Chapter 36: Finding a Helper

"Take it." Xiao Zijing put down the empty bowl and didn't look at him.

"Yes! Be! Seeing that there was not a drop left in the bowl, the little guy secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and ignored his cold face, and went out with a smile.

After he left, Xiao Zijing quickly took the handkerchief at the head of the bed, twisted his eyebrows and spit out all the medicine in his mouth.

Xianglan was startled, and hurriedly looked at Xiao Yiran, but saw that her face was calm, as if she was not surprised by Xiao Zijing's actions.

"Xianglan, you go and guard the door." Xiao Yiran commanded.

Although she didn't understand why this was happening, Xianglan vaguely felt that this was a big deal in her heart, and immediately didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly went out to close the door.

"How long did that little guy serve you just now?"

Xiao Zijing put away the dirty handkerchief and replied expressionlessly: "It's been about three years." Although this minion has a bad character and often calls and bullies other people in this courtyard before, I still can't get rid of him, and all I can do in the end is to send the other people away, lest they be angry with this dog slave all day long! ”

"Why?"

From the moment he came in, Xiao Yiran wondered that this courtyard was too cold, but there was really a reason.

"Because he's a white screenman." Xiao Zijing raised his head and looked straight at her.

He called Bai Huaping by her name, and there was no respect for her in his words, but revealed a strong disgust, which made Xiao Yiran somewhat surprised.

"Then this medicine .......," she thought to herself.

Since this medicine was sent by Bai Huaping's person, eighty percent of the poisoning in the medicine was also instructed by Bai Huaping.

"It's probably their line." Xiao Zijing's tone sneered: "Over the years, she has suppressed me less openly and secretly!" Even Xiao Zijun excludes me in the school from time to time. ”

"Why did she do that?" Xiao Yiran is even stranger.

No matter how jealous this white picture screen is, no matter how much he doesn't like their children, there is no need to put so much effort into it. What's more, Xiao Zijing is still a concubine, and it stands to reason that it will not threaten their interests at all.

Xiao Zijing was silent for a moment and said: "There is a rule in the Guozijian of Li Guo that those with excellent grades at all levels can be recommended by the teacher to worship under Ouyang Shi's great Confucianism. Some time ago, my husband was interested in selecting me to be shortlisted. ”

And so it was! Xiao Yiran suddenly understood. Since she returned to Beijing, she has also deliberately learned a lot about the customs of the Li Kingdom, and this Ouyang Shi can be said to be the master of the academic circles of the Li Kingdom today, and even many scholars from the neighboring Chen Kingdom have come to see its style.

Legend has it that the disciples who worship him will become leaders in their profession, whether they are engaged in business or politics. It's just that the old gentleman is now old, and he doesn't have the energy to accept the disciples who have closed the door, and most of the people who can worship him now are his disciples and grandchildren.

But despite this, there are still many people who want to enter this door. There is no other reason, wherever you go in the name of Ouyang Shi's disciple, others will respect you for three points.

I didn't expect that my third brother was quite powerful, and he could get the qualification to get started. Thinking about it, he must have used kung fu that ordinary people can't imagine, Xiao Yiran's eyes swept over the books beside Xiao Zijing's bed, and he felt in his heart.

"This time, the college has taken more than ten days off, and when I go back, I will have to take an entrance assessment." Xiao Zijing's voice became colder: "But if my injury is not good, then I will definitely not be able to participate in this test." ”

Xiao Yiran nodded: "There are indeed two more flavors in that medicine just now, which are in conflict with your original medicinal properties, and boiling and taking them together is extremely detrimental to your injury." If it weren't for that Yue Yuan San, I'm afraid your current situation would be even worse. ”

"Those people have a heart." Xiao Zijing sneered.

Xiao Yiran sighed, as a concubine, it is absolutely impossible for Bai Huaping to let him be better than his son and be more valued by Xiao Zhiyuan. But if he doesn't show his talent, then there is no chance of being noticed by the academy and then getting upward resources.

Therefore, no matter how you look at it, this is a dead end: either you risk offending Bai Huaping and fight for yourself; Either spend your life in this mansion and learn to help Xiao Zijun manage the family property when he becomes an adult.

But in the end, Xiao Zijing still chose the former.

"That medicine is not good for you, so you can stop it in the future, just use the medicine I gave you. When I get back, I'll have someone bring you another bottle. Xiao Yiran got up.

"I didn't expect you to know quite a lot." Xiao Zijing had long suspected that a girl who grew up in the suburbs would have such superb medical skills. He had also seen many doctors, but he had really not seen a few who could identify the ingredients of the herbs in the decoction just by smelling.

Facing his inquiring eyes, Xiao Yiran smiled calmly: "I met a master when I was a child, and these are what he taught me. ”

Sooner or later, her medical skills will be exposed in front of everyone, and there will definitely be many people who want to be suspicious like Xiao Zijing at that time, and in order to deal with them, she prepared the wording at the beginning.

"Hmm." Xiao Zijing lowered his eyes and didn't know whether to believe it or not.

"That little guy, if you have time, it's better to find a way to get rid of it, such a person is a scourge after all." Xiao Yiran reminded.

"I will."

Xiao Yiran smiled slightly, raised his feet and walked towards the door.

She believes that this kind of thing is not difficult for Xiao Zijing, after all, a child who has lived under the nose of Bai Huaping for so many years without the protection of his mother can never be stupid.

"Thank you." When she opened the door, Xiao Yiran heard a soft thank you floating from behind, she paused, the corners of her lips curled slightly, and left with Xianglan without looking back.

"Miss, what's going on?" Seeing Xiao Yiran's serious expression, Xianglan couldn't help asking.

"The third young master's medicine is poisonous."

"Poisonous?!" Xianglan was shocked, "But just now, the slave maid has been following Gui'er's side, and I haven't noticed anything unusual about him." ”

Gui'er is the name of that little guy.

Xiao Yiran's tone mocked slightly: "He's just the lowest link in this chain, you didn't see it, it must be because someone was secretly helping him." ”

"What about the third young master?" Xianglan can see that although the third young master is a little stuffy, his heart is good, in case there is a good one, wouldn't it be a pity?

"It doesn't matter. Now that he knows, he will keep an eye on it. When you get back, remember to find someone to bring him a bottle of medicine from last time. ”

"Yes. The slave and maid will do it as soon as they get back. ”

Walking to Tingyu Pavilion, Xiao Yiran found a little girl looking anxiously at the door, and when she saw her, she immediately hurried over and said, "Third Miss, Master Hou is in the house." ”

"Father?" Xiao Yiran frowned: "He came alone?" ”

"Also, there are Aunt Liu and the second young master." The little girl looked down and didn't dare to look at her.

It seems that Xiao Zichuan went back to sue! Xiao Yiran was relieved, she coldly hooked the corners of her lips, and walked into the courtyard gate with Xianglan.

As soon as she entered, she heard a mournful cry: "Master, you have to call the shots!" ”
