Chapter 206: Mrs. Lintel
readx;
Shen Miao and Luo Tan returned to the original thatched house, Fennel and Anise stood under a locust tree and watched, but Congyang and Mo Qing sat under the tree holding their swords, their brows furrowed extremely tightly
Fennel suddenly said, "It's coming!" Octagon also hurried up to catch up, and saw that the strange Taoist priest was followed by Luo Tan and Shen Miao, walking towards this end, Luo Tan was better, but Shen Miao fell down somewhere, rubbing all over his body with mud, his hair was also a little unkempt, and there was some smell. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Fennel and Octagon glanced at each other, and their hearts were all one, and Octagon asked, "Madam, what are you ......?"
Luo Tan was about to speak, but Shen Miao pulled his sleeve, raised his eyes, Shen Miao shook his head at her almost invisibly, and swallowed the words that came to his mouth again.
Shen Miao said: "Let's go." ”
The Red Flame Daoist said, "Since you are in a hurry, you don't have to walk the same way you came. I'll show you a shortcut. He took a few people around and around, and when he came to one side, there was an endless countryside, and in the midst of these criss-crossed fields, there was a clearly visible path.
Ben Yue once said that the road that the pair of sisters and brothers walked had fields and paths, but now it coincides with what is in front of them, and I think that the pair of sisters and brothers did not take the same road as Shen Miao when they came, but this one.
Chiyan said: "If you follow this road all the way forward, you will be able to reach the exit. He looked at Shen Miao again and said with a smile: "Poor Dao once told Madame that Madame would have a catastrophe. ”
Shen Miao looked at him calmly: "Dao Chief wants to say, is that calamity going to appear now?"
"The calamity is born in response to the destiny of heaven, and the heavenly opportunity cannot be revealed. The Taoist priest smiled mysteriously: "However, it won't be long before Poor Dao and Mrs. will meet again." When the time comes, I hope that Mrs. can also pull out the insects on the red-sleeved grass like last night, and then the catastrophe will have a chance to be resolved. ”
What he said was neither yin nor yang, unclear or clear, everyone else was confused, and Shen Miao didn't understand it very clearly. It's just that there isn't much to do here at the moment, and if nothing goes wrong, plus the time you left, and the night you spent here, it's the sixth day. The Guiyuan Pill is best to last only ten days, and besides, the old lady doctor said that Xie Jingxing's poison has begun to spread, and it will be dangerous in about seven days. There's really no time to stay right now.
After saying goodbye to Chiyan, Shen Miao and the others walked onto the path in the field. This path was indeed as the Red Flame Dao Leader had said, much easier than the woods they had walked in the day before.
When it was time to get into the carriage, Fennel still couldn't help but say, "Madam, what did that Taoist priest let you do, and what happened last night?" She looked at Shen Miao's embarrassed appearance, and didn't believe that nothing had happened.
Shen Miao said: "It's nothing, it's important to go back first." The first to get into the carriage, seeing that Shen Miao didn't want to talk more, although the fennel was suspicious, they were helpless, and Xie Jingxing's injury really couldn't be delayed, so he hurried back.
On the carriage, Luo Tan asked Shen Miao: "Little cousin, why don't you say anything?" In Luo Tan's opinion, Shen Miao suffered so much for Xie Jingxing, no matter what, it is touching, it is the husband and wife of ordinary people, who can do this step for each other, a young lady deigns to kneel down to be a medicine farmer, and it is a whole night to do it, and not everyone can do it. Shen Miao endured hardships but didn't tell others, but hid them, what's the benefit?
"It's not about showing off. Shen Miao said: "Besides, if it spreads, it will damage the face of Prince Rui's Mansion." This is the end of the matter, and you should not tell anyone else. ”
Luo Tan asked, "Isn't Prince Rui able to know?"
Shen Miao nodded.
Luo Tan said: "I know."
。 He said to Shen Miao again: "You can rest for a while, come and go, and when you get to Longye, it will be tomorrow." You had a busy night last night, and you didn't rest, and now you look haggard and tight. Even if I want to help you hide it, you can't hide it from others. ”
Shen Miao nodded, and closed her eyes behind the carriage. After a busy night yesterday, she was indeed sleepy and tired at the moment, almost on the verge of it, but there was no need to support her, and she fell asleep almost immediately when she closed her eyes, even the bumps in the carriage.
This night was very short, and it seemed that she didn't sleep long at all, Shen Miao was woken up, and when she opened her eyes, she looked at her and said, "Madam, Miss Luo, I'm back home." ”
Luo Tan also woke up, and the two jumped out of the carriage, but it was already the early morning of the second day, and the sun was already high. Shen Miao rubbed her forehead, and when she saw that there was no one to handle the gate of Prince Rui's mansion, her heart was cold.
The Prince's Mansion has always been on guard, and the guards in the handle are even more people who are transferred from the Mo Yu Army, and they are very strict on weekdays, and there are not even people at this time, could it be ...... Something went wrong?
Luo Tan also saw it, and had some bad premonitions in his heart, but he was afraid of making Shen Miao sad, so he didn't dare to say a word. Mo Qing said, "Madam, let's go and have a look first." ”
Congyang was all Xie Jingxing's subordinates, so he was naturally worried. When he walked to the prince's mansion, he saw that the people inside were empty, and he became more and more suspicious and uneasy, Shen Miao walked in a hurry, and he didn't watch out for almost hitting a person, the person was startled, and when he looked back, Shen Miao was stunned: "Madam, you are back!"
This person is Uncle Tang.
Uncle Tang's clothes looked very embarrassed, but he didn't look as shrewd as before, Shen Miao hurriedly asked, "What's going on?" Why is there no one in the house. ”
"Madam, why are you only coming back now, the news that the master's life is hanging by a thread has somehow been spread, many people are trying to be in the open and secretly these days, the house wants to help hide it, and the people at the other end of the court are coming around again, it's really a mess. Mrs. Ji has come to inquire about your whereabouts a few times, as well as the emperor's ......"
Luo Tan said: "The little cousin is also busy helping my brother-in-law find the master who saved his life, speaking of which, we have already got the ......"
"That's right!" Uncle Tang patted his head: "I forgot to tell you good news, the master is awake!"
Shen Miao and Luo Tan were stunned together, and Shen Miao asked, "Awake?"
"Yes!" Uncle Tang said: "Madame doesn't know, on the night Madame left, the master's wound suddenly cracked, and the poison couldn't be contained, and the imperial doctors in the palace said that the Guiyuan Pill couldn't save the master's life." Gao Gongzi also came over, and Gao Gongzi had no choice, he said that it would not be two days, and the master would not be good at it. "Uncle Tang's twists and turns, and the hearts of the people who said it bluntly fell up. Luo Tan was anxious, and couldn't help asking, "And then?"
Then the news spread that the master was dying, and somehow, the streets and alleys spread. Mrs. Ji was anxious, seeing that all Longye knew about it, she simply posted a list outside, asking the passers-by who could cure the master's illness to be rewarded heavily. It just so happened that someone unveiled this list, invited in, and gave the master a medicinal herb, Gao Gongzi refined the herb into a pill and gave it to the master, and the master's wound gradually improved, and he woke up in the early hours of this morning. Gao Gongzi and the imperial doctor in the palace have seen it, and the master's injuries have gradually recovered, and the poison has been resolved. ”
After Uncle Tang finished speaking, he paused, and sighed again: "It is said that the master's life should not be extinguished, and two years ago, others also said that the master was not good, but the master came up." Now it is like this again, it is really a virtue of God, and it is also the first queen mother who blesses her master in heaven. ”
Shen Miao was really relieved when she heard that Xie Jingxing's poison had been cured. The octagonal couple also patted their chests, and a hanging heart was put back in their stomachs.
Luo Tan looked at Shen Miao, thinking that Shen Miao had finally obtained this medicinal herb from the harsh strange Taoist priest, but now the medicinal herb was useless, who let the person passing by have nothing to do to reveal this list
。 But after thinking about it, in the end, that person still cured Xie Jingxing, and then he felt that there was nothing wrong with others. It's just that Shen Miao is a little secretly worthless, and feels that Shen Miaobai has done so much.
Uncle Tang said again: "When the master first woke up, he asked Mrs. and asked where Mrs. had gone? Mrs. did not allow the old slave to talk about this matter at will, and Mrs. has not returned for a long time these days, and the old slave was afraid that something would happen, and he was also afraid that the master's cranky thoughts would make the injury worse, so he concealed it. ”
Shen Miao said: "You did a good job. She didn't want others to know that she went to find Chiyan, firstly, because she was afraid that someone else would take advantage of it, and secondly, if a person was too sad about something, it would become an obvious weakness of this person. If someone else wants to deal with Shen Miao one day, then they only need to start with Xie Jingxing. Shen Miao didn't want to expose her weaknesses too early.
And how Xie Jingxing would view her somewhat reckless behavior, Shen Miao was not sure. I just want to wait for Xie Jingxing's injuries to get better in a few days, and then explain them to him one by one.
"I'll go see him first. Shen Miao said.
"Ma'am. Uncle Tang stopped her and said, "The master just took the medicine that Gao Gongzi decocted, and he is already resting at this time." It's not good for Madame to go. ”
Shen Miao groaned, and looked at Uncle Tang again: "Why is there no one at the gate of the mansion, it's so messy? There aren't many people looking at it, what's going on?"
Uncle Tang smiled ashamedly: "There have been too many accidents these days, and the old slave actually forgot to tell Mrs. about this." Although the master was saved now known to all Longye, and he also knew that the master was safe and sound in the end after a life-and-death moment, Mrs. Ji and Young Master Ji couldn't rest assured, and they had been living in the mansion for the past few days. The old slave also hid the whereabouts of their wife, and only said that the lady went to ask the doctor for help. But the person who saved the master's life can be regarded as the master's grace, and the old slave placed them in the house, and today the master woke up, and Mrs. Ji and they also went to see it. The benefactor is now sitting in the hall of the mansion, and Mrs. Ji and Young Master Ji are both in the hall, saying that they want to reward others. However, the benefactor is not a person who is greedy for power, and he didn't want to give them thousands of gold and silver before. ”
"Then what does he want?" Luo Tan asked, "Didn't you unveil the list? If it wasn't for the sake of getting something, why did you unveil the list again?"
Uncle Tang looked at Luo Tan and said with a smile: "The old slave is also puzzled, Mrs. Ji asked the benefactor, and the benefactor said that he happened to pass by that day, and happened to see this list, and remembered that the benefactor passed down a spiritual grass from his ancestors, which can cure all kinds of poisons." Thinking that this herb could save a person's life, he didn't think much about it, so he unveiled the list and came to our house. ”
Luo Tan shrugged: "That's a high wind and bright festival, I can't do this, what has been handed down from my ancestors, in the end, I have to weigh it carefully to save strangers who have never lived in my life...... It really takes courage. ”
Uncle Tang also smiled: "That's true." Then he looked at Shen Miao and said: "Mrs. Ji is also having a headache because of this, and the old slave can't make up her mind, but since Mrs. is back, it's good, Mrs. will come and see what she wants to give them." ”
"Since I'm a life-saver, I'll go see you first. Shen Miao lowered her eyes: "Are you in the main hall now?"
"Exactly. Uncle Tang said: "The old slave is about to go over, just right, Mrs. will also go over." ”
Shen Miao nodded, and Luo Tan hurriedly followed.
Along the way, Uncle Tang seemed to suddenly remember, and said: "Speaking of which, those two benefactors seem to have just arrived in Longye, and they are not very familiar with Longye, saying that they are here to find relatives, Mrs. Ji thought, in a few days, I will make a difference for the two of them, our prince's mansion can also contribute, if you can post some notices outside, it would be good." ”
"Two benefactors?" Shen Miao asked, "Why are there two?"
"It was a brother and sister
。 Uncle Tang said with a smile: "The age is about the same as that of Mrs., and the birth is also very outstanding." Mrs. Ji was warm-hearted, and she wanted to introduce some young talents and ladies to the pair of sisters and brothers. It looks very sensible, and when I came to our house for a few days, I got along well with the people in the house. ”
The subordinates of Prince Rui's Mansion are all trained by Xie Jingxing's Mo Yu Army, and some of them are not from the Mo Yu Army, and they are all firm-minded. Shen Miaolai has also watched in the Prince's Mansion these days, these people have their own rules and regulations, and it is difficult for Xie Jingxing to be such an unruly and casual person, but he has trained a group of subordinates who are almost masochistic to treat themselves harshly.
And it's good to get along with these people, but it's not something ordinary people can do. No matter how ancient and warm, there will be a basic vigilance and boundary between people, especially the people in Prince Rui's Mansion. I don't know if it's Shen Miao's intuition, but I always feel that this is not simple for the "benefactor".
Luo Tan was curious: "In this way, this pair of sisters and brothers are very good people." ”
"About. Uncle Tang said with a smile: "Anyway, if you can save the master's life, for the prince's mansion, you will be a guest for life." ”
As he was talking, he had already walked to the door of the main hall, and as soon as Fang stepped into the door, he saw Mrs. Ji and the third adult sitting in the center of the room. Lord Ji was talking to Mrs. Ji sideways, and when he saw Shen Miao following behind Uncle Tang, Mrs. Ji stood up with a "rub", walked forward quickly and said, "Jiao Niang, you are back!"
There were still some ladies in the hall, but they were people Shen Miao had never seen. Shen Miao looked at Mrs. Ji with some doubts, Mrs. Ji noticed her gaze, and said in a low voice: "These are the ladies who came to visit Jingxing...... It was hard to send them back during the day, so they had to sit here. ”
Shen Miao knew that Xie Jingxing's position in Longye was really delicate, and his life and death were related to the life and death and interests of many people in the court. And to see if he is really dead, those courtiers are not good to come forward, but they can let their wife come to see people in the name of comforting Mrs. Ji, comfort is famous, seeing that Xie Jingxing's injury is real. Xie Jingxing woke up this morning, and it is estimated that these ladies came to see the real and fake.
Mrs. Ji said, "Where have you been these days?" Steward Tang said that you went to find a doctor, but I couldn't find you, and I almost didn't even deal with these people. You're back. At the end of the sentence, he complained a little: "Jing Xing hasn't woken up yet, I know that you are anxious so go to the doctor, but no matter what, you should be by your husband's side." He woke up early this morning, and he was disappointed that he didn't look at you. You are not a lady of the official family now, but the princess of Prince Rui's mansion, do things and think about the cause and effect, many pairs of eyes are staring. ”
Although she didn't like it much, Shen Miao knew that Mrs. Ji was thinking about her. Besides, it is reasonable to be reasonable, it is Xie Jingxing who is related to Mrs. Ji instead of her Shen Miao, and before explaining the reason, her behavior of saying goodbye is indeed very excessive and unkind, so Shen Miao did not feel aggrieved by Mrs. Ji's accusations.
Mrs. Ji finished talking to Shen Miao in a low voice, but a woman in the hall looked at Shen Miao and said with a smile: "The princess can be calculated, we have come to visit the patient in the past few days, but we have not seen the princess." Thinking about whether the princess was heartbroken because His Royal Highness was sick in bed, so she closed the door, worried in her heart, and was afraid that something would happen, but now that the princess is fine, we are relieved. ”
These words are openly and secretly saying that Shen Miao, the princess of Rui, is really incompetent, as a princess, her husband is seriously injured in bed, and she doesn't even show her face, neither staying by the bedside, but also not coming out to meet guests, her whereabouts are treacherous, and she is really cold, heartless.
Mrs. Ji's face was a little unsightly, Shen Miao smiled slightly, and said to Mrs. Ji sideways: "The family is chaotic, and Mrs. Lao is worried." "The implication is that I don't have to worry about you, an outsider, about the affairs of my own house.
Shen Miao is always strong when he is strong, and he has to be soft when dealing with unfathomable people like Xie Jingxing, but he doesn't have to think too much about a woman who has no brains, so his words are extremely ironic
。 The lady was speechless.
But she turned to one side, but her appearance was clearly exposed in front of everyone, only to hear another lady exclaim: "Prince Rui, what's wrong with you? Why did your clothes get dirty, didn't you fall?" and then covered her nose violently, revealing an extremely uncomfortable look.
Mrs. Ji and Master Ji were stunned, Uncle Tang was also stunned, and everyone's eyes in the hall were all focused on Shen Miao, only to find that Shen Miao's clothes were covered with mud and dust, which was really dirty. And the smell that emanates from the whole body is like ...... But it smells like fertilizer.
Those ladies didn't like Prince Rui very much, a foreigner, but now that they had something to say, they immediately talked about it, saying that Shen Miao was anxious because she was acting badly, or suddenly fell or something.
Luo Tan was furious when she heard it behind her back, only she knew how Shen Miao's embarrassment came about, but Shen Miao warned her that she couldn't say anything about it.
Uncle Tang was a little surprised, when he saw Shen Miao, he was focused on business, but he ignored Shen Miao's appearance. And Shen Miao is always dignified and noble, and she dresses meticulously, how could she ever be so careless about her appearance now. Mrs. Ji's face was even more embarrassed, Shen Miao was her nephew and daughter-in-law, and saying that Shen Miao was not was tantamount to slapping her in the face.
In the whispering, Shen Miao's expression was the most indifferent, she didn't think there was anything wrong with it. These ladies were already xenophobic, and they never regarded her as their own, and for those who were picky, no matter how expensive she was dressed today, those people would not change their opinion of her in the slightest. Therefore, her embarrassed appearance fell in the eyes of everyone, and she didn't feel embarrassed.
After all, it will not be a relationship of sitting together and drinking tea in the future.
Mrs. Ji was about to say a few words to play a round, when she suddenly heard a man's laughter from the outer hall, and said: "Brother Li is really talented, I can't untie these nine links, but you can untie it in less than half a pillar of incense, except for my third brother, no one is faster than you." ”
It was Ji Yushu's voice.
Immediately afterwards, another voice sounded, it seemed to be a young man's voice, very clear, but it seemed to be a little hoarse, and together, it seemed a little special. The man said: "Brother Ji agreed, and he would never dare to compare with His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Shen Miao's heart moved, involuntarily, a heart suddenly clenched tightly, the clear and low voice was very familiar, but she couldn't remember who it was, but her soul trembled at this moment, she looked down at her hands, the sleeves were very long, only the fingertips were exposed, but the white and tender fingertips, which showed a few blood marks due to the busy night last night, were trembling violently at the moment.
The next moment, Ji Yushu's voice sounded: "Don't say that, when my third brother wakes up, I will definitely ask the two of you to have a try, the third brother likes smart people the most, if you go, the third brother will definitely appreciate it." ”
The curtain of the main hall was lifted, and two people walked out of it, Ji Yushu walked in front, and suddenly saw Shen Miao, he was stunned, and then regardless of the presence of the ladies, he stepped forward in three steps and two steps, and asked: "Sister-in-law!" and said in a low voice: "You are back! You are not here these days, and I asked Tie Yi and refused to tell me, where did you go?"
Shen Miao didn't answer his words, her eyes stared at the person who was walking behind Ji Yushu closely.
It was a young man, about the appearance of his early twenties, his facial features were very plain, and he was so plain that people felt that he could not see any characteristics, but he inexplicably attracted attention, just because he exuded a "smart man" atmosphere all over his body, he was wearing a rosin-colored robe, green cloth boots, and a pair of eyes like a summer sun, warm and slightly drunk, but with a faint fanaticism.
Shen Miao's body was crooked, and she almost fell, Luo Tan quickly helped her waist behind her, thinking that she was too tired the night before yesterday to support it at this moment
When Mrs. Ji saw her looking at the young man, she said, "This is one of the benefactors who saved Jingxing, Gongzi Li." ”
The young man saluted Shen Miao and said with a smile: "Under the ......"
"Li Ke!"
Shen Miao shouted thousands of times in her heart, she will never forget this name, and she will never forget these seemingly warm and innocent eyes! This courtier who has grown into Fu Xiuyi's right-hand man in just a few years, and can almost compete with Pei Lang, the biological brother of this lady of the frieze, Li Ke!
She never thought that after that long life had passed, she would be able to see the man in front of her again in this life, but in this strange land, in her mansion, in front of a room of people, Li Ke appeared in front of her so grandiosely.
Her face turned pale, and on the one hand, she was reminding herself that she couldn't make strange moves in front of these ladies, but on the other hand, she stared at Li Ke fiercely, eager to rush up and tear this person to pieces, drink his blood and eat his flesh!
Brother Mrs. Linai, the reason why she was so tragic in the end in her previous life was because of the defeat of this pair of sisters and brothers. Mrs. Lintel won Fu Xiuyi's sincerity, and Li Ke's chicken dog ascended to heaven and was promoted. After Li Ke saddled Fu Xiuyi's front horse, Mrs. Lintel's back was against the big tree to enjoy the shade, and she was even more favored. The two sisters and brothers relied on each other for their respective promotions, Mrs. Lintel wanted to marry Wanyu, Li Ke wanted to abolish the prince, Mrs. Lintel caused the Shen family's big house to be beheaded, but Li Ke had a deep friendship with Shen Gui and Shen Wan in the second and third rooms.
This evil fate, you can't escape it in your past life and this life! But Shen Miao never thought that it was here, he who regarded himself as Xie Jingxing's benefactor!
She suddenly remembered what Uncle Tang said, "That's a pair of sisters and brothers."
Shen Miao's fierce gaze made Mrs. Ji a little stunned for a moment, and she asked, "...... Jiao Niang"
"Aren't there two benefactors?" Shen Miao smiled slightly, slowly looked away, and there was a treachery in her tone that she didn't even notice herself, she said, "Where is the other one?"
"The maid poured tea on her, I asked her to change her clothes, there are a lot of clothes for the girl, there are no women's clothes in this house, it is not good to take the maid, so I took the clothes of the lady to deal with it. Mrs. Ji said.
As he was talking, he saw Ji Yushu looking out of the door and said, "It's here." ”
The woman has a hibiscus face, a willow waist, and looks like a top fairy. Dressed in a light shirt, he came slowly. The noon sun came in because she opened the curtain, and it became more and more beautiful that this girl was beautiful, she smiled lightly, dazzling, and in a trance, Shen Miao saw the brilliance before she died.
Shen Miao stood in the middle of the room, her clothes unkempt and embarrassed, her face pale, staring at the woman like a hungry wolf, like a fierce tiger, like a poisonous snake and beast lurking in her heart.
The man dressed in her clothes came to her mansion, saved her husband, and appeared before her with great might.
The old enemy in the previous life, the mortal enemy in this life, the evil fate is constantly sorted out and messy, and it has once again been pushed to the edge of fate.
"The frieze has seen the princess. The woman said.
Frieze Niang?
No, you're not a frieze, you're ...... The brainchild of Emperor Fu Xiuyi of Ming Qi, the mother of the new crown prince Fu Ming.
It's also my enemy, Mrs. Lintel.
