi lay on the bed sideways, staring at the tent at the head of the bed, and was stunned.

Two duplicitous people, one night, in the same bed, different dreams.

Early in the morning on the second day, when Xia Chuanyuan woke up, Ge Shi was already standing in front of the bed and dressed neatly, Xia Chuanyuan opened his eyes, there was no indifferent eyes of the previous Fang clan and the flattering expression of the maids around him, let alone Ning's eager language and chattering mouth.

Ge Shi in front of him was wearing a yellow short coat, a one-color Momofuku flower skirt, his hair was combed back with green silk regularly, and a simple fallen horse bun was coiled.

Seeing Xia Chuanyuan open his eyes, Ge Shi said softly: "Master, are you awake?" ”

It was like the most ordinary greeting between husband and wife, but it made Xia Chuanyuan's heart extremely warm, how long had he not seen such a scene when he woke up.

When he was served, dressed and washed, and sat down at the table, Xia Chuanyuan frowned and said, "What's the matter, do you use these meals on weekdays?" ”

There are two small dishes on the table, a plate of assorted vegetables, a plate of green cucumbers, all of which are light and delicious dishes, and a large bowl is placed next to it, which is steaming eight-treasure porridge, and the staple food is a plate of crystal clear crystal buns, although it is exquisite, but it is still too simple.

Xia Chuanyuan remembered that she was in Fang's room, she was the housewife, so she naturally ate better, but in Ning's room, breakfast was also more than a dozen side dishes and staple food.

Ge Shi stood aside and explained: "If you go back to the master, the concubine eats alone on weekdays, and these are enough. ”

Xia Chuanyuan was silent, pulled the stool on the side with his hand and motioned for Ge to sit down too, Ge sat down meekly, turned sideways and gave Xia Chuanyuan a bowl of eight-treasure porridge.

Xia Chuanyuan took a sip of the bowl, the eight-treasure porridge melted in his mouth, the aroma was refreshing, and he drank it in one gulp, as if it still had the fragrance of flowers and a faint smell of herbs.

After drinking a bowl quickly, Ge Shi was about to go to Sheng, but Xia Chuanyuan waved his hand and said with a smile: "Isn't there still a girl waiting for this?" As he spoke, he handed the bowl to the girl standing on the side.

The girl was flattered, and hurriedly took the bowl respectfully, and handed a bowl to Xia Chuanyuan.

Jade looked at the maid Yuyue coldly, and felt disdain.

Xia Chuanyuan didn't notice anything else, and Ge Shi said again: "Master, try the buns and side dishes." ”

His eyes glanced at Yuyue, who was secretly shy.

Xia Chuanyuan took a bite of the crystal bun, he couldn't help but feel fragrant, the bun skin was thin and the filling was fresh, and when he bit into it, the soup flowed wantonly in his mouth, Xia Chuanyuan finished eating one, and then went to sandwich the green cucumber and assorted vegetables, both of which were delicious, and couldn't help but eat a lot.

After finishing the meal, Xia Chuanyuan looked at most of the dishes that he had eaten, and asked with some doubts: "The porridge and buns you have here seem to be better than those in the house." ”

Ge Shi shook his head: "The master said that he laughed, where can it." ”

Jade on the side suddenly interjected: "The fourth aunt got up early, and she has been busy until now......"

"Don't be rude!" Ge Shi said, Jade immediately didn't dare to speak anymore, but Xia Chuanyuan was even more suspicious, and hurriedly said, "You say, it's okay." ”

Jade glanced at Xia Chuanyuan and said: "Auntie is more than two hours earlier than usual today, knowing that the lord likes to eat crabs, so I found a crab to peel the crab and take the crab roe and crab meat to make stuffing and wrap the buns, and soaked rice to boil porridge, knowing that the lord is worried about the government every day, and added some herbs that are beneficial to the body and nourishing herbs that I planted, and those small dishes are also made by my aunt herself." ”

After hearing this, Xia Chuanyuan was greatly moved, although he was the prime minister, there were many wives and concubines in the house, but none of them were willing to cook for themselves, most of those who brought a bowl of soup and water to see themselves, most of them were ordered to make it in the kitchen, but this Mei'er actually did it herself and did so much for herself.

"Mer...... You're already unwell, so why do you want to do this? ”

Ge Shi shook his head and said with a smile: "Master doesn't have to worry about it, the concubine just does what she likes, and it is the concubine's job to serve her husband." ”

Jade interjected on the side, "It's not, my aunt is swollen with ten fingers in order to peel crabs, and the slave wants to help my aunt, but my aunt won't say anything, saying that it is the master's food, and she is not at ease when others handle it." ”

Xia Chuanyuan listened, stretched out his hand and pulled out Ge's hands, sure enough, the ten fingers on a pair of plain hands were wrapped in white cloth, and the little red was shocking, Xia Chuanyuan looked at Ge, but the other party smiled lightly: "Master, the concubine doesn't hurt." ”

One sentence made Xia Chuanyuan almost cry, why did she refuse to help her dress just now, why did she turn sideways when serving porridge, it turned out that she was afraid that she would see her hands.

Instructed the maid to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, Xia Chuanyuan said with some distress: "After a while, the girl will fry the medicine, you must not be afraid of bitterness, you must drink it, and get better as soon as possible, you know?" ”

Ge Shi lowered his head and replied softly: "The concubine knows." Xia Chuanyuan looked at her, suddenly hugged her in his arms, and said softly: "Ning'er's matter, I will make plans again, she is our daughter, I feel as sorry for her as you do." ”

After speaking, Xia Chuanyuan turned around and went out, Ge Shi chased a few steps, walked to the door, and watched Xia Chuanyuan's figure go farther and farther.

Back in the room, Ge Shi saw the blue and white porcelain bottle, reached out to take it, and the handwriting on the bottle was still clearly visible, 'Give it to my favorite Mei'er'.

This bottle was given to him by Xia Chuanyuan when he first entered the door, at that time, although he hated Xia Chuanyuan's words and did not believe it, he said that he would marry himself as the main room but became an aunt, but he still remembered him in his heart, he gave himself a bottle, asked himself if he liked it, and said that this bottle was fired by the master, the only one in the world, he was very happy, and in a blink of an eye, he left his aunt's affairs behind, took a piece of paper from the table, and wrote the poem 'May I be like the stars and the moon, and the night and night streamers are bright', and put it in the bottle.

Thinking of this, Ge reached out and took it into the bottle, but it was empty.

What about the note, Ge Shi was puzzled, but he was in a mood in an instant, after so many years, I am afraid that I accidentally dropped it.

Putting the bottle back in its place, Ge Shi walked to the couch and sat down, and Jade pushed the door in, "Auntie, the medicine is ready, and the slave maid will serve you." ”

As soon as Ge Shi took the bowl, a voice came from outside, "Auntie, can you get up?" ”

As she spoke, Xia Mengning came in from outside, today she was wearing a moon-white skirt and a pink gown, the girl had bright eyes and bright teeth, standing there, it was a beautiful scenery.

"The slave has seen the third lady." Jade hurriedly saluted.

Xia Mengning came over and sat down at the small table on the small couch, and said to Jade with a smile: "I brought some new-colored bead flowers, the style is chic and beautiful, the bead lotus is outside, you can also pick a few." ”

Jade smiled, "Miss Xie San." With that, he put down the medicine bowl and walked out.

Ge Shi saw that Jade had gone out, so he smiled and asked, "Why are you free?" ”
