Chapter VIII Illegal Salt

Chenwang's Mansion

In Suhe Garden, Ji Fan didn't know what was going on and was not in the house, but left Lixia to take care of Jiang Guantong. Jiang Guantong had nothing to do, so he asked Lixia to take out a recliner and put it under the Suhexiang tree in the garden, Jiang Guantong leaned on the recliner, put his hands behind his head, crossed Erlang's legs, and looked very pleasant. remembered that I hadn't read medical books too much recently, so I asked Xiaoxiao to get medical books to read to her.

Lixia wondered, "The princess likes to study medicine?" ”

"That's right, this is also the purpose of my visit to Xiuyuan, I heard that Xiuyuan has four branches, and the medical school is one of them, and even the medical saint Xu He teaches in it, I want to worship him as a teacher."

Lixia is clear.

Then Xiaoxiao came out with the book, opened it and read it slowly, Jiang Guantong leaned on the recliner, closed his eyes, very lazy, not like he was listening to a book at all.

Lixia thought to himself, he won't fall asleep.

Then I heard Jiang Guantong say leisurely, "Xiaoxiao, you read the section of the three Jiuhou pulse diagnosis method again, I don't remember it too much, just start reading it from the pulse cutting part."

smiled and responded, found the three Jiuhou pulse diagnosis methods that he had just read and began to read again. "There are three parts of the pulse cutting part: the upper (head), the middle (hand), and the lower (foot), and each part is divided into three phases: heaven, earth, and man, a total of nine candidates. One, the upper part. Weather by two frontal arteries; Anterior auricular artery; Ground press both buccal arteries。。。。。。。。。。 ”

About an hour later, Jiang Guantong smiled pitifully, and ordered to put the book away, and then he had an idea, and suddenly asked Lixia, "Lixia, is this Suhe incense branch thick?"

Lixia was very puzzled, but still replied, "Back to the princess, there are thick and thin"

Hearing the answer, Jiang Guantong nodded with satisfaction, and said again, "Then let's choose a suitable branch to make a swing, okay?"

Lixia looked up and replied, "Okay"

Then Lixia chose a branch with uniform thickness that is very suitable for making a swing, and began to hang the swing, Lixia's efficiency is really high, and it is worthy of following Ji Fanxuan's person, it didn't take long for the swing to be driven, Lixia looked at the swing, stretched out his hand and dragged it, and after making sure it was safe, he walked to Jiang Guantong and said, "The swing you want has been done, princess Huiyu."

When Jiang Guantong heard this, he was happy, and said, "Thank you, Lixia"

After speaking, he didn't forget to give a thumbs up in the direction of Lixia.

Seeing this, Lixia immediately clenched his fists and leaned over and said, "The princess doesn't dare to be, this is what Lixia should do."

"Oh, don't be like this, everyone will be friends in the future, and these red tape will be exempted" After speaking, Xiaoxiao excitedly helped herself to sit on the swing.

It's Lixia, when he heard the word friend, his heart was full of waves, although Ji Fan didn't say it, but he did regard Lixia as a friend, and it can even be said that he and Ji Fan are better than relatives, but I didn't expect that now this princess Guan Tong also called a guard a friend, even if Lixia is a guard with high martial arts, but he is still warm, no wonder His Royal Highness is very unusual to this princess. When she came back to her senses, Jiang Guantong was already sitting on the swing, ready to let the smile behind her push her, Lixia stepped forward and said, "The princess must hurry"

"I know, I know," Jiang Guantong replied, and said to Xiaoxiao, "Hurry up and push me, Xiaoxiao"

Then began the happy swing journey.

As soon as Ji Zheng arrived at the gate of the palace, he heard the girl's crisp laughter from Su Heyuan, and from time to time there was a dress of "higher point, higher smile".

Ji Zheng was puzzled, and said to the guard, "What are you doing here, laughing so happily"

The guard at the door clenched his fists and said, "Return to the princess, Princess Guan Tong is swinging"

Entering Suhe Garden, sure enough, Jiang Guantong rose and fell on the swing, Jiang Guantong was dressed in red, looking at it from a distance, the clothes were flying...

Ji Zheng stepped forward, "I want to play too, Guan Tong will play with me"

Jiang Guantong stopped and said, "Ji Zheng, you are here, come on, I will let you."

Then the whole palace was Ji Zheng's "high point, high point, and higher voice"

It didn't take long for Ji Zheng to completely lose interest in swinging, and suddenly proposed to take Jiang Guantong out for a walk, but Lixia stopped him and said, "Princess, Your Highness is not here, I am afraid it will be inappropriate to go out."

"Then wouldn't it be nice if you didn't go out with us," Ji Zheng replied.

"This..." Lixia hesitated.

"What, this, that, that" You are more than enough to protect us. Ji Zheng said again.

When Jiang Guantong heard that he was going out, he was even more impatient, and he also took the opportunity to say, "Yes, you come with us, we will come back after a casual stroll, I haven't gone out since I came to your southern border?" ”

Lixia had no choice but to agree.

It was supposed to be lunch time, and Mama Wang had already prepared lunch, Jiang Guantong and Ji Zheng were so excited that they didn't even eat lunch because they were going out, so they left the house with Lixia Xiaoxiao.

Jiang Guantong specially changed into a white dress and wore it, for fear that wearing red clothes would be too eye-catching.

As a result, Ji Zheng opened his mouth and questioned, "Please, me and you, and Lixia Xiaoxiao, the four of us are so good-looking, can't we be good without dazzling eyes?" If the royal brother is also there, it is estimated that the entire Pucheng girl's family will go to the street to watch."

Xiaoxiao and Lixia on the side were both amused, but Jiang Guantong cooperated and raised his hand to touch his face and spoke

"What Ji Zheng said is very reasonable, no way, who made us look so beautiful" After speaking, he pretended to be very distressed and sighed, "Hey, what should I do if I'm too beautiful?" ”

Ji Zheng's expression stiffened slightly, "Guan Tong, the play is over, you can still act better than me"

Jiang Guantong said with a smile: "I'm not cooperating with you"...

Ji Zheng and Xiaoxiao helped Jiang Guantong to walk on the street, Lixia followed closely behind the three of them, and all the men and women stopped along the way and sighed "talented and beautiful" and so on. In short, the praise is endless. Ji Zheng listened to the praise of passers-by, enjoyed it very much, and nodded with satisfaction.

Then Jiang Guantong spoke, "Ji Zheng, I heard Mama say that your West Market is close to the sea, and I want to go to the beach."

"No problem, let's go, when it gets dark, we'll go around to the east, the night market in the east will be lively," Ji Zheng replied briskly.

"Okay, okay," Jiang Guantong replied without thinking.

When Lixia heard this, he immediately stepped forward to stop him, "Princess, didn't you just say it for a while?" ”

"Oh, Lixia, it's out, anyway, the royal brother won't go back so quickly today, what's wrong with us going to play?"

Lixia didn't speak, silently detoured behind the three of them.

Jiang Guantong opened his mouth and asked, "Where did your imperial brother go, I didn't see him when I got up in the morning?"

"Brother Huang, he went to Xiuyuan, today is the day of the Duan Exam, I think he should go to take the Duan Exam, it is estimated that he will not be able to come back until tomorrow"

"Duan Kao? What is it? Jiang Guantong was puzzled.

"It's that the students of Xiuyuan will be assessed every once in a while according to what you have learned, called the Duan Exam, don't look at how many times a year my imperial brother doesn't go to Xiuyuan, every time he takes the Duan Exam, he is the top of the list" Ji Zheng replied.

"Oh, I understand, it means that I will also take the test in the future" Jiang Guantong said.

"That's right, in Xiuyuan, no matter who you are, you can't hide," Ji Zheng replied.

"Then what did your imperial brother learn in Xiuyuan?" Jiang Guantong was curious.

"The way of governing the country, as well as martial arts, and, well, anyway, he will understand all the courses, Brother Huang, he is very powerful" Ji Zheng said.

Jiang Guantong nodded quietly, and secretly slandered in his heart, "It's very powerful."

Chatting and chatting when I arrived in Xishi, facing the sea, the salty sea breeze blowing, Jiang Guantong felt the oncoming sea breeze, opened his arms and closed his eyes and said, "It must be beautiful, when I can see it, let's do it again-let's do it again, I want to see with my own eyes what the sea looks like"

"Okay, we'll do it again when you can see it," Ji Zheng said

"Princess, this sea is really super beautiful, as far as the eye can see," Xiaoxiao explained.

"Well, I can feel it," Jiang replied.

Walking along the coast, the sky also darkened, and the group was about to march towards Dongshi, and when they walked through a workshop, Jiang Guantong stopped.

Ji Zheng opened his mouth and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Jiang Guantong sniffed, raised his hand and pointed to the building next to him and asked, "This is a place where salt is made?" ”

"No, the Pucheng Salt Mill is near the palace, because the supervision is extremely strict, it is impossible for them to make salt outside" Ji Zheng was puzzled.

"Then why is there a strong lo-mei smell coming out of here?"

Ji Zheng sniffed and said, "Why can't I smell it, I only smell a scent of flowers" After speaking, he turned around and asked Lixia and Xiaoxiao if they smelled the lo-mei, and both of them shook their heads. Still smiled and explained, "My princess has a better sense of smell and hearing since she lost her eyesight, and she can smell or hear anything we can't smell or hear."

"No, this smell is very strong, the reason why you can't smell it should be deliberately covered up, it's the fragrance of flowers, if I'm not mistaken, there should be a lot of flowers in the workshop" Jiang Guantong continued to sniff and spoke

"And they are all extremely fragrant, there are cloves and roses and the smell of roses Roses and roses are okay, the cloves are too strong, and there will be discomfort after smelling for a long time, it stands to reason that cloves are generally not planted in the inhabited garden, and the intensity of this fragrance is estimated to be planted in the courtyard A lot of cloves are planted."

"If it weren't for salt, it would be impossible to have such a heavy lo-mei, and it would be covered by the fragrance of flowers, and this place is close to the sea, and it is not impossible for someone to make private salt," Jiang Guantong replied.

"You mean to suspect that someone is stealing illicit salt inside," Ji Zheng asked.

Jiang Guantong nodded, and Ji Zheng said, "Then Lixia, hurry back to the palace to report"

"Wait a minute, we're just guessing now, and there is no substantial evidence, don't startle the snake, in case it's really a private salt, I'm afraid it's not that simple"

Ji Zheng nodded approvingly, raised his eyes to look at the plaque of the workshop, and said

"Dexinju, it should be the private workshop of a large family, it looks a little spacious"

Jiang Guantong seemed to think of something after hearing this, and said, "Lixia, you go over the wall to see, there are a few chimneys in this private shop, be careful not to find out about it."

Ji Zheng listened, yes, to make private salt, you must boil for a long time to make salt, if you want to make a large amount of salt, you must have a big chimney to dissipate the water vapor and smoke when boiling seawater.

Lixia jumped onto the wall, stealth his figure, and glanced inside and outside the courtyard.

Then he whispered down and said to Ji Zheng and Jiang Guantong.

"As expected by the two highnesses, there are not only chimneys in it, but also two, which are a little bigger than ordinary people's, and there are indeed a lot of cloves planted in the yard, and there is a lot of firewood, not only that, but there are also many families patrolling in turn, and they are very vigilant."

Both of them were stunned, as if they had made up their minds with a conclusion.

Then Ji Zheng said, "Let's go, I'll send you back first, and then I'll go to find my father, let's not go to Dongshi first, and there will be opportunities later."

Jiang Guantong had no objection, and the group of four walked in the direction of the palace, and when they arrived on the street, Jiang Guantong heard the vendor selling sugar gourds, and suddenly stopped and said, "Wait a minute, let's buy a few strings of sugar gourds."

Ji Zheng said, "You also like this, too, girls should like sugar gourds"

Then he stopped the hawker and asked Jiang Guantong, "How many strings do you want?"

Jiang Guantong thought for a while and said, "Six strings"

Then on the street, I saw a line of three girls who were particularly good-looking, and Lixia was walking behind with six strings of red sugar gourds alone, which was really an inexplicable picture of joy。。。。。。
