Attack Jade (攻玉) - Chapter 11
[Chapter 11 (1)]
Teng Yuyi didn’t answer immediately, Juesheng thought about it for a while, and then added quickly: “Senior brother is afraid that something will go wrong on the way back to the city, so he specially asked the poor Daoist to send some magic charms to the injured.” Jue Sheng is as fat as a small round barrel, but his skills are light and agile .
After sitting down, he learned the style of Xuzi and bowed his body: “Poor Dao Jishou.
” Teng Yuyi couldn’t help laughing and said, “I have seen the Taoist priest.”
Du Tinglan was placed on the couch behind the curtain. Teng Yuyi and Mrs. Du sat side by side on the low table under the east window. The interior of the car was quite comfortable. It seemed cramped up.
Teng Yuyi was sullen after wearing the power fence all night. Thinking that this little Taoist priest was only eight or nine years old, she took off the power fence and put it aside.
It was only now that Jue Sheng could see Teng Yuyi’s appearance clearly. Not only was he not ugly, but he was also surprisingly beautiful, so he couldn’t help but take a few more glances out of curiosity.
“Little Daoist?”
Juesheng rubbed his head in awe, and then sat upright and said, “Actually, several injured people have taken the Six Yuan Pills, so they don’t need to use the magic talisman anymore. Senior brother asked me to ask about the situation in the bamboo forest. Teng Madam, why did you and Madam Du go to the bamboo forest at that time? Did someone lead you to go there? What happened after that, apart from monsters, have you ever seen anyone with suspicious behavior?”
He paused, as if repeating Lin Chengyou’s teaching. his words.
Teng Yuyi and Mrs. Du met each other’s eyes. Why Du Tinglan left Jingfu Nunnery is still a mystery. For fear of damaging Du Tinglan’s reputation, the two have been deliberately covering up the matter.
But judging from the various situations when catching the monster tonight, it seems that the origin of the monster is not simple.
In addition, Teng Yuyi still has a layer of concern. In the half year before and after the accident of her cousin in her previous life, she had never heard of a monster that brought harm to Chang’an, but tonight this monster has already harmed more than ten women, and the cause of death of her cousin in her previous life has been verified. Being strangled to death, but by the way of the monster tonight, killing people doesn’t need to be so troublesome.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that there were too many details that could not be combined. She remembered that after her cousin was murdered in her previous life, even her grandfather sent someone to investigate secretly, but she had no choice but to find out who the killer was. Hands, may be able to find out the truth.
She then said truthfully: “We don’t know why cousin went to the bamboo forest. When we arrived, cousin and maid Hongnu had lost their consciousness. The monsters were dormant in the tree, and they started to attack us as soon as we got close. Duanfu was busy dealing with monsters, so he didn’t pay attention to whether there were other people hiding in the forest.”
Juesheng showed a disappointed look: “I thought Mrs. Teng knew the inside story.”
“It seems that I can only ask my cousin when she wakes up.” Teng Yuyi said in a deep voice, “But one thing is quite strange. After we rescued my cousin, we found that there was a wound on the palm of my
cousin ‘s palm. The blood stains had already scabbed over, and it didn’t look like it was just broken by a monster.” His right hand was pulled out of the quilt and exposed outside the curtain.
“Little Daoist, look.”
Juesheng leaned forward, the wound was thin and deep: “Hey, why is it a bit like a branch pierced? No, the branch can’t be pierced so deeply, like scissors.”
“It should be scissors. I When I went to look for my cousin at Yunhui Hall in the nunnery, I saw a lot of colorful wins on the table.” Teng Yuyi took out the gold foil jade piece from the sleeve, “Look at the Taoist priest, it is estimated that the hand was pierced when Yunhui Hall was cutting the ribbon.”
The two took advantage of the light to search carefully, and soon found a dark bloodstain the size of a fingernail on one of them. The foil was originally a deep ochre color, and the bloodstain had dried up, so it was inconspicuous.
Jue Sheng squeezed the tactic with his left hand and swiped his other finger across his eyebrows. He opened his heavenly eyes and didn’t see anything wrong, so he turned his head to observe the scar on Du Tinglan’s palm.
“It looks like there is a lot of blood. If there were demons hidden in the forest at that time, as long as Mrs. Du approached, the demons would smell the blood on her body.”
Teng Yuyi was stunned: “The Taoist priest means that cousin is because of her hand. Is it only because of the wound on the body that the monster is staring at it?”
“Also…” Juesheng hesitated, “It doesn’t look like much, senior brother said that this monster has a grass-bodied wooden heart and feeds on dewy soil. It does not like flesh and blood and does not like fishy smells. It only loves the skins of beautiful women. Will find a way to grab the flesh, once a more beautiful woman is found, it will suck up the host’s essence and come out. Just one thing, it will never damage the beauty of the flesh, so many women have died in front, and few people report to the official, Because there is no scar from the outside, they all thought it was a sudden illness and died.”
Teng Yu said in a thoughtful way, “According to this, the cousin has such a deep wound on her hand, and the reason can’t enter the monster’s eyes, so why is it? Are you going to look at my cousin?”
Jue Sheng thought hard for a while with his round face, but he couldn’t figure out what was important, so he got up and said goodbye: “I have to hurry up and report this to my senior brother. Tomorrow Mrs. Du should wake up, if Mrs. and Mrs. Mrs. Teng doesn’t mind, the poor Taoist will come to the house.”
Teng Yuyi and Madam Du hurriedly bowed: “Then I will wait for the Taoist priest to arrive.”
Jue Sheng walked out with a chubby belly, Teng Yuyi suddenly smiled and said: “Master, please stay, I have something I want to ask the master.”
Juesheng turned his head, if Mrs. Teng hadn’t taken the initiative to lend the jade sword tonight, the senior brother would not have led the old demon out of the formation so quickly. The longer the delay, the more variables, and when the senior brother got the fake sword, he and Qizhi might have already died under the claws of the monster.
Mrs. Teng lent her the jade sword, and the senior brother also gave Mrs. Teng six yuan pills. The two were evenly matched, but if Mrs. Teng asked him and Qizhi for help because of this, he would have to agree with reason, so he smiled and said: ” Mrs. Teng, please tell me.”
“Dare to ask.” Teng Yuyi asked curiously, “What spell did your senior brother cast on Dong Erniang tonight, why does it make people feel so itchy??
” Itchy itch blooms] worm.”
Teng Yuyi and Madam Du were stunned, what a strange name.
“This insect was originally called Bai Zong, and my senior brother thought it was boring, so he changed it. How, is it easier to remember than the original name.”
Teng Yuyi smiled and nodded: “What a majestic name.”
After all, Jue Sheng’s childish temperament was amused by Teng Yuyi’s demeanor. As soon as the chatterbox was opened, he continued to talk.
“This worm is born when it is hot, and it can repel the five poisons. Master originally caught this worm to make pills. As a result, once on the Dragon Boat Festival, my brother got drunk in the temple and caught this worm and put it in the jade wine. It takes seven days after soaking. When you open the wine kettle, you can see that the worm is still alive, but the color has changed from white to green, and
its temperament has also changed. Be careful to be touched by it, it will be very itchy and unbearable immediately, the most hateful thing is that it cannot be caught or driven away. Even for a month, it is enough to torture people into a human form. Teng Yuyi became more and more curious: ”
It’s so good, and there is no antidote to restrain it. If it is accidentally misused, how will it end?” ”
“Since senior brother dares to use it, he naturally has a way to drive it.” This worm is invulnerable, not afraid of fire, and it took my brother a long time to find an antidote to restrain it.
Teng Yuyi’s eyes twitched: “I just heard that the prince ordered the palace servants to take the antidote before touching Dong Erniang. Could it be that the worm will spread? ” ”
“No. Jue Sheng’s eyes widened, “If someone accidentally comes into contact with someone who has been poisoned by insects, it will also itch. ”
“Then…isn’t your senior brother going to give Dong Erniang an antidote?” ”
“How come?” “The Holy Sacred Head shook like a rattle,” Senior Brother, this man is hard-hearted. Dong Erniang not only deceived Liuyuandan but also injured her senior brother. It would be nice if her senior brother didn’t give her a few more. How could she detoxify her?
Teng Yu smiled nonchalantly, took out an object from the sleeve, and spread it out in front of Jue Sheng: “Little Daoist, my sword can cut off that monster’s claws, I wonder if I can deal with your Qingyun Temple’s [call you] Life is not as good as death, tickling and blooming] insects?”
Juesheng looked at the jadeite sword with bright green, secretly swallowed his saliva, was curious all night, and finally got a glimpse of the true face, he was so greedy, really wanted to Touch it now.
He tried to stretch out his hand, but withdrew regretfully: “But I don’t have that bug on my body right now.”
Teng Yuyi pretended to take back the jade sword, shook his head and sighed: “It’s a pity, I thought I could try it right away.”
Juesheng said anxiously . : “Anyway, Pindao will visit a few injured people in the house tomorrow, I can bring a few to the door.”
Teng Yuyi hurriedly smiled: “It’s so good, then it’s settled, then I will give the jade sword to Xiaodao. Master, the Taoist priest can make a gesture in person.”
Juesheng was happy for a while, and gradually realized that this worm is not a treasure in the view, but there is no reason to show it to outsiders at will, why only a few words Gongfu, did you agree to Mrs. Teng? But as long as he thought that he would be able to play with the Jade Sword tomorrow, he felt itchy again.
The sword was only shown on one side before it was taken back by Teng Yuyi. The more Jue Sheng thought about it, the more he felt that something was not right. He pouted at Teng Yuyi, was he being surrounded? However, Teng Yuyi looked back at him solemnly, as if to say, “Does the Taoist see me as a bad person?”
When Juesheng got out of the car, she thought, Of course, Madam Teng can’t be considered a bad person, but when Madam Teng pressed her elbow on Dong Erniang’s leg tonight, He and Qizhi were right in front of the curtain. That trick could hide from others, but it couldn’t hide from them. It was so heavy that Dong Erniang’s legs were still bruised.
Looking at it this way, Mrs. Teng doesn’t seem to be a good person.
***
Mrs. Du poked Teng Yuyi’s forehead lightly: “What the hell are you kidding? Don’t you want to bring that bug to your house?”
Teng Yuyi recalled the actions of the Duan brothers and sisters riding away, and smiled at him. Mrs. Du leaned on her shoulder: “Don’t worry about my aunt, I have a use for me anyway.”
Mrs. Du is also thinking about tonight’s affairs. Judging from Duan Wenyin’s attitude when she left, the divorce between the two will not go so smoothly. Duan Ningyuan is about to The Duan family refused to let Duan Ningyuan be criticized for his conduct at this juncture.
Although everyone present could understand what happened tonight, after all, no one saw the end of the relationship between Duan Ningyuan and Dong Erniang. If the Duan family insisted that it was a misunderstanding, but the Teng family insisted on breaking off the marriage, wouldn’t the fault fall again. On the head of the Teng family?
Is there a way to let everyone know that it’s the Duan family’s fault…
She rubbed her brows, but she hated that she couldn’t think of a good way right now, it was about Yu’er’s life, and Yu’er must not be wronged. Fortunately, my brother-in-law is coming back soon, this matter should be planned as soon as possible.
Suddenly, he remembered something and said in shock, “Look at me, I just listened to you, but I forgot to say thank you to King Chun’an. Tonight, thanks to His Royal Highness’s help, the family was able to move to Ziyun Tower so quickly. , I heard that the Prince Cheng was also sent by His Royal Highness, Yuer, wait in the car, and your aunt will thank you in person.”
Teng Yuyi looked out of the window, “I’m afraid it’s too late, auntie, look.”
Zi In front of the Yunlou Gate, a group of chariots and horses drove away in unison, and in the sound of shouting, countless servants followed. Lin Chengyou walked side by side with a young son in a purple robe and a golden crown, and soon disappeared into the night. The man was graceful and slender, and he was the King of Chun’an.
“It doesn’t matter.” Mrs. Du regretted, “your uncle should also be here soon. We will meet halfway later. I will discuss with your uncle about coming to the door to thank you.” The
coachman waved his whip, and the Teng family carriage also set foot on The way back to the city.
***
Duan Wenyin grabbed the bridle and stopped in front of Duan Ningyuan’s horse, glaring angrily at her younger brother: “What are you going to do?!”
Duan Ningyuan grabbed the reins, opened his mouth to argue something, and finally swallowed it back.
Duan Wenyin said with a sullen face: “You saw it just now, Prince Cheng was injured, and this matter will definitely disturb the palace. If you are involved in this matter at this time, you are not afraid of harming the reputation of the Duke’s Mansion?”
“But it is really going to be sentenced . If you are tortured with a cane, even if you don’t die, you’ll lose half your life.” Duan Ningyuan gritted his teeth, “Although Erniang did something wrong, she did it to save her mother. Sister, I don’t want to help her get rid of her crime, but I am called I don’t care about her, forgive me!”
“That’s her fault!” Duan Wenyin slammed the whip to the ground, “Ning Yuan, you have been very smart since you were young, but you are so confused for a Dong Erniang! Since she has a private meeting with you, she must have heard of the Duan family and the Teng family. She was clearly awake behind the curtain, but let you blame Teng Yuyi, think about it, is she really a kind person?”
Duan Ningyuan choked.
Duan Wenyin sneered again and again: “She really wants you to break off your marriage with Yuyi.”
“Sister!”
“Her father, Dong Mingfu, is waiting for election this year, and was rated as ‘Lower Middle’ by the Ministry of Personnel. I’m afraid it will be released, and you must know that Dong Ming’s mansion has offended Zheng Pushe badly. Now that Zheng Pushe is worshipping the prime minister, the hard days of the Dong family are just beginning. The purpose of the marriage is to get a high-level son-in-law who can help the Dong family.”
Duan Ningyuan’s face became more and more ugly: “Sister, even if you don’t like her, you don’t have to think about her so badly.”
Duan Wenyin snorted coldly . , If she expected her brother to be so deeply entangled, she should have been more ruthless in the first place.
Although she had long been married to Luoyang, she often heard people talk about the daughter of Dong Mingfu in Wannian County. The Dong family, the two thousand gold poets, is a well-known talented woman in Chang’an City.
The younger brother served in the army for three years in Longyoudao. After returning, he met Dong Erniang at a lantern festival. The young men and women fell in love with each other at the beginning. The emotions were often only for a moment, and they had been in secret for more than half a year.
She accidentally learned about this, and in a panic, she immediately forced her younger brother to distance herself from Dong Erniang.
Duan Wenyin was heartbroken: “Tonight, I shouldn’t have promised you to take Dong Erniang to Ziyun Tower. I only thought she was dying, how could she have ulterior motives.
“Let me ask you, her aunt is in urgent need of six yuan pills, why doesn’t she ask you for help in a dignified manner? Grandpa can be considered in front of the saint, if you make up your mind to get six yuan pills for her, it may not be possible. If you can’t get it, Dong Erniang doesn’t come to you, but instead uses this pretext to find the heir to the prince. Have you thought about the reason?”
Duan Ningyuan’s expression changed instantly, Duan Wenyin smiled sarcastically: “You and Yu’er have grown up since childhood. Getting engaged and breaking off the marriage is as hard as heaven. The status of the Prince Cheng is a noble one. So far, no marriage has been discussed. Dong Erniang has set herself high, so how could she have no other plans in her heart? I may not be able to instigate you and Yuer to withdraw from the relationship, hey, I have seen the little lady going around a lot.”
Duan Ningyuan squeezed out a sentence from the gap between his teeth: “She is not this kind of person.”
“She is not this kind of person. People? Her grandfather and brother are not around tonight, she knows that the medicine is not easy to ask for, why did she follow her alone? You want to save her, but you don’t even know what she is thinking!”
Duan Ningyuan’s face was pale , suddenly shaking the reins, Duan Wenyin said in shock: “What are you going to do?”
“Go to Jingzhao Mansion, you need to ask clearly in person.”
“What if she lied to you?” Duan Wenyin sneered.
Duan Ningyuan was silent: “I have my own way to get her to tell the truth!”
“Stop for me! The Teng family is now determined to withdraw from their relatives, but they can’t find any evidence that you and Dong Erniang are private. Go to Dong Erniang. If anyone finds out, no one can stop the Teng family. At that time, everyone will know that you were the first to blame, and everyone will criticize you behind your back. Even if you want to ask clearly, Why don’t you wait for the Teng family to give up the idea of breaking off the marriage?”
Duan Ningyuan reined in the reins abruptly.
“Forget this Dong Erniang. You said before that you didn’t like the daughter of a general, but tonight you also met Yu’er. Although she covered her head and face, in terms of body and bearing, which point is not better than Dong Erniang? She looks like a sister too. Seeing it, she is truly a beauty out of a hundred.”
Duan Ningyuan listened impatiently: “Sister, I can’t wait any longer for Erniang’s affairs. If she is tortured with a cane, she will be injured for the first half of the year even if she is not maimed. Before she is convicted, I must go tonight. The governor is not here, and Meng Fangzhong happened to be on duty recently.”
Duan Wenyin was stunned, and she understood so clearly that she had already made arrangements in advance.
She thought bitterly that her younger brother was in deep mud and needed a potent medicine urgently. Dong Erniang’s troubles like this might not be a bad thing. When her younger brother saw Dong Erniang’s person clearly, he just took this opportunity to make a call.
Duan Wenyin sighed heavily: “Forget it, if you have to go, I can’t stop you, but you must be careful when you go, and don’t give anyone a hand. After tonight, you forget this Dong Erniang for me, take your heart away. Come back and wait for Yu’er to marry Yu’er.”
Duan Ningyuan didn’t answer, it was at the cusp of the storm, and he had to think of a foolproof plan, he repeated it in his mind, and finally made up his mind: “Don’t worry, Dong Erniang and I will neither know how to do it. ‘Meet’, other people don’t know that I have gone to her, this matter will not be leaked, how can I give her a hand?
Sister , go back to the house first, I will go back when I go.
” How far, I met the Du family and their son.
The driver took the lead in reining in the reins: “Master, the eldest son.” The
father and son each rode a horse. It was already sweaty when they came all the way. Du Yu knew that his riding skills were not good, and he was still a little swaying when he got off the horse.
Teng Yuyi and Mrs. Du lifted the curtain of the car to confirm, and hurriedly got out of the car. When they got closer, they found that Du Yuzhi’s face was like golden paper. Mrs. Du hurriedly stepped forward to help: “Don’t worry, sir, Laner has taken the medicine and has already seen her.”
Du Yuzhi grabbed Mrs. Du’s hand, panting and waiting to ask questions. Du Shaotang ran to his mother: “Auntie, where is Auntie? What happened? Hey, cousin Yu?”
Du Yuzhi calmed down and said in surprise. : “Yu’er, why are you with your sister and aunt? Didn’t you say in your letter that you won’t be in Chang’an in two days? By the way, let me take a look at where Lan’er is now.”
Teng Yuyi picked up the important words and replied: “Sister is in the car now, just took the medicine, and it’s not a big problem.”
Du Yu knew that she was not willing to leave, so she was relieved to have to get on the car to see it with her own eyes. Mrs. Du followed him on the car and put the After talking about what happened tonight, he held his daughter’s hand in despair and said: “It’s a great fortune in misfortune. When I meet such a big evil, I can still save a life. Tomorrow, the little Taoist priest of Qingyun Temple will come to visit. , I guess it will be fine after one more recuperation. Look, sir, Laner’s complexion is getting better.”
Du Shaotang squeezed behind and watched silently, with tears in her eyes.
Teng Yuyi looked at this cousin. He was less than eleven years old, just when he was just starting out. He was tall enough, but he was too narrow and thin. His appearance was exactly the same as that of his mother and sister. If she hadn’t tied her hair, she would have been mistaken for a little lady at first glance.
When Du Shaotang was a child, he used to run behind her and her cousin. They played on the swings, and he also played on the swings. They fought daylilies, and he picked flowers for them with a colored basket.
After being beaten a few times by his uncle, Du Shaotang didn’t dare to get tired of being in the house anymore. Later, he entered the National Children’s Prison to study.
I remember my uncle once sighed that it would be good to change the two brothers and sisters. The daughter has a simple and quiet temperament, but she is very assertive.
But my aunt said, “Whose son was born to stand tall? Go out with you when you’re older, and you’ll be fine with more experience.”
After the murder of her cousin in the previous life, her aunt also fell ill, and Teng Yuyi and Du Shaotang were undressed. , Decoction and decoction are boiled under the corridor every day.
Teng Yuyi was running around behind his back because he wanted to investigate the murderer of his cousin, but Du Shaotang was different. He who lost the protection of his mother and sister was like losing the branches and vines.
Teng Yu had a lot of thoughts and thoughts. She didn’t like this cowardly cousin in her previous life. When she met Du Shaotang tonight, the first thing that came to mind was the little figure he chased after when he was young. .
Du Shaotang didn’t know why Teng Yuyi was stunned. He hadn’t seen each other for a long time. Just when they met, cousin Yu saw him crying. He felt embarrassed. He wiped his tears and said softly, “Cousin Yu.
” “Well, wipe it. Sister is fine, you can rest assured now.”
Du Shaotang blushed: “I didn’t cry.”
Teng Yuyi scratched lightly on his cheek, Du Shaotang burst into tears, and Du Yuzhi reprimanded: ” Look at you, how can you be a little arrogant! Your sister can’t stand the wind, what are you doing here, why don’t you go down and open the way.”
Du Shaotang didn’t dare to say a word, and got out of the car honestly, Madam Du was staring through the window He warned: “It’s late at night, the road is not easy to walk, it doesn’t matter if you ride slower, be careful not to fall.” Du
Shaotang said in a sullen voice: “My son understands.”
Du Yuzhi asked a few more questions about the Prince of Chun’an and Prince Cheng , stroked his beard for a moment and said: “Back up the generous gift, and choose another day to go to the door to say thank you. The prince’s mansion is full of horses and horses, and may not be willing to accept our posts. If the prince of the prince refuses to see, we don’t have to go to the door again and again to repay our kindness. ”
Teng Yuyi guessed that my uncle would say this. Uncle is a pedantic and rigid person, and he is the most disdainful of dealing with Tianhuang nobles.
In fact, if I really want to elaborate, the Du family was also a prominent family a hundred years ago, and it was not until the generation of my uncle and grandfather that the Du family slowly declined.
Although my uncle has inherited the ancestral business, the family situation is no longer the same as before, but fortunately, he is talented and famous at a young age. At the age of nineteen, he was awarded a jinshi, and soon he was awarded the school scholar because of the entrance examination system.
Coincidentally, a branch of the Wang family in Taiyuan wanted to choose a son-in-law for their two daughters. The prince married the eldest daughter to Du Yuzhi because he appreciated Du Yuzhi’s talent.
At that time, Chang’an was all admired. He entered the official position at a young age, and married a daughter of a famous family. In the future, Du Yuzhi would definitely have a bright future. Who knew that his uncle was arrogant, and he quickly offended his superiors and colleagues, and was soon found again. If he made a mistake, he was relegated to Yuezhou far away.
Twenty years have passed, and my uncle has become smaller and smaller, and the sourness of his body is getting worse. Last year, he was transferred back to Chang’an with great difficulty. .
Mrs. Du knew her husband’s old problems, and patiently persuaded: “Master’s words are not good, we have nothing to plan, why not be more open, then we will send our posts by ourselves, if His Royal Highness the prince does not see, it’s a big deal to wait for my brother-in-law to return. After Chang’an, let’s go to the door with him again.”
Du Yuzhi sat silent, Teng Yuyi thought he was going to give another high-level speech, but perhaps Du Yuzhi also knew that the Duke of Chun’an was a well-known humble corporal, and in the end he only said :
“When I go back to the mansion to write a post, I will send it to the Prince of Chun’an County tomorrow. The Prince of Chun’an County has not married yet, and there are no family members in the mansion, so you don’t have to go, I will take Shao Tang with me.
” That’s very appropriate.”
Du Yuzhi thought for a while, showing a little bit of jealousy: “As for the prince who became the prince, it is better for us to provoke less, and go to Qingyun Temple another day to offer more incense, and thank his master, the Taoist priest Qing Xuzi. Yes.”
Mrs. Du couldn’t help laughing and crying: “It’s all up to the master’s arrangement.”
Du Yuzhi was about to get out of the car: “Yu’er will have a good rest after returning to the mansion, if something like this happens, your grandfather must be very worried, get up tomorrow morning and give it to your grandfather. Send a letter to report that you are safe, and don’t make excuses!”
Teng Yuyi was not in the mood to argue with his old man at the moment, so she lowered her eyelids and made an obedient appearance: “I understand.
” It is a pass, but after all, the journey is long, and when the group returns to the Qinrenfang where the Du residence is located, it will be long past the ugly time.
Teng Yuyi came all the way from Yangzhou, and packed two large boats with only her luggage. After arriving in Chang’an, Teng Yuyi rushed out of the city because she wanted to save her cousin from the boat, and the servants took advantage of this time to send the luggage to Teng Mansion.
After getting off the car, Teng Yuyi called her maid Qiyun to the front: “I’m staying at my aunt’s house tonight. You can bring a few people to Teng’s house to pick up some commonly used items for me. Don’t forget my little puppet.”
Qiyun snickered, it was a puppet that the wife sewed for the little lady herself before she was alive. The lady has slept with this doll every night since she was five years old.
She hurriedly said, “The maid remembers.”
Teng Yuyi added, “In addition, I will pass on a message to Cheng Bo, the chief steward: choose a few outstanding guards, one in normal clothes, and the others dressed as merchants and pawns in the West Market, arrange Okay, come and talk to me as soon as possible, I’ll be useful.”
Qiyun was full of questions, but she didn’t dare to ask any more, so she went on.
When they got to the backyard, Mrs. Du was taking care of Du Tinglan, while the other was busy setting Teng Yuyi’s bedding: “Your sister knew you were coming, so the first few days have been arranged, the bedding is ready-made, these are your sister’s new clothes. , you clean up and change this.”
Teng Yuyi looked at Du Tinglan, her cousin’s complexion had returned to normal, and her hands and feet were getting warmer.
“Sister is about to wake up, so let me accompany you in
the second half of the night.” “You haven’t had a good rest for the past half month, and you were frightened again tonight. How can you survive it? You can rest at your own discretion, everything is up to your aunt.”
Teng Yuyi Mrs. Du couldn’t resist, so she had to go to wash up first. Hot water was already poured into the tub, but Teng Yuyi was not in a hurry to take a bath, but stood beside the tub and gently wiped the small jade sword with a handkerchief.
Biluo held the towel and came forward: “Give this treasure to the slave to hold it, so you don’t have to touch it.”
“Biluo, do you remember how this sword came from?”
“Why did the lady ask this again? Biluo carefully wrapped the jade sword with a handkerchief. “We came to Chang’an from Yangzhou half a month ago. The lady always stayed in the cabin because she caught the wind and cold. During the rest of the day, the lady said that she was bored and looked at the temples in the Buddhist temple on the shore. The plum blossoms were blooming well, so I said that I would go to the temple to enjoy the flowers and relax. When I got off the boat, the boat swayed suddenly, and the lady accidentally fell into the water. After she was rescued, she had this little sword in her hand. Speaking of which, the plum blossoms of the Buddhist temple on the shore that day It appeared strange, the little lady fell into the water strangely, and this sword was even more strange.”
For example, there are solid stones everywhere under the water, this sword drifts with the current, why is there no damage at all? The bottom of the river is so wide, how did this sword drift into the hands of the lady?
“Both Cheng Bo and Duan Fu thought the sword was ominous, and strongly advocated throwing the sword back into the water, but even if the lady had a high fever and didn’t wake up, she would not let go. Later, Duan Fu planned to invite the monks in the temple to do the trick. Zhi Niang woke up at night, not only was there nothing, but even the previous wind and cold was gone.”
Teng Yuyi watched Xiaojian upside down in her hand, probably because she just woke up, some things she remembered very clearly, some things she didn’t. Forgetting everything, for example, how the sword got into her hands, she has no clue.
She turned her head and asked Biluo: “Do you remember the name of the Buddhist temple on the shore?”
Biluo shook her head. At that time, the whole boat was busy taking care of the lady. The lady finally woke up and urged the boatman to hurry. The ten-day water journey arrived in only half a month.
“How can you still remember these things, maid, if the maid wants to know, wait until the maid asks Cheng Bo tomorrow.”
At this moment, someone outside
said : “Qiyun is back.” The order has been arranged, and now they are waiting outside, Cheng Bo said, “This old slave does not dare to speculate on his own, but looking at this arrangement, the lady seems to be going with someone, so I don’t know who that person is.”
Teng Yuyi slowly descended into the bath. , If Duanfu hadn’t been injured, there would be no need for such trouble, just assigning him alone is enough.
She scooped the water casually: “Follow Duan Ningyuan, he has practiced martial arts all the year round, and his skills are very good. If someone follows him, he will definitely be aware of it, pretend to be a barbarian, and let him know. Follow in secret, don’t reveal Xingzang. As long as Duan Ningyuan and his attendants go to Jingzhao Mansion, they will come over and answer immediately.”
Qiyun and Biluo raised a huge wave in their hearts, is the lady planning to deal with General Duan? .
But after what happened tonight, I should have expected it to be like this. The lady is like a little tiger with sharp claws. As long as someone offends her, she can take a bite of the other person’s flesh without making a sound. General Duan is ruthless. , it is estimated that the “death penalty” was sentenced in the heart of the lady.
It was related to the two families’ resignation. The two knew that they should not be taken lightly, so they quickly said, “Yes, this servant will go to tell Cheng Bo .
”
, I went to the pharmacy to catch a few worms, and I opened the medicine cage and stole two packets of medicine powder and hid them in my arms.
It was the first time that he did such a stealthy thing, and he was inevitably a little nervous.
Fortunately, it was still early, and there was not a single person in the viewing. Jue Sheng was worried at first, and slowly raised his chest. What’s there to be afraid of?
After they returned to Qingyun Temple last night, the senior apprentice immediately ordered two old Taoist priests to help start the altar, but Mrs. Anguo had been poisoned for too long, and her soul had long since dispersed. Fa led the soul of Mrs. Anguo back into her body.
Just as the sage sent someone to inquire about the elder brother’s injury, the elder brother used Jin Dingshu to hang the breath of Mrs. Anguo’s voice and went to the palace to find the sage.
It is estimated that the senior brother is not sure that he can save Mrs. Anguo, so he is eager to return to the palace to inquire about the whereabouts of the master. The master has been traveling for half a year, and no one except the saint knows where the master is. Senior brother, it will take at least an hour or two to come back.
Having said that, there are only three of the serious disciples and grandsons of Qingyunguan, and the rest are all Taoist priests and monks of various schools. These people are poor, sick and old, and they come to Qingyunguan to defect to Qingyunguan.
Master’s face is stingy, but his heart is very soft. As long as he is sure that the other party is not a traitor, he will basically take him in. Over the years, there have been hundreds of people in Qingyunguan.
These people also help with chores and practice chores after they live in them, but because of their old age and frailty, they mostly focus on taking care of their lives on weekdays.
Shizun and his old man expressed acquiescence to this, and his brother never said anything.
After a long time, these people will form a habit. For example, it is not too early now, these old Taoist monks and old monks are still sleeping in their rooms.
When Jue Sheng arrived at the entrance of the scripture hall, he looked up and saw four colorful silk threads hanging above the wellhead in the courtyard.
He was startled and saw a porcelain bowl under each thread, with yarrow in the two bowls on the left and tortoise shells in the two bowls on the right.
This is a routine question before inviting souls. Could it be that Senior Brother is back? Jue Sheng ran to the well in surprise. The tortoise shell already had a hexagram image. The sixth day in the Kun hexagram, this hexagram has the image of yin and qi being born, and it is a real fierce hexagram.
Suddenly hearing someone talking in the hall, Juesheng hurried up the steps and looked in. There were many people inside, except for An Guogong, who was guarding his wife here last night, and an old man with Pang Meihao’s hair. Judging from the appearance of this person , is almost old age.
Jue Sheng recognized this old man as Yu Fengyu from the Shang Pharmacy in the palace, but he didn’t expect his senior brother to come back to the palace, and he actually invited Yu Fengyu as well.
Yu Fengyu sat upright in front of the couch, stroked his beard with one hand, and held the wrist of Duke Anguo with the other, as if he was checking his pulse.
“Yu Fengyu, how’s Duke Cheng?”
The man who spoke was wearing a crown suit and sat opposite Yu Fengyu, with long eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and an extremely elegant appearance.
King of Chun’an? Jue Sheng solemnly bowed his head at the door, the Prince of Chun’an turned his head to look, recognized the little Taoist priest in Guanli, and beckoned him to come in.
Yu Fengyu said: “The leg injury is not a big problem, don’t disturb it anymore, it’s just that the qi and blood are empty, and there is a potential to invade the liver meridian. Son, please take it as soon as possible.”
An Guogong was lying on the couch, his expression was gloomy and anxious, and it was strange that he looked like he wanted to jump down immediately, but he didn’t dare to move.
The King of Chun’an County smiled lightly: “Don’t stare at me, Chengyou gave you acupuncture points, his tricks are so cunning, I can’t understand them.”
An Guogong still stared at the Duke of Chun’an, because he wanted to move too much, and his face was blushing.
The Prince of Chun’an tried to figure out what he meant, and sighed helplessly: “You mean that Chengyou shouldn’t sneak attack on you? This method is really not authentic, but if you don’t do it, how can you restrain you? I’ve been by Mrs. Zun’s side all night, and even my iron body can’t stand it.”
An Guogong sighed and closed his eyes with a slight trembling.
At this moment, the door on the side opened, and Lin Chengyou led the
