Chapter 8 Apprenticeship
"Whatever you want, you might as well bring it up."
The promise of the emperor's relatives is rare, although Ji Qiang can't speak arbitrarily, but he can always make some reasonable demands, after all, the opportunity is rare.
"Since the prince has spoken, if I push it again, I don't know how to be polite." Ji Qiang spoke appropriately, but in her heart she was thinking about what she should ask him for.
Suddenly, a few small stir-fried dishes ordered by Xia Jingnian were served on the table, such as floral lotus root, ham and fresh bamboo shoot soup, and shredded chicken sting, all of which were very delicate and delicious.
"Miss Ji has you thought about it?"
Ji Qiang smiled lightly and said, "I want the prince to find a master for me, I want to learn the art of poison Gu." ”
As soon as these words came out, Xia Jingnian's eyes sank, "You are special, even if you learn some things from your body, everyone is studying medicine, but you are studying poison, and your motives are not pure." ”
Ji Qiang is not afraid of others saying that she has a ghost in her heart, "There are no longer a few people with superb medical skills in Tai Hospital, but even my brother's illness cannot be cured, what is the use of studying medicine." ”
Talking nonsense, Xia Jingnian slandered, this girl just wanted to learn some harmful tricks, but she said it so righteously and strictly, it was really a lotus flower.
The raindrops falling from the eaves of the window are dripping, this season is already rainy, so the air is a little hazy, Xia Jingnian looked at Ji Qiang, and said slowly: "Okay, this king will promise you." ”
Xia Jingnian was refreshed, and Ji Qiang's heart that had been speculating was much calmer at this time, but she didn't dare to completely unload her defense, after all, the man in front of her had made Xia Chengmu scheming in her previous life.
was silent, but Xia Jingnian suddenly spoke: "Why do you want to learn the art of poison Gu, if you practice martial arts, you can still protect yourself, women can't practice the art of strong enemies, but they can learn some light skills." ”
"Light work?" Ji Qiang hadn't thought about it, so she asked, "When it comes to light work, is there anything powerful around the prince?" ”
Xia Jingnian didn't speak, but the little guy on the side said: "The world's first light skill is naturally Yan Wusheng. ”
Yan silent...
Ji Qiang was a little surprised, she didn't know much about the rivers and lakes, but she was very impressed by this person, in the middle of the night in her previous life, she was alone in the boudoir, but Na Yan silently entered through the window, and her vigorous posture did not arouse the idea of the guards of the Guogong Mansion.
Yan is silently famous, the most greedy for her daughter's appearance, Ji Qiang Huarong sixteen people moved the capital, although this flower thief did not dare to offend the Song State Mansion, but always wanted to see the beauty.
"Eat." When Ji Qiang was out of his mind, Xia Jingnian had already eaten by himself, he was not like other powerful people who always liked to put on a show, except for his uncertain temperament, there was nothing uncomfortable.
However, she remembered that there were four or five days left, which was the Dragon Boat Festival.
"No, the prince can use it for himself, Xiao Er." Ji Qiang called, "Wrap a mandarin duck cake for me, milk and ryoshi powder cake." ”
After that, Ji Qiang looked at Xia Jingnian.
Xia Jingnian loosened his eyebrows, put the peeled shrimp in his mouth, and then said, "Count my account." ”
Ji Qiangwaner chuckled: "Thank you Lord Wang, the Lord has to come to the house more often, and the matter of apprenticeship is bothered by Lord Lao." ”
After speaking, Ji Qiang left the elegant room and got into the car with the wrapped pastries.
Through the window, Xia Jingnian looked at the thin figure, and her heart seemed to be covered with mist, soft, and encircled in her heart.
Although the little girl didn't dare to say anything, she could detect the slight change in the expression of her master, Miss Ji was different, and the prince treated her differently.
"Master, the people at the border have sent a letter."
Xia Jingnian stopped the chopsticks in his hand, and his expression suddenly became solemn, "What." ”
"The letter said that the incident was indeed done by the emperor, so..."
Xia Jingnian's hands couldn't help but clench, after so many years, he had been dormant for so long, and now he could finally start business planning.
Back at the Guogong Mansion, Ji Qiang went to the Xuange to visit Ji Yang, and when he saw the mandarin duck crisp brought by Ji Qiang, Ji Yang's appetite was better, and he ate a few more bites, but he couldn't get out of bed all day long, and his body was still weak in the room.
"Eldest sister, I'm really not getting better? Ji Yang's tone was sad, he didn't dare to know, and he didn't want to know the result, if he could only be sick in bed in this life, he would rather die in the old temple and no one cared about him.
Ji Qiang didn't know how to comfort him, so she could only stroke his forehead and said softly: "Don't talk nonsense, it'll be fine, the eldest sister has already ordered someone to search for the whereabouts of the divine doctor, and it won't be a few days..."
"Ahh —" A scream suddenly came from the courtyard.
Ji Qiang frowned and asked the subordinate on the side: "What's the matter, it's noisy outside the house." ”
The maidservant girl who was carrying a change of clothes entered the door and stepped forward to reply: "It's a little girl in the back kitchen, who is young, and she just saw a snake in the haystack, and she couldn't help but be frightened, so she handed over her voice." ”
Ji Qiang didn't ask anymore, but there was more suspicion in her heart, snake? The Guogong Mansion does not rely on mountains or water, where there will be snakes.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but tighten her eyebrows a little, and said to Xi'er, who was waiting on the side: "You go and bring some people, and search the house for me to see how many snakes there are." ”
She's just guessing, but she's defenseless.
In the evening, Ji Qiang sat on the edge of the bed and watched the chess game on the chess table, and Xi'er entered the house alone.
"Well, there are other snakes."
Xi'er's face was not very good, "Miss is like a god, I took Fugui and them to search around, and caught a lot of snakes, all of which are highly poisonous, and..."
Xi'er paused, and said with a hesitant expression: "Both... They were all caught near our hospital. ”
The meaning of the words is clear, someone deliberately harmed Ji Qiang, and the poisonous snake was to kill her.
Ji Qiang was not in a hurry, she just continued to look at the chess game in her hand, and said calmly: "Those poisonous snakes should be placed in different places, and then they will get into my yard, otherwise how can they find poisonous snakes in Yang'er Pavilion." ”
Listening to Ji Qiang's words, Xi'er said indignantly: "Who is so ruthless that he wants to harm the eldest lady!" ”
Ji Qiang's expression was calm, the people in the house who wanted to harm her, in addition to Aunt Du, there was also Gu Hanyan who had just returned from worshipping her ancestors, it was not difficult to guess, but who should this account be counted on.
Suddenly, Ji Qiang noticed several pots of green plants placed on the edge of the flower garden, the flowers in the flower bed were all personally selected by her, and she would take care of them on weekdays, but because of Yang'er's body these days, she had no time to take care of them.
Ji Qiang asked, "Where did those flowers come from?" ”
Following Ji Qiang's gaze, Xi'er looked over and said, "Those flowers were given to you by Miss Gu, saying that they are rare flowers cultivated in Binzhou, your hometown. ”
Ji Qiang left the bookcase and walked to the flower garden in the courtyard, the fragrant fragrance filled the nasal cavity, Ji Qiang looked at it fixedly, she knew that this flower was indeed a unique flower in Binzhou, with the effect of calming the nerves, she was always difficult to sleep when she was pregnant with a child in her previous life, and the head of the hospital brought her two pots, which were indeed effective.
However, in addition to calming the nerves, the pollen juice of this flower can also attract poisonous snakes.
Standing in the sunset, Ji Qiang smiled and said, "It's really my good sister, considerate." I should have given her a generous gift. ”
