"What's going on...but you slept too long and had nightmares?"
Ms. Cui thought it took her a while to find her voice - but then it fell on Xu Mingshi's ears... He had never heard his mother speak to anyone in such a gentle and cautious tone, as if she was afraid of breaking some fragile treasure.
Say it!
"Well... I had a very long nightmare..." Xu Mingyi responded in a choked voice.
What I experienced during my lifetime was indeed like a nightmare.
As for why she could continue to dream after death, she was also surprised and had no explanation. After all, it was her first time to die and she had no experience. She had never expected such a situation.
I just wonder if this dream will disappear soon?
She hugged Cui tightly and refused to let go.
Sensing her uneasiness, Mrs. Cui felt quite distressed, which was more distressing than losing a thousand taels of silver in a horse crane.
She patted the girl's back and comforted softly: "It doesn't matter, it's just a dream. From today on, don't read those books about ghosts and strange stories anymore..."
It was all my fault that my second uncle had a bad idea, saying that watching those gadgets would refresh her mind, which frightened the little girl into having nightmares.
After thinking about it, he added: "If you are really scared, just go to my place and sleep for a few nights..."
Mother is the most powerful protector in this world. Only when mother is here can children feel at ease.
Xu Mingshi twitched his lips when he heard this.
My mother is really good at taking advantage of opportunities.
But this situation was really weird, and he couldn't bear it and broke it: "Do you still want me to go buy food and come back? If not, I will go back and read a book."
Xu Mingyi, who was still holding Cui, shook his head.
She is not hungry, and she does not want to waste time on eating. She just wants to stay with her family for a while and talk more.
Xu Mingshi: "Didn't you say yesterday that you wanted to eat the ice powder from Qingfeng Tower?"
The ice powder from Qingfenglou?
Crystal clear and cold brown sugar ice powder, covered with some chewy little balls, and now covered with a layer of fresh peanuts, crushed watermelon and raisins... scoop a spoonful into your mouth, it is sweet but not greasy and refreshing to relieve the heat.
Xu Mingyi poked her head out of Cui's arms, with tears still in her eyes, and looked at Xu Mingshi: "In addition to the ice powder and jade shrimp dumplings from Qingfenglou, I also want Guoji's steamed buns and jujube cakes... and the ones from Heshi Street.
Crispy skin roast duck, remember to slice it thinly and ask for a few more spring pancakes..."
"...can you eat it?"
Moreover, these places are not close together. Is this deliberately trying to tire him to death?
Mrs. Cui stared: "Why can't you eat it? Go quickly, remember to use ice cubes to separate the ice powder, the duck meat can't get cold!"
Zhao Zhao wanted to eat, so even if he bought all the edible things in the capital, he could only taste half a mouthful.
Xu Mingshi looked impatient, but he still took the servant out of the house without any delay.
Xu Mingyi had a full meal.
Mrs. Cui, because the housekeeper came looking for her and said she had something important to do, she had no choice but to go back to see someone for the time being, but she also agreed to come back in the evening to accompany her.
Hey, it’s troublesome for my daughter to be too clingy.
But she can still bear it, so she might as well be more clingy.
After Cui left, Akui came in with medicine.
"What kind of medicine is this?" Xu Mingyi asked.
Akui was stunned for a moment: "Of course it's a medicine to treat the girl's drowsiness."
Narcolepsy?
Xu Mingyi was a little surprised.
This dream was quite strange, as it actually related to her past suffering from narcolepsy.
"Leave it alone."
She had already taken enough unjust medicine for this "illness", so there was no reason to ask for trouble if her dream was interrupted. With a stomach like this, wouldn't it be uncomfortable to eat an extra bowl of powdered sugar?
"Girl..." Akui's temper, which she only thought was her own girl, got angry again.
But I don't know what I thought of, but the girl who was always cautious and thoughtful didn't try to persuade her any more.
At this time, voices came from outside.
"Zhaozhao is awake?" This was a quiet and sweet girl's voice.
Xu Mingyi frowned slightly.
Some thoughts appeared in my mind, but the next moment they suddenly went blank.
"girl!"
Ah Zhu hurriedly supported Xu Mingyi who fell asleep suddenly in the chair.
"Zhaozhao fell asleep again?"
Seeing Akui come out, the girl waiting outside raised her head and asked in a low voice.
The girl looks about sixteen or seventeen years old. She is tall and slim, and her facial features tend to be ordinary. However, her complexion is fair, and her clothing and jewelry may seem simple but she put a lot of thought into it, so she has a somewhat clean and elegant temperament.
Aoi nodded lightly, and the girl sighed worriedly.
She and Akui left the outer hall together, and suddenly asked: "I heard that Madam has been here today? Zhao Zhao has been a bit out of temper recently due to his illness... He has never angered Madam, has he?"
"The girl and Madam get along very well."
A look of half-serious surprise appeared on the girl's face.
It turns out that the news she heard was true?
Did Zhao Zhao really hug his wife and call her mother?
She wanted to ask more questions, but she saw Akui walking in a hurry and had already returned to Baoxia.
…
After three days of this, Xu Mingyi woke up from his sleep again, but leaned against the window and fell into deep thought.
This dream was really too long and too real.
At first, she was immersed in the joy of seeing her family again, and had no time to think about many details. However, after careful observation over the past two days, she became more and more surprised.
Judging from her appearance in the mirror, the ages of everyone around her, and the fact that her grandfather will soon return to Beijing, her "dream" is exactly the same as it was six years ago!
Is this a dream, or has she really returned to the age of sixteen?
Various speculations emerged in his mind, and Xu Mingyi's heart beat rapidly.
Right now, she needs to confirm these speculations——
"Girl, it's time to take medicine."
Akui came over with medicine in hand.
Xu Mingyi said: "Ah Zhu, go and guard outside."
Azhu agreed without hesitation.
"There is no need to fry this medicine anymore." Xu Mingyi said bluntly, looking at the medicine bowl on the tray in Akui's hand.
Akui looked at her in surprise.
The girl's tone was calm and seemed to have nothing to do with willfulness - but if she wasn't unwilling to take medicine, why did the girl say such a thing?
After all, the girl in her family has always cherished her life. This time she got this strange disease. She often opened her eyes and said: "Akui, where is my medicine?". Every time a new doctor or imperial doctor was invited, it was inevitable.
You have to ask, "Doctor, can my illness kill someone?"
Because one doctor said something ambiguous, "I have never seen such a strange disease. If I continue to sleep for a long time, I am afraid that the foundation of my body will be destroyed due to the disorder." The girl reluctantly went to the doctor and left, turning around.
I cried loudly into the pillow
, and sobbed bluntly, "I'm still young and don't want to die." "If I die, my grandfather and father will definitely not be able to bear it... If you calculate it carefully, without me, eight out of ten of the Zhenguo Duke's offices will be destroyed."
"Jiu is going to collapse" - saying this made me cry even harder.
Thinking of this, Akui's eyes were filled with worry and confusion: "Why doesn't the girl want to take medicine?"
Xu Mingyi didn't answer and asked instead: "I didn't want to take medicine several times before, and you didn't persuade me too much. Why is that?"
