On duty at night was a Daogu physician from Qingyun Temple, who hurriedly ran over.

The patient named Liu Lan looked at the sky with a desperate and dull gaze, his right wrist hung under the bed, and the blood on his wrist kept dripping to the ground, and there was already a large pool of blood on the ground.

Doctor Daogu was angry and angry, and while taking the hemostatic powder to Liu Lan to stop the bleeding, he reprimanded: "We finally saved your life, and the Lord of Jing County also gave you free medicine to remove skin burns, why are you so despicable to life?" ”

Liu Lan seemed to be wandering in the underworld and didn't say a word.

The little girl who screamed just now is more than seven years old this year, and her family is from Wangcheng County, just an ordinary family, and everyone in the family, including her grandparents, came five days ago.

The family was afraid that they would take her over and her injuries would be repeated, so they stayed in a cheap inn three streets away from the Hou Mansion, and came to guard her every day with dry food, and only went back at night.

The little sister couldn't help but whisper: "Fairy Gu, yesterday there was a big slave in Sister Liu Lan's house, and she obviously recognized Sister Liu Lan, but she said that she didn't know her and left." ”

Doctor Daogu asked the little sister to pay attention to Liu Lan, and went out to get the calming powder and brewed it into a potion for Liu Lan to drink.

Liu Lan refused to drink the potion and spit it all out.

Doctor Daogu is more fiery than Guangmingzi, she couldn't beat Liu Lan, so she stomped her feet angrily, and waited for the early morning to report the matter to Li Jingjing, the owner of the pharmacy, and asked: "County lord, will we send Liu Lan back to Liu's mansion directly today, or will we still keep her in the pharmacy to recuperate?" ”

After seeing Li Jingjing's superb medicinal skills and dealing with her for a few days, Dr. Daogu admired her in her heart, because she was a registered disciple of Chi Lingzi, and unconsciously regarded her as her own person, and she spoke as "we".

"The big slave maid of the Liu Mansion came and pretended not to know Liu Lan, because he was ordered by the master of the mansion and didn't want Liu Lan to return to the house. There must be a hidden secret in this that cannot be seen. Liu Lanmo returned home and lived in the medicine building first. I'll look into it. Li Jingjing went to find Li Li when she left the medicine building.

Only half a day later, Li Li and Li Jingjing gave back the message to Liu Fu.

It turned out that Liu Fu had an imperial concubine at the beginning of the dynasty, who was a prominent family in Tanzhou a few decades ago, and was a first-class rich and noble family in Hunan Province.

At the beginning of the Ding Dynasty, in order to restore the former wealth, Liu Mansion tried his best to cultivate the young ladies in the mansion.

At present, the princes and county kings of the royal family are very young, and some have not even decided to marry.

Last year, He Jingsheng came to Tanzhou, and Liu Fu couldn't wait to take the two young ladies to the banquet, hoping to be looked at, who knew that they quarreled with the other three young ladies with the same purpose, but they actually made a move, one face was scratched, the other was pushed down the river, and their reputation was ruined.

This year, Liu Fu wants to send all six young ladies in the mansion to the prince and the prince to choose through the relationship in Chang'an.

As long as there is a daughter who can become the side concubine of the county king, she will be the side princess in the future. Liu Fu climbed up to the prince, and wealth is indispensable.

If you are lucky, there is a daughter who can be favored by the prince, even if it is just a concubine, and the prince will ascend the throne in the future, at least canonized as a beauty, if you give birth to a son, it is also possible to be the imperial concubine. If this son becomes the emperor, Liu Fu will ascend to the sky in one step.

At this juncture, the Liu Mansion can't make a difference, and the reputation of the six young ladies in the mansion can't be damaged.

Liu Lan's appearance is not the most outstanding among the six young ladies, but she is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and has long been known as a talented woman, and she is kind-hearted and gentle, and she is the most promising person to be chosen by the prince and the king of the county.

A few years ago, Liu Lan was unwell on the way to the banquet, and returned alone with the slave and maid in a sedan chair, and was kidnapped by the Tanzhou accomplices who had been staring at her.

After her disappearance, Liu Fu was afraid of a bad reputation, so he did not go to the government to report the case, and when someone asked, he said that she was sick, and on the third day, he announced that she had died violently, and had done a simple funeral for her, and buried an empty coffin.

A few days ago, the Hunan Provincial Governor's Mansion sent someone to send a message to Liu's Mansion, asking the people in the Mansion to pick up Liu Lan from the Hou's pharmacy as soon as possible.

Liu Lan has been missing for nearly a month, and the accomplices of the Tanzhou Gang did not ruin her innocence in order to sell her for a high price.

The messenger deliberately told Liu Fu about the matter, and also said that the injuries on her body would heal in 100 days, and would not leave any scars.

It stands to reason that Liu Fu should be very happy when he gets the news, but who knows that the people in Liu Mansion are in a very unhappy mood, and they believe that Liu Lan's reputation is ruined, and if they return to the house, it will affect the other five daughters to go to Chang'an to be elected.

After several elders in the house discussed, they decided not to pick up Liu Lan, did not recognize her identity, and treated her as if she had already done a funeral, and ordered that no one in the house should talk about it again.

Li Jingjing glared angrily and said loudly: "What a Liu family who claims to be a famous family in Tanzhou, it really opened my eyes." They are so vicious and selfish, their flesh and blood have suffered such a big disaster, and they don't hurry to care and consol, they are actually abandoned in cold blood, and they are not as good as ordinary people! ”

Li Li felt pity for Liu Lan's fate in his heart, shook his head and sighed, and continued: "Miss, the one sent by the Liu Mansion to see Liu Lan yesterday was the big slave maid in front of Liu Lan's grandmother. This big slave was on the orders of Liu Lan's grandfather, and he hurriedly met Liu Lan, and in addition to denying her in person, he also said some threatening words. Liu Lan had to choose to commit suicide by cutting her wrists in the middle of the night. ”

Li Jingjing was angry and asked, "Liu Fu is so ruthless and vicious, doesn't Liu Lan's father and mother care?" ”

Li Li nodded slightly and continued: "Miss asked well, I was about to tell you." ”

While the two were talking, Li Yunxiao and He Yiyang came.

He Yiyang and Li Yunxiao wore the same style of clothes and pants, the former was royal blue, the latter was sea blue, and they looked like brothers, but the young Li Yunxiao looked like an elder brother.

He Yiyang sat in a wheelchair and pushed Lin Hai to the threshold of the hall, and then Lin Hai moved into the hall with the wheelchair.

Li Yunxiao greeted Li Li, and He Yiyang nodded slightly.

"Uncle Di has assigned you too little homework, why do you have time to play with me every day?" Li Jingjing looked at the two young people who were now inseparable from morning to night, and really didn't know how they could play together with completely different personalities.

Li Yunxiao hurriedly explained: "Sister, you really underestimate us. We didn't do a lot of homework at all, and we wrote 300 large characters alone. We just do it fast. ”

He Yiyang's big eyes were bright, his smile was bright, and he said loudly: "Xiao Jing Niang, I'll show you something good!" ”

Li Jingjing said angrily: "The day before yesterday, I was asked to see the dead sparrow, the day before yesterday was a dead crow, and yesterday I was asked to see the dead swallow." Hmph, that's what you're talking about? ”

At present, the first lunar month has not passed, and it is unlucky to look at dead things.

However, He Yiyang said that she is a great pharmacist, and she always deals with dying patients, so she does not need to be taboo.

Li Yunxiao spread his hands and said, "Sister, we don't let you see the dead sparrows, crows, and swallows, how do you judge who makes the slingshot hit the bird accurately and well?" ”

Li Jingjing said unhappily: "I knew that you had a slingshot to play birds all day long, so I won't help you change that picture." ”

He Yiyang said loudly: "Now you see that we have beaten something, and you have to say good!" ”

"I don't have the time to look at it this time, I have to deal with the matter of human life." Li Jingjing asked Li Li to continue.

The two children beat the live bird to death with a slingshot, even if it was a phoenix that was killed, she would not feel good.

Li Li continued: "Liu Lan is the eldest daughter and has a younger brother who is the same father and mother. Liu Lan's biological mother was the original spouse, who died of illness a few years ago, and her current stepmother was married by Liu Lan's father. ”

Li Yunxiao and He Yiyang were inexplicable when they heard it, so they beckoned Wangying, who liked to talk the most, and asked her to tell her what was going on.

Li Jingjing sighed lightly and said, "Having a stepmother is equivalent to having a stepfather." How old is Liu Lan's younger brother? ”

Li Li replied: "Liu Lan's younger brother is named Liu Song, and he is just five years old this year. ”

Li Jingjing asked, "Where is Liu Lan's biological mother's maiden home?" ”

"Her biological mother, Dong's mother's family, was originally a big businessman in Tanzhou, and she lost money in business a few years ago, and moved back to her hometown of Yongzhou, but she came to mourn when Dong died, and then she never came." It was not the first time that Li Li had done an errand for Li Jingjing, knowing that she was very demanding, and deliberately asked the people who inquired about Liu's Mansion to ask about all aspects.

"What is Dong's dowry?"

"At that time, the talents of the Liu Mansion withered, and there was only an empty shelf left in the mansion, which was to fancy the Dong family's large amount of money, which made the sister-in-law marry the Dong family, who was a merchant girl. The Dong family's dowry to the Dong family was only three shops, 700 acres of fertile land, and 30,000 taels of silver tickets. ”

"Li Huan, you will pass a few words to Liu Lan for me." Li Jingjing made a small face and said loudly: "Liu Lan, you have read so many books, your head is really stupid." If you die, your brother is only five years old, can he survive in Liufu, where people's hearts are dark? ”

Li Huan repeated the words and went to the pharmacy.

He Yiyang said excitedly: "Xiao Linzi, take out the things and show them to Xiao Jingniang!" ”

Lin Hai took out a large burlap bag from under the wheelchair with a bitter face, and the living creatures in it were still moving and struggling.

Li Jingjing immediately said: "Although the carpet in my hall is not from Persia, it is worth twenty taels of silver. There are blood stains on the sack, so don't put it on the carpet, just take it to the yard and open it. ”

Lin Hai didn't wait for He Yiyang to speak, then obediently walked out of the hall, untied the hemp rope at the mouth of the burlap bag, and poured out a few beautiful birds with snow-white feathers on the ground.

Li Jingjing exclaimed: "Pigeons? ”

"You didn't expect that, did you?" He Yiyang sat in a wheelchair and laughed proudly in the hall, and said very proudly: "Half of the six pigeons I shot will be given to you, and you will let the cook stew a soup to drink at night." ”

The first month has not yet passed, the weather in Hunan Province is gloomy and cold, and there are not many birds in the huge Houfu. He went around with Li Yunxiao for three days before he found more than 40 pigeons in an uninhabited compound in a remote corner.

These pigeons are so stupid that they are not afraid of people.

If it weren't for the fact that he was too excited when he hit the pigeon with a long-range slingshot, he let out a loud laugh and scared the pigeon away, and he would have shot it down even more.

The other half of the pigeons he had shot were to be taken back to the cook for the three old men to eat.

Li Yunxiao came out and said excitedly: "Sister, I shot six, and he also shot six, but I killed all the pigeons, he only killed three, and three were still alive." Am I better than him in the slingshot? ”

Li Li walked out quickly, stood in the yard and stared at the pile of snow-white pigeons on the ground, shocked.

Li Jingjing glanced at Li Li, who was out of shape.

She looked at them one by one, and walked over to one of them, which was completely dead, and saw that it was different from the others, with a very small bamboo tube tied to its right foot.

"Xiao Yanzi, you all beat six, and you only killed them. You're amazing. ”

Li Yunxiao chuckled, turned his head and said loudly to He Yiyang: "Little thin man, my sister said that I beat the slingshot better than you." You lose. ”

He Yiyang turned his face to look away, and snorted coldly: "Don't accept it!" ”

Li Jingjing's little head shook slightly from side to side, and said seriously: "Xiao Yanzi, I don't know how to play a slingshot, if you really want him to lose convincingly, go find someone who knows how to play a slingshot to judge." ”

Li Yunxiao asked, "Who in the house knows how to slingshot?" ”

Li Jingjing blinked and asked, "Who else in the mansion has seen that picture besides us?" ”

"I'm going to find grandpa with the little thin man." Li Yunxiao excitedly asked Lin Hai to put the pigeon on the ground back into the burlap bag.

Li Jingjing said loudly towards the backs of the two little ones: "Xiao Yanzi, remember to tell grandpa what you and I said just now." Then he'll think you're awesome. ”

Li Li looked at Li Jingjing with a smile.

"Grandpa Li Li, just laugh out loud, how uncomfortable it is to hold back." Li Jingjing chuckled.

Li Li laughed heartily, shook his head and said, "Miss, the second young master is miserable this time." ”

"Whoever told him to have nothing to do when he was full, took the little thin man everywhere to plague the birds, and harmed his grandfather's precious pigeon."

"Miss is really a master."

Li Jingjing shrugged her shoulders and sighed lightly: "I've been very busy lately, and I don't have time to take care of him, grandpa is so idle, let grandpa take care of it." ”

Li Huan frowned and walked into the hall quickly, and reported: "Miss, the slave maid passed on your words to Liu Lan, she didn't say anything at first, and after a while, she knelt down and cried, so that the slave maid must tell you, save you and send mercy to her and her brother." ”

"I have already shown mercy to save her life, so why should I be merciful?" Li Jingjing's eyes rolled, and she turned her head and asked, "Grandpa Li Li, can you give her an idea." ”

Li Li smiled and said, "Miss already has an idea in her heart and still comes to ask me?" ”

Li Jingjing said modestly: "I have experienced few things when I am young, and I am afraid that I will hurt her if I have a bad idea." ”

Li Li made a deferential look and asked, "Could you please tell me what your idea is?" ”

Li Jingjing's eyes drooped, she thought about it, and said: "If I were her, what I could do at present was to take advantage of the momentum of the Hou Mansion to write a letter to the person who could do it to the Liu Mansion, and threaten the Liu Mansion to remove the younger brother from the mansion within three days, and return the dowry of the younger brother and the biological mother, otherwise I would sue the Hunan Provincial Governor's Mansion, and make this matter known to everyone, and the net will be broken." ”

Li Li asked again: "Miss, have you ever thought that after this plan is completed, where will Liu Lan and Liu Song go?" ”

Li Jingjing shook her head and said: "I don't think much about this, take one step at a time, if you can't do it, you can go back to your biological mother's mother's home Yongzhou." ”

Li Li looked at him with admiration and said, "Miss is only six years old this year, and it is remarkable to be able to think of such a distance. ”

Li Jingjing still asked Li Huan to go to the pharmacy to give Liu Lan some breath to see if Liu Lan dared to write this letter to Liu's mansion.

If Liu Lan wrote, Li Jingjing would help, and if not, she wouldn't care.

When he was young, Li Zhen, the slave in front of Li Yunxiao, hurriedly ran over with a sad face.

"Miss, our second young master and Young Master He's slingshots were chopped by the old man with a sword, and the old man is beating our second young master with a scabbard in the hall of Yuejing Courtyard, and the old lady and the eldest lady are not here today, you go over and persuade the old man."

Li Jingjing asked, "Is Young Master Murong beside him?" ”

She really forgot that this time Qu's went to Qu Kuaishou's house, and He's went to Tanzhou Guogong's Mansion.

Li Zhen hurriedly said: "Young Master Murong was scolded by the old man and cried, so he let Xiao Linzi carry him into the second courtyard. ”

Li Jingjing hurriedly walked out of the hall and rushed to the Yuejing Courtyard, and said angrily: "At the critical moment, the little thin man is so uninteresting that he ran away? ”

Li Bing's angry scolding and Li Yunxiao's loud crying came from the Yuejing Courtyard, which shocked everyone to take a detour.

Li Yunxiao was lying on the two tiger benches, his outer pants had been taken off, revealing his snow-white satin underwear, which had been beaten to the point that his skin was torn apart, and he was so painful that he held his head with his hands and cried, with a lot of snot and tears.

Li Bing's eyebrows were raised, his peach blossom eyes were round, and he hit Li Yunxiao's ass with a fine iron scabbard in his right hand, and he reprimanded loudly: "I told you three times, don't go to the courtyard east of the mansion to play, you have to go." There is a wooden sign at the entrance of the courtyard that says "don't enter", and you have to go in when you see it. ”

Li Yunxiao cried: "Grandpa, I was wrong. I'm never going again, I'm never going to shoot pigeons again. ”

When Li Bing heard the pigeon, he became angry.

Those pigeons are professionally trained with a lot of manpower and material resources to become excellent adult pigeons, and each one is a treasure.

The amount of information they can carry is limited, and Qingcheng, which is in an unstable situation, has only 20 carrier pigeons, while Hunan Province has only 7 carrier pigeons.

Li Yunxiao and He Yiyang killed and seriously injured twelve carrier pigeons in one go, and the rest of the carrier pigeons flew in shock, so it was strange that Li Bing was not angry.

All the subordinates in the courtyard knelt down, but they definitely didn't dare to intercede for Li Yunxiao when Li Bingsheng was angry.

Ding Suran hugged the tearful He Yiyang and walked quickly, and said loudly: "Master Hou is almost angry, the pigeon is dead and cannot be resurrected." Both Xiaolang were convicted. Don't beat Xiao Lang again. ”

Chi Lingzi and Yuan Hongzi also came, the former went directly to snatch the ten-pound scabbard in Li Bing's hand, and the latter hugged Li Yunxiao, who was crying extremely sadly.

It turned out that He Yiyang didn't leave Li Yunxiao alone just now, but when he saw that Qu was not there, he immediately went to move three rescuers.

When Li Jingjing arrived at the Yuejing Courtyard, she saw a long-range slingshot that had been chopped into several pieces by Li Bing with a sword and thrown on the courtyard floor for less than twenty days.

Chi Lingzi and Li Bing play chess in the study.

Li Jingjing went to the courtyard for the second time, and Ding Suran personally drugged Li Yunxiao's bloody little buttocks, which had fainted in pain.

He Yiyang sat on the side wiping away tears and crying, staring at Li Jingjing fiercely, and scolded: "Stinky little lady, are you doing it on purpose? It's a shame that I and the little fat man are so good to you, and you are so bad! ”
