Su Qi accompanied his grandfather to live in Taoyuan Town for one day, and returned to Shangjing the next day.The little guy was guarding in his yard, and when he saw him come in, he hurriedly greeted him, "Big young master." ”Su Qi glanced at him, raised his feet and entered the study, "How's the investigation?"
”"Back to the eldest young master, the little one found out that Miss Lin Luoxing in the Lin Mansion really has no siblings," seeing the eldest young master's brows furrowed slightly, the little one hurriedly continued, "But when the little one was investigating the back house of the Lin Mansion, he heard some other rumors. ”He didn't know how the young master would ask the young master on a whim whether the Miss Lin family had any siblings, and he could only tell everything he heard about Miss Lin Luoxing and the second lady Lin one by one."
That Miss Lin Luoxing's mother-in-law once had a twin sisters, who lived in the Lin Mansion many years ago due to an accident in the family, and later married from the Lin Mansion.It's just that on the way to get married to other places, the family sending team accidentally encountered robbers, and the family sending team and the bride did not survive.The news came back to the Lin Mansion, and the second Mrs.
Lin, who was pregnant with Miss Lin Luoxing, had a fetal gas, and gave birth to Miss Lin Luoxing the next day.However, after Miss Lin Luoxing was born, all the maids and servants who served Mrs.
Lin were sent to the remote village, and together with Mrs.
Lin's midwife, they have since disappeared.The little one thought it was strange, so he asked those servants and the midwife to inquire in many ways, that Miss Lin Luoxing should have been born less than a month, but it seemed that she was born at full term. ”After the little guy finished speaking, he arched his hand, "Big young master, that's all there is to the little one." ”Su Qi nodded at him, "Okay, you go down first." ”When the people left the study, Su Qi thought about what the little guy said again.His people were cultivated by themselves, and if they didn't feel strange, they would never report it to him.And the biggest doubt in this remark is that a baby born less than a month ago is just born as if it was born at term.And the subordinates and the midwife were all sent away, which was obviously trying to cover up something.So, what to cover up?
Su Qi picked up a pen and wrote the word twin on the paper, and then wrote borrowed in the back.thought of the abnormality of the moment when he asked Lin Luoxing if he had any siblings and sisters.He had a bold guess.Tearing up the paper under his hand, Su Qi walked out of the study and beckoned the little girl to come over, "Let's go and check if it was an accident that the twin sister of Second Mrs.
Lin encountered robbers on the way to get married." ”The little guy was stunned for a moment, and nodded hurriedly.Taoyuan Town.After Wei Xi drank the medicinal food specially boiled for her by Master Blister to replenish qi and blood, she consciously brushed the bowl and put it away, and was tidying up behind Blister Chen in the kitchen, "Master Blister, tomorrow I want to try to boil the medicinal food I drink, can you help watch it from the side?"
”Wei Chen cleaned up the stove for a moment, "Girl, you've only been watching it for a few days, and you want to boil it yourself, don't be blind with a material." ”Wei Xi pursed his lips and handed over the notes he had been making on the side in the past few days, "I think I should be able to get it out." ”Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows, stretched out his hand to take it, and saw the dense words written on the paper in front of him, he was stunned at first, "Girl, you have a lot of personality." ”Not to mention that the ridicule was over, he still watched it seriously.There was silence in the kitchen.Xiao Chen's eyes swept over the last word, and then he looked up at Wei Xi's eyes, which were already a little more complicated."
You girl is careful."
He boiled medicinal food for Wei Xi a total of five times.On this, Wei Xi wrote down the steps of each of his cooking meals, including how much fire he used, how much water he added, when to put the ingredients, how long it took between the materials, and even why he put it like this, Wei Xi wrote down his own understanding.And some of these understandings, I have to say, are really right.This made him a little suspicious that Wei Xi really had a talent for this medicinal diet.However, the most important thing is to see how you really get started."
That's it, tomorrow you come to boil, I'll watch from the sidelines.""
Master Xie Bao."
Waiting for Wei Xi to leave, Xiao Chen stood quietly in front of the stove for a while.He has been making medicinal diets for so many years, but this is really the first time that someone can deduce his intentions in medicinal diets just by looking at them.Could it be that he really wants to take an apprentice here?
Wei Xi didn't know what Master Xiao thought and struggled with after she left, and when she returned to the house, she saw that Zong Xu was busy, so she didn't bother, and walked to the other side to continue to make her own plan.Waiting until the elusive Seven Kills Secret Guard left, Wei Xi got up, walked to Zong Xu and sat down, "How is it?"
”This question is really endless, but Zong Xu can still pick it up, "In a few days, Qingyun Prefecture should be able to post a notice about Dayong Express."
How is it on your end?
”"Wei San has already arrived at the Qingyun Prefecture Prefecture, and the place is easy to find, but the manpower is not very easy to recruit, after all, you need to be literate and can easily settle accounts.""
Don't worry, take it one step at a time," Zong Xu comforted when he saw Wei Xi's frowning, "It will definitely be done." ”"I know, it's easier said than done, I just didn't expect that there are really too few literate people in Dayong.Out of ten, there may not be one yet. ”She has encountered this problem more than once in recent years.This made her more and more eager to popularize literacy and reading immediately.But you can't become fat by eating in one breath, this kind of thing can't be rushed.Thinking of this, Wei Xi took a deep breath, "I heard my brother say yesterday that there has been a fight in the court recently?"
”Zong Xu nodded, looking at his expression as if he was saying something that had nothing to do with him, "The crown prince has lost the help of the third prince and Xia Ge Lao, and the sixth prince has lost the help of the eldest prince, plus His Majesty intends to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and use the six princes to contain the prince, in case his position is remembered by the prince early, and if he does not press down, he will add fuel to the fire, and now the court is becoming more and more chaotic."
I retreated to the sidelines, neither fighting for power nor taking sides, in the eyes of His Majesty, I was an acquaintance, and he didn't care about me. ”Wei Xi: "Your Majesty's hand is really slippery!"
”Zong Xu smiled and didn't say anything, but he agreed with his expression."
Actually, the teacher has come to me a few times."
After a long while, Zong Xu spoke.Wei Xi was holding her plan to check for errors and omissions, and when she heard this, she raised her eyes and looked over, "Mr.
Shang?
”Zong Xu nodded, his eyes fell on Wei Xi's face for a while, "He once bluntly asked me if I was interested in that position." ”This topic was also the first time he mentioned it in front of Wei Xi."
Then how did Your Highness come back?""
I said, yes."
Seeing Wei Xi raise his eyebrows, his eyes were still calm, and Zong Xu was not surprised.Such a smart little girl, I guess I already knew his plans a long time ago.Wei Xi felt that there was a reason why Zong Xu suddenly said this, so he couldn't understand it and asked directly: "Why did Your Highness suddenly tell me about this?"
”"Because, I don't want to see such a miasma again."
He had thought of hibernating, taking power into his hands without a trace.It may take a little longer to achieve this plan, but it is also the least nerve-wracking way.But now, he didn't want to endure his father's unscrupulous fighting with the crown prince and the sixth prince so slowly.Wei Xi was silent for a moment, "With His Highness's temperament, it is also remarkable that he can endure it for such a long time." ”After getting along for such a long time, Wei Xi can be regarded as having figured out some of Zong Xu's personalities.In the eyes of this person, there is no room for sand, and no matter what he does, he will engrave the word serious into his bones.However, whether it is Emperor Mingde or the sixth prince of the crown prince, they all stepped on his bottom line over and over again.Zong Xu smiled and touched Wei Xi's hair, "In a month, I will return to Shangjing." ”Wei Xi thought: Shangjing City in that month will probably be even more unstable.She didn't ask Zong Xu how she planned to seize power after she went back, after all, even if she knew, she wouldn't be able to help, "Before you go back, take care of your stomach." ”"Okay."
It was night, and Wei Xi was rarely a little tossing and turning.I have to say that Zong Xu's words during the day still had some impact on her.She has read a lot of history books in her father's study, and the struggle for imperial power has always been a cruel and very cruel struggle.It is rare for an emperor to abdicate normally, the father kills the son, the son kills the father, and the supreme position has always been stained with blood."
Sure enough, no one is immune."
Wei Xi muttered to himself, shook his head to get rid of the chaotic thoughts in his mind, and then fell asleep.Wei Xi's medicinal diet the next day was not successfully boiled.However, it is not a complete failure, in the words of Wei Chen, it is already very good to be able to boil it into such a semi-finished product for the first time.It's just that Wei Xi himself is not satisfied.When Blau Chen was boiling medicinal food for Zong Xu, she held her bowl of semi-finished products and quietly thought about what she had gone wrong.When she looked back occasionally, she saw the little girl squatting in front of the low table in the kitchen, looking at the medicinal food in the bowl with bitterness and hatred, and from time to time she was writing and drawing in the book with medicinal diet notes on the cover.He shook his head and simply went with the girl.After putting out the boiled medicinal food, Blau Chen handed the bowl to Zong Xu, who was sitting quietly next to him, and then walked behind Wei Xi, wanting to see what this girl had written.As a result, there are a bunch of ghost drawings.I saw that he was confused!
Since he couldn't understand it, he was just about to leave, when he saw Wei Xi close the notebook with a snap, "Master Blister, I want to try again." ”"He wanted to say that you better not spoil the materials, but when he met the little girl's bright eyes, he still frowned and nodded.It wasn't his silver that was wasted anyway.Summing up the lessons learned from the last time he boiled medicinal food, this time Wei Xi's hand was obviously more stable, and Xiao Chen couldn't help but nod as he looked at it from the side.Time passed slowly until a familiar aroma of medicinal food permeated the kitchen.Blister Chen was so shocked that his face was expressionless.Zong Xu stood on the other side of Wei Xi, looked at the black soup in the pot, and said with a smile: "It's done!"
