Chapter 31: Him in the Night
She raised her hand to touch her face, and her heart was shocked.
Rashes, rashes all over my face, potholes, it's hard to imagine what I look like now.
"Oh, Miss Chu, what's wrong with you. How did your pretty little face become like this? A girl who was usually jealous of her stood up and shook her fan gloatingly.
"That's it, how can you be an oiran when you look like this." Someone even stepped forward and pulled away her hand covering her face, deliberately exposing her rash.
Chu Ruoxi was upset, and stretched out his hand to push it away, but it caused more people to laugh.
"In my opinion, you better go back to the house and hide, what if this ghost appearance is seen by those sons and gentlemen, and they are frightened."
"That's it, you can't affect the business of our Baijiao Pavilion."
More sarcasm and ridicule came one after another, and the cool sarcastic tone made Chu Ruoxi's heart knot.
She is not a person who likes to cause trouble, so she only lightly left a sentence: "It's just a little rash, what's there to be surprised about." When I take the medicine, it will be fine in a short time, and my sisters are worried. After saying that, he covered his face and went back to the house.
Sitting at the dresser, looking at herself in the bronze mirror with a red face, she fell into sorrow: the thought of so many people staring at her rashed face and teasing and mocking, her heart was depressed and uncomfortable.
Seeing that the rash on his body was dense, Chu Ruoxi had to ask for leave.
Du Zhen said a few words half-truthfully, and he didn't dare to delay, so he granted the leave. Chu Ruoxi wore a hat, and in front of him was a layer of tulle as soft as a breeze, lowered his head, and went all the way home.
The neighbor who had a good relationship with him went to help hire a doctor, and when Lao Langzhong saw Chu Ruoxi, he leaned closer to hold on to his thick glasses, and while looking at the rash carefully, he dragged a long tail and said: "Girl, I look at you, it doesn't look like a disease." ”
Chu Ruoxi involuntarily touched his face and asked, "What is that?" ”
The old man sat down and said with questions: "Have you been exposed to any pollen pollen in the past few days?" ”
Chu Ruoxi thought about it, she didn't like to apply fragrant floral powder, and she had never touched any powder. Unless...... A haze flashed in her eyes.
Unless someone secretly made her come into contact with her.
Something suddenly flashed through her mind, she took the clothes she wore this morning and handed it to Lao Langzhong. He asked, "Can you help me see if there's anything wrong with this dress?" ”
Lao Langzhong took the clothes, put the already old glasses almost on the clothes, looked for traces, suddenly drank, twisted a pinch of fine powder in his hand, and said with a smile: "That's it." ”
He looked back at Chu Ruoxi and said, "I said girl, who have you offended recently?" Sprinkle this rash-causing powder on your clothes, no wonder you have a rash. ”
Chu Ruoxi was stunned by this, and was thinking, Lao Langzhong had already gotten up, saying that he was going to prescribe two doses of medicine, and it would be fine after two days of decoction.
Chu Ruoxi thanked Lao Langzhong, but he still had thoughts in his heart.
When the old man was sent away, it was already twilight.
The sunset on the horizon is like a brocade, and the gorgeous spread is spread in the distance, waiting for the arrival of the night. Chu Ruoxi finished decocting the medicine given by Lao Langzhong, and was about to take off his clothes to wipe the medicine, when suddenly there was a knock on the door.
The voice was muffled and deep, but it was continuous and powerful.
Chu Ruoxi muttered, so he had to put down the medicine bowl and get up to open the door. I thought it was Chu Rin, and I planned to roll up my sleeves and hit him twice to get angry, but it was really inopportune to come back.
When he opened the door and raised his eyes, it was Si Jing's face.
He stood tall in the cold night, and his dark robe dissolved into a landscape with the night. And his sword eyebrows and sideburns, his eyes were like deep pools, which made Chu Ruoxi shake his head for a moment.
"You ......" or Si Jing's temperament was too strong, and she was stuck as soon as she opened her mouth. Annoyed, Chu Ruoxi tidied himself up. He asked again: "Why is the evil king here?" ”
Si Jing looked at the person in front of him who was supposed to be beautiful and delicious but had an eye-catching rash, and a smile flashed in his heavy eyes. Slender fingers stretched out and handed over a bottle as pure as white jade.
Chu Ruoxi looked at him with questions in his eyes and handed over the bottle.
Is this time to pick up?
Looking at Si Jing again, his eyes were blank and he motioned for Chu Ruoxi to accept it.
After Chu Ruoxi took the bottle, Si Jing slowly spoke, and a low and magnetic voice crossed the night: "This medicine, you wipe it carefully tonight, it will be fine soon." ”
Chu Ruoxi bit her lower lip and looked at the white jade-like medicine bottle in front of her, a little stunned.
Si Jing, are you here to personally deliver medicine to yourself?
After coming back to his senses, he hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you, the evil king......" The end note gradually fell into the air. She quietly raised her gaze to look at today's "uninvited guest". He looked away, his face contoured, as if he belonged to the night.
But Si Jing's reaction was very ordinary, he looked back, his gaze sank, and gradually fixed on Chu Ruoxi's face. His timbre is still low and sultry, but his tone is unwavering: "Instead of going through the motions like this, it's better to do something practical to repay." ”
Chu Ruoxi was caught off guard by this, so he had to ask in a daze: "I don't know the facts of the evil past, what do you mean?" ”
