"Ahh

I was thinking about how to lure the snake away, but the man grabbed my hand and lifted my sleeve, and I noticed two large, red rashes on my arms at some point, and he looked at them as if he was stunned.

"What's up with this butterfly birthmark?" He asked, it turned out that he had seen the butterfly birthmark on my wrist, "I don't know, I've had it for as long as I can remember."

He grabbed my wrist and took a closer look at me before taking a serious look at me.

"Follow me," he said, sitting up from the wicker chair, catching the little snake with one hand, throwing it into a bamboo basket in the corner, and pulling me into the inner hall with the other.

What a strange man this man is!

It is said that the inner hall is actually very simple, only a small sandalwood table and a few old chairs, but the carving is delicate and cumbersome, although it has some years, but it must be very valuable.

He personally poured tea for me, this tea has a chrysanthemum aroma, it smells very good, he looked at me with burning eyes and drank it, and then asked me: "You are from the palace of Jiang Guo?" "Naturally, he knew the identity of Imperial Physician Wang, so he guessed where I came from.

"Exactly," I replied, somehow there was a sense of intimacy, but we had only met for the first time today.

"Qingluan, it's really you!" He took me in his arms, I didn't know why, but I really didn't like to be held by strangers, I pushed him away and explained: "My name is not Qingluan, I am Gu Yu." ”

He looked at me with tears in his eyes and asked, "Then who is your mother?" ”

"I ...... I don't have a mother," I whispered, does this person in front of me know my mother? Remembering that the concubine had given me a jade pendant that could prove my identity, I hurriedly pulled it out of my neck and asked him, "Do you recognize this?" ”

He took the jade pendant in his hand, tears finally burst out of his eyes, and said, "How can you not recognize it, this is the unique dowry of my Jiangling Jiao family's daughter." "And who are?" I don't know where Jiangling is, let alone the Jiao family.

"I'm your uncle," he continued, "and the only descendant of the Jiao family," he said, looking at me happily, "and now it's just the two of us." ”

Looking at this strange relative in front of me, I didn't know what to do for a while.

"You sit down first, I'll go and make the antidote," he said, and went about his work, thinking that there was a snake outside, and I didn't dare to walk around alone.

About two hours later, when I was almost asleep, he came in with a bowl of medicine, "Drink it," he handed it to me, and I drank it with my eyes closed, but I didn't feel the bitterness.

"In fact, this poison is not difficult to solve, but it takes a lot of effort to boil the medicine, I am afraid that you have been poisoned for a few days, and this medicine has to be drunk for five days in a row to completely solve it," he said while cleaning up the medicine bowl: "If you are poisoned, you will have abdominal pain, rashes on your body, dizziness, loss of taste, you have suffered these days." ”

I felt that he took good care of me, and he was my own uncle, so I thought about how to ask him to help me get rid of Imperial Doctor Wang, and I never wanted to go back to the cold palace.

As if he had a sense, he packed up the gold and silver and some medicinal herbs the next day, and said to me: "Qingluan, since I have found you, let's go back to the country and go to your father!" "I'll tell you about it later," he said, patting me on the shoulder.

It was only noon that he had taken care of the affairs in the shop, and closed the door neatly, "Don't you want all this?" I asked him with pity, and he looked back at the illegible plaque and smiled, "Maybe one day we'll be back." ”

The carriage was very bumpy, and we had been walking for almost a month before we reached the territory of the country. Spring is coming, the snow and ice are melting, the spring water is flowing happily, the willows are pulling out new shoots, and a yellow-green grass tip is emerging from the yellow earth, and I am very comfortable listening to the chirping of birds outside in the carriage.

My uncle is very fun-loving, and this month has taken me to taste all kinds of street food and mountain game, teahouses and restaurants, and even gambling houses.

He also told me my life experience one by one, it turned out that Jiangling was the capital of the country, and the Jiao family was a giant who was famous all over the world for defending the country, and there were also people who were officials in the court. As the only daughter of the Jiao family, my mother married the then crown prince and the current Emperor of the Patriotic Empire.

Weiguo has always been a vassal state of Jiang, and at that time it had just been surrendered, so the crown prince of Weiguo was sent to Jiang as a proton, and my mother, who was the crown princess at that time, also went with me, along with my uncle.

Soon after the mother gave birth to me in Jiang Guogang, the news came that the Jiao family was plotting to rebel, and she was also assassinated in the banquet of Jiang Guo's palace.

After more than a month, we arrived at the capital of the patriotic country - Jiangling, although Jiangling is not as flowery as the imperial city of Jiangguo, but the customs are more unique.

The wine man who buys wine on the street not only sells wine but also shows the guests the skills of bartending, and the storyteller on the side impassionedly tells the legends in the books of various countries, and as he walks, he sees a wooden arch bridge above the street in front of him, connecting the wine shops on both sides of the road, and the talented and beautiful woman tastes wine and sings poetry on the bridge.

Although I have walked through many street markets in the past two months, it is still the market in Gangneung that has the most unique flavor, and all kinds of novel tricks are dizzying, so that I can't walk.

Soon I was attracted by the trick of the man, who put a silver coin in the empty box, and when I opened it again, I saw two white doves flying out, and I was amazed, and the crowd applauded.

My uncle pulled me at this time and said, "We have to find a restaurant to live in quickly, and you will enter the palace tomorrow to see your father!" "I was stunned for a moment, and then I remembered such an important thing.

So we went into a restaurant, where there were a lot of guests, very noisy, we picked a table in the corner and sat down, a handsome little er with light hands and feet, quick action came over, and asked with a smile on his face: "What do the two guest officers want to eat, our restaurant has recently launched a lot of new dishes, do you want to try it."

My uncle looked at me and asked, "Qingluan, what do you want to eat?" "Let it be ordered by my uncle!" When it comes to eating, he's better than I do.

"Then give me all the most distinctive dishes you have here," he commanded, "all right! Xiao Er replied excitedly. We can't go back to the palace the day after tomorrow, I haven't had a good time here! "That's fine," I begged him, "but I can't be with you tomorrow, and you can't walk around," he said, touching my head again.

We stayed here, and I couldn't sleep at night, not really trying to play here, but I really didn't know how to deal with this sudden appearance of my father.

Is he a stern man? Or is it a kind father who is as playful as his uncle?

So I woke up late the next day and woke up at lunchtime.

Just as I was about to go to my uncle after washing, a woman with delicate makeup appeared at the door, holding a pink silk robe embroidered with red peonies, butterflies on the cuffs and collar that looked like they were about to fly out, and a few milky pearls adorned it.

She put down her clothes, there was a vermilion box below, she opened the box gently, it was a complete set of peony flower headdresses, a pair of pink peony flowers shining, peony pearl tassels were pure white and flawless, red agate earrings were crystal clear, and there was a silver fat powder box carved with peony flowers next to it.

I was stunned by the beautiful clothes and headdresses, and hurriedly asked the man, "What is this?" ”

"Miss Qingluan, this is the clothes that Gongzi Jiao asked me to prepare for you, tomorrow I will come over to dress up for you, and today I will explain some court etiquette to you," her voice was extremely gentle, her face was peaceful, her hands were under her abdomen, her head was raised and her chest was straight, she was really a dignified and beautiful beauty.

After that, I didn't have a chance to go out and visit Gangneung Castle all afternoon, and the etiquette in the palace was so cumbersome that I was very tired of learning.

In the evening my uncle came back, he seemed to have drunk a lot of wine, and as soon as he came in he was full of wine, I busily poured him a cup of tea, and he was quite conscious, and asked, "How are you learning the etiquette in the palace?" "It's annoying," I replied.

"Hahaha," he said with a smile, "learn slowly in the palace in the future, and your aunts will teach you," he drank the cup of tea and continued: "The current palace is very different from thirteen years ago, you must be careful everywhere, especially Yuan Shu." ”

"Who is Won-sook?" I wondered, but he didn't speak.
