Chapter 8 Dream Lovesickness
It's still breakfast time in the Jin Palace. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info But today is a little different from yesterday, the Xu family brothers and sisters did not appear! This made Xia Zimo's mood not very good!
"Xiaomo, why don't you have energy today?!" Duanmu Li asked.
"It's fine!" Xia Zimo raised his face buried deep in the bowl and asked, "Why didn't the wind and the moon come over today?" ”
"They're in the General's Palace!" Duanmuli explained: "They don't come every day. ”
"I thought it was ......," Xia Zimo said sullenly.
"Don't you want to open a green building, how are you looking for a place?" Duanmu Li remembered that Xia Mo had said that he would open a Qinglou, so he changed the subject.
At this time, Xia Zimo's mouth was chewing rice, and he said vaguely: "It's almost." ”
"So fast!" Duanmu Li was surprised, he didn't expect him to be able to find a suitable position in one night.
"Well, I still have to go and talk about the specifics today." Xia Zimo swallowed the food in his mouth, and said it very clearly this time.
"I'll go with you!" Duanmu Li wanted to see what kind of place he had found.
"No, aren't you busy?"
At this time, Xia Zimo didn't want Duanmu Li to interfere too much in her affairs. Although she lives in his house now, this does not change the fact that they have only known each other for less than a day.
"By the way, do you know who is the most talented person in this capital?" Xia Zimo asked. She was very unfamiliar with the capital, so she could only ask Duanmu Li for help.
"The atmosphere in the capital is a little chaotic now! Many people just have the reputation of being talented, vassal and elegant, and they don't have much knowledge at all. Those who have real learning generally stay at home and study hard! It's hard to say who is the most talented learner! ”
Duanmu Li had a headache when he thought of the current atmosphere in the capital!
"That's not what I want to ask. Let me ask another question, who is the best teacher in the capital? ”
"What are you looking for? Xiaomo, do you want to study? I'll teach it! Duanmu Li was a little excited.
"Of course not, please teach me! Hurry up and answer my question! Xia Zimo's vigilance suddenly increased, why did she feel a chill just now?
"Ahem!" Duanmu Li cleared his throat, put away the feelings he had accidentally revealed just now, and said seriously: "Of course, the best teacher is Taifu!" However, I heard that Li Qingyuan's talent in the west of the city is not inferior to that of Taifu. ”
"Listen to whom?" Xia Zimo asked curiously.
"I heard" is too insecure! In modern times, this word is often heard, and as long as it is crowned with these two words, its credibility will be greatly reduced. No way, it turns out that what "I heard" is generally false, and what "experts" say is more reliable. Of course, a lot of "experts" are also fake.
There is so much information in modern times!
"In his early years, my father wanted to ask him to be the Taifu, but he was refused, so he cheapened the current Taifu!" Duanmu Li's heart appeared in his heart with the fat head and big ears of the current Taifu, it was really disgusting, he almost vomited the meal he had just eaten, and his appetite suddenly grew, and he put down his chopsticks.
"You'd better not spread your words to the ears of the current Taifu!" Xia Zimo looked at Duanmu Li a little speechlessly. It's not good to speak ill of people behind their backs, even if it's telling the truth.
"Of course I know, it's not just you and me now!" Duanmu Li said intimately.
Xia Zimo felt more and more that today's Duanmu Li was a little unusual. Did he take the wrong medicine? Or is it revealing its essence?
Xia Zimo continued to ask, "Then what kind of person is Li Qingyuan?" ”
"That's a weirdo! That's what a lot of people say about him. He teaches only by interest. If you're not interested, it's useless to put a knife on your neck. Duanmu Li gave an example to prove it: "Back then, my father and the emperor decreed that he should be a concubine, but people would rather die than obey!" In the end, it was the father who withdrew the decree, and the matter was settled. ”
"Oh?" Xia Zimo became interested when he heard this, and then asked, "What are the characteristics of that person?" How can I find him? ”
"He looks like an ordinary old man in his fifties, who has set up a small stall in the west of the city and makes a living by selling calligraphy and paintings! It's easy to find as long as you get to the west of the city. ”
"That's all? Are there any other features? It's still a bit difficult to find someone based on this information alone! Xia Zimo frowned.
Duanmu Li thought hard and said, "He used to cough constantly, and I don't know if he's getting better now!"
Not long after Xia Zimo arrived in the west of the city, he saw an old man, in his fifties, coughing non-stop, he was sitting in a rocking chair, and his front was full of calligraphy and paintings. It is very much in line with the appearance of Li Qingyuan described by Duanmu Li. However, he was wrong about one thing, Li Qingyuan was not an ordinary person, and it was impossible for ordinary people to have such serious internal injuries - half of his life had stepped into the loess.
Xia Zimo walked over and clasped his fists with both hands, and said, "In Xia Mo, your Excellency is Mr. Li Qingyuan?" ”
Li Qingyuan raised his head and frowned: "I have never seen you." ”
"Yes, it's the first time we've met!" Xia Zimo replied frankly.
Xia Zimo's honesty made Li Qingyuan have a slight impression of her, he touched his somewhat gray beard, and said, "Is there anything wrong with finding the old man?" ”
"I want to ask my husband to teach." Xia Zimo said what he meant.
"Good! I teach! Li Qingyuan replied crisply.
Xia Zimo was dumbfounded: Why did he agree so easily? Didn't you hear that he had a hard time getting it? The prepared rhetoric is useless? She complained unwillingly: "Why don't you excuse yourself, how can anyone agree so easily!" ”
"Even if I refuse, you will try your best to convince me, why bother." Li Qingyuan's eyes shone with wisdom.
"I didn't expect you to know me well." Xia Zimo sighed.
"Who do you want me to teach?" Li Qingyuan turned to the topic. He could feel that the person in front of him definitely didn't need him to teach.
"I'm going to open a green house, those women need to learn all kinds of knowledge!"
Li Qingyuan was full of black lines, and he already regretted that he had promised so simply. Let him teach the girls in the Qinglou, this is really a challenging job.
Xia Zimo pretended not to see the black line on Li Qingyuan's head, and continued: "What do you want as a reward?" ”
Those who have refused to be a Taifu must not want money.
"Whatever you can give me, I want!" He has always taught only by interest.
"How many years have you been coughing?" Xia Zimo suddenly changed the topic.
"It's been many years, and suddenly ask what is this for?"
"I know a little bit about medicine, how about 'curing my cough' as a reward?" Xia Zimo asked.
Li Qingyuan's eyes darkened: "My cough is not so easy to treat." ”
"I know! If it had been cured a long time ago, why wait until now! ”
"Who the hell are you?" Li Qingyuan asked. It is definitely not easy to heal people who have been injured in so many years.
Xia Zimo smiled slyly: "Just an ordinary person!" ”
Li Qingyuan laughed: "If you can cure this disease, I will promise you three conditions!" ”
"It's a deal!"
"It's a deal!"
Xia Zimo was in a good mood, she left the city and walked towards Baicaotang. There were questions she needed to ask.
In the study of Baicao Hall, Xia Zimo sat at the table and flipped through the books in his hands, and asked Shopkeeper He seemingly casually: "Old He, do you know Miss Yi'er in Lichun Courtyard?" ”
Shopkeeper He's intuition told him that the young master had told him about Miss Yi'er in front of him, which must have other meanings. He replied in a proper manner, "I heard that this girl died last night due to the cold?!" ”
"Yes, I'm dead! What a pity! Xia Zimo thought back to Wanrong's appearance, and couldn't help but praise: "That's really a wonderful person!" ”
Shopkeeper He doesn't understand, Na Yi'er has been sick for a month, how did the young master see it? Although Na Yi'er looks a little good, she doesn't deserve such praise from the young master!
She continued to ask casually, "Have we been to the doctor before?"
"Yes, it was a few people who went."
"Smack!"
Xia Zimo closed the book. Shopkeeper He's heart trembled.
"How are they diagnosed?" Xia Zimo asked the key.
"It seems to be the wind chill, right?!" Shopkeeper He replied more carefully.
Xia Zimo suddenly looked directly into Shopkeeper He's eyes, and asked again, "Then have you been there?" ”
The back of the shopkeeper He was constantly breaking out in a cold sweat at this time, and he replied truthfully: "My subordinates went there once a few days ago. ”
Xia Zimo stood up, looked at Shopkeeper He playfully and continued to ask, "Then what do you think?"
"My subordinates felt that if it was a cold, it should have been cured a long time ago. According to her subordinates, she was probably poisoned. ”
"What's that poison?" Xia Zimo walked to Shopkeeper He as he spoke.
Shopkeeper He secretly glanced at Xia Zimo and said, "The subordinates are ignorant, and they haven't found out what kind of poison it is!" ”
"Bastard!" Xia Zimo changed his playfulness just now and slapped the table suddenly.
"Bump!"
The table made of hundred-year-old sandalwood shattered in response.
She didn't hide her anger at this time: "You don't know what kind of poison it is?" Are you telling me that you simply aren't up to the job? ”
Shopkeeper He was completely frightened by Xia Zimo's anger at this time, and he could only keep saying, "My subordinates don't dare." ”
"Humph! I don't think you didn't see it, but you didn't dare to say it! That's the 'Dream Acacia' I made with my own hands! That's something that only we have in the Hundred Grass Hall! This poison has appeared on your realm, and you told me you didn't know! ”
Xia Zimo suddenly put away all his anger and looked at Shopkeeper He calmly: "Shouldn't you explain it to me?" ”
"Young master, I've already checked it, the Beijing branch hasn't sold this poison in the past half a year!"
"Really?" After Xia Zimo asked lightly, he fell into deep thought: "Since I didn't buy it here, I bought it in a branch hall elsewhere!" ”
"Dream Acacia" is only valid for half a year, and once half a year has passed, it will become a non-toxic thing. It produces a colorless and odorless smoke when it is burned in a fire, and it can be poisoned when smelled in the time of half a cup of tea. As long as the time passes, the smoke will dissipate without a trace, so that people can not find the slightest trace. The poisoning symptoms of this poison are also very similar to those of wind chill. So this poison has always been popular.
In the past six months, not a single grain has been sold here in the capital?! I have to say that this capital is really "peaceful"!
Shopkeeper He proposed: "My subordinates will immediately contact other branches to investigate this matter?" ”
"No need, Yi'er is dead anyway, we're just a medicine seller, so don't get involved." Xia Zimo then asked: "Has anyone come to buy the antidote to 'Dream Acacia' recently?" ”
Shopkeeper He thought carefully for a while and replied, "No, but just a few days ago, there was a person who came to buy a pill that can cure all kinds of poisons (the medicinal effect is not as good as Snow Skin Jade Dew Pills)." ”
"Who's that guy?"
"It's a man in a cloak, covering his face, his face can't be seen clearly, but there is a strong smell of blood on his body!"
