Chapter 28 Cried half the night under the quilt
"Sneeze!" Chu Liuzheng sneezed for the twenty-third time this morning.
"Did the girl catch a cold?" Chen Shouping asked with concern.
"No, maybe my family is talking about me." Chu Liuzheng handed the letter and a paper bag together, "I'm bothering my father-in-law with this letter from home. The paper bag contains Anxi Tieguanyin. Please give my father-in-law a try."
"Oh, how did the girl know that I am good at this?" Chen Shouping accepted it with a smile and put the two things into the bag he was carrying, "Don't worry, girl, I will definitely deliver this letter from home to the girl. If there is anything in the next two days, Reply to the letter and I will bring it to the girl too.”
"Thank you, father-in-law." Chu Liuzheng bowed his head and said, "It's getting late, so I won't delay my father-in-law's departure from the palace on errands."
Chen Shouping returned the salute and said with a smile: "Girl, walk slowly."
……
"A sneeze!!"
Walking on the palace road, Chu Liuzheng suddenly sneezed again.
Could it be that you really caught a cold?
She raised her hand to touch her forehead and cheeks. The temperature was normal.
[I don’t know how big brother is doing now, let me take a look. 】
【Uh-huh? Chu Shangming cried half the night under the quilt! 】
Chu Liuzheng's eyes widened in surprise. Why did he cry when he wasn't beaten or scolded? She quickly rummaged through the gossip.
[I haven't been bullied by Jin Yiwei. It's strange. Why are you crying? 】
[Is it possible that I was so happy to be released from prison that I cried for joy? 】
"A sneeze!!"
Another sneeze occurred, and Chu Liuzheng rubbed his nose, thinking that this might be a sign of a cold.
People who serve in front of the emperor cannot get sick easily. If the disease is passed on to the emperor, it will be a serious crime of losing one's head.
Chu Liuzheng turned around and went to Taiyuan Hospital.
After making Yinzi grab two pieces of medicine to treat typhoid fever, Chu Liuzheng waved to Xiao Xiazi and said, "I'll lend you a step to talk."
Xiao Xiazi put down the medicine pestle in his hand, stood up and went out with Chu Liuzheng.
Looking around, there was no one around.
Chu Liuzheng signaled Xiao Xiazi to come over, whispered a few words in his ear, and then quietly gave him two taels of silver.
"But I'm just running errands, how can I collect money from the girl?" Xiao Xiazi pushed back, "Isn't the girl having an affair with me?"
"We all know the rules of doing things in the palace. Who can we use if we don't have money?" Chu Liuzheng put the money in Xiao Xiazi's hand, "If you help me with things, I can't let you give me money."
Xiao Xiazi wanted to push it further, but Chu Liuzheng immediately said: "If you don't accept it, I won't dare to look for you again."
Xiao Xiazi immediately accepted it and promised: "Don't worry, girl, I will definitely carry out your instructions properly."
He glanced at the medicine bag that Chu Liuzheng was carrying and said with a smile: "It's not convenient to make medicine in Nongyunyuan. Girl, please give me the medicine. I'll give it to you when it's ready."
"You have a lot of work. I'm not on duty during the day. It doesn't take much effort to boil the medicine."
When Chu Liuzheng first entered the palace, he was assigned to the pharmacy because he knew a few words. He knew that the work in the pharmacy was not heavy, but it was cumbersome and tiring. How could he save time and let Xiao Xiazi make medicine for her? There was no need for Xiao Xiazi to get scolded.
Xiao Xiazi wanted to persist, but Chu Liuzheng changed the subject and asked, "Why isn't Qiaoru here?"
Xia Qiaoru had already returned to the pharmacy yesterday to work.
Although the wounds on her body are not completely healed, how can the eunuch in charge of the pharmacy really let a little palace maid who does odd jobs not do any work, but receive monthly money for ten days and a half in vain?
Being able to live in peace for three to five days was thanks to the Huaqing Palace.
Xiao Xiazi said: "Miss Qiaoru went to Huaqing Palace to deliver medicine. By the way, she kowtowed to Concubine Rong and thanked her for her great kindness." Chu Liuzheng sighed softly. Although he didn't like it, this was the rule of survival in the palace.
"I'm leaving first."
"Girl, walk slowly."
When Chu Liuzheng's back carrying the medicine was no longer visible, Xiao Xiazi withdrew his gaze and went back to work.
"What did Miss Liu Zheng say to you just now?" Little Yunzi, who was grinding medicine next to her, tilted her head and asked curiously.
Xiao Xiazi put the pieces of Poria cocos into the stone trough and said, "I just want to ask if Miss Qiaoru's injuries are healed. Please let me help take care of her."
"Miss Liu Zheng is nostalgic for old friendships."
Xiao Yunzi sighed: "For people like us, if we can be transferred to serve His Majesty at the Imperial Palace, it will be soaring into the sky. If someone else had already pretended not to recognize us, how could anyone greet us with such a smile?"
"Do you remember the little Fuzi who left our place? Isn't it because he was lucky that he was transferred to Xinning Palace to serve Shen Chongyi? Look at the way he came back last time, bossing us around. His eyes are not eyes, and his nose is not a nose. She looks like a villain and is far worse than Miss Liu Zheng.”
Xiao Xiazi still remembered that Chu Liuzheng taught him to be careful in his words and deeds. He did not follow Xiao Yunzi behind him, and only said: "Miss Liuzheng is naturally good. The hibiscus cake I shared with you last time was given by Miss Liuzheng." , you said it was delicious and asked me for it.”
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Little Yunzi smacked her lips, as if she was savoring the taste of hibiscus cake.
He rolled his eyes, touched Xiao Xiazi's waist with his elbow, and winked: "Next time you do something for Miss Liu Zheng, you can take me with you, and I will get a reward too."
"Fuck you!" Xiao Xiazi pushed him away, "When did I get something good and I didn't give it to you?"
The two are from the same hometown, and their relationship is closer than other people. In addition, whoever gets good things thinks about the other and usually helps each other out, but there is a bit of brotherhood in this cold palace.
Little Yunzi came over again and said with a smile: "I just want to help. Please help me talk to Miss Liu Zheng. As long as my little Yunzi is of use, she can just give me orders and let me go through fire and water."
He entered the palace at the age of seven, and many people had seen him. He always felt that the Liuzheng girl would be a promising person in the future.
He took advantage of the fact that people were not developed yet, so he curried favor first. If he really gained power, wouldn't he be able to follow the chickens and dogs to heaven?
He has spent enough time in this pharmacy!
Xiao Xiazi didn't think as much as Xiao Yunzi, so he just said: "Let's talk about it when we have a chance."
"If there is a chance, you have to keep your brother's affairs at heart." Xiao Yunzi said, "When the matter is settled, I will treat you to a drink."
"Okay, okay, keep it in mind." Seeing the eunuch in charge walking over, Xiao Xiazi quickly agreed and pushed Xiao Yunzi back.
Xiao Yunzi also saw the eunuch in charge, so she didn't dare to chat with Xiao Xiazi anymore and concentrated on doing her own thing.

In the evening, the sun sets in the west, creating a gorgeous sunset glow.
Yan Kang knocked on his groggy and aching head and walked into the Yulin Guardhouse. He raised his hand to say hello to his colleagues.
The colleague paused and asked him: "Are you drinking again?"
"I only drank a little bit last night." Yan Kang gestured with his hand.
My colleagues thought that you looked so hungover, how could you be a liar?
He pointed at the inner hall, "The boss is looking for you, go quickly."
Yan Kang was so frightened that he sobered up and asked, "What does the boss want from me?"
"Then ask the boss." The colleague was still rushing to hand over his shift, so he said goodbye and left.
Yan Kang walked into the inner hall with an uneasy mood, bowed his hands to the people sitting in front of him, "My subordinate Yan Kang pays my respects to you, sir."
