Qin Li took the letter in his hand and looked at it carefully. I finally remembered that I had read in a book before that there was a kind of medicinal wine that could be used to write letters.

Letters written with that kind of medicinal liquor cannot be seen unless they are smeared on paper with special medicinal liquor.

Fortunately, when she had the opportunity to go out and go to work in the pharmacy, she also looked for some medicinal materials from Hu Langzhong. When you come back, pack a little in your baggage and take it home with you.

Among the medicinal herbs she brought back, there was the Xinglin Fruit.

You have to use the Xinglin fruit to make medicinal wine, and then you can smear the medicinal wine on the paper, and you can see the handwriting written on the paper.

Qin Li stood up, opened the baggage, and took out a packet of medicinal herbs from inside.

Qinghe immediately stepped forward to help, "Miss, let's let the maid untie it and decoct the medicine for you." ”

"This medicine is not for frying." Qin Li shook his head slightly and said.

Qinghe saw that Qin Li untied the string, and quickly opened the package of medicinal materials, only to see that the medicinal materials contained in it were five fruits the size of quail eggs, pale yellow, and they looked very good.

"Maybe that's how it was eaten." Qinghe asked.

Qin Li looked in the direction where the wooden door was, but still shook his head. This fruit is not for eating.

Just considering that he was afraid that Mozhu's cheap maid would not be very conscious, and would run over to eavesdrop, he approached Qinghe's ear and said in a very soft voice:

"After I went to work in the pharmacy, my mother said that Mozhu didn't have to guard in front of my room. But Mozhu has always been restless, and unlike Moyu, he has done bad things and will not admit it. What we say, it's better to say it quietly. ”

Qinghe was very understanding, and nodded, "Okay?" Miss. If you are not at ease? The maid will go out and have a look, if she is there? The servant will drive her away. ”

"Do you use it?" A trace of disdain flashed in Qin Li's eyes? Road.

She could see that her mother didn't want to tolerate that ink bamboo anymore. Expelled Mozhu from the Qin Mansion? It's a matter of time. Before that, she just had to guard against the ink bamboo? Just don't let Mozhu overhear them.

The rest? She really didn't have to worry about anything.

Qinghe thought about it and thought that what Miss said was right, and it was really unnecessary. He replied, "Yes." ”

Qin Li looked at the five fruits and said:

"This fruit? It's not poisonous though? But the average person eats it, it is not easy to digest, and it is not good. It is used to make medicinal wine, and the brewed medicinal wine is pale yellow and can be used as ink. ”

Kiyoho at a very young age? was a servant girl in the Qin Mansion and accompanied Qin Li.

Guo taught Qin Li to read and write? Fuqin is even worse. Qin Li is studying, and her personal maid Qinghe is also learning.

Qin Li, the daughter of the Qin Mansion, can compose poems? can draw, and the maid Qinghe can also draw. It's just that Qinghe is growing up? Most of the time taking care of Qin Li? There's not much time left to study.

Do you know that Qinghe is smart? is also self-motivated, Qin Li is willing to tell Qinghe everything she knows. I thought that if one day, Qinghe met Ruyi Langjun and got married, he could also go to the pharmacy to work and earn some silver taels.

Qinghe quickly found a small ceramic wine jar, and according to the method Qin Li taught her, she took the five Xinglin fruits to make medicinal wine.

After Qinghe has brewed the medicinal wine, hide the wine jar behind the cabinet so as not to be discovered by others.

The so-called "others" do not refer to Ziqin, who often follows Guo's side and will also come to Miss's bedroom, but refers to Mozhu who has unclean hands and feet.

Lest the wine jar be discovered by Mozhu, and pour the wine in the wine jar for the young lady, Qinghe hid the wine jar.

If the medicinal wine was poured away by Mozhu, what else would the young lady think, the letter written to her by the third son?

Qinghe hid the wine jar, and soon came to the soft couch, ready to beat Qin Li's legs. Thinking that the young lady was helping out in the pharmacy, she was quite tired after a busy day.

Qin Li could see that Qinghe wanted to help her beat her legs. But she remembered that Qinghe had been injured, and in the recent period, she had to go to the abandoned firewood house to help her feed the pheasants during the day, which was very hard.

Not wanting Qinghe to be affected, Qin Li waved his hand and said:

"Let's all rest for a while."

Qinghe stood on the edge of the soft couch and said to Qin Li, "Miss, why did you only bring back five fruits?" In fact, I was looking for the smallest wine jar, and I only filled five fruits into it, which is a bit less. ”

Qin Li pursed her lips and smiled, "How many more fruits do you want to put in?" Ten? ”

Qinghe shook his head, "Ten is not too much, what's the matter, it should also be packed with fifteen fruits." ”

As soon as he heard this, Qin Li said in his heart: It's really a shame that you thought of it, Qinghe. Do you know that these five fruits are the only Xinglin fruits in Hu Ji Pharmacy.

Xinglin fruit is produced in Qizhou Prefecture, and it is also a cherished medicinal material, and under normal circumstances, it is not easy for ordinary people to buy it. As for those five fruits, they were all given to Hu Langzhong after a certain official from the imperial city came to Jiayu Mansion to find Hu Langzhong to treat him.

She helps in the pharmacy, is diligent and studious. said to Hu Langzhong that he wanted to buy some medicinal materials, and Hu Langzhong gave them to her.

"I owe a lot of favors to these five fruits. You also said that you want more than ten fruits, but I don't dare to think about it. Qin Li said to Qinghe.

A trace of embarrassment flashed in Qinghe's eyes, "Miss, you know, the maid has grown so big, it's the first time I've seen this kind of fruit, and I thought it was edible." But I didn't think about it, it was used for writing. I didn't expect that this fruit would be difficult to obtain. ”

"But the young lady has got five fruits, and in a few days the medicinal wine should be ready." The young lady will be able to see the letter written to you by the third son. As soon as Qinghe talked about this, he was happy for Qin Li.

Qin Li couldn't wait to open the wine jar immediately, pour out the medicinal wine and smear the paper, so that he could see the contents of the letter. But I also know in my heart that I can't be in a hurry.

The medicinal wine had to be soaked for at least twenty days before it could be poured out.

"It's still early, don't worry, just soak it." Qin Li was afraid that Qinghe would be in a hurry, so he said softly.

Qinghe nodded again and again, "Slave understands, miss." ”

In order to wait for the jar of medicinal wine to be brewed, Qin Li waited for twenty-two days.

Twenty-two days later, it was the end of winter.

It snowed in Jiayu City, and as far as the eye could see, it was a world covered in silver. Qin Li took a carriage to work in the pharmacy early in the morning, and Guo still accompanied her as usual.

As soon as he got into the carriage today, Qin Li listened to Guo Shi say:

"Li'er, your father came back last night and mentioned to me the letter that the third prince wrote to you."

Qin Li looked puzzled and said, "How could my father suddenly ask about this?" ”

Regarding the letter, she only told Qinghe about the fact that she had to smear the paper with medicinal wine before she could see the contents. It's not that she doesn't trust her parents, it's that they don't mention it.

She thought that her parents would not care about such small things.

Unexpectedly, her mother would ask about it this morning.

Guo Shi whispered to Qin Li, "I heard from your father that in a few days, your Uncle Shi will return to the Imperial City." He wants to help you forward the reply to the third prince before leaving Jiayu Mansion. Because after the third prince returned to the palace, he never left the palace again......"

Guo's words made Qin Li gasp twice in succession!

She didn't understand what Zhao Sheng had done wrong. After returning to the palace, he was left in the palace by his father and did not let him come out.

I had a hunch in my heart that Zhao Sheng would definitely mention his recent situation in the letter he wrote to her. I really want to know what people he met and what happened after he returned to the palace.
