42 Chapter 42 Jade Ice Cream
◎ Yunhe's technique is very gentle◎
This morning, under the willow tree in the main courtyard of Yuqing, Yuliu thought that Yunhe was always careful, so she deliberately brushed away the flying poplar catkins that landed on her hands.
However, at this moment, Yuliu lowered her eyes to look at the back of her hand. On the skin that was once crystal clear, a layer of light pink marks had appeared between the horns and the fingers.
It's not itchy, nor painful, just a little bit hot.
That's probably why Yuliu never noticed it, and didn't even think about it as an early symptom of allergy to flying poplar catkins.
Yuliu looked at the small patch of light pink and felt that it was extremely ugly and unsightly. She subconsciously wanted to cover the mark with an embroidered handkerchief.
"It's just a touch of peach blossom red, no need to hide it." Yun He glanced at Yu Liu's slightly furrowed brows and guessed what the girl was thinking. He comforted her promptly, "You found it just in time. Wait until the medicine is ground and apply a cold compress. Don't worry too much."
Yuliu originally thought that this touch of powder was like a drop of bright red blood left on the ice, spreading a light crimson color in the flowing snow water.
Abrupt and conspicuous.
But Yunhe called it a touch of peach red, and Yuliu suddenly became much more relaxed. Fortunately, it didn't hurt or itch now, so she withdrew her hand normally.
At this moment, Master Chen popped his head out from behind Yun He, pricked up his ears, and asked, "What's wrong? Miss Su, are you allergic? Where are you allergic to? Is it serious? Is it serious?"
Although Yuliu knew that Master Chen cared about her, she couldn't help but feel that Master Chen's behavior was a bit pretentious and exaggerated. She smiled habitually, but before she could answer, Yunhe frowned very briefly, then turned around and took another step towards Master Chen.
Yuliu felt that Yunhe had only taken one step.
However, Master Chen felt that this step was unreasonably oppressive.
"Master Chen, are you worried about Miss Yu?" Yun He raised the corner of his mouth, as if smiling, but his eyes were clear and slightly cold. He said softly, "Thank you very much. So, Master Chen, please lead the way. Let's go get the medicine quickly."
"……Too."
Master Chen responded to Yun He's every request, and acted very easy to talk to: "Let's go, this stage is singing every day, and we will invite Senior Brother and Miss Yu to listen to a song another day."
·
I only found out today that Tongji Hall is blooming behind the building where the spring breeze blows.
Opposite the entrance of the hall was a long row of wooden herbal medicine cabinets that were as high as the wall. Doctors in long robes carrying medicine boxes came and went in a hurry, looking tired and exhausted.
Behind the counter, a little medicine boy with two buns on his head kept taking the prescriptions from the master, weighing and assembling the medicine bags, then lifting the curtain and going to the backyard to grind the medicine or cook the herbs.
The small meeting room was still quiet, but the air was filled with a faint herbal scent.
Moreover, it was not the kind of vibrant and fresh herbal scent that Yuliu liked.
It has a dry and bitter taste.
Whenever the little medicine boy lifted the curtain leading to the backyard, the dry and bitter smell would become more intense.
Master Chen personally handed over the prescription, and the old master with a white beard took the prescription and lifted the curtain to grind the medicinal materials.
Yuliu wrinkled her nose slightly, and was quite displeased with the smell of medicine wafting from afar. Only when Yunhe spread an embroidered handkerchief on the wooden table and motioned for Yuliu to sit down did she reluctantly place her allergic right hand on the soft silk and stretch it out flat.
However, perhaps because it was Master Chen of Chunfengfulan who personally delivered the prescription for Yunhe and Yuliu, the ground and prepared medicine was delivered particularly quickly.
The three of them sat alone in a small room in the meeting hall. They had not yet finished their pot of warm tea when the white-bearded master who had just taken the prescription brought them two glazed jade porcelain bottles on a small mahogany tray.
One is a gourd bottle with a wide belly and a smooth body, just like a white jade gourd that has been peeled and moistened;
The other one has a long neck, a narrow mouth, a round belly and a slanted foot. On the white jade bottle, tall pine and bamboo are painted with blue glaze.
Yun He thanked him and took out the long-necked, bamboo medicine bottle with two fingers. He uncorked it and sniffed it. Then he looked up at Yu Liu and explained, "This is Peach Red Jade Ice Cream. It calms allergies, relieves pain and reduces swelling. It's very effective."
Yunhe deliberately pointed the bottle mouth towards Yuliu so that she could see the ice cream inside the bottle. The color was like white jade falling snow, and the texture was crystal clear. It looked like solidified ointment, but also like flowing hydrogel.
Yuliu blinked and stretched out her other hand, palm facing up.
——She wanted Yunhe to put the pine and bamboo medicine bottle in her hands.
Yun He raised his eyelashes and glanced at Yu Liu. He placed the bottle cork upside down on the table, then tilted his wrist slightly and poured the Yuxue ointment onto the fingertips of his right hand. He then handed the bottle to Yu Liu and said gently, "You are allergic to your right hand, which is your dominant one. Your left hand is inconvenient. Let me help you apply the ointment."
Yuliu: “…”
In fact, Zuo Yuliu only has a small allergy on his hand. It is actually very convenient to apply the medicine with either the left or right hand.
Yuliu originally wanted to refuse.
But as early as when Yunhe placed the pine and bamboo medicine bottle in her palm, she habitually held the bottle.
He put the medicine in one hand and held the medicine bottle in the other.
Yuliu understood Yunhe's arrangements clearly, so she could only behave herself and say no more.
Yunhe's technique is very gentle.
His knuckles were slender and flexible. He rubbed the Peach Red Jade Ice Cream along the gaps between her fingers and the protruding finger bones, applying it evenly to the red and allergic areas.
The spring light outside the window falls on my skin, evenly rubbed with the white glue, making it appear translucent and luminous, white with a hint of pink. The texture of the glue paste is like snow melting on a barren ground, clear and cool.
Yuliu's shoulders and neck, which made her feel comfortable, relaxed.
If it weren't for Master Chen standing by, staring intently at Yun He's movements, Yu Liu felt that she could relax even more.
Master Chen had never heard of this senior brother personally applying medicine to anyone in the Poison Doctor Valley. Now that he had the opportunity to see him, he naturally wanted to take this opportunity to learn the finger techniques from him up close.
Yunhe's movements were gentle but not slow, and she quickly applied a layer of shiny ointment to the allergic area of Meifen.
But Yunhe stretched out his fingertips to Yuliu's hand holding the pine and bamboo medicine bottle.
Yuliu understood what he meant, and with a slight movement of his wrist, he tilted the bottle and added a little more ointment on Yunhe's fingertips which were soaked with ointment.
"Oh, Big Brother." Master Chen watched Yun He finish applying the ointment once and then reapply it. He asked curiously, "You rubbed the ointment in circles around the edges of your fingers to prevent the allergy from spreading. Is that a precaution?"
Yun He's agile movements suddenly paused.
Yuliu was also stunned by what Master Chen said, and the fingertips resting on Yunhe's palm suddenly curled up.
The girl bent her knuckles and rubbed Yun He's warm palm slowly and carefully where Master Shen couldn't see.
Beneath the clear and cool ointment, a wave of heat suddenly appeared.
The two of them paused in unison and subconsciously looked up at each other.
Their eyes met.
The two of them blinked in unison, but then looked away at the same time, as if nothing had happened, and continued to apply the medicine with secret thoughts in their minds.
There is a beating drum in the hearts of the elms and willows.
Yunhe's fingertips seemed to be no longer so steady.
But Yun He's face remained calm, his Adam's apple rolled slightly, and he uttered "hmm", which was considered a response.
Master Chen was confused and felt that Yun He's attitude was a little cold, but he still tried to understand it carefully.
right.
The eldest brother must be afraid that the allergic symptoms will spread, so he takes precautions in advance. After applying it once, he applies it again.
Such a meticulous mind, worthy of being the eldest brother of the Poison Doctor Valley!
Master Chen took note of this very carefully and was about to get up to find a waiter to serve him writing and writing when he suddenly felt a familiar figure appear at the door.
Master Shen narrowed his eyes, looked carefully for a while, and asked, "Miss Su, is the one standing at the door your personal maid?"
"Um?"
Yuliu's gaze lingered on Yunhe's knuckles for a moment after hearing the words, and then she looked up and looked through the unlocked door of the small meeting room towards the main entrance outside the hall.
Yun He had his back to the door, and Yu Liu was concentrating on watching Yun He apply the Peach Blossom Jade Ice Cream on her, so in the room, only Lord Chen noticed this.
"Huh?" Yu Liu was slightly surprised, "It really is Fang Yue."
"Look at her eager look, it seems like she has something to say." Master Shen understood: "Should we call her in?"
Of course Yuliu nodded.
Master Chen waved over a waiter, pointed outside the door, and asked the waiter to lead Fangyue to the small room in the meeting hall.
By the time Fangyue came in, Yunhe had already carefully reapplied the medicine a second time, and had already put the cork back on the bottle, and put it in together with another white jade gourd medicine bottle.
Yuliu's hands, freshly smeared with Peach Red Jade Ice Cream, rested gently on the handkerchief, her fingertips stretched and relaxed. "Fangyue? Didn't you go to Shengyun Pavilion? How did you find yourself here?"
"I was originally going to Shengyun Pavilion." Fangyue stood beside Yuliu and answered honestly, "But I met Lord Jiang."
"Jiang Jingmo, Lord Jiang?" Yuliu tapped the wooden table twice with her fingertips through the embroidered handkerchief. "I even sent him a portion of food, so why did he come to Chunfeng Fulan in person?"
"He ate and said the wine was fragrant and the meat was plentiful..." Fang Yue paused for a moment, remembering Lord Jiang's greasy face. "He said that the Fourth Prince and his wife went to Yuqing Courtyard at noon. They said she missed her younger sister and wanted to invite you to join them for the Xiao Kingdom Lantern Festival. We were both at the Spring Breeze Restaurant at the time, so Lord Jiang came here specifically to pass on the message on behalf of the Fourth Prince's wife."
"Girl, are you going?"
"Sister, invite me?"
Upon hearing this, Yuliu tilted her head slightly.
Seemingly hesitant.
However, the fact is that Yuliu suddenly remembered something very, very important.
Although she knew the plot of the original work, due to her unfamiliarity with Xiao Guomin's style, she sometimes couldn't quite relate to certain plots.
Before the Flower Festival Palace Banquet, the people of Xiao State had the custom of holding a night lantern festival.
The fact that the Fourth Prince's wife was nearly poisoned aroused the Fourth Prince's pity, so he finally released her from house arrest. The two of them agreed to disguise themselves as an ordinary couple and join in the night lantern festival where everyone was celebrating.
This is supposed to be a happy event.
If the Fourth Prince's wife had not chosen to cruelly escape from her partner who disliked the child in her womb on such a joyous night.
