"Master Xuan, do you want me to find examples of other men taking Ejiao?" Sanniang looked at Xuan Shao and said leisurely.

Xuan Shao was a little embarrassed when he heard this, thinking that he was indeed a little childish when he pretended to be asleep just now, and he didn't want Sanniang to say anything, so he stood up and was about to come and take the bowl in Bai Ying's hand.

"I'm afraid it's inconvenient for you to drink it yourself, let Bai Ying feed you." Sanniang frowned.

"No, you don't." He took the bowl in Bai Ying's hand with his right hand, leaned sideways, and drank it without saying a word. The action is smooth, and the slightest drag is gone.

"That Eight Treasures Pill actually has this effect? Xuan Gongzi, you seem to be in a lot more energetic. Isn't there anything wrong with just starting to work so quickly? Sanniang looked at Xuan Shao's movements and asked.

"No, it won't." Xuan Shao said lightly, and then explained: "It was refined by Imperial Physician Jiang, and there is nothing wrong with it." ”

Sanniang didn't say it anymore, she couldn't question the skills of her master.

"You will rest here tonight, in order not to make people suspicious that I sleep on the couch over there, you just have to keep it in peace." Sanniang pointed to the simple Huanghuali cool road by the window.

Xuan Shao looked in the direction Sanniang pointed, was silent for a while, and said, "I'll sleep on the couch." ”

Sanniang smiled slightly: "If you tear the wound in this move, don't you have to help you clean it up?" Besides, sleeping on the window is much cooler than sleeping on this airtight bed in the summer, and I also sleep long at home. ”

Xuan Shao was silent for a moment and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry." ”

Sanniang didn't say much, only smiled, and turned around and went to the couch.

Bai Ying looked around, and when she saw the Huanghuali embroidered screen in the corner, her eyes lit up. Without saying a word, he went to move the screen and blocked it on the outside of the cool collapse. Sanniang saw her sweating profusely. She smiled and handed her a handkerchief to wipe her face.

Bai Ying took the handkerchief and didn't wipe her face. First, I went around to the outside of the screen, and when I saw that the screen was straightened, it would cover the end of the cool collapse, and half of it was not exposed, so I couldn't help but nod with satisfaction, and then I lifted the handkerchief to wipe the fine sweat off my face.

"Miss, the slave maid will lay the floor here today." Bai Ying pointed to the gap between the cool collapse and the screen.

Sanniang knew that Bai Ying was protecting her, and it was not against her will, so she only said: "Don't look at the hot weather, after all, it is cold at night." Make an extra mattress. so that the cold air entered the body and became sick. ”

Bai Ying happily agreed, turned around and went to get the futon and other things, and made the bed for Sanniang and herself.

I had to wait for the lights to go out. Lie down on the couch. Sanniang originally thought that she must not be able to fall asleep easily, and she didn't want to fall asleep after a long time. Even Bai Ying got up and added a thin quilt to her without noticing.

Early in the morning of the second day, the cheerful bird cry of "chirping" outside the window woke up Sanniang. Because he slept deeply, he was in good spirits. As soon as he stretched his waist lazily, he remembered that he was sleeping on the cold collapse now, and there was a seriously injured man lying on his bed, and he couldn't help but swallow back the yawn that was about to exit.

Look at the bright sky outside, it's not too early. I didn't dream until dawn all night.

"Bai Ying." Sanniang called softly.

After a while, the door creaked. Bai Ying walked in with a copper kettle.

"Miss, you're awake, the slave maid has just picked up the hot water from the little maid at the door, and I'm thinking of coming back to wake you up." Bai Yingli waited for Sanniang to put on the clothes that had been prepared aside, and then handed over the green salt and tea Gu for Sanniang to rinse her mouth.

"Is Xuan Gongzi awake? Is the wound better? Sanniang rinsed her mouth as little as she could make a noise and asked.

"Xuan Gongzi has gotten a lot better, and the slave maid instructed the little girl to boil another bowl of Ejiao jujube ginseng soup for him this morning." Bai Ying held back a smile, this time Xuan Gongzi didn't say a word, and drank it with a cold face.

Bai Ying wrung out the warm handkerchief and handed it to Sanniang.

"The old lady went out to look for birds with people and horses early in the morning, and the mother-in-law who went outside to listen said that the old lady had ordered her to rest in this courtyard and not leave for the time being."

Sanniang paused with her hand and continued to wipe her face.

She had expected this to happen yesterday, but it still sounded a little helpless now.

After Bai Ying helped Sanniang comb her hair, and carefully looked at her clothes, there was nothing wrong with it, so she moved the screen back to its original place.

"Bring breakfast from the kitchen, and say I want you to eat with me in the house, and let the kitchen prepare some." After a pause, he said: "At noon, let the kitchen stew some chicken soup, put some wolfberry longan and red dates, I remember that these dried fruits are all there." ”

Bai Ying answered.

Sanniang walked to the side of the bed and saw Xuan Shao opening her eyes. Sanniang smiled and nodded: "Xuan Gongzi's complexion is much better today, it seems that Ejiao is still somewhat useful." ”

A trace of helplessness flashed in Xuan Shao's eyes, and he didn't argue, but said, "I'll leave when it's darker today." ”

Sanniang thought for a while and said: "Your own body knows it in your own heart, if you are reluctant, don't be reckless, life is the first priority." ”

Xuan Shao nodded: "Okay." Although there was only one word, his face was gentle, and there seemed to be a smile in his eyes.

Sanniang saw that his attitude had already been made clear, and it was up to him whether he could go or not. Just looked at his hidden back on the inside of the bed, and said, "I forgot to wash your wound with salt water yesterday, I don't know if it will be inflamed, and I will wash it with salt water after eating later, right?" The gauze was removed again. ”

Although Xuan Shao didn't understand what "inflammation" was, it was only a new word she read from the book, and she should be worried that her wounds would fester.

"That Jin Chuangyao has a domineering effect, although it is unbearable pain when used on the wound, but the scab is extremely fast, and it was specially taken from Imperial Doctor Jiang when he came out this time. Although my wound is not shallow, there must be a scab on the outside at this moment, as long as the wound does not crack, it should not fester. Xuan Shao patiently explained.

"Wouldn't that leave a scar?" Sanniang was a little curious.

Xuan Shao paused when he heard this, looked at Sanniang's fingers, and said softly: "When I go back, I will find you jade skin cream, and I will definitely not leave a scar." ”

Sanniang followed his gaze and looked at his hand, knowing that he had misunderstood what he meant, but he didn't explain much, and only smiled: "Okay, then Xuan Gongzi has to heal his injuries first." ”

The two stopped talking, and remained silent in the room. But neither of them felt that there was anything embarrassing about this kind of cold field, Sanniang walked to the table and poured a cup of tea that was still warm in the small teacup, took it up and drank it slowly, waiting for Bai Ying to bring breakfast in.

Suddenly, the door was pushed open and closed, and Bai Ying ran in with an anxious face.

Sanniang frowned, got up and asked, "What's the alarm?" ”

"Miss, the mother-in-law guarding the door came in to report that a group of officials were searching outside for a Jiangyang thief who had escaped with injuries and had already searched our street, and it was about to be our turn in this house. Could it be ...... person they want to arrest" Bai Ying glanced at Xuan Shao on the bed.

Sanniang was shocked when she heard this, turned her head to look at Xuan Shao, saw him frowning, and then looked up as well, her eyes were as calm and cold as ever.

"I'll leave now." Xuan Shao stretched out his hand to support his body, wanting to sit up, which would definitely pull the wound, but he didn't frown.

"Wait." Sanniang stopped his movements, turned her head and asked Bai Ying: "Since it is a search, in order to prevent the object of the search from escaping, there must be people guarding the alleys on both sides, right?" ”

Bai Ying thought for a while and nodded: "I heard that there is movement in the houses on both sides of the street, as if they were searched from two directions. ”

Sanniang looked at Xuan Shao and said: "It must be too late for you to leave now, this street is guarded by officials, and presumably other streets are not much better." You're injured again, and you won't be able to go far. ”

"Miss, what now? If someone finds out that a man is hiding in your room, that's not fun! Bai Ying was a little anxious.

Sanniang groaned: "I have my own measure, if I can't stop you, I will go out of the window again." The latter sentence is said to Xuan Shao.

It's all searched here, if Xuan Shao is caught and the government seriously investigates it, does she still want to get out of this house?

Xuan Shao looked at Sanniang seriously and said, "Okay." ”

If he held on to his breath, he still had the ability to escape from this courtyard, and he would not have dragged her down.

"How many people did grandfather take out? How many more are in this house? Sanniang turned her head and asked Bai Yingdao.

The old lady went out with a dozen retinues. Li Da and the others who came from home with us stayed in the house, and there should be seventeen or eighteen nursing homes. ”

"Let Li Da send a few people to inquire on both sides, report the name of the Wang family, and see what they say. In addition, the fifth young master was called to the front hall, he was a man, the elders were not there, and he was free to come forward if there was something at home, and let Li Da follow the young master. ”

If it is the government of Shandong Province, it should be able to sell the face of the Wang family. Naturally, this kind of thing is a matter of public tightness and laxity, and there is no such thing as fairness.

Bai Ying hurriedly went.

Sanniang continued to pick up the tea that had been cooled and sipped it gently.

"Are you afraid?"

Sanniang looked at Xuan Shao, and saw that he was looking at herself seriously, and couldn't help blinking: "It's okay." ”

In fact, she has always been wise to protect herself, and rarely puts herself in real danger. The reason why she is willing to help Xuan Shao is not only because she doesn't want to see death or save her, but also because from the content of the map she drew last time and this incident, she has some vague guesses about Xuan Shao's identity, so she wants to sell him a big favor in order to report later. In this world, she has too few manpower to rely on, and Xuan Shao, through several contacts, makes her feel that this person can be trusted.

Nothing can be obtained for nothing, and what you want to get, you must have to pay accordingly. I once read a book that said that interpersonal relationships other than parents are a kind of exchange relationship, and if you want to maintain it equally, you have to exchange corresponding things, including marriage relations, but marriage is exchanged for feelings, or material, or sex.
