Imperial Physician Yao was quiet on the surface at this time, but he was nervous in his heart, and cold sweat broke out on his body.Although it is said that "the small is hidden in the wilderness, and the big is hidden in the city", but ordinary people are afraid of meeting with the official messenger, rather than being afraid of the official mission to check the house, it is better to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, and not see anyone, so as not to be recognized by the enemy.Mama Yun is old, she didn't come with her this time, Zheng Qingchuan asked her and Mama He to take care of the grange outside the capital, Chi Yue and Xiuqiao because they had children to take care of, Zheng Qingchuan also let them stay, this time only the nurse and Qiao'er followed Zheng Qingchuan.Ah Qing and Ah Yun also only brought small cucumbers and small melons, and everyone was simple.The nurse got Zheng Qingchuan's order and was assigning a house to everyone.Ah Qing suddenly asked: "Qiqi, why did we rush this time as if we were hiding" Although Su Mu didn't tell her explicitly, she had already guessed.Zheng Qingchuan praised: "Ah Qingchuan is smart, but by the way, it is also very good to be able to travel in the mountains and rivers" Ah Yun interjected: "Why do you want to hide from the second grandfather, aunt, and eldest sister, are they hiding separately from us" Zheng Qingchuan's eyes were gloomy, and after a while, he replied: "I don't know much either."
But I think the second grandfather is very smart, he will be thoughtful," Ah Yun nodded.Ah Qing still muttered: "What kind of person is so powerful that the second grandfather is afraid that he is not only the emperor, is there a second person" Ah Qing has heard a lot of gossip before, others say that Mrs.
Hong's official is big, and it can be said that one person is above ten thousand people, and that one person refers to the emperor.Actually, this kind of gossip is mixed with flattery and exaggerated a little, but Ah Qing thinks that this is a good word from the Quahongjia and likes to listen to it, so he believes it.Zheng Qingchuan patted Ah Qing's shoulder and said softly: "The king of the forest was originally a tiger, but if the tiger is old and not powerful, lions, leopards, pythons and other powerful animals are bound to come to snatch the hat of the king of the forest.So, hide. ”Ah Qing and Zheng Qingchuan looked at each other and already understood.Ah Yun didn't understand, thinking that Zheng Qingchuan was really telling a story, so he said: "However, the second brother said that even if the tiger is as big as the lion, it may not be able to beat the lion and the lion is also the king of the forest."
Even if the tiger has the word king on its forehead, it may not necessarily take advantage. ”Zheng Qingchuan thought to himself: Hong Zhengchang has a lot of gossip, every time I hear Ah Qing and Ah Yun say "Second Brother Said" and repeat Hong Zhengchang's words, Zheng Qingchuan can't help laughing.She digressed the topic and said with a smile: "Let's write a list, prepare to buy things, if you really live in the mountains, you can't live a primitive life." ”On the fourth day when they arrived at the foot of Mount Tai, everyone suddenly heard Hong Zhengchang's laughter.Everyone suddenly got up, Hong Zheng had a sad face for the past few days, and now he finally smiled, and some people even thought: Don't be crazy, everyone hurriedly ran out of the house and came outside to look.Su Mu, Hong Zhengchang, Master Du, and Zheng Qingchuan were standing together and talking.Master Du said: "There is a Taoist temple on a certain branch, and the Taoist priests in the Taoist temple use cinnabar to make pills, but they all died violently.The incense was not prosperous there, and by the time others found them, the corpses had already become a meal for the insects, and only the skeletons remained.Everyone under the mountain said that it was haunted, and they were afraid that they would go there, young master, you said that we couldn't live there" Hong Zheng was a big man, so he was not afraid at all, and smiled with a smile: "I have already gone to see that the house is solid, saving us the trouble of building a house, I see that I am not afraid of ghosts, but I can be a ghost hunter" Master Du did not agree, just looked at Su Mu, waiting for Su Mu's answer.In a moment, the third young master and the fourth young master of the Hong family also stood by and listened, with a look of fear on their faces."
Are those people all dead, didn't they meet the monsters who became spirits" Zheng Qingchuan saw their cranky self-scared appearance, and couldn't help but explain: "Those Taoist priests burned the pill and ate it, maybe the pill contained mercury, and if they ate too much mercury, they died of poisoning."
This is not unusual. ”The third young master of the Hong family was still afraid: "However, the ghosts of so many dead people are wandering there" Zheng Qingchuan joked: "Isn't the second cousin good at catching ghosts" The third young master and the fourth young master of the Hong family glared at Zheng Qingchuan with unkind expressions at the same time, thinking: A female streamer deliberately appears bold, is it to ridicule us for not knowing how to pretend to understand words and not speculating for more than half a sentence, Zheng Qingchuan no longer cares about them.Su Mu said: "Third cousin, fourth cousin, if you don't want to live in the Taoist temple, then build a house for you next to the Taoist temple, is it okay" Hong Zhengchang suddenly interjected with a big grin: "Where do we need such trouble, we are not here to enjoy happiness, and we are not planning to die in this mountain and forest, just to live temporarily, everything is simple How can a man be more squeamish than a little girl" The third young master and the fourth young master of the Hong family remembered that their grandfather told them to listen to their brother's words, so they didn't dare to talk more, but they were aggrieved in their hearts.In the next few days, some people went up the mountain to clean the Taoist temple, sprinkle sulfur and quicklime, and Imperial Physician Yao thought of all the medicines he could think of to repel poisonous insects, and personally went to the mountain to direct everyone to do a big cleaning.Zheng Qingchuan, Ah Qing, Ah Yun and Mrs.
Yao were busy buying food and quilts to keep out the cold.Su Mu and Hong Zhengchang went to get acquainted with the customs of Mount Tai every day, and made friends with a few locals by the way, but they did not say their real surnames.The third and fourth young masters of the Hong family were busy buying things to ward off evil spirits, and even exchanged gold ingots for a wooden sign with a talisman drawn, and were reprimanded by Hong Zheng for a few words, saying that they were squandering indiscriminately.Five days later, everyone carried their burdens and burdens up the mountain.Zheng Qingchuan is used to climbing mountains, but the three young grandmothers of the Hong family can't bear this hardship, and they all cry out for foot pain, saying that there are blisters growing on their feet, and they cry out in pain.Originally, Zheng Qingchuan added some confidence in her heart, because she could persevere, but after a while, when she saw her cousin-in-law and cousin-in-law being carried on their backs by their husbands and going up the mountain, she suddenly envied her in her heart and thought: The crying child has milk to eat, and it was really good.When encountering a steep slope, Su Mu pulled Zheng Qingchuan's hand, Zheng Qingchuan pulled Ah Qing again, Ah Qing pulled Ah Yun's hand again, and the nurse protected Ah Yun behind.Old Madam Su was carried by Master Du.The mountain is high, the things on the back are heavy, and there are many people, one waits for one, delays a lot of time, until the sun sets, and finally sees the white figure of the Taoist temple, and suddenly there is a woman wiping sweat, while sighing: "We set off in the morning, and arrived at dusk, if you send someone to buy vegetables at the bottom of the mountain in the future, won't you be able to eat it the next day" Ah Yun replied with great interest: "I'm not afraid that my brother will hunt and can barbecue" Everyone saw that the house was in front of them, no longer verbose, the pace was faster, and finally finished the mountain road, Seeing the plaque on the door that read "Xian Dan View", everyone was unimpressed.If there is really an elixir here, why is it so unlucky, and the Taoist priests inside have all died violently, but seeing that this Taoist temple is built solidly and has high walls, he is suddenly a little happy.Master Du smiled heartily: "Haha, I don't want to be a Taoist priest, if someone sees the three words of the elixir view, they come in and take a look, and if they can't see the Taoist priest, wouldn't they be suspicious" Hong Zhengchang also laughed and said: "Let's take off this plaque and write on the back: The back of the burrow is facing outward, and then hang it up" So he said this, and immediately did this, and the rest of the people couldn't wait to go in and divide the room and pack up their things.Zheng Qingchuan and Su Mu live in the same room, next door to the left lives Mrs.
Su, A Qing and A Yun, and next door to the nurse and the big maids.Their house was on the west side of the Taoist temple, the east side was given to the Yao family and the best room was divided among the three brothers of the Hong family.The main hall was repaired, wooden partitions were added, and it was also turned into a house, with small servants on the left and husbands and wives among the servants on the right.There are both kitchens and wells, and although the sparrows are small, they are well-equipped, and some people are optimistic and live and work in peace and contentment.Some people are sad, feeling that compared to the home in the capital, this place is really too simple, and living on this high mountain, even going to the street to buy things is annoying, and some people even say: Those who grab the throne hurry up, and when the dust settles, we can go back to Beijing as soon as possible.Qingshan, Baishui and Fuyun took turns to follow Su Mu down the mountain to find out the news, they had lived on the mountain for less than half a month, and suddenly heard the shocking new news: the four princes forced the emperor to take the throne, and then the four princes and the emperor died inexplicably, some people said that the second prince sent someone to assassinate him, and some people said that the capital was done by several princes The capital has been messed up Bad news every day There are new highlights every day "The second prince occupies the palace" "The third prince under the banner of avenging the first emperor, gathered several generals and thousands of soldiers, broke into the palace, and killed the second prince, occupied the palace and was about to ascend the throne", "The third prince sent people to kill the fifth prince and the sixth prince, it seems that the throne of the third prince has no way to run" "It's not good, Prince Su led the troops to rebel, captured the three princes alive, and robbed the jade seal, is it true that the new emperor is Prince Su, I heard that the royal forest army and soldiers in the capital have taken refuge in Prince Su, and the number of tens of thousands has surrounded several other palaces, and the prince Su is powerful" "Oh no, Prince Xin escaped from Prince Su, and actually gathered the troops in the south, The banner of leading the troops north is to exterminate King Su, a brutal traitor, and put the blame for killing the first emperor and the four princes on the head of Prince Su, it seems that he has been prepared for a long time" "Prince Su heard that there are spies in the court who support Prince Xin, and imprisoned the ministers in the palace" Imperial Doctor Yao's face was solemn, as if covered with dead ashes, and sighed: "They killed each other, but they caused others to suffer" Su Mu and Hong Zhengchang thought to themselves that Old Lady Hong's official position is so big, where can he avoid the surveillance of Prince Su, I don't know how his old man is now, compared to Imperial Doctor Yao, The two of them were preoccupied, and their faces were as gray as death.In private, Zheng Qingchuan asked Su Mu: "Last time you saw Prince Xin in Jingzhou, do you think he is very sure":
