Demiaotang is in the east of Huai'an Mansion, and the first doctor in Huai'an, Fu'an, who sits in the hall, looks seventy years old, with a childish face, bright eyes, and a full head of white hair scattered over his shoulders, slightly shining. It looks like a bit of a fairy wind bone.

"Lord He, why do you have time to come here today?" Huangfu An had just sent off a sick person when he saw He Dongxun and a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy walking towards him, so he got up and said.

"Mr. Huangfu, I have something here that you need you to take a look at for me." He Dongxun said and handed over a leather bag. His gaze turned to Yang Muyun, "This is Lord Yang from the Southern Capital." ”

"Lord Yang—" Huang Fu'an said hello, took the leather bag handed over by He Dongxun, and led the two of them to a secret room in the backyard of Demiaotang.

Huangfu An carefully poured the Buddha porridge in the skin bag into a jade bowl, stirred it slightly with a jade spoon, put it on the end of his nose and sniffed it, then stretched out a finger and dipped it a little and put it in his mouth to taste it.

"How? Mr. Huangfu? Yang Muyun and He Dongxun both stared at him nervously.

"Hmm-" Old Mr. Huangfu nodded, stroked his white beard and pondered for a while, and said, "Except for a small amount of Ditian Qi, Angelica, and Fushen Guben Peiyuan, this porridge is mainly made from the juice extract of the Bliss Flower Fruit. ”

"Bliss Flower?" Yang Muyun and He Dongxun both heard about this thing for the first time, and they couldn't help but be stunned, and their eyes brushed to look at Huang Fu'an, hoping that he would explain.

"This flower was not originally my Ming thing, it was introduced to my Central Plains from the Western Regions hundreds of years ago, and it was not called Bliss Flower at that time, but called Hibiscus Flower. This flower opens in April and May, the flowers are cup-shaped, when it is in full bloom, it is gorgeous and gorgeous, the posture is light, like a young girl full of enthusiasm and enchantment, bright and gorgeous, not losing peony peony. Huang Fu'an's face was solemn, and he paced in the room.

"After June, the petals wither, and an oval-shaped capsule the size of an egg is produced, and when the fruit is slightly yellow, the skin is cut with a blade, and white milk oozes out, and when it is winded, it turns brown. After a little placement, you can get a brown-black paste, which was called hibiscus paste in the past. ”

"Can this thing heal?" Yang Muyun asked.

"It can be used as an adjunct in medicine." Seeing that the two of them didn't understand, Huang Fu'an explained, "When the patient is in pain, taking it can reduce the pain a little and stabilize his mood." It has a narcotic and analgesic effect, and taking too much can also poison people to death. ”

"What happens to ordinary people when they take it?" He Dongxun asked.

"Will be addicted to it, and produce illusions, this has been recorded by the predecessors," Huangfu An talked eloquently, "the Song people called the blissful fruit the warblip seed, the Song people like to eat soup, the literati and scholars often use this warbler corn to boil the soup, Su Shi said in the poem, "The Taoist advises to drink chicken Su water, and the boy can fry the warbler millet soup", Su Zhe said after drinking the warbler soup: 'Drink a cup, lose your smile and be happy; I came to Yingchuan, such as visiting Lushan. After drinking this soup, the scholar of Su University was fluttering and hallucinating, and the ordinary mountains and rivers of Yingchuan became as splendid and magnificent as Lushan in his eyes. ”

"What Mr. Huangfu means is that the patient who drank this porridge was not cured, but hallucinated, feeling as if he had been cured." Yang Muyun said.

"That's right," Huangfu An twisted his beard and chin, "all things are mutually reinforcing, since Shennong's taste of herbs, after thousands of years, there has never been a medicine that can cure all diseases." ”

"Bliss flower, this name is good, people take it and die of bliss." Yang Muyun said with a smile.

"Thank you, sir, for your advice." He Dongxun said to Huang Fu'an.

......

Out of Demiaotang, the two walked along Fudong Street to the west for a short distance to the gate of Huai'an Mansion.

Although Huai'an Mansion is not as good as the Southern Capital Ying Tianfu, but it is also quite magnificent, there are two big stone lions standing on both sides of the gate, and the gate plaque is engraved with four black lacquer gilt characters "Huai'an Mansion Department".

He Dongxun paused in front of the yamen.

"Entering from this gate, it is a stone memorial arch," He Dongxun seemed to be talking to himself, "The memorial arch is engraved with Xunzi's words 'Gongshengming', and the back is 'Erfeng Erlu, the people are anointed with the people's fat, the people are easy to abuse, and the heavens are difficult to deceive." He said and looked at Yang Muyun: "You can't bring this deceitful and deceitful people to justice, and the officials are ashamed to the people of Huai'an, and they are ashamed to pass under this archway." ”

"Brother He, but he has this heart, only God can show it." Yang Muyun persuaded, "The people don't know the truth, and they need cadres like Brother He to lead them to see the clouds and see the blue sky again, instead of sighing here in vain." ”

"Lord Yang is right, but the officials are sentimental." As he spoke, he walked towards the mansion and saw Yang Muyun standing still.

"Won't Lord Yang go in with the lower officials?"

"Brother He, please, it's getting late, I still have something to go back to the inn, and I can't go with Brother He."

......

When Yang Muyun returned to the door of Tianzi No. 1 on the third floor of Tongfu Inn, he saw that the door was open, and Su Yue was talking to a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy at the door.

"Su Yue, what's going on?" Yang Muyun walked a few steps to the door.

"Master, this kid said he wanted to look for you, but he refused to tell me if I asked about something." Su Yue pouted.

"Are you Yang Gongzi?" The boy smiled at him, revealing a mouth full of white teeth.

"Yes, what are you looking for me?" Yang Muyun asked.

"Brother Xiao Liang, let me tell you that the big official sent someone over to tell Miss Binong that he would pick her up tonight, and he would keep an eye on her there until you came." The boy whispered.

"Xiao Liang-kun? Did Xiao Liangjun send you? ”

"Hmm-" The boy nodded, his eyes blinking.

"Okay, I know, this is for you, good-" Yang Muyun smiled and handed him a piece of silver.

"Mr. Xie Yang—" The boy took the silver and jumped away.

"Master, what is that kid looking for you? How is it mysterious? Su Yue waited for Yang Muyun to enter the house and closed the door.

"Oh, nothing." Yang Muyun glanced at the house, "Why are you alone here, Meng Nan?" ”

"Miss followed Steward Liu from the house to Andong County." Su Yue replied.

"Why go there? What's going on there? ”

"No, the twenty big ships that Miss escorted here have already loaded the salt and are now docking at Huai'an Dam in Andong County. Just wait for the salt introduction to be approved and released early tomorrow morning. Su Yue explained.

"No wonder she is in such a hurry to get over, it seems that she is still not at ease."

"Master, you don't know, those officials of the Salt Transportation Division are not easy to deal with, they have formulated a lot of rules and regulations to card you," Su Yue saw that Yang Muyun was very interested, so she continued, "All the official salt that is shipped is packed with a bag for every four hundred catties and every two hundred catties, and the bag is counted as five catties." When passing through the inspection office, some should be taken out according to the number and weighed by the weighing pan. If the bag of salt exceeds 205 catties, it will be convicted of selling illicit salt. ”

"It's so strict, what if a bag of salt has two hundred and six catties? If you have an extra pound, will you also be guilty? Yang Muyun stuck out his tongue.

"This kind of thing can be big or small, it depends on whether you have a backer behind you. Otherwise, these officials have the means to make things difficult for you. Su Yue looked at him and smiled, her expression was indescribably coquettish, "If the merchant ship carrying salt passes the inspection office without permission, they will say that you sold salt without inspection, not only will you be punished with a cane, but you will also be escorted back for re-inspection!" ”

"It's really difficult to deal with such a difficult official for Mengnan for many years." Yang Muyun sighed.

"Fortunately, Lord Yao is now in the Salt Transportation Branch Office in Dongchengfang, Andong County, and he will go to the Approval Institute tomorrow to sit in person. He shouldn't be embarrassed for Miss. ”

"If Lord Yao is here, I will be relieved." Yang Muyun groaned slightly, "What about Mrs. Yao?" Aren't you with Master Yao? ”

"Mrs. Yao is going to take a boat back to her hometown in Yiyang early tomorrow morning, and she is busy moving things to the boat now?"

"Oh? Looks like she's got a lot of stuff with her. ”

"Of course, Mrs. Yao said that there are many people in the Yao family's clan, and Lord Yao alone came out to be such a big official, and now when he goes back, he can't be shabby."

"Since you're so busy, why do you still ask Miss Yao to accompany you to Ganlin Temple?"

"That's the case, Mrs. Yao said that she had a Buddhist scripture in Ganlin Temple, and asked Miss Yao to pick it up, and Miss Yao and I went with her, but I didn't expect to meet the master." Speaking of this, Su Yue smiled lightly at Yang Muyun, "After the master left, Miss Yao also took the Buddhist scriptures and left, and Miss and I accompanied her as soon as she came out of Ganlin Temple, and she ran into Steward Liu, who came with Miss......"

"What about you? Why didn't you go with Meng Nan? Yang Muyun asked.

Su Yue's snow-white cheeks were slightly red, and her voice was as thin as a mosquito's chirping: "Miss...... The young lady asked me to stay and serve the master. ”

Yang Muyun looked at her shy appearance, and couldn't help but move in her heart, this little girl is absolutely beautiful, not under Zhou Mengnan. He grabbed Su Yue's delicate and gentle hair, and said softly: "Su Yue, I come from a humble background, and I don't understand the rules of your big family. If it's because of Meng Nan, and your choice is bound, I'm very uneasy. ”

"Master-" Su Yue's beautiful eyes were watery, and she bit her lips lightly, "Although I am a slave, Miss treats me like a sister, and I swear that I will serve Miss for the rest of my life and never be separated." Wherever she goes, I follow. If she marries, I will ...... too" At this point, her face flushed, and her slender fingers gently rubbed the corners of her clothes.

"Would you like to serve me?"

Su Yue's face turned even redder, her long eyelashes couldn't help trembling, and her head was slightly dotted, but she couldn't say a word.

Yang Muyun grabbed her fragrant shoulder with one hand, and put the other hand in the crook of her leg, hugging her delicate body horizontally.

"Master—" Su Yue's eyes became misty.

Yang Muyun carried her to the edge of the bed and sat down, letting her lie on her lap. One hand held her, and the other hand untied her clothes......

Su Yue's delicate body trembled slightly, both nervous and happy.

After a while, a crystal clear delicate body was naked in front of Yang Muyun's eyes. Yang Muyun gently placed her on the bed, and pulled a brocade quilt over her graceful and moving body as smooth as a stream. Yang Muyun kissed her lightly on the face: "You wait for me in bed, I have to do something." ”

Su Yue opened her beautiful eyes that were full of spring water, and a jade arm like a snow lotus reached out from the brocade quilt and gently pulled Yang Muyun's sleeve. "Master, you must come back early, I'll wait for you in bed."

"Good ——, I will, don't you come out." Yang Muyun seemed to be coaxing a child.

"Hmm-" Su Yue's beautiful eyes were sparkling, and her eyes were like silk.

......

Yang Muyun came out of the inn, his heart was pounding, he was not a saint, he couldn't sit still, but he successfully restrained his desires, he felt a trace of pride, facing the night sky that had become dark, and took a deep breath.

A carriage whizzed past him in the direction of the city gates. Yang Muyun dusted off his clothes and was about to walk in the direction of Huamen Lane to the west.

I only heard the neighing of the horse from "Herod", followed by a shout and scolding: "You are blind, and you will go forward without looking at the road......

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the child is not sensible......"

Yang Muyun turned his head to look, and a coachman wearing a hat jumped out of the car and shouted at a woman who was pulling a child, and the woman pulled the child behind her and apologized to the driver again and again.

The figure of the coachman was so familiar, Yang Muyun's heart moved, and he was about to take a closer look. The curtain of the car window was lifted, and a familiar face poked out of the car, "When is it, are you still entangled with people, why don't you go quickly?" ”

"Mrs. Yao?" Yang Muyun's eyes widened in surprise. Even more surprising was still to come, "Yes, ma'am." The coachman turned around, and although the hat was pressed very low, Yang Muyun could still see his face clearly, with a square face and thin eyes, and a high nose and mustache......

"Isn't this the Guang Illusion Master of Ganlin Temple? How could she be with Mrs. Yao? ”

Dressed as a coachman, Hirophanta jumped into the carriage and with a wave of his whip, the carriage disappeared into the night with the sound of a chariot again.

Yang Muyun watched the carriage go away, and turned around and walked towards Huamen Lane with questions.

......

"Childe, you're here, come upstairs with me." Yang Muyun arrived at Yicui Column, and Xiao Liangjun hurriedly pulled him towards Miss Binong's residence and walked briskly.

Binon anxiously paced back and forth in the room, "Tuk-tuk—" She scurried over as soon as there was a knock on the door.

"My lord-" Binong opened the door and looked out of the door vigilantly, Xiao Liangjun consciously stood at the door, and Yang Muyun hurriedly dodged in.

"My lord, that big official is about to send someone to pick me up, what should I do?" Lenon closed the door and asked.

"Don't worry, I'll give you a few questions, you remember and go over to find out his tone, and be sure to inquire about this person clearly."

"Yes...... But I'm afraid, he's a guy who likes to hit people when he drinks, and I'm afraid he'll hit me. Binon said timidly.

"He was still drinking when he came?"

"Yes, the room where he and I are usually set up with a table of wine and food, and when he comes, he will ask me to accompany him to drink and eat first, and sometimes he will beat me when he is in a bad mood."

"Oh, I see." Yang Muyun nodded.
