Chapter 173: Five-Flowered Horse Thousand Golden Qiu
He Angelica kicked Bai Yangbai's calf and kicked it to the point where the ghost cried wolf, she gritted her teeth and said: "Okay, you Bai Yangbai, I treat you as a good friend, I usually can't see your dignity when I want to ask you for help, and at the critical moment of my life and death, you not only don't help, but also sneered on the side." The most hateful thing is that you have learned about Duan Gongzi's recent unsatisfactory situation, and you have been wandering around me all day long, and you actually didn't tell me all this, leaving me in the dark from beginning to end, and stupidly ran to ask Duan Gongzi's colleagues about his current situation, and he was beaten in the first place. You just wait for the poison to die, Brother Qianjun, when you die, I will rummage through your relics. β
Bai Yangbai repeatedly told him to spare: "Master Rongyu, I only went back to the capital once two or three months ago, and by the way, I visited Duanfu, and saw that the dead-eyed Duan boy was still thinking about you, so I went to persuade him, at that time, his old father was still alive, and he nodded and smiled at me, I don't know that there were so many human tragedies in Duanfu later, how can I tell you about it?" β
"Really?" He Angelica will be skeptical.
"It's more real than real gold!" Bai Yangbai nodded vigorously and said, "As for speaking of your critical moment, I watched from the wall, and I wanted to add to the crime, you let that middle-aged beautiful woman Sun be bullied, didn't Poor Dao help you peek at her bath and destroy her reputation, for a woman, what is more precious than a reputation?" For example, Meng Xiaozi kissed you, and in his tone, he seemed to think of himself as your husband, didn't he just eat that your innocence had been lost, but he could only marry him alone, and he didn't consider your request at all, people! Regret it, you, I fell first, it's too late to say anything, this time you don't think about it, these unreasonable demands should be negotiated before you go to Wushan together. β
He Angelica raised the plum blossom needle to cure his mouth, Bai Yangbai was again and again, and put Meng Xuan's dagger in both hands and said: "The female master is angry, how can that poisonous needle be used to play around, or use a knife, I tried this dagger just now, and cutting the bluestone slab on the ground is similar to cutting tofu." β
He Angelica put away the small needle from the goodness, took the dagger and raised it in front of Bai Yangbai's eyes, and sneered: "Since you have seen the power of this knife, I don't want to talk more about the nonsense on the side, for the sake of your ears, nose and fingers, you quickly came to Duan Gongzi to Yang, what did he do when he came to participate in the martial arts conference, he is not a person in the rivers and lakes, is he bringing officers and soldiers to stir up the situation?" When did he arrive in Yangzhou and where did he stay? Where did your news come from? β
Bai Yangbai smiled angrily: "Roar, it's because this knife is infinitely powerful, so I'm sure that a bodhisattva-hearted person like you, Master, doesn't even dare to get close to me, let alone cut off my ears, isn't it, Master?" In fact, the price of the poor road is not high, and the fingers are counted, from now on, the poor road will pay one or two silver for every word he says, and fifty taels of silver will be paid once, how about it? β
He Angelica checked his purse, only less than twenty taels of silver, that is to say, he could only buy his twenty words, and suddenly said with displeasure: "Don't you have a big mansion given to you by the emperor in the capital?" I heard that there are countless treasures in it, five-flowered horses, daughters, fragrant cars, BMWs and beauties, you are simply the scum of the rich, the rich of the scum, and you are embarrassed to reach out to a little girl with me to ask for money, you are ashamed or not! β
The unashamed Bai Yangbai whistled and hummed a little song, his eyes were looking directly at He Angelica's purse. He Angelica took it off with a cold face and handed it to him, and said with a counteroffer: "If this money buys you for one night, it is not enough to add it next time, from now on you have to be obedient to me, ask one answer and ten questions, draw inferences, do you hear?" β
"Yes, I didn't expect Poor Dao to be so cheap," Bai Yangbai poured the broken silver in his purse, returned the purse and fan to Zhao, and said reluctantly, "Poor Dao went to the gate of Zhongshu Province to set up a stall for a few hours, and he earned more than that." Next time I go to your boudoir, I will steal more than a dozen love letters from Duan Xiaozi and sell them to your 'fiancΓ© Jun' Meng Xiaozi, at least I can get a thousand taels of silver. β
He Danggui angrily replaced the dagger with a small needle, pointed it at his nose, and shouted coldly: "You dare to peek at my private letters, Bai Yangbai, you old scoundrel, you have done so many excessive things over the years, you are waiting to die of poisonββ"
In the middle of the conversation, Bai Yangbai suddenly knocked her down, and she was pressed over like a hundred and ten catties of mountains. She was about to open her mouth to scold, but his lips actually pressed down and touched her lip flap, although only a flash of lightning quickly moved away, it still bluffed He Angelica a lot. The next moment, an old woman in black ran from the direction of the artemisia grass in the distance, and without looking at them as she passed by, she ran straight into the chaotic crowd on the field.
After the old woman in black ran away, Bai Yangbai immediately turned over and landed on the grass on the side, and before He Angelica could speak, he first defended himself innocently and said: "I didn't mean it, I really didn't mean it, when I pounced on you, your needle pierced my arm, and I have a layer of fake skin on my mouth, so you just kissed my skin, this is nothing, okay?" Saying that, he really peeled off two layers of skin from his lips, and his lip color immediately changed from dark red to cherry red, because he was too urgent, so even the chin part was also removed, and when the night breeze blew, a foreign object on his chin swayed up and down with the wind, which looked even more weird than the scene of Qian Peony's corpse.
Bai Yangbai saw that He Angelica had been staring at his chin, so he simply started to tear it from his chin, tearing up one of his artwork-like "Li Langzhong's face".
Bai Yangbai said with a smile: "Let's go to your yard tomorrow to wash your clothes, the work of selling medicine and candy at the gate of this academy is too tiring, sleeping later than dogs, getting up earlier than chickens, and only earning five taels of silver in a month, not including food and drink." And the Qian Peony was treated like that ghost, I was embarrassed to stay at the door of Chengxu, her father was angry and couldn't find the culprit, and he couldn't afford to provoke Meng Xuan's son, who had just treated the disease, so he would definitely take me first. β
When he said this, he had gradually changed from a white-bearded old man to a young man who looked similar to the age difference between Meng Xuan and Peng Yan, although his appearance was not as handsome as Meng Xuan's, nor was Peng Xuan's heroic posture, but it was indescribably indescribably friendly, as if the spring breeze was blowing on his face. Because he can't see sunlight all year round, his complexion has a sickly whiteness, but a pair of clear and flexible eyes are vibrant, which forms a huge contrast with his white skin and diseased appearance.
Distant mountain eyebrows, Dan phoenix eyes, straight nose and cherry lips, a good Zhuang and harmonious, like the wind and dew of the Taoist saint Bai Yangbai, who would have thought that he is now thirty and five, who can not have a strong desire to explore his method of rejuvenation, He Angelica has explored him for five or six years in his previous life, and he has been pestered for nearly a year in this life, but now he is still confused about the legendary "secret recipe for rejuvenating the face soup bath", and even began to wonder if he has this kind of secret recipe.
He Angelica has been studying medicine for more than 20 years, in the previous life, she studied under Dou Haiqin, the descendant of the divine needle, and after returning to the Luo family, she also secretly reviewed the medical skills she had learned before, and while trying to read and write, she tried her best to get the opportunity to enter the Luofu Library to study medical books, just because she found a book from her grandfather Luo Duzhong in her golden lock.
Since she was only four years old when she left her mother, she didn't know at first that there was a mechanism hidden in the golden lock, which could be opened by touching it with the tip of a needle. Later, with Mr. Dou Haiqin to learn acupuncture, she fiddled with a few needles every day, saw anything and wanted to go up and prick twice to practice the flexibility of her fingers, one day she tied her own longevity golden lock, only to hear the "click" sound, the golden lock was divided into four small petals like a flower. One petal contained a small half-box of finely ground spices, one petal contained a handful of silver needles, and the other two petals contained two large stacks of smooth, bright white silk, extremely light and thin, which was what her grandfather had left her.
Although she is a big lady, her vision is extremely narrow, and she rarely even sees cotton cloth, let alone such beautiful silk. After pulling it out with slender fingers, I opened it one by one and looked at the sun in the sky for a long time, all of them were white silk, without flowers and words, but there was my grandfather's idle chapter in the corner of each piece of silk - Dongguo Shanren, this is my grandfather's self-name, she still has an impression.
She only said that this was a few handkerchiefs given to her by her grandfather, and she was reluctant to move them lightly and stuffed them back, until she went out of the farm to live with her mother, and she only found that the handkerchief of the young lady of the big family was a very particular thing, with inscriptions, ornaments, embroidered edges and small characters of the owner, such as her handkerchief usually embroidered with "Qingyi" or "Qingxiu". No matter which embroiderer the embroidery on the handkerchief comes from, it can be signed with her name and regarded as her work, which is an unwritten rule in everyone's ladies, and it is also a small and open secret.
These exquisite works of art play a great role, in addition to many games at the banquet, such as drumming and passing flowers, solitaire poems and talent shows, etc., you can hold a handkerchief to show all the guests their female red, the most important role is to choose one or two of the best works when discussing relatives, for the man's mother and grandmother and other people to see, as an important indicator to judge the quality of this young lady. After all, the sons can ask the painter to paint more for themselves, and then send a few to each matchmaker, to convey their voice and smile to the eyes of more marriageable ladies, and women can not be so open and bold, unless the family matter has been finalized, they can give their own portraits or small portraits to each other, so the embroidery of the flower on the handkerchief of the ladies and the implied talent have become an important answer sheet when they discuss marriage.
All in all, when the shallow peasant girl He Angelica grew up to be nine years old, she knew that the beautiful white silk cloth in her golden lock was far from the legendary "young lady's handkerchief", although she didn't understand why her grandfather carried everyone on his back before he died, including his mother and grandmother, and stuffed so many pieces of low-quality silk cloth in his lock - at this time, He Angelica, whose horizons were greatly broadened, had already learned that the color of the silk cloth was too bright and cheesy, and it could only be regarded as a subordinate material - but, Intending to complete the first embroidery in her life, she took these silk cloths and soaked them in water to remove dust, and the cloth that had not seen water for five or six years showed lines of handwriting. It turned out that it was a suicide note left by her maternal grandfather.
There are a total of nine pieces of silk cloth, a total of six pieces of water to show the words, and the other three are blank silk that can't be soaked no matter how you soak it.
Through this "silk suicide note", He Angelica, who had no impression of his grandfather's appearance, sketched the face of a kind and kind old man, who told her that although their Luo family was a scholarly family, they had accumulated a lot of dirt over time, which made the people inside numb to family affection. Although he tried his best to write the two of them into the family tree and compile the fourth room, he was worried that they would not be able to stand in Luofu after his death, so he left his life's work "Sanqing Acupuncture and Ginseng" to her, a granddaughter, so that she could study hard, carry forward his medical skills, and add some confidence to the two of them in Luofu. He also specially instructed himself not to show off in front of others before his medical skills were completed, and not to claim that he had learned this stunt from him, so as not to cause dissatisfaction among the other three people.
Since then, she has been yearning to go to the Luofu Library to pick up the copy of "Sanqing Acupuncture and Reference" left by her grandfather, to see if it is as magical as the "nameless acupuncture" taught by Mr. Dou Haiqin. However, when I arrived in Luofu, I learned that the library pavilion was a relatively high-level place to study, and only the master of the family could enter to see it, and all the subordinates stopped at a sacred place. She proposed several times that she wanted to go to the study, but there were always people who objected, saying that because she was illiterate, she was afraid that the rare books that had been carefully collected would be messed up and damaged, and that she should go to the study to read introductory medical books, and not be able to get close to institutions of higher learning.
At that time, she could not find a word to defend herself, because she was indeed not very literate, and when her grandfather hid what he had left for her in the library, he probably did not expect that he, the beloved granddaughter, would be rejected by the library because she was illiterate.
Finally, late one night, she sneaked into the library, holding a slender candle in the middle of the bookshelf to find a long letter written by her grandfather to herself, a large stack of paper in a thick cardboard envelope, held in her hand warm and steady, as if her grandfather had written a letter to her from another world. Suddenly, the light of her bean candle attracted the nursing home of Luofu, and a commotion sounded outside the library pavilion, which made her throw away the candle head in a panic and burn the chair.
Nie Chun was the first to rush in to put out the fire, and after stepping on the burning chairs into charcoal in a few moments, he rushed to several nursing homes outside the door to ask Nie Chun if there were thieves inside. Nie Chun raised her nostrils and glanced at her who was squatting in the corner covering her mouth, and told the nursing home outside in a deep voice that there was no one inside. After those guards left, Nie Chun told her in a cold voice that she would stop messing around in Luofu in the future, so that her mother would be difficult to be a person in Luofu.
Although this Nie Chun is fierce, but he is different from other people's murderous methods, the young He Angelica intuitively felt that he would not hurt himself, so he obediently led him back to the West Cross Courtyard, ran back to the room in one breath, and hid in the bed to read the letter written by his grandfather to himself.
The letter said that there were 74 volumes of the "Sanqing Acupuncture Method and Reference", all of which were stored in a book box in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, and there were several other medical books in the box for her to read carefully. There was also a prescription in the letter, which said "for the treatment of old postpartum diseases for his beloved wife Chai Lian", so she secretly prepared the above medicine and tried to mix it into the old lady's diet, or make snacks and snacks for the old lady to eat, so that the old lady's health gradually improved. And this prescription is the prototype of the Luo family's heirloom "Rejuvenation Prescription" that killed her.
Because she couldn't find a chance to sneak into the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion again, she didn't have the opportunity to find the bookbox, and she couldn't learn her grandfather's "Sanqing Needle Method", so she continued to study Mr. Dou Haiqin's "Nameless Needle Method".
The first time she was able to walk into the library openly, it was when she was eighteen years old and went back and forth from Daning to visit relatives. The people here in Yangzhou have long heard that she has become half a hostess in King Ning's Mansion in the north, and she is surprisingly capable, and she is very appreciated by King Ning, so everyone's face swept away the kind of disdainful eyes that looked down on her, and some of them also showed some stammering expressions in their hearts, which flattered her - of course, the library pavilion in Luofu is no longer a "forbidden place" for her.
She walked in generously, wandered in this sea of books alone, and then found the dark green iron box mentioned by her grandfather in the suicide note in a pile of dusty old bookcases, and found that her grandfather's "Sanqing Needle Method and Reference" and various codex letters were full of dozens of catties. The years and months marked on the codex, from the time of his weak crown to the end of the year of the sixtieth year, decades of uninterrupted writing of the Codex of medical experience did not leave any of his three sons, but to a granddaughter who cried day and night in infancy, and even at that time it was not sure whether she would be able to grow up smoothly.
Reading those rigorously worded and outdated medical book codexes, she was deeply moved in her heart, and felt that she had found a second relative in the Luo family besides her mother, this rumored Chinese medicine technique followed the famous doctor in the world under the old lady, her maternal grandfather Luo Du Zhong.
Thinking that the other three people in Luo Mansion are his children and grandchildren, she has a lot less rejection and resentment towards the people in the three rooms, thinking about drinking water and thinking about the source, since she has inherited her grandfather's kindness, she should always let the entire Luo family benefit. With this thought, in the days to come, no matter how those people treated her and her mother, she would think about her grandfather's kindness before talking and mediating with those people, after all, it was not something that his old man wanted to see.
At that time, she found that although her grandfather's Sanqing acupuncture method was not as wonderful as the old lady, he had many of his own originalities, and it could even be said to be his own school. In the years that followed, she fused the Sanqing acupuncture method and the nameless acupuncture method, and after creating her own "Yunqi acupuncture method", she found that her acupuncture could often save some birds and small beasts that had just died.
Another time, she found a secret book under the bluestone slab of the Luofu ancestral hall in several Tibetan poems of her grandfather, so she went to the other place, read the letter, and realized that many years ago, her grandfather had discovered a secret about the elixir of life.
At that time, she was trying her best to get the anti-aging prescription from Bai Yangbai, and for a while she even wondered that Bai Yangbai was so mysterious and precious about that prescription, could the so-called anti-aging prescription be the "elixir of immortality" mentioned in her grandfather's letter?
