Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Viper
Yu Yu tiptoed over.
When she reached the door of the east dark bedroom, she lifted the curtain and leaned in to look inside.
I saw Peach standing in the bedroom and looking around, then took out something from her sleeve pocket, walked straight to the bed, squatted down, and threw the thing in her hand to the bottom of the bed.
Yu Yu held her breath, and seeing that Peach was about to turn around, she hurriedly ran back to the west dark room that was used as an inner study on her heels.
Fortunately, she was wearing the light Bixuanluo soft-soled embroidered shoes today, and she didn't make any other sound except for the slight friction between the soles and the floor.
As soon as Yu Yu opened the curtain and entered the west dark room, Peach came out of the east dark bedroom. She looked around in the bright room and hurried out.
After the door of the bright room was closed, Yu Yu waited for a while, then took the bamboo pole that supported the back window and went to the east dark bedroom.
Looking at the light purple sachet drawn from the bottom of the bed with a bamboo pole, Yu Yu thought for a moment, got up and took a piece of oiled paper, wrapped the sachet, and put it on the windowsill.
She stood in front of the window and began to think about what to do.
Peach was the person who Princess Li inserted, and she threw this sachet under Lin Jia's bed, naturally not to bless Lin Jia with a long life, but to frame Lin Jia......
After Peach threw the sachet under the bed of the second son, her heart was pounding, and she always felt empty.
She is not a three-year-old child, so she can naturally guess that the sachet that Su's mother asked her to throw under the bed of the second son must be to harm the second son.
But her father, mother, brother and sister-in-law are all pinching in the hands of Princess Li, and for the sake of her family, she naturally has to listen to the words of Princess and Mother Su.
As for Lin Jia, anyway, Lin Jia treats her very coldly, and he is unlucky if he dies!
Thinking of this, Peach was not weak at all, pinched a light pink rose, put it to the tip of her nose and sniffed, and went back humming a song.
As soon as she entered the West Wing, she heard a sound of footsteps outside, and then heard Yu Yu's voice: "Tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of the fifth month of May, it's time to prepare for the Dragon Boat Festival, you go to pick some peach leaves, willow leaves, sunflowers, thin leaves and Buddha Dao Ai, tomorrow the Dragon Boat Festival will be hung at the door!"
Peach had just done something bad, and she was a little timid in her heart, so she immediately looked at the willow.
The fine willow didn't want to offend Yu Yu, so she immediately said softly: "Let's go out!"
The two of them went out of the north dark bedroom, only to find that the water wattle had also come out.
It's not that Shui Jing is afraid of Yu Yu, it's just that she has slept too much in the past few days, and her body is sore, and she just wants to go out for a walk.
Yu Yu smiled and handed the flower basket to the willow, and watched the willow, water wattle and peach go out.
After the three of them left the courtyard, Yu Yu quickly ran into the west wing, lifted the curtain and entered the north dark bedroom, and went straight to the innermost bed-she remembered that Peach slept on the bed and Xiaoliu slept on the brocade couch in front of the window.
After throwing the purple sachet under Peach's bed, Yu Yu crumpled the piece of oiled paper into a ball and went out happily.
She went to the kitchenette and stuffed the piece of oiled paper into the stove and burned it.
Seeing the piece of oiled paper turn to ashes, Yu Yu smiled and looked up at Mrs. Zhu who was helping the cook: "Mother Zhu, what are you cooking at noon?"
Yu Yu didn't smile or speak, Zhu Pozi had always liked her, and said with a smile: "I feel tired of eating noodles, let's make noodles at noon today!"
Yu Yu nodded, helped Mrs. Zhu wash the vegetables again, and then returned to Cuiweiju.
As soon as she walked to Cuiweiju, the three people of Shui Jing, Peach and Willow came back with baskets.
Yu Yu looked at it, and saw that the peach leaves, willow leaves, sunflowers, thin leaves, and Buddha Dao Ai were all ready, so she and the three of them took scissors and ribbons, pruned these flowers, flowers and leaves, tied them with ribbons, and hung them at the door.
After lunch, Yu Yu took the book and sat on the couch in front of the window of the inner study to read, when she suddenly heard a sound of footsteps, she looked out of the window, and found that Peach came from under the porch.
Yu Yu put down the book and greeted him: "Peach, is there something?"
The afternoon sun was a little hot, and a layer of fine sweat appeared on the delicate and round cheeks of the peach, looking more and more white and red, her complexion was so good, she held a neatly folded oil paper bag in her hand, and said with a smile: "Sister Yuyu, this is the candied fruit that I asked someone to buy outside, it is sour and sweet, it is delicious, I will send you a few to taste!"
Yu Yu smiled and took it, and took another box of rouge and gave it to Peach as a thank you gift.
Hu Yingzhi gave her a lot of rouge gouache in the thank you gift last time, and she couldn't use it up at all, so she gave a box of peaches.
The peach opened it and saw that it was a good rouge with roses, and was immediately overjoyed, and accompanied Yu Yu to talk for a while, and then left.
Yu Yu opened the bag of candied fruit and took a look, wrapped it up again, and prepared to take it to the Qinglongguan Mansion tomorrow for Dr. Liu to see.
Peach had just been bad under Lin Jia's bed, how dare she eat what Peach sent!
Lin Jia and Zhizhou Xia Zhiqing went to Qi County, the closest to Qingzhou, today, and the distance was not far, so they rushed back in the evening.
When he returned, Yu Yu was making multicolored silk threads under the bright lamp.
According to the customs of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Dragon Boat Festival should be rubbed together with blue, red, white, black and yellow silk threads, tied around the neck, wrists and ankles, which are said to ward off evil spirits and seek good health.
Seeing Lin Jia come in, Yu Yu was overjoyed and hurriedly got up to greet her.
Lin Jia was wearing a wet oilcloth cloak, and he said while taking off the cloak: "It rained as soon as I entered the city, but the rain was not heavy!"
Yu Yu took the tarpaulin cloak and looked outside, only to realize that it was raining.
The rain was not heavy, and the green brick floor in the courtyard was already soaked.
After settling Lin Jia, Yu Yu went to the small kitchen to get dinner and waited for Lin Jia to use it.
Lin Jia came out of the shower, Yu Yu took a five-color silk thread to tie it for him, Lin Jia was really embarrassed to tie these, and retreated again and again under the pressure of Yu Yu's step.
In the end, he couldn't resist Yu Yu, so he had to sit there and let Yu Yu tie colorful silk threads to his wrists and ankles.
Looking at Lin Jia's loveless expression, Yu Yu couldn't help laughing.
Lin Jia also smiled.
Seeing that Lin Jia seemed to have forgotten what happened last night, Yu Yu quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
It was late at night, the rain was pouring outside, and it was very quiet.
Lin Jia sat on the yellow rosewood stepping bed with a brocade pillow, reading "The Essentials of Agriculture" in his hand.
It has rained in the past few days, and it is wet everywhere, Yu Yu specially took his brocade quilt and brocade mattress to the smoker cage and smoked it for a long time, and now it is warm and fragrant, very comfortable.
On the brocade couch in front of the window, Yu Yu sat comfortably in the quilt, reading a book against the branch lamp on the side.
Neither of them spoke, but there seemed to be a transparent cover covering them together, and they became a small world of their own, and neither of them could blend into their world.
At this moment, Yu Yu suddenly heard a terrible scream from outside.
She sat up straight, feeling as if it had been a hallucination.
Lin Jia also looked at Yu Yu.
As soon as Yu Yu was about to speak, she heard a scream again, and it sounded like a peach.
Lin Jia quickly got out of bed, took the moon white gauze robe and put it on, and was about to go out.
Yu Yu hurriedly put on his coat and walked out.
As soon as Lin Jia went out, he saw someone screaming in the corridor and rushing over: "Second son, snake!" Lots of snakes! What a lot of snakes! ”
Yu Yu recognized that it was the fine willow, and hurriedly said, "What happened?"
The fine willow's face was full of tears, and she trembled all over: "Honey...... Peach Bed ...... It's all under the bed...... It's a snake......"
When Yu Yu heard this, she understood a little in her heart - the sachet that Peach threw under Lin Jia's bed should contain a medicine to attract snakes!
At this time, Ah Cheng and Ah Lan, who were on duty outside the second gate, also came over, and Lin Jia took them to the west wing.
Yu Yu also followed with the fine willow.
The door of the west wing was closed, Shui Jing trembled and held the door latch tightly, seeing Lin Jia coming, her teeth chattered, and she couldn't speak.
Lin Jia's eyes narrowed slightly: "Is there anyone in the house?"
Shui Jing nodded again and again, his teeth chattering: "Yes...... Someone! The peach is inside! ”
Lin Jia said: "What's wrong inside?"
The fine willow was helped over by Yu Yu, and said with a trembling rope: "There are a lot of snakes and ...... on the bed under the peach bed."
Lin Jia instructed Ah Lan and Ah Cheng: "Go to Mother Yang and get a jar of realgar wine, and bring two torches!"
Ah Lan and Ah Cheng agreed, and soon ran over with a jar of realgar wine and a few torches.
Lin Jia lit the torches, Ah Lan took two torches, Ah Cheng held the realgar wine, and after getting ready, he looked at Ah Lan and nodded.
Ah Lan understood, raised her foot and kicked open the door, and carried the torch into the west wing.
Yu Yu followed behind, and saw many snakes of different thickness, thickness and thin eyes and colors on the floor of the room, these snakes crawled and wriggled on the ground, and she was so disgusted that she almost vomited.
Ah Cheng sprinkled realgar wine to open the way, Ah Lan followed, and soon entered the north dark bedroom.
Because of the realgar wine spilled by Ah Cheng, those snakes began to swim around quickly, many snakes swam out of the bedroom, and there were many snakes on the ground in the bright room, and these snakes were still swimming out.
At this moment, Ah Cheng came out with a peach in his arm.
Seeing that Peach was motionless, Lin Jia asked in a deep voice, "How is she?"
Ah Cheng walked out of the west wing, bent down and gently put the peach on the ground under the corridor, and said softly: "She is dead."
At this time, Peach was lying on the ground face up, and Yu Yu clearly saw Peach Blue's face and the purple blood flowing from the corners of her mouth.
Yu Yu's face was pale, and he said in his heart: Such a poisonous snake, it seems that the master behind the peach wants to kill Lin Jia......
Lin Jia saw that Yu Yu's face was pale, thinking that she didn't dare to see the dead, so she left Ah Lan and Ah Cheng to clean up the mess, and took Yu Yu's hand and walked in the direction of Mingjian.
Back in the bright room, Lin Jia asked Yu Yu to sit down on the circle chair, and stood there to comfort Yu Yu and said, "Ah Lan and Ah Cheng will take care of it, don't worry!"
Yu Yu lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then raised her eyes to look at Lin Jia: "These snakes should be the ...... I brought here."
Lin Jia was stunned.
Yu Yu told him about the peach putting the sachet under his bed today.
Lin Jia listened, reached out and held Yu Yu's hand, and stared at Yu Yu with black eyes: "Yu Yu, thank you!"
Thank you for saving my life again!
Yu Yu took a deep breath and said, "If Peach is still alive, she can still ask the mastermind behind her, but now ......"
A cold smile appeared on Lin Jia's handsome face: "Dead people can also speak."
He got up and walked to the door, and ordered Ah Qing, who had just rushed over to protect him: "Go and invite the prince over!"
