Chapter 3 (II) You Love Me (III) (II)
+++++++++++++++++++ you love me (III) (below) the dividing line
The winter days are short, the sky gets dark early, and it gets dark before the meal is finished. Tang Zhuang Sanshao's courtyard was surprisingly quiet, and even the guards patrolling around him consciously lowered their movements. Since the third young man returned to Tangzhuang in autumn, they know better than anyone else the changes in this courtyard. It's just that they are well-trained, very well-behaved, and never talk to each other.
When the young master came back today, his face was flushed, and he had already begun to bleed, so when he came back, he rushed directly into the pharmacy to dispense medicine for himself. The third young master is the old lady's heart, and this kind of thing is naturally reported to her old man. To say that the third young master is really a smart person, he knows that if he can't hide it from his grandmother, someone will report it, so he directly explained to them and told the old lady that he was not poisoned, but just fell for the Xiangxue condensation of the Xiangyang Hou Gao family. Xinjie secretly scolded the senior Mrs. Xiangyang Hou while explaining, why did she concoct this kind of yin damage medicine. If you can't control a man, you will be drugged, and you will let this medicine flow out of the rivers and lakes, and the former Xiangyang Hou is aggrieved enough as a man.
This fragrant snow gel is famous in the rivers and lakes, not only because Xiangyang Hou was drugged by his wife, but also because he was given to his girlfriend as a gift by Mrs. Xiangyang Hou. At that time, Mrs. Hou was still resident in Beijing, and most of her boudoir friends were the wives of dignitaries, so the objects of the drug were all celebrities in Beijing. The noble ladies suddenly found that the virtuous and virtuous ladies were all floating clouds, and it was a last resort to tolerate husbands and concubines and find women, or Mrs. Hou was happy to deal with it like this.
Everyone had a heart-to-heart for a while, put down the veil of virtuousness, put jealousy on the table, and became confidants. Mrs. Hou of that generation was a man of the hour in Beijing, and she helped Xiangyang Hou to communicate with the powerful in Beijing. At that time, Chen Biyan had just married into the Tang family, and she was also in Beijing with Tang Wen, she sometimes suspected that Mrs. Xiangyang Hou acted with the acquiescence of Xiangyang Hou, or even his entrustment, and the couple deliberately flowed out of this medicine to become a means for Mrs. Xiangyang Hou to entrap people. At that time, the position of the first emperor was unstable, and various undercurrents were turbulent in the court, and it was not surprising that the Xiangyang Marquis Mansion sought balance between all parties in order to protect itself. It's just that Chen Biyan admires Mrs. Hou very much is that when she was dispensing medicine, she thought that some people would rather use medicine to detoxify than submit to Mrs., so when dispensing medicine, she put a lot of thought into it, so that people can take antidote medicine to relieve their desires, but it is difficult to sting all over her body for two hours. Although this kind of punishment is a bit naΓ―ve, it does not lose the nature of being innocent.
When he heard that his grandson had come back from this medicine, he only asked someone to inform her grandmother, and he didn't let anyone look for Lian'er, so he knew that he cherished her. But grandmother always loves her children, not to mention that Lian'er is by her side, of course, to tell her grandchildren's love for her, so she explains the medicinal properties to her. How can this girl be willing to let her grandson suffer, of course, take the initiative to be the antidote. As a grandmother, of course, just do a good job of arranging for people to wait.
All the guards saw the young master come back with a surge of blood, They have all experienced in the rivers and lakes, and they chose to settle down in Tangzhuang for many reasons, At a glance, they all knew what happened to this man, and they could only hold their laughter in their stomachs, silently strengthening their vigilance and guarding.
Xinjie put the last few silver needles inserted in several acupuncture points on Lian'er's feet into the needle bag, and hurriedly offered medicinal tea to her.
In ordinary days, I can't control myself and feel sorry for her, not to mention today's rubbing, where can she stand it, and acupuncture conditioning afterwards is naturally indispensable. After drinking the medicinal tea, Lian'er rinsed her mouth with water again, and then took a breath, leaned back on the soft pillow weakly, and couldn't help complaining: "Who is this Mrs. Xiangyang Hou back then, with such a fierce medicine, not only is her body extremely tough, but her endurance is outstanding, do you want to kill your husband so much?" It was the first time she had heard of this strange medicine, and although the old lady had told her that the medicine was so strong that even taking ylang ylang would be very damaging to her, and she was mentally prepared. It was only after the real start that she really knew what was so violent, and the people who loved her so much in ordinary days attacked the city completely uncontrollably for several hours. In the meantime, the old lady sent Mother Qu and Mother Liu to bring in porridge and water for recuperation several times, if it weren't for the fact that she always felt that she couldn't continue to dry the lamp, she would not let people into the house to wait. This past day and night can only be described by the word Wind Demon.
"Naturally, I think Xiangyang Hou has exhausted his energy and has no strength to find others. However, when she dispensed this medicine, she was already middle-aged, and she was at the age of a wolf and a tiger... ..."I knew that it was wrong when I said this, so I quickly stopped, but fortunately, Lian'er was thinking about anything else at the moment and didn't bother with him.
"It's ridiculous, but that's the truth. It's just that I don't know what kind of plot the Xiangyang Marquis couple publicized this private matter to everyone back then, and what kind of plot they spread in the circle of noblewomen in the capital, after many years, it is estimated that it is difficult to investigate. β
"That old Huang Li has nothing, it's nothing more than controlling people, from the Marquis of Xiangyang to the ladies of the families she intersected with, people obey their words, I'm just curious about what Gao Shitao took a fancy to Yihua, not only taught her martial arts but also gave her this medicine, obviously Yihua is called by him today, what does he want from me?"
"He decided that you would definitely fold in Yihua's hands?" She looked at him playfully, everyone outside knew that he was a wanderer, and the beauty naturally did not let go at present.
He smiled, she knew him. Today, even if it weren't for her, he wouldn't use Yihua to detoxify. In this regard, he not only disliked this method, but was also very cautious, for fear that others would have a follow-up move. If this kind of thing happens, just go to the Lefang Art Museum and find someone you know to solve it, and you will never take risks with Yihua.
"If you make a move, I will definitely fold it in your hands." He wasted no time in teasing her.
"Do you need me to shoot at anyone?" Anyone can joke, but in exchange for his angry gnashing of teeth, he naturally gritted his teeth angrily.
"You said earlier that Gao Shitao has been practicing Yihua's blood for the past few years?"
"I've always been very confused about Gao Shitao. Although I haven't fought him directly, I always feel that there is something strange about his martial arts. Even if he is a descendant of Wudang, it is still far from reaching the point where the people of the rivers and lakes are terrified and break their souls. And most of the Gao family's original martial arts came from the fighting skills of killing enemies on the battlefield, and they looked heroic in the army, but they were still far from the masters in the rivers and lakes. And whether it is the martial arts of the Gao family or the practice method of Wudang, it does not need human blood, and his kung fu must have other roots. β
"What is his purpose in letting Yihua control you?"
"Yihua said that she didn't know, and this is normal, it's just that the master asked the disciple to do things without explanation."
"Maybe you want me to obey his orders!"
"Maybe I want you to take your blood to practice when you run out of energy and can't resist after spending a good night with the beautiful county lord? Or simply ate you? β
"What did you say?"
"I mean, you don't have the energy to deal with him then..."
"No, you said you ate me?" Of course, there are many explanations for this eating, and it is even more ambiguous between lovers, and he suddenly has a strange feeling, and feels that his scalp is numb, because what he thinks of is not bloody being eaten, but something else. He recalled the last time he saw Gao Shitao, his slightly sad eyes full of mist, and saw his expression of wanting to speak and stopping. If he didn't know that it was the Marquis of Xiangyang, he would have thought that it was a woman dressed as a man. He felt something flash in his mind, but he didn't catch it.
"What are you thinking?"
"I can't tell, do you think Gao Shitao has any special habits?"
"Fetishes? You mean broken sleeves? β
"He has Mrs. Hou, but he still has no heirs."
"It seems possible."
"Is there anything special about the Gao family's martial arts?"
"If there is a problem with their ancestral kung fu, how can his father and grandfather be..."
He suddenly thought of something, and she seemed to think of it too: "Maybe they are both, so the relationship between Master Hou and Mrs. Hou of the previous generation is even more strange." β
"What is the origin of the predecessor Mrs. Xiangyang Hou, and how can she prepare this medicine? Is she worthy of herself? β
"She should have deserved it herself. The former Mrs. Xiangyang Hou came from Yangzhou Mansion and was known as the immortal doctor Liu family. β
"It's the Liu family who treats people and uses dangerous tricks, but can really save people's lives?"
"Yes, according to legend, in addition to picking patients and treating patients with peculiar methods, the ancestors were also good at treating infertility. There were several former imperial physicians in the ancestors, who specialized in waiting for the heirs of the harem in the palace. Because everyone is in Jiangnan, there is some competition with the Chen family, but there is no head-on conflict. After all, the Chen family disdained to do these things. I just heard my grandmother occasionally mention that when she was young, she and the Queen Mother had dealings with this young lady of the Liu family. Specifically, I still have to ask her old man. β
Xiangyang Marquis's wife Liu Zhizhi, hehe, Chen Biyan thought of the past and felt very ridiculous. What she thought was a long time ago would still appear in her life. Liu Zhizhi was also once a friend of her sister Chen Bihua, and they married from Jiangnan to the capital together, and once spent half a month together on the same boat to Beijing. Chen Bihua was still bloody and enthusiastic when she was young, and she thought she had made a friend, but she didn't know that one day she would become someone who hated her and hurt her. Now Chen Biyan understands her sister's feelings, and in her eyes, Liu Zhizhi is a passerby. And this person's grandson made people do it to Xinjie and hit the idea on her favorite grandson, does this matter have anything to do with Liu Zhizhi? Or is it just a feud between juniors.
These two children are more capable and intelligent than ordinary people, and Chen Biyan decided to tell them about the dusty past and let them refer to it together.
