Chapter 9: Dealing with the Heat
Qingluan followed Li Wen around the Taoist temple, and saw that he was not only very familiar with the Taoist temple, but also greeted all the Taoist priests he met, and couldn't help but glance at him.
"Does Brother Wen come here often?" She asked.
"Well," Li Wen nodded, "I usually come here to listen to the Taoist Master's sermons. ”
The vassal king Proton was not allowed to make friends with court officials privately in Beijing, and Li Wen was fascinated by listening to the sermon in recent years, except for a few white friends around him. Although he has never practiced Taoism, he admires Taoism very much.
Qingluan was not familiar with this brother in his previous life, but he knew that after he heard that his father Li Qian was sick and died next year, he would be assassinated and killed on the way back to Qidi.
At that time, people in the court, including Qingluan, thought that he had encountered a misfortune with the mountain bandits, but the following vassal kings were either accidentally killed or stabbed to death, and this matter was not simple.
"Brother Wen, has my cousin's health been fine in recent years?" Qingluan couldn't help but ask.
Li Wen was surprised and smiled: "Thank you Jianing for your concern, my father's health is very good." ”
Li Qian was only in his forties at the time, in the prime of life, and he had always paid attention to maintenance and self-cultivation, so he was much healthier than his peers.
Qingluan was silent for a moment, and said casually: "Alas, Brother Wen Shi doesn't know, I ate some food offered by my subordinates in the mansion a few days ago, but it collided with other food, and I was poisoned, and it took a few days to get better." ”
Li Wen frowned and looked her up and down: "Who is so careless, those subordinates really deserve to die." ”
"Who said it wasn't, so Brother Wen should pay more attention to the meal, we have a lot of right and wrong, don't inadvertently fall into the way of the villain." Qingluan glanced at Li Wen and said seriously: "Who knows whether it is intentional or unintentional." ”
Ziyu and Yuzhu behind Qingluan looked at each other when they heard this, but they knew that whatever the master said was what it was, and they must not tear down the master's platform in front of outsiders.
Li Wen raised his eyes and looked at Qingluan thoughtfully, and instantly realized in his heart, he had lived in a big family since he was a child, and he had never encountered any bad things, but he had also heard about it.
Sun Li snorted beside him and said, "As long as you are squeamish, I have never eaten two kinds of food that I want to rush to be poisoned." ”
Qingluan looked at him sideways, "Then I'll ask someone to make some for you to eat today, to see what kind of good belly you are." ”
Sun Li's face twisted, and his chin was about to rise to the sky, "Eat, eat!" I'm afraid you won't make it! ”
Li Wen smiled, "Some conflicting foods are indeed harmful to health, Sun Gongzi must not be reckless, Jianing is joking." ”
Sun Yu said unrelentingly: "I'm going to see what she makes for me to eat today." ”
Qingluan also smiled, and turned back to Yuzhu, "You go back to the other courtyard first, and today we will have a banquet for Brother Wen and Sun Gongzi." ”
Yuzhu took the order and left.
Li Wen smiled: "Zishu is better to be respectful than to obey his fate." ”
As soon as a few people walked to the Sanqing Palace, they saw Xiao Luo standing at the door of the hall, looking at them with a puzzled expression.
"Senior sister!" Xiao Luo suddenly curled the corners of his mouth and faced Qingluan.
"Xiao Luo, when did you come?" Qingluan greeted Xiao Luo with a smile.
"Wen Shizi." Xiao Luo hugged Li Wen with a fist, and said to Qingluan, "Just arrived." ”
Li Wen returned the salute: "Lord Xiao." ”
Sun Li has always been a little afraid of him because he was beaten by Xiao Luo since he was a child, and at this time he used Xiao Luo as air with his neck.
This person is kind-hearted and ruthless, he is an out-and-out smiling tiger, Sun Li only knew after a while, it turns out that some people can also break a child's arm with a smile.
Hum! What kind of hero is to bully the small!
It's all to blame on that Jianing County Lord, he just tricked her once, and he was pinched off by this guy with one hand, and it hurts when he thinks about it now. Although Jianing found someone to treat him later, he couldn't resist the pain of his young heart being brutally hurt.
Xiao Luo directly ignored Sun Yu, walked up to Qingluan, and said softly: "After visiting the viewing garden, I set up a banquet in the other courtyard......
"Let's not go to your house!" Sun Li jumped up and shouted.
Xiao Luo's face sank and he looked at Sun Li.
"Xiao Luo, I'm the boss today, you and Brother Wen and Gongzi Sun will go to my courtyard." Qingluan said, "I have already agreed with them before. ”
"That's it!" Sun Yu rarely stood in the united trench with Qingluan, and looked at Xiao Luo with disdain.
"Okay, senior brother will bother." Xiao Luo smiled, but didn't say anything more.
When a few people walked outside an alchemy room, they were stopped by two little Taoist priests, "Please stop, this place is not open to the public." ”
Qingluan glanced at the closed courtyard gate, and the Wen brothers had to turn back.
Back at the eldest princess's Cuihua Courtyard, the meals in the dining room had been prepared, and after several juniors went to greet the eldest princess, they were arranged to sit in front of the flower hall.
The eldest princess didn't want to eat with the juniors, lest they be restrained, "Go yourself, Jianing and Li Lan don't have to shy away, they are not outsiders." ”
So, Jianing and Li Lan sat at the same table with Li Wen, Xiao Luo, and Sun Li.
There are more than a dozen dishes on a table, all of which are fresh dishes produced by the other hospital, and even Sun Li, who has always been picky, no longer talks and tattoos, and eats by herself.
After the meal, several people said goodbye to the eldest princess.
After Li Wen and Sun Yu left, Xiao Luo said softly to Qingluan: "The eldest brother will return to Beijing the day after tomorrow, I don't know when the junior sister will go back?" ”
He knew that the little junior sister had a deep affection for the eldest brother, and although he felt a little awkward in his heart, he still told the truth.
Xiao Boyan will come back the day after tomorrow? Qingluan frowned slightly, she hadn't found a way to deal with him yet.
"Not for now." Just kidding, she didn't want to see the man.
After Xiao Luo also left, he led Li Lan and Linyan to another courtyard to rest, Qingluan immediately returned to Chunhui Courtyard and instructed Yuzhu: "Go and call Wei Bao to see me." Quietly, don't let others see it. ”
Yuzhu blinked, a little confused, but still took the order.
Qingluan stood in front of the window and looked at the vines in the yard. When the green grapes hung down, the birds began to pick and peck among the fruits that could be eaten.
Wei Bao was an orphan she picked up when she was a child, it was a snowy day in Layue, she rode a horse and took the guards to hunt in the snowfield, only to find a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy curled up in a haystack, he was wounded all over, his clothes were ragged, and his bare feet were almost frozen to rot.
Later, she asked a famous doctor to treat his feet, and she was going to let him go, but he was determined to stay and repay his kindness.
So, Qingluan left him in another courtyard, and took the name Wei Bao, and stayed for five years.
In her previous life, Wei Bao married her to the Xiao family, and two years later, she died for no reason. Now that I think about it, there must be someone who can't tolerate him.
Otherwise, with his martial arts, it is impossible to die casually.
Qingluan's eyes cooled.
Xiao Boyan, no matter whether Wei Bao died at your hands in the previous life or not, in this life, you must let Wei Bao take revenge.
After a while, Yuzhu brought Wei Bao and obeyed the order to take the maidservants out of the courtyard.
Qingluan looked at the man who saluted him.
Wei Bao's body is slender and slender, as if he can't eat strongly, but from his knife-like cheeks and strong legs, feet and arms, he can reveal hidden strength.
Qingluan carefully explained some things to Wei Bao in the house, and took out a stack of silver tickets to him, "Give you so much first, and then tell me if it's not enough." ”
Wei Bao lowered his eyes and looked at the five thousand taels of silver tickets in his hand, his heart trembled, and he raised his eyes to look at the girl in front of him: "County Lord, you trust the villain so much?" What would you do if the villain took the money and ran away? ”
Qingluan said with a smile: "There is no doubt about employing people, since I can use you, I believe you, if you really have a lot of money, what I give you will be all yours, and you can use it first." ”
She must now make a desperate bet and find someone who can help her run errands outside, and she must also be unfamiliar with Xiao Boyan and Xiao Luo.
The so-called dead horse is a live horse doctor, and she also gambled with her.
