While walking home along the road, Bai Song heard the official messenger passing the news along the way.
After learning of the great victory in the northwest war, the Turks surrendered.
Bai Song was filled with emotion and felt more relaxed. It seemed that history had not changed because of his appearance.
The war that should have been won was finally won.
Such good news attracted cheers from the whole city as soon as it entered the city. When the lights were turned off at dusk, Jixian County became unusually lively.
With the excitement along the way, Bai Song thought about having something good to celebrate after returning home.
Arriving at the back door of the house, I suddenly spotted a somewhat familiar carriage.
Bai Song was stunned, thinking that he had seen this carriage before. Before he could think about it, he smelled a medicinal smell coming from the courtyard.
Bai Song felt a little strange. When he entered the door, he saw Dongxiang, who had not seen him earlier, squatting in the corner of the courtyard, building a small stove, as if he was boiling medicine.
Catkins from the willow branches hanging over the wall in the courtyard next door fell all over her head.
But this girl was very serious and didn't notice at all.
Bai Song frowned as he smelled the medicine, thinking to himself, why does this taste the same as the anti-fetal medicine?
Could it be that this winter fragrance...
Bai Song quietly came up behind her and looked at her for a while without saying a word, but this girl didn't even notice.
Bai Song stretched out his hand to push aside the catkins on her head, and this action woke her up from her concentration.
I was so frightened that I almost knocked over the medicine cup.
Bai Song took a hand and held Dongxiang's thin shoulders, allowing her to steady herself.
"Master!"
Dongxiang was quite surprised, but then she became happy and was about to turn around and shout.
Bai Song held it in place and looked at it carefully.
Dongxiang felt a little guilty under Bai Song's gaze. She blinked and asked in a low voice, "Master, why are you looking at me like this?"
Bai Song didn't speak, but still watched carefully.
This Dong Xiang has a tall body and a slightly rounded figure. She does not have the pretentiousness of ordinary women in ancient times. She does not look thin, especially her belly, which is almost visible to the naked eye.
After reading it, Bai Song was convinced, thinking that it was no wonder that this girl wanted to cook anti-fetal medicine, and no wonder she had to follow him. She must have a lover outside, but he didn't know how to explain it.
In ancient times, a woman's affair and pregnancy was a big deal. Bai Song didn't want to expose it and embarrass Dong Xiang, so he smiled and said, "You don't have to do these tasks anymore. You can go and rest. I will take care of this medicine."
Bai Song was self-righteous, but he didn't know that Dong Xiang drank the sour plum soup cooked by Sang Sang.
In May, the plums are about to ripen, so the green plums in the sour plum soup are the best in this season. Sang Sang used the recipe Bai Song told her.
Dongxiang had never seen Bai Song's ability, never drank the refreshing sour plum soup to relieve the heat, and was exhausted after another day of traveling.
When I returned to the hospital, I drank three bowls of it. My stomach was filled with sour plum soup.
However, Bai Song mistakenly thought that Dongxiang was pregnant.
Hearing Bai Song say that he wanted to cook the medicine himself, Dongxiang thought about the matter again. She didn't feel strange, but felt happy in her heart. She agreed and returned to the house.
In the house, Xiang'er and Xiao Cui were tidying up the house, and the small room suddenly became crowded with the addition of two people's clothes.
"Madam, the young master is back."
Hearing this, Xiang'er felt panicked and hurriedly asked Xiao Cui to sort out her clothes and the scattered Liu Hai.
"Madam, there is no need to be nervous. The young master is making medicine for madam outside." Dong Xiang smiled sweetly, took Xiang'er's hand and walked to the window, pointing to the corner wall of the courtyard, "Madam, look at how attentive the young master is!"
Xiang'er stared blankly, looking at the back that made people love and hate her, and gently pursed her lower lip.
"Madam, please don't be angry with the young master. Look at the young master being so attentive and insisting on decoction for the madam himself. It shows that the young master still cares about the madam."
Xiang'er wiped the corners of her eyes silently and squeezed out a smile: "You're already here, why are you still arguing with him?"
After saying that, Xiang'er turned around and walked out of the room. Under the eaves, she shouted from a distance: "Mr.
With these two simple words, Bai Song, who was concentrating on decoction just a second ago, suddenly imagined that he had been summoned by something. He stood up suddenly and turned around, seeing the woman under the eaves.
For a moment, Bai Song didn't believe it and rubbed his eyes.
Then I thought about the carriage I met when I entered the house, and then I realized that it was the Madam who was here.
"Xiang'er!"
The more you think in your heart, the faster your feet will move.
Bai Song took three steps and two steps at a time, throwing Xiang'er into his arms like a hungry wolf. In a flash, he was like the sun, showing infinite joy and lifting everyone up, conveying the fire in his heart at this moment.
"Xiang'er! Xiang'er... why are you here?"
"Ms. sir... sir... ah, put me down quickly."
Bai Song hugged Xiang'er and walked around in the courtyard like a child. Several girls in the family looked at the naughty boy.
Some people are helpless, some are funny, and some are envious.
Xiang'er experienced the panic at the beginning, but gradually felt the joy in Bai Song's heart, and gradually started to smile.
"Xiang'er, aren't you angry with me?"
Panting, Bai Song put down Xiang'er and carefully held Xiang'er's face, ecstatic.
Xiang'er felt dizzy, leaning on her husband's arms, arranging the scattered silk threads, and nodded pretending not to care.
"You...you didn't even say a word to me when you came. If I had known about it, I wouldn't have gone out."
"It was your good maid who came to the house early in the morning and tricked me here with her sweet words."
"My good maid?" Bai Song was stunned.
At this time, Dongxiang came over from the side and looked at Bai Song with a smile: "Master, do you like it?"
"You...you went to Mang County?"
Dongxiang nodded: "I know that the young master misses his wife day and night, so he took it upon himself to bring her back."
"..." The impact of this surprise was too strong. Bai Song still couldn't believe it. "So, Xiang'er, you are not going back to Mang County and you are staying here?"
Xiang'er blushed, lowered her head and said nothing.
Dongxiang smiled and said: "Young master, if you don't go and take a look inside, my wife has brought all your daily necessities, where can I leave here?"
"Uncle, Xiaocui is not coming either."
Under the eaves, the little girl hugging the beams and pillars of the house was pouting and talking, very dissatisfied that her uncle ignored her.
Happiness came so suddenly, Bai Song didn't know how to express his inner joy, so he bit Xiang'er's mouth hard in front of everyone.
In an instant, all the girls in the family were blushing with embarrassment. Only Bai Song laughed shamelessly in the courtyard.
There is a bit of confusion in the laughter.
Bai Song was startled and turned back to look at the medicine cooked in Yuanjiao.
"It's over! It's confused!"
Bai Song hurriedly ran over again and rescued a mouthful of usable decoction.
Bai Song took the decoction, and Bai Rou came over and asked, "Who is sick?"
It was not easy to publicize this matter, so Bai Song hesitated and did not answer.
Then he handed the decoction to Dong Xiang. When Dong Xiang handed the decoction to Xiang'er, he felt something was wrong.
"Wait, whose medicine is this?"
"Master, as a man, you should stay out of our women's affairs." Dongxiang replied with a half-smile.
"..."
Xiang'er looked shy and walked into the house holding the medicine bowl. Bai Song looked more and more wrong and followed her in.
"Xiang'er, is the medicine yours?"
"Ms. sir, you are under control."
"Can I ignore it? This is an anti-fetal drug? Where can I take it randomly?"
Bai Song looked at Xiang'er, and there was nothing that looked like she was pregnant, but he was still worried and put his hand on Xiang'er's wrist.
After that, Bai Song completely relaxed and Xiang'er was not pregnant.
"Dongxiang, come in." Bai Song called.
After Dongxiang came in, Bai Song pointed at the medicine and asked, "How do you explain this medicine?"
Seeing that her husband was pressing the question, Xiang'er blushed and explained her plan.
After hearing the reason for the incident, Bai Song couldn't laugh or cry. Love is the medicine that the wife only prepares if she wants to have children.
"Ouch... I'm scared to death..." Bai Song exhaled, "Xiang'er, your husband is the most powerful doctor in the world. Don't talk about these things by hearsay in the future. This is an anti-fetal medicine. You only eat it after you’re pregnant. You’re not even pregnant, so why are you eating it?”
"Oh..." Xiang'er's face turned red and she didn't know what to say. She lowered her head all the way and was so embarrassed.
The matter came to an end. Seeing that it was already past dinner time, Bai Song personally cooked for a family of women.
In the entire Tang Dynasty, Bai Song was probably the only one who could do such a thing, and even a room full of women would find it strange.
As night falls, Bai Song's figure is still busy on the stove under the gradually shrouded darkness.
A room full of women sat under the eaves, eating melon seeds and dried green plums, blowing in the fragrant wind of catkins, all enjoying themselves.
"How could the young master be such a...gentleman..."
"Sister Dongxiang, you are still being told this. Brother Bai hates people saying 'a gentleman is far away from the cook'. We have tried to persuade him before, but we were scolded and got used to it." Sangsang said seriously.
Bai Rou looked admiring: "My brother is good at everything, but he has the ability."
"Ladies, get ready for dinner."
Bai Song's craftsmanship is not bad. What's better is that he has a variety of seasonings and the food he cooks is much better than ordinary restaurants outside.
After working for a while, I made a pot of stewed chicken, a pot of roasted meat, and two side dishes, which were enough to serve a few delicate women.
Bai Song was in a great mood. He looked at a table of girls surrounding him, and all his relatives in this life were reunited. It seemed like nothing...
No, there is another person.
Thinking about it, Bai Song raised his head and looked at the bright moon that was appearing and disappearing among the clouds. There was also a hint of helplessness in his joy.
But Bai Song is not sentimental. He knows that life will not always be reunited, and now he is very content to have Xiang'er back by his side.
It's just that these girls are getting together for the first time and they are not so active with each other.
At the dinner table, except for Bai Rou who kept chattering away, everyone else was relatively dull.
This matter will take time, and Bai Song will not force it. As long as we live together, things will get better.
After a full meal, drink a bowl of Bai Song's secret sour plum soup, which will instantly make you feel sleepy.
The small bowl of sour plum soup was well received by everyone.
Bai Rou was the first to suggest: "Brother, our shop has been empty lately, and books are not allowed to be sold. Why don't we sell sour plum soup?"
"Yes, this sour plum soup is refreshing and relieves the heat. As May begins and hot summer approaches, this sour plum soup has great potential." Sang Sang also agreed.
The Bai Song Dynasty originally intended to make sour plum soup as a drink to relieve summer heat at home, and never thought of spreading it to the outside world.
I didn't expect the girls to be so optimistic about it, but it wasn't impossible. Fortunately, I nodded: "Just go and try it."
