Chapter 136: What medicine is in the gourd?

Views:

Si elder brother smiled, went to the table and sat down to eat. Just after finishing the meal, Zhao An came in from outside, handed a humble small box to Brother Si, and said: "Sent from Changhuan Tower."

Si elder brother gave a soft "um", opened the box, took out a ledger out of it, and looked around randomly, only to see a piece of paper in it with a line of teeny lower letters written on it: tonight At the end of the day, the Changhuan Building gathered. Si elder brother was startled slightly, the Jinzhi beside him had already turned his head and approached him, wondering: "Who?"

Si Age said lightly: "Nian Gengyao."

Jin Zhi is even more strange: "Isn't he your person? How come you meet so mysteriously?"

Si elder brother was also puzzled. Hearing this, he couldn't help but said, "I also want to know what medicine he sells in the gourd?"

Changhuan Tower is located on the outskirts of the East City. Although it is called a "lou", it looks more like a huge house. There are no scattered seats inside, only private rooms, and each of them is far away. With mountains and rocks blocking, or vegetation covering, victory lies in quietness and elegance and a pleasant environment.

Si elder brother did not ride a horse. He only took a humble cyan sedan chair. He stayed outside the corner door of Changhuan Tower and got off the sedan chair. There was already a young man waiting outside carrying a lantern, leading him to the door. As soon as I entered the door, I saw a path in the garden hidden by trees. After winding around for a while, the water vapor contained in the air suddenly thickened. Then I passed around a green area, my sight suddenly widened, and a quiet lake came oncoming. , The ripples in the water glowed with sparkling waves under the moonlight.

The bluestone road at the foot stretches towards the lake, supported by several solid stone pillars, and leads to the pavilion on the lake. The little servant who was leading the way with a lantern in front dropped his hands and retreated, and the fourth eldest brother paused at his feet and walked slowly into the pavilion.

No lights were lit in the pavilion, only the bright moonlight shed from the night sky, and the thin veils hanging around the pavilion were gently lifted by the soft breeze from the lake, and the shadows of the people sitting inside were faintly revealed, but they were not Nian Gengyao. , But a slender young woman from the back. Si elder brother was surprised, he paused under his feet and stopped by the pavilion.

The woman in the pavilion turned around and looked under the moonlight, only to feel that her eyebrows were as clean as jade, and she was indescribably soft and moving. Si elder brother was stunned for a moment, and then he hesitated for a long while and asked: "Su Yan?"

Suyan smiled lightly, got up from the stool, and gave a blessing to Si Age, smiled and asked: "Yes, it is Su Yan, is Si Ao happy or disappointed?"

Brother Si didn't expect that she was still alive. He was naturally happy to see her suddenly appearing. He replied: "Happy, of course happy, do you know that I have been very guilty for so long."

Su Yan only bends the corners of her lips gently, "Really? Then everything I did was not in vain."

Si elder brother was slightly startled when he heard the words, thinking about the difference before and after Nian Gengyao, and the Changhuan Tower that suddenly appeared to collect news for him. He looked at her carefully and asked: "Nian Gengyao. Yao is yours?"

Su Yan nodded, showing a slight chuckle, and replied softly: "What should I do? You don't love me, but my heart is still on you. I always think that even if I can't be with you, I can help you. Do something, but when I know that you and Qingchuan are not together, my heart starts to burn. I long to see you. There is only one thought in my heart-are you lonely? Do you need to find someone to talk to? ?"

Si elder brother was silent for a moment and asked, "So you controlled Nian Gengyao and opened this Changhuan Tower?"

Suyan nodded and said: "Yes, I want to prove my strength to you, and I want you to marry me."

Brother Si was stunned.

Suyan laughed mockingly, raised his eyes to look at him, and slowly said, "I can't be the person in your heart. I just want to be the most useful person to you. I want you to be inseparable from me for the rest of your life."

Brother Si looked at her and asked, "Don't you always dislike fighting?"

Suyan smiled, "Compared with you, personal preference is not important anymore."

Si elder brother was touched, but there was some bitterness in his heart. This woman has loved him like this from the beginning until now, but his heart is already dead. Faced with this love, he really has no way of repaying him, instead of cheating. Her feelings, it is better to let her go. He was silent for a moment and said: "No need, I have hurt you once, and I don't want to hurt you again."

After speaking, he turned and walked outside the pavilion.

"At the moment you know your situation. You are not as good as the fourteenth prince in terms of military strength, and you are not as good as the eighth prince in terms of prestige. And I have not only Chang Huanlou, but also Nian Gengyao's army. Join me together so that you have the bargaining chip to fight them."

Si elder brother paused, but didn't stop, just continued to move forward. Su Yan caught up from behind, stopped in front of him, looked up at him and said: "You always only ask for results, not about the process, why are you exception to me? Is it really that bad for me? It's so bad that you would rather lose the country. Don't want to face me?"

Seeing that she had misunderstood herself, Si elder brother couldn't help but smile wryly: "Su Yan..."

On the plain, there is a firmness, "You said you don't want to hurt me, but you have hurt me completely. My wound is so big that I can't get scabs in my life. If that's the case, why don't you let me be with you? Sinking? At least, I can leave the experience of working with you hand in hand in my memory."

Si elder brother looked at her quietly, and then softly asked after a long while: "You don't regret it?"

Su Yan shook his head.

"Even if you can never replace the person in my heart, do you regret it?"

With tears in Su Yan's eyes, he shook his head and said, "No regrets! I have never regretted since you took me out of the theater."

Si elder brother stretched out his hand to pull her into his arms and hugged her tightly.

Su Yan buried his head in his arms and started crying. After working so hard for so long and calculating so much, he was finally able to stand right beside this man. She used to wait very humblely for rewards from others, and almost lost her life. Later, she realized that no matter what she wanted, she had to fight for it herself. If anyone wanted to stop her, she would kill the gods and the Buddhas. …

Si elder brother married a new flanking Fujin, the younger sister of general Nian Gengyao.

Jin Zhi is no longer the spoiled and self-willed Sifu Jin who only knows the jealous and sour, why the fourth elder brother wants to marry Nian Gengyao's younger sister, she knows very well in her heart. Since the thirteenth elder brother was banned, the fourth elder brother has been cut off by one arm, and he has become more isolated and helpless in the middle of Korea. Marrying Nian Gengyao's younger sister at the moment is equivalent to tightly binding Nian Gengyao to Si elder brother. The military power in his hand will be Si elder brother's greatest help.

But even with this understanding, Jin Zhi still feels uncomfortable, so she persuaded herself that she is not an ordinary person, but a royal elder brother, she should be three wives and four concubines. If she becomes the emperor in the future, there will be three palaces. Sixth courtyard.

It wasn't until the day that Nan Nian Fu Jin entered the house, Jin Zhi was sitting in a chair and receiving her tea, and then he was shocked to recognize that Nian Fu Jin, who was kneeling in front of him, turned out to be a saying that he had come back from the dead. Jin Zhi stared at her blankly, and even forgot to pick up the tea.

Si elder brother caught a glimpse, fearing that Jin Zhi was jealous again, so he reminded in a low voice: "Pick tea."

Jin Zhi then came back to his senses, turned his head to look at Brother Si, and then turned to look at Su Yan. After a long while, he showed a bitter smile, so what if he did everything possible to marry in? Just guarding an empty shell with her. She smiled softly and handed out the meeting gift she had prepared.

Seeing that Jin Zhi hadn't been in trouble, Si elder brother couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.

The feast outside was lively, because the fourteenth elder brother had just returned to Beijing, and all the elder brothers were drinking him, and in a short while, he was drunk. As soon as Si elder brother came out, everyone shifted their targets again and smiled and toasted to him, the groom official. Brother Si smiled and drank a few cups. Seeing that Brother Fourteen was already drunk, he hurriedly ordered Zhao An to send him back to the palace first.

The fourteenth elder brother returned to the palace, but did not go to the elder brother's place. Instead, he came to Yonghe Palace to see Concubine De, but he never thought that Kangxi was here with Concubine De. When Jade saw the fourteenth elder brother coming in drunk, for fear that he would offend Kangxi, he hurriedly stopped him in the yard, and kindly persuaded him: "Fourteenth brother, you are drunk, and the slave can help you go back to rest. ."

Elder Fourteen didn’t leave, he laughed loudly and shouted: "I’m not drunk, you let me go, I still want to drink... Who can drink? Fourteen, I’m the invincible of the three armies. !"

With that, he threw away the emerald, and walked into the hall.

Concubine De Fei had just praised Kangxi’s fourteenth elder brother for being filial and sensible. He didn’t expect him to come back drunk and his face changed in fright. Seeing him staggering in, she quickly held her back and reprimanded: "How to drink Like this?"

The fourteenth elder brother smiled and said: "I am happy that my fourth brother is married today."

Concubine De was afraid that he hadn't seen Kangxi and would say something drunk, and reminded him quickly: "Hurry up and give you a salute to the Emperor Ama!"

The fourteenth elder brother only saw Kangxi, laughed, turned around and knelt on the ground with a puff, and shouted: "You can see Huang Ama!"

Kangxi was already unhappy in his heart, frowned, and said: "I'm so drunk, take him back to rest." Concubine De hurriedly asked the palace maid to help the fourteenth elder brother back to the elder brother's residence, and he hurriedly in front of Kangxi Yuanhe said: "The emperor, the old fourteen is not like this usually, he..."

Kangxi interrupted her in a cold voice, "You don't have to make a round for him. People who drink intemperately will be even more unrestrained in doing other things."

As he was talking, Li Dequan came in with a plate of steamed purple potatoes and said respectfully: "My lord, the purple potatoes are ready."

Kangxi turned his head and looked at him, and then said to Concubine De: "In terms of maturity and stability, your youngest son may not even be a tenth of your elder son. This old Si doesn’t look very good at ordinary times, but he does it by himself at home. , And sent me the purple sweet potato I planted for me to eat. No matter what the food is, this piece of filial piety is rare!"

Concubine De concubine lowered her head to listen to the training, but her heart was a little complicated. The eighth prince fell out of favor. It was when the fourteenth appeared in front of Kangxi, but he did not expect to be taken the first place by the fourth. It's good to win this round for the old fourteen, but what should I do? To achieve the goal, but not to let people guess her.

Concubine De concubine thought quickly in her heart, her eyes lit up when she glanced at the purple potato in Li Dequan's hand, and she had an idea in her heart. She obediently listened to Kangxi's training. Seeing Li Dequan brought the purple sweet potato to Kangxi, she said softly: "The emperor is still empty. It's uncomfortable to eat this. Let's wait for dinner and eat."

As he said, he took the purple sweet potato and handed it to the jade beside him, winking her. Jade was startled slightly, then retreated with the purple sweet potato.
