Chapter 72: Approaching

It didn't take long for Liu Zijin to hurry into the house.

Maybe it's because the temperature outside is too high. Liu Zijin's skin was slightly red, his forehead was also covered with beads of sweat, and a few strands of black hair stuck to his cheeks because of sweat, although he looked a little embarrassed, but it did not affect his elegant and elegant temperament.

When Liu Zitong saw his brother, he smiled and said, "Brother, you are sweating so profusely, but you are in a hurry on the road?" ”

The speaker was unintentional, listening intentionally, Liu Zijin's face deepened, and after a while, he replied hesitantly: "I...... I'm afraid of making Mrs. Hou wait for a long time. As he spoke, he bent over Jiang Ruonan and took the opportunity to hide his embarrassment.

Jiang Ruonan returned the salute, "I don't care, it's still early." ”

Jin Yanran knew Liu Zijin, and also stepped forward to greet him, Liu Zitong saw that his brother's face was full of sweat, so he asked Mei Xiang to fetch water to wash his face.

After Liu Zijin washed his face, the whole person looked refreshed.

Jiang Ruonan looked at him and smiled: "Imperial Doctor Liu, but you have something to ask me?" ”

At this time, Liu Zitong on the side 'interjected' and said, "Brother, do you have something to do with Mrs. Hou to talk outside, Miss Jin is here." "Although Jin Yanran is familiar with Imperial Doctor Liu. But after all, it is an unmarried girl, and it is always inconvenient to be in the same room with a man for a long time.

Liu Zijin understood his intentions and hurriedly invited Jiang Ruonan to go outside.

The outer 'door' and window are wide open, facing the courtyard, and there are many maids and wives waiting for them, so Jiang Ruonan and Liu Zijin have no problem even if they stay alone in the outer room.

Outside the window, there was a slight laughter of the maids and the never-ending sound of "knowing" on the tree, although it was a little noisy, but somehow, Liu Zijin's heart did not feel irritable at all, but there was a faint joy.

The two sat across a small table across from each other, and soon a maid served tea.

Jiang Ruonan first apologized to him: "Two days ago, because of the queen mother's reward, I was busy entering the palace to thank me and worship my ancestors, so I didn't come as promised, and I asked Imperial Doctor Liu not to be surprised." ”

Liu Zijin shook his head and said: "Mrs. Hou is polite, Mrs. Hou can come over and feel 'excited' enough, how dare you blame Mrs.?" Naturally, he wouldn't tell her that he had taken a day off that day and was waiting for her at home.

Just, what is the reason? Is it really because of asking about gua sha? He didn't dare to think deeply.

"It's just that when I saw that the effect of gua sha was magical, I wanted to ask my wife for advice or two."

Jiang Ruonan smiled slightly, and praised in his heart, he is really studious!

"In fact, gua sha is very simple, and it is even easier for Dr. Liu, who is familiar with the 'acupoints' and meridians around the human body, and if there is any disease, just scrape the meridian 'acupoints' corresponding to the symptoms." Then he used Liu Zitong's illness as an example.

Liu Zijin is naturally clear at one point.

"I just don't know what the strength of the technique is?" Liu Zijin has been obsessed with medicine since he was a child. In addition, he has a father who is 'fine' in medical skills, so he can become the imperial doctor of the Tai Hospital at a young age, and when he heard Jiang Ruonan talk about this, he put all his thoughts on medicine.

Jiang Ruonan thought about it, rolled his eyes a few times and didn't find a suitable word to describe it, so he said, "Doctor Liu, you stretch out your hand!" ”

Without thinking, Liu Zijin stretched out his left hand, palm up.

saw Jiang Ruonan take out the copper coin from his body, lean forward slightly, hold the copper coin in his hand, and gently scrape it a few times in his palm.

The cold copper coin gently scraped his palm, bringing a tingling sensation, Liu Zijin was caught off guard and his whole body froze because of Jiang Ruonan's sudden approach, and his left hand trembled uncontrollably.

A vague fragrance slowly lingered around him, and the noisy sounds around him seemed to disappear in an instant, while Jiang Ruonan's voice on the other side became extremely clear, as if it could reach the bottom of his heart.

These are the most common techniques...... As for the strength, just this feeling is fine until the red mark is scratched......"

The voice was very soft, and when I heard it in my ears, it was like a hand caressing his heart. An indescribable beauty.

He couldn't help but raise his head to look at her, but saw that her face was not far from him, she lowered her head slightly, looked at his hand with a focused expression, her long eyelashes drooped low, trembling gently, and her cheeks revealed a very healthy pink 'color', which seemed to her skin was powdery, and people couldn't help but want to reach out and 'touch' a 'touch', her lips 'lips' were closed one by one, and the plump 'lips' petals were like pink 'flower' petals, moist, watery, and had a lustre

People can't help it, can't help but think......

Liu Zijin only felt that the 'chest' was hot, and his body seemed to be hot

"Doctor Liu, are you hot? Lots of sweat in the palms. ”

On the other side, she suddenly raised her head and met his eyes.

The eyes like black gems were as clear as the sunlight that was projected from outside the door, forming a magnificent light that crashed straight into his heart.

At that moment, it seemed that something spread rapidly in his body, filling every corner of his body, full of rising sensations, as if he couldn't even breathe,

As an adult, he naturally knows what this is all about

He looked at her in a daze, and she stood in the light with a smile in front of him, while he had slowly sunk into the darkness......

"Imperial Physician Liu. You...... What's wrong with you? What's the problem? Jiang Ruonan felt that his expression was so strange!

Liu Zijin stood up with a "hoof", and his face suddenly became ugly, "Mrs. Hou...... Suddenly, I suddenly remembered that there were still some things that had not been dealt with in the hospital, and I had to rush over immediately! After speaking, without waiting for Jiang Ruonan's answer, he turned around and left the hall, and rushed out of Liu Zitong's courtyard in a few steps.

Jiang Ruonan looked at him and ran out as if he was burning his buttocks, completely losing his former elegance and calmness, and thought, it seems that this matter in the Tai Hospital is very serious!

As soon as Liu Zijin left, Jiang Ruonan and Jin Yanran did not stay for long, and after the two said goodbye to Mrs. Liu, they took the carriage and walked back.

In the carriage, Jin Yanran was at first like when she came, when Jiang Ruonan was air, she didn't say a word. But when the carriage drove out of the lane and turned onto the avenue, the body was upside down, and Jin Yanran involuntarily fell forward, if it wasn't for Jiang Ruonan who helped her in time, I was afraid that she would roll onto the car board.

After Jin Yanran sat down again, she turned her head and glanced at Jiang Ruonan. Said softly, "Thank you." ”

Jiang Ruonan smiled: "We are a family, don't be so polite!" ”

Jin Yanran was silent for a while, and then said: "The little sister-in-law is also a family with the sister-in-law, can you ask the sister-in-law to be better to her in the future?" ”

Jiang Ruonan smiled again, "Sister-in-law, you always think that I bullied her, but think about it, when did I ask too much of her, did I ever stop your brother from going to her?" Have I ever provoked her? If you think about it carefully, you will find that every dispute I have with her is provoked by her first......" Seeing that Jin Yanran wanted to refute, Jiang Ruonan hurriedly intercepted her. frowned and said: "Don't tell me about the burn last time, if you still blindly believe her, I have nothing to say!" ”

Jin Yanran lowered her head, twisted the corners of her clothes unconsciously with her hands, and after a while, she said: "Last time, I can't figure out which of you is right and who is wrong, but I know that Sister-in-law Qiuyue must be very bitter in her heart" Speaking ......of this, she turned her head and glanced at her, "Jiang Ruolan, you can't deny that you hurt her first." Even if you let her go, it's not too much! ”

Jiang Ruonan snorted coldly: "I'm afraid that if I let her take one step, she will take three steps forward, and who will speak for me then?" ”

Jin Yanran hurriedly turned around and grabbed her sleeve: "No, Sister-in-law Qiuyue is not this kind of person!" ”

Jiang Ruonan turned his head to look at her childish face, and sneered: "Sister-in-law, I really don't understand, why are you helping her so much?" ”

Jin Yanran slowly let go of her sleeves, turned around, and said in a low voice: "I'm not helping her, I just don't want my brother to work hard because of you!" She lowered her head, stared at the plum 'flowers' embroidered on the handkerchief, and said softly, "You know what? It's not easy for my brother to have today, after the death of my father, my father's political enemies found a reason, played the first emperor, and withdrew my father's old department, and when my brother came back, everything was already a thing, and we had the most silent moments in the Marquis of Anyuan's mansion......"

Hearing this, Jiang Ruonan couldn't help but wonder: "Didn't you say that the relationship between the Hou Ye and the emperor is not ordinary?" It seems that Hou Ye used to be his companion! ”

Jin Yanran sneered: "Sister-in-law, you don't understand this, it's all a matter of childhood." My brother is close to the emperor who is still the prince, and that is also because of his father, people go to tea and cool, plus my brother has been filial piety for three years, and someone around the emperor will take his brother's place. ”

"That's why Master Hou volunteered to go to the western battlefield to quell the 'chaos'?"

Jin Yanran nodded: "Brother said, I want my mother to be respected by everyone before, and I want to let me marry in a beautiful way, so that I will not be wronged to an ordinary small family, although I was young back then, I could understand, he knelt in front of his mother before going to the battlefield and said every word." ”

Speaking of this, Jin Yanran's eyes were slightly red.

"There is a half-foot-long scar on my brother's left rib, my brother almost died because of it, in addition to this wound, there are countless wounds on his body, large and small, everyone is a young hero of Anyuanhou, but who knows, these are all brothers who fought with their lives?"

At this, her voice was a little choked

"At that time, when I knew that Sister-in-law Qiuyue was going to marry my brother, I was really happy, Sister-in-law Qiuyue was not only beautiful, but also gentle and virtuous, knowledgeable, and the most suitable for my brother, I thought that my brother was going to live a happy life from now on, but I didn't expect ......" She glanced at Jiang Ruonan, implying blame.

Jiang Ruonan listened attentively, didn't care about her blame, and thought in his heart, this Jin Shaokang is still good to his family.

Jin Yanran sighed: "The matter has come to this point, it is useless to say anything, I also know that you really like your brother, if you really want your brother's good, don't embarrass Sister-in-law Qiuyue in the future, you make trouble in the back house, and my brother will not be comfortable!" As for Sister-in-law Qiuyue, her status is not as good as yours, so she will not pose a threat to you! ”

"I've never felt sorry for her, whether you believe it or not! And don't worry, from now on, as long as she doesn't mess with me, I won't pay attention to her anymore. ”

Hou Mansion will only be her residence in the future, not her home, in order to survive better, she must eliminate all threats, but now she is no longer the helpless Jiang Ruolan before, no matter how much Yu Qiuyue is favored by Jin Shaokang, she can't threaten her, and Yu Qiuyue is not a fool, she shouldn't dare to trouble her easily, since this is the case, she doesn't bother to pay attention to her!

As for how long the Queen Mother can protect her? She believes that she will always find a solution. Either way, it's better than sharing a man with other 'women'.

Jin Yanran didn't say anything more after receiving a satisfactory answer, and at this time, the carriage suddenly stopped.

Jiang Ruonan asked out loud, "What's the matter?" ”

Outside, Yingxue replied: "Madam, it seems that the carriage in front of you hit someone, and the family stopped there." The whole street is blocked, and there is no way to get through. ”

When Jin Yanran heard it, she curiously lifted the curtain of the car, quietly looked out, looked at it for a while, and then said "Huh", "Is it Miss Xu's carriage?" ”

"Which Miss Xu?" I have to say that there are so many noble 'female' ladies in the imperial city, and you can bump into one wherever you go.

"Isn't it the sister of the lady? Relying on the lady concubine to be favored, she is the most arrogant on weekdays, but I don't know who I bumped into today, but I was blocked! After speaking, she turned her head and looked at Jiang Ruonan and said, "Sister-in-law, why don't we go down and take a look, this Xu Wanqing I have seen her unpleasant earlier, and it is good to see her ugly and deflated today!" ”

This is exactly what Jiang Ruonan wants, it is rare to have a lively look, how can she miss it, but she said quietly: "No, if your brother knows, he will use the 'female' Analects to discipline me again!" ”

Jin Yanran lowered her head and pouted, "If you don't say it, I don't say it, how will my brother know?" ”

Jiang Ruonan smiled slightly, didn't say anything more, and the two put on their hats and got out of the car, walked through the crowd, and walked to the front. Behind him was the maid. The crowd of onlookers saw that they were all noble, and they all gave way to the side.

The two looked into the field, only to see Miss Xu's carriage stopped in front of several big men dressed as farmers, all of them with strong anger on their faces, and then a peasant 'woman' holding a five or six-year-old child wailing and crying, the child in her arms had a face like gold paper, her eyes were closed, she was unconscious, and there were many blood stains on her body, and it seemed that the injury was not light.

Jin Yanran leaned into Jiang Ruonan's ear and whispered: "It won't be a fatality, look at that child's ......" There was pity in her voice.

At this time, the coachman in the carriage whipped the nearest farmer, and shouted fiercely: "Don't you get out of the way, and don't see whose carriage it is, and dare to stop it, and don't die?" ”

The whip 'whipped' on the farmer's face immediately showed a blood mark, the farmer's forehead was bruised, his hands clenched into fists, he was very angry, but still patient, he pointed at the coachman and said angrily: "Obviously your carriage hit my son, do you want to pat your ass and leave?" This is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, depending on what your identity is, there is no such reason! Either you find a doctor to treat my son, or accompany us with money, or you don't want to leave today!" The two farmers next to him chimed in.

The coachman obviously didn't pay attention to these people, he waved his whip and sneered: "It turns out that he wants to cheat the silver!" Let me tell you, there is no one, obviously the little rabbit cub rushed out by himself, who was hit and complained, you want to catch us as the wronged leader, and don't ask who our young lady is? ”

When the surrounding onlookers heard this, they couldn't help but let out a burst of dissatisfaction

"It's obvious that the carriage is on a rampage, and the child can't avoid it!"

"That's it, I saw it too, isn't this talking nonsense with my eyes open?"

"Shhh, you be quiet, it's Miss Xu Fu sitting in this carriage, and you can bear it when she hears it!"

"Miss Xufu, ......"

When everyone heard that it was the young lady of the Xu Mansion, they were immediately silenced.
