Chapter 3: The Hanging Blade

On summer nights, the heat accumulated during the day has not completely dissipated, and the weather is suffocating, which makes people sweat at every turn, and they can't help but feel irritable.

The sweaty maids on the porch opened the door of the house, and with the rotation of the wind wheel inside, the refreshing cool air in the room hit Su Mu at the door, she took a deep breath, raised her feet and walked inside.

Su Wan'er was crooked on the bamboo beauty couch with her eyes closed, a woman in gorgeous clothes sat at the end of the couch, beating her legs carelessly, and said flattering words in her mouth, and pouted when she saw Su Mushu come in, and said nonchalantly: "Why are you here!" My aunt and grandmother are tired and resting. If there's nothing to do, just step down. ”

The woman who spoke, Xu Shi, was Su Wan'er's cousin-in-law, and Su Musha should call her "cousin" in terms of seniority.

should be attributed, but since Xu pointed at the tip of her nose half a year ago and scolded her for being a "stinky girl, cheap hoof", Su Musha has never looked at her seriously. She saluted Su Wan'er without squinting, and then raised her voice and said, "Helper, I have something important to report." ”

"You girl......"

Xu Shi involuntarily raised his voice, covered his mouth suddenly, and lowered his voice angrily and reprimanded: "Didn't you say, my aunt and grandmother are resting, ...... you?"

"What's the matter with you! Shut up! Su Musha snorted.

"You!"

"Cousin-in-law."

Su Wan'er's faint voice was louder than thunder in Xu's ears, she hurriedly smiled and said softly: "Noisy sister resting, I often tell Da Lang that my sister is in charge of such a gang and has to take care of the house's chores, it's too hard, I really hate to share my sister's worries, it's just that I'm a woman in the house, and I don't have much knowledge......"

"Cousin-in-law, let's go back first."

Su Wan'er interrupted her tirade and waved her hand casually. The eldest maid Feifeng hurriedly came to the couch and led the rest of the maids to "send" her uncle's wife out.

Although Su Wan'er withdrew from everyone, her expression was cold and indifferent, and she was even gloomy for no reason: "What a big deal, I can't wait for a while." ”

Su Musha knew that her aunt would never hide her dislike for herself. She was still aggrieved and sad in her early years, but in recent years, she has become numb: "Auntie, why does fairy water have the same aroma as Xiaoxiaosan?" Could it be that the fairy water is actually ......" She stopped her mouth and swallowed the second half of the sentence.

After Su Wan'er heard this question, her expression changed, and after a while, she sneered and said, "If I knew, I wouldn't need to send boxes of silver to Yongjing!" ”

Silver? Yongjing?

Su Mu froze in place, speechless for a while.

No wonder Su Musha was very surprised, as soon as she smelled the smell of fairy water, she had a bad guess, but she was afraid that the owner behind the fairy water was the Xiaoxiao Gang, but she was afraid that Su Wan'er would abuse the formula left by her mother to produce such a thing that lost her conscience.

Regarding his mother's legacy, Su Mu couldn't care about anything else, and decided to use the advantage of his Chadian news to test Su Wan'er's attitude. She had imagined Su Wan'er's various reactions, but she didn't expect her to say this.

"I knew soon after the Immortal Water was launched that this thing has nothing to do with Xiaoxiaosan," Su Wan'er said expressionlessly, "I've been tracking down all these years, who is buying Xiaoxiaoshan in large quantities...... If there is no result within half a year, I am afraid that the imperial court will implement a ban on drugs. ”

"Prohibition of drugs?"

Su Musha caught this statement and asked suspiciously. I've only heard of the "water ban", what does the drug ban mean?

Su Wan'er moved the corners of her mouth slightly: "The water ban is a decree banning fairy water, which has been promulgated for two or three years, and the drug ban is a decree advocating the ban on laughing and laughing, but a few old stubborns are shouting all day long, and the emperor has not officially approved it," she snorted lightly, "Those old stubborns think that this is a salary draw from the bottom of the kettle, but they don't know that this is simply due to choking." ”

"The few adults I can rely on can only do their best, but once Xiaoxiao is banned, the Xiaoxiao Gang will be cleared by the imperial court. Fortunately, I have some clues now," Su Wan'er sneered, "If you want to play tricks behind my back, you have to weigh it first, can you bear the consequences?"

Su Mu was at a loss in her heart, she didn't know the causes and consequences, she didn't know that the Xiaoxiao Gang was facing such a big crisis, and a sharp blade hung above her head, which could fall at any time.

Su Wan'er seemed to see through her thoughts: "You don't have to think nonsense, just take care of the Holy Lingzhi." I won't hide it from you, it takes a lot of money to get up and down, and the income of the Holy Lingzhi is closely related to the flow of money in the help. ”

It turns out that the silver money in exchange for the Holy Lingzhi has flowed to Yongjing and to the pockets of those courtiers who can speak, is this the reason why the Holy Lingzhi is more expensive than a year?

Su Mushi was noncommittal, but when he heard Su Wan'er's tone, there was actually a little more soothing: "I know that you have a problem in your heart because of what happened when you were a child." But no matter how you mess with me, you will have to bear it sooner or later. This foundation was laid by me and Qianqian, and when Qianqian is gone, I can only rely on you to keep her hard work. ”

Su Musha's eyes were hot when he heard this, and his aunt rarely talked about his mother in such a memorable tone in front of him, often avoiding it, and he would get angry if he asked too much, so Su Musha no longer looked into Su Qian's bits and pieces head-on a few years ago, but used fragmentary clues to pick and shrink and accumulate some information related to her mother's parents.

My mother is good at making medicine.

My mother loves to travel everywhere.

Occasionally, my mother will make some harmless poison and refine some harmless Gu for humans and animals.

……

Compared to other daughters, she knows too little about her mother.

Su Wan'er expressed her invitation, but she didn't expect that instead of getting a very moving response from Su Musha, she fell into a stunned contemplation. A trace of dissatisfaction flashed in her eyes, and then she disappeared and said, "I had already intended for you to preside over this year's bidding ceremony for the Holy Lingzhi, so I can get some help," she stared deeply at Su Mu's face and said, "I don't know that you have grown so tall......"

Su Musha came back to her senses, and couldn't help but be enthusiastic about Su Wan'er's promise of "hosting bidding" and "helping with hands", and she couldn't help but hear Su Wan'er keep asking her about buying fairy water, which showed that she was very concerned about it.

"Take down the gang before they change their location or are cleared by the government. Although these small fish and shrimp can't get in touch with any important information, it is beneficial and harmless to torture them," Su Wan'er said and stroked the top of Su Musha's head, and said approvingly, "You have made a great contribution this time, and your maid should also be rewarded." ”

Hearing this, Su Musha took the opportunity to ask, "Auntie, I wonder if the Holy Lingzhi can cure the addiction to fairy water?" ”

Su Wan'er's eyes sank: "It's not easy to cultivate the Holy Lingzhi, it's not enough to sell it every year, how can you do such idle things," she snorted lightly, "Relieve addiction?" If you don't drink it, you won't be addicted. ”

Su Mu said a casual "um", disapprovingly: it seems that there is no way to get the Holy Lingzhi by legitimate means, alas, I have to "die" one more young plant.

Su Wan'er asked a few more questions about the situation of the Holy Lingzhi, and before she knew it, it was late at night, so she urged Su Musha to go back to rest, and promised that there would be news to inform her.

"Auntie used to hide these things from you, and that's because she thought you were still young and couldn't help it. But now that you've found out, there's no reason to keep you in the dark again. Su Wan'er seemed to see through her uneasiness, and smiled and said with relief.

Su Musha left Su Wan'er's residence, walked back to his small courtyard, and suddenly stopped and looked at the sky: "The sky has changed...... It would be nice to have a rain. ”

"Miss! Miss! ”

Before Su Musha entered the courtyard gate, he saw Chuncao rushing over unsteadily, and said with a frightened face: "Uncle and Mrs. Embroidery Sister...... Aunt Hua is here, and now she is letting her mother-in-law smash your study! ”
