342, disgrace
Qiao Siwan closed the lid again, took all the sword snuff bottles in her hand and studied them carefully, even missing every texture engraved on the sword.
Eventually, Qiao Siwan stopped her eyes on the lid of the sword's snuffbox, which was the hilt of the sword.
Because the brilliance of the hilt of the sword is particularly bright, it is the position of the sword grid on the right under the hilt.
Qiao Siwan suddenly remembered that when General Chen held the sword, the middle finger of his right hand would always like to land on the right sword grid, and at that time, it could also be that the mission of guarding them to dispense medicine was too safe and boring, and General Chen would always rub the sword grid with his fingers from time to time.
Thinking of this, and then thinking of some hidden and ruthless methods, Qiao Siwan handed the sword snuffbox to Jiang Xi again: "Jiang Xi, what is the posture that General Chen is used to when he plays with the sword?" ”
Jiang Xi took the sword snuffbox, and the posture of holding the sword was the same as that of General Chen, and the middle finger of his right hand fell on the right sword grid and rubbed it.
While Jiang Xi was playing with the sword snuffbox, Qiao Siwan held her breath in contemplation and focused all her attention on her sense of smell.
Quickly, Qiao Siwan smelled an extra faint smell, and her expression changed slightly, making Jiang Xi stop.
"Turn it on."
Jiang Xi opened the sword snuff box, and looked at how many empty snuff bottles there were a few more sesame seeds-sized brown powder piles, and his expression immediately became treacherous: "What kind of instrument is this?" ”
Qiao Siwan did not reply to Jiang Xi's question, but asked him to go to the shop downstairs to get some General Chen's snuff.
After Jiang Xi left, Qiao Siwan carefully identified that this powder was a medicinal herb, and it was the exclusive alpine grass in the alpine area.
This alpine grass develops in the back mountain at a very high altitude, and is moistened by the wind all year round, and is moistened by ice, snow and frost, and its nature is extremely cold.
"Rustle-" Qiao Siwan carefully studied the sword grid of this sword snuff box, put her ear to the sword grid and listened carefully, and shook it gently, and there was a very small rustling sound.
At this time, Qiao Siwan had understood that this sword snuff box was indeed tailor-made for General Chen, and the sword grid was equipped with a tight structure, and when he touched the sword grid on the right, there would be extremely small alpine grass powder pouring out.
The smell of his own mountain grass is extremely light, and it is mixed with snuff powder, where can General Chen, who does not understand pharmacology, tell the difference?
A person as strict as General Chen, with such a cherished instrument, would not play with it again if the snuffbox was empty, so he had not been aware of this trick for so many years.
The person who gave General Chen this sword snuffbox is indeed very insightful of his character and habits, so he has the ability to poison this matter so perfectly.
After checking here, Jiang Xi once brought some snuff over.
Quickly, Qiao Siwan smelled the medicinal herb of ice reed flower in this snuff, and her eyes immediately shrank.
Ice reed flower is a medicinal material used by many refreshing medicines, but the use of alpine grass and ice reed flower together can greatly improve the cold nature of alpine grass.
Such a sword grid of Gaoshan He powder used to be the most deadly, plus the ice reed flower, this person didn't want General Chen to be killed, but wanted his life!
Thanks to General Chen's martial arts training experience and strong body, if this is placed on ordinary people, I am afraid that it will not be able to endure it a long time ago.
Qiao Siwan thought about the history of General Chen, and in the past, because Zhou Xiuhao wanted to talk about General Chen, she asked General Chen the most.
General Chen Su and General Guo Su are close friends, General Chen and Guo Jiangyong have followed the two Su generals since childhood to learn martial arts and learn some military strategies, and the Chen and Guo families were the most closely related at that time.
Later, General Chen Su passed away, and General Chen's son inherited his father's business and helped Emperor Yongzhou ascend the throne with General Guo Su.
However, from then on, General Chen kept a low profile, and his contact with Guo Jiangyong faded, and even the Guo family, who had always been close, had less contact.
So much so that above the court, few people know that the Chen family and the Guo family have such a relationship, and even Mrs. Chen and Jiang Xi, who are most closely related to General Chen, do not know.
Thinking of this, it is no wonder that Qiao Siwan contacted General Chen's poison with the Guo family, and set the Guo family as the biggest questioner.
Because she inquired too much about the Guo family, this family has never been an easy family of military generals.
Qiao Siwan may faintly feel that if she can crack the secret of General Chen's poisoning, it is not only possible to bring down the Guo family, but she may also gain more.
In this way, it seems that she had to go to the Guo family's invitation on October 28.
However, Qiao Siwan did not report this speculation to Jiang Xi.
Jiang Xi grew up under the wing of General Chen, and he was extremely powerful, but he was finally too young and vigorous to respond to these psychologically careful opponents.
Qiao Siwan asked Shopkeeper Lin to restrain Jiang Xi with a medicine tube called Huo Tengzi, and she planned to use this medicine as an antidote.
Jiang Xi didn't know Qiao Siwan's decision, and after entrusting Shopkeeper Lin to pay attention to the fire vine for himself, he looked for this flavor medicine in the streets.
On October 28, Jiang Xi naturally didn't find the fire vine, and was subdued by Qiao Siwan and went to Guo's house in a happy spirit.
As soon as he heard Qiao Siwan say that she wanted to find out the person who harmed General Chen at the Guo family's banquet, Jiang Xi immediately came to the energy and said that the thug must be found out.
Qiao Siwan needs Jiang Xi's sponsorship, she wants to see who is the lover of the Guo family, and has the ability to find the best breakthrough.
On this day, the ladies of the Wang family and the young masters of the family all entered the banquet of the Guo family.
Qiao Siwan's identity at this time was different, and she was only willing to let her go out unless she was dressed up by Lilac and Vanilla as an elegant and pretty county lord.
Qiao Siwan was already good-looking, but at this time she was recuperating with medicine, and her body gradually grew, adding more charm.
Today, Qiao Siwan's body is all produced by the royal family, and even the shoes and hair accessories are all cloves, vanilla, and a lot of people have to use them as rewards in the palace.
The upper body is a plain and elegant blue coat, covered with a warm blood-colored narrow-sleeved hibiscus gown, the lower body is a powder blue hookah forging skirt, and a pure white flawless white feather warm cloak is draped on the shoulders, hanging down to the ankles, looking from afar, like a blooming glamorous brocade hibiscus, lit with fresh stamens, delicate and moving, but people can't bear to desecrate her beauty.
The Guo family sent invitations to the girls in Qiao's Mansion, but only three of them decided to go, and the other girls used all kinds of pinching words to prevaricate.
In addition to Qiao Siwan, the other two are Qiao Qianshu and Qiao Qianying.
Seeing this, Qiao Siwan knew that Qiao Qianzhen had been abandoned by the Guo family and Qiao Qianshu.
Seeing Qiao Siwan like this, a surprise flashed in Qiao Qianying's eyes, but Qiao Qianshu's eyes sank suddenly.
Because although she is handsome in appearance and beautifully dressed, she is immediately a notch lower than Qiao Siwan.
Qiao Qianshu really didn't understand, Qiao Siwan was just a concubine, why did she mix up and be rugged and emit such a natural extravagance, let her take a look, and she was only ashamed.
If she didn't know Qiao Siwan's identity, she would really think that this little maid was a county lord.
It's disgusting!
Qiao Siwan didn't seem to notice the change in Qiao Qianshu's expression, and after smiling, Qiao Qianshu and Qiao Qianying shouted, the three of them got into the carriage and drove away.
There was a charcoal stove burning in the carriage, which was warm and drove away the chill from the body.
Qiao Siwan was a little glorious, at first she found Yuhua Dizhi, which made her physique get better as quickly as possible, otherwise she would not feel so comfortable this winter.
When Qiao's carriage arrived at Guo's house, there were some carriages parked outside Guo's house.
When Qiao Qianshu and Qiao Qianying got out of the carriage, they confused the eyes of a large number of people, but after Qiao Siwan noticed it, they immediately shifted their objects.
"Hello Lord Anzhou!" Recognizing who Qiao Siwan was, a large group of people hurriedly greeted her, and some enthusiastically asked her when the banquet would be held, and she must invite herself before.
Qiao Siwan smiled kindly, greeted everyone one by one, and then followed Qiao Qianshu and Qiao Qianying into Guo's mansion.
Qiao Qianying is still young because she is still young, and she follows the delicate and small Jiangnan figure of the Zheng family, and she looks even younger, and no one compares her to Qiao Siwan.
However, because Qiao Qianshu is a good match with Qiao Siwan, she is older than Qiao Siwan, and she has a good reputation, so everyone will inevitably compare her with Qiao Siwan.
Such a comparison, everyone can't help but be disappointed, it seems that the first woman in Dumen, in addition to being as beautiful as a fairy, her temperament and charm are far less than that of the county lord of Anzhou, and she can only be reduced to the foil of the county lord of Anzhou.
Seeing the change in everyone's demeanor, the smile on the corner of Qiao Siwan's mouth became more friendly.
She is intentional today, that is, she wants to compare Qiao Qianshu's style.
Qiao Qianshu wants to turn the tables, but naturally it is not so easy.
Qiao Qianshu hated Qiao Siwan to death in her heart, but she couldn't show the slightest dissatisfaction, at this time, the only thing she could fight with Qiao Siwan was this face, she must not abandon it, she must find an opportunity to step Qiao Siwan into the dust, forever and ever.
Qiao Siwan, you wait!
In the Guo family's flower garden where the banquet was held, a sea of begonias bloomed one by one, and the blood, pink, and yellow begonias were all kinds of flowers, which were indeed the most beautiful.
It is indeed a beautiful thing to be able to browse such a sea of flowers in winter.
When the sun is warm and the temperature is comfortable, the delicate petals of the begonia bloom more and more, and it is more touching.
Seeing the smiles on everyone's faces, Guo Lanmin couldn't help but be complacent, this was the first time she held such a big banquet, and she didn't expect so many people to appreciate it.
The smile on Guo Lanmin's face immediately stiffened the moment she saw Qiao Siwan, because Qiao Siwan came from afar, and she was so beautiful that she compared the begonia flowers all over the yard.
is so elegant and so noble, so beautiful and so true, it really makes people have no courage to give birth to a little relativity.
After a while, Guo Lanmin noticed Qiao Qianshu beside Qiao Siwan, and her expression became more and more embarrassed.
There was a time when my cousin was the core of the banquet, but at this time, she became Qiao Siwan's foil!
Gradually coming into the banquet, Qiao Siwan saw that the people who came to the Guo family's banquet today were all young ladies from various families, and they were not noticed by the figures of the elder generation.
From a distance, seeing Guo Lanmin's embarrassed expression, Qiao Siwan stepped forward with a smile and shouted to her: "Cousin Min." ”
At this time, Qiao Siwan's identity was different, Guo Lanmin naturally couldn't treat her as rudely as before, pulled the corners of her mouth, and smiled rigidly: "Lord Anzhou, Qianshu, Qianying, you are here." ”
Several people shouted, Guo Lanmin put Qiao Siwan and Qiao Qianying down, and took Qiao Qianshu elsewhere.
Qiao Siwan didn't seem to notice Guo Lanmin's different treatment, and Qiao Qianying only cared about the flowers, as if she didn't care about other things.
Qiao Siwan didn't arrive at Guo's Mansion for a long time, Jiang Xi overtook her, and as soon as she came, she asked her and him to start acting to find out the questioning family members.
Regarding today's placement, Qiao Siwan had already made a decision, and handed over the mission of staring at Qiao Qianshu and Guo Lanmin to Su Yue, and she took Jiang Xi and Qiao Qianying to play in the flower garden together.
can be included in the banquet of the Guo family, in addition to some innocent people with the goal of having fun, more or more of the Wang family who are good friends with the Guo family.
In this, some collusion of the Guo family may be found.
