Amorous S*ave Girl - Chapter 19
Chapter 19 : Collecting herbs in Jiuning Mountain
"Tao'er, I heard from Qiuyue and the others that General Han was very angry when he saw you and your brother riding back last night. Is he jealous? Haha, General Han likes Tao'er very much!" Miss Bao'er held her hands in her hands and happily teased Taoer.
Tao'er ignored Miss Bao'er and just slowly poured the medicine in the cup into the bowl, "Miss, drink it while it's hot. It will be more bitter when it cools down."
"Wow, just smelling it makes me want to vomit. I won't drink it today!" Miss Baoer turned her head to the side willfully.
"Miss, how is this possible? Be good, drink the medicine quickly!" Tao'er held the medicine bowl and coaxed Miss Bao'er like a child.
The pungent smell of the medicine rushed into Miss Bao'er's nostrils, making her feel nauseous. "I said no, no!" Miss Bao'er raised her hand and lifted it up. With a bang, the medicine bowl fell to the ground, shattering into pieces. It splashed all over Tao'er.
"Miss, how could you waste it like this? Master Ning Xi worked so hard to collect this medicine for you, and this servant worked hard all morning!" Tao'er said reprovingly while cleaning up.
"Taoer, you yelled at me, you are not like this!" Miss Baoer's eyes turned red with grievance.
Yes, she wasn't like this before. Why did she become so easily excited when things related to Mr. Ning Xi? Seeing Miss Bao'er crying, she couldn't help but blame herself for not fulfilling her duty as a maid.
"What happened?" Mr. Ning Xi heard the sound and walked in.
"Well, this sl@ve accidentally broke the medicine bowl!" Tao'er immediately took the responsibility alone. She didn't want to ruin Miss Bao'er's impression in Master Ning Xi's mind. Miss Baoer also looked at Taoer gratefully.
"Really? This medicine is difficult to obtain." Mr. Ning Xi said sadly.
"Master Ning Xi, my servant will go with you to collect herbs today!" Tao'er also wanted to share some of the hard work for him.
"Okay!" Young Master Ning Xi smiled brightly at Tao'er, and Tao'er's face actually turned red. "Do you want Miss Chen to follow you?" Mr. Ning Xi turned to ask Miss Bao'er with a smile.
"No! I'm not going!" Miss Bao'er shook her head repeatedly. She and Ning Xi went to collect medicine, and they were almost dead from exhaustion. She was almost bitten by a poisonous snake, which scared her so much that she still has lingering fears.
Although Mr. Chen sent many valuable and rare medicinal materials, few of them were useful for detoxifying Miss Bao'er. Therefore, it doesn’t matter whether the medicinal materials are expensive or not, as long as they are suitable for the symptoms, they are good medicines.
Tao'er changed her clothes and went to Jiuning Mountain behind Biyun Mountain with her medicine basket to collect herbs.
From the bottom of Jiuning Mountain, we hiked to the top of the mountain. The mountain road was almost ten miles, which was very tiring. Tao'er was not as delicate as Miss Bao'er. She didn't say a word of complaint and just silently followed Mr. Ning Xi.
Half an hour later, Master Ning Xi was surprised to find a scrophulariaceae plant on the edge of a cliff. It was at least twenty years old. Tao'er was so happy that she helped dig it out.
Young Master Ning Xi and Tao'er cooperated in a tacit understanding and climbed all the way to collect herbs. They searched all over dead trees and vines, under rocks, and beside mountains and streams before finally finding all the herbs used to detoxify.
After going down the mountain, both of them were exhausted. Panting, they sat down with their backs against the rocks to rest for a while.
"Tao'er, you must be very tired. Do you regret coming with me to collect herbs and not talking much along the way?" Young Master Ning Xi asked with a gentle smile.
Tao'er shook her head and replied shyly: "Tao'er is just a maid, she is not afraid of getting tired! But Master Ning Xi is tired!"
"Then when you get back, make me a cup of eight-treasure tea so that I won't be tired anymore..." He just said that when he turned around and found that Tao'er had fallen asleep sleepily with her eyes closed. It seemed that she was really exhausted. The corners of the young master's lips curved into a smile.
It was already getting late, but Master Ning Xi couldn't bear to wake Tao'er up, so he gently carried her on his back, holding the medicine basket in one hand, and continued on his way.
The afterglow of the setting sun stretched their shadows long, their moon-white gowns fluttered in the wind, and their fluttering blue hairs entangled with each other...
