The brother and sister discussed the plan, it was already late, and the mother-in-law in the courtyard next door had already come to urge twice, and the second time it was the people waiting beside the grandmother Zhang. Zhao Xiu knew that he couldn't stay any longer, so he got up and said goodbye to his brother.

"Sister, wait a minute." Zhao Wei stopped her, turned around and walked into the inner bedroom, and after a while, he came out with a brocade bag with a length of a foot and handed it to Zhao Xiu, "This was given to my sister by Gao Zhen, the prince of Guangping, grandmother said that he was messing around, and wanted to help you put it away." I finally grinded it over, my sister is so good to take it, don't go through the eyes of outsiders, grandmother will definitely let you keep this thing yourself. ”

Zhao Xiu was depressed in her heart, Gao Zhen would give her something, although it was surprising, but it was not a strange thing, but why did grandmother not want her to keep it for herself? She took the brocade bag, opened it, and realized what was going on.

What Gao Zhen gave her was a small and delicate dagger, the full length is the length of an adult woman's palm, the handle of rosewood, the sheath of pearl fish skin, all black, almost no decoration, only from the smooth handle, it can be seen that this dagger should be some years old. As soon as he pulled out the sheath, the blade inside was shining silver, and the cold air was overwhelming, presumably extremely sharp.

It's so strange, what did Gao Zhen send her to do? Could it be that she learned boxing when she was a child, and after five years, he thinks she can already learn knives?

Zhao Wei smiled and said: "Shizi heard me say, I learned my two sets of boxing techniques from you, and you have been practicing, so let me tell you, girls don't look good when they practice boxing, if you want to protect yourself, it's better to carry a sharp weapon with you." It's something he used when he was a kid, and now he's older. I don't need it, so I'll give it to you. He also gave me a book of boxing, which he had studied. Although the prince has a strange idea. But it's also well-intentioned. ”

Zhao Xiu looked at the dagger, and suddenly pursed his lips and smiled: "It's okay to have a dagger, I can take it with me when I go out." If Xiao Changfang sends someone to harm me, I will give them a knife! ”

Zhao Wei glared at his sister disapprovingly: "Don't you think they can't do this kind of thing?" Don't make fun of that. "His previous ideas were also very naïve, but this trip north, he saw a lot of things and broadened his horizons. People are also much wiser. Even a smart and wise person like King Guangping can't stop other people's plots. The little long room was defeated, and they refused to let go of their small second room. If he doesn't pay more attention, sooner or later he will be calculated, and he won't even be able to save his grandmother and sister.

Zhao Xiu pulled his brother's hand a little embarrassed: "I know, I didn't make fun of this." I really want to go out with it. ”

Zhao Wei's face slowed down a little. shook his head and vetoed his sister's thoughts: "Nonsense, if grandmother knows, she will definitely scold you." What do you think this is? Paper cutters? This is a real dagger. Carry it with you, can you protect yourself and not say, what if you hurt yourself? You'd better stop a bit, if you really want to keep this thing, just put it away. ”

Zhao Xiu shrunk his neck, but he was not stupid enough to refute his brother's words. Just say, "I see." Then he took the little dagger and went back to his yard.

Zhang sent the girl to her: "The old lady said. The girl hasn't seen her brother for a few months, and it is normal for her to want to talk to him more. It's just that it's so late, and you shouldn't have played for so long to come back, and it's the same if you have something to say. Now that it is autumn, the night is cold, the girl still stays in the house, don't blow the wind, and the quilt must be tightly covered at night. ”

Zhao Xiu stood up and respectfully agreed, and said, "It won't be like this again in the future, please don't worry about grandmother." ”

After the girl left, she carefully put away the brocade bag with the dagger, and specially instructed Bilian: "This is very valuable, don't let anyone else touch it." Bi Lian answered, and asked her anxiously, "Girl, have you told my brother?" ”

"Having said that, my brother knows what to do, so you can rest assured." Zhao Xiu looked back at her and hesitated, "Tomorrow morning, you will go home and tell your father and mother the method of leaving the country that I just said, especially your father, as long as your family is loyal to our ancestors and grandchildren, our ancestors and grandchildren will also be rewarded." As for the bag of medicinal powder, my brother has already taken it, and if he has something to say, he will ask Xiaoman to go back and say it, so you don't have to worry about it. ”

Bilian breathed a sigh of relief and nodded with a smile: "I know!" ”

On the second day, Zhao Wei quietly asked his grandmother Zhang to go out at breakfast to meet the gentleman in the school. Zhang said: "Didn't you tell you to rest at home for two days and then go to school?" There is no rush either. Take advantage of the free time, organize your homework, and review your books, otherwise when Mr. asks, you can't answer, and your face won't look good. And the homework for copying books, have you finished it? ”

Zhao Xiu quietly glanced at Zhao Wei, and lowered his head again.

Zhao Wei said with a smile: "My grandson's homework is almost done, and if I write two more articles today, it will be over, but it is a little rougher, I don't know if Mr. will be satisfied." However, my grandson bought a few books for my husband in the capital, which my husband had always wanted, so I planned to send them to my husband today. Maybe when Mr. saw the book, he was overjoyed, and he didn't find fault with me, and I don't know. ”

Zhang said angrily: "This kind of tricky method is really not the right way. When she was in the capital, she was a widow and had a lot of inconveniences, and she often stayed in the Guangping Palace. Zhang felt very distressed, so he planned to open his eyes and close his eyes this time, so that his grandson would be a little lazy.

Zhao Weishun went out, he went to the gentleman in the school first, and really sent a few books that were difficult to get. The gentleman was very pleased, and was picky about the homework he had handed in, and felt that some of the books he copied were well written, and some of them were much poorer, and they must have been caused by carelessness. However, the gentleman did not scold him, but just told him to be more attentive in the future, and sent the person away. Today is not a vacation, he still has to go to the school to teach people. He asked Zhao Wei to go back to class after the Mid-Autumn Festival, and before that, he would preview the new texts at home. Zhao Wei has been away from home for a few months, and he has already finished teaching a book in the school, and now he is opening a new textbook.

Zhao Wei agreed and withdrew. didn't go home, but went to Wang Siping's house and showed him the packet of medicinal powder.

Wang Siping is well-informed. As soon as I saw the medicinal powder, I knew it in my heart, and my face turned pale: "Where did my brother get this thing?" This is a harmful thing, don't touch it, brother! ”

When Zhao Wei heard this, he knew in his heart: "Grandpa Wang, don't worry, I know it's not a good thing, but I don't know what it does." That's why I'm here to ask you for advice. Tell me about it, right? ”

Wang Siping told him: "This is a kind of powder made from the rhizomes of poisonous weeds, which smells fishy and accidentally eats it in your mouth." At first, I didn't feel anything, but from the second day, the symptoms of the cold came out, and people felt sleepy. It's broad daylight. I slept soundly at night, but I couldn't help but die, and I had to sleep at least eleven for twelve hours a day. The doctor only regarded it as a cold, and he couldn't see that he was poisoned, and he would only treat it according to the cold if he prescribed medicine, and it was useless at all, so he kept waking up and sleeping. Delay until the seventh day, and you will never be able to save it again! It's just because it works. Some people have given it a nickname, called Seven Days, and it is the most vicious. In the past, the big families loved to kill people quietly with this, and the gods didn't know it, and outsiders only said that the dead person was seriously ill and died, and they would never think that he was poisoned! ”

Zhao Wei gasped, looking at the bag of poisonous powder, his eyes were about to shoot knives.

Needless to say, this must have been handed over to Lu Dashou by Xiao Changfang, who wanted to find an opportunity to quietly poison their ancestors and grandchildren. Lu Dashou's mother and sister are all waiting in the inner courtyard, and his younger brother is also the only male servant in his small second room, and he wants to do things in the master's tea and food, and there is a chance. If they are tricked, they will really mistakenly think that they are seriously ill and dying, and they will never think that it is someone else's calculation. When the three of their ancestors and grandchildren are all dead, and the little second room exists in name only, won't the title of Marquis of Jiannan fall back to the head of the little long house sooner or later? It's a pity that their little second room has never thought of embarrassing the small long room, and the small long room has to be killed. In that case, he doesn't have to show mercy!

Wang Siping was still asking: "Brother Wei, where did you get such a vicious thing?" ”

Zhao Wei didn't answer, but held his hand: "Grandpa Wang, I need to report the matter to my grandmother, can you go with me and make a personal witness?" ”

Wang Siping was puzzled, but still agreed.

When the two of them rushed back to the old house of Xiao Erfang in a hurry, Zhang had just invited the eighth old lady and Zhao Jing to come over to talk, and they wanted to discuss the matter of donating money and food to the public middle school to relieve the affected people. Zhang donated 1,000 taels of silver and 500 stone of white rice in one go, and dozens of pieces of clothing brought back from Beijing, including many high-grade silk fabrics, but the pattern and color were outdated, but in the eyes of many clansmen, this was still a very precious and decent cloth.

Zhao Jing and the eighth old lady were very grateful to Zhang Gong for his generosity, and at the same time told her that according to the newly introduced clan rules, the little second room had already received more than 200 contribution points, and it was completely possible to propose one thing by himself and ask the clan to discuss it, and as long as more than half of the clan people agreed, this proposal could be passed.

Zhang's didn't know much about the usefulness of this contribution point, so he only smiled and nodded to indicate that he knew, thinking that he would have to ask his granddaughter privately for a while, what was her idea when she mentioned this contribution point.

Zhao Xiu had already brightened his eyes when Zhao Jing and the eighth old lady mentioned their contribution points, and then saw his brother coming over with Wang Siping, so he hurriedly greeted him and glanced at his brother.

Zhao Wei nodded lightly to his sister, Zhao Xiu's heart was relieved, and he smiled: "Bilian and Xiaoman are home." Zhao Wei nodded and walked directly in the direction of his grandmother.

At this moment, in the small courtyard of the Lu family, Lu Dashou had just listened to what his father said, and he was a little suspicious that there was something wrong with his ears, otherwise how could he hear such a ridiculous thing? He couldn't help but ask, "Dad, do you say it again?" ”

"I said, after a while, you will come with me to the old lady to confess, and you will say that the people of the small long room instructed you to poison the old lady and her brother with poison, intending to kill the people of the small second room, and then monopolize the title and family property." Lu Changxiu looked at his eldest son, with a strange light flashing in his eyes, "What's the expression on your face?" Have I wronged you? Didn't you tell me that Mrs. Jiong handed you a packet of medicine and asked you to put it in the old lady's or Brother Wei'er's tea? Isn't that poison? ”

Bilian and her younger brother Xiao looked at each other, and they told their father according to the meaning of their little masters. But did my father's face change too quickly? (To be continued......)
