The county horse is a medicine jar

The day after he lost the jade pendant, Lin Sishen fell ill. He suffered from the wind and cold at night, and lay groggy on the bed all day long, unable to regain his energy.

The people in the General's Mansion are all used to the young master falling ill every now and then, but every time the young master falls ill, the servants in the mansion will suffer accordingly, because at such times, the always good-tempered old man People become cloudy and uncertain.

Bowls of prepared medicinal soup and food were delivered to Lin Sishen's room, if Lin Sishen refused to drink, the servants would be terrified, for fear that the old lady would lose her temper.

In fact, it's no wonder that Lin Sishen didn't want to drink the medicine, the old lady was really frightened, she ran out of the medicine for curing the disease, and she even asked Lin Sishen to drink it with all kinds of precious supplements.

Not to mention that Lin Sishen is sick now, even if she is well on weekdays, the old lady will also cook her a medicinal diet to replenish qi and blood. She was born into a medicine pot by the old lady.

Although in private she asked Mo Zhu to pour those medicines into Lanhua, but it didn't prevent Lin Sishen from feeling sick whenever he smelled the medicine.

This time, the illness was so sudden that Lin Sishen lay limp on the bed, and vaguely heard that someone opened the door and came in. She thought it was her grandmother who came back to persuade her to take medicine, so she curled up into a ball and covered herself with a quilt.

The room was quiet, and Lin Sishen heard footsteps stop by the bed, she frowned and moaned, and said in a hoarse voice, "Unless you go and buy the chestnut cake from Fengniang's house, I won't drink this medicine even if you kill me." gone."

After the words were finished, the room was still very quiet. Lin Sishen thought that her grandmother was angry, and her temper suddenly softened. She was about to get up to coax her, but she heard a cold voice beside her.

"really?"

The sound was like spring water jingling in a mountain stream, or like strings being plucked suddenly, it was so sweet that people's hearts trembled when they heard it.

Lin Sishen's dizzy mind instantly came to his senses, and he made an oolong without seeing her clearly.

It was already dark, and there were no candles lit in the house, only the lantern hanging at the door dimly illuminated the house.

Lin Sishen opened his eyes, only to feel a haze in front of his eyes, and vaguely saw a woman in white standing on the side of the bed with her arms folded, her white clothes were like snow and her silk was like ink, she was as graceful as a fairy.

Who else could it be besides Shen Qingwan?

Lin Sishen struggled to half sit up, hugged the quilt to his chest, looked left and right, the door was ajar, Lan Qing and Lu Yin were not there, never thought that Shen Qinghou came here alone.

She touched her forehead that was still sweating, and her voice was hoarse: "Why is the princess here?"

Shen Qinghou's eyes fell on Lin Sishen's pale and thin face, he frowned slightly, and said slowly: "I heard that you are sick, come and have a look."

Lin Sishen always felt a little awkward being alone in a room with Shen Qinghou, not to mention that she was still sick and weak.

She lowered her head, her tone was polite and distant, while she was replying, she muttered in her heart to ask Shen Qinghou to leave early: "It's just a cold, it's not a serious problem."

Shen Qinghou stood with his hands behind his back and did not approach, but asked softly: "I just heard you say that if you don't buy chestnut cakes from Fengniang's house, you won't drink medicine?"

Lin Sishen blushed, but fortunately the light in the room was too dark to see through, she explained with an embarrassed smile: "Feng Niang left Beijing a long time ago, what I said was just to embarrass grandma on purpose, lest she coax me to take medicine."

Shen Qinghou curled her thin lips when she heard the words, and asked again: "Are you talking about the small shop selling chestnut cakes in the west of the city in the early years?"

Lin Sishen raised his eyes in surprise, and said in surprise, "You still remember?"

I don't know if it was dizziness or the light was too dim, but Lin Sishen seemed to see a smile on Shen Qinghou's face.It was a gentle and warm smile, not as unreachable as usual.

It's just that the smile disappeared like a flash in the pan, Lin Sishen didn't even see it clearly, Shen Qinghou returned to his usual coldness and alienation: "You took me there once."

Talking about the past, Lin Sishen felt a little emotional, she smiled and said: "That was a long time ago, ten years have passed in the blink of an eye."

When Lin Sishen was a child, he craved the chestnut cakes made by Xifeng’s mother’s family in Chengcheng.

But daddy said she was a boy, how could she eat sweets all day long like a girl, so he asked mother to buy her less chestnut cakes.

Later, when Shen Qinghou came to live in the mansion temporarily, Lin Sishen took her and sneaked out of the mansion to buy one time.

Just as Lin Sishen was lost in memories, Shen Qinghou suddenly spoke.

"That time, you stole General Lin's purse and took me out of the mansion to buy chestnut cakes. After you came back, you were punished by General Lin and knelt in the ancestral hall for an hour. I remember wrongly."

Lin Sishen coughed lightly, and said helplessly: "You remember clearly, you were young and ignorant at that time, but I not only knelt for an hour, but also received two whips."

After ten years, Shen Qinghou remembered the embarrassing things for her clearly.

Lin Sishen leaned on the bed rail, hugged a ball of quilt in his arms, raised his eyes with a smile, "It's a good thing you begged for me at that time, otherwise, according to Dad's temper, two whips would not be able to relieve his anger."

After finishing the sentence, Shen Qinghou didn't speak, she was standing in front of Lin Sishen not far away, she couldn't see the expression on her face clearly, only those deep and clear eyes flickered slightly in the dark light.

Could it be that she didn't want to talk about the past anymore, Lin Sishen touched his hot forehead and asked tentatively: "The princess is here today, is there something wrong?"

Shen Qinghou nodded lightly, then raised his hand: "I'm here to give you this thing."

Only then did Lin Sishen realize that Shen Qinghou was actually holding a palm-sized carved wooden box in his hand.

She didn't reach out to pick it up, but just smiled and teased: "You don't get paid for nothing, what does the princess mean by that? Could it be that he wants to give me some magic medicine to cure my illness?"

Shen Qinghou spoke concisely, and opened the wooden box directly: "Jade pendant."

Lin Sishen looked intently, and was startled at once, only to see a piece of warm and high-quality sapphire lying in the wooden box, at first glance, it was exactly the same as the protective jade pendant she wore every day.

She leaned over to pick it up, and said in surprise, "Why is it here with you?"

The jade pendant looked almost exactly the same as her original one, and Lin Sishen even found a tiny crack in the corner of the jade pendant when he looked closer.

If it weren't for the strange feeling in her hands, she might not be able to tell the difference.

Shen Qinghou's eyes were cold, and his tone was the same: "The jade pendant was lost when you returned home the day before yesterday. I entrusted a craftsman to forge a piece, and it was consecrated by the abbot of Xichen Temple. It should be able to fool the old lady."

How could she put so much effort into doing this, just to prevent her grandmother from worrying about finding out that the jade pendant was lost?

Lin Sishen's heart moved, he raised his eyes to look at her, hesitant to say: "Why are you..."

Shen Qinghou turned to the beginning, she didn't give Lin Sishen a chance to see the expression on her face, but said in a cold tone, "If you find the jade pendant in the future, you can just exchange it."

Lin Sishen was still silent in shock, when she recovered, Shen Qinghou had already left.

After she left, Lin Sishen lay on the bed, touching the piece of warm jade in his hand, feeling an indescribably complicated feeling in his heart.

Shen Qinghou is really a meticulous woman. In the past two days, even her grandmother and mother hadn't noticed that her jade pendant was missing, but she did.

That sent someone almost killed her, so that she lost the jade pendant, so she specially made an identical one for her.Is it because of guilt, or because I want to buy people's hearts.

Although she had some doubts about Shen Qinghou's motives for doing this, she did cause Lin Sishen a trouble, and if her grandmother found out that the jade pendant was missing, she would be worried for a while.

Lin Sishen raised her head and let out a long sigh. After lying on the bed for a whole day, her body was sore. She got up, put on her coat and put on a jade pendant, and walked to the window.

Pushing open the window, Lin Sishen's eyes naturally fell on the Liuguang Pavilion not far away.

The light in Liuguangge was on, and from a distance, he could still see a white shadow reading a book with the light on by the window. Lin Sishen stared blankly with his chin propped up, not sure if he was distracted or looking at the person opposite.
