Chapter 12: Hunger

It's been a week since the Lantern Festival.

Su Jinxi studied hard every day and read at night. Sometimes they even forget the time and when it's time to eat. Hongyu sometimes brought food at noon for Jin Xi to remember, but in the evening, the food was cold and Jin Xi couldn't remember to eat a bite. Therefore, Jin Xi is losing weight day by day.

On this day, Liu Yu'e brought her subordinates to visit Jinxi, and brought some food by the way.

As soon as Liu Yu'e entered the door, she only heard the sound of Jin Xi reading in a small voice from the house, but she didn't see anyone, so Yu E called softly, "Jin Xi?" Jinxi, it's me, my mother brought you food, are you in the house? ”

After calling for a long time and no one answered, Yu'e followed the sound of reading into Jin Xi's study, only to see Jin Xi lying on the desk, her face pale, her lips cracked, her eyes full of bloodshots, as if she was enchanted staring at the book and reading.

Liu Yu'e stepped forward distressedly, her nose was sore, and she cried, "Jinxi, what's wrong with you?" How did you make yourself like this? What about Ruby! Call her to me. ”

It happened that Hongyu brought a new meal to Miss Jinxi, and when she saw Yu'e coming, she almost knocked the food to the ground, and she said tremblingly: "Oh, the slave is rude, I don't know that Madame is coming today, Miss she ......."

Liu Yu'e glared at Hongyu and said, "Do you still know about faux pas? If I don't come today, my daughter may become of her! Look at what your young lady is starving? What's the use of asking for a like you! ”

Hongyu saw that Liu Yu'e was furious, so she could only say to her, "I'm really sorry. Madam, it's the slave who deserves to die, it's the slave who didn't take care of the young lady and made her hungry, the slave deserves to die! Hongyu cried and apologized, "The slave maid also has a hard time, the slave maid does not mean to snub the young lady, but the young lady has been forgetting to sleep and eat, the slave and the maid do not listen to any persuasion, and the slave and maid are powerless......"

Jin Xi came back to her senses when she heard Hongyu's cry, and she said to Liu Yu'e: "Mother, don't blame Hongyu, it's my own who hasn't eaten, and it's my fault that I forgot the time." A smile squeezed out of Jin Xi's weak face, which seemed to be even more pitiful.

Liu Yu'e said: "Good daughter, rest for a while, and take you to eat for your mother, if you don't wait for the exam, you will be hungry." It's not a way to do it! ”

Jin Xi said: "Well, I listen to my mother, let's go, let's go eat." Then he looked at Hongyu, who was still kneeling on the ground, and said, "Hongyu, you should also get up, it is not your fault in this matter, it is me who forgot to sleep and eat." ”

Hongyu cried and cried and said, "Thank you, thank you, Miss, Hongyu will pay attention next time, and she will never let Miss go hungry again." ”

Jin Xi was a little physically exhausted, and he had to be supported to support himself to walk, so Jin Xi returned to his bed and lay on his side. Liu Yu'e ordered someone to prepare a meal and send it over.

Liu Yu'e brought the porridge to Jin Xi's mouth: "Jin Xi, come." Let's take a sip of porridge first. I specially ordered someone to make wolfberry white fungus lotus seed porridge, you haven't eaten for a few days. Drink porridge first to appetize. ”

Jin Xi smiled and said, "Well, thank you, mother." Then he opened his mouth slightly, and took a little sip of the porridge in the bowl, and the lotus seed white fungus porridge was slightly added with some honey, so it tasted both the aroma of white fungus lotus seeds and the sweetness that seemed to be absent.

Jin Xi hasn't eaten for the past few days, not only because she is worried about the exam, but also because she is thinking about how to take revenge and prevent Jin Ruo from harming her next. The sweet porridge flowed down Jin Xi's throat to his stomach, to Jin Xi's atrium, and in the deep pool of his heart, dripping drops of elixir and jade dew.

Jin Xi felt that he gradually gained strength, Liu Yu'e fed Jin Xi a lot of delicious things, but she was still afraid that Jin Xi would be hungry, Jin Xi waved her hand and said: "Mother, I really can't eat, don't feed me anymore." Jin Xi hiccups as she speaks.

Liu Yu'e smiled and said, "Hehe, okay, isn't my mother afraid that you will be hungry, just remember to eat on time next time." Then he looked at Jin Xi with a doting face.

At this time, Hongyu walked in happily: "Miss, Sister Xu has come to see you!" ”

Before Hongyu could finish speaking, Xu Yingying rushed in, "Sister, sister Jinxi, I heard that you are studying every day at home, and you forget to sleep and eat!" Don't get tired! ”

Xu Yingying looked at Jin Xi. hurriedly stepped forward to hold Jin Xi's hand, frowned slightly, the whole action was done in one go, it can be said that it was as well-trained as a rehearsal, if it weren't for the memory of rebirth, Jin Xi would not have thought that it was this person - his dearest best friend killed his newborn child with his own hands.

Xu Yingying saw that Liu Yu'e was also there, and said with a smile on her face, "Oh, I'm really blind, it turns out that Mrs. Liu is also there!" ”

Liu Yu'e put down the small bowl and spoon, "Yingying, don't be polite to me, it's rare that you can remember Jinxi, hang her, and come to see her." I also came to see Jinxi today, but I didn't expect her to almost faint in the study from hunger......"

Xu Yingying's eyebrows were horizontal, "What?" What's going on with Jinxi? Is Hongyu lazy again? It's so starving that you're like this! ”

Jin Xi waved his hand, "It's okay, Yingying, I just ate a lot of things, and now I'm recovering." ”

Xu Yingying glared at the red jade, as if she was about to eat the red jade in one bite, "Hmph! You, you are so good at serving your young lady. If there's a slight slip-up, I'll skin you! ”

Hongyu knelt on the ground and kowtowed like pounding garlic, "Miss, I was wrong, I already know ...... wrong"

Yingying is not a good talker like Liu Yu'e, how can she let go of Hongyu easily?

Jin Xi only stopped her and said, "Yingying, don't worry about her, this matter is my own reason, and it has nothing to do with Hongyu." ”

Yingying said, "This person doesn't understand the rules, and if you don't teach a lesson, you can't make a decision, if something like this happens again, won't you still be the one who will suffer at that time?" Therefore, the subordinates must be taught a lesson. Jin Xi, you are my good sister, I will never allow others to bully you, let me punish disobedient minions on your behalf today! ”

Jin Xi frowned, thinking to herself, "Heh, this Xu Yingying is simply a drama spirit, a good sisterhood, it's really ridiculous." ”

Yingying continued, "It's just right, I came to see your young lady today, I originally prepared a lot of snacks and dishes, since your young lady can't eat it, it's better for you to eat it instead of her!" ”

Yingying ordered her subordinate Wanjun to pick up a bowl of hot soup and bring it to Hongyu's mouth, and Hongyu said, "Miss, where are these drinks and dishes that our subordinates can ...... with?"

Yingying said angrily, "You don't talk nonsense, I'll let you eat it, and you have to eat all the dishes in these two big lunch boxes, I'll watch you eat today, I won't leave if you don't finish eating!" Wanjun, greet her and give me all to eat, and bring her a basin, don't stain my sister's carpet! ”
