Chapter 51: Millennium Ginseng
"I'm afraid my husband will find it bitter, so I added candied dates to today's medicine." Liang Weiyuan explained with a smile.
Although his body could not move, his taste buds were very sensitive and he could taste it immediately.
"I went to accompany the old lady to worship Buddha a while ago and neglected my husband."
Liang Weiyuan used a handkerchief to wipe away the medicine stains on the corners of Huo Jinjian's lips, and her fingertips inadvertently brushed across the stubble on his chin as she continued her narration nonchalantly.
After all, the person has already regained consciousness, so Liang Weiyuan couldn't just say nothing and make the atmosphere awkward.
"Now that the old lady has issued an order, you are the top priority. You must be considerate in every aspect. Naturally, the taste of this medicine must also be made better."
Huo Jin's heart was slightly moved when he heard this.
In the past, the sound of his grandmother chanting scriptures could always be heard at dawn and dusk, praying for him.
Listening to Liang Weiyuan's calm and gentle voice at this moment, I suddenly felt that the calculations and warmth in this deep house had become a little warmer because of this woman.
Liang Weiyuan didn't know what he was thinking. After feeding him the medicine, she picked up the porridge again.
The porridge spoon made a crisp sound when it hit the edge of the bowl, and Huo Jin saw his earlobe move again.
He was unable to open his eyes or move, so he could only observe Liang Weiyuan based on what he heard.
Liang Weiyuan calmly scooped up a spoonful of bird's nest porridge, blew on it again and again, and then brought it to his lips: "This is newly obtained snow swallows, simmered for two hours. It was also the old lady's instruction. My husband loved to eat this kind of sweet porridge when he was a child. Try it."
Seeing him swallow the food, Huo Jin felt a warmth in his throat.
His grandmother had very high standards and could tell her these things without any reservations, which showed that his daughter-in-law pleased her.
Huo Jin wanted to nod, but he could only frown slightly and gave up.
After finishing the medicine and breakfast one by one, Liang Weiyuan looked at the time and asked the maids to close the door and leave.
"Husband, it's time for a massage."
This time, Huo Jin saw no response, but saw a faint blush on his pale and cold face.
Are you embarrassed?
Liang Weiyuan withdrew her gaze without thinking too much, and her soft fingertips untied the laces of his shirt.
The brocade slid to the ground, revealing the man's broad shoulders and narrow waist with well-defined muscles.
"I'm sorry." Liang Weiyuan whispered, poured the medicinal oil into his palms skillfully, and rubbed his palms together for several circles.
When the oil was slightly hot, she gently pressed it on his chest.
Perhaps he had recovered well. The moment Liang Weiyuan's fingertips touched his muscles, she felt that his body was slightly tenser than before, like a drawn bowstring.
"Relax." Liang Weiyuan applied pressure to the acupoint with her thumb knuckles, "Divine Doctor Ye said that we need to let the Qi and blood flow through the Du channel, but it will be a little painful."
She held her breath and concentrated, pushing and pressing with skillful force. With a click, Huo Jinjian's back suddenly relaxed.
Not sure if it was her illusion, but Huo Jin saw the blush spreading from behind her ears all the way to her neck, and the hot breath sprayed on her wrist.
At this moment, Huo Jin felt that these massages to loosen the muscles and bones were neither painful nor itchy.
Only the woman's soft hands roaming softly on his chest disturbed his mind.
Every time Liang Weiyuan's fingertips slid, it brought a fine and dense tingling sensation, as if a light feather was tickling his heart uncontrollably.
In order to divert attention, Huo Jin saw the fingers moving quickly and said: "It doesn't hurt. There has never been such treatment in the army."
Liang Weiyuan smiled, but her fingertips did not stop, slowly moving to the vital point on his waist and abdomen: "The army has its own rules, but I am the boss here, so I should take care of my husband's feelings."
But when Huo Jinjian felt the warmth of her fingertips moving around his lower abdomen, his back suddenly tensed even more.
How could his wife be so... so calm and give him a massage like this?
Moreover, his perception was getting better day by day, and he could feel the touch of their skin against each other more intensely.
Seeing that she was both uncomfortable and embarrassed, Huo Jin took a very short breath and wrote out his thoughts: "We... husband and wife... don't sleep on the same bed?"
"Divine Doctor Ye said you need to rest. I'm also afraid of affecting my husband's recovery, so I've been sleeping in another room since I got married. I'll wait until my husband wakes up before we discuss anything else."
Liang Weiyuan explained, and Huo Jin saw that it was normal to ask about this matter. Anyone who woke up from a coma and found that he suddenly had a new wife would naturally be puzzled.
Seeing the thin layer of sweat inexplicably oozing out of Huo Jin's forehead, he did not forget to wipe it off for him with a handkerchief.
Unexpectedly, Huo Jin paused and wrote again: "I want... to know... what you look like."
Could it be that he was worried about the appearance of his new bride?
Liang Weiyuan touched her fair and flawless face, thinking that she would not make Huo Jin worried, so she smiled lightly:
"Don't worry, my dear husband. It won't be long before you wake up and see me with your own eyes."
Huo Jin couldn't help but clench his fingers when he saw this.
He felt an uncontrollable restlessness in his heart, and was eager to see his daughter-in-law taking care of him intimately with her skin.
But she seemed calm and composed, and her tone didn't sound quite expectant.
Huo Jin felt a slight sense of loss for a moment, and his brows frowned unnaturally.
Perhaps it was because he was busy managing the household, his wife had no time to distract herself and was looking forward to him.
When thinking of the head of the household, one cannot help but think of the second wife.
In an instant, a chill settled in my chest.
Huo Jin raised his hand and tapped out a rhythm of three long and two short notes, signaling Liang Weiyuan to listen carefully.
"Yu family...Jinxiu Pavilion".
"Shu brocade...adulterated...Suzhou embroidery".
"Adulteration?" Liang Weiyuan narrowed her eyes and quickly understood what Huo Jinjian wanted to express.
"My husband is saying that there's something wrong with the fabric in Yu's Jinxiu Pavilion, and that she's using Su embroidery base material to pass it off as Shu brocade?"
Huo Jin saw her index finger pointing, indicating that she was right: "But... deal with Yu."
Liang Weiyuan half-closed her eyelashes and fell into deep thought.
Jinxiu Pavilion was Yu's dowry shop, so even if she took charge of the household, she couldn't interfere. Furthermore, with her busy schedule, she didn't have the time or manpower to conduct such a thorough investigation.
But he didn't expect that Huo Jinjian actually knew the dark side of Yu's shop.
Seeing Huo Jin raised his hand and moved, he wrote: "Pressure... under house arrest."
"My husband wants to find evidence that Jinxiu Pavilion is adulterating inferior fabrics. If so, Yu will be punished with at least twenty strokes of the cane and confinement for a hundred days."
The Marquis's Mansion did have this rule. They would not interfere with the dowries of their wives, but they would never allow their wives to bring disgrace to the family.
Seeing this, Huo Jin couldn't help but secretly praise his wife for her intelligence and quick mind. He gestured: "Yu is under house arrest and has no time to cause trouble for us."
