Chapter 91
After breakfast, Gu Mingzhu called someone to pass on Liu Zige.

Outside the window is a piece of green bamboo, and the cold autumn wind blows.

Xu Jue was sitting by the fire, with hot wine on the shelf and roasted fruits.

Luzig hadn't come yet.

Gu Mingzhu looked at the flames for a while, Xu Jue made hot tea, and Liu Zige walked in from the courtyard.

"Master." He saluted respectfully.

Gu Mingzhu said: "There is no need to be too polite, just sit down."

Liu Zige bowed his head to Xu Jue, and sat down as promised.

Gu Mingzhu said: "You are looking for me for the accounts of the army?"

Liu Zige said: "Yes, just after the war stopped, the loss of weapons and the comfort of the personnel are all a lot of expenses. When I first came here, I didn't know who was in charge of the account, so I went directly to find the master."

Gu Mingzhu said: "From now on, the Nanming army will be in charge of the accounts in Yueyan."

Liu Zige said: "I only found out this morning, I missed Miss Huang, and I'm afraid she won't be free to reconcile accounts with me today."

Xu Jue handed over the teacup, Gu Mingzhu took it, and poured another cup for Liu Zige.

Liu Zige hurriedly said: "Thank you, my son."

Liu Zige held the teacup, and said again: "But since the master is awake, it's good to be right with you. The team recruitment will be completed in a few days, and it's another expense. It's an urgent matter and cannot be suppressed."

Gu Mingzhu nodded.

Liu Zige handed her the sorted accounts, and while Gu Mingzhu was flipping through them, he explained: "This great victory, the loss of weapons is not heavy, but the soldiers were all injured and needed wound medicine, plus It takes nearly 60 taels to appease the family of the deceased."

Gu Mingzhu nodded, flipped through the items he listed, and found that each item was well-founded, so she closed the booklet and said, "Thank you for your hard work, I will write a letter, and you can stamp my seal to withdraw the money."

She stood up, took a pen, ink, paper and inkstone to write.

Liu Zige waited for a while, and saw Xu Jue drinking tea slowly, then remembered that he had a teacup in his hand, and took a sip slowly, the fragrance of bamboo leaves mixed with the heat from fresh fruits Tea has a special flavor.

Liu Zige remained calm, but he was wondering in his heart that a person like Xu Jue would actually like this kind of thing.

Gu Mingzhu wrote very quickly, took the seal and stamped it, approached and handed it to Liu Zige, saying: "With this handwriting, you can withdraw money."

Liu Zige took a look at it, put it in his arms, and said, "Thank you, master."

Gu Mingzhu saw that he was humble and polite from beginning to end, and his speech was as gentle as jade. She sat down, picked up the tea by the stove, took a sip slowly, and asked casually, "Are you 24 this year?"

Liu Zige said: "Yes, twenty out of four."

Gu Mingzhu said: "24, is there a marriage?"

As soon as Gu Mingzhu said this, both of them looked at her.

Liu Zige was only taken aback for a moment, and then said: "There is a marriage in the family, but now that the Liu family is in decline, this marriage may not be possible."

Gu Mingzhu said: "Oh? If you can get married with the Liu family in Qinghe County, which one must it be?"

Liu Qige said: "To tell the truth, master, she is the daughter of the Gusu Shen family."

Gu Mingzhu smiled lightly and said, "Have you seen her before?"

"Naturally."

"What do you think, Miss Shen?"

Liu Zige seemed to think of something, smiled slightly, and said: "Miss Shen, bright and lively, innocent and innocent."

Gu Mingzhu smiled, and the topic was over.

After sitting for a while, and talking about some military affairs, Liuzig left.

A gust of cold wind blew in, making the paper on the table rattle, Xu Jue got up and closed the window.

Gu Mingzhu next to the fire covered her lips and coughed.

He said, "Have you caught a cold?"

Gu Mingzhu coughed for a long time before saying, "Maybe."

She picked up the tea and took a sip to moisten her throat, her face flushed slightly.

Xu Jue raised his hand to touch her forehead, frowned, and said, "Why is it so hot?"

Gu Mingzhu didn't realize it.

Xu Jue carried him back to the bed, took off his shoes and socks, and wrapped him in the quilt: "I must have caught a cold last night and had a fever. Don't move around. I'll call the doctor."

Gu Mingzhu nodded obediently, and watched him go out.

The doctor quickly checked the pulse and said: "For ordinary fever, it will be fine if you sweat out of the decoction. Try not to see the wind for these two days."

The guards escorted the doctor out and brought the decocted medicine into the house. Before leaving, Xu Jue ordered, "Close the door."

Gu Mingzhu on the bed shook and smiled, and said, "It's not so exaggerated, open the door, the room is too stuffy."

Xu Jue half-supported her to sit up, and fed her medicine spoon by spoon. Gu Mingzhu frowned, as if swallowing some arsenic poison.

When it was about to bottom out, she felt a thin layer of sweat on her forehead because of the bowl of hot medicine, she raised her hand to wipe it away, her eyes went dark, Xu Jue pressed her to take the last mouthful of medicine.

The medicine is bitter, but it seems not too bitter.

Gu Mingzhu swallowed, and wanted to push him away during the kiss, saying, "Be careful of contagion..."

She couldn't break free, and was pushed onto the bed. Xu Jue kissed him until he was dying before moving away a little. The heat was in her ear: "What infection is there, I am in good health."

Gu Mingzhu smiled lazily, due to the effect of the medicine, his consciousness gradually became a little drowsy, and he was unable to push him: "It's so heavy, get up, it makes me uncomfortable."

Xu Jue called her in a low voice: "Wanwan..."

Gu Mingzhu's response was inaudible: "Here..."

"Get well soon, I hope you get better soon."

"kindness……"

He pressed against her forehead, kissed her, and said: "My Wanwan will live a long life without any disease or disaster."

"... long life... a hundred years old, when...the teeth... all fall out, ugly..."

The room fell into silence, and the charcoal fire beside the stove gradually dimmed.

When it was getting dark, Gu Mingzhu woke up from the heat.

She opened her eyes in a daze. Because of the severe heat, she was sweating all over. Although she was more energetic, her strength did not recover.

As soon as she moved, the person next to the bed immediately noticed, leaned forward and said, "Are you awake?"

It is a very beautiful face.

Gu Mingzhu was stunned for a long time before she remembered who she was, and said, "Liu Siru?"

The girl frowned and said happily, "You actually remember my name."

Liu Siru helped her sit up, took the newly sent snow-white cloak and put it on her, and said, "Are you feeling better?"

"It's much better." Gu Mingzhu stood up: "Why are you here?"

Liu Siru said: "Xu Shizi said that you need someone to watch you when you are sick, so I came here."

Gu Mingzhu nodded and asked, "What about others?"

Liu Siru said: "He just went out, it seems that something happened to the barracks."

Gu Mingzhu looked sideways at her: "Military camp? What happened to the military camp?"

"I heard that the soldiers from Duanzhou fought with the soldiers from Dangzhou. When they saw blood, they refused to accept each other."

Gu Mingzhu pondered for a moment and asked, "Why did you fight?"

"I'm not sure, but I heard that there has been a long-standing grievance between the two sides. Before he left, Xu Shizi said that sure enough, it seems that the two families will fight sooner or later."

Gu Mingzhu asked: "How long have you been there?"

"Two hours."

Her body was sticky, Gu Mingzhu said: "Go and order someone to fetch some hot water."

Liu Siru nodded quickly, and soon hot water came in.

She didn't dare to wash for too long, after taking a bath, Liu Liu Siru came in with medicine.

Gu Mingzhu now has a headache whenever she sees the medicine bowl, and her mouth seems to have a bitter taste.

Liu Siru said: "Xu Shizi gave an order before he left, if you wake up, you need to drink medicine after bathing, and ordered me to keep an eye on it, he said... He said there should not be a single drop left."

Gu Mingzhu laughed angrily, but she didn't make things difficult for her. She took the medicine and drank another bowl of porridge.

At the second watch, people came back.

In the corridor, Xia Yueyan and Xu Jue were walking side by side, they were talking about something, Gu Mingzhu opened the window, no wind was blowing, the door knocked, and the two entered.

"Miss." Yue Yan said: "I heard that you are sick, but are you better?"

Gu Mingzhu had put down her book, walked towards her, and said, "It's just an ordinary fever, it's gone."

Yue Yan nodded understandingly, and said, "All the soldiers who died in battle have been counted, and the pension will be distributed tomorrow. We are going to bury unclaimed bones in the Zhongyi Tomb."

Gu Mingzhu said: "Good job. Although we won, the four prefectures and two counties were also in turmoil because of this, and refugees ran wildly. In addition to the military camp, the household registration of the people needs to be completed as soon as possible."

"Yes."

"Choose a time and ask Zhizhou and Duwei from the Six Cities to come."

"Yes."
