Chapter 53: Quid pro quo
Back in the Xia Mansion, the mansion had already had dinner, and An Sheng went straight back to his courtyard.
There was no sound in the courtyard, An Sheng called twice, and the Dragon Boat Festival pushed open the door and came out of An Sheng's boudoir, his eyes were red and swollen, his face was full of tears, and his right cheek was obviously red.
An Sheng sighed in his heart, and then sank, his first thought was that Xue Xiuliang's shameless and despicable guy must have been here.
"What's wrong with you?" She anxiously asked, "But who made you angry?" ”
The Dragon Boat Festival was deflated, and the tears were like beads with broken threads, "fluttering" down.
"Is that bastard Xue Xiuliang here? Didn't I tell you that when he comes, don't be polite, just drive him out with a stick? ”
Dragon Boat shook his head and choked up, "No." ”
"Not? What's going on here? Hurry up! ”
Dragon Boat Festival held back her tears and whispered, "It's the third lady who has just come." ”
"Xia Ziwu? What did she come to do? ”
She suspected that the strange illness she had some time ago might have been something that the young lady had done secretly, so she took Changjing over and rummaged through the house, but when she found nothing, she interrogated the maid. The servant didn't know anything, so she threatened me to say that she wanted to go back to her to be a good student and a teacher. ”
When An Sheng heard this, he immediately became angry, he knew that he was showing his edge in Xia Zixian's yard yesterday, and it might arouse her suspicion when it was passed on to Xia Ziwu, but she didn't know what to do, she didn't have a handle, she wouldn't act rashly, she didn't expect to take advantage of her absence, and run to the yard so arrogantly to make a fortune.
An Sheng immediately twisted his body: "I went to find her to reason with my father, now that you are my person, I can't teach her a lesson." ”
Seeing her angry, the Dragon Boat Festival stepped forward in three steps and two steps, and grabbed her sleeve: "Miss, the master is not in the house, you go at this time, isn't that asking for hardship?" ”
"Then you can't swallow your anger like this, and let her ride on my head! I'm leaving her to pick up my stuff for nothing? ”
An Sheng was angry, listening to the ringing outside the courtyard, someone asked in a soft voice through the weeping flower door: "Who provoked the second sister's temperament?" ”
It's Xia Zixian. She's been quite affectionate with herself lately.
An Sheng snorted coldly in his heart, and he didn't give any good face when he saw Xia Zixian.
"Naturally, someone deceives people too much."
Xia Zixian turned through the moon gate like a willow in the wind, and asked An Sheng with a concerned face, "What's wrong?" Is it not going well to study medicine today? Reprimanded by the cold god doctor? ”
An Sheng shook his head: "I didn't say a word to him today, where did I get angry?" But it's true that I've memorized the name for a day, and I'm upset and irritable. ”
This answer made Xia Zixian both dissatisfied and very satisfied: "Studying medicine is indeed boring, and it is gradual, it cannot be achieved overnight, and people who are not determined cannot bear it, and it is not suitable for the impatient temperament of the second sister." My sister is also really curious, why do you suddenly want to study medicine? Is it possible to be a female Hua Tuo? ”
An Sheng smiled casually: "I just thought that the people in the house had a headache and brain fever, so I didn't have to bother to ask a doctor, where is the ambition?" ”
Xia Zixian covered her lips and smiled: "I thought you were greedy for the alluring jade color in the medicine house?" ”
The words seem to be heart-to-heart jokes, but they contain a very strong temptation.
An Sheng raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Alluring jade? What do you mean? ”
Xia Zixian's eyes flashed with the meaning of narrowness: "Doesn't the second sister know? The cold doctor can be known as the reputation of snow clothes and medicine hands in the city, and it is the wishful husband that many girls in Beijing dream of. ”
An Sheng looked serious and said seriously: "How could the fourth sister think like this? Could it be that you don't have any thoughts about the cold god doctor? Otherwise, how can you care so much about the matter of the cold divine doctor? ”
Xia Zixian was broken by An Sheng's words, smiled, and covered up: "How come?" My sister just cares about my sister. You have worked so hard for me, I am sorry not to go. I hate that I can't help anything, so I want to get up early to make two snacks for my sister, and my sister will bring me lunch, so good? ”
It turned out that he had made this calculation, Xiang Zhuang danced the sword, which was intended for Pei Gong, An Sheng sneered in his heart, how could he not understand her true intentions?
She didn't refuse, and readily agreed: "I can't ask for it, but I'm worried that your body can't stand it." ”
Xia Zixian smiled very gently: "Zixian is very pleased to be able to do a little bit for my sister." ”
An Sheng sighed with emotion: "You and the third sister are biological sisters, how can there be a world of difference in temperament?" ”
Xia Zixian covered her lips and smiled: "It turned out that the third sister was in trouble, which made the second sister angry." ”
An Sheng snorted coldly from the end of his nose: "Ziwu is doing ridiculous things, and she is about to ask her mother to be the master, but she is afraid that her mother will listen to her words and be biased." ”
"What's the matter? Can the second sister say that she knows with her sister? ”
An Sheng was angry, and he did not hide the Dragon Boat Festival, and told Xia Zixian truthfully.
"Although the relationship between the Dragon Boat Festival and my master and servant is still shallow, she is also the maid of our inner house. My cousin didn't really want to marry, but he just had the intention of playing. If something ugly really happens and spreads it, no one's face is good-looking, to put it mildly, it is because our sisters are not strict enough in disciplining people, and it is too serious, and it is effective to go up and down, and it is because our Xia family is not well-behaved. Now the sisters are at the age of marriage, and they are also looked down upon by others. ”
An Sheng only said a few words, but it was the finishing touch, Xia Zixian suddenly woke up to the stakes, and said angrily: "Why is the third sister so confused? You can rest assured that this matter is wrapped up in my sister, and I definitely can't let my cousin do anything wrong and ruin our reputation. ”
An Sheng nodded solemnly, his face full of gratitude: "Thank you, sister, don't worry, my sister will do her best to learn this acupuncture technique and cure my sister's stubborn disease." ”
Xia Zixian smiled far-fetched, the corners of her lips couldn't help twitching, and she asked a few words about Leng Nanxian in a roundabout way, and when she saw that An Sheng didn't know what to ask, she left in disappointment.
An Sheng stayed up almost all night, going through those acupoints in his mind thousands of times, and waited until the sky was about to dawn before he fell asleep.
When I got up the next day, I felt dizzy and sleepy, and I couldn't keep up my spirits. Rummaging out the peppermint oil and smearing it on the temples, yawning and leaving the house, Xia Zixian was already waiting at the door of the mansion, carrying a vermilion lacquer food box in her hand, seeing An Sheng stepped forward with a smile, handed the food box to her, and reluctantly sent her to the carriage, Yin Yin advised.
Qianzhou was looking at the direction of An Sheng's coming at the door of the medicine house, and when he saw An Sheng's carriage, he greeted him, smiling all over his face.
"Miss Ansheng, are you here?"
An Sheng handed the food box out of the car first, and when the curtain was lifted, Qianzhou was gone.
An Sheng shook his head helplessly and smiled, got out of the carriage, sent Uncle Wang away, pushed the door into the medicine house, Qianzhou had already unceremoniously opened the food box, brought out the snacks inside, and placed them on the stone table.
"Childe, it's time for breakfast." Qianzhou rubbed his hands excitedly and shouted at the back room.
An Sheng smiled: "You will borrow flowers to offer Buddha." ”
Qianzhou put the porridge in place, laid out the dishes, and smiled: "I'm also here to help you please Gongzi, you know." ”
An Sheng and Qianzhou fought a few times, and they became familiar with it, and quipped: "I'm curious about how you won the favor of your son and left yours?" ”
"Me?" Qianzhou pointed to his nose: "My relationship with my son is long-term, don't think about comparison." ”
Ansheng knew his careful eye, so he was not competitive, only smiling and not talking.
Leng Nanxian walked out of the room, walked briskly and sat down, carefully wiped the chopsticks with a handkerchief, glanced at the stone table, glanced at An Sheng with a somewhat strange face, and then picked up an osmanthus rice cake, just put it on the end of his nose, frowned slightly, and threw it back on the plate. changed to a crystal soup dumpling, but it was still not put to his lips, so he threw it back with a disgusted face and put aside the chopsticks.
An Sheng looked inexplicable, and asked cautiously, "What's the matter, Master Leng, is it not to your taste?" ”
Leng Nanxian picked up the rice porridge, scooped it slowly and methodically, and asked unhappily: "Who made these dim sum?" ”
An Sheng was inexplicable, and said truthfully: "Today's apprentice got up late, and it was Zixian, the fourth sister in the house, who deliberately got up early in the morning to make a snack and asked An Sheng to bring it for breakfast." ”
"Fourth sister? Is it the daughter who went to the house the day before yesterday? ”
An Sheng nodded.
Leng Nanxian slightly hooked the corners of his lips, and there was a hint of sarcasm.
"You sisters are very affectionate."
