Chapter 18 The Northern Wild Goose Returns to the South
Yan Shisan smiled and said, "I'm a reckless person, where can I have anything extraneous." I remember meeting an old man who said to me something very meaningful, saying that there are three realms in life, one of which is to see the mountain is the mountain, and the water is the water, and the other is to see the mountain is not the mountain, and the water is not the water. The last third thing is to look at the mountain or the mountain, to see the water or the water, I have never understood what this means, can the mountain in front of me be anything? Brother Wen, you have read a lot, you should understand what I mean. ”
Wen Ziqi was stunned for a moment, then stood up, bowed deeply at Yan Shisan, and said: "Brother Yan, every word is beautiful, it is really better to listen to your words than to read ten years of books!" Seeing that it's not early, I should go back to my room to rest, and listen to Brother Yan's diligent teachings another day! With that, he turned around and walked away quickly.
Yan Shisan picked up the teacup and tasted it carefully, listened to the back that was gradually moving away, and said with a sigh of regret: "It's just a little bit." ”
Wen Ziqi curled up on the bed, staring at the dark roof, thinking back to what had happened in the past two days, it seemed that everything was reasonable, but everything was unexpected. I thought it was just a matter of using medicinal materials to punish the Feng steward who was doing power and blessing, but I never expected that Feng steward would die violently and commit suicide. Who can break his bones and commit suicide, it seems that this murderer has an irresolvable contradiction with this Feng steward. But this person actually used the secret method known to the Qiang witch doctor to kill people, which makes people have to guard against it. Now that he has been fighting with the Qiang people for many years, he has already reached the point of not dying, and at this time, there is a person suspected of being of the Qiang nationality in Qingzhou City, how can he make people feel at ease. The people of Zhou naturally hated the Qiang people, but Ling Haoran's reaction to this matter was indeed a little too intense. And this Yan Thirteen is by no means what he sees on the surface, this person should be especially careful in the future. It's just that I don't know what Zhu Zhilian meant by letting me and Ling Haoran go to the pharmacy to find Deputy Hall Master Yao today, it's really hard to guess.
When the time came, only the painting boat on the Wei River in the whole Qingzhou City was still brightly lit and lively. However, among the many painting boats, the most luxurious one did not make any noise, and stopped there quietly as if it were a virgin. As if waiting for something, maybe waiting for his wishful husband.
From a distance, I saw a person walking out of the workshop, only to see this person holding a windproof candle lamp, the hand under the light is soft like the petals of an orchid, through the light to see this person cloud temples scattered, wearing a brocade robe, wearing a lake blue gauze inside. From afar, it looks like a fairy who has descended into the mortal dust. She held the lamp in one hand and the hanging bun in the other, and in the candlelight, the woman's eyes were as clear as a pool of clear water. At this moment, the woman was looking at the starry sky in the distance with her clear eyes. Perhaps God didn't want to overwork these clear eyes, so he sent someone in the cabin and said, "Miss, the fifth son is here to report!" ”
When the woman heard the person in the cabin say this, she withdrew her gaze from afar, and at this time, the eyes of the clear water were already rippling with tears, and the face of the bright autumn moon was also stained with tears. With a long sigh, she turned around and slowly moved into the cabin, sitting on the soft couch, she picked up a book and flipped through it, and after a while, she said coldly: "Tell me something!" ”
The maid standing in front of her lowered her head and said softly: "Yichun Tang has a life case, and the method is suspected to be from the Qiang tribe!" ”
The woman put down the scroll in her hand, looked at the maid in front of her, and said, "Qiang? So why haven't you seen any movement from the government? ”
The maid replied: "It was the local Yao Zhi County who took over the case, and this person did not find out that the case was related to the Qiang people. So I didn't do anything, I just treated it as an ordinary murder! ”
The woman smiled and said sarcastically: "If Yao takes over this case, it is estimated that it will be another confused case." What else can this person do except look for flowers and ask willows and soak in the pile of fat powder all day long? Tell me what's going on. ”
The maid thought for a while and said, "What the government said is that Steward Feng of Yichun Hall failed to commit suicide if he failed to make a courtship. But according to the report of the fifth son, this Feng steward should have been abused before his death, and finally poisoned! ”
The woman pondered for a moment and asked, "Poisoning after some abuse?" ”
The maid replied: "Exactly, after an examination, Steward Feng's limbs were all broken, and even all the internal organs were injured by different degrees of internal force!" ”
The woman thought for a while and said, "This kind of hatred is by no means an ordinary murder, can you find out who this Feng steward has offended?" ”
The maid replied: "On weekdays, this Steward Feng should not offend anyone except for greed for money and lust, there are rumors that someone complained to Yao Zhixian a few days ago that Steward Feng wanted to occupy his family's ancestral property, and then the government beat the complainant out of the government because there was no evidence, and there was no follow-up to this matter." ”
The woman nodded thoughtfully and said, "This matter is by no means as simple as what we see, you go and arrange to check whether this Steward Feng has offended anyone." With that, he picked up the scroll in his hand and read it intently.
The maid answered, and bowed back.
"The autumn wind is rising, the white clouds are flying, the grass and trees are yellow, and the geese are returning south," Ling Haoran looked at the flock of geese that had gone away and said slowly. Hearing that there seemed to be a trace of homesickness in Ling Haoran's words, Wen Ziqi comforted him: "If you want to, go back and take a look." This is human nature. ”
Ling Haoran shook his head and said, "I had an appointment with my father before I came out, and I will make some achievements in the three-year period. If you go back like this, won't you make a mockery of my brothers? ”
Wen Ziqi lowered his head and whispered: "The appointment between father and son is really envious of others. ”
Ling Haoran snorted coldly and said, "You envy me? You know, my brothers don't want me to make a career. ”
Wen Ziqi raised his head and asked puzzledly, "Why is this?" Shouldn't the more promising the brother, the more light his face will be? ”
Ling Haoran spit out a piece of dog tail grass in his mouth, and said meaningfully: "You know more about medicinal materials than me, but you don't know as well as me about human feelings!" With that, he stood up, patted the dirt on his buttocks, and walked to the front hall.
Wen Ziqi smiled slightly and said, "Pretend to be deep again!" With that, he stood up and chased after him.
Yao Bingkun looked at the two people in front of him and said kindly: "Hall Master Zhu has already told me this morning, from today onwards, you two will follow me to the pharmaceutical workshop to learn how to make medicine during the day, and then go to Hall Master Zhu at night to ask him to teach you." Now I have some important things to deal with, you two go to the side hall and wait for me for a while, and when I take care of this little matter in my hands, I will take you to the pharmacy. ”
Wen Ling and the others saluted and retreated, and walked to the side hall, where the small side hall was cleaned up by Deputy Hall Master Yao. The bookshelves against the wall on three sides are full of ancient books, and even the calligraphy and paintings on the wall are full of charm. It's amazing how many books there are. Wen Ziqi was looking around at so many books, but saw that Ling Haoran was already sitting on the table and chair pinching a berry and eating it.
Wen Ziqi glanced at the things on the table and said to Ling Haoran: "At this time, it is late autumn, and the autumn is dry, so it is better for you to eat less of this thing." Don't get sores on your mouth and tongue for the sake of a momentary appetite, and you won't even be able to eat! ”
Ling Haoran pursed his lips and said disapprelicly: "Impossible, I know this thing, I used to eat it when I was a child." I've never met what you said about sores on the tongue or anything. ”
Wen Ziqi shook his head and said, "You used to eat this thing when you were a child?" You know, this thing is said to be able to strengthen the body and prolong life, and I don't see how strong you are! "
Ling Haoran smiled, tilted his head to look at Wen Ziqi, and then pinched a fruit with his hand and said to Wen Ziqi: "This thing can prolong life?" Don't blow it blindly, this thing is called longan, isn't it just a fruit? ”
Wen Ziqi saw his expression, so he walked over and picked up a dragon's eye and said to Ling Haoran: "This thing is warm and sweet, with the effect of nourishing the heart and spleen, nourishing blood and calming the nerves. That's because it is rumored that Nezha, the third son of Chentangguan, killed the third prince of the Dragon King of the East China Sea, plucked his skin with cramps, and dug out a pair of eyes of the third prince. When he returned, he saw a young fisherman walking on the road with a sad face, Nezha stepped forward and asked why he was distressed, and the young fisherman said to Nezha that because his family was poor and it was difficult to continue three meals a day, the children in the family were weak, and Nezha gave the eyes of the third prince to the fishermen and asked him to give them to the children. The fisherman's family not only became stronger and stronger after taking this pair of eyes, but also never suffered from any more diseases, and the fisherman's family gradually became richer, and when they reached the marriageable age, they married a woman, and after marriage, they gave birth to thirteen children in a row, each of whom was a dragon and phoenix, and he lived to be more than 100 years old before he died. Soon a tree grew on his grave, and the fruit of the tree was the same as the pair of eyes, and when people heard about it, they ran to pick it, and when they ate it, they all became healthy. Because his appearance is the same as that of the two dragon eyes, people have called him dragon eyes over time. Do you understand that? I'm not bragging, these books do have records, it's just that you have studied hard for the slightest! ”
Ling Haoran looked at Wen Ziqi, who was puffing up, and hurriedly smiled: "I just said that you are blowing nonsense, your reaction surprised me a little, I didn't say I didn't believe you, I just said... ”
Halfway through the words, I saw Wen Ziqi "shh
