Chapter 68: Reading the Letter
She wanted to go to the miscellaneous room and find the broom and get rid of the long-tongued woman. The woman commented that Fu Gongzi did not propose to her to withdraw from the family affairs, either accepting the hairpin presented by Miss Li, or playing with Miss Chu, and she didn't mind.
But she didn't want to hear the woman mention the prince.
The prince of the Daning Dynasty currently has only one third prince, that is, Zhao Sheng.
When the woman said that the prince was about to get married, she always felt that it was very inappropriate. How can ordinary people know about the affairs of other royal family members?
Even if what the woman said was true, it wouldn't be good to talk to others in the pharmacy, right?
A young man coughed and said to the woman who had spoken before:
"You are in Jiayu Mansion, and Yu Xiang is in the Imperial City. Even if your nephew came back from the Imperial City in September, it would not be easy for him to know what happened in the Imperial Palace. How do you know that the prince is getting married? ”
The woman looked at the young man, and with a hint of displeasure in her eyes, she said:
"What the old man said was all from a friend of the prefect of Chu. The old man also said that Chu Zhifu is a relative of Yu Xiang, and that person listened to what Chu Zhifu said, and there will be no fake. ”
The women standing behind the woman listened, and they were all talking about the young man, who was really in charge.
The young man looked embarrassed, and after taking the packet of medicine handed to him by the doctor, he hurriedly left the pharmacy.
As soon as the young man walked out of the pharmacy, the woman talked to the other women about the possibility that Yu Xiang's daughter might become the princess of the prince.
After saying that there was a pillar of incense, the women left the pharmacy together.
As soon as Qin Li heard the news that the prince was about to get married, he felt inexplicably lost in his heart.
Before this, she had always regarded Zhao Sheng, the prince of the princess, as a confidant and friend, and he had a life-saving grace for her, and she wanted to repay the favor. So she also thought about what kind of gifts she should give to Zhao Sheng if she married her daughter-in-law.
Because the savior is getting married, this is a great joy, and I have to congratulate them.
It's just that when she thought about it, her mother told her early this morning that Zhao Sheng was left by his father after returning to the palace, and it was difficult to make a trip.
It is inevitable that he thinks in his heart that Zhao Sheng marries the princess, and he is afraid that he can't really choose it himself. Then, it is difficult to say whether he can marry the woman he likes.
He once said that he would only marry once in his life, and there would only be his wife and a mistress in the family, and there would be no other women around him.
What a good son, what a dedicated prince.
If Zhao Sheng is such a good man, he can't marry the woman he likes, but he still has to keep his promise and marry only once, can he still be happy?
Of course not!
Qin Li was in a bad mood because of Zhao Sheng's marriage. However, because there were many customers in the pharmacy, she and another doctor were also quite busy sorting out medicinal materials by the cabinet.
When I'm busy, I don't have much time to think about my own business.
When it was time to call it a day, Qin Li carried his baggage and hurriedly walked out of the door of the pharmacy. I can't wait to take the carriage home immediately, so that I can pour out the medicine and wine to see what is written in the letters that Zhao Sheng wrote to her.
Qin Li walked out of the pharmacy and saw Guo Shi, who came to hold an umbrella for her and take her home.
The mother and daughter rode in the same carriage, chatted for a while, and then returned home.
When he got home, as soon as Qin Li walked into the hall, he said to Guo: "Mother, I am sorting out the medicinal materials in the pharmacy today, and the clothes are full of medicinal smells. ”
"Okay, Li'er, Daddy and Mom will wait for you to come, and then we will have dinner together. You don't have to rush. Guo Shi reached out and patted Qin Li's shoulder and said.
Qin Li thought about going back to the bedroom to pour medicine and wine, so that she could open the letter that Zhao Sheng wrote to her. Although I was standing in the hall at this moment, my thoughts drifted away.
After Guo patted her on the shoulder, her heart sank. No matter how much I think about that letter, I can't let my parents wait for me to eat.
"Mother, I'll go change my clothes, I'll be here soon."
Qin Li said that, hurriedly left the hall and returned to the bedroom.
In the bedroom, the first thing Qin Li did was to find out the jar of medicinal wine that Qinghe helped her brew. A small cup was poured and placed on the coffee table.
The medicinal liquor in the cup is pale yellow I color, exuding a slight fragrance. Qin Li likes to smell this fragrance, it feels like the fragrance of lemon.
She took a deep breath of air, opened the small wooden box, and found the letter that Zhao Sheng had written to her earlier. I took out the paper inside, spread it out one by one, put it on the coffee table, and couldn't wait to pour some medicinal wine on the paper.
In just a moment, the pale yellow I paper was soaked by the pale yellow I medicinal wine, and Qin Li saw the handwriting written on the paper.
The first two big words that caught her eye were:
[A-Li].
The color of the handwriting is dark yellow I.
The handwriting on the paper is written through the back of the paper, flowing and free, and every word is written beautifully. Qin Li only looked at the handwriting written on the paper, and he could know that it was written by Zhao Sheng himself.
Because before that, she had seen Zhao Sheng's handwriting, and most of them were like this.
Consider that once the medicinal wine is soaked on the paper, the handwriting written on the paper will gradually fade until it is too faint to be recognized.
In order not to affect the reading of the letter, Qin Li hurriedly read the letter, found out a clean set of clothes and changed into it, and went to the warm pavilion for dinner.
In the warm pavilion, only Ziqin stood there, and as soon as Qin Li walked into the warm pavilion, Ziqin retreated with interest.
Qin Li didn't hide anything from her parents, and after Ziqin walked out of the room, she took out the letter so that her parents could also see it.
Of course, just looked at the handwriting written on the first sheet of paper.
Guo and Qin Yi saw this kind of letter for the first time, and after reading it for a while, the handwriting faded, and then they couldn't read it. The couple couldn't help but exchange glances with each other:
It turns out that Li'er is quite talented in studying medicine. Don't talk about anything else, just talk about reading letters with medicine and wine, and the two elders only knew about it.
Guo Shi helped Qin Li fill a bowl of fish soup, and motioned to Qin Li with his eyes: drink some fish soup first, and then read the letter.
"Drink some fish soup, it's delicious. This fish, but I asked the cook to go to the vegetable market in the morning to pick it up, and I specially bought it for Li'er to cook soup and drink. You drink more. ”
"Okay, thank you, Daddy." Qin Li listened to Guo's words, and hurriedly drank the fish soup, which was really delicious.
Qin Li gently put down the letter, served a bowl of fish soup to Guo and Qin Yi, and persuaded them to drink some too. Then he picked up the letter and read it carefully.
It took nearly a pillar of incense to read the letter. Qin Li breathed a sigh of relief.
Guo Shi saw that the paper Qin Li was holding in his hand had turned pale yellow I color again, and he couldn't help but feel worried about Qin Li, and asked softly, "Is this still kept?" If someone picks it up and soaks it in medicinal wine, you can see it. ”
"I can't." Qin Li shook his head slightly, and told Guo truthfully:
"The handwriting written with this medicinal wine can only be read once. After reading it, no matter how much medicinal wine anyone soaked it in, they couldn't see the handwriting on it. ”
With that, he brought the paper close to the tip of his nose and sniffed it again. The lemon scent is still there, but it's a little lighter than before.
Qin Li crumpled the paper into a ball vigorously, tried his best to hide some emotions in his heart, and threw the letter into the brazier and burned it as soon as he raised his hand.
