Chapter 178: Satisfy the sick Ninth Brother’s craving!
Warming the wine: "..."
"Hurry up, Little Fourth Sister-in-law, I've caught Ninth Brother now. Come here and treat him like a duck. Just force the medicine down his throat."
Duck……
Wen Jiu's mouth twitched: "Is it really possible?"
The Tenth Master nodded confidently: "Okay, I believe you!" As he spoke, he supported the Ninth Master up.
Wenjiu looked around and it seemed that he was the only living person who could help him.
The doctor from the Liu Mansion went out to help the imperial physician Liu, and no one knew when he would be back.
He rolled up his sleeves and took the medicine bowl: "Come on."
As soon as he took it, he walked to the table: "Hot, hot, hot!"
He placed the medicine bowl on the yellow pear wood table beside him, and blew on his hands while warming the wine.
Master Shi blinked twice: "I don't feel hot."
Wen Jiu glanced at his hands, which were covered with calluses at such a young age, and said silently: "Let's wait."
The two of them just stared at each other and waited for about a quarter of an hour.
Wenjiu realized that it was almost time, and just as he was about to give the medicine to Jiu Ye, he heard Jiu Ye muttering something.
"Hmm, put more chili in the pot..."
Wenjiu: "..." This guy is also a genius. He is so sick and still thinking about the pot?
The Tenth Master blinked twice, glanced at his Ninth Brother, then at the warm wine, and suddenly said, "Little Fourth Sister-in-law, Ninth Brother has been waiting for the pot for several days? He hasn't had a proper meal since Third Brother left. Look, Ninth Brother is so sick, please be kind and help him satisfy his craving."
Wen Jiu: "...If Master Shi wants to eat, just send someone over to tell us." Why bother using your ninth brother as an excuse? Your ninth brother is so sick now!
The Tenth Master curled his lips in grievance: "But Fourth Brother won't let me..."
Wen Jiu was silent for a moment, then said with a smile, "Fourth Master is worried about Tenth Master's stomach. Tenth Master, you should also know that eating spicy food for a long time is not good for your stomach. You always need to wait for a while."
"Fourth brother, is this for our own good?" The Tenth Master looked at Wen Jiu suspiciously.
Wen Jiu nodded confidently. "Of course. The Fourth Master isn't good with words, and he's reluctant to say much about matters concerning you two. But he did ask me to save some delicious food for you two." Historically, the Ninth and Tenth Masters were also pitiful individuals. The Ninth Master was naturally intelligent and a master of commerce. The Tenth Master, though reckless, was also a rare warrior. As a commander, he might lack the ability to coordinate the overall situation, but if he led an army into battle, he would surely be invincible. However, both of them met tragic ends.
The Qing princes all had their strengths. If the Nine Princes hadn't been fighting for the throne, stepping on corpses and pointing their guns outward, it's hard to say what would have happened later.
If the two of them could stand on the Fourth Master's side, that would be the best thing. Even if they didn't consider the overall situation, they would still be able to have a good ending.
After hearing what Wen Jiu said, the Tenth Master rubbed his forehead in surprise and asked, "Fourth Brother said that?"
Wen Jiu nodded. "Of course. As soon as the prescription came out, the Fourth Master immediately asked me to deliver the medicine here because he was worried about the health of the two masters. He didn't want to admit it, but in fact, he cared most about the brotherhood."
The Tenth Master seemed stunned for a moment, then continued, "I originally thought that Fourth Brother was tired of us and that he either beat us or scolded us every day..."
Wen Jiu blinked, "Tenth Master, what you said must have hurt Fourth Master. Fourth Master is thinking that since Tenth Master and Ninth Master are going out with Fourth Master to gain experience, they must not neglect their studies, so he is looking after them more closely. It would be a shame to let them fall behind in their studies when they return to the capital, and then be punished by Anda, right?"
The Tenth Master nodded vigorously: "I understand Fourth Brother's good intentions. He has made great progress recently."
Suddenly, her eyes lit up: "Little Fourth Sister-in-law, since Fourth Brother has said so, when can you bring the delicious food? Look at Ninth Brother, if he wakes up, he will definitely want to eat hot pot."
Wen Jiu: "...I'll go make some food later."
The Tenth Master's eyes lit up, and he roughly pulled up his sleeves, which were decorated with light bamboo patterns and rolled gold, and pried open the Ninth Master's mouth. "Come on, hurry up and feed Ninth Brother. Then, Sister-in-law Four should go out early to order the meals."
Wenjiu: “…” What’s wrong with feeling a little sympathetic to Jiu Ye?
When Jiu Ye was half asleep and half awake, he vaguely smelled a clear and warm fragrance.
He opened his eyes in confusion and saw a woman who looked like a fairy or a demon standing in front of him. Her appearance seemed familiar, but he couldn't place it...
I always think this face looks... a little delicious...
The next second, an extremely bitter taste penetrated into the mouth and went straight to the spleen and lungs. It was so bitter that I immediately started to struggle.
The gentle look of the woman in front of him disappeared in an instant. He subconsciously wanted to escape, but his whole body was tightly clamped.
The last thought in his head was that when he woke up, he would definitely beat to death the monster that had caused him so much suffering!
When Doctor Liu entered the room, he saw the Ninth Master wrapped tightly by the Tenth Master from afar.
There was also the man who held the medicine bowl and poured the medicine into Jiu Ye's mouth without any gentleness.
His beard couldn't help but tremble twice. How many years has it been since he saw such a rude way of serving people?
The one lying there is the prince of the royal family... I'm afraid only someone like you would dare to follow the Tenth Master and force-feed him medicine.
But he still said nothing. Instead, he poured two bowls of medicine to prevent the epidemic: "Master Shi, Miss, when you are done with your work, please use this medicine. Be careful not to catch the disease."
A bowl of medicine was finally drunk, and Wenjiu breathed a sigh of relief.
The Tenth Master stared at the Ninth Master and suddenly asked seriously, "Brother Nine, will you be fine after drinking this?"
The doctor from the Liu residence came over to take his pulse and said, "Nineth Master is in good health. I think he will wake up soon. With two more doses of medicine, he should be fine."
"That's great," the Tenth Master breathed a sigh of relief and immediately turned to look at Wen Jiu. "Little Fourth Sister-in-law, go get some food. We'll have a good meal when Ninth Brother wakes up."
Wen was a little amused, but he finally went out with Doctor Liu.
After all, they still had to prepare meals for everyone. It wasn't just the Ninth and Tenth Masters; so many people in the yamen had never eaten before. There were patients and elderly doctors, so this meal couldn't be delayed.
"Doctor, I'll go to the kitchen to take a look. I'll trouble you to take care of me and make some more medicine to send to the mansion."
Doctor Liu nodded immediately and said, "Don't worry, young lady. We have already sent people to deliver medicine to the prefect's residence, and we have also sent some to various charity organizations."
As he said this, he frowned slightly.
Wen Jiu turned his head to look at him: "But there is still difficulty? Is it because we don't have enough medicine?"
The doctor of the Liu Mansion nodded and said, "With so many people, the amount of medicine needed will definitely not be less. Fortunately, some herbs were transported from the capital to provide emergency support, but I don't know how long they can last."
Wen Jiu thought for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Does Doctor Liu have any medicinal seeds?"
The doctor of Liu Mansion was quite surprised: "I do have some seeds on me, but it's too late to plant them now."
Wen Jiu just smiled and said: "Give it a try. Plant it now. At least in a few months, we may have a harvest."
The doctor of the Liu Mansion was in a dilemma: "But most medicinal herbs grow in warm and humid places. It's snowing heavily now, so I'm afraid they won't be able to grow."
Wen Jiu only said: "If the court doctor has it, I will shamelessly ask you for some, that's the truth. If not, then there is nothing I can do."
