Listening to the noisy sound coming from outside, the girls went in and out, Mu Xiang came in with tea, and complained: "Miss, Steward Hu, they are so annoying, they just cleaned up the house, but they made the door of our yard dirty." ”

"It's okay, just sweep it, don't worry about them."

Xia Jinse disdained to embarrass people in such a trivial matter, because the fraud case was solved, the marriage date of Xia Ruxue and the eldest prince was finalized again, Xia Yanxiu was extremely happy, so he ordered someone to prepare for marriage and decorate the Prime Minister's Mansion.

However, such a big fanfare is to tell everyone that not only is the Prime Minister's Mansion fine, but the emperor's favor has not decreased at all, and the Prime Minister's Mansion is going to marry the eldest prince.

Outside, not only the girls were arranging, but even many officials came to congratulate them, Xia Yanxiu changed his previous arrogant posture, was busy receiving everyone, and was preparing to leave people for dinner.

Soon, Hu Yuan came and smiled dryly at Xia Jinse: "I've seen the eldest lady." ”

Xia Jinse was reading a book, and when he heard this, he glanced at him: "What is Steward Hu doing here?" ”

"The old man sent the little one, and said it was ...... I want to find the eldest lady to borrow Mr. Imperial Kitchen Pipe. No, there are many guests outside, including the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, as well as some officials who are familiar with the lord of the Ministry of Officials. The lord wants to keep the guests for dinner, so he asked the little one to come and ask Mr. Guan to go to the kitchen to cook a few dishes. ”

Xia Jinse glanced at him and said nonchalantly: "You go to reply to your father, don't borrow it." ”

Hu Yuan was stunned when he heard this: "Ah, eldest miss, this ......"

"Mr. Guan was given to me by the emperor, but he does not belong to the people of Haitang Garden, let alone my subordinates. I don't have the right to order Mr. Guan to do anything, if my father needs it, I can go and tell Mr. Guan in person, and I won't stop him. ”

"Uh...... Yes, Miss. Hu Yuan could only retreat in mockery.

When he left, Chaiyun chuckled: "Miss, if you reject the master so directly, he will definitely be angry." ”

Xia Jinse didn't care: "If you're angry, you're angry, anyway, if he's not angry, he won't like me, so why should I please him?" ”

Xia Yanxiu was able to get rid of the fraud so quickly, which made Xia Jinse see his methods.

Not only can he let the candidates involved confess according to his requirements, but he also didn't let Xia Jinlong do anything bad, although Xia Yanxiu has been in the mansion and has not gone out, he must have sent someone to do something, and it is even likely that Lord Jingzhao Yin Song, who was censored, assisted him in what he did.

In the absence of direct evidence, even the Marquis of Xiaoyao and the Book of Rites have no way to take Xia Yanxiu, so naturally they can't offend him. The case was closed, and the happy events of the Prime Minister's Mansion were put on the agenda, which made him increase his influence among officials.

It seems that if she wants to make Xia Yanxiu unlucky, she has to think of more ways.

"Let's go, chase the clouds and shoot the moon, let's go out." Xia Jinse thought about it and prepared to change his clothes and go to Baizhen Tower.

Lan Beichen is not here, the healing medicine she prepared before has to be handed over, and by the way, let the fifth prince hand it over to the military department, so as not to delay. By the way, go to Baizhen Building to see the new

on the goods, she hasn't been there for a long time.

When he went out, Xia Jinse heard talking about fraud all the way, and it was obvious that although this matter had passed, the popularity among the people would continue for a while.

She took the comments of passers-by into her ears, which was nothing more than the whimsy of those rich people, and it was better to study hard to get ahead, and even said that Xia Xiang was really wronged...... Hearing this, Xia Jinse hooked his lips slightly, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.

Soon arrived at Baizhen Building, and sure enough, the fifth prince Lan Muxuan was there.

"Miss Xia, you came just in time, I was just about to send someone to find you." Lan Muxuan was pleasantly surprised to see her.

"Oh, what's the matter with the Fifth Prince?"

Xia Jinse handed over the medicine she brought to him, and saw Lan Muxuan take her to the side of Baizhen Building, pointing to a pot of flowers blooming on a pear blossom wooden flower stand: "Miss Xia, look, do you know what this is?" ”

It is a purple-red flower with a stem about three feet high, and two fist-sized flowers are in full bloom. The petals are delicate, the color is bright, the leaves are green, and there are a few small buds.

Xia Jinse looked at it and was immediately surprised: "This is ...... Poppy? ”

She recognized it at a glance, this delicate flower like a poppy turned out to be the famous poisonous poppy. Although it is as thin and feminine as the poppy, it represents all foreboding and danger.

Lan Muxuan was a little surprised: "Poppy? It's a weird name, but this flower is not called a poppy, but a beauty drunk. ”

Beauty drunk, what is this name?

Xia Jinse recognized it for a while, making sure that he was not mistaken, maybe it was just that the people here called it 'Beauty Drunk', but it was the poppy he knew in his previous life.

"Although this flower is beautiful, it is very dangerous, where did you get it from, Fifth Prince?" Xia Jinse asked.

"It was brought by a merchant, and he knew that I liked rare things, and he had never seen this flower before, so he brought it to me. As soon as I saw that it was fresh, I wanted you to come and see it too. Seeing that what Xia Jinse said was serious, Lan Muxuan said with a straight face, "But Miss Xia said that this flower is very dangerous, could it be that you have seen it before?" ”

Xia Jinse nodded, she had not only seen poppies, but also knew its harm.

In previous lives, people with a little common sense had heard of this thing, and they could imagine its great name and terrifyingness. She once came into contact with the research of other colleagues in the scientific research institute, which was also related to opium poppy, so she was very clear.

However, she didn't tell Lan Muxuan too much, if the people here didn't know this thing and didn't use it, then it would be good to treat it purely as an ornamental flower. As for its other functions, there is no need to develop it.

"I've seen it in a book before, and this flower is gorgeous, and it is an excellent ornamental variety, with colors such as red, purple, pink, etc. But this flower is not like ordinary roses, jasmine, peonies, etc., it carries a kind of poison, once accidentally eaten will cause serious consequences, more painful than death. ”

Lan Muxuan was a little surprised, but quickly reacted: "I see, it's still Miss Xia who is well-informed!" I'm also going to cultivate a large area, so that my father and mother can enjoy a different kind of beauty, you say, also

Forget it. ”

Fortunately, Lan Muxuan got this flower, and he also told her, otherwise it would really be planted on a large scale, in case it won the hearts of some people and became popular in a large area in Beijing, and there was some accident, it would be difficult to say.

"Just appreciate this flower yourself, it doesn't matter if it's one or two, just don't eat it indiscriminately." Xia Jinse reminded.

Although the poppy needs to be refined to have a lethal effect, she can't say much, just say that it can't be eaten, it's simple and straightforward.

After spending an afternoon in Baizhen Building, Xia Jinse went back with a hundred times more energy.

After washing up at night, Xia Jinse sat in front of the dresser and combed her hair, next to Mu Xiang making the bed.

"Mu Xiang, how long has Aunt Yao been gone?" She asked suddenly.

"Hmm...... It seems like it's been ten days. Mu Xiang thought for a while, and said a little strangely: "By the way, Miss, didn't Aunt Yao say that she would come back in a few days, she has been gone for ten days, why is there no news?" ”

Xia Jinse calculated the time, before she asked Aunt Yao to go back to the countryside to visit her old mother, and gave her ten days off, but according to Aunt Yao's temperament, plus the delay on the way back, she should come back.

"Maybe there's something at home, so it's delayed, right?"

Thinking that Aunt Yao hadn't seen her mother for many years, she might be reluctant at first glance, Xia Jinse also understood, and said with a faint smile: "It's okay, I should be back in two days." ”

In the next few days, the Prime Minister's Mansion was still lively, and the decoration was more festive. not only began to purchase all kinds of wedding supplies, but also people from the palace Shangyi Bureau came to tailor Xia Ruxue and make wedding clothes. Xia Yanxiu and the Zhao family also discussed the banquet guests, wrote invitations, sent people to notify each family, etc., their faces were full of joy and they were very busy.

Begonia Garden was quiet, as if none of this had anything to do with Xia Jinse.

There was only one thing she remembered, Aunt Yao hadn't come back yet.

"Aunt Yao is afraid that something has happened, so I have to let someone go back and take a look." Xia Jinse said solemnly: "If not, she will definitely come back." ”

Chaiyun immediately said: "Miss, the slave maid will go to Aunt Yao's countryside to look for it, if something happens, what the slave can solve will be solved, and if it can't be solved, bring Aunt Yao back first, let the young lady call the shots." Anyway, meet people first. ”

That's what Xia Jinse meant, she found Hu Yuan and asked him the specific location of Aunt Yao's hometown.

Because it has been a long time, Hu Yuan used to be the manager of the outer court, and he didn't know it very well, but it was only confirmed on the deed of sale that he checked later.

"...... Huangshan Village, Qing'an Township"

After hearing this, Chaiyun immediately said: "Miss, the slave maid knows that Qing'an Township is dozens of miles away from the capital, on the other side of Qingyang Mountain, but Huangshan Village has never heard of it, just go and look for it." ”

"Okay, be careful, go and get back quickly." Xia Jinse was a little worried.

Chasing Yun quickly packed up his baggage and left, and when he left, he asked Shooting Moon to protect Miss well.

Who knows, on the second night, Mu Xiang took a crumpled letter to Xia Jinse, saying that it was sent by a farmer at the door. The man went into the city to sell vegetables, and was entrusted to bring a letter, saying that it was handed over to the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The peasant looked honest, but he had to ask the slave and maid for a tael of silver before he gave the letter to the slave and maid, really

is hateful. "Mu Xiang is a little angry.

Xia Jinse looked at the letter, it was just a piece of yellow paper, and the handwriting was also written on charcoal branches, but the handwriting was somewhat familiar.

Xia Jinse's heart hung up all of a sudden, and when he opened the letter, there were only a few inexplicable poems on it: "The rain and flowers are withering all over the village, and the frost and ten thousand swords are difficult to walk alone." Jin Sefang is looking forward to the return of people, and the moonlight is bright for thousands of miles. ”

"This poem ......," she wondered.

It's good, how did chasing clouds write such a poem back? Moreover, the handwriting is quite correct in the front, and it has been scribbled after writing, obviously written in a hurry, what is she in a hurry?

Such a special letter suddenly made Xia Jinse's heart hang.

After reciting it silently twice, she suddenly reacted.

Chasing clouds went to Huangshan Township to find Aunt Yao, and it was raining all over the village...... The flowers are still withering, does it mean that something happened to them?

Looking at the back, the 'Frost Ten Thousand Swords' clearly said that the situation was very dangerous, and she was alone with Aunt Yao, and she couldn't get out. 'Jinse' naturally alludes to her name, and the last sentence 'moonlight' may refer to shooting the moon.

Xia Jinse stood up, his face was very ugly: "Something happened!" ”

Mu Xiang was also anxious, and hurriedly called Sheyue to come in and tell her about it, and now, everyone has determined that this letter is a distress letter from Chasing Clouds.

"You mean, the peasant who delivered the letter asked you for money?"

"Yes, miss, the slave didn't pay attention at that time, the man looked like he was in his thirties, dressed in tatters, and carrying a burden, with some unsold vegetables left in it." Mu Xiang hurriedly recalled that if the farmer hadn't said that there was a letter to the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the porter would not have informed him at all.

He knew that there was money to bring him, or he would have lost it on the way.

Xia Jinse's face was heavy, it seemed that Chaiyun asked this person to send the letter, it was because this person was greedy and wanted to have money to take it, so he came to deliver the letter, otherwise they didn't know the situation of Chaiyun and Aunt Yao at all.

"We have to go to Huangshan Village, Chaiyun and Aunt Yao are in danger!"
