Chapter 148: Cleaning up the rats
Ming Lanying thought that Zhao Lao had practiced medicine and saved people all his life, and he couldn't look down on those poisons that harmed people, but he didn't expect that he would still have treasures.
Dong Xia told her some of the poisons she was familiar with in Zhao Lao one by one, Ming Lanying was stunned when she heard it, and soon her left ear went in and out of her right ear.
Shaking his head helplessly, "I really only read some easy-to-understand numbers." ”
"It's okay if my sister-in-law doesn't understand, Ning'er understands!" Dong Xia said with a smile: "Grandfather said that Ning'er will definitely be a genius who is both cured and poisoned in the future." ”
Ming Lanying was a little surprised, but also a little proud of Rong Youyan, "Oops! Ning'er is so amazing? Worthy of my son! ”
"That's right! Ning Er not only inherited the good looks of her sister-in-law and Brother Ye, but she is also smart and studious, and she is talented! ”
Ming Lanying coughed twice, "Okay, okay, it's enough to praise it, and if you praise it again, I'll float." ”
Dongxia smiled and snuggled up to her, looking at her somewhat swollen hands with some worry, worried that she would become fat and ugly.
"Sister-in-law, have I become fat, have I become ugly? After pregnancy, it seems that my appearance changes easily, and it is easy to become fat or edema, and I may even grow a beard......"
Ming Lanying held her little face and looked left and right, apricot eyes and peach cheeks, ruddy complexion, and the yellow muscle and thin appearance from the front were gone, a standard delicate beauty.
"I'm not fat! It's not ugly, huh...... As always, handsome and pretty! The baby in the belly is sure to be a cute child! ”
Ming Lanying saw that she was a little anxious during pregnancy, some people would become sensitive and thoughtful when they were pregnant, and Dong Xia would have some medical skills herself, and the defects after pregnancy were clearer than others knew, so she should still be a little uneasy in her heart.
She has never experienced giving birth to a child, Ning'er was born to the original owner before she came, and the anxiety, insecurity and pain are all borne by the original owner, she can only make up for the love that the original owner does not have.
But she had seen the twisted and painful life of the queen mother when she gave birth to the prince, which left a deep shadow on her.
Every mother is great, from pregnancy to childbirth, she needs the love and recognition of those around her.
She didn't experience the pain and anxiety between pregnancy and childbirth, and she didn't know how to comfort Dongxia.
Ming Lanying hugged Dongxia and patted her back gently, "Relax, you still have the grandfather with the most powerful medical skills, and you also have a sister-in-law who can collect the treasures of the world, and any long-lost beauty cream and pill can be made for you!" It won't be ugly, and it can still give you a beautiful raising! ”
Dong Xia was moved into her arms, "Sister-in-law! It's good to have you! I'm going to give you a son! ”
Ming Lanying sneered, and then laughed so much that her body was shaking, "Okay! When I turned around, I said to Meng Huaisu, the child in your belly is mine! ”
Dongxia was also happy, "Then leave him alone!" ”
Outside, it was windy and snowy, and it was too cold, and the earth dragon was burning inside the house, warm as spring.
It's been a long time since I've been out of the house, and my legs are so swollen that I can't put on my shoes, but I can't keep moving.
Aunt Meng was worried that she was stuffy in the house, so she spent a lot of money to buy a plush carpet made of soft fur from the merchant, and spread it all over the house in a proud manner, and Meng Huaisu also made a lot of toys for her to relieve her boredom.
Ming Lanying walked around the house with Dong Xia in tow, and saw that she could only walk around the house in white socks, and the plush carpet under her feet reminded her of a plush slipper that was necessary for winter.
It is inclusive, and it can be made very soft, and pregnant women with swollen feet during pregnancy can also walk in it.
When he returned, he had people find plush cloth and cotton from the storeroom, and went to the poultry nest behind the kitchen to borrow some goose feathers, and discussed with the geese for a long time, and took away a bag of goose feathers before the geese were about to go crazy.
After drawing drawings and explaining to the maid for a long time, I finally made a pair of soft half-pack plush slippers.
Mama Cai looked at the strange shoes suspiciously, "Princess, is this also a clog?" ”
"Clogs?" Ming Lanying was stunned for a moment, looked at the plush slippers in her hand and suddenly realized, "Ah yes, that's right, but this one is softer and more comfortable, and it is also suitable for winter and summer to wear it now and walk two steps in the house." ”
Mama Cai pinched the soft cotton shoes, the shoes were very soft, the inside was processed goose feathers and cotton, and the outside was wrapped with a layer of soft fur, which was comfortable and soft.
"The princess is delicate and has ingenious ideas, and Meng Niangzi must be very happy to receive it."
"Hey, hey! There are still extra materials, make a pair for Ning'er. ”
"Yes."
Ming Lanying was about to ask someone to send something to Dong Xia, but Meng Huaisu happened to come over, ready to take Zhao Lao back to diagnose Dong Xia's pulse.
Ming Lanying simply gave him the things directly, just so that he could bring them back.
Meng Huaisu pinched the cloth bag suspiciously, "What is this?" ”
Ming Lanying thought for a moment, "Cotton clogs? Ah! It's cotton shoes, you can't wear shoes in winter and summer, just wear this, and you can go out and walk two steps. ”
Meng Huaisu hurriedly saluted and thanked him, "Thank you, princess, Xia Guan is just looking for this!" ”
Ming Lanying saw that the wind was blowing stronger and stronger, and the clouds were jagged and low, as if another wind and snow were brewing, and hurriedly rushed the two to the sedan chair.
"Hurry back, I guess it's going to snow heavily again in a while, and it's not too late for Zhao Lao to wait for the snow to stop and come back."
Zhao Lao walked steadily with the medicine box on his back, "Okay, it's windy outside, you go in quickly, don't wait for Ah Lu to come back, you will fall ill with the wind and cold again, and then you will blame me, an old man, for not taking a good look at you!" ”
Ming Lanying couldn't cry or laugh, and saw the two of them get into the sedan chair and leave, before turning around to play with Ning'er.
When he found Ning'er's house, he was found sitting cross-legged on the carpet, surrounded by three beasts, the wolf cub and the little lion and the little tiger, to keep warm.
Ming Lanying hesitated and shouted, "Ning'er? ”
Ning Er looked up when she heard the voice, and shouted happily, "Mother!" But because the wolf cub in his arms couldn't stand up and pounce on him at the first time.
The three beasts lazily raised their eyes to look at her, then turned over coquettishly, revealing their soft bellies to her.
Ming Lanying smiled and took a handful of bellies, "Okay, go to the side." ”
The little lion and the little tiger obediently moved two steps to the side, and the wolf cub rubbed against her and went around behind the little master as a backrest.
Ming Lanying rubbed off her shoes and sat cross-legged beside Ning Er, the little black panther on her shoulder jumped down smartly and nested under her hand.
"What are you looking at?"
Ning Er leaned closer to her and held the book to her, "It's the art of war, it's a little difficult to understand." ”
Ming Lanying rubbed his head, "Miss Daddy?" ”
"Hmm!" Ning Er nodded frankly, "Daddy has been gone for a long time and hasn't come back, and he rarely writes back, as well as Aunt Hebai and Uncle Shan Zhao, I don't know how they are doing in front?" Does my mother miss my father too? ”
Ming Lanying kneaded the little black panther, do you want Ye Juelu? The little couple in love with others has not seen each other for a day, and she doesn't think so, probably knowing that he will be back soon, so there will be no anxiety.
"Don't worry, they shouldn't be bad in front, and they can send us a little bit back to play!"
"By the way, mother, did you say anything useful when that fine work was arrested by the guards and brothers?"
"There should be, right? Does Ning'er want to know? ”
The children of this era are precocious, and Ming Lanying will not spoil him too much, he will learn whatever he wants, and he will support him to understand everything he wants to know, she just needs to ensure that he does not go to the wrong path at a critical time.
Ning Er thought for a moment, shook her head, and nodded again after a moment, "Although I can't understand it, can I ask Brother Taiyi about them?" Only by knowing oneself and knowing oneself can one win a hundred battles, and only by knowing more about the enemy can we know their strengths and weaknesses, and will not let ourselves fall into the point of confusion, so is what Daddy said! ”
"Since it's Daddy's words, then it's okay! I'll go see it with Taiyi and them later, let's try it! ”
Ming Lanying rubbed his little face, her baby Ning'er gradually grew up, and the little face that she could hold with one hand before gradually had a contour, and her eyes became more and more like Ye Jielu's deep and aggressive eyes.
The tiger father has no dogs, and with a jewel like Ye Juelu in front, Ning'er will definitely not be an incompetent person who is lazy and lazy.
Ning Er nodded vigorously, and the wolf cub yawned behind him and lazily shook his big tail.
The big tail hit the little black panther who was resting with his eyes closed, and the little panther turned around and wanted to give it a bite on the tail, but was held down by Ming Lan Ying.
"Xiao Hei, you can't fight at home!"
The little black panther made a small report to her dissatisfied, and Ning Er moved to the side with the wolf cub in her arms, "Mother, the cub didn't mean it." ”
Ming Lanying smiled and comforted Xiao Hei, "Xiao Hei has a big temper, my mother has taught him a lesson, go back and let him catch mice." ”
Ning Er tilted her head, "Are there rats in the house?" ”
"Yes, quite a few."
After Arnold was arrested, several people hiding in the mansion also became agitated, and they kept looking for an opportunity to escape or do something.
But recently, there has been a lot of wind and snow, and people from the government are helping to clear the road and repair the house to save people, and the patrol and defense in the house have not been slackened for a moment, and it is not a good time to run.
Ming Lanying counted the time, and when they were about to make a move, they closed the door and let the beast go.
The thirty-four beasts raised were not raised for nothing, it was easy to catch a few small mice, and they could also be used to scare people.
The little black panther's previous reaction to Arnold's stress, in addition to sensing her malice, was also the faint special smell on her body, a subtle smell that their ordinary noses could not smell, but animals could smell it.
The little black panther scolded and told Ming Lanying that this smell was still in the house, and Ming Lanying wrote down this, and asked Taiyi to bring the bracelet on Arnold's body and confirm the smell for the little black panther.
The little black panther opened her little head in disgust, and Ming Lanying pinched the silver bracelet and pondered, "Taiyi, is there a way to know what it smells like?" ”
"Taste?"
Taiyi was stunned for a moment, as an omnipotent secret guard, the sense of smell was naturally fine, but they didn't smell anything.
"Back to the princess, we didn't smell anything, but if there was a smell on it, it should be the smell of spices unique to neighboring countries."
The little panther buried her head in her arms, humming and chirping about the bad smell.
Ming Lanying rubbed it soothingly, "What spice can stay for so long?" ”
"The royal family of neighboring countries has a special spice that can stay on clothing or items for a long time, and it is also easy to get contaminated with other things, and it is said to have the effect of strengthening the body."
Ming Lanying raised her eyebrows, "So amazing?" ”
Taiyi bowed his head, and Ming Lanying handed him the bracelet.
"Give this bracelet to the cubs of the Hundred Beasts Garden, it's time to catch mice."
"Yes."
Taiyi disappeared in the blink of an eye, and Ming Lanying held up the little black panther, "Little Hei, how many people in the house do you smell it?" ”
The little black panther screamed slowly, and Ming Lanying chuckled, "Three......"
"Mama Cai!"
Mama Cai, who was outside the door, heard the voice and came in, "The slave is here." ”
"Is there anyone in the house who is close to Arnold? Have you ever been in contact? ”
Mama Cai thought for a moment and then shook her head, "Except for a maid who spies on her, no one else likes to get close to her." ”
"Is that maid reliable?"
"Reliable, a family of three signed a death deed, it's easy to handle."
Ming Lanying nodded, excluding this maid who had been in contact, and the remaining two were other people's eyeliner.
Ming Lanying patted the little black panther, "After enduring it for so many days, they shouldn't be able to bear it anymore, they should be careful tonight, close the door and let the cubs go!" ”
Mama Cai bowed her head and retreated to arrange matters, and the little black panther slipped out of the window.
In the evening, Ming Lanying went to Ning'er and asked him what he had learned from Taiyi today.
Ning Er held her little face in frustration, "Brother Taiyi showed me all the things he asked, three pages of things, but there are many things I don't understand, Brother Taiyi, they can't explain it, and they say that when Daddy comes back, Daddy will explain it to me." ”
Ming Lanying laughed, "It's okay, you're still young, it doesn't matter if you can't understand it, your father will be back soon, and he will tell you slowly when the time comes." ”
"Hmmm! Brother Taiyi, they seem to want to send those to my father first, otherwise I will bring them over to my mother and relatives to see! ”
Ming Lanying shook her head again and again, "My mother won't look at it, my mother is not interested in this." ”
Ning'er shook her head, "My mother hasn't coaxed Ning'er to sleep for a long time, can you coax me to sleep tonight?" ”
After Ning'er was seven years old, Ming Lanying no longer slept with him, and he got used to it for so long, but he still missed the feeling of being coquettish with his mother and trying to sleep.
Ming Lanying nodded his head with a smile, "Okay, I'll wait until you fall asleep tonight before leaving." ”
When the wolf cub heard that there was a master to sleep tonight, he happily lay at her feet, and Ming Lanying smiled and kicked it lightly.
The dog will jump off the wall when he is in a hurry, and Ming Lanying is afraid that the two of them will do something irreparable, so she will stay by Ning'er's side tonight.
Mama Cai extinguished most of the candles and kept vigil outside, Ming Lanying guarded Ning'er to coax him to sleep, and glanced at the window from time to time.
In the middle of the night, Ning Er fell asleep deeply, Ming Lanying heard the slight fighting sound outside, and the low roar of the beast, and after a long time, a black figure slipped into the window that was left behind.
The wolf cub noticed that someone had intruded into its territory, and immediately stood up, and saw that it was the little panther who slowly lay down and continued to sleep.
The little panther panther pounced into her arms with precision, screamed softly twice, and hooked her wrist with its long tail to rub coquettishly.
Ming Lan Ying breathed a sigh of relief, and the little black panther came in and told her that the catch was going well, and the cubs had a keen sense of smell and soon found two nails in the dark.
The two couldn't help but want to save Arnold, but they were found by several beasts, and they were bitten several times, and they couldn't help screaming, and they were discovered by the guards at once.
Ming Lanying chuckled, now the house is clean, extinguishes the remaining candles, and goes out lightly with the little black panther.
The wolf cub's ears twitched, and he changed directions and continued to sleep.
