Chapter 27: Someone Poisoned in the Ink

Leng Qinghuan is still a little relieved, one is his brother's body, I don't know if he has improved after taking the medicine for the past few days, and he needs to do a new examination for him and adjust the prescription. The other is that he lives in such a remote place, and it is inconvenient for food, clothing, housing and transportation, and he doesn't know if the two little guys are attentive.

I have always had this kind of calculation in my heart, so I went to deliver medicine to the old lady on this day, she bought some daily necessities on the road, and planned to send them to her brother after she came out of the Anguo Mansion.

When she arrived at Anguo Mansion, there was a gorgeous and flamboyant carriage parked at the door, Leng Qinghuan knew that it was from the Qiwang Mansion, she asked the porter, only to know that Leng Qinglang was also there, and made a special trip to visit the old lady.

Counting the days, the slightest injury on her foot should have been healed a long time ago, but I don't know how she remembered to pay tribute to the old lady.

She didn't need to return when she entered the Anguo Mansion, so she went straight to the backyard with her pocket, and Mama Ding in front of the old lady politely stopped her.

"The princess is here, and you have worked hard to make a trip, there are guests in the old lady's house, you can give the medicine to the old slave."

Leng Qinglang's laughing voice floated out of the room: "Lord Wang, he has always been thinking about your grandmother, even if he is busy with official business every day, it is not easy for me to see him during the day." After delaying these days, I finally couldn't wait, and my granddaughter-in-law came recklessly. Seeing that the old lady is in good health, go back and tell the prince to know, and he is so relieved. ”

Then came the old lady's flat voice: "Child, you really have a heart, after your wedding, your grandmother hasn't given you a meeting gift, and you still prepare such a valuable thing." ”

"Look at what you said grandmother, as long as you are in good health and stronger than anything else, what is such a little supplement? It's just a little bit of granddaughter-in-law's heart. ”

"This kid is really good at talking and likable."

Then Leng Qinglang pretended to be a well-behaved tone: "When Qinglang came, I was still worried all the way, worried that my grandmother, you didn't like me." ”

Leng Qinghuan didn't speak, pursed his lips, and turned around.

Waiting outside the courtyard, talking to Shen Linfeng, Leng Qinghuan came out, and the two stopped talking and greeted each other.

"What a coincidence, didn't Shen Shizi have a business trip today?"

Shen Linfeng glanced around: "I have something to go out of the city to patrol, I heard the maid say, you also want to go out of the city?" ”

Leng Qinghuan nodded: "My brother is now recuperating outside the house, and I can't rest assured, I want to go and visit." ”

"You don't know what time your donkey cart is wandering until it arrives, and it happens to be on the way, why don't you let Linfeng give your cousin a ride?"

Leng Qinghuan immediately refused: "Shen Shizi is busy with official business, how dare he bother you." We're not in a hurry, just get back before dark. ”

Shen Linfeng smiled indifferently: "It just happened to be on the way, besides, you are not afraid that your donkey cart will be shabby, and your brother will see it, and misunderstand that my cousin has treated you poorly?" ”

Where is this misunderstanding, it is the truth.

But after thinking about it, what Shen Linfeng said was very reasonable, and after a little hesitation, he nodded and agreed.

"It's so hard."

The three of them went out of the house, put things on Shen Linfeng's carriage, Leng Qinghuan and Doudou entered the carriage, Shen Linfeng was naturally inconvenient to ride together, took the horse whip from the coachman's hand, drove by himself, and went directly out of the city to the Leng family cemetery.

Leng Qinghe was a little surprised when he saw her suddenly, he came out of the dark and low thatched house, met with Shen Linfeng, and called the little maid to move out two dilapidated benches from the house, not daring to welcome the two into the house.

Leng Qinghuan checked his body, and the toxins in his body had been reduced a lot, but it did not meet his expectations. Puzzled, he asked, "How have you checked your diet in recent days according to my instructions?" ”

Leng Qinghe's spirit has improved a lot, and he still coughs lightly: "The rules for eating here are not as strict as in the house, I eat with the two little guys, and both of them are safe and sound, so there shouldn't be any problems." I secretly poured out all the medicines prescribed by the doctor in the house. ”

Leng Qinghuan thought, maybe he was indeed suspicious, his brother had a poor body, and he took medicine all year round, maybe the effect of the medicine was not easy to absorb.

In front of Shen Linfeng, Leng Qinghuan didn't say much, and re-told him the matters he needed to pay attention to in his daily life, so he left his brother to talk to Shen Linfeng, and turned around and went to his room.

The inside of the house is even more dilapidated than the outside, but there are signs of rebuilding in some places, and it is also clean, and it seems that the little servant next to him is not very slack.

There is a small square table at the head of the bed, on which in addition to tea, there are several thread-bound books, and pen, ink, paper and inkstone. All within easy reach.

If it weren't for this illness, according to his talents, he would have been able to participate in the Spring Festival this year, gain fame, and be among the top of the court like his father.

Leng Qinghuan stepped forward to help him simply tidy up the mattress, and casually picked up a few pieces of rice paper scattered on the table, on which some exquisite poems were copied, the handwriting was beautiful, and the ink was still fresh, but the strength was slightly insufficient, exuding the smell of ink.

I heard that in ancient times, some spices would be added to make ink to neutralize its original slightly smelly smoky taste, such as Suhexiang, comfrey, cloves, etc.

Curious for a moment, she put it on the tip of her nose and sniffed lightly, frowned suspiciously, and carefully examined the ink remaining in the inkstone, and then felt a pang in her heart.

"I usually pay attention to rest, but I only read when I can't sleep." Leng Qinghe stood at the door of the cottage, saw her solemn face, thought that he was blaming himself for not listening to her instructions, and hurriedly explained.

Leng Qinghuan couldn't help but throw out all the pen, ink and books without saying anything, pointing at Leng Qinghe and scolding.

"Look at how sick you are now? Just hanging on with your last breath, all the words that the doctor told you are taken as a deaf ear, isn't it? even lit the lamp and boiled oil to write and read. Don't you want to think about it, even if you are only eight buckets high, what's the use of taking the top prize? Do you have the destiny to enjoy this glory and riches? ”

Leng Qinghe probably saw her lose her temper for the first time, so he was stunned for a while, and muttered in a low voice: "It's really boring here, and I'm ...... too."

"You're recuperating! Is it possible to set up a stage for you to listen to the play? Leng Qinghuan counted down, and his eyes were red: "I'm tired of you, who else can I rely on?" ”

Shen Linfeng was a little embarrassed when he saw her suddenly flaring up on the side, and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade: "Brother Qinghe can just change it if he knows his mistakes, why do you have such a temper?" ”

Leng Qinghuan sniffed, and ordered the two little guys in front of him in a hateful voice: "What are you still doing in a daze, burn all these books and the four treasures of the study room for me!" ”

The two little guys beside Leng Qinghe, Mingyue and Xingmeng hurriedly stepped forward, entered the house and collected all the books and pen and ink.

Leng Qinghe was so distressed that he stomped his feet, causing a cough: "These books are all masterpieces, it's a pity to burn them." I don't look at it. ”

Leng Qinghuan waved his hand angrily: "You can keep the book if you want, I don't care, save it as a donkey's liver and lungs." However, it can't be put in front of you, all of it is far away, if anyone dares to give it to the eldest young master again, I will see it, be careful of his dog's life! ”

The little servant said "don't dare", moved all the books, and stored them in a newly built thatched hut on the side, which should be a temporary residence for the two.

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while, and Leng Qinghe and Shen Linfeng didn't know what to say.

Leng Qinghuan glanced at the two little guys who were busy with themselves, walked up to Leng Qinghe, lowered his voice and asked, "Brother, let me ask you, who prepared the ink you use on weekdays?" ”

Leng Qinghe didn't know why, and said truthfully: "Xingmeng is responsible for my diet and daily life, Mingyue knows a few words, and is responsible for the four treasures of the study, as well as books. He's taking care of all these things. What's wrong? ”

Leng Qinghuan couldn't care less about Shen Linfeng's presence, and lowered his voice: "This ink is poisonous, and it will be inhaled into the body with the volatilization of the ink fragrance, and after a long time of contact, it will be chronically poisoned." ”

"What?" Leng Qinghe was shocked: "This can also be poisoned?" ”

Leng Qinghuan nodded: "This is the reason why you have taken medicine for several days, and the residual poison in your body still can't be cleaned up." Because you're still inhaling new gases. ”

"That's why you lost such a temper with your brother just now?"

"I'm worried that if it is broken, the Jin family will have a more ruthless back-up move to deal with my brother, and it will be more dangerous if I can't prevent it when the time comes. These things must not be kept, and the two little guys can't believe it, and my brother has to make an idea of how to deal with it. ”
