Chapter 44: Plum Blossoms
"What?"
The sadness on Ah A's face instantly froze, and he pulled Wu Lao's sleeve tightly, and his voice stammered, "You... What do you say? You repeat. ”
"Ah Yi, you heard it right."
Wu Lao let go of Ah Yi's hand that was getting tighter and tighter, and said with a strange look: "I have repeatedly diagnosed several times, and Gongzi's pulse is stable, although because of the excessive blood loss from the knife wound on his back, the pulse is weak, but it is indeed no longer a poisoning elephant." ”
Ah Yi clenched his fists fiercely when he heard this, and his usually bitter and hateful face couldn't help but show a hint of joy, "I'm bothering you to prescribe medicine, I'll go see my son." ”
As soon as Ah Yi finished speaking, he rushed into the house excitedly, Wu Lao couldn't help but smile and shake his head, and sighed in a low voice: "The high monk of Tingyuan Temple really lives up to his reputation. ”
As soon as Ah entered the house, his steps immediately relaxed.
The young man lying on the bed suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Come and chat with me, I can't sleep in the middle of the day." ”
"Yes, Childe."
Ah Yi answered, his eyes gestured to the black knife guard beside him, and the latter immediately retreated from the room and took care of the door.
After doing this, Ah Yi came to the bed, and when he saw his son-in-law's weak appearance, a trace of murder suddenly flashed in his eyes.
"Childe, the people last night found out, it was the people of the three princes, and the state government was reluctant to interfere."
"Li Zhaoqing is as timid as a mouse, if he dares to interfere, it will be strange."
The young man put his hands behind his head, glanced at Ah Yi, who was standing on the side of the bed, stiff as a wooden man, smiled lowly, and said:
"I know what you're thinking? The abbot of Tingyuan Temple couldn't save me, but last night's chase cured my poisonous wound by mistake. You say, should I thank His Royal Highness the Third Prince? ”
"Thank you, of course!"
Ah Yi's eyes were gloomy: "Ah Yi is willing to be a knife in the hands of the son, go and thank the third prince for saving his life!" ”
Such rebellious words came out of Ah Yi's mouth, but the young man just hummed lightly, and then there was no reaction.
Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he took out a piece of paper from his arms, carefully tore off the part with the prescription, and handed it to Ah Yi.
"Go grab the medicine."
Ah Yi took the prescription suspiciously, didn't ask more, turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by the young man again.
"By the way, how does the woman who took the fragment of your jade pendant yesterday look? Yesterday through a door, I couldn't see clearly. ”
Ah Yi was stunned for a moment, and then frowned and replied: "That woman has a simple face, and her age is similar to that of a young man. I sent someone to observe it, but it's just a young lady from a small medicinal herb family, such a woman can't get in touch with the third prince, and it shouldn't be her who leaks our whereabouts. ”
The young man couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard this, turned over and went to sleep.
Ah Yi couldn't help but scratch his head in embarrassment, did he say something wrong again?
……
In a blink of an eye, two days passed through his fingers.
In the past two days, Lu Yunqing obediently stayed in the splendid courtyard to repair the damaged jade pendant, although the Lin family often opposed her, but never came to the courtyard to make trouble, and lived a peaceful life.
The old lady was busy with the pharmacy business, but he didn't forget to ask Lu Yunqing about his activities every day, but fortunately, the old housekeeper and the old servant answered the same way, which also made the old lady feel a lot more relieved.
The Yang family doesn't even dare to enter the door of the Lu family now, as long as Lu Yunqing stays at home all the time, it will never be possible to know the truth.
In such a peaceful time, knowing that the day before the beginning of summer, Lu Yuanqing hurried home from Hanmei Academy.
"Mother, come and see! Today, the school released a notice, which is amazing! ”
As soon as the Lin family had finished his hair in a bun under the service of his subordinates, he saw Lu Yuanqing rushing in in a hurry, still holding a piece of paper in his hand.
"Yuan Qing, how can I teach you, be calm when you encounter problems, and don't be so impatient in the future."
Lin reprimanded Lu Yuanqing with a straight face, and after picking up the paper and scanning it, his face was as if he had seen a ghost.
"Two months later, Hanmei Academy will set up a women's school and recruit women as students?!"
Lin's eyes widened, and he smashed the paper on his son, "Where did you get the fake notice, it's ridiculous!" ”
"Mother, this notice is posted at the door of Hanmei Academy, it's true! The people in Luzhou City were like crazy when they heard the news, and I immediately rushed back to tell my mother. ”
Lu Yuanqing explained bitterly, and the Lin family finally had some faith.
"No way!"
Lin Shi pinched the embroidered handkerchief and thought about it, and suddenly stomped his feet, "Yuan Qing, you hurry up and talk to the old lady with me, you must not let the three girls of Jin Zhi, Yin Feng and Yun Qing find a chance, if they are allowed to enter the Hanmei Academy, your chances will be gone." ”
Lu Yuanqing smiled proudly when he heard this, shook his head and said, "Mother, Hanmei Academy is the first school in Luzhou City, how can it be so easy to enter?" Even our men can get in, but women can't do it. Mother, you're really worried. ”
"Okay, okay, my child Yuanqing is the best."
Lin lovingly wiped the fine sweat from Lu Yuanqing's forehead, "Hurry up and accompany your mother, you should go and visit your grandmother when you come back." ”
Lu Yuanqing smiled and bowed respectfully, "The child obeys." ”
After the Lin family took Lu Yuanqing to the old lady's yard, the news quickly reached the old lady's ears.
"Hanmei Academy builds a women's school?!"
The old lady was shocked when she heard this, and then her brows furrowed tightly, and she immediately ordered the old butler: "Quick! Ordered to go down, block the news, and never let the three girls receive the news. ”
"Yes, sir."
The old housekeeper's eyes flashed and he hurriedly left the yard, but the old lady was still not at ease, so he asked the old servants around him to help too.
The old servant hurried out of the courtyard, but he didn't see the figure of the old butler, and a trace of confusion flashed on his face.
"Lao Lin's speed is inevitably too fast......"
Lu Dong'er set up an eyeliner in the old lady, and received the news before the news was blocked, and her heart was suddenly certain, and her eyes were clear.
"Lu Yunqing didn't lie to me, what he said is true!"
Lu Dong'er's eyes flashed with doubt, "But what's the situation over there, the old lady?" Why did she block the news, didn't she want the young lady of the Lu Mansion to become a student of the Hanmei Academy, the lintel of the light gate? ”
This matter must be investigated and prepared early!
Lu Dong'er's eyes narrowed, she couldn't let the Lu family become an obstacle to her ascent.
After a while, Ah Liang slipped in from the secret door of the Splendid Courtyard, saw Dingchun waiting outside the door, and hurriedly walked over and said, "Dingchun, is the third lady here?" ”
"Ah Liang, why are you here? Are your injuries all healed? ”
When Dingchun saw Ah Liang, a look of surprise appeared on her face, she hadn't seen Ah Liang since the last time Ah Liang was seriously injured.
"Thanks to Miss San, the little one has been cured now."
At the mention of the third miss, Ah Liang showed an incomparably bright smile on his face, and then said, "Is the third miss here?" The old butler asked me to deliver the message. ”
As soon as Ah Liang's words fell, Lu Yunqing's voice came from inside the house.
"Come in."
Ah Liang hurriedly answered, pushed the door and entered, only to see that the third lady was in front of the embroidery frame with a focused expression on the thread into the needle.
Seeing Ah Liang come in, Lu Yunqing put down the embroidery needle, looked up and said, "What did the old housekeeper ask you to do?" ”
"There are two things."
Ah Liang took out an envelope from his arms and presented it with both hands, "This is the old housekeeper who took it from Luzhou City, saying that you will know what it is when you open it." ”
After Lu Yunqing took it, Ah Liang quickly said: "Hanmei Academy wants to build a girls' school!" The second young master came back to report the news, but the old lady wanted the old housekeeper to block the news and not let you know. ”
After Ah Liang said this, he thought that the third young lady would be extremely shocked, but he didn't want her to just nod lightly, and then ordered: "Tell the old housekeeper and let him stabilize his position, I have expected this matter for a long time, and I will see tomorrow." Since the old lady is blocking the news, it is dangerous for you to come here, so leave quickly. ”
Ah Liang was stunned for a moment, then nodded heavily, and turned to leave.
When he came, he was worried in his heart, and he was still worried about the third lady, but when he left, his heart was extremely stable.
The third lady is always so reassuring, and the original choice was really right.
After Ah Liang left, Lu Yunqing was busy in front of the embroidery frame for a while, then straightened up and stretched.
"It's finally done, Dingchun, come and see how it goes."
When Dingchun heard this, he glanced around the quiet courtyard, and then he came into the house and saw the jade pendant fixed on the embroidery frame, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he exclaimed:
"Miss, you are truly a god! Some people say that the broken mirror can't be reunited, but the broken jade pendant can be reassembled with embroidery thread in your hand, these silk threads are really beautiful, and the slave feels even better than the original jade pendant! ”
"The silk thread bought by the old housekeeper is quite pure in color."
After Lu Yunqing carefully removed the fixed silk thread, he handed the jade pendant to Dingchun, and instructed: "Let the old housekeeper send this jade pendant to the secret room of the Qing embroidery workshop tomorrow, and don't worry about anything else." ”
Dingchun nodded again and again and put away the jade pendant.
But with a matter on his mind, Lu Yunqing sat back in the back room and opened the envelope sent by Ah Liang, but a dark jade-colored plum blossom order fell out of it.
"What is this?"
Lu Yunqing looked at the plum blossom order for a moment, put it on the dresser, unfolded the letterhead, and saw the two lines of crazy handwriting left on it.
"The benefactor doesn't want to be disturbed, and naturally obeys it, but it's just a life-saving grace, and it's unforgettable!
The tired benefactor bothered to diagnose and treat, and when he woke up and searched his whole body, only this black jade plum blossom could be worthy of the life-saving benefactor below, so he didn't have to accept it. ”
Moyu Plum Blossom Order? The name is appropriate.
Lu Yunqing smiled slightly, lit and pulled the burned letter paper, picked up the plum blossom order and played with it for a while, and then threw it in the box on the dresser.
The next day, the summer is up, and the ancestors are worshipped.
As soon as the sky was bright, the old lady and the old lady of the Lu family, as well as the elders and heirs of the clan, came to the ancestral hall early to participate in the ancestral worship.
Burning incense, prostrating, lighting fires, chanting...... A series of processes went down, and the morning passed.
The old housekeeper had already prepared lunch in the front hall, and after everyone in the family was seated, the old lady let people have a feast.
Lu Yunqing had eaten a little bit of the dishes, and seeing that the atmosphere of the banquet was gradually warm, she stood up with a wine glass and said respectfully to the old lady:
"The granddaughter gave a toast to her grandfather."
"Haha, good!"
The old lady was on the rise, so she accepted this glass of wine, but after drinking it, Lu Yunqing still didn't sit down, and continued:
"My granddaughter heard from people that Hanmei Academy is preparing to recruit women as students, I wonder if my grandfather has heard of it?"
