Chapter 168: The Fox's Tail
Zuo Cheng'an got Bai Yanran's consent, and he would visit the palace every two or three days, and his purpose was naturally self-evident.
Shu Yue couldn't figure out Bai Yanran's thoughts, but she didn't really think she was kind, and felt more and more that there were ghosts in it. remembered the ending of the Zuo family in his previous life, and didn't dare to be too close to Zuo Chengan, so as not to affect himself when he got it.
But Zuo Chengan is becoming more and more courageous, although he is the concubine of the family, he is also the only bloodline. Mrs. Zuo only got a daughter and then didn't come out again, and Zuo Xiang was dizzy by the Su family, so Zuo Chengan can be said to be noble since he was a child.
Zuo Xiang is a child of the cold family, and he has been studying hard for more than ten years, and he once lifted a fish and jumped into the dragon gate. Therefore, since he was a child, he has been very strict with Zuo Chengan's homework, and the upbringing Zuo Chengan has become a wooden head who only reads sage books.
Zuo Xiang used too much force, taught Zuo Chengan too well, and devoted himself to learning, but he had no interest in being an official. I even feel that officialdom is polluted and intrigued, which is really not the work of literati and scholars.
It was also Zuo Xiang's too strict management that he cultivated a character like Zuo Cheng'an who was ignorant of the world, and later when he went out to study, Shu Yue just used a little trick to hook up his three souls and seven spirits.
So much so that although people returned to the capital, their hearts have always been tied to Hongyan. Now that Shu Yue has come to the capital, his agitation and guilt make him respond to Shu Yue's needs.
At the beginning, Shu Yue had to enter the palace of King An to repay her kindness, so Zuo Chengan tried every means to entrust Dasheng to let her enter the mansion. Although he was not at ease in his heart, he had a discord with King An because of Shu Yue in the past, so he couldn't pull this face to visit.
Later, there was an epidemic in King An's mansion, and I heard that several people were infected with the plague. The news was ordered by his sister to hide it from everyone, and by the time he knew about it, several days had passed, and Zuo Chengan hurriedly came to the door without caring about his face.
Knowing that Shu Yue was fine, it was just a false alarm, Zuo Chengan was relieved. Seeing that the princess took good care of Shu Yue, King An was not as unbearable as rumored, and he became familiar with each other after coming and going.
On this day, Zuo Chengan came in the snow again, and happened to meet Bai Yanran and Ji Lingyun enjoying the snow and drinking. He originally wanted to avoid it, but the wine was fragrant, and when he smelled it, he knew that it was a good wine, and the people who hooked him were greedy.
In such a hesitation, Bai Yanran saw his eyes glancing over from time to time, so she smiled and said to Su Xin, who was waiting on the side: "It's cold outside, you ask Shu Yue to warm the pot of wine again, so that Zuo Gongzi can warm his body." ”
Zuo Cheng'an politely said two words, and he sat down. Su Xin took the order, and after a while, Shu Yue came with warm wine.
The beautiful woman and the wine are on the side, and Zuo Chengan can't help but feel a little fluttery.
I also heard Bai Yanran and Ji Lingyun talk about the initial results of the implementation of winter wheat planting in Ji'an, and the emperor's face is happy, and this jar of good wine is the reward of the palace. I couldn't help but be quite interested, and I lost my mind for a while.
It turned out that after the emperor left the banquet on the day of Wanshou Day, he couldn't wait to summon Zhang Mu, and it is unknown what he said. It wasn't until late at night that he was released.,And then I was busy alone in the imperial study until late at night before falling asleep.。
Within a few days, Zhang Mu was reappointed as the prefect of Ji'an. The previous prefect was dismissed from his post for his poor response to the floods in Ji'an, and the imperial court appointed new officials after the disaster was a little worse.
As the so-called once a son of heaven and a courtier, the new official naturally refused to reuse the henchmen of the previous prefect, and the matter of Dongmai was unheard of, and he was unwilling to take risks, so he reprimanded Zhang Mu several times.
Who knew that Zhang Mu was a stubborn temper, and he just groped for planting winter wheat in his ancestral field. This has become a rare thing that has spread all over the country, and it has been passed back to the ears of the newcomer prefect.
Zhang Mu thought that the prefect should believe in himself now, but who knew that the prefect listened to the slander of others, and felt that Zhang Mu was beating his own practice, so he was angry and found a false reason to remove Zhang Mu.
If it weren't for Zhang Mu being a strong-willed person, I'm afraid that the matter of Dongmai would really be over. Now that Emperor Yuanhe has deposed the current prefect of Ji'an, he is also to blame, and he has replaced Zhang Mu with a military order to promote winter wheat.
The matter of winter wheat is now spreading in the capital, but it is naturally not as accurate as Ji Lingyun's news. Such a thing that benefits the country and the people is in line with the appetite of these literati who worry about the country and the people all day long, and Zuo Chengan listens to it with relish.
Listening to the gossip, the wine was mellow, the beauty was on the side, and Zuo Chengan couldn't help but drink a few more glasses.
He has never been a greedy person, the amount of wine is not good, and the attendants on the side also listened attentively, and when he reacted, he found that Zuo Chengan was already lying on the table unconscious with a clear look.
It's only past noon now, so Bai Yanran said that she would let Zuo Chengan go to the side room to rest first, and then go back when she woke up. The little guy was also afraid that Zuo Cheng'an would go back drunk and that he would be punished for the crime of poor care, so he readily agreed.
But he didn't want Zuo Cheng'an to be really drunk, and seeing that the sky was getting darker a little bit, the little guy began to get anxious. However, Zuo Cheng'an didn't move at all, if he didn't have a breathing pulse, he would really be no different from a dead man.
The little guy really couldn't do it, Bai Yanran got the report, and he also felt that it was tricky, so he said to him: "Now that Zuo Gongzi is drunk like this, it is cold outside, I am afraid that it will not be good to be cold all the way in the carriage."
Why don't you go back and report to your old lady and let Zuo Gongzi stay overnight, and go back tomorrow when he wakes up. ”
When the little girl heard this, he felt reasonable, so he drove back in the carriage first. However, he did not report to Zuo Xiang and Mrs. Zuo, but went directly to Su's residence to let Miss Shuang'er report.
He is Zuo Cheng'an's attendant, and he is naturally also a confidant, knowing that the son's drunkenness will not be liked if the master knows about it, and naturally he will not touch this mold.
And Mrs. and Aunt have always been at odds, and he has only been superficial to the young master, and he will not be stupid enough to stab the matter to Mrs., knowing that it is right to report to his aunt.
It's just that he thought it wasn't a big deal, after all, the young master didn't go to a place of fireworks to stay overnight, and the proximity to King An's Mansion was not also related. Huaxia Chinese
didn't want to talk to Miss Shuang'er, so the aunt called him to inquire carefully, but then she was furious, and asked when the young master was so close to King An's mansion.
Seeing this, the little guy didn't dare to deceive, and told the ins and outs of the matter between the young master and Shu Yue. Su Shi's expression was dark when he heard this, and then asked Shuang'er to clean up and groom, and he actually wanted to go to King An's Mansion to pick up people in person.
The little guy was apprehensive and led the Su family to King An's Mansion. Bai Yanran saw the group and asked people to serve tea calmly, as if they had already guessed that this would be the result.
"It's also the princess who is negligent, and she doesn't want this wine to be so strong. Zuo Gongzi is also inevitably greedy for a cup of wine, and now he is drunk and unconscious, and he has to bother his aunt to pick up people in person. ”
She said so politely, but Su Shi said in a strange manner: "Yes, the princess has always been thoughtful, but this time she was so negligent, and the concubine was a little suspicious that you were really negligent, or if you had other plans." ”
She was really rude when she heard what others said, but Bai Yanran didn't think so, but turned her head and said with concern: "I heard that Zuo Gongzi said that my aunt has been unwell recently, but is she better?" ”
Bai Yanran's question was actually a bit redundant, Su Shi's bloodless complexion was difficult to cover even with rouge, and his body was wrapped in layers, which was a bit too much in the winter season now.
Su Shi's heart tightened, I don't know if I was thinking too much, I always felt that Bai Yanran's question had a deep meaning. But his face said coldly: "It's much better, so I won't worry about it." ”
After that, she asked impatiently: "It's getting late, and the concubine will take An'er back." ”
Bai Yanran nodded and said, "This is natural. ”
After that, he asked people to guide the people of the Zuo family, and the Su family was not worried about going to follow, but Bai Yanran said again: "It's also a coincidence, there are relatives in this princess's family who have suffered from heart disease, and they have searched for famous doctors to no avail.
If my aunt needs it, why don't I ask someone to ask for the remedies. If you can really cure your aunt's heart disease, it will be considered a merit. ”
The corners of Su's lips raised a sarcastic arc, and there was a little more fierceness in his eyes.
"This is not necessary, the concubine is now diagnosed and treated by Dr. Hu, so she won't bother the princess, but it's a pity that the princess's merit will be one less."
She really didn't know what to say, Su Xin on the side endured it for a long time, and finally couldn't help but say: "Why are you ......?"
Before she finished speaking, she was stopped by Bai Yanran, and she said with a light face: "Since this is the case, this princess will not be far away." ”
After saying that, he turned around and went back to the house, Su Shi didn't care, and looked at Zuo Cheng'an, who was drunk into a puddle of mud who was helped out, and let him go out of the palace and get into the carriage.
The courtyard was quiet again, and Bai Yanran did not go back to the house directly, but went to Ji Lingyun's study. In the study, Ji Lingyun was looking at the sluice and frowned, and only relaxed when he saw Bai Yanran come in.
"How?"
Bai Yanran stepped forward to take his outstretched hand, and then he was pulled into Ji Lingyun's arms and sat down. She was slightly surprised, but there was no one else in the study, so she didn't struggle.
"It should be true that Su Shi has a heart disease, and even if he has been diagnosed and treated by a doctor for many years, he has not been cured. But when I mentioned that there was a home remedy that could cure heart disease, she was not moved at all, but ridiculed her.
If ordinary people hear that there is a solution to the stubborn disease that has been tormented for many years, even for those who are on guard, even if they will be skeptical, they will instinctively hesitate for a moment. There is only one possibility for someone like Su Shi to be as unhesitating. ”
Ji Lingyun raised her eyebrows slightly, and replied, "She already has a solution, so she doesn't bother to ask for medicine." ”
Bai Yanran nodded and said, "Yes, but if that's the case, why did she suddenly relapse from her old illness and shut her door." And the time is not early or late, just around the time when the proprietress of the Spring Pavilion had an accident, which is really suspicious. ”
A cold smile appeared on Ji Lingyun's lips, and he wrote lightly: "It seems that it is time to check on Imperial Doctor Hu again, if the problem is Su Shi's heart disease, he must know something." ”
Bai Yanran agreed, and when she saw Ji Lingyun's black green eyes, she couldn't bear it, so she got up and pulled him and said, "Today is not a waste of effort, the prince will rest early tonight." ”
Some time ago, there were accidents in the house one after another, and it was hard to stop, and the Wanshou Festival made the entire Ministry of Rites busy for a while. After that, Chunyi and the proprietress of Chunyi Pavilion died violently, and Chunyi Pavilion was burned down with many days of hard work.
During this period of time, Ji Lingyun was really tired and lost a lot of weight, and Bai Yanran felt distressed when she saw it, so she said this. Ji Lingyun misunderstood, her eyes lit up when she heard the words, and her hand hugged her waist unruly.
"The lady is right, it's time to rest early."
Bai Yanran didn't understand what he didn't understand when he saw him with such a look, and was about to say something more, but Su Xin's somewhat flustered voice came from outside, and said, "Miss, it's not good, just now someone from the Bai family came to spread the word, saying that the old lady is afraid that it will not work." ”
Ji Lingyun sighed, lowered his head and rubbed Bai Yanran's forehead, then let go of her and said, "Let's go, I'll accompany you." ”
