Chapter 2 Poisoning Zhixian

Jin Gui silently turned around and returned to the room where the servants lived, and took out his baggage from under the bed.

The burden is not big, and there is a white filial piety robe, a filial piety hat, a set of long shirts worn when you come, and a few pieces of scattered silver. After thinking for a moment, Jin Gui took out two coins of silver, then tied the burden around his waist, and pulled the outer short coat down to cover the burden. Unable to see anything unusual about his clothes, he turned and walked out of the room firmly.

Late at night, three o'clock. The snow that had stopped in the afternoon began to fall again, and it tended to get heavier and heavier.

The provincial banquet of the Jin Mansion lasted from noon to the end of the day, and the wives and aunts of the Jin family accompanied their aunts and young ladies to chat and gossip in the living room.

After getting drunk, Jin Zhixian was helped by the maid on duty, Qiong'er, to the main room in the backyard to rest alone. After a while, I suddenly heard Jin Zhixian incoherently commanding: "Come...... Someone, ...... Tea. ”

Yahuan Qiong'er, who was waiting outside the door, promised to enter the door to serve, Jin Gui, who had been hiding in the shadows for a long time, hesitated, and then stepped forward with an arrow and said in a low voice: "Sister Qiong'er, or I will serve." ”

Qiong'er didn't watch out for someone popping up in the shadows, so she was so startled that she saw that it was Jin Gui and said with a smile: "Who did I say scared me in the middle of the night, it turned out to be you." Xiao Jingui, why did you run to the backyard, you haven't had enough of the master's mouth at noon!"

Jin Gui smiled bitterly and said, "I'm here for noon." I want to serve you tonight, and take the opportunity to beg him to forgive me, otherwise I will have to work in the firewood room from tomorrow onwards, and my life will be ruined. So Sister Qiong'er, you are doing well, just let me come, don't worry, I will definitely serve the master well. ”

Qiong'er pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "It's because your sister Qiong'er and Sister Qiong'er are called so well that I take care of you to help you, and I don't care about other people's affairs." Let's go in, I'll be guarding the door, if the lord is annoyed, I'll go in immediately to relieve the siege. You go in and stay by the fire in the outhouse for a while, relieve the cold on your body, and then make tea. The teapot is on the table of the eight immortals in the inner room, the fragrant snail tea is in the tray on the corner table next to it, the water must be boiled to ninety percent before it can be brewed, too hot or too cold to brew out of the taste is not right, and the lord will be angry. After brewing, put it on the windowsill of the outhouse to cool down, and the lord wants to drink cooler tea. Be careful, don't break the tea set again. After speaking, he raised the curtain and let Jin Gui enter.

Jin Guishen gave a salute: "Thank you, Sister Qiong'er." ”

The main room is the inner and outer suite, and Kim Ji-gun is sleeping on the big bed in the inner room. Jin Gui took the teapot and put in the fragrant snail tea. After hesitating for a while, he finally took out the Wulingsan prepared in the afternoon from his bosom and poured it into the teapot, waited for the water to boil, brewed a small half pot, and then poured a tea bowl and rested it on the windowsill.

These five lingsan were mentioned casually by the master when Jin Gui was studying medicine at the master's house, and once when he was dispensing medicine for the master. At that time, not long after he began to study medicine, the master instructed him to prepare five flower powder, and he mistakenly caught the neem flower among the five flowers, white neem, white chrysanthemum, white lotus, and white silver flower into a white orchid.

Shi An still clearly remembers the words of the master at that time: "In this world, herbs have their own uses, and you must remember the prescription accurately, otherwise it will not cure the disease and save people, but harm people." For example, this time you prepared this common five-flowered flower, and the correct preparation can solve all the swelling and poison that does not fester, but like you today, you mistakenly caught the neem flower into a white orchid, and it became a five-lingsan that ordinary doctors are not familiar with. This is a highly poisonous thing, and one hour after taking it, the internal organs were poisoned and the seven orifices hemorrhaged and died, and there is no cure. In this way, he was warned that when studying medicine, he must carefully remember the use of each medicine, and he must not make mistakes and mix up. Jin Gui kept it in mind, and since then he has carefully studied pharmacological prescriptions and has never made any mistakes. I didn't expect that the recipe that the master casually gave an example back then will become a tool to avenge the unjust death of the master today, which is really the reincarnation of heaven, and the retribution is not happy.

"Sir, you want tea. After the tea was cold, Jin Gui walked to Jin Zhixian's bed with the teacup and said softly.

"How...... How are you, Joan...... What about Qiong'er?" Jin Zhixian slurred.

"Sister Qiong'er is in a hurry, afraid of delaying your tea, so I specially ordered the little one to serve you. ”

"Dog...... Dog minion, you ...... How dare you enter...... Go into the inner room. Jin Zhixian scolded weakly.

"The little noon flask made you angry, and I would like to apologize to you. ”

"Strike...... That's it, today...... Today is ...... Spare you once, next ...... The next is not an example. ”

"Thank you, Master!"

"Tea ...... Where's the tea?"

"Sir, use it slowly. Jin Gui handed the tea bowl to Jin Zhixian with some trembling and said softly. The first time he wanted to poison a living person in front of him, he couldn't help but be a little panicked, even if the person in front of him was the enemy who killed his master's family.

And after seeing Jin Zhixian drink it slowly, he calmed down a lot. He said with hatred in his heart: "Golden thief, golden old dog, you will die of pain in an hour, so that you can also taste the taste of being killed." ”

Jin Zhixian smacked his lips and suddenly asked, "Today's tea...... How to ...... tea What's so weird...... Strange smell?"

Jin Gui was taken aback, and hurriedly prevaricated and said: "It must be that the small technique is not as good as Sister Qiong'er, plus the master drank the wine happily today, and the taste of the tea is naturally different from the past." Sir, do you still want to drink it, would you like to pour you another bowl?"

Jin Zhixian shook his head, said no more, and fell asleep.

Jin Gui saw that he was sleeping soundly, so he poured the remaining elixir from the teapot on the floor next to the stove, took out the residue of the fragrant snail tea and Wulingsan, buried it in a pot of azaleas on the table of the Eight Immortals, rinsed the teapot and tea bowl with boiling water, and rebrewed more than half a pot of fragrant snail tea, poured half of it into the tea bowl and put it on the side of the table. Seeing that everything was normal, he stabilized his mind and slowly exited the room.

When he saw Qiong'er at the door, Jin Gui said: "The master has eaten tea and has fallen asleep, so my sister can rest in peace." After that, he turned around and wanted to leave, ready to use the excuse he had thought of to sneak out of the golden house and escape.

Qiong'er grabbed him and asked with concern, "Jin Gui, has the master forgiven you?"

was pulled and asked by Qiong'er like this, Jin Gui was suddenly surprised. Thinking that Qiong'er is not thin on herself, and she is still caring about herself, I can't help but be a little moved. Thinking that Jin Zhixian disappeared immediately after being poisoned, others must have expected that he was the murderer, but Qiong'er couldn't get out of it, and she really couldn't bear to be implicated. remembered Qiong'er's dislike for Jin Zhixian, who coveted her beauty, and said in her heart: "No," without waiting for Qiong'er to answer, she said nonsense: "Oh, by the way, Sister Qiong'er, I forgot to congratulate you, just now the old man thought in his sleep that you were serving him, and he was talking to me about marrying you as the sixth concubine, you finally got out, and you don't have to be a maid to serve anymore!"

The smile on Qiong'er's face froze suddenly, thinking that when he helped Jin Zhixian back to the room just now, he was still touching himself constantly, and his eyes were red and he muttered: "I can't hide it, how can this be good?"

"Don't you want to marry him?" Jin Gui said in surprise.

"This old pervert always wants to take advantage of me, and I hate him to death. Two years ago, I was forced to sell myself to the Jin family to be a maid in order to bury my parents. If I hadn't been waiting for my fiancΓ© to earn money to ransom me, I would rather kill myself than let this old dog take advantage of me. Now, what can I do now?" said Qiong'er, with red circles in her eyes, and lowered her voice.

"I hate him too, he's an old dog, don't I just break a wine jug, and he still won't forgive me, and just now he said that he left me a show of affection in front of the guests at noon, and someone will beat me to death early tomorrow morning." I can't stay any longer, I'm going to run away tonight, or ...... Why don't you run away with me and go find your fiancΓ©. Jin Gui said.

After thinking for a moment, Qiong'er said firmly: "That's the only way to do it, I'll go with you, you wait for me to pack my luggage first."

"What else are you packing? You don't have anything of value, just leave early, and save a lot of dreams at night." Besides, I've got everything I need to escape. With that, he lifted the short coat on his body and let Qiong'er look at the burden tied around his waist.

Qiong'er, who was in a panic, didn't think about why Jin Gui packed up early, but just asked, "The door of the house has already been closed at this time, how can we get out?"

"Don't worry, I've already figured out a way, follow me. Jin Gui looked confident.

The two walked quickly to the front yard and found Ding Jiner, who was on duty at night, and Jin Gui said, "Second Uncle Jin, my uncle asked me to go to the post station to get a few things in his carriage, and come back in half an hour." ”

"Well, then why is Qiong'er going too?" Jin Er looked at Qiong'er with some confusion and asked.

Qiong'er didn't know how to answer, and looked at Jin Gui in a daze.

"There are also Miss's personal things in the things I want to take, and it's not convenient for me to be a gentleman, so I asked Sister Qiong'er to help. ”

Jin Er nodded, opened the courtyard door, and teased again: "What else can you do as a rabbit cub, pour a wine and beat the wine jug, so that you can chop firewood for a lifetime, and if I am a master, I will cut off your eggs." "This is a rough man, he has been a night vigil in the Jin family for more than ten years, and he has never liked the literate Jin Gui, and he always looks for various opportunities to disgust him.

"So, I'll hurry up and take this kind of work that no one wants to run far, and make the merit for the crime, I hope that tomorrow the master can dissipate his anger. Second Uncle Jin, if you have the opportunity, you will also give me a few kind words in front of the master. Jin Gui said.

After speaking, Jin Gui and Qiong'er stepped out of the hospital. Before the door of the Jin Mansion was closed, Jin Gui looked up at the embroidery building in the middle of the second courtyard with hatred, and scolded in his heart: "Sun Lang, Sun Lang, let your kid live for two more days, wait for Lao Tzu to learn kung fu, and then go to your wolf head to help take your dog's life and avenge the master and mother." ”。

Jin Er closed the door and locked it.
