It was late at night, and the streets were empty, only the watchmen passed by knocking on the clapper, and the voice was long: "The sky is dry, be careful of the candles—"
The icy moonlight shone on the bluestone slab, shimmering with light. A tall figure leaned against the wall with erratic footsteps. He was obviously drunk. He probably didn't bother to go around the main entrance, and went straight over the wall and entered the courtyard. Then he walked into the room with ease.
Qin Mingyue didn't sleep, and when she heard the movement of the door, she immediately stood up alertly: "Who?!"
Xiao Fengwu kicked off his boots, held the table to stand firm, and said with a half-smile, "Little beauty, how come you don't even recognize your husband?"
Qin Mingyue was annoyed. Hearing that, she threw the pillow to the side of the bed, lifted the quilt and went straight out of bed to find him to settle the account. Who would have thought that before approaching, she could smell the strong smell of alcohol on Xiao Fengwu's body, and her brows were wrinkled and loose. Kai, then said with a sneer: "Master Sixteen went to the kiln, and has Xiaoyao happy to come back until now?"
It was already late at night, and Xiao Fengwu came back a little late indeed.
Xiao Fengwu walked over and deliberately teased him: "How do you want to go shopping?"
Qin Mingyue heard the words, her eyes sharpened for a moment, she looked at him gloomily, and finally smiled again, and asked: "Do you want to know?"
"do not wanna know."
Xiao Fengwu knew that he was going to be angry if he kept teasing, so he picked him up and threw him on the bed, and leaned over with a smile to kiss him, Qin Mingyue tilted his head to dodge left and right, just to not let him touch, grabbing Xiao Fengwu's collar , stubbornly asked: "Did you go shopping or not?"
Xiao Fengwu pinched his butt, and his eyes were dark and romantic: "Do you think I can go shopping?"
He has always loved cleanliness and would never go to that kind of place.
"I can't say for sure. After all, Master Sixteen's words cannot be trusted."
Qin Mingyue raised her eyebrows slightly, and her expression was a little arrogant. Xiao Fengwu took off his clothes in a few times, revealing half of his shiny shoulder blades. He repeatedly gnawed and kneaded, Qin Mingyue clinging to the back of Xiao Fengwu's neck, and after a while, the whole person was gone. Soft became a puddle of water, and the voice was completely different from usual, humming, but the words were the boss's unwillingness: "The smell of alcohol, like falling into a wine vat, don't do this again next time. ."
Xiao Fengwu separated his legs, and his fingertips lingered on his smooth profile: "Guess who I met today?"
Qin Mingyue put one leg in Xiao Fengwu's arm, lean and fair, and could not pick out the slightest flaw, he touched Xiao Fengwu's waist with the tip of his toes, deliberately teasing his itch, and slightly hooked his lips: "Who else can I meet, is it difficult? Is it the Miss Xu family who is infatuated with you?"
What Qin Mingyue remembers most in her mind, apart from the drama, are the boudoir girls who liked Xiao Fengwu back then.
Xiao Fengwu seemed a little speechless when he heard the words, he paused before raising his eyebrows and said, "No, it's my second uncle."
Qin Mingyue's soul was almost lost. Hearing that, how could he know about the second uncle and the fourth uncle? He just kept entangling Xiao Fengwu to make out with him, and asked casually and perfunctorily, "What's wrong with your second uncle..."
Xiao Fengwu did two things with one heart, and did not delay on both sides: "The acupuncture notation he learned at the beginning was incomplete. I heard from the county magistrate that my grandfather loved me the most and wanted to tell me what to say, but I said that my grandfather would not let it spread, so he didn't say anything."
Qin Mingyue licked the pinna of his ear flexibly with the tip of her tongue, her eyelids trembled, and her eyes turned upside down: "Then what?"
Xiao Fengwu didn't know where he came across, causing Qin Mingyue to tremble, then narrowed his eyes and said thoughtfully: "He showed me a thick pulse case and some miscellaneous prescriptions, and asked me what should I do? How to treat this patient."
Qin Mingyue bit the flesh on his shoulder, still the same sentence: "And then? Did you say it?"
Xiao Fengwu returned to his senses after hearing the words, and said with a smile, "I'm not sure about the disease. If I'm not sure about the disease, I'll just pretend to be confused. He seems very disappointed."
Qin Mingyue tapped his head lightly with a finger, hating iron for not being steel: "You, someone is an official now, but there are ways to make you open your mouth. If you don't speak now, it will be hard to guarantee the future."
Xiao Fengwu took advantage of the situation and squeezed his hand and kissed him twice, buried his face in Qin Mingyue's neck and breathed softly, and rubbed it twice: "He is ashamed of the Xiao family, and won't force me. I have to leave for Beijing in the next day, so I don’t have so much time to waste.”
The two entangled with each other for a while before they were freed.
Like a cat, Qin Mingyue yawned lazily, hugged Xiao Fengwu, and patted his back with the palm of his hand, probably because of the singing, the voice was so long that it tickled people's ears: "Since you were a child, Most of you haven't suffered much, and this frivolous temper should be changed, otherwise you will suffer a loss. This is your second uncle. If someone else came, you would have been put in prison long ago. The official word is two words, it is never unreasonable. of."
Xiao Fengwu didn't say a word, just bit his earlobe, and then he felt drunk and fell asleep in his arms. When he closed his eyes, he was handsome and shrewd, and he was also a gentleman.
Qin Mingyue frowned resentfully, not only disgusting the smell of alcohol on his body, but also reluctant to push people away, kicked the quilt lazily, and closed his eyes to sleep.
The next day, Xiao Linru, accompanied by the county magistrate, visited all the pharmacy and medical clinics in Yancheng. I heard that the purpose was to find medicinal materials for the empress, and the people below deliberately attached them and offered a lot of rare treasures, including ginseng and bird’s nest. Strange, even the blood ginseng from the family was taken out.
"It's a pity, it's a pity, good medicinal materials are just wasted in vain."
Qian Langzhong sat on the threshold and saw that the medicinal herbs were pulled out by cart after cart, so sad that he couldn't smoke anymore, Xiao Fengwu felt that his whole body was full of sour taste, and he was simply jealous of others.
In the afternoon, Xiao Linru went back and forth to the Chuntang to look for Xiao Fengwu again, but he didn't say anything, just drinking and reminiscing about the old times, and saying some private words hidden in his stomach.
"I don't know if I can be buried in the ancestral tomb in a hundred years. This harem is so turbulent that I can't stand in line easily. I made a mistake in the first step, and I made a mistake in each step. Home makes sense."
Xiao Linru drank cup after cup of wine, and then said to Xiao Fengwu: "The Empress is about to give birth, I have to leave for Beijing tomorrow, and I don't know when I will come back next time."
Xiao Fengwu rubbed the cup: "Actually... It is common for ordinary women to give birth, and the fetal position is not normal, but it is not impossible."
Xiao Linru shook his head: "It's really that simple, just fine..."
His voice was more than a few degrees lower, as if he was talking to Xiao Fengwu, but also as if he was telling himself: "When the Empress was still in the position of the noble concubine, she used a secret method to forcibly conceived in order to compete for favor, and the baby emptied the mother's sperm. Qi, qi and blood are deficient, and it is not easy to boil up to now. I originally wanted to use the induction decoction to help her give birth as soon as possible, but who knows that she still has the original medicinal properties in her body, so I did not dare to take any strong medicine, so I could only keep it warm. ."
Xiao Fengwu can be considered to know why Xiao Linru was kicked out of the Xiao family in the first place. When the old man was still in the hospital, he reprimanded him. He must not participate in the concubines and concubines. .
Xiao Fengwu probably knew what method he used: "According to the medical scriptures, if this child is pregnant, it will be forced to fall in four or five months, otherwise there will be endless troubles."
Xiao Linru still shook his head, closed his eyes and said in a low voice: "I don't have enough people, why didn't I say that at the beginning, but the emperor has no children, if he can give birth to a baby boy, he will be the future heir, how can the empress be willing to give up? It is a dilemma, exhausting what I have learned in my life is worthy to save this child."
Xiao Fengwu thought that it was Xiao Linru who deserved it. Knowing that the harem was a puddle of muddy water, he wanted to try his best to go in and stir up trouble. He had no sympathy at the moment, so he got up and left.
In the days that followed, everything was calm, but Xiao Fengwu saw an acquaintance who was blasted out of the casino when Xiao Fengwu went to the clinic for a wealthy family.
The thug crouched high, banged his stick on the stone steps, and looked at Xiao Fengming condescendingly: "You're old, let's get all the money and play again, you've been in the casino for three days, it's hard to bet. I’ve never won, and I’ve never seen someone with the back of your hand like you, go burn incense and worship Buddha as soon as possible to wash away your bad luck.”
There are sixteen young masters and young ladies in the Xiao family, except for the eldest brother who was beheaded, there are fifteen remaining. Xiao Fengming is seven, and he is born to gamble. Mrs. Xiao can survive a little when he is alive, but after the Xiao family is ruined, he will not care He got up, owed a bad debt in a neighboring county, and hid in Yancheng again.
Xiao Fengwu obviously didn't have the kindness to help him, he deliberately avoided the path and walked away from the road. Unexpectedly, Xiao Fengming's eyes were very sharp, and he saw him at a glance. Crazy chased after him: "Hey! Sixteen! Sixteen! Don't run away, Sixteen!"
The boundary of Yancheng is not big or small. If you want to meet it sooner or later, you can run past the first day of the first day but not the fifteenth day. Xiao Fengwu didn't really avoid him. Seeing Xiao Fengming chasing after him, he stopped helplessly.
Xiao Fengming got married a few years ago, but because he was so good at gambling, his daughter-in-law took the child back to his parents' house. Now he is alone and widowed, he didn't feel embarrassed when he saw Xiao Fengwu, he hugged him very affectionately and said, "Look at you, see Seventh brother, what else is there to hide, brother, what’s so shameful in the game, you are in the early stage, but you have to pull brother, I’m worried about where I’m going, let’s go, take seventh brother to your house to see.”
Xiao Fengwu thought that this person was more shameless than himself, threw his arm off, yawned and said, "I'm not living in someone else's house as a little white face, seventh brother, you are handsome and extraordinary, you can find any rich young lady on the street to hook up. , what kind of delicacies from mountains and seas can't be eaten, and you still worry about no place to live?"
Xiao Fengming shook his head like a rattle: "No, no, your sister-in-law knows that she has to kill me, so don't joke with my brother."
Apart from gambling, he really didn't have any serious problems, and he was not a romantic seed. Xiao Fengwu went to Huichun Hall with his medicine box on his back, and he followed behind him with a shy face. When he entered the door, Qian Langzhong was taken aback.
The pipe knocked on the table, and a little spark fell, Degui quickly wiped it with a damp cloth, for fear of setting the table on fire, Qian Langzhong pushed him away in disgust, and said to Xiao Fengwu: "Boy, what do you mean? Do you want to let the old man live?"
Xiao Fengwu said in a perfunctory way: "I'll bring you the helper, just take care of the food and live it, hey, he's more hard-working than me."
Xiao Fengming smiled after hearing the words, rolled up his sleeves and said, "Sixteen, so you are sitting in the pavilion here with Mr. Qian. I should have said it earlier, I would have come too."
The Xiao family's medical skills are not bad. If he hadn't met Xiao Fengwu today, he would have planned to find a job. Seeing that Qian Lao was treating the patient's injuries, Xiao Fengming lifted the curtain to take a look and found that it was a man from the mountains. Orion, there is a long scratch on the back, I don't know how to get it, and my hand is dislocated.
Xiao Fengming went over and touched his bones, tsk tsk and shook his head: "Oh, it's broken, it has to be reconnected."
After groping for a while, he found the position and exerted a little force, only to hear a slight bone sound, and his arm was taken back. The hunter was also hard-hearted, and he held back and did not cry out. After a while, he tried to move his arm, weak. Said: "Thank you doctor."
Xiao Fengming waved his hand: "It's okay, just remember to give the bone money later."
Xiao Fengwu was sitting behind the table counting money at that time. In fact, he could have saved 500 taels long ago, but his hands were loose and he had no idea. He always spent more than he earned back. After saving for the past two days, he finally saved. Four hundred taels is enough.
After seeing a few more patients, you will be able to save enough money, and then tell the monster to get out of the way, so you don't have to worry about being attached to yourself.
Xiao Fengwu feels that he has suffered a lot of grievances these days. He has seen all kinds of ills, cut meat and squeezed blood, and can't eat at night when he is sick, all thanks to the system.
Qian Langzhong glanced from side to side, only to think that it's not that the family does not enter the house, the two brothers are both financial fans.
Thanks to Xiao Fengwu's recommendation, Xiao Fengming settled down in Huichuntang just like that, but whenever he had some spare money, he couldn't help but run to the casino to win back his money, and then he came back with nothing to lose, and so on and so forth. Even Qian Langzhong couldn't stand it anymore.
Qian Langzhong: "It's incredible, how can you get it at such a young age, look, the daytime one ran to the casino again, and he didn't win, so why didn't he give up!"
Xiao Fengwu put his legs on the table and said condescendingly: "He's a fool, he didn't even see that he was out of the money, let him lose, it's not your money anyway."
As soon as he finished speaking, a panicked shout suddenly came from outside the door, and then Xiao Fengming rushed in: "It's incredible! It's incredible! Sixteen, pack your things and run away! The official yamen sent someone here. catch us!"
The suddenness of this remark caught me off guard.
Xiao Fengwu stood up when he heard the words, his intuition was not good, he frowned and asked, "What's going on?!"
Xiao Fengming ran out of breath, his face was blue, he pointed at the door for a long time without saying a word, and slammed his chest a few times before saying: "I... I went to the casino just now and found that the officials were catching people everywhere, fourth sister. The fifth sister, the sixth brother, and the ninth and tenth brothers have all been arrested!"
When Qian Langzhong and Degui heard the words, they stopped what they were doing: "What are the officials arresting you for?!"
Xiao Fengming was so angry that he stomped his feet on the spot: "It's not Xiao Linru's broom star! The empress is about to give birth, and the abdominal pain is unbearable. Zhan, now the government is going to arrest us and take us into custody!"
After he finished speaking, he hurriedly packed up the money and prepared to slip through the back door, but he didn't know that the yamen arrived just in time and blocked him completely, kicked him in the stomach, and lay on the ground for a long time without getting up.
Jiang Ping'an was the one who led the arrest. He saw Xiao Fengwu with a bit of difficulty on his face, and said, "Doctor Xiao, please come with the brothers."
Xiao Fengwu slowly wiped the sweat from his palms with his handkerchief, and looked at him with dark eyes: "Xiao Linru has been removed from the Xiao family tree a few years ago, and it really means that he is no longer the Xiao family, and naturally there is no reason to implicate us. "
Xiao Fengming was captured by the yamen with a piece of cloth stuck in his mouth. Hearing this, he nodded sharply in agreement.
Jiang Ping'an sighed and said: "The emperor is angry, who cares whether he has a genealogy or not. I also listened to the instructions of the county magistrate. He said that if we take people, we will take them."
After he finished speaking, he glanced left and right, and whispered to Xiao Fengwu: "I heard the county magistrate said, this matter is not yet accurate, Mr. Xiao is still detained in the palace, maybe he will cure the empress. Bring some more money, and when the clothes are removed later, I will let my brother turn a blind eye and stay in prison to take care of things."
Entering the big prison is a torture tool for running water. Today's emperor is not wise, and he treats the queen like a treasure. If there is a mistake, it will easily cost hundreds of lives, and the Xiao family is only a part of it.
Xiao Fengming really didn't expect the disaster to come so unexpectedly, his legs were so frightened, he knelt on the ground and kept crying, but cloth blocked his mouth and couldn't make a sound.
Xiao Fengwu couldn't see any emotion on his face, he only put down the cloth in his hand, walked over and kicked Xiao Fengming: "People are not dead yet, why are you crying?"
Jiang Ping'an shook his head, waved his hand to signal his brother to take the person away, and the Huichun Hall became silent for a moment. De Gui was surprised, looked left and right, and asked Qian Langzhong in a panic, "Master, what should I do now?!"
Qian Langzhong lowered his head, didn't say a word for a long time, and knocked on the ground with his pipe: "Xiao family, what's wrong with this, Lin Ru is also confused, why did he covet power and position in the first place, so as not to hurt his family today."
