The devil relies on the cat

Chapter 180 The medicine must be drunk while it is hot

On the second day, because of Steward Qi's reassuring words, Bai Jiujiu didn't get up early as usual, let alone went to the market with Lu Bo.

If it were someone else, it would all be considered sick leave.But when it came to Bai Jiujiu, a series of things happened.

Because she lives alone in the same room, and her co-worker is Uncle Lu, an old man, so first, no one serves her three meals, and second, even if there is a disturbance outside, she, Bai Jiujiu, will be the last to hear about it. .

Fortunately, Huamao Banlan has been in the palace for a long time, except for a few places where she can't go, she is basically a full-fledged.

So, under the circumstances that everyone had forgotten about them, Meili, who had always been lazy, boldly left the house and went to the kitchen yard.

Bai Jiujiu thought it was looking for Butler Qi, so she didn't stop it.Unexpectedly, after more than half an hour, it unexpectedly brought over the boy named Deng An who delivered the meals last night.

The boy didn't wear the gray-blue shirt he wore yesterday, but changed into a more plain white robe.The wide sleeves, the long hem, and the hairband on the head are like fairy tales.This feeling, which is familiar, is like returning to the long-lost heaven, which makes Bai Jiujiu stare blankly.

Although Deng An felt uncomfortable being watched, he never thought of interrupting her gaze.Moreover, she was so focused that she didn't even notice an unexpected visitor appeared at the door.until……

"Hmph, Bai Jiujiu, you're so arrogant! You haven't been here for a long time, and you haven't done much work. This enjoyment is quite good!"

Bai Jiujiu and Deng An were startled by the sudden voice of Xingshi asking for guilt.Deng An hurriedly put down the tea bowl in his hand, bowed with a plop and knelt down.

As for Bai Jiujiu, afraid that he would be blamed for his lack of etiquette, she hurriedly got up too.The painful wound in her heart made her cough lightly repeatedly.

This time, Xia Jinchai's already elongated face became even darker.Ru Zhu's gaze seemed to possess immense power, just looking at Bai Jiujiu made Bai Jiujiu panic.

At this time, it should be the time for him to go back to the palace, right?Bai Jiujiu lowered her head and guessed.

However, even if he found out that he didn't go to work today, it was agreed by Butler Qi.He should have no reason to get mad, right?
"Jiujiu here...cough cough... Lord Chai please greet, Lord Chai is thousand years old...cough cough... thousand years old, thousand years old!"

Xia Jinchai looked at her coldly.Seeing that her movements were much slower than before, her voice was not as perverse as usual, and she began to cough continuously.Most of the anger in my heart disappeared immediately.There was even a strange feeling that seemed to be anxiety.

"Get up and talk!" He waved his sleeves at the two of them.

However, the anger that had just disappeared suddenly rose again when he caught a glimpse of Deng An looking at Bai Jiujiu with concern.

"Aren't you working in the accounting room? Why do you come here to serve a maid? Or did the king remember wrong?"

Deng An's heart shuddered when he was called indirectly.This prince, I only visited him once when I first entered the mansion to work many months ago, I didn't expect him to remember it just like that.

"Back to the lord, Deng An, the servant, is indeed Deng An who is in charge of helping to sort out the accounts in the accounting department." Deng An bowed slightly, although he was shocked in his heart, but his face was calm.

"Since that's the case, why did you come here to bring tea and meals to Bai Jiujiu?" Xia Jinchai said as he opened the food box that was placed aside.

Before Deng An could answer, Xia Jinchai asked again: "Isn't it you who decocted this medicine and brought it here?"

Deng An carefully chewed Xia Jinchai's words, then bowed to Xia Jinchai with a low eyebrow.Then decide to tell the truth.

"Returning to the lord, this medicine was indeed made by the slave, and it was also given by the slave. However, all this was done by the slave on behalf of the slave who works in the kitchen."

Xia Jinchai immediately raised his eyebrows slightly.How could he not know about the frail middle-aged woman in the kitchen?I've been hearing rumors from the servants that she was lucky enough to find such a filial and capable son.It turned out that this good son was the young man in front of him.

As for Bai Jiujiu, she also grew fond of him.Not only is this young man gentle and gentle, Yuan Dao is also a dutiful son.

"But I don't know who can do Mr. An's work in the accounting room?" Xia Jinchai asked calmly.

"...The slave will go back to the cashier to deal with his own affairs." After speaking, he looked at Bai Jiujiu apologetically, and then left outside the door.

But that foot only took two steps towards the door of the house, and then it turned back immediately.

As the two people in the room looked at him with puzzled eyes, he explained while taking out the things from the armhole and putting them on the table.

"This is candied fruit, which is most suitable for Miss Bai to eat after drinking the medicinal soup."

Immediately, Bai Jiujiu was moved, what a thoughtful and considerate care!If Xia Jinchai, who had been nervous for a year, wasn't there, she really wished she could jump over and thank her.

"Thank you, Mr. An!" In the end, Bai Jiujiu could only say a simple sentence.

Xia Jinchai watched with cold eyes.

But as soon as Deng An walked away, all his eyes were directed at Bai Jiujiu with the words.

"Not bad, I'm getting better and better."

No matter what strange words she heard, they got into Bai Jiujiu's timid ears, and she couldn't tell whether it was a compliment or a belittling.

"Hehe." Bai Jiujiu responded with a silly smile.

The wind, blowing in from the open door, stirred up the bitter and astringent medicinal soup smell throughout the room.She couldn't help but shift her gaze to the small ball of oiled paper package newly placed on the table.

"Why, they just gave it to you, so you can't help but want to eat it?" Xia Jinchai saw through her thoughts at a glance.

For some reason, he felt that the square oiled paper wrapping was dazzling.There is a kind of posture of flaring their teeth and claws at themselves without knowing the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth.

Bai Jiujiu narrowed her eyes, lowered her head and pouted and said, "The doctor said that the medicine must be drunk while it's hot. So..."

"Then you can drink it yourself, is it possible that this king will serve you!" Xia Jinchai looked at her pitiful look, and the anger that had been burning in her belly for a long time dissipated a lot.

When you get angry at a woman, it's not her who is angry, but yourself!It's not worth it.

Seeing Bai Jiujiu pouring the medicine clumsily, he was very curious about how she got through the past many years.Seeing Bai Jiujiu raise her head and drank the entire bowl of pitch-black soup in one gulp, she couldn't help but wonder if there was something wrong with the taste of this product.

However, when she saw her happily opening the oiled paper bag, and eating one after another with relish, Xia Jinchai seemed to understand that this bitch had completely ignored her own existence in front of eating!
