After a while, Sheng Sleeping Crane, who did not hesitate to exert external force but still had some moisture in his hair, walked into the outer room with a water basin. As soon as he entered the door, he breathed a silent sigh of relief: Sheng Weiqiao was wrapped in a quilt and leaning against the hidden bag. , eyes lightly closed, breathing evenly, but he has fallen asleep.
He carefully placed the water basin next to the couch where the black lacquer and gold openwork scroll-leaf pattern incense table was. Looking at the girl with a calm face, he hesitated for a while, and as a precaution, he reached out and tapped her sleeping hole. He took out the ice cubes originally prepared for making frozen cheese and other food from the basin, pulled the quilt slightly open, pulled out Sheng Weiqiao's injured lotus feet, applied it on it, and gently massaged it to make the blood stasis disperse quickly.
After a while, he removed the ice cube and saw that the originally bruised area had turned a lot rosy, so Sheng Sleeping Crane put some snacks on it.
Although it was dark at that time, it was already late.
Sheng Suihe went out to pour Dong Dong's ice water, and when Huan Zu came back, things were not over yet - the good girl didn't sleep well, he couldn't let her continue sleeping there!
Otherwise, his bed would be occupied and there would be no place to place it. After dawn, the maid who stayed overnight could not find his lady outside, and she would also find the rugs and holes in the floor that were lifting up. What kind of trouble would it cause!
"I heard from my grandfather that Ningwei Marquis Xu Zijing begged his wife to wash her feet every morning. I soon felt that Xu Zijing was in a miserable situation." Sheng Suihe picked up Sheng Weiqiao with the quilt, not only to prevent her from catching cold , or maybe it was because he really didn’t dare to hold the girl in T-shirt like that, and he was thinking in confusion, "Who would have expected that he would turn around and pinch the ankle of the little ancestor..."
He jumped back to the third floor from the hole where Sheng Weiqiao fell in a daze, put the girl back on her sleeping bed, tucked the quilt in, put the mechanism back in place, smoothed the clothes, and put the tea bowl back to its place. , Fang opened the window and climbed back through the window.
The rain was very heavy in the east at that time, but it had become much lighter, and the darkness that was originally as dense as substance seemed to have faded a lot.
Sheng Suihe stayed there all morning, but still didn't feel sleepy. He opened a tea bowl from the table and poured some lukewarm tea from the tin to drink. He thought to himself, "I'll be fine tomorrow night." Injured and tired, he went with her for most of the morning. The road to Chang'an is long, and the little ancestor came to the east and wondered what things would happen to trouble him? "
He thought that Qiao was torturing him, but he was not bored in his heart, but instead felt a sense of expectation and joy.
Even looking at the rain stains on the moon-red plain robe when he climbed out the window to return to his room, they were like spring flowers blooming slowly, blooming so brilliantly, as if they had bloomed all the way into his heart.
In the gurgling rain of the winter moon, there is an indescribable brightness of spring.
The corners of his lips curved again and again, and he drank a cup of warm tea for a long time. It had finally cooled down, but he still drank it in one sip without paying attention. He put the tea bowl away, but did not enter the outer room to place it, but turned around and walked into the screen. Later, Sheng Weiqiao wanted to take a peek just now.
... Early the next month, Lu Qi went outside and woke up Sheng Weiqiao: "Miss, it's time to get up!"
When she was in the Sheng Mansion, if Sheng Weiqiao asked to sleep in, Sheng Lanci and his wife would indulge her, so the maid would naturally not disobey her too much.
But now in the boat, not to mention other people, just Sheng Weiwu, who would open her eyes and ask for her sister, but Sheng Weiqiao couldn't sleep until the moon was three o'clock and didn't get up.
"Ah!" When Sheng Weiqiao just opened his eyes, he didn't remember the tragic experience last night. He crawled up in a daze, rubbing his eyes and swaying his silk shoes randomly.
It turned out that the position of the silk shoes was not found, but when Fang stepped on it, he felt the fluid soreness in his left ankle suddenly rise. He suddenly got excited, opened his eyes and said, "Lu Qi, I'm going to get a basin of hot water quickly." , twist a hot handkerchief and apply it on him!"
Hearing this, Lu Qi also discovered the injury on her ankle. She couldn't help but change her expression. She quickly walked outside and called a maid to get ready. Then she came back and asked her: "Miss, you were very well behaved before going to bed yesterday. Why?" Come here all morning and end up like that?"
"... I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night. I was walking around the house when I accidentally tripped over the incense table and smashed it." Sheng Weiqiao glanced at the black lacquer incense table with mother-of-pearl branches and flowers patterned on it next to the couch with bitter hatred, "First of all Go and twist the handkerchief, and after he has washed himself, I will call the doctor to come and take a look at him!"
Although Sheng Suihe said it was fine last night, he still had to get confirmation from the doctor before he could feel completely at ease.
Lu Qi noticed her gaze and wondered if she had been hit by the black lacquer inlaid with mother-of-pearls, branches and flowers. She was surprised and distressed, and couldn't help but said angrily: "Miss was hit at that time, why didn't you wake me up immediately?" How about a doctor? You have endured it till now - if the master and madam at home knew about it, how heartbroken would it be?"
"I called the doctor in the middle of the night because I was afraid that Dongdongduqiu would be disturbed." Sheng Weiqiao said a little guilty, "He didn't look like he had broken a bone, so he just fell asleep."
At that time, Lu Jin took several maids from Jin Li, brought basins, handkerchiefs and other things, and came in to ask Sheng Weiqiao to wash herself. Seeing that the atmosphere was good, she naturally asked. After asking about the situation, Lu Jin Shaoqi complained to her companion: "Miss I couldn't sleep in the morning and walked around the house, but I didn't notice anything? How could I stay with him all night?"
"Okay, the floor is covered with such thick mats, and the rain was so loud last night. Lu Qi must have been sleeping outside, so it's not surprising that she couldn't hear it." Please take it seriously and say that she was tripped while walking around the house. On the contrary, she injured her ankle, and Lu Qi didn't notice it at all. She would be scolded, which was fine, but whether it was her own injury that caused her own death, it would be difficult for the maid who stayed with her to take the blame.
Of course, Sheng Weiqiao couldn't tell the truth, so he quickly changed the subject and said, "Hurry up and help him wash up. I beg the doctor to come over later!"
Seeing this, Lu Jin didn't know what to say, so he knelt down and helped her change clothes and freshen up. Then he quietly raised his eyes to Hong Luqi: "I'm so confused, what are you doing?" ! Why don't you go and ask the doctor in person quickly so that you can atone for your sins? !
Fortunately, after a while, the doctor came over and took a closer look at the injury. He came to the same conclusion as Sheng Suihe said last night: "Miss Jiren has her own destiny, so it's just a flesh wound. It looks scary. In fact, apply it with a hot towel." It will be better in a few months. Of course, it is best for Miss to lie down and recuperate during those two months, otherwise her feet will be stressed."
Although the high-rise ship was spacious, it was only that big. During those days of travel, the doctor was invited to the third floor for the first time, so when he left, the whole ship knew that he was there.
Except for Sheng Suihe and the two subordinates who witnessed Sheng Weiqiao falling to the second-floor cabin, everyone else was surprised when they heard the news, including Ao Luanjing, who all came to ask: "Why did you suddenly call a doctor? Is there anything wrong with you?" ?”
Xu Baomo and Ao Luanxiao especially wondered whether she was so angry or frightened by yesterday's experience that she became depressed and fell ill all morning.
At this time, Sheng Weiqiao could stare at the innocent black lacquered picture inlaid with mother-of-pearls, branches and flowers, and look at it again and again, and repeated what Luqi had said.
"I see, Shimei, please be more careful in the future. Even if you are in your own room, you should be careful!" Xu Baozui said that, but in his heart he still felt that he was the same as Zhao Taozhuang and Meng Guihuan. It depends on the person - they have been out at sea for a few months. Sheng Weiqiao didn't say before that he couldn't sleep in the middle of the night and walked around the house, tripping over the incense stick and hurting himself. Why did he wander around the room like that last night?
It’s hard to say that I suffered a loss on the shore but couldn’t regain my position for a while. I was even worried that others would continue to plot, which made it difficult to calm down, otherwise it would be difficult to fall asleep in the early morning!
Although he didn't want to marry Sheng Weiqiao at all, after all, he had gotten along well with her during the confinement period when she stayed in the Sheng Mansion the year before last, but he didn't want to see that sister being wronged.
At that time, the ship was in the sea, far away from Chang'an. He couldn't do anything for the time being, so Zhuiqi believed it and said comforting words, "Fortunately, the injury is not serious. The doctor prescribed medicine to remove blood stasis and reduce swelling. It will be fine in two months. Shimei must be careful not to try to force Dongdi in those two months, lest she will not recover well and suffer from chronic illness in Luodong!"
But he secretly remembered Dong's incident in his heart, and decided to return to his parents in Chang'an and seek some justice for that sister by using the powerful position of Ningwei Houfu!
Sheng Weiqiao didn't know what he was planning, because she had been struggling for a long time last night and didn't sleep well, and because of the group of people's inquiries, it reminded her more and more of the tragic experiences last night - whether it was true, the more she thought about it, the sadder she became - so she said a few perfunctory words, and then He said he was tired and wanted to settle down.
Seeing this, everyone naturally left one after another. Sheng Weiqiao left Gongsun Yingjiang alone to have a conversation, and told her to take good care of Sheng Weiwu on his behalf for the next two days: "The eighth sister has a lively temperament and is always running around. I'll keep an eye on her and don't call her evil." Be careful of falling into the sea!"
After that, I sat alone in the room doing nothing for a while, took the medicine prescribed by the doctor, and fell asleep again.
When she woke up, it was already time to turn on the lamp. Lu Jin helped her wash up and gargle. After cleaning up, he went to the wood carving of chicken wings outside to sit on the round marble table inlaid with peonies. He poured a cup of warm rose water for her, while He asked people to go to the kitchen to get food, and said: "Miss, there is something missing in our room, have you seen it? Last night, did you place the wood veneer, gold inlaid bird pattern jade palace lantern that was used to burn the night light? Gone!"
When she said that, Sheng Weiqiao suddenly remembered and said, "It's other people's business. Otherwise, he couldn't sleep last night and raised it to the window to watch the rain. It turned out that he accidentally fell into something!"
Although the palace lantern was actually picked up by Sheng Suihe and brought back to his room, the brothers and sisters of their age met each other in the middle of the night, so it was not good news to spread the word, so Sheng Weiqiao didn't say anything. I secretly thought that I would have to look for an opportunity to remind Dongsheng Sleeping Crane and throw the palace lantern into the sea, so as not to be seen and suspected.
Lu Jin actually guessed that she had probably lost it. The palace lantern in Bu Nao was worth a lot of money. If not, the master Sheng Weiqiao had done a good job. He had thrown the palace lantern into the sea on purpose. Sheng Lanci and his wife must have known about it. They won't care, anyway, they will be happy if their precious daughter is happy; but if she is ruined in the Didongren's lap, Lu Jin, as Sheng Weiqiao's confidant, can set some rules for the clumsy Dongren. .
Hearing this, I went to ask her if she would hurt herself when she lost the palace lantern: "Miss, when you get up in the middle of the night, no matter what you want to do, if the person who is accompanying you at night is too stupid and doesn't notice it, you can call out so that no one will serve you. Don’t accidentally hurt yourself!”
Sheng Weiqiao nodded awkwardly, but what he was thinking about was the situation last night. Even if there was a maid with him, seeing him fall like that... Forget it, the maid didn't know what was best!
That morning, because of her foot injury, Lu Jin and Lu Qi planned to sleep on the footrest to keep her company for the night, but Sheng Weiqiao was worried about it and quickly told Sheng Suihe to deal with the palace lantern. Naturally, they refused and blamed the two. Yue is used to sleeping, and she can't sleep if someone's feet are on her, so she drives them outside in a hurry.
No matter what, the two loyal maids were afraid that she would have any needs in the middle of the night, so they basically didn't sleep for the first half of the night. Sheng Weiqiao quietly got up and jumped up on one foot. They immediately heard the noise and ran in to ask what they wanted. of service
This made Sheng Weiqiao miserable. She finally stayed up until the middle of the night. The three of them were very sleepy. She was worried that she would be noticed by the maid again. After quietly sneaking into the east bed again, he simply gritted his teeth and knelt on the ground. He moved his knees little by little to the position he had last night, raised the lid, and carefully turned on the switch.
Lying down at the entrance of the cave, she was about to call someone, but when she saw the bottom, Dongyi came into the wooden barrel as high as her shoulders. The steam was rising. Sheng Sleeping Crane had her black hair loose, and her arms were casually resting on the edge of the barrel. Because of the water vapor, The situation outside the barrel was so dense that it was not clear, but his face leaning against the wall of the barrel happened to be exactly where Sheng Weiqiao was at the entrance of the cave at the moment. He saw that the man's handsome face was slightly red, his sword-shaped eyebrows were raised, and his starry eyes were slightly closed, as if they were closing. His eyes were calm, his nose was straight, his lips were as bright as blood, and he pursed his lips tightly to reveal a touch of perseverance and coldness.
Further east, the slender neck, clavicle, and well-defined chest were blurred due to the water vapor - even if it was like this, Sheng Weiqiao was stunned to see it, and his mind was filled with emptiness and redness!
She must have been really unlucky in those two days. Just when she finally woke up and wanted to retract her head, Sheng Sleeping Crane in Didong suddenly opened her eyes as if she had woken up, and her sharp gaze was like a real sword piercing her. Come, Sheng Weiqiao's heart trembles, and she freezes there, dumbfounded!
