Chapter 101: The Punishment of the Silkworm God (Part II)

Zheng Haizhu saw that the Shen family deigned to sell Guanzi, so she also cooperated with her, and immediately brewed a panicked look and said: "What do you mean by what grandma said?" ”

Shen looked at Mrs. Miao, who sat on the circle chair next to the couch and said, "Girl, when my eldest daughter-in-law and I came to look for you, we were stopped by several silkworm households, saying that the mulberry leaves in their bamboo foil were displayed, and on each leaf, there were four words, and the words of different people were different. ”

After Mrs. Miao finished speaking, she asked Lang Zhong of the medical hall for a pen and paper, wrote a few lines, and showed them to a few young people.

But see a total of 16 words on the paper: "Two o'clock chickens, a line of geese, the east capital and the west, the ancestors surrendered"

Zheng Haizhu just heard what mulberry leaves show the word, so he muttered, I don't know what kind of feudal superstitious activities the ancients loved, just because he thought that Lu Xiangsheng also used feudal superstitious activities to fool Songjiang, and he didn't want the eldest brother to say the second brother, so he cooperated into the state of "willing to hear the details".

At this moment, I know the meaning of the last four words, what do those three sentences mean?

Han Ximeng has been obsessed with Danqing embroidery and serious poetry since he was a child, and he is not interested in these proverbs and other things, and he is also at a loss.

Lu Xiangsheng, who is an all-round scholar and martial artist, understood it, and frowned: "It's an anagram, guess the surnames of hundreds of families." The chicken is the same as the unitary, and the goose array is like the "big" character type, so the two-point chicken, a line of goose array, is a "lay" word. And the east is the west, the left is west, the right is east, and the right and left sides of the words 'capital' and '陲' are all next to the ear. Therefore, these three sentences are combined with the word 'Zheng'. ”

Zheng Haizhu opened her mouth, surprised, and said, "So, it's me?" ”

After she woke up today, although she was full of suspicions, guessing that the wicked people she had offended in the past would take revenge, but after thinking about it, isn't it easy to hire a murderer, she often comes out and walks around, and the murderer can find an opportunity to stab a few knives and escape, why bother to play this big drama of chaos and monsters, and have to burn yourself into a fragrant roasted silkworm chrysalis in front of everyone?

Now it seems that there is really going to be a play, and there are several episodes, this exterior and interior scenes, proverbial anagrams, and a considerable number of extras, big production, hehe.

Miao's tone was still calm: "The silkworm households came to ask me, this Zheng character can refer to Azhu." I immediately explained to them that the ceremony of worshiping the silkworm Niangniang was an expense covered by our Gu family, and Ah Zhu was the main guide of Ma Tou Niang, and it was also the old woman I took the initiative to find her to settle. The ancestors of the Gu family, Jiajing Ye had a hundred acres of mulberry garden, and now he is still doing the trade of raw silk and embroidery, although he has always treated tenant farmers well and operated in good faith, but for a long time, he may not be hated by the villain. This matter should have nothing to do with Miss Zheng, the villains are at most aimed at our Gu family, if it is the old woman and me who are standing on the ox cart today, I am afraid that the anagram that comes out of the mulberry leaves is what 'the wind sweeps the red, and the knotweed has no clue' or something. ”

Red has no work, knotweed has no head, and it is a "Miao" word when put together.

At the end of Miao's words, she pursed her lips and smiled, and her gentle tone at first gradually revealed sarcasm and disdain.

Han Ximeng picked up without hesitation: "Ah Tai is really right. Azhu, a foreigner, not only did she do her best to me and the Han government after coming to Songjiang, but also did her best to do good to the outside world. Besides, there have been many gods and ghosts, but they are just small people pretending to be ghosts. Today's parade of floats, silkworm households even swaddling children have come out to see the excitement, the wicked take advantage of the fact that there is no one in their house, put a few mulberry leaves in the bamboo foil, what is the difficulty. ”

Lu Xiangsheng on the side, seeing that the old lady of the Gu family and the eldest lady of the Han family were so clear-minded, he also considered the proportions of his words, and said respectfully to Mrs. Miao: "Old lady Gu, the younger generation took the liberty to ask, which shop built the white horse in the watch lake?" ”

Miao's eyes lit up: "Does Master Lu want to explore?" That's great, my wife likes to see how hard you young people are. Eldest daughter-in-law ......"

Shen, who seemed to be a little distracted, listened to the call and said busily: "Mom, the silk horse and silk flowers are all made by the shop chosen by Steward Xie, and I will ask Steward Xie when I go home." ”

A gesture of clearing himself.

Seeing that her daughter-in-law couldn't say which white horse to make, Miao Atai was not embarrassed, and nodded and said: "A large family of hundreds of people is enough for you to be busy on weekdays, and you shouldn't be in charge of this matter personally." ”

The old man turned his head and wandered the room, quickly catching the robe in the corner.

It is the cloak that Zheng Haizhu is wearing today.

She pointed to the cloak, "Bring it to me and see." ”

Zheng Shoukuan hurriedly went to pick it up.

The cloak that had been gray had turned into a large pale yellow with mottled burnt black.

Miao Atai greeted Lu Xiangsheng: "Master Lu, I heard that you are intensively researching firearms, can you see what this is made of?" ”

Lu Xiangsheng picked it up and looked at it carefully, shook his head honestly, and said that he didn't know.

Zheng Haizhu has already realized: "Ah Tai, isn't that a fire rag?" ”

Miao Ah Tai read a Buddha, and said with a gentle smile: "You know a lot about this girl, this robe has been some years, it was originally when I was still serving Niangniang in the palace, the strange objects sent by the Suwang Mansion in Lanzhou were said to be blended with the fire cloth and lamb's wool offered by the small vassal country in the west. King Su didn't dare to use it for his own use, dozens of pieces were sent to the palace, and I was fortunate to have one. This is a tribute, I don't wear it well, this time it's a sacrifice to the gods, and it's almost the same color as the silkworm, so I took it out for you to make a line. ”

Fire ragon cloth is asbestos. Asbestos itself is non-toxic, but after being woven into fabrics, the extremely fine fibers are easily inhaled into the lungs and block the alveoli, which is about the same as PM2.5, and people should not have long-term close contact. Therefore, asbestos is used as a fireproof material, and it must be sealed.

But how did the ancients understand this, it should be a precious thing, and make clothes for the royal relatives to wear. Fortunately, the productivity is low, it is difficult to extract asbestos, and it is even more difficult to weave clothes, otherwise, I am afraid that after the war, the senior generals of the Ming army will also use asbestos to make battle robes.

Zheng Haizhu would never export popular science on such an occasion, and only said with joy and gratitude on his face: "Fang Cai Azhu has thanked Lu Gongzi for his emergency wisdom in danger and saved my life. Now I know that the first person to help me hold back the flames was Ah Tai's robe. ”

Miao Atai waved her hand, looked at everyone in the room, and said in a harmonious voice: "It's hot, I hesitated when I took the robe, I was afraid that Ah Zhu would be depressed, and I still didn't change it to Qingluo." And his own people like Lu Gongzi also happen to be close to the left. That's why I want to say, this is really God's eyes, protect Azhu. ”

After she spoke, she carefully asked Zheng Haizhu's injury to Lang Zhong of the medical hall who was standing with her hands up, and instructed her personal maid Zhuxiang to settle the medical resources, and then got up and said: "Seeing that the girl is fine, my grandmother and I will not bother you." When I went back, I asked Zhuxiang to send some decoction to the Han Mansion to nourish the smoke and throat, which were all good recipes that I wrote down when I was in the palace. ”

The old man thought about it for a moment, pursed his lips again, and the corners of his eyes narrowed, as if there was a story in every wrinkle.

"There are some situations that have been the same since the dawn of time, and it is no harm for me, a dead man, to sigh with you children. If you want to say that pretending to be a ghost, stealing and deceitful, hehe, these withered insects outside, the people who came out of our palace really don't look down on it. ”

……

Zheng Haizhu held a forehead like a baogong, and when she returned to the Han Mansion, Yang, the daughter-in-law of the third room, rarely appeared under the porch of the front hall.

"Hey, the big red people in our Han Mansion are really red, yo, they are all so red and black. This is good, Zhu girl, even if you put down the bun combed up again, and put the words "waiting for the price and selling" in the center of your head, I am afraid that the big duke of the weaving bureau and the Zhang family of Shaoxing will not look down on you. ”

The girl and the mother-in-law in the courtyard knew that the third grandmother's sanity was getting worse day by day, and she would not leave the door of her own courtyard during the New Year, but last month I heard that Miss Azhu had returned home from the south, so she rushed out and crackled and scolded a few words.

After that, from the second grandfather and the second grandmother, to the housekeeper Lao Peng, they all gave an explanation to the house, after all, the Yang family is the wife of the third master, she does not go out by separating the family, and the subordinates of the Han Mansion have to treat her as the third grandmother, since Miss Zheng doesn't care, if you see her crazy, let her toss, take care of the kitchen guys, beware of her not to hurt Miss Zheng, after the Dragon Boat Festival, Miss Zheng will go to Gufu with the eldest lady.

The people observed for a while, and found that this grandmother was actually not completely crazy, the food and clothing of the third room, the monthly silver, stared closely, and there was no situation of lifting a knife to cut the enemy, thinking that he was still a person who regarded wealth as his life, and understood that if he hurt Miss Zheng, he would be imprisoned in a lawsuit, not to mention the share of property in the third room, I was afraid that the only daughter Han Xiying would suffer a loss if she fought for it.

At this time, everyone saw that the Yang family was unarmed and just bombarded fiercely, so they stood scattered and watched, letting this master be embarrassed to his heart's content.

Zheng Haizhu also stopped to look at her, but this time it was not the mentality of looking at the mad dog, but concentrating, listening to every word of her words.

Secretly smacked and touched, there were no clues, and then he looked at Han Ximeng.

Han Ximeng slanted at the third aunt, shook his head, and led the Zheng aunt and nephew back to his courtyard.

After entering the house, Han Ximeng spoke first: "Looking at her stupid appearance, I can't think of such a big scene." ”

Zheng Haizhu wrapped gauze in her palms, took a sip of the hot tea fed by her nephew, and said thoughtfully: "Actually, Miss, when I was in the south, I was always worried about you, don't forget, last year, we were robbed for no reason and almost humiliated, but it hasn't been broken yet." ”
