Chapter Seventy-Three: Pampered and Proud

Zhong Ziyuan saw that although Du Ruyan was beautifully dressed, her demeanor was vulgar and shallow, and she knew that she was definitely not a noble master in Du's mansion, so she was not afraid of offending.

She stood on the steps, looked at Du Ruyan condescendingly, and said with a slight smile: "I don't know what Miss Du came to the door, hit when she started, and scolded when she opened her mouth?" ”

Listening to Zhong Ziyuan's words, Du Ruyan couldn't help but hate in his heart, he hit whatever he did, and scolded when he opened his mouth. Now those who are knocked unconscious, and those whose mouths are filled with ashes in the fire pond are obviously the people they brought. This rabbit who sells fart-shares is still talking nonsense with his eyes open, and he obviously doesn't take himself, Miss Dufu, in his eyes.

Yes, he has the support of his cousin, so naturally he will not take himself as a concubine in his eyes. Du Ruyan, who has always been proud and inferior, became more and more angry the more she thought about it, she raised her gorgeous little face and stared at Zhong Ziyuan. In that voice that was extremely sharp because of anger, he said with ridicule: "Don't be complacent, don't be arrogant, people like you can't earn a future." ”

Zhong Ziyuan's face suddenly darkened, others couldn't understand the vague meaning of Du Ruyan's words, but she understood it in her heart. Du Ruyan is laughing at her for following Guo Chengsi as a man, she can only be a lover, and there is no way out.

But Zhong Ziyuan is not a man, she is a real woman. She came up with this decision in a hurry that night, and she has been secretly annoyed until now. Now that Du Ruyan is still finding her own door to make trouble for this matter, she is annoyed, and her mouth is becoming more and more mean.

She coughed lightly, a faint smile on her face. said slowly: "Whether I can earn a future is not related to you." I only know that Miss Du is scolding like this at the door of the humble house today, if it spreads in Chang'an City, I don't know which Gaomen compound will dare to marry the Du family? Miss Du. You'd better worry about your future! ”

"You" Du Ruyan screamed and rushed forward, habitually raising his right hand and waving it out, wanting to slap away the hateful smile on her face.

She forgot that Zhong Ziyuan also had a ghostly snow girl by her side. Seeing that she was about to hit Zhong Ziyuan's cheek, her wrist was grabbed by Xue Ji.

Yukihime didn't pity her in the slightest, and her hand slowly clenched until there was a slight gurgling sound. Du Ruyan raised her eyebrows and shouted bitterly: "Cheap girl." Do you dare to be rude to Miss Gumoto? You're so daring. ”

Xue Ji smiled lightly, her hand stained with fire pond ash gently stroked Du Ruhai's delicate cheeks, and said, "Such a beautiful face." Why is his mind so vicious, always shouting and shouting to kill. Wouldn't it be a great sin if I shook my hands and left two scars on your face? ”

Her sharp nails ran across Du Ruyan's face. Du Ruyan only felt a slight tingling sensation coming from the place where she had scratched. Her face was instantly blackened and whitened. This beautiful face is her most advantageous and only capital, she doesn't know if the evil star in front of her has done anything on her face, so she screamed angrily: "Let go of me, let go of me quickly"

Yukihime smiled grimly, and really let go of her hand. Du Ruyan was free, and immediately involuntarily took more than a dozen steps back, she was really frightened by Xue Ji.

Zhong Ziyuan chuckled and said, "If Miss Du doesn't have anything else. Please go back! But I will convey your advice. ”

Since the performance that night was very successful, Zhong Ziyuan didn't mind continuing to play this pampered and proud role. Who told her that she promised Guo Chenghe.

Du Ruhai's beautiful eyes were almost bleeding, her red lips trembled slightly, but she didn't know what to say. It's a pity that the person who laughed so hatefully in front of him was a man, if he was a woman, Du Ruyan promised that he definitely had more than a hundred ways to make him worse than dead.

Finally, she realized that she would not gain anything here today except for self-inflicted humiliation. Her face turned red all of a sudden, and there was obvious anger.

Seeing this, a maid stepped forward with the courage to whisper and comforted: "Miss, we can't restrain him, naturally there are people who can restrain him." Why don't you go back and discuss it slowly! ”

Her voice was accompanied by caution, but Du Ruyan was just when she couldn't vent her anger, she turned around suddenly, raised her right hand, and slapped the maid in the face. After a crisp "pop", she turned and got into the carriage, and with a brush she tore down the curtain of the door, covering the eyes of those who were outside.

The maid was obviously used to being beaten, and she silently stroked the beaten cheek, and quietly climbed into the carriage with the other maid. The coachman sitting in front raised his whip, and the three masters and servants quickly left under the contemptuous eyes of everyone.

Zhong Ziyuan shook his head a little funny, pointed to the two big men who were still unconscious on the ground, and said helplessly to Xue Ji: "What about these two people?" ”

Xue Ji smiled coldly and said, "The master is gone, and the two dogs left behind don't need to be pitied." She turned to Cardamom and said, "Just go and fetch two basins of water and wake them up." ”

"Hey." Cardamom happily agreed. She really put down the copper basin in her hand, ran to the well, fetched a bucket of water and splashed it on the two unlucky ghosts.

Stimulated by the icy well water, the two big men finally woke up slowly. When they saw that their master was gone, they didn't dare to continue pestering, so they just waited to get up and went back to Dufu to report to their own in a gloomy manner.

Zhong Ziyuan arched his hand to the crowd and said, "Thank you for your grievances, it's okay now, let's disperse!" A few mouthfuls came up to say a few words to her, but most of them just smiled and dispersed.

When Zhong Ziyuan returned to the courtyard, he saw that Xue Ji had washed her hands, sat on the stone chair under the grapevines, and leisurely ate the cold grapes with her feet swinging. She looks like a cute little girl next door at the moment, and she is completely different from the cold and gloomy appearance before.

Zhong Ziyuan sat down beside her, smiled and said, "I'm glad to have you today, otherwise, I would be the old and small in my yard." I really can't stop Miss Nadu's anger. ”

Xue Ji chuckled and said, "Doctor Jia, don't make fun of me, even if you don't have me today." Miss Nadu is in your hands, but I am afraid that I will not be able to please you. ”

Zhong Ziyuan quietly touched the bottle of drug hidden in his sleeve pocket, only smiled slightly, and then changed the topic: "What is it that made you run this trip?" ”

Xue Ji threw away the grape skin in her hand, and after wiping her fingers clean, she smiled and pushed down a delicate jade box on the stone table in front of Zhong Ziyuan, and said, "Inside is a box of Tianshan Snow Lotus." Yesterday after you left. Our prince suddenly remembered such a thing, and asked me to rummage through the cabinets to find it. He said that since he had eaten your Heavenly King Concentration Pill, he would give this Tianshan Snow Lotus to you in exchange. ”

"Tianshan Snow Lotus?" Zhong Ziyuan's face turned red. She whispered in disbelief. Tianshan Snow Lotus is a veritable treasure, and everyone regards it as the "king of herbs" and "the best in medicine".

To say that it can heal the dead, it is too exaggerated to give birth to white bones, but it is indeed a rare miracle medicine. There are many diseases that can be treated. This flower grows in steep terrain. On the top of a snow-capped mountain that is rarely visited by pedestrians, and the growing cycle is very long, but the flowering period is very short. Ordinary people can't pick it at all. Therefore, Zhong Ziyuan has only seen it in medical skills, but he has never seen the real thing.

Zhong Ziyuan opened the jade box in front of him, and a faint fragrance that refreshed the spleen and lungs immediately came out of the originally closed jade box. She fixed her eyes and saw that there were three lotus flowers in full bloom, only palm-sized snow lotus. The petals of these snow lotus flowers are as thick and crystal clear as jade, and they look tender and juicy. It's like they've just been picked.

Xue Ji saw that Zhong Ziyuan was looking carefully, and she pursed her lips and smiled. explained: "These snow lotuses are about a hundred years old, and they are not particularly rare. Two years ago, our prince occasionally bought it for a thousand gold coins in the hands of a merchant in the Western Regions. It is also strange to say that these snow lotus flowers are placed in this jade box, as if there is water and soil cultivating it, and they have always maintained this blooming appearance, and they are not decaying at all. It's just that the merchant of the Western Regions said that this jade box can only guarantee that these snow lotuses will not rot for five years, and after five years, if these snow lotuses have not played a role, they will immediately become useless dead grass. This snow lotus has been in the hands of the merchants of the Western Regions for two years, and in the hands of our prince, it has another two years, that is to say, it only has one year left to be used. ”

Zhong Ziyuan smacked her tongue secretly, the hundred-year-old Tianshan Snow Lotus was still not rare in the mouth of this Snow Ji girl, she really didn't know what was rare. She took a deep breath, let the leisurely fragrance swirl in her spleen and lungs, and reluctantly covered the jade box. Then he pushed it down in front of Xue Ji, shook his head and said, "My Heavenly King Concentration Pill only sells for three taels of silver. But your son took the Tianshan Snow Lotus worth a thousand gold coins in exchange, which is inevitably too much of a loss. Besides, your current body, eating this will also be of great benefit, so you better take it back! ”

Xue Ji obviously saw Zhong Ziyuan's eyes showing surprise, but she didn't expect that in the end, she would categorically refuse. Xue Ji was stunned for a moment, and in a blink of an eye, her cherry lips curled, and she smiled: "Look at me, I really can't speak, what is worth a thousand gold!" Originally, Shi Ziye just felt that it was a pity that such a good medicine had no effect in his hands for so many years, only in your hands, these rare medicinal materials would play the greatest role and save more people's lives, so he called Baba to find out and quickly sent it over. Doctor Jia, you must not postpone it! You also know that our prince is not in good health, but he can't be in a hurry, if you refuse to follow his mind and provoke him to get sick in a hurry, how can you get it? ”

Zhong Ziyuan had to admit that she was really moved. When a doctor sees good medicinal herbs, it is like a swordsman sees a peerless sword, and a miser sees a cornucopia, and he will want to keep them for himself and let them play the best role in his hands. Her hand rested lightly on the jade box, but her heart fell into a contradictory struggle.

Xue Ji smiled and continued: "Since Doctor Jia knows that this Tianshan Snow Lotus is of great benefit to our prince's illness, he must also know that this Tianshan Snow Lotus needs to be combined with several other medicinal herbs to produce the greatest effect. If Doctor Jia has a heart for our prince, it is better to use this snow lotus as a guide, make that heart-protecting pill, and then give a few to our prince, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds. ”

Zhong Ziyuan suddenly realized: "Good girl, waiting for me here!" It turned out that you wanted me to help you make medicine, you just say it, why bother to turn such a big circle. ”

Xue Ji slowly lowered her eyes, bit her lip, and whispered: "Doctor Jia, don't misunderstand our prince, he really just wants to give you this box of snow lotus, these are actually my own thoughts." Shi Ziye didn't care about his illness, and never refused to take medicine to treat it well, so even if this snow lotus was in our hands for two years, it didn't play a role. I just see that the prince is now willing to be close to you, except for Prince Rui and Guo Shizi. So I thought that if you made it yourself, maybe he would eat it, so I came up with this idea. Don't blame you. ”

When Zhong Ziyuan heard this, he secretly sighed and said, "Xue Ji, you love your family very much!" ”

Xue Ji was taken aback, and said anxiously: "Doctor Jia, don't talk nonsense, how can we who are girls be delusional about a golden and jade-like character like the prince of the world." ”

Zhong Ziyuan saw that her anxious cheeks were flushed and she looked sad, so she didn't mention it anymore. After thinking for a while, she said, "Okay, I'll take this box of snow lotus and help your family make that Xindan." ”

Xue Ji stood up in surprise when she heard this, bowed down to Zhong Ziyuan Yingying and said, "Thank you, Doctor Jia." ”

Zhong Ziyuan hurriedly helped her and said: "There is no need to be so polite, it's just that this Xinxin Pill for the treatment of heart disease, and a few medicinal materials are particularly cherished, and I can't find it at all with my ability, so I can't rely on the strength of your Shu Wangfu." ”

Xue Ji said categorically: "No problem, Doctor Jia, you just need to open a clean order, I will definitely do my best to find these medicinal materials." Zhong Ziyuan really didn't say a word, found pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and opened a list.

Seeing Xue Ji carefully fold the list and put it in her bag, Zhong Ziyuan coughed lightly and reminded, "Remember, these medicinal materials must be found within a year, because this Tianshan Snow Lotus only has one year. ”

"Don't worry." Xue Ji hesitated for a moment and said: "I have also heard that Miss Nadu is arrogant and vicious, and it seems that she is still the concubine of the old Zhenguo Duchess for Guo Shizi, and she will be carried into the door together after Miss Naliu enters the door." Today, he was humiliated and returned here, but I am afraid that he will not give up, and Dr. Jia must be careful when entering and exiting in the future. ”

Zhong Ziyuan secretly smacked her tongue when she heard this: What kind of deep hatred does this old Zhenguo Duchess have with Guo Chenghei, and she actually found him such a beautiful person, but he was ruthless and vicious, and he was extremely jealous as a concubine. I am afraid that no master mother in the whole world can suppress her, and with her temperament, I am afraid that she will not be willing to succumb to others. It's no wonder that such a person is put in the backyard and doesn't stir up the world. (To be continued......)
