After sitting for a while, Chu Liangrao couldn't sit still, thinking that there would be two months of grounding after that, and she felt that she was not comfortable anywhere. It's a dog day, even if there is ice in the house, it's still unstoppable, not to mention Chu Liangrao, who is covered in fat, even Du's mother feels that this year's summer is extremely hot.

picked up the fan and fanned it vigorously, Chu Liangrao couldn't help but miss the modern era with air conditioning and cold drinks.

Mother Du took the fan and stood aside and fanned it gently: "Today, I sent a few watermelons from Zhuangzi, which have been calmed with well water, and there is also iced sour plum soup, which is the best way to relieve the heat on such a day." Seeing Chu Liangrao nodding, he ordered to go down, and after a while, Xianglan walked in with a cut watermelon and sour plum soup.

Seeing Xianglan, Du's mother asked, "Where did this girl Xianghe go?" I couldn't help but guess that Xianghe was lazy again.

Putting down the things in her hand, Xianglan explained: "Sister Xianghe is unwell and is resting in the room. Hearing this, Du's mother showed a look that was really like this.

"Xianghe is sick?" Chu Liangrao looked strange, "I was fine just now, how can I say that I am sick when I am sick, do you ask for a doctor?" ”

Xianglan replied respectfully: "If you go back to the county lord, Xianghe is just suffering from heat stroke and has already taken summer pills." "This summer pill is prepared by Dr. Zhong, and the effect is naturally not to be underestimated, although it is not as good as the master's use, but it is much better than what is sold in pharmacies outside. Hearing that Xianghe had already taken medicine, Chu Liangrao didn't ask much. After tasting a piece of watermelon, Chu Liangrao stopped and said, "Let's give you this watermelon." ”

Xianglan happily agreed, and Du's mother withdrew after a few words of instruction and went to visit Xianghe in person. Seeing that Xianghe's face was pale, and she really looked a little sickly, Du's mother became more and more suspicious. Looking for the little maid who helped take care of her, she asked, only to know that Xianghe had vomited a few times after returning to the room, which dispelled her suspicions.

Just when Du's mother was about to leave, Xiangju came over, smiled and said, "Sister Xianglan's illness is really amazing, even my mother came to see her." ”

Mother Du looked at Xiangju with a look of wanting to speak and stopped, and looked down on such a posture from the bottom of her heart, but said patiently on her face: "Look at what you said, when did you feel uncomfortable, Mom, I haven't seen you?" With that, he made a gesture and tapped Xiangju's head.

Xiangju took Du's mother's hand and said affectionately: "Mom's good, the slaves and maids are all in mind." As he spoke, he gestured to Xianghe's room with his eyes, leaned forward and whispered, "I'm afraid that someone will bully my mother's heart and commit something terrible." ”

When Mother Du heard this, her eyes became a little colder, and she looked at Xiangju's flattering smile and asked seriously, "What's going on?" ”

Seeing that Du's mother was a little angry, Xiangju no longer hid it, and said: "The slave maid saw that Sister Xianghe was so sick, so she took a summer pill for her, but she didn't eat it and poured it, and said that this summer pill was too cold and not good for women." Speaking of this, she paused slightly, and when she saw that Mother Du's face was really pale, she said, "The slave maid felt strange, so I came to tell you mother." ”

Hearing this, Mother Du smiled slightly and said, "It's not bad for Xianghe to have such a careful sister as you. After that, he pulled out his hand and said, "Since Xianghe is sick, you have to cheer up, and you can't afford to be sloppy in taking care of the county lord." ”

Hearing this, the joy in Xiangju's eyes couldn't be hidden, and she could only lower her head to block a pair of shining eyes: "Mom, don't worry, the slave and maid should serve the county lord wholeheartedly." ”

Glancing at Xiangju meaningfully, Du's mother slowly left, and her heart was already overturned. After all, Xianghe is the personal maid of the county lord, if he really does something ugly, I am afraid that the reputation of the county lord will also be affected. If it is really a matter of innocence, I am afraid that it will also affect the county lord's family affairs in the future. Now that Chu Liangrao is at an age, it is not far from talking about marriage, so naturally she must not be sloppy in this matter.

Mother Du naturally can't convict Xianghe just based on Xiangju's two sentences, and it is not feasible to ask a doctor at the moment, not to mention whether Xianghe really did such a depraving thing, if it is really implemented, this doctor is also a hidden danger. As for Xiangju, there is no other way than to stabilize her first.

Thinking of Xianghe's previous prevarication of bird's nest and refusal of summer pills, Du's mother didn't want to think in the worst direction, and she had to prepare for the worst.

However, just a few steps away, Du's mother was sweating profusely, Chu Liangrao saw that she took out a handkerchief to wipe her face, Du's mother was willing to answer, and said busily: "I can't do it." Only then did he take out a handkerchief and dip his forehead in his forehead, and replied to tell Chu Liangrao that Xianghe was fine, and it would be good to rest for a few days.

"I'm already sick in this house, Mom, you have to take care of your health." Chu Liangrao advised.

Mother Du answered, her heart was warm, and her nose was a little more sour, and her heart that was still wavering made up her mind.

The next day, the morning drum was beaten once, Chu Liangrao got up, and Xianglan, who was keeping vigil, heard the movement and hurriedly walked in to serve Chu Liangrao and get up. After a while, Xiangju brought the maid to bring the water in, and she was still a little apprehensive, seeing that Chu Liangrao didn't ask Xianghe, she thought that Mother Du had done a good job of thinking for Chu Liangrao, and couldn't help but be happy from the bottom of her heart.

After washing her face, Chu Liangrao, who was still a little dazed, woke up and asked, "Where is Mother Du?" ”

Xiangju rushed to Xianglan and replied: "Mom went to say goodbye to the old lady." ”

Chu Liangrao nodded slightly, and then asked, "Xianghe is better today?" ”

Hearing the county lord mention Xianghe, Xiangju secretly pinched the handkerchief pinned to her waist, and replied as calmly as possible: "Sister Xianghe's body is not refreshed, I am afraid that the county lord will be sick." With a word, it put an end to Chu Liangrao's heart to go to that sick seedling again, Xianglan couldn't help but glance at Xiangju, and then lowered her head again.

After Chu Liangrao had breakfast, Du's mother came back, with a faint sandalwood on her body, obviously staying with the old lady for a short time.

Xianglan, who was waiting outside the door, heard the footsteps and hurriedly got up: "Mom is back, and the county lord is looking for you." ”

Mother Du's footsteps paused slightly, and she didn't greet her as cordially as before, but only nodded lightly and went straight into the house.

Xianglan didn't know why, and there was a little uneasiness in her heart.

"Mom worked hard." Xiangju greeted her attentively, knowing that she can serve in the house now is thanks to Du's mother, she is not like Xianghe's girl, she thinks that when she enters the eyes of the county lord, her eyes are above the top. I thought that my enthusiasm would definitely make Du's mother have a good eye for herself, but she just nodded, Xiangju was not discouraged, she followed Du's mother with a smile, and flattered, "On such a hot day, do you want to drink a cup of herbal tea?" ”

"It's fine." Mother Du nodded and said, "It's just that Xianglan's girl is clumsy." ”

When Xiangju heard this, she hurriedly said, "Aren't there slaves and maids for me?" ”

"Well, you go, the county lord has me here." Mother Du lightly opened the Xiangju, sighed lightly, and then walked into the back room. Seeing Chu Liangrao sitting upright on a chair holding a book to read, a smile appeared in Du's mother's eyes, and she said, "The county lord is really good, you can read this book upside down." ”

Chu Liangrao's face turned red, closed the book and said, "Mom, don't make fun of me." ”

Mother Du shook her head with a smile and said, "The county lord can't be so close to the ice cube if he is greedy for coolness, it is not comfortable if he catches a cold on such a day." ”

Seeing that her actions were guessed by Mother Du, Chu Liangrao coughed lightly, and asked with a serious face, "How is grandmother's health today?" ”
