Zhou Huaixuan said quietly: "I heard that it is rumored outside that Grandma Zheng is happy with King Zhao, so she hurt her sister, is it true?" ”

Old Man Zhou lowered his eyes, took a sip of the tea on the table, sandwiched another meat bun and ate it, and said with a slow smile: "Who did you listen to?" ”

"Just go to the teahouse outside and sit down, and you can hear everyone talking." Zhou Huaixuan said lightly. Actually, he just found out, but it doesn't matter......

Old Man Zhou smiled, poured himself a cup of tea with a small teapot, and said with emotion: "I didn't expect King Zhao to have such a hand, but I was impressed by him again." ”

"How?" Zhou Huaixuan tilted his head, his brows furrowed slightly.

"I don't know if Grandma Zheng was happy with King Zhao, so she killed her sister, but I do know that her sister was sent back by her. When he returned, he was said to be so skinny that he couldn't move, couldn't speak, and could only open his eyes. Old Man Zhou drank all the tea in the small teacup.

Zhou Huaixuan was stunned, "Do you know this?" ”

"I didn't know, but you know it well, so I know it too." Old Man Zhou looked at Zhou Huaixuan, winked at him, and said slyly.

Zhou Huaixuan stood up quietly, "That's it, it shouldn't be fake." ”

"Haha, why care if it's true or not? Anyway, people live to be 100 years old, no matter whether they are rich or poor, and in the end they are just a piece of loess. Old Man Zhou said with a smile and asked Zhou Huaixuan, "Do you want to eat more?" ”

Zhou Huaixuan shook his head and left.

After he left, Steward Zhou came in and asked Old Man Zhou. "Sir. Last night, Xianbai went out of the city overnight with a few people. It seems that I went to Wujiazhuang. ”

Old Man Zhou ate his breakfast by himself, shook his head and said, "Children's affairs, don't care about them, let them make trouble." "I don't care about it at all.

Zhou Da Steward didn't say anything more.

……

Sheng Siyan had just had breakfast here, and there was a mother-in-law outside who reported that the second girl of the Wu family was here.

Sheng Siyan hurriedly said, "Please." ”

She knew that Wu Chanjuan was here to wait for news.

Yesterday, she had persuaded Sheng Qiye to go to Wujiazhuang with her to diagnose Wu Chanjuan's mother-in-law, Zheng Suxin.

"Siyan. Ling Zun is really willing to go with me to Wujiazhuang to see my mother?! Wu Chanjuan's surprised and happy appearance made Sheng Siyan feel a lot of pressure in her heart.

Although Zheng Suxin deserves it, Wu Chanjuan ...... It's just a filial daughter who is worried about her mother's illness.

After Sheng Qiye finished breakfast, he heard that Wu Chanjuan was coming, and sent someone over to spread the word, saying that he was ready and could leave at any time.

Sheng Siyan also put on a big hat and said to Wu Chanjuan: "My father is not used to going out, so I will accompany him." ”

Wu Chanjuan hurriedly said: "I can't ask for it, my big car is outside." ”

Sheng Siyan smiled: "We take our own car." ”

Wu Chanjuan knew that the Shengguo Mansion was rich, and the Divine General's Mansion had just been hired. Five hundred dowries caused a sensation in the entire Great Xia Dynasty, and no one knows. Who doesn't know?

She suppressed her faint unhappiness and followed Sheng Siyan and Sheng Qiye out of the Shengguo Mansion together.

Sheng Siyan and Sheng Qiye got into the car of the Sheng Guo Mansion, brought four or five mothers-in-law and maids, and followed by more than a dozen people dressed as entourage, riding horses, and guarding the car, it was Zhou Huaixuan who sent them from the Divine General's Mansion to escort them.

With these people following them to Wujiazhuang, Sheng Siyan felt at ease, otherwise she really wouldn't dare to go to Wujiazhuang with only two people, Sheng Qiye.

Who knows what kind of amazing means Zheng Suxin has?

It's better for her to be cautious.

When she came to the gate of Wujiazhuang, Wu Chanjuan lifted the curtain and said two words to the person guarding the door, and the person opened the gate and let their cart drive straight into the inner courtyard of Zhuangzi.

Sheng Siyan looked carefully all the way and saw that this Zhuangzi was simple and unpretentious, and he really didn't look like the Zhuangzi of the Duke of Wu, who was known as the "God of Wealth Wu".

When she got out of the car, Wu Chanjuan said to Sheng Siyan, who was surprised: "This Zhuangzi gave us a big house, my mother likes simplicity and hates luxury, so this Zhuangzi is completely a farmhouse style." ”

Sheng Siyan smiled and nodded, "Very good, simple and atmospheric, with a back-to-basics style." ”

"You think so, too? That's what my mother said! Wu Chanjuan said proudly, and took them straight to Zheng Suxin's place to recuperate.

"You wait here, I'll go talk to my mother." Wu Chanjuan ran in with a smile.

"Mother! Mother! I invited a good doctor for my mother! Wu Chanjuan rushed to Zheng Suxin's inner room and said excitedly.

Zheng Suxin was lying on the bed, her face was sallow, her eyes were sunken, and her hair was as yellow as a handful of straw.

"Juan'er......" she asked breathlessly, "where did you go yesterday?" ”

"Mother, I went into the city yesterday to ask my mother for a doctor." Wu Chanjuan winked happily at Zheng Suxin and walked over to sit on the edge of her bed.

Zheng Suxin said with difficulty: "Don't be busy. Mother's illness, that's it. He can cure the disease, but he can't cure the life. ”

"Mother, don't say that." Wu Chanjuan's tears flowed down suddenly, "The doctor I invited to my mother this time is very powerful, so let him show you." ”

Zheng Suxin sighed, but for the sake of her daughter being so well-behaved and filial, she still blinked, "Well, let him in." ”

Wu Chanjuan got up hurriedly and asked the maid to come over to freshen up Zheng Suxin.

Zheng Suxin couldn't move, and the maid just wiped her face with a wet towel, and then combed her hair.

After Zheng Suxin cleaned up here, Wu Chanjuan happily invited Sheng Qiye in.

Sheng Siyan quietly followed Sheng Qiye into Zheng Suxin's room where he was recuperating.

As soon as she entered, she smelled a strange smell here. It's not the pickled smell of the patient's body that has been sick for a long time, but a faint fragrance in it.

The room is very spacious, with a small leaf red sandalwood carved fan in the middle, and it seems to be a living room in front and a bedroom in the back.

Under the south window, there are two Huanghuali Taishi chairs, and in the middle of the Taishi chair is a low table of Huanghuali, on which is a pot of orchids that have just drawn out tender arrows.

The corner near the south window. There is a large water tank with blue and white porcelain.

Sheng Siyan's heart moved. Take a closer look. I saw that there were large water lilies inside.

The appearance of the water lily is very delicate and peculiar, with the front of the petals being a snow-white color, and the back being a faint hazy purple.

Although there is a lot of water in the tank, it is like a pool of stagnant water, and the white and light purple water lilies are also a little listless.

Sheng Siyan's heart was ringing with the alarm bell. - This variety of water lilies is called "Purple Glass", and she has seen it in Wanqingxuan, where Zheng Xiangrong used to live in Zheng Guogong's Mansion!

At this moment, she remembered what Zheng Yuer had said.

She said that this kind of water lily called "purple glaze" is called "purple glaze". It was her aunt's favorite species. In the entire Great Xia Dynasty, only the courtyard of Wanqingxuan had it. And it is said that they can only survive there. The second grandmother of the Zheng family once tried to plant this kind of water lily in the pond in the back garden, but it did not work, and it is said that it died within a few days.

The cold winter wax moon is not the season when water lilies bloom.

But this house is as warm as spring, there should be an earth dragon and a wall of fire, otherwise this water lily would not be able to bloom in this house.

Sheng Siyan found that the "purple glazed" water lilies, which are said to be unable to survive elsewhere, were actually well raised in the house where Zheng Suxin lived in Wujiazhuang.

The only difference is that inside this jar of water lilies. There are no koi. She remembered that there were koi fish in the water tank in Wanqingxuan.

What's going on?

Sheng Siyan frowned.

Sheng Qiye bypassed the fan in the middle of the room. Walk to the bedroom inside.

Sheng Siyan hurriedly followed.

When Zheng Suxin saw that it was Sheng Qiye coming, her eyes immediately widened, she coughed twice, and said weakly: "Juan'er, this is the doctor you asked me for?" ”

Wu Chanjuan said happily: "Yes, mother, Sheng Qiye is the best doctor in the Great Xia Dynasty." Of course, except for the mother. ”

Zheng Suxin's brows furrowed, stared at Wu Chanjuan and said, "I don't have to trouble Sheng Qiye, I know my illness, you let them go back." With that, she coughed and her face became even more ashen.

Wu Chanjuan was a little overwhelmed, and said with tears: "Mother, let Sheng Qiye take a look......"

Sheng Qiye stood aside, carefully observing Zheng Suxin's complexion, it did look similar to the previous emperor's illness, but she didn't seem to be able to move, but she could see and speak, just these two things, she was already much stronger than the first emperor.

Seeing this, Sheng Siyan walked over and said with a smile: "Second Miss Wu, Ling Tang is a patient, if you are a patient, you can just listen to it, you can't do it accurately." Now that you're the one who made the decision here, if you want to cure Lingtang's illness, you should at least let my father diagnose it, right? ”

Zheng Suxin hated her as soon as she heard Sheng Siyan speak, she coughed and glared at Sheng Siyan, and said intermittently: "...... Get me out ......."

Sheng Siyan strode over, grabbed Zheng Suxin's wrist, and said to Sheng Qiye: "Dad, you come for a consultation." ”

Sheng Qiye walked over, took out a small medicine pillow for his wrist, put it under Zheng Suxin's arm, and put two fingers between her veins to diagnose the pulse.

Sheng Siyan took Sheng Qiye's medicine box and went around to the other side of the fan, opened the medicine box, took out a small porcelain bottle that he secretly put in yesterday, and put it in the most conspicuous place.

……

Deep in a forest not far from Wujiazhuang, there is a small thatched hut that has been erected temporarily.

Zhou Xianbai took people out of the city overnight last night and came to Wujiazhuang.

Although the courtyard wall here is high, it is not as high as the courtyard wall of the capital, and there are trees everywhere around, and there are many corner gates in all directions.

Zhou Xianbai took people into it very lightly, grabbed a few rough envoys at random, pretended to be a nearby bandit, and deliberately asked her about the situation in Wujiazhuang.

Those mothers-in-law were completely unfrightened, and explained the people up and down in Wujiazhuang clearly, and even recruited where the mothers-in-law in charge lived.

Therefore, Zhou Xianbai brought people in again and arrested the mother-in-law who had been in Wujiazhuang for the longest time and had the oldest seniority.

These mothers-in-law are the sons of Wujiazhuang's family, and they have been descendants of the Wu family for generations.

Although this Wujiazhuang was given to the big house, these subordinates are still old servants of the generations.

By the next morning, Zhou Xianbai had already pried out some important news from the mouths of these mothers-in-law.

"Vice General Zhou, the eldest prince is here with someone." One of Zhou Xianbai's subordinates who was guarding outside flew over and said.

Although Zhou Xianbai is Zhou Huaixuan's servant, he is also a sergeant of the Divine General's Mansion and has followed Zhou Huaixuan to fight in the northwest. He was also awarded the rank of deputy general for his military exploits.

But because he is the son of the Zhou family. This lieutenant of his. It is only a ministry in the house of the gods.

Zhou Xianbai held a withered grass in his mouth, stood up and patted his buttocks, "I'll go to meet the eldest son, you look at them." With that, he rushed out the door.

As he rushed out of the woods, he heard the sound of horses' hooves rumbling, and rushed towards him like a sea of horses.

He set up the pergola with his hands and looked at it on tiptoe.

Cha!

What did he see?!

I saw hundreds of soldiers in the Divine General's Mansion in Xuanjia and snow robes riding high-headed horses in front of me. Surrounded by Zhou Huaixuan, he galloped over.

Zhou Huaixuan was dressed in a black fox big hat, wearing a dark fox hat, carrying a nine-foot long bow, holding the reins in one hand and a sword in the other, his face was sinking like water, and he galloped towards this side.

Zhou Xianbai immediately made a bitter face: Isn't it?! What is the eldest prince going to do in this fully combat-ready outfit?!

Zhou Huaixuan came to Zhou Xianbai's side in the blink of an eye and reined in the horse.

"What about people?" Zhou Huaixuan asked.

Zhou Xianbai pointed to the thatched hut deep in the woods, "Over there." ”

Zhou Huaixuan nodded. Turning back to an adjutant general, he instructed, "Spread out and watch a little." ”

The lieutenant answered. Ordered the soldiers of the Divine General's Mansion to disperse in twos and threes, in a state of alert.

Zhou Huaixuan untied the longbow on his body, and threw the bow and the sword in his hand to Zhou Xianbai to hold.

Zhou Xianbai grinned and put the longbow on his back, and then carried Zhou Huaixuan's long sword, and followed him to the thatched house deep in the woods.

Entering the room, Zhou Huaixuan stood behind the screen with his hands behind his back, listening to Zhou Xianbai asking questions on the other side of the screen.

The mothers-in-law were blindfolded and locked up in a cellar under a thatched hut.

When I needed to ask questions, I brought them up one by one and asked them.

Zhou Xianbai had already ordered someone to ask for one round last night, and now it is the second round.

"Let me ask you, how many times has Grandma Zheng been to Zhuangzi over the years, what has she done?" An ordinary sergeant asked.

Zhou Xianbai also masked, standing with his arms crossed and listening.

The mother-in-law trembled and said: "If you go back to your adulthood, our grandmother has come to live in Zhuangzi for a while every year since she got married. One year I stayed for a long time, and I would come to stay for a few days every month. ”

"What year is it?"

"From the middle of the fourteenth year of the Ming calendar to the middle of the fifteenth year of the Ming calendar."

"What is she here for?"

“…… I didn't do anything, just stayed on the Zhuangzi. ”

"Nothing? Isn't there anything she will come to stay with often? Don't tell the truth, do you?! The sergeant made a gesture to beat her.

The woman was so frightened that she hugged her head and screamed, "Uncle! Uncle! What does the big grandmother do, the slave really doesn't know! But......" she hesitated for a while, but still said: "Once, the eldest grandmother suddenly disappeared for three or five days......"

Zhou Huaixuan turned around behind the screen, and the horsewhip in his hand knocked on the screen.

Zhou Xianbai understood and glanced at the sergeant who asked him.

The sergeant nodded, and said, "What do you mean by not seeing each other for three or five days?" Did she sneak out? ”

The woman shook her head, "Probably not." That time, it was the slave maid who was on duty at night and kept guard at the door of the grandmother. The slave and maid had eaten too much during the day before, and had saved food, and could not sleep at night, so they kept their eyes open all night. I kept watch at the door all night, and the next morning I went to the house to call the grandmother, but I didn't see the grandmother's figure. At that time, I was looking inside and outside the house, and I was so frightened that I didn't dare to make a noise. ”

"And then?"

"Later, after three or five days, the eldest grandmother came out of the back room, still wearing the clothes she had when she was gone." The mother-in-law paused, "The slave was very scared at the time, and secretly asked where the grandmother went?" But the eldest grandmother said that I was talking nonsense, she was always in the house, how could she go anywhere else? Therefore, it is said that slaves and maids are not good to be errands, and the slaves and maids are relegated to the firewood house. If the man who is not a slave is the head of the village, the slave and the maid will be sold. ”

"Is that three days or five days?" The sergeant saw Zhou Xianbai's gesture and asked again.

The woman thought about it for a long time, but she still shook her head with her mouth curled, "I really don't remember." Fourteen years later, who remembers whether it was three or five days? In short, it's not three days or five days. ”

Zhou Huaixuan listened, frowned behind the screen, and felt that this was very strange.

Suddenly appearing and disappearing again seems to be a unique ability of fallen people.

Is this Grandma Zheng related to the depraved people?

But she must be more than thirty years old this year, right?
