Mai Lian looked at the lotus flowers embroidered on the top of the tent and became ethereal and blurry, feeling like she was floating in the middle of the river, looking at the asura on the shore so dignified, standing firmly on the shore and looking at her strangely, but her face was so familiar, she wanted to touch that face to see if it was real, but she felt that she could only be like duckweed, slowly drifting downstream with the water, getting farther and farther away from the Shura in her dreams, never reachable. The icy water of the river made her hands and feet tingle, and she gradually became numb and unconscious. Eventually, I could no longer move to support my body to float on the water, and gradually sank to the bottom, and my eyes became darker and darker, except for the faint white light of the Asura in the distance.

This is the fourteenth day of the Tang family's third young grandmother, Bai Meilian's poisoning. Fourteen days ago, thanks to her husband, Lan Xin, who had been engaged to him, pretended to come to the house to make trouble, and when she was close to me, she suddenly stabbed Mei Lian with a golden hairpin. This golden hairpin is hollow with a mechanism, and it contains the poisonous flower liquid of a thousand days of infatuation, and the flower liquid quickly enters her body with my blood.

This damn drug, which is said to last for a thousand days, at first, occurs every seven days, making people feel infinite mania in their hearts, if they are not physically satisfied, after the mania gradually begins to be uncomfortable, followed by soreness or pain in many organs of the body, making people a little delirious; And then the manic beginning, over and over again, for several hours in a row. It is said that after that, the cycle of seizures becomes shorter and shorter.

Today is the second attack, and at the beginning of her poisoning, she knew that Yuling and Yuqin, who were by her side to take care of and protect her, had passed on her matter to the Yumen master who was far away in the south of the Yangtze River. She didn't know if they would tell her husband about her current condition, but she hoped that the two maids would help her after spending a long time with her, and tell him about her condition, so that he could come in time. But more than ten days passed, and there was no reply, and there was no trace of the person she loved. She still decided to wait a hundred days before deciding what she was going to do. But this pain made her really not know if she would survive the 100 days. The only belief that supported her was that even if the people of Yumen would not tell her husband, someone else would be able to bring the news to him. She believed that he would come when he knew. She thought that the big boss of the Jade Gate might be very conflicted in this matter now. He did not want his only grandson to marry the heir of the Jade Gate in the future to marry a woman of unknown origin. Bringing Xinjie back would definitely disrupt his original plan to separate them. But if she really had any accidents, Yumen couldn't afford to lose this face. A huge jade gate, known as the gate of the rivers and lakes of the Western Tang Dynasty and Southern Jade, can't keep the young master's woman, isn't it smiling and generous. She believed that Lan Xin had already publicized the matter all over the capital, so as to sway the men with evil intentions to wait around Aoki Garden, thinking that there was an opportunity. Let her become a person of *, just like herself, she can't gain a foothold in the Tang Gate. Life is good, she doesn't really want to live just for the reputation of chastity, but she really can't accept the abuse of a man she doesn't love, which is why she was almost executed by the former prince in the first place. For the sake of the people she loves, for the sake of her feelings, for the sake of her remaining self-esteem, she decides to wait, no matter how to survive the hundred days, it takes time to pass the message and rush. Plenty of time needs to be given to disjointed messaging and all sorts of delays that may occur along the way.

Melian had searched through the books, but she couldn't find a way to control the drugs, so she had to endure the 100 days with the most stupid patience. She asked Jade Ling and Jade Qin to bring some ice and put it in the cellar, and every other hour, Jade Ling would bring some in and put it next to the bed, and when she was really manic, she would wipe it with ice, but she knew that it couldn't be too long, otherwise, if she didn't die of madness, she would live the rest of her life with rheumatism.

At times of mania, ice doesn't completely solve the problem, and every now and then she has some conjectures and touches her body to bring a little comfort. Last time, at the end, it was really uncontrollable, and she pierced her arm with a hairpin, and the blood and pain that flowed out made her a little sober and a little less irritable. Today is the fourteenth day of the poisoning, and she knows that the torture will begin again, and she needs to gather her spirits to better resist the impending mental ape Ma Yi.

I don't know where her Applejack is now. After thinking that she had been shipwrecked, she actually devoted herself to her beloved husband, not knowing when he would be able to get home. Her Ajie, the third young master of the Tang Sect, the prodigal son who used to play the rivers and lakes and wander outside the wreckage, she couldn't help but smile when she thought of him.

Jianghu Tang Gate I

The Tang family, that is, Xinjie's home, has nine young masters and three young ladies before and after. Mrs. Tang has three sons and one daughter, Tang Lan, Tang Wei, Tang Gang and Tang Xiaoxiao. Tang Lan of the long house has three sons, the eldest young master Xintian, the third young master Xinjie and the little nine Xinye. In fact, the children of the Tang family are all very good, but because the eldest young master, the third young master, the fifth young master and the little nine literary talents are outstanding, handsome and chic, and each has an extraordinary temperament, they are praised by the world, and they are called the four young men of the Tang Sect in the rivers and lakes.

In the days when Mei Lian was the chief steward of Baihuatang, I often heard the girls around her talking and envy these four beautiful men. I also know the jealousy and envy of the girls for this great steward who has a special status in the Tang Sect and can often discuss and travel with the young masters.

The Tang Sect is not only a martial arts family, each generation has the top masters of the rivers and lakes, but also the Kansai clan, in every big city in the country is a family-owned peace inn, perennial Northwest medicinal materials, leather goods and rare fruits into the Central Plains of the big business, many military generals in the court, are from the Tang Men or their in-laws family, many civil officials because of the Tang Men in the capital business has a lot of friends. At the age of sixteen, Tang Lan won the martial champion with his superb martial arts, and took the lead in the spring competition of the nobles arranged by the royal family. Two years later, he made a meritorious contribution to the emperor's parade and was promoted to general Shanglin. Since then, he has been in the army for many years, and has made many meritorious contributions, and his protégés and old departments have spread all over the army, and he has been a general. Because there was no war for many years, Tang Lan asked for a leave of absence to return to his hometown in Xianyang, and took care of his mother at home, but the emperor still retained his title of General Shanglin and the rank of second-rank official. However, none of the three sons wanted to live in the shadow of their father, and neither entered the court nor led soldiers. Xintian began to help the grandmother take care of the Tang family's various businesses very early, and directly controlled the Tang family's inn leather goods and fruits business in the northwest and Gyeonggi. Because of his young age, Xinye has been following his grandmother for many years, and he is also well-informed and meticulous. The third new master, in the Tang family young master is the most mysterious, no one has ever seen him carry a weapon, and no one knows how high his martial arts are, it is speculated that in addition to the Tang family's martial arts, there is also his uncle Bai family's marksmanship, as well as his mother's Yumen martial arts secrets, so that he can cultivate both inside and outside, hurting people invisibly. Anyone who had fought with him would not want to talk about it again.

Tang Wei is still stationed in Gannan, his son Lao Qi Xinwang is in the army, the fourth young master Xinyang is now the leader of the Imperial Forest Army in Beijing, the fifth young master Xinyuan controls the Tang family's freight in Gyeonggi Province and helps his grandmother take care of Baicaotang with Xintian, and the eighth young master Xinqiang helps take care of the Tang family's grange pasture in the Xianyang area. Tang Gang was unfortunately killed in the naval battle of the forbidden Japanese in his early years, and was posthumously named Jinghaibo by the first emperor. His son, the second young master, Xinyu, inherited his father's business and is now a general of Yulin stationed in northern Xinjiang. The sixth young master, Xinping, took the road of Wen, and was the leader of Jichang for three years, and was quite reused by the emperor.

And behind all these people, there is a central figure, the grandmother. Today's old lady of the Tang Sect, the kind and benevolent old man who was called a grandmother by Mei Lian, a young lady from a family of poetry and medicine, when her sister chose to enter the palace to be the crown princess, she chose the dashing martial champion Tang Wen. The Tang family's business seems to be complicated, involving many industries, but the center is the main business of medicinal herbs, pharmacies and Ping An Inn, which has branches all over the country, and Ping An Inn, which is found in every city from Kanseo to Gyeonggi. Every shopkeeper in these pharmacies or inns, whether he is skilled in medicine or strong in martial arts, is a capable person. There is also Baihuatang, which has developed rapidly in the hands of the old lady and her daughter Xiaoxiao and Xinjie in recent years. Now my sister is already the queen mother, and her old man sits in charge of the world of the Tang Sect in the northwest, and her status and authority in the rivers and lakes are not under the queen mother in the court. It is precisely because of this that when Mei Lian was almost executed by him because she was unwilling to have sex with the former prince, the queen mother took care of her beloved little grandson for many years and accompanied her in the deep palace for many years, quietly rescued her and sent her to the distant northwest Tang Gate. Although the former prince Yixiang was deposed because of her grotesque disobedience, she can already live in the sunshine brightly, but in order to reduce trouble, from the first day she arrived in the Tang Gate, the old lady of the Tang family announced to the public that she was her son-in-law Bai Huatian's niece Bai Meilian. From that day on, she was forever separated from her original identity as a maid in the court, and forgot her real name and family forever. But growing up in the deep palace, her insight into people's hearts and her experience in dealing with things, and her perennial reading to the princes the knowledge she heard in the classroom and learned from a large number of court books, made Meilian popular with most people in the Tang Sect.

In the first three years, she spent most of her time in the Tang Sect, and before the former prince was deposed, she tried not to go out as much as possible, only accompanying her grandmother in the Tang Sect, studying the vast medical collection of the Tang Sect, and helping her grandmother with the eldest young master and the fifth young master to consult the affairs of the Baicaotang. The eldest young master, Tang Xintian, is suave, and his literary and martial arts are the top figures among the sons of the Tang Sect. Tang Lan, like his father in his early years, captured the martial champion, and has been garrisoning with troops outside, and later joined the court as a general. The eldest young master, Tang Xintian, traveled back and forth between the capital and the northwest very early, assisting his grandmother in taking care of the business of the Tang Sect and fulfilling his filial piety on behalf of his father. The social status of getting ahead, coupled with the superiority of his own conditions, made Tang Xintian a kind person, but relatively arrogant. I have seen a lot of ladies in the capital, those decent ladies, the sisters of the family, whether they are martial arts or not, although some of them are very beautiful, but they always make him feel bored. After the two brothers were married and had children, he was still looking around. One day, when he was returning to Tangmen, he met Mei Lian, who was concocting a new medicine in his aunt's yard, and made it smelly, and he was wearing a hair that was scattered, which made him feel quite fresh. In the later relationship, he was very surprised by this girl's knowledge and suggestions for the operation of Baicaotang, and it became inevitable to look at each other differently. Although she doesn't know martial arts, after being familiar with the various classics collected by the Tang Sect, she became familiar with all kinds of martial arts schools and luck points, and spent a lot of time researching. Her various behaviors that are not similar to everyone's ladies attracted Tang Xintian to come and chat with Tai when he was free. And her indifference in handling things made him feel that she was extremely easy to get along with.

Among these brothers, Meilian was the first to know Xiao Jiu. When he first met Xiao Jiu, he was still very young, and followed his grandmother into the palace to see the Queen Mother. At that time, she was just a maid beside the Queen Mother, and most of the time during the day she had to go to the south study to accompany the princes to study, and she and Xiao Jiu only met at dinner. At that time, although he looked young and simple, he had actually begun to follow his grandmother to walk the rivers and lakes and take care of the family's affairs. Grandma is getting older, and many things are gradually letting him and Xintian do it alone. So although he is young, he is also quite an experienced Jianghu person. Every time he entered the palace, when the Queen Mother was talking and chatting with her grandmother, he had time to chat with her and laugh for a while. But there was not much interaction on weekdays, until she was forced to live in a nunnery, and the former prince still refused to let go, Xiao Jiu rescued her on the orders of the queen mother and the old grandmother, and sent her all the way back to Xianyang, and they had further contact. Xiao Jiu has a witty personality, a kind and innocent heart, like a cute big brother.
