Amber was shocked, and nodded in response, "Yes! Right! It's sheep intestines! ”

Chu Qianhuang smiled faintly, and continued to drink the cup of tea with candied apricot meat, the clouds were light and the wind was light.

Chu Qianchen also smiled, and learned from Chu Qianhuang's appearance and threw a candied apricot meat into the tea, and his mind moved quickly: sheep intestines? So what?

She was sure that there was absolutely no sheep intestine in the medical books she had read in her two lives, and Master Lin Miao also didn't know sheep intestines.

Looking at Chu Qianhuang's expression, it wasn't nonsense, so how did she know?

A strange light flashed under Chu Qianchen's eyes, and it disappeared in a flash.

She wiped the corners of her lips with a handkerchief, looking forward to it, revealing the girl's agility and charm.

"Sheep intestines, is it made from sheep intestines?" She asked curiously, "I've never heard of that." ”

She specially instructed Amber to go to Jishitang to inquire about the sutures with the intention of setting up Chu Qianhuang, to be honest, she only had four or five percent certainty in her heart, and wanted to test if she could get some from Chu Qianhuang's mouth.

It's really rewarding!

Chu Qianchen pressed the joy in his heart, and his appearance was still smiling innocently, and his eyebrows and eyes were stretched.

Amber tacitly said, "Princess, do you want the slave to go over and ask Doctor Liu of Jishitang again?" ”

The master and servant sang and harmonized, and no one showed the slightest abnormality, as if Dr. Liu really told Amber Sheep Gut.

Chu Qianhuang felt that the sheep intestines were not a big deal, so he stopped Amber, "The sheep intestines are indeed made of sheep intestines, and in addition, beef intestines are actually okay." ”

"I see." Chu Qianchen looked at Chu Qianhuang with admiration, and his eyes and expression seemed to say, eldest sister, you know so much.

Amber lowered her eyes silently again, feeling that her princess's acting skills were simply perfect, and she was free to retract.

Chu Qianhuang was looked at by Chu Qianchen like this, so he said a few more words: "It's not difficult to make sheep intestines, as long as the tanning is dry, and then made into thread." ”

"I also heard from a doctor by chance, and I don't know it in detail." Chu Qianhuang added one more sentence.

Chu Qianchen drank the sweet and sour chrysanthemum tea, while listening carefully, chewing every word of Chu Qianhuang.

Chu Qianhuang said that the steps of making sheep intestines were very vague, and there was a certain jump.

I'm afraid she only knows a rough idea, and that's all she knows.

Although there is still some pity in her heart, her harvest today has actually far exceeded her expectations.

Chu Qianchen no longer revolved around the topic of sheep intestines, and sighed appropriately: "There are really no surprises in this world, and today I really opened my eyes." ”

She drank tea again and chatted with Chu Qianhuang without pain, and the topic was the snacks around the table and the incense lit in the private seat.

Amber knew that her master's goal had been achieved today, so she glanced at the pot leak on the side and said with a smile: "Princess, at this time, the jujube paste cake of Tang Shuji next door is about to be baked." ”

"Tang Shuji's jujube paste cake only sells ten times a day, and it has always been in short supply." Chu Qianhuang answered casually.

Chu Qianchen said with a smile: "I came out today for this jujube pastry, I bought it later, and asked Amber to send a box to my eldest sister." ”

Chu Qianhuang politely responded.

Chu Qianchen took three boxes of candied apricot meat from Yunting Pavilion and left, the master and servant first went to Tang Shuji next door to buy jujube pastry, she got into the carriage herself, and only told Amber to deliver jujube pastry for her.

Chu Qianchen's fingers opened the corner of the curtain, looking at the Yunting Pavilion in front of him and Amber's back, his eyes flickering.

Her mind was still thinking about the sheep intestines that Chu Qianhuang said.

Can sheep intestines really be used as threads for sews and wounds?

Today's conversation with Chu Qianhuang, Chu Qianchen felt that he had gained a lot.

Not only because of the sheep intestines, but also made her finally affirm that Chu Qianhuang really had some chances.

Maybe she's been relived like herself, or maybe she'......

Chu Qianchen's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, echoing in his ears like a drum.

Or, borrowing corpses to resurrect souls?!

Chu Qianchen's pupils shrank sharply, and his eyes were so deep that they seemed to melt into the boundless dark night.

At this moment, Amber, who had finished delivering the jujube paste, came back with a light step.

The carriage stepped on the return journey and went straight back to King Chen's mansion.

After returning to the palace, Chu Qianchen asked Amber to find a sheep intestine.

In winter, it is advisable to eat mutton tonic, but now it is August, and in addition to goat's milk, there is neither mutton, nor mutton scorpions, nor sheep intestines in the kitchen.

Amber simply went to the Sui Steward, and the Sui Steward was stunned, but he did not question the princess's orders, and found the five pieces of sheep intestines as quickly as possible, and specially asked the kitchen to be carefully cleaned several times before sending the cleaned sheep intestines to the main courtyard.

The raw sheep intestines look white and soft and greasy, like a white worm, even if they have been cleaned many times, they still exude a peculiar smell.

A few little maids in the main courtyard covered their noses uncomfortably, and they really couldn't figure out what the princess was doing to give birth to sheep intestines.

Chu Qianchen carefully studied the raw sheep intestines, thinking back to what Chu Qianhuang said, she said that the sheep intestines can be made into sheep intestines after tanning, but she should know very generally, and she has to explore the details step by step.

Chu Qianchen thought about it and ordered Amber to take the casing.

The step of taking the casing is simple, and without Chu Qianchen doing it himself, Amber can help her get it, and deliberately according to different methods, it is thick and thin.

Chu Qianchen had no books to refer to, so he could only temporarily link the "tanned" sheep intestines with the tanned fur, assuming that their essence was similar.

Therefore, the first step in the tanning process should be "immersion".

She took a whole piece of raw sheep intestine and four other different casings and prepared them in salt water and ash water at different temperatures, and told Amber to record them, and she planned to soak them for three to twelve hours.

Chu Qianchen was very patient, she had no basis to refer to, so she was also mentally prepared to fail many times.

The way of medicine is originally to make new discoveries through repeated attempts, just like the ancient Shennong tasted a hundred herbs.

Leaving those sheep intestines in the pharmacy, Chu Qianchen cleaned his hands and went to the small study.

She walked straight to the bookcase by the window and dripped water on the inkstone with an inkstone.

Seeing her like this, Amber knew that the princess was going to polish the ink by herself, so she didn't go forward, and went to do something else first.

Chu Qianchen personally laid the paper and polished the ink, and then took the pen.

When Amber came back from making tea, he saw Chu Qianchen writing with an elegant posture.

Her posture and movements are indescribably good-looking, just like a picture of a lady painted by a famous artist.

Amber originally thought that Chu Qianchen was sorting out the preparation method of sheep intestines, but when she walked to Chu Qianchen's side, she found that what the princess wrote had nothing to do with sheep intestines.

What is written on the paper is all "nine", "nine" in various fonts, italics, official script, hairpin flower small block, cursive, line script......

Amber was stunned and hooked her lips, thinking that the princess must be missing the princess.

A smile gleamed in Amber's eyes.

At this time, Chu Qianchen finished writing a page of "nine" and put away the pen.

Chu Qianchen looked at the "nine" on this page, sighed, and said to himself in a low voice: "I still have to practice again." ”

Amber put down the teacup and couldn't help but say, "Princess, you have written very well!" ”

The strokes of "nine" are simple, the simpler the strokes, the more difficult it is to write, and every "nine" character in Chu Qianchen's pen is very good-looking, enough to be used as a copybook.

Chu Qianchen put the wolf pen on the pen rest, looked at Amber with a strange look, and sighed again, "You don't know...... Here's the homework. ”

Chu Qianchen couldn't help but think of what Gu Jue said before leaving, and he gave her homework.

He said that when he returned, he hoped to hear her call him by name.

Nine, Yao.

Chu Qianchen thought about Gu Jue's words in his heart, and felt that it was too difficult.

"I'll have to practice again." Chu Qianchen muttered to himself, sat down, and picked up the hot tea that Amber had just served.

Amber blinked slowly, and said in her heart: What does this mean, princess? Did the prince assign her homework and ask her to write "nine"? Is this to write "one hundred and nine pictures"?

After Chu Qianchen took two sips of tea, he put down the teacup and looked out the window.

The sky had already darkened, and the dark night sky was full of stars, surrounding the silver moon.

Chu Qianchen looked at Jiaoyue and whispered, "He should be almost there, right?" ”

It is conceivable that the "he" that Chu Qianchen said was of course referring to Gu Jue, Amber pinched his fingers and calculated, "Princess, the prince should not have arrived yet." ”

Chu Qianchen did not refute and looked in the northwest direction.

Moments later, she was back at the pharmacy.

Without Gu Jue watching, as soon as Chu Qianchen got busy, he was engrossed in forgetting the time again, and he didn't stop until the next day.

Not only did Chu Qianchen stay awake all night, but Gu Jue was also half a catty.

As Chu Qianchen estimated, at this moment, Gu Jue had already arrived in the northwest, thousands of miles away.

He and Wuhe Jialou were separated three days ago, Gu Jue did not go out of Beijing this time to escort Jialou, and Jialou's proposal to let Gu Jue "escort" was not really for him to escort.

Soon after they left the capital, Gu Jue separated from Wuhe Jialou and his party, and he himself took Mo Shen to the northwest with light clothes.

He had to go back to meet him with Uhagaru after this trip, so he traveled day and night along the way.

When he arrived at the Nanyang Army camp, the sky had just revealed the whiteness of the fish's belly.

Qin Yao was overjoyed when he heard that Gu Jue was coming, if it weren't for the inconvenience of his legs and feet, he would have gone to greet him in person.

"Brother Jiu, why are you here!" Qin Yao looked at Gu Jue in surprise.

Gu Jue was dressed in a moon-white robe, with a faint smile, and a slightly green stubble on his smooth chin on weekdays, which made the face carefully outlined by the painter a little more uninhibited.

Qin Yao had just gotten up, and he hadn't cleaned himself up seriously, the ponytail on the back of his head was a little crooked, and a few strands of broken hair fell on his cheeks, and the robe on his body was not upright, and he casually put on a purple straight jacket with a loose neckline.

At first glance, it doesn't look like the prince of Nanyang, who is in charge of the first army, but more like a prodigal son who lingers in the Qinlou Chu Pavilion.

The last time Gu Jue left the northwest, Qin Yao was still in a wheelchair, but now, he can not only stand, but also walk. Moreover, in the past month or so, he has also completely regained the military power of the Northwest Army.

"Brother Jiu, Sister-in-law's medical skills are really amazing, you see, I can already go, and after a while, I should be able to run." Qin Yao said with a smile, but he didn't go around in circles in front of Gu Jue.

Qin Yao personally greeted Gu Jue to sit down, ordered people to serve tea, and asked people to prepare snacks, and praised the skills of their Nanyang military camp chef, saying that Tang Yuchu didn't come this time.

As he sat down, a piece of letter paper floated down from his cuff and fell to the ground flutteringly.

Qin Yao's smile stiffened slightly, his face changed, and he immediately leaned over and picked up the letter.

Gu Jue asked directly, "What's wrong?" He had already seen that something was wrong with Qin Yao.

Qin Yao didn't answer, but directly handed the letter in his hand to Gu Jue.

Gu Jue also watched it.

The purpose is a handful of beautiful handwriting, from the hand of Princess Nanyang.

And this letter should be regarded as an excerpt, it is Princess Nanyang who sued Qin Yao for killing her father and brother in her name, and every word in it is heart-wrenching. Obviously, Princess Nanyang has regarded Qin Yao's son as an enemy, not a son.

If this letter is really delivered to the capital, it will become a handle in the hands of the emperor, even if there are other Nanyang army soldiers to defend Qin Yao, it will also make Qin Yao's reputation flawed, then the advantage that Gu Jue created for Qin Yao will be in vain.

Fortunately, Qin Yao's people found and stopped the letter in time.

After Gu Jue finished reading the letter, he put the letter paper on the wishful small square table between the two.

Qin Yao personally poured tea for Gu Jue, and the two drank a cup of each other, everything was silent.

Gu Jue didn't comfort Qin Yao, and Qin Yao didn't need him to comfort him.

After going through so many things, what is Qin Yao can't see, people can't choose their parents and brothers. No matter what happened, he knew he wasn't alone.

That's enough.

"Ninth brother," Qin Yao suddenly smiled at Gu Jue, "I said that you are newly married Yan'er, why did you come to the northwest, and if you leave your ninth sister-in-law alone in the capital, you are not afraid that the emperor will bully her?" ”

Gu Jue thought about Chu Qianchen's two faces both externally and internally, and couldn't help but smile slightly, and he didn't know if this girl had stayed up late while he was away.

There were candles lit in the tent, and the dim candlelight gilded Gu Jue's body with a faint soft light, making his cold eyebrows and eyes look a lot warmer.

"Do you think she'll be bullied?" Gu Jue asked rhetorically, with a very light and shallow smile on his lips.

Qin Yao: "......"

Qin Yao touched his chin and said honestly, "No." ”

In Qin Yao's heart, Chu Qianchen is no longer an ordinary woman, she is his ninth sister-in-law, can the ninth sister-in-law be a mortal?

He also laughed, feeling as if he had been fed a mouthful of sugar, and once again shouted for Su Mubai's wise vision in his heart.

This is a wonderful family!

Gu Jue narrowed his long and narrow eyes, took two sips of tea, and asked, "Has Chu Lingxiao already arrived?" ”

Qin Yao almost choked on the tea in his mouth, and said in his heart: Brother Jiu cares so much about Chu Lingxiao, is it because this is his father-in-law?

After swallowing the tea, he bowed his head and said, "It's here." ”

"I arrived half a month ago, and I was arrogantly asked to go over to see him as a messenger."

"I ignored him."

What about the emperor's Qincha, Qin Yao will not take it seriously.

However, because Chu Lingxiao was Gu Jue's father-in-law, Qin Yao also treated him coldly, ignored him, and did not directly make Chu Lingxiao faceless.

Qin Yao yawned lazily and teased jokingly: "Brother Jiu, you won't come here to 'support' your father-in-law, right?" ”

Qin Yao just teased casually, but he didn't expect Gu Jue to nod: "I'm here to see him." ”

Qin Yao's sword eyebrows were raised, and all the sleepy insects ran away, and the whole person was suddenly refreshed.

Interesting, interesting.

He sat down and slumped on the Taishi's chair, casually touching his chin.

With Qin Yao's understanding of Gu Jue, of course he wouldn't really think that Gu Jue had come all the way to the northwest to support Chu Lingxiao.

If you think about it with your toes, you know that if Gu Jue really has the heart to help him, his father-in-law, he can completely destroy Chu Lingxiao's errand when he is in the capital, and he doesn't have to let Chu Lingxiao come to the northwest.

Qin Yao's thoughts spun quickly, and suddenly a flash of inspiration occurred.

I heard that the ninth sister-in-law had a hard time in her mother's house in the past, so the ninth brother traveled so far to carry the emperor on his back and ran this time, was it not to support the ninth sister-in-law?

Thinking about it this way, Qin Yao figured out another thing.

"Brother Jiu, Chu Lingxiao shouldn't have been brought by you, right?" Qin Yao's intuition has always been amazing.

Gu Jue didn't intend to hide it from Qin Yao, so he responded bluntly.

Qin Yao straightened his upper body and was happy.

His fox eyes shone brightly, his gossip heart was uplifted, and he said proudly: "Ninth brother, I'll go get Chu Lingxiao!" ”

"Not necessarily." Gu Jue stopped him, "Don't worry, Chu Lingxiao shouldn't be able to stay up." ”

Chu Lingxiao has been left to dry for so long, he must be unable to bear it, it is better to let him move by himself, it is better than Qin Yao to move first.

Gu Jue's pupils were as dark as ink, as if there was a ghostly light flowing under his eyes.

Qin Yao silently swept Chu Lingxiao tears of sympathy, and he didn't know what method the ninth brother had thought of to toss Chu Lingxiao.

Judging from his experience with Brother Nine for so many years, anyone who is remembered by Brother Nine has nothing to do.

Qin Yao has known Gu Jue for nearly ten years, he knew Gu Jue long before he joined the army at the age of fifteen, and the two of them were also young and frivolous, and he has also witnessed some changes in Gu Jue over the years, but in Qin Yao's view, Gu Jue's essence has not changed.

For example, Gu Jue will definitely not suffer a loss, if he wants to teach someone, he has to ask that person to repent of going through this world.

For example, Gu Jue is very short, as long as he recognizes him as his own, he will be protected by him.

His ninth sister-in-law has an unusual status in Gu Jue's heart.

The more extraordinary it is, the more it means that there is a good show to watch.

Qin Yao's heart was like a cat scratching its paws, both curious and expectant.

He has lived in the barracks for so long, and his whole body is almost moldy, and he finally has a good show to watch.

For the next good show, Qin Yao reluctantly suppressed some of the impatience in his heart, smiled and leaned his face in Gu Jue's direction, and asked, "Ninth brother, how did Chu Lingxiao provoke you...... And the ninth sister-in-law? ”

He was sure that this matter must not be small.

The two have a lifelong friendship, since Gu Jue has brought Chu Lingxiao to the northwest, he has no intention of hiding it from Qin Yao, besides, Chu Qianchen's life experience is not an unsightly secret, and it will be revealed sooner or later.

Rao is Qin Yao was also dumbfounded, his heart was a little complicated, sighing, emotional, and even had a subtle trace of sympathy.

The ninth sister-in-law is not disabled in this situation, and she is really not a mortal.

Qin Yao glanced at the letter on Xiao Fangji, and laughed at himself: "I always thought I was quite miserable, but I didn't expect the ninth sister-in-law to be even worse." ”

He's a big man, and he's fallen to the point of being miserable with others!

Qin Yao thought about it, and sneered, with a bit of open-mindedness in his smile.

He picked up the letter and lit a corner with a candle, and the flames soon spread across the silk, staining it to ashes.

Qin Yao blew casually, and those ashes scattered and floated down in mid-air.

For his mother, he no longer demanded it.

Qin Yao left Princess Nanyang behind in a blink of an eye, and talked to Gu Jue about business: "Brother Jiu, I'll let you see a good thing." ”

Qin Yao glanced at the little ingot, and the ingots immediately understood, went to get a parchment map, and spread it on the huge bookcase.

"Look at this new map!" Qin Yao showed off this new map.

Since Gu Jue led his troops to annihilate the Lin army that raided the northwest last time, the Lin people were afraid and took the initiative to sue for peace, cutting land and paying compensation, which expanded the map of the northwest a lot.

Qin Yao's new map not only includes the land cession of the Lin Kingdom, but also draws some small countries and small clans in the north and the surrounding areas.

"Brother Jiu, as long as we lay down this area again, we can connect the northwest and the north." Qin Yao stretched out his finger and gestured on the map, his eyes flashing with ambitious fire.

At that time, the emperor would not dare to attack the Chenwang Mansion and the Beidi Army easily.

Of course, Qin Yao knew that Gu Jue didn't like the capital, and he only returned to Beijing because Empress Dowager Yin was still in the palace. As long as they are strong enough, it is completely possible for the emperor to agree that Gu Jue will take the Empress Dowager Yin to the north together, and they will no longer have to be trapped in the capital and be tied.

"I'll leave the northwest to me." Qin Yao said again, "Brother Jiu, the emperor didn't stumble on you again......"

Qin Yao said half of it, and felt that he was salty and eating radishes. Although Gu Jue had scruples because of Empress Dowager Yin and his secret injuries, he was never a person who would suffer.

Gu Jue smiled slightly, and said lightly: "Next, I will transfer 30,000 Xuanjia troops to the capital." ”

Qin Yao was so shocked that his jaw was about to fall, and he asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Gu Jue said in a few words, Qin Yao's eyes became brighter and brighter when he heard it, he didn't expect Gu Jue to exchange such a big benefit with the emperor.

The 60,000 Xuanjia Army is enough to be able to reach the elite of ten, even if it is forced to the palace, it can be a try.

Just thinking about it, Qin Yao felt his blood boiling.

Qin Yao's eyes burned at Gu Jue, and the anticipation in his eyes was so thick that it was about to overflow.

However, Gu Jue's response was to shake his head.

knows each other like Gu Jue and Qin Yao, and they don't need to say anything else to understand each other's meaning.

Qin Yao, who had originally straightened his waist, was like a plant and tree lacking water, wilted again, and leaned lazily on the chair.

Yuan Bao went out for a trip, and when he came back, he not only brought back a heavy food box, but also brought a message: "Lord Shizi, Marquis Yongding is asking to see you outside the barracks." ”

Qin Yao suddenly became energetic again, and looked at Gu Jue with a smile, "Hey, he really can't hold his breath." ”

Between the words, Qin Yao smiled a little gloatingly. The show came out so quickly.

Chu Lingxiao has been in Nanyang for some time, and these days, although Qin Yao has ignored him, it is impossible to let him wander around in Nanyang, and secretly send people to keep an eye on his every move.

Chu Lingxiao has not settled down these days, and has secretly inquired about many officers and soldiers of the Nanyang Army, and met some of them, but he did not visit the mansions of those people openly, but "encountered" these people in restaurants, teahouses, theaters, and other places in the city.

These people were basically dissatisfied with Qin Yao in the past, or had proposed to the king of Nanyang that the second son, Qin Xuan, would be more suitable to serve as the prince.

What they said, in the end, it all reached Qin Yao's ears in various ways, although Qin Yao didn't see Chu Lingxiao, he already had a judgment of eighty or ninety percent about him, this person couldn't bear his temperament, and his heart was not right, which made people really can't imagine that a person like him can have such a good daughter as a ninth sister-in-law.

The ninth sister-in-law is like her mother!

Originally, Qin Yao also calculated, feeling that Chu Lingxiao thought that he had figured out the situation in Nanyang, and he would definitely take the initiative to come to him in a day or two, but he didn't expect that Chu Lingxiao would come faster than he expected.

Qin Yao and Gu Jue glanced at each other again, exchanging tacit glances.

Yuan Bao took out the food in the food box in the same way, Qin Yao took a xiaolongbao to eat at random, and said vaguely: "Stop!" ”

"Who can enter this barracks?!"

He spoke righteously and soundedly, but his appearance at the moment was not convincing at all.

Yuan Bao set up the food and ran out to spread the word.
