Attack Jade (攻玉) - Chapter 75

[Chapter 47 He was so relieved to put the medicine jar in his arms…]

Lin Chengyou looked at Xiao Ya strangely. When he came here, he had imagined what the spirit of the Teng Yuyi sword would look like. He thought it was a beautiful elves, but he never expected to be a bad old man. Forget about the bad old man, his manners are still so unscrupulous.

He watched for a while, and couldn’t help but say, “Hey, what’s your name?”

Xiaoya rolled around excitedly in the bath like a live fish: “Didn’t Mrs. Teng tell you? The old man’s name is Xiaoya, “Knowing is boundless.” The old man has been in the sword for hundreds of years, and his spiritual power has never recovered so quickly. Your bathing soup is pure and yang, and can cleanse the evil yin and stench. ,Wow ha ha ha ha, I like it so much, this bath is so fun tonight!”

Teng Yuyi: “…”

Lin Chengyou: “…”

He glanced at Teng Yuyi, is this the artifact you treat as a treasure? A little disrespectful to the old.

Teng Yuyi felt ashamed for a long time, and frowned and knocked on the body of the urn: “You take a bath as soon as you take a bath, can you…don’t talk so much.”

Xiaoya simply put his arms behind his head, and floated on his back in the water. , said proudly: “Miss Teng, I only want his bath soup in the future, and I don’t want anyone else’s.”

Lin Chengyou raised his eyebrows. .

He interrupted Xiaoya mercilessly: “Don’t be delusional! Today is just an expedient measure, next time it won’t work.”

Teng Yuyi also said “don’t think about it” in her heart, she was almost exhausted to make Lin Chengyou’s bath soup. , there is absolutely no next time. After a few days, Jue Sage and Abandoned Wisdom returned, and the bathing soup had its own place.

Xiao Ya was not happy anymore, he dived into the water, gulped down a lot of bath soup, and stuck his head out from the water: “I don’t care, old man, I want this.”

Teng Yuyi glared at him: “You are red-faced. , all the spiritual power must have recovered, come out, and someone will come later.

Xiao Ya reluctantly rubbed it hard, as if to cleanse the demonic energy in her stomach, and then she threw her head down and filled her stomach with the bath soup. Finally, she was so addicted to it that she burrowed into the sword body with no end in sight.

Teng Yuyi took out the small sword, wiped it clean and put it in the sleeve. After this incident, she really believed that Lin Chengyou just missed it, but she was just a little surprised. Fortunately, he was willing to make amends in time, otherwise Xiaoya would suffer.

She looked at Lin Chengyou, the wound on his arm was probably not yet healed, and the head of his clothes was wrapped in yarn.

Teng Yu thought about it for a while, and took out her jar of the treasured Hu medicine from her sleeve. In fact, she wanted to repay Lin Chengyou since she came out of Caifeng Tower safely, but unfortunately she never found a chance. This medicine is extremely rare. Even Grandpa only collected one jar. I wanted to keep it for self-defense, so why don’t I take this opportunity to give it to Lin Chengyou. Although Lin Chengyou is not short of golden medicine, it is said that this medicine is much stronger than the medicine in the palace. After using it a few times, Lin Chengyou may be fine.

“Sir—” She held the medicine jar in her hand and spoke kindly.

Lin Chengyou picked up the wet wine urn, got up and said: “Okay, this is done. I forgot to tell you, your old slave named Duanfu was detained by me, and will be locked in the firewood room tonight. Teng Yuyi ‘s

smile froze. She wondered why she had never seen Duanfu. It turned out that she was trapped by Lin Chengyou. With Duanfu’s skill, it was impossible for him to be held by several guards. It must have been set up by Lin Chengyou in advance to deal with Duanfu. the trap.

Seeing Lin Chengyou walking away, she hurriedly chased after him: “Lin Chengyou, it’s not right to steal your bath soup, but this is my idea, Duanfu is just following orders.”

Lin Chengyou smiled and said, “Your master and servant are more abominable than the other. The master wants to steal the bath soup, but the subordinates don’t say to discourage the master’s evil deeds, but actually help Zhou to abuse. Isn’t it right that such a slave has suffered for the master? Since it fell into my hands, let’s not say let him suffer once.”

Teng Yuyi felt a chill in his heart, and being locked in a firewood room was not worth much suffering. Could it be that he still wanted to execute Duanfu?

“Duanfu has been by my side for ten years, and he has always been loyal. As long as it is my order, he will do it, even if the sword is in flames. I really don’t blame him. It’s me who hates me. If you want to make trouble, go straight to me. Come on.”

Lin Chengyou paused, and when the two met in the afternoon, she had a smile on her face, but she was thinking about plotting against him, first splashing him with Pu Tao wine, and then letting the servant sneak into Feiyi Pavilion to steal his Bath soup, it’s a pity that he was unprepared for her, and he deliberately didn’t avoid her wine bag because he was worried that she would be hurt by the sharp stone under his feet.

When he thought about this, the fire in his heart swelled upwards.

“Teng Yuyi, don’t I know about you? No matter how well you say it right now, next time you still dare to plot against me. Even if you say something shattering today, it won’t be over!”

Teng Yuyi choked, Lin Chengyou knew that she was protecting her shortcoming. , but took Duanfu to operate, even if he directly poisoned her like last time, she would not suffer like this right now.

She was embarrassed and annoyed, but after thinking about it carefully, she was at fault for this matter. If it was her, she would feel humiliated by someone stealing the bath soup.

As soon as I feel that I am wrong, my voice is not so strong.

She glanced at his back, chased after him and forcibly stopped in front of him, smiled and said, “Sir, I can guarantee that there will never be another time. You don’t know Duanfu’s temperament, he only has the master in his heart, what can you do? Punishing him, he doesn’t know where he is wrong. Since the prince wants to prevent future troubles, it is not like the reckoning of me as the master–”

Lin Chengyou refused to stop, only smiled and said: “You are so protective of shortcoming, punishing good fortune is not equal to Have you settled it with you?”

Teng Yuyi reasoned with him: “The law is divided into principal and accomplice. The principal is here, why should the prince embarrass a servant. Tell me, how can this matter be brought to light? If Duanfu is released, I can accept the punishment.”

If he punishes her, how will he punish her? Lock her in the woodshed or mute her again?

He couldn’t do anything, and he could only punish Duanfu.

He turned his head to look at her: “If you talk more, I will throw your good loyal servant into the prison of Dali Temple.”

“You—” Teng Yuyi’s heart burst into flames.

Lin Chengyou was about to turn her head when she suddenly saw something in her hand: “What is this?”

Teng Yuyi looked down and realized that she had been holding the medicine pot. She knew that Lin Chengyou was going to torture Duanfu, so she didn’t take the medicine. take it out.

He wanted to take the medicine jar back, but suddenly changed his mind: “I saw that Shizi’s arm injury was not healed, and I remembered that I was carrying a jar of Hu medicine, which is commonly used in my grandfather’s army, saying that it can relieve itching and rot. —”

“Give it to me?”

Teng Yuyi hummed and handed the medicine to Lin Chengyou. Seeing that he didn’t take it, he said angrily, “Don’t worry, it’s not poison. He helped me and Xiaoya a lot in the evening, I am very grateful and wanted to repay one or two for a long time, this medicine is tough, but the healing effect is very good, if the prince doesn’t dislike it, you can take it back and try it.

” After being silent for a while, he took the round medicine jar over, glanced at her, and suddenly turned around and walked away, stuffing the medicine jar into his arms as he walked: “Thank you.

” Lin Chengyou leaned up against the wall, and all of a sudden he disappeared.

Teng Yu’s eyes were so angry that you accepted my gift, but you let Duanfu go.

What should I do now? Lin Chengyou refuses to eat hard and soft. Duanfu falls into his hands. I don’t know what kind of crime she will suffer. Even if she comes up with a countermeasure immediately, she must be able to pass the news first. She staggered a few steps to mobilize the people under her command, and suddenly heard the footsteps of the guards approaching. Even if she was worried about Duanfu, she could only go back over the wall first.

As soon as Lin Chengyou returned to Feiyi Pavilion, Kuan Nu came over and said, “Sir, what should I do with the servant in the firewood room ?

”

The two best guards in martial arts, several people cooperated inside and outside, it took a lot of effort to catch this person, and they let go without asking for the crime?

He raised his head suspiciously, and saw at a glance that the little master was a little absent-minded, and he didn’t dare to ask any more questions.

Lin Chengyou lay down on the couch in front of the window, raised the medicine jar in his hand and looked at it. The jar was small, very delicate and lovely. The glaze was icy and clear, decorated with red and blue pastels. , should be held in Teng Yuyi’s hand for a long time.

He unscrewed the lid of the jar and smelled it. As Teng Yuyi had said, it contained high-quality Hu medicine.

He had just wrapped a layer of gauze on his arms and covered it with clothes because he was afraid that it would be too late after the bath. It was hard to see the clues if he was not careful, but looking at Teng Yuyi’s posture, he not only saw that he was not healed, but also thought about it for a long time. Give him the medicine can. There are not a few cans of such good medicine in Chang’an. Teng Yuyi can keep it for self-defense. Even in order to repay his bath soup, she can give him something else. In the end, she still gave him the Hu medicine.

He rubbed the medicine jar and thought, she was bad enough when she was bad, and good enough when she was good.

However, his injury is almost healed, no matter how good the medicine is, he won’t need it anymore.

He turned over, put the medicine jar aside, and went to the bathroom to wash himself.

When I came out, I was thinking about something next to me, but I couldn’t hold it back, and my eyes slipped to the couch again. He said: Hey, if you throw me here, aren’t you afraid that I will break?

Lin Chengyou glanced at it.

After a while, I took another look, and finally I couldn’t help walking to the couch to pick up the medicine jar. I thought to myself, although he couldn’t use the medicine, it would be a pity if it broke. I found a place to lock it up, and walked around the house twice, but I didn’t see a suitable box for a while.

Why don’t you just put it on your body for a night. Thinking of this, he put the medicine jar into his arms with peace of mind, and fell asleep.

***

Teng Yuyi stumbled to sleep in the middle of the night with the puppet in her arms. Because she couldn’t put Duanfu in her heart, she woke up before dawn in the morning. She went downstairs to find out the news in person, and Duanfu actually came to Yueminglou to find her. .

Duanfu told what happened last night.

Lin Chengyou did set a trap to trap him, but he was released after only a short period of time.

Teng Yuyi was startled, looked left and right at Duan Fu, Duan Fu was actually unscathed.

She was puzzled. Judging from Lin Chengyou’s posture last night, Duanfu would not be able to escape a humiliation, so how could he just do it. After thinking about it for a while, although I didn’t understand why Lin Chengyou suddenly changed his mind, the incident finally passed without any risk.

If Lin Chengyou sincerely embarrassed them, the matter of stealing the bath soup might turn into something. It can be seen that this person is hateful, but his heart is not bad at all.

“Well, our master and servant owe Lin Chengyou another favor. In addition to the Caifenglou matter, we will meet Lin Chengyou in the future and be more polite than the first few days. If he has any emergency in the future, we must not Stand by and watch.” Duanfu replied, and asked, “The prince’s bath soup was taken away by the prince last night, do

you want the old slave to get it?”

“No need, Xiaoyajian is all right.”

“The bath soup Before it was delivered to the lady, why would this sword be fine?”

“This—” Teng Yuyi’s face flashed a trace of embarrassment, and then she said casually, “In short, if it’s okay, it’s okay, Duanfu, you are fine, these are You don’t need to worry about it. You go to have breakfast first. Today, you just need to keep an eye on Lu Zhaoan , and I will arrange the rest. Duanfu

has always been taciturn.

*

Today’s official birthday banquet, the people are busy before dawn. It’s a big business, and there is a lot of music and drums in the early morning. At

noon, a line of Jinwuwei galloped to report, saying that the saint and the queen came to congratulate in person. Longevity, Yu Nian will soon be

leaving for Bieye. The villa suddenly boiled, and all the guests were afraid of losing their honor in front of the royal family, so they went back to their rooms to tidy their clothes. After a while, the emperor arrived, and the king led the crowd to go out to greet him.

The emperor and empress were unusually close, so as soon as they came, they ordered a banquet, and the banquet was set up by the Lotus Pool, and the ministers and relatives were given the same seat.

Many of the guests were meeting the Holy Spirit for the first time. After entering the table, they were so frightened that they dared not even move the cup and chopsticks.

The queen also ordered the maids to bring out the fresh peaches that were picked up in the palace.

“I brought it from the palace. In previous years, it would not be fully ripe until the end of March. This year, I don’t know what auspiciousness is, but it will be obtained in the middle of March. Take it and divide it. The fruit is better than pickled when it is fresh.” The

maids carried bamboo cages , distributed the peaches with dew on the branches and leaves to the people at the table. Some of the wives and daughters of the officials from other places sat far away, and it was expected that they might not be able to get the reward. I don’t know that the queen’s gift was not a pretense. Almost everyone has it, regardless of relatives or ignorance. When everyone sees the Queen’s kindness and kindness, they can’t help but respect and love her.

This whole day, monarchs and ministers watched hundreds of operas in Furong Pond, listened to silk music, tasted fragrant food, and tasted fine wine… It can be said that the joy is endless.

In the evening, before the banquet was over, the queen seemed to feel tired, and told the female relatives that there was no need to sit at the banquet, and it was better to walk around when it was not too late. After saying this, she led the palace people to leave the banquet.

Not long after, female relatives came back to their rooms to change their clothes.

Mrs. Du felt dizzy and hot, so she took Du Tinglan and Teng Yuyi back to Yueminglou.

After I went back to my room, drank tea and changed my clothes, I finally felt much refreshed.

Mrs. Du leaned on the armrest of the low couch under the window, shaking the fan while watching the setting sun outside the window: “I will be going back to the city early in the morning, this Ledao Villa is so magnificent, it is rare to come here, and I did not take a good stroll at night. If nothing happens, it would be good for you siblings to have a good time walking around.”

Du Tinglan said, “If Auntie has enough rest, she will go downstairs with us later.”

“I’m exhausted today, so I won’t go. “Mrs. Du wondered, “This child, what are you looking for in the room when you come back?”

Teng Yuyi spun around the room with her hands behind her back, first her eyes fell on the glazed cup on the table, she shook her head, then turned her head to look at the clothes on the bedstead over there, and shook her head again.

After listening to her aunt’s question, she replied, “I owe someone a favor, and I’m thinking of giving something to give them a gift.”

Someone outside the door said, “Ayu, Sister Lan, have you rested? ?”

It turned out that Li Huaigu’s mother and daughter came.

Compared with today’s high-ranking nobles, Li’s family rank is inconspicuous, but because Li Huaigu’s appearance and bearing are outstanding among all the little ladies, he is also quite eye-catching at the banquet.

Outside Li Huaigu, he changed into a new light crimson shirt that was soft and misty. He dressed in a clean and elegant dress. He came in and gave Mrs. Du a salute, and then said to Du Tinglan and Teng Yu, “A few stewards came to the building just now. It was passed down that Princess Changyi and Princess Azhi said that they didn’t have enough fun last night, so they set up a painting boat in the Shisha Lake and invited the juniors from various prefectures to come and have fun.”

Madam Du smiled and said, “That’s just right. Come on, I’ll have a good talk with Madam Li.” The

three of them said goodbye, and Li Huaigu said, “Are you discussing giving gifts in the room?”

Teng Yuyi said nonsense: “There is an old steward in my house. It’s his birthday, he is my old loyal servant, and I want to reward him well.”

Li Huaigu said warmly, “I brought a lot of silk and satin from Hangzhou, and now they are piled up in the room, originally to give gifts. “A-Yu, if you like it, take a horse to reward you, the old steward.”

Du Tinglan didn’t know that Xiaoya used Lin Chengyou’s bath soup last night, and only thought that Teng Yuyi wanted to use her uncle’s name to give a gift to the king of Chun’an County. , hurriedly said: “A-Yu’s old steward has a weird temperament, and Lingluo’s money and other things may not be regarded, so A-Yu is worrying about what to reward.”

Li Huaigu said with a smile: “So that’s the case. I still feel strange. , Ah Yu is from a famous family, and she has never seen many treasures since she was a child, so how can anyone in this world look down on the gift she gave.”

Teng Yuyi glanced at her quietly, and suddenly pointed at the corner of Li Huaigu’s skirt: “Sanniang, watch out for your feet.”

Li Huaigu looked down, and it turned out to be a flying insect. She was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she quickly hid behind Du Tinglan: “Oh.”

Teng Yuyi slowly drove the insect away for her: “I didn’t expect you to be so old, and you would still be with Du Tinglan. When I was a child, I was afraid of bugs.”

Li Huaigu held his chest in shock and laughed at himself: “It’s not… I get dizzy when I see these things.”

With such a sudden commotion, naturally no one mentioned the gift-giving thing again.

The three of them quickly arrived at Shisha Lake, and they heard laughter from a distance. It turned out that the juniors from various prefectures were imprisoned at the banquet today. As soon as they heard that they were going to go boating for fun, they couldn’t wait to get off the boat.

As Teng Yuyi walked and admired the scenery, he saw the painted boats in the lake and the sparse and pink bamboos on the shore, which was quite like a spring scenery in the south of the Yangtze River.

When we got to the shore, there happened to be a painting boat slowly approaching the shore. The painting boat was painted in red and silver, and the hull was quite large. It seemed to be able to accommodate a lot of people, and the laughter and laughter could be heard from far away.

The palace servant smiled and said, “This is the ship of Princess Changyi and Princess Azhi.”

Before he finished speaking, a small, white and tender arm stuck out of the window: “Miss Teng, Madam Du, come up quickly.

” Zhi County Lord.”

When the boat was docked, two palace servants jumped off the painting boat, put the boat’s board on the shore, and carefully helped the three to board the boat.

There was chattering on the boat, all the little princes and little ladies from various provinces.

Azhi had been waiting for Teng Yuyi and Du Tinglan, and when she saw the two of them coming over, she happily patted the mattress beside her: “Miss Teng, Madam Du, come and sit.”

She had known Teng Yuyi and Du Tinglan well last time, especially to Teng Yuyi I have a deep memory of forcing the corpse away with a small sword.

Li Huaigu’s smile did not change, and he reservedly stayed where he was.

Only then did Azhi realize that the three of them came together, and she hurriedly said to the palace servant: “For this…”

Li Huaigu bowed his eyes and said, “I have seen His Royal Highness the county master, my name is Li Sanniang.”

Azhi smiled and nodded: “Okay, Li Sanniang… Find a good seat for Li Sanniang.”

Peng Huayue and Peng Jinxiu waved, “Sanniang, come and sit here.”

When the three of them were seated, someone said: “Chen’s Erniang, it’s your turn.”

Chen Erniang shyly waved her hand: “Oh, I can’t tell you.”

“No, no, everyone here today has to tell a strange story that they have heard recently, or else they will Fine for drinking. Chen Erniang, you can’t drink anymore, and if you don’t tell stories, you will be boring.”

Chen Erniang twisted the robe hanging in her arms: “Okay, but if you say it badly, you are not allowed to laugh at me. My mother went back to her hometown last month and heard a strange thing on the way back to Chang’an. She said that a couple was staying in the inn she passed by not long ago. The wife was four or five months pregnant and came to Chang’an to go to relatives. The couple was killed on the bed before they stayed that night. The wife died in a strange way, and the child in her womb disappeared.”

“Yeah, this is a child stealer.”

“No, as the saying goes’ I’m pregnant for ten months’, a fetus at such a small month can’t survive if it is stolen.”

Chen Erniang said, “I-I haven’t finished talking yet. My wet nurse said, it’s not too strange. On the night of the accident, there was a room next door The guests said that he could clearly hear the cry of the child.”

Everyone gasped, this is too strange, a four- to five-month-old fetus can never cry.

Azhi and Changyi were taken aback for a while, and they said with lingering fear: “This story sounds simple, but the more you think about it, the more terrifying you become.”

Then they looked at the rear deck through the window: “Big brother A must have heard of this kind of stealing. The monster of a human fetus, Chen Erniang, stop for a while and wait until Big Brother A comes in.”

There are no less people on the deck than in the cabin, but most of them are the grandsons of the king, who play the flute, drink the tea, and drink tea. Dou Shi’s Dou Shi should be as free as possible.

“Where is Big Brother?”

“That’s not the one who fishes.”

Someone at the bow of the boat was holding a fishing rod, and he was catching fish locally. Everyone fixed their eyes and saw that the young man, Lang Ruochaoxia, was not Lin Chengyou.

Lin Chengyou sat next to Lu Zhaoan, the two chatted and laughed, and they seemed to be chatting very speculatively, but upon closer inspection, Lu Zhaoan was already wet with a large piece on his back.

Teng Yuyi stared at Lu Zhaoan’s back suspiciously. It was only mid-spring, and in such a comfortable environment with wind blowing from all directions, the reason would not sweat, unless… that person was afraid or nervous.

Just at this moment, a gust of wind was sent from the lake, and the wind was wrapped in a wisp of medicinal fragrance. Teng Yuyi smelled it. Isn’t this the smell of the jar of Hu medicine she gave Lin Chengyou yesterday? This medicine is different from the Chinese herbal medicines, it is quite spicy and cool, just apply a little on the body, it will last for a long time. It seems that Lin Chengyou is short of the gold invasive medicine, so he has already used it, but he does not know how effective the medicine is.

Someone asked suspiciously, “Hey, why is there a scent of medicine, someone was injured?”

Chang Yi suddenly asked, “Did brother A change the medicine?”

Azhi said, “Brother said that his gold-chuang medicine ran out, I couldn’t find a good one for a while, so I had to make do with other medicines temporarily.”

At this time, the maid reluctantly came in and replied, “The prince refused to come in, he said he wanted to go fishing, he was busy, and wanted the two highnesses to play by themselves.”
