Chapter 271: Trick
Outside the window, the autumn rain was still splashing, and the house was filled with the smell of medicinal wine. Xu Jin's sleeves were rolled up, his right arm was exposed, and Xie Xiaowan was carefully wiping it for him with medicinal wine.
The medicinal wine is specially prepared by the old man Xie Qing, which can reduce swelling and relieve pain, promote blood circulation and eliminate blood stasis through the meridians, since the splint was removed, Xie Xiaowan will wipe Xu Jin once every morning and evening.
In fact, after three months of recuperation, Xu Jin's right hand is basically fine, and he is now able to write, but just now in order to rescue the Lord of Yongfu, it is estimated that he used too much force, so it is a little dull pain at this time. Xie Xiaowan was worried, so after returning to her residence, she immediately brought medicine and wine to wipe it for Xu Jin, and pouted her little mouth to "count" her father-in-law who didn't care about his body.
Xu Jin hurriedly smiled and confessed: "Good lady, just spare Xianggong, I was in a hurry to save people at that time, and Xianggong will definitely pay attention next time." After speaking, he put his left hand around Xie Xiaowan's slender belt and put it into his arms, put his face on the latter's chest, and comfortably sniffed the girl's unique fragrance.
Xie Xiaowan blushed and said in a low voice: "Don't make trouble, it's not good for Yue'er to come in and see it later." ”
Xu Jin smiled: "What are you afraid of, Yue'er hasn't seen it before." ”
Xie Xiaowan couldn't help but twist Xu Jin's earlobe lightly, and said shyly: "I didn't blame you last time, I deliberately wet other people's clothes." ”
The fifteen-year-old girl became more and more attractive as she got older, and once when she was taking a bath, Xu Jin couldn't hold it, and deliberately wet Xie Xiaowan's clothes, and then shamelessly pulled the lady into the bathtub to take a mandarin duck and bath together.
Xu Jin was thick-skinned and didn't care, but Xie Xiaowan was so ashamed that she didn't dare to bathe Xianggong for a few days after the fight.
Xie Xiaowan finished wiping the medicinal wine for Xu Jin, then gently tidied up her clothes, and asked a little worriedly: "Xianggong, the weather is getting colder, when will we leave for Beijing?" People have heard that it is cold in the north, and sometimes it starts to snow in October, and if the road is closed by heavy snow, it will be bad. ”
Xu Jin nodded and said, "I will resign to the princess in a few days, and it should be okay to prepare more warm clothes when I go back." ”
At this time, Yue'er came in with a basin of water and put it on the shelf. Xie Xiaowan cleaned her hands and washed a towel to wipe Xu Jin's face. Yue'er stood aside, her mouth kept moving, Xie Xiaowan asked curiously, "Yue'er, what are you eating so fragrant?" ”
"Peanuts!" Yue'er said as she took a handful of peanuts from her pocket and threw them into her mouth.
Xie Xiaowan quipped: "You little hoof, you don't want to let Xiang Gong use that first aid method to save you, right?" ”
Yue'er said weakly: "Madam, people have always liked to eat peanuts, and the salty and crispy peanuts in the palace are delicious, I don't believe you can try them." ”
"You don't need to stuff a lot of it in your mouth!"
"People like it...... I like to eat like this! ”
Xu Jin laughed: "Fried peanuts are hot, and if you eat too much, you will easily get acne, so be careful to turn numb skin!" ”
Yue'er pouted and said: "No, master, you don't scare people, this kind of salty and crispy peanuts are eaten by people when they are young." ”
Xu Jin couldn't help but sweat secretly, no wonder this girl was only fifteen years old and so plump, and peanuts were high in protein and fat.
Xie Xiaowan washed Xu Jin's face, and Yue'er was about to take the water in the basin and pour it out, Xu Jin suddenly remembered something and ordered: "Yue'er, go back to the kitchen and get some rice vinegar, oil, and brine, and you also need a big iron pot, if you can't take it, let Erniu help you." ”
Xie Xiaowan and Yue'er were a little stunned, and asked curiously, "Xianggong, what do you want these things for?" ”
Xu Jin smiled mysteriously and said, "You'll know then." ”
……
On September 25, the weather was sunny and the autumn was high and cool.
Shizi Mansion, Zhu Houxi just finished practicing in the morning, sweating profusely back to the house, and saw his sister Yongfu and sister Yongchun playing backgammon, so he approached to "give advice" for his sister Yongchun, but Xiao Lori didn't appreciate it, covered her nose and said: "Second brother, you are sweating profusely, can you stay away from others." ”
The lord of Yongfu frowned and said, "Little slave, your clothes are all sweaty, go and change them, you have a cold carefully." ”
It is said that Xingwang Zhu Youqi only married two concubines in total, and there are no other concubines, which is really an outlier among the many princes of the Ming Dynasty. Concubine Jiang gave birth to a total of two boys and three girls, of which the eldest son and eldest daughter both died at an early age. Another concubine, Concubine Shu, had only one daughter, who also died at the age of eight.
Xingwang Zhu Youqi suffered the blow of losing his son and daughter repeatedly, and was very worried that his second son Zhu Houyu would not be able to raise him, so he gave Zhu Houyu a milk name called Little Slave, because there is a folk saying: It is easy to feed by being cheap.
Because of this, the lord of Yongfu has always called his younger brother a little slave, of course, at the moment, Zhu Houxi has not inherited the title of King Xing, if he attacks the prince, then he can no longer be called like this.
Zhu Houxi took the handkerchief from the eunuch's hand and wiped his sweat, and said nonchalantly: "It's okay, I'm in good health, so I don't catch a cold so easily." And Xu Jin also said that he couldn't take a shower immediately after exercising in the morning, and he had to wait for the blood circulation to calm down. ”
Yongfu didn't urge when she heard this, she didn't know what blood circulation was, but since Xu Gongzi said this, there must be a reason for him.
Little Lori Yongchun blinked her eyes and said, "People don't understand what blood circulation." Second brother, do you run circles in the yard every day, learning how to jump frogs or something? ”
Zhu Houxi rolled up his sleeves and flashed his arms and said, "Naturally, it works, do you think I'm stronger than before?" ”
Yongchun wrinkled his delicate little nose and said honestly: "I really can't see it!" ”
Yongfu Jun laughed out loud, nodded and said lightly: "It's not necessarily strong, but it looks really strong, and people are in good spirits." ”
Zhu Houxi was a little proud and dragged the new word: "Life lies in exercise, insist on a moderate amount of exercise every day, people are naturally healthy and energetic." Sister, you are weak, why don't you follow me for morning exercises every day in the future. ”
Yongfu blushed and shook his head, while Yongchun rolled his eyes cutely and said, "Second brother, it doesn't matter if you are a boy, if my sister and I run laps, push-ups, and learn frog jumping in the yard like you, we won't be angry with my mother." ”
Zhu Houxi patted his forehead and said, "That's right, then you should play rattan ball, oh, I remember Xu Jin said that there is an exercise that can be done in bed, what is it called...... Galai, I turned around and asked him. ”
Yongfu's heart moved, and he said lightly: "Oh, that Xu Gongzi knows a lot." ”
Zhu Houxi said sympathetically: "No, it's not much older than us, but he prefers to know everything, I really don't understand how his head grows." ”
The county lord of Yongfu smiled, she naturally heard about the content of Xu Jin's recent lectures to his younger brother, such as the sun is a big ball of fire, the earth is round, there are seven continents and four oceans in the world, and so on. The lord of Yongfu didn't know if Xu Jin's bizarre statements were true, but the fact that he could make them up shows the richness of his imagination.
Zhu Houxi suddenly said with a low mood: "It's a pity that Xu Jin and Sister Xiaowan will leave Beijing to take the exam the day after tomorrow, and I don't know when and what month I will see you again." ”
Zhu Houxi was kidnapped by King Ning and exiled to Shangrao County to beg, and was later rescued by Xie Xiaowan and Xu Jin, so he did not freeze to death on the streets. In those days of suffering and helplessness, it was Xie Xiaowan who gave him meticulous care and warmth. Because of this, although they have only been together for half a year, Zhu Houxi treats Xie Xiaowan as his own sister, and even more so than his own sister.
For Xu Jin, Zhu Houxi is not only grateful, but more of a brother-like worship. Under the subtle influence of Xu Jin, some of Zhu Houxi's values and ways of doing things are obviously leaning towards Xu Jin.
Yongfu glanced at his younger brother who was depressed, and couldn't help but feel a little surprised in his heart, and asked lightly: "Xu Gongzi didn't say that he wanted to teach you today?" ”
Zhu Houxi slapped his forehead and said excitedly: "I almost forgot this, Xu Jin said that he was going to do tricks today, I have to hurry!" After saying that, he quickly ran to bathe and change clothes.
Yongfu and Yongchun glanced at each other, and the latter was full of little stars, and said eagerly: "Sister, why don't we follow the second brother to see the excitement?" ”
The county lord of Yongfu hesitated suddenly, she was a little embarrassed to see Xu Jin, but she was very curious about what trick Xu Jin was going to make, after all, she was only a teenage girl.
