Chapter 1307 613 Madness
Nangong Yue straightened her clothes and immediately set off from Bixiaotang, riding a blue-covered carriage to the Lin House in the west of the city.
In the main room, Imperial Physician Wu and Lin Jingchen sat next to each other around a round table, and the two elderly people were discussing researching and discussing a piece of black plaster the size of a finger.
There was also a pen and paper next to it, and there were traces of scribbling on the paper. Obviously, the two had discussed it for a while.
"Yue'er, come here."
As soon as Nangong Yue arrived, Lin Jingchen couldn't wait to greet her and asked her to sit beside him.
After the three of them saw the ceremony, Nangong Yue's eyes fell on the black plaster placed on a small white porcelain plate, "Grandfather, Imperial Physician Wu, is this Wuhe plaster?"
Lin Jingchen nodded: "Yue'er, I have researched with Imperial Physician Wu, and we have roughly determined that there are several herbs in Wuhe paste..." After speaking, he moved a piece of paper beside him to Nangong Yue.
Nangong Yue glanced over quickly, and there were four kinds of herbs listed on the paper: Bai Ziren, Silver Feather Leaf, Acacia Bark, Bihan Flower, and Xuanyue Vine.
Lin Jingchen continued: "There is also an important main medicine, it should be the Xuanying fruit that Wu Taiyi said, but unfortunately I have not seen it before, and I don't know how effective it is. Judging from the medicinal herbs that can be identified, this Wuhe ointment At least it has a calming effect."
Calm down... these four words obviously have nothing to do with expelling the blood congestion in the Fifth Prince's brain.
Nangong Yue pondered for a while and suggested, "Grandfather, why don't we do an experiment first?"
Lin Jingchen reluctantly stroked his beard, "I heard you said that the fifth prince has already taken a lot of Wuhe ointment, presumably this should not be a highly toxic substance, whether it is a chronic poison or something else, at least it will take a long time. The clues can only be seen through experiments, but the amount of these Wuhe pastes is too small."
Imperial Physician Wu followed with a sigh: "It's just that they only sent these on the grounds that they didn't have Xuanying fruit."
Nangong Yue frowned slightly and asked, "How much did they give away?"
"It's only a pound." Imperial Physician Wu gave a wry smile, explained the situation of the day one by one, and pointed to the five-harmonious paste on the table, "That's all, it's also that Young Master Han finally got his hands on it. "
Nangong Yue's brows furrowed even tighter, thinking to herself: Is it really impossible to get Wuhe Gao for Qiyi, or is he deliberately delaying time? She believed it was the latter. After all, Qiyi came to Southern Border this time, obviously to negotiate with Xiao Yi on behalf of Kui Lang. Before getting the result, she could only try to stay in Luoyue City. And Wuhe Gao is obviously the best excuse for delaying time.
fortunately……
"Grandfather, Imperial Physician Wu," Nangong Yue raised her eyes and said, "I have already sent someone to Baiyue to see if I can buy some Wuhe paste. ... We can try these for now."
After Imperial Physician Wu came to see her for the first time, Nangong Yue asked Zhu Xing to arrange for someone to go to Baiyue to inquire about Wuhe Paste, and also asked them to get some back by the way.
As long as Baiyue really has Wuhe paste, there will be results.
"Then it couldn't be better! Thank you, Concubine Prince." Imperial Physician Wu said excitedly rubbing his palms.
Lin Jingchen also nodded slightly and said, "Then let's test it with mice first." With such a small amount, only small animals can be used for testing.
Imperial Physician Wu naturally agreed.
The two then discussed the matter of the experiment, Nangong Yue wrote and recorded it, and occasionally offered some opinions of her own. When everything was settled, Taiyi Wu got up and said goodbye.
Baihui sent Imperial Physician Wu out, and at this moment, Han Qixia came out from the west room.
Although she avoided Imperial Physician Wu just now, she also heard the conversation outside, and couldn't help but frown and looked in the direction of the door.
These days, she has been worried about Fan's cousin's safety, but she hasn't studied medicine for less than a year, so she can't help much...
Noticing her expression, Nangong Yue stood up and hugged Han Qixia's arm affectionately, trying to divert her attention, "Sister Xia, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, have you made some new clothes for yourself?"
Han Qixia was stunned and said, "Yue'er, I have enough clothes..."
In previous years, when she was in the capital for Chinese New Year, she wanted to enter the palace to greet the empress dowager and the emperor, and to go out to various palaces to pay New Year's greetings. Of course, she had to make some new clothes. But now, she doesn't have any occasions to socialize, anyway, no matter what. Whatever she wears, neither grandfather nor Yue'er will dislike her.
Nangong Yue laughed, however, with a meaningful smile, "Sister Xia, A Yi and A He might be back during the Chinese New Year..." She deliberately blinked her eyes with a hint of ridicule.
Is the war almost over? ! Cousin Crane is coming back! Han Qixia's eyes lit up, and her face was filled with uncontrollable joy, as did Lin Jingchen.
The battle that has lasted for more than half a year has brought indescribable damage to the soil of southern Xinjiang. The war can end as soon as possible. It is a great thing for the people and the soldiers of the southern Xinjiang army. Rested.
Lin Jingchen was in a good mood, he stroked his beard and said, "Sister Xia, don't dress as gray as an old man like me all day," he said with a big wave, "Go, go, buy more fabrics. , your grandfather will give you money."
Under the coordinated attack of Lin Jingchen and Nangong Yue, Han Qixia had no power to fight back, and immediately raised her hands to surrender... Besides, the woman is the one who pleases herself. Cousin Crane is coming back soon!
Thinking about it, Han Qixia's face showed a hint of shyness and a hint of sweetness.
The two set off from Lin's house in Nangong Yue's blue-covered carriage, and went to Jinxiufang, a well-known cloth village in the west of the city.
This is the first time they have come to this cloth house, but the guys in the cloth house are also sharp-eyed. At first glance, they know that this carriage has been carefully modified, and the accompanying grooms and maids also seem to be from big families. She was extremely attentive, bowing her head and bowing to meet Nangong Yue and Han Qixia, and went up the stairs to the second floor.
At this time, an old woman in green came in through the door downstairs, and smiled and talked to another guy: "Man, I want to choose some bright materials..."
Que'er looked back, and the guy who led the way said from the front: "Madam, girl, the VIP room is here, please come with the little one..."
During the conversation, the guy respectfully greeted Nangong Yue and Han Qixia into the VIP room on the second floor, and warmly greeted them to sit down.
Nangong Yue and Han Qixia sat down around a round table. While sitting down, Que'er whispered in her ear: "Madam, that was Banxia's mother just now..."
That is, the mother-in-law. Nangong Yue's eyes flashed, she nodded, and said nothing.
Soon, the shopkeeper brought people a lot of new fabrics, some from the southern border, some from Jiangnan, and some from the capital. All kinds of fabrics were colorful and dazzling.
The shopkeeper has a good eye and taste. The materials provided are all the latest patterns, and they fit the temperament of Nangong Yue and Han Qixia very well.
Nangong Yue simply asked the shopkeeper to take out some more materials and picked them with great interest.
Not only did she choose a few pieces of material suitable for young girls, but she also chose the only purple-purple Yunjin in the store for Xiao Yi, and planned to make him new clothes when she went back.
It took an hour for this pick to be picked, and then Nangong Yue returned home with satisfaction.
Back at Bixiaotang, just after entering the courtyard, Thrush came over to report that Mrs. Qiao and Qiao Ruolan were here, and with the permission of King Zhennan, they went to visit Xiaofang in the main courtyard.
Nangong Yue nodded, and only told the people in the main courtyard to keep an eye on her, and said, "Go and call Sister Fei and Sister Ni over."
Thrush bowed his knees and led the way, and after a while, two sisters Xiao Fei and Xiao Ni arrived.
After the ceremony, Nangong Yue greeted them with a smile and greeted them to sit down, and said, "Sister Fei, Sister Ni, I went out today and picked some materials for you, which I just used to make new clothes."
Queer summoned a few little maids to bring the materials over. The styles of the two materials are distinct, one is as elegant as an orchid, the other is as bright as a spring, and at a glance, you can tell which girl is for each.
The little girl's family couldn't hide their joy when they saw the good-looking materials. Xiao Fei and Xiao Ni bowed in a proper manner and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law."
"As long as you two sisters like it." Nangong Yue smiled, she instructed Thrush to send all the materials selected for the other girls in the house, and then said, "Sister Fei, Sister Ni, the Chinese New Year is approaching, and the affairs of the house are Nuan Duo, I'm a little too busy here, I just thought about letting you two sisters help me?"
Hearing this, Xiao Ni's eyes lit up. She is also a transparent person in her heart, and she understands that the reason why my sister-in-law called her is to teach her a housekeeper. Otherwise, no matter how busy the Chinese New Year is, the eldest sister-in-law has the help of the eldest sister Xiao Fei, and there is also the side concubine Wei who can support her at any time. In fact, in the past few years, my mother has gradually let herself start to take care of her own yard, but her yard is only one-third of an acre, which is very different from that of the director of the palace. Second, it is enough for her to use it in the future.
You can see one or two things by looking at the upside-down changes on the eldest sister that day.
Xiao Ni hurriedly responded, showing gratitude.
In order for Xiao Yi to have no worries, Nangong Yue naturally hopes that the Zhennan Palace will be peaceful. Whether it's Xiao Fei, Xiao Luan, or the second and third bedrooms of the palace, she doesn't mind helping. As the daughter-in-law of the palace, not to mention piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, the director of the housekeeper always has to know. This little girl, Xiao Ni, was taught well by Second Lady Xiao, and she behaved decently, but she was too cautious, but it was inevitable—a fatherless daughter always had a harder time than others.
Nangong Yue continued in a warm voice: "The boxing ceremony of each province will be sent out before the New Year, so the two of you should draw up the gift list together."
There are definitely not many people in the southern border who need gifts from the Zhennan Palace, usually just some in-laws.
As for the other families, it was too late to give gifts to the palace in a hurry.
Xiao Fei responded: "Sister-in-law, leave this matter to me and the third sister. When we have drawn up the list, I will show it to you..."
For some reason, Xiao Ni's nose was sour, and she hurriedly lowered her eyes to hide the strange color in her eyes.
"Meow-"
Just as Xiao Ni lowered her head, she heard a shrill cat meowing. She subconsciously raised her eyes to follow the sound, and saw an orange hairball lightly jumped up the window sill, then fell to the ground silently, and quickly jumped to the ground. Xiao Fei's feet. Seeing that the orange fur on its tail almost exploded into a hairball, I knew it was frightened.
Of course Xiao Ni knew that this was the cat of the eldest sister Xiao Fei, and she didn't know who scared it into such a state.
Xiao Fei hurriedly hugged Xiaoju on her lap and stroked the top of its head to soothe its emotions.
Nangong Yue and Baihui glanced at each other, Xiaoju always walked sideways in the palace, and the only one who could frighten him and flee, seemed to be—
Sure enough, in the next instant, I heard a loud eagle cry coming from outside the window, and then, a gray eagle spread its wings and swooped over, landing steadily on the window sill, its golden eyes looking in the direction of Xiao Fei , No, it was looking at the orange cat crawling on Xiao Fei's lap.
Xiaohui came back early this morning with a letter, and this time he was restless and was teasing Xiaoju again. Nangong Yue shook her head helplessly, Xiao Hui's temperament was a bit like Yi.
Xiaohui stared at Xiaoju's cat's tail, which was swaying around, and moved his wings uncontrollably. Nangongyue saw Xiaohui's movements and knew that it wanted to tease the cat, so she hurriedly shouted. :"Small gray!"
Little Hui calmed down, pecking at his own grey feathers, looking disdainful of playing with the mortal cat.
Nangong Yue shook her head with a laugh, greeted Xiao Hui into the house, and fed it a few pieces of jerky to soothe its emotions.
"Miu-"
Xiaoju let out a pitiful cry, seeing Xiao Fei's heartache, she hugged it and got up to say goodbye.
Xiao Ni also stood up and said, "Big sister, why don't I go to your place to discuss the gift list with you first."
Xiao Fei naturally agreed.
So, the two sisters went to Yuebiju together.
After getting rid of Xiaohui, Xiaoju's mood was obviously more joyful, wagging his tail from time to time, and looking around lively with a pair of golden cat eyes.
But Xiao Fei was not relaxed, and Xiaoju was really getting heavier and heavier.
As they walked past the gazebo by the lake, a familiar female voice suddenly stopped the two of them: "Cousin Fei, cousin Ni."
Xiao Ni's body froze, she immediately recognized the owner of the voice, her heart sank instantly, and the previous scenes flashed through her mind like a revolving beacon.
Xiao Fei's complexion was also not very good-looking. The two sisters followed the sound and saw Qiao Ruolan swaying in the moonlight, with a treasure-like flower entwined with branches and engraved silk robes. She looked elegant and beautiful, like a picture of a lady.
Xiao Fei and Xiao Ni greeted her indifferently: "Cousin Lan."
How could Qiao Ruolan not notice the indifference of the two of them, and was unhappy in her heart, but she could only act as if nothing had happened, her eyes fell on the orange cat in Xiao Fei's arms, and she smiled and said, "Cousin Fei, is this your cat? It's so cute. "There was a hint of stiffness in her smile, and she didn't understand how Xiao Fei would like such a catchy little thing.
"Meow-"
Xiaoju twisted in Xiao Fei's arms and seemed to sense the other party's unkind gaze.
Xiao Fei's arms were a little sore, so she took the opportunity to put down Xiaoju. Xiaoju jumped into the flower bushes, and accidentally crushed a bunch of Clivia.
A trace of disgust flashed in Qiao Ruolan's eyes, but her smile remained unchanged, and she said, "Cousin Fei, cousin Ni, I just went to greet my aunt." The aunt in her mouth was, of course, Xiao Fang. I also want to call you, cousin Fei, to talk with your aunt, but it just so happens that cousin Fei is not in Yuebiju."
Xiao Fei just responded and didn't answer her.
Qiao Ruolan hated secretly in her heart, but before coming to the palace, Mrs. Qiao had told her not to lose her temper and have a good relationship with Xiao Fei... So she could only hold back her breath and continue. He said, "Cousin Fei, I just happened to see a few slaves in my aunt's yard going there to count the roster of the servants. A group of people were making a fuss, making the yard full of smog."
Qiao Ruolan said with disgust in her eyes, and she sighed in disapproval: "Concubine Shizi has just returned from Yanding City, and she is all thinking about seizing power, and treating her mother-in-law so contemptuously is really unfilial!"
When she heard the word "unfilial", Xiao Fei glared at Qiao Ruolan coldly, her eyes like arrows.
"Unfilial piety" is a serious crime, how can it be said casually!
This Cousin Lan has been taught so many lessons because of being light-hearted, but she still doesn't behave well!
Xiao Fei was disappointed, and said bluntly without euphemism: "Cousin Lan, each government has its own rules. Cousin Lan, you are not from our Zhennan Palace, so don't point fingers at the rules of the palace!" After a while, she said again, "Cousin Lan, we are cousins, so I advise you again, there is an old saying: 'Seeing the virtuous and thinking together, seeing the virtuous and introspecting.' Have you ever introspected? "
For a moment, Qiao Ruolan only heard the sound of "Boom--", and her heart jumped up, her mind was occupied by anger, her eyes were red.
Hello Xiao Fei! How dare you insult yourself like this!
She glared at Xiao Fei fiercely, like a beast staring at its prey, and there seemed to be a voice in her ear that Xiao Fei dared to look down on her! They all look down on her!
In Qiao Ruolan's mind, she had long forgotten Madam Qiao's advice, she just wanted to express the bad anger in her heart!
"Xiao Fei! I'm your cousin, how dare you be so disrespectful!"
Qiao Ruolan had lost her mind, and even forgot that she was not Xiao Fei's elder at all. She strode forward, raised her right arm and slapped Xiao Fei, like a mad woman...
Taoyao, who was behind Xiao Fei, was dumbfounded. She didn't expect Miss Qiao Biao to suddenly take action. At this moment, a red figure flashed by. Xiao Ni pushed Qiao Ruolan hard, and then pulled it up. Xiao Fei's hand said, "Big sister, this person is crazy, let's go!"
Xiao Fei has always believed in a gentleman, but he was so stunned that he didn't react, and let Xiao Ni pull him away.
Qiao Ruolan didn't take precautions, staggered a bit, fell to the ground, and her maidservant screamed nervously, "Girl, are you alright."
Of course Xiao Ni saw it too, but she didn't care. In other words, she felt that Qiao Ruolan was self-inflicted. She also regarded Qiao Ruolan as her cousin, but how did Qiao Ruolan respond to her! Only use and plot!
"Okay, Xiao Ni, how dare you push me! I must tell my mother and uncle... I won't let you go!"
Qiao Ruolan yelled and cursed, but Xiao Fei and Xiao Ni ignored her and left...
...
With so many eyes in the small garden, what happened naturally couldn't be concealed from others, and it was soon passed on to Nangong Yue's ears through Que'er.
Nangong Yue raised her eyebrows, unable to hide her surprise. For a long time, in her heart, Xiao Ni was a girl who was so tolerant and almost cautious, but she didn't expect that she would actually be such a temperamental little girl!
The corners of Nangong Yue's mouth are slightly raised, Xiao Ni is Xiao's family after all, and her blood is also the blood of the old town Nan Wang...
Thinking about it, the smile on Nangong Yue's face grew even stronger.
Seeing that Nangong Yue was in a good mood, Queer continued to report: "The eldest girl and the third girl ignored Miss Qiao Biao and left. Originally, Miss Qiao Biao wanted to catch up, but fortunately she was held back by her maid... Later, someone I hurriedly called Mrs. Qiao to come over, and I managed to persuade Miss Qiao Biao to stop her."
After speaking, Queer paused for a while before saying: "Prince Concubine, these days when you were away, Madam Qiao sought famous doctors all over the southern border. Later, rumors began to spread that Madam Qiao was lost because of her loss. Innocent, so crazy."
Nangong Yue was slightly startled. She remembered that when Qiao Ruolan was rescued from Zhuangzi, she had already lost control of her emotions and was going crazy. She didn't expect that it had been more than a month and she still did not get better. Otherwise, if it was the former Qiao Ruolan, it would not be so easy to lose her temper.
Thinking of the arrogant and reserved girl, Nangong Yue felt somewhat embarrassed. Qiao Ruolan had the uncle of King Zhennan, and she was considered a proud girl. She clearly held such a good hand, but she tossed herself into such a situation. !
At this time, Baihui came in from the outside, bent her knees and said, "Concubine Shizi, the concubine who is wearing the clothes and the side concubine has brought the New Year's gift here."
