145 Chicken Soup for the Soul
After finishing the soul trash can with honor, probably because she was in a good mood, Mrs. Zuo and her vaguely talked about the recent story of Colorful Lane (Zuofu is quite close to Colorful Lane, and Mrs. Zuo still has a shop in her hand). Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"I heard that Mrs. Lin seems to have come, and then the Dou Li family chased after her crying, shouting, and my daughter is coming. The people on the whole street watched the two sedan chairs go away, and finally turned into the Lin Mansion located on Tianliang Street. β
"It seems that Miss Dou has really entered the mansion."
Lin Qixu's tone was a little embarrassed, but Mrs. Zuo listened carefully but it had a different meaning.
Zuo Tang used to play by himself, but now he has been taught some backhouse tricks by his mother, and he has also begun to participate in this high-level topic of wife and concubine fighting. She smiled: "You must enter the mansion, otherwise the children will be born in vain." β
Sure enough, Mrs. Zuo rolled her eyes.
"Mother, don't stare at me, I can only practice my hands and move my mouth here with Sister Lin. Elsewhere, I can't try. "At home, it is impossible for Zuo Tang to get involved in the open and secret battles between his parents and concubines, but the point is that Zuo Mansion is really clean and peaceful, and Zuo Tang is born with a son and a daughter under his knees, and Zuo Tang is born with no sense of crisis.
Zuo Tang continued to talk about the non-stop thing: "I think my mother will be willing to take me to Sister Lin, just to let me feel the wife and concubine war in the Regent's Mansion, and I am too comfortable to be vigilant at all... I remember my brother taught me an idiom, what is it called, to live in peace, to think of danger. Yes, be prepared for danger in times of peace! β
"Xiaotang!" This is too outrageous.
At this time, Mrs. Zuo looked at Lin Qixu with apologetic eyes.
Lin Qixu won't, she can't be even more angry, she accepted Zuo Tang's fairy words with a very accustomed expression, but Lin Qixu smiled harmlessly, gently stroked Zuo Tang's little face, and naturally brought out a terrifying effect that made Zuo Tang: "Xiaotang, this is a taboo." In case, someone with good deeds spreads the conversation between you and me outside, you may still be doing well in Zuofu, but what will the princess think? I maybe, tomorrow, I'll be fined, you know? β
Zuo Tang pouted and did not speak.
Lin Qixu paused mysteriously, continued to smile slightly, and said, "Of course, you are not as safe as you imagined, do you know why?" β
The child is the most curious about the questions of adults, Zuo Tang is immersed in his own little world, pondering why, that serious study, not to mention how cute.
I don't know which family's son-in-law is blessed to marry someone like Zuo Tang.
Lin Qixu couldn't help but deeply reflect on whether he was leading an innocent and innocent child who didn't know anything about the world to an evil road? Originally, Zuo Tang's life may not have to be so gloomy and tangled.
But when he saw Mrs. Zuo's thoughtful appearance, Lin Qixu felt that he was right.
Who can be naΓ―ve for a lifetime?
Those are God's darlings.
The afterimage of the red plum sparse remained on the opaque window paper, accompanied by more leakage, slowly drawing an arc, until it touched a few equally full and fresh plum trees on the shelf, which were the buds picked back by Pei Jiu in the early morning, and they had quietly opened in the greenhouse.
Thinking of Pei Jiu, Lin Qixu's eyes flickered lightly, and he saw this girl in a daze at the charcoal basin.
Pinzimei only carried a piece by the Gongyue Tower at the second gate, and Pei Jiu ran there early in the morning to do something. That's it, they are not their own accessories, even dogs have their own lives, and they should have them.
After Lin Qixu finished cooking a few pots of "Chicken Soup for the Soul", Mrs. Zuo left with Xiaotang, who had gained a lot. Before dinner came, the porter in the front yard ran back and forth, saying that Lin Qichen was out asking to see him.
Lin Qixu was slightly stunned, and asked again: "Have you ever returned to the princess?" β
"The princess asked the little one to come directly to find the side concubine."
The implication is that it's just a question?
Lin Qixu was in the palace, and he didn't have personal freedom at all, and when he went out by chance, he just sat in a closed carriage and went to a similar portal to sit and laugh and eat tea. Therefore, as long as there is outside personnel contact, she is willing to do it.
Faced with her brother's visit, she was suspicious, but smiled happily: "Go and invite in." Lin Qixu turned his head to a few maids and said, "Take some pastries." β
When Lin Qichen boarded the gate of Agarwood Pavilion, the vision was like yesterday.
My sister was still standing under the eaves with a smile, her expression was soft, her posture was elegant, she was wearing a cloak of snow wool and jade peony, lined with the crystal clear snow scene in the courtyard, Lin Qichen's heart suddenly became clear.
"Sister."
He shouted affectionately.
"Let's do it for the first time."
"Hmm." Lin Qichen nodded strangely, but he was very reasonable in his heart, it was indeed the first time he stepped into the house of Agarwood Pavilion.
Lin Qixu watched his younger brother gobble up nearly half a pot of Biluochun, as well as three plates full of pastries, and had to joke: "Is the food on duty very poor?" Seeing that her younger brother was still wearing the clothes of a forbidden guard, she felt a little sour in her heart: "If you don't read good books, it's very hard now." β
"No, in fact, I don't hide it from my sister, in terms of the environmental atmosphere, I really think it's still suitable for me. After all, I drink tea with a group of literati and scholars every day, pretending to be noble and noble, and I am too tired. Lin Qichen said with a smile.
How can there be no one who is not tired of being an official, even the emperor and prime minister are also shouting tired every day.
Lin Qixu put aside those trivial matters, poured a cup of tea for his younger brother, and asked, "Say, what is the specific matter?" The maids around him all retreated.
Lin Qichen moved the low stool, leaned over and whispered, "The emperor and I mentioned the matter of Gu poison. I also want to inquire specifically about what my sister saw in Suiguo Mansion that day. β
Lin Qixu curled his face and said, "What did you say?" β
I said, I don't know. I need to ask you. "Naturally, it is impossible to explain to the emperor directly.
Lin Qixu paused for a long time before he said, "Have you ever understood Gu?" β
"I've only heard a few things in the market."
"In the past, I saw it in books, but it was only a light touch. Since I found out, I did study for a while, Gu is divided into many categories, the most common is insect Gu, but most of the Gu poison is implanted in the human body, and there is no way that people who have been in Gu can still live and rest basically normally for ten years. I think that the emperor's Gu poison should be a mutated and improved chronic Gu, and it should be the person who has put down the Gu to think of something... Uh, inhibition? Lin Qixu guessed uncertainly.
Lin Qichen nodded and said, "What my sister said is inseparable from what the emperor revealed to me. To solve the Gu, you must find a clay pot, which is the container for raising Gu. β
"It must be a clay pot?"
"Isn't it?" Lin Qichen was stunned, generally Gu was raised in clay pots.
Lin Qixu pondered for a long time before he said, "Or, it's a special clay pot." Since Gu poison is not the same, there is no reason why the container should be the same. β
"Yes, but it's hard to find. It stands to reason that the more intense and powerful the Gu poison smell, the heavier the smell, but the emperor has been looking for a long time, but he still has no eyebrows. If it is assumed that the Gu poison is ordered by the Queen Mother, then eighty percent of the Suiguo Mansion will not be able to escape. In the bamboo forest, the emperor thought it was very suspicious. "Bamboo is known as the saying of warding off evil spirits, probably because of this bamboo forest, it covers the rich and disgusting smell of Gu itself.
"How is the emperor's health lately?"
"It's not great. However, relying on Miss Jiang's few herbs, she fainted in the imperial study yesterday. β
Lin Qixu's eyes were a little worried: "How can this be good?" β
Lin Qichen smiled suddenly: "I thought my sister would be very happy, after all, the emperor really has something, and the most likely one is this one." He tapped the ground with his toes.
"I'm just the same old man." From a side concubine to an imperial concubine. Look at Qinling's days in the palace now, but the gap is only half a catty and eight taels.
Thinking of Qinling, Lin Qixu had to think of another matter, and said with concern: "The rumors between you and Qinling ......"
"Sister, don't worry, since the Yue clan came to that ghost thing of the truth instrument, the whole court is talking about that thing. If it weren't for my own uncle's creation, I would have thought it would be deceptive. Lin Qichen muttered, in fact, he really didn't believe these things in his heart.
Lin Qixu also agreed: "Indeed, even I have heard a lot in the palace. Is it also very popular? β
"It's amazing, it's almost demonized." Lin Qichen's eyebrows fluttered, and then he restrained his smile again, and asked a little uncertainly, "Sister, I heard that you went to the palace last time to accompany Concubine Rong, and you were troubled by the Queen Mother?" β
Lin Qixu didn't want to worry his younger brother, but he had to say truthfully: "But some side knocks, trying to find out what I saw in the Suiguo Mansion, these words, my sister still coped with them." β
It's hard to be good or not.
Lin Qichen silently added in his heart.
Especially in the back court, the queen mother is both an elder and a noble, and her sister put it bluntly that the concubine of a prince really has no confidence to argue with the queen mother of a country.
"The truth is uneasy when I think about it. The rumors spread so chaotically, the emperor will definitely do something in order to break the rumors, so as to save this thing from affecting the people's hearts and causing chaos to the court. β
Lin Qixu was suddenly shocked when he heard his younger brother say this: "Could it be that he is really... Big impact? β
"The impact is huge, but the number of truth-telling devices is limited, so it can't be popularized." Lin Qichen took the maid's towel, wiped the crumbs on his hands, and continued, "I heard that the capital of the Yue Clan is about to use it as a torture tool. β
"No wonderβ" Lin Qixu really admired his uncle at this time.
Lin Qichen said: "When I was a child, I always wanted to have a foreign family and a capable uncle. Unfortunately, my uncle came a little late. So, sister, don't worry, when you have a child in the future, I will definitely be the best uncle in the world. β
Children - what a distant and undesirable beauty. Fortunately, Lin Qixu was accustomed to the emptiness in his heart, but he was as plain as water, and smiled as usual: "Let's talk about it." (To be continued.) )
