Chapter 290: The Fish Dies, the Net Breaks
At dusk, when the smoke began to rise from the rooftops of the houses, the north wind that had been whistling with snow particles all day finally stopped, and the thick snow on the street turned a light orange under the afterglow of the setting sun, and it looked as delicious as shaved ice in the summer.
The children, who had been locked up in the house for a day, were finally free, and gathered in groups to build snowmen and have snowball fights, leading the big yellow dog that I don't know who was raising to run around and creak the snow under their feet.
A joyful and peaceful scene.
Shangguan Yun, who was dressed in court clothes in the sedan chair, stretched out his hand to open the curtains and looked at it, listening to the laughter and laughter coming from outside, and his always indifferent face couldn't help but smile slightly.
The so-called peaceful and prosperous era is probably like this.
It's a pity......
The smile slowly faded, Shangguan Yunmi pursed his thin lips, withdrew his hand and sat back in the sedan chair, and let the darkness surround him.
"My lord, do you need to speed up your journey?" There was a deliberately lowered voice from the personal guard outside, "Second master, he ......"
Shangguan Yun closed his eyes, and seemed reluctant to bring up this topic, and only after a long time did he say in a deep voice, "The doctor has already invited him?" ”
"I'm already pleased." The guard grabbed a knife in one hand and nodded, "It was said that he invited the most famous old doctor Ji in the Chengdong Rejuvenation Workshop." ”
"What kind of illness is it?"
"This ......," the guard looked a little embarrassed, "the subordinates just listened to Wang Zheng talk about it, and the specifics are not clear." ”
Shangguan Yun was silent for a moment, then opened his eyes, frowned and looked at the sedan curtain in front of him and said, "Go back." ”
After receiving the order, the sedan chair drivers did not dare to delay any longer, walked fast under their feet, and returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion after a while.
The guards lifted the sedan curtain thousands of times, "My lord, it's here." ”
Shangguan agreed, lifted the hem of his clothes and got out of the sedan chair, his face was still indifferent and detached, as if he had never cared about the things around him.
Raise his feet and walk to the crane room of Shangguan Xing.
In a few days it was Chinese New Year's Eve, and there were many things to prepare for in the DPRK, and just when he was too busy, he suddenly received the news that his uncle was seriously ill.
I haven't seen him for a few days, and my uncle was obviously full of anger before entering the palace, so how could he suddenly say that he fell down?
Shangguan Yun's eyebrows furrowed to form a Sichuan character, but he kept moving forward for half a moment.
Although I don't really believe that Shangguan Xinghe, who has always been strong-bodied, will have an accident, but after all, people are old, and illness or something can't be avoided, what if there is a case?
He only has two relatives left, and he will never allow them to have any more accidents, even if he knows that his uncle has a lot of things to hide from him, he can't just watch him suffer from illness.
The little guy guarding the door saw Shangguan Yun and hurriedly stepped aside.
There were several charcoal basins burning in the house, and the curtains used to keep out the wind hung down layer by layer, and Shangguan Xinghe's slightly heavy breathing and occasional coughing sound could be heard inside, and a foul smell of medicine was permeated around him.
It's like a bezoar soup mixed with gypsum, bitter and astringent, with a choking acidity.
Shangguan Yun's good-looking eyebrows couldn't help but twist up, Rao is he couldn't stand the smell of drinking medicine all year round.
"Xiangye!" Old Doctor Ji just walked out of it after the consultation, and when he saw Shangguan Yun, he hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "Old Ji Peiming, see Xiangye!" ”
The little boy next to him was also a little panicked, hanging his head and not daring to look at Shangguan Yun.
Shangguan Yun's eyes flashed thoughtfully, and he stepped forward to help the master and apprentice, "Doctor Ji doesn't need to be polite...... I don't know Uncle Xiaguan, what's the situation now? ”
"This ......" counts the ninth cold winter season, but fine beads of sweat appeared on the door of the old doctor Ji's head, he looked up at Shangguan Yun, and hurriedly looked away, obviously not used to lying, "Forgive me for being old and incompetent, the condition of the second master of your mansion is really ...... Dangerous, the old man is really powerless, Xiangye should please be smart! ”
Is it powerless or dare not provoke this matter, Shangguan Yun glanced at the faint figure behind the curtain, and already had a certain number in his heart.
"If that's the case, then it's not a bother." Shangguan Yun put his hands behind his back and commanded sideways, "Come on, send the old doctor back." ”
"Farewell." Doctor Ji beckoned to the child next to him, and the master and apprentice carried the medicine box and left in a hurry.
Shangguan Yun lowered his long eyelashes, turned to move forward, and the two maids guarding the room hurriedly pulled the curtain open so that he could pass through.
The smell of medicine behind the curtain was even stronger, and Shangguan Xinghe was lying on the bed, his face was blue and white, and his chest was rising and falling quickly.
Lan Xin stood beside the bed with a worried face, and from time to time helped him calm down.
Could it be that my uncle's illness ...... It's true?
Shangguan Yun tightened his two sword eyebrows, walked to the side of the bed and shouted in a low voice, "Uncle? ”
Lan Xin hurriedly stood up and looked at him with unconcealed joy in his eyes, "Young master." ”
Shangguan Yun nodded at her, his expression softened, "Thank you for your hard work." ”
"Taking care of her father-in-law is Xin'er's job, and Xin'er is not hard."
Shangguan Xinghe, who was lying on the bed, raised his eyes slightly when he heard the voice, and when he saw that it was Shangguan Yun, he coughed twice on his chest, and said with a somewhat unsteady breath, "...... Coming back? ”
"Hmm." Shangguan Yun responded a little stiffly, reached out and took the teapot on the side, poured a cup of warm water and handed it over, "Drink some water first...... Uncle, but still feel uncomfortable? ”
"Nothing...... It's always like this when people get old. Shangguan Xinghe shook his head, gasped and refused the water cup he handed over, as if it took a lot of effort to open his mouth, "Yun'er, if, cough cough...... If my uncle is not better...... Promise me one thing...... One thing. ”
"My nephew won't let anything happen to my uncle." Shangguan Yun paused, and subconsciously avoided this topic, "Uncle has always been physically tough, as long as he recuperates a little, he will definitely get better soon, don't worry." ”
Shangguan Xinghe frowned when he heard this, and glanced to the side with a somewhat ugly face, "Xin'er, you step back first." ”
"Yes, father-in-law." Lan Xin obediently responded, cleaned up the things on the table, and obediently retreated outside the door.
As soon as she left, Shangguan Xinghe grabbed Shangguan Yun's hand suddenly, the green tendons on the back of his hand were bulging, and his eyes were even more wide-ranging, and he hissed, "Yun'er, promise uncle!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was another earth-shattering cough.
Shangguan Yun hurriedly patted his chest to smooth his breath, and after he stabilized, he reluctantly nodded under his expectant eyes, "Okay, as long as it is something that my nephew can do." ”
Shangguan Xinghe's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly gasped and said, "Promise...... Cough! Promise my uncle, tonight, tonight...... Just leave here with Lan Xin! Walk ...... The farther away the better, wait for your uncle to call you back...... Come back again. ”
"Why?" Shangguan Yun sat up straight, probably thinking of something, and his face sank instantly, "Uncle, shouldn't you ......have given up yet?"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly received a heavy blow on his stamina, and Shangguan Yun's eyes were dark, and he didn't even have time to snort, and fell forward without the ability to resist.
Behind him, Ke'an turned out of the darkness and looked at Shangguan Yun who was already unconscious with a somewhat complicated expression, "Lord, we treat the young master like this...... Is it really okay? ”
"This seat is for his good." Shangguan Xinghe sat up straight, pressed his chest and coughed a few more times, but his face was no longer as lifeless and gray as Fang Cai, "Take advantage of now...... Take him down and get him off as planned, ahem! Leaving the secret passage without being notified by me...... Don't come back, just go to the Wind Riding Racecourse, where ...... Someone will...... will answer you. ”
Ke'an looked at his weak appearance, and a trace of unbearability flashed on his face, "But Lord, your current body ......"
"I'm in good health!" Shangguan Xinghe opened his eyes abruptly and said, and as soon as the words fell, there was a violent cough.
"Lord!"
"No more nonsense! Do as I am told! ”
"Yes!" Ke An gritted his teeth, didn't dare to stimulate him more, and hurriedly stepped forward to help the unconscious Shangguan Yun to his shoulder, nodded to Shangguan Xinghe, and retreated from the secret passage on the side.
Dead silence returned to the room.
The dim light leaked in through the window, and Shangguan Xinghe sat on the bed for a long time before shouting in a dumb voice, "Someone." ”
A man in black came in through the window and knelt down, "What does the Lord command?" ”
"Let Alehu come over, I have something to do with him immediately."
"Order!" The man in black bowed his head respectfully in response, and quickly retreated as he came.
When the sun took its last rays, the room was completely darkened.
Shangguan Xinghe was stuck in the center of the bed, sitting with his back against the wall, a trace of ruthlessness flashed on his handsome and elegant face, "Jiang Fenghao, this is the ...... you forced me"
………………
When the lights of Wanjia were on, He Xiaoqiao was lazy and didn't want to cook, so he asked his subordinates to wash the vegetables and all kinds of fresh meat, cut them into slices and serve them on the table, and then called the rest of the house to gather around the stove together.
Eating hot pot on a snowy day is not as enjoyable as in summer, but it is convenient and affordable.
The large copper pot in the center of the table is steaming upwards, and the unique spicy choking mixed with the aroma of meat and vegetables at the bottom of the spicy pot fills the air, and the mutton slices and pork belly slices that can almost transmit light can be soaked in the pot a little, dipped in the fragrant sauce mixed with peanuts and sesame seeds, and take a bite, it is fragrant and spicy, and the whole body is warmed up.
That feeling is really comfortable.
A group of nearly seven or eight people gathered around, only chopsticks were flying on the table, and everyone was worried about pulling food into their bowls, grabbing all kinds of food.
"Let go of that row of rice cakes! They're mine! Lu Ziqi still had a large fish ball stuffed in his mouth, and proudly announced on the stool.
"Fart! Got your name written on it? If you have the ability to shout at them, see if they should be? Hong Fang and Steward Liao collectively complained, and the latter even relied on the old man to squeeze Lu Ziqi away with a barrel-like figure, and pushed the plate containing the rice cake in front of him quite recklessly.
This move immediately won various condemnations, including ghosts and others.
As the owner of the house, Jiang Fenghao was extremely sad that he actually met such a shameless person, so he packed up all the dishes he liked on the table and took them away, and under the contempt of everyone's raised middle fingers, he confidently took his daughter-in-law to the table next to him to start another stove, and out of sight.
"Come, lady, eat a shrimp." The good man in the house is courteous and flattering.
"Try the rice cake again, it tastes good."
"And your favorite mutton shabu, no spicy, feel free to eat."
"Tired of it? How about another cabbage heart? ”
…………
"Why do I feel goosebumps?" Lu Ziqi bit a string of bloody tofu in his mouth and said vaguely, he really couldn't look at the standard wife and slave appearance of his junior brother.
In broad daylight...... No, in front of everyone's eyes, is it really good to stimulate them to be lonely with such a big show of affection!
Hong Fang, who has been rid of his status as a single for a long time and has successfully promoted to become a father, smiled, "You are pure envy, jealousy and hatred." If you are not convinced, just marry a daughter-in-law and go home as soon as possible, just like us! ”
"That's right." The white head of the object, who already had a feeling, nodded in agreement while peeling the shrimp shell to support his brother.
I'm still single, but there are also many girls who rush to come over and join in the fun, "Do you want to brother, I'll introduce you to one?" Everyone has a beautiful little jasper...... Which one do you prefer? ”
Lu Ziqi's eyes rolled, put down his chopsticks, cocked the orchid, and smiled at the three of them: "Recently, women have dressed up a lot, and their tastes are slightly different...... Is there a man who looks delicate, gentle, generous, and empathetic, and can cook? ”
"......" Hong Fang, the white-headed ghost, and the three of them shook their bodies at the same time, and they were determined to pick up the plate together and squeeze to the other side to the other side, and they were ten steps away from him for safety.
I don't know who this shemale is!
