Chapter 66
Chapter 64 Be careful
Lu Ying cared about his father’s health and asked hurriedly, “How do you feel now? Are there any discomforts?”
Lu Bing said: “Fortunately, it just feels a little hot. Don’t worry, those Taoist priests didn’t dare to put strong medicine into the pill. The emperor has been taking it for more than 30 years. Isn’t it good? I take a few pills occasionally, it doesn’t matter. ”
The pill is roughly the formula of Wu Shi San during the Wei and Jin Dynasties. After eating, the spirit is excited and the body becomes hot. You must wear loose clothes, and you must spread your hair buns and hair. Even in winter, you will bare your feet and sweat on your head. , Do not feel cold.
As soon as he heard of the heat, Lu Ying ordered people to send more ice cubes to relieve the heat. “Father should pay attention to it. He will give medicine in the future. Don’t eat it on the spot. He said that he would take it home for the ancestors, and then quietly throw it away when he arrives at home. .”
Lu Bing opened his eyes: “You are the crime of deceiving the emperor!”
Lu Ying said: “Then don’t throw it, I’ll eat. I also want to feel the mighty grace of the emperor.” She has been “poisoned” by Wang Daxia recently, and will flexibly contradict her elders.
Lu Bing irritably took off the bamboo crown bestowed on his head, loosened his hair, and then relaxed his tight hair. “Don’t talk nonsense, who’s a girl eats pill.”
Lu Ying persuaded his father, “You can’t hold your body now. Although the emperor took the pill for more than 30 years and nothing happened, most of the princes and princesses in the palace died. They had eight sons and five daughters, and they had only two sons and two daughters. Wang Yu finally got two sons and two daughters, and both died. Now there is no emperor’s grandson. Isn’t it because the emperor took the pill?”
The terrible death rate of the Jiajing royal family was the highest in the history of royal families. Women who were married to the royal family had many children, but very few survived. In fact, everyone knew the reason, but no one dared to break it.
“Bold!” Lu Bing took the pill. He was irritable and impulsive. He listened to Lu Ying repeatedly and was dissatisfied with the emperor. Lu Bing was impetuous, “You are too courageous, dare to talk about the emperor? A rancher, like you, how can I use you with confidence? In the future, I am afraid that it will harm the family. If you make false statements, you might as well go home and embroider in your boudoir.”
The pill not only hurts the body, but also hurts the brain. After taking the medicine, Emperor Jiajing became manic and cold-blooded. He often abused palace members to death. A palace lady named Yang Hongying was unbearable and tried to strangle the sleeping Emperor Jiajing at night.
Lu Ying’s face turned pale. She has been busy with the case recently. Helping her father with official duties is not something she likes to do. She has to do it to take care of her father’s body. Now her father is angry and her temper is not good. The person no longer bears patience and pushes the door away.
Lu Ying was walking on the street with his horse. It happened that the Yamen was closed. Ding Wu and Wang Daxia returned to Beicheng together. Ding Wu got a new job as a warehouse clerk in Jinyiwei. The family lived far away, and it was also recommended by Lu Ying. Yamen He was equipped with a horse for easy entry and exit.
Ding Wu saw Lu Ying and quickly patted him to say hello, “Lord Lu.”
Wang Daxia even hid behind the banner of the roadside shop with a horse: Is this person ill? I finally got off the yamen, it was when I was going home, I met such a diligent Shangguan, so I hurried to hide!
People didn’t see you, so you rushed to say hello. Isn’t it okay to find trouble, forcing Shangguan to drag you to work overtime?
In essence, Wang Daxia is still a lazy dude, so he only needs to tell his boss to finish the business, and he doesn’t want to use the remaining strength.
Lu Ying looked back and saw Ding Wu, and of course he also saw Wang Daxia after trying to hide himself in a street shop.
It was hidden well, that is, Wang Daxia’s horse **** was outside. The weather was boring, and there were many flies and mosquitoes. The horse’s tail flicked and flicked to drive away mosquitoes and flies.
It’s really ignorant of the head.
Lu Ying nodded to Ding Wu, and then shouted: “Wang Daxia, you come out, today I’m going to Beicheng to drop in with you.”
Wang Daxia immediately came out with a smile and patted the horse, “I just saw something delicious in the water sign hanging in a restaurant, so I didn’t see Lu commander, forgive me. Lu commander, we are in the countryside of Beicheng, where there are Nancheng and Zhongzhong. The city is prosperous, it’s nothing to watch.”
Lu Ying said, “I’m not going to play, but to do errands.”
Not even more so! I don’t want to be dragged by you to work overtime! I have to talk to Doctor Wei in the evening!
Wang Daxia was about to speak, and Ding Wu warmly invited him, “It just happened to be on the way, let’s go together, you must have dinner for the general manager of Lu. I have no time to buy groceries and cook today, so I will invite the general manager of Lu to eat at the restaurant. Thank you, chief Lu for arranging an errand for me. .”
Lu Ying went to Beicheng to do errands, so he could just grab a bite for dinner, and didn’t want to entertain Ding Wu.
She was about to refuse. When Wang Daxia saw Ding Wu hosting a banquet to entertain Lu Ying, she thanked him for giving him a job as a warehouseman, and quickly picked herself out and said, “Since you are going to treat, I am embarrassed to go. I will go to the restaurant to buy something to eat tonight and take it back to Dr. Wei.”
Ding Wu had an errand and no one was cooking. Wei Caiwei had excellent medical skills and was totally incapable of cooking. In the past, when Ding Wu was away, she ate almost every meal at a street stall outside.
You eat you, we eat ours. Since Ding Wu came, I have not eaten alone with Wei Caiwei.
Lu Ying was about to say that he would not go, Ding Wu said again: “There is a restaurant near Jishuitan that makes very delicious lakes. I use the products from Jishuitan Lake. The fresh ones are very fresh. I have eaten with Banxia. Banxia said his house The sweet and sour fish made is better than mine. She likes it very much. I called her together.”
In fact, Ding Wu felt that Lu Ying was a daughter, and she was afraid that she would not want to eat alone with a foreigner, but it was different to call her sister Banxia. For two women, Lu Ying should not refuse his invitation.
Lu Ying wanted to refuse, but when he heard that the restaurant was near Jishuitan, it was related to what she was going to do, so he went along with the water and agreed to Ding Wu’s invitation, “Okay, I’ll go.”
Wang Daxia saw that Wei Caiwei was about to have dinner with the two men. After this time of getting along, he also felt that Ding Wu and Caiwei were completely brother-sister, and there was no affair between men and women. Ding Wu was just relieved, and now there is another Lu Ying, Wang Daxia’s heart The long-lost vinegar surged and said:
“You are talking about the lakeside restaurant, right? I’ve been to it many times. Hubaxian is his signature dish. I want to eat it too. Brother Ding doesn’t mind having an extra pair of chopsticks, right?”
Ding Wu thought to himself: I mind.
But he is a gentleman of Qianqian, unable to speak.
Wang Daxia said: “That’s it. We will be divided into two ways. You two will go to the lakeside restaurant and order good food. I will go to Tianshui Lane to pick up Dr. Wei. When we go, it is estimated that the food will be served.”
The three parted ways.
The Lakeside Restaurant is at the northwest corner of Jishuitan, just at the end of Toutiao Hutong, near the lake.
Ding Wu and Lu Ying passed by Toutiao Hutong. Lu Ying saw that the first shop in Toutiao Hutong was a shop that bought and sold groceries from north to south and all kinds of foreign goods. Customers came and went, and business looked good.
The shop’s plaque reads “Millions of Commodities”. The shop is very large, occupies three shops, and there is a warehouse in the back. Merchants from all over the world come here to deliver goods. Some Koreans send ginseng, some Japanese people send gold fans from the country of Japan, and some people dressed up from the northern Mongolia bring furs and other things. .
It really has everything, there are as many as 10,000 kinds of goods.
Seeing that Lu Ying’s mount slowed down, Ding Wu also pulled up the reins.
“I’m going to buy something.” Lu Ying dismounted, and the man at the door greeted him enthusiastically, “What would you like to see?”
Lu Ying said, “Don’t use rattles or the like for the children’s stuff, but something new.”
In the end, Lu Ying chose a Russian wooden matryoshka, a set of nine puppet dolls.
Now both of her sisters are pregnant. This is sold to a future nephew. The second sister who married Yan Shifan’s son will give birth in autumn.
Lu Ying took the wrapped doll and went out of Wanhuo, and saw that the shop next to Wanhuo had closed down. A piece of red paper was pasted at the door that said “Wangpu Rental”.
There are only a dozen households in Toutiao Hutong. Except for the first Wanhuo store that is close to Xinkaidao Street, the main road, where business is booming, the rest are average. Since the Wanhuo store can sell everything, customers won’t go on shopping anymore. The storefronts are either closed or sub-leased, or they are inns, tea houses and restaurants, and Wanhuo is doing a completely different business.
Lu Ying silently remembered the situation of Toutiao Hutong. At the end of Toutiao Hutong is the Jishuitan, and the lakeside restaurant is next to the lake.
Lu Ying asked for a special private room—the restaurant has a few small painted boats in the Jishuitan, which can be used to punt the boat to eat in the lake, but he has to pay extra for renting a boat.
Ding Wu treated the guests, of course, at the request of the guests. After Hu Baxian went to the Huafang’s wine table in turn, Wang Daxia brought Wei Caiwei to the Huafang, and Lu Ying asked, “Which one of you can punt?”
Wang Daxia was here to eat and drink. Ding Wu didn’t say anything to invite him. With a guilty conscience, he raised his hand and said, “I will.”
As long as he is not studying, Wang Daxia basically knows a little bit. He ranked first in dragon boat rowing during the Dragon Boat Festival.
Lu Ying said, “You come to punt the boat and ask the boatman to go down.”
Lu Ying was born in a tall class, but he was exquisite, and he didn’t like the presence of outsiders during the meal. Wang Daxia held the boat to the center of the lake, and the breeze in the lake was very refreshing.
Seeing that everyone has eaten almost, only Wang Daxia still gnaws on the tail of the sweet and sour fish. Lu Ying said, “Doctor Wei went to Toutiao Hutong and opened a drug store. You will rent the store next door to Wanhuo Trading Co., Ltd. tomorrow. To pay, you only need to show up.”
This-Ding Wu and Wang Daxia were puzzled, only Wei Caiwei guessed what Lu Ying wanted to do. She wrote the anonymous letters stating that the World Commercial Bank was a white lotus lair and that there was a fire/pharmaceutical storehouse under the warehouse.
It is only five months since the Toutiao Hutong tragedy in the last life, and she wants to prevent the tragedy from happening.
In this life, Chen Qianhu was killed by her with a poisonous needle, and Wang Qianhu, commander of the Beicheng Soldier Masi, was about to be dismissed by the Jingcha. She didn’t know who the new commander was, and she couldn’t believe it.
Therefore, the only thing Wei Caiwei can believe is Lu Ying. Through Lu Ying’s investigation of the death of Chen Qianhu and his son, as well as the search and rescue of Ding Wu, Lu Ying is careful and serious, and cherishes life, and has a compassionate heart. She also has Lu Bing as a backer, so she can use Jinyiwei’s money, material, and manpower at will.
Wei Caiwei believed that Lu Ying was able to solve the hidden danger of Toutiao Hutong while avoiding the casualties of innocent people, so she wrote several anonymous letters to her and finally attracted Lu Ying’s attention.
Wei Caiwei’s heart is like a mirror, but she pretends to be surprised, “It costs money to open a drugstore, and it’s too tired. I can’t take care of it, and I am still a doctor who only sees a doctor, not medicine, and is more relaxed.”
“It’s not for you to really open, it’s just a pretense.” There are lakes all around, and there is no need to worry about leaks. Lu Ying said bluntly: “I have received several anonymous letters recently saying that the IWC in Toutiao Hutong is a white lotus lair, and the warehouse is still underground. There is a fire/pharmaceutical storehouse. The white lotus religion is evil, treason and shameless, leading the Mongolian army to go south. Ten years ago, in the Gengwu Rebellion, millions of people on the outskirts of the capital suffered heavy casualties. So I would rather believe that there was something than nothing. What if it’s true?”
“I’m afraid of smashing the grass. If there is a fire/pharmaceutical storehouse, I am afraid that the pond fish will be harmed, so I want Dr. Wei to open the medicine store next door. Firstly, it is convenient to follow. See if it is true.”
The author has something to say: The female partners in all my essays are generally career brains like Lu Ying, and they achieve each other with the heroine. So Parrot CP is destined to have more troubles, Lu Miou hasn’t paid attention to Ding Liye’s caution.
