Chapter 162: Birthmark
After locking the shop at night, Zhou Xinzhi and Du Lisheng talked about going to Mr. Wei.
"What are you looking for Mr. Wei to do?" To be honest, Du Lisheng felt uncomfortable when he thought of the little lady who was watching him before.
"I don't need a lot of herbs, you know, the supply at home is not enough, I remember that Mr. Wei has been growing herbs all year round, so I want to buy a batch from him."
Du Lisheng pondered for a while, although he knew that the little lady needed a lot of herbs every day or two, but he couldn't see the little lady take it to sell, where did the herbs go?
Zhou Xinzhi knew the doubts in his heart, gritted his teeth, and said in his ear, "I will definitely explain this matter to you when I go back." ”
The woman's delicate fragrance rushed over, making Du Lisheng's heart ripple instantly.
"Ahem, it's outside, go back." After speaking, he involuntarily quickened his pace, and now he can't wait to know the secret of the lady's heart.
In the past, he just had a different kind of love for Xin Zhi, so he preferred to respect her wishes, and he couldn't force her to tell the secret behind it, but now this love is fermenting deeper, and he even wants to monopolize her, so he doesn't want Xin Zhi to have something he doesn't know in his heart.
Back in the courtyard, Pei Shaojiu insisted on going back to make dinner by himself, and he didn't huddle with them tonight.
"Ahem, I don't know how to tell you about this, it may be a bit shocking, don't be scared."
Zhou Xinzhi swallowed her saliva, and the food bowl she was holding was a little unstable.
"I can accept that the lady is not the original Zhou Xinzhi, what else can't I accept?" Du Lisheng smiled helplessly, the little lady's idea was really interesting.
"That's right." She laughed dryly, "Actually, it's because when I came here, I had a system in my body. ”
"System? What is that? ”
Looking at Du Lisheng's puzzled appearance, she realized that this word is still very unfamiliar to this era.
"To put it simply, it's something hidden in my body, I can't see or touch it, but it can bring me a lot of convenience, and the strange ingredients you see, including most of the ingredients used in our fairy soup and soup pot, are all thanks to it."
She briefly gave a rough idea, and as for what the system was, she couldn't explain it.
"You mean, you're using these herbs for those things?"
Obviously, Du Lisheng's receptivity is much better than Zhou Xinzhi thought, and he simply deduced the meaning of her words, but it was not too difficult to accept.
"Yes." Zhou Xinzhi nodded, originally thinking that this matter would have to be explained for a while, but it turned out to be explained so simply.
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Du Lisheng's serious narrowed eyes.
"Xin Zhi, only you know and I know about this matter, don't let the rest of the people know, it's a good thing that you have this ability, but we can't rely on it all the time, otherwise it may cause you trouble in the future."
No wonder she wasn't worried about Mrs. Xu stealing the recipe for the fairy soup before, as well as the pickles that others couldn't make before, and now everything has been explained.
"I know." Her heart warmed.
If others knew, would they use her ability to do something bad, but Du Lisheng was concerned about her safety.
"And what kind of system does it have any effect on your body?"
Thinking of Xinzhi saying that the thing was in her body, Du Lisheng couldn't help but worry.
"No, although it and I are symbiotic, it will not affect our respective lives."
After explaining this, Du Lisheng also understood, and then he didn't ask much, just sandwiched some meat for her.
"After a while, let's go to the city to find a suitable house, it's really not cost-effective to keep closing the city gate in such a hurry, if we can find a suitable house, the time is too rushed, we can also stay in the house directly."
On several occasions, they went out in a hurry to close the gates, and in the end they had to fill in some silver taels for the guards guarding the city.
"It's okay, it's okay at noon these days, so I'll go to the city to inquire first."
"Okay."
This topic also stopped there, and Du Lisheng did not refuse Zhou Xinzhi's proposal to find Wei Qingsui in the end, but just offered to go with her, Zhou Xinzhi naturally had no opinion.
Early the next morning, Zhou Xinzhi and Du Lisheng went to Wei Qingsui's courtyard to discuss this matter.
"What do you mean by Mrs. Du, you want to buy a supply of medicinal herbs from me?" Wei Qingsui was a little surprised.
What does Zhou Xinzhi want to do with the supply of medicinal materials? Didn't she run a soup bath shop and a food shop?
"Yes, I recently researched a soup bath, and the guests responded well, they are all some basic medicinal materials, and the amount is not large enough on my side, and I thought that Mr. also planted here, so I thought about discussing this matter with you."
She took a sip of warm tea, smiled faintly, and began to talk nonsense in her mouth.
"I see, but it's not impossible for Mrs. Du to buy it from me, I don't know if I can borrow a step to speak? I have something to ask Mrs. Du. ”
Wei Qing thought of the news that Yang Fang brought back before, and he also had a different plan in his heart.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Du Lisheng on the side couldn't sit still, but fortunately, Zhou Xinzhi was present and stopped him in time.
"I don't know what Mr. Wei wants to know?"
She didn't say yes or no, and asked calmly.
"It's not a big deal, it's just a small favor." Wei Qingsui has always given others the feeling of a decent man and gentleman, Zhou Xinzhi didn't think much about it, put a few words in Du Lisheng's ear, and followed him into the inner room.
"If there's anything, Mr. Wei, just say it." Because she was afraid that Du Lisheng would misunderstand, she asked Du Lisheng to wait outside the courtyard, and she and Wei Qingsui stood at the door and whispered.
"I hope to tell Mrs. Du about this, you don't want to spread it."
Wei Qingsui's sudden serious tone made her stunned, and after thinking for a while, she still nodded.
"I want to ask the little lady to help me see if there is a birthmark on Mr. Du's left shoulder blade, which is similar to the shape of a butterfly." He spoke.
Who knew that Zhou Xinzhi shook her head with a serious face, "If that's the case, then I can't help with this favor, as for the medicinal materials, it's the same for me to enter from the city's Chinese medicine shop." ”
After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait, I didn't make it clear, if Mrs. Du has any concerns, Wei is also here to say sorry to you."
"It's not a concern, what you want me to check, it's my husband."
"Mr. Wei thinks, why should I help you investigate my husband's affairs? Even if I need herbs, I can go to the pharmacy in the city and buy them. ”
After saying that, she turned around and was about to leave, but Wei Qing hurriedly stopped her when she saw this.
"It's me who is abrupt, but this matter is a big matter, and I really can't help it, I can't explain the specific reason, but Mrs. Du can trust Wei, I will definitely not harm you."
He spoke sincerely and assured, but he couldn't shake half of Zhou Xinzhi's mind at all.
She still shook her head, "Needless to say, I don't know who you are, and I don't know what you're investigating, but Du Lisheng is my husband, and this is also my last limit, so I'm going to bother today." ”
I used to think that this Mr. Wei looked like a dog, and he was still like that, but when he looked at it today, he was also a sanctimonious person, how did he think of asking someone else's lady to investigate for him? It's laughable.
"Let's go, go back, wait until today to go to Mr. Wen's side to ask for some medicines, I see that there is still some place in the backyard, just plant it."
"What's going on? But Mr. Wei's request was too much? ”
As soon as Du Lisheng thought of this possibility, he couldn't wait to rush over and beat him up.
"No, it's just that there are some requests about you, I can't agree, don't mention this matter again, and we won't have to contact more in the future."
Zhou Xinzhi had a strange feeling, from the very beginning, Wei Qingsui seemed to have been paying attention to Du Lisheng's movements, could it be that her husband really had a different identity?
Thinking of this, she shook off the thoughts in her head, what different identity could she have.
"What about me?" As soon as he heard that it was about himself, Du Lisheng was even more confused, he suddenly thought of the appearance of Wei Qing chasing after him to see the scars on his hands before, his brows were furrowed, he really couldn't figure it out.
"You want me to see if you have a butterfly-shaped birthmark on your shoulder."
She didn't hide it, after all, this matter is also about Du Lisheng, so it's good to let him know.
"It's this, that's going to disappoint him, I don't have this mark at all." Du Lisheng said with a smile.
It's just that his heart is tight, he naturally knows the birthmark on the shoulder blade on his back, but why can Wei Qing say it accurately? What is he?
After the two of them left, Wei Qing came to Yang Fang's side, his eyebrows lowered in disappointment.
"What, no progress?" Yang Fang was not surprised at all, this matter was in a hurry.
"Well, if you only have one clue, you can't continue the investigation now."
He sighed and shook his head in frustration.
Seeing him like this, Yang Fang laughed in a low voice for a moment, "Your Majesty knew that you would die on the tip of the bull's horns, and specially asked me to tell you, this matter is not urgent, the situation in the imperial city is not good, several princes are eyeing the throne, and if you find it at this time, you must be very careful." ”
Wei Qing nodded casually, he naturally knew.
"Take your time, since you can't start with the birthmark, let's investigate, after disappearing from the palace, where was King Yi taken, and who took him out, Chongzhou is not close to here, do you think it is possible for the little prince to walk here?"
"But it's been so many years since this matter, how can I investigate?"
Wei Qingsui didn't think about it, but this was more than ten years ago, and the palace was burned to the point that there was nothing left, and the palace people of that year, the dead, the old, and some were assigned to other dormitories, and there was no way to start.
"There's a way." Yang Fang hooked his fingers, motioned for him to come over, and then whispered something in his ear.
