Chapter 27: New Year's Weather
A set of silver needles pierced down, one by one in Xie Erye's chest, Xie Erye's fingers moved a few times, and his lips squirmed slightly, as if there were signs of returning to his soul.
A room full of people was amazed and delighted.
"Great! The second master woke up. Mrs. Xie helped the frightened Mrs. Xie to sit down, and fine beads of sweat oozed from her own forehead.
Uncle Xie was also busy comforting his father, Old Lady Xie had been on the battlefield for a long time and had experienced many lives and deaths, but at this moment, his eyes were cloudy, and he breathed a sigh of relief and even his always stiff body was much stiffer.
"Don't be happy yet, the second master's breath must be hanged, and then fry two taels of snow ginseng." Meng Erniang was engrossed in applying the needle, and she couldn't care about the sweat on her temples.
"The snow and snow ginseng are gone." The maid replied timidly.
"How could it not be? Knowing that the second master wants to use it at any time, why don't you buy it in time? If you delay the second master's illness, I will let you accompany you! ”
The subordinate in charge of the medicinal materials knelt down and knocked his head loudly: "Madam Mingjian, the snow ginseng in the entire capital has been paid tribute to the palace, and the small one has run all over the medicine shops in the capital, but there is really no one." ”
Meng Erniang thought for a while: "The Queen Mother has been getting worse recently, and she is using snow ginseng to recuperate, what he said is true...... Since it is used by the Queen Mother, it is not easy to do, and it doesn't work even if I ask for the main book. ”
"Fetch my court clothes," said Old Lady Xie, "I want to enter the palace to face the saint." ”
"It's so late, how can the emperor see you? What do you think...... Today's saints are not the first emperors. ”
"Mother!" Even Uncle Xie was taken aback, what his mother said was very disrespectful.
The adults in the room were upset, but they heard a childish voice calling, "Second Sister Meng." ”
Qian Luojin's small body stood at the door.
"Luo Jin! Why did you kid come in, Mother Hu! ”
Knowing that the child's body would definitely not be taken seriously, Qian Luojin had no choice but to raise her voice and say, "Second Sister Meng, can you lend me the waist card you used to enter the palace, I will ask Xiuxi to find the sixth prince and definitely get snow ginseng." ”
"You kid, how old are the six princes, and besides, things are in the queen mother's place......"
"Uncle, as long as you can give the second uncle a little more life, why not let me try?"
This confidence is not like what a child should have, Mrs. Xie was also suppressed, and Mrs. Xie said: "Let her try, Ji Yan, you also go and invite Princess Jiayu into the palace." ”
Luo Jin handed the waist card to Xiuxi and told her: "Don't panic, find a few people to follow you, you may not be able to see the six princes, just look for the little eunuch Fu Li next to him." ”
Xiuxi took the waist card and nodded continuously, she was not very old, and the young lady gave her such an important task, so that she did not dare to live up.
At first, it seemed that Xiuxi was Xiuxi, and Fu Li did not dare to slack off, and personally led Xiuxi to meet the six princes. He didn't know why his master valued Miss Biao of the Zhenguo Mansion so much.
Mu Congjin rarely had the experience of being called out of bed in the middle of the night, and when he heard that it was the maid next to Luo Jin, he didn't feel strange in his heart, Qian Luojin was really not polite to arouse him.
Xiuxi will still be scared in the face of Mu Congjin, and he will talk about it hard, and I don't know if the six princes will agree, what if the six princes get angry? Xiuxi was nervous.
It's about the old lady of the Queen Mother, Mu Congjin held her forehead with her hand, and she had a headache. If it was for no reason, he would definitely not participate in this matter, but it was related to the life and death of Second Master Xie, if he didn't take it to heart, he was sure that Qian Luojin would be friends with him.
After thinking for a moment, Mu Congjin called: "Fu carp, change clothes." ”
In the middle of the night, the imperial doctor on duty in the Tai Hospital was sitting and dozing, and the six princes entered the Tai Hospital with a group of eunuchs and palace maids.
The three awakened imperial physicians on duty knelt down and saluted one after another: "Weichen see the six princes." ”
The sixth prince didn't say much, and said directly: "Take three snow ginseng." ”
The three imperial physicians looked at each other, and the imperial physician led by them hesitated for a moment and said, "Go back to the sixth prince...... The emperor decreed that these snow ginseng should be reserved for the queen mother's recuperation, and they could not be withdrawn from the palace. ”
"I will go and tell the imperial grandmother that I will not embarrass you."
The imperial doctor still knelt still, hesitating in his heart, no matter how the emperor's will was said, it was greater than that of the prince.
Mu Congjin shook the round little ingots on his gold-threaded shoes, and said lightly: "Or do you want me to ask my mother to tell you later in the middle of the night?" ”
The imperial doctor hurriedly leaned down: "Weichen doesn't dare." ”
It is rumored that the sixth prince has a withdrawn personality, and he only stayed in his palace when he was in the palace, and he didn't know why he suddenly came to the hospital today, or in the middle of the night.
After the six princes left, several imperial doctors breathed a sigh of relief, stood up again, and the imperial doctors led by him touched their foreheads, and a layer of cold sweat appeared. It is said that the six princes are not like the emperor at all, so they are not liked by the emperor, but looking at the young age, there is a majesty between the eyebrows, but it is a bit of the style of the first emperor.
Xiuxi was also thoughtful, and at the same time, he sent someone to the eldest princess's mansion while hurrying back, saving the eldest princess of Jiayu from running for nothing.
The family was all about the life and death of Second Master Xie, but no one thought much about it, as soon as Xiuxi came back, several maids carefully took the snow ginseng and took it to decoction.
Xie Erye took the snow ginseng, and his vitality really recovered a lot, although he hadn't woken up yet, he had already hummed a few times in his mouth.
"This breath is hung back, then it's fine, don't worry, old lady." Meng Erniang put down the medicine bowl and said to Mrs. Xie.
Mrs. Xie was so happy that she rewarded Xiuxi with two big silver ingots on the spot.
"If you want to say that the credit is the greatest, it has to be Miss Biao."
Qian Luojin was squeezing beside Xie Erye's bed to watch his even undulating breathing, the topic suddenly turned to her, her heart tightened, she wanted to be stupid and sweet for the rest of her life, she didn't want to have a sharp edge or something, and immediately revealed her usual stupid commercial expression: "There is merit and the credit of the sixth prince, he has always said that the second uncle is half of his master, if the second uncle has any difficulties, you must find him, I just remembered his words, grandmother, also reward the six princes with two big silver ingots, right?" ”
Old Taijun Xie sneered: "Silly boy, where will the six princes be short of silver ingots, and besides, you can't use the word 'reward', it has to be called 'tribute'." ”
Mrs. Xie was also teased: "Whether it's a child or not, I don't know whether to say that she is sensible or not, but I have the heart to ask for a thank you gift for the six princes, and it is not in vain that the six princes are kind to you." ”
"The Six Princes...... I really can't see that there is such a heavy emphasis on love and righteousness. ”
"It's the creation of the second master, and it's also the creation of our family."
successfully led the topic to Mu Congjin, Luo Jin breathed a sigh of relief, so she didn't care how Mu Congjin got out.
Although there was no danger this time, and the sin of being expelled from the house was avoided, Mrs. Xie still trained all the maids around Xie Erye, and would only blindly follow Xie Erye's nonsense, and he would go out when he said it on a snowy day?
Qian Luojin lay on the side of Xie Erye's bed like a meat ball: "How old is the second uncle, and he is still taught by his grandmother, ashamed~"
In front of his niece, Second Master Xie really didn't have any temper at all.
"Being laughed at by you, the second uncle is really ashamed."
In order to make Xie Erye recover as soon as possible, the Zhenguo Mansion invited the Dongliu Dao chief of Sanqingguan to pray for Xie Erye.
The little Taoist boy swaggered into the Zhenguo Mansion in the gossip clothes of the Lord, there is no way, who makes the family tall, even if he cultivates, he has to fight his parents.
As the master of the Sanqing Temple, Dongliu naturally occupies a place in the circle of noblewomen in the superstitious capital, and no matter how prominent his family background is, he must be respectful and respectful.
Luo Jin was always a little vain when he saw Dongliu, and it was always quite ashamed to bribe immortal cultivators, although the other party accepted it shamelessly.
Not long after Dongliu entered the Sanqingguan, he had already learned all the rituals, how could he be careless about the issue of income, and the biggest financial source of the Sanqingguan was the money offered by these nobles for the rituals.
Second Master Xie is a rare materialist in ancient times, but for the sake of Mrs. Xie's peace of mind, he is still very cooperative.
When no one was paying attention, Dongliu stretched out his hand to Qian Luojin and compared it to a five.
"Huh?" Qian Luojin's face was confused.
"The fifty taels you owe me should be repaid."
Luo Jin remembered that the last time Wei Guogong went to the funeral, Dongliu once said that a drop of talisman water is fifty taels, this is not fair, why is it free for others, just ask for money!
The innocent face of the eastward meat: "Only you have a handle in my hands." ”
Luo Jin pulled the handkerchief and said to Xiuxi, "Go back to my house and get fifty taels of silver." She succumbed, although she was the first in the county in Weiling, in the capital, the Luo Jin strong dragon could not suppress the head snake.
Under Meng Erniang's careful care, Xie Erye's condition was stable, and by the eve of the Spring Festival, he was almost better, and the Zhenguo Mansion was finally able to have a stable year.
A few days before the festival, Luo Jin wrote a letter to Mr. Qian and Mrs. Qian who were far away in Weiling to write a letter of greetings, in fact, she had a good time in the capital, but the letter kept pouring out her thoughts about the second elder in the family.
During the Spring Festival this year, according to Mrs. Xie's intentions, she will make a big deal and rejoice for Xie Erye.
The entire Zhenguo Mansion was repainted, and even the streets near the mansion were covered with red lanterns. A few new pigs were brought into the kitchen for backup, which made Xie Yanyuan very happy, and he could be regarded as having found a new opponent.
Xie Menghua already looked like half a hostess, helping Mrs. Xie to command her subordinates to sprinkle and sweep, while Xie Mengyao personally embroidered a new purse for Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Xie.
Qian Luojin, who had no talent, thought that Xie Mengxi would accompany her, but she didn't expect Xie Mengxi to also have a skill, and she and Xie Erye wrote Spring Festival couplets together. Among the children, only Luo Jin has nothing to do, although Xie Yanyuan is only busy competing with the new pigs, so he has a goal.
The bored Luo Jin missed Mu Congjin, but Mu Congjin didn't know what he was busy with in the palace, and he hadn't come to the Zhenguo Mansion recently.
An emperor has so many sons, Mu Congjin must also take advantage of the festival to show his favor, Luo Jin can understand...... But Mu Congjin was annoyed and sent Hua Yiwen to pester her, what was the matter?
Since he learned backgammon from Mu Congjin, Hua Yiwen has been addicted, but Mu Congjin has not been idle recently, and no one else can play this kind of chess, so Hua Yiwen had to come to Luo Jin.
"Big niece, come and play chess with your cousin."
Whenever Hua Yiwen spoke like this, Qian Luojin had an urge to roll two snowballs from the snow to paste Hua Yiwen's face.
If Mu Congjin is here, there must be a way to get rid of all the pestering bear children, Qian Luojin thought to herself.
Dependence has taken such deep roots before you know it.
Mu Congjin is very face-saving, and he gave things to the children of the Zhenguo Mansion during the festival, and what he gave to others was ordinary gold and silver things, only the one who was rewarded to Qian Luojin was a living thing.
Mu Congjin rewarded Luo Jin with a sweaty horse that was paid tribute by foreign Yi, because Mu Congjin's recent homework schedule was good, the emperor rewarded Mu Congjin as soon as he was happy, Mu Congjin felt on the spot that such a good thing must be given to Luo Jin also a long insight, and immediately sent someone to lead it to the Zhenguo Mansion.
Luo Jin laughed when she saw this "BMW", the divine beast, the divine beast, sure enough, everywhere he goes, he pulls the wind, but the alpaca is clearly a sheep, how can he say that people are horses.
Luo Jin hugged the alpaca's neck and didn't let go: "I'm laughing to death, there are really a lot of rare things in your palace." ”
"The people in the palace don't know how to raise them, I think it's better to give it to you, you know better than them."
The two of them looked at the alpaca grazing proudly, and both had a very meaningful smile on their faces.
Xiuxi and Fu Carp are stupid, how can two ancient people not understand what is so funny about a sweaty BMW? Although this horse looks strange, it doesn't make it funny, right?
Fu Li whispered to Xiuxi: "I grew up serving the Sixth Highness since I was a child, why does your young lady seem to know the Sixth Highness better than me?" ”
Xiuxi was also confused: "I'm not the same, I also grew up serving my young lady, I can't understand what the young lady is laughing at!" ”
Luo Jin named the alpaca Han Meimei, and complained to Mu Congjin: "Waiyi is also stingy enough, how can you send one if you send an animal?" There is only one Li Lei to match it. ”
"If people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, you will give you only Li Lei, and you will say less Jim."
Luo Jin stuck out her tongue and touched the soft and heavy curls of the alpaca with satisfaction.
Luo Jin didn't know how difficult it was for Mu Congjin to get this alpaca, the princes in the palace were not only pampered, especially when the emperor recently exposed his gradual weakness, and the princes were like being beaten with chicken blood.
Of course, Mu Congjin had no intention of seizing the heir, he wanted to fool him until he grew up to be the king, but Mu Congjin and his own brother and the third prince quit, and the emperor was very biased and the second prince was very biased, which put a lot of pressure on the third prince, and he had to have a right-hand man to help him share it.
During that time, the third prince personally supervised Mu Congjin's homework every day, so Mu Congjin couldn't even fool around when he came to the Zhenguo Mansion.
"I'm tired and want to sleep." Mu Congjin said suddenly.
"Ah, I'll ask someone to clean up the guest room for you......"
"No, just go to your house."
Luo Jin joked: "Fortunately, I'm young now, if I'm older, you'll be a hooligan like this." ”
Xiuxi cleverly ran back to report the news, and heard that the six princes were coming to take a nap, and the maids and women in Luojin's house were panicked, but Hu's mother was very old and able to calm down, and pointed out the way to the little maids: "Hancui, you hurry up and come out with a new quilt, you prepare melons and fruits and snacks, fortunately, you wipe all the tables and chairs in the house." ”
In fact, Mu Congjin didn't bother to pay attention to whether there was ash on the table, Fu Li waited for him to take off his shoes, and without saying a word, he fell asleep on the bed.
reciprocated the favor and accepted Mu Congjin's gift, Luo Jin also showed the sincerity of hospitality and gave Mu Congjin his favorite sleep aid spices.
"This smell, I smell sleepy."
Luo Jin walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, and looked at Mu Congjin's sleeping face carefully, his body was only eight years old, and he was Zhengtai in modern times, and he looked cute.
Luo Jin dispelled the lustful (harmonious) evil thoughts in her heart, and found that Mu Congjin had a few wrinkles on her small forehead, and she gently pressed it down with her hand to ease his brows.
I suddenly remembered the gossip I heard the adults talk about a few days ago, when she lay on Mrs. Xie's lap and pretended to be asleep, and listened to her and Princess Jiayu talk about something terrible.
"The second master of the Weiguo Mansion has not made an inch, and he has not even been to the military camp, so he has been made a marquis, and the emperor is too chaotic."
"The emperor is looking at Concubine Li's face, and it's hard to buy a concubine smile, but this face is too big."
"Isn't it to build momentum for the second prince to succeed to the throne? The second prince is a concubine, and he always suffers a loss, so he has to make up for it with his mother's illustrious family. ”
"Hmph, this Li Guifei is also spoiled and there is no one in her eyes, even the prince of the queen's concubine she also calculates, otherwise why do I always let Congjin come to you to hide, since she has that mind, the prince in the palace has died a lot, I only tell you, she recruited the palace maids who poisoned Congjin, and the emperor actually protected her, and there is still such a father in the world?"
"Hey, it's difficult for the queen's mother, but fortunately, he still has your aunt."
……
Poisoning, this is a word that worries about life, Qian Luojin pays more attention to food safety in modern times, whether she is in her early twenties or now she is six years old, death and her are incompatible, what would it be like to be poisoned? Qian Luojin felt a chill down her spine just thinking about it.
It turned out that Mu Congjin was not only fragrant and spicy in the palace, but now Luo Jin does not envy Mu Congjin for crossing into the royal family, nor does she envy Mu Congjin for being a man, she now pities him.
Mu Congjin's expression turned over uncomfortably, and Luo Jin subconsciously patted his body gently with his hand, patting it again and again, making Mu Congjin more and more relaxed.
"Sleep, sleep, my dear darling......" Luo Jin hummed softly. Wait a minute! What is she doing! Is this the so-called flood of maternal love!
