Brother Rong of Red Mansion

Chapter 48 Master, take medicine
  "Master is sick?"

Jia Rong's expression changed and she couldn't help but exclaimed. She immediately turned around and walked straight through the hall to the east.

Perhaps the girls and servants guarding the gate had received the letter, so they didn't stop Jia Rong. They passed without any hindrance and soon entered Ning'an Hall.

In the side room of Ning'an Hall, Jia Rong walked slowly. Before entering the door, he shouted urgently: "Do you want to ask the doctor Wang..."

Calling all the way, breaking into the ear room all the way.

The ear room is luxuriously furnished, including cupboards, two cupboards, stools, piers, etc. Far away from the bed, there is a large table with drawers and a pedestal mirror.

Further inside, there is a set of low cabinets with camphor wood boxes on top.

Finally, there is Jia Zhen’s bed.

This is a huanghuali bed, forming a "room within a room". There are floor-standing clothes racks next to the bed. There is a dust cover on the top and a long footrest in front of the bed.

The walls around the bed are surrounded by painted screens or embroidery, forming an independent and private "secret room".

At this moment, the curtain cage of Babu bed was rolled up. Youshi wears a high bun with emerald pearls covering her hair. She wears a golden floral-patterned satin furry jacket with a furred front, a green and white square-necked jacket with a stand-up collar, and a pine-colored horse-faced skirt. She is well-mannered and charming. She was sitting sideways on the low stool at the head of the bed, holding Jia Zhen's right hand with a nervous look on her face and comforting her softly.

"Doctor Wang is coming soon, coming soon..."

It seems that the name of Dr. Wang has magical power and can calm Jia Zhen's emotions.

And in fact it is.

******
  An aristocratic family like Ning Rongjia's family must "support" Taiyuan Hospital every year. Every year and festival, I give a gift.

Naturally, when the Jia family has needs, Tai Hospital can also send people to "consult".

And Dr. Wang is the leader among them.

This person is called "Wang Jiren", he is a sixth-grade imperial doctor of Taiyuan Hospital, and is a family friend of Ning Rongjia's family. His great-uncle "Wang Junxiao" is the main hall of the Imperial Hospital today. It can be said that they have a family background, a Xinglin family.

In the original work, he appeared many times in Chapter 42, Chapter 53, and Chapter 83.

He had treated Xiren, Jiamu, Qiaojie, Qingwen, Baoyu, Fengjie and Daiyu successively. He was smooth-spoken and highly skilled in medicine, and was highly trusted by everyone in the Jia family. Later, in order to seek Yinfeng, he sought to serve in the army.

  By chance, Jia Rong stepped into the hall, with concern and nervousness in her eyes. When he came to Babu's bed, he looked at You and Jia Zhen lying on the bed, and said solemnly: "Madam, how is the master?"

"Brother Rong..." When Youshi saw Jia Rong, she pretended to be firm, but suddenly collapsed. I couldn't help but shed two lines of tears, and cried: "It's a good thing that the master is back. He only took a shower, but then he started to feel hot. The fever got worse and worse. Now he doesn't even recognize anyone..."

Jia Ronggong solemnly walked into Babu's bed and looked down at Jia Zhen lying on the bed.

Hey!
  Jia Rong was startled.

But he saw that Jia Zhen's face was flushed, like cooked prawns, and her expression was obviously very burnt.

She closed her eyes tightly, but her lips were dry and cracked.

Youshi wrapped the ice and snow in a handkerchief and wiped it with him, but it didn't feel any better. Instead, it got hotter and hotter.

Jia Rong reached out and felt the temperature on Jia Zhen's forehead and body. Sure enough, she felt a severe fever.

"Madam, don't panic!"

Jia Rong calmed down and comforted Youshi in a warm voice. There seemed to be a sense of stability in those warm words, which instantly calmed Youshi's nervous and fearful mood, and her crying gradually stopped.

Youshi was sitting on a low stool, looking up at Jia Rong. Suddenly, she felt in a trance, but she felt that Jia Rong's eyebrows were handsome, her body seemed to be glowing, and she showed unprecedented calmness, and her figure was taller and straighter.

"Well, I listen to Brother Rong."

Youshi wiped her tears with a handkerchief and nodded subconsciously.

"Have you taken the cold water elixir?"

Jia Rong asked.

Youshi nodded, "When I wasn't here, the master ate one. It didn't work out well. He also ordered the pharmacy to grab a batch of 'Ephedra Soup' and send it to the waiter to fry it. It should be fried by now. " Just as he was talking, a girl came into the hall. She was wearing a green forged cotton-padded jacket and had delicate features. She was the eldest girl of You family, whom she called "Yindie".

She held a tray and brought it in herself.

"Madam, the medicine is here."

Youshi's eyebrows were filled with joy and she quickly said: "Bring it quickly."

After that, he picked up the jade bowl from the tray. The bowl was steaming. It was the 'ephedra soup' that had been picked up from the pharmacy and decoctioned by the waiter.

The ‘Lengshui Jindan’ and ‘Mahuang Decoction’ are common Chinese medicines used to treat wind-cold and heat-related diseases.

Ning Mansion has prepared it himself.

At this moment, You held the jade bowl, scooped out the food with a spoon, blew on the hot air, took a spoonful, and brought it to Jia Zhen's chapped lips.

"Master, take medicine."

As soon as these words came out, before anyone else could react, Jia Rong's eyes narrowed and he couldn't help but look at Youshi.

Why do these words... sound so familiar?

And this scene seemed like I had seen it before somewhere.

Jia Rong's thoughts were divergent, and unbearable images were already appearing in his mind. His body, which had been fighting fiercely all night, could not help but feel a surge of blood.

"Hey, it turns out that the official is me!"

I don't know why, in this delicate environment, Jia Rong's breathing was slightly rapid, and she could only hear her heart beating.

Looking at Youshi, there was suddenly a hint of evil fire in his eyes, and his gaze became much bolder, wandering over her graceful and well-proportioned figure.

Youshi is Jia Zhen's step-mother.

Of course, there is no need to say more about her beauty. He is about thirty years old, elegant in manners and charming in style. She has hairpins on her temples and a gentle aura. She doesn't need to dress up, so she certainly stands out among the crowd of girls.

At this moment, Jia Rong stood on the Babu bed, very close to Youshi, and could faintly smell a faint fragrance coming from Youshi. Light and elegant, leisurely and graceful. It was like a spark falling into the oil barrel, igniting Jia Rong's body with a bang and making his blood boil.

Women have a natural sixth sense for men’s attention.

When Youshi gave Jia Zhen the medicine, she didn't notice anything yet. But gradually, she heard Ruoyouruowu's heavy breathing, as if a pair of greedy eyes were wandering wantonly on her body, and she was suddenly startled.

At this moment, Youshi's nervousness dissipated and she gradually regained her composure. Then she suddenly discovered something: she and Jia Rong were too close!
  How much space can there be in a Babu bed?

Even if it is a "room within a room", it is just a bed. The canopy bed where Jia Zhen lay took up most of the room.

Then, there are two low stools at the head and end of the bed, and a long footrest in front of the bed.

In the narrow space, breathing can be heard clearly.

But she and Jia Rong were in front of the bed, one sitting sideways and the other standing with a bow. They seem to be "clearly separated", but in fact they are very close to each other and are touching each other.

The paintings and embroideries surrounding the bed further obscured the view of the girls in the hall.

Create an "independent and private" secret room space "under the full view of the public".

The atmosphere in this narrow space is really difficult to describe to outsiders. Two hearts pounding. They all felt an unprecedented sense of tension and excitement.

In particular, Jia Zhen, who was lying on the bed, was extremely ill and closed her eyes tightly.

In this environment, Jia Rong's dark side is magnified. His eyes wandered over Youshi for a while, and his blood boiled all over, as if a flame was about to burn. His eyes were burning, he licked his lips, his heart was beating loudly, and he suddenly stretched out his hand, and tentatively touched Youshi's shoulder with his fingertips.

In an instant, Youshi was shocked.
