98. Heart of the Purple Lamp
"That's right, mother," Tao Zhijin looked up from her arms, "Did you say that Luo Yaosi is also Tao Zhimo's person?" โ
"Why not? If not, you can make up the three years in the valley with her? Madame Tao glanced at her coldly. This daughter of hers, under her protection for a long time, has not enough heart and eyes, and she can't hold her breath.
"So, should we find a way to make her our man?" Tao Zhijin whispered, "I heard that the fourth brother likes her, have you ever thought about it...... The fourth brother's marriage? โ
Her eldest brother Tao Lingfeng's concubine had already been happy not long ago, but it was less than three months old and she couldn't report the good news. And Tao Lingyun, before he married his wife and had children, his mother categorically would not let those intercourse maids and concubines give birth to those eldest sons. As for her fourth brother, all the servants who have been serving him for many years have never seen him look at any of the maids in the house.
Hearing her mention Tao Lingyu, Mrs. Tao's soft face instantly turned cold, "Your fourth brother?" He still wants to marry a daughter-in-law? I'm afraid that I won't be able to give birth if I get married! โ
Because her daughter is still a girl's family, her words are not so ugly. Oh, it's hard to say whether this sick seedling can be humane.
"Mother!" Tao Brocade was a little unhappy. She doesn't know why, her mother has always doted on her and her second brother, and she is obedient to the second brother, and she is also afraid of melting in her mouth, and she is afraid of falling in her hands, even if she is not her biological eldest brother, she also pretends to care on her face, but when she comes to the fourth brother, it is like a ...... I wish he were dead. No, it's more like, I hope he's better alive than dead.
She also stuck to her fourth brother when she was a child, but her mother didn't like it, and always asked her to play with her second brother. In fact, the second brother was naughty when he was a child, and he always loved to bully her, and the fourth brother was good to her. But later, she always felt that the fourth brother preferred Tao Zhimo, so she ignored him. Until now, the relationship between the two is still a little cold.
"Mother, has the fourth brother always been like this? I look at Na Luo Yaosi, people are not bad, the fourth brother married her, she can still take care of the fourth brother. โ
"Your fourth brother can take a fancy to her, do you think she can take a fancy to such a sick man?"
"Then ......" Tao Zhijin wanted to say something, but Mrs. Tao suddenly stood up and interrupted her, "Okay, you are a girl, what are you doing worrying about your fourth brother's marriage?" Soon it will be the queen's birthday, why don't you hurry up and embroider your picture of a hundred birds and a phoenix. โ
Seeing that her face was impatient, Tao Zhijin could only bow her head and be blessed.
The next day, Xiaoxiao Temple.
"Miss," Seeing the purple lamp go out of the house, the butterfly stepped forward, walked to Tao Zhimo's ear and whispered, "Miss, last night Mrs. Tao found the spiritual liquid we placed under Miss Seven's bed. โ
"What!" Tao Weaving almost jumped, "How could you find out?" โ
"Miss Seven's cat Linglong was poisoned after eating it by mistake, and it happened that Mrs. Tao was present and was discovered. But don't worry, they have no evidence for this matter, and the spiritual fluid is their own, and they won't make a statement. It is...... I'm afraid that in the future, Mrs. Tao will be more wary of the people in our entire Xiaoxiao Courtyard. โ
Hearing Butterfly say this, Tao Zhimo was much more relieved, "It's okay, she was already wary of us." โ
"Besides, I received a letter from Concubine Yan in the palace today, and Concubine Yan asked you to attend the queen's Thousand Autumn Festival."
"Am I present?" Tao Zhimo frowned, although this Concubine Yan was Mrs. Tao's sister-in-law, she had already entered the palace before she was born. She rarely goes out of the palace, and she rarely enters the palace, the two of them have never met in person, what do you ask her to do for no reason? What's more, when will it be her turn to attend the Qianqiu Festival, and she asked, "When is the queen's birthday?" โ
"June 15."
"That's still early." Tao Zhimo is not in a hurry, there is still more than a month to go.
"Miss, the second master confessed before leaving, I can't let you enter the palace. If you are sure that you will not enter the palace, then we have to start arranging it now, otherwise I am afraid that it will be difficult to refuse. "Mrs. Tao will definitely not give Tao Zhimo time to prepare, I'm afraid she won't be notified until a few days before the Qianqiu Festival.
Tao Zhimo thought about it seriously, even if she could see Concubine Zhen and others when she entered the palace, she would not be able to help the Jimo family, and Mo Wangnan had already said that this matter would be handled by him, and she trusted him, so there was no need for her to enter the palace. Thinking of the loss she suffered last time she entered the palace, she still didn't shy away from this palace, so she said: "If you don't enter the palace, you will arrange it." โ
"Yes, miss." The butterfly retreated.
In the following days, Mrs. Tao and Tao Zhijin didn't do anything, and Tao Zhimo was developing her flower tea, and sometimes she would think of the case of Ananda's family, and couldn't help but secretly ask the butterflies, but every time the butterflies always reassured her.
Later, under her knock on the side, she found that Butterfly knew where Ananda's garden was, so she wanted Butterfly to take her to visit Ananda, but Butterfly was either embarrassed, or she looked at him left and right, and couldn't withstand the soft grinding and hard foam of Tao Weaving, so she helped her and Ananda send a few letters back and forth.
A month later, Xiaoxiao Temple.
"Got a letter?" Tao Weaver was still indoors, so he saw the letter in the butterfly's hand from the window, and hurriedly ran out and took it happily. Is it Mo Wangnan's? Or Ananda's? She had a little expectation in her heart, and when she took it, it turned out to be Ananda's, and a small sense of loss floated in her heart.
However, she was naturally happy to receive Ananda's letter, and quickly opened the letter, and was ecstatic after only a few glances, "It's so good! She danced with joy at once.
"Miss, what's wrong?" Twilight asked with a smile, her body had fully recovered, and she had been waiting by Tao Zhimo's side more than half a month ago.
"Look!" Tao Zhimo smiled and showed her Ananda's letter.
When Cai Wei saw it, she covered her mouth and snickered. This must be a letter that is difficult to ink, and only his letter will Miss show others generously. But if she is the second master, she will hide back in the room to watch, and after reading it, she will stuff it under the pillow. Sometimes you can see her secretly taking out the letter at night and reading it repeatedly. Miss, you must be tempted by the second master.
Twilight took the letter and stretched it outโ
Weaving foam, this time the magnolia tea is very fragrant, the entrance is elegant, the lips and teeth are fragrant, and even alfalfa is loved.
Her brother has been looking for an antidote for us outside, and a few days ago came the good news, saying that he had found the antidote to Gu poison, and he wanted to have news in the next few days. If you can unravel the Gu safely, you should be told as soon as possible.
ไธqiฤๅฎๅบท, don't read it.
Cai Wei saw her sister's smile and also leaned over to take a look, and she knew it in her heart. In fact, Miss and Jimo are difficult, and the two are innocent. Alas, I don't know if the shopkeeper of the pawnshop before was blind, and what did the young lady rush up to hug the son of Jimo, and she was still reluctant, and turned back three times in one step, phew!
Suddenly, Chun Tao at the gate of the courtyard coughed lightly, and Twilight Yu realized that it was the purple lamp coming, and hurriedly put the letter in her sleeve.
Tao Weaving Mo realized it, and hurriedly accepted the joyful mood. Now there is only one outsider in their courtyard, except for the two sisters, Chujing and Xia Hua, the rest are their own people.
Soon, the purple lamp turned in from the moon gate, and the spring peach behind him was holding a tray.
Seeing Tao Zhimo, Zi Deng smiled all over his face, "Miss, I cooked you white fungus lotus seed soup, which has been chilled, you can try it quickly." โ
"Okay." Tao Zhimo smiled and sat down on a stone chair in the courtyard.
Soon, the tray was brought to the stone table, Tao Zhimo picked up the spoon, stirred it in the jade porcelain bowl, and saw that the white fungus was boiled into a gelatinous shape, sticky and unformed, and the lotus seeds that were cored were divided into two petals, which couldn't help but awaken the memories of her previous life. She remembered that in her previous life in the Xiangfu for four years, she had been without three meals, let alone what bird's nest she ate. At that time, Zi Deng could occasionally get white fungus from the warehouse, and she would boil the white fungus to make it sticky for her, and laughed that it was the bird's nest porridge of poor families.
Tao Zhimo scooped up a spoonful and was about to put it in his mouth, and habitually glanced up at Chun Tao behind Zi Deng, but saw that Chun Tao's eyes were urgent, and shook his head at her.
"Miss, what's wrong?" Zi Deng hurriedly asked, and saw that the pottery foam spoon had been sent to his lips, but he did not open his mouth to eat.
Tao Zhimo put down the spoon and saw that a lot of fine water droplets had emerged from the chilled porcelain bowl, so he smiled and said, "In the past few days, I feel a faint pain in my lower abdomen, and I think that the water is coming, and I don't want to eat ice anymore." As he spoke, he pushed the bowl forward, "Let it be so cold for a while before eating." โ
"yes, okay." Zi Lan smiled, but his hand tightened.
"Sister Zi Deng," a little girl suddenly called at the gate of the courtyard, "The kitchen has sent this month's use." โ
"Oh," Zi Deng replied, and then turned to Chun Tao behind him and ordered, "You go and take stock." โ
"Chun Tao will go later," Twilight smiled, "I still have to keep Chun Tao to embroider something for me." Just go, there's someone waiting for you, Miss. โ
"Oh, that's good." Zi Deng's smile was a little unnatural, but he still retreated with Xiao Yahuan.
As soon as the purple lamp retreated, Tao Zhimo asked a little puzzled, "She poisoned me?" "Mrs. Tao, did they strike so quickly?
Chun Tao shook her head and said in a low voice: "No, but she just took Xiaoliu and the others away, and I saw her secretly spit a few mouthfuls of phlegm into this bowl......"
As soon as Chun Tao's words fell, Tao Zhimo immediately felt sick to his stomach. After the nausea, she felt a little sad, why did she do this? Could she ...... An idea popped up in Tao Zhimo's heart.
Purple Lantern hates her? yes, maybe she guessed wrong from the beginning. Purple Lantern didn't betray her for any money power, maybe it was just ...... Because I hated her, I used such a naรฏve and low-cost method to retaliate against her. But why did she hate her?
