Being exposed by Mr. Huang on the spot, Duanmu Xinmiao didn't blush at all, and said sternly: "Aunt Huang, it's for the sake of young lady like you that I gave up a pair of bracelets. I will make a medicine bracelet for her, and then I will take care of my concubines." It’s convenient to start with. It’s not like you don’t know how good the medicinal bracelets I make are. There is no smell of medicine at all, and no other doctor can detect it. So even if you don’t have a concubine, who will you, my young lady, look like in the future? The lady doesn't like it, so I'd like to give her a bracelet, and it will be done once and for all without any bad reputation. How nice is it? If I hadn't been able to find a good enough jade recently, I would still be kind to her, so I wouldn't want to take advantage of her! "
Mrs. Huang was afraid that Chief Wei Ying would be tempted, so she coughed dryly: "That's because, Miss Eight, all your good jade jewelry were destroyed when you soaked it in the concoction. So many pieces of jewelry only make up a pair of bracelets. The bracelet you are interested in now is a betrothal gift given to our young lady by the Shen family and cannot be destroyed. "
If it weren't for Duanmu Xinmiao's chance of success being so low, Huang would have helped her persuade Wei Zhangying - Shen Zangfeng doesn't have a concubine now, and it's fine for the couple, but it would be awkward to keep such a thing. The trump card! It may not only be used to deal with concubines, but it can be passed down to descendants as a weapon.
Even the one success he had so far was exposed. Although Duanmu Xinmiao was shameless enough, he was speechless at this moment. He could only say bitterly: "This young lady of yours is very wealthy. What's more, she will have a dowry after she leaves the cabinet. It's extraordinary." It’s not easy for a young lady like me who has not left the palace and has no property of her own to find a lot of good jade. If this one doesn’t work, why don’t I change it? As long as the water quality is good, I don’t have to have this one.”
Wei Changying's anger subsided because she interrupted the topic. When Huang came out again, he lost the interest in arguing with her and said calmly: "Jade jewelry like that is something you can only find but cannot find. You can buy it with more money.”
Duanmu Xinmiao looked at her sideways and said, "If you are willing to give me two of them, everything will be yours if you succeed. I don't even want the medicine money from you."
"... Let me go back and take a look." Wei Changying and Huang looked at each other and said vaguely, "At my age, I can't resist the beauty of jadeite. There are not many jadeites in the dowry, and even less top-notch ones. "
Nowadays, Wei Changying and her husband are very much in love. Although there is no speculation about Shen Zangfeng's change of heart in the future, just as Huang thought, Duanmu Xinmiao can really make flawless medicinal jewelry, so there is no harm in getting one as a backup.
For example, after Wei Changying succeeds, if he can find out that the person who spread rumors about him in the imperial capital last year is definitely the fifth member of the Liu family... Did he ask about the birthdays of Liu Ruoye or Zhang and give him one or two
"Then let's make an agreement!" Duanmu Xinmiao immediately put on a smile and said Yingying, "I'll go see you in two days. You have to find your things and wait for me!"
Wei Changying: "..." How come after she met Gu Naizheng, she met Gu Naizheng one after another, who was like a close relative of his previous life? He had never had any friendship with Duanmu Xinmiao before, but now he started making moves the first time they met. He even tore her clothes. Now Duanmu Xinmiao has half of her shoulders exposed! She actually immediately started talking and laughing with him, and even took the initiative to see him...
This Ji Qubing student's attentiveness didn't stop there - after asking for something, Duanmu Xinmiao couldn't tell that she was unkind at all, and she was so tactful: "Don't look so unwelcome to me! I just didn't I didn’t really want to steal your jade, did I? It’s just that I was worried about my prescription and didn’t explain it clearly to you! You see, you also tore up my shirt in retaliation. We are all the same if we don’t fight each other. My daughter, why do you want to imitate the petty behavior of those small families and stay away from each other for the rest of your life? Now that you have made it clear, can you just expose it?"
Then he sighed and said, "If you are still not happy, how about I make amends with you?"
... Wei Changying said with a confused and bitter smile: "I did something wrong just now, I hope you will forgive me..."
After all, she couldn't be like Duanmu Xinmiao, who was completely emotionless and fell out like a book, and the two of them didn't have any deep hatred before. Now it was indeed Duanmu Xinmiao who suffered the greater loss. Duanmu Xinmiao smiled and took the initiative to apologize, Wei How can Zhang Ying still be annoyed that she has to go on... There is only one thought in his mind: at least one of his fine jade jewelry cannot be saved... The two are now reconciled. As Wei Changying, can he still tell Duanmu Xinmiao, Apart from this pair of jade bracelets, do you not own any good jade jewelry
No matter what, I have to take out one piece to deal with it...
Duanmu Xinmiao was afraid that he would not be able to get closer to her as soon as possible, so he insisted on keeping them here for dinner. Because he really couldn't keep them, he also warned: "Then you wait here for me, I will change the jacket and give it to you." !” He emphasized again and again, “You must wait for me!”
After saying that, he covered the damaged part of his jacket, picked up the skirt and hurriedly ran back.
Wei Changying watched her back disappear behind the wall, turned around and asked Huang: "Auntie, did you hear it just now? This Miss Duanmuba... is she actually hysterical?" Wasn't she quarreling or even about to fight? Why did the two of them shake hands and make peace now, and why did he have to go back and prepare at least one piece of fine jade jewelry to wait for Duanmu Xinmiao's visit
Huang felt strangely embarrassed and said sarcastically: "The Eighth Miss is very addicted to pharmacology, and she is a bit confused when it comes to these things. This medicine bracelet... is the skill of making jewelry that can kill people invisibly without leaving any trace. It is the Eighth Miss. I thought of it last year and scrapped a lot of jewelry before I succeeded in getting a pair of bracelets. The maidservant has also seen the pair of bracelets, and there is nothing unusual about them. Since I followed Divine Doctor Ji, the thing that I paid most attention to was poison. No clue could be found without trying several medicines in hand. Miss Eight put a bracelet on the rabbit, but the rabbit died within two days. The same was true when she tried it on a mastiff."
"..." Wei Changying said horrified, "How many pieces of jewelry has she discarded in total?" The effect was so good that out of curiosity, she was tempted. But before that, she has to calculate the cost first, otherwise no matter how much her dowry is, she can't help but waste it!
Huang said with a wry smile: "The old lady of the Duanmu family loved the eighth lady's eldest sister the most during her lifetime, who is now Princess Cai. The old lady of the Duanmu family is famous for her love of jade - when Princess Cai came out of the cabinet to become the crown princess , the old lady seemed to have given her two-thirds of the secret treasure to her. Later, the Crown Princess became Princess Cai. Because King Cai died, Princess Cai had no intention of dressing up while guarding the crown prince. I heard that there was color in the dowry! All the bright hairpin rings were given to Miss Duanmuba! And when the old lady of the Duanmu family passed away, Miss Duanmuba also shared her share. "
The life savings of the old lady who is the head of a family like the Six Nobles in the country are so rich. Wei Changying, who has won the favor of his grandmother, Mrs. Song, and has been in and out of Mrs. Song's private treasury since he was a child, knows nothing about it. Hearing this, he took a breath of air-conditioning and said :"all?"
"That's a pair of bracelets!" Huang nodded sadly.
If she were the aunt in charge of Duanmu Xinmiao, she would have knelt down and hugged Duanmu Xinmiao's legs and begged her to wake up! There are so many fine jade jewelry, and how many pieces are passed down from previous dynasties and are still as moist as ever after hundreds of years! Huang only listened to Duanmu Xinmiao and Ji Qubing's brief mention of the results when they reported the results, and then he estimated that if all the jewelry Duanmu Xinmiao wasted were discounted, it would be enough to support a tribe of several hundred people. !
It’s the kind that’s well-equipped and well-paid!
Moreover, Duanmu Xinmiao himself is proficient in pharmacology and medical skills. If he wants to quietly kill people he doesn't like, why does he need to make such a bracelet? A quack doctor kills people without using a knife - a good doctor kills people without anyone noticing!
Wei Changying grabbed Huang's arm and asked solemnly: "What should I do? The most valuable jewelry in my place...can I just deal with it?" I originally thought that a young lady like Duanmu Xinmiao who had not left the cabinet would generally not have such a thing in her hands. There are top-notch hairpin rings, which are kept in the hands of the elders for her. Therefore, she can't ruin many good things, and there is a precedent for success. Wei Changying still holds out hope for the worst, but who would have thought that the master would be so bold right now? ! The things that were wasted are almost worth Wei Changying’s dowry!
"...Miss Eighth wants the best kind of jade."
Even nails are priceless—otherwise, as Duanmu Xinmiao, she wouldn't be so embarrassed that she would have bothered Wei Changying to provide jade regardless of her past grudges.
Princess Cai is so heartbroken now that she gave her sister something anyway, no matter what her sister does with it, she doesn't bother to ask, and even if she knows, she doesn't care. If Izumi Izumi, the old lady of the Duanmu family who is famous for her love of jade, would be so distressed that she would climb out of the grave to find this unfilial granddaughter and fight to the death
Wei Changying murmured: "With such a reconciliation, I have to give up something priceless? How can I ignore her?" She knew that giving it away would be a waste for Duanmu Xinmiao, but she still wanted to give it away. This is too...
Huang reminded her implicitly: "Mr. Ji often praises Miss Eight for her perseverance. She is not like a noble girl, has no squeamishness, and despises fame."
The meaning of these words is that Duanmu Xinmiao is very persistent in stalking her. She is not as face-conscious as a normal noble girl. She is shameless... She will definitely ignore all reputations at all costs for the sake of jade...
How did I get into trouble with such a master? Wei Changying is really in trouble now. She is not willing to give up the jade. Besides, she grew up in a pile of wealth and is not a fool. She wants to hand over a piece of fine jade jewelry just by chance - this fate is too precious. Got it!
But Duanmu Xinmiao was a low-key girl before, but Wei Changying made peace with her without giving face, and now she wants to fall out... As a normal, well-known lady who still falls into the category of ordinary people who want face, Wei Changying wants to He turned around and left, but felt that he had agreed to Duanmu Xinmiao before, and now it seemed despicable to leave without saying goodbye.
Moreover, since Duanmu Xinmiao has her own agenda, she may not be willing to let her escape like this. Thinking of the previous scene where Duanmu Xinmiao quickly admitted her mistake, Wei Changying felt a headache...
At this time, Duanmu Xinmiao finally came back. She changed into an apricot-colored blouse, with gorgeous peonies embroidered on the front and sleeves. The cut was more loose, which was very incompatible with the green skirt made of coarse cloth underneath. Wei Changying guessed that she put on the coarse cloth dress to collect medicinal materials, and the Yueluo jacket she was wearing now should be what she usually wears.
It's just that Duanmu Xinmiao has been gone for so long, Wei Changying said that she had changed all her clothes, but she only changed into a jacket... When Duanmu Xinmiao came closer, he saw that she was holding an oil paper bag in her hand. He tied the hemp rope with a wishful knot and handed it over with a smile: "This is the rose tea I made myself. It tastes good. You can take it back and try it."
Wei Changying said subconsciously: "I don't like rose tea." I was thinking about how to distance myself from you. You are so alienated that you are too embarrassed to come to me to ask for jade, so how can you still want something from you
"Ah, that's troublesome, I just put it on the rose..." Duanmu Xinmiao woke up mid-sentence, laughed a few times and said, "I made this with my own hands, why don't you give me face and drink at least three times?" "
Wei Changying had not had much contact with doctors, and before he could wake up, Huang became alert and said in a deep voice: "Miss Eighth, what did you do to our young lady?!"
"...Ahem, can you blame me?" Duanmu Xinmiao looked at the sky and the ground, not looking at their master and servant, and whispered, "My clothes and skirts are all soaked in concoction, and the sachets on my body are also poisonous. If you only follow me It's nothing to pass by me. Who told her to tear off my shirt and hold it on my shoulders for so long..."
From the corner of his eye, he saw the faces of the master and the servant getting darker and darker. He felt something was wrong and quickly explained, "I wanted to let you eat and secretly detoxified the poison, but you refused to stay, so I had to rush and put the antidote in here." It’s in a cup of rose tea! Don’t worry, it’s not a bad medicine. In other words, after I go back, I’ll get rashes all over my body and scratch my heart and liver at night. Without my antidote, it’s useless to see a doctor. … But it will be fine if it lasts for ten nights.”
Then he introduced, "So I named it Ten Nights of Blood."
"He was covered in blood for ten nights..." Wei Changying gritted his teeth and sneered, "What a good name. But who can survive ten nights? He couldn't bear it and died a long time ago?"
Duanmu Xinmiao said coquettishly: "Take this antidote, go back and make a pot of rose tea, drink it three times, and you'll be fine. It's not evening yet, so you won't experience an attack."
Wei Changying felt that he should take the opportunity to refuse her visit, but before he said this, Duanmu Xinmiao said pitifully: "Sister Wei, I know I should have reminded you at that time, but I was afraid that you would misunderstand! You You were so angry at the time, what if you thought I was provoking you? Look, I just wanted to let you have dinner, but now I want to tell you the truth even if I don’t want to offend you. I just don’t want to really hurt you! I'm happy, I'll let you scold me, okay? I haven't soaked it in any concoction! You can ask Aunt Huang to check! You must never give me the jade! Now I know how to soak the medicine into the jade without damaging its quality. Really! As long as you give me the jade, you can hit me no matter what!"
"...It's nothing." Looking at her innocent and pitiful eyes, her attitude of being beaten and punished, and her compensating smile - Wei Changying was silent for a moment, and said with infinite misery, her heart was bleeding!
Why can't I be as shameless as Gu Naizheng... At this moment, Wei Changying suddenly felt that he was not as good as Gu Naizheng... (To be continued)
