Chapter 56: The Bitter Meat Scheme
"Hiss...... "Wound 'medicine' was lightly smeared on the palm of Mao Gu's palm, although Mao Gu was already engrossed, but Zhuo Zhaojie still 'pumped' a breath of cold air in pain!
Aunt Mao hurriedly comforted: "It's okay, just bear with it." β
Zhuo Zhaojie frowned, but his expression was very calm, and said, "It doesn't matter, my aunt is slowly taking the 'medicine'." β
When Aunt Mao heard this, tears welled up all of a sudden: "Just so that the son of the world will not be beaten like this stupidly in the future...... The lady has suffered so much, in fact, according to the servant, the son of the world is not disobedient to the persuasion of the lady, why should the lady be like this? What if the wound falls behind? β
"It's just the palm of your hand, and there's nothing left behind." Zhuo Zhaojie disagreed, and said, "It's better than Jiulang making stupid mistakes in the future!" β
Aunt Mao choked and finished the 'medicine' for her, wrapped it in a new handkerchief, wiped her eyes and said: "This is also an accident today, didn't the lady say, although I didn't understand what they said at the time, but looking at Su Shina's appearance, it seems that she wants to throw her hands away?" The son of the world is to keep him. And Su Shina has raised his son for many years, and he always has affection. If it is someone else, when will our son be willing to suffer? Why should the lady bear this heart! β
said sadly, "When did the lady suffer so much?" What a cruelty! The hairpin is just like that! If the servant is around, he will stop him desperately! β
"It's true to be pampered." When Zhuo Zhaojie heard this, he smiled slightly and said softly, "But it is not enough to say that I have never suffered such a hardship." In the past, when I was in Moling, in order to practice the pipa, I once played ten fingers and was scarred, and the new injuries were stacked on top of the old ones, so that the 'woman' bandaged me with 'medicine', and I refused to stop practicing, for fear that I would be unfamiliar with it. At that time, it was often while playing and bouncing that I saw that the handkerchief that bandaged the wound was stained red with blood...... At that time, I was bent on practicing the pipa well, and I endured it all. It's really nothing now, at least I don't have to tune the strings now, and it hurts even more. β
Aunt Mao listened, but she was stunned for a long time, not knowing what to say.
Zhuo Zhaojie said again: "And my aunt thinks that Jiulang has to be kicked like that today?" You see, Su Shi just avoided me! β
"It's a shame that he avoided it, otherwise, although he deserves to die, he can't dirty the lady's hands." Speaking of this, Aunt Mao couldn't help but mutter, "The lady is too, no matter how much you hate Su Shina, you shouldn't do it yourself!" After all, the prince was watching it at that time! Not to mention ......"
"Auntie!" Zhuo Zhaojie didn't want to listen to her chatter, so he interrupted, "Auntie is really worried, don't you want to think about what Su Shina said after avoiding it?" He said that in the current situation, Jiulang still needs him, so he can be injured but not die-do you hear this like an angry person saying it? β
Aunt Mao was stunned.
Zhuo Zhaojie had already continued, saying, "It can be seen that he has calmed down for a while. So if Jiu Lang doesn't accept such a kick from him, even if Su Shi leaves the Yongcheng Hou Mansion, he will come back after he calms down, so why do you say Jiu Lang is doing this? β
"Even so, Xu Shizi quarreled with Su Shina before, so he was in a hurry?" Mao Gu thought for a moment and hesitated.
Zhuo Zhaojie sneered and said: "He has always been bold and ruthless!" I don't want to do the same for myself! Yes, this time I miscalculated - on Mingyue Lake back then, in the wine bead case, didn't he also use himself as a 'lure' bait and a chess piece everywhere to attract people into the urn? I was negligent! Tell him to be in danger again and again! It was just the old days...... If he keeps coming like this in the future, what do you say I will do, aunt? Do you continue to be scared to death by him like this, crying by the couch? The person who hurt him today is Su Shina, I can't kill Su Shina, what about the future? Does my aunt want to do this again? β
Aunt Mao didn't have anything to answer her, so she had to bite the bullet and say: "The maid is afraid that the son of the world will not like the lady too much...... Decisive. β
"I've never pretended to be virtuous or good in front of him." Zhuo Zhaojie shook his head and said, "What's more, he himself is not a good or bad person...... When it comes to people like us, it is too difficult to say the word good. Don't talk about it, let's just say that this is the prince, the king of Zhending County naturally has a bright monarch, but I have also been from Moling to Chang'an for a few years. In the past few years, it has been the king of Zhending County who has gained power, Rao is like this, and I have not heard of anything bad about the king of Yanchang himself. Even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince protects him, there is no mention in 'private' that this King of Yanchang County lacks virtue and ability, so it can be seen that there is something like it in the end. β
She continued, "And although the concubine is noble, the ancients also said that the country depends on the Changjun - although the king of Yanchang is one or two years older than the king of Zhending, it is not impossible to be a reason. What's more, who will be the prince of these two current emperors and grandsons in the future, it is very important to take a look at the meaning of His Royal Highness the Prince...... Who do you say is right? β
Aunt Mao said: "What the lady said, since ancient times, the son-in-law has always been more noble than the concubine, no matter what the ranking, it is the case, since ancient times, the son of heaven has no second son!" β
Zhuo Zhaojie said: "This is because we are now on the side of the King of Zhending County." If I hadn't married Jiulang, we would be in the Zhuo family now, and my grandfather asked, wouldn't my aunt be more biased towards the king of Yanchang County? She shook her head and said, "There are many things in this world, and it is difficult to talk about good and bad. β
Aunt Mao smiled bitterly and said: "The maid doesn't want to tell the lady this, in fact, as long as the lady is happy, she won't care what the maid does." What the servant thinks is...... The lady can't afford to have a rift with the son because of some trivial things. β
Zhuo Zhaojie sighed and said, "Is there a gap?" If he wants to hold a grudge against me because of this, there will be no one time and the next, and he can't prevent it. I also don't want to bend my heart to cater to others. β
Seeing that she seemed to be frustrated, Mao Gu hurriedly persuaded again: "The maid just saw that the meaning of the son of the world is not like this, but the maid is just 'worrying' in vain." β
Zhuo Zhaojie looked at the bandaging on his hand and said casually: "Hmm." β
The two of them would be talking in a whisper outside, and the tabernacle would hang down, so that no one inside or outside would be able to hear it.
At this time, someone suddenly knocked on the 'door', and Aunt Mao asked slightly, "Who?" β
Outside, Ah Xing said: "Auntie, the judgment of the Xu Yuan told the prince that the prince will have to enter the 'medicine' again." The maid is sending 'medicine'. β
"Come in." Zhuo Zhaojie heard this and said busily.
Because Zhuo Zhaojie's injured hand has been discovered by Ning Shaobi, although she has taken the 'medicine' now, she doesn't take the injury seriously, but Ning Yaobi still stopped her from taking care of herself with her own hands - Aunt Mao also thinks so, so Zhuo Zhaojie can only sit on the side and watch Ah Xing 'serve' Ning Yaobi and drink the 'medicine'.
Aunt Mao handed over the water and asked Ning Shaobi to rinse her mouth - so that the 'women' were very eye-catching, and the 'medicine' bowls were withdrawn.
Zhuo Zhaojie saw Ning Shaobi leaning on the hidden sac, and did not instruct someone to help him lie down, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Why don't you sleep?" β
"Where can I sleep after drinking the 'medicine'?" Ning Shaobi shook his head and said, "There is no soothing soup in this 'medicine'. β
"How does this feel?" Zhuo Zhaojie looked at his face, because it was under the lamplight, although he removed the gauze cover, he couldn't see it clearly.
The orange light shines on the face, and even the pale face is difficult to see, and it is always a little scarlet.
But listening to Ning Shaobi's words, it was much lighter: "The 'chest' mouth is much more relaxed. β
"It seems that the 'medicine' prescribed by the Xu Yuan is very good." When Zhuo Zhaojie heard this, he nodded with satisfaction, and urged, "Go to sleep!" It's good to fall asleep quickly. β
"I'm not sleepy." Ning Shaobi glanced at her, and suddenly said, "Do you want to sleep?" If you want it, you can do it. β
Zhuo Zhaojie glared at him and said, "Can I still sleep now?" I've been busy for so long a night, and I'm waiting for dawn! β
As he was talking, there was a sound of banging in the distance, and the two of them silently counted in their hearts - but it was already five watches.
In this case, Ning Shao Bisuo said: "Aunt Mao goes out, I will talk to Zhaojie, and wait for dawn together!" β
Aunt Mao pursed her lips and smiled, and retreated.
Zhuo Zhaojie frowned and said, "Don't just take care of me, you just take care of yourself, look at you like this ...... now."
"Don't you listen to me when I told you about the quarrel with Su Bo before?" Ning Shaobi smiled slightly and said.
Zhuo Zhaojie was stunned, and then said suspiciously: "Are you willing to say it and listen to me?" β
"I said before that I wouldn't keep it a secret from you." Ning Shaobi choked and thought for a while.
"Then I stayed before, and you still talked to Su Bo in nonsense!" Zhuo Zhaojie said angrily, "You didn't have to talk nonsense earlier, I can understand, and I won't watch you being ......."
Ning Shaobi said with a smile: "It's really nothing, good Zhaojie, don't talk about this - didn't Su Bo speak nonsense before?" It's not that he doesn't particularly want you to listen, but he's just angryβ"
Speaking of this, his face darkened, and he said, "You see the black he is wearing?" You probably don't know what that black 'colored' hufu is...... The customs of the Yue clan are different from those of Middle-earth, we wear filial piety here is white, but they mourn but use black, he ...... He was keeping filial piety for my mother. β
Zhuo Zhaojie had already guessed a few points before, and it was not surprising that the matter was related to Shen Lige at this moment, but he just lost his temper and comforted in a low voice: "The deceased is gone, not to mention that if your mother is here, she will definitely hope that you will be good." I don't want you to be wronged. β
"yes." Ning Shaobi said lightly, "Even if she went, she left Su Bo to take care of me, so that I really had no one to trust and no one to rely on." β
Zhuo Zhaojie looked at his face, and said busily: "Except for Su Bo, you are not unreliable without others, your father is one, and your grandmother is another?" β
Ning Shaobi shook her head slowly and said, "Father and grandmother are different from Su Bo. He said cautiously, "Grandmother has other children and grandchildren, and my father should also take care of my grandmother and the big house...... Only Sub is wholeheartedly for me. β
ββ¦β¦ Shouldn't I hit him? Zhuo Zhaojie thought for a moment and said.
"Just hit it, that is, if you break an arm, just turn around and pick it up." Ning Shaobi was stunned for a moment, and then said with a wry smile, "Su Bo doesn't care about this, he has suffered more serious injuries on the battlefield than this several times in the past...... I know you're angry, so don't take it personally. β
Zhuo Zhaojie knew that what he said was the one that said that he would kill Su Shina in the future, she groaned, and before she could answer Ning Shaobi, she heard Ning Shaobi say a little leisurely: "There will be an excellent opportunity now, but I have other plans...... Su Bo was also worried about me, so he quarreled. β
He suddenly changed the topic and said, "By the way, why didn't Tang Qianxia send you the painting you painted today?" β
