Chapter 56: The Dumb Man Eats the Yellow Lotus
Sure enough, the old lady was instantly furious, looked at Lin Nuoya and asked through gritted teeth: "Xiao Jiu, what you said is true?" ”
Bailijiu's face was innocent and complaining: "These days, the child has been working hard, but it seems that there is no improvement, and his strength is not enough." ”
"Good, good!" The old lady nodded, and suddenly became furious, and shouted at Lin Nuoya with a fierce voice: "Don't kneel down for me yet!" ”
The old lady was originally not angry and self-threatening, which was prohibitive, but now she started a fire, which was even more terrifying.
Lin Nuoya didn't know how to argue, so she unconsciously weakened her knees, knelt down, and pouted secretly, hating to stir-fry Bailijiu, braised it, stewed, fried, vinegared, no, it was a chopping ball!
"Come on, bring me the family law."
The servants waiting outside the door didn't know why the old lady was angry, so they hurriedly trotted, took a shiny bamboo strip, and presented it to her respectfully.
The old lady took it in her hand, and without saying a word, she hit Noya on the head and face.
Noah quickly raised her arm to dodge, but the expected pain did not fall on her body. Cautiously opened his eyes, it turned out that it was the fox Jiu who caught the bamboo strips.
"Xiao Jiu, what are you doing here?" The old lady scolded angrily: "If I am not familiar with her skin today, how can I be worthy of your father who went to the frontier to protect his family and defend the country?!" How to face the ancestors of the Baili family? ”
Bailijiu hurriedly helped his mother to calm down: "Mother, can you listen to me?" Otherwise, if you kill her, what if my Baili Mansion really breaks the incense? ”
The old lady gritted her teeth hatefully: "Even if she dies today, it will be difficult to understand the hatred in my heart." ”
Baili Jiu helped the old lady to sit down on the Taishi chair, picked up the teacup and handed it to the old lady, and then whispered with a hippie smile: "I secretly asked for ten doses of soup in private, and the old soup man said that I was not physically responsible, but mainly because of mental obstacles. If you want to recover as soon as possible, it is not enough to rely on medication, you also need her assistance. ”
Only then did the old lady remember that she was so angry that she forgot to ask Bailijiu if there was a cure for this disease. Listening to his explanation, it was also reasonable, and he asked suspiciously: "Is this true?" You're not favoring her, are you? ”
"Oh, old lady, you still don't know how your son is temperamental? She has made me unhappy now, I can't love it, why am I still partial to her? I was skeptical and resentful of her, and I had never set foot in a single thought these days. I secretly drank more than a dozen pairs of decoction behind my back, but there was no improvement. If you want to eat the old soup, you can't try it. ”
The old lady hesitated a little when she held the bamboo strip in her hand.
Baili Jiu leaned down and whispered two words in the old lady's ear, the old lady glanced at Lin Nuoya fiercely, and said angrily: "Having said that, the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped. The little life was kept for her for the time being. ”
Noah knew that even if he defended, it was useless, his popularity was too bad, and the four people in front of him hated to collude and put themselves to death. There is no excuse for wanting to add to the crime, not to mention that he was indeed reckless for a while and fell into the trap of this demon fox. Now he brazenly shouts that he can't be humane, he can't tear off his pants in front of everyone and verify his identity, right? It is the dumb who eats Coptis chinensis and has words of suffering.
In addition to gloating, Qin Darling and An Ruoxi looked at her with a little more anger and hatred, obviously believing in Baili Jiu's arrangement, and hating Nuoya to the core. That An Ruoxi frowned even more, and she wanted to cry.
The old lady still held the bamboo strip in her hand, and said sharply at Lin Nuoya: "Stretch out your hand!" ”
Lin Nuoya timidly stretched out her hand, looking at the shiny bamboo strip in the old lady's hand, a cold air rose in her heart, and she hit it in three or two, and her hand was afraid that it would be half wasted.
The old lady lifted the bamboo strip high and struck it hard, but she didn't pounce coldly. Lin Noya withdrew her hand at the last minute.
"How dare you hide?" The old lady was incredulous: "I have been in charge of the General's Mansion for decades, and no one has dared to avoid my board." ”
Lin Nuoya smiled shyly and smiled "hehe": "Noya suddenly remembered that if this hand was wasted, he would not be able to serve the ninth master wholeheartedly and wash his hands and make soup for him." ”
Baili Jiu stood aside and said leisurely: "It sounds a pity." ”
"Could it be that there is no cook in my general's mansion?" The old lady said angrily.
Noah raised her smiling face: "The soup that Noah said is not an ordinary meal, but a secret recipe for medicinal food inherited from the ancestors. ”
"Medicinal diet?" The old lady narrowed her eyes, and became a little interested.
"Yes, there have been many palace medicinal recipes handed down by Nuo Yazu, and several of them are caused by the heart palpitations and horrors of the Ninth Master...... Circumstance. Medicine is not as good as food, even if it is a decoction of ten doses of soup, I am afraid that it will not be so effective. ”
Noah is serious and careful.
Bailijiu suddenly became interested: "This soup is really hard to swallow when I drink it, I can't wait to vomit it, but I am looking forward to eating and replenishing." ”
The old lady knew that Nuoya's craftsmanship was not boasting, so she was suddenly a little shaken, and the hand holding the bamboo strip hesitated to put it down, and glanced at Qin and An next to her.
Qin Bao'er and An Ruoxi originally wanted to fall into the well and take the opportunity to bring down Lin Nuoya, but they were afraid of the old lady's reprimand just now, not to mention that Bailijiu was here, so they were silent on the side.
The mother-in-law behind An Ruoxi poked her waist and eyes, glanced at her, and motioned her to step forward to give the old lady a step.
An Ruoxi thought for a while, stepped forward, held the bamboo strip in the old lady's hand, and smiled reluctantly: "Since Aunt Lin is so confident, why don't you give her a chance?" If you can really cure the hidden disease of the ninth master, it will also be regarded as a credit, and the merit will be offset. If it's just lying and boasting, then add thirty more boards firmly, and my mother said it's okay? ”
The old lady originally had this intention, but she was embarrassed to take back the water she spilled when she said it. Now An Ruoxi just persuaded each other, and every word was said in his heart, so he pushed the boat down the river and gave up.
"From today on, I will hand over the meal of the ninth master to you to serve, and give you a half-month period, if the ninth master is not safe and sound, don't blame my subordinates for being merciless, be careful of your life."
Noya is still secretly thinking about An Ruoxi's words in her heart, thirty boards, plus thirty boards, a total of sixty, if you are ruthless, don't say that the skin is open, and it is good to be able to save your life. She seems to be virtuous and generous, pleading for herself, but in fact she is digging a deeper pit in front of her.
But in the end, this board escaped for the time being, and Noah should feel lucky, and be grateful to the old lady for not killing.
She sent the girl back in advance, and walked alone on the way back to Yi Nian Tang, her legs were as heavy as lead, physically and mentally exhausted, and she felt a little depressed in her heart.
She clearly knew that Baili Jiu was not as unlearned as he seemed on the surface, on the contrary, he was resourceful, witty and fickle, a vixen who disguised himself well, and she still believed him naively.
She has always believed that Baili Jiu is different from herself, and she also knows that there must be some ulterior conspiracy behind this treatment that is different from Qin and An. However, this hypocritical favor satisfies the vanity of Noah's heart and the thirst for love. Noya felt that there was a moment when her heart softened and melted, and she even naively regarded Bailijiu as a confidant and friend, and smiled in the garden.
Even, ignorantly, she once naively thought that maybe this is not a bad thing to accompany you for the rest of your life.
Today, she fell from the clouds into the mire, and was poured a basin of cold water, cold from head to toe. She still didn't understand Bailijiu's intention to do this, she only knew that she was wronged in her heart, and she was affected, and the old lady's whipping almost fell on her body, tearing her skin.
And the culprit Baili Jiu stood aside, watching coldly and indifferently.
She was a little tired, too lazy to move, too lazy to speak, and even too lazy to breathe, discouraged. Walking tiredly on the cobblepath, hunched his shoulders, looking at his own shadow in the cold light, high and low, alone, pale and desolate.
She wants to be alone, to be quiet, to sort out her chaotic thoughts, and to think about the future and how she should go.
Find a clean stone and sit down, wrap your arms around your knees, curl up, and bury your head in the crook of your knees. Her thin shoulders trembled like fallen leaves in the wind, and she didn't know if it was because the night wind was too cold, or if she finally couldn't help it, sobbing softly, and silently venting?
Not far from behind her, Bailijiu stood there silently, looking at her lonely and pitiful figure, without saying a word.
In his ink-like eyes, there seemed to be an indescribable, inexplicable emotion slowly rising from the bottom of his eyes, rendering and struggling sharply, but it was so thick that it couldn't be dissolved.
"Master?" The ingots behind him couldn't help but make a sound.
Baili Jiu raised his hand to interrupt him: "Go to Yinian Hall, call Kikyo or Twilight Si over, and take her back, it's already windy." ”
Yuan Bao wanted to say something, but finally didn't say anything, sighed softly, and disappeared into the hazy night.
The night was deep, the cool breeze was blowing, and the figure of Baili Jiu was also standing there, stretched by the light, and gradually covered with a layer of frost, with a sense of independence from the world.
