Chapter 638 Hot spring bath
In the next few days, Jiang Ci, Mr. Cui, the eldest uncle of the Cui family, and Cui Mengsheng went on a long trip and have not returned yet. During this period, Ying Si sent back a letter. In the letter, Jiang Ci only said that he would be back in two days and asked her not to worry. He did not say much about what he and Mr. Cui had done.
Yan Shu guessed that it might be related to the loss of the official salt some time ago. Since the Cui family has chosen to stand on Jiang Ci's side, Jiang Ci will definitely help the Cui family overcome the current difficulties to show his sincerity.
Recently, Yan Shu has gradually become familiar with the Cui family. Several ladies and young ladies have praised the skin care products sent by Yan Shu. In particular, the second lady's sallow complexion has improved significantly after taking the medicine sent by Yan Shu.
The Xinghua Garden where she lived was bustling with activity every day. Almost every day, the women from the small town and the rear house would come to her yard to stay for a while.
On this day, Yan Shu went out with Zhao early in the morning to attend a banquet hosted by a wealthy lady. This was also a formal introduction of Yan Shu to the local ladies.
The Cui family announced to the public that Yan Shu was Zhao's biological daughter. The explanation given was that Zhao was pregnant eighteen years ago, but the fetus had a hard time surviving due to physical reasons. Later, the uncle of the Cui family searched for famous doctors and by chance met the elusive Medical Sage Kong. Medical Sage Kong lived in the Cui family for three months and personally helped Zhao to regulate her body. Zhao finally gave birth to a daughter in the winter of that year, but the baby girl was born with a stubborn disease. In order to keep the baby girl alive, Medical Sage Kong took the baby girl away and raised her personally.
Everyone in Qinghe knew that Zhao was in poor health and seldom went out during those two years. Medical Saint Kong did stay at the Cui family for a while. The identity that the Cui family fabricated for Yan Shu was very consistent with the situation back then.
What completely convinced everyone was Yan Shu's superb medical skills. The second wife was a big talker. After taking the medicine given by Yan Shu, her complexion improved visibly. She thus became Yan Shu's publicity ambassador. These days, ladies and young ladies often came to visit Yan Shu in person, actually to see a doctor.
The patients who had been treated by Yan Shu all showed significant improvement after a few days of treatment according to the prescriptions provided by Yan Shu. Even some very serious gynecological diseases were gradually cured. As word spread, Yan Shu's reputation for her superb medical skills spread throughout Qinghe, and everyone believed that she was the true disciple of the Medical Saint Kong.
After spending some time with Yan Shu, Zhao was full of praise for her daughter. Yan Shu completely met her imagination of what a daughter should be like, and she liked him more and more.
At today's buffet, the host suggested playing a drinking game. Yan Shu drank a few more glasses of wine and felt a little dizzy on the way back to Cui's house.
Zhao, who was sitting in the same carriage, handed Yan Shu a glass of honey water with concern.
"Drink some honey water to sober up. If I had known you couldn't handle the alcohol, I should have found an excuse to decline."
Yan Shu took the teacup with a smile: "Today I am attending the banquet as the daughter of the Cui family. It is difficult to refuse the toasts from the elders."
Zhao said with a distressed look on her face, "We'll be home soon. Go back and ask someone to make you a bowl of hangover soup. Drink it and go to bed early."
Yan Shu nodded.
The carriage team quickly returned to Cui Mansion. After getting off the carriage, Zhao immediately ordered Cui Xi and Cui Yan to support Yan Shu back to Xinghua Garden, and ordered the kitchen to send a bowl of sobering soup to Yan Shu as soon as possible.
Returning to his room, Yan Shu sniffed his clothes that were reeking of alcohol and was eager to take a shower first.
Cui Xi said, "Miss, do you want to take a dip in the hot spring pool? Hot springs are perfect in winter, and it can also help you get rid of the coldness you've just gotten from being outside."
Yan Shu immediately became interested and said to Cui Xi, "Then prepare a change of clothes for me."
"Yes!"
Cui Xi walked into the inner room and picked out a set of clothes from the closet. Then the master and servant went to the hot spring pavilion together.
"I will go get some dried flowers for you, young lady. There are three baths inside, and the smallest one is perfect for a flower petal bath."
"No need, I can go in by myself, you go ahead and do your work."
Yan Shu reached out to take the clothes and walked into the hot spring pavilion. After entering from the main door, there was a screen with flowers and birds of the four seasons. After closing the door and walking around the screen, there was a large natural hot spring pool. There were three areas of hot spring pools in the room. There were four gold-inlaid mythical beasts standing around the first hot spring pool. Spring water kept gushing out of the mouths of the mythical beasts, and the curling water vapor on the water surface made the whole room shrouded in white mist.
It was late in the evening and the light was a little dim.
Yan Shu walked behind the screen and took off his clothes, took out a white floral swimsuit from the space and put it on. The suspender tube top design perfectly outlined the lines of his already plump breasts. He wore a short skirt that exposed his navel, and his pair of straight, pink and white legs shone brightly against the backdrop of the white mist.
After changing his clothes, Yan Shu slowly sank into the hot spring pool barefoot. The hairs on his body instantly stretched out when they came into contact with the warm spring water, and he felt a warm current flowing slowly from his lower abdomen to his limbs.
Yan Shu leaned against the stone wall, closed his eyes and enjoyed the moment with his whole body and soul, when suddenly a subtle sound of water came from the huge hot spring pool. Yan Shu's heart skipped a beat and he immediately opened his eyes and looked towards the dim surroundings.
At the same time, a cold wind blew, and there was a faint smell of blood in the air.
Yan Shu realized that something was wrong, so she turned around and swam towards the stone steps to get ashore. Suddenly, there was a "splash" sound from the calm water, and a black shadow behind her pounced towards her. Yan Shu pressed her right hand on the stone wall on the shore and kicked the black shadow in the chest with a side kick. The other party groaned after being kicked. Yan Shu took the opportunity to look at the other party's face, but the light in the room was too dim, and the other party's face was covered by a black scarf, so it was difficult to see the other party's appearance in just a moment.
Without thinking too much, Yan Shu put his hands on the stone wall for leverage and tried to jump to the shore, but his slender waist was suddenly tightly wrapped by an arm.
Then a slightly weak and low voice came to my ears.
"it's me."
