The spring thunder sounded in the night, and the February drizzle spread down like a net, dyeing the city full of blue.

The smoky wind blew from the South China Sea, and the moist breath blew through the windows of the inn and the hands of travelers.

Ling Jieyu sat in front of the window, his deep clothes sparsely hanging to the ground. He withdrew his palm stained with residual rain, and looked into the distance, and the river around the city was like a belt, shining with golden light.

The room was extremely quiet for a while, and the Yutai incense burner swallowed the clouds and spit out mist, and the shadow of the sun moving north diffused all over the room.

He poured two cups of tea by himself, his right thumb buckled on the handle of the pot, and completed the movement very slowly.

The silent sound of the water stopped, and the door opened.

A young man stood in front of the door, smiling at him, like a pine in the snow.

"Good afternoon, sir."

Ling Jieyu stared at him for a moment, then slowly stood up, his sleeves folded in front of him, and bowed.

"陛xià."

It is still the etiquette when I was a young master, but ten years have passed, and the people who salute are not as high-spirited as they were then.

He raised his eyes, a gentle smile appeared in his eyes, and the corners of his lips curled:

"Your Majesty sits down. The minister's body is not as good as before, and he is inevitably a little tired when he stands and talks. ”

Sheng Yunyi waited for him to sit down, and then sat down on the opposite side, "Mr. has been running around for several days, and it is inevitable that he will not be able to bear it, and he should not read a book and see Zishi." ”

Ling Jieyu narrowed his eyes and said, "The minister didn't see Zishi." I slept for four or five hours during the day, and I was naturally refreshed at night. ”

He carefully looked at Sheng Yunyi's face, the young man who was as bright as a pearl in his memory was finally invisible, he had learned to restrain himself, and the former pride turned into a silent trace of light on the edge.

This is his only student.

Sheng Yun suddenly spoke: "The hairpin that Mr. taught me to make, I gave it away." ”

Ling Jieyu raised his eyebrows slightly, "Really?" ”

He was quite interested, and it was time to talk to him about business, so he would first say all these familiar greetings. After many years, bad habits still can't be changed, and it's not good.

Sheng Yunyi's gaze fell on the fingers curled up at the bottom of his sleeve, and his tone was soft: "I want Mr. to meet that girl, just leave Mr.'s injury to her, she is a doctor." ”

Ling Jieyu shook his head and said, "I don't want to heal these hands. You know, I won't be in Fanjing again in this life, and I don't want to enter the official career again. Twenty years ago, I went to Beijing from Nan'an to take the test, and then I was promoted to the East Palace from the Hanlin Academy, and then from Shao Zhan Shi to the young master, and now my wish is fulfilled, I have nothing to desire, this position of governor, I have long wanted to resign. ”

"Is the gentleman satisfied with me, or with the current situation?"

Ling Jieyu sighed, "Yue Fan has put me under house arrest in Lianyun City for nearly a year, and you can't be satisfied, so I can't be happy." But whether I'm satisfied or not, now I really want to be alone. ”

"The world is as short as a streamer, not only to fulfill one's own will, but also to be able to carry the long-cherished wishes of others, Mr. taught, I never dared to forget."

Ling Jieyu's eyes were still unwavering, waiting for him to finish speaking.

"Do you want to say that when you are not confused, people's state of mind will change? Now I only wish to live in seclusion in my hometown with my wife and mother, away from strife, and seek peace and prosperity in my life, but as long as you still have the intention of separating from Beijing, the reality will not be the same as imagined. ”

Sheng Yunyi's calm voice echoed in the room, the person in his eyes was dressed in green clothes, his face was clear, and he was vaguely indestructible in the old years, but he was indeed no longer a familiar teacher in the study of the East Palace.

In the thirty-second year of the Ministry of Rites, the house of Wei Yu was raided, the family was imprisoned, and the young master of the Eastern Dynasty was implicated, and he was demoted out of Fanjing by a holy decree. For hundreds of years, the dynasty has never been degraded into the vice-capital envoy into the Imperial Court, and the three mutual laws have become a dead letter, but the governor who returned to Nan'an for thousands of miles is surrounded by villains and is in danger, and he does not know when he can return to Beijing. The first emperor cherished his talents, so that the young master who had not yet come to the stage could have a comeback, but he hated Lu Ming and Wei Yu's party, stripping him of all the glory he had earned with his talent, and the will was extremely subtle.

So he continued: "Sir was forced to leave the East Palace when I was twelve years old, and he didn't even have time to call the words he gave me. It wasn't until my father died that I realized that he had left my husband to me. When I went to the Agarwood Hall to intercede for my grandfather, he said that if he had the ability in the future, he could naturally do everything he wanted. During the nine years of my father's lifetime, Mr. was still able to resist the invitation of the Yue clan several times for the imperial court, why couldn't he guard Nan'an for me for another five years, so as to ensure that the wind and rain were smooth and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment? ”

Ling Jieyu smiled: "I'm not the god of the land, how can I make Nan'an smooth and rainy?" ”

"Sir can do anything."

The sunlight in the room shone on his snow-white clothes, and his smile was bright and calm.

Ling Jieyu returned to the warm pavilion of the East Palace in a trance, and the child was severely reprimanded by him, but such a sincere compliment came out after being scolded. At that time, he thought that he should be able to be a teacher for many years.

Entering the Hanlin Academy was exactly what he wanted, and entering the East Palace was not what he expected, he stayed in it for five or six years, and poured all his heart and soul into the young Eastern Dynasty. The wish is fulfilled, and it is satisfied with the outcome of this experience - the boy has grown up, and he is no longer young. Ling Jieyu looked at him as if he had caught a passing of time.

"If the gentleman insists on fading out of politics, I can't force it. The gentleman should know that Nan'an after the beginning of the summer is a place that urgently needs to be governed and pacified by the ministers of the humerus. After the war, the beacon fire was not extinguished, and my general led the troops north to join Mingzhou, where the recuperation and recuperation are closely related to the national ancestor, and if you are not careful, you will lose at both ends. The capital is far away from Nan'an, but my husband's family and fellow villagers are close at hand, and when I am unable to handle the affairs of the three southern provinces myself, I would like to see what my husband does for the two provinces and six prefectures. ”

Ling Jieyu rubbed the smooth porcelain cup with his fingertips and gently pushed it over.

Sheng Yunyi's heart was relieved, and he said patiently: "Mr. is so thoughtful, don't rush to give me an answer." ”

Ling Jieyu took a sip of hot tea, was silent for a while, and asked, "Is that girl quiet and polite, not good at dealing with people, and very good-looking?" ”

"Yes."

He knocked on the rim of the cup, "That's right, I used to think you liked this." Whose girl? ”

Sheng Yunyi was stunned, "My family." ”

“……”

He rarely held his forehead with some embarrassment, and defended: "It means that she is related to the Lu family, and General Lu is also my grandfather in name, so he is also a member of the family." ”

"Too reluctantly."

Ling Jieyu lightly dropped three words, "Okay, when those river drum guards take me to King Zhao's mansion, I have time to ask." ”

Sheng Yunyi said: "I have repaired the book for her yesterday, and I told her that Mr. is coming." ”

"Bang Xiang is here, I can't embarrass her."

Sheng Yunyi bowed his head, "Then if Mr. is fine, I will leave." Tomorrow Ji Wei will send Mr. to twenty miles outside the city gate, and set off at the end of the day, and Mr. will rest more tonight. ”

"Chonghua."

"What else does the gentleman command?"

Ling Jieyu curled the corners of her mouth in the warm light, "I've grown taller." ”

*

A few days passed in the blink of an eye, and the pill had been completely prepared, and Su Hui was able to relax and began to work on Yan Xugui's affairs.

Although Yan Xugui lived in Zhao Wangfu, she ran outside all day, she asked the next person, and the answer she got was that Yan Gongzi had only slept in the room for one night in the past few days. She didn't want to make a lot of trouble, but when she heard that he was not available, she couldn't help but feel a little relaxed, and she was in a good mood to read in Yuqiao Pavilion, but she was pulled out by Xu Buyang.

"Yan Xugui came back yesterday, do you know?"

Su Huihui calmly said that he was not clear.

Xu Buyang sighed twice, "Your motives are not pure, you really don't care about the patients at all." I tell you, I was carried out of his door at night, and Chang Sui let me in, as if he knew I was coming. Senior sister, I have touched his pulse! ”

His eyes lit up, and Su Huihui saw that his hair stood on end, "What are you going to do to him!" ”

Xu Buyang said disdainfully: "What are you thinking in your head!" You can't guess that his pulse is very normal, his face is not good, and he can't tell that he has been poisoned at all. If he hadn't introduced me a few words, I would have thought I had been deceived on the spot. ”

"Some of the medicines that have been poured down are not visible, which makes people have a headache."

"The potency of this poison can be passed on from generation to generation, which means that his father and grandfather carry it. Senior sister, you have been in Fanjing for so long, have you never heard of anything strange about the Yan family? ”

She said vaguely: "No, how many years has Yan Xugui's grandfather passed away, Duanyang Houye closed his eyes in front of me, and I didn't see anything abnormal." ”

Su Hui sorted out his thoughts, and suddenly remembered her experience of prescribing medicine to patients in the Dingguo Mansion.

Dingguo Gong's sister Chang Shi was crazy, forty years ago was promised to the first generation of Duanyang Hou, three days after the marriage was driven home, since then delirious.

It stands to reason that a healthy lady is too exaggerated to become like this for a man, isn't there something hidden?

Her memories are frozen in that day, for decades.

- "The Beginning of the Dao...... Dao Chu, he, how could he become like that! Yingxue, I'm afraid! ”

What did she see?

Su Huihui involuntarily made up a story in her heart, if a young girl with a high heart and arrogance married someone she liked, but that person suddenly behaved very scariously, which was not the same as she imagined, then it was natural to be stimulated.

It's a pity that she only stayed in Mrs. Chang's room for half an hour, and she didn't dare to ask more.

She became more and more curious, and a little angry, since she had entrusted her with the tricky things, then she should tell them the truth, guessing and speculating should not be her task.

This patient is too ignorant.

Su Hui came back to his senses, Xu Buyang had already written a prescription and stuffed it into her hand, "You are responsible for decocting the medicine according to the prescription, and I will leave it to my senior brother to get to the bottom of it." When I figure it out, let's work together! ”

He lay down on the couch and raised a hand, and Su warmly snapped it off: "How good is your heart, you dare to hold your claws up!" ”

"In short, my sister will go to the pharmacy in the afternoon, the reason why I want my sister to do these tedious tasks is because we can't trust other people's craftsmanship. If it feels like it's really troublesome, get over it, okay. ”

Su Huihui glared at him angrily, weighing the pros and cons, but he was still unwilling to face Yan Xugui in her place.

She replied helplessly, "Well, you can go out." ”

There was nothing to do left and right, so I simply went to work after lunch. Su warmed his hand and pinched the piece of paper, one head and two big. She knew that they were busy as doctors, so they rarely wrote neatly, but this was too much of a test of kung fu.

The prescription was roughly written by Xu Buyang according to Yan Xugui's description, and it was easy to identify the names of the medicines in the prescription, so she felt that this senior brother was actually quite cautious in his job. Because none of them had seen the specific onset of the disease, they were prescribed some warm medicinal materials, which were very expensive and difficult to buy on the market.

Zhao Wangfu was assassinated, and the master was extremely respectful to their group of people, and he turned his own treasury upside down. Su Huihui watched the maid lightly carry all kinds of boxes into the pharmacy, and sighed that it was convenient for the rich man to act.

The maid found her a secluded and vacant room, closed the door tightly, and tinkered with it in an old black robe.

In the past, she was very skilled in playing with her master, and her basic skills were solid, and she was quite able to stand up to the scene. She wiped the sweat from her forehead, and it was quite difficult to look at the five separate small stoves together. Sitting on the bamboo stool, she rubbed her knees as she picked up the paper again, and the hand on her leg suddenly froze.

She misread two words.

It's not that her eyes are bad, it's that there is something really wrong with this writing! Both combinations can boil out a dark and dreary pot of medicine, but the heat is ...... Her eyes were hooked on the raging flames.

The heat was not right, and she directly took a riskier method in order to save time, which was probably going to be worse.

Su Huihui jumped up and covered his face with his collar, scooped a large spoonful of sand to extinguish the fire, only to hear a bang, and the lid of the crockpot was washed out by the bulging foam.

She didn't have time to pick up the lid with her hands, and lay down at the bottom with great effort to extinguish the fire completely, her face was all ash, her eyes were fascinated, and tears flowed down her face.

The maid of the guard outside the pharmacy saw the person who was frying the medicine inside rushing out wrapped in a robe, and asked in a loud voice:

"Lord Su?"

"I'll be right back!"

Su Huihui covered his face tightly, coughing so much that his throat was about to smoke. She looked through her fingers, rushed to the nearby old lady's quarters, and broke into the chamber of the maid outside, and said eagerly:

"Do you have a clean cloth? And water! ”

Bang Xiang heard the sound and hurriedly ran from the inner room, holding a blue dark coat that had just faded in his hand:

"What's wrong?"

Su Huihui bit her lip and put down her hand, revealing a black and white face, and said to her, "The stove is over, I'll change my clothes and go back." ”

Her eyes were really uncomfortable, she closed her eyes and combed her hair, patting the ashes on her body, "I'm sorry, the maid who lives here has to sweep the house." ”

A handkerchief dipped in tea was handed over, and she took it through hazy tears and thanked her. When he wiped away his tears, the handkerchief almost fell to the dusty floor.

She looked at the person in front of her in a daze, but she had never seen before, and felt that a great disaster was coming.

It was the face she had seen in Zou Yuan, the alley behind the pharmacy, and the Yuan family in Wucheng, with calm eyebrows and a bearing like the moon, staring at her with a smile at this time.

Governor Nan'an's right deputy capital Yushi, Ling Jieyu.

This...... Coming so soon?

Bang Xiang hugged her, "It's okay, I'll wipe it for you." This is my husband, the young master you are very interested in, just stepped into the threshold, what a coincidence. ”

Su warmed his steps and waited until he got out of the compartment to grab her cuffs, unable to speak for a long time.

Bang Xiang touched her messy hair, "It's okay, don't be nervous." ”

Su Hui was about to cry, "My stomach hurts......"
