30: Chapter 30 Making a Medicine Pillow 30: Chapter 30 Making a Medicine Pillow Su Ge finally caught her breath, wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth, and her face turned red as she looked at Chu Yihan.
Seeing Chu Yihan staring out of the window, she felt too embarrassed to say anything and acted as if nothing had happened, quietly bowing her head.
A strange sense of loss welled up in her heart.
When they got back to the Chu Family house, Linda had already had the silk delivered to the living room.
Su Ge picked it up and felt it; the material was very soft, perfect for making a Medicine Pillow.
But Linda was too generous; she instructed only two meters of silk, yet Linda sent over a dozen meters.
One Medicine Pillow wouldn’t need so much silk; wasn’t this too wasteful?
While Su Ge was worrying, she inadvertently looked up and saw Chu Yihan, who was playing with his phone on the sofa, put it down and tiredly rubbed his brow.
A thought crossed Su Ge’s mind; maybe, she should make a Medicine Pillow for him too?
Chu Yihan’s health was indeed not very good; he had been hospitalized several times, and although it might have been due to her angering him, if his constitution was stronger, perhaps he wouldn’t have encountered such severe issues.
So, it was necessary to take care of his body in advance.
Perhaps Su Ge was staring at Chu Yihan for too long; his gaze suddenly shifted towards her.
Su Ge, frightened, immediately bowed her head and instructed the servants to bring the silk to her room.
“Fourth Master, Lady, dinner is ready.”
At that moment, a servant from the kitchen came to report.
Chu Yihan withdrew his gaze, got up from the sofa, and walked briskly toward the dining room.
Perhaps because she had been quite active today, Su Ge was already feeling hungry and quickly headed to the dining room herself.
Dinner, as always, was sumptuous; just as Su Ge sat down at the table, Chu Yihan, sitting across from her, asked, “What were you about to say just now?”
“Ah?” Su Ge, realizing he had caught her stealthily watching him, hastily explained, “Nothing much, I was just a bit worried that Grandpa might not like the Medicine Pillow I’m giving him.” This update is available on novel·fiɾe·net
Chu Yihan expressionlessly picked up his utensils and began eating, “The Old Master and you both like lotuses; add more lotus in the Medicine Pillow, he’ll definitely love it.”
“Really?” Su Ge’s eyes slightly brightened, “Then, what flowers do you like?”
Actually, she already knew that Grandpa Chu liked lotuses,
Because there’s also a big Lotus Pond in the Chu Garden.
That’s why she had specially picked so many lotuses today, planning to select some of the best lotus petals to dry and put in the Medicine Pillow for the Old Master.
This way, she wasn’t afraid that he wouldn’t like it.
Chu Yihan’s eating motion paused slightly, and he coldly glanced at Su Ge.
“That, I was just asking casually; you don’t need to answer, hehe.”
Su Ge gave an awkward chuckle, then bowed her head to eat her rice.
Chu Yihan seemed not to like flowers at all.
Chu Yihan took a deep look at her and indeed didn’t respond.
After dinner, Su Ge went back to her room to make the Medicine Pillows.
As she had no experience with needlework, Su Ge had prepared some scraps of fabric to practice beforehand.
As expected, the initial attempts were disastrous, the stitches were crooked, uneven, and it wasn’t until late into the night that her skills somewhat improved, taking the whole night to finish the two Medicine Pillows.
The two Medicine Pillows served distinct purposes; the Old Master’s Medicine Pillow mainly targeted wind-fire headaches, high blood pressure, and neurasthenia, whereas the one made for Chu Yihan primarily aimed at calming the heart and mind.
Worried that Chu Yihan wouldn’t like the smell of medicine, Su Ge particularly added two special ingredients to minimize the medicinal scent, leaving the Medicine Pillow with only a faint fresh fragrance.
To prepare these two special ingredients, Su Ge meticulously blended them all morning until just before noon, finally getting the Medicine Pillows completely done.
