Chapter 389: Eve
Jiang Chengzi stood alone in the hall for a moment before going out. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Outside the door, the night was dark, and a crescent moon was on the treetops, as if it was hanging on the courtyard wall. The shadows of the flowers and trees in the flower garden are full of shadows, and they are sparse.
A gust of wind blew, so cold that Jiang Chengzi gathered her clothes, Bi Tao put the big coat on her, and whispered: "Girl, be careful about the steps here." β
"Hmm. Jiang Chengzi walked slowly to the inner courtyard, and just after walking a few steps, someone stood by the flower platform.
Others couldn't see it, but Jiang Chengzi could see that the person was Li Ke.
"Who?" asked Bi Tao sharply.
"It's the King of Shu, don't be surprised. Jiang Chengzi scolded.
Li Ke walked over to Shi Shiran and said with a smile: "Ah Zhi's eyesight is very good." β
"Whether your eyesight is good or not depends on your performance. She quipped.
Li Ke was stunned for a moment, then understood what she meant, laughed, and said, "Then I have to praise your eyesight here, which is really amazing." β
"Phew, where is the gold on your face?" she sneered, tightening the big squeeze.
Li Ke disagreed, and said with a smile: "I'm just telling the truth." β
Jiang Chengzi didn't continue to talk nonsense with him, and asked directly: "You are waiting for me here, isn't there something urgent?"
"There's no rush. I'm waiting for you right here, and I'll say a word to you. Li Ke stood with his hands in his hands, his eyes narrowed slightly, and those eyes were even more moving. Even if it is a man, Jiang Chengzi also thinks of words like "looking forward to life".
"What words?" Jiang Chengzi was curious.
"No matter what you are, no matter what kind of shortcomings you have, as long as you love me, my love for you will only increase. He stood with his hands in his hands, his tone serious and serious.
Jiang Chengzi didn't expect him to say such a thing, his heart was sweet and shy, and he was at a loss for a while, and his face was hot.
"You, go wash and sleep. Her heart was beating so fast that she couldn't hold it back.
"I'm serious. He emphasized.
Jiang Chengzi didn't dare to look at him this time, he only looked down at his skirt, his face couldn't stop being hot, Bi Tao was very interesting, and he was already standing far away.
"Your breath is out of order. Li Ke didn't go, but took a few steps forward, leaned over and whispered.
Jiang Chengzi only felt embarrassed, and thought that his confession seemed to be due to hear his conversation with A-Niang, so he quipped: "You have good ears!"
"Not only do I have good ears, but when I meet you, my ears are soft!" Li Ke said with a smile, his expression shameless.
Jiang Chengzi's back and forth jokes, but he stabilized his mind and did not panic immediately. She pursed her lips, glanced at him, and said, "Look at you like this, you are in your teens, and you don't have the innocence of a young man!"
Li Ke laughed and said, "In front of you, I'll just be myself, why do I mind so much?"
Jiang Chengzi lowered his eyes and chuckled, and said, "You have been in the dust these days, why don't you go and rest quickly, it's useless to talk about this." β
"What's the use?" he said, "so that you don't have a little worry about other thoughts, just with my heart, that's the most important thing." β
His voice was very low, brushing her ears, Jiang Chengzi only felt that his heart trembled, and he couldn't say how excited he was.
"Ah Zhi. He shouted again.
"Hmm. She didn't dare to look him in the eye, but bowed her head in reply.
Li Ke was about to say something, but Jiang Chengzi heard a voice on the other side of the front yard door, and she immediately listened attentively. Li Ke also heard the human voice, and he also listened attentively.
After listening for a while, Li Ke asked and said, "It seems that Wang Jingtian is back?"
Jiang Chengzi nodded and said, "Yes." β
"Then go to the antechamber and have a look. Li Ke proposed.
Jiang Chengzi knew that this matter was not just a matter of joining forces with Dafang for Yang Hong's treatment, since Yang Wang's statement today that Yang Gongren might be unfavorable to Liufang, then Dr. Wang's side could also take a temporary reprieve on his side.
"Bi Tao, palm lamp. Jiang Chengzi commanded loudly.
Standing under the eaves of the porch, Bi Tao trotted over with a lantern, shining on the mossy path, all the way to the front hall.
As soon as the three of them entered the front hall, they saw Dr. Wang come in with his apprentice, and just put the medicine box on the desk in the front hall. Wang Jingtian looked tired and tired.
"King Shu, Nine Girls. Wang Jingtian bowed.
"How is Yang Hong?" Li Ke asked directly.
Wang Jingtian raised his sleeve and wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said, "Sure enough, as I expected, it is the same kind of poison as my junior brother." β
"That means you can cure him?" Li Ke Shi Ran sat down.
Wang Jingtian nodded, and said proudly: "Back then, my junior brother was poisoned, and my master worked hard and studied for a long time, and created a unique method of detoxifying the decoction, and created a set of acupuncture methods specifically for this poison. β
"The Venerable Master is really a strange person. Jiang Chengzi admired.
Wang Jingtian laughed and said, "This is not my boasting, my master is indeed a genius in medicine." Alas, it's a pityβ"
"The deceased is gone, Mr. Wang should not be sad, when he enters the Gewu Academy, it is the greatest respect for him to carry forward your master's research and benefit all the people. Li Ke consoled.
"Thank you King Shu, I entered Chang'an this time, and I also have this intention. Wang Jingtian said.
Li Ke smiled and asked, "Can you cure Yang Hong." So, apart from you, can your junior brother be cured?"
Wang Jingtian shook his head and replied, "Senior Brother Liu is still young when he is getting started, so Master will drive the crane west. However, the acupuncture and decoction I used were not something that could be learned overnight. Therefore, Senior Brother Liu can only assist me, and he can't do it alone. β
"That's very good. Li Ke smiled.
Wang Jingtian is also a smart person, and he faintly sensed that something was wrong, so he asked: "I don't know if the King of Shu asked about this, is there anything wrong?"
"Exactly. Li Ke sat up straight and said very seriously.
Wang Jingtian's expression also became serious, and he asked, "King Shu, I don't know what instructions you have?"
"Now only you can cure Yang Hong, and the poison in him cannot be known at one time. I let you hang on to his life, but don't remove the poison. Li Ke commanded.
Wang Jingtian didn't agree immediately, and said with some embarrassment: "This-"
"I know that you are a benevolent doctor, and this matter is likely to involve the death of your master and brother, and it is also very likely that the murderer will be found. Therefore, you are extra attentive. Li Ke glanced at him, and he also saw the clue.
"I can't hide anything from the King of Shu, I really think so. Wang Jingtian is frank.
Li Ke raised his eyebrows, looked at Wang Jingtian and said: "I keep your matter in mind, since this poison has reappeared in the rivers and lakes, there is absolutely no reason to let the thief escape." β
"Thank you, King Shu. Wang Jingtian was very excited and bent down to salute.
"Mr. Wang doesn't have to be so polite. Li Ke said, "I still hope to listen to my instructions in the treatment of Yang Hong." β
"Yes. Wang Jingtian replied very dryly.
Li Ke looked at him for a moment before nodding solemnly and said, "I also need to tell you, now that the eldest master of the big house is back, it is likely to be unfavorable to the sixth room." To tell you the truth, in the worst-case scenario, you may play tricks to kill the nine girls. β
Wang Jingtian didn't expect it to be so serious before, and when he heard the King of Shu say this, he was very surprised, and couldn't help but look at Jiang Chengzi who was standing aside, and asked her with a shocked expression.
Jiang Chengzi nodded lightly and said, "What the King of Shu said is not alarmist. β
Wang Jingtian's brows furrowed, and he said: "I don't ask the internal reason, if this is the case, why don't I save it when I see death?"
Although he swore in front of his grandfather, the doctor is benevolent, and he can't see that he will not be saved. But compared to this, he prefers that the pair of children in front of him can grow up healthy and safe.
"Hahaha, if you live, you have to be as good as you like. Mr. Wang, that's very good. Li Ke was in a very good mood, stood up, and said to the maid who was waiting next to him, "Mr. Wang is tired of a day, go and prepare a hot bath for Mr. Wang, and send the supper prepared earlier." β
The maid had to be ordered to retreat, and Wang Jingtian waved his hand again and again and said that he couldn't help it. Li Ke shook his head and said: "You must be very tired from applying the needle today, you are the pillar of the country, this pair cannot be wasted." β
Wang Jingtian was very moved when he heard this, and thanked him again and again.
Li Ke stood up and said, "My own people, don't be so polite, rest early." β
After the two finished talking with Wang Jingtian, they came out of the front hall and walked in the cool night breeze for a while, Li Kecai said: "Thanks to Mr. Wang being here, Yang Hong's illness is so peculiar, but it can increase some bargaining chips." β
"Is it just to add some chips?" Jiang Chengzi asked. In fact, she herself knew that if Yang Gongren really cherished the old aristocratic alliance. So, what is Yang Hong's life and death?
Politics and power have always stepped on the corpses of countless people to reach the top.
"Well, only a little bit more. Li Ke's tone was serious.
Jiang Chengzi didn't speak, Li Ke thought she was worried, so he comforted again: "Ah Zhi, don't worry, everything has me." β
"I'm not worried. She said.
"Really?" Li Ke was not at ease, and stopped to look at her again.
"I'm relieved to have you here. She said mischievously.
Li Ke was stunned for a moment, then reached out and pinched her face, and said with a smile: "That's right." I have to say, you've got a really good husband......"
"Stop, please make a face. Jiang Chengzi hurriedly raised his palm, interrupting his boasting.
Li Ke was in a good mood, laughed again, and said, "You are shy, I know." β
"Phew. She pouted.
Li Ke waved his hand and said, "Go and rest, see you tomorrow." β
Jiang Chengzi stood under a young and newly sprouted Tsubaki tree, looking at his handsome face as jade, he only felt very comfortable.
"You go and rest, good. He waved his hand, "I'll see you go into the inner courtyard." β
Jiang Chengzi lowered his eyes and chuckled, his heart was indescribably happy, he only chuckled and said, "Okay, I'll go and rest first." β
She turned and walked away, only to feel that the night breeze was not so cold.
Back in the house, Abi was still kneeling on the ground, Jiang Chengzi was a little unhappy when she saw her, and asked coldly: "When I went out, I ordered Mrs. Yun to pass a message to you, just face the wall in this house, why are you still kneeling? β
Abi knelt for a long time, her body was already weak, her knees were unconscious, and she said tremblingly: "Yes, it was the maid who made her own mistakes, kneeling and reflecting, and it has nothing to do with the girl." β
Jiang Chengzi has seen a lot of doorways coming and going in the ancestral house these days. Inside the door of this house, there are also servants in success, and servants in defeat, she was frightened, and when she looked back, her personal maid Abina's behavior really didn't think she was the master.
Slaves are subordinates, cleverness is secondary, and exquisite heart is not necessary, but loyalty to the master, the heart is the most important.
She punished Ah Bi because she wanted to knock down people and know who was the master and who should be facing when she encountered something.
Originally, when she went out, she thought that she couldn't stand too much here, after all, this is an ancestral house, there are many people, and the water is very deep. Therefore, when she went out, she ordered the porter to find Mrs. Yun in the gatehouse of the inner house, and asked Mrs. Yun to pass on the message to you, so that you don't have to kneel, but only reflect in this room. Are you going to make a fuss now?"
"The servant doesn't dare, the servant doesn't dare. "Since Abi followed the Nine Girls, she hadn't seen her get so angry, and she was scared.
"Hmph, I think you're not a little timid. If you are sick or disabled, this Yang family's ancestral house will know that my nine girls treat their subordinates harshly. Perhaps, someone else will take the opportunity to make a fuss. Jiang Chengzi sneered.
Ah Bi only kowtowed again and again, and said with tears in her eyes: "It's the servant who is not thoughtful, and the servant who hasn't been cautious in his words and deeds." begged the girl to spare the servant, and the servant will be cautious in her words and deeds in the future. β
Jiang Chengzi didn't talk to her, but only said to Bi Tao: "Bi Tao, you help Abi to lie down on the bed over there, tell the kitchen to boil hot water and bring it, and then rub her knees for her, so as not to fall into any disease." β
"Yes. Bi Tao was instructed, and she didn't dare to say much. In the past, in Jinyuan County, the nine girls were very powerful, but they were not as strict with their subordinates as they are now. Even at that moment, the clumsy Bi Tao was also trembling, for fear that if one was not, he would do the wrong thing. Now, seeing that the ninth girl is so powerful, she didn't dare to say a word, and only bent down to help Abi up.
Ah Bi twisted her body and shouted, "Thank you, Miss Nine." β
"Don't talk anymore, I'm upset when I hear it. Let's keep it alive. Jiang Chengzi waved his hand, got up and went to the study.
Sitting in front of the desk, thinking of the Wang family's infighting and Yang Gongren's hypocrisy seen from Wang Anping's codex, she only felt cold. In the past, Yang Wang's family talked about the love between Wang Anping and Yang Gongren with her, and Yang Gongren protected their mother and son in Luoshui Grange, Jiang Chengzi thought that he was also in love with Wang Anping, but he was persecuted by the old lady, and he had to be separated from his sweetheart as a last resort, and in the end he could only be separated from heaven and man forever.
However, judging from Wang Anping's codex, Jiang Chengzi felt more and more that Yang Gongren was very similar to Zhou Puyuan in the drama "Thunderstorm", and it seemed to be a deep nostalgia like the sea, but in fact it was just hypocrisy.
"Such a beautiful encounter that day, in front of power, money and the fate of the family, it can also be worthless!" Jiang Chengzi sighed, only to feel panicked in his heart.
She didn't feel sleepy, so she simply spread out a piece of rice paper, carefully studied the ink, and prepared to write a few words in praise of Li Shimin to send to the Yingxi Inn. But if others see that she can write like this without a lamp, they will be frightened.
So, Jiang Chengzi got up to look for the fire fold, and as soon as he got up, he heard someone walking lightly on the house, and then landed gently in the courtyard. She was shocked in her heart, and she didn't care about lighting the fire, so she only took a silk scarf to cover her face, stared with bated breath, and held the dagger in her arms in her hand.
