Chapter 19: Genius of the Sky
When Zhou Yu returned home, Feng Liang was still urging the four men and four women to practice their own business in the courtyard. He personally went to the kitchen, fried the medicine he bought for Feng Yue, and then brought it to the bed, held the pale Feng Yue in his arms, and fed her spoonful by spoonful.
The sun outside was hot, but Feng Yue's forehead was covered with cold sweat - if she hadn't continued to add the quilt, Zhou Yu would definitely feel that she was sweating hot.
Soon after drinking the medicine, Feng Yue's sleepiness hit and she gradually fell asleep.
Only then did Zhou Yu walk out of the room and check everyone's practice. The four boys are all fourteen or fifteen years old, and because they are young and energetic, they dare to choose the work of the back kitchen. Zhou Yu inspected the knife work of the four people one by one, fourteen-year-old Liang Hui and fifteen-year-old Wang Yu have made great progress; The remaining two fifteen-year-old boys, one named Huang Yousheng and the other named Xu Li, are faster than Liang Hui and Wang Yuxun. But Zhou Yu is not in a hurry, several children are very diligent and hardworking, as long as they are angry and strong, they will be able to become qualified restaurant chefs in time.
The etiquette of several girls was selected by Zhou Yu from modern etiquette, mainly smiling, bowing, greeting, etc., although some are unique, but they do not conflict with the culture of this era. Zhou Yu took a look at it and felt that the girls were doing quite standard, except that they were still a little untouchable, there was almost nothing to be picky about.
This is also normal, the tradition of this era is that after getting married, the average woman has to spend less time outside, and it is indeed a challenge for them to greet customers in the restaurant. But no matter how challenging it is, it is not as big as the challenge of the poor who can't afford to eat, and everyone has given up in order to make money.
After inspecting the training, Zhou Yu continued to decoct Feng Yue again, and let Feng Liang continue to stare at them.
It wasn't until the evening that Feng Yue's condition improved slightly, and she finally drank a bowl of millet porridge.
Before going to bed, Feng Yue drank the medicine again, and soon fell asleep. Zhou Yu stayed quietly by the bedside like this, for fear that Feng Yue would have something to do. The ice bucket that is always placed in the room on weekdays is not very dare to put it today, the whole room is hotter than usual, and Zhou Yu can't sleep, so he simply sits at the door of the house, quietly watching the moon in the sky.
Raise your head to look at the bright moon and bow your head to think of your hometown.
The bright moonlight evoked Zhou Yu's homesickness, it was Zhou Yu in that world, Zhou Yu from Xiaolong Village never left his hometown.
I don't know if my family will cry sadly when they hear that I had an accident, I don't know if my parents will cry so much that I can't sleep, I don't know what happened to my grandmother who has always loved me......
The past came to Zhou Yu's heart one by one, and he finally couldn't help but shed tears when he was always strong, he may never be able to go back, only hoping that the people he loves in that world can be all right......
At the fourth watch, Zhou Yu heard movement in the room, and immediately went in to check, and found that Feng Yue's face was full of sweat, and he unconsciously pulled the quilt with his hands. Zhou Yu estimated that her body had recovered and felt the heat, so she only kept two layers of thin quilts, and put away the rest, and Feng Yue's breathing gradually calmed down. Zhou Yu didn't dare to go out again, but he didn't dare to go to bed, worried that he would snatch Feng Yue's quilt if he fell asleep. So he moved a stool and sat on the edge of the bed, waiting for Feng Yue's call at any time.
It wasn't until around midmorning that Zhou Yu was really sleepy, so he fell asleep on the side of the bed.
Half an hour later, Feng Yue's autumn-like eyes opened. She was mostly cured, except for a few blockages in her nose, everything else seemed to be fine.
Feng Yue used her hands to find the body as usual, but she pounced, and after touching it again, she still didn't, she was a little panicked. Feng Yue sat up, rubbed her eyes, looked to the left, and found that he was lying on the quilt in the middle of the bed. Feng Yue knew that she was not in good health yesterday, but she didn't expect Zhou Yu to guard her by the bedside all night.
There were tears in her eyes, but there was a smile on the corner of her mouth, and she stretched out her green jade fingers and gently stroked Zhou Yu's cheek. When Zhou Yu was injured, how she wished that this scene could appear......
Being like this, Zhou Yu also opened his eyes.
"Lady, are you awake? How does it feel, are you still dizzy? I'll make porridge for you......" Zhou Yu said while rubbing his eyes.
"Don't get dizzy." Feng Yue looked at that handsome face, felt a pang of emotion in her heart, and replied softly.
"It's good if you don't get dizzy, the feng shui of our Luozhou City will not let you stay ill for a long time." After Zhou Yu finished speaking, he went to the kitchen to cook porridge.
"Where is this?" Feng Yue was confused by his mindless words.
Well, if she had watched "The Legend of a Certain Huan", she wouldn't have asked that......
Feng Yue's appetite was also much better, and she drank two large bowls of white porridge.
A few young men and girls still came to practice for half a day in the morning, but they went back after practicing for an hour and a half in the afternoon. Because when Chen Jin said You, he would send a carriage to pick up Zhou Yu and his wife to go to Luoshui to release river lanterns.
in the house.
"Satsuki, aren't you really going?" Zhou Yu was asking for Feng Yue's opinion. Feng Yue had very few chances to go to Luoshui, and since the cold was almost better, Zhou Yu still wanted to take her to participate in this event.
"My illness has not completely healed, what should I do if I infect His Royal Highness King Yu when the time comes? It's better for you to go with him, and I'll stay at home with peace of mind. Feng Yue was still reluctant to go.
"That'...... Well, I'll go and decoct it for you. After Zhou Yu finished speaking, he rushed into the kitchen. Feng Yue's condition was what he was most concerned about, and he would not leave if he was not prepared.
Before the medicine was decocted, Chen Jin arrived.
"Brother Zhou, the road in your village is too narrow, and it is inconvenient for the carriage to turn around, so it stops at the entrance of the village, you can ride out with me." Chen Jin's voice came from outside.
"Wait a minute, I'm still frying the medicine!" Zhou Yu's voice floated out of the kitchen.
Chen Jin: "......"
Except for his father, no one seemed to dare to speak to him like this. But Chen Jin was not such a stingy person, turned over and dismounted, and sat in the courtyard.
Feng Liang took Feng Yue out and saluted: "The grass people knock to see King Yu!" ”
"The folk girl knocks on King Yu!"
"Two of you are exempt!" King Yu pulled the two up, looked at Feng Yue and said, "This is my brother and sister, right?" Sure enough, it is a shy and closed moon, no wonder Brother Zhou doesn't even want to eat outside, there is such a beautiful lady at home, Brother Zhou is always thinking about it! ”
"Your Highness! Xianggong is a little casual, if there is any offense to His Highness, please forgive Your Highness! Feng Yue saluted again.
"Eh, Brother Zhou has a strategic mind and some strange skills, I have only been friends with him for a few days, but I feel that I have benefited a lot, how can I not be offended?" Chen Jin smiled and said casually, and then looked at Feng Liang: "This is Brother Zhou's uncle, Brother Feng, right?" ”
"Ouch, Your Highness, you can't afford this, you just call me Feng Liang!" Feng Liang was flattered and said.
"I am friends with Brother Zhou, and his eldest brother is my eldest brother, what if I call Brother Feng?" Chen Jin quickly used words to bring the relationship between the several people closer.
"Your Highness, you are so polite, no wonder Xiao Yu said that he regards you as his good friend!" Feng Liang smiled innocently.
"Oh? Brother Zhou really said that? Chen Jin asked with some joy, he lacked friends the most, and it was not easy to have someone who regarded him as a good friend.
"Of course it's true!" Zhou Yu came out of the kitchen with the medicine: "Xiaoyue, you can drink this medicine hot before going to bed, it will not only benefit your illness, but also help you sleep." ”
"I know, Xianggong will go down with His Highness." Feng Yue tugged at his sleeve and said.
"Okay, then you wait for me to come back at home!" Zhou Yu scratched her nose and said.
Somehow, when Chen Jin saw this scene, he always felt as if he had been fed something......
"Got it, let's go." Feng Yue didn't expect Zhou Yu to be so ambiguous in front of outsiders, and her face was peachy.
Zhou Yu followed Chen in and out of the courtyard.
Seeing the mount of the divine horse, Zhou Yu touched his chin.
"Brother Zhou, get on the horse, what are you doing in a daze?" Chen Jin asked suspiciously.
"Let's just say, I'm not very good at riding horses......" Zhou Yu said with some embarrassment.
Chen Jin was a little surprised at first, and then thought that Zhou Yu lived in a poor Xiaolong Village, and he rarely had the opportunity to come into contact with horses, so it was normal for him not to be able to ride. So he went up first, and then pulled Zhou Yu up and put him behind him.
Although Zhou Yu felt that this posture was a bit strangely ambiguous, it was difficult to say anything......
In this way, the two rode on horses one after the other and galloped out of Xiaolong Village.
The remnant sun was like blood, and the figures of the two teenagers were covered with the blazing flames of the fiery clouds, as if they reflected their hot lives.
When they came to the entrance of Xiaolong Village, Steward Li and a few servants were already waiting here.
I never thought that as soon as Zhou Yu got off the horse, a strong man flashed in front of Zhou Yu with a loud voice, and asked with a serious face: "Who are you?" ”
Faced with this sudden scene, Zhou Yu's body was a little disobedient, and he sat on the ground, and dense beads of sweat oozed from his forehead. Strangely, the feeling, while terrifying, is somewhat familiar......
"Lao Yang, don't be rude!" Chen Jin immediately retreated from the strong man: "This Brother Zhou is my friend!" ”
The strong man surnamed Yang looked at Zhou Yu with some suspicion, and then retreated.
Chen Jin hurriedly helped Zhou Yu up and asked with concern, "Brother Zhou, are you okay?" ”
"It's okay, why is this big brother so aggressive? Is there something offensive about it? Zhou Yu wiped the sweat on his head and asked cautiously. His intuition told him that he couldn't afford to mess with the big man in front of him.
"Brother Zhou, don't blame, he is my guard, his name is Yang Chuan, you can call him Lao Yang. Lao Yang is usually more serious, maybe he thinks you are the one who attacked me......" Chen Jin said with a smile.
"The man who attacked you came with you on the same horse? This reason doesn't make sense......" Zhou Yu glanced at him.
"This ...... This must be a misunderstanding......" Chen Jin had no choice but to laugh and say.
"Have you practiced martial arts?" Yang Chuan, who was standing on the side, suddenly spoke.
"Me?" Zhou Yu pointed at himself, then shook his head firmly and said, "Never." ”
After listening to Zhou Yu's answer, Yang Chuan's square face twisted, and the wrinkles on his forehead became more obvious.
"Lao Yang, what are you doing here? Brother Zhou is my friend, a scholar who lives in Xiaolong Village, so don't be suspicious. Chen Jin spoke again: "Brother Zhou, let's get in the car." ”
Zhou Yu glanced at Yang Chuan vigilantly, and then followed Chen into the carriage, and then everyone set off to Luoshui.
In the carriage.
"Brother Chen, your guards seem to have some prejudices against me." Zhou Yu couldn't help but complain.
"Brother Zhou, don't disturb, Lao Yang is a guard sent by my father to protect my safety, usually a little suspicious, don't think too much." Chen Jin explained.
"That's ......" Zhou Yu nodded, but he was still thinking about the suffocating feeling of oppression.
Outside the carriage.
"Old Yang, what's going on? Zhou Yu is obviously a scholar, why are you so nervous? Steward Li asked.
"You know that our martial arts practitioners will have a sense of qi, and once there are masters around, we will definitely be aware of it." Yang Chuan responded.
"But he is a scholar and has never practiced martial arts, so how can he be a master?" Steward Li wondered.
"If he really hasn't practiced martial arts, he must be a rare martial arts wizard in the world, he feels like a piece of ice that is bubbling cold, which makes people nervous unconsciously." Yang Chuan said.
"Is it really as mysterious as you say?"
"More than that."
