Seeking Happiness Chapter 17: Unintentional eavesdropping


     Being entrusted to be loyal to others.

   Shu Huan came out of the back room and went to the study to look for pens, inks, papers and inkstones. She thought very well. Gu Xiran asked her to find a proper maid to get the medicine, but she just came here for the first time and only stayed with the knowledge of the maid in this hospital. On the surface, I don’t even know who is right. Besides, in ancient times, the door is strict. It’s probably not easy for the maid to come up with the second door. You have to bother the little servants outside to run errands. After a few people’s hands, this prescription If it's not clear, it's better to do it yourself first.

   There is no good way, that is, copy the name and dosage of the prescription on a separate piece of paper, then pull out a medical book from the bookshelf, and randomly select six or seven common drug names to add, etc. When the ink dries, I cut the paper and put the name of the medicine on a small piece of paper. This confounded the prescription, and no one else would be able to see why.

   It’s complicated to say, but it’s very fast to do it. After all, she has been in lower case for a while, and the writing is not too individual, but it can be done neatly and clearly. It’s been a long time since she wrote with a brush. After copying the name of the medicine, I felt that my wrists were a little sore.

   After doing this, she called Liangchen to take the stack of paper with the name of the medicine to grab the medicine, and especially instructed her: "Let the pharmacy staff separate the medicine materials and write the name of the medicine outside."

   Liangchen felt strange, but he knew what the master had ordered and where he would ask, so he agreed and left.

   It’s easy to grab the medicine, but it’s troublesome to decoct the medicine. Shu Huan didn’t understand this. Waiting for a good day to come back, she called Huiyun for help. Anyway, Huiyun couldn’t read. She picked out the request from the large package of medicinal materials. The used ones were mixed together, and Huiyun started to fry them while she was watching the fire.

   There is something to do, but I don’t think the time is too difficult to pass. It’s a leisurely thing to talk to Huiyun while cooking the medicine, but when the medicine is half-decocted, Aunt Yun rushed to the small tea room and saw her Just said: "Mistress, you can just call me for this decoction, how can you do it yourself?"

   Shu Huan shook his head and said: "No, you can go and do something else."

   Aunt Yun saw that she was not willing to hold her hand, but she did not insist on it. She stood with her for a while, her face was a little sad, and she walked out.

   When Shu Huan decocted the medicine, the dregs of medicine were filtered out and sent to Gu Xiran, and then I opened the curtain and entered the main room. I heard faint and intermittent crying from the inside, and looked like Aunt Yun. Looking around, there is no one quietly, presumably the maids have been sent out, and I feel a little embarrassed.

   Just about to walk away, I heard Aunt Yun’s choked voice: “Since I entered the door of Gu’s house, I only hope to serve the second master for a long time. There is nothing else to think about... But now the second master does not wait to see me, I feel wronged, and I don’t know what I have done wrong... If it is true, please tell the second master clearly so that I can change it. If not, I only hope that the second master can treat me like before..."

   Her words were quickly interrupted by Gu Xiran's cold voice: "There is nothing wrong at all, don't think about it."

  Manny Yun Yan cried: "It's not that I think too much, it's that Erye doesn't have me anymore..."

   this this this!

  Eavesdropping on people’s words is bad behavior, let alone involving personal matters.

   Hearing this, Shu Huan couldn’t stand any longer, and hurriedly backed out with the medicine bowl. Seeing Liangchen and Jingjing were playing catching stones in the yard, they beckoned Jingjing to come over and put the medicine bowl in. In her hand, she whispered: "Wait for Aunt Yun to come out and then put the medicine in. If it is cold, warm it up before sending it."

   Meijing promised to carry the medicine bowl.

   Shu Huan wanted to find a place to stay for a while, but turned around and looked at the big yard. Dongxiang had a group of strange and terrifying pets. She didn't want to go in, and Xixiang was where Aunt Yun lived. She It was hard to get in, and then I realized that I had nowhere to go! I had no choice but to walk outside the gate, wanting to take a walk in the nearby garden.

  Good time to follow up: "Where does the mistress want to go? I'll be with you."

   Shu Huan refused: "No, I will walk by myself and come back."

   It's almost dusk.

   stepped out of the gate, a road with gravel mosaics stretched out in all directions, she didn’t know where she was going, she just took a random path, and after walking for a while, she saw a pavilion standing by the water and following the stone steps Go up and sit in the pavilion.

  The scenery outside the pavilion is very good. It looks like a lush green area. The adjacent water surface is like a small lake dug out by hand. The water is very clear. It is flowing slowly. It should be running water, and there are several lotus flowers growing. Among them, all the fragrance is sent from the evening breeze.

   Seeing this scene, Shu Huan felt a little itchy in her hands. She wanted to sketch two landscapes, but it was too troublesome to go back and find suitable paper and charcoal strips, so let's just take a look. But after sitting for a while, she couldn't stand it anymore. There were a lot of mosquitoes by the water and it was summer. She bit her bare hands with several red bumps. She guessed that Aunt Yun and Gu Xiran should have finished talking. Ready to go back.

   just turned around, and suddenly saw a young man in white standing there looking at her at the end of the road.

   This is the Gu family’s inner house. No strangers can come in. Shu Huan thinks that since Gu Xihe is ranked fourth, there must be an older brother above him. He might be this person, so I didn’t rush. Go back along the road.

   The boy didn't move, so he watched her approach.

   When the two were close enough, Shu Huan was able to see his face clearly. He was about the same age as Gu Xiran, with different eyebrows, but the outline of his face was still vaguely similar, so he tried to say hello: "San Ye?"

   The white-clothed boy bowed slightly: "Second Sister-in-law."

  The attitude is neither respectful nor negligent.

   seems to have guessed right, Shu Huan smiled at him slightly, but didn’t know what to say, and felt that the boy felt cold, like the color of his clothes, so he stopped slightly, just like He passed by.

   When she returned to Shengmei Pavilion, she didn't see Aunt Yun, but Xiangqian and two maids were preparing dinner.

   Gu Xiran was already sitting at the table, and when he saw her, he frowned slightly: "Where did you go?"

   Shu Huan did not answer, only asked him: "Did you drink the medicine?"

   Gu Xiran nodded, staring at the food on the table with a slightly depressed expression: "I'm full, my mouth is full of bitterness, I have no appetite to eat."

   is Shu Huan. I haven't seen the fish for many days. Suddenly I saw a bowl of chestnut stewed chicken on the table. I immediately moved my index finger and couldn't say anything. I sat down and picked up chopsticks to eat.

   Gu Xiran is a bit dissatisfied: "I said I have no appetite, you still eat so happy?"

   Shu Huan didn't lift her head, she said vaguely: "I have an appetite!"

   said, she took another large piece of chicken and ate it, completely disregarding the taste.

   Anyway, the original owner of this body is a poor girl, and she is not a big daughter. It's normal to be rude, she doesn't need to dress up.

   I didn’t think that Gu Xiran saw her eating sweetly~ IndoMTL.com~ I immediately stretched out chopsticks to grab it with jealousy, and when Shu Huan had finished eating a piece of chicken, when she was going to squeeze it, she found only chestnut and a piece of chicken **** in the bowl. Then I looked at Gu Xiran's bowl in a blink of an eye. Seeing that there was not much rice and the chicken was piled up full, I was immediately depressed, and muttered in a low voice: "Damn! You have to grab this from me!"

   Gu Xiran looked up at her: "What did you say?"

   lost her mouth and said swearing, Shu Huan lied and perfunctorily: "I said you have no appetite? Why do you steal it from me?"

   "I suddenly got an appetite."

  ……

   Seeing Shu Huan's speechless appearance, Gu Xiran couldn't help but smile, and pushed the bowl in front of her: "Would you like to share yours?"

   Delicacy delivered to your door, how can there be no reason not to? Shu Huan immediately stretched out the chopsticks to clamp it, but when the chopsticks were halfway out, she suddenly retracted back: "Forget it, you can eat it."

   Gu Xiran raised an eyebrow: "I haven't moved yet."

   Shu Huan shook her head, pinched a chestnut, and bowed her head to pick up rice.

   is not dirty!

   But I think it’s too close for them to grab something and eat like this!

   The most important thing is that all this happened naturally. Getting along with him is unconstrained and unprepared.

   Thinking about the words of Aunt Yun that she had overheard previously, she suddenly lost her appetite, and she was also secretly wary. She felt that if she got along with Gu Xiran like this, she would have a long-term relationship with Gu Xiran, which would be very bad. , Or keep a proper distance from him is the best policy.
