87_87437Zhong Ziyuan was busy every day, either sitting in the Xianghe Pharmacy, studying her strange medicinal materials in the glass house, or using knives on those mice. I didn't notice that the ginkgo trees in the backyard had quietly pulled out green shoots, and a cluster of spring flowers in the corner of the wall had bloomed a large yellow flower. The high wall next door still couldn't stop the peach branches that were watered by the spring rain and poked out their heads playfully, and many soybean-sized buds also grew on those peach branches.

Qingdai once stood under the peach branch and looked up for a long time, her eyes were misty and her eyes were far away. Zhong Ziyuan thought that this girl suddenly had the demeanor of a talented woman under the influence of Liu Yuqing. She pointed to the dense buds on the branches, and said to Zhong Ziyuan excitedly: "Miss, I counted three times, there are twenty-six buds on this peach branch, and when the Dragon Boat Festival comes, will we have twenty-six peaches to eat?" ”

Sure enough, you can't expect too much from her, the corners of Zhong Ziyuan's mouth twitched, and she said helplessly: "That peach tree belongs to someone else's, and it has nothing to do with us how many peaches it bears." ”

Qingdai bit her fingers and said unwillingly: "But their peaches are going to come to our side, even if I pick a few and eat them, they shouldn't find out, right?" For such a foodie thinking, Zhong Ziyuan was speechless, just silently left her and returned to the glass house by herself.

The glass house is now the world of those strange flowers and mice, and the girl who called herself Pei Lan did not say goodbye after Zhong Ziyuan helped her remove the stitches on her back.

In this regard, Cardamom also has a lot of complaints. However, Zhong Ziyuan felt that such a result was the best. Because she knows that a person like Pei Lan who doesn't even dare to say his name is destined to be riddled with countless troubles, and she is just an ordinary person, so it's better not to get too close. So she also specially told Cardamom that even if she saw Pei Lan on the road in the future, she should never greet her, as long as she didn't know her.

The spring rain began to fall again, and a layer of moss had grown on the gravel road in the backyard, and Cardamom carried the corner of her rain-soaked skirt and complained: "It's really annoying to go on endlessly." ”

Outside the courtyard, there was a sudden sound of light footsteps. A woman holding an oil-paper umbrella and carrying a basket walked gracefully on the long stone road, and the clogs under her feet made a nice crisp sound on the road. Coming to the gate of the backyard of the Zhong Mansion, she looked around a few times, reached out and tapped the copper ring on the door.

"Who?" Cardamom's voice came out in the courtyard.

The woman smiled slightly and said, "The little woman is penniless and wants to ask for something to eat in your mansion." ”

"Coming, coming, wait a minute." Cardamom has no doubt that several heavy snowfalls every year will crush many farmers' dilapidated houses, and during this season, when the harvest is not harvested, many homeless people with no surplus food will go to the city to beg. During this time, homeless people often came to beg for food, so Mrs. Zhong ordered a large number of steamed buns to be prepared in the kitchen in case of emergency.

Cardamom ran to the kitchen and wrapped two large steamed buns in oiled paper, then went back to the backyard and handed them to the woman. The woman took the steamed bun and put it in the bamboo basket she was carrying, and thanked the cardamom. She took out a yellow-mounted paper stack of peace charms from her bosom and handed it to Cardamom, and said, "This is the peace charm that the little woman asked for in Fahua Temple a few days ago, and she gave it to the young lady in the house to express her gratitude." ”

Cardamom originally wanted to refuse, but as soon as she heard that it was a peace charm from Fahua Temple, she immediately put it in her sleeve pocket. Seeing that Cardamom had received the peace charm, the woman smiled slightly, raised the oil-paper umbrella and flipped away. Her pace was fast, and she turned a corner and disappeared.

Cardamom closed the door and returned to the glass house, where Zhong Ziyuan was buried in a pile of bottles and cans, and he didn't know what he was doing. When he heard the footsteps of cardamom, he casually asked, "Another homeless person has come to eat?" ”

"It's a clean-looking woman, a little different from ordinary homeless." Cardamom took out the peace charm and put it in front of Zhong Ziyuan, and said, "Look, she also gave me this, saying that she asked for a peace charm from Fahua Temple, and gave it to the young lady in our house to express her gratitude." ”

"If it's really the peace charm of Fahua Temple, it's very rare." Zhong Ziyuan suddenly became interested, she pinched the corner of the peace charm and looked at it carefully. It was a very ordinary yellow mounted paper, folded into a triangle, and you could faintly see the words written inside, and black ink seeping through.

Zhong Ziyuan said curiously: "I remember that the peace charms are all drawn with cinnabar, but why is the handwriting in them black?" ”

"I'll see." Cardamom was stunned for a moment, she took the peace charm from Zhong Ziyuan's hand, looked at it carefully, and really saw that black ink was oozing from it. Zhong Ziyuan smiled: "This peace charm must be fake, what about people teasing you?" ”

"Smack" Cardamom threw it on the table, pouted and said unhappily: "Why is this person like this, I kindly gave her steamed buns to eat, but she used a fake peace charm to coax me, is it interesting?" I'll go to her for comment. With that, she went out in a huff.

Zhong Ziyuan shook her head a little funny, she glanced at the fake peace charm that was thrown on the table, and faintly found that there was a piece of oozing ink that could be seen to be the word "anger", could it be that there was something else in this? Zhong Ziyuan thought about it and opened the peace talisman with his hands.

Sure enough, there was no spell on the peace talisman, but a few words written on it. The handwriting was sloppy, the ink had not dried, and it seemed that it had been written in a hurry. After Zhong Ziyuan saw the contents clearly, his face couldn't help but change drastically. She stood up with a "bang", and didn't care about the porcelain bottles that were pushed down, lifted the hem of her skirt, and ran out in a hurry.

"Mother, mother." Mrs. Zhong was sitting on the edge of the long collapse doing embroidery work, and when she heard Zhong Ziyuan's shouting voice, she couldn't help but shake her head and said helplessly: "What a child who doesn't grow up." ”

Zhong Ziyuan ran in panting, and Mrs. Zhong said with some disgust: "You kid, why are you so frizzy." She shook the embroidery work in her hand, and said with a smile: "This is the new skirt that my mother helped you make, look, isn't it good-looking?" ”

Zhong Ziyuan didn't bother to look at the skirt, she handed over the tight yellow mounted paper in her hand, and said in a panic: "Mother, look at this." ”

"What? It's worth your hustle and bustle. Mrs. Zhong took the yellow mounted paper in her hand, unfolded it, and looked at it carefully. I saw that it read: The master of Lingxiao Pavilion accidentally slipped the tire this morning, and after investigation, there was a large amount of dried longan in the fetal pills that the nobles took every day, Long Yan was furious, and he had ordered someone to take down the Zhongyuan who was responsible for taking care of the dragon fetus and handed it over to the Criminal Department for questioning, and ordered to raid the house. The officers and men will arrive immediately, and they will cherish it. A small bouquet of Perrin is painted at the end of the payment.

"Could this be true?" Zhong Ziyuan asked without a master.

Mrs. Zhong's brows furrowed tightly, and she said thoughtfully: "Some time ago, I heard your father say that the master of Lingxiao Pavilion had a weak heart and spleen, insufficient qi and blood, and couldn't sleep every night, and often felt dizzy. At that time, he said that he wanted to add a small amount of dried longan to the medicine, but his idea had obviously been dissuaded by me, and he replaced the dried longan with other medicines, how could he still find it in the medicine of that nobleman? ”

Zhong Ziyuan knows that longan is warm and sweet, beneficial to the heart and spleen, replenishes qi and blood, and can be used for insomnia, forgetfulness, palpitations, dizziness and other symptoms caused by heart and spleen deficiency and lack of qi and blood, and can also treat frailty or mental decline after illness, and it is also very suitable for women to adjust and supplement after childbirth. But longan is a kind of "forbidden fruit" for pregnant women. Because longan is warm, sweet, sweet and warm, it is easy to help the fire and move the fetus and blood. Pregnant women's qi imbalance causes stomach qi reversal, vomiting, and over time, it hurts yin, heat, abdominal pain, "seeing red" and other abortion symptoms, and even causes miscarriage or premature birth.

"So, what is written on this is not necessarily true?" Zhong Ziyuan looked at Mrs. Zhong and asked hopefully.

Mrs. Zhong frowned, she raised the yellow mounted paper in her hand and asked, "Where did this come from?" ”

Zhong Ziyuan knew who sent it when she saw the bouquet of Peilan, but she didn't dare to tell the truth, she only said that a woman pretended to be a homeless person and folded it into a peace charm.

After listening to Zhong Ziyuan's narration, Mrs. Zhong couldn't help but take a deep breath and said, "It's really peace!" I'm afraid that this matter is true, and perhaps someone who received your father's favor in the past came to deliver the letter in advance. ”

Speaking of this, she stood up suddenly, took Zhong Ziyuan's hand, and said, "In this way, the officers and soldiers who raided the house are only afraid that they will come to the door soon, you can't stay at home, you have to leave quickly." ”

Zhong Ziyuan was still in a dazed state, just staring blankly at Mrs. Zhong calling Cardamom and Qingdai loudly, and after explaining a few words, the three of them hurriedly packed up a few burdens. Cardamom even wrapped up a large pile of bottles and cans in the glass house and put them all in the carriage.

When Qingdai and Cardamom were about to pull Zhong Ziyuan into the car, she finally came back to her senses in a ghost state, she grabbed Mrs. Zhong's hand, and said anxiously: "Mother, you get in the car quickly." ”

"Nope." Mrs. Zhong shook her head and categorically refused: "If there is no master in the mansion, I am afraid that the emperor will become more and more angry, and when the time comes, he will order a wanted person, and none of our mothers and daughters will want to run." ”

Zhong Ziyuan's eyes overflowed with tears, she shook her head desperately, and said in horror: "Then I won't leave, I want to stay with my mother." ”

Mrs. Zhong stomped her feet anxiously and said, "You girl, why are you so disobedient at a critical juncture." She immediately said to the overwhelmed Qingdai and Cardamom: "What are you doing, why don't you pull the young lady into the car quickly." ”

"Yes." Qingdai and Cardamom came back to their senses and stepped forward to pull Zhong Ziyuan away, but Zhong Ziyuan's hand became tighter and tighter, and she cried bitterly and said, "I'm not leaving, I'm not leaving, I want to be with my mother." She seemed to realize that if she let go of her hand now, she might never see her mother again.

Qingdai and Cardamom didn't dare to be ruthless to Zhong Ziyuan, and Zhong Ziyuan was in a state of hysteria, and no one could help her for a while. At this time, a mother-in-law ran over in a panic and shouted: "Madam, madam, there are many officers and soldiers outside the gate, saying that our master has committed something and wants to raid the house and arrest people!" ”

Mrs. Zhong became more and more anxious, she saw that Zhong Ziyuan was still crying endlessly, and she couldn't listen to anything, so she had to grit her teeth and slap her hard. Zhong Ziyuan was shocked, and finally quieted down. Mrs. Zhong took the opportunity to shout: "Are you so entangled in this way, do you want me and your father to run around to avenge their grievances, and no one will collect the body after death?" ”

Zhong Ziyuan was stunned, Mrs. Zhong knew that she finally listened to these words, and hurriedly said to Qingdai and Cardamom: "Pull Miss into the car and go." ”。
