Chapter 40: Clouds (4)

Xia Ruixi squatted under the porch and held a fan against the small clay stove, looking at the white mist rising in the medicine jar with some abruptness. The medicine prescribed by Master Xia is equivalent to sleeping pills, as long as Xia Ruibei takes it, she will be groggy all day long, and she will no longer have the energy to make trouble. Although it was a helpless move, it was not a glorious thing, and he was afraid that outsiders would know, so Master Xia would explain that she would boil the medicine herself and not allow others to help.

"Second sister, do you boil medicine for Uncle Shi?" Ou Qingjin walked over and watched curiously as Xia Ruixi mixed the medicinal juice he boiled each time into a large bowl, "What is this for?" Why mix together? ”

Seeing that he asked about the medicine, Xia Ruixi was a little flustered, and he didn't answer who he was boiling the medicine for, and laughed dryly: "After mixing in this way, the concentration of the medicine is the same, and the effect of the medicine is stable." If you don't boil it all at once, the later it is, the weaker it will be, and the effect will be unstable. ”

Ou Qingjin squatted down curiously: "In the end, it is your family origin, and you even have so much knowledge about boiling medicine." I've finally learned one more thing, is it Uncle Shi's prescription? ”

"Hmm."

"I also recognize a few herbs, let me see what they are? Maybe you'll learn a recipe. He took the chopsticks in Xia Ruixi's hand and pulled them into the medicine jar.

Xia Ruixi was frightened into a cold sweat, and hurriedly said: "It's different, this medicine is prepared in different ways, and the effect is not the same." You just recognize the medicine, and it's useless to not know how to prepare it. If you really want to know, ask my dad and he will tell you for sure. ”

Ou Qingjin glanced at her, saw that her cheeks were slightly red, her smile was stiff, and she looked nervous, smiled, returned the chopsticks to her, got up and said, "Yes, the same medicine, the preparation method is different, and the effect is not the same." You're busy, I'll go first. ”

Xia Ruixi couldn't help but say, "Fourth Brother Ou, thank you really for today's incident." ”

Ou Qingjin smiled faintly: "You don't have to take it to heart, I'm also for Ah Ke." ”

What does he mean by this is that he is not for her, but for Ah Ke? Is she self-inflicted? Xia Ruixi knew that he might not mean that, but he couldn't help but be angry, so he smiled dryly: "Having said that, I can't go to Xie Ake, right?" ”

Ou Qingjin was stunned, didn't say a word, and turned to leave.

After the medicine was boiled, Xia Ruixi left enough for Xia Ruibei to take a meal, and put the remaining other medicinal juices in a small porcelain jar and handed them over to Wan'er for safekeeping. The rest is how to make Xia Ruibei take the medicine obediently.

Xia Ruixi had already walked to the door of Xia Ruibei's room, and hesitated to retreat, Xia Ruibei took this medicine, if she really stayed asleep, would others say that she hurt Xia Ruibei? If you don't feed it, the matter can't be solved, and Xia Ruibei will hurt her body even more if she is tied up like this.

She was hesitating, "Hee-hee." "Master Xia actually came with Xia Jin.

Xia Ruixi looked at the bowl of medicine in embarrassment, and Master Xia sighed slightly: "Give it to me." "Take the medicine," Xia Jin waited outside, and Hee Hee came in with me. ”

Chun'er saw Master Xia and Xia Ruixi go in together, and looked at Xia Ruixi with some panic, Xia Ruibei is still tied, if Master Xia sees it, what should I do?

Xia Ruixi forced her composure, she was ready in her heart, if Master Xia really wanted to scold her, she would bear it, anyway, if she did it again, she would still choose to tie Xia Ruibei up. But she was wrong, seeing Xia Ruibei's appearance, Master Xia's expression was very calm, not strange at all, as if everything was expected by him. Thinking about it, Xia Ruibei made such a fuss, but he didn't hear Xia Ruibei's cry at the door, wasn't that gagged?

Xia Ruibei was already dying, but when she saw Master Xia coming, she immediately became excited, watched Master Xia cry, glared at Xia Ruixi fiercely, roared "woo", and rolled around on the bed.

Master Xia suddenly stopped, closed his eyes, and let out a long sigh, his expression painful and struggling. Xia Ruixi couldn't help but wonder, would Master Xia think she was ruthless? Don't like her anymore? Master Xia is her boss, her food and clothing parents, and the stand-in is not good, if she does something that may make the other party dislike, she will always worry that people will not like her because of this. If it's a real daughter, where is there so much to worry about?

After a while, Master Xia opened his eyes, his expression was still painful, but with a bit of determination: "Beibei, you are sick, you are not lightly ill, Dad boiled medicine for you, you obediently drank it, let's go on the road." ”

Xia Ruibei was stunned, suddenly thought of something, her expression was terrified, her eyes widened suddenly, her mouth made a "woo" sound, and she shook her head desperately.

Master Xia said: "You hold down the third lady and help me feed the medicine." ”

Lan'er and Xiang'er also thought that Master Xia was going to kill Xia Ruibei in order to cover up the family scandal. Xia Ruibei is dead, do the two of them still have a way to live? Scared or something, where is the strength to help? Xia Ruixi already understood at this moment that the arrow had to be released, and Xia Ruibei had to drink this medicine no matter what. Immediately snorted coldly: "What do you want? Now what I want is for the third lady to return home safely, don't you understand? The two girls settled down, and then they went up and hugged Xia Ruibei's hands and feet.

After some hecticism, Master Xia poured the bowl of medicine into Xia Ruibei's mouth with his own hands, Xia Ruibei was reluctant to swallow the medicine, looked at Master Xia in despair, tears kept flowing, soaking Master Xia's hands, Master Xia trembled, closed his eyes, and pinched Xia Ruibei's nose with his hand, Xia Ruibei couldn't stand it, so she had to swallow the medicine.

Seeing that Xia Ruibei drank the medicine, Master Xia let go, still not at ease, afraid that she would scream and shout, so he continued to plug her mouth with a cloth towel, and tears flowed down her face: "Beibei, you don't care about our life or death, but I can't ignore you, I can't make trouble by your temperament, I can't watch you ruin your second sister's marriage, ruin your brother's future, and make your sister unable to raise her head in her mother-in-law's house." ”

Xia Ruibei looked at him quietly, her eyes changed from despair to indifference to dazedness, and finally began to drowsy. Master Xia probed her pulse and made sure that the medicine was working, so he ordered someone to remove the cloth towel from her mouth, untie her hands and feet, and freshen up and change her clothes.

Seeing that Master Xia's straight waist suddenly became a little stiff, Xia Ruixi felt quite uncomfortable in his heart, the same thing, different eras, different results. If Xia Ruibei's matter were in modern times, where would there be so much pain and embarrassment? Coming to this point, Xia Ruibei is of course self-inflicted, but she is also a victim of an era and system. Xia Ruibei's days, she thinks about it very sadly, let alone Xia Ruibei, a teenage girl? Xia Ruixi couldn't help but take a handkerchief to wipe the sweat on Xia Ruibei's forehead, and Master Xia sighed and walked out hobbly.

During lunch, Master Xia greeted the Ou family father and son as usual, but the second master Ou took the initiative to ask Xia Ruibei if she was better? Why didn't you see her come to lunch?

Master Xia said: "Beibei was scared by me last night, sat for a night, was a little unstable, took medicine, and just fell asleep. Leave her alone, just let her mother-in-law pick her up in the car. ”

Xia Ruixi felt that Ou Qingjin seemed to look at her thoughtfully, he must have recognized that the medicine was boiled for Xia Ruibei. Others don't know about Xia Ruibei's situation, even if they know that she takes tranquilizers, it doesn't matter, but Ou Qingjin is different, he knows everything, and with his intelligence, he can naturally guess the medicine they poured Xia Ruibei.

The leftover women are not ladylike
