Chapter 44: Snow and Peach Blossoms in the Tianshan Mountains
"Miss, this is going to Bashu, the mountains are high and the road is far away, just the two of us, will it not be safe?"
Ah Qing took Rong Yunxi's clothes and looked at an extremely simple pony carriage outside, and couldn't help but worry.
"There are so many families in Wudehou Mansion, why don't we bring a few?"
Rong Yunxi winked at her, "We don't have to bring it, someone protects us." ”
"Huh?"
Ah Qing's eyes widened in confusion, like a goose, but Rong Yunxi felt a burst of warmth in her heart.
Uncle Yuan Qi fine-tuned Cui away, and he should have arranged for other people to come over, but there is no news so far, and it should be protected in the dark.
"It's getting late, let's go. Let's try to come back as soon as possible. ”
Rong Yunxi and Ah Qing got into the carriage and left the capital in a hidden place on the southern outskirts of the capital.
The two sat in the carriage, Rong Yunxi was still reading the description of Cordyceps sinensis in the medical book, and Ah Qing sat on the side and yawned a little boredly, "Miss, this medicinal material is so expensive, why do you have to find it?" ”
Rong Yunxi raised his head when he heard this, "You want to ask about such a precious medicinal material, the family members must rush to it, there is no need for me to go by myself, right?" ”
Ah Qing nodded, "As long as the news is released, there must be someone looking for it." The eldest lady went alone and in person, and the slave felt that it was too dangerous. ”
Rong Yunxi closed the medical book in his hand and said with a serious face, "Actually, the main reason why I went there in person was to master the processing technology and collection of medicinal materials in the hands of Baicaotang. ”
"It's true that the news is easy to find, but we don't know whether the things we found are real medicinal materials or not, and Baicaotang will also lose a great opportunity to make money."
"After all, this is an unheard of new drug, and the medicinal value recorded is so high, if it is really as the book says, it must be hard to find."
Ah Qing's eyes changed when she looked at Rong Yunxi, "Miss, you still thought about the pharmacy of the National Medical Mansion, I couldn't think of going so far." ”
Rong Yunxi smiled and said lightly, "I couldn't have imagined it before, and I didn't even think that an official woman would go out into business, study, be an official, and conduct scientific examinations, and that a woman would marry a good husband for the rest of her life, be proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and earn a reputation of both talent and appearance, and it will pass like this." ”
"And then?"
Ah Qing asked.
Rong Yunxi's eyes fell, as if he was missing, and his words were full of damp sadness, "Later, I had a miserable dream, in which all the people closest to me died, and when I came back to my senses, I realized that even if a woman married a good husband, it was useless." ”
"Pin all your best hopes on others, and nothing will end well in the end."
Ah Qing looked at Rong Yunxi and felt a little stunned, "Eldest Lady is spoiled by so many people now, I won't have that kind of dream anymore." ”
"Hmm...... No, it won't. Her fingers rubbed lightly on the cover of the book, as if she were saying this to someone, as if she were saying it to herself.
"Later, Shopkeeper Luo took the initiative to find me, and I began to think about going out to do business."
Ah Qing laughed, "Looking at it this way, eldest lady, you may be able to enter the court as an official in the future!" There was a precedent before Daqi to open women's scientific examinations, but it was deposed during the period of the first emperor, and it is said that it was because of a legendary woman! ”
"Legendary Woman?"
Ah Qingdao seemed to remember something, his face suddenly changed slightly, and his gaze turned away, "This...... This matter has become taboo since the death of the first emperor, and the slaves and maids dare not say it. ”
Legendary Women's ...... Woman......
Rong Yunxi's mind somehow appeared with a beautiful face, "Something to do with my uncle?" ”
Ah Qing replied hesitantly, "Where can it...... How can it be related to the eldest young master of Yuanqi, don't ask, eldest lady, don't ask, it's ...... Blame me for suddenly talking to you about this kind of topic. ”
Ah Qing is now seventy-seven, one round older than Rong Yunxi, and he is the same generation as Qi Zhan.
It was impossible for her not to know that something so big happened that year, it seems that she made an order to keep her mouth shut back then.
Rong Yunxi looked at Ah Qing for a while, thinking that he couldn't ask anything, so he had to stop asking.
His eyes fell on the medical book left by his mother in front of him again, Rong Yunxi's expression became deeper and deeper, Qi Zhan was sent to guard the imperial mausoleum, why was he poisoned.
According to the relationship between Uncle Yuan Qi and Qi Zhan, Uncle Yuan Qi's medical skills are only higher than himself, and it is impossible to be lower than himself, why didn't Uncle Yuan Qi help Qi Zhan cure cold poison?
Or is this cold poison ...... It was given to Qi Zhan by Uncle Yuan Qi?!
Thinking of this, Rong Yunxi's eyes widened in disbelief, and his fingers trembled slightly as he held the footer of the medical book.
Why did Uncle Yuan Qi suddenly leave the Tai Hospital, and after being missing for five years, he won the title of the gold list in one fell swoop, and it didn't take a few years to become the youngest prime minister since the founding of the Great Qi Dynasty.
Did he do it on purpose? deliberately did not let Qi Zhan win, deliberately ...... What makes us where we are now?
But how could Uncle Yuan Qi nine years ago know what is happening now?
The more Rong Yunxi thought about it, the more cold he became, all this was too weird and unbelievable, and there was only one reason that Rong Yunxi could think of and explain smoothly.
Uncle Yuanqi was reborn after he died in the previous life, just like her.
However, Uncle Yuan Qi was reborn into the past, and Rong Yunxi didn't know how long it was, but at least the most recent time must have been nine years ago.
But is this really possible?
Rong Yunxi's mind was depressed, and his brain was a little groggy and fell asleep soon after being tired under the bumps of the carriage, and when he opened his eyes again, it was getting late, and the coachman drove the carriage to the nearest inn.
Ah Qing did as instructed and woke up Rong Yunxi, "Childe, Huaiyang has arrived." ”
Rong Yunxi was shaken awake in a daze, and was stunned for a while before she realized that she was going out this time as a woman disguised as a man, and Cuiwei helped her make a disguise technique that she almost couldn't even recognize herself.
Huaiyang belongs to Huaiyang County, located about ten miles south of the capital, Huaiyang City Gate, is the first checkpoint that Rong Yunxi and A Qing have to pass when they leave the capital.
"Ah Qing, you go and ask Xiao Er to boil hot water, I'll go upstairs first."
"Yes, Childe."
Ah Qing went to find Xiao Er, Rong Yunxi went upstairs with the burden to pack up, and when he went upstairs, he met a delicate young student.
said that he was delicate, because he was wearing a green robe, covered with a lake blue tulle gown, his long hair was tied up on the top of his head, loosely tied with a turban, a small face was white, his lips were red and his teeth were white, and his whole body was full of bookish anger when he smiled.
Rong Yunxi looked at the little boy in front of him, and for some reason he felt a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, and he looked at it twice when he passed by.
The scholar had a pair of extremely bewitching eyes, looking as beautiful as peach blossoms cutting water from a distance, and seemed to notice that Rong Yunxi was looking at him, and turned his head slightly to give Rong Yunxi a shallow and polite smile.
Rong Yunxi's face quietly crept up with a hint of redness with great reluctance, and hurriedly walked upstairs.
How can you be a strange scholar!
She pressed one hand on her chest, panting slightly, the flush on her cheeks had not yet dissipated, and she comforted herself frantically in her heart, "It must be because of a little similar to Qi Zhan, it must be like this!" ”
Thinking like this, Rong Yunxi's mood gradually calmed down, but his mind was full of Qi Zhan's figure, the sky under the twilight seemed more and more blurry and moving, and the tall maple trees outside the window were gently swaying in the wind.
Rong Yunxi lost his mind for a while, and couldn't help muttering to himself, "Just left the capital without saying a word, after that guy Qi Zhan found out, he would definitely rush over and pretend to be pitiful with great dissatisfaction, right?" ”
"Childe?"
Ah Qing's voice pulled Rong Yunxi's thoughts back suddenly, and Rong Yunxi hurriedly came back to her senses in embarrassment, "Ah Qing? Did Xiao Er's order be good? ”
"Ordered, someone will bring hot water later." Ah Qing said, but her cheeks turned red quietly, "Childe, are we really not going to eat later?" ”
Rong Yunxi raised her eyebrows, she knew what this girl was thinking, she deliberately rolled her eyes, and asked, "What's wrong?" Is the little boy downstairs so good-looking? ”
Ah Qing's face turned red all of a sudden, and he turned around shyly and covered his face, "Oh, son, what did you say!" ”
"Since I don't want to see the pretty boy, then we won't go downstairs to eat."
Rong Yunxi successfully lured Ah Qing into the hook, and as soon as Ah Qing heard this, he immediately turned around and said eagerly, "Don't you, son, didn't you see it when you went upstairs just now?" That boy is so beautiful, you really don't want to get to know him? ”
"I think that son is beautiful, and he is no match for the Seventh Prince!"
Rong Yunxi raised his eyebrows, "Seventh Prince? ”
Ah Qing seemed to realize that he had said something wrong, and his eldest lady seemed to have no good impression of the Seventh Prince, so she quickly shook her head and denied it, "No, it's nothing." The slave said the wrong thing. ”
Rong Yunxi looked at Ah Qing and said seriously, "It's nothing, you just say it, do you think that son is a little similar to the Seventh Prince?" ”
"Huh?" Hearing this, the little girl was obviously stunned for a moment, "And the Seventh Prince...... A bit similar? ”
Speaking of this, she was forced to think about it seriously, and her eyes gradually widened, "I didn't have much impression at first sight, now think about it carefully...... It does seem to be a bit similar. ”
"Where?"
Ah Qing blushed a little as he spoke, "A person as beautiful as the Seventh Prince, every gesture is different from others, so it is naturally easy to distinguish." ”
Rong Yunxi's brows furrowed slightly, "It's just like ......?" ”
"Maybe......" Ah Qing blushed, "but maybe good-looking people are like that?" ”
"Since that's the case, then let's go down and have a look," Rong Yunxi said, "Didn't that boy also go downstairs for dinner?" ”
Ah Qing's eyes lit up, and he was as happy as a bird, almost whirling in place.
When Rong Yunxi went downstairs, he glanced at the first floor of the inn, and the young man was sitting in a secluded corner, and there was a black man standing beside him, who seemed to be a man, and most of his face was covered by a black cloth.
The man in black seemed to notice Rong Yunxi's gaze, a pair of narrow Danfeng eyes stared at Rong Yunxi sharply in the blink of an eye, and she instantly felt like she was being targeted by an eagle, and a chill jumped up her spine.
The young man also seemed to notice, he raised his head and glanced in Rong Yunxi's direction, and said something to the man in black, so he stood up from his seat and walked in the direction of Rong Yunxi.
