Chapter 111: The Dew of the Sea
Steward Wang's eyes, which were already desperate, suddenly lit up, and began to croak, and from time to time bloody spit flowed from the corners of his mouth. It's just that his mouth was seriously injured, and the words he said were vague, which made Mrs. Zhang scratch her head at all.
Finally washed the soil from his mouth, put on his clothes, and the officials pressed the king's steward, and walked away with Guo Chengsi and Zhu Fei
Seeing those plague gods leave, Zhang Shilang could no longer hold back the anger in his heart, and as soon as he went to the door, he grabbed Mrs. Zhang's hair bun and beat her head and face. While fighting, he shouted angrily: "Your Wang family doesn't have a good thing, eat me, wear me, and dare to stumble with me!" Muddy is mud and will never hold up to the wall. ”
His eyes were fierce, and his hands were quite heavy, and he immediately beat Mrs. Zhang's nose and face to be swollen. The subordinates in the house didn't dare to touch the mold, so they quietly avoided it. Even Zhang Gongzi, who had been sticking to the wall as a drawing paper for a long time, touched his nose and quietly slipped out of the house through the back door.
No one came to dissuade him, and the more Zhang Shilang fought, the more he fought, the more excited he became. Mrs. Zhang endured the severe pain all over her body, and peeked at the tip while barely covering the fist that fell like raindrops. I saw that the wings of his nose were rapidly stirring, and his eyes were slowly filled with bloodshots, revealing a bloodthirsty light like a beast.
Mrs. Zhang was shocked, she was very familiar with Zhang Shilang's expression. At this time, he couldn't even control himself, and if he didn't completely vent the evil fire in his heart, he wouldn't stop at all.
Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but complain, she hadn't experienced such pain for many years. Now that I'm old, I'm beaten like this. Let her start to feel black in front of her eyes, the corners of her mouth. Blood kept dripping from the end of his nose. She could only curl herself up in a ball as much as she could, and then used her hands to protect her head. Consciousness gradually drifted a little. Before she passed out, she was still thinking bitterly, could it be that the next Lan'er would not be able to do it herself
Seeing the officials dragging the weak and frightened Steward Wang into the prison of the Criminal Department, Guo Chengsi suddenly smiled and said to Zhu Fei: "When did you become merciful, and you still want to save his life." ”
Zhu Fei lazily flicked the horse's head, and the breeze blew the black hair on his shoulders, making his lazy voice a little ethereal: "Don't be ignorant." I don't care about the life or death of a pariah. I know that you have been lacking in skills recently, and I am worried about her in my heart, so I will help you. ”
Guo Chengsi slapped his horse and chased after him, and said with a smile: "Indeed, Zhang Shilang saw that the king's steward was injured and couldn't speak, so he wouldn't jump over the wall in a hurry to take his life in the next two days." In this way, I have a lot more time to decorate. I didn't expect our brothers to be so thoughtful, so why don't I ask the emperor for advice. Let you also come to the Criminal Department to seek a position. ”
Zhu Fei looked back and said with a smile: "Don't hurt me, I still prefer a free and unrestrained life." After saying that, he hit the horse. The lion under the crotch, Xuexue, raised its front hooves and hissed and galloped away. The wind blew his moon-white robe, and his black hair swaggered in the wind. Seeing this, a smile appeared on the corner of Guo Chengsi's mouth. He flung the whip on the curly-haired pheasant's ass-thigh under his crotch. The curly-haired pheasant let out a mournful roar and rushed forward like lightning.
The two of them are one in front of the other. You fight for me, and from time to time there is a hearty laugh. There is quite a spring breeze proud, and the meaning of Chang'an flowers can be seen in one day.
However, the Chang'an flower, which made them so hurried and worried, was sleeping soundly on the pillow. At this moment, it was almost dusk, and the orange-red sunset was quietly cast on her through the hollow rose lattice. She curled up like a cat, sleeping very steadily, and even the thin blanket on her body slipped to her waist.
Guo Chengsi frowned slightly, gently helped her pull the blanket on her shoulder, and then whispered to Qingdai who stepped into the door: "Did your young lady sleep until this time and didn't wake up, or did she just fall asleep?" ”
Qing Dai whispered: "Then Imperial Doctor Liu's method is really effective, I told Miss a lot of previous things during the day today." She didn't react, but she didn't get sleepy as easily as she used to. No, I didn't close my eyes until the unitary. I saw that she was sleeping soundly, so I thought I would let her sleep a little longer. ”
Guo Chengsi said with some worry: "I'm afraid that I can sleep well now, and I will be sleepy again at night." ”
Qing Dai smiled: "Don't be afraid, I only plan to let Miss sleep for half an hour, and I have prepared lotus seed powder porridge and fresh milk, which can calm the nerves, and will definitely not let Miss go sleepy." ”
Guo Chengsi nodded with satisfaction, lifted the hem of his shirt, and sat down beside Zhong Ziyuan. Reach out and brush a few mischievous strands of hair from her face. She seemed to be startled, rolled over, pressed her little face against the side of his firm thigh, and slept more and more soundly. Guo Chengsi looked down at half of her exposed face and ingot-like ears, and the corners of her mouth slowly hooked, revealing a gentle smile.
Zhu Fei sat opposite them, his face was always faint, and the air around him was like a pool of stagnant water, cold without a ripple. He stretched out his hand and poured himself a cup of tea, slowly, sipping it one by one, and suddenly said, "Since her small courtyard has been rested, let her move back tomorrow!" ”
Since Zhong Ziyuan's accident, she has a hole so big in her roof that she can't live in. Guo Chengsi simply bought the yard near her house at a high price, and then demolished it all and rebuilt it. Even if he had a lot of money and a lot of people, it took him a month to build. At this moment, Zhong Ziyuan's originally small courtyard has become an exquisite three-entry mansion.
Guo Chenghe's original intention was not to want Zhong Ziyuan to live in Zhu Fei's place for a long time. Although except for Imperial Physician Liu, every doctor who helped her see a doctor had never seen Zhong Ziyuan's true face, and a person like Imperial Physician Liu had long been accustomed to all kinds of privacy in the mansion. got a large amount of money from Guo Chengsi and Zhu Fei, so he naturally kept his tongue shut. Don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case, if this matter is spread by someone with a heart, it will hinder Zhong Ziyuan's reputation after all. But Guo Chengsi didn't expect Zhu Fei to speak first and let Zhong Ziyuan move away.
Guo Chengsi frowned puzzled, but finally said, "Okay, tomorrow I will have people prepare everything that should be prepared." Let her move in immediately. He knew that Zhu Fei would not make such a seemingly ruthless request for no reason, so he nodded and agreed without saying a word.
Zhu Fei showed a strange smile. He took a deep look at Zhong Ziyuan, who was sleeping beside Guo Chengsi like an ignorant child. He raised his neck and drank the tea in his cup. Then he abruptly got up and left.
Guo Chengsi looked at his back gradually moving away with deep eyes, and suddenly sighed silently. He lowered his eyes again, cast his gaze on the person who was close to him, motionless, and a doting smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Qing Dai asked incomprehensibly and aggrievedly: "Why did the prince suddenly drive us away?" ”
Guo Chengsi said lightly: "I'm afraid of driving you away, he feels more sad than anyone else"
The twilight was gradually falling like a curtain, and a few shining stars had jumped out in a hurry, winking mischievously in the sky. Zhu Fei walked slowly on the path, listening to the sound of the wind blowing through the branches and leaves. It seemed to be a painful wail, and it seemed to be a helpless roar, which made his original soft intestines gradually become cold and hard.
Suddenly, there was a rustling sound of gently walking, and he looked up to see that it was Xue Ji, who had changed back into a pink skirt, carrying a small glass marquee, and walked over with a smile.
Xue Ji was slightly blessed, and said crisply: "Lord Shizi, the dew of the ocean has finally arrived. Would you like to take a look? ”
Zhu Fei was stunned for a moment, then showed a strange smile, and he murmured in a low voice: "It's finally here!" ”
Xue Jijiao smiled: "But isn't it! I heard that I walked the sea route for two months, and I walked the official road for ten days quickly. I finally sent it before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it was not easy to get it. ”
Zhu Fei finally came to the interest and said, "Where is it." Take me to see it. ”
Xue Ji pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "It's in the backyard!" The scent. It smells so good. As she spoke, she held up the lantern. Carefully illuminated the way forward for Zhu Fei.
Before entering the backyard, a refreshing fragrance wafted faintly, and Chunni's crisp voice: "Old man, what kind of flower is this!" I've never seen it before, and although the little one looks very inconspicuous, it smells so tight. ”
I heard Fu Siyuan say with a smile: "I haven't seen it either, I don't know what kind of flower it is." However, the prince of the world actually spent such a big price to transport it by sea, it must be very precious, you don't want to touch it. ”
Chunni said nonchalantly: "I know, I know, it can't be eaten, why should I touch it?" You're so long-winded! Fu Siyuan smiled, and didn't seem to care about Chunni's rudeness.
Zhu Fei walked in with a smile, and saw twenty lush flower pots at the base of the wall in the backyard. And Chunni is like a happy butterfly, spreading her arms and dancing happily among the flowers. One will sniff on this flower, the other will caress on that flower, and hum an unknown nursery rhyme in his mouth, and have a lot of fun.
Fu Siyuan watched with a smile on the side, and it wasn't until Zhu Fei came in that he beckoned Chunni, who was already crazy, to his side.
Although the sky was dark, with the bright lantern, Zhu Fei could clearly see the true face of the legendary Ocean Dew. The pale blue flowers have been fully stretched, like small bells hanging on the branches to beckon, and like dewdrops like the ocean.
When a weather-covered man saw his arrival, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed his hand, and said with a smile: "Lord Shizi, fortunately, this dew of the ocean has finally been brought to you." ”
"Good, good, good." Zhu Fei said with a smile: "This trip will definitely not make the brothers run in vain, and the reward has already been prepared." As soon as he stretched out his hand, Yukihime immediately took out a fluttering silver ticket from his sleeve pocket and handed it to him. Zhu Fei took it, didn't look at it, and stuffed it directly into the big man's hand.
After the big man saw the number on it, his face showed ecstasy, and he immediately turned over and bowed down: "Thank you for the reward." ”
"Well, go ahead!" Zhu Fei waved his hand unconcernedly, and the big man immediately retreated obediently.
Zhu Fei casually folded one and sniffed it deeply under his nose, and a mysterious and bewildering fragrance came to his face. A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and then he casually inserted this small light blue flower on Xue Ji's sideburns, and said with a smile: "Although this dew of the ocean is beautiful, it is still not as beautiful as Xue Ji's flower and moon appearance." Yukihime's face turned red, and she looked extremely shy.
Fu Siyuan suddenly spoke: "The dew of the sea, I remember that there is a record in a remote medical technique. The fragrance of this flower has the effect of enhancing memory, refreshing and relieving headaches. It's just that it comes from overseas, and it's rare to see it in this dynasty. Even if someone finds it and sends it to Chang'an City, most of them will wither on the road because of the unsuitable climate, and it is difficult to grow it alive, let alone bloom such lush flowers. I don't know how the prince did it? ”
Zhu Fei didn't answer his question, only smiled faintly, and said, "I didn't expect Uncle Fu to like to study medical books. ”
Fu Siyuan smiled and said: "Long-term illness naturally becomes a good doctor, I have indeed read a lot of medical books over the years, otherwise I would not have survived until now." Although his words were understated, they revealed a kind of sadness that penetrated deep into the bone marrow.
Zhu Fei didn't want to continue this topic, he reached out and stroked the light blue petals, and suddenly smiled: "Ming'er is the Mid-Autumn Festival, I don't know if my flower will be too shabby to give gifts." ”
Fu Siyuan stroked the gray beard on his chin, and said with a smile: "Where is shabby, I don't think there is a more elegant gift than this." ”
Early the next morning, Guo Chengsi came to pick up Zhong Ziyuan and went home. In order not to attract attention, he did not ride the eye-catching curly-haired black pheasant horse, but changed into his regular clothes, sat in a low-key blue cloth and blue-glazed carriage, and waited at the back door of the Prince of Shu's mansion. Qing Dai helped Zhong Ziyuan, who was wearing a cone hat, and walked out of the door quietly, and only Yu Ji was behind her, carrying a lot of baggage.
Seeing them come out, Guo Chengsi immediately jumped out of the carriage and gently picked up Zhong Ziyuan by the waist and sent him to the carriage. Qing Dai followed closely behind and climbed up. Yu Ji stuffed all the baggage in her hand into the carriage, and said in a rambling voice: "Here are some rare medicinal materials that calm the nerves, nourish the brain, and maintain health." It's all Miss Zhong eats every day. My family grandfather asked me to prepare a big bag, please also take it back, but I can't let Miss Zhong stop the medicine. ”
Qing Dai said angrily: "Your prince is really interesting, usually he looks good to our young lady, but now that the young lady is leaving, I don't see him showing his face, but he sent you to send such things, what do you mean?" Could it be that if we leave this world's mansion, will we be short of Miss's medicinal materials? She knew that Cardamom had earned a lot of money from the Peach Blossom Beauty Pill during this time, so she was also very confident in speaking.
It's no wonder that Qing Dai is resentful, she always feels that it was Zhu Fei who insisted on taking Zhong Ziyuan into this world to cultivate. But yesterday's fluttering words sent my own lady away, and she was forced to leave in such a hurry. made her feel a sense of shame of being swept away, so she secretly felt sorry for her young lady.
Yu Ji showed an embarrassed smile and said, "Because today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the prince will enter the palace early in the morning to send flowers, so there will be no time to send Miss Zhong home." (To be continued......)
