Yun Xi didn't answer, but raised his orchid finger and slowly picked up the teacup, gently blowing hot air on the tea.

Yun Yin silently stared at the tea cup in his hand, and after a long time, he turned sideways and looked at the beautiful woman in the painting carefully.

In the Boshan incense burner of birds and beasts on the table, a stream of dipterocarp rises vertically from the mountains. It is like a fairy aura, which makes people feel in a fairyland and be intoxicated.

Using incense burners to repel mosquitoes is still the method proposed by Gu Xijun at the beginning, which makes Yunxi naturally think of the summer thirty years ago:

It was a few days after Gu Xijun first arrived in Yunfu, and she still remembered that she wore a water-blue robe that day, shuttling back and forth in the garden, as if she was looking for something.

Yunxi looked around left and right and saw that the flowers and leaves in the garden were luxuriant, and there were no other abnormalities. Out of curiosity, he walked over, and after bowing, he asked, "Gu Gongzi, ...... are you?"

"Oh, Brother Yun, you!" Gu Xijun said hello, raised his head and smiled, but Yun Xi was shocked.

I saw that Gu Xijun's face and hands were covered with wet mud, and the front and corners of his blue robe were also covered with mud and grass.

"Childe, what did you lose?" Yun Xi looked at the weeds in her hand in surprise.

"Huh?" Gu Xijun was stunned for a moment, followed his gaze to look at the "weeds" in his hand, and immediately said with a smile: "Oh! Brother Yun refers to this, right? These are wormwood, artemisia grass and some flowers. In ancient times, there were too many mosquitoes, and they bit people hard, so I made a mosquito coil to drive them away. ”

Yun Yin didn't understand the meaning of the mosquito coil in Gu Xijun's words, but looking at the herbs she was lifting, she was as smart as him, and she immediately understood a rough idea.

So he smiled heartily and said: "As the old saying goes: 'When there are more gnats than today, listen to their own bites, and they can't avoid it a little.'" ’

Therefore, every Dragon Boat Festival, collect and store duckweed, dry in the shade, add realgar, make paper wrapped in incense, and burn it to remove mosquitoes. ”

"Huh, hehehe......" Gu Xijun cracked in place.

As soon as she finished speaking, Yun Xi looked at Gu Xijun's winkling eyes in the circle and smiled dryly, and remembered her performance when the mansion held a poetry meeting with friends a few days ago. He immediately clenched his fist and coughed lightly to hide his smile.

"It turns out that this is wormwood. Yun Xi stretched out his hand and gently picked one up, and re-explained: "The people in Yunfu usually collect the wormwood and artemisia grass that have borne seeds back into the mansion, braid them, dry them and burn them in the summer of the next year to repel mosquitoes. ”

Speaking of this, he seemed to remember something, and raised his voice and said: "By the way, didn't the mansion prepare these materials for the prince? It was our Yun Mansion that was negligent, so Yun Mou ordered the slaves and maids to send the fire rope to the two villas. ”

Gu Xijun saw that he was about to stretch out his hand to summon the little slave who was passing by, and immediately opened his mouth to stop: "Alas, Young Master Yun wait!

This fire rope can repel mosquitoes, but you can't get it anywhere and the like, and the smell is too bad, and it can be full of smoke. This one is a bit unsightly, and it's not very suitable for a pick-up party.

The one I'm going to develop is called incense diffuser in our place, and it can be added to the incense burner and placed on the table! It is not easy to see but not to cause fire. ”

Gu Xijun said, proudly raised the flowers and plants in his hand and shook them, showing two rows of white teeth in his mouth, and his smile was like the warm sun in April......

"Master, your distinguished guest has arrived. ”

A soft announcement from the guards outside the closet interrupted Yun Xi's memories.

After Yun Xi heard this, he timely restrained the light smile on his face and said in a low voice: "Got it!"

Then, forgetting Yun Yin's background, he sighed for the third time today: "I'm sorry, I'm ...... Can't promise you!"

Even if Yun Yin didn't say it, Yun Xi knew the purpose of his sudden come: let himself not use Gu Xijun to deal with the Lu family!

"Why? For so many years, in order to consolidate the position of the Central Plains of Dian Zhou, the Yun clan has not sacrificed enough people? Why do you want to involve an innocent outsider, especially ......?"

Yun Yin listened to Yun Xi's answer, looked a little excited, looked back at the portrait on the wall, turned around and said in an accentuated tone: "Especially, it's still the woman you like!"

Yun Xi closed his eyes and tried to keep his qi pulse steady. After conditioning his breathing, he said in a trembling voice, "Do you think I'm willing to do this?"

A pair of tired and sad eyes slowly opened again, looking at Yun Yin, the wrinkles at the corners of Yun Xi's eyes had already covered up the heroic spirit he had wantonly in the past.

"Do you think I'm willing to come and let strangers die in vain for the sake of hegemony? I am willing to go against my conscience and watch the people and relatives I know leave me one by one? This includes even my own brother!

Look at you, what has become of you now in order to practice evil arts? Every day you are riddled with demons and suffering, and you regret it for a lifetime!!

But what can I do? I am the head of the Yun family, and I have to make a trade-off! The fate of the entire Yun Qi and the entire family is compared to the lives of the same part of the people, if it were you, how would you choose?"

The more Yun Xi spoke, the higher his voice became. In the end, he was so excited that he completely shouted out. Then he lost his strength and slumped back in his chair.

Yun Yin stood opposite Yun Xi with an expressionless face, listening quietly and watching quietly.

But when I saw the tears in Yun Xi's eyes after he finished speaking, the hurdle in his heart was finally broken by a word called family affection, and it was impossible to add more.

"Can't it, as if she never came back?" Yun Yin lowered his head and asked tentatively, his voice even more hoarse.

Yun Xi's eyes stared straight at the ground, and he shook his head slightly: "In the past few years, the Lu family has temporarily lost the suppression and competition between the Mu family and the Ji family, and the exchange of knife coins of herbs and cloth has grown stronger and stronger in Yunnan. Cloth, in particular, has gradually had a tendency to replace cloud silk weaving.

You know, Lu Lan seems to have secretly studied some kind of evil art in private, which can control people's souls. Because of your existence, he has never dared to act rashly against the Yun family. But you and I can feel the feeling of staring at each other! This evil art is unheard of, and even your unique master has not been able to crack it.

Gu Xijun...... Since they were able to easily get out of the few treacherous mountains bought by the Lu family unscathed, it showed that there was a chance to get rid of this evil art. And you can see that their faces have not changed, there must be something special about them.

Besides, according to the information I have gotten, after the two of them returned this time, they have been secretly inquiring about Lu Lan's news! This is an excellent time to assassinate Lu Lan, so I want to ......"

Before he could finish speaking, Yun Yin gritted his teeth and interrupted and asked, "So, you want to reap the benefits of the fisherman?!"
