Chapter 128: Food Accumulation
"You are really strong. It usually takes me more than half an hour to chop it myself."
Liang Xiuzhu served him a bowl of cooked perilla porridge: "Try it, it's good for your health."
"No thanks." Sun Shuo clapped the sawdust on his hands, not very interested in the perilla porridge that smelled of medicine.
"Well..."
Liang Xiuzhu took his hand back and glanced at the porridge in the bowl with some embarrassment: "Well, I'm sorry. You helped me so much. I have nothing to treat you. So I'll kill a chicken for you later."
"Don't bother." Sun Shuo saw the embarrassment on his face and explained, "It's not a big deal. You're welcome. I'll be leaving in a while."
"Yes, you still have to go on duty." Liang Xiuzhu slapped his forehead and remembered, and quickly brought the porridge and walked into the house: "Then come quickly, my mother has always wanted to see you."
Jiang Wenyi regained consciousness after treatment. Liang Xiuzhu helped her up and fed her perilla porridge. She was still a little weak from not eating for a long time.
Seeing Liang Xiuzhu coming back, all the words she had to say turned into tears in the corners of her eyes. She hated the fate that played tricks on her.
She had clearly escaped from the Liang Mansion, which had tortured her for half her life. I finally got the chance to live my own life but then suffered so many unexpected disasters.
What made her even more sad was that her sick body prevented her from being of any help to Liang Xiuzhu. I can only drag him to death. This was the last thing she wanted to see.
"Mom, don't cry." Liang Xiuzhu reached out to wipe away the tears from her face, feeling mixed emotions.
Since childhood, the mother and son have depended on each other. The eldest lady of the Liang family is jealous and cunning. On the surface, she appears to be generous and virtuous, but secretly she has all kinds of tricks to torture people.
Therefore, Jiang Wenyi lost her father's favor soon after she entered the mansion, simply because of her low status, and later Liang Xiuzhu was also disliked by her father.
The two of them are nominally the masters in the mansion, but in reality they are not even as good as some servants.
Because of his low status and lack of favor. Under the snobbish eyes of the servants who flatter and flatter the powerful, they can only live a difficult life in the mansion.
Liang Xiuzhu was beautiful since childhood, but was bullied by other brothers. The servants also often spoke rudely.
In such an environment, although Liang Xiuzhu was born in a wealthy family, he has the temperament of a stock market expert. If not for this, he would definitely not be alive today.
Sun Shuo sat aside and looked at the woman on the bed. The woman's face was still very charming despite the years, and one could see the beauty she had when she was young. His features and eyebrows are exactly the same as Liang Xiuzhu's.
But now he is thin, pale and looks very sickly. The brocade quilt covering his body was so light that no rise or fall could be seen, like a wisp of ghost.
The woman's eyes met his, and Sun Shuo nodded politely.
"Mom, this is what I told you. My good brother Sun Shuo!"
Liang Xiuzhu saw her looking at Sun Shuo and quickly introduced: "It was he who asked someone to bring your letter to me last time. This time, it was also thanks to him that the doctor was able to treat you. He has also led troops to fight in battles and is now a favorite of His Majesty..."
Liang Xiuzhu's tone was very enthusiastic and he praised Sun Shuo to the skies. But he concealed the fact that he was deceived.
Sun Shuo sat aside and heard him treat him as a brother. I don't know why I became so anxious. He is a very straightforward person and his emotions are all shown on his face.
As Liang Xiuzhu was talking, he noticed that his face looked bad and his voice gradually became lower. I thought I was talking too much and made him unhappy.
"Is that so?" Jiang Wenyi looked at the serious and upright young man in front of her and was very satisfied: "This is the first time that our Xiaozhu has a friend, so I have always been curious and wanted to meet you."
"It's really extraordinary to meet you today. Xiaozhu thanks you for taking care of me." Jiang Wenyi said slowly, and her eyes showed that she was happy for Liang Xiuzhu to make friends.
After all, since childhood, Liang Xiuzhu has had few friends who were trapped in the deep courtyard with her.
Because of his appearance, he also doesn't like to interact with outsiders. It seems that Sun Shuo is a good person as he can make friends.
"Aunt, you're too kind." Sun Shuo heard that he was Liang Xiuzhu's first friend. The depression in my heart dissipated a little.
Sun Shuo sat on the horse before leaving. Looking at Liang Xiuzhu who had chased out to see him off, there was a look of worry between his eyebrows: "What are you going to do in the future?"
After a moment of silence, Liang Xiuzhu's face showed confusion. He kicked the gravel on the road and whispered, "Well, let's take it one step at a time. We'll see later."
"You are the young master of the Liang family, could it be that..." Sun Shuo was interrupted by Liang Xiuzhu before he could finish his words.
"Even if I die, I will never beg the people in the Liang Mansion for help. They are all rotten-hearted and despicable people."
After saying this, Liang Xiuzhu's chest heaved violently, and the hatred in his eyes was very strong. Knowing that he had said something he shouldn't have, Sun Shuo shut his mouth.
After a long while, when Liang Xiuzhu calmed down, Sun Shuo reached out and took out the banknotes from his arms and handed them to him: "Take these and buy medicinal herbs for your aunt."
Liang Xiuzhu looked at the banknote and refused to accept it: "No need, what you gave me is enough..."
Before he could finish his words, Sun Shuo folded the banknote and inserted it into his headband. He kicked the horse's belly hard and ran out.
Liang Xiuzhu was left standing there, holding the money and watching his receding figure, thinking: "Brother Sun Shuo is really a loyal man!"
It was already dark in the palace.
After dinner, Song Huaixi curled up on the soft couch in the imperial study. Waiting for Zhao Fangye to deal with the memorials and then hold him to sleep.
The weaving bureau made a few small gadgets and presented them to Song Huaixi to entertain him.
There are cute little ceramic animals, some exquisitely crafted porcelain whistles, and a Lu Ban lock.
Song Huaixi liked them all very much and placed the ceramic pigs, ceramic puppies, etc. in a small row on Zhao Fangye's desk. It looks very naive and doesn't match the serious and neat table at all.
If the ministers who came to discuss the matter saw this, they would definitely burst out laughing. It turned out that such a childish little thing was placed on the desk of the emperor.
But Zhao Fangye condoned his behavior that undermined the emperor's dignity, and even left a small space for his little animals to avoid squeezing them off the table.
Song Huaixi read the book out of boredom for a while. There were many words in the book that he didn't recognize. It looks very strenuous. Then he put the book aside, turned over and sat up, holding his stomach and said, "Zhao Fangye, I want to eat milk dates."
Zhao Fangye wrote an annotation on the memorial without even looking up: "Not allowed."
Zhao Fangye watched him eat today's dinner and saw that he ate a lot.
The reason I want snacks now is definitely not because I am hungry. Just greedy. If you eat in the middle of the night when it is close to bedtime, you will definitely have indigestion.
"I'll take you to bed after I finish reading these." Zhao Fangye looked up at him and saw that he was pouting, obviously not very happy.
"Is it not okay to just eat one or two?" Song Huaixi tried to bargain.
Zhao Fangye said simply: "No."
Hearing his words, Song Huaixi wilted like an eggplant hit by frost. Lying on the couch, picking at his fingers out of boredom.
It’s not that Zhao Fangye is harsh, it’s just that Song Huaixi has always had no control over his snacks.
That's why we have such strict requirements. Seeing that he was unhappy, Zhao Fangye still had memorials to read, so he had to pick up the Lu Ban lock beside him to disrupt them.
"If you can restore this before I finish reviewing the memorial, I will allow you to eat milk dates."
"real?"
Song Huaixi immediately stood up and walked over to take the Luban lock. Sit aside and study hard.
Zhao Fangye looked at his focused look and curled his lips slightly. He picked up the memorial in his hand and read it quickly.
After tinkering with it for a while, Song Huaixi racked his brains but still couldn't restore the opened Lu Ban lock. Just when he was about to try again, Zhao Fangye stood up.
"It's time." Zhao Fangye reached out and took the Luban lock from his hand, then picked him up by his knees and said, "Go back to sleep."
"Ah? How come so soon?" Song Huaixi was a little disappointed that she didn't get to eat the milk dates. She looked up at him and blinked her big eyes: "Is it really not allowed?"
"That's fine, but Huaixi, are you sure you want to eat it?" Zhao Fangye carried him to the bedroom with a teasing look in his eyes.
"Yes."
"good."
In the end, Zhao Fangye fulfilled his promise. When the swinging bed curtains occasionally stop at midnight.
Zhao Fangye pinched the milk date with his slender fingers and fed it into Song Huaixi's mouth with a smile: "This way you won't have indigestion, right? Huaixi."
