Chapter 14 He took great pains
"I'm not busy. I can always find time when I want to relax."
If you really want to be with someone, you can always find time no matter how busy you are. Those who say they don’t have time don’t have the heart to do so.
"Oh."
Yu Tongchen asked Jiang Xi to bring the chess pieces and put them on the table.
"I discovered that the names of your subordinates are all names of medicinal herbs." Shu Shiyu said, remembering the names he had called in the past.
Although Shu Shiyu did not become a doctor due to his long-term illness, he still knew some medicinal herbs.
Ziling, clears heat and dries dampness, clears away lung heat, purges fire and detoxifies, clears heat and stabilizes the fetus.
Jing Mo, applied externally to stop bleeding and reduce swelling.
Gracilaria is used for internal heat, phlegm-accumulated goiter, and difficulty urinating.
"It's easy to remember. When I call them, I can remember the effects of those herbs."
"Oh." Shu Shiyu nodded and stared at the chess pieces on the board.
"It's winter now. I saw you came with only a simple suitcase. Do you have any winter clothes?"
She raised her eyes and rubbed the smooth chess piece in her hand with her fingertips. "No, I will ask Bai Tong to buy some in two days."
"Let her go today, otherwise you won't be able to go out tomorrow. In previous years, the valley got cold quickly after the beginning of winter."
"Okay." She nodded and asked, "Can I go out tomorrow?"
"Yes, but I will come back after walking around the corridor for a quarter of an hour."
"Why is the time getting shorter?"
"Winter is not as good as autumn. You are weak and afraid of the cold, so you shouldn't stay outside for too long."
"Ok."
"Why can't you stop?"
Shu Shiyu glanced at him sideways, "You ask even though you already know the answer. I will lose no matter which position I take."
"Play here." He chuckled, reached out and took a white piece from her chess box and placed it on the board.
The next moment, the situation reversed and it was his black pieces that were at a disadvantage.
Shu Shiyu stared at the chessboard with bright eyes, "Can we play it this way?"
"Well, you have only just started playing chess, so just play more. I have a chess manual, which I will send to you this afternoon."
She looked away from the chessboard and looked at him, "Are you coming this afternoon?"
"Well, you're not welcome?" He dropped the chess piece onto the board.
"You're welcome." After a while, she whispered back, and looked intently at the chess pieces on the board again.
By the end, she felt a little tired, with fatigue showing between her eyebrows and eyes.
"If you are tired, take a rest. We will continue tomorrow. Do you want to have lunch with me?"
He put the chess piece back into the chess box and said.
Shu Shiyu couldn't help but look up at him. His eyes were calm and he didn't rush her. He just waited quietly for her answer.
"want."
"The chess game will not continue. We will continue tomorrow." He stood up and touched her head. "Qingqing, have a good rest."
"What did you call me?"
"Qingqing."
"Did your grandfather tell you?"
"Well, I'm leaving now. I'll come back at lunch."
Shu Shiyu lay on the table for a while, gently moving the chess pieces in the chess box. The sound of the jade chess pieces colliding echoed in the silent room.
Bai Tong pushed the door open and she glanced sideways to look.
"What happened? Why did you take so long to eat breakfast?"
"Su Mu said he couldn't teach those stupid people, so he asked me to teach them." Bai Tong frowned, "They are really stupid. I am so angry. No matter how hard I try, they won't teach me!"
"I have to teach them this afternoon. I promised too early, miss. I regret it."
"But you taught me to do what I said, and I can't go back on my word."
The last chess piece in the palm of my hand fell into the chess box, and the sound of jade colliding was particularly pleasant.
Shu Shi's eyes moved slightly.
He took great pains.
……
It was almost time for lunch when Ziling knocked on the door, looking for Bai Tong.
Bai Tong said with a bitter face, "I need to get lunch for my young lady."
"Sumu will bring it. Master said he will eat with Miss Shu today, so don't worry about it."
"Miss..." Bai Tong looked at Shu Shiyu.
Shu Shiyu's eyes flashed with helplessness, "Go ahead, I can do it."
Just cooperate with him. Bai Tong is here just to keep an eye on how much she eats at each meal.
Not long after Bai Tong and Zi Ling left, there was another knock on the door.
"Enter."
Yu Tongchen pushed the door open and came in, followed by Su Mu who was carrying a lunch box, and he also had one in his hand.
Su Mu put down his things and left.
Yu Tongchen picked up the chessboard on the table and put it aside, then took out the food from the lunch box.
He served her a bowl of soup, "Adenophora Root, Polygonatum Odoriferum and Duck Soup, drink some first to warm your stomach."
"Thank you."
Shu Shiyu picked up the spoon and lowered his head to drink the soup.
"Is it delicious? Why are you keeping your head down?" He scooped a small bowl of rice for her and placed it in front of her.
She nodded and said it was indeed delicious.
"Have some rice." He used the serving chopsticks to pick up some food for her. "Eat until you are 70% full. You can have a small amount of cakes after lunch."
Then, we had a quiet meal.
After the meal, Wangyou brought the chess manual over.
"Don't look at it for too long, it's exhausting."
"it is good."
The Pearl of All Worlds looked at the outrageous actions of its host and felt quite hopeless. Out of sight, out of mind, it floated away to sleep.
We can't stop it, so what else can we do?
Anyway, nothing will happen to the task object here.
Yu Tongchen returned to the house, wrote the letter, sealed it and called Chuanbai.
"Send it to Meng Ziqian."
"Yes."
In the next few days, Yu Tongchen went to have meals with Shu Shiyu every day, without missing a single meal.
Bai Tong looked at the clumsy secret guards in front of him and almost wanted to curse, but he held back in the end.
This is on someone else's territory.
But as time went by, she came to her senses.
These guys have obviously learned it, but they are pretending to be stupid and pretending they can’t learn it!
Bai Tong looked at their poor acting skills expressionlessly and said, "Play more."
Nanxing put down the ladle in his hand awkwardly and gave up the idea of pouring a large spoonful of water into the pot.
"Since you don't want to learn, then I won't teach you." Bai Tong said and turned away.
"Boss, what should we do?" Nanxing looked at Shang Lu.
Shang Lu was silent.
Jiang Xi patted his shoulder and said, "Can you act more fake?"
It's full of loopholes. It would be fine if it failed once, but it failed so many times, it would be strange if it wasn't discovered.
"You acted very well? Who poured a box of salt in there?"
Gracilaria touched his nose.
"How do I explain this to the master?"
Su Mu cleaned up the mess silently. Anyway, this task had nothing to do with him, so he didn't need to act.
Bai Tong returned to the main house angrily and complained to Shu Shiyu, "They are all playing tricks on me! They didn't even want to learn how to cook, how could they be so mean?!"
Shu Shiyu put down the book in his hand and patted her on the back. "They are just following orders."
Although Bai Tong was angry these days, he was also much more lively. He was no longer as nervous as before in the mansion, afraid of saying something wrong and being punished.
"Are you saying that they followed Divine Doctor Yu's advice and came to play tricks on me?" Bai Tong was not stupid either. "Why did Divine Doctor Yu send me away?"
Shu Shiyu didn't say anything.
"Miss, did Divine Doctor Yu treat you..." Bai Tong thought of Yu Tongchen's behaviors that could be said to be out of line.
Shu Shiyu looked at the words on the chessboard in his hand and said softly, "Maybe."
"What do you mean?"
"If they send you away again in the future, just pretend you didn't know and go."
"Oh."
This is the love of falling flowers and flowing water.
A few days later, Meng Ziqian stood in front of Yu Tongchen, exhausted, his eyes widened, and he said in disbelief: "You asked me to come all the way here just to let me cook for you?!"
"Yu Heguang, are you crazy or am I crazy?!"
