Chapter 70: Xiao Bupleurum Soup

Views:

Yu Jinnian finally realized that something was wrong, hurriedly put the hangover soup on the table, climbed onto the bed and watched Ji Hong closely, he saw that his eyes were closed, his breathing was short, his brows were frowning unconsciously, his lips were red but not moist , like dried rouge paper.

He patted Ji Hong's shoulder lightly, and called softly: "Ah Hong, Ah Hong?"

Ji Hong frowned for a while, then slowly opened his eyes after a while, in a drowsy state, seeing a clear and beautiful young face in front of him, he gave a "hmm" as if nothing, and stretched out his hand to caress It lay on the back of the boy's hand, and then he closed his eyes as if he was extremely sleepy.

"Where is it uncomfortable?" Yu Jinnian held him behind his back with one hand, and reached into the collar of his other hand to touch Ji Hong's body. Chu felt that his hand was burning, but it was not too high when he tried again, as if there was a small furnace in his body. Slowly steamed and roasted, the skin was flushed with a thin layer of flush, he pulled the man's collar neatly, "Ah Hong, get up and drink two sips of water before going to bed."

Ji Hong was very tired at the moment, even though his mouth was dry, he was unwilling to get up and move, so he closed his eyes and shook his head.

"You are sick, you have to listen to the doctor." Yu Jinnian did not allow him to argue, and quickly went to the kitchen to pour a bowl of warm water and mix it with two spoons of honey. The honey is acacia flower honey, which is refreshing and sweet. It is the top grade of honey for moisturizing dryness and clearing away heat. It was also able to protect the stomach, so he returned to the room with the honey water, helped Ji Hong up and leaned against him, and then fed him water spoonful by spoonful.

Seeing that Ji Hong just dipped his mouth on the edge of the spoon, as if he disliked it being too sweet, Yu Jinnian coaxed him, "It's Sophora japonica honey water, drink more."

Ji Hong persisted for a while, then opened his mouth reluctantly, and drank half a bowl slowly in two gulps.

After drinking, he was not in a hurry to lie down, so he leaned against the boy's arms, leaning his face on Yu Jinnian's chest, and smelled a faint scent of rice porridge. In the past, he liked the warm and peaceful smell of the boy most, but today But he felt a little greasy, and his stomach was very uncomfortable, but he was still attached to the temperature of the young man, even if the retching feeling in his throat became stronger, he would not let go.

Yu Jinnian put his arms around him and looked down. This man had always had an outstanding appearance. Today he was ill, his face had some pretty red color, and even his eyelids were steamed into a light pink color. The color was so rich that he couldn't help but think of A word that is absolutely incompatible with Ji Hong - "Yan", it is really more beautiful than flowers. But because of this, Yu Jinnian felt even more guilty.

If I had known this, I wouldn't have taken him to drink so much yesterday.

Pi Zhenchun is strong wine, it is easy to get intoxicated, but he also dug out the jar of rouge with added ingredients to get drunk - who are the people who are drunk with rouge? The swinger has been having fun for a long time, and getting drunk with rouge is nothing.

It's just that Yu Jinnian completely forgot that the kidney-strengthening and yang-strengthening herbs in the wine were like a handful of dry firewood added to the bottom of the cauldron to Ji Hong at this time. Blessing, what's more, the two of them proclaimed prostitution during the day, and proclaimed it several times at night, and they couldn't complain about this night. The combination of various reasons directly boiled him.

Thinking of yesterday's mess, Yu Jinnian couldn't help feeling hot. It wasn't the first time he touched someone else's things in the years of medical practice, but just because it was Ji Hong this time, he felt a little shy for no reason. To this day, the palm of his hand You feel hot. He looked at Ji Hong's blushing cheeks, stretched out his hand to brush the broken hair scattered in front of his face, and asked in a low voice, "Is it uncomfortable?"

Ji Hong felt that his eyelids were so hot that he couldn't open them, and he didn't want to worry him, so he shook his head again, and then pressed the young man's palm down on the side of his head.

Feeling the man's hot and dry breath spraying on his palm, Yu Jinnian couldn't help shivering from the heat of his limbs, but he didn't have the heart to pull his palm out from under his face, he just looked for something to say: "Maybe get up and eat something?"

Ji Hong said: "I don't want to eat."

"Then go to sleep, sleep and wake up before eating." Yu Jinnian touched his forehead and added, "I'll be with you."

At first, Ji Hong just leaned on Yu Jinnian to take a nap. After all, he was not too light. He was afraid that he would numb the boy's hands and feet if he kept lying on his pillow. Later, when he got a fever, he felt dizzy and nauseated, so he couldn't care about these things. Soon fell into a vast black dream.

Yu Jinnian had already taken care of the store's affairs earlier, and at this time Qing Huan was watching outside, so he didn't worry about business matters, so he settled down and stayed with Ji Hong in the room, watching him get cold and hot, and giving him a little something. Clothes and quilts, spent more than half an hour in the room, and Ji Hong was fast asleep. He thought that it was not the case to make people burn dry, so he carefully put the man on the bed, and put the man on the bed after feeling his pulse. Tuck in the quilt and tiptoe out.

As soon as he took him to the door, he ran into Qing Huan who came to look for him.

"Brother Nian, you're here." Qing Huan looked at their room suspiciously, "Why, Mr. Ji hasn't woken up yet?"

Yu Jinnian was embarrassed to say why Ji Hong was ill, and he only said vaguely, "I ate too much wine yesterday and burned it up, let him sleep for a while." He remembered and asked Qing Huan, "What do you want from me?"

Qing Huan hurriedly said: "Oh, a man came just now and said that he wanted to work with us. That man is very strong, and I looked good, so I told him to wait in front and asked our boss to come out and have a look." She said He bowed his head and smiled, and repeated, "It's really good, and the person is Zhou Zheng..."

Yu Jinnian nodded, and followed Qing Huan to the front hall, and sure enough, he saw a man waiting in front of the cabinet, with a broad and tough face, with a thick old bamboo hat on his shoulders, all in black, standing upright, tall, with a tight fit With high hair, it looks like a big white poplar towering into the sky from a distance.

Like a chivalrous man, with a dignified appearance, not like a buddy.

Seeing this character, Yu Jinnian looked back at Qing Huan who was standing behind him, and laughed for a moment: "It seems that our sister Qing Huan has her own motives too!"

"Brother Nian, what are you talking about!" Qing Huan hit him on the back angrily, glanced at the man secretly, and muttered, "I'm not wrong, it's Zhou Zheng's..."

Yu Jinnian smiled and shook his head, walked over, he saw that this person looked familiar, but couldn't remember where he had seen him before, so he had to put it down for the time being, took out a pen and ink from the cabinet, and wrote down the taste Medicinal materials - Bupleurum, Pinellia and Codonopsis, together with Scutellaria baicalensis and roasted licorice, it is Xiaochaihu Decoction. Xiao Chaihu Decoction is a wonderful prescription for Shaoyang. It reconciles Shaoyang, strengthens the body and eliminates evils, and treats cold and heat, chest and side pain, no appetite, upset and vomiting. Yes, Xiao Chaihu Decoction also has the good effect of relieving alcohol and soothing the liver, whether it is before or after drinking, it has magical effects.

He deliberated for a while before handing the prescription to Qing Huan: "My sister Qing Huan, go and grab these medicines, be careful, they are for Ah Hong."

The Ruo Li man suddenly moved, with a look of anxiety on his face.

Qing Huan took a few glances at the man, and then went with the prescription. When he left, he rubbed his sleeves against the man nonchalantly. After Qing Huan left, Yu Jinnian waved to the man, telling him to go with him to the backyard.

When he arrived at the well in the backyard, Yu Jinnian took out a piece of lean meat, scooped clear water from the well to wash it, and took a handful each of Ophiopogon japonicus, Lily, and dried lotus seeds, put them in a bowl to soak, and prepared to stew a dish of Ning Give Ji Hong the heart-warming Lily Ophiopogon Soup.

He squatted here to wash the meat, raised his head in between, and scrutinized the man, from his clothes to his clothes, from his face to his standing posture, and his half-exposed muscular forearms—this look did not seem to be recruiting a buddy. , more like choosing a son-in-law, very picky.

To be honest, since Qing Huan likes it, and this person seems to have a lot of strength, he should keep him no matter what. However, looking at this person's demeanor, he doesn't look like a poor person. Yu Jinnian doesn't feel that this person has any need to work, but more like he came for some purpose, and just doing the work of washing meat, the person looked at his room After a few glances, no matter how you look at it, you are a thief who came to step on the spot with malicious intentions.

The man also seemed to be very uncomfortable, keeping a subtle distance from him all the time, and looked at him fiercely with a strange look, but when he turned his head to look, the man seemed to be hiding from the flames Swish to avoid it, and his eyes dodged, hesitant to speak.

Yu Jinnian took the piece of meat to the kitchen to disassemble it, and then picked up the knife to cut the meat. He couldn't help it, and asked angrily, "What are you here for?"

The man spread his feet suddenly, as if he was about to make a move.

Yu Jinnian was about to pick up the knife, when he saw the man clattering his sleeves, he suddenly knelt down on the ground, half-kneeled, lowered his head, and said loudly, "My subordinate Duan Ming, I have seen the young master."

He was so startled that he almost dropped the kitchen knife in his hand, and when he came back to his senses, Duan Ming had already taken half a step forward on his knees, caught the kitchen knife that had slipped out of his hand, and held it up firmly. in front of.

"You..." Yu Jinnian was taken aback, "Who are you?"

Holding the saber in his hand, Duan Ming said: "This subordinate is the world... the son's guard."

He paused strangely, and Yu Jinnian looked at him in confusion: "My lord... Ah Hong?"

Hearing this address, Duan Ming twitched his brows, and hurriedly said, "Exactly."

Yu Jinnian stared at his figure for a long while, then suddenly remembered from the hat that he was familiar with where he had seen him before, but it was not the same person who quietly followed out yesterday when the boat dealer was in trouble, the cause and effect were connected , it suddenly became clear - could it be that Ji Hong already knew that Duan Ming would come at that time

"What did you do to that guest?" He asked curiously.

As soon as the words fell, Qing Huan rushed back from outside, carrying a few packs of medicine, before she reached the backyard, she heard a voice coming from the front hall, "It's true that evil comes with evil! Brother Nian, yesterday's spitting mouth Dirty, eyeless thing, where do you think he is now?"

Yu Jinnian glanced at Duan Ming, motioned him to get up quickly, and then went out to meet Qing Huan, and asked with a smile, "Where are you?"

Qing Huan raised her eyebrows happily and said: "Isn't it just seeing a doctor in the pharmacy! I don't know where the green forest hero, the gods came down to earth, and knocked off his jaw. Now he is in the pharmacy with blue eyes and swollen nose. Lay down! Your face is swollen like a pig's head! Hmph, it's so satisfying!"

Yu Jinqing coughed twice, the green forest hero is standing in front of her now!

Qing Huan glanced back over Yu Jinnian's shoulder, and when she saw that person, she immediately transformed from a pungent lady into a weak little girl, with her hands twisted in front of her body, she asked Yu Jinnian secretly: "Brother Nian, are you okay?" What the hell?"

Yu Jinnian pretended to be stupid: "Will it work?"

"Just..." Qing Huan stomped her feet anxiously, and couldn't say anything else in front of the man, "It's just him, can he stay and work?"

Yu Jinnian laughed at him and said, "You don't even know what people's names are."

"I know now!" Qing Huan pursed her lips, and ran to Duan Ming with small steps, leaned closer to look at him, blinked her eyes, and asked him deliberately, "Hey, how about you?" … what's your name?"

She thinks that she is not close, and there is still a distance of two fists in the middle. After all, she was fine when she was closer to people in Yicui Pavilion, but Duan Ming obviously didn't think so. Qing Huan's face turned red, and her head almost fell to the ground. After a while, she remembered to take a step back, and said in a low voice, "I belong to Duan Ming."

Seeing this situation, Qing Huan covered her mouth and giggled, curled her hair with her fingers delicately, and said to him, "My name is Qing Huan."

Duan Ming stared at the ground and said blankly, "...Hi, Miss Qinghuan."

Qing Huan gently tugged on Duan Ming's sleeve with a smile, Duan Ming was so startled that he quickly stretched out his hand and pulled back his sleeve, sawing Qing Huan with each other, Qing Huan suddenly let go, and Duan Ming was so scared that he held his hand together. Stepping back a few steps, she turned her head to Yu Jinnian in the kitchen and said angrily, "Look, Brother Nian, it looks like wood."

Yu Jinnian was frying the medicine he caught in a medicine pot, and then put the cut lean meat, soaked lily, lotus seeds, and radix radix into a clean small earthen pot, added water and a little salt Come to cook and stew, then teased Qing Huan and said: "Wood is good, wood is honest!"

He didn't say whether this person will stay or not, but he just thinks that since this person belongs to Ji Hong, he should wait until Ji Hong wakes up.

Seeing that he didn't object, Qing Huan took it as a tacit consent, and immediately led Duan Ming to work happily. She was softly talking about some precautions, and suddenly she was about to pick off the straw hat behind Duan Ming's back. : "What are you doing with it on your back?"

"Miss Qing Huan!" Duan Ming dodged in shock, blushing and stammering, "I, I will do it myself... I will do it myself..."

Qing looked at him with a smile, and after a while took out a piece of fruit from the cabinet and stuffed it into his hand: "You eat this, brother Nian made it himself."

Yu Jinnian was busy cooking in the back, and couldn't control how the two of them flirted and scolded in the front. He just sighed bitterly in his heart that it was indeed a female college student who didn't want to stay, but he didn't expect Duan Ming to be so tough and honest Chu'er, I don't know how much meat will be "eaten" when he meets Qing Huan's sister who was born in Goulan Courtyard

After decocting the medicine, cool it with well water, and then bring it in to Ji Hong with a bowl of honey water.

At this time, Ji Hong just woke up. He regained some strength after sleeping, opened his eyes and looked at Yu Jinnian, then slowly sat up on his own, and took the medicine bowl Yu Jinnian handed him.

He asked, "Are you still sleepy?"

Ji Hong shook his head: "I slept too much, I'm a little tired."

Yu Jinnian took off his shoes, leaned on the bed with him, his feet touched his feet and said: "I'm really sorry, I didn't expect you to be so old that you didn't go through anything. You were not in good health, and I took you to drink meat wine when you came up." … Next time it won’t be like this, the body is more important.”

Ji Hong drank the medicinal soup in one gulp, passed the young man and put the empty bowl on the small counter next to the bed. When he turned around, he paused in front of Yu Jinnian, stared at the young man carefully, and asked, "Then this is a matter of course. Did you?" His palm slipped down, took Yu Jinnian's fingers, and rubbed them carefully in his hand, as if reminiscing about the chaotic scene yesterday, "Through your business... Jinnian, you made me very comfortable."

Yu Jinnian understood what his "Nong" meant. He still remembered the "Nong" he asked yesterday. This question was already very ambiguous, and when Ji Hong said it, it became even more blushing. Yu Jinnian's face suddenly turned pale. Flushing, she subconsciously pushed him away: "You have to mention it again..."

Ji Hong smiled, and let himself be pushed back onto the pillow, but his hands refused to let go, still clenched stickily, and he said, "Never before."

Yu Jinnian was stunned for a while before realizing what he was talking about. He faltered and asked: "So big... I don't have one myself?"

Ji Hong smiled and shook his head: "I don't have such an idea. It is enough to have a pen and ink all day long. Later, I became ambitious and began to worry about outside things, but I didn't go out. I only met people in the room and wrote. Believe me, sleep when you are tired, I have no time and no one has such thoughts.” He turned his head to look at Yu Jinnian, he didn’t dare to kiss the young man’s lips directly for fear of making him sick, so he couldn’t help but move closer Kissing the boy's temples, he said with emotion, "... but now I have it."

"Stop talking..." Yu Jinnian covered his face with a smile, "Show face, in broad daylight, no one would say such things in front of others. Don't you like to read books? There are some small books in the market. It's also very beautiful...”

He said it a little cryptically, meaning that asking Ji Hong to buy it secretly and watch it secretly is also one of the ways to relieve it.

Who would have thought that Ji Hong would take off his hands covering his face and rub them together together: "Then next time you buy a few copies of the little book you mentioned. I heard that they are all stories about men and women, which are very interesting. I didn't either. Have you seen it, shall we watch it together?"

Yu Jinnian saw his serious face, and remembered that when he was asked to tell bedtime stories, he couldn't even tell a lady scholar, and suddenly felt that Ji Hong might not know what kind of little book he was talking about, maybe he thought It's the kind of love story like Miss Scholar, with at most some pretentious words.

Forget it, don't mention it.

He suddenly remembered the newcomer Duan Minglai, quickly changed the subject, and said to Ji Hong: "Ah Hong, a man who claimed to be your bodyguard came to look for him today, and he insisted on staying to do odd jobs in the shop. I don't know what to do. I'll wait until you wake up so I can ask you."

After hearing this, Ji Hong frowned slightly: "My guard?"

He doesn't have any guards, one is that he lives alone in the mansion all the year round, and he doesn't need any guards, and the other is that his father didn't allocate any manpower for him, he only has a few confidants who can do paperwork and give advice, as for force, they are just some An unremarkable literati.

"Yeah." Yu Jinnian nodded, "It's Duan Ming."

Ji Hong's eyes widened suddenly, and he couldn't help but tighten Yu Jinnian's hand: "Duan Ming? Is it really Duan Ming?"

Yu Jinnian couldn't help wondering, he didn't know that the person yesterday was Duan Ming
