After Xiaocang responded, he circled in the sky and spread his wings towards the direction where the carriage disappeared. Under the shadow of the moon, a huge shadow passed over the roof tiles. Its speed was so fast that it made people Unable to catch its shadow, it flew higher and higher, soaring towards the sky that people can't see.

Pei Shu nodded in satisfaction, and walked back to the medical hall alone. After Xue Qingling left, only he and another night watchman were left in the medical hall. The door was closed.

Dim yellow candles were lit in the medical hall, and a long-accumulated medicinal fragrance flowed in the dark yellow candlelight. This medicinal fragrance has been deposited for many years, and it lasted for a long time. Makes people feel at peace.

After sleeping for a long time during the day, Pei Shu is very energetic now. He carried a jug of wine, walked to the backyard of the medical clinic, looked at the sweet-scented osmanthus tree not far away, tapped his toes lightly, and his whole body flew into the air. on the roof.

Supporting his chin with one hand, Pei Shu lay reclined on the roof tiles, unsealed the wine, and took a sip of the mellow wine. The stars are scattered in this black sky, and there is silence everywhere, only the occasional chirping of insects and birds. In the alleys and streets not far away, there are unextinguished lanterns hanging under the eaves, and the lanterns illuminate a halo. The candlelight trembled with the flow of the wind.

Pei Shu took another sip of the fine wine in his hand and savored it carefully. He felt that the fine wine in his mouth was full of fragrance and taste even sweeter

. Brewed by hand.

The young son of the Xue family, a rotten wood with no knowledge of medicine, is not only good at decocting medicines and pharmaceuticals, but also cooks excellent porridge that is unique in Lin'an City. fine wine...

Pei Shu was thinking in his heart while drinking, and unknowingly recalled the delicious food that he ate during the banquet just now. If you eat any other dishes, will you lose your taste?

Xue's house is not too far away from Xue's Medical Center. Xue Qingling sat in the carriage, holding a red flute, in a very happy mood, and occasionally hummed a few out-of-key nursery rhymes. Rubbing his ears, although his son's voice is nice, but the other party is indeed tone deaf.

The little tune that he hums seems to be tormenting your ears, especially what the other party is humming now is a well-known tune in Lin'an City. Xiaojia can also sing it, but he feels that if he listens to his son humming again After a few sounds, I can't remember what this minor tune was originally like.

The carriage quickly stopped at the gate of Xue's residence, without anyone shouting or helping, Xue Qingling, who was in a good mood, jumped out of the carriage like a slippery bird, the road at night could not be seen clearly, her legs When he landed, his right leg suddenly went limp, and he staggered all over his body, almost twisting his own foot. Seeing this, Xiao Jia who was following behind hurriedly reminded him: "Master, be careful at night." Xue Qingling stood

firm After tidying up his clothes, he turned his head and smiled triumphantly at Xiao Jia: "Ah, ah, your son is fine." At

this moment, a white shadow flew across the sky and landed on the roof tiles above the gate of Xue's mansion. Xue Qingling knocked on the closed door with her little genus, strode across the threshold and walked in. Doudou's small eyes under the dark night looked at the backs of the two who entered, spread their wings again, and plunged into the black sky middle.

Back at his home, the surroundings were quiet, not even a walking servant. Xue Qingling, who was still in a happy mood, began to feel that the atmosphere in the mansion was not right. When he was going to go to his room, he suddenly He found that on the path he had to pass, someone was sitting on the road waiting for him, and there was a row of maids and servants standing beside him.

Liu Yuzhi sat on an old man's chair in a leisurely manner, with her left leg resting on the knee of her right leg, her hands crossed aside, and she showed an unfriendly smile at Xue Qingling who came over.

Xue Qingling felt chills running up his back from his mother's laughter.

Xue Qingling quietly took a small step back, put her hands behind her back, and asked tentatively: "Mother, why are you sitting here?"

Liu Yuzhi smiled and her voice became cold: "Qingling, I have to ask Ask yourself, tell your mother honestly, what good thing did you do today?"

Xue Qingling's heart trembled, and she laughed: "...I didn't do anything, I just asked Brother Dong to help me get out of the pond at home. Caught two fish."

"What?" Liu Yuzhi exclaimed in surprise, the original two gentle eyebrows became ferocious, she gritted her teeth: "Really? You also stole your mother's fish? "

Meet his father, Xue Yu, a dog with virtue.

Xue Qingling: "..." He felt a little regretful in his heart. If he had known earlier, he would not have exposed himself.

"Mother, the fish you raise tastes really good, fresh and tender. Qing Ling passed by the pond and saw that the fish in it were growing so well, she couldn't help it... I got greedy, so... I caught two. "

Liu Yuzhi sneered a few times in her heart, "What's more, tell your mother clearly, what good things have you done?"

Xue Qingling was extremely guilty, and said in a small voice: "I also touched a handful of tea leaves by the way." "

Said Louder!"

"I just grabbed a handful of tea leaves."

"Did you grab a handful of tea leaves? You grabbed your mother's heart."

Xue Qingling said cheekily: "Mother, your heart is mine. ."

"Stop talking! Xue Qingling, return your mother's tea leaves honestly." Liu Yuzhi tried to take a few deep breaths before suppressing her anger. She just came home today and found that the tip of her heart was missing a big piece of tea. Kouzi, if the other party grabs it casually, it will cost hundreds of taels of silver, not to mention this kind of good tea, which is difficult to buy even if you have money.

Liu Yuzhi only gets a dozen or twenty taels of top-quality tea a year, sells half of it, and keeps the half for herself. She is a tea lover. Although she can't read books, Mrs. Xue is very enthusiastic about all kinds of elegant things about scholars. .

The top-grade Qifang green tea tastes very good, and Liu Yuzhi, the "tea slave", is willing to use "a small handful" only on important days.

With Xue Qingling's random grabbing, there were already countless "a handful", but it didn't hurt Liu Yuzhi's heart.

Xue Qingling lowered her head to look at her toes. He was wearing a pair of silver-white boots. The toes of the boots could not be seen clearly in such a night. The hem of the white clothes fluttered gently with the night wind. Only then mustered up the courage to say: "Mother, I'm not going back anymore..."

Liu Yuzhi's heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition came to her heart, and she couldn't help asking, "What did you do with your mother's tea?" "

I didn't do anything...just, just...cooking."

Liu Yuzhi only felt that her eyes were white and black, and she was really taken aback by what the other party said. She asked again in disbelief: "You What did you say?"

"... cooking."

Cooking?

Liu Yuzhi's expression was cracked, and the corners of her mouth twitched. She couldn't accept the fact, and after a while she burst out: "Okay, you, Xue Qingling! You chew peonies! You burn lutes and cook cranes! Ever since you were a child, mother taught you to waste things like this?"

"I didn't..."

"You didn't?" Liu Yuzhi was so angry that her breathing became short of breath, and her tone became more and more severe, with ridicule and outrageous anger: "Oh, I see, you are just trying to be mad at your mother, right?" "

I Really not..."

"Go! Go kneel in the ancestral hall for one night and reflect on yourself!"

Xue Qingling honestly knelt in the ancestral hall of the Xue family all night. Early the next morning, his eyes were all blue, and he Forced to pull himself together, with the support of Xiao Geng, he got into the carriage and went to the hospital.

Last night, she got angry and punished her most beloved youngest son to kneel in the ancestral hall all night. Liu Yuzhi regretted it at the time, but she couldn't bear it anymore. She tossed and turned all night and didn't sleep well. After calming down, she realized that those few days The two tea leaves are nothing but dead things, far inferior to the status of the youngest son in her heart.

Waking up early in the morning, Liu Yuzhi hurriedly sent someone to the ancestral hall to call him back to have a good rest. Thinking of the other party kneeling all night, her mother's heart ached so much, "Ask someone to send the young master back to the room and let him take a good rest. Rest."

"Ma'am... the young master went to the clinic again after kneeling all night."

"What? He went to the clinic?" Liu Yuzhi held the silver comb in her hand, and suddenly remembered the hurtful things she said yesterday She felt sour at the words, and a trace of struggle and confusion flashed in her usually shrewd eyes. She murmured, "Why is this child so stubborn?

" Bring two tea leaves to him." Poured another three liang from her precious top Qi Fang Bi tea, and Liu Yuzhi asked the little maid beside her to deliver it later.

Liu Yuzhi carefully wrapped the remaining Qifang Qingcha, put it in a big box and locked it. After taking off the key from the lock, she hid the key in a place that only she knew.

Liu Yuzhi sighed, feeling a sense of guilt floating in her heart, she thought to herself that since the child likes to use this tea, then let him go.

It's just that the matter of the hospital cannot be tolerated after all.

"This time, there are no doctors in the Chuntang Medical Center. It is already known to everyone in Lin'an City. How long can Qingling stick to the medical center like this?" All the

doctors that the other party could invite have been dispatched by Liu Yuzhi Sent away, Liu Yuzhi reckoned that the other party had nothing to do, so she was completely relieved. It just so happened that these two months were the busiest season for picking and selling tea. When she had time to go home, her youngest son was sticking to a medical clinic without a doctor. Apart from selling some porridge occasionally, she probably couldn't do anything... So Liu Yuzhi went out with peace of mind.

"Madam, several tea merchants are waiting for you. Get in the car."

Liu Yuzhi nodded, and was helped into the carriage. Before the carriage was about to drive, Liu Yuzhi lifted the curtain and hurriedly said:

"If the young master If you feel unwell, you must find a doctor to come and see him." "

And Cuiqiao, send someone to watch over the pond day and night, so don't let greedy people take my fish again."
