Chapter 12: Vitality
The old slave didn't dare to say this, and it could only be said that only the parties concerned knew the merits. Le-Wen: "Some things are just what she says. Now from top to bottom, everyone has regarded Meng Guifei as a legend among women, and Queen Ma and the two concubines who laid this legend, if it is not the same as the rumor, then who will believe the legend of Meng Guifei. So without full evidence, without strong power, how can you resist public opinion from the top down?
Some things are not what you say, and what is right is not necessarily right. Mama Zhou calmed down for a moment and continued: "Later, the legendary things of the world did not experience the grandmother-in-law, because the grandmother-in-law was later sent out of the palace in advance by Concubine Li's intercession. Before leaving, he warned his mother-in-law to change her name and surname, pay attention to her whereabouts, and never have anything to do with the palace.
My aunt and grandmother were frightened all her life, so she didn't get married, and she was lonely all her life. The grandmother-in-law also asked someone to find the family when she was about to die, and the grandmother-in-law took pity on her, and the two got along very well.
It's a pity that the sons born to the grandmother are not angry, the grandmother is sad every day, and the old slave's mother is the grandmother's niece, maybe because people are getting older and more want to have a sustenance, and the little girl also has a lot of love, the mother was at that time to get the pity of the grandmother, and later the grandmother passed away before the mother promised to the youngest great-grandson.
Before leaving, the grandmother was sometimes sober and sometimes confused, and when she was confused, she babbled about what her grandmother said, and when she was sober, everyone swore that no one from the Zhou family would be allowed to enter the palace again. But everyone was busy earning those meager possessions at that time, so how could they bother to listen to anything else.
Only my mother was grateful for the pity of her grandmother-in-law, and she remembered her grandmother's words one by one.
Later, my grandmother's house didn't get much because of her young age, but fortunately, she could take care of food and clothing. Maybe it's really a sign of great decline that the family is divided, and within a few years, the houses gradually reached a situation where they couldn't eat, so they were in a vicious circle, and they were splitting up. My father was a cowardly man, and my mother was a small man, so she only got two futons, a straw mat, a stool, and a vase. That is, the old slave family of this vase has undergone earth-shaking changes, to be precise, an unprecedented disaster. ”
Mama Zhou's eyes were full of grief when she said this, so she stopped.
"Mama, are you alright?" Liu couldn't help but ask.
Mama Zhou slowed down and said, "I'm fine." ”
Seeing that Mama Zhou's face was indeed better, Liu asked again, "Is there anything wrong with that vase?" ”
Mama Zhou continued: "The vase itself is fine, the problem is the contents of the vase. The vase could not be eaten or used, it was too small, and the vase was indeed too ordinary for anyone to sell. If the family is good, the vase can't be their own turn, but there is nothing to divide, and the first few rooms will fill the vase. If it weren't for the younger brother who beat a vase when he was naughty, maybe not so many things would have happened later, and the old slave would not have entered the palace. ”
Liu is also more puzzled about the contents of this vase, before Mama Zhou said that her grandmother ordered her subordinates to swear not to enter the palace before she died, and Mama Zhou's mother has always respected Mama Zhou's grandmother, why did Mama Zhou finally enter the palace? Liu wanted to ask again, but saw Mama Zhou closing her eyes.
After a while, Mama Zhou said: "The old slave knows that Madame is curious, but the old slave can't say anything." It's a disaster to keep talking, and the old slave can't be sorry for his wife, and he can't be sorry for your mother. ”
"But ......," Ryu was still talking, wondering what was in that vase?
Mama Zhou's words made Liu's body chill, "The old slave's family has entered the palace except for the old slave, and the old slave's mother's father and two younger brothers have not survived." ”
It took Liu a long time to recover, looking at Mama Zhou who was in tears, and he had never seen Mama Zhou cry in his memory. But I couldn't help but ask, "Mama, is it because of the things in the vase?" ”
Mama Zhou nodded.
Liu didn't say a word again, but Mama Zhou opened her mouth.
"Madam, the old slave began to tell you this, on the one hand, this matter is related to the poison in the eldest young master, on the other hand, the old slave is also selfish, hoping to avenge the family. But the old slave finally woke up when he said that the old slave can't be selfish, and he can't ignore you, as well as Liufu and Liufu. ”
"What does this have to do with the poison of the eldest young master?" Ryu asked.
"Because the poison in the eldest young master and Emperor Jingcheng is exactly the same."
Hearing this, Liu's family was like hearing earth-shattering thunder, and he was shocked for a while. Liu didn't expect that Emperor Jingcheng was poisoned and died, and he didn't expect that the eldest young master was also poisoned.
Mama Zhou expected Liu's shock, and anyone hearing this news was no less than thunder on the ground. At that time, I was so frightened when I found out about this situation. Emperor Jingcheng did not die of illness but poisoning, and there must be some big conspiracy in the middle. Sometimes even knowing is a disaster.
"If the poison in the eldest young master is really a poison, it is indeed as Doctor Li said, and there is no solution to this poison, and there is no need to solve it. Most of the poisoned people because they have been asleep for too long, and their pulses come and go, so they are mistaken for death by most people, and at the same time, the consciousness of the poisoned person is weak, and there must be acquaintances who always stimulate their will to survive, otherwise no matter how careful care they are, they may lead to death. Therefore, this poison is the most testing of people's hearts. It's just that there is a way to alleviate this poison, which means that this poison does not need to wait for the poisoned person to detoxify itself after a year. ”
Hearing this, Liu Shi said, "What way? ”
Mama Zhou straightened up and bowed down again: "This is also the reason why the old slave confessed." The solution to alleviate is the combination of 100-year-old white mushroom, 100-year-old wild ginseng, and 100-year-old wood berries, and then the poisoned person can recover in only half a year. ”
"Then why did Emperor Jingcheng still die?" Liu Shi asked again after hearing this.
Mama Zhou was speechless, and only said after a while: "Madam, it's not that the old slave doesn't want to tell you, the old slave originally wanted to tell you about it, but now the old slave really can't." The old slave didn't think carefully before and asked you to give the eldest young master a hundred years of Baizhi, and the second lady also knew the effect of Baizhi, which caused the suspicion of the second room, and I was afraid that the long room would also know when the time came. ”
"Then does the second sister-in-law also know this way of alleviating it?" Ryu asked.
"Most of the second lady doesn't know, but the old slave knows that the second lady has a hundred-year-old wild ginseng on hand, and even the old lady should have it."
Liu said: "If the old lady has it, it is possible to give it to the eldest young master, who in the Manfu does not know that the old lady is partial to the concubine of the long house." It's the second sister-in-law, she can't bear it. ”
Mama Zhou shook her head, "Madam, if we hadn't given that hundred-year-old Baizhi, then the second lady would probably not have taken out the hundred-year-old wild ginseng, and now the second lady is afraid that it will be difficult to ride a tiger and have to take out the hundred-year-old wild ginseng." ”
"Why is that?"
"Madame, you forgot, you said that the second lady arrived early when you went, and the girls in the second room also went. You must know that the fourth girl in the second room and the second girl in the long room have never dealt with each other, not to mention that, after the second lady went, it was revealed that the second young master, Liu Yuanhong, would also visit. A son and nephew, if the relationship is good, it is reasonable to visit each other, but if there is no purpose in moving the people like this, no one will believe it. ”
"What purpose can it be?" Ryu asked.
"It should be that the eldest master is going to be promoted soon." Mama Zhou said.
Liu thought about it and thought it was possible.
Mama Zhou continued: "No matter what, there is no doubt that the second room wants to be friendly with the long room. Therefore, after we take out the hundred-year-old Baizhi, the second room will definitely take the century-old wild ginseng. ”
Liu's heart is a little happy, his Bai Zhi can make the second sister-in-law's flesh ache is also good, anyway, he doesn't feel sorry for Bai Zhi, and he has always been short of medicinal materials. Who let today's second sister-in-law use words to squeeze her out of the draft?
Mama Zhou was a little helpless when she saw the smile on Liu's face, but her wife's easily satisfying temperament was quite pleasing. But I had to pour cold water on my wife.
"Although the second lady said that she wanted to break the bill this time, the second lady's move had the effect of killing three birds with one stone."
Liu's face instantly pulled down, frowned and asked, "What is the effect of killing three birds with one stone?" ”
Mama Zhou said: "On the one hand, the second lady's move can show favor to the long house, and with the current situation of the long house, the long house will definitely inherit the second lady's love." On the other hand, Mrs. also said that the old lady prefers the son-in-law and daughter-in-law of the long house, and the second girl and the eldest young master have a deep relationship with each other, and helping the eldest young master is actually helping the son-in-law and daughter of the long house. If she helped the children of the long house, the old lady must have thought about it in her heart. And the old lady is older, and she likes the harmony below the most. At the same time, the second lady's move has made the old lady treat her differently, that is, outsiders can't run away from the previous reputation of caring for her son and nephew, being virtuous and generous. ”
The Liu family also knew in her heart that the old lady treated the eldest young master of the long house differently from the second girl, which was also impossible. Who makes the family have a long and human relationship? So I also have a purpose for sending a century-old Baizhi, but not as much as Mama Zhou thought.
"Right now, the three flavors of the long house have two flavors, as long as there are wood berries, the poison of the eldest young master can recover as soon as possible."
Liu listened to Mama Zhou's words and asked, "What is a wood berry?" ”
Mama Zhou said: "This is also what the old slave will say next. Both of the three flavors are rare medicinal herbs, and most people must think that your wood berries should also be some rare species. Actually, no, wood berries are not even medicinal herbs. It's all over Hainan over there. But if we sue the long house, and the eldest young master detoxified in advance, then it will definitely be discovered by the person who poisoned it. , and the old slave felt that this matter was a little strange, after all, this poison had not been heard of for many years, and it was exactly the same as the poison in Emperor Jingcheng, and the old slave was afraid that the two would be involved. So this matter needs to be considered in the long run. ”
After hearing this, Liu Shi frowned and was thinking.
After all, the secret in Mama Zhou's heart has not been completely said, and she should not hide anything from the Lord. But this matter is widely implicated, how can I be selfish? Mama Zhou looked at the Liu family who was thinking and sighed secretly, after all, she and her wife had a trace, and she was afraid that she would no longer be able to call Liu in private again. It's okay, after all, it's in line with the rules, and you don't have to worry about being caught that day and saying that there are no rules.
Just when Mama Zhou was comforting herself, she heard someone outside say that the second girl was coming.
