Chapter 181 The Forget-Me-Not Water for My Father
"Is everyone okay?" The Fourth Master repeated the guard's words with a frown, feeling as if he were dreaming.
He listened silently, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and immediately said: "Yes, someone did bring medicine today, and you drank a bowl of it, master, do you remember?"
The Fourth Master still had a vague memory, but the imperial doctors had given him too many medicines, and he was afraid of collapsing, so he drank whatever was given to him.
Later, he was distracted by other things and forgot to listen to the guard's reply.
The Fourth Master was eager to go home, and he rode back without stopping. Before he entered the yamen, he smelled the familiar aroma of food.
It’s... shredded chicken porridge.
The chicken porridge she made was always a little different from others, with a strong aroma of rice mixed with the fragrance of chicken. She always liked to add a few drops of sesame oil, which made the aroma even stronger and had a unique refreshing flavor.
For some reason, the Fourth Master felt a little dazed, and even felt a bit nostalgic for home.
The two guards at the gate were drinking porridge when they accidentally glanced outside and saw the Fourth Master. They were startled and immediately put down their bowls and stepped forward to salute: "Master!"
The Fourth Master entered the yamen and subconsciously looked at a large pot of porridge placed behind the red-painted gate. Apparently, the guards had just squatted there to eat, and two of them had half-eaten their bowls of porridge.
The guard saw the Fourth Master looking at him, his expression froze, and he immediately said, "Master, please punish us. There really is no one to take over the shift, and most of the people in the mansion are recuperating. The young lady couldn't bear to see us starving, so she sent someone to bring us food..."
A guard beside him immediately bumped into him and said, "Master, this is not the young lady's fault. We were negligent."
The other guard came back to his senses and said, "Yes." He was really confused. Why did he drag the girl into this? He became more and more nervous.
The Fourth Master just looked at them and said, "How are you?"
The guard was flattered and immediately clasped his fists and replied, "My lord, I am fine."
He added, "Thanks to the prescription you sent the young lady, the imperial physicians had already delivered the medicine when I felt a little dizzy earlier. After taking a bowl of medicine, my headache and fever were gone."
The Fourth Master had heard more than once that he had sent Jiu'er to deliver medicine.
He then calmly glanced at the guard beside him and asked, "What about you?"
The guard immediately clasped his fists and said, "I have always been in good health. I also took the medicine prescribed by the imperial physician and now I am fine."
The Fourth Master nodded and said, "Eat it while it's hot."
Then he strode into the government office, his steps imbued with a certain urgency.
The two guards behind him could not hide their excitement even after the Fourth Master left.
"Master, why are you so easy to talk to today? This is the first time I see you with such a pleasant expression."
"Yes, I think the master is also happy."
"Stop looking, the master has gone far away. He just told us to eat it while it's hot. Come quickly."
...
The Fourth Master strode quickly towards the room where the Ninth Master lived. Before he even entered the door, he ran into Doctor Liu and Doctor Liu who were carrying medicine jars.
The two of them immediately came over and saluted: "Fourth Prince (Master!)."
The Fourth Master nodded and glanced at the medicine in their hands: "...Is the medicine ready?"
The doctor in the Liu residence immediately replied, "Master, it is ready and has been sent to various places. We are here to deliver medicine to the Ninth and Tenth Masters. How are you feeling now? Let me take your pulse."
The Fourth Master had an idea in mind, so he said, "Let's go in and talk."
Inside the house.
The Fourth Master immediately saw the Ninth Master leaning on the bed.
He was unconscious when he left the house, but now he seems to have regained consciousness.
As soon as the Tenth Master saw the Fourth Master, he immediately stood up and said, "Fourth Brother, you're back? Ninth Brother is fine! Look, he can even drink his porridge by himself!"
Jiu Ye couldn't help rolling his eyes when he heard this. He didn't want to drink it by himself, but was there anyone feeding him? Was there? Huh?
At the moment, he just looked at the Fourth Master with a resentful look on his face: "Fourth Brother, you are finally back."
If I don’t come back, I’ll be bullied to death by this Old Ten!
The Fourth Master glanced at the Ninth Master and said, "Your complexion is still not good. Let the Imperial Physician take a look."
Doctor Liu immediately went over to take the patient's pulse.
Jiu Ye continued, "I don't feel too bad, I just feel a little dizzy and weak."
Turning around, he looked at the Fourth Master again: "How is Fourth Brother?"
The doctor of the Liu Mansion immediately stepped forward and said, "Master, may I take your pulse?"
The Fourth Master sat down.
After carefully taking the pulse, the doctor of the Liu Mansion finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Master, you are a little tired, and your spleen and stomach are a little weak, but I think you need to rest for a while and eat some food to recover. You are definitely not infected with the epidemic. Here is some preventive medicine, will you take a bowl of it?"
As Doctor Liu spoke, he handed the bowl of medicine to the Fourth Master, who drank it all in one gulp without even frowning.
Then he looked at Doctor Liu again.
Doctor Liu immediately clasped his fists and replied, "Master Jiu is fine. After taking this dose today, I think he will be fine." As he spoke, he brought over a bowl of medicine.
"Master Jiu, please drink it."
Jiu Ye was indeed hesitant to take the medicine bowl. "Leave it there. Drink it when it's cold." He immediately turned to look at Si Ye and said, "Fourth Brother, you haven't eaten yet, right? What is that thing Buyu is holding? How about putting it on the table?"
As he spoke, he actually stood up by himself and walked to the Fourth Master and sat down.
"Master, you haven't eaten for a day. How about having something?" Buyu advised, then opened his lunch box and put the food on his table.
"Oh, Little Fourth Sister-in-law just brought some of this to me and Ninth Brother, but it's a pity that it's not as much as Fourth Brother's, and it doesn't smell as good!"
When the Tenth Master took one look at the Fourth Master's jar full of meat and vegetables, his eyes suddenly widened.
"Little Fourth Sister-in-law is too partial!"
It was clearly just one dish, but his fourth brother's portion contained so many things that he couldn't even count them. At a glance, in addition to meat and vegetables, there seemed to be huge red prawns and tender meatballs.
Master Shi couldn't help but look at the tightly sealed bamboo tube again: "What is this?"
The Fourth Master was also a little curious and reached out to untie the silk thread tied to the bamboo tube.
I lifted the top layer of oil paper and opened the lid, and immediately the fragrance of fruits and melons hit me in the face.
"Is this... the taste of watermelon? Was it deliberately made into a drink?"
Master Shi couldn't help but blink his eyes, and suddenly felt that the bowl of food he had just eaten was not delicious anymore!
"Fourth brother, where on earth did you find Little Fourth Sister-in-law? I want to marry one like her too!"
The Tenth Master rarely envied others, but at this moment, he could not deny that he felt a little jealous.
The Fourth Master held the oil paper and stared at the naive smiling face on it, lost in thought.
On the oil paper, a few strokes depicted smiling eyes and a wide, grinning mouth. In the corner, a small line of words was written.
【Forget-me-not water for me. 】
The Fourth Master's expression finally relaxed a little, and he picked up the bamboo tube and drank it all in one gulp.
The cool and refreshing feeling flowed into the lungs, and my expression really brightened up.
"Where is she?"
