Doctor Xianggong, the goddess of poisonous belly

Chapter 91
Si Jixia was supposed to do the dishwashing job, but was stopped by Dong Nuangu, perhaps because he was afraid that his insistence would make her unhappy, so he gave up and just watched her clumsily wash the dishes , and for a moment she almost slipped off the half-washed bowl.

After Dongnuan put the clean dishes and chopsticks back into the low cabinet, Si Jixia walked out of the kitchen and walked to the back of the kitchen. After walking a few steps, he stopped, as if he was waiting for Dongnuan to follow, although He didn't open his mouth to tell her to follow him, Dongnuangu couldn't understand the meaning of his silent actions, followed behind him, his long eyelashes fluttered slightly, and then walked to the side.

Dongnuan was walking on the left side of Si Jixia, that is, the side not close to the wall. The rain dripped from the eaves onto her shoulders and wet the clothes on her shoulders. Si Jixia just moved silently. Her left side caught the cold rainwater for her. Dong Nuan just then noticed that her right shoulder had been wet by the rain at some point, and couldn't help but take another look at Si Jixia.

After ten or so steps, the two of them came to the back wall of the kitchen, and saw that the distance between the back wall of the kitchen and the high wall of the yard was only half a foot wide, and the few catalpa trees growing in this half foot wide were It is extremely lush, the branches and leaves cover the roof of the kitchen and even spread out from the top of the high wall, and there are green leaf tendrils hanging down from the roof, one after another, like curtains, and vines grow on the ground. On the trunk of the catalpa tree, it is also on the high wall of the yard and the back wall of the kitchen.

Si Jixia walked into the small place between the high wall of the yard, the catalpa tree and the back wall of the kitchen. Dong Nuan was still wondering why Si Jixia took her to the back, but Si Jixia took a few steps Then he raised his hand and pushed aside the green curtain of green leaves hanging from the roof to the ground, only then did he find that the kitchen back wall was very close to the high courtyard wall and covered by catalpa branches and leaves. It is not a bare wall, but there is a single small door and a small window on the wall. If it is not for someone with a heart, no one would know that there are doors and windows behind this, just like Dong Nuan, she is also at this moment. I know there are doors and windows here.

The door opened, and there was a narrow and long hut that was more than half shorter than the kitchen, because the depth of the room was very short, only about six or seven feet deep.

This hut is different from the kitchen. Half of the three walls of the room are nailed with small eight-inch-square drawers, just like the rows of small drawers on the walls of the medical hall for dry medicinal materials. The half of the room is empty. There are two three-legged bamboo shelves that are as high as a person. The shelves are divided into six layers. There is a dustpan on each floor. There are various herbs scattered in the dustpan. There are five pottery stoves, each with a medicine pot stewed on it, and there are two pottery pots on the ground next to the pottery stove, and each pottery pot has a black lacquered body after being smoked by the fire. Turns out it's been a long time.

There is also a small two-foot-square wooden table in the room. The wooden table is full of large and small porcelain bottles, clay pots, and medicine mortars. The table is also full of piles. Everything is very clean. Because of frequent use.

There are large and small bamboo baskets hanging on the wall, and hemp ropes are hanging from the beams of the roof. There are five hemp ropes and five bamboo baskets hanging down.

The room is small and there are a lot of things, but everything is neat and clean, and it doesn't feel dirty at all, just like Si Jixia's people. Although the clothes are simple and old, they are so clean and tidy that people can't pick them out Something wrong with it.

"Miss Ah Nuan may have thought about why I don't see anything related to it in the hospital even though I know some medical skills." Si Jixia stood in front of the three-legged bamboo frame, picked out the moldy herbs from the dustpan, and said Wen Wen said indifferently, "Before Miss Ah Nuan came, this was the place where I sat most often and for the longest time."

It can't be said that he purposely hid this place from her, but he was hesitant. Now that she knows that he has medical skills and martial arts, this small medicine cabinet has no meaning to hide any more.

Just as Dong Nuangu raised his hand and shook the hemp rope hanging the bamboo basket, causing the bamboo basket at the lower end of the hemp rope to shake again and again, Si Jixia's eyes froze, and his voice suddenly became deep, "Someone is here."

Dong Nuangu's eyes also sank, she turned around and strode out of the small house covered by green, and quickly walked out of the narrow path, Si Jixia followed closely behind her.

Dongnuan knew that he didn't want anyone in the mansion to know the existence of that small room.

They managed to walk out of the narrow passageway behind the kitchen when they saw a middle-aged man in dark brown clothes walking into the backyard. When he saw Si Jixia, he stopped in his tracks and turned towards Si Jixia. Wei Wei cupped her hands and said, "My lord."

"Chief Guard Qin, is it true that my father is back?" Si Jixia didn't feel any surprise when he saw the person coming, he just glanced at him and said calmly.

Father?But there was a glimmer of light in Dong Nuan's clear eyes, Lord Yi?
"Yes, Your Majesty." Different from the attitude of anyone in this mansion towards Si Jixia, the middle-aged man in front of him whom Si Jixia called "Chief of Bodyguard Qin" was not respectful to him, but he was not at all respectful either. With disrespect, I just listened to him continue, "My lord returned to the palace at this hour today."

Si Jixia's eyes became a little darker, and when Chief Guard Qin's voice fell, his voice was still faint, "Father wants to see Ah Nuan?"

"My lord, Madam, please go to Jingyuan with your son." When the chief guard Tan said this, he put Dong Nuan in the front and Si Ji Xia in the back. He also took a special look at Dong Nuan, while Jing Jing The garden is exactly the courtyard of Lord Yi.

It's not that Dong Nuangu didn't understand Chief Guard Tan's intentions. Lord Yi wanted to see her, not Si Jixia, and why Lord Yi wanted to see her as soon as he returned to the mansion. It must have been Yu Shi or Si Kongming. Can't wait to complain to him.

Thinking of this, the corners of Dong Nuangu's mouth hooked slightly unnoticed, and the shallow arc disappeared in an instant. It happened that she was still thinking about when Lord Yi would return to the mansion and how she would go to see him. It seemed straightforward and saved her from thinking.

"Then I would like to ask Chief Bodyguard Tan to go back to my father first. He said that Ah Nuan and I will go there later." Si Jixia didn't say much, and didn't ask Qin Bodyguard Chang Yi why he was so anxious to see him and Dong Nuan Therefore, the expression on his face was always light and faint, as if he already knew that Lord Yi would invite them to the Jing Pavilion when he came back.

"Then I'll go back to the lord first." Captain Qin's self-proclaimed name is neither "little one" nor "subordinate", but "I". From the word "I", you can more or less hear him Although he didn't show disrespect to Si Jixia on the surface, his attitude towards Si Jixia in his heart was not necessarily much better than those servants in the mansion, "Please hurry up, my son, the prince doesn't like to wait for others."
