Chapter 36: Drinking Medicine

Early in the morning, Chu Peijin was woken up by Cuizhu, and Cuizhi had already helped her dress neatly in the hazy eyes of sleepy.

Today's Xishao Capital is approaching the end of autumn, so it is obvious that the coolness is felt in the morning and evening. Today, Cuizhi prepared a moon-white Ruyi pleated skirt embroidered with green bamboo, and the skirt and cuffs were embroidered with cyan silk thread with a few bamboo leaves, which also had a unique charm.

Seeing that she was dressed, Cuizhi was worried that she was weak and could not withstand the morning breeze, so she took a thin blue armor and put it on for her.

Chu Peijin saw that she was meticulous and attentive in her preparation, and the sentence 'no need' rolled on her lips and swallowed. She squinted and glanced out the window, "Why did you wake up so early today?" ”

Cuizhu twisted the handkerchief and handed it over, and replied, "Girl, have you forgotten?" Today you're going to class at the Jinghua Pavilion. If you go late, you will be upset. ”

The slightly cool handkerchief was attached to her face, Chu Peijin was finally sober, and she almost forgot about it.

After washing, Cuiping had already set the meal out. The breakfast prepared for her by Wu'an Houfu was very simple, a bowl of almond and japonica rice porridge, four steamed buns, and two plates of vegetarian dishes with relatively small portions.

In the past, Chu Peijin only ate one bowl of porridge at most, but now she is basically wiped out for such a large amount of breakfast. Although it had been several days, a few maids couldn't help but widen their eyes when they looked at the smooth plates.

Ignoring everyone's gaze, Chu Peijin wiped the corners of her mouth and got up, planning to go out for a walk, but unexpectedly saw Cuilian hurriedly walk in with a bowl.

"Girl, this is prepared for you by the eldest lady, saying that although you have been in good health recently, you still need to take care of your ......"

Cuilian spoke, and the bowl of black things had been placed in front of her.

Chu Peijin glared: "This, what is this?" ”

Since returning home, she has been really unbearable to the smell of Chinese medicine in that room, so she asked the maids to change the things in the house almost once, and only recently the smell of Chinese medicine that has lasted for several years has slowly faded. I thought that unless I got sick, I wouldn't have to drink those bad things anymore. Therefore, during this time, she also eats as much as possible, and when she has time, she goes out for a walk, is active, and plans to start exercising again.

Cuilian shook her head and said, "It was sent by Mama Huang, and now the person is still outside the door!" ”

"Call her in!"

Chu Peijin was a little displeased. Who's okay to take medicine and play? As the saying goes, medicine is poisonous, and if you eat it like this, you will get sick if you don't get sick, right?

Mama Huang soon walked in under the leadership of Cuilian.

"The old slave greets the big girl."

Raising her head again, Chu Peijin saw a kind-faced mother-in-law looking at her lovingly. Chu Peijin knew that she was one of the housekeepers beside her mother, Mama Huang. Looking at her loving expression, Chu Peijin couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth, she didn't know and thought it was her elders, this old woman can really pretend!

In Chu Peijin's memory, it seems that there are always a few times a month when the medicine he drinks comes from Xia's side, and every time it is sent by this Mama Huang. According to her, her mother personally boiled it for her, so that her body could get better quickly. Every time the original owner drank this medicine, he looked very good for a few days, but after a while, he would fall ill in bed unconsciously. Now that I think about it, I don't know how much it has to do with this bowl of medicine every time I get sick!

It's just that now facing the bowl of medicine in front of him, Chu Peijin is extremely entangled. The former lord had great trust in the Xia family, and he would not suspect that there was something wrong with this medicine, but she was different! In addition to not liking to drink medicine, now that she is not sick or in pain, Xia also asked Mama Huang to take the medicine, so this problem is too obvious!

I really don't understand why Xia asked her to take medicine? Do you want to use this to express her concern for Chu Peijin?

"Mama Huang, please tell me, what is this bowl?"

Mama Huang had expected that Chu Peijin would not drink the medicine properly, and this situation had happened before, so she was not surprised.

"Ouch, my good girl! After Mrs. went back yesterday, she said that the old lady had promised to let you go to class, and Mrs. was very happy, but she was worried that your body would not be able to stand it, so yesterday she took out the prescription left by Imperial Doctor Li to regulate her body, and went to the pharmacy to get some nourishing medicinal materials! Girl, Madame, this is all for your good, you can't live up to Madame's heart! ”

If it was Chu Peijin before, she would definitely soften her heart and drink the medicine, but now, she is no longer 'her'!

"But, Mama, my body is already healed!"

Mama Huang was not anxious at all in the face of Chu Peijin's refusal, "Girl! That's what you said when you were a little better before, but then what's wrong, haven't you been sick again and again? This time, Mrs. thinks it is better to give you a good conditioning, even if it takes more effort and more precious medicinal materials, it will make you completely well, so that you will not be tortured by illness in the future. So, you must drink this medicine. ”

Chu Peijin frowned tightly, with a look of reluctance.

"Mama, you talk to your mother, I really don't want to drink these things anymore!"

There is nothing wrong with this, after all, whoever has drunk the potion for nearly ten years will not be happy to see it again.

Mama Huang saw that it was difficult to persuade this time, so she immediately changed her mind.

"Girl, think about it carefully, in a few months you will be married, and after that, your marriage with His Royal Highness King Kang will begin to be discussed. If you are still sick for three days, will His Royal Highness King Kang be happy? Not to mention His Royal Highness King Kang, even if we ordinary people marry a woman, we must marry a healthy person, do you say? Girl, listen to the old slave's words, for the sake of your happiness, you still drink this medicine, right? Good no good? Besides, this time, according to the instructions of the imperial doctor, you only need to drink it for ten days! ”

The corners of Chu Peijin's mouth couldn't help twitching.

How stupid was the original owner to drink the medicine obediently? Anyway, every time she doesn't even have to look at the doctor, she just comes over with a bowl of medicine, and then says that she drinks it after a few calls, how big is her heart?

Chu Peijin refused again: "Otherwise, you can put the medicine here, I just finished eating, and I can't drink it now......"

Seeing this, Mama Huang simply picked up the bowl of medicine and handed it to Chu Peijin, "Girl, you don't know that if this medicine is cooled, the medicinal properties will be greatly reduced, and the effect of drinking it will be much worse." Come, be obedient, the old slave is waiting for you to drink. After saying this, Mama Huang turned her head and glared at Cuilian and the others who were standing on the side stupidly, and said, "What are you still doing in a daze?" Why don't you hurry up and get the girl preserves! ”

"Oh! Oh! Cuilian reacted quickly, "The slave will go and get it." After finishing speaking, she ran out, and after a while, Chu Peijin saw her come in with a small celadon plate, in which about five or six pickled preserves were placed.

Chu Peijin glared at her and said secretly, next time I have to beat her well no matter what. Didn't you see that her master didn't want to drink medicine? She's still running so fast!

"Come, girl, Mama feeds you—"

As Mama Huang spoke, she brought the bowl to Chu Peijin's mouth.

A strong smell of Chinese medicine instantly rushed straight into the nostrils, Chu Peijin only felt nausea and discomfort in her stomach, and couldn't help but open her mouth, wow, touched the medicine bowl in Mama Huang's hand, not to mention, and vomited all the food she had eaten in the morning!

Everyone changed color when they saw this!
