In the feudal era, men and women were not close to each other, and everyone had to avoid suspicion. What's more, it's late at night, and sister-in-law is the most likely to be spread by scandalous news, such as "sister-in-law, half wife", "sister-in-law's ass and balls,
Folk proverbs such as "Half as much as your brother-in-law" are often heard, so you must pay attention to avoid suspicion. Of course, the most important thing is that Zhu Pingan is eager to return home and can't wait to see Li Shu. So Zhu Pingan just nodded and said,
After saying "It's me", he turned around and walked into Jingxiang Garden.
"Then, that's the fifth... fifth uncle???" The eldest brother Jinque opened his mouth and stared blankly at Zhu Ping'an's back as he disappeared into the Jingxiang Garden, revealing a full expression on his face.
Face with disbelieving expression.
"It seems so..." Yin Ge nodded blankly, as if his whole body had been struck by lightning.
After the two girls finished speaking, they looked at each other and further confirmed their opinions from each other's expressions. Then their four eyes opened wider and wider, "Ah... the fifth uncle was released from prison so soon?"
!”
This lady is naturally beautiful, but he didn’t even look at me. Huh, he’s in a hurry to be reincarnated. I’m not a hundred times prettier than that sick cat!
Seeing Zhu Ping'an, the sixth lady just nodded and hurriedly entered the Jingxiang Garden without even looking at her. She almost broke the handkerchief in her hand.
"Get out of jail, get out of jail, what's all the fuss about!"
Miss Six had a gloomy face, glared at the two girls angrily, grabbed a handful of handkerchiefs with her little hands, stamped her feet vigorously, gritted her teeth and slapped the two girls in the face, then walked away with a swish of her waist.
.
Miss, you were more surprised than us just now... Jinque and Yinge hid their words in their hearts and hurriedly chased after them.
"What a strong medicinal smell?"
He didn't notice the smell of the soup at first, but when Zhu Ping'an entered the gate of Jingxiang Garden, a strong smell of the soup hit his face, and it was hard not to notice.
"Who is sick?"
Boiling Chinese medicine means that someone is sick. When he thought of this, Zhu Ping'an's heart tightened and his steps speeded up a bit.
Walking into the courtyard, Zhu Pingan saw the little maid Hua'er coming out of the kitchen carrying a bowl of steamed buns.
"Hua'er, who is this soup for?" Zhu Ping'an hurriedly stepped forward and asked, his heart already in his throat.
"Uncle, this soup is for the young lady." When Hua'er, the little maid of Baozi heard Zhu Ping'an asked, she nodded her head and replied. After she finished answering, she felt something was wrong and looked at herself.
She looked at the decoction and then at Zhu Pingan, and then she reacted. She screamed out excitedly and almost spilled the decoction in her hand. Unfortunately, Li Shu always ranked first in Hua'er's heart.
Hua'er regarded the soup as life, so he didn't spill it, but he was so excited that he couldn't speak incoherently, "Ah, my uncle...it's my uncle!!! My uncle, are you back?!"
"It's for Sister Li!"
When Zhu Ping'an heard that Hua'er said that the soup was for Li Shu, his heart was so heavy that he almost jumped out of his throat. His face suddenly turned pale, and his palms became sweaty with worry. Without saying a word, he walked over
Running towards the bedroom, when Hua'er, the fast little maid of Baozi, came to her senses, all she saw was Zhu Ping'an's back disappearing into the room.
"Uncle...wait for me..." Hua'er, Baozi's little maid, held the decoction in her hands and started running to catch up without even catching up.
In midsummer, the nights are slightly cool, so before going to bed, one usually chooses to open the window to let in the wind and cool down the heat in the house. However, the doors and windows of the master bedroom in the Jingxiang Garden are closed, and a plum red felt curtain is hung at the door, lest there be a little
The wind came in, making the temperature inside the master bedroom several degrees higher than outside, and even the smell of the soup was much stronger than outside.
In the master bedroom.
Li Shu was half-lying on a six-poster bed with huanghuali clusters and cloud patterns, horseshoe legs, with plum blossom embroidered pillows behind her. The curtains on the bed were half-draped with blue and gold rims, and the mats and pillows on the bed were laid out in a cool way.
They have all been removed, and there is an extra mattress than before, with a double mandarin duck quilt, and a pine flower-colored butterfly embroidered quilt is added to the white pajamas.
Li Shu's usually rosy and charming face was now a little sickly pale, and she looked like the sickly beauty Sister Lin.
Qin'er knelt down in front of the bed and gently rubbed Li Shu's shoulders with her small hands. There were three girls waiting in the room.
"Miss, the soup is almost ready. If you take this today, you can ask Dr. Zhang for a follow-up visit tomorrow." Qin'er gently rubbed Li Shu's shoulders while whispering.
"The medicine prescribed by Uncle Zhang is bitter and unpleasant... I really don't want to drink it..." Li Shu frowned when she heard that she was going to take the medicine.
"Miss, good medicine tastes bitter but is good for the disease. Even if you don't do it for yourself, you have to do it for..." Qin'er advised.
Just when Qin'er was persuading Li Shu, the curtain of the master bedroom was opened, and Zhu Pingan strode in.
"That girl is frizzy. Don't you know that young lady can't be exposed to wind? If it affects young lady's recovery, be careful..."
When Qin'er heard the noise, she turned around angrily, ready to see which girl was so careless and wanted to give her a lesson. She had told her so many times that she couldn't be exposed to the wind, and she still opened the door so wide.
.
As soon as Qin'er turned her head, she saw Zhu Pingan striding over with a worried look on his face. She was stunned for a moment, then immediately recognized Zhu Pingan, and then she was stunned, and her words were stuck in her mouth.
"Sister Li, why are you sick? What's wrong with you? Is it serious?" Zhu Ping'an was anxious and worried. As soon as he entered the door, he went straight to Li Shu and squeezed Qin'er who was kneeling on the bed to rub Li Shu's shoulders.
aside.
Li Shu was facing the bedroom door. She saw Zhu Pingan immediately. Although Zhu Pingan had a stubble and his clothes were shabby, Zhu Pingan just opened the door curtain. Before anyone came in, Li Shu recognized Zhu Pingan at a glance.
Safety.
"Brother Zhu."
Seeing Zhu Ping'an's return, Li Shu's sickly pale pretty face couldn't help but add a touch of color.
"Brother Zhu, why are you like this? You have lost weight...Brother Zhu, you have suffered in prison..."
Li Shu looked at the sad stubble on Zhu Pingan's face and the shabby clothes on his body, and tears suddenly flowed down. He stretched out his small hand to touch Zhu Pingan's rough face, and the tears on Li Shu's pretty face became even more intense.
"I'm fine, I haven't suffered at all. I ate well in prison, slept soundly, and lived a very nourishing life. Really, I can't bear to let the Holy One release me so early." Zhu
Ping An held Li Shu's little hand and comforted Li Shu with a smile on his face.
"you're lying."
Li Shu couldn't help but burst into laughter and said with a cry.
