==Chapter 121==

The King of Chu quickly gathered the medicinal materials that the poisonous girl wanted.

The poisonous girl was more anxious than the king of Chu, and after getting the medicinal materials, she asked people to prepare a set of special utensils for herself, and began to make the antidote.

During this period, the spirit of the poisonous girl has been unstable, happy and sad, sometimes excited and sometimes sluggish, and the gods are chattering, which makes Jiu Niang very worried. After all, the medicinal properties of this thing are not allowed to be sloppy. So she discussed with the King of Chu, and she came to watch the poisonous girl dispense medicine, although she didn't know much about these, but after all, she also learned some from the poisonous girl back then, and it was always good to stare at them.

Helplessly, the king of Chu did not agree, he seemed to be very afraid of letting Jiuniang get along with the poisonous girl. After several arguments, in the end, it was over, and the king of Chu also promised Jiuniang that he would be cautious when taking the antidote when the time came.

After the poisonous girl dispensed the antidote, she handed over the things to the king of Chu, and at the same time gave the king of Chu a pair of decoctions and massage techniques used to pull out the poison and soak the legs and feet with the antidote. Jiu Niang's mood is very weird, you must know that this recipe and massage technique, she handed it over to the King of Chu many years ago, and I don't know if the King of Chu will think about it.

However, the king of Chu didn't say anything, and he didn't show anything unusual, and Jiu Niang covered her ears and stole the bell, and nothing happened. Anyway, she thought about it, if the king of Chu asked, she would not admit it, and she couldn't find out anything, because she and the poisonous girl had never intersected, and as for the reliving of a life, I'm afraid no one could think of this.

On the day when King Chu took the antidote, Jiuniang stayed aside.

Because this matter was very secret and could not be known to outsiders, the king of Chu did not put the location in the palace of the king of Chu, but went to a private house.

After the king of Chu took the antidote, he began to get hot all over his body, and sweated profusely, the soup bath was ready, Chang Shun and Imperial Doctor Liu helped the king of Chu into the inner room, while Jiu Niang waited anxiously outside.

Time passed slowly, and there were waiters changing the hot water inside, and sometimes bringing out some sewage. After almost two hours, Chang Shun and Imperial Physician Liu walked out with tired faces, saying that the king of Chu had rested, and there was nothing wrong with the antidote.

Seeing this, Jiu Niang put her mind at ease, and with Chang Shun and others watching, she was also very relieved, so she went back to her room to rest.

After the king of Chu woke up, he used the poison extraction decoction to pull out the poison on the legs that had accumulated toxins for a long time, because there was Jiu Niang's poison extraction recipe before, so this time it didn't take too much time like in the previous life, and it could be completely removed after about ten days of use.

As time passed, the day when the toxins were completely eliminated finally came, and even the King of Chu couldn't help but show a little joy when he saw his legs and feet that had returned to normal complexion.

After that, it is natural to rebuild the legs and feet, after all, the king of Chu has not moved for many years, even if the poison is detoxified, but he can't act as usual for a while.

At this point, Jiu Niang and the others were completely relieved, and Chang Shun was very happy, and he could see a little joy between his eyebrows for many days.

On the other side, the King of Chu kept his promise and handed over Bai Xuanyi to the poisonous girl, as for whether Bai Xuanyi's family handed it over to the poisonous girl, this question Jiu Niang did not ask. Maybe those people are really innocent, but the conditions discussed at the beginning, and with the heart of King Chu, he will not care about those lives.

A few days later, the news of the poisonous girl's death suddenly came, and the specific Jiuniang was not very clear, she only knew that the poisonous girl was dead, Bai Xuanyi was also dead, and the two died together, as for Bai Xuanyi's family, she survived.

This is also a blessing in misfortune.

*

Winter goes to spring, and in the blink of an eye, another year has passed.

A lot of things have happened in the past six months, and with the marriage date of Xiao Sanniang, Xiao Liuniang and Jiuniang set, the marriages of Xiao Siniang, Xiao Wuniang and others have also begun to spread. However, Duchess Anguo seems to have already asserted that Xiao Siniang and Xiao Wuniang's marriages have been decided, although they are not very well married, they are not as good as Xiao Sanniang and Xiao Jiuniang, but they are not too bad, they are all people with the same status and can enhance some strength for the Xiao family.

Xiao Qiniang's marriage was also decided, and unexpectedly the object was a child of a poor family, a man who had just been lifted. Xiao Qiniang is naturally unwilling, but the person was chosen by the Cui family, and the Duchess of An Guo made a decision, and she couldn't question it more. As for Xiao Banniang, Xiao Shi Niang and Xiao Shi Niang, because they are not very old, there is no need to rush for a while, and the Xiao family will have a plan at that time.

Because of the marriage of several little ladies in the mansion, there were also some small waves in the Anguo Mansion, but this qiē has nothing to do with Jiuniang.

In March, King Zhao got married. It was also in this month that the Anguo Mansion held a grand ceremony for Jiuniang.

In May, King Cheng got married, and Xiao Sanniang got married.

Xiao Liuniang's wedding date was set for August, and the Wang family urged it several times before the wedding date was set before Jiuniang. As for Xiao Siniang, because the identity of her husband's family is not as good as that of King Chu, so there is no need to follow any order, and the marriage date is set for the next year after Jiuniang gets married, after all, this year, the Anguo Mansion will marry three daughters in a row, and it is not allowable in terms of energy.

On the day Xiao Sanniang returned to the door, the Anguo Mansion was very lively.

King Cheng came to the Anguo Mansion with Xiao Sanniang, and after meeting the elders in Anrong Courtyard, King Cheng went to talk with the men in the house, and Xiao Sanniang accompanied the women in the house to gossip.

Xiao Sanniang was dressed in a regulated princess crown dress, and seeing her ruddy complexion and a hint of shyness in her expression, she could know that the newlywed king treated her well in the past few days.

Sanniang is very popular in the Anguo Mansion, not only to please the elders, but also to get along well with some of the younger sisters below, so the sisters who have been ranked down from her are all here, and even Xiao Shiniang, who rarely goes out, is also present today.

For Xiao Shiniang's younger sister, Jiu Niang didn't pay too much attention to it, because she was too low-key in the house, she always stayed in the four-room courtyard during the day, except for coming to Anrong Courtyard every day to ask Duchess An Guo to say goodbye, she rarely went out on weekdays.

At the beginning of this year, Eleven Niang also went to Guozijian to study, because she could write a very good hand, and she also showed some prominence in school, especially as she grew older, the mother of the fourth house, Liu, also failed to give birth to a daughter.

Yiqiē is similar to Xiao Shiyiniang's life trajectory in the previous life, Jiuniang thought, whose should it be, who will it be after all, and others can't take it away or snatch it. This Xiao Shi Niang was a smart person in her last life, and she had a very good plan for her life, and she is still like this in this life, and she must not have a bad time in the future.

After talking to the juniors for a while, Duchess An Guo left with the excuse of lack of knowledge. She is here, and the juniors are always a little restrained. After that, Zheng took his daughter Sanniang into the inner room to talk about himself, leaving Xiao Siniang and others to get along.

Xiao Qiniang saw that Xiao Sanniang was dressed in a gorgeous princess dress, which was dazzling, comparing all the sisters, and the third brother-in-law became the king, not only handsome and chic, but also noble, which suddenly made her jealous.

Especially compared with the sisters who have already been married, her marriage is the worst, which makes her even more resentful.

When Xiao Sanniang and Zheng were there, she didn't dare to provoke, there were only a few sisters left at this time, and she couldn't help but sneer a few words.

"The third sister is really lucky, she is favored by the elders at home, and her marriage is also the best. This is married to Chengwang's cousin, and when he is a cousin, he can still bully his cousin, looking at the second aunt's anxious look, as if she was afraid that her daughter would suffer some grievances in Chengwang's mansion. ”

Xiao Qiniang's words were a bit inappropriate, not to mention talking about the elders in private, in terms of morality, there was a difference, just this yin and yang weird tone, everyone present did not dare to answer her tone.

It was a little cold for a while, and everyone looked at Xiao Qiniang with strange eyes.

It's just that he didn't dare to answer, and it didn't prevent everyone's contempt for Xiao Qiniang.

Yao Ji was not so formless at the beginning, when she was older, she was not as good as when she was a child, she knew how to pretend to be left and right earlier, and then she got along together for a long time, and everyone also understood her temperament.

Those who know a little bit of things are drawing a line with her, but they are affectionate, Xiao Siniang and Xiao Liuniang had a good relationship with her before, but now Xiao Siniang has changed greatly and lived in a simple life, Xiao Siniang has been taught a few times by Ma, and she has less contact with her.

No one wants to be a gunman for such a person, and no one is a fool.

Xiao Qiniang saw that she was isolated by her sisters in the family, not only did she not find the reason from herself, but she resented everyone. During this period, some small things happened, and after she was reprimanded by the elders a few times, she simply broke the jar and broke it. In addition to making trouble everywhere and instigating her in the day, I haven't seen her do anything serious.

No wonder he is now an outcast!

In the eyes of Xiao Siniang and others, this Xiao Siniang is indeed an outcast now. As long as she can be more competitive, with the Xiao family's family background, she will not be reduced to being given a just-in-the-middle move.

Xiao Qiniang just resented her mother-in-law Cui's treatment of her sweetheartedness, but she didn't know that what she did in the day had already made Duchess Anguo and other elders extremely disappointed in her. Now she is not destined to be given a lift, but she doesn't know which noble family to be a stepmother or a concubine.

The family of the son who was married to Xiao Sanniang was indeed poor, but fortunately, he was motivated, and there was no wife at home. With the name of the Xiao family, he will not be able to get ahead if he struggles for another two years.

It's just that Xiao Qiniang can't see this qiē at all, because of all kinds of imbalances in her heart, even if she occasionally resents on weekdays, today's Sanniang's happy day, she not only picked up the second lady Zheng in front of people, but even Xiao Sanniang was jealous.

I don't know how her head has grown over the years, don't you know that Zheng, as the wife in charge of the second room, is not bad in terms of status, except for being a little worse than the eldest lady of the Cui family? Xiao Qiniang is not married yet, just to be married, like her, a daughter who is not valued by the family, and can even be said to be unpopular, Duchess Anguo will not worry about her marriage, if the Zheng family wants to deal with her, there are more means, just doing some tricks on the dowry, it is enough for her to stand it.

This is really stupid and incurable!

Xiao Siniang sat far away from Xiao Qiniang by the action of serving tea.

In the past, when A-Niang said Xiao Qiniang, she didn't think so, she felt that A-Niang was prejudiced, but now it seems that A-Niang is right, this Xiao Qiniang is so open-mouthed, she didn't have to worry about her.

Jiu Niang, who was sitting on the soft couch in the corner, glanced lightly at Xiao Qi Niang, who was not far away with distorted eyebrows.

It seems that this person's experience really affects people's growth, she remembers that Xiao Qiniang was not so stupid in her previous life, or she may not have met any opponents, without her interference in her previous life, Xiao Qiniang has been living smoothly. Xiao Siniang, Xiao Liuniang, and Xiao Banniang, Xiao Rong in the previous life, are all brainless people, no wonder they have made guns for Xiao Qiniang for so many years, so that she has always been able to maintain this hypocritical face, and it did not show up until the end.

It's a pity that in this life, due to the appearance of Jiu Niang, Xiao Qi Niang has suffered losses in her hands repeatedly, so her heart has changed and she has become more and more narrow-minded. Xiao Banniang Xiao Rong in the previous life was replaced by Xiao Qian, who didn't like to be top-notch, Xiao Liuniang has experienced a great change in her life, and now she lives in a simple place and rarely shows her face in front of people. And Xiao Siniang, because of the advice of the fourth houseowner, Mama, rarely interacted with him.

Without a gun, what Xiao Qiniang wants to do, it is inevitable that traces will be revealed, once or twice, and there are many times, and everyone has no good impression of her.

Seeing that everyone was avoiding her like a snake and scorpion, Xiao Qiniang's eyes suddenly turned red, clenched the handkerchief in her hand, and said with a stalk around her neck: "What's the matter, am I not right?" Grandmother always said that sisters should live in harmony with each other and help each other, and when you see that my future is not as good as yours, you look down on me like this? ”

Okay, it's up to the point that everyone looks down on her again, maybe everyone does have this reason, so they will be cold to her, but isn't this the root cause?

Without the presence of Xiao Sanniang, a former peacemaker, the atmosphere in the field was inevitably awkward.

Xiao Jiuniang looked at it coldly, and Xiao Siniang and the others just didn't make a sound.

Xiao Wuniang sighed, stood up, went to sit down next to Xiao Qiniang, and persuaded: "Seventh sister, don't think too much, we don't have this kind of thought, we are all sisters, but we are not as snobbish as you said." And when the third sister gets married this time, it is normal for the second aunt to be worried, but you don't talk about it like this, and it's not good to talk about the elders in private. ”

Xiao Qiniang was even more excited when she saw someone persuading her.

She didn't mention what she had just said, she just complained that everyone looked down on her and so on. And while talking, she wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and her face was full of grievances, as if someone had made her angry.

Xiao Wuniang has a good temper, and she follows Xiao Sanniang's way of doing things, otherwise who will eat her set, I didn't see that everyone was far away from her.

Jiu Niang looked away in disgust.

If it weren't for the fact that today was the day when Xiao Sanniang returned to the door, Jiu Niang really wanted to leave, so as not to sit here and watch some disgusting things and affect her mood.

Xiao is also here today, sitting silently in the corner without making a sound.

As Xiao Ru became more and more prominent, although Duchess An Guo did not propose to include her in the ranking, there was a family banquet in the house every day, or when she went out, she also tacitly accepted that she was the daughter of the Xiao family.

After all, Duchess Anguo still has the intention of marrying the Wang family, waste utilization, a daughter who has not spent money to raise her, if she can catch the Wang family's big house, why not do it. In particular, Wang Shilang has a good reputation in Chang'an City, and he is also a young talent, and his future is limitless.

Xiao Ruju knows all about this qiē edge, and she knows very well what the qiē she has now is built on. So she never dared to relax on Wang Shilang's side, which was the only life-saving straw rope she could hold on to at present.

After more than half a year of her hard work, Wang Shilang has now accepted her affection, and the two of them can be regarded as concubines. But Xiao Ru hasn't forgotten one thing, that is, Mrs. Wang doesn't treat her very well, not to mention that the Cheng family has been blocking her all the time.

With her current status, if she doesn't have some additional bonuses, it will be difficult to get the Wang family to agree to the matter between her and Wang Shilang.

Xiao Ru couldn't help but put her mind on Jiu Niang's head.

After all, Xiao Jiuniang and her mother, are about to marry the King of Chu to be the princess of Chu, although the two have had a quarrel in the eyes of outsiders before, but there is no overnight feud between the sisters, even if Jiuniang doesn't want to see her in her heart, as long as she looks at her a little differently on the surface, it is enough for her to use it as capital to operate something.

Xiao Ru has been working on this idea for more than a day or two, but she is still a little hesitant.

In fact, she didn't understand what was going on between herself and Xiao Jiuniang, there was an estrangement between the two sisters when they were in the Lingyuan, and then the incident of Jingyuan happened. Xiao Ru knew in her heart that she was jealous of Jiu Niang at that time, so it was inevitable that some words would be revealed, which made Jiu Niang feel estranged from her.

But at that time, she was still young and not sensible.

Later, when she came back to life, she also admitted that because of some things in her previous life, her mood had changed. She hated Xiao Jiuniang, was jealous of her, and was afraid of her at the same time. She obeyed the instructions of the county lord of Chaoxia and Xiao Liuniang, and framed Jiuniang. But she was also forced to be helpless, she was helpless, her only sister couldn't point to it, she could only use the county lord of Chaoxia to leave the wolf cave in Lingyuan.

She admitted that she was wrong, but she also said it before, how can there be any overnight feud between sisters, why is Xiao Jiuniang so ruthless, watching her struggling step by step, unwilling to lend a helping hand to her. Xiao Jiuniang was not like this in her previous life, why has she become like this now!

All of these qiē are hidden in Xiao Ru, churning day by day, and as time passes, it gradually twists into a mess. On weekdays, she never touches these, she also has her own self-esteem, her own pride, but now she can't do it if she doesn't want to.

Especially seeing Xiao Qiniang's appearance this time, it also made Xiao Ru feel sad that a rabbit died and a fox died.

What kind of person Duchess An Guo is, no one knows better than her, to put it bluntly, she is a character who does not see rabbits and does not scatter eagles. Otherwise, why don't you give her a rank and a name, so that you can always raise your status a little, but no matter how much she flatters her, how vague hints she makes, Duchess An Guo never answers, and she looks like she doesn't promise when she doesn't see the result.

Xiao Ru actually knew that even if Duchess An Guo included her in the ranking at this time, it would be useless. She is old, and she has not walked outside a lot, and no one knows her true details. And even if she has a name, no one will take care of her without a strong mother.

didn't see that Xiao Qiniang didn't have the support of Cui's family, and in the end she could only be downtrodden to marry a poor man. Seriously speaking, she is not even as good as Xiao Qi Niang, the Cui family can at least stand up to scrutiny, and the county lord of Chaoxia, don't say it.

And now, the only thing she can leverage is this 'sister'.

Xiao Ru gritted her teeth, came to Jiu Niang and sat down with a timid expression, and called out in a low voice: "Sister-"

Jiuniang plucked out her ears and looked at her in surprise, which one is this?

This surprised glance stimulated Xiao Ru's sensitive nerves. She tightened the handkerchief in her hand, forcibly suppressed the grievances in her heart, looked at Jiuniang with worried eyes, and called Sister again.

Well, this time I heard you right.

Jiuniang raised her eyebrows and didn't speak.

"Sister, are you still blaming me? In fact, the ones I did before were all because I was young and not sensible, and as for the ones that followed-" Xiao Ru paused and hung his head in shame, "You also know that I was forced to do it out of desperation. I know you're still angry with me, and I don't have the face to admit my mistake to you, but now that you're about to get married, there will be fewer times when we will see each other in the future, and I think I still have to come to say sorry to you. I'm sorry, sister. ”

Xiao Ru half-looked up on her little face, her face was full of anxiety, and in her big eyes, there were regrets, uneasiness, regrets, and full of admiration and expectations.

is really a face that can deceive people, and has a delicate heart, if there is no experience in the previous life, Jiuniang is afraid that at this time, she will be soft-hearted. After all, what Xiao Ru said was indeed reasonable, except for the two times when she was used by the county lord of Chaoxia to smear Jiuniang's reputation, she really didn't do anything to Jiu Niang, and she didn't come to disturb Jiu Niang on weekdays.

But it is precisely because of the experience of her previous life that Jiu Niang can be said to be afraid of the well rope after being bitten by a snake for ten years for a person like Xiao, and she doesn't want to have anything to do with her on weekdays, so how can she fall into her trap at this time.

Jiu Niang could guess with her toes that Xiao must have a plan to show favor like this.

She blinked, her expression cold: "I accept your apology, as for the rest, there is no need to say more." ”

Xiao Ru gritted her silver teeth and said with a forced smile: "It's good if Sister can forgive me, I only ask for this." ”

After whispering this, Xiao Ru went to sit aside, she also knew that there were some things that could not be rushed, but could only be done slowly.

Jiuniang was a little surprised by Xiao Ru's expression, since she had a plan, she would definitely fight the snake and climb the pole, but what was surprising was that Xiao Ru didn't.

But in an instant, she put this doubt behind her, and what happened to Xiao Ru had nothing to do with her.

*

The May day is like a child's face.

It is cloudy and sunny, the sun is shining for a while, and the thunderstorm is gusting for a while, which makes people overwhelmed.

At this time, the weather is also a little hot, especially a sudden shower, but after a while, it will force all the heat accumulated in the morning into the house, making people feel a little hot for no reason.

Lian Fang was fanning Jiu Niang on the side, and her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.

Jiu Niang, who was sitting on the couch flipping through the scroll, glanced at her and took the fan in her hand: "Go wash it, I'll come by myself." ”

Lian Fang understood Jiu Niang's temperament, and she didn't make any pretentiousness, turned around and walked out of the house.

Lianzhi walked in with a bowl of mung bean soup to relieve the heat.

Jiuniang is weak and can't stand the cold, but she is a heat-sensitive physique. Now I am still taking the medicine prescribed by Imperial Doctor Liu to recuperate, and I rarely drink something cool like mung bean soup on weekdays, but the weather these days is really weird, very hot, and I can't take care of it now.

Ice can't be used, and you can always drink some of the summer soup, otherwise you can't live this day.

Xiao Jiu'er lay on the ground at Jiu Niang's feet, sticking out her tongue and sighing. When people are hot, they can wear less, but this dog can't be skinned when it's hot.

Jiuniang took the mung bean soup in Lianzhi's hand, took a sip, and said, "Take a moment to cut off some of the hair on the wine, don't cut it too short, and follow last year." ”

After a winter and a spring, Xiaojiu'er also grew a smooth and moist long hair, which is just fine on weekdays, but it is a little difficult in summer.

In the early summer, Lianzhi and others tried to shear the little wine for the summer, and they had no experience together, and the beautiful little wine was cut all over the pits, so ugly that it couldn't be said to be ugly, but it looked a little funny.

This little thing is also beautiful, and after being laughed twice, it didn't come out under the couch, and it couldn't be called out. In the end, it was Jiuniang who came out of the horse before calling it out, Xiaojiu'er saw Jiuniang, his face was full of grievances and embarrassment, it stands to reason that the dog has no expression, and its shyness and grievances can be seen from its body language.

In the next few years, it slowly got better, and the craftsmanship of the lotus branch was exquisite, not only able to trim the hair of the little wine evenly, but also cut out a lot of appearances.

Like last year, the lotus branch cut Xiao Jiu'er a special look, the hair on the body was cut very short, only half an inch long, the hair on the head was still fluffy, that is, it was cut a little shorter, and the limbs and the end of the tail were cut into small hair balls, which looked novel and cute.

After listening to Jiu Niang's instructions, Lian Zhi became interested, and said to Jiu Niang: "Lady, anyway, the slaves and maids have nothing to do at this time, otherwise cut the wine so that it can be more comfortable." ”

Jiu Niang nodded.

Lianzhi squatted down, smoothed the long hair of Xiao Jiu'er, and said with a smile: "Jiujiu, cut off the hair, it won't be hot." ”

Xiao Jiu'er looked at her innocently, heard what shearing, hair, and remembered the word in her memory, and suddenly stood up and looked at the lotus branch vigilantly.

"It seems that our wine is also very eager to cut off the long hair, don't worry, Sister Lianzhi will arrange it." Lotus Branches went down and prepared for it.

Jiuniang pursed her lips and smiled, she didn't see that Xiao Jiu'er looked like she was looking forward to it, whether it was frightened or not.

At this time, Lian Fang hurriedly walked in.

"Lady, if the lady is here again, do you want to see her?"
