Chapter 15: Kind Reminder
On that day, Zuo Chu traveled back to Zhuang from Fancheng in the East China Sea and came to Xunfeng Garden. Thinking that he must be very tired, Zhu Yi hurriedly boiled him a tired and refreshing Gu medicine.
When he came, it was still raining lightly. Zhu Yi tried his best to hide his abnormality, but he couldn't help but quietly look at him. Wen Xi brought the boiled Gu medicine, he picked up the teacup and took a sip lightly, frowning because of the bitterness of the medicinal taste. Resting the teacup lightly on the table, he asked straightforwardly how the matter of Yu Gu was going.
At that time, Zhu Yi still had the old Gu of the ancient village in his hands, so he had not yet started to breed, so he had to take care of other things. Thinking of Zuo Zhufang coming back from Fancheng, he couldn't help but be curious and asked, "Is there anything interesting in Fancheng?" Zuo Chu was stunned for a moment, and then pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled: "I didn't bring anything." ”
Thinking that he had misunderstood, Zhu Yi hurriedly explained: "I didn't want to ask you for something, I was just curious about what was there." ”
Zuo Chu still smiled shallowly and coolly: "If you go to see it in person in the future, you will know." After a pause, he chuckled and said, "My father said something to me today......
As soon as he heard this, Zhu Yi's little face quickly turned red, and he hurriedly interrupted: "No, Mr. Chu, Lu Mai was beaten miserably that day, and I told you to fill the gap in order to save him in a hurry." Anyway, I think Uncle Zuo is in such a hurry, and it's okay to be in a hurry temporarily......"
The man smiled and nodded in satisfaction: "That's fine." Miss Zhu doesn't have to say anything to fill the gap, Zuo hopes that you will have a good family in the future. He looked at her with a very gentle look in his eyes, as if he was sincerely wishing her.
Zhu Yi pinched her sleeves, a little shy, a little impulsive, she said: "It's best to marry you." ”
Zuo Chu got up, and when he heard her say this, the smile on his face was lost: "What Miss Zhu said, Zuo Mou never heard clearly. He looked at her so seriously and seriously, as if he was looking at a stranger, and she instantly regretted it, so she changed her words: "What I said is the best to marry here, marry here in Qiancheng." Yan Yan smirked to hide his embarrassment.
"So, farewell." Zuo Chuxiao couldn't help but pull the corners of his mouth slightly, and turned to leave.
After he left, Zhu Yi stood in the room, remorseful for his previous impulse. Wen Xi made matters worse and told her that if she couldn't convince Zuo Qi of her Gu cultivation ability, she would soon be "invited out".
Then in a sense of oppression that would be blown away at any time, Zhu Yi began to cultivate Gu.
Xili Secret Gu is divided into two forms: Gu medicine and medicine Gu.
Gu medicine is relatively simple: first soak the medicinal materials with different medicinal properties in the jar, and then put in three or two Gu worms, the Gu worms will be dispersed and recuperated after the medicine is introduced, and the waste medicine will be steamed dry after the tank is opened, and the dried medicinal materials will be taken out. Gu medicine, with or without blood, has little impact on insect breeding, and the duration of the medicine is as little as three or four days, and as much as one and a half years.
Medicinal Gu is difficult to control: the medicinal herbs are boiled first, cooled and then soaked with ice lotus to precipitate the medicinal properties, and then mixed with blood. Set aside for a few days, and then open the can to inspect the Gu breeding environment. If the medicinal soup layer, ice lotus layer, and blood layer are obvious, Gu worms can be put in. Then seal it for several months or years, and let the Gu worms swim in the three layers to absorb the medicinal properties and blood gas. In the later stage, open the jar and check it, if the stratification is all mixed into one color, you can take out the Gu worm and implant it into a living body, so that it can be hoisted or controlled by the host. The duration of Gu cultivation ranges from more than a month to several years.
Therefore, the medicine Gu is an insect and has evil nature, while the Gu medicine is a medicine, which is more inclined to daily health cultivation. The two have one thing in common: the results are superbly fast.
Because Zuo Chu didn't say what Gu he wanted at the beginning, Zhu Yi first bred the most ordinary Gu medicine. When breeding, soak the dried silk branches with the grass water, take the small half bowl of blood of the best cook in the back kitchen and mix it in, take three white fat cicada Gu worms after the hour and put them in, seal them for seven days, and become medicine after opening the can.
The first batch of cicadas to be bred came out, and Zuo Zhu gave all the Gu medicines to the subordinates of Yaozhuang to strengthen his nerves and nourish his qi in order to consider the ability of the little girl in front of him.
The kitchen boiled some Gu medicine in the porridge every morning and evening for everyone to eat, and the effect was shown after only two days, and most people's fatigue and discomfort were relieved. Although the time was too short to see a better effect, it also allowed Zhu Yi to stay in Yaozhuang smoothly.
Her world, probably since then, has only revolved around Zuo Zhu, even if it takes three or two months to meet, and the conversation is only a few words, it can't offset the longing in her heart.
However, she was lovesick in this room, but Zuo Chu never felt anything about her.
When he was outside, he had seen too much of the infatuation and infatuation that the girls and ladies had exuded with him, and he had long been accustomed to it. He kept her just for Gu. Then his intersection with her is limited to inquiring about Yu Gu. So, he went out to search everywhere as usual, and occasionally returned to Yaozhuang Village, but in addition to asking Gu, he avoided Zhu Yi if he could.
In the middle of August, it was a hot summer.
Zuo Chu returned from Nanban. Zhu Yi changed into a refreshing and cool white magnolia loose flower gauze and followed everyone to the door to greet him.
After a month, goodbye only increases attachment.
Standing silently behind the crowd, I watched him get out of the carriage in a smoky blue robe, and went back to his dormitory first. Even though they were far away, Zhu Yi vaguely saw that he was very tired on his face. So she hurriedly ran all the way back to Xunfeng Garden, scooped up the newly cultivated bone clearing Gu medicine and sent it to Chu Lin.
Zuo Chu didn't see her when she returned to the village this time, and when she went to chat with Zuo Yue, he basically read in the book room and didn't go out of the room. Zhu's clothes were wilted, and he seemed absent-minded when he accompanied Zuo Yu to speak. Seeing this, Zuo Invite called someone to call Zuo Chu, but Zuo Chu refused. After being rejected, one old and one young, their faces were embarrassed.
A few days later, Zuo invited to visit old friends. Zhu Yi didn't even have a reason to go over. The Xunfeng Garden where she lives is empty, and there are only her, Qiu Shui, Chulin, and Wen Xi all day, plus two gatekeepers and three little maids. Later, Qiu Shui saw that she was depressed and took her out of the village to hunt.
Out of the Zhuang Zhu clothes can somewhat liberate nature and have fun. Wen Xi couldn't help but be stunned when she looked at the flexibility and agility of the tree above and below the Zhu Yi tree, and she reminded Zhu Yi that she was a girl and should be steady. The man in the tree retorted, "It's a survival skill." ”
That day, Zhu Yi was taking Wen Xi to catch fish, Wen Xi because she had always heard Zhu Yi calling the owner of the village at night recently, so she asked her: "Yiyi, how much do you like the owner?" Zhu Yitou didn't reply: "I like it very much, I like him very much, the first time I see him, I want to marry him immediately." Anyway, I decided, I will only marry Mr. Chu in this life, and if he doesn't marry me, I won't marry. ”
At that time, she was very possessive. Although Zuo Chu has never been hers, she doesn't care about it.
Wen Xi sighed: "You must not cling to unrealistic ideas. People like the owner of the village are admired by women all over the world, which is not an exaggeration. But do you know why there is no woman who can always be by his side? ”
Zhu Yi naturally didn't know. Wen Xi took care of himself and said: "I'm afraid that there is no woman in this world who can make the owner take a more look." ”
Zhu Yi smiled dryly: "He is already in the age of a weak crown, and he is still lonely around him, isn't he lonely?" ”
Wen Xi denied her statement: "Because there is no one who wants to wait, so a person will not be lonely." There is a saying that 'it is better to have less than to overuse', and that's probably it. ”
Zhu Yi paused and asked, "Then do you think I can stand by his side if I work hard?" Wen Xi looked at her sympathetically: "That's why you dispelled unrealistic ideas." ”
Hearing this, it was really a basin of cold water from head to toe.
It's like having a skate blade in the head.
Qiu Shui sat under a willow tree, staring at the water in a daze. When he first arrived, he chirped and shouted, and he caught a few more fish. Zhu Yi looked at the two of them and said sullenly: "It is estimated that they are the only ones who are willing to accompany me in this life." But I still have to work hard and stand by your owner's side! ”
Wen Xi was behind her, not speaking.
That day, they stayed outside until the evening before returning, and when they returned to Xunfeng Garden, Lu Mai was already waiting at the gate of the small garden.
Lu Mai said that Zuo Qi wanted to see her, and Zhu Yi was overjoyed and happily went to the appointment.
On the way there, I looked at the glow of the sky, it was beautiful, and there were swallows returning to the nest under the afterglow of the sunset, and the chirping was not lively, which made her mood exceptionally good.
Zuo Chu still had something to say, without any greetings, and put forward his request straightforwardly.
He wants Zhu Yi to breed a medicine Gu that can restrain other people's feelings.
Zhu Yi asked him why he wanted to control others, but he didn't answer, only asked her if she wouldn't.
Zhu Yi naturally will, but this kind of Gu belongs to secret Gu, and it cannot be bred for others to use privately. She hesitated, and then spoke, "How can I be sure that you are not using it to harm people?" ”
Zuo Qi's face was rigorous, and his voice was a little self-deprecating: "Zuo is not a villain, how can he do villain things?" Rest assured, I can promise that I will not do harm to others. ”
Zhu Yi looked at him, his face was faintly gloomy, thinking that his mood should not be very good.
She believed in Him, blindly believing in Him. So she agreed.
Zuo Chu proposed that she would raise a secret Gu for him in exchange, that he could continue to stay in Yaoxianzhuang, and in order to prevent this secret Gu from falling into the hands of traitors, Zhu Yi only needed to breed one.
Zhu Yi ignored Zuo Zhu's sentence "avoid falling into the hands of traitors". Half a month later, the "traitor" came to the door.
