Chapter 11: younger brother

Chapter 11 Brother

Fuyun Courtyard is a courtyard with three entrances. Entering from the Yimen Gate, there are chashou verandahs on both sides, and a hallway in the middle. There is a rosewood shelf and marble screen. house.

"Mei Mei, you are tired too, let Nanny Tian take you back to the yard to rest!" Yuan said, and stopped.

Xie Zhiwei's attitude towards her suddenly changed drastically. From the previous love and indifference, to being willing to call her "mother", Yuan Shi was really flattered. How dare she ask Xie Zhiwei to send her back to the room.

"I'm going to see my brother." Xie Zhiwei already looked into the room, his eyes full of expectation.

Xie Yuanbai, the eldest son, now has only one daughter and one son. Xie Zhiwei is born of Yuan's spouse Cui, and five-year-old Xie Mingxi is born of Yuan. Because of different mothers, Xie Zhiwei was not close to his younger brother before.

In the past, upon hearing Xie Zhiwei's voice, Xie Mingxi would rush out like a little leopard. Even if Xie Zhiwei didn't want to see him, he would call "sister" flatteringly.

But today, the house was extremely quiet.

"What happened?" Xie Zhiwei couldn't help but think about her previous life. Not long afterward, she heard that Xie Mingxi had burnt out her brain. Her heart skipped a beat and she walked quickly towards the house.

"Eldest Wife, Eldest Miss, Fifth Young Master...is sick!"

Xie Mingxi's nursing mother, Lianniang, rushed out from the east wing and knelt down in the yard with a plop.

Xie Zhiwei's legs gave way and he almost fell down. He lifted his skirt and ran.

In the second room of the east wing, Xie Mingxi slept on a canopy bed carved with huanghuali flowers, covered with a satin quilt with eight clusters of fish pond patterns on a blue background, revealing a small face, eyes closed, flushed with heat, It's about to catch fire.

"Brother Xi!" Yuan Shi rushed over, seeing her son like this, fell to the bed with a thud, and almost fainted from crying.

Nurse Tian was also taken aback, but at this moment, no one could remember to ask Lianniang, why didn't anyone go to Famen Temple to report that the Fifth Young Master was burnt like this? The old lady's people only cared about getting them back home, and didn't even mention Fifth Young Master's words.

Xie Mingxi's tiny body had already started to twitch. Seeing this, Yuan Shi also trembled, and instinctively shouted, "Where's the doctor? Get someone to call for a doctor!"

Xie Zhiwei lifted the thick quilt covering Xie Mingxi's body, and ordered, "Bring a pot of spirits, and prepare a basin and a cotton handkerchief."

Xie Zhiwei's voice was very calm, and this calmness immediately comforted the people in the room, and Yuan Shi came back to his senses, "Quick, quick, go and get the jar Yuhuchun!"

The women and maids in the room got busy in an orderly manner, and became much quieter.

Xie Zhiwei sat down on the edge of the bed, held Xie Mingxi's small hand, put three fingers on his pulse, stared at his younger brother, Yuxue's lovely face, she still remembered his bright eyes like black grapes, but this At that time, his eyes were closed, his teeth were clenched, his breathing was short, and his lips were purple.

"Mei Mei, your brother..." Yuan barely calmed down, looked at Xie Zhiwei nervously, trying to read something from her face.

Tears welled up in Xie Zhiwei's eyes. His younger brother's intelligence remained at the five-year-old stage. Ten years later, the Xie family encountered a catastrophe. Xie Zhiwei wanted to save a line of blood for the Xie family, and used all his strength to arrange for Xie Mingxi to escape. Yes, Xie Mingxi refused.

"What if my sister dies if I run away? Is death scary? If it is not scary, I am not afraid of death. If it is scary, will my sister be afraid?"

She was in the cold palace, and she burst into tears when she heard the words brought by the dark guard.

Everyone said that my brother is a fool, only she understands that my brother is not stupid, he is too pure and kind.

"Bring the wine!" Xie Zhi ordered in a cold voice.

Nurse Tian was waiting by the bed with a copper basin and a cotton handkerchief. Xie Zhiwei poured all the wine into the copper basin. For a while, the room was filled with a strong smell of wine. Xie Zhiwei ordered the window to be opened again.

Although it is early autumn, it is already chilly. Xie Zhiwei ordered to open the window. Yuan was worried that her son would be frozen, but she didn't stop her. Xie Zhiwei was able to save the queen, so she must be able to save her son. She took a few steps back to make room in front of the bed, and only watched nervously. with.

Xie Zhiwei took off her brother's clothes with her own hands. The chubby brother in her memory was so thin that there was not much flesh left. But at this time, she couldn't think too much of it. After dipping a cotton kerchief in wine, she wiped her brother's forehead, neck, armpits and other parts. During the process of volatilizing the wine, the heat from his body was taken away.

This way to cool down is what Xie Zhiwei saw in a booklet of her mother’s dowry in her previous life. The only thing that came into her hands were those books. She kept them and accompanied her through ten years of limbo.

Obviously the room was filled with chill, but within a short while, her forehead was covered with sweat.

Time passed unknowingly, and I don't know how long it took, Xie Mingxi calmed down slowly, and the redness on his little face faded a little. Xie Zhiwei took Xie Mingxi's pulse again, and when the pulse stabilized a little, she was relieved just now.

"Sister..." Xie Mingxi slightly opened his black and white eyes, his original bright eyes were a little confused, but when he saw Xie Zhiwei, his eyes lit up a little, and a little smile appeared on his small face, looking very weak, he His lips moved, trying to say something, but his throat was so sore that he couldn't open his mouth.

Xie Zhiwei held Xie Mingxi's hand tightly, and seeing the joy in his eyes, tears blurred her eyes, "Brother, it will be fine, it will be fine, sister will not let you have an accident !"

Seeing this, Yuan couldn't help covering his face with a handkerchief and sobbing.

Xie Zhiwei asked someone to bring a thin quilt to cover Xie Mingxi's body. The smell of alcohol in the room was almost gone, so she asked someone to close the window.

"My sister is going to give you an injection, but it doesn't hurt, so don't be afraid, okay?"

"En!" Xie Mingxi responded softly, staring at Xie Zhiwei with his eyes, for fear that she would disappear by accident, although he was sleepy, he refused to close his eyes.

"My sister will accompany you. You close your eyes. When you recover from your illness, my sister will make honey osmanthus cake for you to eat."

Xie Mingxi grinned, his beautiful eyes seemed to be filled with a summer night sky full of stars, the stars were shining, very beautiful.

After all, it took a lot of energy, and after getting her sister's assurance, she was very sleepy again. Xie Mingxi closed her eyes and fell asleep. Her breathing was still short, and she made a whirring sound, but her body temperature dropped a lot, and her pulse became more stable. Xie Zhiwei began to insert needles.

After protecting the heart veins with needles one after another, Xie Zhiwei asked someone to fetch candles and moxa sticks. After lighting the moxa sticks, he used the moxa sticks to moxibuste the acupuncture points on Xie Mingxi's body.

People in the room couldn't understand this, but seeing Xie Zhiwei calm and confident, everyone followed suit, and Yuan Shi looked at the two children intently.
