Chapter 287

In the court hall, there was still a great quarrel about who would preside over the heaven worship ceremony, and the movement of people around the palace became more secret and frequent. Different from the dangerous palaces, Qianyi hall is as clean as a paradise.

It was the 15th day again. Chen Jia went out of the palace with the eunuch he bought and brought back medicinal materials from his eldest brother Zhong Lihao.

It is rare that there is sunshine in winter and there is no wind in the yard. Xia Hou Yu comes out to bask in the sun wrapped in a fur blanket and squints slightly to see Zhong Liqing grinding medicine in the yard. He noticed that the medicine he brought this time seemed different from before, so he asked, "did you change the medicine?"

Chen Jia replied: "well, the effect of the initial prescription is gradually slowing down. Your physique has improved and you can stand better medicine."

Xia Houyu went closer and saw that many ginseng tablets, dangshen, pilose antler and other things appeared in the medicine can. They are expensive medicinal materials. His mind moved and asked, "hasn't anyone found out about Zhong Li's long-term purchase of medicine?"

Chen jiaa: "my brother has rules and regulations. At present, everything is very appropriate."

Xia Houyu nodded and asked, "we see that these medicinal materials are very valuable. Is there enough silver in Hou's house?"

Chen Jia grinds the medicine slightly, continues to move and says, "I don't want to deceive you. My brother says that Da sou has taken some embroidery work to do and subsidize the family. In fact, the Hou family doesn't have much money. The money for buying medicine recently is the dowry at the bottom of the box."

Xia Houyu's eyes were dim. She pulled out the jade hairpin on her head and said, "take this first. I still have some valuable things, but it's inconvenient to take it. Tell your brother that I'll hold on until the new year. After the new year, I'll find a way to get him silver."

Chen Jia nodded, counted the days, and said, "the new year is coming in more than half a month, but there is no new year flavor in this palace."

Xia Houyu seemed to think of something and said, "at this time in previous years, all palaces and halls have long begun to collect new year goods and hang red lanterns. This year, I'm afraid the Ministry of Rites has neglected the new year's ceremony because of the great ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven."

"I think it's because the woman in charge of the Imperial Palace doesn't care about the new year. No matter how big the imperial palace is, it's just a family. The atmosphere in the family depends on women. The virtuous imperial concubine has a headache about the worship of the seventh Prince recently. She doesn't have the mind to take care of the new year. The day for the worship of the heaven is uncertain, and the Imperial Palace won't be peaceful all day."

Xia Houyu was slightly distracted by Zhong Liqing's words. For him, the palace never had the concept of home. He couldn't help asking, "how do you celebrate the new year when you leave the Marquis?"

Chen Jia replied: "In the past, when my parents were still alive, they were the busiest. My eldest brother and sister-in-law were responsible for buying new year's goods. Anyone who wanted to eat something had to report in advance. The servants in the yard also gave them holidays and let them go home for reunion. Therefore, on New year's Eve, there were only a few people in our family. My sister-in-law and my mother made dumplings together. My father and I went to have a firefight. My eldest brother was greedy and always drank three before dinner Get drunk... "

Xia Houyu looked envious when she heard the speech. The look of envy didn't stay long, and gradually turned into unspeakable sadness.

Chen Jia glanced at him, and her heart sank. I'm afraid Xia Houyu has never enjoyed normal family warmth. Chen Jia's heart moved. In that case, it's up to him to make arrangements for this year's Spring Festival.

Chen Jia hid this thought as a little secret and took a medicine bath for Xia Houyu as usual in the evening.

After more than a month of recuperation, Xia Houyu struggled to grow a few kilograms of meat, but she was still surprisingly thin. While calculating the dosage, Chen Jia said, "start rehabilitation with me tomorrow."

Xia Houyu stepped into the medicine bucket. Now his action is much more convenient than before. He can step into the high medicine bucket independently without a footstool. He was immersed in the bath bucket. He smelled the medicine for a long time and was not used to it. When he heard Zhong Liqing talking, he asked, "what is rehabilitation?"

Chen Jia replied: "before, your body was too soft to move much. Now with a month's foundation, you can start to slowly restore muscle function. Exercise according to certain methods and stages is rehabilitation."

Xia Houyu only said, "I'll do what you say."

Chen Jia smiled, poured out the herbs in her hand, and tried the water temperature. When she felt that it was ok, she went to sit at the desk and write. Xia Houyu ordered him to move his low table. If they had nothing to do, they could stay in the warm room all day, and they were busy here.

Xia Hou Yu soaked in the bath bucket and habitually looked at the figure of Zhong Liqing. This atmosphere was very warm and comfortable, making him look very lazy.

After taking the medicine bath, have a good night's sleep.

The next morning, Chen Jia called Xia Houyu up. They didn't get out of the warm room, so they did some simple exercises with the only furniture in the room.

Chen Jia has seen Xia Houyu's legs. He used to walk unsteadily because he was too thin and his muscles had no strength. Now he makes up a little weight, but his muscles tend to atrophy. He must persevere and recover day by day.

The low tables, cabinets, pedals, beds and other furniture in the warm room were used by Chen Jia one by one to instruct Xia Houyu to do simple leg lifting, jogging and so on.

The seemingly simple movements are very difficult for Xia Houyu. His muscles always have no strength. If you walk slowly for a little longer, you have to rest for a moment. You need to hold the people around you to ensure stability.

Chen Jia was just tall enough to carry his shoulder, so she made Xia Houyu's human crutch for a long time.

Generally speaking, rehabilitated patients are always irritable and discouraged, but Xia Houyu is not at all. He is very patient. No matter how many times he does boring actions, he can complete them with quality and quantity within his ability. But after walking for a long time, he was a little anxious this time. He took a big step and almost wanted to trip!

Chen Jia was startled and helped him quickly. As a result, they both tripped over the low stool and fell to the ground! At the moment of Chen jiaqianjun's departure, he didn't forget to serve Xia Houyu. At last, he made another human meat mat and didn't hurt Xia Houyu.

It's just that the falling posture is a little ambiguous.

Xia Houyu was up and he was down. The two faces were facing each other. At one moment, the tips of their noses rubbed each other, and each other's breath hit each other's face, making people blush and heartbeat.

Xia Hou Yu was stunned for a moment. He quickly stood up with one side of the table. His face was a little hot and said, "I'm sorry."

In the ancient world with distinct dignity and inferiority, the master never had the obligation to apologize to the slaves. What's more, Xia Houyu was educated by the royal family. Even if he was depressed and frustrated in the palace, he always stood upright in the face of other slaves. However, Xia Houyu naturally said the three words of Zhong Liqing's apology. Obviously, she had already regarded Zhong Liqing as a confidant in her heart.

"Didn't crush you?" Xia Houyu asked uneasily.

Chen Jia quietly glanced at the corner of her mouth and said, "no, I'm not so delicate." he stood up on the table and pretended not to see Xia Houyu's red ears. However, it seems that Xia Houyu in this world has not been in love yet?

Chen Jia thought of this and smiled in her heart.
