Tang Gong and Fan Shi were stunned there for a long time, Zhu Zhen covered the arm that was whipped with her hand, the tears in the corners of her eyes were still there, and she looked in a trance.

Tang Gong was silent for a while, and then said to Fan Shi beside him, "Really, what are you still doing in a daze?" Make tonight's meal again, you can't let Master Wu and Master Wu go hungry, right? ”

Fan Shi heard Tang Gong talking to him, and hurriedly moved, letting the big bucket and small bucket wash and chop vegetables again, ready to cook again.

"Zhu Zhen, there's nothing for you here for the time being, so you can go back first, right?" Tang Gong looked at Zhu Zhen and said.

Zhu Zhen heard Tang Gong say this, covered his arms and walked out, and then returned to his room.

She sat in front of the bed and sat for a long time, looking at herself in the mirror, her makeup was also spent, her eyes were a little bloodshot, and the whole person was not in a very good state. She carefully lifted the bloodstained sleeves from her arms, and slowly took off her blouse. So he washed the wound with water and applied some medicine to it.

Zhu Zhen cleaned herself up, changed her clothes, and went out again, preparing to go to the kitchen to bring a bamboo basket to Wu Shide after a while.

Fan Shi and the big bucket were silent when they saw Zhu Zhen, and Zhu Zhen didn't speak, so he took out some of the dishes that Fan Shi had cooked, put them in the bamboo basket, and then went out to Wu Shide's place.

Wu Shide was copying the article in front of the desk, and when he looked up, he saw Zhu Zhen walking in and said, "Put the food on the table, right?" I'll eat it later. By the way, Zhu Zhen, don't leave yet, I'll tell you later. ”

Woodsd didn't say anything about what had just happened.

Zhu Zhen put the food on the table, then walked to the threshold and sat on it, holding his chin with both hands, Wu Shide copied silently, and glanced over here from time to time, Zhu Zhen actually felt sleepy and slowly closed his eyes. In a moment, I fell asleep. In the dream, it was still the water, the cold pool, she looked at it, there was a huge herring at the bottom of the pool, she touched the water surface with her hand, the herring disappeared, after the water pattern disappeared, she saw the face of Chen Ziqi at the bottom of the pool, she was very scared, why there was Chen Ziqi at the bottom of the pool, she shouted loudly, "Ziqi, Ziqi." ”

Shouting and shouting, I woke up from a dream.

Wu Shide woke up in a dream when he heard Zhu Zhen, and said Chen Ziqi's name in his mouth, and his face changed instantly.

"Zhu Zhen, you actually fell asleep after such a little effort, why didn't your body hurt?"

Zhu Zhen stood up, she could still feel the slightest pain, but she didn't speak, walked straight to Wu Shide, and set the chopsticks in place, "Wu Shide Wu Gongzi, the food has been taken out for a long time, and if you don't eat it, it will be cold." ”

Wu Shide put down the pen and ink in his hand, "Come, Zhu Zhen, push me over to eat." ”

I don't know how long the food on the table has been there, but Zhu Zhen actually had a dream. Zhu Zhen stood up and walked to the table first, seeing that the food had not moved, and it was still faintly steaming, only to know that she had only spent a moment.

She walked up to Woodshide and was about to push Woodshide, but she felt that she was weak and her arms could not be used, and she tried to push Woodshide's wheelchair, but she couldn't push it. Seeing this, Wu Shide said, "How come those whips are like not eating for a few days?" My father's whips are really beaten, and one or two of my whips should be tickling you? ”

Zhu Zhen saw that Wu Shide was indeed teasing himself in his words, and an inexplicable sense of depression came to his heart. I didn't dare to say anything, and I couldn't use my strength.

"In that case, move the table over, and don't bother you to push me through with this brute force." Wu Shide said to Zhu Zhen beside him.

Zhu Zhen listened to Wu Shide's words, but felt that Wu Shide was sensible. That sense of depression has also decreased a lot. She still has the strength to move the table, but she doesn't know why she has no strength in her body after being whipped a few times today, she is a little puzzled.

The table was shifted to Woodsted's bookcase, and Woodsd picked up his chopsticks to eat. I tasted a few bites, but I was very dissatisfied, "This Fan is real, the food is getting weaker and weaker, you have to know whether to redo it or not, just bring it over." ”

Zhu Zhen thought that Wu Shide would tell a thing or two about what happened just now, but Wu Shide was willing, and he didn't care if Zhu Zhen deliberately wanted to harm him. At this time, Zhu Zhen was even more puzzled in her heart.

"Zhu Zhen, I won't punish you today, seeing that you are really pitiful, you don't need to serve you when you eat. I'm not in a hurry today, just rest by the bed. Wu Shide ate unhurriedly and said to Zhu Zhen.

The sky was dark at this time, Zhu Zhen was listless, looked at the sky outside the door, and watched Wu Shide chewing slowly, his stomach was empty, but he didn't have the slightest hunger.

She didn't care if Woodsd would scold her, leaned sideways against Woodsd's bed, and slowly closed her eyes.

After eating for a while, Wu Shide put down his chopsticks, moved his body again, and then copied "The Theory of Balance".

He stared at Zhu Zhen from time to time, and waited until after a cup of tea, confirming that Zhu Zhen was asleep, he slowly moved to Zhu Zhen and looked at Zhu Zhen carefully.

Zhu Zhen left home to the Wu family, and it was eight years since then.

Zhu Zhen has been dangling under his nose for more than eight years, from being young and ignorant, to being mature and sophisticated, and learning all kinds of knowledge beside him, and he is proficient in cooking, decorating himself with all this, Wu Shide is also very admired. Looking at Zhu Zhen again, the stubbornness in her bones makes her look not only able to resist, but also able to face everything calmly.

Zhu Zhen has grown up, it is a change from a female baby to a mature woman, Wu Shide has lived with his father Wu You and Uncle Wu Zun since he was a child, and his mother passed away as early as when he fell to the ground, and he can't feel what love is? Only in this place where there is a lack of women in the Wu family, I see Zhu Zhen, who has the appearance of a mother, and the mother who appears in the dream is probably the same young and beautiful as Zhu Zhen, loyal and unyielding, calm and calm.

He didn't know when he started to change his opinion of Zhu Zhen, probably from a certain time when he picked up a whip and hurt Zhu Zhen, and he would also have heartache.

However, Zhu Zhen is just an insignificant little woman, and even a maid who came to the Wu family to serve him.

When he saw his father whipping Zhu Zhen, he actually hated it in his heart.

He stroked Zhu Zhen's face with his hand, Zhu Zhen didn't wake up, he touched Zhu Zhen's forehead with his hand again, only to notice that Zhu Zhen's face was hot, "Zhu Zhen, wake up, Zhu Zhen, wake up." Wu Shide shouted Zhu Zhen's name.

At this time, Wu Zun walked in from the outside and looked at Wu Shide next to Zhu Zhen, but Zhu Zhen was asleep, "Dead girl, don't get up quickly." Wu Zun said loudly.

Wu Shide "booed" Wu Zun and told him not to be so loud.

"What's wrong with this girl Zhu Zhen?" Wu Zun asked.

"Second uncle, please send Zhu Zhen to her room, and then tell Steward Tang to find a doctor, this Zhu Zhen has a fever and is confused."

Wu Zun had no choice but to say, "Okay, I'll send her back to the room." ”

Wu Zun held Zhu Zhen's arm with his hand, and Zhu Zhen let out a painful sound, but did not wake up. Wu Shide hurriedly said to Wu Zun, "Second uncle, be careful, don't touch her arm." ”

Wu Zun hurriedly took his hand off Zhu Zhen's arm, and then went to support Zhu Zhen's other arm, "Wu Shide, what's going on?" ”

"It's okay, second uncle, don't ask too much, just send Zhu Zhen back to her room." Woodsd said.

Wu Zun didn't ask again, so he carefully supported Zhu Zhen and sent her into the room. Zhu Zhen collapsed on the bed weakly, and Wu Zun went out to find Steward Tang.

Steward Tang listened to Wu Zun's instructions, found a doctor, and the doctor diagnosed it, and then prescribed a few pairs of medicines, and said, "This girl's skin is inflamed, and she is blown by some wind, and she has a fever inside. It doesn't matter, just take these few medicines, and you can see the cure. ”

Tang Gong was relieved. The healer and Wu Zun left one after another. Tang Gong covered Zhu Zhen with a quilt and went out with the medicine to find Fan Shi.

Wu Zun returned to Wu Zun, and when Wu Zun saw Wu Zun, he came to ask him, "Second uncle, how are the preparations for the matter I discussed with you a few days ago?" ”

"No problem, my nephew Wu Shide, as long as it is what you want to do and planned, I will do it as you tell me." Wu Zun said.

"Okay, second uncle, you must keep it strictly secret for me." Woodshide replied.

"Of course, the second uncle will not be responsible tomorrow, so you just wait to see the good news. Since there is nothing else to do, then I will go first. ”

"Okay, second uncle, you go slowly." Wu Shide watched Wu Zun walk out the door.

Tang Gong took the medicine to the kitchen to find Fan Shi, Fan Shi heard that Zhu Zhen had a fever, and he was still very worried about her. After all, Zhu Zhen, as her apprentice, has been with her for so many years, and treats her as her own daughter.

Fan Shi has never married, nor has he met the right person, or other women have taken a fancy to him, once thought that he was full of food alone, and the whole family was not hungry, so he was lonely for life, until Zhu Zhen screamed from a master every day, and suddenly one day, Fan Shi felt that there was one person in the world who still missed him, and that person was Zhu Zhen.

Fan Shi made another fresh soup while boiling the medicine, he knew that Zhu Zhen's girl had an empty stomach and had never eaten.

After a while, Fan Shi let the big bucket and the small bucket go home, and he went to Zhu Zhen's room with the boiled medicine and fresh soup.

"Zhu Zhen, the medicine is ready, I'll help you get up and drink the medicine." Fan Shi said, and went to help Zhu Zhen.

Zhu Zhen vaguely heard Fan Shi's voice, and sat up forcefully, "Fan Shi, I can get up, I'm sorry for you." ”

Fan Shi felt very uncomfortable when he heard Zhu Zhen being so polite to him.

And he was once suspicious of Zhu Zhen because of cooking, which made Zhu Zhen wary of herself. The sentence of Brother Shi, the sentence of Fan Shi, and the sentence of Master Fan lingered in his mind, but at this moment, Zhu Zhen was like a cowardly caged bird who was injured.

Zhu Zhen gulped down the medicine in the bowl, and Fan Shi said to Zhu Zhen again, "Come to Zhu Zhen, drink this bowl of fresh soup, I know that you haven't eaten, your stomach is empty, and you don't feel good." ”

"Fan Shi, I won't have an appetite for this, just put the soup on the table, and when the fever subsides in the evening, I'll get up and drink it."

"Zhu Zhen, let's drink it now, come, I'll bring it to you, if you get up and drink it late at night, it must be cold, it's not good." Fan Shi brought the fresh soup to Zhu Zhen's mouth.

Zhu Zhen saw that Fan Shi had already brought it over, so he took a sip of it, and then coughed for a while.

Fan Shi saw that Zhu Zhen was coughing uncomfortably, so he didn't feed her again. "Thank you, Brother Shi." Zhu Zhen said in a weak tone, "Brother Shi, you can go back first, I want to sleep well, and tomorrow will be alive again." ”

Fan Shi saw that Zhu Zhen was so weak, haggard, and said funny things, and thought to himself, what a stubborn woman.

"Zhu Zhen, since you really don't want to drink, I won't feed you, so you can recuperate. I'll put the soup in front of the table, and when you feel better, get up and take a few sips. Fan Shi put the bowl on the table, cleaned up for Zhu Zhen, and turned around to leave.

"Master, thank you today, I won't get up, you go slowly." Zhu Zhen said and lay down. When Fan Shi heard the word master, his nose became sour.

The next day, Zhu Zhen's body recovered as before, she got up early, sent the bowls on the table into the kitchen, and cleaned the kitchen again.

When Fan Shi arrived, he saw that Zhu Zhen's face had improved, full of vitality, and he was both surprised and happy.

"Zhu Zhen, this is just right, and you got up so early?" Fan Shi said to Zhu Zhen.

"That's it, I, a strange woman from Weiyang Mountain who can't die, have come back to life after staying up all night, haha, it's no problem to kill a pig. This little hurdle, I passed, it was like a finger. ”

"It's like a finger, haha, isn't it a grasshopper shaking the tree, last night it was boiling medicine and cooking soup, it was your master who saved you." The big bucket also said happily.

"Yes, with my master Fan really here, of course I have nothing to fear. Isn't it, Master? Zhu Zhen said, glancing at Fan Shi.

After a while, Tang Gong Tang Butler came here, "Zhu Zhen, Wu Shide Wu Gongzi will let you over." ”

When Zhu Zhen heard that it was Wu Shide who was coming to her, she didn't speak again, and went to Wu Shide when she went out.
