Brother Rong couldn't sit still in the yard.
I couldn't sit still at all, as if I was soaking in hot water, my whole body was boiling hot.
Jia Rong was on the verge of tears and glared at Que'er, the culprit. "What are you looking at? Get out."
Que'er said innocently: "I heard from my aunt that drinking this soup can not only replenish the spirit of a man, but also strengthen the body. It should still be in the period of efficacy of the medicine. The uncle has to move to release the power of the medicine. .”
Where is the tonic here? This description sounds unfair.
If it weren't for Que'er's young age, I would have wanted to punish the culprit on the spot. Brother Rong thought bitterly, as if he was dumbfounded by this ignorant little guy again. He held his coat in his hands without putting it on, preparing to go to Huifang Garden to get some fresh air.
"Uncle, are you feeling unwell after drinking the soup? Could it be that the evil fire has come up! Que'er's aunt said that although this tonic is good, if a young man drinks too much, evil fire will arise in his heart." The little girl seemed to have thought of it. What? He said hurriedly: "I once heard my aunt mention that if there is an evil fire, you can either use yin and yang to reconcile the fire, or use cold incense pills to extinguish the fire."
Brother Rong had long sensed something was wrong, but now he understood even more after hearing Que'er's words. Drinking a little of the soup cooked by this silly girl is good for your health. If you take more tonic, the effect will be the same as an aphrodisiac.
I was tricked by this stupid maid!
How to reconcile now? What a mess, my wife is busy.
Let's go for a walk in the garden. If it still doesn't heal, then go and see Sister Feng.
In the cold winter, every building in Huifang Garden is covered with a layer of white snow, as if wearing a white goose down feather coat. The snow on the road is cleared every day, and Brother Rong walks in it. I kept hinting to myself: The garden is so beautiful today. I feel very calm and don't have any other thoughts.
The face of Que'er who was following behind kept changing, feeling guilty and embarrassed. The little maid hesitated for a while, then finally bit her silver teeth, mustered up the courage to catch up with Uncle Rong and said, "Quer, please go ask grandma, and ask grandma to come over and put out the fire for uncle."
Brother Rong was speechless. Wouldn't it be too obvious to go to Ke Qing to come here now? Madam, you still don’t know what to think? What do other people in the house think of themselves?
"No."
"Then the uncle wants Que'er. It's all Que'er's fault. Even if grandma kicks me out of the house today, Que'er can't watch the uncle feel uncomfortable."
Jia Rong doesn't have that special hobby, so he can't do anything to the young Que'er. While walking around, I saw someone leading Xue Pan and Baoyu over.
"Brother Rong, what are you doing? Why don't you put on your coat in the cold weather?"
Brother Rong forced a smile, put the coat in his hand on his abdomen, and said: "My body is a little hot, and it feels good to walk like this. Why are Uncle Xue and Uncle Bao here?"
Baoyu said: "It's strange. Could it be that you also have heat poison in your heart? Today, Sister Bao just took Lengxiang Pills to suppress the heat poison. Brother Xue and I feel bored staying in the house and want to invite you to drink at Wanhua Tower. Go. I didn’t expect that you would also be infected with heat poison."
Xiao Que'er's eyes lit up and she quickly said: "Uncle, that Lengxiang Pill can also relieve the fire in your body."
"Don't talk nonsense." Brother Rong shouted hurriedly, and then said to Jia and Xue: "I'm afraid I won't be able to go today. The two uncles have also seen my current state. I don't want to make people laugh when I go out."
Xue Pan said: "What a big deal, our Xue family still has a lot of cold scented pills. I'll get one for you. After you have eaten, we can go to the Wanhua Building to have a drink together."
"It's inconvenient!" Brother Rong didn't want to cause too much trouble and didn't want to go to Wanhua Tower with these two people.
"There is no inconvenience. Sister Bao has always been very nice and generous to others. She will not be stingy when she knows Brother Rong's illness." Baoyu obviously had a very good impression of Baochai and agreed repeatedly. But the little fat man changed his subject and said, "She is the only one who likes to be a teacher and persuade people to make progress. If Brother Xue and Brother Rong go to ask for medicine, I won't go, otherwise she will have to do it to me again." Let’s talk.”
Xue Pan was stunned and said: "Brother Bao wants to go to Wanhua Tower first?"
Baoyu shook his head and said: "The snow pear soup in their Dongfu tastes better than ours in the West. But I have been thinking about it for a long time. I will go to Brother Rong's daughter-in-law to ask for a bowl of soup and wait for you."
Does the little fat man really want to eat soup?
A cold light flashed across Jia Rong's eyes. She had heard a lot about this little fat man. In the past, the little fat man, just because he was still young, often pounced on his wives and others in the West Mansion. Later, when I got a few years older, I would always drag the girls in the courtyard to eat rouge.
It seems that as soon as the holidays are over and there is no more pressure from homework, this little fat guy will come out of the cage again. Jia Zheng is so incompetent, why is Baoyu still so fussy? He thought to himself that he would have to find an opportunity to treat this guy in the future.
He said: "If Uncle Bao wants to drink, just send a maid to the garden."
The little fat man was stunned for a moment, but he didn't know what excuse to make. I can't say that I have been living a "lonely" life recently. Sister Lin went to Yangzhou. Today, Sister Bao is sick again. I thought that when I came to Dongfu to invite Brother Rong, I would take a look at his hairpin that looks like a treasure and is like a daisy hair. Jade's wife, can you explain the pain of missing Sister Lin? It would be even better if he could ask about Qin Zhong's recent situation.
Xue Pan said: "Brother Rong is right, we are all members of the family. If Brother Bao wants to drink in the future, wouldn't it be nice to ask Brother Rong to find a maid to take it to the courtyard for you? Let's go together. Go quickly, it's very lively in Wanhua Building today. I'm late, but I don't have a good seat to see Miss Xianmei's figure."
It turns out that the performance of Xianmei's first dance in Wanhua Tower has been spread throughout all the palaces in Shenjing. Only people like Brother Rong who don't care about this don't know about this.
Xue Panzhen was so kind that it was hard to refuse. Brother Rong refused, and finally had no choice but to follow him to ask for medicine. Baoyu was extremely reluctant, but at the urging of the impatient Xue Pan, he could only follow him to Lixiangyuan.
Aunt Xue in the courtyard had a strange expression when she heard that Xue Pan was here to ask for medicine for Brother Rong.
Brother Rong's face was somewhat embarrassed. This Leng Xiang Wan had been rumored to be very miraculous by people in the two houses. I heard that the materials used for all things are limited and easy to obtain, but it is very rare to put them together. A rich family like the Xue family has always put in a lot of effort to look like this.
Although Xue Pan was domineering to others, he was very affectionate towards his close acquaintances. He said: "Brother Rong suddenly fell ill, and his body was burning like a fire. He took Lengxiang Pills to relieve it. I specially brought him here as a beg for my sister. A medicine can temporarily cure this poison."
Xue Baochai listened to the noise in the room and got an idea. When he came out and saw Brother Rong, who was wearing thin clothes, he chuckled and said, "It's just a pill. The kitchen is full of yellow cypress soup, so I asked someone to give me a bowl to take with it."
Dongfu had little contact with the Xue family, and Jia Rong saw Xue Baochai even less frequently. I was afraid of being frivolous and often avoided him, so the two of them had never spoken.
Before Brother Rong could thank her, he saw Baoyu running over excitedly and asked, "Is sister okay?"
What a duplicitous guy!
It's just that Brother Rong now feels a special feeling in his heart when he looks at the elegant Xue Baochai in front of him.
Brother Rong covered his lower abdomen with a coat and thought to himself: Maybe it's because of the Laozi soup!
