Chapter 55: Boiling Medicine

The rain is endless, Xiping Street, Xu Mansion.

After Xu Qinghe finished exercising in the morning, after breakfast, he called Xu Ya and said, "Yesterday's rain, Lord Shen borrowed me a paper umbrella, and asked Uncle Xu to go back on my behalf, and said thank you." ”

Xu Ya responded: "Yes, miss." With that, he turned and walked out.

Xu Yao, who was serving next to him, asked, "It's raining today, does Miss want to leave the house?" ”

Xu Qinghe thought for a moment, shook his head, and said, "It's nothing today, just stay at home!" ”

"Okay, what does Miss want to eat, Ah Yao told the cook to go down and make it." Xu Yao said softly.

Xu Qinghe smiled when he heard this, "Let them do it!" I went to spend time with my mother and talk to her. ”

Xu Yao's face flashed with fear, and then replied with a smile: "Miss went to talk to Madame, Madame must be very happy." ”

Xu Qinghe walked into the backyard and said softly: "I blamed my mother for the last time, so it will affect you." My mother is still very easy to get along with on weekdays, but when she was on me, she panicked and her temper was worse. You have to be careful in the future. ”

Xu Yao nodded, "It's because I didn't serve Miss Hao, and I deserve to be punished." ”

Xu Qinghe had no choice but to reach over and touch the little girl's bun to show comfort, "Has the bruise on your knee subsided a little?" ”

Xu Yao smiled and nodded back: "The ointment given by Uncle Xu is very effective, and most of it has been withdrawn after one night. Thank you, Miss, for caring so much about A-Yao. Being able to serve Miss in this life is A-Yao's greatest blessing. ”

"Is it possible to wipe honey on your little mouth today?" Xu Qinghe teased, "That ointment is what I have been used to since I was a child, it is good at treating bruises, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and if you apply it for an hour, you will see miraculous results." ”

Xu Yao smiled embarrassedly at what Miss said.

Half an hour later, Xu Qinghe stepped into the courtyard where his mother lived, but found Mrs. Xu dressed as a going out, and the big girl Shuangmei was packing her things on the side.

"Mother, where are you going? It's raining outside! Xu Qinghe hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

Mrs. Xu explained, "I'll go see your uncle." As soon as the rainy day came, he was in terrible pain! ”

Hearing this, Xu Qinghe hurriedly said, "Then I'll go with my mother." ”

"Aren't you busy with the things in the shop today?" Mrs. Xu asked.

"I'm not busy today, I'll go with my mother, right?" Xu Qinghe asked again with a smile.

"If you're fine, how can I stop you. Go change your dress, and we'll go in a carriage later. Mrs. Xu said with a smile.

"Okay, Mother remember to wait for me." After Xu Qinghe finished speaking, he took Xu Yao out of the courtyard and went back to the room to change clothes.

Anping Street, Su Province.

In the kitchen, a thin young figure was squatting on the ground, holding a small fan in his hand, fanning the wind while looking at the small stove in front of him, on which was a black glazed medicine jar.

The young man's legs were numb, so he stood up and walked, rested for a while, and squatted down again, looking anxiously close to look at the medicine jar, smelling the fragrance of the medicine wafting out, and judging in his heart how it boiled......

Master Su in the kitchen squinted and smiled, watching Young Master Su Jin busy, and said, "Young Master, don't worry, it's almost ready." ”

"My father must be in terrible pain, and the sooner I drink this medicine, the sooner I can alleviate the pain." Su Jin replied.

When Master Su heard this, he said: "The young master is filial, although the old master is suffering from that illness, but the young master takes care of him, he must be relieved in his heart." ”

"As long as my father lives a long life, I am willing to do anything." Su Jin's eyes were slightly moist, and he said in a low voice.

Master Su sighed, "The young master is still young, and he sees life and death as bigger than the sky. When you reach my age, or the age of my lord, life and death, all of them will be seen and looked down upon. Bitterness and hatred, I experienced it when I was young, and everything was illusory when I was old, and there was nothing I couldn't let go of. ”

Su Jin knew that Master Su was comforting herself, and said, "Thank you Uncle Su for saying these words to me, I understand, but I can't bear it." ”

Master Su patted the young man's thin shoulder, "Life is too short, seize the moment and cherish it!" ”

"Hmmm! I will. Su Jin nodded with tears in her eyes.

Master Su smiled: "What are you crying about!" The boy has tears and doesn't flick. Wait in front of the master, but don't cry, do you hear? ”

Su Jin nodded heavily, wiped away the tears in his eyes, and forced a smile: "Uncle Su, don't worry, I won't cry in front of my father." ”

Master Su praised when he heard this, "Good boy! I'll go fill some pastries and preserves, and when the master finishes drinking the medicine, I will eat a candied fruit to eliminate the bitterness. ”

"Well, thank you, Uncle Su." Su Jin said.

A quarter of an hour later, the medicine was cured.

Su Jin carefully poured a bowl of thick medicinal juice, put it on a wooden tray, took another plate of pastry candied fruit prepared by Master Su, left the kitchen with the tray, and walked towards the courtyard where his father lived.

Through the door, I heard the father's painful snort inside, Su Jin hurriedly pushed the door in, walked quickly to the bed, put down the tray, picked up the medicine bowl, and said softly: "Father, my son serves you to drink medicine." ”

Su Zhe, who was half-lying on the bed, was goosebumpy and skinny, and when he heard his son's voice, he opened his dim eyes and said vaguely: "Ah Jin is here......"

Su Jin scooped a spoonful of medicinal juice with a spoon, blew it, sent it to the old father's mouth, and said softly: "Father will not be too uncomfortable after drinking the medicine." ”

Su Zhe opened his mouth to drink the warm medicinal juice, looked at the melancholy and sadness between Su Jin's eyebrows, and comforted: "You don't have to be too sad, there is still a long way to go in life, and there will be many people with you." ”

Su Jin nodded "um", endured the astringency in her throat, and said, "My son understands." Father drink the medicine quickly. ”

Su Zhe sighed and drank a bowl of medicine in silence.

Su Jin put down the medicine bowl, immediately picked up a candied fruit, and put it to his father's mouth, "Father, eat a candied fruit to eliminate the bitter taste in your mouth." ”

Su Zhe turned his head and said with a smile: "Put it down!" As a father, I can't taste it for a long time. Sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty, in the father's mouth, they are all tasteless. ”

Su Jin was shocked and her heart ached, "Why didn't my father tell me about such a big thing?" ”

Su Zhe looked at the young man's painful look and said with a smile: "Tell you what to do?" It's just to make you sad. It's not a big deal, don't take it personally. When you look back and wait for your sister to come, don't you say it, do you hear it? ”

Su Jin nodded again, extremely sad in her heart, and endured it with all her face, "Father, son, rub your legs!" ”

"Good. I think you have also learned a lot of massage techniques, just so that your father can feel it. Su Zhe said with a smile.

Su Jin put the tray farther away, rolled up her sleeves, and slowly pressed her father's legs through the brocade quilt.
