Shitou soon met Changbai's servant Hanniu.

"I was just about to look for you. My second brother has finished writing down the notes from Mr. Zhuang's class these days and wants to give them to Mr. Gu." Han Niu handed a thick stack of neatly organized papers to Shi Tou.

Shitou took the notebook but didn't say thank you. He just said, "I want to see your second brother."

Hanniu rarely saw Shitou in such a panic, so he asked, "What's wrong?"

"My son...he is in a very bad condition right now. I came here privately to ask Brother Changbai to go see my son and talk to him."

Hanniu knew that Changbai regarded Gu Tingye as his own brother. After hearing what Shitou said, he did not hesitate any longer: "Then I will go and pass the message. You wait here."

"Don't pass the message on. Let me go in with you and talk to Brother Bo in person." Shi Tou was so anxious that he almost cried.

According to the rules of the Sheng family, servants are not allowed to bring outsiders into the house without the permission of the master. But at this time, Han Niu did not think much about it. He opened the door and led Shi Tou in.

The two of them hurried along the way, and Shitou kept looking around, wondering if he could run into Minglan or Xiaotao.

When they got to Changbai's room, Shitou explained everything to him in detail. Changbai stood up and was about to leave, but Shitou stopped him and said, "Master Changbai, I dare to ask to see the Sixth Miss as well?"

Changbai frowned immediately: "How can this be possible!" But thinking that Shitou would never be so unreasonable, he asked again: "Why did you see my sixth sister?"

"Well... it's like this. I heard before that Sixth Miss once cooked a dish that my young master was fascinated by, but never had the chance to eat it. I'm stupid, and I thought that if I could let my young master eat it once, maybe he would be happier... I asked to see Sixth Miss just to ask her for the recipe, and I will go back and make it for my young master." Shi Tou made up a lame excuse.

"Is this true? He has eaten all kinds of delicious food, so why would he yearn for the food made by my sixth sister?"

Shitou said with certainty: "It's true!"

Changbai knew that his little six was an extraordinary cook, but he still found this matter strange: "Really? Not for something else?"

Stone nodded frantically.

Changbai frowned and continued to look at him, trying to read something from his face. After a while, he said, "Then you wait here for a while. I'll go talk to Sixth Sister."

[No matter what, saving lives is the most important thing] Changbai thought...

……

Shou'an Hall.

After listening to what Changbai said, Minglan said, "Then I will do it right away. Brother, wait a moment."

"What kind of delicacy is this? Why have I never heard you talk about it?" Changbai was very confused.

The only delicacies Minglan had mentioned to Gu Tingye were the ones she had used to "bribe" Zhuang Xuejiu: fried quail with bamboo shoots and sea bass soup.

Gu Tingye was so sick that he definitely couldn't eat fried food. Minglan quickly made a large bowl of sea bass soup, thought for a while, and took a few pieces of lotus seed cakes she had made in the morning and put them into the lunch box.

"Isn't this just fish soup and cakes? What is so fascinating about them that Gu Tingye is so fascinated by them?" Changbai was even more confused.

Minglan: "I put two medicinal herbs in the fish soup. One is Polygala tenuifolia, which can calm the nerves, and the other is Rehmannia glutinosa, which can nourish the yin. I was afraid that he would not be full just by drinking the soup, so I also put in a few pieces of lotus seed cakes that I made this morning."

"I see. It does sound different from ordinary fish soup. But, Sixth Sister, when did you learn about pharmacology?" Changbai wanted to get something out of Minglan.

Minglan thought that this was the dietary therapy recipe that she and her grandmother developed for the He family of Baishitan in her previous life. It was not used at that time, but it worked here.

She said to Changbai, "I often serve my grandmother medicine, and I was afraid of mistakes, so I memorized some of it, but I didn't learn it on purpose."

Changbai nodded, thinking that maybe he was overthinking it, and said, "Then I'll thank Sixth Sister on his behalf!"

"We were classmates. How could I stand by and watch him suffer? Besides, it was just a bowl of fish soup. I don't deserve your thanks."

The two said no more. Changbai followed Shitou out and soon arrived at the small house in Tianshui Lane.

Gu Tingye looked haggard, and his eyes brightened slightly when he saw Changbai come in.

Changbai took a few steps forward and sat next to him, distressed: "We haven't seen each other for a few days, how come you are like this?"

Gu Tingye looked out the window: "I am a superfluous person, hated by my whole family, what can I do now..."

"How can you say that? You haven't shown up for a few days. Yuan Ruo, Chang Feng and Chang Dong have all been asking me where you've been. When I heard Shi Tou's report today, I was so anxious that my little Liu even made fish soup. So many people are thinking about you, how can it be redundant?" Chang Bai opened the food box, and the fragrance of the food immediately wafted out. "Didn't you say that you've always been thinking about this delicacy? Come and try it!"

Changbai took out a bowl of fish soup and handed it to him.

Gu Tingye took the small bowl, took a sip from the edge of the bowl, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Not bad!"

He took another big sip and asked, "Why does it smell like medicine?"

Changbai: "Xiaoliu said that two herbs were missing from the medicine, Polygala tenuifolia and Radix Rehmanniae. I asked the doctor on the way here, and he said that they are not in conflict with the medicine you are taking now, so you can use it without worry."

Gu Ting swallowed the small bowl of fish soup and said with a smile, "Comfortable!"

Changbai breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his expression had improved a little. He scooped another bowl for him and handed it to him along with a small spoon, scolding him with a smile: "You should eat properly. You've got food all over your face! Come on, eat it with a spoon."

After eating, Changbai explained Zhuang Xuejiu's notes to Gu Tingye one by one, and repeatedly reminded him not to fall behind. He did not mention Gu Tingye's family affairs, which instead relieved Gu Tingye's melancholy.

The lights were on when Changbai went out, and he bumped into a little girl without noticing.

The little girl cried out and fell to the ground. Changbai hurried forward to support her.

"Ayan! Say sorry to your uncle quickly." A woman came over in a panic and hugged the little girl.

"Ayan walked recklessly and disturbed uncle. Please apologize to him!" The little girl bowed respectfully.

Changbai smiled and said, "It's okay, as long as you're not hurt..." Before he finished speaking, he looked at the woman holding the baby girl, "Have you... seen me somewhere before?"

The light was dim and I couldn't see clearly.

"I live next door to this house. I think you often come to visit your family, so I look familiar to you." The woman's voice was gentle and clear, like an oriole. She bowed to Changbai and carried the little girl back to the house.

Changbai felt that the voice and appearance were very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen them.

[Perhaps, as she said, I have seen him around here. But why did she say that I came to see my subordinates? ]

Changbai got into the car while thinking about something, and accidentally hit his head on the car door. Hanniu laughed all the way outside the car...

……

After seeing Changbai off, Gu Tingye stared at the lotus seed cake in front of him in a daze.

[“Yuanzhi”, “Shengdi”, “Lotus seeds”, Minglan, Minglan, what do you want to tell me? ]
