Chapter 38 Lotus Porridge
Rong Yue hurriedly brought Ren Dan and other medicines to relieve the heat and rushed to Wang Jiuzhi's house, and saw that Zhao Xihou was applying a cloth to Rui Xue.
"Did Ren Dan get it? Feed her two. ”
Rongyue poured a glass of water, helped Ruixue up, stuffed a few Ren Dan and fed two sips of water: "Young master, let's go out." Go back to the room and get some ice to cool her down. ”
The cold water-soaked handkerchief was applied to Ruixue's body, and the fan in his hand kept fanning the wind to get hot.
Si'er, who had combed the woman's bun, hurriedly pushed the door and reached out to touch Ruixue's head: "What's going on?" How can you get heat stroke? ”
Rongyue changed her hand and was fanned by Ruixue, and hesitated: "I don't know, it was the young master who sent someone to tell me." ”
Si'er quickly rolled up his sleeves and pulled Rongyue aside: "What's the use of you doing this." Go to the side. ”
"You?"
"Gua Sha." Si'er took out a copper coin from her purse, threw away the handkerchief that Rongyue gave to Rui Xueshi, turned her upside down, and put her in a prone position.
poured some sesame oil on Ruixue's back, from neck to back, upper limbs to lower limbs, from top to bottom from the inside out, scraping side by side.
After a while, Ruixue's snow-white back turned red, condensing into red dots like rice grains. There are a lot of "sha" out, and the eyes are relatively dark, and there are some forest people who look at it.
Rongyue couldn't bear to see this terrifying side, and quickly turned her face, which was too scary.
After a little half an hour like this, Si'er finally stopped, took Ruixue's clothes and tied them loosely, and drank some warm water for her: "Take the ice away." I can't stand the cold now. ”
Rongyue looked at Ruixue, who was still unconscious, and said suspiciously: "That's it?" ”
"You don't believe me? Heat stroke gua sha is the best. Si'er washed his hands, lowered his cuffs, walked to the bed, and sat down again. It's not hot today, and it's strange how this kid has suffered from heat stroke.
I also heard that Mrs. sent people everywhere to look for her, and the kitchen was not there, and there was no one at home, but now people found her, but she suffered from heat stroke, but what about the bruises on Ruixue's knees.
"Rongyue, is it good?"
Zhao Xihou waited outside alone and shouted impatiently. It's been a long time, and people have gone in one by one, but none of them have come out to spread a word.
Rong Yue smiled apologetically at the frowning Si'er, walked outside quickly, and gently closed the door: "Young master, be quiet." Zhao Yuan's daughter-in-law gave Ruixue a scraper. ”
"Are you feeling better?"
"I don't know. Young Master, go back quickly. Now the sun is poisonous, and it's not good if you're going to have heat stroke again. ”
Zhao Xihou said indifferently: "Is my body so weak?" ”
"Even if you're worried about Ruixue, go back quickly. Mrs. didn't find you today, she was so angry, even the seventh girl was scolded, you go back quickly, it will be bad if your wife can't find you again. ”
"Why did my wife think of getting up and looking at me today?"
"How do I know. Mrs. Bi knew that the young master had gone out, but she couldn't tell where she was going. Rongyue couldn't help but rub her knees, it was still very uncomfortable to kneel for so long.
Zhao Xihou complained a little unhappily: "It's really eventful. Now tell the kitchen to ask them to make some light food for Ruixue to eat, and if the evening is not good, send someone to ask the doctor. Go back and smear some medicine on yourself. ”

Wang Jiuzhi entered the kitchen, and Zhao Yuan told him that Ruixue was suffering from heat stroke, and put a bowl of lentil and lotus leaf porridge into the food box and handed it to him: "This is the flat lotus porridge that has just been boiled, take it to Ruixue to eat." ”
"How can you get heat stroke?"
Zhao Yuan sent Wang Jiuzhi: "I don't know. Si'er has already gone over to scrape for Ruixue, and I said that I had woken up before, and I was about to send food over. ”
"Thank you." Wang Jiu took the food box and rushed back.
Zhao Yuan turned around, only to remember that Wang Jiuzhi didn't eat when he came back from outside, so he went back to the kitchen, made some food, and prepared a big bowl of mung bean soup and put it in the food box, and sent it over himself.
Ruixue had woken up, her face was already a little bloody, her hands and feet were warmer, Si'er stayed by the side and fed her two more mouthfuls of water: "You don't know, when I sent it before, my face was white, and my hands and feet were cold." ”
Wang Jiuzhi rubbed his hands and thanked Si'er, and touched Ruixue's forehead: "Do you feel better now?" Zhao Yuan boiled porridge for you, eat some. ”
Rui Xue shook her head: "It's still a little stuffy, and I don't want to eat it." She spoke in a very soft voice, and it seemed that a few words had taken a lot of effort.
It's just that his hand held Wang Jiuzhi's hand and muttered to Dad.
Seeing this, Si'er walked out by himself and gave up the entire space to their father and daughter.
"How can you get heat stroke?"
Rui Xue didn't speak, just lay on Wang Jiuzhi's legs, shedding tears.
As soon as she entered the door today, she was held down by several maids and dragged to Mrs. Zhao's second wife, and she didn't say anything, just took herself to the back and knelt under the sun. Later, she also heard the little girl talk that the maids in the third young master's house were all kneeling in the wife's room, and she knew that Zhao Xihou went out with her was known by the second Mrs. Zhao.
It's just that why did Second Mrs. Zhao take her, did she know that she went out with the third young master? But they left so early, and they shouldn't have doubted themselves. But looking at the posture of those maids, he seemed to know that he was going out with the third young master.
She knelt under the sun in a drowsy state, and no one paid attention to her, and then heard some movement in front, and saw the little girls running around, talking about the young grandmother of the Liu family, and then later, when her legs were numb and dizzy from the sun, someone finally came to call herself, saying that the young grandmother of the Liu family wanted to see herself.
She couldn't help but feel relieved, if it wasn't for Qiu Shi calling herself, she didn't know how long she would have to kneel.
Tears fell on the clothes and pants and immediately blurred, rendering tears. A little bit of dampness, oozing with a slight coolness, Wang Jiuzhi quickly felt it.
"Why are you crying? Isn't there something uncomfortable? I'm going to ask Lang Zhong? ”
Rui Xue shook her head, still lying on Wang Jiuzhi's body.
As long as her father was around, she felt safe. At that time, when she was kneeling in the courtyard of the second Empress Zhao, she felt invisible fear, the fear brought by the passage of time was eroding her little by little, she couldn't support it anymore, and when she was about to cry, Qiu gave herself hope. But even then, she was still scared, and only now did she truly feel safe.
Wang Jiuzhi didn't ask again. He felt from his daughter's wordless silence that this was not simply uncomfortable, the girl had grown up and had her own thoughts.
"Sleep again? Shall I mix some jelly for you? More vinegar and garlic? ”
As soon as I heard the vinegar, a large amount of saliva finally gushed out from my dry mouth. Ruixue couldn't help but nodded, she felt comfortable all over her body when she thought of the sour jelly.
Wang Jiuzhi rubbed her head, placed her in place, and went to the kitchen first.
Ruixue lay alone for a while, feeling that her head was still a little dizzy, and unconsciously fell asleep again. Hazy only felt that someone was touching her head, and she said vaguely: "Dad, I'll sleep again and eat later." ”
The man chuckled and pushed her: "I'll talk about it after seeing it clearly, I finally woke up, and it was dark outside." ”
Ruixue found that it was Zhao Xihou sitting on the edge of the bed, she struggled to get up, but was held down by Zhao Xihou: "You lie down yours, did I just come to see if you woke up?" There's porridge here, you can eat some. ”
Rui Xue shook her head: "Dad has something to cook for me." ”
Zhao Xihou nodded and slowly fanned Ruixue: "What's wrong with you today?" Isn't it good when you come back? Lady Liu wanted to see you before, I sent someone to find you, where did you go. ”
Ruixue hung her head and said softly, "It's in the house." ”
Zhao Xihou didn't hear what she was talking about, so he said directly: "Just rest in the house for heat stroke, and what are you going to do when you run out." I don't care about my body at all. ”
"I know. It's getting late, and my wife will be in a hurry. ”
Zhao Xihou smiled and said, "Are you afraid of your wife?" I didn't expect you to have someone who was afraid. Mrs. is not fierce, but her face is more serious, as long as she walks on the big field, Mrs. will not say anything. ”
Ruixue lowered her eyelids in silence. Is that so? She felt that Second Mrs. Zhao was a very powerful person, as long as she saw Second Mrs. Zhao, she was still afraid, just like she was arrested today for no reason, and knelt in the sun for a few hours without asking anything. The last time she played on the swing in the yard, she didn't know what was going on, so Mrs. Zhao reprimanded herself.
"Don't talk about my wife. Mrs. Liu came today to invite the fifth sister and the seventh sister to go to Shenshan Temple to burn incense, and asked you to go with her. You're getting well quickly."
"I'm not going."
"How can you not go, I'm counting on borrowing your light to go out for a walk."
"The third young master will go with the fifth girl and the seventh girl, and it's okay if I don't go."
"How can you be, ask the Buddha to bless you from illness and disaster. But it's decided, I won't bother you anymore, I'll go back. ”
Looking at the back of Zhao Xihou leaving, Rui Xue was silent. Invite the fifth girl to go with the seventh girl, and point to yourself, don't have such a thing as today when the time comes, why is Second Mrs. Zhao so hostile to herself? She didn't know if she still had such a thing, and maybe she would avoid it until she went to the inner court.
