[Ancient Style] The notorious minister turned out to be beautiful, strong and miserable

Lingnan is near the sea, and there are many rivers.

Among the [-] counties in south of the Five Ridges, Xiang County is the most, which has suffered from frequent floods since ancient times.

Half a year ago, Xiangjun transferred a Liu Taishou from the capital. He heard that he was a minister capable of controlling water. Famine.

Now that the north is suffering from military disasters, and refugees are pouring into Lingnan, only one of the eighteen counties in Lingnan has opened sheds and set up porridge to help them.

Taishou Liu is still young, with white jade cheeks, the heels of his shoes are on the soles of his socks, his eyebrows and eyes are curved all day long, and he is accompanied by a servant named Fu Bao.

Mrs. Wang is a well-known matchmaker in Xiang County, and in all the marriages of the rich Jia in the local area, she is hired with a lot of money to show up.

Mrs. Wang went to the prefect's mansion to marry the noble gentry's daughter. She was waiting in the side hall, but she saw the prefect Liu came out from the inside in a panic. Someone doused her body with medicine residue, and her hair was dripping with black juice. But there was no anger on his face, he wiped his hair randomly with the sleeve of the green cloth, and then he noticed Mrs. Wang, who stepped forward to salute, her wrinkled old face leaned forward, "Mr. Wang is here today to be a matchmaker for Your Excellency... "

Taishou Liu raised his head and smiled captivatingly, "There is a fierce wife in the family, so I really dare not take concubines."

Wang Pozi stared at the eunuch's head full of medicine and suddenly realized.

Chen Guan, a servant of the prefect's mansion, knew that there was no such thing as a fierce wife, but she was clearly a weak and sick son.

Chen Guan entered this mansion earlier than Liu Taishou.

The original owner of the mansion was surnamed Chen, who was questioned by the court because of poor water control, and they ushered in a new master.

The sick son was carried into the prefect's mansion by the prefect Liu from a carriage full of fragrance in the middle of a quiet night.

If it wasn't for the ups and downs of the chest that were still struggling to breathe, Chen Guan almost thought it was a beautiful corpse.

Chen Guan has never seen a more beautiful man or woman than this sick man in his life like an ant.

Like a layer of pale painted skin that has been peeled off and draped over his body, he can become a bone-sucking spirit when he opens his eyes.

Liu Taishou went to the back hall every day when he left the courtroom, and the sick son lived in the back hall.There is a medicine room next to the sick man's bedroom. The medicinal materials in the medicine room are extremely precious, especially the almost extinct Yewu vine. It is poisonous to the lungs.

Liu Taishou fed medicine by mouth every day, the sick man never let anyone else do anything close to him, after ten days, the sick man finally managed to lift his eyelids on the sick bed, revealing a pair of glass-like eyeballs covered by lash feathers.

Chen Guan was serving the decoction, and saw that Liu Taishou was relieved and said to Fu Bao, "It's not a useless effort."

Fu Bao dragged out his voice, "When the young master wakes up, I will tell you the medicine every day, sir."

Liu Taishou had hooks hidden in his eyes, but the corners of his lips curled up and said, "I can't ask for it."

The drooping eyelids of the collapsed person seemed to be wrapped in a cloud of hazy mist. He was extremely sleepy, and fell into a deep sleep again. Liu Taishou carefully smoothed the sick man's hair like withered grass.

Ten days after ten days, when the spring flowers in south of the Five Ridges were all over the mountains and plains, the sick man gradually got better.

When the sick son was really sober, it happened that Chen Guan was on duty.

The bright moon hangs high in the sky, and the moonlight shines on the flourishing weeds in the courtyard.

Chen Guanshou stood outside the sick man's bedroom, with a leaf in his mouth, counting the grasshoppers on the ground boredly.

Suddenly he heard a noise inside, pushed the door open and entered, saw the sick young man woke up at some point, struggled to get off the bed, but because his hands and feet were so weak, he fell down on the cold blue bricks.

The snow-white obscene clothes were messily wrapped around the slender shoulders, and the moonlight that penetrated the window cast a layer of soft light on the bare skin. red.Her disheveled hair covered her slightly upturned eyes, and she breathed weakly in the spring night with insects singing and birds singing, her slender waist seemed to be broken.

Chen Guan stepped forward cautiously, and gently brushed away the long hair that covered the eyebrows of the sick young man, and saw a pair of dark pupils.

"Where is this?" The sick man said with difficulty, his voice was like a cold stone scratching against the window rail.

Chen Guanping replied, "This is Master Liu's residence."

The sick young man didn't speak any more, he fell to the ground, but got up weakly, coughed twice, and motioned for Chen Guan to help him up, as if he was pampered.Chen Guan helped him up. For those of them who are used to heavy labor, the sick man's weight is no heavier than a bundle of wooden stakes.

Chen Guan helped him to the bed lit with plum blossom incense, but he heard the sick man ask in a hoarse voice, "Where did Master Liu go?"

Chen Guan replied, "Master Liu is going to deal with the refugees who suffered from the flood."

The sick young man hesitated and asked, "Why is there a flood in the capital?"

Chen Guan replied, "Young Master, I'm afraid I remembered wrongly, this is Lingnan."

Hearing the words, the sick young man coughed violently, and this time he couldn't hold it back anymore, he vomited a mouthful of blood, the bright red dyed through the pure white embroidered skirt of the dark pattern, splashing down on his chest, his head was half tilted on Chen Guan On his shoulders, a full head of withered hair fell down, and the faint medicinal fragrance was mixed with the rust-like fishy smell.

Chen Guan maintained a stiff posture, and placed the unconscious man on the mandarin duck pillow, his back was soaked in hot sweat and sticky.

There was a noise outside, and Chen Guan knew that it was Taishou Liu who came back, so he greeted him respectfully. Liu Taishou walked very quickly, and heard Chen Guan say that he fainted after waking up, his slender Danfeng eyes narrowed, "he asked what?"

Chen Guan replied truthfully, Liu Taishou waved his hands and said, "It's nothing, just step back, I'm here."

Before Chen Guan stepped back, he looked back by accident, and saw the way Taishou Liu looked at the sick young man, like a man looking at a woman.

On the day Mrs. Wang came to the mansion, the sick man woke up, and the sick man overturned the medicine bowl and splashed all over his head.The sick young man lost his temper and hurt himself by splashing other people's hot medicine. His face was paler than that of a dead man, he leaned against the beautiful woman, panting and coughing.

Taishou Liu was not angry, he said all kinds of good things, but the sick young man never said a word.
