Chapter 21: Drink the medicine
After everyone dispersed, Fu Jin asked Xijun to accompany her to admire a few potted plants on the windowsill.
"Niu Co Lu, looking at you today, I feel comfortable for no reason. To Honghui Chongxi, I really wronged you. Ulanala raised his hand and broke a dead branch in the potted plant.
"Fujin is serious. The concubine can enter the house, which is the blessing of the concubine. Xi Jun had no choice but to say this.
"What a sensible one. In the end, everyone is from the same background, and they can't talk about it. Fu Jin Dao.
Xi Jun had no choice but to raise the corners of her mouth and smile, she was praised by Fujin like this, and she couldn't say anything.
"Fujin!" At this time, a maid came from under the corridor and blessed Fu Jin.
"What's wrong?" Fu Jin saw that it was the maid Lan Zhi who was waiting for Honghui, so he frowned and asked.
"Big brother refuses to drink medicine again, slaves and maids, how can the slaves and maids persuade them. None of them! Lan Zhi lowered his head and curled his neck.
"Useless things, this little thing is good to bother Fujin!" Mama Zhou, who was standing behind Fu Jin, immediately scolded harshly.
Lan Zhi didn't dare to say anything, and Fu Jin raised his hand and motioned to Mama Zhou not to scold her.
"Niu Co Lu, you go back first. Today's repeated provocative remarks are the Su family, the former pawn of Fang Fujin, and you usually don't have to argue with her. "Fujin" advised, "Cherish Jun Dao."
"Thank you Fujin for the point. What is the condition of the eldest brother? Xi Jun asked.
Everyone has expressed their closeness, and they should also be concerned.
The words that Fu Jin said to himself obviously intended to envelop him.
If you can find a reliance here in Fujin, it's not impossible, it's better than being an enemy of Fujin.
I hope Fujin is a good one!
"This kid has been sick for so long, and he has drunk countless medicines. Hey, this kid is miserable this time. Fu Jin said worriedly.
"The concubine will accompany Fujin to see the eldest brother." Xi Jun said.
"Good. Sister Niu Colu will come with me to see Honghui. Fu Jin took Xi Jun's hand and said.
The two walked along the corridor of the main courtyard all the way to the house where Honghui lived.
The house where the eldest brother lives is in a small courtyard behind the main house where Fujin lives.
As soon as Xi Jun walked in here, he could smell a faint scent of medicine floating in the air.
With her sense of smell, she could almost smell what medicine Honghui was taking.
Sure enough, when passing by the door, the medicine residue that fell under the tree under the steps caught Xijun's attention.
Judging from the residue of the medicine, Xi Jun couldn't tell what disease Honghui was suffering from.
When she followed Fujin into Honghui's house, she saw that he was coughing violently. Because he has been sick for more than half a year, he has lost a lot of weight.
"Eniang, I don't want to take these bitter pills. It didn't work either! Honghui saw that Fujin was coming, and cried and said to her.
Several maids all lowered their heads, and they didn't dare to come out.
"Honghui, how can you not take medicine. Your imperial grandfather is very concerned about your illness, and specially begged for this. Besides, if you don't drink medicine, how can you get better? Fu Jin walked over and said sadly.
Xijun looked at Honghui, then went to the maid's hand to take the medicine bowl, put it to his nose and smelled it, and couldn't help but feel a surge in his stomach.
What the hell is this, I feel very disgusting when I smell it, let alone drink it?
"E-niang, my son really can't drink it!" Honghui said with a desperate expression.
"Hui'er, this is Niu Co Lugege. It's to give you a rush, you Amaxna's Gege. She came to see you with her mother. Fu Jin Dao.
"Big brother, how are you feeling now?" Xi Jun looked at the appearance of the eldest brother, and really sympathized with him in his heart, he was so young, and he didn't know what kind of stubborn disease he had, so he had to drink such a bitter medicine every day.
"I just feel dizzy and cough all the time. Eniang, am I going to die? The eldest brother said, suddenly out of control.
"Nonsense, you're not going to die. Your illness will be fine! Fu Jin pinched the handkerchief and wiped the fine sweat on his forehead for Honghui.
Although it was still winter outside, Honghui's house was as warm as spring, and even a little hot. This is because the fourth master is afraid that Honghui will freeze and aggravate his condition, so he deliberately made several braziers burn in this room.
Honghui has been lying in bed sickly, and even sweating.
"Fujin, the eldest brother is already sweating. Is this kind of repeated sweating also bad for people who are weak? Xi Jun said.
She planned in her heart that if she could use the knowledge of the future generations to save the life of the eldest brother, it would also be a virtue.
What's more, in the end, he came in the name of rejoicing for the eldest brother, if he let the eldest brother get better, it would be good.
"This?" Fu Jin had no idea for a while, she was only afraid that Honghui would freeze and catch the cold, but she didn't think about it.
When Niu Colu Gege said this, the old slave remembered an old saying he had heard before: sweating after a long illness is empty. This frequent sweating is to dissipate the vitality in the body. Mama Zhou said.
Xi Jun nodded and said, "What Mama Zhou said is exact. ”
Fu Jin immediately asked someone to take away a few braziers.
"Fu Jin, let the concubine serve the eldest brother with medicine!" Xi Jun said. She wanted to take this opportunity to get in touch with the big brother. If you can see any clues from him, maybe you can know what disease the eldest brother is suffering from.
"Then there's Launer, Cobalt, Lugege." Fu Jin gratefully threw a faint smile at Xi Jun.
"Big brother, I have a way that allows you to drink this bowl of medicine without feeling bitter. Would you like to try it? Xi Jun took the black medicine bowl and walked up to him.
As soon as the eldest brother heard that he didn't feel bitter, he was naturally willing to try. Because he knew that his mother's stunt would not be soft-hearted, so he had to force himself to drink the bowl of medicine.
So, he nodded like a chicken.
"Okay, then if you're willing to try, you have to listen to my instructions. Hold the bowl of medicine to yourself first. Then give me the rest of the hand! Xi Jun said.
The eldest brother may be really tired of drinking the bitter medicine, but at this moment, he actually took the medicine very cooperatively, and gave his empty hand to Xi Jun to pinch.
Xi Jun grabbed that hand, and the other hand touched his arm again.
"Big brother, drink. It's not bitter anymore. Xijun said gently.
The eldest brother was skeptical, took the medicine bowl himself, and began to drink.
Fu Jin and Mama Zhou both stood in Xi Jun's life and looked at the eldest brother, and they didn't see the movements of Xi Jun's hands.
A few maids didn't dare to look at it, eager to minimize their sense of existence.
Therefore, no one saw what Xi Jun was doing.
The eldest brother's mind was all on the bowl of bitter medicine on his mouth, and when he saw that he drank it in his mouth, he really didn't have the disgusting feeling he had before, so he simply drank it in a big gulp.
