The Golden Bough and the Dog verse 19
The kitten was brought by Yun Zhu in the evening, and it had been washed and the wounds on its legs were bandaged. has a docile temperament, and after being handed to Yun Yuan, he nested honestly.
Yun Yuan is rare, and he refuses to let go after holding it in his arms.
Tang Xian let her play for a while, tested the temperature of the decoction, and said, "Sit up, drink the medicine first." ”
Yun Yuan's black eyes blinked twice, and as if she hadn't heard it, she continued to pet her kitten seriously.
Tang Xian chuckled in her heart, knowing that what she was most afraid of had happened.
Refusing to drink medicine.
She patiently persuaded: "Be nice, drink the medicine while it's hot, and you will be cured tomorrow." ”
Yun Yuan shrank into the mattress and muttered, "I drank it when it was not dark, and I don't need to drink it today." ”
She cooperated with the first medicine she drank in the evening, but she refused to go to bed at night as the doctor specially instructed her.
The child was reluctant to drink the medicine, so even if he handed the spoon to her mouth, he could not pry it open. No matter how Tang Xian persuaded her, she refused to speak, shrank into the brocade quilt, and played with the kitten by herself.
"Did I tell you big brother?" Tang Xian threatened.
In the past, when her brother was disobedient, her father and mother would use her grandfather to intimidate her brother. My grandfather was old-fashioned and serious, and this trick worked every time.
But it doesn't work when applied to Yun Yuan, she is not afraid of Yun stopping at all.
Tang Xian turned to other maids for help, but those people were only transferred this morning, and she was not as familiar with Yun Yuan, let alone had no idea.
After a stalemate for most of the day, the heat of the decoction dissipated, and he failed to persuade people. Tang Xian couldn't, so she had to ask someone to bring the soup back to the kitchen to warm it.
As soon as the medicine bowl ended, Yun Yuan came to his senses and said in surprise: "The cat licked me!" It's so cute! ”
The voice was thin and slimy, and as a result, I didn't get the curiosity and amazement of others when I finished speaking.
Yun Yuan glanced at Tang Xian's expression, her eyes rolled around, and said, "Sister, do you want to hug my cat?" ”
Tang Xian said: "Then you will drink the medicine obediently later." ”
Yun lowered his head, hugged the kitten and turned over and faced inside.
Yesterday, Tang Xian thought she was cute, but today she began to have a headache because of her.
Replaced by her younger siblings, she has other ways to coax people into submission. Now that she is restricted by her identity, she doesn't treat Yun Yuan like that, especially under the premise that she almost had a misunderstanding not long ago.
The second bowl of medicine was delivered, and Tang Xian asked Yun Zhu to inform him of this.
When the decoction warmed up, the door rang softly, the clouds stopped, and when I entered the house, I saw three maids standing at the end of the bed with caramel candy, pastries and towels, and Tang Xian was sitting at the head of the bed, with black medicinal juice in her hand.
He approached, and Tang Xian stood up, the two of them always at least three paces apart.
Facing Tang Xian, Yun Zhu couldn't pull his face, so he simply didn't look at her, and simply bent down to snatch the kitten away from Yun Yuan's arms.
Yun Yuan's arms were empty, and he sat up anxiously to compete with him, and was pressed on the couch by cutting his arms.
Yun stopped and ordered, "Take the medicine." ”
Yun Xuan was like a thin kitten in his hands, unable to make any splashes, and said angrily: "Zu Xun is not allowed to take medicine!" ”
"The elixir of immortality that the ancestors are not allowed to eat."
After speaking, Yun stopped ignoring her crying, sat down on the edge of the couch, wrapped his left hand around the back of her neck, stuck her chin, and forced Yun Yuan to open his mouth with a slight force.
"Medicine." He said.
Tang Xian was stunned, and the maid didn't react.
Without waiting for someone to hand over the medicine, Yun Zhu frowned and glanced at her, leaned over and picked up the medicine bowl, and poured it directly into Yun Yuan's mouth.
Tang Xian had never seen anyone treat her sister like this, and when she heard Yun Yuan's "woo" cry, she couldn't bear it and quietly went out of the room.
It was already dark outside, and a string of lanterns hung five steps under the eaves, which were bright and shining, and the moon in the sky was not bright enough.
But it's okay, the surroundings are bright enough so that Tang Xian can see the surroundings.
She sat under the porch, leaning back against the vermilion pillars, and heard the clouds in the room stop: "If you don't obey, go home." ”
Probably after pouring two sips, she gave Yun Yuan a chance to breathe, her voice was extremely aggrieved, and she cried: "I hate you!" I'm going to find my second brother! ”
"Go, you two were sold together."
Yun Yuan didn't know if he was frightened by Yun Zhu's words, or if he was drugged again, and only heard a whimper.
That's nice. Tang Xian was envious in her heart, it was good to have a relative by her side, even if she was fighting all day long.
She let out a long sigh, bent her knees, leaned her side face on her knees, and looked up at the oval moon hanging in the air outside the eaves, with a blurred halo, guessing whether Yuzhou had been a rainy or sunny day recently.
I don't know if my parents can see the same broken moon as me.
Behind him, there was a cry again: "I want to sue my grandmother, you bully people......"
"Drink the rest myself, or should I continue to pour it?" The brother and sister each said their own thing.
"I want to, I want to hear stories." Yun Yuan sobbed and bargained.
Yun Zhu's answer was cold and ruthless: "You want to be beaten." ”
Tang Xian listened to the conversation between the chicken and the duck, and couldn't help laughing, laughing and laughing, and found that the moon in front of her was blurred, and her face was also cool.
She reached up and touched her cheeks, a damp streak on her cheek.
When I was in the imperial mausoleum, everyone had no relatives and no reason, and at first there were always concubines and maids hiding and crying, but after a long time, they were all a little numb and gradually couldn't cry.
Everyone is the same, no one is better than the other, what is there to cry about?
No matter how heart-rending the cry is, I still have to be alone in the imperial tomb for the rest of my life.
Tang Xian hadn't cried for a long time, she didn't want to shed tears, but for some reason, she couldn't hold back for a while listening to the noise of other people's brothers and sisters.
She wiped the tears from her face with the back of her hand, wiped one away, and another new one trickled down, wetting her fingers.
"I misunderstood you, but I didn't do anything to embarrass you, did I?"
Caught off guard, the sound of clouds stopping came from behind the side.
Tang Xian's body shook, hurriedly put down her legs, and covered her cheeks with both hands to wipe her tears.
She didn't want to make a fool of herself in front of Yun Zhu.
Yun Yuan's medicine, the first half of the bowl was poured by Yun Yuan, and the second half of the bowl was watched by him, and Yun Yuan held the bowl and drank it himself. After drinking, he threw Yun Yuan on the couch, and when Yun stopped stepping out of the room, he saw Tang Xian who was crying silently.
The lights in the court were bright, illuminating the tears that kept rolling down her face, like pearls.
She shrunk back, even more helpless than the sick Yun Yuan, surrounded by boundless loneliness and abyss-like anguish.
This kind of emotion should not be in a young and beautiful girl.
Yun Zhu couldn't figure out why she was crying, just recently, the only thing that made her feel wronged was that in the evening, he misunderstood the cause of Yun Yuan's injury.
Is the suspicion in his eyes too obvious?
Sooner or later, this matter will have to be faced, Yun Zhu no longer hesitated, and said: "If it hurts your heart, I will not compensate you." ”
Tang Xian's tears that she quickly stopped "swooped", broke through her eyelashes again, and rushed out like a river.
She bit her lip and tried to hold back, but it backfired, and a suppressed cry leaked from her lips and teeth.
People are like that, being alone in times of grief may soon be able to stop. Once you are comforted or asked, it is difficult to control yourself.
Looking at her, Yun Zhu's brows twisted into mountains and rivers, and after a while, he repeated: "I don't compensate you." Say, what do you want? ”
Tang Xian's tears were like a river, crying so much that her ears were buzzing, and the sound of Yun stopping was like a curtain of water, and it was hazy when it came into her ears.
But she still understood, bit her lower lip and tried to stop her tears, and choked up: "Then you, you let me go, go." ”
"Okay." Yun stopped and said, before this word reached Tang Xian's ears, he said the next sentence, "Tell me where Yanxia is hidden, and I will promise you." ”
Tang Xian was stunned, knowing that this was impossible, the sadness in her heart rose again, and she covered her face with her hands and cried loudly.
.
Early the next morning, Zhuang Lian came to visit Yun Yuan with candied candy man, coaxed the little girl, and he went outside to comfort Tang Xian.
Tang Xian's face was red and her ears were red.
She didn't know how long she had been crying last night, and when she finally finished venting her emotions, Yun Zhu was gone, and there were a few maids in the room, carefully asking her if she needed a warm towel.
Tang Xian didn't know how she fell asleep last night, and when she woke up this morning, she thought it was a dream, until she saw the maid's dodgy eyes.
Even Zhuang Lian, who was not in the house yesterday, knew about it, it was too embarrassing.
"Childe's bad temper hasn't been a day or two, don't worry about him. In this way, I will apologize for him, and I can get you whatever you want. ”
Tang Xian raised her eyes, and Zhuang Lian hurriedly said, "It's not okay to leave the house." ”
He was too deep into the play, and added: "There are many bad people outside, my uncle doesn't worry about you leaving alone, and I have to wait for you to recover your memory and find out Meng Gongzi." ”
Tang Xian was so angry that she slammed the table.
Driving Zhuang Lian away, she went into the house to see Yun Yuan.
Yun Yuan drank two patches of medicine yesterday, and his spirit improved a lot, and he sat on a low couch in front of the window to eat candied fruit, and when he saw her come in, he waved at her, and then put the rest of the maids back.
Tang Xian felt that the only one in the house who wouldn't see her jokes was this ignorant little girl.
She sat down and sighed.
"Here you go." Yun Yuan handed over the candied fruit, watched Tang Xian eat one, and slowly moved towards her.
Tight with Tang Xian, she tugged at Tang Xian's sleeve and asked in a low voice, "Did my brother bully you last night?" ”
Thunderbolt in the clear sky!
Tang Xian almost choked to death with the candied fruit in her mouth, coughed a few times, and waved her hand anxiously, "Don't talk nonsense, there's nothing!" ”
"Then why are you crying?" Yun Yuan's clear eyes were full of innocent incomprehension, "My brother likes to bully people, and as soon as he bullies me, I cry." ”
Tang Xian didn't know how to explain to her, and she didn't have the face to face this, so she said nonsense: "I'm hungry, hungry and crying." ”
Yun Yuan said: "Then you say, let someone bring you food." ”
"Well, I'll say it next time."
Yun Yuan nodded seriously, and saw that he really believed it.
Tang Xian's heart was slightly relieved, and she shook her head and said, "It's okay if I didn't bully you." Zu Xun is not allowed to bully the girl, if he dares, I will write to my grandmother and my father......"
Zu Xun, it's Zu Xun again, this is the third time Tang Xian has heard this word.
