Chapter 344: Stealing Beams and Changing Pillars
That night, Song Xingchen and his wife did not disturb Song Yue after returning home, but rested for a night.
It's not that Yelang has changed his sex, but Song Xingchen's special day is coming, and Yelang can only hide his nature and fall asleep with warm fragrant nephrite.
On the second day, Strawberry told Song Xingchen the news that Master Mingchao of Huguo Temple had entered Beijing.
If it were to be another monk now, no one would pay attention to it, but this Ming Chao master's status in Huguo Temple is second only to the abbot, and it is rumored that the mana is boundless.
"I heard that the emperor sent someone to invite Master Mingchao into the palace after the end of the early dynasty, and those who want to ask to see Master Mingchao are afraid that there is no hope." After Strawberry finished speaking, she blinked and asked, "Miss, don't you want to know, why did Master Mingchao, a person with such status, live in the Great Prince's Mansion first after entering Beijing?" ”
"You've got gossip again?" Song Xingchen is interested in this.
"The slave maid spent a few taels of silver to find out the news, it turned out that the eldest prince had been to Huguo Temple when he was young, and Master Mingchao, who was just a small novice at the time, accidentally offended the powerful, and it was the eldest prince who came forward to protect him, and Master Mingchao promised to repay the kindness of the eldest prince in the future. Therefore, every time Master Ming Chao came to Beijing, if the emperor had not designated a place for him to live, he would have stayed in the Great Prince's Mansion. Strawberry finished speaking in one gulp, picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"It's also the opportunity of the eldest prince." Song Xingchen opened his mouth lightly and said to Strawberry: "You pay more attention to the situation of the personnel on the eldest prince's side these days, including the guests of the eldest prince, don't be afraid of spending money, if you don't have enough, go to the account room to withdraw it, and you will be rewarded if you do it." ”
"Miss, just rest assured, don't you worry about the slave and maid?" Strawberry said happily.
"Well, I'm relieved to have rebirth to help you." Song Xingchen joked, and when he saw that Strawberry was smiling very shyly, he waved her hand to step down.
"Miss, my uncle just sent a letter back." The apple and the strawberry passed by, and handed the secret letter to Song Xingchen.
Compared with strawberries, apples are more stable and responsible for more and heavier things.
"Well, I'm fine here for the time being, you can go to the young lady's place. Hang Gongzi's health is almost better, and it is time for the second sister-in-law to continue to take over the feed and business. Song Xingchen took the letter and said.
"Yes, the slave has been with the young lady for the past few days, and the young lady will take care." Apple was not surprised, and it was very happy.
Because of Hanghang's affairs, Hang Kite has not been in the mood to take over the matter of feeding and business recently, and Song Xingchen is not embarrassed by Hang Kite, so he called the two girls back, but most of the things are still handed over to these two girls.
Although there is a housekeeper, the housekeeper is a man after all, and at Hang Kite's age, many things need to be avoided.
"Go ahead." Song Xingchen smiled lightly, wondering what kind of husband he should find for Apple in order to be worthy of such a delicate person.
However, this thought was only a flash, and Song Xingchen opened the letter and read it.
Yelang's letter only had a few sentences, but it wrote things very clearly, but it made Song Xingchen frown.
"How could the eldest prince have a relationship with the An family? Is he crazy? Song Xingchen muttered to himself, and hurriedly got up and went out of the house.
Although there are some things that don't need her to come forward, just leave them to the men, but Song Xingchen has always disliked passivity.
Ye Lang can inform Song Xingchen of this matter, and naturally he will report it to Zhou Feng, which Song Xingchen does not doubt, after all, this is a family matter of the Son of Heaven.
And what Song Xingchen is worried about now is that the An family and the Divine Doctor Valley have joined forces, and they must have an unending coveting heart for the immortal water.
Although there is not much left in Shen Yi's medical hall, there is still some stock, and Song Xingchen can't let these things fall into the hands of people like Divine Medicine Valley or An Jia.
Hurriedly went out, Song Xingchen only asked the coachman to take her to Shen Yi's medical hall, and then entered the backyard of the medical hall alone.
Looking at the traces in the yard that had obviously been turned over, Song Xingchen knew in his heart that sure enough, those people were hands-on.
"It's long overdue." Song Xingchen scolded in a low voice, and rushed to Shen Yi and Song Yue's residence quickly, seeing that even the bed in the house had collapsed, and there was no place to put his feet.
"It's hateful, it's still a step too late!" Song Xingchen turned around angrily and went back to the house, and went to Song Yue to tell him about the situation in the medical hall.
After listening, Song Yue was also annoyed, but quickly regained her composure.
"Little sister, don't worry, those people can't find fairy water." Song Yue's words are conclusive.
"Why is the second sister so sure?" Song Xingchen frowned and said: "The entire medical hall, except for the latrine, has been cleaned, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is three feet into the ground." ”
"You don't believe what the second sister said?" glared at Song Xingchen angrily, Song Yue took out a key from her arms and handed it to Song Xingchen and said, "The entrance to the secret room is in the thatched room, if you don't believe it, you can go and look for it." ”
"Shenma?" Song Xingchen only felt that he was scorched by the thunder on the outside and tender on the inside, and he couldn't believe that it was true.
"That's fairy water, how dare we find a place to hide it at will?" Song Yue said proudly: "So I dug a secret passage in the latrine and led to the well, and sprinkled a lot of poison during the process to prevent someone from stealing it." But even if someone can cure these poisons to the end, it is very difficult to take away the fairy water without this key, your second brother-in-law used a boulder as a resistance, unless you can use this key to open the mechanism, otherwise it is still a waste of effort! ”
"Enough!" Song Xingchen gave a thumbs up, and said with some acceptance of incompetence: "Second sister, who do you and your second brother-in-law usually go to get the fairy water?" Aren't you afraid of falling into the pit? Also, how did you set up the mechanism? Haven't heard of this, do you? ”
"I'll have to ask Yelang, the person I borrowed from him." Song Yue raised her chin and said.
"Okay, then I still don't ask, I know all the skilled craftsmen in his hands." Song Xingchen suddenly lost his interest in recruiting talents, threw the key back to Song Yue and said, "I don't go to the public toilet for a turn, and leave it to check when you have time." ”
"Little sister, did you find something? Why did you suddenly remember to go to the hospital? Song Yue asked.
"Okay, you and the second brother-in-law are destined to have something to do with the Divine Doctor Valley, I'll tell you, but you can't tell anyone else, except for the second brother-in-law." Song Xingchen lowered his voice.
"Okay, you say." Song Yue nodded solemnly.
"The people of the Divine Medicine Valley have a close relationship with the An family, especially the one in the palace." Song Xingchen pointed in the direction of the palace.
"An concubine?" Song Yue frowned, "Is it the biological mother of the former third prince, the former Concubine An?" ”
"Not bad." Song Xingchen sighed and said: "Second sister, now the situation in the imperial court is about to be chaotic again, with the comeback of Concubine An, the eldest prince is no longer silent, but the current life of the Divine Doctor Valley is involved with the Great Prince's Mansion and the An family, I am afraid that it will be difficult to have peace in the next few years." ”
"Why don't we go home and farm." Song Yue said on a whim.
"I would like to, but there are only two ways for the Song family to go now, either to go further, or to ruin the family!" Song Xingchen looked at Song Yue very seriously, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Second sister, you are a foreign married woman, and you should not be implicated, but if you can't get rid of the relationship between the Divine Medicine Valley, you are destined to not be able to get out." ”
"What nonsense? Do you really think that only you, the daughter of the recruit, will always be the daughter of the Song family? Song Yue scolded softly: "No matter what time it is, I am Song Yue, even if I am crowned with the Shen family now, it still can't change that I am the daughter of the Song family." ”
"I know it all." Song Xingchen's eyes were slightly red, and he patted Song Yue's shoulder and said, "Second sister, you have been guarding the second brother-in-law every step of the day these days, I will do a very important thing, and when I come back, I can detoxify the second brother-in-law." As for how to decide what to do in the future, you and your second brother-in-law will discuss it, don't hurt the relationship between husband and wife. ”
"Then you have to be careful." Song Yue nodded, and didn't ask Song Xingchen what he was going to do, but he also guessed that it was related to saving Shen Yi, otherwise Song Xingchen wouldn't have said that.
In the evening, after Yelang came back, the husband and wife discussed it and went to rest early.
The next day, Shen Sixteen came to the Song family as a guest, and he wanted to see Shen Yi, but no matter how the Song family refused, they refused to leave, so they simply played a scoundrel trick.
"Let Shen Gongzi in, don't let outsiders see the jokes, thinking that our Song family doesn't even weigh the silver for the imperial doctor to drink tea." Song Xingchen, who was about to go out, said with a smile, causing many people to laugh.
"Or do you county lords know etiquette, how can you treat the officials of the DPRK and China like this?" Shen Sixteen sorted out the robes on his body, and followed his subordinates into the inner courtyard with his hands behind his back.
Song Xingchen put away his smile, turned around and said, "Let the carriage wait for me for a while, and I'll go back to the room to get an account book." ”
"Yes." The porter responded, and there was no doubt about him.
In a no-man's land, Song Xingchen immediately dodged into the space, and soon caught up with Shen Sixteen.
"I'm really here to see my eldest brother, although my medical skills are not higher than yours, but what if I have a way? You are blocking me out now, do you not want my eldest brother to be safe and sound, so you can marry with the blood of our Shen family? Shen Sixteen stood at the door and shouted and banged on the door.
"Xianggong needs to rest, please go back, don't force me to greet people to send off guests!" Song Yue's patience is obviously not much, especially when dealing with the Shen family.
Shen Sixteen was stubborn, and continued to kick the door and said: "Let me tell you, if you don't let me go in to see my eldest brother today, I will go to the yamen to complain and accuse you that Song Yue wants to murder her husband, you see if the government will come to take you!" Even if you come out at that time, people will say that you are an unclean woman, and you are not worthy of my eldest brother at all......"
Before Shen Sixteen's words were finished, he saw Song Yue open the door of the room, staring at him with a pair of cold eyes, which might eat his expression at any time.
"A cup of tea, get out of me immediately." Song Yue squeezed out this sentence from between her teeth.
"You're going to let me stay with me for a long time." Shen Sixteen snorted, pulled his robe into the house, and quickly ran in the direction of Shen Yi.
Song Yue followed, but where could she keep up with Shen Sixteen's speed, she was left behind.
Song Xingchen in the space came to the bed first, and saw Shen Sixteen quickly take out a dagger from his sleeve, cut off a strand of Shen Yi's hair, and put it in his sleeve pocket.
Song Xingchen saw the opportunity and hurriedly put Shen Yi's hair into the space, and put another lock of hair into Shen Sixteen's sleeve pocket, and no one except her could notice it.
Not knowing that the things he wanted had been dropped, Shen Sixteen pretended to check Shen Yi's pulse, and only snorted coldly when he saw Song Yue running over.
