Chapter 033: Mountain Rain is Coming (Part I)
I didn't sleep well because I was worried about things last night, and I went to the racecourse again this morning, and now Su Xue only felt tired, and fell asleep on the soft couch.
Miao Meng didn't dare to wake her up, and went out gently to the kitchen to get lunch, and when she came back, she met Cuixiang, and after thinking about it, she called her to chat a few words, saying that the young lady felt angry with the old lady, and felt uncomfortable, and she was tired of crying, so she fell asleep.
Cuixiang was slightly startled after hearing this, and said with a smile: "Let the third lady be relieved, the old lady must not be angry." ”
Miao Meng was secretly happy, said goodbye to Cuixiang, and returned to the room with lunch. When she came back, Su Xue had already woken up.
The window was halfway open, and the wind blew the purple tassels on the soft couch swaying slightly, Su Xue looked at it for a long time before she looked away, looked back at the lunch on the low table, and suddenly said: "This horse racing festival is really boring, do you know when we can go home?" ”
Miao Meng lay down at the low table for Su Xue Bucai, heard this boring, first a little surprised, and then thought about it, Miss was scolded, and there was no Shen Ergongzi at this horse racing festival, I felt bored, and it was not strange to want to go home.
However, this time, the horse racing festival is three days long, today is the first test, tomorrow is the second test, and the day after tomorrow is the final competition for the top three before tomorrow. Therefore, even if you hurry back to the house, you will not be able to arrive until after dusk the day after tomorrow.
"If the young lady finds it boring, she can rest in the room and not go out to see. When the old lady knew, she would only think that the young lady was meditating and would not blame her. Miao Dream thought about it, and comforted him.
Su Xue smiled bitterly and shook her head, even if she felt bored, she had to follow behind the second wife. There were some things she had to figure out.
"I'm just talking about it." After a pause, he asked again, "Miaomeng, do you know that apart from the emperor's relatives and relatives, among the nobles of this Beijing Division, who can wear a python robe with a four-clawed dragon pattern?" ”
Miao Meng frowned and thought for a while, shook his head and said: "Except for the princes, princes, and county kings with titles, the rest of the people in the Great Calendar Kingdom are not qualified to wear the four-clawed dragon pattern python robe, which is a great disrespect to the royal family." ”
Su Xue was secretly stunned, that Ziyu was really a relative of the emperor.
Miao Meng paused, and said: "But there seems to be a special case, I remember that when the emperor set up the prince, he remembered the merits of Yi Guofu to the royal family, and gave the eldest young master of Yi Guofu a python robe, as for whether it is a four-clawed dragon pattern, the small one is not clear......
"Young Master Yi Guofu? But is it called Ziyu? ”
Miao Meng shook her head: "Why is Miss's memory so bad?" The two young masters of Yi Guogong are both single surnames and single names, how can they be called Ziyu? Why did the young lady suddenly ask about this? ”
Su Xue saw that Miaomeng was puzzled, and hurriedly explained with a smile: "I stayed in the mansion all day to listen to the ladies and ladies talking, so I asked curiously, as for whether the young master of Yiguo Mansion has a single surname and a single name, how can I remember so much?" ”
Su Xue said and turned her face away, but she was secretly glancing at Miaomeng's expression, for fear that she would be suspicious.
Miao Meng covered her mouth and smiled: "Of course Miss doesn't remember this, because Miss only has Shen Er Gongzi in her eyes." As he spoke, he stepped forward to help Su Xue get up for dinner.
Seeing that Miaomeng was not suspicious, Su Xue breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, smiled with a red face, and said no more.
Su Xue didn't say a word about the assassination of the prince, but Miao Meng muttered a few words on the side, saying that there seemed to be some accident on the horse farm this time, Chen Gongzi was also injured, and the eldest wife and the second lady were so worried that they couldn't even eat.
Chen Gongzi was also injured? Su Xue frowned, in the entire horse farm, wasn't that Ziyu the only one injured?
The situation was too urgent before, and she just listened to the man in white calling him Ziyu. Could it be that the eldest wife and the second lady are thinking about the son of the Chen family all day long is that Ziyu?
Su Xue was coldly excited, fortunately she flashed fast at that time, otherwise she would have been even more indescribable when she was bumped into by the eldest lady and the second lady.
After finishing the meal, Miao Meng went down with the dishes, and Su Xue sat by the window in a daze, quietly thinking about the strange things that had happened these days.
After a while, Miaomeng hurriedly returned, frowning and complaining softly: "The smell of fragrant powder in this corridor is too strong, and it makes people breathless." ”
Su Xue's eyes tightened, she looked back at Miao Meng, and asked, "You say, the smell of fragrant powder?" ”
Miaomeng closed the door tightly and walked to Su Xue's side before she dared to continue complaining, "Isn't it? The old lady gave Aunt Zhao a sachet, and Aunt Zhao hung it on her body all day long in order to show off, isn't this next door to us, it's suffocating......"
Su Xue listened and listened, and suddenly thought of the strange smell on his body last night, and then thought of the fact that Ma went crazy today, and her face gradually became heavy.
There really seems to be a connection here......
The Crazy Horse incident in the previous life was due to chocolate, which can drive horses crazy because it contains theobromine and cafemine, which can excite and even disturb the central nervous system.
And it is impossible for people in this era to discover irritating alkaloids such as theobromine and cafemine, let alone use them to harm others.
Before, Su Xue had always thought that foods containing a lot of theobromine and cafeminemine were nothing more than chocolate and cocoa beans, but now she suddenly realized that she wanted to miss a little.
Theobromine and cafemine also have a very important source of refinement, and that is tea.
A small amount of theobromine and cafemine is not very harmful to the human body, but even if it is not large, many people will have insomnia after drinking too much tea and coffee.
Higher animals such as humans still react in this way, and for cats, dogs, and horses, which are prone to hormone disorders, the problem is quite serious.
Su Xue's mind once again resurfaced the strange man she had met last night, with a strange smell similar to that of crushed tea leaves......
Could it be that he is the one who poisoned the horse and tried to murder the prince?
Su Xue clenched her fists and trembled a little in her heart.
Miaomeng didn't notice Su Xue's abnormality, and was still muttering: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince won the first place in the preliminary examination, and tonight I will light a lamp on the bank of the Linxi River and pray for blessings and wishes." I just heard that the second wife and Pearl were discussing, and it seems that everyone in the house will go tonight. ”
As soon as Su Xue heard the second wife, she suddenly woke up, grabbed Miaomeng's hand, and hurriedly said, "Since we all have to go, then we will go with us, otherwise I will stay in the inn alone, and it will be scary......"
Miaomeng was caught by Su Xue, and suddenly felt that it was strange and scary, so she nodded stunned.
Su Xue breathed a sigh of relief and forcibly calmed herself.
The afternoon wind blew a little harder, and the purple tassels on the soft couch couldn't stop swinging.
Su Xue sat on the edge of the bed, her whole body was blown cold by the cold wind, but Miao Meng reacted and walked over to close the window.
But the mountain rain is coming, how can this window be blocked?
After the old lady finished lunch, she was supported by the fourth lady for a walk in the small courtyard of the inn, and after talking for a while, she was helped by Mother Hu to go back to the room for a lunch break.
As soon as Hu's mother entered the house, she hurriedly instructed Cuixiang to close the window, and muttered: "The sun is still shining this morning, why is it gloomy again?" ”
Not long after Hu's mother finished saying this, it rained outside. At that time, the old lady was half-lying on the soft couch, and Hu's mother came over after closing the window and gently picked up the old lady's hand for massage.
The old lady was not sleepy at this time, and looked through the window lattice at the increasingly heavy rain outside, and suddenly asked, "Didn't the third lady come to eat at noon today?" ”
Mother Hu nodded on the side: "I didn't come." ”
The old lady frowned, and said indignantly: "Could it be that I really got into trouble with the old woman?" ”
When Cui Xiang heard this, she quickly poked her head out and explained softly: "The little one listened to the wonderful dream in the third lady's room, and the third lady felt that the old lady was angry, so she felt uncomfortable, and she was tired of crying, so she fell asleep." ”
When the old lady heard this, instead of a trace of pity, she sneered: "She really has that heart!" ”
Cuixiang heard that the old lady's tone was not good, and hurriedly took two steps back, not daring to help the third lady speak.
(Because the words coffee, coffee, and alkali will turn into stars together, so I deliberately typed the typo...... )
