He Ningxin dug up the herbs from the medicine garden in the blessed land of Sumeru, put them in a cloth bag, and carried them into the small building of the blessed land of Sumeru.
Inside the small building, there are furnishings that she is too familiar with.
In Pei Shufen's Langjin Cave Heaven, she once lived in it for more than two years. Later, she was reborn as He Ningxin, and she had this identical mirror space again, and she went in every now and then.
She didn't even have to look closely to know that the floor below was a boxy hall. On the wall facing the door, there is an ancient painting with a rhombic mirror on a red wooden bracket. Underneath the ancient painting, there is a rosewood incense case, on which is a small bronze incense burner, in which three incense sticks are inserted. The three sticks of incense have been lit in the incense burner, and after so many years, they have never burned out. He Ningxin even remembered the length of the three incense sticks and the shape of the smoke on the top.
On the left side of the incense burner, there is a plum blossom-shaped crystal tray with several white lotus flowers in it. On the right side of the incense burner is a blue and white porcelain flower bottle with several dead branches more than a foot long inserted in it.
When He Ningxin walked into the hall, she had planned to enter the small door next to her without seeing it and go upstairs as before, but she felt that something was wrong.
It's the kind of feeling when you look at something for many years and you feel that it is too familiar to know it anymore, and suddenly you realize that something is different.
He Ningxin subconsciously stopped and looked at the wall facing the door in the hall.
There was a huge old painting with a mirror identical to the one on the dressing table on the third floor.
He Ningxin stared at the painting for a while, and her brows slowly frowned.
I saw that the mirror on the picture was no longer the smooth and smooth appearance she was familiar with before, but it seemed to have more fine lines, like the ice cracks on the Guquan celadon, although it still looked graceful and beautiful, it was completely different from before.
He Ningxin was stunned for a moment. Her eyes shifted from the ancient paintings on the wall to the incense table beneath them.
This time, the changes are even greater.
He Ningxin hurriedly walked over and saw that the three sticks of incense on the incense case were actually half shorter!
These three incense sticks, which have been burning and never seem to be short, are actually half short!
He Ningxin looked at the left side of the incense burner again, the crystal tray that held the white lotus. At a glance, He Ningxin let out a low exclamation and covered her mouth with her hand, as if she was afraid that people would hear it.
I saw that the water in the crystal tray was almost half missing, and the white lotus flowers also slowly closed from the blooming state, and the flower shape was much smaller.
And the dead branches inserted in the blue and white porcelain flower bottle on the right side of the incense burner actually bloomed with clusters of green shoots!
It didn't seem to change before, but now it has changed.
It used to look like it wouldn't die, but now it's dying.
It didn't look alive before, but now it's happy.
What the hell is going on?
He Ningxin went up to the second floor with a suspicious stomach, first used her own improved prescription to make a few bottles of pills specifically for the problems brought by the Pei family girl from the womb. Then he wrapped the remaining herbs and took them out of the blessed land of Sumeru with the "Hundred Herbs".
Coming out of the blessed land of Sumeru, He Ningxin called the white tea who was waiting in the outhouse to come in, and ordered: "Go and send a post to the Pei family, just say that I want to visit tomorrow, and it is inconvenient to see the old man and the old lady of the Pei family, the eldest lady, and the gentleman of Lin'an Township." ”
Bai Cha answered, went out to the outer courtyard to find the chief steward, and gave the lady's instructions.
The chief steward of the outer courtyard did not dare to slack off, so he quickly took the post from the Zhenguo Mansion and sent it to Pei's house.
Pei Lixing, the old man Pei, happened to be at home, so he didn't go to the imperial study in the palace to pick up He Ningxin's post, and asked the people from the Zhenguo Mansion to go back and spread the word, saying that he would wait at home after noon tomorrow.
He Ningxin listened to the message at night, and checked the things she was going to bring tomorrow again, before falling asleep.
After a while at noon the next day, He Ningxin took the bus of the Zhenguo Mansion and came to Pei's house, first to see Pei Lixing, the old man of Pei, and second, to add makeup to Pei Qianqian, the king of Lin'an Township.
When He Ningxin went, Old Man Pei hadn't come back yet, so he had to go to the inner courtyard first and met Old Madam Xia, Shen and Pei Qianqian.
Seeing He Ningxin coming, Pei Qianqian was very happy, and chased after him and asked why Xiao Ziyan didn't come?
He Ningxin is here today, adding makeup is a trivial matter, the important thing is to explain to Old Man Pei, and when he heard this, he smiled at Pei Qianqian and said, "He will make trouble, and I will bring him out after a while." ”
Pei Qianqian smiled and nodded: "Don't forget, Mother Yi, I can remember it." ”
After a few people laughed for a while, He Ningxin sent the box she brought in, and said to Pei Qianqian: "This is a little bit of Yimu's heart, and I hope that the townsman will not dislike it." ”
Saying that, He Ningxin personally opened the lid of the box, and first took out a ruler carefully wrapped in cyan muslin, which was the half of Tianshuibi, opened it to the people in the house, and said, "This is half a Tianshuibi." If you like it, it's good to keep it for a long gown and skirt.
Pei Qianqian exclaimed, got up and asked, "This is Tianshuibi?" I couldn't help but reach out and gently touch the smooth fabric.
He Ningxin smiled and nodded: "It's a pity that there is only half a horse." ”
Shen Shi hurriedly said: "The Duchess of Zhenguo is too polite, not to mention half a horse of Tianshui Bi, even if it is a handkerchief, it is hard to find now." He said to Pei Qianqian: "Qianqian, this is a real gift, why don't you thank your mother?" ”
Pei Qianqian tied his hands and wanted to give He Ningxin a big gift.
He Ningxin hurriedly stopped her and said, "These are all things outside the body, so you don't need such a big gift." ”
Old Madam Xia also thanked He Ningxin beside her.
He Ningxin wrapped Tianshui Bi, put it back in the carrying box, and took out the box containing the head and face jewelry and festive things, opened it and showed Pei Qianqian one by one, and said with a smile: "The golden gourd of the hundred sons and thousands of grandchildren is hung in the wedding tent, don't forget it when the time comes." Speaking of the happy account, He Ningxin remembered something again and asked Shen: "Who did you invite to make the bed for the villager?" ”
When getting married, the layout of the bed in the new house usually requires a blessed relative in the woman's family to help make the bed. Especially the kind of parents who are alive, fū'qī and shun, who have children and daughters, and who have siblings and elders to help.
Shen smiled and said, "Invited our third aunt wife." ”
He Ningxin knew that it was the third girl of the Pei family, and now Pei Shufang, the eldest and youngest grandmother of the Luo family.
Pei Shufang is now more and more capable, and he is also a blessed person with high parents, children around his knees, and brothers and sisters.
He Ningxin nodded with a smile and said, "Okay." Then he asked, "Is there a fixed date?" ”
Although Pei Qianqian will be married in three years, Pei Shufang is now in charge of the Luo family's fleet, and he may go to sea again when he will go.
Old Madam Xia hurriedly said, "It's okay." Fang'er said she wouldn't go to sea again. When the time comes, just set a date and talk to her. ”
He Ningxin was relieved, and after a few more gossips, she heard a message from someone in the outer courtyard, saying that Old Man Pei had come back and wanted to see the Duchess of Zhenguo.
He Ningxin got up to say goodbye and went to the other end of the second gate.
Coming out of the second gate, He Ningxin took her maid and mother-in-law, holding a cloth bag, to the outer study of the outer courtyard of Pei's house, and saw Pei Lixing, the old man of Pei.
Looking at the past along the way, He Ningxin keenly found that the rune paper she had sent over before had been pasted to the ground, and it could be seen that the person who pasted the rune paper was quite careless and disapproving. I don't know if it was like this in the morning, or if it became like this after the days were long and the wind and rain were blowing.
If such a rune paper falls, it will have no effect at all.
He Ningxin had something on her mind, and when she entered Pei Li's study outside the province, she looked a little worried.
Pei Lixing saw He Ningxin's appearance, and he was secretly strange in his heart.
The two sat down in the study, and let the little maid serve tea, Pei Lisheng asked bluntly: "May I ask why the Duchess of Zhenguo is worried?" ”
He Ningxin hesitated for a moment and asked Pei Lixing: "Last time, I asked someone to send some rune paper, but it seems that some of them were not pasted in the proper place.
Pei Lixing was silent for a while, and said, "Zi is silent, and the strange power is confused. The sage has a word that he dare not forget. ”
He Ningxin knew Pei Lixing's temper very well. Their Pei family is a serious scholar, and they originally have a respectful attitude towards these things that are about the monks and monks.
If I hadn't experienced it myself, I wouldn't have believed all this.
Because of Pei Lixing's attitude, He Ningxin didn't dare to speak out, and couldn't help frowning even tighter.
Pei Lixing was worried that these runes would affect He Ningxin. Seeing that her face was getting more and more gray, she quickly got up and tore off a few pieces of rune paper posted in the study, took them to the outside room and threw them away, before she came back and sat down, with a righteous and awe-inspiring look: "Life and death are fate, wealth is in the sky, I don't believe in this." Although the Duchess of Zhenguo is relieved, she often comes to sit when she is free, which means that the family is close. ”
He Ningxin was stunned, looked at Pei Lixing suspiciously for a while, and said a little sarcastically: "Old man Pei is gracious, Ning Xin is grateful." ”
Pei Lisheng also regretted his gaffe a little, and hurriedly covered it up: "You are a humble and humble mother, naturally just like a family." ”
He Ningxin had something in her heart, and she didn't think of anything else for a while, so she took out the book "Hundred Herbs" from her sleeve pocket, held it in both hands, presented it to Pei Lixing, and said: "Thank you for not giving up on Old Man Pei, treat Ning Xin like a family member." Ning Xin was grateful, and with this medical book, she hoped to help Master Pei. ”
Pei Lisheng silently took "Baicao Sang" and opened it to take a look.
Although Pei Lixing is a Confucian student, he loves to read since he was a child. In addition to the subset of scriptures and histories, various astrological medical books, farming, field hunting, are all involved. At this time, when he saw it, he immediately noticed the defects of this medical book, and asked He Ningxin: "Why are the prescriptions here only available to monarchs and ministers, and no assistants?" Does it work? I thought He Ningxin had picked up an ancient medical book from a pile of old papers.
He Ningxin smiled and said, "To tell Old Man Pei the truth, most of the prescriptions here are ancient recipes that have been lost. Except for the lack of adjuvant medicine, there are no other mistakes. If Old Man Pei can transcribe each prescription and take it to the powerful doctor to see, it is easy to add adjuvant medicine and make up for these prescriptions. - It is also a great merit to be able to help the world and save people in the future. ”
He Ningxin walked over again, pointed to a prescription inside, and said, "This prescription was made up by myself, specifically for some problems caused by the womb. ”
Pei Lixing glanced at He Ningxin, then at the prescription, and nodded, "I understand." Always innocent and guilty. - I'll be careful. ”
He Ningxin knew that Pei Lisheng fully understood what she meant, and she was even more full of joy, and immediately took out more than a dozen small pills that she had made in the blessed land of Sumeru, and put them on the desk in front of Pei Lixing, and said: "This is the pill I made according to that recipe, because it is made with some herbs that grow in the deep mountains and old forests, and the medicinal effect is stronger than the herbs raised in ordinary fields." Old Man Pei might as well stay and give it to the girls in need of the Pei family. ”
Seeing Pei Lixing's thoughtful eyes, He Ningxin said: "Ning Xin heard Qianyi say that his mother was brought from the womb, and she has always been weak and weak, so she didn't live long. I made this medicine specifically for the problems brought by this kind of fetus, taking a bottle, you can prolong life, and it is no different from ordinary people. ”
Pei Lisheng looked at the small medicine bottle on the desk, his eyes were a little moist, and he nodded heavily: "Okay...... Good ......"
Seeing that Pei Lixing accepted his kindness without hesitation, He Ningxin was overjoyed, and Suo Xìng took the cloth bag he brought to the desk and opened it, and said to Pei Lixing: "Here are the most important herbs. Old Man Pei took it and planted one for the people who would serve flowers and plants in the house, and just keep one seed. This herb loves shade, as long as it is planted under the shade of a tree, it is not exposed to the sun. ”
Pei Lisheng looked at the medical books, medicine bottles and herbs on the table, and finally sighed and said, "You live your life well, and you always care about what we do?" With tears in his eyes, he looked at He Ningxin.
He Ningxin was flustered by Pei Lixing's eyes, and stammered a little: "Pei ...... Mr. Pei······ What are these words······ The words ......" couldn't be said anymore, so he had to say in a panic: "There is still something in my house...... That's the farewell······" fled and left the Pei family.
Pei Lixing saw He Ningxin's back and fled, knowing that he had shocked her for a long time, and he regretted it very much, and sat alone in the study for most of the night.
Coming back from the, He Ningxin's heart kept beating hard. She never expected that Pei Lixing seemed to have realized something.
The more concerned Xu is, the more he can't see zhēn'xiàng clearly.
Although He Ningxin misses her parents in her previous life very much, she doesn't want to recognize the Pei family. She can see very clearly that Pei Shufan is dead, and she is only He Ningxin now.
He Siping and Mrs. Xu are her parents.
After all these years, her soul has long since become one with this body.
The Zhenguo Mansion is her husband's house. The He family is her maiden family. She is just doing the last thing she can to the Pei family.
What if the Pei family finds out about the He family?
The pain that the Pei family has experienced, she doesn't want the He family to go through it again.
Since God let her be reborn as He Ningxin, it is to let her finish her own path in this world in the name of He Ningxin.
Everything that belongs to Pei Shufan has become a thing of the past.
Thinking of this, He Ningxin felt suddenly relaxed.
Now that you've made your choice, don't go both. If you delusionally think that the Pei family and the He family will treat her as a relative, in the end, you can only hurt the two families at the same time.
He Ningxin is not a greedy person, so she naturally knows how to give to you. Shu Fen is not very comfortable in Langjing Cave. She also noticed some changes in the hall, and she was also very distressed, not knowing what was wrong with this space. Fortunately, nothing else has changed, she has eaten and drunk everything, but she has not been sad for long, so she left it behind, and planned for Chu Huajin's future, and often secretly went to the Zhonglan Courtyard of the Marquis of Ningyuan Mansion to see her child, the current Marquis of Ningyuan.
After dinner on this day, Pei Shufen secretly came to the wing room where his son lived, and while he and Rǔ Niang were eating outside, he hid alone in the curtain of the inner room and watched Rǔ Niang feed him.
Pei Shufen's son is almost three years old, and he is very thin and short, and he does not look much older than a child who is more than two years old.
Rǔ Niang scooped a spoonful of rice, mixed it with some fresh fish broth, and added a little minced fish minced meat, and fed it to the child's mouth. But the boy twisted his head and shouted, "Burned!" As he spoke, he snapped and slapped that rǔ mother.
Rǔ Niang's face turned red, but she could only close her lips and couldn't say a word.
The two were staring at each other in a stalemate, when Liu Menghan suddenly walked in with someone, clapped his hands and said, "Shizi, this slap is good!" Well played! —ˉ—This kind of minion who can't do things, she should be punished severely. As he spoke, he instructed his own people and said, "Take Rǔ Niang down and hit ten boards."
The rǔ Niang was so frightened that she knelt down and begged for mercy: "Please, please, please, that rice is really not hot!" As he spoke, he picked up the bowl and sent it to Liu Menghan.
Liu Menghan looked at Shizi who was sitting on the side, and said with a smile: "What does Shizi want?" ”
The child sat on a high chair and saw Liu Menghan smiling, as if encouraging him, and even more intensified, Zhong kicked his feet and kicked over to the rice bowl that Rǔ Niang was holding, and watched the rice and soup in the bowl drench Rǔ Niang's head and body, and the child clapped his hands and laughed with joy.
Liu Menghan also laughed back and forth, watching the people drag Rǔ Niang out and go outside to play the board.
The child's rǔ mother was dragged away, and naturally there could be no one to serve without him.
Liu Menghan called one of his henchmen over and instructed: "From today on, you will be the son of the world." You are responsible for all the daily life of the son. All the maids and daughters in this house are under your rule. Saying that, Liu Menghan glanced at the inner room and said meaningfully: "You have to watch the door tightly, don't let those cats and dogs run around!" ”
The woman strode to the inner room.
Pei Shufen was so angry that she forcibly held back, so she didn't rush out to scold Liu Menghan. Now seeing Liu Menghan's mother-in-law coming to the inner room violently, he quickly flashed and returned to his Langjing Cave.
The woman heard what seemed to be the sound of someone gasping inside, and hid in the back room. At this time, I pushed the door open, and I searched carefully two or three times, but I didn't see anyone, which was also very strange.
Liu Menghan knew that Pei Shufen must be hiding there sneaky, and he was very safe.
This rat-like woman is really in the way! A few times in front of the Hou Ye, he made irresponsible remarks and bad things for himself, so he had to think of a way to let her be caught back by Ti Qi again.
Liu Menghan was very sure that since Pei Shufen escaped from the edict, he was secretly hidden in the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion by Chu Huajin.
Thinking of this, Liu Menghan explained a few more words, and then took his maid and son-in-law back to Cining Courtyard.
Pei Shufen returned to Langjing Cave and scolded Liu Menghan viciously in the third-floor room. She could see that Liu Menghan was deliberately trying to raise her son!
How unreasonable!
This slut really gave her three points of color, and he was going to open a dyeing workshop.
Pei Shufen didn't believe she couldn't cure her.
This night, Pei Shufen waited for Liu Menghan to fall asleep, and secretly wanted to enter Liu Menghan's inner room, but found that Cining Courtyard was also pasted with talisman paper, and she couldn't go in directly, so she had to appear on the corridor outside the door of her main room. As a result, I happened to meet a mother-in-law who got up to relieve herself, and when she passed by the corridor, she saw a woman suddenly appear in the corridor, she was startled, and was about to scream, but the woman turned her head and looked at her, reflecting the air death lantern hanging on the corridor, and the mother-in-law could see it clearly, it was the appearance of Aunt Fen before.
Pei Shufen was also taken aback, and hurriedly returned to his Langjing Cave Heaven.
The mother-in-law watched Pei Shufen disappear in front of her, and couldn't help screaming, "There are ghosts!" And he fainted on the ground.
This scream woke up the people up and down Cining Courtyard.
Liu Menghan also woke up, and ordered someone to wake up the mother-in-law who had fainted in the cloister and asked her what happened.
After the mother-in-law was incoherent for a long time, Liu Menghan understood that Pei Shufen had appeared in the corridor outside her upper room again!
Liu Menghan was so angry that his teeth itched, thinking that he couldn't go on like this anymore, so he didn't do anything, and he didn't stop talking, and said to the people in his yard: "This is a big deal, let's order someone to inform Master Hou." - To tell you the truth, Aunt Fen is actually dead outside. ”
When the woman heard that she had really seen a ghost, she screamed again and fainted.
The people of Cining Yuan did not dare to go back to their rooms to sleep, so they all hid in the hall where Liu Menghan went up, and passed yī'yè.
On the second day, Liu Menghan said to Chu Hua: "There are people in the mansion who are troubled, and they want to invite the senior monk to come back and do a ritual." ”
Although Chu Huajin knew what was going on, he also felt that the Marquis of Ningyuan's Mansion didn't know what bad luck had gone, and one after another the dead people also nodded and agreed, and said, "Go to Dajue Temple and ask the abbot." "That's the most powerful monk.
Liu Menghan nodded and said, "It's better to invite a few more Taoist priests." ”
Chu Hua thought about it for a while, and agreed, and said, "Don't let them come to the door on the same day." ”
Liu Menghan got the words, so he first called his own people to pretend to be Taoist priests to come to the door, and took the opportunity to search for Pei Shufen in the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion.
And the king of Anjun learned that the Marquis of Ningyuan Mansion invited the abbot of the Dajue Temple to do things, and he also quickly rushed to the Dajue Temple, discussed with the abbot, and arranged for a few people who were riding to pretend to be the abbot's people, and when the time came, they went to the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion to do things together, and took the opportunity to search the mansion.
