013 Suspicions
Rong'er sat down next to her father and asked Yuqin to hand the tea to Xue Ju.
"Miss Wenrong can make flower tea. Today we have the blessing to drink your newly made flower tea. Jiang Mingyuan hurriedly complimented.
"Whether it's good or not, you have to eat it to know." Ying Qingyuan said with a smile.
Xue Ju brewed the tea, and the three guests tasted it and praised it endlessly.
This tea is indeed a bit refreshing.
Ying Qingyuan's and his wife's faces lit up, but they said implicitly, "Barely entered."
Rong'er took a sip and felt that in addition to the fragrance of flowers, nothing else was good, and she didn't feel that her skills in making flower tea were very good as before.
After eating tea, Xia Zhongzheng said that he wanted to go to the toilet, and Jiang Mingyuan was also going, so Ying Yun hurriedly accompanied him to lead the way.
Xia Zhikang stayed and continued to eat tea and talk to everyone.
Ying Qingyuan and his wife were chatting with him carefully.
In fact, Ying Qingyuan and Xia Ji met every morning on weekdays, and occasionally everyone got together after the court, and most of each other's family affairs were known.
said that it would be homely, Xia Zhikang suddenly mentioned last night's incident, "I heard that when it was almost the second watch last night, a thunderbolt suddenly sounded on a sunny day, and someone saw it from a distance, saying that a very long-lasting purple light thunderbolt was over the south of the city. I slept heavily last night, and I didn't know about it, I wonder if the thunder and lightning scared you last night? β
Rong'er secretly paid, there was a thunderbolt last night? It must have been before she woke up, right?
I saw my father smile and replied, "Rong'er fell into a coma again last night, and she didn't wake up until the second watch." We were all in her room, and we heard a thunderclap in the air, but we didn't know where it was. β
Xia Zhikang looked at the pink Rong'er. I couldn't help but love it in my heart, and asked with concern, "Sister Rong's illness won't recur, right?" β
Ying Qingyuan said with a smile: "Doctor You said that there was still residual blood stasis in her body last night. I did acupuncture for her, and I prescribed a blood-invigorating medicine, saying that if I took it for two more days to adjust and adjust, it would be fine. β
"This Doctor You is really a miracle doctor. Sister Rong has been in a coma for so many days and has not woken up, and the doctor can't come to see her. As soon as he came, he saved his sister. It's a blessing for my sister. Xia Zhikang looked at Rong'er with emotion.
"I want you to say good things." Gu smiled and personally filled him with a cup of tea.
Xia Zhikang glanced at Rong'er while drinking tea, she didn't talk much, just drank tea quietly, wearing this pink and blue dress, she looked beautiful and elegant. Because of the proximity, I could faintly smell the faint fragrance emanating from her body. The blown-up snow skin makes you want to touch it gently. It's just that it will be two years before she is ready.
His hot eyes made Rong'er uncomfortable. Ying Qingyuan and his wife were not disgusted. After all, Xia Zhikang has already been crowned, and it is normal for him to like his fiancΓ©e so much, I am afraid that he does not like his daughter enough.
Xia Zhongzheng and they are back.
The topic changed, and Ying Qingyuan greeted Jiang Mingyuan's family. It's not good to ask Xia Zhongzheng much, just think that he is a distant guest of the Jiang family, pretend to be polite, keep inviting tea, and don't ask about his family.
After sitting for a while, Jiang Mingyuan offered to say goodbye. Ying Qingyuan and his son sent them out of the gate.
"Mother Wan. You can ask someone to bring out the gifts that the eldest prince will go out of. Seeing the guests walking away, Gu hurriedly returned to the hall to arrange the next matter.
Rong'er was stunned on the front steps. The thunderbolt in the middle of the night last night that Xia Zhikang mentioned just now-
Beyond the usual intuition, this thunderbolt has something to do with her. And Xia Zhongzheng's visit should be related to this matter.
Turning into the hall, the mother sat in the chair at the top, looking at her figure, with uncontrollable affection and a smile on her face.
"Mother. Just now Xia Zhikang said that it was a thunderbolt on a sunny day last night, you really don't know? Rong'er asked in a whisper beside her.
Gu Shi took her hand and whispered, "You were sick at the time, we were in your house, how did you know about this?" β
Oh, yes. At that time, my father and mother must have been in the living room of Xinxiangyuan. And during the second watch, people slept soundly, and I am afraid that few people in the entire capital will see it, and all they know is what happened after the thunderbolt sounded.
The two mothers-in-law brought in a salute blue, and tied red silk flowers around it.
Gu Shi checked it, nodded, and muttered, "It's not good enough to give jewelry to your in-laws." None of them are people who are short of money. It is always the exchange of gold and silver treasures, but it is divided. These souvenirs were delivered by the people in Zhuangzi yesterday. Send some fresh food, and each other seems not so formal. β
Ying Qingyuan's father and son returned.
"It's not time. Yun'er go to Xu's house quickly. Ying Qingyuan is not a procrastinator, and when he saw that the gift was ready, he urged his son to go out quickly.
Ying Yun brought four male servants in Tsing Yi, two carrying gifts, one leading the horse, and the other holding the sticker, and hurried to Xicheng.
As soon as he left, Ying Qingyuan sat down, stared outside and meditated for a moment without speaking.
Gu said: "I didn't expect the Jiang family to come to visit, and I brought a relative out to play." That Zhong Liangzheng looks like an instrument talent. At this age, I must have been married. β
Ying Qingyuan retracted his eyes, and his expression was solemn and severed Mrs. 's words, "People just come to play with Kang." Don't go that far. β
Rong'er looked at her father with a strange feeling, her father should know about the thunderbolt last night, and he should have guessed the intention of Xia Zhongzheng's sudden arrival.
What's so strange about thunder in the clear sky?
The seven-star Vermilion Bird flashed in front of him, could it be that the thunder and lightning were very weird? If it is a vision, it will definitely alarm the emperor, so the prince came out and waited for an opportunity to investigate?
At this moment, the steward among the male servants came in from the back steps and whispered in Ying Qingyuan's ear for a while.
Ying Qingyuan's eyes widened and looked at Rong'er, "You come to the study with me!" With that, he walked towards the atrium.
Gu Shi was startled and looked at Rong'er, somehow.
Rong'er glanced at Yuqin and Xin's mother outside, and followed her father casually, at most, someone complained, and she sent someone to investigate.
Seeing that this was wrong, Gu Shi followed out, and went to the door to take a look at Yuqin and Xin's mother, it was not easy to ask.
Yuqin and Wan's mother glanced at each other, lowered their heads and followed behind.
The study is on the east side of the atrium.
"Yuqin, you go and call me all the Yuxiang!" Ying Qingyuan was in the small hall of the study, without asking her daughter first, and asked Yuqin to find someone first.
"What's wrong?" Gu Shi felt a little nervous, looked at her husband, and then at her daughter.
Rong'er stood handsomely to the side, put her hands on her hands, pursed her mouth, shook her body a few times, looked at her father with a slight smile, and did not speak.
Ying Qingyuan glared at her, but still didn't ask.
Gu Shi looked at this and that, couldn't touch the soul, sat on the back chair above, and only watched.
There was silence in the room. Rong'er wasn't nervous at all. One hand stroked the long hair that ran down his shoulder, walked up to his father, and looked at him coquettishly.
Ying Qingyuan's face softened slightly, and he looked at her with disgust, "Ghost girl." You're better than your mother. β
Gu Shi listened to the tone without reproach, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and asked carefully, "What the hell is wrong?" β
Ying Qingyuan looked at her and didn't speak.
Soon, Yuqin came in with Yuxiang and stood in a row with her head down.
"Yuxiang. Say it. Something was found in the West Garden, behind the Dong'an Courtyard, and in the Lotus Courtyard. Ying Qingyuan's face returned to normal.
Rong'er guessed the probable situation and instructed the maidservants, "You all tell the truth." Say what you see and say it, don't talk nonsense if you don't see it. β
Yuxiang looked at Rong'er a few times.
Rong'er called her name, "Yuxiang, you speak first." β
Yuxiang whispered, "After lunch, the third lady said to let me get some very tender lotus leaves, and make some fresh lotus tea in the afternoon, so I went to the lotus courtyard in the big garden with Mother Liu." At this time, the extremely tender lotus leaves are not easy to get, so I slowly look for them by the pond. After looking for a long time to pick a few young leaves, sitting in the lotus fragrance pavilion to rest, suddenly saw I don't know whether it was a servant of the Jiang family or the Xia family who came out of the boulevard between the guest house and the Dong'an courtyard, as if he was lost, just about to enter the big flower courtyard, he stood at Langkou for a while, and the wind came from the corridor of the guest house and asked him if he was lost? He said that he really couldn't find the direction, so he went to the back yard to go to the thatched house, and saw that the flowers and trees behind him were good-looking. Laifeng led him back to the guest house. β
Previously, the servants of the Jiang family and the Xia family arranged to eat in the living room of the guest house, drink tea and wait for the master.
The thatched house used by the guests is behind the guest house, and there is a thatched hut next to the stable for the use of the subordinates. The guest house is at the front end, and the guests go up to the thatched house and return to the living room of the guest house, how can they get lost, how can they get into the back flower courtyard?
Rong'er completely understood what was going on. And the name of Yulu, "Yulu." What about you? β
Yuqin said that the flowers in the house should be changed. said that at this time, the Wenxin orchid in the West Garden bloomed, and asked me to go there to pick a beautiful plant and transplant it into a flower pot for decoration. I picked there for a long time, and I couldn't choose a good-looking ......" Yulu was a little nervous, hiding her hands in her sleeves and tugging at the clothes.
"Some people say you've been standing in the flowers and trees of the West Garden for a long time. Don't talk about choosing flowers. Just say what you found there. Ying Qingyuan asked directly.
Yu Lu glanced at Rong'er and bit her lip.
Rong'er encouraged her, "Whether it's something inside or outside the house, just say it." β
