Chapter One Hundred and One

"How much do you know about pharmacology?" Shi Manman interrupted the boring contest and took a bag of things from his sleeve. The outside was wrapped in an embroidered handkerchief, and the white embroidered handkerchief was dyed dark brown by the contents of the interior, and a few stains were left on the cuffs of the stone vines.

An Ge looked at Shi Manman with a smile and said, "Take it." "He is not naïve and just wants to go against Shi Manman, Shi Manman has something to ask him for, and it is not bad for him.

Shi Manman untied the embroidered handkerchief in front of An Ge, and the pitch-black medicine residue was also stained with some mud, and it was impossible to distinguish the original appearance without this mud in time.

This medicine residue was taken by Xiao Jin in the courtyard, and when Shi Manman entered the courtyard, he happened to see Huan Yan, who had finished boiling the medicine, quietly buried the remaining medicine residue into the flower garden, and his expression was vigilant to make Shi Manman pay attention. After Huanyan buried the things and left, Shi Manman dug up the medicine residue and filled it with an embroidered handkerchief.

An Ge stretched out his hand, twisted some medicine residue and put it under his nose and sniffed it, rubbing his two fingers together, and the medicine residue crumbled into powder between his fingers. Then he pushed Shi Manman's hand away, leaned back to the side of the bed and closed his eyes.

Shi Manman looked at An Ge's appearance and didn't know what the other party meant, and in the next moment, An Ge opened his eyes and said to Shi Manman: "Miss Xiao's body has always been very weak. ”

"Hmm." Shi Manman snorted, waiting for An Ge to continue.

"These dregs are indeed medicines that replenish qi peiyuan, but if these medicines have not been treated." An Ge pointed to an inconspicuous mung bean-sized circle in the medicine residue and continued: "This is a snake worrying, and there are prescriptions for almost all the drugs that repel snake venom, but because it looks similar to mung beans, people who have not studied snake venom are easy to get confused. ”

"Has this medicine been treated? Someone wants to kill Xiao Jin? "Shi Manman's head was suddenly not enough.

An Ge shook his head and continued: "These medicinal herbs have been soaked in a kind of snake saliva to relieve snake venom, but even if some snake venom is not poisonous, it can still leave other effects. For example, it makes people look very weak, but it doesn't do any harm to the body. Miss Xiao is really a wonderful person. ”

After speaking, An Ge seemed to hook the corners of his mouth very happily, and when he mentioned Xiao Jin, his eyes were full of interest.

At this time, Shi Manman remembered that Xiao Lei had mentioned to her that when he was young, he accidentally fell into the water due to playfulness, and it was Xiao Jin who left the root of the disease after sacrificing herself to save him, and until now, many years later, she still needs to take medicine every day to be more energetic.

When exactly did Xiao Jin start drinking this medicine......

"Thank you." After the pensive Shi Manman dropped two words, he walked out of the room without looking back, leaving An Ge looking at Shi Manman's face with a mocking expression, until Shi Manman disappeared from her sight, and the expression of the Yin Owl appeared in his eyes again.

……

The wind after the winter is more fierce than the gentle autumn wind, Shi Manman is Yalian's first master, she doesn't know what the other masters look like, but after hearing and seeing, she realizes how good Shi Manman is to serve the master.

Today, the wind outside is somehow, and it's blowing desperately. And Shi Manman didn't know where to go after sending her and Yun Bi away, looking at Yun Bi's appearance, he seemed to want to take a look. But where Yalian will do what she wants, she will naturally follow Yunbi wherever she goes.

Yun Bi was anxious, anyway, she had nothing to do as a big girl in the cold weather, so she simply went back to the back room to make winter boots, Xiao Lei's winter boots in previous years were made by her with a stitch and a thread. Just waiting for the time when the son comes back, he can drive out two pairs.

Yalian sneered and watched Yun Bi shake off the heavy curtain, then directly moved a small chair and sat outside the door to bask in the sun, and called a few little maids to grab some melons and fruits to chat.

When Shi Manman returned to the courtyard, she saw Yalian and a group of little girls whispering timidly, she was at a distance from a few people, but her extraordinary ear power still heard what Yalian was really saying.

"Have you heard, Xiang'er, the sprinkler maid in Grandmother Xiao's courtyard, is Sun Niang's cousin niece, and the idle position was originally said to be for the moon slave, but I didn't expect Xiang'er to go to Sun Niang, and the moon slave could only get the job of cleaning the courtyard." Yalian swore as if she had seen it with her own eyes.

One of the maids seemed to be friends with the moon slave in Yalian's mouth, and when she heard about this reason, she couldn't help but cry out for her friend.

Yalian was still unsatisfied, grabbed a handful of melon seeds and put them in the palm of her hand, and when she wanted to continue, she subconsciously glanced around, and just saw Shi Manman standing not far away looking at them with interest. "Auntie...... Girl. Yalian immediately stood up and pulled two little girls who didn't react.

A few people turned around and saw the stone vines, and their faces were immediately colorless. You must know that they have only been in the mansion for a few months, and although they have not had much contact with Shi Manman, she is a well-known future young lady. At this moment, those girls peeked at Shi Manman's expression in trepidation, but they humbly lowered their heads and did not dare to look directly at Shi Man.

In fact, Shi Manman was not disgusted by their behavior, but reminded her of the Ben birds that often gathered together in Kunlun. Yalian hadn't done this once or twice, and she only opened her eyes and didn't ask.

"Yalian, come to my room." Shi Manman's tone was flat and he couldn't hear the emotion, but it was such a calm that made those little maids even more worried. Yalian was relieved, after all, she had been with Shi Manman for a long time, and most of them didn't take it to heart when she saw her tone like this. After giving a few little maids a reassuring look, she followed Shi Manman into her room.

After Yalian entered the house, she closed the door intimately. After lighting the charcoal fire for the stone vines, he took the shoulder hanging screen that the stone vines had untied.

Shi Manman watched Yalian do everything skillfully, she sat on the soft chair and tapped the tea table with her knuckles, as if thinking about something.

The seeds of suspicion about Xiao Jin have been planted in her heart, but she is not from the Xiao family, and Xiao Lei is not in the house. She couldn't do anything on her own, even the simplest investigation of Xiao Jin's past didn't know where to start.

With such a heart, it wasn't until I returned to the courtyard that I saw Yalian, who was gossiping with a group of little maids again. Because Yalian is Shi Manman's maid, some of the rules of the Xiao family have no effect on her for the time being, of course, if Shi Manman marries into the Xiao family, it will be another matter.

And Shi Manman didn't like to let Yalian and Yunbi follow him all day long, as if he was being watched. Therefore, Yalian is different from the big girls around the other Xiao family masters, she has a lot of time to "walk the streets and alleys", and there are many people in the Xiao family, so she can always know some news about the Xiao family. For example, what kind of beauty soup did Liu Yemei make with lotus flowers today, and Grandmother Xiao reprimanded that subordinate again.

Therefore, Shi Manman thought of asking Yalian to inquire about everything about Xiao Jin, and sometimes the most important thing was often the clues found in these seemingly boring after-dinner conversations.

But is Yarlian credible? The arrogant contempt for Shi Manman at the beginning, as well as the small actions that couldn't be on the stage, were all done by her.
