Chapter 116: I Exchange a Secret
Jiao Pheasant's words made Ji Jun fall into deep thought, the people behind it are for power?
If it is to fight for power and profit, since people are in the palace, wouldn't it be more beneficial to directly attack the emperor?
Since it is possible to drive Concubine Jiao Xian and let Concubine Jiao Xian poison the emperor's Gu, it is not impossible?
Ji Jun put down this question and asked again,
"And how did you get this portrait?"
Jiao Pheasant replied honestly,
"My father saw that it was hopeless to sneak into the Guochen Guogong Mansion and steal the "Blood Lan Zhu", so for the sake of him and my body, he went south alone and went to southern Xinjiang to find someone who could solve the Gu. But I heard my father say that after he arrived in southern Xinjiang, some ordinary Gu solving masters couldn't solve the Gu on his body, and some people didn't even know this "marrow eating Gu" on his father's body, and they couldn't solve it. ”
Ji Jun nodded secretly, indeed, Aunt Pan said that the Gu of the Suogu clan is mysterious and mysterious, that is, the role of many Gu is unimaginable to ordinary people.
However, it is okay to say that it is not mysterious, that is, if you know the ins and outs of a certain "Gu" very well, then even an ordinary person who can use Gu can figure out a rough idea if he slowly ponders it.
Of course, if it's a saint, a wizard, it's a different story.
Jiao Pheasant Liang sighed softly, with some sadness in his eyes,
"Later, a man told Daddy that the holy daughter of the Sogu tribe could cure this poison. It's just that the rules of the Sogu tribe are strict, and it is impossible for an ordinary stranger to approach the Holy Maiden. Later, my father met a kind master, he was a native of the Central Plains, who had been exiled to southern Xinjiang due to changes in the clan, and became a monk in a temple here, living in seclusion here. He sympathized with his father's plight, and pointed out that he had seen a saint, saying that this saint was not only excellent in Gu magic, but also had superb medical skills, and was said to be the most qualified saint in more than a hundred years! ”
A smile of honor appeared on Ji Yun's face, he couldn't imagine that his mother was so powerful! Isn't it a school bully among saints?
Jiao Pheasant Liang continued,
At the same time, this holy woman is kind-hearted, and she doesn't often deal with affairs in the clan, she is willing to travel around. Then maybe by chance, Daddy can find this saint on the way back to the Central Plains. So the master described the face of the holy woman. Daddy is good at danqing, and he depicted the saint according to the master's description. I saw the sister of the Ji family, so smart and clever, I thought that she had some relationship with the saint in the painting, so I came to ask for it. ”
When Ji Yun saw Jiao Pheasant Liang talking, his expression was open, his eyes were calm, and he did not move around, and he had already believed seven or eight points in his heart.
After Jiao Pheasant Liang finished speaking, Ji Yan had no expression and said coolly,
"Miss Jiao Er, I think you have found the wrong person. Since you know so many things about Concubine Xian, you must also know that Concubine Xian Niangniang is very dislike the two of us, and has embarrassed my sisters more than once in various ways, you are her niece, you are related by blood, she still doesn't save her, what reason do we have to save a niece who is close to the enemy? ”
Ji Xi got up and made the meaning of sending off the guest, saying,
"We sympathize with your plight, sympathize with your father's plight, but there are too many people worthy of sympathy, not to mention that we don't have the ability to save you now, even if we do, whether we will help or not, I'm afraid it is debatable."
When Jiao Pheasant Liang heard this, he didn't argue, nor pleaded, and two lines of tears rolled down.
She was not surprised by this result.
Jiao Pheasant Liang slowly knelt down on his knees, and Ji Jun hurriedly stepped forward to support him!
Regardless of whether he saves it or not, Ji Jun doesn't like the other party to do this to him.
In Ji Yun's heart, if the other party knows how to repay the favor, he will try his best to exchange it with himself.
If you are ungrateful, you will not be able to make up for the disappointment and hurt even if you are on your knees!
Jiao Pheasant Liang wept,
"Two sisters of the Ji family, I know that my aunt has done many, many things to hurt you. I also know that I have come to you rashly, it is indeed very abrupt, I am willing to exchange a secret, what do you think? ”
Jiao Pheasant Liang took a step forward, approached Ji Yun and Ji Chen, and said a few words in a low voice.
Ji Jun and Ji Xun were shocked when they heard this!
Ji Chen stumbled, sat heavily on the chair, and unconsciously swept over the teacup with his arm, and the teacup fell to the ground with a crisp sound!
Li Mi and Zhou Huan next door didn't know what Jiao Pheasant Liang said at the moment, they only heard the sound of a teacup breaking in the room, worried that the two sisters would be injured, and they were about to rush over to see what was going on.
Just listen to Ji Yun's loud voice,
"Begonia, come in and clean up! I accidentally hit the teacup on the ground! ”
Li Mi and Zhou Huan stopped!
After Ji Jun waited for Begonia to pack up the pieces of the teacup and go out, she stroked Ji Chen's shoulder with her hand, feeling the trembling of Ji Chen's body, she pressed it a little harder, looked at Jiao Pheasant Liang and asked,
"So, is it true that your father took this portrait and asked everywhere and looked for it? Or is it that people all over the world have copied many of these portraits and cast a net to find them? ”
Ji Jun came from the 21st century and is not averse to "portrait searching". Especially when people are here to save lives.
However, in the context of this era, it is still necessary to pay attention to it.
But what Ji Jun cares about is, why, she doesn't know anything about someone looking for her mother with a portrait of her mother?
Jiao Pheasant Liang shook his head again and again,
"No, no, no, where would Daddy be so reckless! Wouldn't this damage the reputation of other girls? When the master told his father about this holy woman, he gave him two pills, saying that after his father took it, he would be able to sense the existence of this holy woman within tens of meters. Because this pill was given to this master by the saint back then! After taking the pill, the Gu worms in the body will echo with the Gu worms in the Holy Maiden's body. Because I was also poisonous, my father gave me this pill as well. When I saw Miss Ji just now, I had a throbbing feeling in my body that I had never felt before, and I knew that Miss Ji was a person who was closely related to the person in the painting, even if she was not the person I was looking for! ”
Ji Jun remembered that Aunt Pan had mentioned the "pill" of her mother's relatives, but in fact, it was a kind of "Gu" that could be nourished with her mother's blood.
It is said that this stunt of the mother is said to have come to the Sogu clan many years ago by a master from the Valley of Kammeng, who is good at "Zhu Yujutsu". But he was extremely interested in the ancient "Gu".
At that time, the saint also longed for the master's "blessing technique".
The two suddenly had a whim, wanting to combine "Zhu Youshu" and "Gu".
But these two peerless wizards have been studying for several years, and there is always a pass that they can't get over!
The two of them are almost crazy!
It just so happened that at this time, the descendants of the Strange Medicine Ridge also came to the Sogu clan. Seeing that the two of them were distressed by this, so, curiosity, also joined the ranks.
The three of them worked together to finally develop this "Gu technique" that integrates "medicine", "Gu" and "Zhu Youshu"!
However, the requirements for the configuration and use of this "Gu Technique" are very high, so there are very few people who can inherit this "Gu Technique" well!
Ji Yun's mother-in-law is counted as one.
Ji Jun thought about it, and raised his voice to the door,
"Begonia, let the peony prepare a woman's nourishing blood tea for Miss Jiao Er."
I only heard someone outside the door answer softly,
"Yes, Miss!"
After a while, there was a gentle knock on the door.
After Haitang walked in and saluted the three of them, he asked Ji Yundao,
"Miss, let me ask you if the amount of ejiao and jujube is in the same proportion as before, or is it re-re-re-blended. In addition, she didn't know how much honey should be added. Please show me so. ”
Ji Jun frowned and said,
"Don't you see that I have a guest here? This is also to be asked? Isn't it the same as the previous ingredient? ”
Begonia also frowned and said,
"The purity of this ejiao is better than the previous one, and there is also deer antler, deer antler is not the tip of the antlers, it is the root, and the quality is better, as for the ginseng, this time it uses red ginseng, so the color of the blend is darker than before. Peony didn't know what to do, and asked the eldest lady to give advice. ”
Ji Jun said a little impatiently,
"Alright then, I'll take a look."
Then Ji Yun smiled apologetically at Jiao Pheasant,
"Second Miss, please wait a moment."
Jiao Pheasant Liang hurriedly said that it was okay, it didn't matter.
Less than half a cup of tea, I only heard the sound of Ji Jun arguing with a maid at the door.
I just listened to the maid's dissatisfaction,
"Miss, this time, such a tonic tea will be sold for more than a dozen taels of silver, but you let Concubine Jiao Xian's niece drink it for nothing, aren't we losing a lot of money?"
I only heard Ji Jun say in a low voice,
"How do you have money in your eyes! Peony! Don't just think about the economy, think about the long-term benefits! If you think about it, she hasn't been to our "good neighbor" before, and she hasn't tasted the various teas we have introduced before. In this way, the first time she drank this tonic tea, the evaluation she gave would be relatively more public, and we will adjust it according to the advice she gave, and we will earn more money in the future! It's just that she tastes it for free! If we invite someone to try it, don't we also have to give people some remuneration or discounts? In this way, I just used the money from this tea to pay for the tasting! ”
Just listen to the peony like a pout,
"Well, miss, it makes sense for you to say that, but although such a cup of tea is not sold for money, I still have to mention the dowry money!"
Ji Yun said helplessly,
"Okay, okay, you little girl in the eye of money, I obeyed you! This tea is what I invited to drink! Your dowry commission will not be less than a penny! ”
In the room, Jiao Pheasant Liang heard that there were so many precious things in this tea, and he was very happy and very happy.
Ji Xi had regained his composure at this moment, and explained with an embarrassed smile at Jiao Pheasant,
"Sister Jiao, don't mind! This maid and my cousin have grown up since childhood, and their feelings are different, and they are also sisters between their master and servant. Sometimes it's not very tactful. Peony has no other meaning, just to say that this tea, may be due to the heavy ingredients, it may be slightly uncomfortable in taste, you have to be mentally prepared. ”
Jiao Pheasant said in a cool heart, there are so many good things in it, not to mention honey and ejiao, deer antler velvet and ginseng, even if it is too bitter to be bitter, I have to drink it!
What kind of Rausch opinion do you have to make! Such a good thing, it must be a big praise!
Ji Xi saw Jiao Pheasant's eyes burning, knowing that the words of her cousin and Peony had caused waves in her heart.
It's just that no matter how big the waves are, it's not as good as the secret that Jiao Pheasant Liang just told himself!
My grandfather and uncle were poisoned!
