Chapter 2 Collecting Medicine in the Mountains
Congratulations on getting a monthly pass
Ning was surrounded by a group of maids and women who came back from Mrs. Song's house, and as soon as they entered the courtyard gate, the henchman Jinhuan greeted her. Ning knew that she had something to say when she looked at her, so she sent all the irrelevant girls and mothers-in-law away, leaving only the golden ring in front of her.
Jinhuan glanced at Yao Yanyi, who was leaning on the couch, and said in a low voice: "Back to grandma, Aunt Tian came here in the evening and gave grandma a pair of vases." said that it was to congratulate the second master. ”
Ning chuckled nonchalantly: "What was a big deal at the time, it was just a pair of vases, what haven't I ever seen?" Why are you so ignorant today? ”
Jin Huan replied: "Because the slave maid looked at the pair of vases with some origins, they didn't dare to make their own decisions. As he spoke, he turned around and went out, and after a while, he came back with a big box, opened it for Ning to see, and said, "Grandma, this doesn't look like the pair of vases with a pair of pastels in the kiln that you were talking about before?" ”
"Yo, it's like that!" Ning was very surprised, and took one and dragged it in his hand to look at it carefully. After that, I was very surprised, "Is this true or false?" I've been looking for this thing for a long time and I haven't found it, but she's very good. ”
Yao Yanyi also opened his eyes when he heard this, glanced at the vase, and said, "This should be genuine." ”
Jin Huan smiled: "If it's a fake, she dares to send it to this house?" ”
Hearing this, Ning immediately glared at Jin Huan: "How can you talk to the master?" ”
Caiyu smiled and lowered her head. Yao Yanyi didn't care, Jinhuan was a person in his house, not only good looking, but also thoughtful, no worse than everyone else, and he was Ning's right-hand man. The so-called wife is not as good as a concubine, Yao Yanyi naturally would not be angry because of Jinhuan's words, and only smiled: "It's not a day or two that she has no rules in front of me." ”
Ning smiled: "It's all you who are used to her!" ”
Yao Yanyi smiled, changed the subject, pointed to the vase and asked, "What does this mean?" ”
Ning shook his head and said, "Take it first, and then we'll talk about it later." I always feel that she must have a plan, just to congratulate the second master, but there is no need to come up with such a thing. ”
Yao Yanyi shook his head and didn't say much. He never cares much about family affairs.
At that moment, Jinhuan put away his things, came back to make the bed, and after serving Yao Yanyi and his wife to sleep, he blew out the candles, closed the door, and went out quietly.
But it was said that Tian had been nervous all afternoon and evening. It wasn't until the little maid and magpie whispered back and forth that the people in the second room had all rested, and then she exhaled softly.
Yao Quehua was reprimanded by Yao Yanyu for inquiring about Marquis Xiao, and Tian soon found out, and because of this matter, he was sarcastically ridiculed by Yao Quehua's teaching.
Tian was anxious after returning from Yao Quehua's courtyard at that time, for fear that his wife would punish Yao Quehua for this matter. After thinking about it, Zuihou was still ruthless and sent a pair of antique vases that he had managed to get his hands on to Ning's courtyard, in order to cover up for her in case his daughter's affairs were known to his wife.
After that, she was afraid that Ning's would not accept it, so she inquired about Ning's room in the old lady's room, so she personally sent it over, and pointed to the name of Yao Yanyi to say goodbye, so Jinhuan couldn't refuse directly, and only said that she would wait for the second grandmother to come back to see her.
Now I am finally relieved! Since you have received something, there is no reason to collect it in vain. Tian instructed the little maid to fetch water to wash and prepare for bed. As soon as the door of the clinker courtyard rang, a mother-in-law in front of Wang came in and replied, "Is my aunt asleep?" My wife had something to say and asked my aunt to go to the front. ”
Tian's heart shook fiercely, and he hurriedly put on a smiling face and asked, "It's so late, hasn't Mrs. slept yet?" ”
The mother-in-law sneered and said, "Mrs. has a lot of things, doesn't my aunt know about it?" Let's go quickly, my wife is in a hurry, everyone has no good fruit to eat. ”
Tian was annoyed that this mother-in-law was not polite, but she had a ghost in her heart, but she didn't dare to say more, so she had to look in the mirror, straighten her clothes, and go to Wang's side to listen to the training.
Mrs. Wang had already changed into a big coat outside, and sat on the couch wearing only a homely jacket, and when she saw Tian come in, she sighed softly and said, "It is said that there are happy events in the family these days, and it is the time to employ people." However, I had a dream yesterday that the Bodhisattva told me that if I wanted to be safe and sound, someone had to go to the temple to recite the Prajna Heart Sutra for a month. At this time, I couldn't leave, but I couldn't help but listen to the Bodhisattva's meaning. I think about it, it's just you! You are the person in front of the master, and you are more decent than others. You go back and clean up, Ming'er will go to Puji Temple to live for a month, fast and chant scriptures, and pray for the old lady, the old man and all the people in the family. ”
Tian was struck by lightning for a while, and he was speechless for a long time.
Mrs. Wang glanced at her and said, "I've worked hard for you this time, I will treat the three girls well these days when you are away, don't worry." ”
Tian had no choice but to respond: "Yes, the slave obeys his wife's orders, and will leave for Puji Temple early in the morning." ”
"It's not early, ask Sanwang's daughter-in-law to help you pack your things, tomorrow morning, the old lady has something to do, so you don't have to come over and say good morning." As she spoke, Mrs. Wang got up and got off the couch and walked to the bedroom.
Tian respectfully followed Mrs. Wang to sleep again, and Fang quietly withdrew.
As soon as he walked out of Mrs. Wang's courtyard gate, Tian cried with a 'woo', saying that he was going to see the master.
Sanwang's daughter-in-law sneered: "I advise my aunt to save trouble." The master has already fallen asleep by now, do you dare to wake up? You should know what you do, no matter how young the third girl is, she is also the master, and you can instigate it casually? Besides, what did the third girl do wrong, and what good is it for you? I advise us to hurry up, pack your bags, and let me sleep. Otherwise, how can Ming'er have the spirit to send you to the temple? ”
Tian had a hard time at the moment, so he had to wipe his tears and go back to his room, pack up his clothes and cover, and be soft and soft. This is a month, a month is not long or short, how much can happen!
Although the temple is said to be a quiet place, there is a fight where there are people, and it is natural to go there to fight a little bit. Thinking about her pair of priceless vases for nothing, Aunt Tian's heart dripped blood again.
On this night, a few people laughed and a few cried in the governor's mansion, which had nothing to do with Yao Yanyu.
Yao Yanyu woke up from a sound sleep until the end of the day, and she saw that she had missed the time to say goodbye to the old lady and his wife. So he got up in a hurry and blamed Cuiwei: "Why didn't you wake me up on time?" ”
"Just the second master called someone to say, wait for the girl to wake up and pass the breakfast directly, and go to the front after eating. The old lady and the wife, the second master has already said it. I have to walk a long way today, and I am afraid that I will be late and will not be able to come back in the evening. ”
"Then you should have woken me up sooner." Yao Yanyu said while hurriedly dressing.
"The old lady was not allowed to scream, saying that she needed to let the girl sleep enough before she could go out."
Yao Yanyu smiled secretly, when did she become the top of the old lady's heart? Having said that, after Yao Yanyu cleaned up, she still went to Ningrui Hall to greet Mrs. Song and Mrs. Wang. Old Madam Song said some more words, and ordered the people who followed her to take care of her, and then let Yao Yanyu and the others go to the front.
The carriage was already ready, and Yao Yanyi and his servants were already waiting in front. Yao Yanyu didn't say a word of nonsense, and got into the carriage directly. Yao Yanyi was more anxious than her, and ordered people to hurry up.
They are going to the mountains today to determine what kind of hemostatic grass they want, and what kind of ground chrysalis they are, these things will be easy to do until Yao Yanyu is determined. And from now on, there are still two months left until the deadline given by the emperor, from picking to processing, and shipping to Yundu City, time is really running out!
Out of Jiangning City, Wei Zhang followed with six elite soldiers.
Yao Yanyu heard the sound of talking outside from the carriage, lifted the curtain and glanced out, and it happened that Wei Zhang also looked back. The two looked at each other, only paused, and then went their separate ways. Yao Yanyu originally thought that this person would not come with him when he went to Jiangning on business, but he didn't expect to come. Really dutiful.
In Jiangnan, April is always a rainy season. When I went out in the morning, it was only cloudy, and as soon as I got out of the city gate, a thin line of rain drifted down.
Outside the city, the smoky paddy fields are covered with green and green, and the air you breathe is cool and moist, comfortable and comfortable. If she wasn't in a hurry, Yao Yanyu really wanted to get out of the car and walk on her own, blowing this moist breeze and drenching the drizzle with the smell of the fields.
The destination of this trip was Panlong Mountain, Yao Yanyu said that when she first found the hemostatic grass and the pupa of the ground, it was in the valley behind the Puji Temple of Panlong Mountain, so she had to go to that place this time.
Sixteen miles out of the city, most of the official road is the official road, to the vicinity of Panlong Mountain, the official road becomes narrow, although the carriage can also walk, but it begins to bumpy. Yao Yanyu couldn't stand the bumps a little, and sighed: "I really want to ride a horse!" ”
Cuiwei said helplessly: "Isn't the girl afraid to ride a horse, besides, we don't wear riding clothes." ”
Cui Ping said with a smile: "Next time I go out, the girl will still wear men's clothes." Men's clothing is convenient, you can ride a horse if you want to ride, and you can take a car if you want to. ”
Yao Yanyu nodded: "What I said is this, why didn't I say it earlier!" You should wear men's clothes when you go out in the morning. ”
Cui Ping sighed again: "Don't you have to go and say hello to the old lady!" How dare a slave let a girl wear men's clothes? The old lady didn't scold us to death! ”
Cui Wei hurriedly waved her hand and said, "When the girl was in the capital, she fell off the horse for the first time?" Thinking about it now, the slave maid is afraid. Don't talk about horseback riding in the future! ”
reminded Yao Yanyu of the fact that he was thrown off the horse because of Wei Zhang, and turned his head to stare at the arrogant back of someone outside the car.
Because it was a rainy day, there were not many pedestrians on the road, and the stone road in the mountains was even quieter.
Yao Yanyu directly lifted the curtains of the car, letting the breeze and drizzle outside blow in, while she leaned against the window, squinting her eyes and letting the rain pour on her face, greedily feeling the coolness. Wei Zhang turned his head inadvertently, and frowned slightly when he saw her like this.
After walking for a while, the servant who led the way suddenly pointed ahead and said, "Second master, it seems to be a carriage in our house, why does it stop there?" ”
Yao Yanyi raised his eyes and saw a small flag on the top of the carriage on the mountain road, and the royal blue flag on the cultivator was the family crest of the Yao family. So he frowned and said, "You two go up and see what's going on." ”
The servant responded, urging him to go forward and ask, it turned out that Aunt Tian went to Puji Temple, and the car was pulled out halfway and couldn't go.
Yao Yanyi listened to the servant's report, frowned, and whispered, "It's really a mess." ”
Yao Yanyu said: "Since it's a family member, it's better to get in the car, let's drop her over." It's not far from Puji Temple. ”
Yao Yanyi didn't have any good way, the rain was getting heavier and heavier at this time, it was good that they hadn't seen it, but now they have seen it, and they can't leave their female dependents on this mountain road.
When Tian saw Yao Yanyu, as if he had seen a savior, he said continuously: "The second girl is really a life-saving bodhisattva, I thought I was going to Puji Temple at this time!" ”
Yao Yanyu doesn't care about Tian's feelings, she is just a poor woman, she has always been reluctant to do much, let alone worry about this kind of person, so she smiled lightly: "Auntie, come up quickly, the rain is getting heavier and heavier, and you will get sick if you get wet." ”
Tian got into the carriage with great gratitude, Sanwang's daughter-in-law and the magpie maid sat on the front wheel, and everyone continued to hurry, leaving only the coachman and the other two servants to repair Tian's carriage.
Because Tian got into the car, Yao Yanyu glanced at the car window, and Cui Ping immediately raised her hand to put down the car curtains.
This carriage was naturally much more spacious than Aunt Tian's carriage, with a small couch inside, as well as four cushions and a small table. There were two dim sum plates on the small table, each containing four pieces of dim sum, and a small incense burner, the incense cakes in which had been burned out and had not been added.
Yao Yanyu doesn't like too much incense, what she wants is the most primitive and natural breath between heaven and earth.
Tian Shi saw the small incense burner at a glance, so he reached out and picked it up, carefully appreciated it, and said with a smile: "This is the small pastel incense burner of the previous dynasty, right?" ”
Yao Yanyu smiled, in fact, she didn't understand this, it didn't matter to her what was in the past or what was in the present. And I don't know how many people have passed through the hands of those antiques, and I don't know if they were dug up from the graves of the dead, and they are not unlucky, in short, she doesn't like them.
"It's worth a lot of silver!" Tian smiled and put things back.
Cui Ping smiled: "My aunt is really worthy of being the person in front of the master, and she even appreciates antiques." Let the slaves and maidservants see it for a long time. ”
Tian hurriedly waved his hand and smiled: "What do I know?" It's just nonsense, and I don't have to make the girl laugh. ”
Yao Yanyu smiled faintly again and asked, "Auntie, is this going to Puji Temple to offer incense?" ”
The smile on Tian's face paused, and a little embarrassment flashed, but in a blink of an eye, he smiled brightly: "Mrs. has always been restless these days, I think, it must be due to the fact that there are many things at home and Mrs. is worried about tiredness." But I really couldn't help, so I wanted to go to the temple to recite the scriptures for my wife in front of the Bodhisattva for a few days, so that the Bodhisattva could bless her with peace and security. ”
"So that's the case, but my aunt has a heart." Yao Yanyu said, but she smiled secretly in her heart, I am afraid that the matter of the third sister was told to his wife, and now that there is a happy event at home, and there is a banquet, it is impossible to punish Yao Quehua, so that relatives will laugh if they know. But a concubine is dispensable, so the wife directly brought this troublemaker to the temple to stay, just begging Yao Quehua to have one less dog-headed military advisor by his side, so that he could be quiet for two days.
Tian saw that Yao Yanyu was leaning on the couch and no longer spoke, so he asked with a smile: "The girl has seen a lot of interesting things on this trip to the capital, right?" ”
Yao Yanyu smiled and said, "What's interesting, the people of the world, the affairs of the world, and the aunt, don't you know?" ”
Tian sneered: "Look at what the girl said, I'm just a subordinate, what can I know!" ”
Yao Yanyu smiled, didn't say anything more, leaned directly on the small couch and turned around to close her eyes and recuperate. Seeing this, Cui Wei hurriedly took a thin blanket and put it on her body. Cui Ping got up and lowered the thick curtain of the car window, and the car was immediately darkened.
Seeing this, Tian wanted to say something more, but Cui Ping hurriedly made a silent gesture at her, winced, and frowned. Tian couldn't say anything, so he had to keep his mouth shut.
The mountain road is bumpy, and Yao Yanyu can't sleep in the end. But fortunately, Puji Temple is only halfway up the Panlong Mountain, and it will take more than half an hour to arrive.
Yao Yanyu and Tian got out of the car at the gate of the temple, and someone outside immediately held up a big umbrella to block Yao Yanyu's head. Cuiwei saw that this person was a seven-foot-tall man, and hurriedly raised his hand to take the umbrella and said, "Give it to me." ”
The man didn't say much, gave the umbrella to Cuiwei and flashed aside.
Yao Yanyi said to Sanwang's daughter-in-law: "I still have something to do with the second girl, you can take your aunt in." ”
Sanwang's daughter-in-law agreed, carried her umbrella, and carried her baggage into the temple with Tian.
Yao Yanyi got off the horse, stroked the hat on his head, and said to Yao Yanyu: "This rain is so heavy that I can't enter the mountain." Looks like we'll have to wait in the temple for a while. ”
Yao Yanyu also frowned and said, "That's the only way." ”
Yao Yanyi looked at Wei Zhang again, Wei Zhang nodded, turned over and dismounted.
Puji Temple is the largest temple outside Jiangning City, and the incense is extremely prosperous. The Governor's Mansion is also a big pilgrim in the temple, and the old lady of Song Song donates hundreds of taels of sesame oil to the temple every year, as well as Mrs. Wang and two young grandmothers, who also donate every year. It is because the Yao family came here, and it is naturally convenient to travel in the temple.
The meditation room where the Yao brothers and sisters rested was naturally different from the Tian family. After Tian entered the temple, he was taken to a small nunnery behind Puji Temple, which is also the property of Puji Temple, and Puji Temple is separated by a vegetable field, in which there are more than a dozen old nuns enshrined in the Buddha and Bodhisattva, Tian wants to chant scriptures and pray for blessings naturally in the nunnery over there.
The master of Puji Temple invited the Yao brothers and sisters to enter the meditation room to serve tea. Yao Yanyi explained his intention: he was ordered to inspect the vegetation of the mountains and forests here, and register and make a register so that the Yu Department could prepare for reference. The master naturally didn't say anything, but only asked someone to prepare food and tea, and entertained the guards brought by Weizhang and the servants of the Yao family.
Yao Yanyu looked at the rain curtain outside, feeling a little worried. It's all this hour, and the rain is still falling, do you want to live in this mountain temple tonight?
Yao Yanyi watched Yao Yanyu's fingers keep tapping on the tabletop, and knew that she was anxious, so she smiled and said, "If this rain doesn't stop, we will stay in the temple, don't worry." ”
"Well, I listen to my brother." Yao Yanyu smiled and turned her head to look at the rain outside.
Yao Yanyi smiled again and asked: "I know that you are impatient and bored at home, so I specially brought you out, why can't you stay here for half a day?" ”
Yao Yanyu shook her head and said, "No. I think the scenery outside is very beautiful, and it's a pity to just sit here and drink tea. ”
"Wait until the rain gets a little bit lower before going out. At this time, not only is it raining, but the mountain road is also very slippery, and it is not easy to walk. ”
"Well, that's what my brother said."
The brother and sister discussed it, and then fell silent again.
Because of Wei Zhang's presence, it is inconvenient to talk about things at home. The three of them only drank tea silently.
Fortunately, it didn't take more than a stick of incense, and seeing that the rain was getting lighter and lighter, Yao Yanyu said happily: "Second brother, can we go?" ”
Yao Yanyi smiled: "I know you can't wait, let's go." ”
The verdant mountains and forests have been washed by the rain, and the eyes are verdant. The rocks are also washed away by the rain, and they are very clean, and they are bright mountain blue. The air is particularly fresh, and when you take a breath, you only feel the fragrance of the mountains and forests in your heart and lungs.
It was drizzling and there was no need for an umbrella at all. Yao Yanyu walked in front of her skirt to lead the way, her steps were brisk, and she pointed to the shrubs and grasses and other plants next to her while walking, asking Cuiwei and Cuiping to pick this and that, as if everything was a precious medicinal material.
Yao Yanyi reminded while following: "You slow down!" There is moss on this rock, look slippery! Seeing Yao Yanyu disappear into the jungle after turning a corner, Yao Yanyi sighed worriedly: "This girl, why is she so disobedient when she arrives in the mountains and forests!" ”
Wei Zhang frowned and took two steps to follow, grabbed Yao Yanyu's wrist, and said in a deep voice, "Slow down." ”
After Yao Yanyu was stunned, she immediately glared at Wei Zhang: "Let go!" ”
"What are you running? Want to fall into the mud? Pretty? Wei Zhang still held her wrist as if he were catching a bird, and flew away as soon as he let go.
"Let it go!" Yao Yanyu struggled and found that his little strength was not enough in front of General Wei, so he could only glare at him fiercely.
"Huh?" Yao Yanyi followed, saw the two people staring at each other, exhaled, and asked, "What are you doing!" ”
Wei Zhang smiled indifferently: "It's nothing, Miss Yao almost fell down just now, so I helped her." As he spoke, he let go of her wrist and asked with concern, "Are you okay?" Where did you twist it? ”
Yao Yanyu suffocated in his throat, gritted his teeth, and hummed: "Thank you General for your concern!" After saying that, he shook his hand and left.
Yao Yanyi shook his head helplessly, glanced at Wei Zhang vigilantly, didn't speak, and followed quickly.
Wei Zhang twisted his fingers, and the corners of his mouth curled into an unpredictable smile.
Yao Yanyu stopped in a bush, panted softly, looked at the lush plants with large leaves in front of her, and smiled knowingly: "I finally found you!" ”
"That's it?" Yao Yanyi followed behind Yao Yanyu and looked at the green plants. This seems to be a very common thing, but when you think about it, you don't know what it's called. Because it's so ordinary, no one ever notices.
This is also called large-leaved purple pearl grass, different from other herbs to stop bleeding, its roots and leaves can be used in medicine, it can not only stop bleeding, disperse stasis, but also have the function of anti-inflammatory. Uh, that anti-inflammatory...... It is to prevent wound infection and necrosis. ”
"yes, I see." Yao Yanyi nodded, reached out and picked a leaf, twisted it, leaned under his nose and smelled it, there was no special smell, and it looked too ordinary. Under what name are they harvested and transported to the capital?
"You can't pick the leaves yet, you can only pick the roots. The leaves are picked in summer and autumn when the medicinal properties are the most haode. ”
"Roots?" Yao Yan thought about it, nodded and said, "Okay." Then pick the roots first. ”
Wei Zhang had already followed, and after hearing the conversation between their brother and sister, he bent down and pulled out a dagger from his boots, dug up a piece of purple bead grass, brushed away the soil and looked at it, and said, "This kind of root is no different from ordinary tree roots, and it is easy to adulterate. ”
Yao Yanyu nodded and said: "So it must be picked by our people themselves, if you buy it, there will definitely be people who are opportunistic." ”
"It had to be like that at the beginning. The emperor's affairs do not allow the slightest mistake. Yao Yanyi thought about many possibilities at the beginning, and after thinking about it, this matter is inseparable from Yao Yanyu.
No matter how detailed she explained the characteristics of this medicinal herb, under the heavy profit, there would definitely be people who took the risk of confusing the real with the fake. When the time comes, I can't argue, and I will definitely put my life into it.
There must be enough loyal and reliable people, and enough time to learn and experience with Yao Yanyu to take on this role. But at the moment, there really aren't such people.
Yao Yanyi twisted a rhizome handed over by Wei Zhang, and said, "In the future, I will personally stare at people picking roots, and my sister can rest assured." ”
Yao Yanyu nodded and responded: "Brother can pick some roots by the way to transplant them, if the trial is successful, it can be regarded as twice the result with half the effort." ”
"That's what my sister said." Yao Yanyi has long had this intention.
Wei Zhang looked at the soft soil and asked, "That's how the hemostatic grass is, what ......about it?" What about bugs? Is there anything in this dirt? ”
Yao Yanyu sighed and said, "This depends on luck." Let everyone spread out and dig and show me the chrysalis worms. ”
"Listen, everybody!" Yao Yanyi clapped his hands, summoned his servants to Dao, and instructed: "Now let's find a worm like a bee chrysalis and dig in this soil." I dug it up and showed it to the second girl. Do you understand? ”
Everyone answered, "I understand." ”
"Let's get started, hurry!" Yao Yanyi gave an order, and everyone scattered, each holding a shovel or something and starting to dig the soil.
Yao Yanyu looked left and right, and then stepped on the scattered stones and went to the bushes. Wei Zhang didn't pay attention at first, but when she looked back at the time, she had already walked into the depths of the bushes, bent over and didn't know what she was doing, so she hurriedly turned around and followed.
In public and private, Yao Yanyu's safety is the most important thing for General Wei. He doesn't care about collecting medicine, he is only responsible for her safety. Therefore, it is necessary to stay on the move.
Yao Yanyu was staring at the bark of a large tree.
Wei Zhang followed her gaze for a long time and didn't find anything wrong, I really don't know what this girl is looking at. Turning his head to look at her again, his thick eyelashes curled up slightly, his bright eyes staring at the bark, and his pearl-like teeth biting his lower lip, he seemed to be very happy and nervous.
"Hey, what are you looking at?" Wei Zhang finally couldn't help it.
"Shh Yao Yanyu glared at Wei Zhang in disgust, raised his hand and wanted to reach over, twisted his fingers and withdrew them.
Wei Zhang looked at her and felt anxious, so he asked, "What do you want to do?" I'm here to help you. ”
"Really?" Yao Yanyu looked at Wei Zhang in surprise.
Wei Zhang thought it was funny, of course he could help her if he said he would help her, what else could he say he couldn't do?
"Get your dagger out." Yao Yanyu didn't doubt Wei Zhang's words, and directly told him what to do.
Wei Zhang raised his hand and pulled out the dagger and glanced at Yao Yanyu.
"This bark." Yao Yanyu's fair-skinned and delicate fingers drew a palm-sized piece on the bark of the big tree, "Be careful, cut it slowly." It has to be light, don't hurt the baby inside, understand? ”
"No problem." If nothing else, General Wei is still very confident in his kung fu under his sword.
The dagger in Wei Zhang's hand is very sharp, it is the trophy of his expedition to the Western Turks, it is said that it was forged by the efforts of the Western forger, and this dagger is priceless.
According to Yao Yanyu, General Wei carefully cut off the bark from top to bottom as if he were cutting tofu.
Let's go! The bark fell to the ground.
At the moment when he saw what kind of scene was under the bark, people like General Rao Shiwei couldn't help but widen their eyes!
The so-called treasure in Yao Yanyu's mouth is just a palm-sized place, and it is actually crowded with countless insects!
Small, golden insects are densely packed together, which can be described as ten thousand heads!
"Whew-" Yao Yanyu sighed deeply, "Babies! I've found you! ”
Wei Zhang glanced back at Yao Yanyu, pursed his lips, and thought to himself that this girl is really enough, if this is another girl, even if she doesn't scream in fright, she will run away disgustingly, right?
What's her expression called? Glad? Well, it's ecstatic!
"Hey, what are you waiting for, do it!" Yao Yanyu urged General Wei beside him.
"Huh?" Wei Zhang was inexplicable, "What hand?" ”
"Take it away! These! Yao Yanyu pointed at those little insects, and naturally instructed people, "Didn't you say that you would help?" ”
Wei Zhang frowned: "What do you use to collect it?" ”
"Oh, take it." Yao Yanyu took out a small fist-sized clay pot out of nowhere and handed it to Wei Zhang.
Wei Zhang pursed his lips helplessly again, took the clay pot, thought about it, and asked, "Must be captured alive?" ”
"It's better to be captured alive." Yao Yanyu nodded.
Wei Zhang frowned, although as a soldier, he had suffered all kinds of hardships and seen all terrible things, but catching insects ...... It's the first time I've done it to catch hundreds or thousands of such insects, so I hesitated to ask, "Do you want to use your hands?" ”
Yao Yanyu asked funny: "Why, don't you dare?" ”
"It's not a question of daring or not. There is no question of whether it is necessary. ”
Wei Zhang thought to himself that I have to be calm, I can't let this little girl use the agitation method. As he thought, he turned and broke a branch, brushed off the leaves, smoothed the branch, and then leaned over and pulled the little golden insects into the clay pot little by little.
"You're afraid of bugs?" Yao Yanyu suddenly asked.
"Huh?" Wei Zhang was doing a big thing carefully, and he didn't look back.
"You're afraid of these little bugs." Yao Yanyu changed her tone of affirmation.
"You're not afraid?" Wei Zhang glanced back at Miss Yao and smiled. There was a bit of a playful smile in his amber eyes.
"I'm afraid." Yao Yanyu snorted confidently: "I'm a girl, it's normal to be afraid of insects." You're a man! ”
"Who told you I was scared?" Wei Zhang said, raising his hand and pinching a bug to throw it at Yao Yanyu's face. This girl is so hateful, I have to scare and scare her.
"Ahh
"Be careful!" Wei Zhang held both hands, and it was difficult to help her, so he stretched out his leg and hooked Miss Yao's waist.
"You bastard!" Yao Yanyu was angry and aggrieved, her eyes were red, and she slammed her fist with a pink fist, and her fist hurt.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Seeing her like this, Wei Zhang was in a good mood for no reason, "I thought you were playing, but I didn't think you were really afraid?" I saw you treat people before, and you were not afraid to cut human flesh with a knife, how could you be afraid of these little insects? ”
"What are you doing?" Yao Yanyi heard her sister shouting, and immediately looked for it, and saw that both of them were bent over side by side, facing a big tree, and suddenly felt that the whole person was not good.
"Second brother." Yao Yanyu straightened up and turned around.
Wei Zhang was still concentrating on plucking insects into the clay pot, there was a gap in the visual inspection before, I thought it was a hundred, but now it seems that it is really a thousand. It's been a while and it's not done.
"What is this?" Yao Yanyi frowned when he saw the insects under the bark of the white flowers, "Could it be that this is the chrysalis?" ”
"It's not." Yao Yanyu shook her head, "This is a golden chrysalis." ”
"Golden chrysalis? What is it for? "This insect is also too terrifying, Yao Yanyi doesn't want to look at it at all.
"The muscle-building effect of the golden pupa is several times stronger than that of the ground pupae. It is a holy product for scar removal. ”
"Good guys!" Yao Yanyi's eyes widened immediately, and he suddenly didn't feel that this little insect was terrifying, this little insect was just a piece of gold in time!
Wei Zhang put all the little golden chrysalis into the clay pot and handed it to Yao Yanyu.
Yao Yanyu didn't stretch out her hand at all, but said, "You help me hold it." ”
Wei Zhang frowned: "How do you take this?" ”
Yao Yanyu handed him his handkerchief: "Use this to cover the mouth of the jar, and then tie a knot to pour it on." ”
Wei Zhang took the handkerchief and looked at it, but he didn't want to use it, but raised his hand and tore a piece of his clothes, covered the mouth of the small jar, wrapped it around the bottom of the jar and tied a knot, and then turned it to Yao Yanyi: "It's better for Lord Yao to take it." ”
Yao Yanyi didn't have time to think about it, and it was too late when he reacted: "Ah-this ......" Unexpectedly, Lord Yao felt that something soft was squirming, and goosebumps rose for a while, and he hurriedly turned around for help.
Fortunately, Cuiwei came over with a basket and took the things and put them in the basket.
"Wei Xianjun!" Lord Yao glared at Wei Zhang's back angrily and gritted his teeth, but he still couldn't say anything after all.
One after another, people dug up different insects and asked Yao Yanyu to take a look. After Yao Yanyu looked at more than a dozen different insects, she finally decided on one: "This, this is this!" Remember, as long as that's the case. ”
Yao Yanyi ordered someone to write it down, and dug for a while, digging a total of more than a dozen pupae, and the sky gradually darkened. On a rainy day, it was already dark early.
"It's time to go back." Yao Yanyi said helplessly, "Otherwise, it's too late and it's really hard to go back to the city." ”
"Didn't you say you could stay?" Wei Zhang frowned, he had just been with this girl for a long time, and he was going to send her back. Although he was ordered to protect Yao Yanyu's safety, it was not good for him to enter the house and live in the governor's palace.
This journey to the governor's mansion General Wei only found that he hadn't seen this girl for two days, and he was quite worried about it.
This kind of concern is not like the feeling he had when he was in the capital before, when he was just secretly in love with her, and now, he is really concerned about her.
"Ming'er has a banquet at home, and General Wei will also come to have a glass of wine together." Yao Yanyi doesn't want to go back, but he is the protagonist, if he doesn't go back, the old lady and his wife will definitely not follow.
"Today is worth it." Yao Yanyu didn't want anything else, just thinking about the jar of golden chrysalis, as well as several other herbs picked by Cuiwei and Cuiping, and her heart was full of joy.
Wei Zhang glanced at someone who was happy, and silently scolded in his heart: a stinky girl with no heart and lungs.
On the way back to Puji Temple, Yao Yanyu said to Master Yao: "Second brother, I will come out with you after the family is busy in the past few days." ”
"That's not necessary, right? The next thing is to be stared at by my brother, just those two things, you can't go wrong. "The girl's family always goes out, right? Yao Yanyi glanced at Wei Zhang again, and thought to himself, this marriage has not been decided after all, so he must avoid suspicion.
Yao Yanyu frowned: "I have what I need, and you don't know." I still have a few recipes that I haven't come up with. ”
It's all money! Yao Yanyi sighed from his heart, and immediately threw aside the defense of men and women, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll just take you out when the time comes." ”
Yao Yanyu is now settled on her second brother's thoughts, and chases with a smile: "You can talk about the old lady and the wife." ”
Yao Yanyi sighed: "With your current appearance, she won't refuse to tell the old lady yourself." ”
"How can I have as much face as you. The person the old lady hurts the most is still you. Yao Yanyu grinned. Yao Ergongzi can speak well, and coax the family to like him, this is a fact.
Yao Yanyi smiled helplessly and didn't say anything more.
When the group returned to Puji Temple, it was already dark and it was starting to rain again. Yao Yanyi, who originally planned to rush back, had to give up and asked the master of Puji Temple to help clean up the meditation room, and they stayed in the temple.
For safety reasons, Yao Yanyu was arranged in a wing room in the same courtyard. Anyway, she only brought Cuiwei and Cuiping, two maids, and the three of them were barely able to squeeze together.
The layout of the meditation room is simple and simple, and although the bedding is clean, it is all cheesecloth. Cuiwei was afraid that Yao Yanyu would not be used to it, so she went to the carriage and brought the blanket she brought over and spread it.
