Seventy-six, temptation
After returning home, it was calm, and Ning Yan slept steadily. Early in the morning, I got up in a daze, smeared the medicine on my hand, and went to tinker with a bamboo basket snake sent by the Su family yesterday. "Tsk. This snake is really fat. "It took a morning to make medicinal wine and take snake gall bladder.
"Miss. Time to eat. "Chu Qing returned to the courtyard with lunch, and when she saw Ning Yan, she began to chatter." Your Excellency has only returned to the house now, and this matter is really complicated, and it is really valued by His Majesty. "This girl talks a lot, but if she hears anything, she will tell Ning Yan to listen, but it will save Ning Yan to ask.
Ning Yan reapplied the medicine and changed the bandage. "Did your father ask me when he came back?"
"I don't know. As soon as the adults returned, they went to the study. Second Miss, I sent a lot of supplements today. ”
"That's right." Ning Yan had something in mind, so he hurriedly finished his meal. In the afternoon, I went to Zheng Yue. Zheng Yue didn't say anything and sent Ning Yan away. Ning Yan was absent-minded, and it was inconvenient to go to Su's house at this time, so I didn't know if the man was wrong. Ning Yan had been in anxiety all day, always pressing a stone in his heart, as if something would happen.
I'm really worried about anything. When he arrived at Shen, Xiao Ya actually came to visit. Hearing this news, Ning Yan was taken aback. Yesterday was still violent, and the unforgiving style was unforgiving, but today I took the initiative to come, I don't know why. Ning Yan subconsciously touched the jade pendant around his neck.
After a while, Xiao Ya appeared in the courtyard with her subordinates. Ning Yan smiled and ushered up. "Miss Xiao."
Xiao Ya changed her aggressive appearance from yesterday and said softly, "Miss Zheng Si, I was rude yesterday. Please don't take it to heart. After speaking, he handed the gift in his hand to Chu Qing beside Ning Yan, "A small gift is not a tribute." ”
Ning Yan waved his hand, "You're too polite." Sit down. How's your injury? Can there be better? ”
Xiao Ya smiled slightly, "It's thanks to Miss Zheng that the wound is better." Can you give some more medications? Xiao Ya stroked her injured hand.
"Of course, Chu Qing, go to my pharmacy and get some snake repellent powder." Ning Yan hurriedly instructed.
"No." Chu Qing glanced at Mei'er on the side, and then left.
Xiao Ya suddenly stepped forward, Ning Yan was startled, and immediately calmed down again. Xiao Ya said softly, "Miss Zheng, do you know what happened to that person yesterday?" ”
Knowing that the purpose of this girl's coming was not pure, Ning Yan couldn't help but complain in her heart, but it was okay, it was not bad to know something through her, Ning Yan shook her head innocently, "I don't know." Isn't he in Sioux House? I've been at home. How? His Majesty summoned him to the palace? ”
"Naturally, no. What he says may not be credible. ”
"This is something Your Majesty considers,"
"Do you believe it?" Xiao Ya looked at Ning Yan.
"Does it matter if I believe it or not? His business is not something that we women should care about, and we don't have to think too much about these things. ”
"Yesterday, Miss Zheng didn't do this."
I softened my heart and looked at him pitifully, and only then did I say a few words. Miss Xiao, don't mind. Oh, by the way, Miss Xiao was injured yesterday, and he will naturally be punished for letting the snake bite people, otherwise the law is to be seen? Otherwise, I will accompany the girl to Jing Zhaoyin to complain and let Jing Zhaoyin administer justice for the girl. This wound is fine, but it may be scarred. Ning Yan changed the topic, and he couldn't pay too much attention at this time, otherwise who knew if there was someone behind it.
Xiao Ya was stunned, then smiled helplessly, "Sue? When the people are gone, what are you going to sue? Miss Zheng is really good at laughing. ”
"Gone? What do you mean? Ning Yan was a little stunned, and the feeling of uneasiness in her heart became stronger and stronger.
Xiao Ya's fingers swirled along the teacup, "It's dead, hanging yourself, hanging on the beam of the Su Mansion guest room." It is said that it seeps into people when you look at it. ”
He is still dead, and in his mind he is dying in Jing Zhaoyin's prison, and now that he has changed to Su Mansion, why is he still dead. Ning Yan was in a trance for a while, and replied perfunctorily. "I really didn't expect it. How to save the dead? ”
"Fourth Miss, the medicine is here." Chu Qing appeared with a small box of medicine.
Ning Yan stood up, took the medicine, and handed it to Xiao Ya, "Miss Xiao, this medicine can be changed once a day in the morning and evening, and it should be fine if you rub it for 7 days, if the medicine is not enough, someone will come to pick it up." Once the wound is healed, apply some ointment that can remove the scar. ”
"Thank you." Xiao Ya took the medicine. continued, "Don't you think his death is bizarre? Xiao Ya stared at Ning Yan without blinking.
"Bizarre? Didn't you say he hanged himself? What's so bizarre about this? Hey, it's a pity that it has added bad luck to the Su family. ”
Xiao Ya couldn't see Ning Yan's abnormality, so she only said, "Yes, so Su Gongzi has already asked Ying to accompany Lord Bai to Xining to investigate the disaster relief funds." ”
"I don't know about these things, I just want everyone to be safe."
"Well, that's what I expect. Okay, I'll leave without bothering. Xiao Ya got up and left.
Ning Yan politely sent it to the door. The carriage drifted away. There are many thoughts in my heart, only Baizhu went to Xining in my mind, Su Qin was not involved in this matter, it seems that some things have changed. Atractylodes! This person is admired by Zheng Wan, he is upright and upright, and he has real talent and learning, but unfortunately he likes to speak up impartially, which led to the twists and turns in his career, three promotions and three declines, and finally died on the road to exile, and this cause was planted by this trip to Xining. Counting this period of time is the second time of Baizhu, the previous time is because he smelted the flood in Nanwu, Nanwu City is close to Dongyu country, often floods, resulting in the people's fields can not be cultivated, Baizhu this person personally dredged the river channel with the people, through a series of smelting measures such as repairing the siege, the dredge river, and setting the valve, effectively smelted the flood, and now the Nanwu City has ten thousand hectares of fertile land, no flood and drought, and the perennial grains are fragrant. The follow-up in my mind seems to be very ominous, because there are too many dead people in Xining City, there is a sudden plague, Zheng Wan and Zheng Shengdong happened to pass by this city, so they stayed to help Baizhu. However, the plague was so rapid that for a while, half of the people of the city were abandoned. Baizhu was also held accountable for this and ushered in his second whereabouts in his life.
"Miss." Chu Qing saw Zheng Ling standing at the door in a daze, and couldn't help but remind him.
"Ah, oh, let's go back." The carriage had disappeared from view. As soon as I entered the courtyard, I met the old housekeeper Zheng Qing, "Fourth Miss, the master invited Miss to dine together." ”
This time I actually remembered to eat together, and sure enough, none of them were easy to deal with. Thinking like this, he kept a smile on his face, "Okay, let's go." ”
"Ling'er, come and sit." Zheng Nangong's attitude towards Zheng Ling always made Ning Yan feel indescribable, polite and a little deliberately close. Ning Yan bowed and then entered the table. There are not many types of food, but they are delicious. Zheng Nangong adhered to the ancient adage of eating without saying a word, and had dinner quietly, and waited for the dishes to be cleaned up. Zheng Nangong spoke, "Ling'er, yesterday the Miss Xiao family embarrassed you." ”
"No, she was injured, so naturally she was a little aggrieved. It's all a trivial matter, so I'm not here to apologize today. ”
"Just to apologize?" Zheng Nangong picked up the teacup and tasted it slowly.
Ning Yan lowered her head slightly, "She said that the person is dead, and Lord Bai and Master Su are going to Xining." ”
"Ling'er, you have been bedridden all the year round, so naturally you are more simple-minded, just listen to what you say outside."
"Daughter is white, I was too impulsive yesterday, and I won't be so reckless next time." The forces in Kyoto City are intricate, and the people behind each person are either yin or obscure, and they may not understand it so clearly, just like this incident, I don't say who helped the man in my memory, Ning Yan didn't think it was a coincidence that Bai Lu would be at the meeting, how did the man attack those women, and how did he know which place was where the nobles gathered, Su Mansion was so big, but he just chose the right place, who was helping him, whether he really committed suicide or was killed. "Father, is Xin Gongzi really hanging himself? Did Su Gongzi really go to Xining because of this? He's a disciple of the national teacher, isn't he supposed to guard Kyoto? Why did you suddenly intervene in the dark-hearted matter of divination and sacrifice? ”
"Su Qin naturally won't go to Xining just because of this man. You don't need to know why. ”
"Got it. Ling'er said a lot. ”
"I heard you're studying medicine." Zheng Nangong said casually.
"Yes, Father, I." Ning Yan actually didn't believe Zheng Nangong very much, and now she knew that she was tinkering with those things in her yard every day, how could it be that no news reached Zheng Nangong's ears at all, but she really didn't know what to say when asked so directly.
"That's it, just learn. If you don't understand anything, go to the doctor in the house. ”
Ning Yan was taken aback, and his face couldn't help but show a deep smile, "Thank you, father." ”
Zheng Nangong looked at Zheng Ling, who was smiling, and was in a trance for a while, as if he saw Mu Shi, who had always been full of confidence. However, for Zheng Nangong, this distraction was only a momentary thing, and then he looked like a loving father, "Recuperate, you are weak, don't make yourself too tired." ”
"Well, thank you father for your concern."
"Let's go back and get some rest." Zheng Nangong sent Zheng Ling back.
Now is the sunset, Ning Yan looks at the sky that is getting darker and darker. Will Su Qin meet Zheng Wan this time? Ning Yan subconsciously touched the jade pendant, hoping that everything was fine. Zhu Zhiqing is so bold and reckless, who is behind it? As the fourth lady of the Zheng family, it is not easy for her to go out at will. In addition to waiting, Ning Yan felt helpless when he thought about it. Su Qin, the national teacher, the plague, things are getting more and more complicated. Half of the city, if the fate of the people in this half of the city can be reversed, does it mean that Zheng Wan is also accumulating virtue, that's great, I have to find a way to save people.
In the Xiao family in the west of the city, Xiao Ya casually threw away the medicine bag, "Father, why is our Xiao family inferior." That Zheng Ling was just born to a maid, but the yard where she lived was as big as our family. Not to mention other people's. Xiao Ya felt more and more aggrieved.
"Okay, it won't be long before our Xiao family will be able to soar. Not in a hurry. How's it going today? Xiao Jinchuan waved his hand meaninglessly,
"I didn't find anything, it looked like I didn't know. Silly. Xiao Yaman was disdainful.
