Chapter Twenty-Six: The Hard-working Shao Ziqing
Yuehua in the house had already heard the movement, wiped the sickness on her face with a hot handkerchief, handed it to Mama Wei, and then pouted towards the outhouse.
Mama Wei opened the curtain and walked out, and bowed to Shao Ziqing: "Lord Shao is here?" My lady is invited. ”
Shao Ziqing smiled and nodded, Mama Wei opened the curtain, and he bent down and walked in.
The whole room was still smelling of bitter medicinal soup, and Chu Yuehua on the bed couldn't get off the ground because of his weak body, so he could only nod and smile at him.
Mama Wei hurriedly brought the pestle, put it in front of her, invited him to sit down, and then toasted the tea, standing on one side with her sleeves up.
"Are you feeling better?"
Yuehua said softly: "It was Lord Shao who saved Yuehua?" ”
Shao Ziqing hesitated slightly, and then nodded: "It's just a gesture, Miss Yuehua doesn't have to be polite." ”
Yuehua's face was haggard, and her eyes were a little sunken, looking more and more pitiful. She looked at Shao Ziqing and pulled the corners of her lips slightly: "What a coincidence." ”
Shao Ziqing naturally knew that Yuehua still misunderstood him slightly, and this idea was actually reasonable, after all, the place where she fainted was not a tea shop on the street, but in the wilderness, in the maple forest, and it was such a ghost weather, who would be idle and go inside to enjoy the scenery?
He smiled warmly, and was not surprised: "I don't hide it, I happened to go out of the city on the next day, and I saw that the girl went to the maple forest alone and lost her soul, and only then did I know that it was the resting place of General Chu." I have always admired General Chu's loyalty and patriotism during his lifetime, and he worked hard for the people of Chang'an, so he ordered his subordinates to buy incense and candles, and wanted to go over to worship, only to find that something had happened in the forest, and the girl fainted in front of the mausoleum. ”
Yuehua listened to his explanation and felt a little surprised. People kindly saved themselves, but they were so suspicious of their benefactor, and said embarrassedly: "It's Yuehua's small belly and chicken intestines, and I actually misunderstood Master Shao." Please don't be surprised. ”
Yuehua still struggled to speak, and her voice was still low and hoarse, because she had not recovered from a serious illness, and her voice had not fallen, so she coughed and wheezed a little.
"It was true that Ziqing didn't distinguish between black and white before, I'm sorry Miss Yuehua, the girl shouldn't take it to heart."
The two looked at each other and smiled, full of enmity.
Shao Ziqing leaned forward slightly, and leaned out his hand: "Please allow me to ask for Miss Liu's pulse and adjust the prescription." ”
Yuehua was slightly stunned, and Mama Wei on the side hurriedly walked over, took a pillow bag and put it next to the bed, and explained with a smile: "In the past few days that Miss has been sick, it has always been Lord Shao who has bothered to see you. ”
"I only know that Master Shao has learned to be rich and rich, and he is familiar with the present, but I didn't expect that he was also proficient in the art of apricot forest."
Yuehua gratefully put her white wrist on the pulse pillow, Shao Ziqing rolled up her sleeves, stretched out her slender three fingers, lowered her eyes, and muttered for a moment, before she breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Now there is still a low-grade fever, the internal fire has not been extinguished, the cold is stagnant, and it will take a few more days to recuperate." The young lady must stay in bed to recuperate, do not move the liver fire, and do not work. I can take another dose of the previous prescription, and I will prescribe a new tonic prescription for three days in a row, and then see the after-effect. ”
Yuehua was concerned about the business in the store, and her face was difficult: "I have been in bed for a few days, and the store must be troubled, and I dare not delay any longer." Lao asked Master Shao to prescribe two doses of fierce medicine for me to recover sooner. ”
Shao Ziqing smiled warmly: "When I came over yesterday, I happened to meet the housekeeper of your mansion, and he told me all the difficulties. These are just trivial matters, and I have already ordered the housekeeper to bring someone to help, except for a few tenants who are really in difficulty, all the land rent has been collected in one day, which has solved the urgent need in the store.
The mausoleum of Lord Chu and Mrs. Chu, Ziqing also sent craftsmen to repair it, believing that it will definitely be completed before Miss Yuehua recovers, so Miss Yuehua doesn't have to worry about it, just take care of her body and body. ”
I didn't expect Shao Ziqing to help, those people were originally bewitched by others, bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, if there were people in the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion to come forward to support them, who would dare to repay the debt?
Yuehua suddenly felt that half of the burden on her body had been lifted, and she had been alone for so many days, and she was already at the end of her crossbow, and finally someone reached out to her, pulling her out of the mire, giving her warmth and hope. She suddenly remembered the warm and firm embrace in the maple forest, which seemed to be as ethereal and unreal as a dream, and she remembered the strong, hard as iron chest, and the thumping and powerful heartbeat, as if in her ears, heavy as a drum.
A rouge-like flush slowly smeared in her ears, and her delicate pink ears were shrouded in red glow, like begonia flowers blooming in the second place.
She lowered her head: "Yuehua was short of words for a while, and she didn't know how to thank Master Shao." ”
Shao Ziqing suddenly became a little at a loss, got up in a panic, and sat down again: "Miss Yuehua doesn't have to be so polite, in fact, actually, that ...... Ziqing misunderstood Miss that day, felt ashamed, and wanted to make up for it. ”
It is rumored that Shao Ziqing, who can be quoted from the side, and who is arguing with Confucianism in the court, is rare to be so incoherent, Yuehua not only smiles, just like the warm sun is in the sky, ten miles of flowers are blooming, and the whole room is full of intoxicating spring.
Shao Ziqing's hand retracted into the cuff, and he felt that there was nowhere to put it. It happened that Xiangshen came in with fragrant rice porridge, so he got up in a panic and said goodbye, not daring to stay longer.
Shao Ziqing walked out of Yuehua's courtyard, and he was relieved, and his palms were sticky with sweat. He smiled self-deprecatingly, but in the face of a girl who was less than ten years old, and he was not a thousand troops, nor was he a flood beast, why was he so nervous? The errand that the emperor gave him was really not easy to do.
He didn't understand how the emperor happened to "pass by" the maple forest that day, and then happened to meet Chu Yuehua who fainted, both of them were covered in rain and mud, especially Chu Yuehua, as if he was gouged out of the mud, the first time he saw it, he thought that this woman had annoyed the emperor again, and was buried alive by him in a fit of anger.
Mo Guhan was sitting in the carriage, this woman was wrapped in a blanket, and she was lying in his arms! One of the sleeves exposed was covered with mud, and the muddy fingertips tightly clutched the clothes in front of him, crumpled, Mo Guhan didn't dislike it at all!
He hesitated at the time, and even the wind lifted the umbrella above his head, and the cold rain fell on his face without noticing.
Mo Guhan was full of impatience, as if he was disgusted that he had been holding the curtain of the car, put in the cold wind, covered Yuehua's face with wide sleeves, and urged coldly: "Get in the car!" ”
He stupidly put away his umbrella and got into the car, wanting to make fun of it and enliven the serious and dignified atmosphere, but he was afraid that Mo Guhan would kill him with an eye knife and chill himself.
So in the end, he just looked at Mo Guhan, who was also like a soup chicken, and stumbled and asked, "Wei Chen ordered someone to pick up clean clothes for you?" ”
"You send her back."
Mo Guhan ignored his kindness, and commanded coldly without a head. The carriage began to roll forward in the rain, and the ice and rain beat on the roof of the carriage, making a dull and chaotic sound.
"Me?" Shao Ziqing pointed to his nose and asked in disbelief.
Mo Gu made a cold face and nodded.
Why is it all left to me for this good errand? First Chang Lingyan, then Chu Yuehua. The hard-working Shao Ziqing secretly slandered himself, but he didn't dare to question it like this.
"Your Majesty, ......"
Shao Ziqing really wants to ask, should the emperor bring this Chu Yuehua to justice on the spot, and then let himself bear the black pot, right? But if you touch your head, there is only one, and you can only give up.
"You sent her home, and said that you saved her at the grave of General Chu in the maple forest, and then took care of her."
Shao Ziqing stretched out his fingers and plucked his ears, thinking that there might be rain pouring into his ears, causing auditory hallucinations.
"Then, I have other things for you to do, and it's really inconvenient for me to come forward."
"Your Majesty, please speak."
"First, General Chu's mausoleum was destroyed, and you and Buchen will work together to find out who did it, and you will kill all of them!"
"The mausoleum was destroyed?!" Shao Ziqing couldn't believe it, and instantly felt anger rising: "How can there be such a thing? ”
Mo Guhan nodded and continued: "The second thing is that you find the best craftsmen in the capital to repair the mausoleum as soon as possible, and you can pay the necessary expenses in advance, and you can't withdraw it from the Internal Affairs Office." ”
Shao Ziqing understood Mo Guhan's concerns, and now he can't have a slight-hearted relationship with Chu Yuehua, let alone show the slightest soft-heartedness, so he nodded: "Renovate?" Or is it according to the original regulations? ”
Mo Guhan pondered for a moment and shook his head: "Just try to recover." ”
Shao Ziqing should take it: "Is there anything else?" ”
"The third thing is to help her settle all the current troubles, and if there is a traitor, there is no need to show mercy."
Shao Ziqing peeked at Mo Guhan, and shrugged his shoulders secretly, with a look of "I knew today, why bother in the beginning".
"Fourth ......" Mo Guhan glanced down at Yuehua, who was unconscious in his arms, frowned slightly, and said, "All things are carried out in your name, don't mention me." ”
Shao Ziqing nodded, and seeing that Mo Guhan's gloomy face had eased, he smiled and smiled: "Such a heroic errand to save the beauty is very happy for your subordinates." ”
Mo Guhan came over with a cold-eyed knife, and he immediately shut up in recognition.
"And ...... Keep me informed of her situation. ”
