Just after dinner, Boss Yi came and knocked on the door.
As soon as he entered the house, Boss Yi said hello politely, looked at Jasmine clearing the dishes, and said with a smile: "I came at the wrong time. There happened to be a moon-viewing terrace in the back garden, and I also came from Lingcheng. I’ve just brought in a batch of new tea, if you like it, sir, why don’t you go over there and have a chat?”
Seeing how well prepared he was when he arrived, Wen Qingzhu suspected that he came just for this reason.
However, it was good to have arrangements. Wen Qingzhu nodded in agreement and followed him to the balcony in the back garden.
Just as Shopkeeper Shen said, the balcony on his side is more elegantly and delicately decorated.
If it weren't for the cold wind that filtered through the bamboo curtains, chilling him to his bones, Wen Qingzhu wouldn't have been able to tell that this was Yunzhou City.
There was no one else here, so Boss Yi personally made tea for her.
At the same time, he talked about some recent news in the city: "The business of Feiyun Tower has not been very good recently. The landlady personally went to Yan's house to invite Mr. Yan to come out. This time, she was unable to do so. It is said that after returning, she drove away several of them. New guest."
When Wen Qingzhu heard this, he realized that when Boss Yi mentioned this matter at this point, he was definitely not talking about it casually.
Pretending to be puzzled, he asked: "Is Mr. Yan the son of the prefect Yan Yongzhang?"
"No, in our Yunzhou, who dares to go beyond the country, Master Yan? When it comes to eating, drinking and having fun, Master Yan is the most proficient. However, in the past two months, he has changed his temper and doesn't go out much.
Our Yunzhou was not lively in the first place, but now it is getting more and more deserted. Feiyun Tower is almost unbearable. The owner of Feixia Tower in Dezhou has come here two or three times. "
Boss Yi poured the tea, sat at the table, and talked to her about the matter carefully: "As early as two years ago, our Yunzhou was much more prosperous than Dezhou. The proprietress of Feixia Tower in Dezhou was still from Feixia He went out from Yunlou.
Now the situation has reversed. The boss of Feixia Tower was so angry that he didn’t want to get back his anger, so he prepared some money to take it back. The boss of Feiyun Tower was so angry, ugh! "
Wen Qingzhu was not very clear about the specific situation before Yunzhou and Dezhou.
But every year, there are discounts sent to her, and she can still know that Yunzhou is a capital city after all, and its development is much better than that of Dezhou.
Seeing it in person now, Yunzhou is desolate, which is indeed disappointing.
Wen Qingzhu thought for a while and asked: "Then according to what you said, Feiyun Tower can't be run without Mr. Yan?"
"That's true!" Boss Yi directly affirmed this sentence, "After all, he is the son of the magistrate's family. He can also see what is going on in Yunzhou now. If he wants to do something, he has nothing to do with the Yan family, so why not It really can’t be done.”
Wen Qingzhu chuckled softly: "So it was all done through Mr. Yan. If he doesn't come out now, everyone will simply lose access."
"It's just that we are missing this connection. I heard that Young Master wants to build a house. If there is no road across the Yamen, I'm afraid someone will destroy it as soon as you finish it. So I still have to go to Young Master Yan for this matter."
Boss Yi said so much and finally mentioned the core of the problem.
"But Master Yan doesn't go out, doesn't he?" Wen Qingzhu followed his words and asked.
Boss Yi pointed in the direction of Feiyun Tower: "Young master, don't worry. If you go to Feiyun Tower to stroll around these days, you may meet unexpected people."
As for who he met, Boss Yi didn't say clearly.
After the business was finished, Boss Yi began to introduce the new batch of tea.
Wen Qingzhu drank and chatted with him.
The knowledge revealed in his words surprised Boss Yi.
But in this way, he felt confident.
The young man in front of me has a good background.
After returning to her room, Jasmine brought Lu Tao's letter over.
Wen Qingzhu felt a little solemn when he saw it. How could things get worse
Based on her understanding of Yang Liu, this kind of thing shouldn't happen at all!
That night, Wen Qingzhu went to bed worried.
When I woke up the next day, my eyes were a little red and swollen.
Jasmine went to the kitchen to ask for cooked eggs. After understanding the situation, the waiter turned around and brought some medicine packets.
Put it on the steamer to steam thoroughly, and then handed it to Jasmine and said, "Sister, use this. This is our local Yunzhou medicine pack for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. It is very effective for swollen eyes after sleeping. It can take up to half an hour. It can take as little as an hour.”
Jasmine was worried and brought back the hot medicine pack and cooked eggs.
When applying warm compresses to Wenqingzhu, use them alternately.
In about half an hour, the swelling in her eyes quickly disappeared.
Wen Qingzhu sat up, took a medicine bag, removed the stitches, and checked the formula inside.
She exclaimed: "I haven't seen these two kinds of herbs before."
Jasmine remembered the waiter's words and replied: "Is it a herbal medicine that is only found near Yunzhou? I heard the waiter said that the local formula in Yunzhou here is probably not found in other places."
"Probably." Wen Qingzhu nodded and picked out two unseen medicines from the medicine bag.
If there is a chance, she can ask Du Weiniang.
After breakfast, Lu Tao came back.
Jasmine brought her in. Wen Qingzhu looked behind her and asked, "Where's Yang Liu? Why isn't he with you?"
"He is temporarily busy and may not be able to come back until tomorrow." Lu Tao looked very tired. He walked to the table and lay down directly.
Jasmine got a glass of water and handed it to her: "You drink some water first, and I'll get you some food."
She turned to leave, but Lu Tao suddenly sat up and held her back: "No! The remaining poison in my body has not been completely removed, so I need to eat less for the time being."
Wen Qingzhu's expression condensed, and he reached for Lu Tao's wrist and pressed her pulse.
After listening carefully, I felt something strange, but it didn't look like I was poisoned.
After she finished reading, Lu Tao took back his hand and explained in a somewhat vain tone: "Young master, don't worry about me. It's not a very powerful poison. I just accidentally ate the poisonous fruit from Texas, which caused gastrointestinal problems. In two days, God is fine."
"I read your letter last time and it said that your identities were discovered. Why did you rush back this time? What happened over there in Texas?"
Wen Qingzhu felt that with the abilities of Lu Tao and Yang Liu, they shouldn't be in such a mess.
After calming down for a while, Lu Tao took off the baggage on his back and took out some account books and some old-looking letters.
She took out a folded letter and handed it to Wen Qingzhu: "I just sorted this letter out. I originally wanted to send it to you, but I was worried that someone would find out about it along the way, and those people were already following us. , so I might as well come back and forget it.”
Wen Qingzhu took it and took a look. It contained several important information.
Each one taken individually is a big problem.
"What do you think, adults?" After Lu Tao finished speaking, he drank the contents of the cup and poured himself another glass of water.
Wen Qingzhu put the letter away and said after careful consideration: "The problem in Dezhou is indeed serious, but I can't worry about cleaning it up in Yunzhou."
"My lord, I plan to resolve the matter in Yunzhou first. What I'm afraid of is that if there is any movement here, Dezhou will definitely notice it and be prepared."
Lu Tao has seen so many dark sides of Dezhou during this period, it is simply worse than the capital city.
She was physically and psychologically unwell.
Seeing that Lu Tao was too tired, Wen Qingzhu asked Jasmine to take her to the cubicle to rest.
Wen Qingzhu took Beidou out and decided to visit one of the most famous temples in Yunzhou.
Last time she sent Wen Mingliang to Yaoshen Valley, she met Niu Zhang.
He said a lot of things related to Yunzhou, the most important of which was that Jiuzhu came out of Qingjing Temple.
Qingjing Temple is not in the city, but it is not far from Yunzhou City.
Yesterday, Wen Qingzhu and Du Weiniang went to the mountain to collect herbs, and it took about half an hour.
They came out now and took the south gate. It took them about half an hour to reach the foot of the mountain where Qingjing Temple is located.
There were not many people leaving the city, but as they approached Qingjing Temple, Wen Qingzhu noticed that there were suddenly more people.
At the foot of the mountain, Wen Qingzhu felt a little enlightened.
She has never seen so many people in Yunzhou City
There are merchants setting up stalls on both sides, some selling incense, candles, paper money, and others selling various snacks and gadgets.
There are actually more people going up and down the mountain than entering and leaving Fengguo Temple.
Wen Qingzhu knows how many people there are in the capital.
In addition, Fengguo Temple is an imperial temple, so it is normal for there to be many people.
But although Qingjing Temple is a famous temple in the country, there is almost no place for carriages to go with the pedestrians coming and going. At most, you can only go up the mountain in a small sedan chair.
What surprised Wen Qingzhu the most was that everyone had an extremely pious look on their faces.
Wen Qingzhu has seen all kinds of people's hearts, so she knows very well that these people are not pretending.
After getting off the carriage, Beidou went to store the carriage.
Wen Qingzhu was observing the pedestrians coming and going on the roadside.
It was so wrong, everyone had an eerie sense of unity on their faces.
After watching for a while, the vendor next to him couldn't help but ask: "Sir, are you here specifically to pay homage to Master Jiu Zhu?"
Upon hearing this name, Wen Qingzhu immediately raised his eyebrows: "Master Jiu Zhu?"
As soon as the vendor heard her accent, he knew that she was not a local, and he quickly introduced her warmly: "It seems that the guest is from Yunzhou. Otherwise, he would definitely not know about Master Jiu Zhu. He is a rare person in a thousand years." Here’s the master I met!”
"Really?" Wen Qingzhu smiled.
Jiu Zhu ran away last time, and now he shows up again
Seeing her smile, the vendor thought there was something going on, and quickly brought a handful of incense with patterns on it: "Look, sir, this kind of auspicious cloud incense is a specialty of our Texas, and it is also the favorite of the masters of the Qingjing Temple, especially the Jiujiu incense." Master Zhu, although this Xiangyun Incense is ten cents more expensive than ordinary incense, when you petition, using this kind of incense will be more effective!"
Wen Qingzhu took the Xiangyun Incense from the vendor, held it up to his nose and smelled it. It did have a special fragrance.
When she was about to return it, she stopped suddenly. Why did she feel that the smell was so familiar
"Don't you want it, sir? This Xiangyun Xiang is in short supply! Look, it's almost sold out here!" The vendor quickly pointed to the stall next to him, and there were indeed only two handfuls left.
Wen Qingzhu took his hand back and took out some broken silver: "Is this enough?"
The hawker was so happy that he smashed the silver into pieces and bit it with his teeth to confirm that it was genuine, and his face became more and more happy.
Seeing that she was so generous, the hawker went to get paper money and candlesticks.
When he was about to make a sale, he turned around and found that Wen Qingzhu was missing.
Wen Qingzhu left the roadside and came to the woods. He found a stone, crushed one of the incense sticks, and put it in the palm of his hand.
After careful analysis, she confirmed that there was a special medicinal ingredient in it that could make her dizzy but not completely faint.
When it enters the human body, it can also produce a hallucinogenic effect, and it can be regarded as containing a slight toxin.
Wen Qingzhu threw away the powder in his hands and curled his lips.
This world-famous Qingjing Temple is actually doing this kind of thing
She turned to leave, not wanting to meet the merchant Chen who was in the tea shed a few days ago.
He also held a handful of Xiangyun Incense in his hand. Unlike Wen Qingzhu, he threw it directly into the withered grass with disdain on his face.
Just when he was about to turn around, he noticed Wen Qingzhu's gaze.
His eyes were slightly focused, as if he knew Wen Qingzhu.
But he didn't say anything and turned around and left.
