Chapter 31 Blue Amber
Zhu Huaizhen and Lou Li returned to Youxi Thatched Cottage with the holy water. It was already Chen Mingan's last day of deadline.
"What took you two so long? Could it be that you couldn't stand the loneliness and did something to delay the time?" Zhao Lian'er first scolded her non-stop, then changed the subject, clutching her handkerchief and sobbing, "Brother Ming'an almost couldn't hold on."
"Zhao Lian'er, whether I save Chen Ming'an or not depends entirely on my mood. Don't use moral blackmail on me." Zhu Huaizhen said angrily.
Unfortunately, Zhu Huaizhen is tough on the outside but soft on the inside.
Mr. Youxi kept his promise. When he was treating Chen Ming'an, Zhu Huaizhen was obviously so tired that he could not even open his eyelids, but he forced himself to stay awake and made sure that Chen Ming'an was fine before turning around to rest.
As for the credit of taking care of Chen Mingan, it goes to Zhao Lian'er.
Sure enough, Zhao Lian'er, who was so frail, waited for the child to boil the medicine, then fanned the heat and fed it to Chen Ming'an one spoonful at a time, as if she had spent a lot of energy to make this medicine from beginning to end.
Lou Li told Zhu Huaizhen about this little episode.
Zhu Huaizhen was cracking melon seeds and laughing heartily.
Just as Lou Li said, she had already repaid Chen Ming'an's so-called affection twice.
She has let it go much more now, and maybe she even likes Chen Mingan a little.
"Zhenzhen, can you make candied fruit? Ming'an feels that the prescription prescribed by Master Youxi is particularly bitter." Zhao Lian'er suddenly stood quietly at the door, with faint traces of tears in the corners of her eyes.
Alas, Zhao Lian'er is really good at evoking those memories that are no longer pleasant.
Once upon a time, Chen Mingan had a hot-headed reaction, so he just boiled some medicine and made do with it.
But Zhu Huaizhen was really distressed.
Zhu Huaizhen followed the cook and learned how to make candied fruit, hoping that it could ease the bitter taste of Chen Mingan's medicine.
However, Chen Mingan is picky about food and doesn't like candied fruits.
Zhu Huaizhen then prepared the peach pancake according to the ancient recipe.
To make the peach pancake, pick fresh cherries, remove the pits, boil them in green plum water until they are soft, then mash the boiled flesh, put it into a mold, press it into small cakes, and sprinkle with sugar.
Zhu Huaizhen once raised a little white fox, which was very cute.
Zhu Huaizhen used the little white fox's mold and pestered Chen Mingan to eat it.
After eating, Chen Ming'an said it was okay and sent Zhu Huaizhen away.
Now that I think about it, I was quite in love back then.
If you want to pull Gaolingzhihua down from the altar, Gaolingzhihua must be willing to do so.
Chen Mingan probably never felt willing to do so.
"Zhao Lian'er, I don't know how to make candied fruit. If you are not afraid of hard work, there are citrons for sale at the foot of Guiyuan Temple. They taste pretty good." Zhu Huaizhen said lightly.
Zhao Lian'er didn't go to buy citrons after all.
Lou Li bought some citrons to cheer up Zhu Huaizhen.
Citron has a light orange scent and smells very comfortable.
However, eating citron directly has a mediocre taste and is not as good as making candied fruit.
After about five or six days, Chen Mingan gradually recovered and was ready to set off.
Before leaving, Youxi Jushi secretly gave Zhu Huaizhen a piece of blue amber.
That blue amber is royal blue amber, pure and flawless, and priceless.
"Sister Youxi, it's too precious." Zhu Huaizhen pushed and wanted to return the blue amber to Sister Youxi.
In fact, with the treasures of the Great Zhou Dynasty at her disposal, others would only provide her with good food and drink, and at most humiliate her with words.
Zhu Huaizhen is already a princess of a fallen country, so she will naturally control her temper and be patient.
"Zhen'er, just keep it as I told you. This blue amber was a gift from the Emperor of Jin, and it represents his promise. You should keep it for yourself in case of emergency." Youxi Jushi said angrily, and then ordered him to leave.
Seeing this, Zhu Huaizhen held the blue amber in his hands, tears filling his eyes.
Anyone who meets her by chance will treat her Zhu Huai really well.
Instead, it was the flower of Gaoling, to whom she gave her true heart, who trampled on her sincerity.
She used to be very silly and naive.
