As soon as these words came out, Zheng's eyes widened, and he opened his mouth and did not speak.
Dong shi was stunned for a moment, and looked over subconsciously.
She is very persistent in medicinal materials, and she has never slackened her research on flowers. Others regard studying medicine and medicine as a means of earning a living, while Dong regards it as a personal hobby. The enthusiasm of the two is naturally different.
As for Dong Shi, when she heard Ye Jiao talking about the toxicity of Folan, her first reaction was disbelief. After all, she had never heard of it before.
But Mr. Dong soon believed it, because she trusted Ye Jiao so much that Ye Jiao was much better at identifying herbs than she was.
Soon, Mrs. Dong looked at Mrs. Zheng, bowed lightly and said, "Madam, can you let me take a look?"
Zheng's lack of understanding of pharmacology, Ye Jiao is pregnant, which is the most suitable for her.
Mrs. Zheng tightly held the hand of the woman beside her, pursed her lips, and nodded to Mrs. Dong.
Ye Jiao warned, "Don't touch it with your hands."
Dong shi smiled at Ye Jiao, then stepped forward.
But Ye Jiao's words made Zheng's eyes dark.
You can't touch it with your hands... My daughter's favorite is to touch the petals of Fran with her hands, and she feels that it is pure and flawless. If it is really poisonous, my daughter's frailty may be the culprit!
Mr. Dong stepped forward to observe carefully, then looked around again, his expression changed when he smelled the smell, turned around and walked back, facing Mrs. Zheng: "Dare to ask if anyone has touched this Fran? "
Zheng Shi nodded, his face pale.
Ye Jiao put her hand on the slightly protruding lower abdomen, her eyes looking at Zheng Shi, her voice was soft and still: "Diarrhea, shortness of breath, body temperature rise, repeated many times but no recovery, but so?"
Recalling her daughter's symptoms, Mrs Zheng nodded and pursed her lips tightly: "What Jiao Niang said is exactly the same."
Ye Jiao and Dong shi looked at each other and saw the affirmation in each other's eyes.
It's just that although Ye Jiao knew the toxicity of this flower, she didn't know enough about the names of flowers in this world, so she didn't continue to speak.
Dong shi lowered his voice and said: "This phoenix is of the same origin as Manjusri orchid, and its shape, smell and taste are almost the same, but the toxicity is probably more rapid than that of Manjusrilan, and it can react just by touching it."
In other words, this is a poisonous flower, but it has a white appearance, but it is actually poisonous in its bones.
Ye Jiao has never heard of Manjulan, but when talking about the poison of this flower, Ye Jiao said softly: "As long as the poison of this flower is not deep, it is easy to solve, but you have to suffer some sins."
Dong shi also nodded: "Li Langzhong should have a way, just let him come to the mansion and take a look."
Zheng shi closed his eyes and calmed down, and then let go of the old woman's hand.
Taking two steps forward, Mrs. Zheng looked solemn, facing Ye Jiao and Mrs. Dong slightly blessed, her voice was a little hoarse: "I will never forget the life-saving grace of Lady Jiao and Mrs. Dong, it will be repaid in this life. return."
Ye Jiao and Mrs Dong hurriedly helped her to get up and bowed back, but they went to the front hall without saying anything to her.
Zheng Shi clenched the old woman's hand again after they left, gritted her teeth, her face was pale, and it looked like she would faint at any time.
The old woman hurriedly said: "Madam, do you want to destroy this flower now? And the one in the backyard, but you want to kill it now?"
More than just wanting to destroy this flower, Zheng Shi even wants to set it on fire now! Even the woman who harmed her own daughter was beaten to death with a stick!
But Zheng Shi knew that she couldn't do this, because she is no longer the second girl of the Zheng family who can act recklessly, but is married as a woman, and she has to think of Langjun everywhere. Only when Shi Tianrui thinks about it, their future life can be better.
Even though Zheng's heart was twisted by the murder of her daughter, she still took a deep breath and said to her mother-in-law: "No, no one can say it, and you don't even think about writing a letter back to tell Dad, this can't be done. Let my parents know, otherwise the chaos of the house will be easy to implement."
The old woman was stunned for a moment, and then asked quickly, "Then Madam, shall we do nothing?"
"It's natural to do what should be done, but you can't be reckless. Now that Xianggong has offended a high-ranking official in the court, it is natural to follow the rules for a while, and this matter has to be planned." Zheng said while supporting The old lady walked towards the backyard.
The old woman didn't understand: "This Fran was found by the concubine in the backyard, and she personally gave it to our girl. It's very clear. How to plan?"
Zheng Shi took a deep breath and let it out again in a steady voice: "A concubine, even if she was the cousin's cousin before, but as long as she becomes a concubine, she will live or die in the future. For this kind of shit, I have a way to make her life better than death. However, it doesn't matter who gave this Fran, how to use it is the most important. "
The old lady didn't understand, and Mrs. Zheng didn't explain it.
She is not an ordinary woman, she comes from a wealthy family, and she sees a lot of this kind of slander, but Zheng's mind is calm and deep, and such methods are not easy to see. suffer and suffer.
The delicate and gentle concubine in the backyard is already a dead person. Sooner or later, it doesn't matter.
But the death of just a concubine could not plug the hole in Zheng's heart.
That concubine has always been timid and inexperienced. To be able to do such a thing, there must be someone behind it. Moreover, Folan was sent when he was in the capital. I think it was done by people in Beijing. Zheng's hands are not that long either.
If you want revenge, you can't spend your whole life with Shi Tianrui as a petty official in this small county. You must first let Shi Tianrui be promoted back to Beijing.
It would be better to throw this matter on the heads of those people in the capital. Shi Tianrui's determination to die here at an old age is over, and it is true that he is forced to move forward.
Zheng Shi neither cried nor made trouble, his mind changed sharply, and whispered: "Go, tell Langjun, and say that I have something to discuss with him."
The old lady responded and left.
Zheng Shi turned his head to look at the Flan, which was pure and flawless, white than snow.
After pinching the veil and taking another deep breath, Mrs. Zheng hurried back to the back hall to wait for Shi Tianrui's arrival.
In the front hall, Shi Tianrui and Qi Yun seemed to know each other at first sight.
Originally, Qi Yun's understanding of Shi Tianrui was only a matter of rumours about his uprightness.
But when they really met, Qi Yun felt that Shi Tianrui's temper was familiar.
It's not that he is familiar with his persistent Fangzheng, but his kind-hearted and pure-hearted temperament always makes Qi Yun feel that he sees Chu Chengyun, who he first met in the tavern, in a trance.
The same family and country feelings, the same regardless of gains and losses, the same... whatever you say you believe.
Shi Tianrui didn't know what Qi Yun was thinking at all. In his opinion, Qi Yun could be regarded as a clear stream among these merchants.
Even though there is no discrimination against businessmen like the previous dynasty, businessmen seek profit, and one of the virtues of a gentleman is not to sacrifice for money, which makes many officials and slaughterers unable to bear the stench of businessmen.
But Qi Yun gave Shi Tianrui a very different impression.
The first time Shi Tianrui heard about Qi Yun, it was because of his generous donation to help the victims.
After all, people look at their faces, regardless of gender.
After catching up with Qi Erlang's habit of showing good manners and manners in front of outsiders, Shi Tianrui looked at him more and more pleasing to the eye.
What he was talking about was Qi Yun's charitable act of helping the victims before, and the award the court wanted to give him: "Before this official took office, the one who accompanied him was the plaque that the emperor personally inscribed for you. Now that this official takes office, I want to come to the plaque It’s almost time for Shao Zhizhou’s government office.”
Qi Yun was stunned for a moment, and then he knew that Chu Chengyun deliberately sent it over the bright road. In addition to praise, he was afraid that he still had his own royal business status.
But on the face, Qi Yun showed a slightly surprised look: "Sir, I didn't expect any awards..." Then he got up and coughed twice.
Shi Tianrui naturally knew that Qi Yun's body was no better than ordinary people, so he stood up after he got up, stretched out his hand to support him, and felt that Qi Erlang was really a pure and kind person, and it was not surprising that such a thought could be awarded by the emperor.
And such a kind person, I am afraid that they will be easily bullied by those profiteers, and I will help one or two in the future.
With a three-point smile on the face of the young magistrate Junxiu, he said slowly, "This is the grace of the heavenly family, and you deserve it, so there is no need to refuse."
Qi Yun nodded and bowed to Shi Tianrui.
Shi Tianrui returned the salute, and the two of them acted politely, especially Shi Tianrui, who knew Qi Ming at first sight and wished he could be a close friend.
At this moment, the old woman who was serving by Zheng's side hurried in and said a few words to him.
Shi Tianrui's expression changed, Qi Yun saw this and said in a timely manner: "Sir, my wife is inconvenient, so she is waiting outside for me to come back."
"Erlang, let's go, don't keep Madam waiting for a long time."
Before Qi Yun left, he looked back and saw Shi Tianrui hurriedly heading towards the back hall.
As for what happened, Qi Yun didn't care, it was other people's family affairs that had nothing to do with him.
Just when he walked out of the main hall, he saw the shopkeeper Sun who seemed to be waiting for him not far away.
Seeing Qi Yun coming out, Shopkeeper Sun immediately walked over quickly and smiled at Qi Yun: "Qi Erlang has won the appreciation of Shi Zhi County, which is gratifying."
Qi Yun and the shopkeeper Sun of the Qianzhuang are old acquaintances. When he overthrew the Cai family before, the shopkeeper Sun made an effort. When setting up the caravan, Qi Yun also got the assistance of the shopkeeper Sun, so that he could find a suitable guide and escort. division.
Seeing Shopkeeper Sun now, Qi Yun stopped and bowed back, saying, "Manager Sun is very polite. I don't know Shopkeeper Sun is waiting for me here, but is there anything to discuss?"
Shopkeeper Sun immediately pulled him, and the two walked aside to hear Shopkeeper Sun say, "I heard that Shao Zhizhou was inquiring about your home recently?"
Qi Yun nodded, he still knew about this from Shi Tianrui, and it was not surprising that there was a set of regulations before the plaque was issued.
But Shopkeeper Sun's understanding was obviously different from what he thought. He looked at Qi Yun with some worry and said in a low voice, "I heard that the Shao family is always jealous and the most stingy, but his family is not shy about money, nor is it stingy with beauties. After all, the Shao family has the support of Zhizhou, Erlang, you might as well send some good things in the past, after all, peace makes money."
As soon as these words came out, Qi Yun understood what Shopkeeper Sun meant.
He knew that Shao Zhizhou was here to present the plaque, but in the eyes of shopkeeper Sun, he was afraid that he would find his own bad luck.
Storekeeper Sun's words were naturally for Qi Yun's consideration. Since ancient times, people have not fought with officials, and they have avoided it if they can.
But Qi Yun did not agree.
It's not that he doesn't know what to do, but he really doesn't think it's necessary, and he has a backer who gives himself a plaque, and an uncle who treats his little sister as a pain in his eyes. If he acts casually and dares to send beauties, that's the truth. crazy.
Shopkeeper Sun said that he didn't force it, but just talked about his worries again, and walked out of the door with him.
The Qi family's carriage was not easy to find. Qi Yun looked around for a while before he saw the trace of his own carriage. In front of the carriage, he heard another chariot that was twice as big, and blocked the Qi family's carriage. Strictly.
On it, there is a sign of the Shao family.
Qi Yun remained calm, walked around the Shao family carriage with a calm expression, and stepped on the low stool with the iron to get on the carriage.
In the Shao family carriage, Zhu Shi pouted and let out a sneer.
Shao Wulang seemed to have drank a few more glasses, his face flushed, he looked at Zhu Shi and asked, "What are you laughing at?"
Naturally, Mrs. Zhu would not tell him that she just got angry in the back. Her husband knew that he was the most stern, and when he heard her being looked down upon, he would only say that she was useless, and would never help her vent his anger.
The Zhu family simply didn't mention those bad things, and said: "The Qi family said that they are hot upstarts, but looking at this carriage, it doesn't seem to be uncommon. mesa."
I thought that Shao Wulang was just listening, but who knew he said: "Don't worry, my brother has decided to give the Qi family a good look. They are just grasshoppers in the autumn, and they won't jump for a few days."
Zhu Shi's eyes lit up: "Really?"
Shao Wulang was obviously drunk, and his voice was a little vague: "Of course, what are you doing to lie to you?"
Zhu Shi immediately laughed, thinking, after all, the Shao family is still in charge of this city, and the Qi family was born with mud legs, what is it
I just blocked the Qi family's carriage with a carriage, I'm afraid they've already vomited blood now.
On the Qi family's carriage, Ye Jiao and Qi Yun did not take the Shao family and his wife to heart, and did not mention it.
As soon as he got in the car, Qi Yun leaned over to Ye Jiao's side, reached out and gently touched his wife's belly, as if relieved, he let out a sigh of relief, put his chin on the woman's neck, and said softly: " How are you getting along with Mrs. Shi?"
Ye Jiao let him hug her. Hearing the words, she replied with a smile, "It's good, that is, the flowers and plants in her yard are always not picked and planted randomly."
This was not a big deal to Qi Yun, so he didn't ask again.
Ye Jiao said softly, "I only had some refreshments just now, and I didn't eat much, so I'm a little hungry."
Hearing this, Qi Yun put his hand on her lower abdomen and covered it, and said in his mouth, "Wait a minute, I'll have something to eat when I go back."
The little ginseng smiled, leaned sideways against Qi Yun's arms, chatted with him privately, and fell asleep not long after.
Qi Yun lowered his head and kissed the cheek of his own sweet girl. She originally wanted to share the good news she just learned with her, but she endured it now, thinking that it would not be long, and it would be the same when the plaque arrived.
But who would have thought that after such a wait, when spring and summer come, the plaque given by the royal family will stay in the Zhizhou Yamen for a full two months.
