Chapter 40: Xu Shenhe
In two years, Chu Ke not only used all the poison prescriptions he had mastered before on Lin Moran's body, but even used several poisons together, just to increase the difficulty of Lin Moran. At the same time, it is also necessary to continue to research new drugs, so as not to be weak and overtaken by Lin Moran.
After the work of poison was done, Lin Moran had to read the examination papers of the imperial examinations of various countries in recent years one by one to test Lin Moran's literary skills. In the past two years, Lin Moran didn't dare to say anything else, but he had thoroughly studied the classics of various countries, and no one knew better than Lin Moran what the most important literary knowledge in each country was. (Except for the people of Tianshui Palace)
At the same time as Lin Moran reads books and batches of papers, Chu Ke will also play musical instruments on the side, usually songs that Lin Moran has never heard, unused instruments, after playing, Chu Ke will let Lin Moran play it again, and punish her once if she makes a mistake, if she is wrong, Lin Moran will not have to live in the past few days, what poison, corporal punishment or something, it will make Lin Moran feel painful, life is better than death.
(The so-called corporal punishment here is not just a beating and it is over, but usually arranged by Chu Ke to help her deal with the affairs of Tianshui Palace, read the account books, sort out all kinds of news from all over the place, personnel transfers, daily eating, drinking, and shopping, and some arrangements in the last quarter, everything has to be done by Lin Moran.) These are not Lin Moran's own jobs, but she still has to do it, because it is corporal punishment, because Lin Moran played the wrong tune, used the wrong medicine, practiced the wrong tricks, judged the wrong paper and other wrong punishments. By the way, Master, are you really serious? Crying chirp 、、、)
In addition to these things, Lin Moran also had to mention Chu Ke to inquire about the news, such as what to eat for lunch today, where to buy the ingredients, whether Lao Zhang, who was in charge of the comprador, whether he ate kickbacks, whether he hid his smuggling, whether he bought cheap goods from other shops to enrich his pockets, and so on.
Although they are all trivial things, Lin Moran must find out the truth, because Chu Ke will also send other people to investigate, if it does not match the results obtained by Chu Ke, it must be Lin Moran who will be punished, even if Lin Moran is right, she will be punished, because she didn't find that anyone also checked these things, and knew that they were wrong, but she didn't find a solution to let herself be punished.
Therefore, Lin Moran learned to be smart later, before coming back to report to Chu Ke, first find out the people sent by Chu Ke, and confess to them, if he is right, he must correct where they are wrong, and if he is wrong, he must find out the reason for his mistake, and then remedy it.
In this way, Lin Moran was very tired every day and often lacked sleep, Lin Moran felt that her height growth was a little slow, probably because Chu Ke made her too tired. Therefore, Lin Moran often finds every opportunity to make up for sleep, as long as she can take a nap, Lin Moran is very content!
However, not long after Lin Moran fell asleep today, there was a bell from Tianshui Palace, which meant that something big had happened.
Lin Moran was originally guarding against a sneak attack, so she was more alert when she slept, and as soon as there was a sound, she immediately sat up and looked around defensively, but in the end she found that no one came to sneak attack, but the bell rang.
Lin Moran took a deep breath, suddenly relaxed a little, and was about to get up to see what was going on, when suddenly there was a burst of breath behind him, Lin Moran subconsciously pulled out his backhand, threw the person to the ground, and then pulled out his portable sword, and was about to stab it, when he was suddenly stopped.
"Senior Sister Lin, stop! That's your own people! ”
The person who came was Chu Ke's eldest disciple, named Qianxi, she hurriedly came to Lin Moran and said, "She is the master's son, she can't be hurt, if the master knows, she has to kill you." ”
As he spoke, Qianxi pulled the man up and said, "Go and see the master, or you'll be the one who will be rectified!" Don't blame me for not reminding you, this Lin Mo Ran Lin Senior Sister, but the master's most proud disciple, if you annoy her, you will feel good! ”
The man patted the floating ash on his body, looked at Lin Moran and said with a light smile: "It turned out to be my mother's new apprentice, no wonder you dare to attack me." He has good skills, good reactions, and is very alert, which deserves praise. When I see my mother back, I will say a few kind words for you! ”
"Thanks, you don't have to, you better mind yourself!" Lin Moran said lightly, and then walked towards the front hall.
Qianxi and the man then arrived, and as soon as they entered, Chu Ke said very happily: "After waiting for two years, my son is finally back!" Shenhe, come and let my mother see, have you grown taller? Have you lost weight? Are you fat? Is it dark? Is it white? ”
Xu Shenhe stepped forward, saluted Chu Ke, then stood in place and said: "My son has risen a little taller, not fat or thin, not black or white, my mother doesn't have to worry about it, you still have to take care of yourself, I saw a few wrinkles in the corners of your eyes, you have to study the secret recipe for wrinkles." ”
Lin Moran listened loudly, are these two really mother and son? How can you speak so mercilessly? As soon as you come up, you will be scared? Exciting enough! I'll have a good show to watch in the future!
"Master, don't listen to him, he's fooling you! Master, you are the most beautiful, you don't have a single wrinkle at the corner of your eyes, your skin is smooth, ruddy and fair, you are the best skin in the world! Lin Moran said unceremoniously.
"Damn, are you talking nonsense with your eyes open? Doesn't my mother look in the mirror? Are there any wrinkles in the corners of her eyes that she can't see herself? Use you for flattery? Xu Shenhe said angrily.
"Yes, doesn't Master himself look in the mirror? Are there two more wrinkles that she can't see herself? Use you to deceive people here and scare her! Lin Moran sneered.
"You!"
"How am I?"
When Chu Ke saw the two arguing, not only did he not stop him, but he clapped his hands and applauded, and said with a smile on the side: "It's amazing!" My son Shenhe is in this Tianshui Palace, almost all the invincible opponents in the world, almost nothing can make him speechless, Dye'er you are the first, I really make the teacher happy for you in my heart! Well, how about I give you a feast tonight to celebrate your defeat of my son? ”
"If you want to give your son a clean wash, just say it, okay? Why do you want me to be an excuse? Your son, is he the future palace master of Tianshui Palace? That's the young palace master, right? As long as you say a word, who of us doesn't treat him like a baby? If you want to give him a clean drink, let's all pool the money to give him a banquet. Big brother and second brother, you come first, how much money you have now, take it out! Lin Moran said.
Lin Moqian took it out of his arms and said, "I brought two hundred Wen with me today, you take it first, and then tell my brother if it's not enough, and my brother will borrow it for you!" ”。
"It's only two hundred wen, what about you, big brother?"
