"Wow, I'm hungry!" Zhishu didn't know why, after all, Dr. Shen went to the small kitchen to cook some meals for the young master. In the past, Dr. Shen would make a few more and leave one for Zhishu.
So today, Zhishu didn't think too much, so he rushed to serve it. Unexpectedly, before his hands touched the noodle bowl, there was a pair of hands faster than him, and quickly took away the bowl.
"My lord!" Mi Li put the noodle bowl on the table, and stood quietly at the side, because of the commotion just now, the lord didn't have dinner at all, now that Dr. Shen has finished cooking, naturally the lord takes priority.
Bo Yunxiu looked cold and sat there without saying a word.
The atmosphere is a bit awkward, there are two people at a table, one is as cold as frost, and the other is as warm as jade. It seems that there are two extremes, but because of Shen Muxi, they maintain peace and endure each other.
Zhishu's stomach growled, but all the noodle bowls were brought to His Royal Highness Li Wang, so he didn't dare to ask for them back, so he had to obediently bring another bowl to Lu Guizhou, "My lord, hurry up while it's hot!" eat."
Lu Guizhou was not in a hurry, and looked up at the cold-faced Bo Yunxiu, "I didn't expect the prince to like this kind of rural food? I heard that the prince's beloved son doesn't seem to like the mountains and rivers, especially the countryside. country people."
Lu Guizhou also heard a thing or two about how Bo Yu bullied Shen Zhi before, and he didn't need to say much about Bo Yu's child's behavior, he didn't care about other people's children. But for Shen Zhi, Lu Guizhou watched Shen Zhi grow up, and he also saw how Shen Muxi took care of his children with food and water back then.
The thing held in the palm of the hand is trampled on by others, no matter how good-tempered a person is, there is a limit of patience.
Bo Yunxiu is not an idiot, he heard Lu Guizhou's implication clearly, his eyes were sharpened with knives, from Lu Guizhou to Shen Muxi, he never let go, "Come here!"
These words were directed at Shen Muxi.
Lu Guizhou was about to open his mouth, but he saw Shen Muxi walking towards Bo Yunxiu without saying a word. Seeing this situation, Lu Guizhou could only suppress the words when they came to his lips. She had her own opinions, and he even Interfer less.
But Shen Muxi didn't go for Bao Yunxiu, but...
"Zhishu, eat!" Shen Muxi walked the noodle bowl away from Bo Yunxiu and placed it directly in front of Zhishu, "These two bowls of noodles were originally made for you, and there are people serving delicacies from mountains and seas. I don't care for these rural dishes." I'm afraid that if you eat it, your tongue will rot."
Knowing the book is something he can't ask for, but because of Bao Yunxiu's identity, he asked cautiously with a suppressed smile, "Can I really eat it?"
"Eat!" Shen Muxi hugged the tray, "I made this, and I have the right to decide who to eat it for! Besides, I don't run a restaurant, so there's no way I want to eat without saying hello!"
"Mr. Shen!" Mi Li was in a hurry, "Mr. Shen slapped the young master today. The lord did not punish him because he treated him leniently. For this reason, he missed the dinner time. How can you say that about the lord?"
Besides, the prince is still injured!
Of course, Mi Li didn't dare to say this, if he dared to expose the fault of the prince in public, the prince would not slap him to death
"Want to eat? Okay, wait! Don't go!" Shen Muxi turned around and left.
Bo Yunxiu frowned slightly, vaguely feeling that something was wrong.
Lu Guizhou didn't say a word, and winked at Zhishu. The master and servant ate noodles in silence in front of Bo Yunxiu. I have to say that Shen Muxi's craftsmanship is really excellent, and it's the simplest. The plain noodles can also be made with a variety of colors, flavors and tastes.
Chunxiu in the kitchen was fishing for noodles, ready to eat the second bowl, but saw Shen Muxi rushing in, scooped up half a bowl of noodles without saying a word, then desperately stirred them into a paste with chopsticks, and finally scooped up a handful The pepper was sprinkled on the batter, Chunxiu was taken aback when he saw it.
"Doctor Shen, what are you doing?" Chunxiu swallowed, and asked in a very puzzled manner, "When did Lu Guizhou's taste become so strong?"
Shen Zhi "hula" took a mouthful of noodles, "Mother, can this be eaten?"
"Can't eat! Feed the dog!" Shen Muxi left with the noodle bowl in hand.
"Hey the dog?" Chunxiu blinked, "Hey the dog, don't waste this noodle, how nice it is to leave this half bowl for me!"
in the room.
With a sound of "bang", half a bowl of prickly ash and half a bowl of batter was placed in front of Bo Yunxiu, someone's face was so dark that ink could be wrung out in an instant, and when he looked up at her with a gun in his eyes, if there was a thunderous anger, he would kill her Everything around was burned.
"Don't you just cover your face and have a toothache? Come on, the peppercorns relieve the pain, the batter is just right, and you don't have to make any effort to eat it!" Shen Muxi sneered, "My lord, please use it! Please forgive me for the poor hospitality!" Bo Yunxiu got up and went out Let's go, the cold wind passed by, Shen Muxi couldn't help shivering, when he passed by her side, she quickly dodged to the side door as if avoiding the plague.
From Bao Yunxiu's point of view, she wished that he would get out as soon as possible. Xu was annoyed, but Bo Yunxiu suddenly stopped leaving, and took a step towards her abruptly, causing Shen Muxi to slam back against the door panel in shock.
Lu Guizhou hurriedly stood up, and Zhishu quickly hugged his noodle bowl.
The surroundings suddenly became quiet, and the atmosphere became more and more awkward.
"Is this how you treat patients?" Bo Yunxiu gritted his teeth, as if he wanted to eat people, "Doctor Shen!"
The last three words came out from between his teeth. It seemed that as long as she refuted a little, he would do great things. In fact, before she had time to refute, his hand was already on the door, pressed against her cheek, and looked down at her condescendingly.
That means, just wait for her to give in!
Shen Muxi shortened his body, quickly got out from under his armpit, and quickly stood beside Lu Guizhou.
Seeing this, Lu Guizhou stood in front of her very naturally, "My lord, twisted melons are not sweet!"
"Then pull out the vine!" Bo Yunxiu gave the two of them a hard look, his eyes were extremely cold, wishing he could peel Lu Guizhou's skin off.
Even though she was hiding behind Lu Guizhou, Shen Muxi could still feel someone's scorching gaze, like a knife, which could pierce people's hearts across thousands of mountains and rivers, but fortunately her heart was broken many years ago. It has been burned to ashes, and it is so numb that there will be no day of heavy work.
Bo Yunxiu left with a flick of his sleeves, but he didn't look back.
Lu Guizhou turned around, "Are you all right?"
Shen Muxi shook his head.
"Actually, why did you provoke him?" Lu Guizhou smiled helplessly, "It doesn't affect anyone whether he stays or leaves."
Shen Muxi was stunned, his eyes flickering slightly, "Have you finished eating? I'll put away the bowl when I'm done eating!"
"It's over!" Zhishu quickly cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks, "Doctor Shen, let me come!"
"No problem!" Shen Muxi picked up the empty bowl and left, with a slight hurry on his feet.
Lu Guizhou stood where he was, and let out a faint breath. Can the things that have penetrated into the bone marrow be removed if they are said to be pulled out? Maybe you will, or maybe you won't be able to do it in your whole life. As for the former or the latter, the key lies in the choice.
The night was long, and Lu Guizhou lived next door, listening to the sound of turning over all night.
At dawn, Shen Muxi got up and went into the room that Liu Butou had arranged for her before. While there was no one around, she pulled out the alchemy stove from the haystack beside her. Blowing off the dust on the cover, Shen Muxi listened attentively to the movement outside, making sure that there was no one outside, and then slowly opened the alchemy furnace.
The pill furnace contained the earlier snake. Of course, after such a long time, the broken snake would have died long ago.
In the twilight, a lot of fungi grew on the body of the snake that was broken into two pieces. The whole body of the snake was crystal clear, but the plants were very small, obviously they hadn't grown up yet.
"It's good to grow out!" Shen Muxi gently put the lid back on, put the pill furnace back into the haystack, and then got up and walked out.
After closing the door, Butou Liu's voice suddenly sounded behind him, "Doctor Shen?!"
"You scared me to death!" Shen Muxi held his beating heart and breathed slightly, "Why are you walking without sound?"
"You told me before that this room must be carefully guarded, so I come here to guard it when I have time." Catcher Liu was surprised, "What are you doing? Are you so scared? Could it be that this room..."
"In the past few days, I will be able to develop the detoxification pill. The things in this room are medicine primers, which are especially important. You must take care of them carefully!" A proper person went to grab the medicine. By the way, Zhi Er told me that Dr. Liao is missing?"
"Yes!" Liu Butou walked side by side with her, sighing softly, "I have searched all over, but I can't find any traces, and I don't know where it went? You said that if those people did it, this Dr. Liao is tricked again." What happened to them? So now, life and death are unknown."
Shen Muxi thought for a while, "It should be because I'm afraid of my Fang Zi, otherwise Fang Zi wouldn't be burned."
Liu Butou nodded, "By the way, I always thought that Li Wang's side concubine was very weird. I saw a pigeon flying on the roof of the mansion yesterday, so I quietly stopped it."
"You?" Shen Muxi was stunned, when did Catcher Liu become so smart
"I read it!" Catcher Liu suppressed his voice, and looked around quietly while speaking, "I was worried that they would be bad for you, so I had to plan ahead, but the thing written on it was so weird, I really didn't understand it, and I didn't know it was It's not about you."
Shen Muxi was puzzled, "Weird?"
"Only one line of small characters!" Liu Butou whispered in Shen Muxi's ear mysteriously.
Heart thumped, Shen Muxi's eyelashes fluttered, "Just these five words?"
"That's right!" Liu Butou nodded, "I didn't see anything wrong, so I stuffed the letter back into the carrier pigeon's leg, and threw the carrier pigeon to the side concubine's yard. I really don't know what the hell this woman is doing?"
"Everyone thinks she is dignified and magnanimous, why did she become a ghost when she came to you?" Shen Muxi asked with a smile.
Liu Butou snorted, "If she is really dignified and magnanimous, can the child be taught like this? The child is full of hostility, and it looks like everyone owes him. Look at the wound on Zhi'er's face, and say Just get angry."
Shen Muxi didn't speak, but let out a long breath, everyone could see it, but Bo Yunxiu was the only one who defended desperately, which is really ridiculous.
"Doctor Shen, do you really want to go back to Dongdu with them?" Catcher Liu couldn't help feeling a little worried, "It is said that strong dragons don't overwhelm local snakes. This is on our territory, and that kid is going too far. If you go to Dongdu, You can't let mermaid go? You have to think clearly."
Shen Muxi nodded, "I know it well."
"Okay!" Catcher Liu smiled, "Then I'll go to work first. If those people haven't been found for a day, our group will not relax."
"Okay!" Shen Muxi stood on the spot, looking at the back of Liu Butou who was walking away quickly, but the five words he left for her were in his mind, and he subconsciously touched his elbow. Does Wei Xian'er suspect her
She walked slowly to the end of the corridor, looked at her face reflected in the water of the lotus vat, gently stroked her eyebrows with her fingertips, where was the shadow of the past? The former Xia Wenxi died in the fire a long time ago, from the surface to every inch of skin on her body, she is no longer her original self.
But Bao Yunxiu seemed to recognize it, but he didn't say anything, otherwise, according to his temperament, how could he tolerate her reckless behavior? Or is he really not sure, and wants to wait for her to show her feet
Then what
Do you still want to kill them all like you did back then
Shen Muxi is not sure, she just wants to live a peaceful life, any intrigue, any fight for favor and power have nothing to do with her. She stepped into the kitchen and rolled up her sleeves. She had to cook something delicious for the child. These two days were really troublesome. The child didn't have a good meal. She, as a mother, felt very distressed.
Fortunately, in order to please Bo Yunxiu, the county magistrate stuffed everything into the kitchen, so there was everything in the kitchen, even fresh bamboo shoots and bracken were prepared every day. At this time of year, bamboo shoots are almost out of season, and bracken is also the last season, probably the last batch.
Knead mung bean noodles, cut into triangles, set aside, pick the most tender bracken, peel the bamboo shoots and leave the tender heads, cut in half, blanch, drain and let cool; smear mandarin fish into cubes, shell and pick thread and cut green shrimp Ding, steam fish and shrimp meat in a pot; add sesame oil, light soy sauce, salt and pepper and mix thoroughly to make stuffing.
A spoonful of stuffing and a piece of skin, served in a steamer, with a dish of vinegar.
The fresh and delicious "Shanhaidou" is ready, and everyone has a share. Although the quantity is not large, the ingredients are fresh enough, and it is most suitable for eating early in the morning. The fish and shrimp are fresh, mixed with wild vegetables, and the mouth is full of freshness and smoothness.
Because the tray is too small, it can only hold two dishes at a time, so Shen Muxi can only send Shen Zhi and Chunxiu first.
Shen Zhi loves to eat Shanhaidou made by his mother, and he smiles when he smells the aroma, and puts it in his mouth before dipping it in vinegar, but because of his tongue being scalded, he jumps all over the room, making Chunxiu laugh out loud.
"Eat, I'll deliver some to the neighbor!" Shen Muxi laughed.
"Don't worry, I'll look at Zhi'er." Chunxiu stuffed her mouth, almost speechless, "It's delicious!"
But back in the kitchen, Shen Muxi was stunned for a moment.
"Where's my breakfast?" Shen Muxi rummaged quickly, and ran away with long legs? Although there are also cooks in the kitchen, most of these cooks took the ingredients and went to Li Wang’s yard to take care of them in order to ensure the freshness of the dishes. her stuff.
What's more, even if you want to move, you will tell her, so you don't sneak around, just two bowls of breakfast!
"It's really weird!" Shen Muxi was displeased, a thief ran out of such a huge mansion to steal food? She had no choice but to do it all over again, but fortunately she had quick hands and feet, so it didn't take too much effort.
Liu Butou brought the medicine after lunch, told them a few words, and left in a hurry, as if there was movement in the Liao's Medical Center, as if someone had seen Dr. Liao come back.
"Mother!" Shen Zhi curled his lips, "I always feel that there is something wrong. I went to the Liao's Medical Center before, and there were traces of fighting inside, but they were well covered up, so..."
The implication is that Dr. Liao and his disciples may have been in danger for a long time, and now it is said that he has returned, which is probably suspicious.
"It's not safe outside, we have no way to protect ourselves, so we have to stay here safely, otherwise everyone has to protect us and free up their hands to deal with the villains, and they will be in a hurry." Shen Muxi patted his son on the shoulder.
"Zhier remembers!" Shen Zhi nodded, but his expression changed suddenly in the next moment.
Following Shen Zhi's line of sight, Shen Muxi saw Yizhu standing at the door, and Yizhu walked inside with a smile.
Chunxiu immediately stood in front of Shen Muxi. This person was the concubine's servant, so Chunxiu was naturally full of precautions, "What are you doing here? Let me tell you, if you dare to do anything bad, don't blame me for being rude!"
"My mother had a misunderstanding with Dr. Shen because of the young master's matter, so today my mother prepared refreshments, and I would like to invite Dr. Shen to come over and talk about it, so that everyone can resolve the misunderstanding and shake hands to make peace!" Yi Zhu saluted, her words were extremely respectful .
Shake hands and make peace
Shen Muxi seemed to have thought of something, "Shen Muxi didn't dare to brush off the concubine's kindness, but country girls don't know how to be polite. Say Shen Muxi to thank her for her kindness!"
Yizhu's face froze, but she still tried to persuade her, "Doctor Shen still cares about the matter between the empress and the young master? Maybe Dr. Shen doesn't know why the empress is so excited, especially when it comes to the young master. In the past, the empress' body Not good, the prince spared no efforts in the whole country to save the flesh and blood in the empress' womb, but when she gave birth, the empress still collapsed."
Heart, a little stuffy.
Shen Muxi stood on the spot without changing his expression, listening to Yi Zhu's eloquence.
"The empress's life was hanging by a thread at that time, and it was thanks to the treasures of heaven and earth that she saved her life." Yizhu sighed softly, "So the young man was bought by the empress with her life. After that, the empress was weak and could no longer have children. Since there is no heir in the palace, the prince has only such a child. The servant said this, not to show off, but to ask Dr. Shen to understand the thoughts of a mother. The empress did this for the whole palace!"
"It's not easy for her to give birth, so what does it matter to my family? She knows how to mulch, so she can take out other people's lives?" Chunxiu sneered.
Yizhu glared at Chunxiu, twitched the corners of her lips at Shen Muxi, and smiled, "Mr. Shen, it's your freedom to go or not, but the empress told the slaves, if you can't go, the slaves will also go." There is no need to go back! Whenever you are invited, the servant will go back to serve you, otherwise the servant will follow you until you nod!"
"Hey, I have a bad temper!" Chunxiu straightened her sleeves angrily, "Is the little girl bullying people in movies? She even threatened her!"
"Chunxiu!" Shen Muxi didn't want to make matters worse, "I'll just go!"
"Doctor Shen?"
"mother?"
"I'm not afraid of her threats, but I just want to make things clear." Shen Muxi's eyes darkened, and he said to Yizhu, "You wait for me outside the door, I'll change my clothes before going!"
Seeing that Shen Muxi had agreed, Yizhu was naturally extremely happy, and quickly retreated outside the courtyard gate.
"Doctor Shen, are you really going?" Chunxiu was worried, "I'll accompany you! If that woman thinks of something else to punish you, you won't even have the strength to fight back!"
"Don't worry, just help me take care of Zhi'er." Shen Muxi turned and went back to the house, changed his clothes and followed Yizhu away.
In the yard.
The fragrance of tea is overflowing.
Wei Xian'er was making tea, her beautiful face was filled with a gentle smile, her eyes were lingering, her expression was focused, and every frown and smile in the dim light was charming. Such a woman is the most dazzling existence no matter where she is placed. A hero is sad to be a beauty, and Bo Yunxiu is no different.
Yizhu backed away quietly, leaving the silence to the two.
"Come, sit down!" Wei Xian'er warmly greeted her.
Shen Muxi nodded in respect, and the two sat across a tea table. The cups are fragrant, elegant and fresh, the tea is good tea, but the people who drink the tea together are not of the same kind, it is very dull, at best it is just coping! "Doctor Shen, my child is ignorant. I have offended you so much before. I hope that Dr. Shen will not care about it!" Wei Xian'er held up the cup, "I will replace the wine with tea, and thank you for saving my life. I also ask Dr. Shen to be magnanimous. We will use it later They are good sisters."
Marriage to Jinlan
Shen Muxi held the cup in his hand, picked it up and put it down, "I didn't want to argue with my child, and this didn't happen to me, so I have to go back and discuss it with my son if I want to shake hands and make peace. Forget it. Besides, what the concubine concubine said is really weird, my mother only gave birth to me, and there is no such noble sister as the concubine concubine."
Wei Xian'er was completely refuted in face, still smiling, she shrank her hands and took a sip of tea, "So, Dr. Shen still doesn't want to forgive. It's because I was too anxious, I should..."
"The side concubine is wrong again. I said it. This matter is a matter for two children. Although we are mothers, we have no right to make decisions for our children. They are not subordinates of you and me, but living people. They should Have your own thoughts and choices." Shen Muxi took a sip of tea, the taste was fresh, the tip of the tongue was slightly astringent, but the aftertaste was sweet, it should be this year's new tea.
He didn't forget to bring this year's new tea with him when he went out, which is quite stylish, which also shows how favored Wei Xian'er is in Li Wangfu.
Wei Xian'er seemed to accept Shen Muxi's theory, but nodded, "What Doctor Shen said is true. Since ancient times, a loving mother has lost many children. I am too spoiled. This is the first time I am a mother, so I can't afford it. !By the way, Dr. Shen brought the child, why didn't you see your husband-in-law?"
Shen Muxi pursed her lips and started to ask about family matters
"When Master handed him over to me back then, I treated him as a close relative." Shen Muxi's expression was dark, she was still not suitable for lying, so when she said this, she could only cast her eyes into the distance, "No matter who hurts him or humiliates him, I will never let it go!"
Wei Xian'er was stunned, "Why, Mr. Shen is not yours..."
After a pause, the corners of Wei Xian'er's lips slightly raised, and a gleam of joy floated in her eyes, "Doctor Shen has a kind heart, I admire him so much, I really didn't expect that child Shen Zhi to have such a tragic life experience."
"I don't think it's miserable, Zhi'er has me loving him, mother and son are living in peace and security, I don't know how happy and carefree it is!" Shen Muxi dislikes such sympathetic expressions from others, her son is well-raised, What is there to make outsiders sympathize with? !
Wei Xian'er felt that she had made a slip of the tongue, and immediately picked up the cup and stood up, "I was the one who said something carelessly, I hope Dr. Shen will not care about it."
She has been telling others not to care about her, but she keeps slipping her words. Shen Muxi has seen through her, she is indeed a hypocritical woman, but men are confused by this face, and they still think that such a woman is dignified and magnanimous.
In my bones, I don't know what kind of full city mansion it is!
She Shen Muxi didn't want to provoke her, and she didn't bother to deal with this kind of person, so she immediately got up and said, "Is there anything else you can do, concubine? If there's nothing else, I'll go back first!"
"Doctor Shen!" Wei Xian'er was in a hurry, and immediately took steps to stop her.
But the next moment, the cup in his hand suddenly poured out, and the hot tea rushed straight to the sinking wood.
Shen Muxi had been on guard for a long time, and when she spoke, she quickly flung her sleeves away. While the hot tea was pouring on her sleeves, part of the hot water was splashed back on Wei Xianer's body.
For the control of strength, Shen Muxi played with ease after many years of administering needles and prescribing drugs.
In an instant, Wei Xian'er collapsed on the ground, covered her face and screamed, "My eyes! Ah, my eyes..."
There was wind blowing past the ear, it was Bo Yunxiu who rushed in at the right time, picked up Wei Xian'er who fell to the ground, and went straight to the room. He walked in a hurry, and it was obvious that his heart was anxious, he didn't even look back at Shen Muxi, "Xiao Li, call the doctor! Hurry up!"
Shen Muxi stood firmly on the spot, his arms slowly dropped, and the back of his hand was scarlet...
