31, Chapter 31(1/5)
Teng Yuyi thought for a while and wrote on the plate: Have your senior brothers been playing with any medicinal powder in the Taoist temple recently?
"This - no." Qi Zhi thought about it carefully, "Senior brother has been much busier than before since he went to Dali Temple last year. He also spent more time in the temple summoning the soul of Mrs. An Guogong last time. In addition to
Besides, it’s been a long time since I took care of those herbs.”
Juesheng said: "Ms. Teng, are you trying to find a way to detoxify the poison? But senior brother respects the master very much. Even if he makes a mute medicine, he will not use the herbs in the temple. I guess he probably made it outside, next to senior brother.
There are a lot of young people from the countryside, and there are a lot of strangers that we know in Qulu Lane, so it couldn’t be easier to get some novel things to play with.”
A glimmer of hope ignited in Teng Yuyi's belly. It was easy to say that it was not a Taoist thing. Uncle Cheng knew a lot of people. Do you want Uncle Cheng to find someone to give it a try? It doesn't matter who is the best, as long as he can help her detoxify.
She also wrote: Speaking of strangers, you often go out for training with your master and senior brothers, and you must have seen a lot of strangers.
Juesheng became more energetic and stretched out three fat fingers: "I dare not boast. I started walking around Chang'an City when I was six and a half years old. It has been almost three years now."
Teng Yuyi pretended to be shocked: No wonder he is so knowledgeable at such a young age.
Qi Zhi added shyly: "Qingyun Temple is famous all over the world. In addition to Chang'an, there are also many people coming to our temple from other places. We have been with the Master since we were young and have met many capable people. I don't know about Lady Teng."
What do you want to know?
Teng Yuyi: Okay, then please help me take a look at this hidden weapon.
She slowly opened a scroll in the tray, and the light illuminated a strange object as thin as rain.
Juesheng and Qizhi were stunned: "Hey, what is this?"
Teng Yuyi: Have you ever seen any aliens using this kind of hidden weapon?
The two of them searched their hearts out: "I've never seen it before. There are many sects and sects in Chang'an City, but we've never seen anyone use such a thin concealed weapon. Can it hurt someone?"
Teng Yuyi clicked on the drawing paper: It looks thin, but it can peel off skin and break bones.
Juesheng screamed in surprise: "What should this be done for?"
Qi Zhi thought seriously for a long time: "The thinnest hidden weapon we have ever seen is Senior Brother's Soul-locking Zhi, but that thing was originally transformed into a worm. If Senior Brother makes it thick, it will become thicker, and if Brother makes it thin, it will become thicker."
It is thin, but after all, it likes to eat sugarcane pulp all year round. After arriving in our temple, it ate well and slept soundly. Its body has become much stronger than a hundred years ago, and now it is as thick as a little finger at its thinnest point."
Teng Yuyi was slightly disappointed. Uncle Cheng had never seen this person before, and Juesheng and Qizhi had never heard of this magic. It seemed that this person either didn't use this skill often, or was not from Chang'an. Otherwise, given Uncle Cheng's ability, he should have done it long ago.
I found some clues.
Just writing these few sentences on the tray has already taken Teng Yuyi a lot of time. If she had to inquire more carefully, she might not be able to finish it until dawn. She hesitated for a moment, then rolled up the scroll with an apologetic look on her face: "I've been bothering you for so long."
, the two Taoist priests should be tired by now, right? It’s time for me to say goodbye without delaying the Taoist priest’s rest.
Qi Zhi and Juesheng said hurriedly: "We have to be careful of the corpse evil coming to our door tonight. We shouldn't just sleep alone. Lady Teng came to visit us. It's too late for us to be happy."
The two chattered to the corridor, and the maid in front of the steps came over with a lantern. Teng Yuyi went down the steps and urged them back to the house.
When the two returned to the house, she thought as they walked. Although Juesheng and Qizhi were young, they behaved very well. It must be related to the teachings of Qing Xuzi. I wonder if the two have a mother-in-law. They always treat their master and senior brother
He talks about it but never mentions his family. With such a warm and loyal temperament, logically he shouldn't be like this. Could he be an orphan?
She was moved with compassion when she met Uncle Cheng and his servants delivering midnight snacks. She opened the lid of the box and saw that there were two plates of jade dew balls as white as jade and a large bowl of apricots filled with hot fragrance.
Butter porridge.
Cheng Bo said: "According to the lady's instructions, the snacks are the jade dew dumplings that the Taoist loves to eat, and the porridge is made by a special vegetarian kitchen, and there is not even a trace of meat or fish on it."
Teng Yuyi: Taoist priest Qi Zhi had a broken hand bone and could not eat anything. He took away the apricot cheese porridge and replaced it with two bowls of konjac sauce and sunflower soup (note 1). The two Taoist priests can't sleep tonight, and they may wake up late tomorrow.
, you should be careful with them in the morning and don't disturb them.
The servant was shocked, knowing that he was an honored guest. He didn't expect that the young lady would take him so seriously, so he quickly roused himself and went to prepare.
Cheng Bo then said: "Madam, the saint entertained me and several important ministers with a banquet. I heard that the banquet was very enjoyable, and the banquet has not yet been dispersed. My lord sent someone to tell me that I will not leave the palace at any time, so that I can rest early."
Teng Yuyi nodded, and Uncle Cheng glanced at her worriedly: "I have long wanted to ask Madam, you were fine when you went out in the afternoon, but why did you come back with a hoarse voice?"
Teng Yuyi wrote: I was about to ask Uncle Cheng to help me think of a solution.
***
Teng Yuyi didn't sleep well that night. When she woke up, it was past midnight. She opened the curtain and took a dim look. Du Tinglan was sitting on a low couch in front of the window, reading.
Teng Yuyi struggled to sit up, then collapsed again.
Du Tinglan heard the noise and walked towards this side with a smile: "Wake up? My uncle has come to ask you a few times. I heard that you haven't woken up yet and asked us not to wake you up. Do you still want to sleep? It will be noon if you go to bed again."
Teng Yuyi rubbed her eyes, stuffed the stuffed doll in her arms back to the pillow, opened the curtain, and slowly got out of bed.
Du Tinglan ordered Chunrong and others to come in to serve him, and said softly to Teng Yuyi: "Don't lose your temper. It will be easier when uncle comes back. Let's tell uncle what happened yesterday and ask him to negotiate with Lin Chengyou. No matter how arrogant Lin Chengyou is, he will never
As for not even giving the courtiers face."
It's useless. Teng Yuyi cleaned her hands, turned around and wrote in Du Tinglan's hand: Sister, when Lin Chengyou was fourteen years old, he dared to pull Wu Shizhong's beard. If he deliberately wanted to make things difficult for me, he might not take my grandpa seriously.
.
Du Tinglan was astonished, who was Wu Shizhong? He was a veteran of three dynasties and had many disciples. The examination for my grandfather to become a Jinshi was conducted by Wu Shizhong. My grandfather was considered to be Wu Shizhong’s disciple. No wonder he got angry when he mentioned Lin Chengyou.
As soon as it comes out.
"Then we should let my uncle know that this poison was caused by Lin Chengyou. We can't let him bully me in vain."
Teng Yuyi: This matter arose because I deceived the Itchy Insect of Qingyun Temple. If my father knew that Lin Chengyou poisoned me to mute for no reason, he would definitely go to Lin Chengyou to settle the score. What if the trouble comes to the imperial court and Lin Chengyou reveals that I plotted against Duan Ningyuan?
Du Tinglan hesitated and said: "He promised to keep secret yesterday, so he won't go back on his promise."
Teng Yu did not answer.
Du Tinglan's expression changed slightly, and he nodded and said: "I understand what you are worried about. Even if Lin Chengyou keeps his promise, the saint is his uncle after all. Knowing that his nephew bullies the daughter of a court official, he will definitely punish Lin Chengyou heavily in order to uphold justice. Are you afraid of Lin Chengyou?
You are submissive on the face, but you can't swallow it in your heart. It's a big deal if you suffer a small loss yourself, but it's a big deal if your uncle and Lin Chengyou have a feud?"
Teng Yuyi nodded: That’s right.
Du Tinglan was speechless. The saint and the queen had always loved Lin Chengyou. Lin Chengyou often walked around in front of the emperor. If he deliberately caused trouble for his uncle, he would also have a headache.
"You only said that your voice was hoarse last night, but you refused to tell Uncle Cheng the truth about the poisoning. Is it because you were afraid that your uncle would find Lin Chengyou after he found out?"
Teng Yuyi nodded: If he is willing to detoxify, he will be cured last night. Now, I can only find out the antidote by myself. When I meet my grandfather later, my sister will help me tell him the whole story. I only need to hide the poisoning.
Don't make grandpa suspicious.
Du Tinglan touched Teng Yuyi's head, her eyes softer than the spring day outside: "Don't worry, sister knows what to say. Our sisters haven't said so many words for a long time. Today, sister feels very happy. If the corpse can be removed smoothly,
Hey, why don’t you go to the Jade Virgin Temple for an outing someday?”
Teng Yuyi was startled, realizing that her sister had not been able to see the spring of the coming year because of her tragic death in her previous life. When these words came out of her mouth, she felt inexplicably sad. Just as she was about to reply, Biluo opened the curtain and came in and said: "Miss, the master sent someone
I asked you if you were up."
"Where is uncle?"
"Entertain the little Taoist priest in the central hall."
The two of them went to the central hall. When they entered, they saw Teng Shao sitting at the top. He took off his military uniform and wore only a dark ocher round-neck blouse. He always looked elegant, but he was much older.
By the age of forty, a lot of gray hair has appeared on the temples, and because of frequent frowning, deep lines have formed between the eyebrows.
Juesheng and Qizhi talked about the corpse evil, but Teng Shao was still a little hesitant: "The corpse evil mentioned by the two Taoist priests is a person who died a hundred years ago?"
Juesheng and Qizhi probably stayed up all night, and looked a little tired. They tried not to yawn: "Now I have only roughly guessed its origin. What is the details? Senior brother is still investigating."
Before they finished speaking, they caught a glimpse of Teng Yuyi and Du Tinglan coming in. Juesheng and Qizhi secretly compared themselves in their hearts. They were worthy of being father and daughter. Not only did Madam Teng and General Teng have similar looks, they also had almost the same quiet and indifferent demeanor when looking at people.
It's just that Mrs. Teng is cunning and lively, but General Teng is as steady as a mountain.
Du Tinglan pulled Teng Yuyi forward to salute, but suddenly felt that he couldn't pull her. When he turned around in surprise, he found that Teng Yuyi's face was pale.
"Ayu?"
Teng Yuyi's palms were sweating. She had not been able to see her grandpa for the last time in her last life. When she rushed there, he had already died. Due to too much blood loss, his sapphire blue robe was dyed dark ocher, and he looked so cold just now.
Look, I mistakenly thought that the robe my grandpa was wearing today was the blood-stained robe.
Teng Shao looked at Teng Yuyi quietly and said in a deep voice: "Yu'er."
Teng Yuyi calmed down and calmly stepped forward to salute.
Du Tinglan smiled: "Uncle, long blessings."
Teng Shao said warmly: "I went to visit Du Mansion in the morning. Your parents said that your sisters went back to Teng Mansion together last night. The sisters haven't seen each other for a long time. Now that they are here, you might as well stay a little longer. Ayu has a arrogant temper, so it is just right for her.
Learn more rules from my sister like you."
Du Tinglan said a few words of modesty, and Teng Yuyi calmly pulled Du Tinglan to sit on the other side.
Teng Shao looked at Teng Yuyi: "Cheng An said you went to attend a poetry meeting yesterday and your throat collapsed when you came back?"
Juesheng and Qizhi were in a state of confusion. Mrs. Teng hated her senior brother deeply and would definitely tell General Teng about his teasing her. Unexpectedly, Du Tinglan said: "My sister said that she drank a few too many canes of sugarcane syrup yesterday because she was greedy for cold weather. Poetry Club
At that time, there was a cold wind blowing in the waterside pavilion, and I was frightened at the back, so it suddenly happened. I thought that my sister had been tired from traveling a while ago, and it was unknown whether the wind evil would invade her body. Fortunately, she did not suffer from anorexia due to body heat.
, just take some evacuation prescriptions."
Teng Shao showed no emotion and anger, and just looked at his daughter silently. Du Tinglan was not used to lying, so she was inevitably uneasy in her belly.
Teng Yuyi had already made up her mind. Grandpa would definitely investigate carefully. Even if something was found, after all, he was the only one present when Lin Chengyou plotted against her. Anyway, she just didn't admit it.
Teng Shao took a long time before speaking: "I remember that whenever you caught a cold when you were a child, your throat would always be swollen and painful, and it was common for you to be unable to speak for several days. This time you accidentally fell into the water on your way to Chang'an. Although you were fine, what happened to you?
