Chapter 75: Vinegar Jar
Yun'er arranged Xixue's affairs, came out of the inner hall, with a gloomy face, and the servants and maids she met on the road were frightened to walk around her when they saw Miss Yun's face, after all, she had been in charge of the Gongzi's Mansion for a long time, and Yun'er still had some official authority.
Walking to the martial arts arena in the outer courtyard, Yun'er happened to meet Hua Zilan, a tiger wearing a strong suit and dancing with a sword.
Seeing Yun'er coming, Hua Zilan put away her sword and stepped forward to greet her, "Miss Yun is here?" ”
After taking a closer look, Hua Zilan realized that Yun'er's face seemed to be wrong, so she changed her words and said, "Miss Yun, what's wrong with you?" Who upset you? Say it and I'll be angry for you. ”
Hua Zilan said as she brandished her twin swords, as if she was fighting an imaginary enemy.
Yun'er said angrily, "Who else can there be?" My son-in-law, it's only been a few days since I've been out! Another vixen ......"
Hua Zilan smiled embarrassedly when she heard this, thinking to herself, she is also one of the fox spirits?
Yun'er suddenly reacted and said the wrong thing, and hurriedly said, "Ah, Miss Chen, I didn't say that you are a fox spirit, but Gongzi recently accepted a new concubine, really, men are just unreliable, and they will get into trouble as soon as they go out." ”
Hua Zilan said with a smile: "The identity of the son is noble, there will definitely be many women in this life, why make such a big fuss for a small concubine, if it is the three palaces and six courtyards in the future, you will not be angry to death?" ”
When Yun'er heard this, she raised her foot and kicked a stone away, and snorted angrily, "I know, I'm angry that the old lady hasn't tasted it yet, but I don't know where it came from, and the fox took the lead...... I'm so angry, when I think of her foxy look, I can't wait to tear her up now. ”
Hua Zilan couldn't help but laugh when she heard this, and she was also a little surprised when she saw Yun'er behaving like this, which was very different from Yun'er, who was usually a little bird.
If Mu Sheng saw the current Yun'er, he would also be surprised by this scene, sure enough, the woman in front of her friends and in front of the person she liked were completely two people.
Yun'er looked at Hua Zilan and snorted angrily, "Miss Chen, you will kill that little vixen for me." ”
Hua Zilan hesitated a little and said, "Isn't this okay?" But the woman who moved the child's ......"
Yun'er waved her hand and said, "Hey! I'm joking, I'm talking angry words, don't take it seriously. ”
Yun'er suddenly turned her head and looked at Hua Zilan fixedly, and asked, "Miss Chen, aren't you a cultivator?" Is there that kind of elixir, or the kind of magic that makes men and women fall in love? ”
Hua Zilan tilted her head and thought for a long time before she said, "No, there is a powerful aphrodisiac on the rivers and lakes, and people will be delirious after drinking it, that ...... This ......"
Hua Zilan's face turned red and she couldn't say any more, although she had been cultivating for many years, she was also a yellow flower girl, and she didn't have much experience in this area......
"Miss Yun, if you like Childe, you can show him your heart, why bother?"
At this time, Yun'er's spiciness suddenly disappeared again, she lowered her head, her face was flushed, and she whispered, "Oops! I'm a girl, I'm always embarrassed, I can't open my mouth......"
Hua Zilan covered her mouth and snickered, "Miss Yun, if you can't open this mouth, I'll say it for you......"
Yun'er immediately stepped forward and grabbed her hand and said, "Oops! Let me think again! Maybe it's not impossible to get drugged......"
Hua Zilan opened her eyes wide and looked at Yun'er incredulously: "Miss Yun, do you really want to use that kind of indiscriminate means on the rivers and lakes?" ”
Yun'er anxiously paced back and forth, "Then what do you say?" ”
Hua Zilan comforted, "Miss Yun, you look so beautiful, as long as you are willing to confide in your heart, I think Gongzi is not a wooden person, besides, you have been together for so long, let me tell you, men chase women across the mountain, women chase men across the veil, you have to believe in yourself......"
Yun'er nodded as if she didn't understand, and asked, "Then Miss Chen, do you have anyone you like?" ”
Hua Zilan was stunned for a moment after hearing this, who do you like? A strange man standing at the bow of the boat in the wind gradually appeared in his mind, but his face could not be seen clearly.
Suddenly, the picture in her mind turned, it seemed that there had always been a woman who looked exactly like herself, trapped in the thick fog and desperately shouting at her, but she couldn't hear what she was talking about, vaguely judging from the shape of her mouth to make herself sober, what did it mean?
Hua Zilan suddenly held her head, her headache was splitting, her expression was unpredictable, and suddenly she seemed to have recovered again.
Seeing her like this, Yun'er asked worriedly, "Miss Chen, what's wrong with you?" Is the brain disease committed again? Wait, I'll go to the Imperial Doctor right away......"
Hua Zilan shouted to Yun'er and hesitated, "It's okay, it's just an occasional seizure, it's not in the way, I'll go to Gongzi and let him help me treat it later, it should be fine." ”
Yun'er saw that she was indeed fine, so she relieved herself.
After Yun'er left, Hua Zilan stood in the courtyard in a daze, thinking of the man standing at the bow of the boat, suddenly sadness came from it, she didn't know why she was so sad, the man was so familiar but couldn't remember everything about him, just like the memory of his previous life......
At this moment, a slightly cool tear slipped through Hua Zilan's jade-like face and dripped on her hand, she was shocked, and unconsciously burst into tears, but she didn't know why......
In the early morning of the next day, Mu Sheng got up and sneezed several times in a row for no reason, thinking to himself who was talking bad about himself behind his back?
He shook his head, dispelled this boring thought, looked in the mirror and dressed up, and instructed the servants to prepare the car and drive to the prince's mansion.
Coming to the vicinity of Gongzixiu's mansion, from a distance, the overall scale seems to be small, because someone has already been sent to inform the people in Gongzixiu's mansion, and as soon as the convoy arrived at the gate, there were several people standing to greet him.
After Mu Sheng got out of the car, a middle-aged man came forward and bowed and said, "I have seen Changping Jun, Wei Man, who is a guest in the Xia Gongzi Repair Mansion, and the son is recuperating at home due to injury, so it is inconvenient to go out to greet guests, and please Changping Jun Haihan." ”
When Mu Sheng saw it, he still had an impression of this son-in-law cultivator, and said, "Oh! I remember, Wei Jun is Wei Man, the chariot shooter at the conference that day, right? ”
"Changping-kun really has a good memory."
Mu Sheng asked, "I wonder if Brother Jiu's injuries are better?" ”
Wei Mandao said, "Back to Changpingjun, my son-in-law is still weak and is recuperating in bed. ”
Wei Manyan said, Mu Sheng had some doubts in his heart, shouldn't it? Injured by a fall from a horse? With his physical fitness, it was strange that he should have gotten out of bed and moved now......
Mu Sheng asked Wei Mandao, "Can you lead me to see Gongzi Xiu?" ”
"Yes, Changping-kun, please follow me into the inner hall."
The people who passed by along the way were very polite to Wei Man, and Mu Sheng felt that this Wei Man was not just an ordinary disciple of Gongzi Xiu, but also a confidant.
followed Wei Man into the inner room, only to see that the room was dimly lit, a strong smell of medicine came to the nostrils, and there seemed to be a person lying on the bed on the middle of the curtain.
A woman sat beside the bed, seemingly tending to the sick on the bed, and the servants around her were doing their own thing
He wondered in his heart, what happened to Gongzi Xiu? Look at this posture and the condition is getting worse, can't it? No way?
Although the medical conditions in ancient times were really not good, and the sick mainly relied on themselves, and they couldn't resist the suona as soon as they blew the white cloth and covered it, it really passed......
His son-in-law shouldn't be able to cultivate, right? is only twenty-seven or eighteen years old, still so young, and at the same time, Mu Sheng has a little joy in his heart, if Gongzi Xiu dies of illness, then there is only one opponent for the prince, maybe he really has a chance to take the throne? As for the virtue of the twelve princes, the emperor will never hand over the country to him if he is blind, and the remaining princes are too young to take on the task, and the emperor will only have one option left at that time.
Mu Sheng was thinking nonsense, and he approached the bed to take a clear look.
Seeing Mu Sheng approaching, the young woman beside the bed got up and prostrated to Mu Sheng.
Mu Sheng saw clearly that the person in front of him was about twenty-five or sixteen years old, with a beautiful appearance and a sad look on his face.
The woman said, "The concubine is the son of the concubine and the wife of the Yang family, and Changping Jun came to the cold house to visit her husband, and the concubine is grateful." ”
Mu Sheng hurriedly gave a deep salute, pretending to be concerned and said, "Hello sister-in-law, the ninth brother is my brother after all, the elder brother is sick, the younger brother should come here to visit, the younger brother I know a little bit of medical skills, can I see my brother's condition?" ”
Yang said, "Changping Jun has a heart, the concubine heard from the imperial doctor that because of the last time he suffered a lot of external injuries, he had already recovered, but a month ago, when his husband was active in the yard, he contracted a cold again, so he couldn't afford to get sick......"
Mu Sheng said with a solemn face: "I'll take the pulse for Brother Jiu and see what the situation is." ”
Mu Sheng stepped forward and grabbed Gongzixiu's hand, carefully felt his pulse, and felt that although the pulse was chaotic, fortunately, his condition was basically stable, but his breath was weak, and he was not worried about his life.
I don't know why, he has a little regret in his heart.
Mu Sheng comforted the Yang family with kind words, and saw Gongzi Xiu lying motionless on the bed through a thick curtain, and he couldn't see Gongzi Xiu's face clearly, and he didn't feel good about disturbing his recuperation, so he had to say goodbye and leave.
Out of Gongzi's mansion, Mu Sheng said to Wei Man, "It's really unfortunate, then Gongzi will come to visit your mansion another day!" ”
Wei Man said politely, "Changping Jun is polite, when my son-in-law's health improves, I will personally come to the door to inform ......"
After Mu Sheng returned home, he instructed a temple man to select a few rare herbs from the treasury to nourish and replenish qi and send them to Gongzi's mansion.
When he had nothing to do, he wandered to the front yard and saw Xia Chuan training the guards of the Gongzi's Mansion in the martial arts arena.
When Xia Chuan saw Mu Sheng coming, he said, "Your Majesty." ”
Mu Sheng nodded and said, "Xia Chuan, how is the injury on your arm?" ”
Xia Chuan said, "Your Majesty, it's long been out of the way"
Mu Sheng said, "Okay! I'll give you an errand, and in a few days you will be responsible for helping me collect a few properties nearby for the purpose of accommodating diners......"
Xia Chuan arched his hand and said, "Childe, please rest assured, you will live up to your mission?" ”
Mu Sheng said, "Hmm! In the future, I will recruit customers from top to bottom of Changping Junfu, and these properties are to arrange their residences, and you will be specifically responsible for the food and living of these guests, and you must not be lazy. ”
Xia Chuan said, "Childe should have been like this a long time ago, these people and diners can share the worries of Childe on weekdays, and they can also expand Childe's influence in the government and the opposition......"
Mu Sheng said, "Hmm! You work hard, and when you have the opportunity in the future, I will officially recommend you to join the company. ”
Xia Chuan said gratefully, "The son is very loved, and he will saddle the horse before and after the son, and there will be no two hearts." ”
Looking at Xia Chuan's distant back, Mu Sheng secretly affirmed in his heart that Xia Chuan was very serious and responsible in his work for more than a year, although he didn't talk much on weekdays, he still recognized Xia Chuan's character.
Xia Chuan, as the chief of the guard in the Changping Monarch's Mansion, is just a small officer at the level of a hundred generals, similar to the low-level officers of the centurions in later generations, only relying on mixed qualifications, at most to the level of the master of a thousand people, which is equivalent to a middle-level cadre of a thousand commanders.
Now is the era of peace, it is difficult for ordinary people to be like a few decades ago, the era of the nations competing for hegemony, by not wanting to die, willing to desperately cut off people's heads on the battlefield can turn over and change their lives, the world of great controversy has passed, and now clinging to the powerful is a way to rise quickly.
Now he also has to take advantage of the feudal monarch to focus on cultivating a group of people for his use, and this era still has more or less the habit of the feudal magnates in the past to collect customers......
