Happy Little Scholar

"Master Li..."

She had just woken up and her consciousness had not yet fully recovered. She looked at Li Yi and blinked innocently. 』』

"Are you awake?" Li Yi withdrew his hand from her forehead and said, "This is Ruyifang. You fainted outside just now..."

The voice paused, and then said: "I'm not feeling well, and I'm not taking good care of myself at home, so I just went to sing those words."

There was a wry smile on Qing Qiao's face. Some things were beyond their control. For them, these things had long been accustomed to them.

She supported her body and sat up, and said apologetically: "I have caused trouble for you."

"Stop shouting like a son-in-law all the time. I'm not used to it..." Li Yi waved his hand and said: "The medicine is being boiled outside. Since you live in the Goulan next door, you are not in a hurry to go back. Just drink the medicine before leaving. By the way, have you eaten?"

Wan Ruoqing shook her head. Actors and singers like them cannot eat too much before a performance. They can only eat two cents full. Any more will affect their singing skills.

Every time she went out to perform, she always used to bring some sweet-scented osmanthus cakes. When she was really hungry, she would eat two pieces. Tonight, all the cakes she brought were given to others.

"I happen to be not full, so please sit here for a while."

Although it was already late, and it was not a good habit to eat after nine o'clock in the evening, it was probably not appropriate for her to drink medicine on an empty stomach. In addition, Li Yi did not eat enough in the palace, because the emperor's fainting incident was another torment. I'm really hungry now.

Lao Fang lit a fire in the corner of the yard and waited for the medicine in the casserole to be boiled. When he saw Li Yi walking into the kitchen and starting to work, he took a look inside the house and let out a long sigh.

Isn't my uncle going to keep that woman overnight?

Since the uncle did not hide from him, it showed his absolute trust in him, but if he helped him hide it, he would feel sorry for the eldest lady, and a new war between heaven and man began in Lao Fang's heart.

After a while, a decision was made.

If you do something wrong once, you will keep doing it wrong. The more times you hide it from the eldest lady, the less guilty you feel in your heart.

…………

Wan Ruoqing watched Li Yi go out and sit upright on the bed.

There was a small stool next to the bed with a small jar of wine on it. She smelled it from the smell emanating from the wine jar.

He touched his forehead and felt it was cold. He brought his palm up and smelled it, and there was also a faint smell of alcohol.

She had recovered a lot of energy at this time. Although she was still a little uncomfortable, the dizzy feeling was gone.

Just now, she vaguely felt someone wiping her forehead and palms. It was probably not an illusion. Although she didn't know the reason, the reason why she felt more comfortable probably had something to do with it.

The imperial doctor just now ordered you to humbly ask for advice in front of him. His medical skills should be very good, right?

All kinds of complicated thoughts flashed through her mind. After a moment, she raised her head and began to observe the surrounding environment.

It was a small room, and she was currently on a bed in the corner. The furnishings in the room were very simple, including a bed, a table and chairs, and a wooden shelf with toiletries placed on it.

There were no books in the room, nor pen, ink, paper or inkstone. On the wall opposite her, there was a strange painting.

The reason why it is strange is that this painting is obviously not the mainstream painting method today, nor is it a three-dimensional painting she has seen. It is somewhat similar to the painting method on the prayer lantern she still collects today. The outline of the lines is simple. Casual to the extreme.

The thing in the painting looked like a domestic cat. There were three whiskers on the left and right sides. The eyes and nose were small dots. There was no mouth. There was a small strange thing on the left ear, which she had never seen before. of.

Strange scholar, strange painting... Thinking about it this way, it doesn't feel so strange anymore.

The porridge was cooked on the stove, but it would take a while before it was ready. Li Yi walked in with a bowl, walked to the bed and handed it to her, saying: "Drink more brown sugar and ginger water, it is good for your body."

Brown sugar ginger water can dispel wind and cold, resolve phlegm and relieve cough, and can also warm and stop vomiting. It is much gentler than drinking medicine.

Of course, just now Dr. Liu said that her menstruation was coming. Menstruation means aunt. Brown sugar has the function of replenishing blood. Drinking this should also be beneficial, right?

Li Yi does not live in the shop permanently, and the furnishings in the room are very simple, but because he has to cook his own meals, the kitchen is fully equipped with all kinds of utensils, seasonings, etc., including brown sugar and ginger.

Wan Ruoqing took it in a daze. As a woman, she naturally knew the effects of brown sugar ginger water. When menstruation came every month, she would cook some and drink it almost every day... What did he mean by what he just said?

Does he know that he... Thinking that the gray-haired old man just now was the imperial physician in the palace, Wan Ruoqing's pretty face turned extremely red.

When Li Yi returned to the kitchen, he gave her a strange look. The woman was really strange. Her face was as white as paper just now, and now she is as red as this...

The porridge is ordinary gruel with two side dishes. It is not a good habit to eat at night, but it is okay to indulge once in a while. After Ruoqing drank the medicine, Li Yi sent her to the door of her house.

Entering through the hooked entrance, Li Yicai was surprised to find that there was only a wall between Ruyifang and Wanruoqing's residence.

"Sister Ruoqing, are you back? How is the palace? Is it fun?"

The person who opened the door was a young girl. When she saw Wan Ruoqing, her pretty face lit up and she chattered a few words. Then she realized that there was a stranger standing next to her and was stunned.

"Remember to take the medicine on time."

Li Yi reminded her, waved his hand, and turned back.

After hearing the girl ask several questions such as "Sister Ruoqing, who is he?", the door closed behind him.

In Ruyifang, the expression on Lao Fang's face was obviously much more relaxed. The son-in-law did not let the woman stay overnight, so there was no need to consider the issue of loyalty. It was the best outcome for both the son-in-law and the eldest lady.

In the Ning Wang Mansion, Cui Yanxin took another gulp of wine, and his head was already dizzy.

"Brother Cui, cheers!" Opposite him, Jiang Zian raised his glass.

The two of them were brothers in distress tonight. One was hurt and the other was embarrassed, but they actually felt a sense of mutual appreciation.

"She is just a county lieutenant of the eighth rank, how dare she humiliate me like this! That actress is also blind. When the imperial court appoints her, Brother Zi'an will be at least a seventh rank official, but she ignored him." Cui Yanxin's tone was still indignant, and he didn't forget to stab Jiang Zi'an again after he finished speaking.

Jiang Zi'an's eyes showed a gloomy look, he raised his head and drank the wine in the glass, but didn't speak.

"That person, seems to be County Magistrate Liu?"

Cui Yanxin put down the wine glass, glanced, saw a person not far away, and after a moment of stunned, he walked over there.
