Still waiting for Zhaoyang

Chapter 21
Shang Rui was stunned, and then he understood what she was talking about, and followed her gaze to look at his hand.He was so busy these days that he didn't touch the ground, and he didn't put his mind on himself at all. That night, when Tian Yuan and He Lanxun were in Kangning Hall, Ming Lian brought hot water to clean his hands, only to find that his hands had been soaked. frozen.He hated other people's yelling the most, he scolded Ming Lian angrily, and then forgot about it.

He said with disdain: "It's a small matter, I'm not a woman."

Xia Yue Zhengrong: "This thing can be said to be small, but it can be big. If it gets to the root of the disease, it will attack every year. Seeing that you spend a lot of money and are so rich, why doesn't anyone at home take care of you carefully? You will tell your close-up in a while. Boy, go home and slice ginger into mud, then soak it in white wine and rub it on your hands, you can wrap it with a cloth, but some people don't like the smell." She said in a rambling manner.

Because her mother died young and her father did not remarry, so apart from her, there were only her father and younger brother in the family. The two men were not very concerned about their own food and clothing, so things such as asking about their health, seeing a doctor and decocting medicine, and food matching fell into the hands of others. On her own, over time she developed the habit of nagging and worrying like an old woman.

"However, your family is not short of money. Another way is to mix some egg whites and honey..."

When she said this, she stared into Shang Rui's eyes, afraid that he would wander off and miss her words and deeds, and she spoke faster than usual, and while she was talking, she used her only right hand to seriously signal how to disturb him.

Shang Rui met Xia Yue's gaze and looked at that face.She has a pair of unforgettable eyes, smart and graceful, but in terms of beauty, she is not as good as Xu Fengjiao.The Xu family's beauty is rarely matched by women in the world, and the most beautiful person he has ever seen in this world is probably his mother.At this time, Min Xiayue may have had a high fever several times due to her unhealed injuries, and her complexion is not good, but this does not hinder the vivid emotions in her eyebrows, eyes, lips and nose, sometimes angry, sometimes laughing, sometimes crying, sometimes cunning , sometimes resolute, and sometimes tempted him with those clumsy methods.

He listened quietly at first, but then suddenly laughed.

Xia Yue raised her eyebrows, "Don't think I'm busy."

After hearing this, Shang Rui felt even more amused, stretched out his hand, and said, "Show me your left hand."

Only then did she realize that she was also a patient, so she obeyed obediently.

He never shy away from the difference between men and women, so he directly took her palm.The palm injury was later re-bandaged and carefully fixed by the doctor. Shang Rui examined it carefully and asked, "Does it hurt?"

"It's okay." Xia Yue replied.

"You can move your fingers?"

Xia Yue moved her fingers.

Shang Rui put down her hand in satisfaction, and said suddenly, "I said I've seen you before."

This was the third time he mentioned this, but she really couldn't remember where the two of them intersected, so she asked curiously, "Where is it?"

"On the street of Jinluo."

Xia Yue frowned.

"You don't remember?" Shang Rui asked.

She shook her head: "When did it happen?"

"It's been more than a year, and you finally asked us to go to Cuiwei Building." Shang Rui reminded.

"you?"

"Well, I went to Jinluo with... people. I was sitting in a sedan chair at the time, and it was someone else who stopped you to ask for directions."

Xia Yue tilted her head: "I can't seem to remember."

Shang Rui glanced at her, and couldn't help but think of the playful and sly look on Xia Yue who was standing outside the sedan chair and talking back and forth with him.

In the end, he turned his gaze away, looked elsewhere, and said in a very flat tone: "Maybe I misremembered."

At this time, Tian Yuan in the distance showed his face, and Shang Rui nodded slightly at him.

"Miss Min," he asked again suddenly, "I made a bet with Brother Tian. He said that the Gao Xin Baoyu I saw must be a fake. If you carry it with you, you can lend it to me so that he can feast his eyes on it."

Xia Yue looked at Shang Rui, brushed the fine hair around her ears with her hands, and replied, "I borrowed that jade too, and now it has returned to its original owner."

Shang Rui smiled and said: "Girl, are you afraid that I will covet that thing, so use words to perfuse me."

Xia Yue hurriedly said: "No, no, if the young master has such evil intentions, how could he return the jade to me intact? It is true that he is no longer with me."

In fact, he already knew that Yu was not on her body, but for some reason he always liked to chat with her and see her embarrassed appearance.

After the Wu family left and returned, Shang Rui took the opportunity to leave and met Tian Yuan and Yao Chuang in the study.

"Your Majesty, I brought it back." Yao Chuang took out the jade cicada and presented it to Shang Rui with both hands.

"Where is she hiding?"

"In my own room."

Shang Rui took it and rubbed it with his fingers.

The jade is simple and thick, and the carving on it is simple but fine, which is different from the complicated and gorgeous styles nowadays. It only outlines a cicada with a few strokes. The whole thing is not conspicuous at first glance. You will definitely think it is a worthless thing.

Shang Rui lowered his head and played with it, then asked, "Is anyone aware?"

Yao Chuang next to him replied, "I am very careful."

Yao Chuang said again: "But I don't know why the emperor has to go through all this trouble. It would be fine if he didn't return it to that girl."

Tian Yuan coughed when he heard the words, and glanced at Yao Chuang.He originally thought that Shang Rui would either not answer Yao Chuang at all, or simply explain his foresight and foresight, but he didn't expect the other party to just throw a sentence: "I like it, can you control it?" Almost called Tian Yuan out of breath Unable to hold back, he laughed out loud.

Yao Chuang looked at Tian Yuan, then at Shang Rui, but didn't dare to continue asking.

Shang Rui was in the room, walked a few steps to the wall and opened the window, and the cold outside immediately rushed in with the wind.From this room to the small pavilion just now, there is a small hill in the middle, so he can only see the top of the pavilion.

"Stay on the wall." Shang Rui said seriously.

"The minister is here." Tian Yuan took a step forward.

"You have to keep her in your village."

"If Miss Min insists on leaving..." Tian Yuan was in trouble.

"Don't you think of an idea yourself?"

"……Yes."

During the meal, Xia Yue found out that Shang Rui had left, and Xia Yue couldn't help being a little annoyed. She felt that she was stupid and stupid. After staying here for a few days, she couldn't find out anything.She drank the medicine and went back to the house alone. After she calmed down, she recalled all the people who appeared here, Wu Shi, Tian Yuan, Yao Chuang, Huang Minglian... and finally "Hong Wu".

According to her own observation, the master of the Tian family must be working in the court, but she doesn't know what kind of official he is.And everyone obeyed "Hong Wu", so his status was probably one level higher than Tian Yuan's.According to "Hong Wu"'s speech and behavior, his background must be extraordinary.There are very few people in the world who look alike for no reason. From the similarity in appearance, he and Zijin may be relatives.However, before Zijin's mother's family, the Chen family was almost destroyed together with the Prince's Mansion, and only some offshoots remained and fled to the north.If this "Hong Wu" is a relative of Wei's family, how could he be hostile to Xu Jingye that day, seeing her holding Zijin's jade that day, since he could recognize it at a glance, he should send her to the official.

However, there is absolutely no one with the surname Hong on either side, but I seem to remember that my father mentioned before that there was a Hong family in the Western Regions who founded the dynasty with Emperor Taizu. Died in battle on the same day, the population gradually withered.

But, is he a descendant of the Hong family?

The more Xia Yue thought about it, the more she felt a headache, and finally her whole body began to feel uncomfortable, so she simply lay down on the bed early, unexpectedly, she really fell asleep in a daze after she squinted her eyes like this.

In the dream, it went back to the day when Yishan wanted to return the jade pendant. On the way back to the city, Shang Rui borrowed her horse to ride. The cold wind kept blowing. Hearing Shang Rui taunting her coldly beside her, the more anxious her heart became, the softer her feet became.

In the middle of the night, He Xiang found that Xia Yue, who was sleeping with all her clothes on, suddenly had a high fever.

The sudden onset of the disease frightened He Xiang, so she had to go to someone.Of course, Tian Yuan and his wife also knew about it.Originally, after Shang Rui left those words, Tian Yuan didn't dare to be negligent, so he had to stay here to watch, never thought that such an accident would happen at night.

"It's all my fault," Wu said angrily, "Miss Xia Yue is still injured, so she should have a good rest. How could she be allowed to sit outside for so long during the day."

"What's the use of what you say, we won't know until the doctor comes." Tian Yuanshou said to his wife outside the house.

In such a cold snowy night, Tianjiazhuang is still a few miles away from the city, and the doctor does not know when he will arrive.

Although Xia Yue was burned all over her body, her mind was still clear. She knew some simple medical skills, so she asked people to pick out a few flavors of the medicine that hadn't been boiled before, and let He Xiang decoct it to take it.It didn't take long before the heat gradually faded.

Tian Yuan and his wife also felt a little relieved.

The doctor came in a hurry at dawn, covered in snow and wind.He felt the pulse and hesitated.

Wu asked, "Doctor Liu, what's wrong?"

The doctor twirled his beard and asked, "Does the girl have any other discomforts?" This person was the one who showed Xia Yue a hand injury a few days ago. He was invited because he was very good at treating bone injuries. When the doctor was called, I didn't think so much, I just opened the door and brought him here.

"Besides the headache, the whole body hurts, and there is no other discomfort."

Doctor Liu nodded, prescribed a prescription, and asked someone to fetch the medicine.

Because of this, Tian Yuan, known as the most diligent in the David Dynasty, was late for the court for an unprecedented time.When he arrived at Qiantai Hall, he happened to hear Ye Jun arguing with someone in the hall.

Ye Jun is an admonisher, originally a student of the Prime Minister Wang Ji, on the surface he has slightly different political views from his teacher, but in fact, in his heart, he is the only one who follows the lead of the horse, and he is just building plank roads and keeping secrets.He seldom makes outstanding remarks at ordinary times, and hides cautiously in the dark.Now this matter must have been arranged by Wang Ji in advance, so Tian Yuan simply didn't go into the hall to get involved, and stood outside to listen for a while.

During the next court, Shang Rui said to Minglian: "Let Xu Jingye go to Chengfu Palace."

When Shang Rui arrived at Chengfu Palace, Wang Xiaoxiang seemed to have been here for a long time.
