Lu Jiangbei also looked back at Gao Jue and told him with certainty: "I went back to the capital Yingtian once yesterday, and personally went to the Changye Pavilion to find the informant who provided the informant, and I have confirmed that this news is true. Gao Jue, do you remember that when we were in the Taoist temple, our subordinates who heard the news reported that He Angelica's mother Luo Chuanxiong was the daughter of Yangzhou Luofu, but his father He Fu was just a child of Yangzhou's down-and-out door, and he was newly appointed this year to be the governor of the Jingwei Command Envoy of the Eight Grades, at that time, everyone felt that this matter was quite incredible, and they also guessed a lot of possibilities such as 'the two eloped first and then got married', 'the man got on the boat first and then bought a ticket', 'the woman was ugly or had some hidden disease', and Duan Shao was so angry that he jumped to beat people. ”

Gao Jue slowly loosened Lu Jiangbei's plain brocade collar, remembering that there was indeed such a thing, at that time, he was unwilling to participate in such a boring topic, so he jumped on the roof to sleep, but he still unconsciously took the words of everyone's discussion into his ears.

Lu Jiangbei smoothed the wrinkles on his collar and continued: "It turns out that everyone didn't guess correctly at the time, He Angelica's mother Luo Chuanxiong only married He Fu three years ago, so He Fu is just the stepfather with the same surname as He Angelica, according to the informant's report, He Angelica's biological father is no one else, but He Jingxian of He Mansion in the capital, that is, the uncle of your beloved Ling Miaochun." ”

Gao Jue was silent for a moment, and suddenly questioned: "But I heard that the He family, which specializes in official medicine, has no dealings with the other two, and the prescriptions of the Luo family's Sanqing Hall and Guan Jiarenshutang are all universal, and many of them are also engraved into books and circulated to the people in the market." However, there are many self-developed secret recipes in the prescriptions of the He Family Pharmacist's Hall, which have excellent efficacy, which are incomparable to the other two. Five years ago, Sanqingtang and Renshutang were very interested in the formula of a pill in Yaoshitang, but they came to ask for advice but they were discouraged, and after that, the He family and the other two families were even more incompatible, how could the He family marry the Luo family? ”

Lu Jiangbei turned the jade wrench on his thumb and analyzed various possibilities: "Maybe the two families had a good time in private for a while ten years ago, but for some reason they didn't make it public, and then the He family drove Luo Chuanxiong's mother and daughter out, and then the Luo family changed from an in-law family to an enemy." Or maybe the two families have always had a grudge, and the elders set such a family in order to resolve the feud, but later found that it still couldn't be resolved, so they became enemies again. Anyway, this old incident ten years ago is no longer well documented, and our informant who inquired about the news has infiltrated He Mansion a few times, and no one knows about this old incident at all, but everyone said that the current Mrs. He is He Jingxian's original wife, which shows that when He Mansion replaced Mrs. He, he also brought a group of new subordinates to cover up the ugliness of the family. ”

After hearing this, Gao Jue frowned again: "What if she is Miaochun's cousin?" What do you mean? ”

Lu Jiangbei sighed, looked at Gao Jue's dark eyes, and said in a low voice: "Gao Jue, I just don't want to see you continue to suffer yourself, I have been looking for faces similar to Ling Miaochun for three years, and when I hugged them, I found that those people were completely different from Ling Miaochun. You and I have worked together for many years, and one of the conclusions I have come to is that you are always at two extremes of the world for women. In the past, when Ling Miaochun was alive, the women in your eyes were divided into women other than Ling Miaochun and Ling Miaochun, who were soft on the former and completely ignored the latter. ”

Gao Jue fell into contemplation, remembering all kinds of past events with Miaochun when he was young, and had to admit that Lu Jiangbei described it very appropriately, at that time, there was only one woman in Miaochun's world, and the love with Miaochun became the driving force for everything he did in those years, and he couldn't see other women in his eyes.

Lu Jiangbei said leisurely: "Later, Ling Miaochun died, and the woman in your eyes was divided into a woman who did not look like Ling Miaochun and a woman who was very similar to Ling Miaochun. You are still a stranger to the former, cold-blooded and cold-hearted, and you first fell in love with the latter in a moment, and when you brought that person home, you found that you had seen it wrong, and the more you looked at that person, the less you looked like Ling Miaochun, and finally you were re-divided into the ranks of the former. ”

Gao Jue frowned, and subconsciously wanted to open his mouth to argue a few words, but he couldn't argue, because Lu Jiangbei still didn't say anything wrong. After losing Miaochun, many times he walked on Ogisawa Street, which was full of memories of the two, and his eyes couldn't help but search for her. Some people have her back, some people have her hair, some people have her eyebrows and eyes, some people have her nose and mouth, some people have her voice, but he can't put together a whole her, so he simply takes them all back to the courtyard and arranges for them to live in one place all day, so that he can slowly put them together.

Later, he took the concubine and the concubine back to Gaofu, Miaoqi was silent at the time, but half a month later, he followed himself to find the secret courtyard, and the next day he went to gouge out the eyes of two of the eight concubines, so coincidentally, those two pairs of eyes are the eyes most similar to Miaochun. The two people who lost Miaochun's eyes became very strangers, and they couldn't find the slightest shadow of Miaochun, so he immediately asked people to send them away, Lu Jiangbei described himself as a "cold-blooded and cold-hearted" person, which is appropriate.

Lu Jiangbei hesitated, and then said: "Gao Jue, I have never seen what Ling Miaochun looks like, but since the day before yesterday, I heard that He Angelica is Ling Miaochun's cousin, and I heard Liao Shao's analysis that your attitude towards He Angelica is different from other women, I was wondering, could it be that their aunts and cousins are similar in appearance, isn't there a popular saying among the folk that 'women follow their aunts' ......."

"Okay, I don't want to talk about this anymore, and I won't see that woman again in the future anyway." Gao Jue interrupted him stiffly, and asked in a rather bad tone, "You have the leisure to inquire into other people's family affairs, you must have found out the identity of the Pavilion Master of Wu Ying Pavilion?" You care so much about whether others follow your aunt or grandmother, do you have any selfish intentions? ”

Lu Jiangbei choked for a while, re-opened his mouth after a while, and said in a businesslike tone: "Our Long Night Pavilion is an intelligence agency that the Holy Secret aims to be placed by the people, since Wu Ying Pavilion dares to target us everywhere, and we can still not fall behind everywhere, it means that the power of the Wu Ying Pavilion Pavilion Lord and the power of the Holy Lord to the people can already fight against each other." It is difficult to imagine any civilian armed force that can confront the imperial court, so at present, we are still investigating from the senior officials of the court, and the possibility of military attachés is still higher than that of civilian officials. ”

"Hmph, talking nonsense is equivalent to not saying it, you haven't found any substantive clues at all, the efficiency of the Long Night Pavilion is really disappointing, it turns out that all the time is spent investigating other people's aunts and cousins." After Gao Jue finished speaking, he brushed his sleeves and left.

Lu Jiangbei hurriedly grabbed his right arm and asked, "Hey, where are you going?" ”

Gao Jue asked rhetorically, "Where do you think I'm going?" I've already said that I'll never see that woman again, and even if I bump into her, I'll turn around and leave, aren't you satisfied! ”

Lu Jiangbei patted him on the shoulder and reassured: "Okay, okay, even if this article is revealed, Miss He and Duan Shaocheng or not are the two of them, and none of us will mention her in the future, okay?" Feeling that part of Gao Jue's erect cold air had disappeared, Lu Jiangbei explained softly, "Gao Jue, don't you have a twelve-day long vacation this month?" I asked you where you are going, because there have been frequent raids in the Jinyi Guard Mansion recently, so I want you to report to me the location of your vacation, and if necessary, I can contact you to support the assault. ”

Gao Jue dropped a sentence without a head, "You go and ask the lynx, and then tell him that the price has risen to fifteen altars now, and if you give one less altar, I will twist off the woman's head and use it as a stool to sit on." Then he exerted his strength and jumped away on the courtyard wall, leaving Lu Jiangbei in a daze.

The third watch of the night, Yangzhou City, Mingyue Lane, Xiaodong Street, Hongpei Avenue.

Mama Tang knocked on the corner door of Luodong Mansion in the dust, and was about to go to the old lady's Fushou Garden to report what she had seen and heard in the Water Business Temple, but when she saw that the lanterns in the mansion were all replaced with white palace lights, she couldn't help but feel a sudden burst of heart, and asked the little guy who opened the door for her in a dumb voice: "What's going on!" Nothing happened in our house, right? The old lady is all right, right? ”

The little girl covered her mouth and whispered to Mama Tang: "Mama, I heard that it is...... Brother Zhu in the eldest young master's room was about to die, and the second wife asked Steward Liu to prepare what should be prepared first, so as not to mess up the rules and regulations when he got it. ”

※※※

The old lady sighed because of Brother Zhu'er's affairs, and only used some jade slippery fish soup for dinner and half-squinted on the soft couch in the ear room, and Licorice came to ask a few times, but she didn't want to move to the bed to sleep.

Originally, I thought that all of their Luo family knew some pharmacology, and when they ate, they also knew the truth of "food tonic and laxative" better than ordinary rich and noble families. Every time someone in the family has a slight headache and brain fever, the doctor invited is the best doctor in the whole Yangzhou City, and the medicine is also the most refined medicinal material in Sanqingtang. I didn't expect to be able to save the disease, I couldn't save my life, I got a letter this evening, and she also went to see Brother Zhu once, and she saw that the dying appearance was really not alive, Brother Zhu'er's mother's eyes cried into swollen walnuts, and Brother Zhu couldn't even open his eyelids on the bed.

The two doctors of Ma Wu, who had the best Chinese medicine skills in Sanqingtang, were also helpless, and the old lady sighed, if the old lady was still at home, maybe he could let him try Sanqing acupuncture. But his old man suddenly disappeared a few days ago, and the little man who guarded the door in the back alley came to report it, saying that he saw him wearing a new gray cloth shirt cut in tatters with scissors, white linen leggings wrapped around his calves, and old mud-stained cloth shoes on his feet, carrying a large medicine basket on his back and going west. Usually the old lady will come back half a year after going out, and the longest time is three years, it seems that Brother Zhu'er's illness can't be counted on this time.

This month, the Luo family is really unfavorable, with many disasters and difficulties.

First of all, Sister Yi was found to have fallen on the rockery in the garden with her head broken and bleeding, and it was suspected that she might have fallen down while climbing the mountain and died. After hearing the news of Sister Yi'er's death, I really didn't know how to explain to Chuanxiong, Chuanxiong got such a little bit of blood after marrying someone twice, and the poor little girl had such an accident...... Later, I heard that Sister Yi came back to life in the Taoist temple, and she was so happy that she couldn't help it, and she was thinking about who to invite when she feasted her relatives and friends, so that all the relatives could get together and have fun, when Brother Zhu'er had an accident again.

The old lady tossed and turned, unable to sleep, and then heard Licorice whisper to her, asking if she was still awake.

came to call her in the middle of the night so late, could it be that Brother Zhu'er is gone! The old lady felt a chill in her heart, a good pair of twin great-grandsons, and in a blink of an eye, there was one less! A few days ago, she also went to see Brother Zhu'er's situation, originally just a little illness after taking two patches of medicine, why did she suddenly lose her skin and bones, and she lost her human form? Alas, his mother may not be so sad now.

Although the Chuanbai of the big house is not her own, but Luodong Mansion has always had a thin man, except for the Chuanpu of the third room, who has a sister-in-law and brother-in-law, their family only has a concubine and a former brother. Four years ago, in the big house, he married his ex-brother to his niece of his mother-in-law, Zhao's daughter, Sister Lan, the eldest daughter of the Dong family. The young couple is talented and beautiful, and they gave birth to a pair of white and fat boys the next year, which added a lot of vitality to the house. I have always been so painful that I hold these two great-grandsons in my hands and am afraid of melting, but I have recently had an incident with Sister Yi at home, so I didn't care about the other side of the big house for a while......

The old lady felt that since she celebrated her fiftieth birthday last year, her energy was much shorter than before, and many things were lazy to take care of, and she passed with a closed eye and a friendly attitude.

Because she really didn't want to see the sad scene of her eldest granddaughter-in-law crying and grabbing the ground, she pretended to be asleep soundly and snored lightly. Licorice called the old lady twice in a low voice, and when she saw that she was sleeping very deeply, she closed her mouth and withdrew gently.

The old lady immediately stopped snoring, and pricked up her ears to listen to the movement outside, first the sound of the curtain being lifted, and then the sound of "squeak-dang" closing the door. Through the door, the old lady heard the faint voice of licorice and said, "Mama Tang, I called several times and the old lady didn't wake up, or you will come back tomorrow morning...... You don't know, the old lady is sad because of the matter of the young master Zhu, just now she was still turning over for a while and sighing, so anxious that we don't know what to do, it's rare that she is asleep now......"

Then, Mama Tang's vague voice came: "I have encountered a lot of things in Shuishangguan, and now I rushed here overnight...... If it's just Miss San's business, it doesn't hurt to wake up the old lady tomorrow, but now it's still related to Brother Zhu...... I don't know how to tell you, anyway, go and wake up the old lady first! ”

The old lady sat up straight from the soft couch, what happened to Sister Yi'er? Why did the red ginger rush back from the Taoist temple in the middle of the night? Stepping on the soft shoes indiscriminately, the old lady walked out of the ear room with a curtain, pushed open the door of the house with a "bang" and asked, "What's wrong, don't tell it clearly!" ”
