Wine and Frost

Chapter 23

Fu Shuang peeled off her clothes in two or three steps and got into the water.

The water in the pool was still very warm, and the whole person groaned comfortably after soaking in it.A small bamboo basket was placed beside the pool, filled with rose petals.But Fu Shuang didn't like to use these things.

After Fu Shuang finished washing and stepped out of the pool, she was standing in front of the floor-standing bronze mirror and putting on her clothes, when she suddenly noticed a strange pattern appeared on her waist.

It was two flowers, one red and one white, but the red flowers were in full bloom and the white flowers were in bud.

He reached out and touched the pattern.

No pain.

But it's so strange, what didn't exist yesterday, how come it grows today.

Fu Shuang didn't seem to understand, but there were too many things he couldn't understand today.He shook his head, and asked Xiao Mo tomorrow.He put on his clothes in a hurry, opened the door and went out.

As expected, Fu Ling was waiting outside, so Fu Shuang followed her to her residence.

Although he was walking behind Fu Ling, Fu Shuang felt that he could find his way too, and the General's Mansion always seemed inexplicably familiar to him.

Fu Ling was about to leave after bringing him to the door of the house, but Fu Shuang thanked her softly.She looked rather terrified, and hurriedly waved her hands: "It's what a servant should do. The young master has worked hard all the way, please have a good rest." After finishing speaking, she backed out.

It was only after Fu Shuang entered the room that Ling Xuehan was sitting at the table with a jug of wine on the table, and he was holding a wine glass in his hand.

When Ling Xuehan entered the room, Fu Shuang's eyes had already been fixed on him.

Fu Shuang stopped in front of the bead curtain and did not move forward. He lowered his eyes and stared at his intertwined fingers.

"Am I staying in the guest room?"

Ling Xuehan put down the wine cup and walked towards Fu Shuang, only when he was almost approaching, Fu Shuang took a step back timidly.Accidentally bumped into the bead curtain, making a crisp sound.

"This was originally your room, so naturally there is no need to live in any guest room."

The distance between the two is obviously very short, but it seems that there are thousands of barriers.

"You, you can stay here, I'll just sleep in the guest room." Fu Shuang still didn't dare to raise her eyes, stammered and wanted to open the bead curtain to go out, but Ling Xuehan grabbed her wrist.

But Fu Shuang felt as if her waist had been lightly pricked by a thin needle.The pain was so light that Fu Shuang thought it was his own illusion for a moment.

Ling Xuehan grabbed his wrist and pulled him into his arms.

Fu Shuangyuan opened her almond eyes and hurriedly looked up at Ling Xuehan.

The pinprick feeling on the side of the waist became a little more obvious.

It turned out not to be my own illusion.

Fu Shuang bit her lower lip and pushed Ling Xuehan's chest with some resistance.

He also noticed that as long as Ling Xuehan touched him, that kind of subtle pain would appear faintly.At this moment, he has no other thoughts, he just wants to stay away from Ling Xuehan.

Ling Xuehan didn't do anything, but put his head on Fu Shuang's neck, and put his arms around Fu Shuang's waist.

Fu Shuang trembled slightly in his arms.Ling Xuehan slightly closed his eyes, but put his lips close to his ear.

"I just want to be closer to you, don't you even want to do that now?"

Fu Shuang bit her lip, froze but did not speak.

"You live here, I'll go to another house."

Ling Xuehan let go of her hand in an instant, passed Fu Shuang directly, lifted the beaded curtain, and strode out of the house in stride.

Fu Shuang rubbed her slightly red wrist, but did not respond.His skin is fair, and it is easier to leave marks on his body than ordinary people.Although General Ling's back looks really pitiful, and he doesn't feel disgusted in his heart, it's just...

Fu Shuang sat back on the bedside while pressing her wrist with her head down, and sighed softly.

But he really couldn't remember it at all.

And, those fine pains are real.

Fu Shuang had a strange dream all night, it seemed that the past was hazy and coming one after another, but it was bit by bit broken like starlight.He started to sleep very restlessly that night, and fell asleep very late.The mattress was far more comfortable than the small wooden bed in the bamboo house, and Fu Shuang fell asleep soon after she stopped dreaming.

It was three poles high in the sun, and Fu Shuang woke up dazed and staring.It was only when I changed my clothes after washing up with a confused and unconscious face that I realized how familiar I was with this room.

Until the feeling of hunger hooked him back.

When Fu Shuang arrived, he realized that they were all seated and waiting for him.He was also very embarrassed and trotted over to sit down.He looked around carefully, only to realize that Ling Xuehan was not at the table, presumably he must have gone to court.

Mo Xinliang was not being polite, she had already started to feast on her chopsticks.Lin Peiyan just took a sip of the soup, then looked at Fu Shuang as if thinking of something.

"Xiaoshuang, Fuling will take us to the clinic prepared by General Ling later, do you want to go and see it together?"

At this moment, Fu Shuang had a ball in his mouth and just bit it in his mouth. Hearing what he said, he nodded hastily.After swallowing the balls and taking a sip of the soup, he continued to reply.

"Brother Xiaoyan, will you also live in the hospital in the future?"

Lin Peiyan nodded, and he also began to pick up vegetables, "General Ling said that the courtyard behind the hospital is very convenient."

Mo Xinliang suddenly teased: "Fu Xiaoshuang, did you sleep in the same room with General Ling last night?"

Fu Shuang was drinking soup and almost choked upon hearing this, so he quickly put down his chopsticks and waved his hands.

"General Ling slept in the guest room."

Both Mo Xinliang and Lin Peiyan let out a long cry.

"General Ling is really Liu Xiahui." Mo Xinliang took another chopstick of green vegetables, and continued to tease Fu Shuang, "Isn't there a story in the storybook about how the little wife who ran away was captured?"

Fu Shuang buried her face in a low voice while eating the rice, and raised her face when she heard this and gave Mo Xinliang a very disgusted look.

"I don't know what storybook you read." Fu Shuang slurred his words while chewing rice, "Anyway, I don't write things like this..."

"Does Xiaoshuang still write scripts?" Lin Peiyan wondered.

Fu Shuang smiled embarrassingly, "Writing, it's not good."

"But Fu Xiaoshuang doesn't look like the person who writes about worldly love." Mo Xinliang bit her chopsticks and looked at Fu Shuang with an inexplicable hatred for iron.

Fu Shuang blinked her apricot core eyes with innocent doubts on her face.

"Did you have someone you liked before you married General Ling?" An extremely gossip smile appeared on Mo Xinliang's baby face, "For example, some childhood sweetheart or something."

Fu Shuang thought about it carefully, then shook her head.He had lived in that secluded place for the previous 17 years, and besides Ruoqing who took care of him, there were only a few old servants around him.

And those scripts were only written in his imagination.

"Xiao Mo, I can also write a story for you and Brother Xiaoyan."

Mo Xinliang put down her chopsticks and raised her hand to pinch Fu Shuang's face. She deliberately said in a vicious voice, "It's fine if you don't call me my brother, and I'll take a bite of Xiao Mo. I have nothing to write about with Xiaoyan."

Lin Peiyan immediately reached out and slapped his hand away, "Don't bully Xiaoshuang, it's obvious that you are not dignified."

Mo Xinliang groaned and chirped with dissatisfaction on his face, but Fu Shuang smiled happily.

After drinking and eating, Fu Ling took a few people and ordered the servants to take the luggage, and went to the medical clinic prepared by Ling Xuehan together.

The plaque has not been hung yet, but the location of the medical center is very good, not in the bustling market, but not remote, it is a quiet place to live.In front is the shop, and behind the shop is the yard for living.Inside the gate is a square yard with houses in the four directions of southeast, north and south.There are also several tall trees planted in the yard, and a pressurized well under the tree.

These houses are all green bricks and black cloth tiles, and they are all brand new, as if they have just been renovated not long ago.There are four rooms in the wing room, all of which have been arranged, the bed is carved mahogany, and a brocade quilt, no matter how you look at it, it is comfortable.

Lin Peiyan didn't have much luggage, so he put the things in his room and looked around.

At this moment, Fu Shuang was holding a greased paper bag, leaning obediently beside the stone table in the courtyard, watching them busily going around, while eating osmanthus cake.

Lin Peiyan also sat down beside him, and took a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake from the oiled paper bag.

"Even the dining room is well prepared here. General Ling really has a heart, and he doesn't know how much money he wants."

Fu Shuang paused when she heard the words, then looked up at Lin Peiyan pitifully.

"Is it really for my consultation fee?"

Lin Peiyan didn't hide from him that this clinic was a consultation fee for Fu Shuang's treatment. Although he couldn't forcibly wake up his memory, it would be great if he could recall some.Lin Peiyan was wondering if Fu Shuang remembered something, when he suddenly heard him say something again.

"Then I owe him a lot of money. I, I have no money to pay back... I wonder if my father and brother will help me pay it back..." Fu Shuang lowered her face in aggrieved form again, as if she was seriously considering what to do. How to pay back the money.

Lin Peiyan: "..."

"Pfft, how could General Ling want you to pay back the money hahaha. It's too late for him to hurt you."

Mo Xinliang laughed and joked while snoring, brushing Fu Shuang's hair and snatching a piece of his sweet-scented osmanthus cake.

It's annoying.

"Fu Xiaoshuang~" Mo Xinliang propped her chin with her hands, blinking her kitten-like eyes, with a harmless look on her face.

"Do, what to do..." But Fu Shuang more or less understood this person whose appearance and age did not match at all, and every time he looked innocent, something bad must happen.

"Why do you have such an expression?" Mo Xinliang stretched out her hand to pinch Fu Shuang's cheek again, "Didn't you say you wanted to study medicine with me before, do you still want to learn?"

Fu Shuang patted his hands off, rubbed his face, and nodded.

Lin Peiyan contemptuously said, "It's obvious that Xiaoshuang has a good talent, and she speaks as if someone else is admiring you."

Mo Xinliang went to snatch Fu Shuang's sweet-scented osmanthus cake again.

Fu Shuang stayed at the medical hall until almost dusk.

Mo Xinliang had just finalized the name of the clinic with Fu Ling. He chose the name casually, and he wasn't very interested in opening the clinic.

As soon as Fuling left, Ling Xuehan came back.

He had just come down to court, and when he learned that Fu Shuang and the others had come to the clinic early in the morning, he came directly to pick them up.

As soon as Ling Xuehan entered the medical hall, he saw Fu Shuang stepping on the stool, as if he was taking medicinal herbs from the top of the medicine cabinet.He frowned slightly, and couldn't help but say: "Be careful."

Fu Shuang held it well at first, but after hearing his voice, she shook her body, slipped on the sole of her foot, and almost fell off.Originally thinking that he would fall to the ground, Fu Shuang closed his eyes tightly, only to realize later that it was Ling Xuehan who caught him.

He opened his eyes in a daze, and found that there was a slight stabbing pain in his waist again.
