Chapter 297: Sprouting
Although Danzhu was round, Su Ruhui had already smiled faintly, stood aside, and didn't say anything, Huo Qinglian was reproached by the Queen Mother, and after thinking about it, he couldn't pull down his face to admit his mistake, so he pretended not to understand what the Queen Mother meant, and said: "I came to the palace today, but I asked the Queen Mother for one thing." ”
The Queen Mother didn't want to slap her face in public, so she continued to ask: "The mourning family was about to ask why you came back suddenly, what is the matter?" ”
"My father asked me to ask the Queen Mother for a white jade ginseng with better color." Huo Qinglian said a little unhappily.
The Queen Mother was suddenly shocked and said, "Huo Changqing is so sick? ”
White jade ginseng is mild, and almost does not conflict with any medicine, it is a first-class nourishing and nourishing herb, and can be taken with decoction water for a long time, but the same golden ginseng, the difference in the number of years between the medicinal power is also a world of difference. This thing used to be extremely precious, non-valve reading can not get their hands at all, because after the Northern Expedition Beirong was forced to pay tribute every year, and there are many merchants trafficking back and forth, now many remote vassal kings in Dayong may be able to get one or two, so it has long been not rare.
But Huo Qinglian will come to open this mouth, what he wants is naturally not an ordinary search, Emperor Changtai is extremely filial, and good things have always been close to the Queen Mother first, in the treasury of Renshou Palace, there are five golden ginseng plants that were entered together when Beirong submitted the surrender book, all of which are unique in ten thousand, almost grown into a clear human shape, the legend was originally the treasure of Beirong Khan, when Dayong was like a rainbow, Beirong was defeated like a mountain, and had to take it out to beg for peace talks.
These five golden ginseng plants are in the queen mother's private treasury, and they are also important, either the lives of important people in the royal family are endangered, or the concubines on the third grade are dying, and they may not be able to take their turn.
Now Huo Qinglian said this, but the queen mother didn't expect Huo Changqing to overstep, but was shocked by his illness, Huo Changqing sent his affection to the landscape, but because the Taishi Huo De is getting older, and he only has one son under his knees, he can't go far, he only lives in the courtyard near the left of the imperial capital, and after marrying the stepfamily Deng, he only occasionally returns to the Huo family's ancestral house to live for a few days to visit his parents, but there has been no news of illness.
Speaking of his illness, it is similar to the current Queen Zhou, many people know about this matter but do not break it, the Queen Mother knows it even more, and now when she heard that Huo Qinglian was going to come to Huo Changqing to ask for the golden ginseng used by the royal family to save her life, she was extremely surprised.
"Father is still the same." Huo Qinglian tried his best to suppress it, but his words still brought out three points of dissatisfaction, "It's the eighth daughter of the Deng family, who has always been sick and crooked, and last time on my aunt's birthday, my grandmother went to the Deng family to pick her up...... Mother...... I went into the palace with Huo Hui to celebrate my aunt, and when I heard the news, I went back and mentioned it to my father, and my father asked me to ask for gold ginseng! ”
As soon as he finished saying this, Su Ruhui and the others all frowned, if Huo Changqing really said this, he was too confused! It didn't match his usual reputation, but the Queen Mother listened, but asked: "The mourning family saw that you came in alone, what about the grandmother and the palace maid beside you?" ”
"It's all out there." Huo Qinglian was puzzled, "The grandmothers are old, so I left them at the gate of the palace." Dowager? ”
The Queen Mother sighed secretly and smiled reluctantly: "It's nothing, where are all the people around you?" As soon as she said this, the Queen Mother replied, "Sleeve incense, go to the inner library to get some ginseng." ”
"Yes!" Sleeve incense agreed, Su Ruhui and others all looked at each other, Huo Qinglian was also a little surprised, wanted to say something, but saw that Su Ruhui and these people did not continue, silently sat next to the side and waited, after a while, sleeve incense personally held the ebony lacquered wooden plate out, with a wooden box on it, presented to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother opened it with her own hands, but it was a full and complete golden ginseng, tied with red silk thread, but a few people swept their eyes, and they knew that it was not one of the five golden ginseng, but it was just a good one, this kind of golden ginseng, The Huo family may not be able to take it out, in the end, Huo De, the Taishi, the royal family has always refused to miss him.
When Huo Qinglian saw it, he frowned, and said, "Queen Mother, father, he means ......"
"I think it's because you're very tired in front of the bed every day, so you listen to the errand." The Queen Mother said kindly, "Your aunt of the Deng family is young, why is this ginseng not enough?" Although your father is not as good as the imperial doctor, the mourning family also knew in his early years that Huo Changqing knew how to deal with medical science, how could he be mistaken? ”
I don't know if it's an illusion, Su Ruhui seemed to see that when the Queen Mother said that Huo Changqing understood medical science, the color in her eyes flashed, and she almost shivered at that moment. Looking at it again, the Queen Mother regained her unique gentle attitude towards Xiao Huo's family.
Huo Qinglian took it suspiciously, she was probably urged by Huo Changqing to go to the palace, she was not in a very good mood: "It's almost time to apply, the Queen Mother hurts me, leave me to eat and then leave the palace." ”
"It's not that the mourning family doesn't love you, but it's late in winter, and now it's snowing heavily, so it's better to go back early. There is a ready-made hot soup in the small kitchen, you can go and get a copy of the sleeve incense, and then add some snacks, let Lian'er go to the side hall to eat, and go home quickly. The Queen Mother didn't agree to her, which made Zhang Xuan obviously surprised, and Huo Qinglian was also a little stupid, but he still nodded and left.
The Queen Mother showed a trace of obvious exhaustion after Xiao Huo's walked out of the main hall, but quickly covered it up and said to the rest of the people: "I originally wanted to keep you for dinner, but this will be a little lacking in the mourning family, you can go down, dinner is used in your own place of residence, remember not to be greedy, and the food must be hot before entering the mouth." ”
Although I don't know why the Queen Mother wants to urge Xiao Huo's to rush back to Huo's Mansion as soon as possible, they all got up and promised to thank the Queen Mother for her concern, Su Ruhua said: "Queen Mother, we all live in Renshou Palace, and we are only a few steps back, but Sister Zhang wants to go back to Weiyang Palace, although there is a warm sedan chair, in the end the road is placed there, this will be almost to Shen, my sister just said that I am afraid of starving on the way back, Why don't you go to the residence of the courtiers and deal with a few mouthfuls randomly? ”
The Queen Mother was anxious to teach Xiao Huo, but she forgot about Zhang Yuan for a while, seeing her standing there softly and weakly, she was a little deflated, she was a little deflated, she was old, and her body had become worse and worse this year, but what she just said was so negligent, so she looked deeply at Su Ruhua and said: "The mourning family is lacking, but they forgot about it, fortunately you mentioned it, since this is the case, then ask the dependents to go back to the Yutang Hall with you to finish the meal and then leave, the mourning family will call the warm sedan chair to wait outside." ”
"Yes." Su Ruhua responded, put on his clothes with Danzhu and others, and went out of the Detai Palace, the cold wind was fierce under the porch outside, and several people couldn't help but shiver even if they were wearing thick clothes, Zhang Yi held Zhizhi's hand, and said lightly: "You are thoughtful about it." Zhang Zhuan's body is much weaker than ordinary people, and she trekked back to Weiyang Palace in such a cold sky, even Su Ruhui felt that she couldn't stand it, she was almost sick, so there was a bit of sincere gratitude in her words, but the tone was still not very good.
Su Ruhui knew that she was not aimed at herself, but because of Xiao Huo's sake, Changtai's twenty-sixth year of the fall into the lake that could not tell who was right or wrong, it can be said that it completely changed her fate, and it was in a bad direction, Zhang Huan lost not only the opportunity to become the future mother of the country, but even her own health, at that time, the Queen Mother's attitude was biased towards Xiao Huo's, and today, the Queen Mother once again proved with reality that in front of Xiao Huo's family, Zhang Huan's so-called mother's family is nothing more than this, so she can't help but be cold in her heart. Even with Su Ruhui, he naturally didn't have a good tone.
When Zhou Yi'er heard this, she suddenly turned her head and sneered: "Sister Zhang, don't thank you early, who knows what will happen to this dinner?" Some people don't touch anything with me, and I don't know what I'm afraid of, or if I usually do too much and become a heart disease! ”
Su Ruhui ignored her, and only said to Danzhu: "It's cold, I will only take the sister of the Zhang family back to the Yutang Palace, you and I will not be invited, since I go back to Fangyuan, remember the words of the Queen Mother, first drink hot soup to warm my body, and then untie my clothes." ”
Danzhu agreed, but he was afraid that Zhou Yi'er would say something embarrassing to everyone again, so he hurriedly took someone to leave first.
Zhou Yi'er saw that Su Ruhui ignored herself, and she also felt bored, so she pursed the corners of her mouth and deliberately stepped heavily and left.
Zhang Wei raised his head at this moment, and said with a smile: "Didn't you have a very good relationship with her in the past?" How did you become like this? ”
"People always have to change." Su Ruhui said as a matter of course, as soon as these words came out, her two eyebrows were slightly frowned, and a voice in her heart seemed to be shouting: Yes, yes, people always have to change, so is her choice now right or wrong?
She was stunned for a moment, and smiled to herself: Prince Ganlin, the seeds you planted still take root and sprout...... It turns out that unconsciously, I have begun to hesitate and even doubt the future ending?
