After dinner, Cheng Xue called Bai Shao and handed her the prepared gunpowder.

"These days you have been getting angry, boil the medicine later, drink a bowl each, and then go to make a warm soup. I don't need manpower here, and the ladies and young masters are also going to make the soup. You go over there to serve .”

Seeing the medicine bag, Bai Shao was very surprised, knelt down to salute, and said gratefully:
"The maidservant thanked Madam on behalf of the elder brother and the others. You are so kind, you are still thinking about us at this time."

Which family's mistress would be so careful to prepare gunpowder for the servants, not to mention that the master's assignment has never been settled, let alone take care of it.No wonder my father gave them thousands of exhortations and instructions before he left. It is worthwhile to stand with such a kind master, even if it takes his life.

Seeing how sincere she was, Cheng Xue stretched out her hand to help her up.

"You are such a silly girl. It's just a few common herbal medicines. I'm responsible for mixing them. Why bother with such a big gift? Go down and make some medicine. You will have diarrhea after drinking it. It's normal. Don't worry."

"Yes, the slave has written it down."

Cheng Xue looked at Bai Shao's red eyes and waved her hand to let her do the work first.When Li Hui came back from practicing big characters with Li Tian, ​​the two went straight to the racecourse.Because of the greeting in advance, the lanterns are lit here.Although it is not as bright as an electric light, it is still a little brighter.

A rare opportunity, Cheng Xue practiced for more than an hour, when she got off the horse, her legs were sore and she couldn't stand still, so she threw herself into Li Hui's arms.

"Hey, it's so rare that Mrs. Li throws herself into her arms!"

Cheng Xue ignored his joke, stood up straight, and let out a long sigh.

"My legs were so sore after more than an hour and my body couldn't bear it. How difficult it is for those border soldiers to fight on horseback! What's more, the armor is not light. In addition, when riding a horse, you have to stand straight, and you have to keep an eye on the six directions when fighting the enemy. Even less than civil servants, it’s really unfair.”

Li Hui listened to her complaints and happily pecked her cheek twice.

"Don't worry, I won't keep them waiting too long. Let's go back and sleep until we wake up naturally tomorrow. I guess Ren Pai should be here too."

Cheng Xue touched his face and suggested with a smile:

"I'll shave you when you go back. You haven't shaved seriously these days, it's quite annoying."

"Is it tight?" Li Hui asked while touching his face, and then rubbed her shoulder.

On the night when Xiao Qinglin and the others left, he was depressed, so he sat in the gazebo at home and drank wine.Later he got drunk and was helped back to his room by Tian Dong, and when he woke up the next day his hands were weak, it was Cheng Xue who shaved his face.At first I was a little afraid to use it, but once I experienced it, I knew the benefits of "true fragrance".

It is not too easy for people to use the knowledge they have learned to wield a knife.Not only does it shave cleanly, but it doesn't damage the skin at all, so enjoy it when you think about it.

"Then please Mrs. Li shave my face for the rest of my life. Your technique is comparable to that of an old master, absolutely top-notch."

"What, you want to be Zhao Min?"

"Who?"

Seeing his puzzled look, Cheng Xue couldn't help being startled.

"Why, haven't you read the Condor Shooting Trilogy?"

Li Hui suddenly realized, and waved his hands in a funny way——

"I have seen it, how can I not have seen it, but I am not the indecisive and vacillating Zhang Wuji, I only have you, only you. From now on, you will shave my face and I will help you draw eyebrows, how about it?"

"I don't need you."

After Cheng Xue finished speaking, she waved his hand away and ran forward quickly.After Li Hui caught up with her, he put his arms around her waist, and the two went back to the room noisy.

Those who observe in the dark, you look at me, I look at you, confused.

What sculpture?who roof?what and what...

……

After a night of nothing to say, Cheng Xue woke up the next day with a stuffy nose and sore throat, and even caught a cold.It is estimated that he was riding a horse in the dark last night, and the temperature here is lower than that in the city, so he was recruited. "Come on, drink some honey water."

Li Hui handed the bowl to her as he spoke. After she finished drinking, he asked with concern:
"How is it, does your throat still hurt?"

"It's much more comfortable." Cheng Xue replied with a strong nasal voice.

Originally, she planned to say she was sick and not go to the Gu family's banquet, but she didn't expect to pretend that she was really sick now.

"Let Shunxi set up the car later and Bai Shao follow, and send the children back first. I have a cold, don't infect them."

"Don't worry, the two carriages have left, we are the only ones left here, Tiandong will come and pick them up later."

After Li Hui finished speaking, he got up and brought over the dried millet porridge.There are two hard-boiled eggs that have been peeled off their shells, and small pickles mixed with them.

Although she has no appetite, she knows that eating is the only way to recover quickly.After careful calculation, she performed really well this year, and this was the first time she fell ill.

I drank half a bowl of porridge, ate a boiled egg, and then ate nothing else.Seeing that she was really full, Li Hui naturally picked up the bowl and drank all the "Xili Hulu".

"After entering the city, let's go to the pharmacy to check the pulse and prescribe some medicine. Your body is a tofu dregs project, so you can't fight it hard."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Cheng Xue had no objection.

If it was the previous body, it would be fine to resist it.But with her current body, she didn't dare to take risks, as it was easy to lose her hair.

After a stick of incense, Tiandong came back and brought news that Li Hui was no longer needed to help the staff.

"...This is what Mr. Zhou's attendant brought. He said it was your hard-earned money given to me by the Ministry of Personnel, and it was taken from the Ministry of Personnel's accounts."

Li Hui stretched out his hand to take the bank note, with a face value of one hundred taels, what a big deal!Naturally, she stuffed it to Cheng Xue, then picked her up and left the room.

It would be better not to have to go to the Ministry of Officials, he has plenty of time to accompany his wife to see a doctor.

The carriage entered the city and went straight to Xinglin Pavilion, which was the largest and best medicine hall in the capital, and many of the doctors there were brothers with the imperial physicians of the imperial hospital.

After diagnosing the pulse, it was a simple cold. The doctor said that there was no need to prescribe medicine. Just go home and boil some green onion, ginger and garlic water and make you sweat.But Li Hui refused and insisted on prescribing medicine. Finally, the doctor had no choice but to prescribe seven warm and tonifying decoctions to dispel cold, and that was the end of the matter.

On the way home, Cheng Xue looked at the decoction bag and shook her head with a chuckle, and asked:
"Did you see the old gentleman's expression just now? He looked at you like you were an idiot."

"It doesn't matter if you look stupid, your body is the most important thing."

Cheng Xue felt warm in her heart, leaned against his arm softly, and whispered:

"My body has recovered, this time it's just a small cold, don't worry."

Li Hui didn't say anything, but hugged her very tightly, as if afraid of being snatched away.

After returning home, Cheng Xue was placed on the kang to rest, and fell asleep in a daze, her body covered in sweat.It's a bit of a pain to catch a cold on a hot day. She wanted to take a bath but didn't dare, so she could only bear it first.

"Ma'am, I've taken my medicine."

Cheng Xue struggled to sit up, feeling a little sore all over, which should be the aftereffect of yesterday's riding.

After finishing a bowl of bitter medicine soup, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked:
"Miss, how are you guys doing?"

"Go back to Madam, Mr. Wen took the Eldest Young Master, Young Master Yixin and Tianma out to practice, and said that he will come back tomorrow night. The three ladies are making cotton clothes in the room. The master was called away."

"Who was called away?"

"I don't know, I don't know."
