After entering the Gao Mansion with my eldest brother and chatting a few words, I asked about the miracle doctor who saved me after falling into the water.

Gao Shouwen said, that day the house was in chaos, the third aunt died, I fell into the lotus pond and life and death were uncertain, and my father sent someone to ask for a doctor. The subordinates in the house walked out of the door, and there was an old man who claimed to be a miracle doctor at the door, and the subordinates thought that they would bring it in first.

However, the miracle doctor's medical skills were very good, and after I was treated with a pill, he said that my pulse was stable and there was no danger to my life.

The eldest brother told me that the miracle doctor called himself Doctor Choi. Later, after he sent the miracle doctor out of the house, he never saw the man again.

Once, when the eldest lady was seriously ill, the eldest brother looked for the miracle doctor, but there was no news, and he felt that the miracle doctor was like a specific person who had come to save me.

And I have too much curiosity about this miracle doctor.

Why did you leave an elixir for me?

Remembering what Ju Yang told me, when Yi Hu was young, she had sores in her body, and her father Yi Hun looked for Dr. Cui and sent him to the doctor for treatment.

Bai Rui said that Yi Hua was a patient who treated him together.

And in my dream, in the Flowing Frost Water Pavilion, under the tree, Yihua and her Jingqi brother.

Everything in the Frost Pavilion was present in my mind at this time.

Suddenly, I realized that the Flowing Frost Water Pavilion was the residence of Dr. Cui, and it was there that Yi Hua was treated.

But where did Doctor Cui go?

The Taoist diagram on the wall, should it be him?

Who is Brother Jingqi in the dream?

My body was suddenly stunned, could it be Bai Rui?

Back at my Autumn Water House, I sat at my table, my head constantly thinking about everything.

For example, Bai Rui is Jingqi, in my confused memory, he is entangled with Yihua and Da Xilan.

If this is the case, Bai Rui's age should not be small, but why is he still so young, there is no trace of time.

If he was really Jingqi, then he should know where Yi Zhu was, but I asked him, and he flatly denied it, why?

Is the young man in the dream really Bai Rui today?

If so, why did he change his name?

My head was confused, I was thinking too much, and my head hurt a little.

Seeing that I wasn't feeling well, Zilan hurriedly sent a pill to me.

This pill was left to me by Bai Rui to take when I had a headache.

Holding the pill, I laughed, what did I think, how could Bai Rui be Jingqi.

So many years have passed since the matter of Yi Hua, if Yi Hua is still alive, he should be in his thirties at this time, and Bai Rui looks like he is only in his early twenties.

After taking the medicine, I lay down on the bed and fell asleep, and when I woke up, Gao Xian was in my Qiushui living hall.

I lazily walked up to him and said, "You look for me." ”

Smile high.

He often likes to come to my yard to sit and sit in my yard when he has nothing to do, and the affection between him seems to be better than Gao Shouwen.

Two years ago, Gao Xian had a fight with Li Zilang because of me, and if he didn't care about me, he wouldn't have made a move.

He has an innocent smile, which is really likable.

Although sometimes, he talks to me no big or small, as if he doesn't understand the hierarchy of sisters and brothers, but he always feels warm in his words.

Gao Xian sat at the table, eating his pastries by himself.

A casual phrase, "Come and see you." ”

I smiled lightly, "Just to see my sister, nothing else?" ”

I sat across from him and looked at him with a smile.

He cracked his mouth and smiled, "Second sister, I came to tell you a story on purpose." ”

I smiled, "I never knew you could tell a story, what you want to tell, say it and listen to it." ”

Yinglin and Zilan were also laughing together, and they didn't even believe it.

Gao Xian took a sip of tea, moistened his mouth and told the story.

Legend has it that in a deep mountain and old forest, there is an eagle king, who has to hunt a lot of small animals every day, and many small animals in the mountains and forests are caught by it, which is extremely cruel.

Later, a hunter who lived by hunting in the mountains and forests, he swore that he would shoot the eagle king down. However, the Eagle King was often elusive, and it took Orion several years to finally shoot the Eagle King down one day.

The Eagle King was stabbed in the leg by a sharp arrow and struggled on the ground in pain. The hunter picked it up and prepared to take it home and cook it and eat it to deflat.

At this time, the eagle king actually spoke, and pleaded with the hunter, saying that as long as the hunter released it and healed its foot wound, it would give the hunter endless wealth, and he would not have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of his life.

When the Eagle King spoke, Orion was shocked, and Orion was even more shocked when the Eagle King said something like that.

But after thinking about it, Orion believed in the Eagle King, because it was amazing that eagles could speak.

After Orion brought the Eagle King home, he cured his foot wound, and the Eagle King did what he promised, and brought the Orion a lot of gold.

But after that, after the hunter became rich, he never hunted again, and spent all day drinking and spending a lot of money. When the money was spent, he asked the Eagle King again, and at last the Eagle King could not bear it anymore, and no longer brought him the gold, and pecked the Orion blind in his eyes.

Later, the hunter became a beggar, and in the midst of begging, he often told his story to other beggars, and some believed it and some did not.

After listening to this story, Ying Lin laughed, "Who would believe that there is such a thing, it's just a casual gossip made up by people who are chattering, Young Master Xian, do you believe it too?" ”

I do find it funny, how can there be such a thing.

Gao Xian tugged his lips and said with a smile, "Young Master Ben doesn't believe it either, but when I heard others talk about it in the restaurant, I thought it was funny, so I will tell the second sister about it." ”

I quipped, "Where did you hear that?" ”

Gao Xian shook his shoulders, "Invite Yuelou to taste wine with Miss Nangong, and listen to the guests at the next table chatting, I think it's interesting." ”

I patted him on the shoulder and smiled, "Okay, now that I'm done with the story, tell me what I want you to do with that woman?" ”

Gao Xian shook his head, "No clue." ”

"That woman put it down first, and you can help me check another person."

Gao Xian looked at me stunned, "Who else are you going to check?" ”

"Yinglin, go get the painting." I looked at Yinglin.

Yinglin knew what I was talking about, and went into the inner room and took out the painting of Etotsu.

I opened it and spread it out on the table, "That's her." ”

The moment Gao Xian saw the painting, his eyes widened, just like the expression I had when I saw the painting for the first time.

"Who is she?" He was puzzled, his face was puzzled, and he could already see that the person in the painting was not me.

Gao Xian looked at the inscription under the corner of the scroll, and there was Gu Shanxiu's seal.

He said, "This is a painting by a famous teacher, and it is worth a lot of silver." ”

I said coldly, "It's not for you to see how much it's worth." ”

"I know, the second sister wants me to find the person in this painting." Gao Xian didn't raise his head, and replied in a daze.

I said in a depressed voice, "She is Yi Huan, the daughter of the former Prime Minister Yi Hun. ”

Gao Xian raised his eyes and looked at me in a daze, and smiled, "No, second sister, Yi Hun has been punished by the whole clan, you have to go to check the people of the Yi family, if you let the Queen Mother know, but you have committed a big taboo." ”

I groaned, "Just don't let the people in the court know, secret investigation, you won't." ”

Gao Xian frowned lightly and looked at the woman in the painting again, "Why is she so similar to the second sister?" ”

I chuckled, "It's inevitable that people will look alike." ”

"Even if it's similar, it's impossible to be so similar, second sister, are you and this Yizhu—"

Gao Xian's words were not finished, and he seemed to have noticed something.

He looked at me with his lips open, he might know a little bit about my mother's biological daughter.

I didn't say anything more in the conversation between me and him this time, Gao Xian promised me that he would help me check.

When the Chinese New Year's Eve came, the family finally sat down at a table and had a second meal.

Mother did not speak much throughout the meal, and was more silent than before.

My mother didn't compete with the eldest lady for favor, and the eldest lady's mood was quite good, and she didn't look at me coldly.

It's just recently, I found that something was wrong with Gao Li, she often smirked alone, and when she saw me, she didn't say a few sarcastic words, and she always felt like she had changed her personality.

After the New Year's dinner on the evening of the thirtieth night, I returned to my yard, there were only me and Yinglin, Zilan master and servant, Zilan was wearing new clothes, sitting at the table and cutting window flowers, very hard.

Zilan's craftsmanship is very good, and the paper cut out is very beautiful.

I praised her a few words, and Zilan said that she used to cut it every year in her hometown.

On the day of the end of the year, I left everything behind and followed Zilan to learn paper-cutting, and I was very happy.

On the night of the first day of the new year, I walked around the garden in the mansion and saw Gao Li and her slave Ziyu walking quietly at the back door.

She was wearing a cloak and looked like she was going out.

I'm a little confused, where are I going to go on the first day of the new year? And it was still night.

I wanted to call her, but if she didn't want people to find out, I didn't want to embarrass her.

When it was quiet, I walked back to my yard.

For more than ten days, I haven't been out in the house, and on the day of the Shangyuan Festival, the whole house is hotly discussed, where there are lanterns to see, where is it fun.

Yinglin told me that every year on the Shangyuan Festival, most of the people in Pingcheng will go to the temple to worship the Buddha and ask the gods for their blessing.

Father Gao Yang has been to the court very early, I heard that every year on this day, he must stay by the emperor's side to protect the emperor's safety, and the emperor must also go to the temple to worship.

Standing in the courtyard, looking at the bluestone road in the garden, the slaves and maids who were talking and laughing, the smiles on their faces were real.

"Second Miss, we can go and see the lanterns." Zilan's eyebrows fluttered and said, she couldn't wait any longer, and she was looking forward to getting dark.

Flower lanterns, in my memory, vaguely remember, when I was eight years old, my pianist Xu Shaoling took me to the street to see it.

On that day, she held my hand and looked at the lanterns on the banks of the river.

I vaguely remember that day a man appeared in front of Shaoling and bought sugar gourds for me and the violinist to eat.

Shaoling's eyes were very gentle when she looked at the man, and they talked as they walked, while I was lost in the lanterns, and I didn't have time to pay more attention to Shaoling and the man.

Coming back to her senses, Ying Lin was saying, "I heard that this year's lanterns were specially ordered by the emperor to be reorganized, in order to let the people of Pingcheng have a good holiday, the entire Pingcheng Street is full of lanterns, especially by the moat." ”

Zilan said to me happily, "Second Miss, let's go quickly, the slaves and maids can't wait, I heard that the eldest lady has already gone out." ”

I smiled and said with a relaxed expression, "Okay." ”

I put on new clothes, wrapped in a thick cloak and Yinglin, and Zilan went out of the house.

Maybe I was the last to leave the house, and I didn't see a few people in the house.

This day is the most lively day in the city, who will stay at home, even the slaves and maids in the house have a holiday today, and they can go to play at will.
