Qing Yu was a restless person, after returning from Lingering Garden, he made a fuss about going out of the house to do errands for He Xiu, He Xiu got a headache from his quarrel, so he agreed.

After all, nothing happened, and there was no one to talk to, so He Xiu simply had lunch in advance, and was going to lie back in bed for a nap, but he didn't expect that it was almost dark when he woke up again.

When the servant waiting outside heard the movement, he lifted the curtain and came in to help him get dressed.

He Xiuji hangs up and releases Kong, and asks if there is anything wrong with Lingering Garden?

The boy replied that everything was fine.

He Xiu was still not at ease. Before he left, the strong smell of blood on Shi Kong's pale lips and nose made him uneasy, so he sent the boy to wait at Shi Kong's place, and he put on a thick fox cloak. Joe went to the dining room.

It was windy and cold at night, and He Xiu's body was very afraid of the cold, so he seldom went out at this time, so when the steward of the dining room was giving a lecture to his subordinates, they all froze when they saw a person coming in covered in cold air.

"Master, why are you here now?"

The steward was the first to greet him, "Be careful."

After speaking, he put the hand stove into He Xiu's arms, and then led him to the steaming stove to get rid of the cold.It was very warm inside the room, and the frost in He Xiu's hair melted away after he stayed there for a while, but his face, which was somewhat transparent from the cold, still hadn't slowed down, and it was shocking to look at.

"I'll make some food by myself, you are busy and don't need to take care of me."

The steward and a group of servants accompanied him cautiously, but He Xiu seemed to be fine, rubbing his hands and warming the fire for a while, then wandered around the dining room.

The original owner is a dutiful son, his mother was mentally weak when she was still alive, and her health was not very good. After the original owner learned the medicine, she often came to this dining room to make some medicinal food by herself, thinking of slowly recuperating for Mrs. Zeng, but her mother took a long time The illness became a death, and he died early.

The core of the body has changed, but those skills and instincts have not been forgotten, so He Xiu wants to make some nourishing vegetarian food and send it to Shi Kong, which can be regarded as compensation for bullying him before.

So everyone saw him hastily washed his hands and got busy.

The first thing He Xiu made was bergamot rice porridge. Cut the fresh bergamot into slices, boil it, remove the dregs and leave the juice, and then boil it with the washed japonica rice until it was half ripe, add rock sugar and mix thoroughly, and then cook it over low heat. Simmer carefully.

The steward sent two servants to help him, and He Xiu asked them to watch the heat of the porridge, and took the time to wrap the stuffing with tofu skin and made some tofu skin buns.He is dexterous with his hands. After kneading the shape, he folds it in four like a paper bag. It is square and cute. Then he seals it with egg white paste and steams it in a basket.

The last one is more troublesome, jujube paste yam cake, but it has the effect of nourishing the spleen and soil, nourishing the heart and lungs. Although it is troublesome, He Xiu still makes it.

He cut the seedless jujube into thin shreds, sliced ​​the yam, sprinkled with icing sugar and mixed them well, steamed them over high heat for a quarter of an hour, took them out and spread them out to cool.After cooling down, press the yam into a puree, then knead it with glutinous rice flour to form a ball, take an appropriate amount and press it into a cake shape, add smashed red dates to make the filling, then knead it into balls with your hands, and put them on the plate one by one Arrange it well, put it on a high fire and steam it over water for a while, and finally add clean wolfberries for decoration.

It took He Xiu more than half an hour for the simple three-course meal, but fortunately, the appearance of the food after it was cooked was steamed, elegant, and refined, and he himself was quite satisfied with it.

"Go, send it to the monk in the Lingering Garden." He said to the servant next to him in a good mood.

------

Afterwards, He Xiu didn't stay in the dining room any longer, because his servants spread the news that Qing Yu had returned home, and it was already getting late, so he sent Qing Yu to prepare soup and take a bath early.

There is a special Tangxiu Pavilion in Hefu. One side of the pavilion bathes in Huaqing Pool. The water outlet in the pool is equipped with a lotus fountain. Inside the pool are lifelike sculptures of flowers, birds, fish and dragons. The fog is everywhere, and the mist is like clouds.

Qingyu waited on He Xiu as before, when he took off his complicated brocade robe and only a light undershirt was left, but his young master suddenly pressed his hand, as if remembering something, he asked awkwardly: "Qingyu, Smell it carefully, what does it smell like on me?"

Qing Yu sniffed, and said blankly: "...Young Master has no smell."

He Xiu recalled what Shi Kong said about the smell of the medicine, his face turned red and then turned pale, and he said thickly, "Come closer and smell it carefully."

Qing Yu hugged his waist, buried his face in his arms, rubbed back and forth for a while, then raised his head and smiled: "Master, I smell the smell of red dates and yam cake."

Veins suddenly popped up on He Xiu's forehead, and his hands shuddered. Qing Yu held his head in aggrieved manner, and looked up at him timidly.He Xiu was inexplicably agitated, he calmed down, and he knew very well in his heart that the smell of this medicine must not be very pleasant no matter whether he asked or not.

"Qingyu, a few days ago, a merchant from the Western Regions offered some precious spices. Go to the warehouse to find Uncle He, and tell me that I want it now."

Qing Yu hurriedly went to do it.

Half an hour later, He Xiu came out of the bath smelling fragrant all over, with water dripping from the tip of his hair, causing Qing Yu to walk around beside him like a puppy, sniffing non-stop.

It's Xu time now, and it's time to go to bed as usual.But He Xiu summoned the kitchen boy on a whim, and asked if the person in the Lingering Garden had something to say about the dinner he cooked.

The boy honestly said that the other party did not move, and returned untouched.

He Xiu felt upset when he heard this, but he just held back his anger and didn't explode.

But the little servant was blank, and he talked a lot: "When I was sending the food, Aunt Liu in the west wing was talking to the master, and the girl next to me was carrying a food basket, and the things on the plate looked like moved."

He Xiu's face darkened immediately, and regardless of Qingyu's dissuasion, he asked the boy to bring the porridge that had already gone cold, and went to the Lingering Garden with a lantern at night to settle accounts with Shi Kong.

At night, the cold wind was blowing light snow, and it was really bitingly cold on people's faces, and the white air exhaled from their mouths almost froze.

He Xiu's exposed skin was almost numb. He endured the discomfort and walked through the plum forest, but just as he stepped into the courtyard and before entering the hall, he saw a pair of people standing in front of the Buddha statue in the distance.

It was Shi Kong and Aunt Liu.

An entire hour has passed since He Xiu sent someone to deliver the meals, that is to say, Aunt Liu and Shi Kong stayed from You hour to Xu hour.

"Let me ask you, did the master come back today?"

He Xiu's voice trembled slightly, he didn't know if it was from anger or something else.

The young man realized that something was wrong, so he said, "No... not."

"Okay, okay, let me go!" He Xiu gritted his teeth, and the anger in his chest was surging. He couldn't hold it back for a while, and he lifted the suitcase in the boy's arms and knocked it to the ground. It fell to pieces, and the pastries and buns rolled all over the floor.

This noise caught the attention of two people in the hall.

Aunt Liu turned her face first, she took off her veil, covered half of her festered face with white plaster, her eyes were like autumn water, charming, at first glance, that half of her face was not so ferocious.Shi Kong is holding a string of red agate jewellery, clearly the one she wore on her wrist earlier.

He Xiu stared at Shi Kong coldly.

When Shi Kong met He Xiu's gaze, he who was always as calm as still water, suddenly felt a tightening in his heart.

"Master, Master?"

Although the young man was quite frightened, he still couldn't help but said, "It's windy at night, don't wait for a long time."

He Xiu's lips moved, but in the end he walked away with the servant without saying anything.

Behind him, a pair of slender and powerful hands slowly picked up the frozen bun that had rolled to the ground.

……

The next day, the He Mansion, which had finally been calm for a long time, had another riot.

Because the young master is ill.

The body of the original owner was not a strong one at all, and after being born in the mother's womb, she suffered from individual weakness and chills.Therefore, the whole He Mansion was very careful, for fear that He Xiu, who was in the cold weather, would be frozen and his body would be uncomfortable.

In the end, the master was fine. He just finished taking a bath last night, and ran to Lingering Garden in a hurry before the moisture dissipated, and stood in the cold wind for a long time. He woke up the next day with dry mouth and tongue, and wanted to get out of bed by himself. I poured water to drink, but unexpectedly my mind was dizzy and my limbs were weak. As soon as I got out of bed, I fell on the ground with a plop.Qing Yu, who brought in the hot water for washing, almost lost his mind.

He Xiu was He Xuanling's only son after all, so although the relationship between the two was not very close, this son was still highly valued by He Xuanling. If He Xuanling found out that He Xiu was ill, the servants in the mansion would definitely have to beat him up.So He Xiu's illness caused everyone around him to panic, and they hoped that he would recover quickly before He Xuanling returned to the mansion.

When He Xiu woke up from the fever, Qing Yu with red eyes was watching by the bedside.

"Master, how are you? Don't scare Qing Yu." Qing Yu cried.

He Xiu rubbed his sore and swollen head, he had never suffered from this crime in his last life, and today it was a fresh experience, "Has the doctor been here?"

He Bo, who was standing next to Qingyu, said yes.

"The doctor said that the young master's high fever persisted due to wind and cold entering his body, and he needed to drink medicine to rest and recuperate."

Out of the corner of his eye, He Xiu caught sight of a monk's robe behind the curtain, and said in a hoarse voice, "Since we need to rest, why are there so many people in the room? It's annoying to see it."

As soon as the words fell, the moon-white monk's robe moved and disappeared from sight.

He Xiu sent Uncle He away again, leaving Qingyu alone to watch over him. He obediently drank the medicine and went back to sleep.

This time I slept very unsteadily, my body was hot and cold, and I couldn't sweat, it was terribly uncomfortable.Suddenly the wrist pulse tightened, as if being held by warm palms, something was slowly sent into the body, pressing his meridians, it was extremely comfortable.

He Xiu couldn't help moaning.

That hand seemed to have touched his cheek, but it was only for a moment, and then left quickly, leaving behind a slightly cold scent.

He Xiu tried his best to open his eyes, but saw Qing Yu dozing off beside him.So I woke him up and asked if anyone came in?

Qing Yu rubbed his eyes and shook his head.

He Xiu felt strange.

"By the way, young master," Qing Yu said with a blushing face, "Master Shikong asked me to send you a message just now when he was outside, he said that monks don't eat after noon, so I wasted your heart last night, I'm really sorry. "

He Xiu snorted, but most of the anger in his heart was gone.

"Young master, your spirit has improved a lot. This doctor is really clever."

"It's fine when the fever subsides. It's not a serious illness at all." He Xiu smiled, "Okay, don't worry about it. It's not good for me to fall asleep all the time. Help me get up and go to the lobby for dinner."

When Qing Yu heard what he said, his expression became a little tense.

He Xiu asked, "What's wrong?"

Qing Yu faltered and said: "No, it's nothing, the master just came back."

If He Xuanling came back, someone would definitely report on his situation. Given how much He Xuanling valued his son, why didn't he show his presence?

But looking at Qing Yu's attitude right now, it seems that the other party has never been here, which is really weird.

He Xiu is not someone who can be fooled, his face sank: "What else?"

Qing Yu lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Master, master brought a woman back, and now the whole house revolves around that woman..."

"woman?"

"Well," Qing Yu tilted his head and thought carefully, "It seems to be... what is it called Su Yijin?"
