House raided
He Yingchun went to read the recipe. Recently, Wen Jingzhao had some unknown serious illness and liked to use the recipe as a sleep aid. She cursed inwardly and bowed her head quickly.
Ji Rulan walked past her, and He Yingchun hurriedly walked in the opposite direction.
"Wait."
Ji Rulan approached, lowered her head and looked at him carefully, "It's you..."
In just a few words, He Yingchun actually heard a sense of falling into my hands.
I don’t know how she offended Miss Ji San and why she had to target her, a cook.
"Oh, Ting'er, Lian'er, where is my handkerchief? How come it suddenly disappeared? That was given to me by my mother on my birthday." Ji Rulan suddenly said,
"Miss, did you accidentally fall on the road just now?" Ting'er quickly replied.
"It looks like it fell by the lake. Did it get blown onto the plum tree over there?" Ji Rulan thought for a moment and said with certainty, "It must be over there."
"You, come with us and look for it." Ji Rulan pointed at He Yingchun.
Ting'er also understood, and she and another maid pulled He Yingchun on both sides and said they were going to the lake to find a handkerchief.
He Yingchun was held by two people and unable to move. They didn't want her to help find a handkerchief, they wanted to throw her into the lake.
She pretended to agree, "Yes, I will go look for it right away. Sisters, please relax. I think there seems to be something over there."
Ji Rulan followed behind to see what tricks she could come up with. "Let her watch."
A few people walked to the lake, the lake was frozen, and the cold air hit them.
"Miss Ji, there seems to be no handkerchief here. Maybe it fell on the other side of the pavilion?" He Yingchun said to Ji Rulan with her head down, but she was thinking about how to leave here.
"Is that so? Never mind. Then go over there and pick some plum branches for me. Ting'er and Lian'er, you go over there." Ji Rulan pointed to the plum tree by the lake.
"yes."
He Yingchun was extremely careful, afraid that she would slip into the lake if she wasn't careful. She just wanted to deal with the present and finish picking the fruits, while also keeping an eye on herself to avoid being pushed in.
When Su He sees that she hasn't gone there, she will probably send someone to look for her.
Who knew that he was not paying attention and tripped and fell into the lake.
The ice by the lake was already thin, and when she fell in, it broke, creating a big hole. The freezing water poured in, and she immediately shivered with cold.
The ice was slippery, so she immediately rushed to the shore. However, things did not go as she wished. She got a cramp in her leg and failed after several attempts to paddle. Her nasal cavity was slowly filled with cold water.
Ji Rulan's face gradually blurred. "Pull her up."
"Miss, this ice is too slippery. I can't hold on."
Ji Rulan panicked and decided not to let anyone die in the lake.
"What are you doing?" Wen Jingzhao's voice came from not far away. Ji Rulan's body stiffened and she pushed the maid fiercely, "Quick! Pull her up!"
He Yingchun made one last effort and shouted "Help!" but her voice was drowned out by the splash.
Wen Jingzhao's face changed, he ran over, pulled off his cloak with one hand, and jumped into the lake. The splashing water hit Ji Rulan's face, and she took a big step back in fright.
"Brother Jingzhao! Brother Jingzhao!"
Wen Jingzhao hadn't been in the water for many years and he had a deep fear of water. The lake was very deep, and He Yingchun had not yet sunk to the bottom. Her limbs were still flapping and bubbles were coming out of her mouth.
"Ding Dong, your food system is online! Ding Dong, it shows that you are near death. Would you like to exchange for spiritual medicine?"
"……ah"
"Aoou, your points are insufficient, and it shows that you are near death. Would you like to exchange them for spiritual spring water?"
"The system has entered self-rescue mode. You have redeemed the spiritual spring water. Your points are -5."
In a blur, the jade pendant on his chest floated out from his clothes, flashed before his eyes, and turned into an extremely bright beam of light, rushing straight towards He Yingchun's chest.
In the blink of an eye, it disappeared again, as if it was just an illusion.
It was not an illusion. He Yingchun touched her chest in front of the mirror and saw a lightning-like mark faintly visible on it. She asked Xiaozhi, but Xiaozhi couldn't see it.
Xiaozhi touched her forehead and asked, "Sister Yingchun, are you having a fever again?"
"It's okay, Sister Yingchun. The medicine the doctor prescribed is really effective. You didn't even have a fever this time. It's just that the young master is not feeling well. Sister Suhe said he seemed to have had a fever several times."
He Yingchun touched the lightning pattern, thinking deeply. It was not the medicine that had miraculous effects, but the system. As long as she was not killed, she would say that traveling through time required a golden finger.
She closed her eyes and touched the lightning pattern. Suddenly, a page flashed before her eyes. It looked very much like the 4399 mini-game page. When she clicked it, there was only a darkened spiritual spring water.
Recalling the voice, she thought that it must be the spiritual spring water that saved her.
There are many other contents in the mall. Currently, she can only unlock elixirs, spiritual spring water, and iron pots, with a score of -5 points.
She figured out after a rough thought that she should earn points by making delicious food, and the points earned can be redeemed and unlocked content in the mall.
Phew, although this fall into the water almost cost her her life, she also awakened her golden finger, and her plan to get rich can be put on the agenda.
He Yingchun suddenly touched her chest. The jade pendant that Wen Jingzhao had given her was gone. Could it be...
"Sister Yingchun, are you hungry? Let me get you a bowl of porridge." Xiaozhi ran out and brought back a bowl of porridge.
He Yingchun tried it, and didn't know if it was because the porridge was made by someone else, the system didn't recognize it and she couldn't get points. She took a sip of the porridge. Actually, she wasn't hungry yet. She even felt extra energetic now.
It's probably the effect of the spiritual spring water.
"Xiaozhi, you just said that the young master hasn't woken up yet?"
Xiaozhi nodded. "Yes, the young master saved you, and you got a fever after you went back. You haven't even gotten out of bed yet. People in the mansion say that you are in the young master's good graces. Maybe he will take you in when he wakes up."
He Yingchun felt that Wen Jingzhao saved her largely because of the former general's wife. The former general's wife died by drowning, leaving her with psychological trauma, and she probably didn't want anyone else to die by drowning.
Although it may have nothing to do with her personally, Wen Jingzhao has saved her twice including this time.
Su He had also come once and nodded when she saw that she looked okay. "You should rest first. Madam is very angry. All the servants present that day were punished with sticks and locked up. Miss Ji was also confined to the house. Everything has to wait until the young master wakes up."
According to Su He, the lady probably thought that He Yingchun was the one the young master liked, so she specially arranged a room for her close to Wen Jingzhao and sent someone to serve her.
She was getting restless, so she went into the east kitchen before dawn the next day. Mom greeted her and asked, "Why don't you take a rest?"
He Yingchun waved her hand and said it was okay.
Her mother secretly told her that if she kept her a while longer, maybe the young master would take her in, and then she wouldn't have to suffer as a servant anymore.
He Yingchun smiled and quickened her movements. "I'll make some light meals for the young master and send them over."
Mom nodded and said, "Yes, that's it."
He Yingchun made some porridge and some side dishes. There were few people in the kitchen at this time, so she went to the corner and tried several ways to get points.
"Ding ding, a bowl of porridge with good color, aroma and taste, 1 point, please keep up the good work."
He Yingchun did not give up and made a pot of porridge, but the whole pot of porridge was only rated 3 points in the end. There must be an upper limit. She tried several kinds of side dishes before reaching ten points. Including yesterday's -5, the total points were 5.
She carried the food box and walked quickly to Wen Jingzhao's room.
Wen Jingzhao was very ill. When she walked in, the smell of medicine was very strong, as if it was trying to marinate her.
There were many people serving in the room. When Su He saw her coming, she asked, "Why are you here?"
He Yingchun said, "I made some food to thank you, young master."
Su He opened it and took a look. It looked good with fried tofu, pickled mustard greens and green cucumbers.
Su He sighed, "Master can't eat. If he eats, he will vomit."
When the maids learned that He Yingchun was the person saved by the young master, they all had different expressions, but they all looked at her secretly, probably wanting to see what kind of person had won the young master's favor.
Su He told her to put down the food box, "Go back now. You've just got to get better. Don't catch a cold."
He Yingchun was holding a food box. "Can I go in and see the young master?"
Su He hesitated for a while, "Come in."
In just two days, Wen Jingzhao's face became haggard, his eyes were closed and his brows were furrowed, and he was not quite clear-headed.
He Yingchun was shocked. How could this happen?
Su He sighed, "The doctor has come to see him, but the young master had a history of illness, and this time the cold has entered his body. I think he will need to recuperate for a long time."
He Yingchun nodded. In ancient times, a slight cold could be fatal, not to mention that he was going into the icy lake to save people. If it weren't for the spiritual spring water, she would probably be killed too.
"Then I'll feed the young master some porridge and let him eat something."
Su He nodded, "Feed him first, I'll go get the medicine."
He Yingchun first tried to feed him porridge with a spoon, but he closed his mouth and refused to swallow it.
Then the original idea of putting spiritual spring water into the porridge is not feasible.
He Yingchun thought about it, she held Wen Jingzhao's mouth with one hand, put her index finger into his mouth, and let the spiritual spring water flow down his throat.
Who knew that Wen Jingzhao sucked so hard, as if a man in the desert had found an oasis and started sucking.
The warm touch made her stunned. Even if a beauty is sick, she is still a sick beauty, she sighed secretly.
This water really works wonders, because Wen Jingzhao opened his eyes.
She froze for a second, then suddenly pulled out her fingers and replaced them with a spoon.
"Master...Master, have some porridge." She felt guilty, as if she had just violated someone else's rules.
Wen Jingzhao stared at her for two seconds and said, "I can do it myself."
He took the porridge and drank it spoonful by spoonful, staring at her without blinking.
He Yingchun clenched her fingers. When did he wake up? Could he have discovered something? What if he was caught as a monster? Cold sweat broke out on her back.
"Bring the side dishes over, go and eat over there." Wen Jingzhao walked to the desk.
"Su He, I'll call the general's wife over."
Su He was a little puzzled. The young master and his wife had never gotten along and basically maintained a superficial peace. But not only had the young master gone to find his wife before, but this time he actually asked her to come over.
The lady actually came.
You know, the young master's yard is just short of a sign that says, "No Zhous or dogs allowed."
What happened that made the two of them send their servants away and sit down to talk peacefully?
He Yingchun and Su He stood outside the room. When they were servants, they often kept their heads down and rarely looked at the sky.
At this moment, the coldness gradually increased, the color of the sky gradually changed from dark blue to grayish white, and the clouds gradually condensed into thick layers, forming a hazy scene, with a kind of quietness before the wind and snow are about to hit.
He Yingchun looked at Yun, feeling a little panicked. She planned to leave the General's Mansion as soon as possible and find a place to stay, and then slowly make plans for the future.
Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves came from afar, shaking the entire sky like thunder. A team of black-armored cavalry galloped past, their armor shining in the sunlight.
It woke up the two people in the room.
Wen Jingzhao walked out first with a sullen face, and Zhou followed behind, hiding her trembling fingertips under her robe.
No one spoke.
The door of the mansion was violently pushed open, as if announcing the beginning of a disaster.
"By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims: Wen Ding'an, eager for quick success and instant benefits, disobeyed the Emperor's orders, resulting in the loss of 200,000 men and defeat at the hands of the Southern Dynasty. Wen Ding'an is to be caned with seventy sticks, and all the generals in his house are to be exiled to their respective towns and never to return to the capital."
Soldiers in iron armor, spears in hand, well-trained, instantly spread across the palace. Everything suddenly became chaotic. The red walls and black tiles, the former majesty and glory, were now thrown among the rocks. The echoing sounds in the palace were terrifying.
The general was carried back. The whole scene was like a nightmare, with traces of trampling everywhere. They came in a mighty force and left in a mighty force. The tranquility of the past was shattered like bubbles.
One group of soldiers rushed into the wing room, and another group of soldiers rushed into the ancestral hall. One group after another, smashing, looting and collecting things.
Wen Jingzhao rushed into the ancestral hall with an unsteady body. He used his body to stop the rampaging soldiers, but he could not withstand the cold spears.
His mother's tablet was overturned on the ground, covered with footprints and dust. The general lay there as if he was only breathing his last breath.
Life and death, death and life.
Finally, it turned into a mournful cry.
The general's mansion is gone.
