Chapter 70: Self-inflicted
The fire in the West Chamber soon became bigger, and the Xu Mansion suddenly smoked in two places, and the little maids and girls all woke up, and the courtyard was also chaotic all of a sudden.
Lin Jinwen sat in the room and waited for news outside, and the little maids ran back and forth with the basin of water, not noticing that there were more unfamiliar faces in the yard.
Lin Jinwen looked out of the window, saw the people outside, lowered his eyes and sprinkled the powder in his hand into the burning oil lamp, and a fragrant fragrance came out, and the people who wanted to get close outside stopped when they smelled the aroma, they knew that Lin Jinwen was good at refining medicine and making drugs, but whenever there were these strange smells, they would not approach.
The unfamiliar face outside paused for a moment, and saw that the person projected by the window was motionless, hesitated, and turned away.
When Lin Jinwen saw the people leaving, she immediately looked at Mo Feng, Mo Feng understood, and immediately followed quietly, but Mo Xue was also injured before, thinking that these people were not only prepared, but also had extremely high martial arts, and she didn't dare to follow too closely.
Lin Jinwen didn't walk out of the room, she knew that there must be someone staring in the dark, so she waited for her to go out alone.
Not long after, there was a noise at the gate of the courtyard, and when I looked at it, who was the Xu family? And the mother-in-law who followed behind her was still holding Cai'er who had fainted in her arms.
Seeing this, she ran out: "What's going on." ”
"I don't know, Cai'er was thrown at the gate of my yard." Xu Zhaozhao rubbed his sleepy eyes, looked at Lin Jinwen, and then looked at the fire in the west chamber, and said, "Sister Jinwen, are you okay, I don't know what happened this night, they are all on fire." ”
Lin Jin's eyebrows tightened slightly, Xu Boshan and Mrs. Xu glanced at each other, but they knew in their hearts that they were going to calculate Jin's wife or the Xu family again.
Lin Jinwen said: "When it dawns tomorrow, I will move back to the Lin family first......
"Wouldn't it be more dangerous for you to move back to the Lin family? Even if your uncle is not as strong as your father's martial arts, he is not afraid of those cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods, you don't have to worry, this arson uncle will definitely investigate it carefully and find out all the things in the Xu Mansion! ”
Xu Chengqing also nodded, looked at her with a smile and said, "Maybe it's just an accident, what does it have to do with you." It's just that you're on fire today, it's not safe, so why don't you go to sleep in Zhaozhao's house tonight. ”
Xu Zhaozhao didn't mean to be scared at all, and nodded hurriedly.
Lin Jinwen's heart was slightly warm, but she was also vigilant. The person behind the curtain was able to take Cai'er away unknowingly, and deliberately threw it in front of Zhaozhao's door, he must have wanted to warn her, but what to warn her?
Lin Jinwen looked at the Xu family with a smile and said softly: "No need, this yard is very good, the maids are awake and will be waiting around." It's not early, my uncle has to go to the morning court tomorrow morning, don't worry about me. ”
Mrs. Xu wanted to persuade again, but Xu Boshan saw that she insisted, so she only sent some more people to serve, and then went back.
Lin Jinwen sent them away, breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Cai'er, who was unconscious on one side, her eyes were slightly dark.
In this way, until dawn, Mo Feng did not come back, Lin Jinwen waited for the door of Xu's Mansion to open, and immediately called the former old housekeeper and his son, settled on the family affairs, and directly asked the sixth child to secretly arrange for them to leave the capital.
Although Cai'er was reluctant and cried with tears when she left, she also knew that she didn't know martial arts at all, and she was not smart enough, and staying would only cause chaos for Lin Jin'an, so she still agreed.
Lin Jinwen didn't dare to send them off, so she just watched the sixth child arrange for them to get into the carriage, and immediately returned to the courtyard.
In the courtyard, Mother Yang was not there, and Cai'er Bailan was not there, and it was empty all of a sudden.
The weather is still fine today, there are dense clouds in the sky, and Lin Jinwen is sitting in the yard and looking back and forth with the jade butterfly in her hand. The jade butterfly will only heat up when it encounters Gu worms, and when they met Zhao Kan and a few people yesterday, the jade butterflies were even hotter, could it be that they brought with them yesterday or more Gu worms?
Gu insects are expressly forbidden to be kept privately, but when Zhao Kan appeared yesterday, there were signs, and there must be more in the Jingwang Mansion.
Thinking like this, she suddenly thought of Huijue, who was finally summoned by the Queen Mother, and after being silent for so long, it was time for him to play a role.
After thinking about it, she immediately got up and prepared a sedan chair to go to find Mrs. Dingnanhou, but before she could go out, the people from Luofu came to the door, and Luo Shangshu himself came with her.
Luo Shangshu has a bit of Mrs. Wang's shadow, but he looks older than Mrs. Wang, and his facial features are cold and hard, and the corners of his mouth are pursed down when his face is slightly dull, which is very mad.
Xu Boshan went to the court in the morning, and he hadn't come back yet, so Mrs. Xu personally received him to the house.
Luo Shangshu is not an undignified person, and no matter how emotional he is, he only broke out when he arrived in the house: "What about Lin Jinwen?" ”
"Lord Luo, what are you looking for? She's just a boudoir girl......"
"If you don't bring her here now, don't blame the official for personally arresting her!" Luo Shangshu's anger was already written on his face, but he still had some restraint when he spoke.
Mrs. Xu saw the clue, and only told the mother-in-law next to her to invite Lin Jinwen to come over, and then looked at him and said, "Lord Luo, I heard that Mrs. Luo has not been in good health recently, and you are so angry, but for this matter?" ”
"I think you know that." Luo Shangshu's voice was a little colder.
Seeing him like this, Mrs. Xu said tentatively: "Then the lord came this time, is he going to ask Jin Wu to go and see again?" ”
Luo Shangshu didn't speak, he was also skeptical about Lin Jinwen's medical skills before, but this time Mrs. Luo's illness broke out very violently and quickly, although the two imperial doctors both said that there was a problem with the prescription prescribed by Lin Jinwen, but he knew that the literati were light, Imperial Doctor Liu and Imperial Doctor Zhang had always been prejudiced against Lin Jinwen, and this time it was not ruled out that it was because of the misdiagnosis caused by prejudice, and the most important thing was that they were helpless against the old lady's illness, so he could only hope for Lin Jinwen again.
After a short time, Lin Jinwen had already come over.
Lin Jinwen walked to the door and saw the carriage of the Luo family, she turned back, and she has always been very suspicious of Mrs. Luo's illness......
When she arrived at the flower hall, looking at Luo Shangshu who was full of anger, Lin Jinwen stepped forward unhurriedly to salute her, and then said, "Lord Shangshu, if you don't mind, let's go see Mrs. Luo first." ”
Luo Shangshu thought that she would at least have to argue first, but she didn't expect to say a word.
He paused, looked at her hesitantly, and asked, "You don't have anything to ask or say?" ”
"Although Jin Wu has not been practicing medicine for a long time, she will never prescribe the wrong medicine, and the old lady's illness is just a simple woman's disease, and the symptoms are single and simple, so it will not go wrong, so since the old lady Luo is sick, there must be a problem in one link, so Jin Wu wants to go and see it first, and then make a conclusion. If Jin's wife is wrong, she will never beg for mercy, and Lord Luo will punish her. Lin Jinwen looked at him lightly and said.
When Luo Shangshu heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, you still have a little courage, and I won't embarrass you, but if it is really your medicine that has a problem, I will never spare you." "With that, just step out.
Mrs. Xu immediately stepped forward and took Lin Jinwen's hand and said, "Are you sure about this?" ”
"My medicine is fine." Lin Jinwen was very determined, but what the problem was, she only knew when she saw Mrs. Luo.
"I'll let Zhao Zhao go with you......" Mrs. Xu said busily, Lin Jinwen remembered the threat of that person last night, looked at Mrs. Xu and smiled: "I also want to ask Zhao Zhao to do me a favor." ”
"What?"
"Help me go to the princess's mansion, and let the colt be careful about the recent diet and strange people or smells, and nothing else." Lin Jinwen said.
Mrs. Xu understood what she meant, nodded, but still insisted: "I'll let Qing'er accompany you to Luo's house, otherwise I won't worry." ”
Lin Jinwen saw her like this, so she had to respond.
The group quickly got into the carriage and headed towards Luo's Mansion, but at this time, Mo Feng was confused, she followed the people last night all the way to King Jing's Mansion, and then from King Jing's Mansion to the Nine Emperors' Mansion, and then to Zheng's Mansion...... There were people he knew everywhere, and he had to talk for a long time every time, although it was all nonsense, and it was only in the morning that she gave up continuing to follow, because she found that these people were clearly dragging her on purpose.
She looked in the dark and turned to leave, but the staring man suddenly turned his head and called out to her.
"Tell you young lady, don't try to fight with our master in vain."
"Who is your master?" Mo Feng turned around and asked, but the man just smiled coldly: "Then you will know that you only need to tell her now that she is by no means my master's opponent." ”
"If you don't tell me who your master is, how will my young lady know if she can fight with her?" Mo Feng couldn't even guess whether their master was male or female.
The man blinked, thought for a while, and then said, "When King Ning comes back from his errands, you will soon know, and the events of the past few days should be regarded as the first time we met and said hello." ”
Seeing that he didn't plan to say anything, Mo Feng had to turn around and leave.
As soon as she left, the gray-clothed little guy smiled faintly and slowly removed the easy-to-use human skin on his face.
When Lin Jinwen arrived outside the Luo Mansion, she felt that the jade butterfly had faintly begun to heat up, but it was not as hot as when the Gu worm appeared, as if the Gu worm was still hidden in the depths of this mansion, but it could exude a strong sense of crisis.
She followed Luo Shangshu all the way to Mrs. Luo's courtyard, and before she entered, she saw familiar faces.
Sun Wanwan talked and laughed with Zhao Kan from the inside, and just happened to see Lin Jinwen and Xu Chengqing who were coming towards her, and her charming face froze suddenly.
Xu Chengqing didn't feel anything for her, only glanced at her lightly, and then saluted Zhao Kan.
Zhao Kan narrowed his eyes and smiled, and said: "Coincidentally, I didn't expect to meet Xu Gongzi here, just now I also told Wanwan that Xu Gongzi is a talent, although he has no position, but he is stable, and he is from the Xu family, and his future is bound to be limitless." ”
"His Royal Highness King Jing still has vision." Xu Chengqing didn't seem to hear him affectionately call Sun Wanwan by her nickname, so she smiled decently.
Seeing this, Sun Wanwan was a little embarrassed, and simply hid behind Zhao Kan and kept silent.
Lin Jinwen only lightly clutched the jade butterfly in her hand, but the jade butterfly didn't get hotter because it was close to the two of them, wasn't the Gu worm on them yesterday? was with them yesterday, and there was just one more Zheng Ruyi.
Zhao Kan turned his head and looked at Lin Jinwen, and said, "Miss Lin......"
"The courtiers are still in a hurry to see Mrs. Luo, I wonder if the prince can let her go?" Lin Jinwen said directly.
Luo Shangshu also meant this, but fortunately, Lin Jinwen had already opened her mouth, and her impression was a little better.
The smile on Zhao Kan's face froze slightly, and he only sneered: "Naturally, Mrs. Luo's illness is important, and it depends on whether Miss Lin has this technique to return to the sky." ”
Lin Jinwen lowered her eyes slightly: "The courtiers should do their best." ”
Zhao Kan didn't stop anymore and retreated to the side, and Lin Jinwen hurriedly followed Luo Shangshu into the back room.
When she arrived in the room, the jade butterfly immediately became hot, and Lin Jinwen looked up and saw that the person sitting next to Mrs. Luo's bed was not Zheng Ruyi, who was it? That powerful Gu worm is on her?
Mrs. Luo's face was worried, and when she saw Lin Jin's wife coming, her mouth opened, and she didn't say anything, but Zheng Ruyi pretended to wipe the corners of her eyes, and said with a smile: "Miss Lin is here, hurry up and take a look at the old lady." ”
"I'm afraid I have to invite Miss Zheng out first, it's best to go out of Luofu first." Lin Jinwen said lightly, as soon as she was there, she couldn't be sure if Old Madam Luo was suddenly so sick because of Gu worms.
But she didn't say this, outsiders only thought that she was like this for Zheng Ruyi's face, and she was a personal vendetta with her.
Mrs. Luo frowned slightly, and said, "Miss Zheng is also a guest of Luo's Mansion, Miss Lin, why are you so aggressive?" ”
Xu Chengqing believed that Lin Jinwen was by no means such a person who disregarded the overall situation, so he only stepped forward and asked, "Jinwen, but what is the reason?" ”
"Yes, but I can't say it now, please Miss Zheng go out first, otherwise this disease can't be seen." Lin Jinwen didn't count on Mrs. Luo, and only looked at Luo Shangshu: "If Jinwen is to vent her personal anger, she will never be so stupid as to tear her face with Miss Zheng here." ”
Zheng Ruyi's face was slightly red, and tears welled up in her eyes, but she only said generously: "Mrs. Luo, it's okay, Ruyi will go out first." ”
Mrs. Luo glanced at her gratefully, but felt a little distressed about her.
Zheng Ruyi turned around and walked to Lin Jinwen, and gave her a proper salute, before she said timidly: "Miss Lin, Ruyi knows that you don't like me all along, I will definitely pay attention next time, I won't appear in front of you and obstruct your eyes, I just ask you to let me go." ”
Lin Jinwen glanced at Mrs. Luo's eyes that were becoming more and more suspicious of herself, and only sighed faintly: "Why did Miss Zheng bring me to such an unrighteous place, after seeing Old Madam Luo's illness, I will explain it to you." ”
"It's all my ...... to blame"
"Alright." Luo Shangshu was a little impatient, so he only endured his temperament and said to others: "Good students send Miss Zheng to rest outside, don't wait slowly." "He's not confused, what kind of person is Zheng Lai, his daughter is not much better, even if Mrs. Luo is soft-natured, he has a clear eye and a clear heart.
When Zheng Ruyi heard this, he knew that he would not be able to please him if he continued to talk about it, so he only endured the grievances and gave Mrs. Luo a salute, and then withdrew.
As soon as she left, Lin Jinwen could feel the temperature of the jade butterfly drop rapidly.
Then she looked at Mrs. Luo, who was lying on the bed with her eyes closed, her Yin Tang was slightly black, but her cheeks were white, and she looked like she was dying.
She walked to the bedside to check the pulse first, and from the seemingly absent pulse, it did look like poisoning.
She paused and said, "Fetch the silver needle." ”
Xu Chengqing personally opened the medicine bag for her and took out the silver needle.
Lin Jinwen pierced Mrs. Luo's finger, squeezed out a drop of blood, and then dyed it with a silver needle, for a long time, the silver needle did not change, but the jade butterfly gradually became hot.
She thought about it, took out the jade butterfly and buckled it on Mrs. Luo's pierced finger, and Mrs. Luo's face immediately showed a painful look,
"What's going on?" Luo Shangshu didn't understand, so he only asked anxiously.
Lin Jinwen had an answer in her heart, and looked at him a little heavily: "Old Madam Luo has Gu worms in her body. ”
"Gu worms? How is this possible? There is no one in the capital to feed this kind of thing for a long time. Mrs. Luo panicked.
Luo Shangshu's face was also slightly heavy, if the Gu worm was found in the Luo Mansion, there would be people who slandered that it was Mrs. Luo who raised Gu, and there were too many dignitaries and dignitaries who deliberately slandered and violated because of the matter of raising Gu.
His face sank slightly, and he looked at her: "Miss Lin, this is not a trivial matter. ”
"I understand, do you still want to save Old Lady Luo now?" Lin Jinwen took back the jade butterfly, and Old Madam Luo's face immediately became normal.
Luo Shangshu looked at his mother, gritted his teeth slightly, and nodded in the end: "Help!" ”
Lin Jinwen took the silver needle again, this time directly pierced Mrs. Luo's wrist, blood overflowed, she quickly pressed the jade butterfly up, and after a while, Mrs. Luo's face became more and more ugly, and her breathing became short.
Lin Jinwen was also a little unsure in her heart, this method was found after she came back from Changle Nunnery, flipping through several ancient books related to jade butterflies, but the ancient books only said that the Gu worms were forced, but did not say how to solve the poison of the Gu worms.
She didn't dare to be distracted anymore, carefully observed the state of Mrs. Luo, and finally, when fine sweat appeared on her forehead, a slippery black worm directly sprang out of Mrs. Luo's sleeve, the size of her thumb, Lin Jinwen recognized it, which was exactly the same as the one Zhao Kan used for herself.
Mrs. Luo screamed in fright, but fortunately, Xu Chengqing's eyes were quick, and she immediately took the tea cup on the side and fastened it and put it up, and everyone breathed a long sigh of relief.
Lin Jinwen watched the blackness of Old Madam Luo's face quickly dissipate, and then looked at the jade butterfly she was holding in her hand, but she seemed to feel as if half of her qi and blood had been sucked away by it, making her feel weak and tremble with a little force.
"This is a Gu worm......" Lin Jinwen breathed a sigh of relief before saying slowly.
Luo Shangshu believed it now: "How can there be Gu worms in Luofu......" She suddenly remembered that Lin Jinwen had to go out of Zheng Ruyi, and Zheng Ruyi, who had never had anything to do with Luofu, did suddenly come to visit two days ago, saying that she wanted to see her mother, could it be her?
Lin Jinwen put away the jade butterfly, and then said: "I also recently read the ancient books, only to know that Gu insects can kill people, I heard that there were many strange people and strange things in southern Xinjiang in the capital a few years ago, I am afraid that there is this Gu cultivator, and I have to Miss Zheng to go out, because the smell of Gu insects on her body is more than a hundred times stronger than the one that was driven out of the old lady's body." ”
"Then why is she okay?" Mrs. Luo was a little unconvinced.
Lin Jinwen looked at her and said, "It is said in ancient books that there are two kinds of Gu worms that will not erode the host, one is called Lianxin Gu, I heard my father say that the father of my Lin family's distant relatives has appeared, and there is another one, called Gu Mother, not only will not devour the master, but will also protect it, because she wants to treat the host as the first bite of meat when the little Gu worms are born in the future." ”
After hearing this, Mrs. Luo was frightened and disgusted, and almost vomited, but Luo Shangshu's expression was more serious: "Which one is on Miss Zheng?" ”
"Any one is possible, Lord Luo knows how to deal with this matter, Jin Wu is just a doctor, so he will not participate." Lin Jinwen looked at him and said. She wasn't worried that Luo Shangshu would kindly remind Zheng Ruyi, they were still suspicious of Zheng Ruyi now, and what they were most afraid of was that the Gu worm would leak out and cause trouble.
Luo Shangshu glanced at her deeply and turned his face away.
Old Madam Luo had woken up in a daze at this time, she didn't seem to know that she had been asleep for the past few days, and she was a little happy when she saw Lin Jinwen: "Why are you here?" ”
"Let's take a look at you for Ru Yan." Lin Jinwen didn't care about Luo Shangshu anymore, only chuckled.
"Ru Yan......" Old Madam Luo knew about Wang Ruyan, and sighed when she heard her name: "My poor Yan'er." ”
"I'm afraid it's just the beginning. When she met Zeng Gongzi's aunt Ye before, she actually said something everywhere, and the Wang family and the Luo family were about to be the stepping stones of their Zeng family...... I didn't hear it clearly, I just thought about a simple woman like Ru Yan marrying in the past, and I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to live a good life. Lin Jinwen sighed slightly and said regretfully.
When Mrs. Luo heard this, her eyes immediately sharpened, but she didn't show it to Lin Jinwen, she only shook her head regretfully: "What else can I do, if I don't get married, wouldn't I have been poked in the back." ”
Lin Jinwen knew that if she didn't mention the Zeng family's vain attempt to use the Luo family, Mrs. Luo would definitely force Wang Yushi to marry Ru Yan for the sake of the family's face, but now that she knew it, Bacheng was also a little hesitant, so she said: "I heard that when the Queen Mother was in the boudoir, there was a sister, who was also robbed by this, and then the woman asked the master to personally cut a hair for her to be under the ever-bright lamp, instead of her own sins, and then the master instructed her to sit down as a jade girl for Guanyin, eat fasting and chant Buddha for half a year, and then successfully married a high-ranking family, if it wasn't for the death of illness a few years ago, It's also a good story. ”
Mrs. Luo also knew about this matter, and it was all over the city at the beginning, but at that time, a well-known master instructed her to sit down as a jade girl for Guanyin, and everyone rushed to marry, of course, the most important thing is that the woman is not only ice and snow smart, but also has the appearance of the country, if it is used on Ru Yan, it is not impossible.
Old Madam Luo looked at Lin Jinwen with a smile and said, "You Yan has you as a confidant, it is really a blessing from the third generation." ”
"The old lady laughed, I heard that there is a master of Huijue in the palace, who is already a living bodhisattva among the people, why don't the old lady go and ask to see if you have this opportunity." Lin Jinwen continued.
Old Madam Luo nodded immediately.
Luo Shangshu looked at Lin Jin's daughter-in-law with a brilliant tongue, and then looked at the Gu worm sealed with a tea cup on one side, his serious gaze was less, and he waited for the old lady to rest, and then personally sent her out, and only when he arrived at the door did he say: "Miss Lin, this matter in Luofu is ......."
"I will definitely not say it, but I don't want someone to pass it on in my name, Lord Luo, Jin Wu is not around now, and the prince has also left the capital, I don't want to get involved in anything, and I don't want to make waves, you should understand." Lin Jinwen stood with her eyes down, compared to the tall Xu Chengqing, she looked even more petite and thin.
Luo Shangshu has been crawling and rolling in the big dye vat of the Ministry for so many years, how he doesn't know the twists and turns, so he only nodded: "The rest of the things, this official will personally investigate, if there are Gu worms in the capital, it will be a capital crime." ”
Lin Jinwen saw that he understood, and didn't say more.
When she came out of Luofu, she saw Zheng Ruyi, who seemed to be waiting for her.
Zheng Ruyi saluted with a smile before stepping forward and said, "You found out?" ”
Lin Jinwen knew that she would know that she could find the Gu worm, but she was interested in her: "The Gu worm on your body, if it's not a Heart Gu, it's a Gu mother." ”
"What is Heart-Connecting Gu? What is a Gu Mother again? Zheng Ruyi thought of the disgusting Gu worm that he had eaten, and he had lingering palpitations.
"The so-called Heart-Connecting Gu means that two Gu worms that can sense each other exist in different hosts, perceiving each other's pain and joy, as well as life and death, in other words, if one of you dies, the other will also die, do you think the person who eats the Gu worm will eat the Heart-Connecting Gu with you?" Lin Jinwen saw that she didn't know about herself, and knew that she was used by Zhao Kan. However, Zhao Kan, a person who used himself completely in his previous life, disposed of him with a glass of poisonous wine, and Zheng Ruyi, who loved him so much in his previous life in this life, also made such a poisonous move.
Zheng Ruyi's face was slightly pale, and she looked at her calmly: "What is Gu Mother?" ”
"Gu Mother is the mother who can give birth to countless little Gu worms, on the day she matures, thousands of Gu worms will eat your skin and flesh alive from your body and crawl out again, within a year...... Lin Jinwen told her truthfully, looking at her suddenly pale face, knowing that eighty percent is a Gu mother, Zhao Kan is really ruthless.
She shook her head violently and looked at Lin Jinwen with a sneer: "Do you think I will believe you?" I've eaten it myself, I know it better than you! ”
The corners of Lin Jin's mouth were faintly hooked: "Then you want to give birth to the Gu Mother in your body well, and don't be exposed by me." ”
Zheng Ruyi felt numb all over her body when she heard this, and it wasn't until Lin Jinwen walked away from her that she shouted at her back: "Do you think you can win me?" I don't care about anything, unlike you, I care about everything, all my weaknesses! ”
Lin Jinwen's palms tightened slightly, but her footsteps did not stop, and she closed her eyes coldly until she got into the carriage.
Xu Chengqing sat on one side, his face a little serious; "Jinwu, what grievances do you have with Miss Zheng?"
"Cousin, let's go to the silk shop." She can't panic, she can't mess up, once it's messy, it will give people a chance to take advantage of her and crush her with one blow!
Xu Chengqing saw her shrinking in the shadow of the corner of the carriage, no longer continued to ask, and ordered the carriage to turn around and go to the silk village under her name.
Since Zhu Wucai left, the silk village is still operating normally, because the steward here is Miss Zhang, whom Lin Jinwen invited early.
Lin Jinwen got out of the carriage, only to walk into the shop to see, the layout seems to have been changed, more clear and organized, but also more clean and tidy, the shop is all invited to a peugeot girl, wearing the same clothes, with the same hair accessories, the standard eight teeth smiling face, see people coming, look at it is neat and sweet and sweet: "Welcome to Xu Ji Silk Village." ”
Lin Jinwen blinked, Xu Chengqing also felt funny, and said with a smile: "What about the shopkeeper?" ”
"The shopkeeper is on the second floor, and the slave and maid will lead the son and the master up." The little girl bent her eyes and smiled.
Lin Jinwen felt strange: "You know me? ”
The little girl still smiled sweetly: "The shopkeeper has a portrait of you and puts it on the second floor, so that we can see it every day, for fear that you will suddenly come over and treat you slowly." ”
"It's smart." Xu Chengqing laughed.
Lin Jinwen also felt that this Miss Zhang was a strange and smart character.
After looking at it, he was not in a hurry to see her, but said: "In this case, tell her that the remaining four shops will be taken care of as well." ”
The little girl was slightly stunned, and Lin Jinwen had already turned her head and left.
When she saw the person leaving, she muttered: "I thought the shopkeeper was strange enough, and this young lady master is even more strange." ”
"Little girl, if you say bad things about me behind your back, you will be punished for half an hour."
The woman's voice came, and the little girl only shrunk her neck, looked back at the shopkeeper who was stretching her neck from the side of the stairs, and said with a smile: "The slave doesn't dare to say that you're not, just let the slave go." ”
"It's sweet in your mouth." Zhang Xiaofang looked at Lin Jin's distant back, and muttered with her chin in her hand: "Ancient people are really strange, but this Miss Lin seems to be an enlightened person, maybe I can really earn a lot of silver here, and then turn a beautiful man back to modern times?" She narrowed her eyes with satisfaction and smiled, looked at a sword that had not been opened for a long time in her hand, and shook her head: "That's it, how can it be interesting to make money in the rivers and lakes......
Lin Jinwen left the silk village and went to the Dingnan Hou Mansion, and she also had to go to the palace to meet Huijue.
At this time, Zheng Ruyi, because he knew that what was in his body was the Gu mother, did not go directly to King Jing's Mansion, but went back to Zheng's Mansion first, but when he arrived at the gate of Zheng's Mansion, he saw Mrs. Liu, who was bringing her son to ask for silver.
When Mrs. Liu saw her coming, she also knew that she was polite, and said with a smile: "Ruyi, where did you come back?" ”
Zheng Ruyi glanced at her lightly, and didn't even want to be perfunctory, so she walked in directly.
As soon as she left, the tall man beside Mrs. Liu, who was still drooling, pounced on her, hugged her in his arms and shouted vaguely: "Sister Ruyi, play with me and don't leave...... His mother told him that he wanted to play like this with the concubines in the room.
Mrs. Liu was also startled, and hurriedly pulled him away, pushed Zheng Ruyi out, and then smiled at her: "The child is not sensible, but Miss Zheng, you should pay attention next time, don't wear such heavy makeup, in the eyes of men, this is ...... seduction"
Zheng Ruyi's face turned blue with anger, and he looked at him coldly: "If you're fine, go home......"
"How can it be okay, you haven't given the 10,000 taels yet." Mrs. Liu is not in a hurry anyway, what she is best at is stalking with good words.
Zheng Ruyi saw that she didn't know how to restrain at all, her temples jumped in anger, and she turned her head and walked in.
As soon as I walked into the house, I saw Zheng Jiaojiao coming to me, gritted her teeth slightly, covered up her arrogance again, stepped forward and smiled: "Jiaojiao, why are you ......?"
"Stay away from me." Zheng Jiaojiao hurriedly took a step back and looked at her with disdain, and deliberately fanned the air in front of her nose, as if she wanted to dissipate some unpleasant smell.
Zheng Ruyi knew that she didn't like herself, so she just stood in place, and her eyes became cold: "What are you doing?" ”
"What to do? What did you do yourself, don't you know? If you want to die, you can die yourself, but don't drag down the Zheng family anymore. With that, he walked away a little proudly.
When Zheng Ruyi heard this, she only gritted her teeth slightly, and saw that Mrs. Zheng had already heard the news and rushed to her, and before she could salute, a slap slapped her in the face: "Unfilial daughter, you want to kill me and your father, right?" ”
"Ruyi doesn't understand...... Zheng Ruyi covered his face and barely held back his tears.
"Don't understand?" Old Madam Zheng gritted her teeth slightly: "You quietly released the Ye family and instructed her to kill Concubine Lin, didn't you?" ”
"I don't have ......"
"No?" Old Madam Zheng's voice became sharper: "Jiaojiao has gone to the government to find out, I think about it, who else can you do this?" You have also exhausted all means in order to marry King Jingfu, and when the time comes, let the government find out, you will drag down my Zheng Mansion, do you know? ”
"Then what do you want to do!" Zheng Ruyi was a little desperate, her relatives were the same, she looked at Mrs. Zheng indifferently: "Otherwise, you just expel me from the Zheng Mansion." ”
"Don't even think about it, but I want you to agree, if something happens, you will bear it, and it has nothing to do with the Zheng Mansion!" Old Madam Zheng threatened in a cold voice.
Zheng Ruyi saw that she was reluctant to take advantage of herself and didn't want to cause trouble, so she only snorted coldly and turned her head away.
Since Zheng Jiaojiao can't tolerate herself like this, then she shouldn't blame herself for being ruthless! There are also Liu's mother and son, as well as Lin Jinwen, she will definitely not make them feel better!
Not far from Zheng's mansion, the beggar who seemed to be dozing off against the big tree saw Zheng Ruyi and ran out of it angrily, so he slowly packed up his things and left quietly.
Lin Jinwen went all the way to Dingnanhou Mansion, coincidentally, Zeng Xuehai was also there today, he was saying something to Dingnanhou, Dingnanhou smiled faintly, and said a word or two to him from time to time, until he saw Lin Jinwen coming, he fell on her, and after a long time, she grew up again, her facial features were brighter, and her body was better developed.
Mrs. Dingnanhou sat on one side with her stomach on her hand, saw her coming, and said with a smile: "Sit down, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I thought you forgot about me." Mrs. Dingnanhou seems to be joking, but in fact, she is saying in her heart, Lin Jinwen's fame is getting bigger and bigger, and even Princess Duanhui didn't make it difficult for her anymore for the sake of the horse, she also thought that Lin Jinwen had climbed to the princess's high branch, and she couldn't look down on herself.
Lin Jinwen smiled lightly and said, "Jinwen thinks she has a deep friendship with her wife, isn't it that Mrs. doesn't think so?" It's just that there have been a lot of miscellaneous items recently, so I took the time to spare it, and I ask my wife to forgive me. ”
Seeing her sincere attitude, Mrs. Dingnanhou burst out laughing: "You are still serious about joking with you, haven't you only been here two days ago?" ”
Lin Jin's wife noticed the strange gaze of Dingnan Hou, paused, and said, "Madame has been three or four months old, is the fetus still stable?" ”
"The fetus is very good, thanks to you and Master Huijue." Mrs. Hou laughed.
Lin Jin's wife: "I haven't seen the master for a long time, and I still want to ask him for a peace and blessing to drive away the recent bad luck." ”
"When you say this, I want to see you too, why don't we go to the palace together tomorrow?" Mrs. Hou said busily.
Lin Jinwen knew that she was in a hurry, and the purpose of saying this was also for this reason, so she naturally nodded, but listened to Dingnanhou said: "It just so happens that the Marquis of Japan will also enter the palace tomorrow, and ask the emperor to give Xuehai a marriage." ”
Zeng Xuehai glanced at Lin Jinwen a little provocatively, now that King Ning is not here, and he is in the Dingnan Hou Mansion, he is not afraid of Lin Jinwen, and only smiled: "Then thank you uncle, Yan'er is a good girl, I can't bear her, wait for the emperor to give marriage, it's better to advance the wedding date, I'm already impatient." ”
What he said was out of line, but Dingnanhou just smiled, and Lin Jinwen knew that they were also the same dog. But Ru Yan was heartbroken and went to Puji Temple, if she was married at this time, it would definitely be the last straw that crushed her.
Lin Jinwen didn't care about Zeng Xuehai's provocation, she only glanced at Mrs. Hou, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Hou, when I came, I saw that the flowers in the yard were blooming just right, why don't I help you go for a walk, pregnant women move around more, and it won't be too painful to give birth in the future." ”
"Well, I'm feeling tired, too." She smiled and nodded.
Zeng Xuehai saw that she didn't refute, and was about to say more, but suddenly Xu Chengqing looked at him on one side, and he hesitated, pursed his lips and didn't speak.
Lin Jinwen smoothly left with Mrs. Dingnanhou, chatting with her about trivial matters in the boudoir, walking, Lin Jinwen suddenly stopped, pointed to a seemingly inconspicuous grass on the side of the road and said, "There is actually rosemary?" ”
"What's wrong?" Mrs. Dingnanhou didn't care.
Lin Jinwen covered her lips and chuckled, and whispered in her ear: "If rosemary is mixed with other spices, it is an excellent aphrodisiac......
"This ......" Mrs. Dingnan Hou touched her stomach: "I may not have served Lord Hou for a long time."
"Madame, be careful." Lin Jin's face flushed slightly, paused, and said in a low voice: "If you are worried that Master Hou has gone to another aunt's room, Madam can try other methods." ”
Mrs. Dingnanhou looked at her blushing like boiled shrimp, paused, and suddenly remembered the use of hands and ...... mentioned in the booklet at the bottom of the press box
Her face was also slightly red, but she asked her in a low voice: "What kind of medicine do you want to mix it with, will it be discovered?" ”
Lin Jinwen said a few spices before saying: "After mixing and putting it in the incense burner, it will smell as good as ordinary incense, but Mrs. Hou, you must pay attention." ”
The people of the Dingnan Hou Mansion covered their lips and smiled, but nodded with bright eyes.
Lin Jinwen smiled lightly and lowered her eyes, but the shyness in Fang Cai's eyes turned into coldness, and smoked this spice, Dingnan Hou didn't think that he would be able to sober up and go to the court tomorrow afternoon, as for Zeng Xuehai......
After Lin Jinwen said goodbye to Mrs. Hou, she saw the little beggar who had been glancing at her near the carriage, and knew that it was the sixth person, so she drove Xu Chengqing to lead the carriage first, and then stepped forward and said, "But something happened?" ”
The little beggar said everything he heard in front of the Zheng Mansion: "The sixth child is not here, I am afraid of delaying the young lady's affairs, so I hurried here." ”
Lin Jinwen saw that he was not very old and asked; "What's your name?"
He scratched his head shyly and said, "Little cheap peanut." ”
"Okay, Peanut, I'm going to ask you to do something for me now."
Peanut hurriedly opened his eyes and looked at her seriously: "Miss, please command, Peanut must be done!" ”
Lin Jin's eyes were slightly cold, what she had to do was to let Zeng Xuehai know the lesson!
