Chapter 55: Teasing
The people who had filled the courtyard retreated like a tide, leaving only a mess in the room. Yinniang, who didn't even dare to come out of the atmosphere before, screamed angrily: "What about people? Where did all the people die? Finally, the turtles and maids who were far away came out of the corner one by one.
"You're all dead! Why don't you hurry up and clean up here. Yin Niang crossed her waist with one hand, pointed at them with the other, and continued to roar with foaming mouth.
"Yes." The big guy immediately packed it up in a hurry.
Suddenly, someone exclaimed, "Mom, there's still a person lying here." ”
Yinniang was shocked, put away the teapot shape, ran over to take a look, and couldn't help patting her thigh and crying bitterly: "Isn't this Zhang Gongzi?" Why did you leave him here alone? I saw a grasshopper jump off the face of Zhang Gongzi, who was still unconscious, and hid in the grass in a panic. He was covered in blood and didn't know it, and the situation was really extremely bleak
There was a super luxurious Zhucui canopy carriage parked at the door, and Zhu Fei took Xue Ji's arm and stepped on the pineapple wood pedal, followed by Guo Chengsi. Zhong Ziyuan sent Cardamom back first, and then he wanted to go up with him with the medicine box, but he didn't reply to Guo Chengsi and dropped a sentence coldly: "You follow the car, you don't have to come up." Then he lifted the curtain and flashed in.
Zhong Ziyuan stiffened, so she had to retract her feet stupidly. I heard Zhu Fei's teasing voice faintly coming from inside: "Lord Guo, what a big official!" ”
Guo Chengsi smiled heartily: "It's just a traveling doctor, do you need to show off your authority!" I'm afraid that he will smoke you with the smell of medicine. ”
Medicinal taste? Zhong Ziyuan raised her sleeve suspiciously and sniffed it. It seems to be a little, but it doesn't smell bad! Where it gets to the point of smoking. This Guo Chenghei is just relying on his power to suppress himself in front of that demonic and beautiful man.
Zhong Ziyuan secretly slandered: Isn't it that he always blocked him at the entrance of the criminal department some time ago. I wanted to borrow his token again, but he was stingy and tried his best to avoid it. I met in Meixiang Pavilion today, and it was just an accident, did you use it to put on a face like this? Besides, I have to prepare for a hemorrhage tonight, and you are the one who eats white food. Don't talk about stammering, let's give a good face anyway! Now he doesn't even let a carriage sit, it's really too cautious.
After a while. I saw Xue Ji lift the curtain and walk out. Seeing Zhong Ziyuan standing beside the carriage with an indignant face, she couldn't help but smile and said, "If Doctor Jia doesn't dislike it, why don't you sit in the same carriage with me!" ”
"And the carriage? Okay! Thank you so much. Zhong Ziyuan was overjoyed. She thought she was going to run after the jeweled canopy carriage sadly! When I heard it, there was still a carriage. That's when she was relieved.
Although Xue Ji's carriage was not as luxurious as Zhu Fei's, it was also spacious and bright, and the layout was extremely comfortable. The three of them didn't feel cramped at all when they sat inside.
Those who got on the car got on the car, and those who got on the horse got on the horse, and when they were ready, the team slowly moved into action. The wheels are constantly rolling on the road, and because the frame is wide and heavy, it doesn't look bumpy at all.
After Zhong Ziyuan sat down. Then he took off the medicine box on his shoulder. Xue Ji poured a cup of black plum tea and held it in front of her, and said with a smile: "The carriage is only prepared with what our sisters love to drink." I don't know if it suits Dr. Jia's appetite. ”
Zhong Ziyuan hurriedly took it and took a sip, it was really sweet and sour, very appetizing. I was so busy working in the Meixiang Pavilion that I didn't even bother to take a sip of water. At this moment, this black plum tea was like a rain to Zhong Ziyuan, so she raised her neck and drank it cleanly. Then he wiped the corners of his mouth and said: "This black plum has the effect of quenching thirst, astringency and diarrhea, relieving cough from the lungs, and relieving alcohol and blood." This bitter summer is coming, and it is just right to drink. However, this black plum tea is not for everyone to drink, if it is a cold and fever, cough and phlegm, chest and diaphragm stuffiness, bacillary dysentery, enteritis in the early stage, as well as women's menstruation and pregnant women before and after childbirth are taboo to eat.
Xue Ji and another woman wearing a bamboo blue embroidered bamboo pattern brocade robe looked at each other, and then laughed "poof". The woman didn't forget to point at Zhong Ziyuan and teased: "Okay, you idiot, just drink black plum tea, who wants you to memorize the medical book here." ”
"Xiao Sheng just saw the black plum in this lamp, and the description of it in the Compendium of Materia Medica immediately appeared in his mind, so he naturally recited it, and asked the girl not to blame." Zhong Ziyuan was not angry, and after confessing, he laughed with him.
The woman listened to her stupid words, covered her mouth and laughed again. Xue Ji couldn't help but smile and pushed her, and then said: "Doctor Jia is very polite, you are the guest of our prince, where do you need to apologize to us who are maids." It's Yuhime, she overstepped. After saying that, she glared at Yuji, who was still snickering.
Zhong Ziyuan took a closer look at Yu Ji, and couldn't help but praise: "The girl's skin is as white as jade, and her luster is moving, she really lives up to the title of this jade girl." Originally, it was a little light, but she said it seriously. This time, even Yukihime couldn't help it, and laughed with Yuhime.
The three of them were talking and laughing in the carriage, and time flew by. After a while, I felt the carriage stop. Xue Ji and Yu Ji immediately got out of the carriage and rushed to serve Zhu Fei. Zhong Ziyuan stretched out unhurriedly, moved his somewhat stiff waist, and then jumped out of the carriage with the medicine box on his back.
As soon as she turned around, she happened to see Xue Ji standing in front of the Zhucui canopy carriage with her eyebrows lowered, and Zhu Fei held her arm and slowly descended lazily. And it was not him who made Zhong Ziyuan concentrate, but Guo Chenghe, who came out later.
Guo Chengsi didn't know when he took off his official uniform, and changed into a crimson wide-sleeved regular dress, with a jade crown on his head, and his black hair fluttering in the wind. Although his facial features were not as delicate and perfect as Zhu Fei, the hearty smile on his face was as dazzling as the sun under the light of the torches in front of the carriage. Looking at that smile, Zhong Ziyuan suddenly had a feeling of faster heartbeat.
As soon as Guo Chengsi raised his eyes, he saw Zhong Ziyuan, who was standing not far away, stunned, so he beckoned to her: "Come here." ”
Zhong Ziyuan was excited, immediately withdrew his gaze, and walked over obediently.
She stood by the carriage. Looking up at him, he asked carefully, "What do you command?"
"Hold your hand out." Guo Chengsi ordered unceremoniously.
Zhong Ziyuan didn't figure out what he meant for a while, but just stretched out his hand in a daze. Guo Chengsi didn't say a word. He put his hand on her arm and stepped out of the carriage step by step.
Although there was a thin layer of fabric, the warm touch on his arm still made Zhong Ziyuan tremble. The warmth was like a soldering iron that made her whole body heat up, especially her cheeks, which would have turned into a red cloth if they weren't covered by a potion.
However, when she looked up and saw Xue Ji in front of her, who was in the same posture as herself, and Zhu Feihou who put his hand on her arm. The cheeks that were about to burn suddenly turned black. Only then did she suddenly realize that Guo Chengsi dared to love him as a little servant, but he was not afraid of being smoked by the smell of medicine on his body.
A wave of anger rose in Zhong Ziyuan's heart. She just wanted to shake her hand. Guo Chengsi immediately clenched her arm, and he whispered, "Do you still want my token?" If you are satisfied with my service tonight, I will lend you the token tomorrow so that you can meet Zhong Jinchuan and his wife. How is it? ”
It sounds a little weird. Zhong Ziyuan still felt happy in her heart. The original feeling of humiliation immediately flew out of the clouds. She immediately smiled flatteringly: "My lord, walk slowly, be careful of a stone here, don't grumble at your feet." Oops! Be careful, there's a puddle there, don't get your vamp wet."
Zhu Fei walked in front, and when he heard the sound of chattering behind him, he looked back. saw Guo Chengsi put his hand on Zhong Ziyuan's arm. The corners of his mouth were pursed tightly, and the corners of his eyes twitched. But his face was darker than the bottom of the pot. But Zhong Ziyuan didn't know it, just pointed to the ground, like a lark, talking happily. Zhu Fei couldn't help but "poof" and laughed.
finally sat down on the fifth floor of Piaoxiang Building, and immediately Xiao Er walked in briskly with a towel and a teapot.
Xue Ji hurriedly asked, "What kind of tea is this?" ”
Xiao Er said with a smile: "This is the Yunding Snow Peak that Guo Shizi left here. Yukihime nodded with satisfaction.
Zhong Ziyuan secretly slandered on the side: He really deserves to be a veritable uncle of the country, and the treatment is different. Thinking that Mrs. Liu wants to go to the fifth floor for dinner, she has to come in advance to book a room in person. But this Guo Chengsi actually has his own tea here, which shows that he is a frequent visitor here.
Xiao Er skillfully wiped the table, poured tea for the four of them, and then asked with a smile: "I don't know what the two princes want to eat today?" ”
Zhong Ziyuan immediately priped up her ears vigilantly, Guo Chengsi glanced at her, and said with a smile: "Just follow the old rules!" ”
"Great!" The little second was also very cheerful, didn't ask any more questions, and left with a flick of the rag.
Zhong Ziyuan was anxious, what is this old rule! I left without making it clear, and I didn't know if I had enough money in my medicine box. She really wanted to stop Xiao Er and ask carefully, but she was afraid that she would make Guo Chenghei unhappy, and the matter of borrowing tokens would be in vain. In the trepidation, her originally handsome little face was tangled like a bun at the moment.
Guo Chengsi didn't understand her thoughts, but seeing that she began to struggle, his mood immediately miraculously improved. So he no longer paid attention to her, but chatted with Zhu Fei in a low voice.
Forget it, if you come here, you will be safe! If you really don't have enough money, it's a big deal to stay and wash the dishes to pay off the debt. After Zhong Ziyuan figured it out, his expression immediately relaxed a lot, his shoulders collapsed, and the whole person became wanton and relaxed.
She reached out and picked up her cup of Genting Snow Peak and took a sip. Well, the tea soup is sweet and mellow, and the tea fragrance is long and long, and it is really a good tea. Zhong Ziyuan originally accompanied Xue Ji and Yu Ji to say so many words, and she felt a little thirsty. So she drank all the tea in the cup one by one, and then reached out to pick up the teapot and refill herself with a cup.
When she put down the teapot, she noticed that the atmosphere around her had become eerily quiet. She raised her eyes and took a look, but saw that Zhu Fei and Guo Chengsi had stopped talking, and the eyes of the three of them were all on herself.
She picked up the teacup and took another sip, then said with a grin, "You talk, don't pay attention to me." I don't have much chance to come up to the top floor of this fragrant building, so I must enjoy the scenery here tonight. With that, she stood up with her teacup and walked out of the porch.
Guo Chengsi looked at her back with a calm face, first frowned, then smiled with relief, and went with her. But Zhu Fei's eyes lit up and said, "Xiao Guozi, where did you meet such a fun person?" ”
Guo Chengsi happened to pick up the teacup and took a sip, and immediately coughed when he heard the words. He put down the cup, wiped the corners of his mouth indiscriminately, and said, "His name is Jia Ming, and he is a doctor." His uncle was the hapless Bell Envoy. The three ghosts in Shuzhong who were caught last time were also involved in Jia Ming by mistake, so they knew each other. But he's a funny guy. "As for the fact that he was bitten by a snake and he helped him treat himself, of course Guo Chengsi would not say anything about it.
Zhu Fei saw that the roots of his ears were a little red, and he knew that he was not completely telling the truth. So he didn't break it, but just laughed quietly: "Actually, you can sue Dr. Jia that the boss behind this shop is Xue Ji." The two of us came to dinner, and the proprietress could just wave a pen, in fact, he didn't need to be so anxious about the money for the meal. ”
Guo Chengsi just smiled and said nothing, of course he wouldn't say that although he had been avoiding Zhong Ziyuan for the past month, he still knew Zhong Ziyuan's every move very clearly. He knew that Zhong Ziyuan spent a lot of money every day to bribe those jailers and cell heads, and he only hoped that the second elder of the Zhong family could live a more comfortable life inside.
But what Zhong Ziyuan didn't know was that because Guo Chengsi didn't make a sound, all the wine, food and food she sent every day went into the stomachs of those jailers.
In fact, Guo Chengsi didn't want to help her, but he also had unspeakable secrets. After Zhong Ziyuan borrowed his token last time, he was announced into the palace by Empress Guo the next day and taught a good lesson. He knew that although his sister was the queen of the Middle Palace, she was stared at by countless pairs of eyes, so he wanted to wait for her to make a mistake so that he could take the opportunity to pull her down. As a younger brother, I can't help her, and I can't pull her back. At that time, it didn't take long for Concubine Li to slip a tire, Zhong Jinchuan was on the cusp, and Guo Chengsi could only choose to avoid Zhong Ziyuan.
However, yesterday the noble concubine was officially canonized as Concubine Li, and Zhong Jinchuan's limelight was much smaller. At this time, let this kid go to meet his uncle, it should not be as eye-catching as before. But thinking about that month, this Jia Ming was like a hunting dog, jumping up and down by himself, and Guo Chengsi couldn't help but want to play tricks on him to relieve his hatred.
How did Xue Ji know that Guo Chengsi was thinking darkly at the moment. After listening to Zhu Fei's words, she pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "The prince made fun of Xue Ji again, obviously you took down this Piaoxiang Building with money, but you just wanted me to be the boss behind the scenes." ”
Zhu Fei sighed lightly and said, "Is this Piaoxiang Mansion your family's ancestral inheritance, or is it better for you to inherit it." It turned out that you had to prevent the gang surnamed Sun from discovering your whereabouts, but now you don't have to worry about anything. ”
"Thank you for being so thoughtful for Xue Ji." Yukihime's voice choked up a little.
Guo Chengsi watched this scene quietly, and he finally understood why so many people followed him with Zhu Fei's moody and uncertain temperament, so that his mother-in-law was helpless.
Zhong Ziyuan leaned against the green bamboo carved railing outside with a teacup, and tried his best to look into the distance. The location here is extremely high, so you can have a panoramic view of most of Chang'an City. The lights in the city are like stars in the sky, shining brightly and continuously.
The canal next to the Piaoxiang Building, because the sky is dark, so it is not clear to see the original appearance of the river, but you can still see many fishing boats hanging on the bow of the lantern, quickly shuttling on the river surface, facing the river breeze faintly, as well as the happy and crisp laughter of the fisherman girl when she harvests. This situation made Zhong Ziyuan feel that even if he didn't drink, he had a hint of drunkenness.
She turned her head and glanced indoors, Zhu Fei, who was as bright as the moon, and Guo Chenghei, who was as handsome as the sun, were all within reach. I don't know if those high-ranking ladies of Chang'an City will be envious, jealous and hateful when they know their treatment today! Thinking of this, Zhong Ziyuan took another sip of the Yunding Snow Peak in the cup quite proudly. (To be continued......) R1292
