Ye Jin, who was sleeping in a daze, was awakened by the tempting aroma of rice, and when he opened his misty sleepy eyes, Ye Xuan next to him was still sleeping soundly, half-covering his head, revealing his messy hair, and his slight cute snoring sound came from under the quilt.

When he came to the kitchen, Qi Han, who had been bedridden for more than half a month, was busy in the kitchen, his back was relaxed, and he was still humming a song and was in a good mood, there was cooked porridge next to the fire, the heat was overflowing, the lid of the pot was opened, the steaming heat came to his face, and the white and fluffy steamed buns were also steamed, Ye Jin reached out to take one, but before he touched it, he was quickly withdrawn by the heat.

Qi Han turned around with two plates of freshly fried side dishes, all of which Ye Jin loved to eat.

"Be careful not to get hot, Xiao Xuan hasn't gotten up yet, it's time to eat, tell him to get up!"

"Are you all healed? How do you remember to cook? Ye Jin quickly stole a piece of vegetable and stuffed it into his mouth, burning it and inhaling.

Qi Han took a pair of chopsticks and handed it to her: "I'm fine, I've been eating the food delivered by the inn these days, you are not tired, Xiao Xuan is tired." ”

"Where's my dad?"

"Uncle Ye is in the yard, I don't know where to pick up a little yellow dog, and he is feeding him."

"Little Yellow...... Dog? The chopsticks in Ye Jin's hand fell to the ground with a "click".

When I was a child, I once had a little yellow dog at home, my mother brought it back from someone else's house to see the house, Ye Xiang liked it the most, named it Rhubarb, every winter when the snow was heavy, she and Rhubarb liked to chase in the snow, a person and a dog played happily in the yard, shivering from the cold and did not return to the house, the messy footprints on the white snow overlapped around the yard one by one, on the peach tree in the courtyard, the bare dead branches were full of white snowflakes, Ye Xiang laughed and hit the trunk, and the snowflakes fell downward, Hidden in the ground. Seeing Ye Jin come out, Ye Xiang would run over with a smile, shaking her hand to be coquettish with her, and Rhubarb also followed with his tail wagging his tail, shaking off the snow on his body, and affectionately surrounding the two sisters.

How good it was then, how good it would be if time could be turned back.

Qi Han stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Ye Jin's eyes, making her come back to her senses, holding her arm and solemnly assuring: "Miss Ye Xiang again, don't be sad, my injury has healed, I'll go out to inquire after dinner, don't worry, I will definitely get Ye Xiang back for you!" ”

Ye Jin withdrew his hand, took a step back to widen the distance, and changed the topic.

"By the way, I don't bother to ask you these days, why are you here again, why did your mother let you out?"

Qi Han said reluctantly: "I promised her, accompany you to find Ye Xiang, and go back to get married." ”

"Marriage?!"

This was not said by Ye Jin, but shouted by Yuqiu, who didn't know when she appeared at the door, she was so anxious that her face turned red, Qi Han looked at her inexplicably, and asked, "Why are you here?" ”

"I'm just here to tell Miss Ye that I found out your sister's whereabouts......"

Before Yuqiu finished speaking, Qi Han rushed to her in ecstasy, held her hand excitedly and asked again and again: "Where is it?" Where is she? ”

Yuqiu lowered her head and blushed: "Some people say that there is a girl surnamed Ye who often comes to buy rouge, and the people who are with her sometimes call her Miss Ye, sometimes call her Sister Xiang, I don't know if it is the Miss Ye Xiang you are looking for......"

Ye Jin rushed out of the door quickly, ran to the rouge shop that Yuqiu said, the ecstasy in her heart couldn't be suppressed, she ran too fast and too fast, and bumped into a few girls who were walking out at the door of the rouge shop, and fell into a mess, she hurriedly got up, and while apologizing, she pulled up the other party: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." ”

"Sister Xiang, are you okay?"

Ye Jin froze, slowly raised her head, the woman in front of her who was called Sister Xiang lowered her head and patted the dust on her body, stood up with the support of her companions, and felt Ye Jin's gaze, the woman raised her face and looked over, Ye Jin was so excited that she grabbed her hand, and was so happy that she almost cried: "Xiang, Xiang...... Child? ”

The woman looked at Ye Jin in confusion, stunned for a moment, her eyes turned red, and she shouted in disbelief: "Sister? ”

Ye Jin nodded desperately, tears fell, and she hugged her excitedly: "It's me, Xiang'er!" It's me! ”

Ye Xiang was stunned, suddenly pushed Ye Jin away, and cried aggrievedly: "Why did you come to me now!" Why don't you come early! ”

Ye Jin hurriedly wiped her tears and hugged her distressedly, thinking that she was a little girl who was helpless in the strange Qingyang City, and she didn't know how much she had suffered to survive, she felt extremely guilty.

"I'm sorry! It's me who is bad! I didn't take good care of you! I've been looking for you all these years, but I've searched through Qingyang City and haven't found your whereabouts, where have you been all these years? ”

Ye Xiang didn't speak, he cried for a while before he slowly calmed down, sobbed and wiped away his tears, and replied in a low voice: "I am a maid in Yunfu and serve the eldest lady Yun Zhen." ”

"What?!" Ye Jin immediately remembered Yun Zhen's difficulties that day, and felt distressed for a while: "I have also dealt with Miss Yun, and she is not a good person, you have suffered a lot as her maid, right?" ”

Ye Xiang glanced back at his companion behind him, and whispered: "Naturally, I have suffered some hardships and suffered some beatings, but I have long been used to it, but fortunately, Miss is also good to me now, and rarely embarrass me anymore." ”

"Come home with me, I brought my father to Qingyang City, if he knows that you are back, he will be very happy." Saying that, he picked up Ye Xiang and was about to leave.

"Wait, I'm out to buy rouge for Miss, don't delay Miss's affairs, you go back first, I'll look for you later, sister, I have a lot to say to you."

Seeing that Ye Xiang had a companion there, knowing that it was inconvenient for her to speak, Ye Jin nodded and didn't say anything more, only told her to come early.

When she got home, Ye Jin happily told Daddy Ye the news that she had found Ye Xiang, Daddy Ye was eating, and when he heard her words, he was so excited that he couldn't hold the bowl steadily.

Ye Jin held his rough hand: "Dad, don't get excited, I'm as happy as you, I'm going to buy some good wine and food, and get together with Xiang'er in the evening, she must have suffered a lot over the years, I want to take her out of Yunfu, and then our family will leave here and live a good life, okay?" ”

Father Ye opened his mouth excitedly, his lips trembled, as if he had a thousand words, but he couldn't say a word, and finally he could only close his eyes helplessly, and muddy tears flowed from his old eyes.

In the afternoon, Ye Xiang hadn't come yet, Ye Jin looked at the gate of the courtyard, Qi Han laughed at her: "You have been here more than a dozen times in the afternoon, she is now on an errand in Yunfu, and the master is not a good person, it is definitely not easy to come out, and it is normal to be late." ”

Ye Jin: "Qi Han, I seem to have forgotten to tell her our address......"

“.......”

"No, I have to go to Yunfu!"

Ye Jin hurriedly ran out, and saw Ye Xiang carrying a food box into the alley, and she happily greeted her: "Xiang'er! There you are! I forgot to tell you the address, how did you find it? ”

Ye Xiang was stunned for a moment, and smiled a little unnaturally: "Oh...... I asked, but it's not hard to find. As she spoke, she handed the food box in her hand to Ye Jin as if offering a treasure: "Sister, look at what I brought you, this is the crystal cake that Miss gave me, it is the imperial food in the palace, you must not have eaten it, try it." ”

"Okay." Ye Jin opened the food box, the sweet and glutinous aroma came to her nose, she picked up a piece and exclaimed: "It's so fragrant!" It looks good, and it looks like you're eating like this, it seems that Miss Yun treats you well, right? ”

Ye Xiang nodded absentmindedly, staring intently at Ye Jin's hand holding the crystal cake, Qi Han ran out of the house and happily grabbed Ye Xiang to look up and down.

"Xiao Xiang'er! I haven't seen you for so many years! You've become a great beauty! ”

"Brother Qi, you're still the same!" Ye Xiang smiled at him, and continued to turn his head and hold Ye Jin's hand affectionately and urged: "Sister, you can taste it quickly, I specially brought it to you!" ”

"Yes." Ye Jin was about to bite the crystal cake, but was snatched by Qi Han.

"Let me see what delicious food you brought to your sister, it's so fragrant!"

He quickly stuffed it into his mouth, chewing and nodding his head, full of praise: "En! It's delicious! What is this? ”

"Hey! This is my sister's! Why are you robbing! Ye Xiang suddenly became excited, and slapped Qi Han in the face uncontrollably.

Qi Han was stunned by this slap, and looked at Ye Xiang blankly with his face covered: "Didn't we often play like this when we were children......

Ye Xiang's anger did not subside, he blinked unnaturally, turned around and did not speak.

"I'm going to see the food, so I won't disturb your sisters' reunion." Qi Han put down the half-bitten crystal cake in his hand, turned around and went back to the kitchen.

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while, Ye Jin covered the food box and pulled Ye Xiang over: "What's wrong with you?" When you were a child, you and Qi Han were very close, have you forgotten? He's used to teasing you, he didn't mean to make you angry, don't be annoyed, he's worked very hard to help me find you all these years, why are you so unfamiliar with him? ”

Ye Xiang lowered his head and said guiltily: "I'm sorry, sister, I'm not used to it for a while, after all, I've been separated for too long, I ......"

"Okay, okay, I don't blame you, let's go eat first, Qi Han hasn't grown up in the past few years, and his cooking skills are really getting better and better, just taste it!"

Ye Jin pulled Ye Xiang into the house, looked around and didn't see Ye Lao's father, Qi Han said that he took Ye Xuan out to play, but until dinner, Ye Xiang was going back, and the grandfather and grandson had not come back yet.

"Dad is really, knowing that you are coming back, he still took the child out."

"It's okay, I'll see you in the future, although I'm not free in Yunfu, I'm still very close to you, and it's not difficult to meet."

As soon as Ye Xiang left, Daddy Ye came back with Ye Xuan, and when he heard Ye Xiang leave, he didn't have any expression, but nodded in a trance, Ye Jin took the food box brought by Ye Xiang and took out a piece of crystal cake for him: "This is the crystal cake she brought to us, saying that it was made by the imperial chef in the palace, Dad, you can taste it." ”

Ye Xuan jumped up: "It's so fragrant!" Mother! I'm going to eat it too! ”

When Father Ye, who was in a trance, heard this, he suddenly became excited, knocked off the pastry in Ye Jin's hand, and snatched the entire food box like crazy and smashed it on the ground, stepping on it fiercely, and he was unwilling to stop when he stepped on it beyond recognition.

"Daddy! Father! What happened to you?! What are you doing?! ”

Ye Jin was startled and wanted to grab him, but he couldn't hear anything as if he was crazy, and he overthrew her to the ground with great strength, then rushed into the room and slammed the door shut.

Ye Xuan on the side was frightened, and ran to help Ye Jin up: "Mother, what's wrong with grandpa?" ”

Ye Jin struggled to get up, stared at the mess on the ground, and glanced thoughtfully at Daddy Ye's closed door, and said to Ye Xuan with a somewhat solemn expression: "Where is your Uncle Qi?" Go and help my mother call him over. ”

Soon Ye Xuan ran back: "Uncle Qi is asleep, I can't wake him up." ”

Ye Jin rushed into Qi Han's room, pulled his quilt open, and saw him curled up in the quilt, his face was as pale as paper, his sweat-soaked hair was tightly attached to his forehead, she turned his body over, his chest was a large red, blood was still pouring out, peeling off his clothes, only to see that his wound that had almost healed was reopened for some reason, and the wound was ulcerated and blackened, and the blood was gushing.

Ye Jin took him to the medical hall, and as soon as he took the pulse, the doctor's brows furrowed, and his expression became grim, he rolled up his closed eyes to check, and then opened his lower lip, and then took out a needle and pierced the center of his eyebrows, the tip of the needle sank into the skin, and immediately a trace of black gas came out along the eye of the needle. Ye Jin's heart sank, and sure enough, what worried her happened, and the doctor said: "How can he have any signs of taking Ning Dai flower juice, if it is not too much in the mouth, it is extremely pure, otherwise it is impossible for the wound to rot like this in a short period of time." ”

"What is Ning Dai flower juice?"

"Ning Dai flower is a rare flower, there is a strange fragrance, sweet taste, mostly used in the dining room, it can be used to enhance the fragrance and sweeten, the dessert made is very sweet and delicious, but if the injured person like Qi Gongzi is not very mistakenly eaten, it will burn the wound, melt the texture, make the wound festering to the bone, and kill directly."

Ye Jin asked anxiously: "Then ...... him?"

"Fortunately, Qi Gongzi didn't eat much by mistake, so it won't be fatal, but this injury will have to be recuperated for a few more days."

"Is this poison?"

The doctor gave Qi Han the medicine and re-bandaged his wounds: "It's not poisonous, but the fusion with the original medicinal properties of Gongzi also produces a bit of toxicity, fortunately, it's not much, so the toxicity is not strong, Miss Ye, don't worry." As he spoke, he took out a pack of silver needles from the medicine box, and applied the needles all the way down Qi Han's chest and abdomen, wisps of black gas kept overflowing from the eye of the needle, and it was not until half a pillar of incense that the black gas slowly disappeared.

"I'll prescribe you another prescription, let him take it for three days, and then he will be fine, and the wound will slowly heal, and you must not touch those things again." The doctor took off the silver needles one by one, opened another pair of prescriptions and handed them to Ye Jin.

"Doctor." Ye Jin hesitated and took out a wrapped handkerchief from her arms and unfolded it, revealing the scrap cake she had collected from the ground, and handed it over: "Doctor Lao, take a look, you said it was Ning Dai flower juice in it." ”
