Chapter 178: As long as everyone is happy, the deal is easy
Chen Zhuoxin heard that the sisters of the Ji family "snatched" Hong Peiju's niece Bao Qi, who was going to be given to Concubine Jiao Xian's uncle as a step-room, and Hong Peiju was angry!
When Chen Zhuoxin heard this, he smiled lightly, which is not surprising, the little girl is just the age of being high-spirited and yearning for "chivalry and righteousness". As soon as the mind is hot, I will take action!
Next, Chen Zhuoxin couldn't laugh!
Yin Hong told him that the sisters of the Ji family had the news of "Blood Lanzhu".
"Then why don't you snatch the one named Bao Qi?" Chen Zhuoxin's eyebrows and eyes were cold, and he was a little impetuous.
Once, the "Blood Bead" was close to him, but the "Blood Bead" was like a "gust of wind" slipping through his hand, and he could no longer get it!
Yin Hong was shocked, knelt on one knee,
"Grandpa Guo forgives sins! His subordinates sent three batches of masters to the Hou Mansion, but they didn't succeed! β
"Why?" Chen Zhuoxin's brows furrowed even tighter, like a door lock that could not be unscrewed.
Yin Hong didn't dare to get up, and replied cautiously with his head down,
"The Liguo Mansion and the two princes have sent people near the Hou Mansion and Dangui Yuan."
"Huh, so what? Could it be that the master of our government is a waste? If you can't catch Bao Qi and catch the people next to you in Dangui Garden, there is always a little room for bargaining, right? β
Yin Hong was even more panicked, and explained carefully word by word,
"Some of the masters of our Guogong Mansion are people from the rivers and lakes, and some are warriors from Beiliao, who are not worse than them, but-"
Yin Hong wanted to speak and stopped.
"Go on!" Chen Zhuoxin was a little dissatisfied.
Yin Hong said busily,
"The girl of the Ji family is very cunning, and has ambushed many wild dogs inside and outside the house, these dogs are very sensitive to smells and are very alert to danger. The girl of the Ji family sprinkled a kind of medicinal powder on the masters sent by Li Mi and Shizi, and these dogs were safe with them. And our people, as long as they have been to the Hou Mansion once, if they go again for the second time, they will be recognized by the dog from a distance, and then they will be solved by Li Mi's people! β
"What if you send a different person every time?" Chen Zhuoxin's brows did not stretch, but his expression eased a little, and he raised his hand lightly and motioned for Yin Hong to get up.
Yin Hong hurriedly stood up, with shame and resentment on his face,
"Even if it's the first time you go to the Hou Mansion, because the smell is completely different, you will be discovered by the dog, and the fight is inevitable, although you can get out of the house, but it is basically impossible to go into the mansion to rob people."
A hint of playfulness flashed in Chen Zhuoxin's eyes, and for a while, Chen Zhuoxin seemed to be talking to himself, and seemed to be discussing with Yin Hong,
"If the people from the Hou Mansion make a move, wouldn't it be more convenient?"
The dog must be familiar with the breath of the Houfu people.
In the Dangui Garden, peony and bamboo leaves and others began to grind the medicine powder again and make medicine bags.
Bao Qi knew that this was also helping herself, so she also did needlework with Begonia.
Begonia asked a little worriedly,
"Miss, the people of our Danguiyuan always have to go in and out, and contact with the people of the Hou Mansion is inevitable, if Chen Guogong buys off the people of our Hou Mansion, won't we be able to prevent it?"
Ji Jun pretended to stroke his non-existent beard,
"Don't worry, the mountain people have their own tricks!"
Mai Dong was pounding with a medicine pestle, and when he heard this, he asked curiously,
"Miss, what a clever plan! Tell me about it? You're keeping it a secret from us, huh? β
Peony stretched a lazy waist and said,
"Nothing! Actuallyβ"
"Peony! If you say more, I won't let you eat!" Ji Jun hurriedly stopped!
Peony suddenly clevered, immediately covered her mouth with her hand, and shook her head desperately at Mai Dong!
Although Mai Dong knew that Ji Yun must have his own intentions, he said a little unhappily on his face,
"It seems that there are still distant relatives in Miss!"
Ji Chen pursed his lips and smiled,
"Mai Dong is still jealous?"
Then, he walked to Mai Dong's side and whispered a few words in his ear, Mai Dong listened, his eyes became bigger and bigger, and then, like a peony, he covered his mouth tightly!
In Fuyuan Palace, Concubine Jiao Xian was a little dissatisfied and asked the fifth prince,
"Why do you speak up for the North? If you offended Chen Guogong for this matter, wouldn't the gains outweigh the losses? β
The five princes bowed their heads respectfully and said,
"Mother, the weather in the north is cold, and most of the lifters are poor, although they are not short of clothes and less clothing, but they are often hungry and cold, and many of them study in difficult and unusual conditions, where the winter is long, and it is already dark after the Shen time. In order to study hard, I had to read by candle fire in winter, and the night was cold and windy, especially cold after the sun, many people were not enough charcoal, and the family was poor and did not dare to bake the fire to the fullest, and at the same time, there were not too many clothes that were enough to keep warm and cold, resulting in sores on the hands and feet of many students, and many people suffered from rheumatism, asthma and other diseases. Even in the heat of summer, they still have to wear very thick clothes, and the slightest breeze will make their bodies feel unbearable pain. The children saw that it was not easy for them to study, and they were very unbearable. β
Concubine Jiao Xian snorted coldly,
"What does it matter to you whether these people live or die! You are good to be your prince! Cause less trouble! What good do you do to sympathize with them? Don't you know that there is something hateful about the wretched? If they are poor, don't study, don't have unrealistic fantasies! Honestly farming in his hometown, marrying a wife and having children, why not? β
The hand of the fifth prince was tightly grasped and released in his sleeve, released and held, the evil feeling in his heart surged for a while, he tried to suppress the hatred in his heart, his tone was still calm, respectful and obedient, and said slowly,
"Mother Concubine! The child's inconsiderate thought made the mother worried. The child thinks that the students in the north may not be as good as the students in Jiangnan in terms of learning, after all, the students in Jiangnan have enough books, famous teachers, and talents have been produced for decades. However, under such difficult conditions, the students in the north can persist in studying, and this spirit of hardship and tenacity for the country and the people is also the foundation of my great Zhou Xingguo. After the child told his father about these thoughts, his father was also deeply touched and felt that I had such a student in Da Zhou, who worked hard and devoted himself to studying for the imperial court. And indeed it should be properly rewarded! But the father did not say that he would deliberately elevate the northern and southern sons. β
"What? Your words were approved by your father? β
The other words, Concubine Jiao Xian's left ear went in and out of the right ear, but this sentence shocked Concubine Jiao Xian's spirit!
A trace of ridicule slipped through the eyes of the five princes, and they were still modest,
"Yes, the father praised the child for having a benevolent heart, and devoted himself to the people of my Great Zhou, for the sake of my Great Zhou's country, and praised the child for having no selfishness, thinking about everything, and rewarding the child with many rare things, and the child chose a few particularly rare ones to give to the mother concubine, and some gadgets for the thirteenth brother. The child also asked the mother to show the other brothers, does the child also give some gifts? β
Concubine Jiao Xian heard that the emperor had a word of praise for the five princes, and immediately smiled.
"Oh, it turns out that the emperor has received the praise of the saint! Then you must listen to your father! Don't worry about those brothers of yours, you send them to others, and they think you're showing off! You, always like this, thinking about this and that, who cares about you? It's not that the mother concubine and your thirteenth brother are worried about you! β
The fifth prince showed a look of gratitude that was just right.
After Ji Xun finished taking Ji Yun's concocted medicine, he resolutely said to Ji Yun,
"Cousin, you go out and hide for a while, otherwise even if you are here, I won't take your medicine anymore, I'd rather not be cured than drag you down, at least one of the two of us must be able to get out of danger, so that there is a glimmer of life!" You should at least go to the outskirts and take shelter! β
Ji Jun can't, firstly, in order to stabilize Ji Chen, and secondly, he is also thinking about what to do next.
So Ji Jun pretended to pack her bags and prepare to flee with Peony, but at the same time, she asked Li Mi and others to pay close attention to the news of Chen Guogong's mansion. Also, the movement on Concubine Jiao Xian's side.
Before Ji Yun could wait for the news to come back, Mei Lin came to find Ji Jun.
Meilin gets straight to the point,
"Are you going to run away?"
Ji Jun looked at Meilin with a confident look, and he didn't shy away from it,
"Legs are on me, I can walk if I want! You have to say runaway, that's running! β
Mei Lin smiled slightly and said,
"I know why you ran away, but I can assure you that Shen Ying will be absolutely foolproof if she marries Bao Qi instead of Bao Qi, but you must promise me one thing. You'll have to give me a vial of your and Ji Chen's blood. β
Ji Jun looked at Meilin like a fool,
"You married Shen Ying to Concubine Jiao Xian's uncle, what does it have to do with me? Why should I give you blood? β
Mei Lin took a good time to support the headdress, Shi Shiran sat down and said,
"Of course, because I have a handle in my hand that can handle you!"
Ji Yun said in his heart, this is not an adult, and he has begun to fool people! I can't help but be curious,
"What's the handle? Tell me about it? β
Merlin smiled,
"Treasure!"
Ji Jun sneered softly,
"Bao Qi is your sister, although it is not your kiss, but at least it is your cousin, you can hold me?"
Mei Lin showed a bright smile taught by a palace grandmother again,
"How about I exchange my life with you? Bao Qi is poisoned, you give me the blood, and I will help her detoxify! β
Ji Yun said coldly,
"How can I believe that you can cure the poison of Bao Qi?"
"It's simple." Mei Lin looked at Ji Jun with a calm gaze,
"Daddy poisoned Bao Qi, you can look at her back, and her knees. All of them now have a bowl-sized red scar, but after using the antidote, this red scar will gradually shrink until it disappears. You can't cure this poison, although I can't do anything about you, but I decide whether Bao Qi lives or dies, and I know that Bao Qi is useful to you now, and the "Blood Lan Pearl" is useless to me, I don't care at all. β
Ji Jun suddenly smiled, she raised her eyes to look at Mei Lin, her beautiful eyes were full of banter,
"Sister Meilin is really good at laughing! Hong Peiju will easily give you an antidote? If that's the case, wouldn't it be easier for me to directly exchange blood with Hong Peiju? β
Merlin was neither surprised nor distressed, but laughed self-deprecatingly,
"My sister has a point in saying that! In this way, I have one more condition here, you come with your ears. β
"Miss, don't go over! There is fraud! Miss Merlin, tell me if you want to say it! β
Peony jumped over with an arrow step and blocked in front of Ji Yun.
Mei Lin was stunned for a moment, and actually leaned into Peony's ear and whispered a few words.
Peony's eyes suddenly turned into copper bells, she covered her mouth with both hands, slowly turned to look at Ji Jun, thought about it, and nodded vigorously!
Mei Lin showed a smile that was in her hands, and said to Ji Yun and Ji Chen,
"Two sisters, you see, as long as they are happy, the deal is very easy!"
