Chapter 31(1/2)

It is normal for a woman who has been married to have a fragrant dream. Su Jin didn't feel ashamed of her. When she woke up in the morning and recalled the situation in her dream, she was quite relish until Qiuju rushed over in panic and said that the lady was sick.

Su Jin climbed up all of a sudden. Compared with his daughter, men were all dirt!

Aman's little face was red and his forehead was hot. When he saw his mother, the little girl wanted her to hug her with tears in her eyes, which was pitiful.

Su Jin climbed onto the kang, hugged his daughter with heartache, and asked Ruyi to go and invite the doctor.

Xiao Zhen was about to leave the mansion in the front yard, but he hugged her last night and suppressed her. Xiao Zhen did not dare to stay in the mansion for a while, for fear of awkwardness when meeting.

"Sir, Miss is sick, please send someone to hire a doctor!" Ruyi ran over and said anxiously when she saw him.

Xiao Zhen's face changed drastically: "What's going on?"

Ruyi shook her head and said worriedly: "I was sick early in the morning, maybe it was the wind blowing last night?"

Xiao Zhen immediately sent Xu Wen to arrange for a doctor. He walked towards the backyard with a serious expression. He avoided suspicion when it was time to avoid suspicion, but he loved Aman as his biological daughter. If he didn't go and see her, Xiao Zhen was worried.

No one thought that Xu Wen and Xu Wu and the maids around Su Jin were wrong with him coming to the backyard. In their eyes, Xiao Zhen and Su Jinniang were already real families.

Aman and Qiuju lived in the east wing of the backyard. Xiao Zhen took Ache into the house and saw Su Jin sitting cross-legged on the kang, hugging Aman tightly in his arms. Aman covered his body with a quilt, only a red face was revealed, and tears were still lying in his big eyes. Seeing the two people, Aman softly expressed his grievances: "Godfather, I'm sick, brother, I'm sick."

My mother said that she was sick, but she was sick. Xiao Aman wanted her godfather and her brother coaxed her like her mother.

The sick girl has less bright eyes than usual and is completely depressed.

Xiao Zhen was so distressed that Ache climbed up the kang to coax his sister. Xiao Zhen came to the edge of the kang and lowered his head to ask the girl: "Where is Aman uncomfortable?"

Aman stretched out his little hand and touched his forehead. His mother also touched him here just now.

Xiao Zhen reached over. The man's slender big hand was used to holding swords and guns, and was strong and full of strength. However, Su Jin found that there were two new burns on the back of his hand. One was in the middle of the back of his hand, and it was broken. It was not very serious. The other was on the knuckle at the bottom of his little finger, which burned a bubble.

Su Jin looked up and glanced at him.

Xiao Zhen's expression remained unchanged, but his hands trembled, and he barely touched Aman's forehead and then took it back.

"Why didn't you say it earlier?" Xiao Zhen scolded Qiu Ju coldly.

Since Chunlan was retreated to the palace by Xiao Zhen, Xia Zhu, Qiu Ju and Dong Mei have not been afraid of Xiao Zhen. Faced with Xiao Zhen's anger, Qiu Ju knelt down and said tremblingly: "I deserve to die. I slept heavily last night. Miss, don't cry or make a fuss, I..."

Su Jin couldn't see it and interrupted Qiuju and said, "Forget it, you didn't mean it, you just take care of the lady more carefully in the future." After saying that, Su Jin looked at Xiao Zhen with a little complaint. The child is sick, what's the use of scaring the maid now? It's so nervous that Xiao Zhen just scolded someone, and his daughter shivered.

Xiao Zhen pursed his lips, his face was not so cold, and he looked at his goddaughter with concern.

Aman looked at his mother, his brother, and his godfather. The girl who was rarely surrounded by three people at the same time actually felt that it was good to be sick and was not very scared.

After the doctor came, he first asked about Aman's condition in the past two days, and then checked Aman. The doctor said, "Miss was frightened last night, causing a slight fever. I prescribe the prescription and take it once before going tonight. By the way, it is best for the lady to sleep with her tonight, so that she can comfort her before going to bed."

Su Jin's tense body finally relaxed.

Xiao Zhen also breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Su Jin and Aman and said, "My brother and sister take care of Aman, I will send my husband out and go home in the evening to see Aman again."

Su Jin glanced at his lower arms and said with a faint smile: "Sir, let's go. Regarding Aman, I have something to discuss with you."

When Xiao Zhen heard this, he did not move.

Su Jin asked Qiuju to send her to the doctor.

Qiuju, after the doctor left, Su Jin ordered Ruyi to find a needle.

Ruyi quickly took an embroidery needle.

"You go to the yard to guard it. No one is allowed to come in until I finish discussing with the adults." Su Jin said seriously while pinching the fine needle.

Ruyi immediately withdrew.

Xiao Zhen, Archer, and Aman all looked at Su Jin nervously.

Su Jin smiled and said to Archer while going downstairs: "Mom and the adults go to talk to him. Archer looks at his sister, and he will come back soon."

Archer nodded, Aman was lying in the quilt, blinking his eyes to see his godfather, and his mother went out.

There is also a small hall inside and outside the wing room. A warm couch is set up by the window, and walking out is the main hall.

Xiao Zhen followed Su Jin, feeling ups and downs, afraid that she would ask why she appeared so promptly last night. Fortunately, she said it was a discussion about Aman's affairs, and Xiao Zhen's face was quite calm.

Su Jin stopped.

Xiao Zhen's heart tightened.

Su Jin turned around, didn't look at him, pointed his chin at his right hand, and whispered: "Hand stretched out."

A particularly natural tone is like the master's instructions to his servants, and also like the intimacy of acquaintances.

Xiao Zhen subconsciously obeyed and reached halfway through, remembering the scalds left when he saved someone last night. He was afraid that he would scare her, so he wanted to retreat again.

Su Jin had quick eyes and quick hands, and grabbed his wrists. Under the fabric, the man's muscles were as hard as iron.

She was surprised, and Xiao Zhen was even more shocked: "Brother and sister..."

"Sir, don't move." Su Jin still didn't look up. He held his wrist with his left hand and let his little fingers turn towards her. He was ready. Su Jin raised his right hand, thumb and index finger, pinched the embroidery needle. Looking at Xiao Zhen's blister, Su Jin explained softly: "When I was a child, I often blistered, and it never stopped. It was very hindered. It was fine if I used the needle to pick it out and squeeze out the water."

As she said that, she slowly approached Xiao Zhen's bubble.

Xiao Zhen's hands began to tremble slightly, out of his control.

Su Jin finally raised his eyes and asked him curiously: "My lord has been through life and death on the battlefield. Are you still afraid of a small needle?"

Xiao Zhen had already opened his eyes and tentatively shrank his hands: "Thank you, my brother and sister for your concern, I will do it myself."

The man's face was cold, and it was impossible to tell whether he was not used to being close to women or was angry about her boldness. But Su Jin was bold. If she fell in love with this man, she had to take care of him when he was injured. Unless Xiao Zhen clearly stated that he didn't like her like this, she would never stop because of his scary cold face.

He lowered his head, and Su Jin chuckled: "When it comes to dancing with swords and guns, I am not as good as an adult. How to use embroidery needles, the adults are not as good as me."

Xiao Zhen wanted to refuse, but Su Jin said "Don't move" softly, and he really didn't move.

The man became honest and Su Jin focused on picking bubbles for him.

Xiao Zhen couldn't help but look over without hesitation.

When she heard that her daughter was sick, Su Jin got up in a hurry. She grabbed a hairpin and simply tied a black hair behind her head and left her careless. She didn't even wash her face. Her white face was filled with a blush that had just woken up. At this time, she lowered her head, her eyes were focused, and her long eyelashes were densely hung. Under her erect nose, her lips were plump and as bright as a freshly washed cherry. A trace of broken hair scattered, and the ends of her hair were thin and curved, almost touching her lips.

Xiao Zhen's throat rolled.

At this moment, a trace of strangeness came from my fingers, which was either pain or itch.

Su Jin pierced Xiao Zhen's blister, quickly took out the white embroidered handkerchief he carried with him and wrapped it around his little finger, and pressed it gently.

Seeing the clean embroidered handkerchief with the fragrance of a woman wet, Xiao Zhen finally reacted and blamed himself: "The laborer and sister-in-law have worked hard and have also dirty the handkerchief..."

Su Jin raised his eyebrows, tilted his head and glanced at him, and joked: "If you feel guilty, turn around and pay me a handkerchief."

If Su Jin was a famous lady, no matter who she liked, she would never say such words. But Su Jin was not a lady. She was an orphan who was not educated by her mother who grew up in the city. She stood on the streets to sell buns every day and listened to the teasing of men and gossip of women. Su Jin was not only bold, but also opened her mouth to talk.

But Xiao Zhen had never been with the women, and few women said whispers to him, so he thought Su Jin was really asking him for a new veil. However, because of Su Jin's actions, Commander Xiao forgot that it seemed inappropriate for a man to give a woman's handkerchief. He only remembered the principle of destroying people, property and making it a compensation.

"Okay." He promised in particular honesty.

Su Jin was stunned.

The little woman's watery Danfeng eyes stared at him. Xiao Zhen didn't know what she meant, but she was so angry that she was watching. She immediately pulled out her fingers and said goodbye: "I'll leave first, my brother and sister take good care of Aman." After that, Xiao Zhen quickly left, with a tall man and long legs, and disappeared in front of Su Jin's eyes in the blink of an eye.

Su Jin withdrew his gaze, looked at the handkerchief in his hand, and recalled Xiao Zhen’s expression when he made a promise, Su Jin suddenly laughed, and his shoulders trembled.

If Xiao Zhen agrees foolishly, it means he is interested in her. If Xiao Zhen agrees frivolously, it means he is familiar with Fengyue. But if Xiao Zhen agrees seriously, it means that he is too stupid and doesn't understand her meaning at all!

Su Jin smiled so hard that her stomach hurt. She wanted to see what kind of embroidered handkerchief Xiao Zhen would compensate her!

Xiao Zhen rode out of the mansion. In mid-August, the wind in Fengyang City was very cold and was blown by the wind for a while. Xiao Zhen suddenly frowned.

Give her a handkerchief? Isn’t it too much?

Embroidered handkerchiefs and sachets are both close-fitting items, and are usually used as tokens of love, right?

After reacting, Xiao Zhen suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. When he thought about it carefully, he felt that Su Jin was just joking at that time.

But he actually agreed!

Xiao Zhen swallowed. The gentleman promised, but he agreed but did not give it to him, because he was afraid that his brother and sister would really blame him for breaking his promise and giving it to him. What's that mean?

All day long, Xiao Zhen was having a headache about this problem, and he felt that the sun that had been slow to set, and today he went down the mountain very quickly!

Xiao Zhen got on his horse and returned to the city. There were shops on both sides of the main street. As Xiao Zhen walked, he saw a "Qiqiao Pavilion" that specialized in finished embroidery work.

Xiao Zhen did not stop, holding the reins in his big hand, hesitating while walking.

Otherwise, buy an embroidered handkerchief first? If Su Jin asks him for it, it means that she is really asking for compensation. The embroidered handkerchief is just a plea, and it is not a big deal to give it. If Su Jin forgets this, it means she is joking, and he forgets it, and he thinks he has made a fool of himself.

After making a decision, Xiao Zhen told Xu Wu who followed him: "I have something to do. You go home first, and I will return in two quarters of an hour."

Xu Wu left first.

Xiao Zhen rode on the horse and made sure that Xu Wu was walking away. Then he turned his head and went to Qiqiao Pavilion.

Since Qiqiao Pavilion sells embroidery, it contains colorful women's objects. Even the owner is a young boss. Fortunately, it is getting late and the shop is about to close, and there are no customers. Otherwise, the tall and upright Xiao Zhen will definitely attract the attention and discussion of the big girl and the little wife.

"What does Jun Ye want to buy? We have veils and sachets here." The proprietress was very eye-catching. When she saw the guests' faces majestic, she saved the courtesy and asked directly.

Xiao Zhen said in a deep voice: "The best embroidered handkerchief."

The best one must not be placed on the surface. The boss's wife responded happily, then went to the counter and searched for a while, took out a long and exquisite wooden box and placed it on the counter. The boss's wife opened the lid, and there were four embroidered handkerchiefs in the box covered with white gauze, namely peach pink, crimson blue, and lilac purple.

The boss's wife smiled and said, "These four are the best embroidered handkerchiefs in my shop, all of which are Shu embroidery. Look at this embroiderer, the embroiderer in the palace may not be able to compare with them."

Xiao Zhen couldn't understand it even though he thought these four were indeed very beautiful, at least they looked more expensive than Su Jin's current use.
