Chapter 421: Formula
Shu Yao was stunned, Pei's family had been raided, and all the masters and slaves were arrested, generally speaking, they would face several ways to behead, exile, sell as official slaves, and even act as official prostitutes.
The green figure is obviously a girl, a descendant of the Pei family (the master is generally difficult to slip through the net)? Or is it stealing?
Shu Yao smiled and shook her head, what does it have to do with her?
Bai Jin's eyes were sharp, and he saw the change in the expression on Shu Yao's face at a glance, and looked out the window curiously, but saw nothing.
The carriage of the Lianghou Mansion drove forward, quickly turned a corner, and disappeared at the three-way intersection in front.
Behind a large tree outside the walls of the Cloud Place, a woman in green leaned out, most of her face was covered by a green veil, revealing only a pair of eyes, in which there were two points of hesitation, two points of struggle, and the rest of the color of pain that only people who had gone through great suffering and torture.
The woman smiled bitterly: The lord of Fuxing is really not a "curious" person, and he is not nosy!
With a light sigh, she turned and walked away quickly.
On the streets of the capital, there are still many women wearing hats and veils, and the woman in green has not attracted the attention of others. Still, she was careful to keep an eye on her surroundings, especially behind her, as if to prevent being followed.
After walking for about three quarters of an hour, turning seven or eight streets and alleys, the woman in green arrived at the door of a small courtyard, and while knocking on the door, she vigilantly glanced left and right and behind her.
A woman in gray came out and opened the door: "Girl, are you back?" Brother Sleeve has been waiting, refusing to take the medicine, no, I'm tired, I just slept for a while. ”
The woman in green frowned and said lightly: "This sleeve." I love to make a little character more. It was clearly a rebuke. There was a lot of love in his voice.
The two closed the door and walked inside. This is a very small yard, a total of two rooms and a small hall, plus a small kitchen, the so-called yard is a small open space, and there is a chicken coop with stones in the corner of the courtyard wall, in which four chickens are pecking.
Although the yard is small and shabby, it is neatly cleaned and the ground is clean. It can be seen that someone cleans it every day.
In the hall, in addition to a simple set of round tables and chairs, it is more like a small silk dyeing workshop, on the ground are more than a dozen barrels containing pigments and flower petals, silk threads of various colors are hung on the high and low crossbars, and there are several palettes and various powder, paste, and watery materials on a long table against the wall, and in front of the long table is a large cauldron.
The woman in green took out a purse from her arms: "Mother Cheng, there are two hundred taels of silver tickets, a few pieces of jewelry and broken silver, and the title deed of this courtyard." In case of...... In case it is ......, the sleeve will be entrusted to become a mother. ”
Cheng's mother's face suddenly turned pale: "Girl, you ...... You...... Did you have a seizure? ”
Su Ran shook his head: "No." Two days to go. ”
Cheng's mother burst into tears: "Girl, aren't you ready to ask the Lord of Fuxing County to save Brother Sleeve?" Girl. Why not ...... together? ”
Su Ran smiled bitterly: "Mom, the county lord of Fuxing is not Langzhong, but we just know the high divine doctor and Wu Zhenzi Dao Chang, we are desperate, so we hope to ask her to help us, and at the same time rub a little bit of the county lord's blessings." But it's not so easy to meet the county lord, in case people know the true identity of me and Sleeve,......"
Cheng's mother was stunned and muttered, "Everyone says that Lord Fuxing is a good person, so he has so much luck." And...... Moreover, our sleeve brother's silk dyeing ......"
Su Ran waved his hand to stop Cheng's mother's words: "Where are the Fuxing County Lord and the Lianghou Mansion who will covet silk dyeing?" "And those who would think of greedy possession of silk dyeing will only use all kinds of means to control their siblings. Relatives are like this, can you still hope for others? Not to mention the ......
Therefore, the Lord of Fuxing and the Lianghou Mansion are probably the most hopeful for Sleeve, as long as Sleeve can live well, she will have nothing to worry about.
Cheng's mother wanted to say something, so Su Ran stuffed the purse into her hand: "Ten days will be Sleeve'er's birthday, Mom, you kill a chicken today, let's pass it in advance." Didn't that flower hen not lay eggs? Catch up with Ming'er, you can buy a few more chickens and come back. "Sleeve's favorite thing to eat is chicken and eggs.
Cheng's mother wiped a towel on her face, and said with tears: "Eh, I'm going to kill chickens and cook, girl, you go in and accompany Brother Sleeve." ”
Su Ran nodded in agreement, and walked to the innermost room, which was the room of her brother and her most important relative in the world.
Looking at Su Ran's back, Cheng's mother's nose was sour, and tears remained. What a good two children, they should be young ladies and young masters in fine clothes and food, but they ......
Su Ran entered the house, and the sleeves on the bed were still sleeping, because the sleeves were used all year round, and there was a strong smell of medicine wafting in the room.
Looking at the pale and tranquil sleeping face of her sleeves, she couldn't hide her sadness, this younger brother, who was two years younger than her, was born with fetal poison and had not left the medicine jar for nineteen years.
I don't know if it's the effect of fetal poison on the head, and he didn't start talking until he was five years old, and he said very little. Except for Su Ran and Cheng's mother, Sleeve Er has never said a word to anyone else. At that time, Sleeve Er was only eight or nine years old, and no matter how many people threatened and intimidated him, even whipped and acupuncture, Sleeve Er screamed in horror, but he didn't say a word, let alone say the formula for dyeing. Lang Zhong said that Sleeve Er was guilty of a bizarre stupidity, and the Taoist Elder and Dao Gu who invited him said that he was one of the three souls and seven spirits and some of them had left the Yuan Shen. In a word, there is no cure.
However, it is this incomplete soul who has committed a foolish sleeve that can dye the beautiful colored silk thread that is unique in the world.
Su Ran lovingly shook his brother's right hand hanging beside the bed, his sleeve was already nineteen years old, except for the time when he was taken away and forced to ask for the formula, and once a month he went to the mountains not far from here to pick flowers and grass, and look for color materials, he rarely left this small courtyard, and his only pleasure, or the only thing he was willing to do, was to mix colors and dye silk.
Referring to the materials found by Sleeve, the Pei family will also send similar things for him to study and choose from time to time. What makes the Pei family embarrassed is that even if they stay by and stare at the sleeves to mix dyes, there is no way to copy it. Pressed in a hurry, staring closely, disturbing him to do things, his sleeves will scream, or shrink into the corner, and he will not move for several hours.
Unable to memorize the recipe means that as long as the sleeve dies, the Pei family will never be able to dye such beautiful silk threads again. Master Pei and Pei Shaoqing, the eldest young master of the Pei family, tried all kinds of ways to do this, but they were helpless to take this "fool". You can only send people to collect various dyeing recipes in Waifan, Northwest, Southwest and other places for backup, so as to continue the status of Yuncaifang in the industry.
I don't know if it's lucky or unlucky, Sleeve'er, a poor, nameless son on the genealogy, who was even abandoned in his mother's womb, is the only descendant who inherited the talent of the Pei family's ancestors for dyeing silk. It's a pity that no one knows that those colorful colors come from the hands of the sleeves, and the people outside just envy the Pei family's extraordinary talent.
Fortunately, there are only all kinds of beautiful colors in the world of Sleeve Er, and he does not know what fame and fortune are, as long as he can freely immerse himself in his own world (the small dye shop in the hall), he is happy and carefree.
Thinking about it, Su Ran sighed, everything is fate.
She sometimes regretted asking her father for help, exposing the existence of Sleeve Er and her talent for dyeing silk, but as a result, Sleeve Er did not restore the identity of the sixth young master of the Pei family, but only became the "long-term worker" of the Pei family. Even, in order to control their siblings and prevent them from "betraying" or escaping, her father and eldest brother poisoned her, and she had a seizure on the fifteenth day of every month, and if she didn't take the antidote in time, she would bleed to death.
However, if it weren't for this, without those very expensive medicines for them, the fetal poison in Sleeve's body might have taken his life long ago, and she couldn't see the joy of Sleeve's color and dyeing.
Now that the Pei family has fallen, the medicine in the sleeve will soon be unavailable, and she will die of poison in two days, and she will no longer be able to take care of her younger brother.
Su Ran pinched the sleeve pocket on the left, which contained the silk dyeing formula that the sleeve had researched for so many years, which was written down by the sister and brother, and had been buried under the tree before, the Pei family fell, and everyone was arrested, so she dared to dig it out, hoping to use them in exchange for the peace of the sleeve.
However, the blood relatives in this world can be ruthless for the sake of profit, how dare she trust others at will? An accident can only bring more disasters to Sleeve Er and Cheng's mother, so it is better to take Sleeve Er underground to find her mother now.
Xia Shuyao, the lord of Fuxing County, was the only lifesaver that Su Ran could think of.
First of all, the lord of Fuxing County loves to embroider and is known to the world, and even went to Yuncaifang to select "snap up" in person, such a person must not want to see Yuncaifang's silk dyeing skills disappear from the world;
Secondly, the three brothers and sisters of the Xia family are very gracious, and their kindness to the old neighbors of Yulin Town has long been spread throughout the Great Zhou;
Moreover, with the power of the Fuxing County Lord and the Lianghou Mansion, if someone turns out the true identity of the sleeve and makes it difficult to threaten, they can also keep the sleeve. After all, Sleeve Er did not have a Pei family tree at all, and was not recognized by the Pei family.
The question is, will the Lord of Fuxing be willing to see her? Will you believe her?
……
Shu Yao just returned to the Lianghou Mansion, only to feel that her ears were itchy, and laughed softly, is this Yue'er talking to her again, or Xiao Bao'er?
Lan Jin pursed his lips, why didn't the county lord think that it was Ning Shizi? How sad Ning Shizi would be if he knew the truth!
Of course, Lan Jin only dared to complain secretly, her county lord was thin-skinned, and it was really difficult for everyone to make such jokes. The rules in the capital are big, the county lord is now noble, and many people are staring at finding faults, as a first-class girl beside the county lord, Lan Jin has become more and more cautious and steady over the years.
However, some people and some things really can't stand the chatter, Lan Jin just thought of Ning Shizi, and saw Zijin hurriedly ushering, and reported to Shu Yao with a happy face: "County Lord, Uncle Gui just left, saying that Ning Shizi is already on the road and will return to the capital soon." (To be continued......)
