CHAPTER XXXIII

The weather gradually entered midsummer, the heat wave began to surge in the imperial city, Su Jinan hid in the house all day and didn't want to go out, as the climate here was far less hot than Annan, but Su Jinan still felt hot and didn't want to do anything.

The sun has been shining for several days, and the temperature has risen several degrees, and the brothers and sisters in the third room of the Su family have not had much contact, especially Su Jin'an is alone in the inner courtyard, and he has not seen Su Muqing, Su Muyang and Su Murong for several days. But today Su Muqing came to find Su Jin'an in person, just after noon, Su Jin'an was waiting for the green calyx given by the emperor, and Su Muqing came with a hundred grasses.

Su Jinan was a little surprised when she heard Xia Qu say that the eldest prince was coming, and sat up from the soft floor covered with a mat: "Big brother? Why did he come on such a hot day? ”

"The slave didn't ask, but I saw that the eldest prince had a good face, and it shouldn't be ***." Generally, there are brothers who come to Su Jin'an, and they who are servant girls will not ask much, just go back and forth.

Su Jinan really didn't want to move, so he said lazily to Xia Qu: "You invite the eldest brother here, I'm too lazy to move." ”

Xia Qu knew that it would be like this, Su Jin'an was very afraid of heat, when he was in Annan before, in addition to making money and saving lives in the summer, Su Jin'an seemed to have taken root in the house, and sometimes he couldn't go out of the room for half a month, Xia Qu shook his head like an old mother and went to invite Su Muqing.

When Su Muqing saw Su Jin'an, she was half-lying on the soft collapse, playing with a green calyx leaf in her hand, Su Muqing reminded loudly: "This flower is given by the emperor, you can take it easy." ”

Su Jinan raised her eyelids and glanced at Su Muqing, then continued to stare at the green petals in her hand, and said slowly: "Big brother, the weather is so hot, why are you still going out, sit down and drink tea first, isn't there anything to let Baicao come over?" ”

"You know, I've always been afraid of the cold and not afraid of the heat, the summer here is far less severe than the weather in Annam, and it's not in the way to come out and take two steps." Su Muqing looked at Su Jin'an's listless appearance and was a little funny, if she was given a silver ticket or a medical book that she hadn't read now, she would be resurrected with full blood on the spot.

"Oh-what is the matter with that big brother, come to me-" Su Jin'an was still talking to Su Muqing in a slow tone.

Su Muqing didn't say it straight to the point: "This green calyx is a treasure in the moon season, very delicate, it is not easy to survive, since it is given by the Holy Father, it is better to take care of it." ”

"Big brother, don't worry, I have also taken care of a lot of medicinal herbs that are difficult to serve, just like those few Maixian Weng are also alive and well with me?" Su Jinan also has a lot of delicate medicinal materials here, in fact, she doesn't care much about such a green calyx, the emperor has so many things every day, how can he have time to remember her, even if this green calyx really doesn't work one day, she has a way: "Take a step back and say, even if this flower really doesn't work, I'll make it into a dried flower and put it there, and save a little worry, in case it is discovered, I will say: The flower given by the emperor is too precious, I can't bear to see it wither, so I kept it when it was the most beautiful and passed it on to future generations." ”

After Su Jin'an finished speaking, Xia Qu on the side smiled first, his shoulders shook, and Su Muqing also smiled: "You, I really don't know what to say about you." ”

"Then don't talk about me." Su Jinan said very naturally.

"Rong Cheng's wedding date was set for July 28, that is, five days later, and the invitation went down to my father, but he also wrote to me to inform him." Su Muqing said the reason why he came to Su Jin'an.

"It's pretty fast, on such a hot day, it is estimated that this couple will suffer a lot of crimes~" Su Jinan turned over and continued to lie on his back and sighed.

After listening to Su Jin'an's words, Su Muqing was a little helpless: "Your focus is always different from others, everyone thinks that this is a very compatible marriage, only you don't know what to pay attention to." ”

Su Jinan pursed his lips: "That can only show that others are not thoughtful." ”

"Anyway, you always have your own reasons, do you have anything you want me to bring to Rong Cheng?" Su Muqing didn't plan to reason with Su Jin'an, tomorrow Rong Cheng made an appointment with a few of their friends for a small get-together, Rong Cheng was afraid that he would not have time to talk to them when he got married, Rong Cheng treated Su Jin'an the same as treating him and Mu Yang, so he came to see if Su Jin'an had any congratulatory gifts to hand over to Rong Chengyi.

"I don't have any money for him." After listening to Su Muqing's words, Su Jinan sat up from the couch with a look of 'I have no money'.

Su Muqing couldn't help but support his forehead, his sister's obsession with silver was probably planted in his previous life: "I just asked casually, you decide for yourself." ”

Su Jin'an thought for a while: "I've known each other for so many years, and if I don't even say anything about such a big thing as getting married, it doesn't seem to be appropriate-" Su Jin'an paused and looked at Su Muqing for advice, Su Muqing nodded very cooperatively, and Su Jinan continued: "But I can't follow the money, he is not short of money, and he is not sincere when he comes here, and I can't afford to pay more, or I will give him such a rare gift, what do you say?" ”

"Well, that's a good idea, are you ready for that 'rare' gift?" Su Muqing thought of Su Jin'an's usual habits and asked, "Could it be that you want to give away pills to others again?" ”

Su Jinan was a little obsessed when she first learned medicine when she was a child, and she wanted to make pills into any medicine, so during that time, her room was full of large and small medicine bottles...... I can't count them, Su Murong was eaten by Su Jin's pills when he was a child, and at first the family was worried that it would be bad, but after a long time, I saw that Su Murong not only did not eat badly, but became more and more energetic, and he didn't even have a cold in a year, so he went with her. In the past few years, Su Jin'an has been busy with other things, and it has been a long time since she has seen her make any strange pills, Su Muqing doesn't know if she wants to give Rong Chengyi a bottle of "Ten Perfect Tonic Pills", if so, he thinks that Su Jin'an should not send anything.

Sure enough, Su Jin'an's eyes lit up when he heard Su Muqing mention the pills: "Yes, I still have pills, I wrote a new recipe two days ago, I think I can make it and try it." ”

Su Muqing felt that he was really talkative for the first time, so he shouldn't mention this stubble, looking at Su Jin'an's excited appearance, he said euphemistically: "This time Rongcheng is a big wedding, isn't it good for us to send medicine, if someone has a heart to say a few words, won't we become the prince of curses?" You know, these are taboos at the royal family. ”

Su Jinan thought for a while: "Yes, then what should I send?" Do you want to go to Linlang Pavilion to have a look? ”

"It's okay, let Rong'er accompany you, he doesn't know what to send."

"Okay, what is the big brother going to send?"

"I, he's always liked the beauty of the south, and I drew a 'snow scene on the south coast,' and it's been framed."

Su Jin'an's eyes widened when he heard this: "Mr. Qizhai is going to come out again!" It seems that the eldest brother has been prepared for a long time, and last time I saw the eldest brother's 'night bamboo' in a calligraphy and painting shop, it has been sold for seventy taels of silver! ”

"You bought it?" Su Muqing was surprised.

"That's right, my eldest brother's paintings have all been transferred to the capital, how can I not support it?"

"Don't buy it in the future, our family doesn't make a living by selling paintings."

"By the time the eldest brother paints a daughter, won't our family be able to make a living by selling paintings?"

"I'm daydreaming again, and I can't paint a picture of a daughter."

"Hehe, that's okay, then let's draw a painting of nine hundred and ninety-nine taels, then I'll sell the 'Night Bamboo'......" Su Jinan said her imagination on the side, Su Muqing didn't interrupt her, there were two people talking and the maid chuckling in the room.
