The Salted Fish Concubine of the Qing Dynasty

156-160

Chapter 156

When Geng Qingning saw Li Huairen, she saw that his face was red, his lips were pale, and his collar, chest, and back were all soaked with sweat, as if he would collapse in the next moment. She hurriedly said, "Move a stool over quickly and give Eunuch Li another bowl of warm salt water."

If he fainted here, people who didn't know would think she had hurt him.

Yu Jinzhong pressed Li Huairen, who wanted to support Xie En, on the stool, and hurriedly poured him a bowl of warm tea, smeared peppermint oil under his nose and chin, and pinched his neck hard.

This is an old method passed down in the palace. The palace servants had no medicine, so they pinched the back of the neck ruthlessly, and when the sha appeared, the person would be cured.

As soon as Li Huairen recovered from his stress, he hurriedly explained, "The box you brought contains the master's reward, you must not make any mistakes."

If it was really considered a gift, he would not be compensated enough even if he sold it.

"Don't worry," Geng Qingning soothed him. Li Huairen looked like he was breathing in more than he was breathing out. If he went out for a walk, he would really fall down here. "Just ask Yu Jinzhong to do it."

She also asked someone to bring a bowl of basil water. The basil leaves were roasted and dried to bring out the fragrance, and then put into boiling water and sealed for a quarter of an hour to soak the flavor. This kind of basil water has the effect of relieving heat and sweating, promoting qi and stomach.

Li Huairen drank the boiled water in one gulp, stood up and thanked him, "Master Geng is kind, I am much better now."

He then said carefully, "I have something to do this time. It is hot in summer, and Master misses you, so he specially asked me to send you some things to cool you down."

Yes, this is for the maintenance fee.

Geng Qingning understood.

Coincidentally, Ma Chongwu had already sent the boxes over.

Li Huairen held them one by one and introduced them, "This is an ivory mat made by shaving ivory into thin strips as thin as paper, and then splitting them into silk and weaving them. It is slightly cool to the touch and you won't feel hot even if you sleep for a long time. This thing is very rare. There is only one in the whole capital. Master specially asked me to send it to you."

"Take a look at this Kongming cart. It only needs to be filled with water in the morning and the water will flow all day long, ensuring that the house is refreshing and cool."

"And this fan cart. One person can operate it and the whole house will be cool."

"And these gauze and silk are not only as thin as cicada wings, but also bright in color, which are most suitable for cutting summer clothes."

Geng Qingning, who was standing aside, felt drowsy after hearing this. Which of the modern air-conditioned WiFi pajamas is not better than these things? If he thinks that these things can impress her, he is very wrong.

Li Huairen was dry-mouthed. Seeing that Geng Qingning still looked bored, he emphasized, "This is all the master's love for you. The servants are very moved when they see it."

Geng Qingning: Oh.

She turned her head to look at the people around her. Grape and Yu Jinzhong were smiling beside her. When she looked over, they took out a handkerchief from somewhere and wiped their eyes. Their eyes instantly turned red.

Good acting.

So Geng Qingning cleared his throat and said, "You are right."

The room was quiet and a little awkward.
