Chapter 194: Candlelight Night Talk

Gu Qingcheng had promised Tuoba Ling that he would have time to accompany her at night. Ｘ

In the past two days, I have been busy with the porridge shack, and I have not returned to the palace.

She returned to the palace and went directly to Bixia Palace.

Tuoba Ling was in the garden of Bixia Palace, pacing back and forth in distraction, expecting that Gu Qingcheng would not come back tonight.

As soon as he saw Gu Qingcheng, Tuoba Ling threw himself into her arms, like a happy bird: "Allure, I thought you forgot our agreement." ”

"I said, I'm going to be busy with soup kitchens these days." Gu Qingcheng pinched Tuoba Ling's face, "But as soon as I am free, I will come back to accompany you immediately." ”

"Allure is so good!" Tuoba Ling took her hand and walked towards the dormitory.

"Hehe, it's good to come back to accompany the princess?" Gu Qingcheng smiled, "If I don't come back, will Ling'er have to scold me for not believing in my words?" ”

"Don't dare, Ling'er knows you're busy." Tuoba Ling hurriedly shook his hand to clarify.

She looked at Gu Qingcheng with a light smile on her face, and looked at Gu Qingcheng with grateful eyes: "I know that you have pleaded with your father, and your father has sent someone to spread the word, saying that Ling'er will be released in a few days." ”

"Look, I'll just say you'll be free soon." Gu Qingcheng also smiled happily with relief.

"Allure, if it weren't for you, I would probably have to be trapped in Bixia Palace for a few months, I have to be grateful to you." Tuoba Lingdao.

Gu Qingcheng smiled: "Look at you, you are still polite to me." Even if you don't help me raise donations, I will still help you go and intercede with Your Majesty. ”

Tuoba Ling said again: "I heard that the palace people chewed the root of their tongues, saying that you also asked your father to let Mu Cheng not have to thoroughly investigate the instigation of people behind the scenes of Kong Ming's lantern, so that many palace attendants escaped, and they are all grateful to Dade." ”

Gu Tingcheng sighed: "I hope that the people behind the curtain can stop in the future, the palace can be quiet, and Allure will be comforted." ”

They sat down in the temple.

"Allure is really kind-hearted." Tuoba Ling leaned on the table, holding his cheeks, and looked at Gu Qingcheng with admiration, "Ling'er will learn from you in the future!" ”

Gu Chengcheng was a little embarrassed to say it.

Touching Tuoba Ling's head and boasting: "Okay, you are actually very good, you are a chivalrous and honest character." ”

While talking, the palace people quickly brought tea and exquisite pastries for them to eat supper.

It seems that Tuoba Ling had it prepared early in the morning.

"Allure try it, I'll let them prepare it." Tuoba Ling diligently pushed the pastry in front of Gu Qingcheng.

"Ling'er really has a heart." Gu Qingcheng touched his stomach, "However, I can't eat anything now." ”

Gu Qingcheng didn't have much appetite, but he saw Tuoba Ling looking at him with eager eyes.

I couldn't bear to brush off her kindness, so I picked up the chopsticks and ate a cup of tea and tasted some hibiscus cake casually.

Tuoba Ling's face returned to laughter, and said: "It's okay if Allure doesn't like to eat, I'll lift the grounding in a few days, and then prepare a wine banquet for Allure." ”

Seeing her so innocent, Gu Qingcheng couldn't help but like it, and heard her mention the wine banquet, so he told her about his proposal to His Majesty to hold a qushui liuyu and a banquet for her.

But Tuoba Ling was so happy that he hugged Gu Tingcheng and kissed him: "It's so good, you are really good." ”

“…… Okay, okay, don't get excited, I don't know how it will be done, you're satisfied, it's not too late to thank me! Gu Qingcheng smiled and tugged at Tuoba Ling's face.

"Let's sleep with Ling'er tonight, let's talk at night." Tuoba Ling begged bitterly.

“…… All right. Gu Qingcheng couldn't bear to brush her friendship again.

The two were lying on the bed.

"Allure tell Ling'er about what interesting things you have in the countryside." Tuoba Lingyang Gu Qingcheng said what she was doing outside.

"In the countryside, except for studying medicine, I just live a normal life, and there is nothing special." Gu Tingcheng Road.

"No matter what, it's your business anyway, you can talk to Ling'er...... Ling'er wanted to know what interesting things were going on among the people. Tuoba Ling shook Gu Qingcheng.

Gu Tingcheng didn't know where to start.

"Allure's medical skills are more powerful than the imperial doctors, and they can bring the dead back to life." Tuoba Ling persevered: "Well, you can tell Ling'er about it...... Tell me about your powerful medical skills, how can you recognize those acupuncture points and dare to take the needle? ”

“…… Well, well. Gu Qingcheng pinched Tuoba Ling's nose.

Gu Tingcheng thought back to the nurse and the masters, and the scenes of Butterfly Valley were vivid.

There is a butterfly valley hidden behind the mountain in Taiyuan Wangjia Village, and they live in the butterfly valley.

Outside the valley, the Five Elements Bagua Array had already been laid down by Grandpa Tie, and ordinary people couldn't get in.

The villagers also seemed to know it and never bothered them.

In order for her to be able to accurately distinguish medicinal materials and spices, the master asked her to blindfold her eyes to smell and distinguish the medicine and grasp the medicine with her bare hands.

One day in March, Gu Qingcheng, dressed in moon-white men's clothes, walked on the empty ground of Butterfly Valley as usual, with his eyes covered with strips of cloth and a tray in his hand, with several small wooden boxes on the tray.

She knew that her nurse and several masters were staring at her nervously.

There are a variety of different medicinal herbs and spices placed there.

"Ten steps to the southeast, Huoxiang." Gu Tingcheng sniffed and said.

After walking ten steps to the southeast, I found a small table with many small wooden boxes containing different medicinal herbs, one of which was Huoxiang.

"Okay, take five coins of Huoxiang." The master's voice approving.

Gu Tingcheng grabbed about five yuan of Huoxiang in the wooden box containing Huoxiang and put it in the small wooden box on the tray.

She sniffed and walked again, muttering to herself: "Three steps to the northeast, perilla leaves." ”

She took three steps north and groped her way to one of the small wooden boxes at the small table.

"Okay, take three coins of perilla leaves." The master, the nurse and several aunts looked at each other, and smiled again.

Gu Qingcheng took a perilla leaf of about three coins and put it in another small box on the tray.

"Three steps to the northwest, Poria." Gu Qingcheng said again.

I walked to the small table where Poria cocos was placed and found Poria cocos among the many medicinal herbs.

"Okay, take two coins from Poria Cocos." The master said again.

Gu Tingcheng took two coins from a small box and put them into a small wooden box on a tray.

"Five steps to the southwest, Atractylodes." Gu Tingcheng followed the smell of the medicine and walked five steps to the southwest, and found Atractylodes in the dozen or so medicinal materials.

"Okay, take three coins of Atractylodes." The master said again.

Gu Qingcheng took three coins of atractylodes according to his words.

Then Gu Tingcheng took a few flavors of herbs such as tangerine peel, big belly peel, banxia, magnolia, and licorice.

Gu Tingcheng said happily: "Master, today the master wants Cheng'er to take a dose of anti-heat and dampness, stomach nausea, analgesic and antispasmodic medicine, it should be all ready." ”

"Well, Cheng'er," the master nodded, "The anti-pain and antispasmodic medicine is all together." ”

When Gu Tingcheng heard what the master said, he wanted to pull off the blindfold.

"Wait!" The master said: "There is something that is compatible with this medicine around here, where is the city?" ”

The master has always called her Cheng'er, Grandpa Tie and Grandpa Feng call her Little Allure, but the nurse and the two aunts call her Allure.

“…… Something that is mutually reinforcing? Gu Qingcheng muttered.

Master Dao:

"Some medicines, colorless and odorless, are highly toxic and are the most difficult to identify. Poisoned people naturally lose their lives easily.

However, although some things are not poisons, or even supplements, if they are eaten with medicine, they are counterproductive, and they are comparable to poisons.

Whether it is poisonous or not, these are all mutually restrictive things, and patients do not know how powerful they are, and they will lose their lives if they delay their illness. Think about it? ”

"Master, since you are colorless and odorless, and Cheng'er is blindfolded, how can you smell it?" Gu Qingcheng wanted to lift the blindfolded white cloth.

"You have never forgotten, you can't see with your eyes, you can't smell with your nose, so you use your heart's eyes." The master did not allow for a beak.

“…… Intention? Gu Qingcheng pouted: "The master knows that Cheng'er has no heart. ”

"Don't complain to the master, and don't play your cleverness." The master's voice was not angry but threatening, "If you don't have a heart eye, use your heavenly eye!" ”

Gu Tingcheng muttered to himself suspiciously: "What the master asked Cheng'er to catch today is the Huoxiang Zhengqi decoction for the treatment of dysentery, vomiting and heat stroke, if you add a taste of arsenic to this medicine, it is poison." Arsenic is colorless and odorless, could it be arsenic? ”

I didn't expect such a low murmur to let the master hear it.

The master looked stern and said:

"The master naturally knows that arsenic is colorless and tasteless, and it is not surprising that everyone knows that it is a poison.

And this kind of harmful poison, do you think the master will stay by his side? ”

Gu Qingcheng hurriedly narrowed his mouth and smiled.

Suddenly, she heard the hen in the yard clucking, and the hen clucked every time she laid eggs.

“…… Egg! It's eggs! Gu Qingcheng suddenly realized, and suddenly said happily: "The chicken nest fifteen steps northeast!" ”

Several masters laughed at each other again.

Gu Tingcheng walked fifteen steps to the northeast and grabbed a warm egg from a hen that had just been born in the chicken coop.

"This egg has a shell, and it is indeed colorless and odorless." Gu Tingcheng took the eggs and walked back to the masters.

She stood in front of her master and said:

"Huoxiang Zhengqi soup is a good cure for dysentery, and eggs are a food with high nutritional value.

However, if a person is sick, if he consumes a large amount of eggs while taking this medicine, it will cause allergies.

Although allergies cannot lead to death, patients will mistakenly think that this medicine is harmful, so they will stop the decoction, and their dysentery and vomiting will become more and more serious, and even die of illness.

The originally good nutritious food has become a thing of restraint and a source of death. ”

"Okay, Cheng'er is right." The master finally smiled and said, "The amount of medicine I grabbed just now is basically correct." ”

He had already checked the amount of medicine, and smiled at Mama Zhang:

"Even if the city passes the customs today, Mama Zhang, let's enjoy our city eggs at night."

"Okay." The nurse came over and took the eggs in Allure's hand, and said with a smile: "Today is Allure and the ceremony, and I will make scrambled eggs with green onions for Allure at night." ”

"Great, there's eggs to eat at night." Gu Qingcheng clapped his hands happily, and was about to lift the strip of cloth.

"Wait a minute!" Shangguan Feixue shouted.

Gu Tingcheng stopped again.

Shangguan Feixue used to be a chivalrous woman on the rivers and lakes, and she stayed in Butterfly Valley for more than ten years for Gu Tingcheng.

Most of Gu Tingcheng's kung fu was taught by her.

Aunt Shangguan said: "Allure, there are a few mountain rats over there who want to steal eggs, it's really hateful!" You shot them and gave us some food in the evening. ”

After a pause, my aunt said, "But if you accidentally shoot that old hen to death, you won't have any eggs to eat in the future." ”

"Okay, aunt, master, Cheng'er will bring you a dish of braised mountain rat meat tonight!"

Gu Qingcheng's fingers were slit, and there were three silver needles in an instant.

Then he said in the direction of Grandpa Tie: "Grandpa Tie has to show his skills." ”

"Okay, Xiao Chengcheng is really good, Grandpa Tie is waiting!" Grandpa Tie laughed.

Gu Qingcheng's silver needles were in his hands, his ears fluttered, and following the chirping of the mountain rats, six silver needles suddenly shot out.

Each of the mouses, with two needles in their bodies, fell to the ground and struggled and rolled, squeaking and squeaking.

Gu Tingcheng finally took off the blindfold.

Grandpa Tie was the happiest, and walked over and rubbed Gu Qingcheng's head vigorously, but looked at Shangguan Feixue and said:

"Shangguan Feixue, your master is not in vain, Xiao Chengcheng's flying needle is getting more and more advanced, and now he can shoot three mountain rats at once."

Gu Qingcheng grimaced his face and brushed his hair that had been messed up by Grandpa Tie.

Grandpa Tie said that he would go over and mention the mountain rats and go to slaughter them and skin them.

The nurse changed Gu Tingcheng into a good-looking moon-white gauze skirt, embroidered with very good-looking folded peach blossoms under the skirt, and butterflies dancing next to the flower branches.

Qin Panruo was like a bride, helping Gu Chengcheng out of the wooden house.

The Little Allure City is particularly charming today, and the butterflies in Butterfly Valley are also very cheerful.

In the butterfly valley where butterflies are flying, Aunt Qin Banruo combed her hair and gave her the sunset moonlight hosta.

"Look, our little Allure City, today and the ceremony, grow up!" Qin Panruo said happily.

Shangguan Feixue looked at the rejuvenated Gu Tingcheng, as if she was doing a trick, and also gave her a good-looking golden hairpin.

Holding Gu Tingcheng's shoulder, he said: "Our Allure is not only getting more and more powerful, but also getting more and more beautiful, I don't know which stinky boy has such a good fortune in this world to marry our family!" ”

Gu Qingcheng looked at the masters, his eyes overflowing with tears.

The nurse is rarely gentle, and earnestly taught: "Allure, don't look at you as a child, in the eyes of the nurse and your masters, you are still a child." There are a lot of things that you have to learn hard. ”

"Got it, nurse." Gu Qingcheng nodded and said obediently.

At that moment, he bowed to the nurse and the masters, and said gratefully: "Allure is in time today, but I have not thanked the nurse for her hard work over the years and the careful teaching of the masters. ”

"Allure is a good ......" The nurse burst into tears, as if she had thousands of words on her lips.

Grandpa Tie brought a small bronze figure over, and it was painted with dense acupuncture points.

He handed the bronze man to Gu Tingcheng, and said with a smile: "Little Chengcheng, today you have a gift, Grandpa Tie doesn't have any decent jewelry for you, so I will give you a little bronze man." ”

"Thank you, Grandpa Tie." Gu Qingcheng hugged the white-haired Grandpa Tie.

This bronze figure was cast by her and Grandpa Tie together.

The crane-haired and childlike Grandpa Feng touched Gu Qingcheng's head and said with a smile:

"Little Allure, Grandpa Feng has no long things, and he has no gifts for you. But Grandpa Feng teaches you to play a chess game at night, and you can easily break your master's "Peach Blossom Spring". ”

"Okay, Grandpa Feng can teach Little Allure to play, it's already the best gift, thank you Grandpa Feng." Gu Qingcheng hugged Grandpa Feng and said happily.

Master Murong Fu is always wearing a long shirt and cloth shoes, he also walked over, took out two porcelain jars from his big sleeves, handed them to Gu Qingcheng, and said with a slight smile:

"Cheng'er, this is a snow skin balm and a gold moisturizer prepared for the teacher, rubbing your face and hands in the morning and evening, it will be very beneficial to your skin."

"Thank you, master." Gu Tingcheng hugged the master even more happily.

"Look at you, it's all right, and you're still like a child." The master touched Gu Qingcheng's head lovingly.

The master looked at Gu Tingcheng, and said fondly: "The master tested you, do you know these two porcelain jars, which one is the Snow Muscle Jade Cream, and which one is the Golden Moisturizer?" How are they made? ”

The nurse, Aunt Qin, Aunt Shangguan and Grandpa Tie, who was smoking a dry tobacco pouch, also surrounded them.

The two porcelain jars are exactly the same.

Gu Tingcheng put a porcelain jar to his nose and sniffed, without unscrewing the lid, and grinned:

"Master, this is Snow Muscle Jade Face Cream. The materials are: green wood incense, white aconite, white ash, tonka incense, fragrant aconite each 12 coins, white poria, jatamansi each 6 coins, sheep pith one and a half catties.

Chop the above spices, take half a catty of wine and water, soak the medicine for one night, fry until the wine is exhausted, consider the slag paste to be made, and store in a porcelain jar for later use.

It is used to coat the face, make the face shiny, but old and wrinkle-proof, and treat facial pigmentation. ”

The master smiled and nodded.

Gu Tingcheng looked at the other porcelain jar in his hand again, and said:

"This bottle should be a golden moisturizer. Not only is the ingredients not simple, but it is also time-consuming to make:

Two pig's trotters, one pound of white beam rice, three taels of white poria, three taels of Shanglu, one tael of Angelica dahurica, one tael or two of Gaoben, six coins of Yuzhu, half a catty of peach kernels, six coins of sweet pine and six coins of tonka.

First, the pig's trotters and white beam rice are decocted with water until the pig's trotters are ripe, take three catties of juice, and then add the white poria cocos, the end of Shanglu, the end of Angelica dahurica, the end of the root root, the end of the jade bamboo, and the peach kernel puree, and continue to fry again.

When the juice is reduced to half, filter and remove the slag, then mix in the jatamansi and tonka powder, stir well, and store in a porcelain bottle for later use.

Apply to your hands every night and wash off the next morning. It can remove wrinkles on the hands and faces, treat facial pigmentation, and make the skin white and shiny. ”

The master smiled and shook his head with relief: "Today is the day of the city and the day, and it can be regarded as the day of the city's teacher." ”

Gu Qingcheng immediately knelt down and said seriously:

"Master, there is no end to medical skills, even the master is constantly studying every day, how can Cheng'er calculate the teacher."

"The children can be taught." Murong Fu helped Gu Qingcheng again, nodded and praised: "Not arrogant or impatient, pure heart." It's not in vain for a few of us, so attentive to you. ”

Qin Panruo looked at Gu Qingcheng's Snow Muscle Jade Cream and Qianjin Moisturizer, salivating.

"Mr. Murong, you are too partial, we are naturally beautiful, and we don't need any emollient cream at all." Qin Panruo said, "It's me, Feixue and Mama Zhang, but I have really become a yellow-faced woman." This snow skin cream and gold moisturizer, you can also give us a few. ”

"Cheng'er is also your apprentice, and now that she can concoct it herself, you can let Cheng'er concoct it for you." Murong Fu laughed.

"Aunt Qin, you can use it first, and then I will slowly concoct it for Aunt Shangguan and the nurse." Gu Tingcheng wanted to give the snow muscle jade face cream in his hand to Qin Panruo.

"No, this is a gift from your master, you can't give it away." Qin Panruo excused.

"Since the master gave it to Allure, you are also my master, which is divided between each other, my aunt will use it first." Gu Qingcheng grinned.

Stuffed the porcelain jar into Aunt Qin's hand, and then whispered in Qin Panruo's ear: "Actually, Allure is not used to using these slimy things at all. ”

Qin Banruo was reluctant and embarrassed, and was in a dilemma......

"Alright." Murong Fu took out a few more porcelain jars in his big sleeve, handed them to the nurse and the two aunts respectively, and said with a smile: "Qin Panruo, Shangguan Feixue, Mama Zhang, you all teach Cheng'er so well, how can the old man be so stingy!" ”

Everyone laughed.
