The 269th Reception

Jia asked Hong Lan to take a few personal maids to burn all her secret medicines as quickly as possible, and Hong Lan took out a bottle from it: "You can keep this." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

This is a small bottle of fragrant medicine, Jia Shi looked at it, and said: "This is a fragrant medicine from the Western Regions, which is said to be able to rejuvenate the fetus and nourish the spirits, but I have never used it...... Why keep this? ”

Honglan explained: "If all the medicines are burned, there will be no medicine left in Madame's courtyard, so it is a little unnatural, and this should be left behind." ”

"You are right, you should indeed leave a little medicine, and not having any medicine will make people suspicious." Jia Shi nodded, she looked at it, there are still a lot of tonic medicines, so why don't you just keep these? But she shook her head in the end, she couldn't be reluctant, it's not good to keep too much, and they are all precious and rare medicines, just keep a bottle, keep too much, if Xiangguo finds out, he will also be suspicious of himself.

Honglan lit a fire and burned the piled up medicine, Jia Shi watched the fire start, and hurriedly turned his face away, alas, this is not an ordinary medicine, but a rare thing of great value. She was in great pain, and at the same time hated Bai Ji even more in her heart: if there was no such little girl, why did she have to burn these treasures.

After these drugs were burned to ashes, Honglan immediately threw them all into the stream in the courtyard and let it flow downstream, and she finally reassured herself: this time, there would be no evidence of any guilt. Since meeting Bai Ji, Hong Lan has finally felt uneasy, she is afraid that Bai Ji will find out those drugs.

It didn't take long to hear the noisy voices of people outside the courtyard, and Jia Shi brought a few maids to the door, and just as he bumped into Lu Bu walking to the gate of the courtyard, Lu Bu arched his hand towards Jia Shi and saluted: "Mrs. Jia, the last general will be ordered by Xiangguo to search all the courtyards of the inner garden, and if there is something offended, I hope Haihan." ”

“…… Got it, General Lu, please. Jia Shi almost didn't stand firm, but she finally tried her best to maintain her calm face on the surface, and her heart was up and down, fortunately, she had listened to Hong Lan's words before, but she didn't expect to really start searching in a blink of an eye, if Hong Lan didn't propose just now, she didn't dare to think about the consequences.

"Sister Jia, I'm also here to take a look, won't I be welcome?"

Bai Ji smiled lightly at Jia's family, and her bright smile did not have a trace of haze, which made people think that the relationship between them was very good, and there was no barrier.

Jia Shi also smiled reluctantly: "Welcome Sister Bai Ji, it's a pity that my sister came unfortunately, and my sister didn't prepare some good snacks in the yard."

Seeing that Mrs. Jia neither showed anger nor objected, Lu Bu began to order the guards to enter the courtyard and search: "Remember to handle everything with care, and don't cause trouble to Mrs. Jia...... But don't let go of any of them, and block all the courtyard gates, and don't let any maids go to other courtyards. He instructed him to be careful not to let anyone leak the news, so that the other concubines could prepare in advance, and the most important thing about the search for poison was sudden, so that they could not plan in advance.

Jia Shi felt a little at ease at this time, so she was helped by the maid to the pavilion and stone bench in the courtyard to rest for a while: "Sister Bai Ji, you can also come and sit for a while, don't stand for a long time and get tired." ”

Bai Ji was not polite, and without even saying hello, she walked over and found a stone bench, and then sat down.

Jia Shi looked at Lu Bu who was standing behind Bai Ji, and said politely: "General Lu, the concubine is a woman from the inner garden of Xiangguo, it is inconvenient to talk to male guests, and if you don't entertain well, I hope General Lu doesn't mind." ”

Lu Bu stood outside the pavilion with his hands tied, and said to the Jia family: "Madam is too polite, it's rude Bu." ”

Jia Shi instructed the maid to serve tea and snacks to Bai Ji, and also asked someone to bring Lu Bu a cup of tea, which was regarded as entertaining Lu Bu.

The speed of the search was very fast, but in just half an hour, the guards had already searched the courtyard of the Jia family: "Report to the general, I only found such a bottle of potion in a cabinet, it seems that I have never seen it before." One of the guards took out a bottle of medicine that Honglan had left behind.

Lu Bu took the bottle and looked at it carefully for a while: "...... There is a strange fragrance, I have never seen such a potion, Lady Bai Ji, take a look? ”

Bai Ji walked out and inadvertently glanced at Jia, who was sitting and drinking tea, not worried at all.

Taking the medicine bottle from Lu Bu's hand, Bai Ji sniffed it, and then said affirmatively: "This is just an ordinary medicine for fetal concentrating, it is more rare, no wonder many people have not seen it." Not poison, though. ”

Jia Shi put down the teacup and smiled at her: "Sister Bai Ji is really well-informed, this medicine was bought back from the Western Regions, and our Jia family has just such a bottle, and the price is not cheap." ”

Bai Ji handed the medicine bottle to Lu Bu: "Let the guards put this medicine back, this is not what we want to search." ”

"yes, okay."

Lu Bu instructed the guards to put the medicine back in its place, so the guards began to evacuate Jia's courtyard, but Bai Ji did not leave immediately, but walked a few more steps in the courtyard, she raised her head and smelled it, and asked Jia's family, "Has there been anything burned in this courtyard?" ”

Jia's heart tightened, but he immediately eased up, and secretly scolded Bai Ji for being really a dog's nose, and he could actually smell that they had burned the medicine, and at this time, there was often a lot of light wind blowing in the area of Luoyang, and this matter was treated by Honglan, so there should be no smell in the courtyard. She immediately pretended not to know and said: "Maybe the people burned the fallen leaves, I usually only ask about the sweeping in the courtyard, so I don't know much." ”

Bai Ji said with a smile: "Yes, why do I think this smell doesn't seem to burn fallen leaves." ”

Jia's hands trembled a little, but he still smiled with a relaxed smile: "Sister Bai Ji really has too much heart. "The medicine has been burned, and the ashes have been thrown into the flowing stream, what can this little girl do if she doubts herself? As long as she can't produce evidence, she won't dare to slander herself in front of Xiangguo.

Bai Ji didn't dwell on this matter, but turned her head to look at the stream, and said to Jia: "This stream is really clear, I really envy Sister Jia, there is such a stream in the courtyard." ”

Jia Shi couldn't help frowning: This little girl is really not an ordinary trouble, fortunately, she can be sure that Bai Ji can't come up with evidence, otherwise she will be scared at this time. She smiled generously and said, "If Sister Bai Ji likes this stream, she can come to sit here from time to time." ”

Bai Ji waved her hand: "It's just the first time I saw it and I was a little curious, Sister Jia doesn't have to be polite, I'll retire." ”

"Okay, I'm not going to send you off." Watching Bai Ji take the maids farther and farther, Jia finally took a long breath, as soon as she relaxed, she felt that her back was wet and sticky, and it turned out that cold sweat had soaked the clothes inside, she secretly cursed Bai Ji for being a little goblin, and ordered her subordinates to boil water for her to prepare to wash away the cold sweat on her body.

After the maids around him retreated, Jia Shi looked at Hong Lan, who had been standing with her hands in her hands, looking at her well-behaved appearance with her eyes and nose and heart. Jia sighed: "Fortunately, Lan'er, otherwise I would really regret it...... This time, I will definitely reward you well. ”

Honglan bowed her head: "This is all the duty of a slave." ”

******

Lu Bu followed Bai Ji with the guards to Cai Fang's courtyard again, and Bai Ji already knew it in her heart at this time: In fact, the one who was most likely to find the medicine was Jia's, but she didn't expect that there might be someone high enough to mention it around Jia's, or someone might leak the news and let her escape. Then, it is estimated that other courtyards will not be able to search or anything.

Cai Fang took the maid to stand in the courtyard, neither entertained Bai Ji, nor said a word to Lu Bu, but just let the guards go in to search, which was relatively cooperative. Cai Fang's yard was not much bigger than Yuan's, and naturally it didn't take much time to complete the search, except for finding some herbs to treat wind cold and heat, naturally nothing was found.

Lu Bu apologized to Cai Fang and left with the guards.

When Bai Ji was about to leave, Cai Fang said softly: "Although the matter of the Yuan family has nothing to do with me, I still thank Bai Ji for taking action, at least I didn't let them kill people." ”

Bai Ji turned around, turned his back to Cai Fang and said, "That's Yuan's own life." ”

After that, she came to the residence of the Li family in the West Courtyard, although her face was very ugly, and she was not as humble and polite to Lu Bu and Bai Ji as the Jia family, but after all, it was Xiangguo's order, and she could only stare at and let the guards go in to search, but the Li family was different from the Jia family, although she also wanted to harm people, she would not use anything like poison, so she still did not find any suspicious drugs.

The last is the princess Liu Yao's compound, the reason why Lu Bu wants to search the princess's compound in the end is because he feels that the princess is noble and worried that the princess is unwilling. But Liu Yao is not a domineering person like Liu Ying, after hearing that it was Dong Zhuo's order, she cooperated very well and asked Lu Bu to search with the guards, and then she asked her subordinates to entertain Bai Ji and her in the courtyard to enjoy the scenery together.

"I heard that you saved the Yuan family?"

Liu Yao asked.

"Hmm." Bai Ji nodded, and ate the pastries that Liu Yao ordered his subordinates to bring to herself. Before, Jia's yard was just a little ordinary fruit cake, and neither Cai's nor Li's entertained her, so Liu Yao's pastries here are the best, and the plate of pastries in front of her is red, green, white, orange, and brown with five colors intertwined, although there are five colors, it doesn't look strange, and the aroma is overflowing, which is very attractive. Shirahime still doesn't have a soft mouth when it comes to good food.

Liu Yao saw her eating pastries, she didn't have any scruples about her identity, and she was different from other women, after all, they were both Dong Zhuo's concubines, and if they changed to someone else, would they eat snacks in other concubines like this? Thinking of this, Liu Yao unconsciously showed a hint of a smile: "...... You're really special. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Bai Ji finished eating another piece of pastry, and she took a sip of her tea. Although he raised his eyes and glanced at Liu Yao, his hand stretched out to the third pastry.

“…… Is it tasty? Liu Yao didn't answer.

"It's not bad, it's sweet and fluffy, but it's not greasy." Bai Ji said, and ate it again.

"This is a pastry in the palace, a five-color cake, with five kinds of fillings, the workmanship is relatively fine, and it also pays attention to the matching of fillings, so it is sweet and delicious, and it will not make people feel greasy when they eat it."

"Oh......"

"Actually, since I went to see you in the East Courtyard that time, I have always wanted to talk to you again, but I didn't expect you to come by yourself today." Liu Yao looked at Bai Ji and stopped talking.

"What does the princess have to say?"

Bai Ji didn't raise her head, seeing that the plate of five-color cakes that Liu Yao brought up was about to be eaten by her.

"Actually...... I believe that your Xu family has never done such a thing as colluding with the Xianbei people. ”

Liu Yao said in a low voice.

“……”

Bai Ji's hand was about to reach for the last piece of pastry, but after listening to Liu Yao's words, his hand stopped. (To be continued.) )
