    ?

    There was a gap between Su Xiaoya and Zhang Jin, so she stopped taking them out for fun.

    In fact, traveling is also a very tiring job.  Coincidentally, Zhou Da also wanted to take a day off, so he also stayed at the inn without going out.  Du Shiniang heard that "Jingshan Temple" had good spring water, so she went to "Jingshan Temple" to fetch water with a bucket and Ruyi.  The spring water she drew was not for making tea, but for beauty treatment with spring water.

    [1] "Summer Night Chasing the Cool" Poem by Yang Wanli

    The heat at night is still the same at noon,

    Open the door and stand in the middle of the moon;

    ? Where the bamboo is deep and the trees are dense with the sound of insects,

    Sometimes there is a slight coolness, not the wind.

    In Hangzhou in summer, the weather is extremely hot; unexpectedly, the night is still so boring.

    Ji Xu opened the door, came to the yard and stood under the moonlight for a while.  At this time, in the bamboo forest and bushes in the distance, there was a sound of insects chirping, and a feeling of coolness floated in front of me.  However, this is not the wind, perhaps it is the tranquil coolness of nature!

    Ji Xu quickly went back upstairs, wanting to call Zhang Jin to come downstairs to enjoy the cool together.  When I came to Zhang Jin's room, I saw him sitting at the desk reviewing his homework, but he looked very sleepy.  Then he asked: "Ninth brother, are you tired, why don't you go to bed and sleep?"

    Zhang Jin supported the table, stood up slowly and said: "Sure enough, I can't hold on tonight, my little brother has to go to bed first." So he called Cheng Xin into the room.

    Cheng Xin entered the room, quickly made the bed, and asked the master to go to bed and rest.

    But when Zhang Jin left the table and wanted to leave, he felt weak all over, so he said to Cheng Xin: "Come here, give me a hand."

    Cheng Xin hurried over and helped her to bed.

    Ji Xu looked at his back and asked, "Ninth Brother, are you sick?"

    Cheng Xin helped her to the bedside.  Zhang Jin said: "No way, it may be that 'Daughter Hong' [1] drank too much, and after a night of sleep, it will recover naturally, so don't worry about it."

    "I am aware of Jiudi's drinking capacity. Why do you drink so little? You must be sick!" Ji Xu said as he walked over.  Seeing that Zhang Jin had taken off his long clothes, he fell asleep and pulled the quilt over his feet.

    Cheng Xin stepped aside when he saw Ji Xu approaching.

    Ji Xu stretched out his hand to touch his forehead, and felt it was hot like a hot stone.  He said, "Ninth brother, you are really sick. It's probably because you caught a cold in the rain yesterday."

    Zhang Jin slept on the pillow without making a sound, and smiled reluctantly.

    Ji Xu said: "Tonight, you don't have to order Cheng Xin. How about I sleep at the feet of the ninth brother? Just order me if you need anything."

    "Oh, how dare you work for my starling? Cheng Xin is fine, so I let him build a small bed and squeeze it next to the big bed where I sleep. If he is asleep, even if I have something to do, I can call him, and I can hear him."  See, there's no need to bother Mynah."

    Cheng Xin stood at the foot, promised yes, and prepared to make a bed.

    Ji Xu stopped him, frowned and said, "Ninth brother, you are too stubborn in some places."

    "Is it possible not to be stubborn? Look at the way your niece treats me, and I don't know whose influence she is relying on."

    "Don't involve others~" Ji Xu loosened his brows and smiled, "I mean, now that your illness has come, I'll be right at your feet, sleeping for a day or two, what's the big deal?"

    Zhang Jin still said with a straight face: "Sleeping on the feet, I am afraid that my brother will be troubled!"

    Ji Xu knew that Zhang Jin was still angry with Xiaoya, so he shook his head and said, "Why"

    Cheng Xin thought carefully, don't hurt Mr. Ji's heart, he has good intentions, so don't offend him.  He said: "Serving Jiuxianggong, but my duty as a book boy, how can I let Baxianggong be troubled!"

    Ji Xu said: "That's right, I know it's about your book boy. But when the patient really calls out, I'm afraid that everyone sleeping in the outer room will wake up, and you are still seeing Duke Zhou in your dream."

    Cheng Xin knew that he was young and sleepy, so he smiled embarrassingly.

    Ji Xu said again: "You should drop out of school and your husband-in-law is stubborn. You don't want to sleep in the Datong bunk, but go to sleep in my room. I think he is very sick.  It's late, let me come!"

    Seeing what Ji Xu said, Zhang Jin didn't want to refuse anymore, so he said, "Cheng Xin, you can do as Ba Xianggong wants! If I really have something to do, I'll call you again. My own body,  I know it myself, and you don't have to worry about it."

    Cheng Xin stood at the foot and remained silent.

    Ji Xu said to Zhang Jin: "Cheng Xin, first go to the kitchen downstairs to see if there is any hot water for making tea? I'll make a bowl of hot tea for Brother Jiu to drink.??.  When Lu You, a famous patriotic poet in the Southern Song Dynasty, lived in the ancient town of Dongguan, he drank his daughter's red wine and wrote a famous poem "I just want to live in Dongguan when I move home, and see the moon in the lake every night".

    (1) History

    The famous Shaoxing "Hua Diao Wine", also known as "Daughter Wine".  Speaking of this name, there is another story!

    Once upon a time, there was a master tailor in Shaoxing who wanted children after he married a wife.  One day, it was discovered that his wife was pregnant.  He was so happy that he rushed home excitedly, brewed several jars of wine, and entertained relatives and friends when he was ready to give birth.  Unexpectedly, the tailor had patriarchal thoughts, and his wife gave birth to a daughter. It turned out that the daughter was not brought out when she was full moon, and was buried under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree.

    As time flies, his daughter grows up, smart and smart, and has inherited the tailoring skills, and married the tailor's apprentice, and he happily married her daughter.  On the day of the wedding, the master tailor drank wine very happily. He suddenly remembered the jars of wine buried under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree more than ten years ago, so he dug them out to treat the guests.  Alcohol, very delicious.  Therefore, everyone called this wine "Nv Nu Hong" wine, also known as "Nv Nv Jiu".
