Chapter 53 The Taste of Medicine
Mrs. Si asked him to stay overnight and called home to let them know.
Let Jiang Ze help him here, and the two of them can take turns to rest for a while.
This busy work lasted until midnight.
Siming went upstairs and saw Bailing guarding the corridor: "Are the two children asleep?"
"He's already asleep." Bai Ling replied quickly.
Siming said nothing and turned back to his room.
When Yan Anqing came to class, he smelled the scent of Chinese medicine as soon as he entered the hall: "Is anyone sick at home?"
"No, it's just that last night, Second Master saved a child who was seriously injured. Since I'm boiling medicine to treat the wound, the smell of the medicine is a bit stronger."
The butler explained to him with a smile.
As Si Jinchen pulled Juanjuan down from upstairs, he smelled the scent of Chinese medicine.
Juanjuan's face wrinkled up like a bun: "It tastes like medicine. Juanjuan doesn't want to take medicine."
"Have you forgotten that little brother was sick yesterday? This is for that little brother to eat, not for Juanjuan." Si Jinchen looked at her and his frown stopped immediately.
The two children came down the stairs and saw Yan Anqing. They walked up to him and saluted politely: "Teacher."
"I came early today. Let's go eat first!" Yan Anqing looked at the two children and saw that they had just woken up.
"Teacher, have you eaten?" Si Jinchen looked at him and asked.
"I've eaten." Yan Anqing had just finished speaking when he heard a rumbling sound from his stomach.
He clenched his fist a little awkwardly and put it to his lips, coughing softly: "I drank porridge this morning, and I digested it after walking all the way."
"Mr. Yan, I've made a lot of breakfast. Come and have some!" Mrs. Si smiled and invited him to have breakfast.
Fearing he might refuse, he added, "It just so happens that Doctor Huai is here too."
"Then I'll eat some more without hesitation." Yan Anqing walked towards the restaurant.
Si Jinchen and Juanjuan looked at each other, both with smiles on their faces.
Their teacher was probably thinking about the contents of the book on the way and forgot to eat breakfast.
Si Ming and Si Tian went out early in the morning, and there were only two children and three adults in the restaurant.
Ma San has woken up. He didn't have a fever last night and he feels much better after applying the medicine.
Jiang Ze brought him breakfast.
The two children wanted to go see him, but they had classes to attend, so they could only go see him after class.
Yan Anqing first taught the two children new characters, but he had given up on asking Juanjuan to write seriously.
As long as she can recognize the words, it's fine. However, this child is also very smart. She can remember all the words taught, but when she writes them, they really look like pictures.
If you don't look closely, it really is a painting, not words.
After assigning them today's homework, he checked their work from yesterday.
Si Jinchen's handwriting is neat and tidy, and he is very careful whether he writes with a brush or a pen.
There are all kinds of weird paintings on the scroll, but you know what, they are really pretty.
Yan Anqing was shocked by his own thoughts. No, no, this is not advisable.
I put the two children's homework in my bag and said, "That's all for today. Review it well. I'll be checking it tomorrow."
The two children stood up and said, "Thank you, teacher!"
When Yan Anqing left, he said goodbye to Madam Si and left without asking anyone to see him off, saying that he wanted to take a walk.
"Brother, let's go see the little brother." Juanjuan saw Yan Anqing leaving and ran to Si Jinchen.
"Okay." Si Jinchen cleaned up the table, took her hand and went to the servant's room on the first floor.
"Knock knock knock" the two of them knocked on the door politely.
Jiang Ze opened the door and asked, "Why are the young master and young lady here?"
"Brother Jiang Ze, we are here to see the little brother." Juanjuan said with a smile.
"Come in quickly, he just woke up." Jiang Ze made room.
Doctor Huai has gone back to rest, and all we have to do here is change the medicine on time.
Juanjuan pulled Si Jinchen to the bedside and saw Ma San looking at them warily.
"Little brother, my name is Juanjuan, and this is my brother. Dad said you were injured. Does it hurt a lot?" Juanjuan looked at the black ointment on his back.
Ma San looked at her and for some reason, he seemed to be less resistant and said "hmm" softly.
"We'll help you blow on the air so it won't hurt. You'll get better soon." Juanjuan puffed out her cheeks and blew a breath on his back.
Si Jinchen also blew a breath like her.
Ma San looked at the two of them with some amusement. How could snoring not hurt? They were indeed the young lady and young master of a wealthy family.
"Little brother, you should have a good rest. Come and play with us when you are well rested." Juanjuan really doesn't like the taste of this medicine.
Before Ma San could react, he pulled Si Jinchen and ran away.
Jiang Ze smiled and closed the door, then walked to the chair beside the bed and sat down: "Don't blame the young lady, she doesn't like medicine and says it's bitter."
"Is she the Overseer's daughter?"
Jiang Ze shook his head: "She is the daughter-in-law of the governor and the young master's wife, but her family raises her as a daughter."
"Child bride?" Ma San couldn't help but frown. It seemed that she was not much luckier than himself.
Jiang Ze understood as soon as he saw his expression: "Don't mistake the Governor's Mansion for those rich people you see. The people in the Governor's Mansion are very good, otherwise you wouldn't be lying here now."
"Instead, he was taken back and beaten to death. I don't care whose child you were before. Now that you have entered the Governor's Mansion, you must consider yourself a member of this place."
Ma San didn't say anything. He still remembered what happened yesterday. He used such expensive Western medicine on himself just as he was told. Maybe it was really different here.
Jiang Ze looked at him and shook his head helplessly. This child was too stubborn and too insistent on his own opinion. However, there was one good thing about this kind of person. As long as he believed in something, he would risk his life to protect it.
I hope this Governor's Mansion is a place he will protect with his life.
But neither of them noticed that the wound on Ma San's back was healing little by little.
Ma San moved his stiff body, but the familiar pain disappeared completely.
He moved again uncertainly, and it was really gone.
"Don't move, the wound will split open soon." Jiang Ze saw him moving around and quickly spoke out to stop him.
"The wound on my body doesn't hurt anymore." Ma San said uncertainly.
"How is this possible? Lie down and let me see." Jiang Ze said as he carefully peeled off the ointment.
When he opened it, he found that the wound had really healed, and it was covered with tender pink granulations.
He was a little confused about what was going on. He looked down at the ointment on his hand and said, "Doctor Huai's medical skills are amazing."
Ma San couldn't hear what he was mumbling: "Is my injury healed?"
Jiang Ze immediately came to his senses: "Lie down and don't move. I'll take another look."
Ma San couldn't see, but he still lay there obediently without moving.
