My name is Su Yunwei
"Oh." Su Yunwei replied, "I'm awake." She muttered and was about to lie down again. Fu Mingyue quickly sat down beside the bed and hugged her with a wave of his arm.
"Weiwei, come with me to Lushi Lane to see Mingzhao."
The woman's hot breath tickled Su Yunwei's neck. She dazedly opened her eyes and stared at the dark wooden wardrobe before her. Then, out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at the woman holding her and said slowly, "Let me go back to sleep after you're done."
"Yeah, yeah..." Fu Mingyue nodded quickly and took Su Yunwei over first.
The woman beside her loosened her arms, and Su Yun's slightly wet neck felt refreshed instantly. But just as she breathed a sigh of relief, the woman's delicate hands reached out and tugged at her collar.
Su Yunwei clutched her chest tightly and said anxiously, "What are you doing? I'm a straight woman! I only like men!"
Fu Mingyue, who was busy undressing Su Yunwei, didn't know what she meant by a straight woman, but she agreed with her only liking men, because she also only liked men.
"Let me help you put it on, it will be faster this way."
Su Yunwei: "I can wear it myself."
Fu Mingyue: "It's okay, let's wear it together."
The sound of the two girls fighting startled the two orioles perched on the peach tree at the foot of the courtyard wall, and they flapped their wings and flew away.

Su Yunwei and Fu Mingyue came out of the side door of the Fu Mansion side by side, and got on the carriage one after the other.
The wheels rolled slowly, making a dull, wet sound on the dew-soaked bluestone slabs. They slowly drove through the streets. Hanging around the cart were square bells that Fu Mingyue had carefully selected. A gentle tinkling sound rang out in the breeze. Fu Mingyue leaned against the window, listening to the pleasant sounds. Adding to the news that Mingzhao had woken up, she was in a great mood! The smile on her lips couldn't be lowered for a moment.
Su Yunwei, who was sitting next to him, looked down at her clothes from time to time, then raised her hand to pinch the bun on her head, her expression was dazed for a moment.
This way... he really looks like an ancient person.
Her gaze fell on Fu Mingyue, whose eyes curved across from her, and she thought to herself, "This is such a complicated outfit. If Fu Mingyue hadn't been there to give me guidance, I'd probably have spent ages fiddling with it before I could even put it on." She touched her bun and thought, "I didn't expect her hair to be so beautiful. It's much better than those modern costume photographers. Maybe this is the natural advantage of indigenous people."
Sensing Su Yunwei's gaze, Fu Mingyue slowly turned around and lingered for a moment on the slightly raised collar of her clothes. She smirked, "I didn't expect your figure, Weiwei... Zzzz... is really good."
"If I were a man, I wouldn't be able to control myself."
Want to pinch.
"Really?" Su Yun raised his eyebrows slightly and said slowly, "Then let me see yours." Then he stretched out his hand.
Fu Mingyue looked at the hand in front of her in panic and quickly turned sideways to protect herself.
It turns out that there is much thunder but little rain!
Su Yunwei immediately gave up her teasing thoughts and turned back to lift the curtain. On both sides were residential houses and shops, stretching as far as the eye could see. Taverns, teahouses, snacks, and street performances were everywhere.
Compared with modern skyscrapers, places like this seem to have more of the bustling atmosphere of the world.
The carriage continued to roll until it reached the Xiangguo Temple. A constant stream of people and noise filled the air, and carriages were parked in clusters on the roadside, completely blocking Fu Mingyue and the others' path.
"Uncle Wang, what's going on?" The carriage stopped and Fu Mingyue hurriedly asked the driver outside the curtain.
"Miss, there's a market going on at Xiangguo Temple today, and the traffic is blocked."
Going to the market? Fu Mingyue suddenly jumped out from behind the curtain and peeked out, only to see a huge crowd of people at the gate of Xiangguo Temple. The dense crowds of people and carriages had blocked the road ahead.
Although Xiangguo Temple is a temple, it is open to the public five times a month. During these five days, the temple will become a huge market.
The market at Xiangguo Temple sells many different things, including flying eagles and wild animals, bowls, plates, porcelain, women's head ornaments and rouge, as well as many daily necessities.
Today happens to be one of the five days, so it is naturally very lively.
Su Yun lifted the car curtain slightly, and wherever she looked, she saw the bustling crowd. She couldn't help but wonder, "Are the people here so superstitious?"
The door curtain fell, and Fu Mingyue leaned back. Seeing her sitting down, Su Yunwei asked, "Are they all here to worship Buddha?"
"No!" Fu Mingyue shook her head and continued, "Today is the market day at Xiangguo Temple, which happens five times a month. These are all people who come here to buy things and sell things."
Is there a market in the temple? I really want to go down and have a look. Su Yunwei was about to speak when Fu Mingyue pulled her back and said hurriedly, "Let's go. Let's walk to Ming Zhao's place. It's nearby anyway."
He picked up the medicine box beside Su Yunwei's feet and pushed Su Yunwei out of the carriage.
After Fu Mingyue told Uncle Wang, the driver, to park the carriage aside, she took Su Yunwei to Lushi Lane.
In the distance, a figure stood there, staring at Fu Mingyue for a while, then quietly left.
Lushi Lane, inside Zuichun Pavilion.
Su Yunwei followed Fu Mingyue closely, looked around, and wondered:
"Why is there no one here?" Su Yunwei asked, and then saw the back of the woman in front of her pause slightly, and then Fu Mingyue's slow voice came:
"The brothels here only open for business at night. They rest during the day."
"Oh..." Su Yunwei suddenly realized, so that's it! Night shift! That must be quite tiring!
"Oh, isn't this the little princess? What brings you here so early in the morning?"
A pretentiously gentle voice came, and Su Yun raised his eyes slightly. Suddenly, a charming middle-aged woman stood before him. She stretched her waist, moved charmingly, and her fox eyes were full of waves.
It’s full of charm, Su Yunwei sighed inwardly.
"This is Mingzhao's boss, Chunji." Fu Mingyue lowered her head and explained the name of the visitor. Then her eyes fell on Chunji, "Mingzhao has woken up, I'm going to see him."
Chun Ji was about to greet Su Yunwei behind Fu Mingyue when she was interrupted by Fu Mingyue. She quickly took a step back, bowed and smiled softly as she stood aside.
Only after the two figures disappeared did Chun Ji move away.
·····
Standing at the Mingzhao gate were two servants left by Fu Mingyue to guard the gate. When they saw Fu Mingyue appear, they hurriedly bowed and greeted her: "Miss."
Fu Mingyue interrupted him with a wave of her hand and asked hurriedly, "How's Mingzhao?"
"My lady, Ming Zhao woke up at 1:00 AM today."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
Su Yunwei stood aside and saw Fu Mingyue take out a purse and throw it to the two of them, then said, "Retreat for a while."
He stared at the purse in his hand and hesitated for a moment, then saw the two of them smiling happily. He said respectfully, "Thank you for the reward, Miss. We will do our utmost to serve you until our death."
Fu Mingyue waved her hands in disgust: "Stop it, leave now!"
Fu Mingyue was about to push the door open when Su Yunwei quickly grabbed her hand and whispered, "Be quiet when we go in. Too much noise might irritate Mingzhao."
Fu Mingyue's face was serious, and she nodded solemnly. Then the two of them pushed the door open and tiptoed to Mingzhao's bed. As Su Yun got closer, she saw the man on the bed, motionless, staring at them with his eyes open. Her heart skipped a beat, and her whole body trembled. Oh my god! It was terrifying!
Fu Mingyue's eyes were slightly red, and she pursed her lips as if she was about to cry. She squatted down, approached the speechless Mingzhao, and hurriedly stood up and asked in a low voice, "Weiwei, why is Mingzhao speechless?"
"Don't be anxious, let me take a look." Su Yunwei patted Fu Mingyue's shoulder lightly, then approached Mingzhao.
Ming Zhao, lying on the bed, stiffly followed Su Yunwei's movements, turning his head and eyes, as if wondering who this woman was.
Su Yunwei squatted down, trying to keep her tone low and spoke softly, "Hello Mingzhao, I'm Su Yunwei, invited by your friend Fu Mingyue to treat you."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the man on the bed's expression moved slightly, his brows were furrowed, and his throat made a few extremely weak and hoarse hoarse sounds, as if he was fighting against his body.
Su Yunwei remembered the anti-inflammatory medicine she gave to Fu Mingyue yesterday, and turned around and asked, "Mingyue, where are the small pills I gave you yesterday?"
Upon hearing this, Fu Mingyue hurriedly took off the bag with a flying bird embroidered on it from her waist, lowered her head, carefully took out the pills, and handed them to Su Yunwei.
Su Yunwei took it and said hurriedly, "Mingyue, pour some warm water and feed him this medicine."
Fu Mingyue was delighted and quickly tiptoed out of the door.
After a while, Fu Mingyue, holding a kettle in her left hand and a porcelain bowl in her right hand, sneaked into the house like a thief.
"Weiwei, the water is coming."
Su Yunwei took the water handed to her by Fu Mingyue, then picked up a pill and held it in front of Mingzhao's eyes, saying, "This is the medicine to cure your illness. You need to take it now."
Ming Zhao nodded stiffly in response, then slowly opened his mouth with an effort, the corners of his mouth even twitching slightly.
Su Yunwei carefully put the pill into his mouth and whispered, "Drink some water before swallowing it." Then she picked up a small spoon, scooped up some warm water, and fed it into his lips, which were opened with difficulty, little by little.
The liquid slowly flowed into his mouth, and the man's Adam's apple rolled violently, followed by a clear and strong choking cough.
The water and pills he was fed sprayed around the corners of his lips. His face suddenly turned red, and he even groaned in pain. His eyes were full of suffocating fear when he looked at Su Yunwei.
I guess it irritated the wound that was cleaned yesterday.
Su Yunwei stood up in a daze, holding the bowl of water. Her heart sank suddenly. Ming Zhao's throat must still be in a state of stiffness, and he couldn't swallow the pills at all. Force-feeding him would only choke him to death.
Fu Mingyue squatted beside him and gently soothed his breathing, while on the other side she used a clean cloth to wipe the medicine residue from the corner of his mouth.
The choking and convulsions gradually subsided under Fu Mingyue's comfort. The man collapsed on the bed, leaving only heavy breathing and painful eyes. Su Yunwei's gaze fell on his gray face, his eyes were dark and unclear, as if he was in a struggle between heaven and earth.
