Chapter 81: Old Things
In Cilu City, after a heavy rain mixed with wind and snow, the weather was a little colder. In the ready-to-wear shops on the street, there are many more fur jackets.
The sky was still good, and the sun penetrated the clouds and sprinkled down, leaving a golden yellow.
Mo Yanxi sat up from the bed and looked at the movement in the courtyard, everything had not changed, it was as quiet as usual.
"What's wrong?"
Sakura walked in from the door with the medicine, and at a glance saw the restless person on the bed.
"I see that it's almost time, why haven't I seen any movement?"
When Sakura Niang heard this, she didn't know why, and asked in confusion: "What do you want?" It's winter now, and cats and dogs are reluctant to go out without birds. Naturally, it was quieter than usual. Yesterday, a secret guard named Daoyu specially moved the stove over, and now that you are not in good health, you have heated the stove early, and it will not be too cold. What's wrong with it? ”
Mo Yanxi sighed, moved his muscles, and swaggered off the bed.
Seeing this, Sakura Niang was taken aback, and hurriedly went over to help: "Miss, what are you...... You? Are you alright? ”
"Of course it's fine, you think I'm like that kind of sick person?"
Seeing Mo Yanxi's relaxed expression, Sakura Niang was in good spirits, and her heart was stable, but after thinking about it, she felt that it was not right, and asked out loud: "Miss... What's your way around? You're fine, aren't you? ”
Mo Yanxi took a sip of tea: "Of course it's okay, I'm calling it adding oil and vinegar, and sacrificing one or two for the sake of righteousness." ”
"Does Second Prince Su know?"
"I guess he should have understood after taking my pulse, otherwise how would he have no scruples and hype it up."
Mo Yanxi smiled, twisted his neck again, and lay on the bed for nearly two days, which was even more tiring than riding a horse for half a day.
Sakura Niang understood, and couldn't help asking, "Miss, what's going on?" ”
Mo Yanxi was about to answer, when another exclamation came from the door.
Nan Ke's eyes widened, and he stood at the door and pointed at Mo Yanxi: "Miss! You! Why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be in bed? ”
"Why, I have to stay in bed to be happy?"
Mo Yanxi raised her eyebrows, and couldn't help but tease Nan Ke.
"It's not! No! Of course not! I wish you could eat and sleep! ”
Nan Ke hurriedly waved his hand and walked in, back and forth, left and right, up and down, and looked at it carefully.
"By the way, what about Xiangxue and Mingsang?"
Mo Yanxi asked, it seems that the two of them have not been seen since noon today.
"Xiangxue has been in the stove room for several hours, I don't want to say what white fungus lily soup to do, this season, white fungus and lily are easy to say, but she has to add some gardenias, that thing, how can there be in winter. After eating, Mingsang went to help her find it. ”
"White fungus lily soup..."
Mo Yanxi silently recited these words, and the memories of his earlier days instantly came to his heart.
It seems that it was also winter, and there was a goose feather snow that year, which coincided with my grandfather's birthday. The palace sent King Yong'an to congratulate him on his birthday.
Originally, she was not qualified to participate, but fortunately her grandfather loved her, so Mo Fulin specially took her to the main courtyard.
There were a lot of people who came that day, most of them were famous ministers in the court, and the Guogong Mansion also made an exception to bring their eldest daughter Li Mengyao, who was the eldest daughter of the country, and I heard that this woman was talented, she could dance the sword and write poetry, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and was proficient in everything, in addition to the appearance of the city.
At that time, Li Mengyao was only ten years old, and she had already become a woman admired by everyone in Wenxi City. And the only one who can catch up with this kind of style is Mo Youxi of the Prime Minister's Mansion, another proud daughter of the sky who is known as Yuan Ling.
It was very snowy, and she wore white boots made by her mother, embroidered with red peony flowers and inlaid with a layer of white fluffy fox fur.
At the banquet, everyone made wine and enjoyed themselves. Mo Yanxi sat closest to the door. The contrast between the cold outside and the warmth inside is stark. Mo Yanxi felt that his body was cold and hot at the same time.
It seemed that after a long time, a teenager came outside the house, and when the young man was about to enter the door, Mo Yanxi couldn't help but sneeze.
The room was silent for an instant, Mo Yanxi raised her head and glanced at the young man, her nose was red, it seemed to be a precursor to the cold, her eyes were red and swollen, and they were covered with tears, so she didn't really look at anyone.
In my memory, the young man was a kind person, although he was cold and unsmiling, but looking at her pitiful appearance, he helped her close the door by the way.
It didn't take long for her to start to heat up, she was groggy all over, and the sound in her ears was getting farther and farther away. Mo Yanxi clenched her teeth, this is a dangerous and unfamiliar place, she will never let herself be in unknown danger.
In the main hall, drumming and singing began, and the voices were boiling, and gradually became noisy, Mo Yanxi took advantage of the little maid to serve the food and sneaked out.
The sky is high and the clouds are wide, there is no obstruction, Mo Yanxi feels that his mood is smooth, and his mood is much better.
Originally, she wanted to go back to the incense courtyard, but when she passed by a red plum forest, she was blocked by Li Mengyao.
"You, if you stain my skirt, you have to pay the price."
This was the last sentence that Mo Yanxi remembered back then, and it was also the only sentence I heard Li Mengyao say.
Mo Yanxi was thrown to the ground by two strong and powerful mothers-in-law, and those people buried her alive in the snow.
When she woke up again, Mo Yanxi had already returned to the incense courtyard, and her mother made white fungus lily soup for her, held back her tears, and fed her to drink. As for how she returned to the incense house, no one seems to know, maybe she was saved by a kind person who didn't want to cause trouble, put it at the door of the incense house, and left.
Since then, whenever there is a minor illness or disaster, Mo Yanxi will always clamoring to eat white fungus lily soup.
"Miss? What are you thinking? ”
Nan Ke stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Mo Yanxi's eyes, pulling her thoughts back.
Mo Yanxi smiled: "It's nothing, it's just that I didn't hook the fish under the river." ”
"What fish? Do you want to go fishing? This winter is really not a good day for fishing. ”
Nan Ke said with a shrunken neck.
"Naturally it's not that fish, a few days ago, I went to Riverview Town with Qi Fan and found some interesting things, all of which turned out to be the plan of Prince Su. From Fallen Leaf City, White Emperor City, and then to Cilu City, wherever there is a heavy mountain road, our whereabouts seem to be well known by them. ”
Ying Niang narrowed her eyes: "Listening to Miss's words, is it because Master Su thinks that we have the internal response of the heavy mountain road here?" ”
"That's right, that's why he thought of such a plan, he disappeared openly, but in fact, he secretly laid out a big net, just waiting for everyone in Chongshan Road to take the bait, and my move is to add some firewood, first, to dispel the hesitation of Chongshan Road, and second, to lure more people from Chongshan Road into Riverview Town, and Su Ergongzi should also understand, publicize it with great fanfare, and go to Riverview Town with many secret guards to find people in front of everyone's eyes."
Mo Yanxi sneered and continued: "And the internal response of the Chongshan Road, once he knows that the second prince of Su is going, he will naturally pass on the news, tell the people of the heavy mountain road of the hiding place of the eldest prince of Su, and send more people to take it quickly!" It's an impenetrable net of fish that voluntarily take the bait. ”
When Sakura Niang heard this, she suddenly realized: "I just said, there is a fan, and I will definitely not ask Miss You to be seriously injured and come back alone." You're right, Nanke. ”
Nan Ke paused for a moment, and then nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "That's natural, my family's fan kung fu is absolutely invincible, how can a few minions on the heavy mountain road be her opponent, but Miss, your acting is too realistic, even the old doctor was deceived by you, Xiangxue and I were all scared by you, you see... Are you waiting for this to happen, and invite us to have a big meal? Pressure shock? ”
Nan Ke spoke, blinking at Mo Yanxi with those big bright and innocent eyes.
Mo Yanxi couldn't help laughing, and coughed lightly: "This rivalry has all fallen on my head, in Riverview Town, I have folded a lot of silver tickets, and I will wait for the eldest prince Su to come back, and settle the accounts well, as for this good wine and good food... Of course, you are indispensable. ”
"Seriously!"
Nanke's eyes lit up, and he was very happy.
Seeing this, Mo Yanxi nodded.
"Great, you guys talk, I'll go tell Xiangxue and Mingsang!"
After speaking, Nan Ke was like the wind, ready to rush out.
Seeing this, Mo Yanxi hurriedly instructed: "It's good to understand this matter in your heart, but don't show your feet, and discuss everything afterwards." ”
"Miss, you still don't worry about me! The stakes are high, and I still have this bit of eyesight. ”
In Riverview Town, the sky has just dawned, the wind is clear, and the smoke of cooking can be seen floating from every household everywhere in the town.
I got up early to sweep the courtyard, but it rained heavily last night, and there was water on the streets and alleys, so the first thing the people did when they woke up was to sweep the water.
An uncle in a padded jacket rubbed his hands and spitted: "It's really strange!" How is this puddle red? There is also a smell of urine and urine! ”
When the flamboyant lady who went out at the door heard this, she looked at it and pouted: "I heard the sound of sheep crowing yesterday, and it is estimated that the group of bandits in the Zhennan Inn killed sheep in the middle of the night!" Don't you keep saying that their meat buns are delicious? Killing sheep in the middle of the night, killing and doing now, can it be delicious! ”
The uncle listened, nodded, squinted his eyes and looked at the corner in front of him, and said to himself: "This old woman can't wait to open the door day and night to attract customers on weekdays, but the weather is so good today, why don't you open the door..."
There were gradually voices on the streets, and the neighbors were talking and laughing, telling about the heavy rain last night, and interesting stories.
Above the ferry, there were fishermen who came to collect their nets. The crowd gathered together and pulled the net with great force, and the fish was so powerful that it swayed from side to side, and it took a lot of effort.
Half an hour later, the net came ashore, and the fishermen smiled when they saw that the fish were all fat, and there was a very heavy fishy smell wafting in the air.
