Prince Chun'an took a sip of tea and said slowly:
"The Lin'an Marquis Mansion is very beautiful, and there is a large lotus pond in the back garden. Chengyou decided to create a flower pond in order to win during the hide-and-seek game.
"At that time, he didn't know how to swim, but he couldn't hold back his courage, so he found a straw and bit it in his mouth, and sneaked into the lotus pond. The friends failed to find Chengyou in the garden, so they had to swarm to other places.
Chengyou waited for a while, thought he was sure to win, and then got out of the lotus pond. Unexpectedly, the bottom of the pond was full of water plants, which suddenly entangled his feet. "
When Prince Chun'an said this, he gently rubbed the clear Xing kiln white porcelain tea cup in his hand. He had heard about this three times and remembered it quite clearly.
Lin Chengyou struggled in the water for a few times, and finally lost the straw in his mouth. He called for help, but he had already driven away the servants because he was afraid of being discovered. Later, the servants sneaked back to look for the young master, and then mistakenly
I thought Lin Chengyou was with those young gentlemen.
Just when Lin Chengyou was fluttering desperately, a female doll appeared from behind the flowers. Seeing someone drowning, the female doll threw the kite into the water in desperation. Unfortunately, she was too weak and almost fell into it the first time.
In the pond, the second time the girl learned to be smart and knew how to tie the kite string to the tree on the shore. Although it was still unstable, Lin Chengyou had already mastered Qinggong by then, and climbed up with this little strength.
When the servants heard the news and rushed over, they saw Lin Chengyou and a girl sitting side by side behind a flower bush on the shore. The two of them were talking back and forth for an unknown amount of time.
The servants wanted to come forward to serve, but Lin Chengyou was annoyed that they didn't arrive in time and asked them to get out of the way. The servants knew Xiao Langjun's temper, so they hurriedly sent a few people to deliver a message to Princess Cheng, while the rest watched eagerly.
Waiting.
Because of this, the servant knew what the young man said to the young lady.
At that time, Lin Chengyou was dripping wet. While wiping the water on his face, he asked the girl: "Are you passing by here? Or are you staying here?"
The female doll held the stuffed doll in her arms and refused to talk.
Lin Chengyou asked again: "Why is your face covered with snot? Oh, I know. You were hiding in the flowers and crying just now. Why are you crying? Where are your father and mother?"
The female doll was very angry and pushed Lin Chengyou hard.
Lin Chengyou actually didn't get angry, he just smiled and said: "Tell me, whoever made you unhappy, I know how to repay kindness. You saved my life just now, so I can vent your anger on your behalf."
The female doll was still silent, and Lin Chengyou looked at her: "The doll in your arms is so dirty, why don't you let your mother-in-law sew another one for you?"
The female doll burst into tears.
Lin Chengyou hurriedly took off the sachet from his waist: "Don't cry, this is the pear candy made by the cook in our house. It is very delicious. My sister likes it. The candy is not wet, you can try it."
The girl put the candy in her mouth and chewed it slowly. Seeing that she liked it, Lin Chengyou simply gave the whole bag to her: "My sister can't walk yet, otherwise she can play with you. Her name is Azhi.
May I have your name?"
The girl ate candy for a while, and finally she was willing to speak: "My name is Agu."
"Agu?" Lin Chengyou asked strangely, "How come someone is called Agu?"
The female doll was very unhappy: "Agu is Agu, it has nothing to do with you!"
Lin Chengyou smiled and said: "Okay, it's none of my business, but you saved my life just now. I can't leave you here alone. Do you miss your mother-in-law? I'll take you to find her."
The girl had candy in her mouth and started crying again for some reason. Lin Chengyou had no choice but to say, "How about I take you to find my grandma? My grandma likes children very much, especially girls like you.
Moreover, she knows many female relatives, so maybe she knows where your mother-in-law is."
Ah Gu thought for a while and agreed with Lin Chengyou to pull her up. After walking a few steps, the group of young gentlemen came back. Seeing Lin Chengyou holding a young lady in his hand, they all shouted: "Ada, you give it to yourself."
The divination is so accurate, you have only met this girl once, and you actually took the initiative to play with her."
Lin Chengyou: "Nonsense! I only care about her because I feel sorry for her."
The gang of boys continued to make noises: "But you are holding her hand. Ah Da, tell yourself whether you want to marry a wife. The fortune teller says that you are destined to fall into trouble with the little lady. Is it because of this little girl?"
Started?"
Lin Chengyou stepped forward and kicked the man: "You fart!"
A group of young masters soon started fighting fiercely. The servants rushed in from all directions to start a fight. A Gu also rushed to help Lin Chengyou with his puppet in his arms. Unfortunately, he was too weak to get close.
After finally pulling away, the servants were in a hurry to change Lin Chengyou's clothes. Agu caught up with him holding the bag of candy: "Little brother, your candy."
Seeing this, the friends started teasing Lin Chengyou again: "Ah Da, your wife wants to give you candy."
Lin Chengyou became angry from embarrassment, turned to the girl and said, "Stop following me."
As soon as he finished changing his clothes, he hurried back to the pool to look for Agu, but unfortunately Agu was no longer there. Princess Cheng wondered why her son was looking for someone everywhere, so the servant told Princess Cheng everything that had happened before.
When Yu Fengyu heard this, he couldn't help but answered: "Whose young lady is A Gu?"
Prince Chun'an shook his head: "When my sister-in-law heard about this, she immediately ordered people to help Chengyou find this little savior. Unfortunately, there were too many guests in the Marquis's mansion that day, and only the family members of the old Marquis' old tribe came.
There were hundreds of people, including young men and young ladies from various families. It was strange that none of the officials who came to the Hou Mansion that day were from Yangzhou.
"My sister-in-law thought that the accents in the south of the Yangtze River are similar. Chengyou has never been to Yangzhou, so I don't know if she heard it wrong. However, after asking all the female relatives who came to the house that day, none of them had a nickname of 'Agu'. I also asked about that day.
There is no news whether anyone brought puppets to the banquet.
"This search lasted for more than half a year. When the classmates of Chongwen Hall learned that Chengyou was asking around for the whereabouts of that young lady, they teased him about it as soon as they met. Chengyou had never suffered a loss in front of his friends, but because of this incident
was repeatedly ridiculed.
"At that time, Taoist Master Qingxuzi began to teach Chengyou how to practice talismans. Chengyou was looking through the tombs in the temple and accidentally discovered a box with an ancient book and a copper awl locked inside.
This is the reason why Chengyou got sick."
Yu Fengyu said in surprise: "Ancient books? Could it be that they record talismans? What is that copper awl?"
Prince Chun'an said: "I don't know anything about Taoist talismans. I only know that this talisman is very evil. It was taught by an evil Taoist in Kunlun Mountains a hundred years ago. It is said that this evil Taoist fell into love when he was young.
, for a time, he tried many methods to get the woman he liked, but failed to get the woman. The evil way was unbearable and he vowed to practice all the evil arts in the world. After Qi Hanxiayu spent several years, he finally refined a method called "Wang".
Jiubuju's talisman magic.
"'The King's Jiu is not here'?" Juesheng Qizhi said in surprise, "Isn't this a type of Xiang Gua?"
The Prince of Chun'an County sarcastically said: "It is named after the Taoist Zhouyi, but it is actually connected with the witchcraft. It corresponds to the ninety-three lines, and there are poisonous insects hidden in the copper cones.
"That poisonous insect was originally used by the witch queen of Nanzhao Kingdom to punish disloyal people. The evil way introduced it into the Taoist Five Elements Yin and Yang Technique, which can be said to add evil to evil.
"Once the copper cone pierces the skin, the voodoo insects will burrow into the blood vessels. What is restrained is the sixth day of the sixth lunar month, and what is damaged is the sixth and second yao. When a man practices this technique when he is young, even when he reaches the age of understanding, the worms will also
It works in the heart, making people heartless and heartless."
Yu Fengyu was furious when he heard this. It's no wonder that the young prince has grown to eighteen years old and has never been close to women. He thought that the young prince was not enlightened, but it turned out that there were such twists and turns behind the scenes.
He slapped the table and said: "Absurd, ridiculous."
Juesheng and Qizhi looked at each other in astonishment. What kind of vicious curse is "unfeeling and heartless"? Is the feeling of unrequited love more painful than heart-gnawing? Otherwise, why would the evil way treat themselves like this?
The Prince of Chun'an County said: "It's not enough for him to practice the evil way himself. He also wants to harm others. In order to tempt future generations to practice this evil art, he deliberately wrote all kinds of benefits on the scroll. Chengyou is still young, so after reading the evil way at the beginning of the volume,
When I wrote that paragraph, I thought: As long as I practice this technique, when I grow up, I won't be confused about women's affairs. In this way, the words said in the hexagram will no longer work.
After I have finished my practice, I will go back to the Chongwen Hall and do my divination in public to see who dares to laugh at me.
"This kid is not afraid of anything. He made up his mind and gave it a try. When Taoist Master Qingxuzi came over, Chengyou was already possessed. At first, the Taoist priest didn't know what was going on until he discovered that the kid had an extra one on the back of his neck.
Only then did he realize that he was poisoned.
"After that, Taoist Master Qingxuzi exhausted his lifelong skills but failed to expel the poisonous insects from Chengyou's body. It was for this reason that Taoist Master Qingxuzi refined the famous Liuyuan Dan. Unfortunately, it could only be
Cleaning up the demonic poison has no effect on the poisonous poison. Every year when Chengyou has an attack, he can only use medicinal soup to temporarily suppress the poisonous poison."
With a click, the door to the side room opened from the inside, and Duke An Guo looked worried: "Two little Taoist priests, have you finished drawing the talisman paper?"
Prince Chun'an smiled slightly and stopped talking.
Juesheng and Qizhi sent the talismans in, but were kicked out by Lin Chengyou: "If you can't handle today's affairs, just come back and receive the punishment."
Juesheng and Qizhi walked out of the temple in dejection and got into the carriage, their minds filled with the things they had just done.
"I forgot to ask Your Highness the County Prince, whether senior brother has found the young lady named A Gu later."
Juesheng shook his head: "Probably not. If we find it, His Highness the County Prince will not need a 'girl doll' that is longer than a 'girl doll'. He can tell Yu Fengyu whose wife it is."
"That's right. At that time, senior brother was poisoned before he found Agu. When he recovered, he might have forgotten this matter long ago. Hey, 'Agu', 'Agu', what's the matter?
There will be someone called 'Agu', if senior brother hears it correctly, will the young lady lie to senior brother?"
Juesheng held his head in his hands and said, "Don't think about it now. When we get to the Teng Mansion, we will still have to deceive Lady Teng as our senior brother said."
Qi Zhi raised his sleeves and wiped his sweat. This was the first time he was scheming someone. He didn't know if it would work. Madam Teng looked hard to deceive, but it was her senior brother who she offended. He had known him for so long and he had never seen him scheming.
People have failed in this matter before.
Qinrenfang was not far from Qingyun Temple, and they arrived in a short while. Juesheng and Qizhi went to Teng Mansion first. They were told that Teng Yuyi was staying at her aunt's house these days, so they changed their route to Du Mansion.
When the two of them arrived at the door, there was already a waiter waiting for them in Du Mansion.
Juesheng and Qizhi made their intentions known, and the interviewer was extremely enthusiastic: "Two Taoist priests, please come in quickly. Madam and wife have been waiting for a long time."
***
Teng Yuyi was kicked out by Mrs. Du last night, but she didn't sleep well. When it was dawn, she vaguely heard someone in the neighboring room exclaiming. She opened her eyes suddenly, and Qiyun and Biluo opened the curtain and came in: "Madam, Madam Du
woke up."
Teng Yuyi got out of bed: "Where are Duanfu, Bai Zhi and the others?"
"Duanfu is resting in the outer courtyard. The steward hasn't sent any news yet. Bai Zhi and Hong Nu have already woken up."
Teng Yuyi took three steps at a time and then two steps to the adjacent room. The servants came in and out holding towels, and Du Tinglan was lying on the edge of the bed vomiting.
Teng Yuyi thought of the tragic death of her cousin in her previous life, and hesitated, fearing that the vision in front of her was an illusion that would disappear at the touch of a touch.
Mrs. Du thought that Teng Yuyi was overjoyed: "Yu'er, come quickly, your sister is looking for you."
