Wuwang reminds book friends to rest their eyes

To be entrusted by others is to be loyal.

After Shu Huan came out of the back room, she went to the study to look for pens, inks, papers and inkstones. She thought clearly that Gu Xiran asked her to find a proper maid to fetch medicine, but she was new here, and her knowledge of the maids in this courtyard was only superficial. , I don’t know who is right at all, and besides, the ancient sect was very strict, it’s probably not easy for a maid to get out of the second sect, and I have to bother the boys outside to run errands, the prescription can’t be explained clearly after several hands , it's better to do it yourself first.

There is no good way, that is to copy the name and dosage of the medicine in the prescription on another piece of paper, and then turn out a medical book from the bookshelf, pick out six or seven common medicine names and add them, and wait for the ink to dry. , just cut the paper, and blindly put the name of the medicine on a small piece of paper, so as to confuse the prescription, no matter how careful others are, they will not be able to see why.

It's quite complicated to say, but it's pretty quick to do. After all, she used to write in small letters for a while, and her handwriting is not very individual, but it can be done neatly and clearly. It's just that she hasn't written with a brush for a long time. The name of the medicine made me feel my wrist a little sore.

After finishing all this, she called Liang Chen to grab the medicine with the stack of papers with the name of the medicine written on it, and especially told her: "Ask the pharmacist to wrap the medicine ingredients separately, and write the name of the medicine on the outside."

Liang Chen felt strange, but he knew what the master ordered and he would do it, and he would not ask, so he agreed and went.

Grabbing the medicine is easy, but decocting it is troublesome. Shu Huan didn't understand this, and when Liang Chen came back, she called Huiyun for help. Anyway, Huiyun couldn't read. Together, Huiyun will start frying, and she will watch the fire from the side.

I have something to do, but I don't think it's hard to pass the time. It's quite leisurely to chat with Huiyun while frying the medicine, but halfway through the medicine, Aunt Yun rushed to the small tea room, saw her and said: "Second Mistress, you can just call me for decocting medicine, how can you do it yourself?"

Shu Huan shook his head and said, "No need, you can go and do other things."

Aunt Yun saw that she was unwilling to let her go, but she didn't insist very much. She stood with her for a while, and then retreated with a sad expression.

After Shu Huan decocted the medicine, filtered out the medicine residue and sent it to Gu Xiran, he lifted the curtain and entered the main room, and heard faint and intermittent crying sounds from inside, which sounded like Aunt Yun, and then turned his head to look around him , there was no one there quietly, presumably all the maids were sent out, I felt a little embarrassed

.

Just when I was about to walk away, I heard Aunt Yun's choked voice: "Since I entered the door of Gu's house, I only hope in my heart that I can serve the second master for a long time, and there is nothing else besides that. Thinking about it... But now the second master doesn't want to see me, I feel wronged, and I don't know what I did wrong... If there is any, please tell the second master clearly so that I can change it, if not, I only hope that the second master will return Treat me like you used to..."

Her words were quickly interrupted by Gu Xiran's cold voice: "It's nothing at all, don't think about it."

Yun Yanniang cried: "It's not that I think too much, it's that the second master no longer has me in his heart..."

This, this, this!

It's bad behavior to eavesdrop on someone's conversation, let alone something personal.

Hearing this, Shu Huan couldn't stand anymore, and hurriedly backed out with the medicine bowl in hand. Seeing Liangchen and Meijing playing in the yard to catch stones, he beckoned for Meijing to come over, and put the medicine bowl into her hands , whispered: "Wait for Aunt Yun to come out before sending the medicine in. If it's cold, warm it up before sending it in."

Jingmei agreed and took the medicine bowl.

Shu Huan originally wanted to find a place to stay for a while, but when she turned her head to look, there was only such a big yard. The east wing kept a group of weird and scary pets. She didn't want to go in, and the west wing was Aunt Yun's residence, so it was not easy for her to go in. , Only then did I realize that I had nowhere to go! I had no choice but to walk outside the gate, wanting to take a walk in the nearby garden.

Liang Chen followed up: "Where does Second Mistress want to go? I will accompany you."

Shu Huan refused: "No need, I will walk alone and come back."

It was almost twilight.

Walking out of the gate, there are gravel mosaic roads extending in all directions. She didn't know where to go, so she just picked a road at random. After walking for a while, she saw a gazebo standing by the water, and climbed up the stone steps. Sit in the pavilion.

The scenery outside the pavilion is very good, looking out is a piece of lush green. The nearby water surface is like a small lake dug out by man. The water is very clear and flowing slowly. It should be running water. There are a few lotus flowers growing in it. The fragrance is all sent by the wind.

Seeing this scene, Shu Huan felt a little itchy. He wanted to sketch two landscapes, but it was too troublesome to go back and find suitable paper and charcoal sticks. Let's just look at it like this

. But after sitting for a while, she couldn't stand it any longer, there were many mosquitoes by the water, and it was summer again, she bit her exposed hand several times with red bumps, she reckoned that Aunt Yun and Gu Xiran should finish talking, Just ready to go back.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she turned around, she suddenly saw a young man in white standing at the end of the road, looking at her.

This is the inner house of the Gu family, and it is impossible for someone else to come in. Shu Huan thought that since Gu Xihe was ranked fourth, there must be an older brother above him, and maybe it was this person, so he walked along the road in a leisurely manner. go back.

The boy didn't move, just watched her approaching like this.

When the two were close enough, Shu Huan was able to see his appearance clearly. He was about the same age as Gu Xiran, and his eyebrows and eyes were not the same, but the outline of his face was still vaguely similar, so he tried to say hello: "Mr. ?”

The boy in white bowed slightly: "Second sister-in-law."

The attitude is neither respectful nor negligent.

It seems that he guessed right, Shu Huan smiled at him, but he didn't know what to say, and felt that the young man was very cold, like the color of his clothes, so he paused and rubbed shoulders with him And pass.

When she returned to Shengmei Pavilion, she didn't see Aunt Yun, but Xiangqian and two maids were preparing dinner.

Gu Xiran was already sitting at the table, when he saw her, he frowned slightly: "Where did you go?"

Shu Huan didn't answer, just asked him: "Did you drink the medicine?"

Gu Xiran nodded, staring at the food on the table with obviously depressed eyes: "I'm full, my mouth is full of bitter taste, I don't have appetite to eat anymore."

On the other hand, Shu Huan, who hadn't seen meat for many days, suddenly saw a bowl of stewed chicken with chestnuts on the table, immediately moved his index finger, and couldn't even think about talking, and sat down to eat with chopsticks.

Gu Xiran was a little dissatisfied: "I said I have no appetite, but you still eat so happily?"

Shu Huan didn't raise his head, and said in a vague way: "I have an appetite!"

As she said that, she took another large piece of chicken and gnawed on it, completely ignoring the taste.

Anyway, the original owner of this body is a poor girl, not a wealthy daughter, it's normal to be rude, she doesn't need to dress up

.

Unexpectedly, when Gu Xiran saw her eating deliciously, he immediately stretched out his chopsticks to grab it jealously. When Shu Huan finished eating a piece of chicken, he went to pick it up again, but found that there were only chestnuts and a piece of chicken butt left in the bowl. He looked at Gu Xiran again in a blink of an eye. In the bowl, seeing that there was not much rice and the chicken was piled full, he immediately became depressed, and muttered in a low voice: "Damn! You have to grab this from me!"

Gu Xiran looked up at her: "What did you say?"

Shu Huan blurted out a swear word, and Shu Huan quickly lied and perfunctory: "Didn't I say you have no appetite? Why are you still robbing me?"

"Suddenly I have an appetite."

Seeing Shu Huan's speechless look, Gu Xiran couldn't help laughing, and pushed the bowl in front of her: "Would you like to share a piece with you?"

How can there be no reason not to have delicious food delivered to your door? Shu Huan immediately stretched out her chopsticks to pick them up, but when the chopsticks were stretched halfway, she suddenly retracted: "Forget it, you can eat."

Gu Xiran raised his eyebrows: "I haven't moved yet."

Shu Huan shook his head, picked up a piece of chestnut, and lowered his head to pick up the rice.

It's not too dirty!

Instead, I feel that the two are too close to grab food and eat like this!

The most important thing is that all of this happens naturally, with him, there is no restraint, and there is no defense.

Thinking of Aunt Yun's words that she had overheard before, she immediately lost her appetite, and secretly became vigilant in her heart, feeling that if she continued to get along with Gu Xiran like this, she might fall in love with each other for a long time, which would be very bad. It is the best policy for him to keep an appropriate distance.
