Chapter 156: His Wooden Tower
Pei Yunyi didn't show up in the end.
The subordinate sent by Pei Yunshu came back and said that the guards of Pei's mansion said that Pei Yunyao went out last night and seemed to be on official business, and he had not returned yet.
Pei Yunshu nodded: "I see." β
There was some regret in the tone.
Lu Yu didn't care, she came over today, and she was supposed to diagnose the pulse of Pei Yunshu's mother and daughter first. After saying a few more words, he first went to look at the little jewel in the cradle.
Fortunately, Baozhu was born nine times and died, and the situation was dangerous, which was worrying to look at, but once this disaster passed, it seemed that it really should be said by Ji Tailai. "Child's sorrow" did not seem to have any effect on the little girl, she gradually grew from weak to strong, although she was slightly smaller than babies of the same age due to premature birth, but her body was healthy and powerful.
was touched by Lu Yu's hand, and Baozhu's black eyes stared at her without blinking, not afraid of the appearance of life.
Lu Yu and Pei Yunshu told the recent situation of the jewel, Pei Yunshu breathed a sigh of relief, put the hanging heart back in his stomach for the time being, and put his hands together to thank God for his blessing, saying that he must go to Wan'en Temple to donate some incense when he is free.
Seeing that the jewel was fine, Lu Yu checked Pei Yunshu's pulse again.
Compared with Baozhu, Pei Yunshu needs more places to recuperate.
At the beginning, due to the poison of "children's sorrow", Pei Yunshu had to agree to induce labor, and lost blood and gas during childbirth, and was deficient in both camp and health. Later, when she gave birth to Baozhu, she was worried about Baozhu's body, which was also accompanied by the separation from the king of Wenjun and the move away from the palace of the county king.
Lu Yu prescribed her some prescriptions to strengthen her qi and strengthen her body, nourish her blood and reconcile it.
Half a day has passed.
At noon, when it was almost time to eat, Pei Yunshu pulled Lu Yu to the hall and said with a smile: "There are few people in the family, the meals are simple, don't dislike Dr. Lu." β
Lu Yu followed her into the hall.
The hall was brightly lit, with a simple square table and a few wide chairs in the center. A couple of maidservants were serving hot food to the table.
Lu Yu and Pei Yunshu sat down at the table.
is different from the Renxin Medical Center, when Lu Yu returned to the Renxin Medical Center, Du Changqing was full of big fish and meat, and even the steamed buns were big faces, for fear of starving people. The food in Pei's Mansion is much more exquisite.
There is golden rice boiled with chrysanthemums and rice, and it is served in a palm-sized celadon bowl, and the color is distinct. There is a tender tofu soup, which is light and rich in flavor. bamboo shoots, fatty spicy vegetables, frozen three fresh, kumquat water ball...... There are also meat dishes, such as white fried spring goose and fried chicken, all of which are served on a dish made of grass and decorated with flowers.
The portion of each item is not much, but it looks very beautiful.
Pei Yunshu gave Lu Yu a bowl of ginger and orange peel soup, and smiled a little embarrassedly: "I don't know how to cook, and neither can the maid brought out of the Junwang Mansion." The cook in this house originally cooked in a restaurant, but Ah Yao invited me back. I don't know what you like to eat......" Suddenly remembered something, and moved a plate of dim sum on the side to Lu Yu: "By the way, Dr. Lu tastes this." β
Pink lotus flowers are held in the shape of emerald green lotus leaves, and the flowers and leaves stretch like freshly picked lotuses, always reminiscent of the evening breeze by the pool in summer.
Lu Yu was stunned.
It is a plate of lotus cakes.
Pei Yunshu's voice came from his ears: "...... Dr. Lu tasted it while it was hot, and Ah Yi said that you like to eat this. β
Lu Yu held the hand of the chopsticks and paused: "Master Pei? β
Pei Yunshu laughed: "I really don't know what you like to eat, I was worried about the menu that day, and Ah Yi came to see the jewel, so I asked him casually." β
"Ben didn't expect him to know, I didn't think he actually said it."
She looked at Lu Yu: "Doctor Lu really likes to eat this?" β
After a pause, Lu Yu nodded: "Hmm." β
"That's great. But......" Pei Yunshu was a little strange, "how did he know that Dr. Lu likes lotus cakes, did you tell him?" β
Lu Yu remembered that night in the South Pharmacy, he hid in the abandoned dusty warehouse and ate the basket of lotus cakes brought by Pei Yunyi.
In fact, she had forgotten what that basket of snacks tasted like. At that time, I was tired and hungry, so I just filled my stomach, and I didn't have the heart to taste it, and I vaguely felt that it was sweet.
Lu Yu came back to his senses and replied gently: "Xu mentioned it to Master Pei when he was in the county king's mansion before. β
After all, at that time, she and Pei Yunyao also got along with Wenjun Mansion for a while.
Pei Yunshu nodded, looked at Lu Yu, and said in a profound tone: "In this way, Dr. Lu is still very familiar with our family. β
The next moment, she approached, and a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes: "However, after so much time, why haven't you seen your fiancΓ©?" β
Lu Yu: "......"
She silently picked up a piece of lotus cake and decided to dodge the question she didn't know how to answer.
The meal was tough.
Pei Yunshu didn't know what was going on, and suddenly became 120,000 interested in her unmasked "fiancΓ©", and sounded on the side.
This person was originally made up by her, and she could only deal with the past vaguely. A meal made Lu Yu's brain hurt faintly.
When he finished eating, the orb had fallen asleep. Children of this age spend most of their day eating and sleeping except for short plays.
Lu Yu saw that there were still some times, and Pei Yunshu had mentioned that he didn't know if he had hugged Baozhu a lot recently, and his waist was always sore. Lu Yu probed and knew that she was strained by her kidneys, menstrual injuries, and invaded by wind and cold, and her blood and qi were fighting, so she had low back pain. So he let her go into the house, lay down on the bed, and rubbed her waist and hips and lower limbs to relax. Later, he took the waist Yangguan, Sanjiao Yu, kidney Yu, large intestine Yu, rank edge, ring jump...... Wait for a dry acupuncture point to be punctured with the first diarrhea and then tonic method.
After this business was completed, Pei Yunshu's back pain was indeed alleviated a lot, and Lu Yu prescribed some decoction prescriptions to Fangzi.
When I was busy, I didn't feel that the days were passing, and the sun was gradually sinking in the west, and dusk was here again, and the remnant sun shone on the courtyard outside, and Baozhu also woke up from her sleep, babbling to find the nurse.
The lamp was lit in the room, Pei Yunshu felt cold, went into the room and changed into a thicker silk brocade robe, and saw Lu Yu with his back to the person, standing in front of the hanging paintings hanging in the hall and looking seriously.
Pei Yunshu walked over, followed to look at the painting on the wall, and asked, "Is it good-looking?" β
Lu Yu nodded: "It's good-looking." β
In fact, she doesn't know calligraphy and painting.
When I was a child, I only heard my father say that the ancients said that it was the most difficult to draw people, the second landscape, the second dog and horse, and its pavilion. What "there are eight grids in the painting" and what "the meaning of the gods", she knows a little about it, and she seems to understand it or not.
She has never been able to calm down and taste the artistic conception of these landscapes, isn't it just a painting?
Therefore, whenever I saw Lu Qian and Lu Rou talking the truth, I was always very impatient.
But later, after staying alone in Luomei Peak for a long time, my temperament was gradually smoothed out, and I had a lot of free time, and I was gradually able to taste one or two.
Lu Yu stared at the painting on the wall.
The silk is uniform, the ink color is clear, and a girl in a pale dress is painted leaning against the window, and there is a flower bush under the window, and butterflies are flying. The painting of the girl with low eyebrows and wiping tears, full of unspeakable hearts, the brushstrokes are extremely smart and realistic, there is really "like seeing each other among the flowers, both pairs of flying." gratuitous and tears wipe the rouge, provoke the meaning of "wings hanging".
"This is my mother's work."
Pei Yunshu's voice came from his side.
Lu Yu was a little surprised.
Duchess Zhaoning?
Her impression of this Duchess of Zhaoning only stayed in the picture of the woman in the mouths of Du Changqing and Jin Xianrong, who was finally abandoned by her husband in the hands of the rebels, and never wanted to see a completely different side in this painting.
Pei Yunshu looked at the silk painting and was stunned for a long time before saying, "My mother loves painting very much. β
"When Ah Ying and I were young, when my mother was still there, every New Year, she would draw a picture of the whole family and put it at home."
"Later, she passed away, all the paintings in the house were buried with me, I secretly hid one, Jiang entered the door, the painting was not good to hang at home, I entered the Wenjun Palace, and I was afraid that the subordinates would not take good care of the picture scroll. But now that the mansion has been opened, it can hang here generously, and I am not afraid of others gossiping. β
Lu Yu said softly: "Madame draws very well. β
Pei Yunshu gathered her clothes: "Actually, Ah Yao also draws very well." β
"Master Pei?"
Pei Yunshu: "Ah Yi's Danqing was personally taught by my mother, and the gentleman of the academy also praised ......" After a pause, she said: "But after my mother passed away, he stopped painting." β
At this point, the tone is a little sad.
Lu Yu was silent.
It seems that Pei Yunshu and Duchess Xian Zhaoning seem to have a very good relationship.
As he was talking, Fangzi walked into the hall: "Madam, the prince is back." β
Pei Yunyao is back.
Lu Yu followed Fangzi's gaze.
The last bit of sunset on the horizon dissipated, the flowers and the moon were dark, the courtyard wind lamps were lit up one after another, and a tall figure passed through the court and gradually stepped forward. Pei Yunyi wore a vermilion beaded pair of sheep and bird pattern brocade clothes, a handsome face, but it showed a bit of slaughter in the dark.
As they got closer, as the lights gradually brightened, the little slaughter slowly faded, and the young man's eyes were gentle like a warm wind, and his veins stirred a trickle of spring water.
Pei Yunshu smiled at him and said, "Just said you, you came back, today is not Xiumu, why did you come back so late, you didn't have time to eat." β
Pei Yunyi replied indifferently: "I have official business." He glanced at Lu Yu again, and the corners of his lips curved slightly: "Doctor Lu is also there." β
The tone is a little detached.
Lu Yu didn't say anything.
He smiled again: "What did you just say about me?" "Bend down to tease the jewel that was held in the nurse's arms.
Baozhu grabbed his finger and tried to stuff it into his mouth, but was stopped by Pei Yunyi.
Pei Yunshu said: "It's nothing. You came back just in time, Dr. Lu is going back to West Street later, the girl's family is dangerous to walk alone at night, since you are back, you will send it to others. β
"No, you don't." Lu Yu said.
As soon as the words came out, Pei Yunshu and Pei Yunyao looked at her at the same time.
Lu Yu's expression was calm: "I have something to say to Master Pei." β
Pei Yunshu was stunned for a moment.
Pei Yunyao turned his head sideways, and his dark eyes stared at her quietly.
After a while, he straightened up, let go of the hand that teased Baozhu, and said to Lu Yu, "You go to the study and wait for me first." β
"I'll change my clothes."
Lu Yu: "Okay. β
Fangzi took Lu Yu to Pei Yunyao's study, and Pei Yunyao also went back to change clothes. Only Pei Yunshu and the maidservant were left standing in the hall.
Pei Yunshu took a few steps back, sat down on the chair, suddenly remembered something, and asked the grandmother beside her: "Ah Yi just said, let Dr. Lu wait for him in the study?" β
Mama said yes.
"Strange ......"
Pei Yunshu blinked suspiciously.
Pei Yunyi has always disliked people entering his house, and he hasn't even entered Pei Yunshu's study, but he is afraid that there will be some court documents in it, for fear of making a mistake.
Look at Lu Yu and his younger brother, they are also polite and unfamiliar, and their close friendship is not enough, but Pei Yunyi actually let Lu Yu go to his house like this, and also entered the study that others can't enter?
Not to mention the plate of lotus cake, is it between the two......
What else is there she doesn't know?
β¦β¦
Pei Yunshu thought in her heart, but Lu Yu didn't know at the moment.
Pei Yunyao's house is next to Pei Yunshu's house, only separated by a wall, but he can't walk a few steps.
It's just that this mansion looks much more deserted than Pei Yunshu's house.
Maybe it's because Pei Yunyi's crying without a baby is lively, or maybe it's because the mansion is sparsely populated, and the repair is too elegant and clean, and even shows a little coldness, and when people walk into it, they feel a layer of quiet and cold silence.
Fangzi took Lu Yu through the porch of the steps, bypassed the small courtyard, and stopped in front of Pei Yunyao's study: "Miss Lu, please come in, the prince will come later." β
With that, she bowed her head and left.
Lu Yu pushed the door and walked in.
This study is very simple.
There is a desk by the window, and there is a desk table in the east of the room, on which there are book lamps, smokers, inkstones, pen and ink. Near the bookcase, there is a Bogu shelf, on which are some antique utensils on display, and a pot of daffodil bonsai.
This house is simple and casual, compared to the poor and luxurious Qi Yutai Sili Mansion, it is really too simple. It is completely different from Pei Yunyi's gorgeous skin, revealing a coldness.
Lu Yu walked a few steps into the room, and saw that there was a very small round table in the deepest part of the room, with a pile of things overlapping high on it, and he couldn't help but take a closer look-
It was originally a small tower.
All are made of wood cut into finger-sized balls, not square, but also round, one by one from the bottom to the top to build a small tower, towering, at a glance quite spectacular, if not close, but also thought that it was a bonsai made up deliberately.
Lu Yu saw that the small piece of wood on the top didn't know if it was slanted by the wind or what, half of it was hanging outside the spire, crumbling, as if it was going to collapse in the next moment, after thinking about it, he stretched out his hand and wanted to push the piece of wood at the spire inside-
"Don't move."
"Whoa!"
Suddenly, there was a loud bang.
The sound of the young man stopping rang out almost simultaneously with the loud sound of the wooden tower collapsing.
The tall wooden tower burst in an instant, like a waterfall that had been frozen for a whole winter, and it rushed down suddenly, and flowed all over the ground.
Lu Yu suddenly turned around.
Pei Yunyi stood at the door, his eyes swept in front of the wooden tower that collapsed in an instant, and he said expressionlessly: "Did you do it on purpose?" β
Lu Yu: "......"
This time she really didn't mean to.
Lu Yu pursed his lips: "I'm sorry, I'll help you build a new one." β
"No, you don't."
Pei Yunyao bent down, picked up a piece of wood that rolled to the side of his boots, and walked to the desk to put it down.
Lu Yu looked at him, I don't know if it was an illusion, or if Pei Yunyao was in a bad mood, she always felt that this person was especially alienated today, as if she was deliberately keeping a distance.
However, what Pei Yunyi's mood was, and why this person was like this, Lu Yu was not interested in knowing. Including why he stacked such a wooden tower in the study, with a mysterious appearance, but there was no secret volume hidden in it.
Not even a gold brick.
Cast a mist before somebody's eyes.
Pei Yunyi noticed her gaze, smiled, didn't care about the mess, just sat down in front of the case, and asked Lu Yu, "What is Doctor Lu looking for me?" β
Lu Yu was silent, followed and sat down opposite him, and did not speak for a while.
He raised an eyebrow: "So hard to say? β
Actually, it's not hard to say.
It's just that now she really doesn't have any conditions to make a deal with Pei Yunyi.
Lu Yu said: "Lord Pei's ears and eyes are all over the world, and the secrets that the Shengjing Imperial City Division can't inquire about, Master Pei knows. β
"What do you mean?"
Lu Yu leaned over and stared at his eyes: "Taishi Qi Qing loves birds, but five years ago, Taishi Mansion no longer raised birds, Master Pei knows what happened to the Qi family five years ago." What did Qi Yutai do? β
"Why does he hate thrushes?" she asked. β
There was a sudden silence in the room.
In the distance, the sound of the night wind blowing through the flower windows lined the silent night with the sound of falling needles.
Lu Yu's gaze crossed the desk and landed on the pieces of wood scattered all over the ground.
Qi Yutai's mother suffered from epilepsy, and Qi Yutai may have had epilepsy when he was young, so the Taishi Mansion has used soothing spiritual rhino incense for Qi Yutai for many years, and he has never even used other incense pills.
Everything seems to be going well.
But five years ago, the Taishi Mansion secretly summoned Cui Min to the palace for consultation, but the vaguely written medical case revealed a little different.
Those prescriptions and medicinal materials that stabilized his mind seemed to indicate that Qi Yutai was showing signs of illness.
But what was the reason for his illness?
If it's just that the time for the onset of illness has come, why does Qi Yutai hate birds, especially thrushes.
Thrush ......
Just like Lu Yu back then, when he watched Yun Niang be poisoned and lose the dark clouds, from then on, when he saw the black dog cub again, he would be cold and trembling. Qi Yutai must also hate seeing thrushes for some reason.
If she wanted to concoct a pair of poisons that were difficult to trace for Qi Yutai, she had to know who the most important pair of poisons was.
However, the Qi family is powerful, and the secrets about Qi Yutai are always buried, and no trace can be found. Why does Qi Yutai hate thrushes, Lin Danqing doesn't know, Miao Liangfang doesn't know, and Cao Ye in the Happy Building doesn't know......
But Pei Yunyao may know.
If you want to know the truth, you can only ask the person in front of you.
Retracting his thoughts, Lu Yu looked at the other side.
The young man had already changed out of the scarlet brocade robe he wore when he returned home, and only wore a frost-colored snow robe that was wide and a little cool under the lamplight.
The yin and yang of the twilight of the year urge the short scene, and the frost and snow at the end of the world are cold. The cold tone of white made his handsome eyebrows and eyes sharp, and under the dim light, it was completely different from the usual coldness.
Pei Yunyao looked at Lu Yu with a calm look in his eyes.
The dim light danced in his dark eyes, and Lu Yu's shadow was faintly reflected in those dark eyes.
After a moment, he lowered his eyelashes: "Know." β
Lu Yu was overjoyed.
"But Doctor Lu," he began, his tone sharp, "why did I tell you?" β
