Xie Lingtai bounced up from the bed, and in a hurry, he almost tripped over himself. He walked too quickly, Suo Qiu was left behind by him, and when he entered the small courtyard from a distance, Suo Qiu hesitated in place for a moment, then turned around and went in the other direction.

Xie Lingtai saw that Lin Tianqing's door was closed, and there was no maid outside the door, so it was a little inappropriate to break in rashly, but there was a faint moan of pain from inside the door, so Xie Lingtai didn't have time to think about it, so he could only push the door and enter.

Fu'an was half-kneeling in front of Lin Tianqing's bed, holding her hand anxiously, and when he saw Xie Lingtai's figure, he hurriedly said, "Doctor Xie is coming, Miss has heart palpitations again." ”

Xie Lingtai hurriedly ran to the bedside, only to see Lin Tianqing curled up into a small ball, his hands clutching the clothes on his chest, his forehead and neck were covered with cold sweat, and his lips were pale.

Fu'an had already melted a pill with hot water, but she had little strength, so she couldn't make Lin Tianqing open her mouth to drink the medicine.

"Miss Qing? Miss Haru? Xie Lingtai called a few times, only to see Lin Tianqing open her eyes and look at him in a daze, she let go of the hand that was holding her shirt tightly, and instead held Xie Lingtai's hand, the spring light on her chest was half-transparent.

Xie Lingtai hurriedly looked away, "Come!" He helped Lin Tianqing up, and let her lean on his chest, he carefully clamped Lin Tianqing's jaw, so that Fu'an could feed Lin Tianqing medicine spoonful by spoonful.

This bowl of medicine was fed and fed, and when Xiao Chen hurriedly came, there was still a small half bowl left.

As soon as Xiao Chen entered the door, he saw Lin Tianqing lying in Xie Lingtai's arms in disheveled clothes, if it weren't for her pale face and Fu'an still kneeling beside the bed, Xiao Chen was afraid that he would take Xie Lingtai down on the spot.

The discomfort in her heart was revealed on her face, Xie Lingtai's heart jumped, and he hurriedly asked Lin Tianqing, who had taken the medicine, to lie down, and ordered: "I'll decoct the medicine first, the medicine will spill a lot, and you have changed the wet clothes for the young lady." ”

He turned to Xiao Chen and said, "Madame atoned for her sins, and the matter was urgent, so I did this act of trespassing." ”

Xiao Chen was silent for a moment, and then said slowly: "It's expedient, Doctor Xie hasn't done anything wrong, and most of the heavens and the earth are not as important as Qing'er's body." ”

Her tone was calm, but it inexplicably made Xie Lingtai feel a chill down his spine, he nodded, and went out to work.

Xiao Chen helped Fu'an change Lin Tianqing into dry clothes, walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, glanced at Fu'an, and said, "Why are you the only one, and the other people who are waiting?" ”

Fu'an lowered his head and said, "Suoqiu went to invite Doctor Xie, but I don't know where to go now." ”

"Suo Qiu is quite clever, and after inviting Dr. Xie, he went to invite me. Could it be that you are the only one in this yard with you and Suo Qiu? While Xiao Chen said this, he saw Lin Tianqing's eyelashes trembling uneasily.

"Fu'an, your memory is really not very good. It's so cold now, it's not as comfortable as kneeling in the yard last time. Xiao Chen saw that Fu'an couldn't make up a suitable reason when he opened his mouth, so he said, "That's it, you go out to help Doctor Xie." ”

Fu'an heard the amnesty, but before leaving, he looked at Lin Tianqing's sleeping face uneasily. As everyone knows, it was this worried look that saved her from being sold.

Xiao Chen touched Lin Tianqing's face, no matter whether she was really asleep or fake asleep now, this cold face couldn't be faked, Xiao Chen took pity on her for being tortured by illness, only sighed softly, and put Lin Tianqing's hand back in the quilt.

Xiao Chen took care of Lin Tianqing's bedside all night, and Wei's mother persuaded her for a long time before she decided to go back to her room to rest. As soon as he went out, he saw Xie Lingtai sitting on a small pestle by the door with a sleepy expression.

"Doctor Xie?" Mother Wei was surprised: "Why are you sitting here?" ”

Xie Lingtai stood up, looking a little confused, and said, "If Miss Qing drinks the medicine and sleeps peacefully within two hours, this illness will be considered over." I'll just wait here. ”

Xiao Chen stroked the handkerchief in his hand and said, "Doctor Xie has worked hard. Then he turned to Wei's mother and said, "Tell the people in Dr. Xie's courtyard to prepare breakfast." ”

"Thank you, ma'am, I want to go and give Miss Qing another pulse." Xie Lingtai said.

With such a proper approach, how could Xiao Chen not allow it? She saw Xie Lingtai walk into Lin Tianqing's boudoir, with a troubled look on her face.

Xiao Chen and Wei's mother returned to the courtyard wordlessly, Wei's mother looked at Xiao Chen's face, and said thoughtfully, "What is Madam going to do?" ”

"What else can I do, I see that this Qing'er's body is inseparable from him, if it can be a pair, it is not too bad, after all, this Doctor Xie is still from a famous family, although it is not as good as us, but it can still be seen."

Xiao Chen smiled self-deprecatingly, "It's a pity that this matter is not entirely up to me, if I mention it to the master, the old lady, and the old lady, I don't know what I will be scolded for." ”

Mother Wei said: "This is not necessarily, the old lady has seen Dr. Xie many times, and the slave and maid seem to be quite satisfied." No matter what Dr. Xie said, he also saved the young lady's life, and her character and appearance are very good. ”

Xiao Chen nodded thoughtfully and said, "I'll discuss it with my husband first." ”

……

The days are cold day by day, and there are no plum blossoms planted in the Song Zhi courtyard, so in early winter, the yard is bare, and the tea rhyme and tea fragrance want to hang some lantern ribbons or something on the treetops, and look at it to be more festive.

However, Song Zhi thought it was cheesy and cumbersome, and only felt that the dead wood and rotten trees in the yard were like the residual lotus on the surface of the lake, with such a mournful and pure beauty.

The maids all changed into thick winter clothes, because in winter, the people of the Lin Mansion each rewarded two catties of cotton, and the maids in the outer courtyard who did not sign the death deed got these two catties of cotton, and they hurriedly sent them to their families outside.

Naturally, the water chestnut was also shared, but she didn't know what to do with the cotton.

"You can make shoes, clothes, and bedding." Seeing that the water chestnut was still stunned, he thought for a while and said, "I forgot, you probably won't do this." ”

"If the cotton is not used, take it to the big kitchen in the outer courtyard and exchange it for snacks. The ear crisp you like is Zhao's mother's specialty dish in the outer courtyard, she has a lot of family, and the more cotton, the better. Song Zhi's lazy voice sounded, and when it came to his ears, he only felt that even the sound was sweet.

"Miss, how can you teach water chestnuts to teach each other privately?" Moon by month snorted.

"What kind of private teaching is this?" Song Zhi covered his mouth and yawned slightly, "I'm just teaching water chestnuts to make the best use of them." ”

"Did the master sneak up and read a book again last night?" The water chestnut pierced mercilessly, and the meteor laughed, "Miss, now even the water chestnut knows that you will get up in the middle of the night to read." ”

Song Zhi pursed his lips, put the quilt together, and said, "I just read half of last night's words, and I always want to finish reading it." ”

Water chestnut has been practicing martial arts since childhood, and never felt cold, but when he saw a charcoal basin at Song Zhi's feet, a stove in his hand, and wrapped like a snow ball, he felt a little confused.

"Is it really that cold?" The water chestnut tilted his head and asked.

"It's not that cold, it's just warmer and more comfortable." Song Zhi looked at her flushed face and was very envious.

"Don't just stand stupid, come and help." Meteor said to the water chestnut, she was unfolding the auspicious dress sent by Siyuntang, which was the one that Song Zhi was going to wear on his birthday.

Because Song Zhi's birthday was five days later, Xiaozhu was afraid that one person would not be able to finish it, so he asked the other two embroiderers of Siyuntang to embroider together.

"Was this material sent by the prince?" The water chestnut touched the skirt of this auspicious dress, and always felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

"So you can see it? The eyes are very good. Meteor took the incense burner and placed it under the auspicious clothes, intending to let the fragrance sink into the fabric little by little.

The water chestnut leaned into Meteor's ear and whispered a few words, and the obviously suppressed laughter of the two reached Song Zhi's ears.

Song Zhi pretended to be displeased and said, "What are you two laughing at?" ”

The water chestnut looked a little sly and said, "Does Miss really want to know?" ”

Song Zhi nodded without thinking, her simple action made the water chestnut stunned.

The water chestnut said: "I once saw the prince of the world wearing a dark auspicious clothes, which is also the same material, but the dye used is different." It is estimated that these are all selected from the private treasury of the former princess. ”

Song Zhi blinked, her eyes were shining, but she was not shy, but she had never seen Shen Baiyan wear dark colors, and she couldn't help but imagine it in her mind.

Meteor opened the bronze iron, put the red-hot charcoal in it, and then pulled the sleeve of the auspicious dress by the water chestnut and began to iron it.

"Huh!" Meteor slid all the way over with the iron, and the water chestnut should have let go, but she didn't let go, "How is it, is it hot?" ”

Meteor hurriedly put the iron on the water tray and said anxiously and angrily: "Why are you so stupid, don't you know how to let go?!" ”

Zhuyue and Song Zhi also hurriedly walked over to inspect, "Is it hot?" ”

I saw the water chestnut looking down and pinching the sleeve of his shirt and shaking his head, raising his head and saying, "There is something in this sleeve." ”

Song Zhi took the sleeve and pinched it, there was really a thin stick-like thing in it that was neither hard nor soft, and it seemed to be carefully sewn inside.

Meteor brought a box of burn cream and pulled out a handful of small scissors with sharp tips month by month. She picked up her sleeve, glanced at it, and said, "The sleeve has been torn off." ”

Moon by month leaned in with small scissors and carefully pinched out the things hidden in his sleeves.

It turned out to be a finely rolled roll of paper.

Month by month, he handed the paper scroll to Song Zhi, only to see Song Zhi unfold it, his brows furrowed more and more, as if he had smelled something extremely disgusting.

A moment later, Song Zhi tore the thin piece of paper.

"Little, miss?" The other three were at a loss for what to do, and asked month by month, "What is written on this paper?" ”

Song Zhi loosened his brows and scolded angrily: "It's full of despicability and self-inflicted affection!" ”
