"Three nine-leaf clover cost five cents, deer antler one cent, wolfberry nine cents, plantain four cents, schisandra two cents, raspberry five cents..."
Zhu Youtang looked at the prescription, frowned for a long time, and asked:
"Why don't you take the Queen's pulse first?"
Li Qing shook his head: "No, no, this is not medicine prescribed for the queen."
"If you don't prescribe it to the queen, who will you give it to..." Zhu Youtang was startled for a moment, then realized, "Is this medicine prescribed to me?"
"Exactly!"
"This..." Zhu Youtang was stunned for a moment, and then got angry: "What do you mean, what do you mean...?"
"What are you in a hurry for?" Li Qing was confused.
Zhu Youtang's fat face turned red and he said angrily: "My body is strong and I don't need these."
"If you don't need it, then don't use it. Are you like this?" Li Qing was speechless. "Your Majesty, let me tell you the truth. Your Majesty's illness has basically recovered. The reason why you haven't conceived the Emperor's heir is mainly because...you have so many things to do. People are not good at sexual intercourse, and everyone’s body constitution is different. Some people get it right in one go, and some people... ahem, do you understand?"
Zhu Youtang: "..."
Li Qing also said that he didn't understand, so he simply explained: "You have to be diligent in having sex, and you have to do a lot..."
"Understood! I understand!!" Zhu Youtang rolled the prescription into a ball, threw it aside, and shouted: "You don't need to say it!!"
What are you yelling at? Li Qing was also a little angry: I gave you a doctor, are you still angry? Damn...
"The common people are going to Changle Palace to diagnose the pulse of the Supreme Emperor. Please leave." Li Qing turned around and left, ignoring the words behind him, "You are bullying me too much!"
Zhu Youtang was furious: What does the surname Li mean? Are you saying I'm vain? Am I weak? ah?
It's just...a shame and a shame!
Zhu Youtang's chest rose and fell violently, and it took a while before it slowly calmed down.
He looked around and saw no one, so he quickly walked to the side and picked up the paper ball, opened it and smoothed out the wrinkles, and stared at it for a while.
"Somebody come!"
…
"Well~ don't tell me, this acupuncture is quite comfortable. After one injection, your whole body is clear..." Zhu Jianshen was only wearing a small coat, lying on the bed, pillowing his arms, with a face full of enjoyment. ΟиЪ.ōΓＧ
There was a stove burning in the room, the windows were covered with leather, and the temperature inside was so high that it was almost early summer.
Li Qing twisted the silver needle and warned, "The temperature difference between indoor and outdoor is too big. You should wear more clothes when going out. Of course, it is better not to go out on this cold day."
"I know." Zhu Jianshen nodded, "By the way, Xiaohao is back with you, right?"
"Um."
Zhu Jianshen pondered for a moment and said: "In this case, you go back and buy some charcoal, and I will go there when the weather clears."
"Why, you really want to go to Jinling to celebrate the New Year?" Li Qing was surprised.
Zhu Jianshen shook his head: "I'd better not bother with it, and I don't want to bother with it anymore. However, it looks like you can't go back before the New Year. Let's celebrate the New Year here. It will be more lively."
Li Qing nodded.
"What are your plans after the new year?" Zhu Jianshen asked again.
"I have to go to Cochin."
"When exactly? How long will it take?"
Li Qing thought for a while and said: "When things happen here, I will send Li Hao back first, and then go to Jiaozhi. I estimate that I will be back before winter at the latest. I can travel quickly."
"That's it..." Zhu Jianshen nodded slightly and sighed: "Your departure is at least on a monthly basis, and at most on a yearly basis. I really don't know how many times we can see each other again."
Li Qing smiled: "Why, do you feel lonely?"
"Yes." Zhu Jianshen sighed again: "Maybe at the end of life, you will always feel like this."
After a pause, he tilted his head and looked at Li Qing, "I really don't know how you have been living these years."
"How can I live? Just live day by day." Li Qing said lightly, but the hand that twisted the silver needle stopped. After a while, he continued acupuncture...
"Okay," Li Qing wiped the silver needle and put it back into the needle box, "It's been very cold these days, so don't go out. When the snow melts away and the sun comes out, you can go to Lianjia Village if you want to." .”
"Well." Zhu Jianshen got up from the bed and put on a velvet robe, "I am most afraid of the cold now, and I don't plan to go out in the next few days."
Then, there was another smile: "I'm coming tomorrow, let's have a drink."
"Sure." Li Qing stood up and said, "Let's go."
"Um…."
~
Lianjiatun'er, Xiaoyuan'er.
Li Qing came in with the dishes, and Li Hao started to complain when he came up.
"Are you okay? Are you comfortable?" Li Hao was full of resentment, "I can't go back to celebrate the New Year now. Are you happy?"
It’s already the middle of the twelfth lunar month, what a waste of time to go back.
Of course, according to the intensity of the last trip, we can still go back, but the problem is that the queen is not pregnant with the emperor's heir yet.
This cannot be solved in a day or two, and it is even far from possible.
After all...it's been almost a year.
Li Hao hummed: "I have already written a letter to my mother, asking her to send someone to pick me up. Also, I won't cook. If you want to eat, cook it yourself, or buy it ready-made."
Li Qing was surprised: "Good boy, you can do it. Aren't you afraid of getting slapped?"
"You're done!" Li Hao, who was worried about not being able to go home for the New Year, rarely became stubborn, "I won't have a good time this year anyway, so why don't you have a good time too."
"Hey?" Li Qing raised his hand to strike, thought for a moment, then put it down, "Okay, I'll do it today."
"I won't eat even if you do it!"
"Whether you like to eat or not, it's really embarrassing for you." Li Qing lost his face when he saw him kicking his nose.
…
Living room.
"Gululu..."
The aroma is overflowing, the meat slices are rising and falling, and the fresh red dried chili peppers are surging, making your mouth water.
'Gudong! '
Li Hao swallowed a big mouthful of saliva and couldn't move his eyes away. He didn't expect that the slap in the face would come so quickly.
He sniffed and couldn't help but pick up the chopsticks...
"Hey, hey, what are you doing? What are you doing?"
"I..." Li Hao tilted his head and hummed: "I just... help you check if it's done. Don't eat the raw meat or you'll have diarrhea later."
"You don't have to worry about this." Li Qing said with a smile, "I can't even tell whether the food is cooked or not. Besides, I am a doctor, and there is a medicine for diarrhea."
"Think of good intentions as a donkey's liver and lungs." Li Hao snorted, put down his chopsticks, folded his hands on his chest, and turned his head to look at the yard.
I don't know when it snowed, and the ground was covered with a light layer of white. He was a little distracted for a while.
At this time in previous years, he was so nourished in Yongqinghou Mansion. Now...
Mother, father, little sister, I miss you... Li Hao felt like crying.
Not only was he wronged, but after being away from home for almost a year, he really missed home and his family. He had never been away from home in his whole life, not to mention it was thousands of miles away.
He missed home, missed everything at home, and the snow at home was not so cold...
Li Hao's vision was blurred.
"Hey, what are you thinking about?"
Li Hao was startled. He blinked, not wanting to expose his embarrassing side, and hummed: "I want you to take care of it!?"
"Haha, I thought someone was crying."
"It's so funny!" Li Hao snorted, then saw his movements in a blink of an eye, "What are you doing?"
"Pair it with dipping sauce," Li Qing said matter-of-factly. "The hot pot is perfect with my secret dipping sauce."
It's so fragrant, and it also needs to be paired with dipping sauce... Li Hao couldn't even imagine how delicious it would be.
Not long after, Li Qing started to move.
Although Li Hao deliberately avoided it, he still couldn't help but look at him. He took the plump mutton out of the pot, rinsed it on a plate, and dipped it in chili oil, minced garlic, sesame seeds, chopped green onions...
Put it into your mouth all at once...
Although Li Hao didn't eat it, he could imagine how enjoyable it was for his taste buds.
"How about something to eat?"
"Don't eat!" Li Hao simply turned the chair around and sat on its back, resting his chin on the back of the chair, facing the door and admiring the snow.
In a short time, white covered the background of the small courtyard, the wind whimpered, and the snowflakes danced wildly.
It's colder.
It's not even that cold in Jinling... Li Hao misses home even more. He misses him teasing his little sister, misses his mother's brows and pricks his ears, and even misses his father's paternal love.
At this moment, my father's big mouth was warm.
As he thought about it, he cried.
His shoulders were hunched.
During the festive season, I miss my family even more. When I was sixteen, I left home. Now I am seventeen, but I still can’t go back. I feel very painful inside.
At this time, my little sister loves to make snowballs made of cats and dogs. He can kick them and break them, making her angry and chasing him, and then he can do tricks to make her happy;
His mother has also begun to prepare red envelopes. He can take two of them and have his ears pulled by his mother...
He wanted to have wings on his ribs, fly thousands of miles, return home, and realize all this.
"Stop crying, come here and have something to eat."
"I won't eat." Li Hao said angrily without looking back.
Li Qing scratched his head and smiled bitterly: "Are you really angry with Master Qing?"
"No, I'm just not hungry." Li Hao's voice was choked, and big tears rolled down his face, but he still tried his best to hide them and make his back look calm.
Li Qing sighed and said, "Do you still remember your father's parting words?"
"What?"
"I miss my home after eating so well." Li Qing said with a smile, "Besides, the capital is not without relatives, and I... Where is your uncle? When the time comes, he will definitely give you a big red envelope."
Li Hao wiped his face, was silent for a while, turned around with his chair, picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
fragrant,
So delicious!
The aroma is spicy, spicy and numb, and paired with the secret dipping sauce... Li Hao cried again.
"Why are you crying again?" Li Qing wondered.
"It's nothing." Li Hao raised his sleeves and wiped his face. He was embarrassed to say that it was so delicious that he cried, so he kept eating like crazy...
A quarter of an hour later, the hot pot reached the bottom, and Li Hao burped, still unfinished.
"Not full?"
"Ang, a little bit." Li Hao said in a muffled voice.
Li Qing smiled: "Wait."
"Master Qing, where are you going?" Li Hao saw that it was snowing heavily and he had to go out, so he stood up and said, "I'm almost full."
"I bought some noodles and ordered some noodles to eat."
"oh."
~
The noodles cooked in the hot pot had a strong numbing aroma and were even more delicious than meat. Li Hao ate two more small bowls before he was satisfied.
He leaned back in the chair, feeling warm all over. Looking at the heavy snow in the yard, it seemed... not that cold anymore.
"Still homesick?"
Li Hao scratched his head in embarrassment and said dullly: "I don't think so anymore."
