Butter tea is a special food in Tibet, and Gu Yin has traveled there.
At first, she was also a little uncomfortable with it. After eating it a few times, she felt that it was unique. After she went back, she fiddled with it.
But the bowl in my hand smelled different.
She frowned slightly, and Wu Qing asked aloud, "But what's wrong?"
Gu Yin said: "I can't tell you either, the faint smell is not right. It seems to have the smell of medicinal herbs."
To be a cook, a keen sense of smell and taste is a must. Since Gu Yin said it, there must be something wrong.
Wu Qingyi stood up, "Why don't you ask my master to take a look."
The old medical immortal lived in the mansion, so it wasn't too much trouble to invite him over, at most Wu Qingyi went over to invite him after being chanted a few words.
Not long after, the old doctor in front of the doctor and everyone rushed to use it together. Just after going back to rest, he was invited over again, and he was still muttering in a low voice: "It's not a good thing, it's definitely not a good thing!"
But after the mumbling, after Gu Yin explained, the old doctor turned his face, and immediately checked the bowl of butter tea.
Not long after, the old man reported the names of several medicinal herbs, and since there was no one who was present with knowledge of pharmacology, he explained again: "This is a medicine that causes people to lose their voices and cannot speak!"
Gu Yin immediately looked at Gu Ye, and Gu Ye said, "Brother Xiaofeng, someone sent a message to me in front of me, saying that his throat has been dry and sore recently, and he might have to rest someday. He asked the doctor to take a look, but The doctor said he was just tired and angry. He didn't say he was poisoned."
The old doctor waved his hand and said, "These herbs are not poisonous in themselves, it's just the mixing of several different medicines that are poisonous and hurt people's bodies. Moreover, ordinary doctors have no way of knowing about this recipe, and I heard that some high-profile families , If the servants know a terrible secret, they will give them this kind of food, and a few medicines will make people unable to speak again in this life, and naturally they will keep their secrets."
"That little brother Feng..."
"The child's drug resistance is not as good as that of an adult. He can still speak and even sing, but he has not eaten much. He is also lucky. I have only heard about this medicine, but I have not studied it. If he really eats it badly Throat, I can't get any antidote for a while." The old doctor said very seriously.
Gu Ye nodded again and again and asked Gu Yin, "Mother, can I take Brother Xiaofeng over?"
Although the old doctor said that Xiao Fengxian must not lose her voice at the moment, she must let the old doctor see it in person to make people feel at ease.
Gu Yin thought about it and then said: "Pomegranate set the car and said that we have a relative who likes to listen to the opera and want to see him, so I invite him to come over for the concert. It's fine later, we have a lot of houses around and live in It's the same with our family. Remember to behave as usual."
Song Shiliu helped to run a few errands in front of him, and his work became more and more efficient. He immediately got a car and went to the Lucky Theater to spread the word.
The night show at Jixiang Theater has already started, and it will not end until the curfew is about to end.
Song Shiliu had followed the Wang family to listen to the play several times, and she was considered an old acquaintance here.
But she doesn't have the privilege to go backstage, so she can only let people pass the word.
Brother Xiaofeng ate the loquat Sydney cream sent by Gu Ye before, and felt a little better. But until now, the throat has started to burn again, and even speaking has become a problem.
At this time, he must rest immediately, but since someone from Gu Ye's family invited him, he immediately removed his makeup and changed his clothes.
The pretty Huadan who got off the stage with him heard that a maid from Gu Ye's family had come to invite Jiao'er to sing, so she came out with Brother Xiaofeng.
Song Shiliu brought a cloak that Gu Ye often wore at home, and when he saw Brother Xiaofeng put it on him, he was about to leave.
The pretty Huadan quickly said, "This girl, I'm the Huadan in the troupe. If you want to invite someone, won't you invite me along?"
The people in the troupe naturally had no way of knowing that Gu Ye was behind the British government, they only knew that he was the young master of the family.
But people who own such a big restaurant are also very rich in the eyes of these people.
Please come over once and sing the last one. The host has to give a reward anyway. A little bit of leakage in his hand is enough for people like them to chew for half a year and a year.
That's why the pretty girl came over here specially.
Seeing that the curfew is about to be held, although Song Shiliu brought his own waist badge, it would be quite difficult for the soldiers to stop him. So Song Shiliu didn't have time to talk to him, and while walking out with Brother Xiaofeng, he said, "Our wife only invites Brother Xiaofeng."
The two of them together with the servants Song Shiliu brought out, blew away like a gust of wind.
Because of this incident at the front desk, the pretty girl was rushing to go with people, but the fact that they were left behind caught many onlookers.
At the moment, some good people sneered, mocking the pretty Huadan, generally not seen by fans, only those who made money, disliked the poor and loved the rich, but didn't want others to be really rich, and they looked down on him!
The Hua Dan was said to be blushing, ashamed and angry, but the owner of the garden came out to relieve the siege and told the spectators to go home before the curfew.
When everyone dispersed, the owner of the garden advised him: "Don't have the same knowledge as those people. Wait a minute, and when Brother Xiaofeng is silent, everyone will naturally only remember you."
Hearing this, Hua Dan's face brightened.
He admits that no matter his voice or appearance, whether in Jingu or in the capital, he is outstanding.
But Brother Xiaofeng is getting stronger every day, especially in recent days, he has grown a bit longer, and he is looking at another two years, as long as he survives the collapse smoothly, he will push himself down, how can Hua Dan not be in a hurry
That's why he thought about taking over the olive branch from the owner of the garden and switching to the garden owner's own play troupe.
But at the back of Xiaofeng, Gu Ye provided the playbook, which is really a good book.
He just stayed.
But in the two dramas, although he sang the protagonist, he always made Brother Xiaofeng stand out.
Just like the second "Kindness", Xiaofeng sang a stubborn little sister-in-law who was embarrassing his sister-in-law.
But under his interpretation, although this little girl is bad, she is stupid.
For example, when her sister-in-law was washing clothes by the river, she wanted to push her sister-in-law into the river, but her sister-in-law just turned around and she fell into it herself.
She also gave her sister-in-law croton powder to make her look embarrassed in front of others. As a result, she made a mistake in her memory and ate the bowl with croton by herself, and then made a condescension in front of everyone, almost embarrassing herself to death.
This kind of stupid person who can't harm others at all, but instead harms himself, is humorous and interesting, not annoying, and always makes people laugh when they do ridiculous things.
In particular, Xiaofeng's appearance is also beautiful day by day, and the audience is naturally more tolerant of his role.
On the contrary, she is a pretty girl. Although she has the heaviest role in the scene, she has a tendency to be unable to suppress the supporting role of Brother Xiaofeng.
He felt that Brother Xiaofeng was deliberately stepping on him like this to show him.
The so-called Huadan refers to a female character with a lively, flamboyant, and comedic character. He is also famous for singing Hua Dan, which is why he has the nicknames "Sai Diao Chan" and "Pretty Hua Dan".
But since she arrived in the capital, the book that the owner of the garden gave them naturally couldn't have been tailor-made, and most of what she sang was biased towards the role of Zhengdan in Tsing Yi.
But they are not the owner's own people, so don't think about it for her.
But Brother Xiaofeng is not, Brother Xiaofeng is the class leader. Why don't you know how to think about him
The playbook was written by Brother Xiaofeng's friend, and the character given to him was still a little daughter-in-law who was mainly in grief, so he couldn't make him stand out at all.
Once like this, the second time like this, Qiao Huadan thinks he did it on purpose!
Not long ago, the owner of the garden again persuaded him to leave this rotten opera troupe. He was heartbroken and tangled. Of course, the entanglement was no longer the love he had in the past, but the thought of leaving Brother Xiaofeng, but there was no such good playbook anymore.
But the owner of the garden told him, it's not that he wants to get Xiaofeng brother, it's that the dignitaries of the big family don't like him.
After this errand is done, you can get a sum of money, and people can't find out how Xiao Feng is dumb.
It's a common thing to fail in singing, not only during the period of changing voices, but also those who are too tired to lose their voices.
At that time, Brother Xiaofeng didn't know that he was being harmed by others, and only thought that it was because of his own body, which affected the troupe.
Naturally, he wouldn't keep the playbook for himself, and he had to share it with Qiao Huadan as compensation.
Shiweitian cooperated with him, not just because the young master's family Gu Ye and him are good friends. Could it be that Brother Xiaofeng lost his voice and Shiweitian stopped advertising
By then, they will naturally be cheaper.
The medicine powder that made people lose their voices was divided into several times by the two of them, and they were put into Brother Xiaofeng's daily diet.
Thinking of this, the pretty Huadan felt a lot more at ease, and finally no longer bothered about this matter.
…
Brother Xiaofeng was taken to the British government by Song Shiliu.
At the time of curfew, people usually rested long ago, and the streets were pitch black.
But there are still two big red lanterns hanging in front of the British government's mansion, shining on the plaque, and the golden lacquer sign is glowing red, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is shining at night.
Brother Xiaofeng's legs were weak.
Song Shiliu picked him up and entered the mansion.
The Wang family had already accompanied Wu Zhong to rest first. There were only Gu Yin and Wu Qingyi, the old doctor fairy, and of course Gu Ye, who was a worried friend.
"Ma'am, the servant has invited someone." Song Shiliu entered the room, staring in a sleepy state, while still not forgetting to answer.
Gu Yin asked her to go to sleep quickly.
Because she was doing errands for herself, Gu Ye also said: "Pomegranate rests tomorrow, and it's okay to sleep until noon."
Song Shiliu's face turned red. Since she hit the British government, she has a sense of crisis, for fear that others will steal the position of the first maid. So work more diligently than before.
But she is at the age of long body. The earlier she gets up and the more work she does, it also means that she will be hungry in the afternoon and sleepy in the afternoon.
Gu Yin and Wang Shi didn't see her as a person, but as a family member.
Especially Wang Shi, who is most fond of the younger generation, will naturally not deduct her food and rest time.
So she usually only does one morning's work, and eats the same good dishes as Wang's and the others at noon, with two big bowls of rice, and then goes to take a nap after eating.
In the afternoon, when Mrs. Wang was fine, she didn't go to look for her. Often, as soon as she fell asleep, she would be gone in the middle of the afternoon.
Sleeping in again tomorrow is equivalent to resting all day.
"No no, slaves still have to get up early." Song Shiliu blushed and resigned.
The more Gu Yin looked at her, the more fun she became. If it weren't for the serious business at the moment, she would still want to tease her again.
Brother Xiaofeng entered the house behind Song Shiliu. After entering the house, he immediately took off his cloak and saluted everyone.
Gu Ye grabbed him and said, "Don't be so polite, just be the same as before."
Brother Xiaofeng looked at him, and his heart felt unreasonably warm.
In the past, he thought he was the son of a wealthy businessman, and he was willing to make friends with a generation of three religions and nine-class people like himself.
He never imagined that his friend was such a prominent young master. This is no longer a simple word to describe him. He didn't know how to repay this respect.
As he spoke, Gu Ye explained to him in a few words that someone had been drugged in the butter tea.
Brother Xiaofeng was very surprised, and the old doctor gave him a pulse and said, "Fortunately, I don't eat much, so it doesn't have much effect. Your throat should just be dry and itchy recently, right?"
Brother Xiaofeng nodded and said yes, and the old medical fairy continued: "I will prescribe a few antidote for you. If you take a good rest for a while, you will be the same as before."
When Brother Xiaofeng heard this, his face became more solemn, and he asked, "How long do I have to rest?"
The old doctor made the calculations, "Because there is no antidote, I will talk about a year and a half less, and a year or two more."
He took two steps back with a white face. In half a year and a year, he must have changed his voice, and he must rest again during that time.
If it goes well, you have to take a year and a half of rest, if it doesn't go well, you have to take a break for a few years, and you won't even be able to sing in the future.
The old doctor immortal comforted: "It's just that you don't sing for this time, it doesn't mean that you can't speak."
Brother Xiaofeng shook his head with a white face.
Why did he let the class master open the night show during this time
Presumably because he knew that he was getting old, he was about to close his position, and wanted to take advantage of this time to earn more money.
Not for myself, but for the entire troupe.
Naturally, that pretty girl is not worried about a way out, but the other small characters in the troupe, the little dragons, have no skills, but they are not young. If they don't save some money for them, they will have nowhere to go.
At this point, what he thinks most is not who will give him medicine, but the fear that he can no longer support the livelihood of these people.
Gu Ye silently patted his shoulder and asked him about butter tea.
Brother Xiaofeng said: "Today's butter tea was sent by the owner of the garden. I didn't have a good relationship with him. I didn't want to touch the food he sent. I ate it. Now that I think about it, the senior brother often finds some rare food to eat with me... I still felt strange before, thinking that in order to maintain his figure, he is not a person who pays attention to appetite, and asked I passed him. I think I came here to dispel my doubts, so this time the butter tea was delivered by the owner of the garden."
That medicine powder is not a colorless and odorless poison, and it is easy for people to notice that the taste is wrong when it is put into ordinary food. So they chose the kind of food that Xiao Feng had never eaten before.
Unexpectedly, it was precisely because of this that Gu Ye took the buttered tea home, and Gu Yin, who knew what butter tea should taste like, discovered the flaw.
"These two vicious people!" Gu Ye looked at Gu Yin indignantly, "Mother, can we report to the officials?"
Gu Yin frowned and pondered, and after a while, said: "The old doctor said that this medicine is not common among the people, and it is something hidden by a wealthy family. Where did the garden owner and Nadanjiao come from? We reported it to the official, those two Naturally, people can't run away, but it is hard to guarantee that they are concerned about the identity of the other party and dare not confess truthfully.
"Then what should I do?" Gu Ye became worried and scratched his head habitually.
Gu Yin looked at the old doctor fairy and smiled ingratiatingly.
The old doctor was chilled by her laughter, and hurriedly said: "If the daughter-in-law has something to say, don't laugh at the old man, the old man panics!"
Gu Yin said angrily: "You are Qingyi's master, so naturally you are no different from my master. Why does the master speak like this, and the disciple-in-law treats you as her own master. What's wrong with smiling at you?"
The old doctor immortal was even more anxious than her, urging her to think of a way to quickly say, don't leave it here to make things right!
Gu Yin smiled and said, "Just trouble Master and distribute some of this medicine."
The old medical fairy is helpless. He is a medical fairy, not a poison fairy. He has never dispensed poison at all, and he said before that he knows very little about the medicinal powder of this kind of high-profile family, and he has to dispense similar medicines. , is this really using him as a living fairy
But Gu Yin was a master's intimacy. He really couldn't refuse, so he could only nod his head and say, "I know, I'll go back and read the classics, and I'll match it for you in two days."
…
Brother Xiaofeng lived in the British government for two days before returning to the theater.
Of course, he did not miss his business for two days. He still went back to sing the opera at the time, but he went there every time, and brought the servants of the British government to bring him food and drink, and left immediately after singing.
The owner of the garden and Hua Dan naturally had no chance to take the medicine again. The two of them didn't know much about the medicine, and they were afraid that if they stopped taking it, it would be ineffective.
Brother Xiaofeng didn't leave the garden that day, so the garden owner and Hua Dan repeated the old tricks.
This time, the owner of the garden asked people to buy the goat milk soup from outside. This thing is not uncommon, but it has a fishy smell, which can also cover up the smell of the medicine powder.
When the two went to the backstage together, Brother Xiaofeng just took a rest. Not only him, but also Gu Ye.
I don't know if it was because of the busyness in the past two days, Xiaofeng brother looked very tired and his eyes were dim.
The owner of the garden entered the house and said distressedly: "My God, you see that you are tired, so you have to make up for it! This is the goat milk soup I just bought from outside, you can take a bite."
Brother Xiaofeng didn't refuse this time, took the yogurt soup into his hands, and said apologetically, "It's all due to the garden owner and senior brother being thorough these days, and I'm the only one who eats this good food when I come back, how can I feel so happy? Go? Why don't we eat together?"
The owner and Hua Dan naturally quickly refused.
Gu Ye sat next to him, sniffed the smell and said, "I'm a little hungry too, why don't we share it."
This remark made both the garden owner and Hua Dan change their faces in fright.
Everyone knows that this is the young master who eats for the sky. If they really eat him, they will not be able to bear the consequences!
But at this point, there is no turning back. The owner of the garden said: "It doesn't matter. You are not the only one who has it. I bought a lot. You can eat this bowl first, and I will send someone three bowls over."
Not long after the other three bowls of goat milk soup were delivered, Brother Xiaofeng put down the bowl in his hand and put it in one place with them.
The same yogurt and the same bowl, the owner of the garden and Hua Dan are staring closely, for fear of getting it wrong.
After listening to Gu Ye's eyes shifting, he exclaimed: "Why is there a hole in this robe?"
Opera robes are very important to people in Liyuan, especially now that "The Story of Kinship" is being sung.
The owner of the garden and Hua Dan subconsciously got up to look at the robe next to him, but they looked at Gu Ye and said regretfully, "It turned out to be a fly, I was wrong, why are there still flies in the first month?"
The owner of the garden smiled unnaturally and said, "There are many people in the theater, and everyone has it. It's not uncommon to have a little bug."
Then the owner of the garden and Hua Dan turned to go back, and out of the corner of the eye seemed to see that Gu Ye, who was standing by the table, seemed to be busy with something.
But the two of them left the table in the blink of an eye, so they didn't think much about it.
"Drink it, drink it," Gu Ye smiled, "Goat milk won't taste good when it's cold."
Brother Xiaofeng picked up the bowl in front of him first, and the other three followed suit.
Brother Xiaofeng and Gu Ye only had a taste. The owner of the garden and Hua Dan ate up their bowls because they wanted to persuade Brother Xiaofeng to drink more.
Gu Ye picked up his little cloak and prepared to leave, and finally said apologetically: "I was too naughty just now. When you were going to see the robe, I knocked the table and moved the bowl. Fortunately, not much was spilled. Didn't knock the bowl off."
In a word, the owner of the garden and Hua Dan were frightened.
The two sent him away tremblingly, and quickly compared the taste of the medicine powder with the mutton soup they had just eaten.
Unfortunately, the medicine powder has been used up. When they prescribed the medicine, they knew that it was poisonous, so they naturally didn't smell it carefully. They only had a general impression.
The owner of the garden comforted: "We did go to see the robe just now, but we didn't get too far left and right. If the movement is too big, we will naturally see it. I think that Master Gu just touched it a little, and didn't change ours. bowl."
Only then did Hua Dan feel more at ease, and nodded again and again.
However, when they got up the next day, both the garden owner and Hua Dan felt itchy and sore in their throats, and the fire was burning.
The two immediately met and discussed again.
"How could this happen?" The owner of the garden was puzzled, "Could it be that Master Gu bumped the contents of Brother Xiaofeng's bowl into our bowl?"
The two of them were recruited together. Naturally, this is the only way to explain it.
Hua Dan was about to cry in a hurry, his voice was his life!
"The owner of the garden, go to the family to find the antidote!" Hua Dan urged in a hoarse voice.
The owner of the garden was still hesitant, but later when he heard that Brother Xiaofeng suddenly stopped speaking today, he was also frightened - the last dose of medicine was added the most, although he didn't know what happened, but most of them were It's a trick, I really lost my voice just like Brother Xiaofeng, but it's too late!
The owner of the park immediately made an excuse to go out and find a doctor for Brother Xiaofeng, and ran out of the theater to contact the steward who gave him medicine powder.
