After Imperial Physician Zhou retired, Ruoyao went to the Imperial Hospital to get medicinal materials to make medicine.
After boiling the medicine, Xie Mingxi personally fed Gu Shanchang to drink the bitter hot decoction.
After Gu Shanchang drank the decoction, he broke out in a sweat and became a little more energetic. He sighed to Xie Mingxi: "Master is getting old too. He has never had any illness in these years. Now he is lying on the bed and has to take medicine.
People serve you.”
Xie Mingxi smiled and comforted Master Gu: "It is the right thing for a disciple to serve the master and drink medicine. Master, don't despise the disciple for being clumsy."
There was finally a smile on Gu Shanchang's face: "To be able to trouble the Queen personally to serve and feed the medicine, who else in this world is more blessed than me?"
Isn't it?
Queen Mother Yu had been lying in bed to recuperate for so long. Xie Mingxi had done her best to be filial to her daughter-in-law, but she had never personally served the soup.
When he thought of Queen Mother Yu, Gu Shanchang's heart throbbed again, and the faint smile at the corner of his mouth turned into bitterness.
Xie Mingxi felt uncomfortable in her heart and whispered: "I know that Master is very sad when my mother passes away. Please take care of yourself, Master. Even if it's for me."
Gu Shanchang raised his eyes and stared at the concerned disciple: "Don't worry, I will get better soon."
Gu Shan always keeps his word.
Xie Mingxi felt relieved, gave a few words of advice, and then got up and returned to the mourning hall.
Ruoyao took over from Xie Mingxi and stood by Gu Shanchang's bedside, saying softly: "Even for the sake of the Queen, the young lady should let go of the past and get well as soon as possible."
Gu Shanchang slowly exhaled: "Well, I understand."
The master and servant have been together for many years and have a deep relationship.
Ruoyao didn't have any scruples when speaking, and said in a low voice: "Let me say something that shouldn't be said. As long as the Queen Mother lives, the Emperor and the Queen must be on guard for a day. Now that they have finally survived this day, the Emperor and the Queen can also be thorough
Relax and live a more stable life."
At this time, Ruoyao naturally had no idea that what the emperor and empress were about to do would cause unprecedented turmoil in the Qi court and the public. There was no such thing as a peaceful life.
…
Xie Mingxi was worried about Gu Shanchang's illness, but Aluo's children were also worried after they found out about it. The children had to kneel for half a day every day, and the other half of the day, they came to Jiaofang Hall to accompany Gu Shanchang.
Side of body.
Gu Shanchang felt comfortable and comforted: "I have a minor illness and I will get better soon. You don't have to come to accompany me all the time."
Ah Luo was the most eloquent and immediately whispered: "We only come here for an hour every day to chat with Master and Grandma to relieve our boredom."
Sisters Fu and Rong echoed in unison: "That's what cousin Ah Luo said."
Boys are not so gentle and petty.
Brother Ting said quite straightforwardly: "Actually, I don't think it is necessary to come every day. However, everyone is coming, so I will follow... Cousin Lin, why do you keep blinking at me? Could it be Fei?
Did an insect fly into your eye?"
Brother Lin: "..."
Brother Lin's eyes twitched and he turned his head to the side.
Ah Luo and Brother Ting are old rivals, and they are less violent now. However, they always have a quarrel every three or two days. The two of them are like the tip of a needle, refusing to give in to each other.
"If you don't want to stay here, go to the mourning hall." A Luo turned her away without politeness.
Brother Ting glanced at A Luo sideways: "Who said I'm unhappy? I won't leave."
Staying in the Jiaofang Hall is much better than kneeling in the mourning hall.
Seeing that the two of them were about to fight again, Gu Shanchang immediately coughed and changed the subject: "I'm a little thirsty. Can A Luo bring me a cup of tea?"
Ah Luo glared at Brother Ting, then smiled and responded.
Brother Ting rolled his eyes at A Luo's back.
A Luo seemed to have eyes on her back. She suddenly turned around and caught her in the act. A Luo was furious and said, "Sheng Ting! Who are you rolling your eyes at?"
Brother Ting simply rolled his eyes again: "I'm not irritating anyone, I just rolled my eyes to relieve my boredom."
A Luo: "..."
A Luo was choked so much that she jumped and clenched her fists in anger.
A seven-year-old boy is at the age where he is naughty and active, and cats hate dogs.
Brother Ting held his head high with a provocative look on his face, which was already irritating. What was even more irritating was that he kept saying: "Hey, are you going to fight me again today? If you lose this time, you will be punished to stand again."
It’s embarrassing, but you can’t blame me.”
Brother Lin felt a headache after hearing this, and pulled Brother Ting's sleeve: "Cousin Ting, please stop talking."
Seeing that the situation was not good, Sister Fu tightly held A'luo, whose face was flushed: "Cousin A'luo, the master is still ill, and we are here to accompany him. If there is any trouble here, Aunt Seven will definitely
angry."
Before he finished speaking, familiar footsteps sounded outside the door.
By such a coincidence, Xie Mingxi came at this moment.
…
Xie Mingxi stepped into the dormitory and took in all the children. Her expression was slightly cold, and her eyes fell on A Luo's face: "A Luo, didn't you say you were here to accompany your grandma? Why are you making so much noise here?"
Whenever she had a quarrel with her cousin Ting, her mother would always blame her first.
A Luo always felt aggrieved and sad in the past, and there was some estrangement from her mother. After going to Xie's Mansion that day and having a long talk between mother and daughter, A Luo realized the deep maternal love under her mother's strict words and deeds.
At this time, Xie Mingxi scolded her with a stern face. Ah Luo listened obediently and lowered her head to admit her mistake: "I'm sorry, mother, it's Ah Luo who is not sensible. Ah Luo shouldn't make noises and disturb the tranquility of my grandmother. Mother, please punish Ah Luo!"
Xie Mingxi snorted lightly: "Write it down for now, I will punish you later."
Then, Xie Mingxi glanced at Brother Ting.
His eyes were calm and slightly cool.
Brother Ting trembled all over. He immediately stopped his provocative attitude and honestly lowered his head to admit his mistake: "Seventh Aunt, I was wrong."
Xie Mingxi said lightly: "Tell me, where did you go wrong?"
Brother Ting hesitated for a moment and then said: "My mistake was that I should not have opened my mouth to provoke cousin A Luo, let alone disturbed the master's peace."
Xie Mingxi was quite tolerant towards Brother Ji and others, but was the most indifferent towards Brother Ting. This indifference, even more frustrating than scolding and scolding, frustrated Brother Ting.
Sure enough, Xie Mingxi only asked one question and then withdrew his gaze. He neither scolded nor said he wanted to punish.
Brother Ting escaped this test, but felt an inexplicable loss in his heart.
He would rather be scolded and severely punished by Seventh Aunt...
Chief Gu Shan couldn't see the children's silence, so he smiled and smoothed things over: "The children are making noise, and the house will be more lively. Don't be so sullen. Look how frightened the children are by you."
Xie Mingxi usually has a smile on her face and rarely gets angry when she is sullen.
The children were all afraid of her.
When Gu Shanchang opened his mouth, Xie Mingxi laughed: "Okay, I will listen to Master."
