Chapter 188: I felt the wind and cold
When Yuan Zhi came here, he naturally wouldn't be like Shen Ziyi, just chatting. But what is the purpose of his coming, he doesn't say it himself, and Lin Xiaozhu has made up his mind not to ask.
Yuan Zhi was obviously not in the mood to talk nonsense with Lin Xiaozhu, so he casually asked a few words about the store, and said directly: "Miss Xiaozhu, this son of the world is here to ask you for a favor." ”
Lin Xiaozhu raised his eyes and looked at Yuan Zhi, the smile on his face remained the same: "What does the prince command, please say." ”
Yuan Zhi took care of himself and found a place to sit, and said as if chatting about homely things: "I asked someone to buy the cream cake in your store once." My father ate it, and said yes. So I thought about inviting Miss Xiaozhu to my house to make it for my father in person, I don't know what Miss Xiaozhu wants? ”
Inviting the cook to the house to cook snacks is also a common practice for large families. After all, whether it is in terms of materials or hygiene, it is better to make it at home than to buy it outside. But Yuan Zhi went to the dim sum shop during this time, and Lin Xiaozhu analyzed his intentions in his heart. The most guessed is that Yuan Zhi wants to snatch her into the mansion to hold Yuan Tianye hostage. After all, Yuan Tianye brought He Wenqing's dim sum shop for her. In other words, she has become Yuan Tianye's weakness. If Duanwangfu was suspicious of Yuan Tianye, he would definitely use her to test Yuan Tianye. But then there was no movement, and she dispelled this conjecture again. Now, she understands that Yuan Zhi doesn't want to do it, but is just waiting for an opportunity, waiting for Yuan Tianye to leave the capital.
"I'm sorry, Lord Shizi. I've been infected with a cold for a while, and I haven't been getting well, so I stayed at home yesterday to rest. It's just because this store is going to open tomorrow that I forced myself to come and see it. The prince must also know that he can't eat if he is infected with wind and cold, otherwise he will easily spread the disease to others. Do you think that's going to work? Chef Li of the dim sum shop is the one who went to Shen Yuan with me last time to make dim sum. The cream cake he made was no worse than mine. Now the cakes at the dim sum shop are all made by him. The prince of the world made this errand, so he let him run. What do you think? ”
Her words were to test Yuan Zhi. If it is really as Yuan Zhi said, it is just a dim sum for Duanwang to show filial piety. Surely she will not refuse her request. But if there is an ulterior motive, there must be another argument.
Yuan Zhi heard this. The face that had been expressionless just now sank suddenly, and the eyes staring at Lin Xiaozhu suddenly became gloomy, and the cold aura that came out of his body made the temperature in the store drop by a few degrees.
If he wants to be someone else, Lin Xiaozhu will inevitably look at him calmly, in order to show that what he says is the truth, and he is not empty at all. But this Yuan Zhi likes fierce women. She also didn't know if she was too calm, if she would cause him to possess **. At that moment, under his forced gaze, he lowered his eyes, his teeth bit his lower lip tightly, and his hands were unnaturally tightening the corners of his clothes, pretending to be nervous and scared.
"Hmph, I see that your face is full of red light, your voice is loud, and you are full of energy, where is your sick appearance?" Yuan Zhi said this. Slammed the table and said sharply, "I think I'm pretending to be sick!" ”
Lin Xiaozhu shook his body cooperatively, and then said competently: "Shi, Shiziye." Where do slaves and maids dare to pretend to be sick? In fact, he is really sick, and everyone else can testify. Besides, it is the honor of all chefs to be able to go to the Duanwang Mansion to make dim sum for the prince, and if they can't ask for it, where is there any reason to push it out? The slave and maid excused herself, she was really thinking about the prince's body, and she didn't dare to hide her illness for her own selfishness. Otherwise, the disease will be transmitted to the prince, and the slave and maid will not have enough to cut off nine heads. ”
Originally, at this time, kneeling down and kowtowing to Yuan Zhi, the performance would be more real. But since Lin Xiaozhu arrived in ancient times, she has also knelt down to the old man and Ma Jiao who were her masters. At this time, she asked her to kowtow to Yuan Zhi, she really didn't want to, so she just stood there helplessly and pretended to be stupid.
"Hmph, the real illness is still a fake illness, let the doctor know as soon as he takes the pulse." Yuan Zhi snorted coldly and shouted, "Li Sheng, please ask a doctor to come." ”
"Yes." Li Sheng answered loudly on the side and ran out. There is a medical hall on this street, and there is a doctor in it, and this errand is very easy to do.
Pulse? Lin Xiaozhu's heart tightened. She doesn't use internal force to change the pulse so that it takes on a vein that is in line with the wind and cold. This is a real illness and a fake disease, and you will know it at the first diagnosis. If the doctor said that she was not sick, wouldn't she be a sheep in the mouth of a tiger today, and she would be arrested and taken to Duanwang's Mansion?
Yuan Zhi's eyes kept staring coldly at Lin Xiaozhu, wanting to see if she would panic if she heard that she had to ask a doctor to check her pulse. However, what disappointed him was that Lin Xiaozhu's appearance was much calmer than just now, which had to make his judgment of himself shake. began to think: If this Lin Xiaozhu is really sick, what else can he think of to force her into the house.
When Yuan Tianye was in the capital, the reason why Yuan Zhi didn't come to force Lin Xiaozhu was that he didn't want to tear his face with Yuan Tianye. Although Yuan Tianye has no official position or position, he relies on everyone to invite him to see a doctor, and he is extremely arrogant, and he will not give face to anyone if he wants to. If Lin Xiaozhu is arrested, he is likely to make trouble regardless of it, and his father will inevitably burn the fire on himself at that time. Therefore, Yuan Zhi came today, also in line with the principle of not tearing his face, and invited Lin Xiaozhu into the house. At that time, even if Yuan Tianye comes back, there is no way to make a fuss about this matter.
didn't expect Lin Xiaozhu to say that he was sick, and he said the reason so high-sounding! If you don't want to rob it, please let her enter the house by herself, I'm afraid it will be difficult.
Yuan Zhi frowned unhappily.
Since Yuan Zhi entered the store, Shopkeeper Yu has been nervously moving. Lin Xiaozhu, but Yuan Cheng specially told him to take good care of it, and he must not make any mistakes. But he didn't expect Yuan Zhi to come to this store in person to ask for someone. It is impossible to fight hard, not to mention that the Duanwangfu is as good as a cloud, and the people of the two shops are like eggs hitting stones when they work together; is thinking that he can't expose his son's strength, and he can't fight hard. Besides, Yuan Zhi invited Lin Xiaozhu into the mansion under such an excuse, and they had no way out if they wanted to.
can look like this, Yuan Zhi must arrest Lin Xiaozhu and enter the house. What to do?
Just as the store was turning their minds, Li Sheng came in with an old doctor and said, "Lord Shizi, I invited Dr. Wu from Jishitang." ”
The old doctor, who even had a white beard, was busy giving Yuan Zhi a salute and greeting him.
Yuan Zhi waved his hand impatiently, pointed at Lin Xiaozhu and said, "Show this girl if she is sick." ”
The power is in front, even if Lin Xiaozhu doesn't want this old doctor to see a doctor, it is impossible. She had to go to a table, sit down, and hold her wrist out for the old doctor to take her pulse. In order to give the old doctor a little psychological impact, she also suppressed and coughed lightly twice, to indicate that she was suffering from a cold.
Except for Yuan Zhi and the people he brought, all the people in the store stared nervously at Lin Xiaozhu's hand, thinking about countermeasures.
The old doctor took the pulse of his right hand for a while, stroked his beard, and said, "Change your hand." ”
Lin Xiaozhu changed his hand as he said, and coughed lightly twice.
Seeing that the old doctor gave Lin Xiaozhu the pulse of his two hands, Li Sheng asked, "How is it?" ”
The old doctor bowed his hand politely, and smiled softly, "Wait a little longer." Turning his face, he called Lin Xiaozhu: "Open your mouth, I'll look at my throat." ”
Lin Xiaozhu was overjoyed. Looking at what this means, could it be that this old doctor really thinks that she has a cold? However, when she looked at the old doctor, she saw that the old doctor had a serious face, and she didn't look at her with her eyes, she only took out a bamboo piece from the medicine box, motioned her to open her mouth, and then pulled out Lin Xiaozhu's tongue and looked at it, nodded, and slowly put away the things, then stood up and turned to Yuan Zhi and said, "Lord Shizi, this girl is suffering from wind and cold. However, the condition was not very serious, and I prescribed her two doses of medicine to eat. After that, he went to the doctor's box to get a pen and paper.
When the people in the hot pot restaurant heard this, they were all overjoyed. Especially the shopkeeper Yu, half of his heart was finally put back in his stomach. The doctor was invited by Li Sheng, and what he said was credible in the eyes of Yuan Zhi and others. Then, his side also has a basis to fight, and he will not let him take Lin Xiaozhu away if he says anything. As soon as they leave, they can go back to their homes and discuss countermeasures, so that they will not be caught off guard like now.
"Are you sure?" Yuan Zhi's eyes were firmly fixed on the old doctor, and his eyes were so gloomy that they made people tremble, "Doctor Wu, you can think about this before you say it." Otherwise, the consequences are severe. ”
The old doctor's face changed greatly by Yuan Zhi's eyes, and even his beard trembled. He stretched out his hand tremblingly, and stammered to Lin Xiaozhu: "Aunt, girl, old decay, old decay will give you another pulse." ”
Whether he is sick or not, Lin Xiaozhu knows best. After practicing the kung fu taught by the old man, and taking several pills from Yuan Tianye, she has never been sick over the years, and now she is not feeling any discomfort anywhere. However, just now the old doctor helped her lie, saying that she was suffering from wind cold! If it weren't for his medical skills, there would be only one explanation - he was his own person! This entire street is Yuan Tianye's. It is not unusual for him to open a medical clinic on this street and use one of his own people as a doctor.
But looking at the old doctor's performance at this moment, she was unsure in her heart. This doctor didn't want to beg Yuan Zhi and misunderstood what he meant, so he said that she was sick, right?
In any case, there is only one gamble.
She had to hold out her hand again.
The old doctor stretched out his trembling hand and put it on her wrist, and closed his eyes slightly. However, I don't know if it was because of the panic or something else, this time he took the pulse of the old man for a long time, and he didn't speak. After a long while, when Yuan Zhi was about to get impatient, he said, "Change your hand." ”
Seeing that the old doctor finally took his hand off Lin Xiaozhu's wrist, Li Sheng finally couldn't help it, and said urgently: "How is it?" ”
