Chapter 61: Reasonable
"My cousin's wife has a lot of bugs." Poria and Jia Xuan said as they walked, "There are all kinds of insects in that insect garden. When I was passing by, I saw that there were soft and hard ones, and there were a lot of flying and crawling ones. Thinking of the situation at that time, she shuddered: "Look at my heart." ”
Jia Xuan asked, "When was the insect garden built?" Mrs. Liu is really big-hearted, and she actually allows outsiders to raise insects at home, and she is really not afraid that the flowers and plants in the garden will suffer. ”
"What's the solution? The prince knew that the princess was afraid of insects, so he originally refused to let his cousin's wife raise her in the house. After the princess couldn't help but love her cousin and kept begging the prince, the prince was willing, but he didn't let him keep it in the back house, and set up the place in the front yard. ”
The garden is full of flowers and fragrant.
The two walked on the gravel path, whispering softly. Poria stretched out her hand for the little girl to remove the flowers and branches sticking out of the bushes next to her, so that she could walk more smoothly.
Jia Xuan covered his mouth and said, "Sister, why don't you take me over to have a look?" ”
"This ...... Not right, right? Poria hesitated: "That place is in the front yard." ”
"I'm going to see if there are any bugs that aren't so good. What if the lady is sick because of the bug? Jia Xuan knew that she was loyal, so she deliberately mentioned Mrs. Liu: "Think about it, the beginning of Mrs. Liu's illness was during the Chinese New Year. And my cousin's wife lived at that time. ”
As soon as she said this, Poria also began to feel weird: "What the girl said is true." And the insect garden was built after my cousin's wife lived in, and there weren't so many insects at first, and my cousin's wife often went out to buy, so it gradually increased. ”
Jia Xuan took the opportunity to ask: "Then the master of Anlin Temple, was introduced to his wife by his cousin's wife?" ”
"Nope. Before his cousin's wife came to Beijing, Master Zhiwu had already come to the mansion. Speaking of which, Master Zhiwu knew his cousin's wife, and he was introduced by his wife. ”
Jia Xuan bowed his head, thinking that he would take this opportunity to go to the front yard, first, to see the insect garden, and second, maybe he could also meet the Zhiwu monk who was participating in meditation in the outer courtyard. He continued to encourage Poria cocos.
She gently pulled Poria's sleeve: "Good sister, you can take me to see it." I've grown so big, I've seen flowers and grass, but I haven't seen insects. ”
The little girl was carved in pink, and looked at herself expectantly. Seeing this, Poria softened her heart a little, and hesitated for a while before she said: "In that case, I will take you over, but I can't alarm others, only the two of us quietly, do you think it's okay?" ”
Poria was finally moved by her, led her to the front yard, and kept saying: "We are in the past like this, it is not suitable to sit in a sedan chair, we can only walk, otherwise I will be disappointed if I am found by the master." If the girl is tired of walking, we will rest for a while. ”
At the beginning, Jia Xuan still thought that it was only a few steps, and no matter how tired he was, he would not get tired. It wasn't until the two of them walked slowly for more than an hour that she regretted it and asked Poria bitterly: "Haven't you arrived yet?" ”
"It's coming." Poria looked around: "Just go through that door again." ”
A little guy came over to say hello: "Miss Poria, why did you come here at this time?" Wang ......"
Poria hurriedly made a silent gesture and whispered, "I'm going to see my aunt's insect garden." You also know that the master doesn't like others to mention the worm garden the most. But I saw that there were some insects in the garden behind me, so I wanted to ask the keeper of the insect garden what to do with it, so I went this way. ”
There were also maids and women who passed by to greet her before, and she said the same thing.
The little guy nodded clearly, and after seeing Jia Xuan, he was a little shocked by the beauty of this little girl. But the people in their house never asked much about other people's affairs, nor did they ask much about the situation of this little girl, and went to take care of the work at hand.
The insect garden is almost the size of Mrs. Liu's bedroom, and is located in the most remote corner of the front yard. It's quite damp, and there are a variety of plants and flowers to feed the insects.
There are really a lot of bugs, some soft, and a lot of hard shells. Basically all varieties Jia Xuan has seen. The hard shells of certain bugs reminded her of Mrs. Liu, who was lying motionless in bed.
I don't know what kind of Gu the wicked man used, but he actually made a good person look like that.
Jia Xuan stepped on the damp ground of the insect garden, and reasonably doubted that these insects were not put in captivity by his cousin's wife.
Gu worms need food.
The Medicine Gu King feeds on medicinal herbs, and there is a small medicine garden on the side of the black throttle that is enough for it to eat. The Nightmare Gu King devoured the dream realm, but as long as there were people around him who were dreaming, he was not afraid that the Nightmare Gu King would not have enough to eat. What the Sleepy Gu needs is sleep, as long as it sleeps enough, it can survive by breathing air. And the Tutu Gu eats plankton, no matter how small the pool is, it can easily feed it.
And in the huge mansion in front of him, if there are Gu worms that need some insect food, and those who prefer Gu can't easily get it, they have to think of finding a source of food.
For example, make a worm garden, and let the people in the house take the initiative to help bring the food needed by the Gu worms, and then raise them alive.
Jia Xuan asked the steward in charge of taking care of the insects: "Who usually comes to this insect garden?" Is it only my cousin's wife? ”
This steward is the old man in the house, because he is good at serving flowers and plants and knows how to deal with insects, but he was sent by the master to take care of insects.
He said bluntly: "Wang ......"
Poria coughed lightly: "The master is not coming, this is a well-known thing." Just tell me who's coming. ”
The steward hurriedly said, "It's all my cousin's wife." If she is not available, let the guards or maids around her take a trip. ”
Jia Xuan was curious: "She still has guards?" ”
"Yes." The steward saw that Poria was waiting for this girl, but he didn't dare to be careless, and he didn't ask much, but said very respectfully: "My cousin's wife went all the way from her hometown to Beijing, and she was escorted by guards on the way. ”
It turned out to be brought by his hometown, and Jia Xuan was headed.
After leaving the insect garden, Jia Xuan said that he wanted to meet his cousin's wife, and asked the two to meet alone in private, without anyone present.
Poria was very hesitant: "But the master has instructed not to let the girl and other people in the house talk alone." If there's a mistake, it's troublesome, and someone has to be there to follow. He added: "This is also for the sake of the girl's safety, and you also know that this house is not very peaceful." ”
"Then you help us find a room, and we say in the house, you are waiting outside." Jia Xuan said: "Think about it, you are a close person to your wife, what if she is afraid of you and refuses to speak up about something next to you?" I'm a child, and she dares to say something to me, but she doesn't necessarily dare to tell you. ”
Poria's expression was a little loose, but she still said, "But the master has ordered ......"
"Don't you think it's strange that she let people have this worm garden?" Jia Xuan said: "It's better than this, I promise you, I will not ask me about things I shouldn't know, only ask about things that may be related to Madame's condition, what do you think." ”
Of course, if the other party accidentally took the initiative to say some details that she didn't know, she really wouldn't be blamed.
