Chapter 43

In the house, it was as warm as summer. The woman who gave birth on that day leaned on the head of the bed with several big pillows on her back. Although she was tired between her eyebrows, she was smiling at the corners of her mouth.

Smoke answered, opened the curtain, Xia Xi led Qi Er into, the Qi Er left in the hall, himself into the inner room.

The woman sat up straight with a smile on her face. "I still think that I will recover in a few days. I will send someone to look for you. Thank you for your help."

"You're welcome, madam. I've been paid."

Then, in front of the woman, her eyes fell on the child beside her, a little bit wrapped in swaddling clothes and sleeping with her eyes closed.

The woman looked at it and asked with a smile, "have you grown up more than that day?"

"It's growing up."

The woman's tone couldn't hide her joy. "This child is different every day. If it wasn't for the body's disallowing, I would like to hold him every day and not let go."

Xia Xi took back her eyes, with a faint smile at the corner of her mouth, "why should a woman be in a hurry for a while? When you are well, you can hold her as long as you want.".

The woman sighed and looked at Xia Xi. "I must have hurt my body that day. I couldn't feed the baby myself."

"Madame, haven't you seen the doctor?"

"I found it and prescribed the medicine, but it didn't work when I took it."

Finish saying, looking at Xia Xi's eyes with expectation, "Xia Xi, do you have a way?"

Xia Xi stretched out her hand, "this, I have to wait for my wife to pulse before I can confirm."

The woman is surprised, "can you still cure?"

Xia Xi nodded slightly, "a little."

The woman quickly put her hand in front of her, with urgent, "that trouble you."

Smoke moved a chair, Xia Xi sat down, two fingers casually on the woman's pulse.

Such as smoke and green smoke to see one eye, in the eyes have doubt, Xia Xi this feeling pulse posture is not like to know medicine at all.

After finishing one hand, she motioned to the woman to extend the other hand. From beginning to end, Xia Xi's look was light. The woman's heart was more tense when she saw it.

Xia Xi just let go, she can't wait to ask, "how, is there a way?"

"It's not a big problem. You don't need to take medicine. I'll make you a medicated meal and try it first."

"Lady Xia Xi..."

Ruyan couldn't help but open his mouth, "you also know our wife's current situation, food can't tolerate a little careless."

Xia Xi's faint smile, "since you can't believe me, I won't do this medicated meal."

"Like smoke!"

The woman tone aggravates, "apologize to Xia Xi!"

"Ma'am, I..."

Ruyan wants to explain.

"Sorry!"

Madame's face sank slightly. In that critical situation, Xia Xi only touched her stomach with her hand, and then she knew that the baby was in the right position, which showed that she was skilled in medicine and could make medicinal meals.

Woman seldom so angry, such as smoke face a change, immediately to Xia Xi blessing body, "Xia Xi madam, is I wrong."

Xia Xi waved her hand, "girl Ruyan is right. There's no need to apologize."

The woman took her hand and said, "they have been with me since I was a child. They think my life is more important than theirs. It's hard to avoid that they are so thoughtful. But don't worry, they won't be in the future."

"Madam, I don't care about it."

The woman breathed a sigh of relief, patted her hand, "that's good."

Xia Xi took her hand out of the woman's hand and stood up. "There are several kinds of medicinal materials. You are ready. I will make medicinal food later."

……

Xia Xi went to the kitchen again.

The housekeeper's attitude towards her was much better. He told people to prepare all the ingredients she needed. He also asked people to put a small table and a small stool in one corner of the kitchen with dried fruits and cakes on it for her.

Qi'er looks up at Xia Xi. Xia Xi nods. Qi'er just goes by. She is upright and sits on a small stool. As for the snacks, she doesn't even look at them.

The housekeeper couldn't help looking at Qi'er more. These snacks are very delicate, not to mention the ordinary farm children, even those children from rich families in Beijing can't help eating them. But Qi'er doesn't even have half a salivation. She is really well bred.

Call the kitchen steward, special command, no matter what Xia Xi do, all want her. Then he turned and walked out of the kitchen.

The necessary medicinal materials were also sent. Xia Xi prepared them according to the proportion, washed them with her hands, and then put them in the pot together with the ingredients. She said, "use the fire first, and call me after it's boiled."

Someone answered.

"What's in the kitchen today?"

Xia Xi asked.

The kitchen steward pointed to a chopping board and said, "today's dishes are all here. Madam, what do you need?"

Xia Xi went over, glanced at it, took two kinds of them, washed them quickly, and cut them out for use.

Without her command, people didn't know what to do. They followed her all the time. By looking at her cutting posture, they knew that she was a good cook.

See her stop, the kitchen manager just way, "such a thing, although the lady told us to do, the lady does not have to do it."

"I've got everything I need. You can do your own work. Don't worry about me."

The steward nodded and waved, and everyone was busy.

Xia Xi walks to Qi'er and squats down, "Qi'er, why don't you eat?"

Qi'er took a look at these dried fruits and exquisite cakes that she had never seen before. She quickly withdrew her eyes and pursed her lips. "I don't want to eat them."

"Why?"

Xia Xi asked with a smile, picked up a cake at random, deliberately raised it to the tip of his nose, teased him, "you smell, very fragrant."

Qi'er's throat moved, but her lips closed more tightly.

"What's the matter?"

Xia Xi smile on the face disappears, another hand covers his forehead, "uncomfortable?"

"No

It's really not hot. Xia Xi takes back her hand and puts the cake back on the plate. Instead, she touches his head. "Tell me, what's the matter with you? Why don't you want a cake? "

"I'm afraid I'll miss it this time."

Xia Xi hand Dunzhu, an indescribable mood spread to the heart, put soft voice, "Qi son is afraid to eat later?"

Qi'er shakes her head. "The cake looks very delicate and tastes natural. After I eat it, maybe I'll miss it later. I don't want my mother to come here to cook, so I'd rather not eat it."

Xia Xi's heart is pounded hard, hands down, looking at Qi'er's eyes, "Qi'er doesn't want her mother to be a cook?"

Qi'er still shakes her head and turns her little head to see that all the people in the kitchen are busy living. No one notices them. Then she takes her eyes back and looks at Xia Xi. Her voice is very low. Only the two of them can hear, "I don't want my mother to be a cook here."

Xia Xi didn't react for a moment, but also lowered her voice and asked with a smile, "why?"

"Because the man said you were ugly."
