Chapter 29: Overnight (catch worms)

Views:

That skinny horse actually understands medicine.

This is indeed what Lu Yan didn't expect.

After confirming that Shen Zhen was okay and giving her the medicine, he got up and went to Dongli Garden in the north.

Since Lu Yan took over as Shao Yin of Jingzhao House, Zheng Jingzhao said to him the most: Don't believe anyone except evidence.

If Fu Man really saved people unintentionally, that's all, the most fearful thing is that she did it intentionally.

Lu Yan secretly observed the path, and outlined the process of Shen Zhen coming to the warehouse in his mind.

The road is narrow and deep, there is melting snow on the ground, and she is still holding the picture scroll in her hand, so it is not impossible for her to slip unintentionally.

Thinking of this, Lu Yan squatted down, reached out and touched the blue-gray stone steps, and rubbed it again.

No exception.

He continued to walk forward.

Behind the pine and bamboo pavilion in front of you is Dongli Garden.

As soon as Lu Yan entered the door, Madam Liu immediately put down the charcoal fire in her hand and shouted with a smile, "Master."

Lu Yan stood not far away and said coldly, "Where's Auntie?"

Madam Liu was originally from the Zhao family. She had seen dignitaries, not to mention hundreds or thousands, but as long as they were nobles in Yangzhou City, from the governor's mansion to all the wealthy businessmen, she had seen them.

But among these people, none of them are as handsome as Young Master Wei. Come to think of it, Fu Man is also lucky.

She hurriedly smiled and said, "Auntie Man is inside." After saying this, she felt that it was not enough, so she added another sentence, "Auntie looks forward to your coming every day, and she may be so happy when you come. "

With that said, Madam Liu took two steps forward and pushed open the door of the inner room for Lu Yan.

Walking into the house, Lu Yan was not surprised and looked at Fu Man who was sitting on the couch. Her eyes were very calm, as if she knew she would come early in the morning.

Lu Yan raised his hand and waved away Madam Liu.

Madam Liu was stunned to see his actions.

Even if she was thinking of listening in, but the identity of the master and servant was placed here, she couldn't tolerate her refutation, so she could only bow down and retreat.

The door slammed shut with a squeak.

Lu Yan looked at Fu Man and said calmly, "Tell me, why are you good at medicine?" You know, if she prescribed a prescription today, it could still be said that she read it in a book, but there is no point in making bones with bare hands. Skill, is absolutely impossible.

When their eyes met, Fu Man said softly: "As long as Lang Jun can come to the concubine's room for the night tonight, the concubine will tell you everything and never hide it."

Lu Yan frowned slightly, and was about to speak, but Fu Man stretched out his index finger, pointed to the outside, and made a "shush" gesture towards him.

He suddenly understood the meaning of the thin horse.

Co-authoring with her and the old woman outside is not the same.

Because Lu Yan didn't speak for a long time, Fu Man was a little anxious and said, "I don't dare to threaten you with this. I just hope that you will give me a chance in the face of Lord Zhao."

Lu Yan's eyes stayed on her face for a moment.

Then he said, "Aren't you a threat?"

Fu Man shook his head at him, "Concubine dare not."

Lu Yan pushed the wrench on his hand, and pondered what she had just said before saying after a while: "Tonight, you'd better recruit from the truth. My Wei family can't tolerate unidentified people."

This sentence is both cooperation and beating.

Lu Yan slammed the door and left.

After Lu Yan left, Madam Liu hurriedly entered the room, attached to Fu Man's ear, and gritted her teeth: "The old slaves tell the little lady to leave the Aunt Qin alone, it's all right, Lang Jun knows that you know medical skills, you should be How to explain it! And the medicine that Master Zhao explained, how do you want to take it?"

Fu Man smiled and quickly reassured Madam Liu, "Have you not seen it yet? Lang Jun loves Aunt Qin as much as his heart. If I don't care about Aunt Qin today, does Mammy think he will come?"

When Madam Liu heard this, her eyes were a little slow, and then she said, "Is it okay for the little lady?"

Fu Man nodded, "I just need to tell him that I was adopted by a doctor, and Lord Zhao has already erased my identity, where can he go to check? Besides, who would dare to reach out to the governor's house? ?"

Madam Liu felt that what she said was reasonable, so she nodded and said in a soft tone, "Then Aunt Qin's appearance can be regarded as an old servant today, even better than you. Remember to use some incense and hook him up, or else if tonight is over, I'm afraid that all previous efforts will be lost."

"I know Mommy." Fuman said.

After Mama Liu went out, Fu Man frowned and took a deep breath.

After Lu Yan left Dongli Garden, he hurried out of the house. When he came back, it was already evening.

Shen Zhen is having dinner.

The dim yellow light shone on her body through the pick-up window, Shen Zhen had no hair today, and her black and soft blue silk hung down obediently like that.

Like her people.

Shen Zhen raised her head to see him, the corners of her lips were slightly raised, and she said in a barely audible voice, "Why did your lord come back so early today?"

Lu Yan whispered: "I have nothing to do today." Then he put a bottle of medicine on the table.

Shen Zhen took it and shook it, "Is this for me?"

Lu Yan nodded, "The medicine in the morning is to remove blood stasis, it is to remove scars." Shen Zhen loves beauty, he also sees it in his eyes.

Just the scars she left on the 24th Bridge in Yangzhou that day. In fact, the scar was not serious, only less than an inch long, but she often stared at it and sighed when she was done.

As soon as she heard that the scar was removed, Shen Zhen's eyes lit up, she quickly took it and thanked him.

Tangyue saw that Shizi had come back early, so she hurriedly added a pair of bowls and chopsticks.

Shen Zhen was not hungry in the first place, but now that she has something in her mind, she has no appetite at all.

At this moment, she just wanted to go back to the house to take medicine immediately.

Lu Yan glanced at her eager look, reached out and patted the back of her head, and said coldly, "If you don't eat, you are not allowed to go anywhere."

As soon as these words came out, Shen Zhen's whole body seemed to be poured cold water.

But she didn't dare to contradict him.

Shen Zhen has always been very particular about dining, always quietly and unhurriedly. Speaking of which, it was the first time that Lu Yan saw her without raising his head.

In a blink of an eye, the tableware was clean, and even the bone broth in the bowl was almost drank.

She looked up at her, her black eyes were bright, her lips were lightly pursed, and even if she didn't say a word, Lu Yan knew what she was going to say.

"Okay, let's go."

Shen Zhen quickly waved to Tangyue, "Come and help me."

Seeing her limping, Lu Yan couldn't help shaking his head from behind.

Are all lame, still thinking about beauty

After dinner, Lu Yan went to the study and screened over and over again the Western Domain list handed over by the dark pile.

Turning to the last page, he tapped the table top with his index finger.

Baijia, the surname of the Han people. interesting.

When I looked up, it was already dark.

When he returned to Chunxi Hall, Shen Zhen was sitting on the couch, holding a candle in one hand and applying medicine to himself in the other, occasionally making a "hiss".

Lu Yan walked over and took the medicine jar in her hand naturally.

Looking at the two "fat legs" at the moment, he couldn't help sneering: "You can fall like this when you go to the warehouse. You are also capable."

His tone was still as unfriendly as always, cold and rigid, as if he had to be ashamed of what people said before he was willing to give up.

If placed a month ago.

Hearing such words, Shen Zhending blushed, but he got used to it after spending more time with him.

How picky he is, she has already experienced it.

It is best to turn a deaf ear to his words.

Lu Yan was putting medicine on her, but Shen Zhen raised his hand and poked his eyes, whispering: "Sir, you should rest." These days he almost leaves early and returns late, and his eyes are a little blue. .

Lu Yan took a look and said to her, "I'm going to Dongli Garden tonight, you don't have to wait for me, go to bed earlier."

Go to Dongli Garden.

What does this mean, Shen Zhen naturally heard it.

But if you ask her what she's feeling right now, she'll probably be a little surprised. Surprised by this mighty Prince Zhenguo, he still succumbed.

Lu Yan raised her eyes and stared into her eyes motionlessly. Before she could say anything next, she heard Shen Zhen softly say ok.

Other than that, nothing else.

The color of the man's eyes gradually deepened, and he couldn't help but exert a little energy.

It just happened to be in the position where Shen Zhen was bruised.

She let out a painful "ah".

Lu Yan's face solidified, and he directly covered the medicine jar and threw it aside.

Heart snorted coldly.

Where is he going to spend the night, is it necessary to explain to her in an outer room

Thinking of this, he turned and left.

The night wind is cool. Hour two quarters.

Knowing that "Young Master Wei" was coming to spend the night, Madam Liu was waiting at the door early in the morning.

He walked slowly into the inner room, walked to the desk, sat down, and fixed his eyes on Fu Man, "Let's talk."

Fu Man glanced at Madam Liu and clenched her fists, so she said, "Why don't you wait and listen again?"

Madam Liu echoed, "Yes, why should I be in such a hurry, sir." After speaking, what should he do if he turned around and left

As soon as these words came out, Lu Yan frowned immediately.

According to the rules of the government of Zhenguo, when the master speaks, how can there be a place for the servants to speak

He glanced at him and said, "Mommy, step back."

Madam Liu was unwilling to retire. After all, there were some things that she didn't keep her eyes on, and she was always worried, so she bowed and said, "This is the first time for a young lady to leave the cabinet, and it is inevitable that she will not take good care of her for the first time, old slave. Dare to stay and help."

According to the folklore, it is indeed helpful to say that a woman is the first to accept her kindness. But most of them only use the concubine in the man's room, and I have never heard of anyone using a wife.

To be able to say such mad words, I think it is this slave who uses the identity of Zhao's house to oppress people.

Lu Yan picked up the tea cup on the table, raised his hand, and threw it on the ground.

"Who taught you the rules?"

Madam Liu was frightened by the sound of the cup shattering, and said tremblingly, "But Master Zhao..."

Lu Yan interrupted her, "This is the Wei family! If you want to go back to Zhao's house, you can go out from Luyuan tomorrow."

Madam Liu was completely panicked now. No matter what she did, she was still an old woman, and the person in front of her was a fourth-rank official of the court. The aura of an official for a long time was definitely not something that an old woman could endure. living.

Madam Liu wanted to explain, "That's not what the old slave meant... The old slave..."

"Want me to say it again?"

Madam Liu saw that his attitude was firm, and she didn't dare, she blushed and bowed back.

After Mama Liu left, the room returned to silence.

Fu Man stepped forward, poured a glass of water for Lu Yan, and said softly, "I also ask Langjun to calm down."

Lu Yan took it, glanced at the water calmly, then raised his cuffs and took a sip.

Fuman watched his Adam's apple slide and became calm.

After a while, she calculated that the time was almost up, then she clenched her fists and said in a low voice, "Fu Man wants to make a deal with Young Master Wei."

Hearing the name changed, Lu Yan narrowed his eyes, put down the tea cup, and said in a low voice, "Tell me?"

"In the water that Young Master Wei was drinking, there is the medicine that Master Zhao ordered me to take. Once I drink it, I will drink it every day. If it continues, it will be fine. If it breaks for three days, I will worry about my life."

Fuman paused and said, "I have an antidote."

Lu Yan glanced at her with more interest, "Conditions."

"I beg Master Wei to give me two thousand guans and let me go."

Lu Yan picked up the teacup and handed it to her: "When did the Xunlingzi of the Western Regions be worth 2,000 cups?"

As soon as the words fell, Fu Man was shocked.

This medicine is colorless and tasteless, and it is also a medicine from the Western Regions. How could he, a Jingzhou merchant, know

"Young Master Wei didn't drink just now?" Fu Man's heart was pounding, trying his best to hide his unease.

Lu Yan nodded.

This sequel was recorded in a book called "Medicine Classic" in Jingzhao House. Although it was colorless and odorless, when it was mixed into water, the water quality turned yellow, and there were some green impurities at the bottom of the cup.

This book was left to them when the previous Jingzhao Yin returned to his hometown.

But there is an antidote, and he still listens to it once.

He looked into Fu Man's eyes and said, "I'll only give you one chance, don't use the color scheme, or I'll have to send you back to the Prefect's Mansion overnight." After that, he pointed to Madam Liu outside, "Together with with your mother."

"Tell me, what is your real name?" Lu Yan said.

Hearing this, Fu Man's eyes widened and panic appeared on his face, but he still bit the bullet and said, "I don't know what Young Master Wei means by this."

"Think about it." Lu Yan said unhurriedly: "But you can also say first, when did you come to Yangzhou from the Western Regions. If I were to speak, Miss Bai would have no chance."

In fact, Lu Yan didn't have much information about her. Judging from the list of suspicious people in the Western Regions handed over by Yang Zong, the only thing that could match her age, appearance, and medical skills was that there was a Bai family in the Western Regions who had been practicing medicine for generations.

The youngest daughter of the Bai family has a marriage contract, but since last year, she has disappeared for no reason.

He said her surname directly, intending to attack her heart.

Fu Man fell to the ground and said in disbelief, "Young Master Wei is a member of the imperial court?"

Lu Yan was noncommittal.

"Can Young Master Wei save my brother?" Fu Man whispered.

Lu Yan said: "Miss Bai, the transaction is not done like this. Now you should tell me everything you know, and I will consider whether to save you or not."

Fu Man wiped his tears and calmed down for a long time. She knew this was her only chance.

The candles in the house flickered gently, and she whispered: "My mother was originally a wizard from the Western Regions, and my father was from Xingping, Shaanxi. After that, only my brother and I were left to run the Bai family, but just a year ago, a group of people from the Baijia Pharmacy suddenly broke in and took us to Yangzhou. They threatened my brother with my life to make drugs for them... According to As far as I know, the county magistrates and many wealthy businessmen in the city of Yangzhou have all been spared."

Speaking of this, Fu Man covered his face with both hands, "Our Bai family walks the rivers and lakes and has never harmed anyone."

Lu Yan's eyes deepened, and what she said was indeed believable. After all, not many people know about the "Medicine Classic".

For some unknown reason, he looked at Fuman's face and suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

Can't tell, but it's familiar.

Western Regions.

The surname is Bai.

Lu Yan suffocated, and suddenly said in a hoarse voice, "What's your brother's name?" Because they had been checking women around seventeen years old, they didn't notice that she also had a brother.

Fuman raised his head and replied honestly, "Bai Daonian."

The voice fell to the ground, Lu Yan's pupils shrank, his heart plummeted, and he heard the "humming" sound in his mind again.

Everything in his dream reappeared in front of him.

Bai Dao Nian…
