The Legend of Rebirth of the Demon Empress

Chapter 35 Luncheon
Yang Xingyao is conceited of his intelligence, if he heard a teenage girl preaching to him like this on weekdays, he would definitely sneer at it.

However, at this moment, these few words were nothing less than enlightenment. He stayed for a while, and there was a tinge of blood on his face. He raised his hand and wiped his forehead vigorously, and said in a shy voice: "What the girl taught is that I have been taught. .”

Immediately afterwards, he put his hand on the small table beside him, looked at Lin Zisu with hopeful eyes, and said, "May I ask you to give me a diagnosis and treatment."

This sound was full of energy, as if Yang Xingyao had used up all the strength in his body. Lin Zisu saw that his eyes suddenly became firm, so she stopped talking and concentrated her mind to diagnose his pulse.

After taking the pulse and asked about some daily symptoms in detail, Lin Zisu found out that Yang Xingyao was not only born with weak lungs, but also suffered from overthinking and weak spleen. The spleen is the mother of the lungs. It is even more difficult to treat.

Lin Zisu pondered for half an hour, and said with a serious face: "My lord, my medical skills are shallow, and I can only barely sustain you for a while. If you want to recover, I really can't do anything."

Disappointment flashed across Yang Xingyao's face, and then a calm smile appeared, and he said, "Young lady, it's not easy to survive, and Yang doesn't dare to ask for too much."

Lin Zisu also noticed Yang Xingyao's disappointment. She didn't say much, just took her needle bag and opened it, and said, "I'll nourish your lungs and Qi first."

It took nearly half an hour for the acupuncture and moxibustion. Acupuncture is exhausting, and because the doors and windows are closed, Lin Zisu is tired and hot, and she is already sweating profusely.

Yang Xingyao kept his eyes closed all the time. After acupuncture, he felt unprecedentedly comfortable all over his body. He couldn't help but let out a long breath, but when he opened his eyes, he saw Lin Zisu's face was flushed and she was embarrassed. She said, "Thank you, miss, these few days After the needle went down, I even breathed much more smoothly."

Lin Zisu felt that she had lost the strength to speak at the moment, and wanted to take a rest, but seeing the shadow of the sun getting shorter in front of the window, it seemed that it was almost noon.

She was afraid that someone from Princess Nankang would notice her. The rumors of the last time had caused panic in the family, but she didn't dare to spread any more rumors.

So he tried his best to go to the desk, picked up the pen that the maid had prepared, and handed Yang Xingyao a hastily written prescription, saying: "Take the medicine according to this prescription, drink it for half a month first, and then make adjustments depending on the condition. Also, acupuncture must be done every seven days, will you still be here next time?"

Yang Xingyao was noncommittal, helped the maid to stand up reluctantly, picked up a few books that had been placed in the corner of the desk, and said: "Swords are given to heroes, and red powder is given to beauties. Here are two books, which are the practice notes of Teng Guangping, a famous doctor in this dynasty. Let the girl take care of it." Saying that, she let go of the maid's hand, holding the book in both hands and handing it to Lin Zisu.

This posture was extremely respectful, which made Lin Zisu feel embarrassed. She had to move half a step to the left, took the book from Yang Xingyao's side, and simply flipped through two pages. Excitement flashed in her eyes, and the exhaustion just now was swept away. And empty.

Yang Xingyao winked at the maid, who took a red sandalwood box from the bookshelf and held it in front of Lin Zisu, Yang Xingyao said: "This is the prepaid consultation fee, please accept it."

Lin Zisu put away the book, took the box and opened it, and saw a thick stack of papers inside. When she opened it, she found that there were more than 20 pieces of house deeds and land deeds.

I just heard Yang Xingyao say: "Girl, don't worry, these are all properties that my ancestors bought in the capital, behind them are all innocent, and now they are idle there, it's better to hand them over to the girl."

Lin Zisu took a cursory look just now. Those house deeds and land deeds are all located in the bustling area of ​​central Beijing. Although I can't estimate the value, I know that it is a huge fortune.

In this life, I have neither family background nor background. It is not a good thing to have such a large amount of wealth, but it is only my name written on those papers.

Lin Zisu's heart trembled, and she subconsciously put the box on the small table, still smiling, and said, "My son's kindness, I thank you in advance. I have to go to the poetry meeting later, It’s inconvenient to carry such a big box, so it’s better to put it here with you first.”

"What the girl said is that I didn't think carefully"

Yang Xingyao understood immediately, and said, "In this case, I'll help you find a place to store it first. Anyway, it's already passed Minglu, and it's all yours."

The corner of Lin Zisu's mouth twitched, and she didn't want to say anything more. She picked up the medical book and said goodbye to Yang Xingyao. Yang Xingyao said again: "Miss is willing to treat me. I am very grateful. I will wait for you here in seven days."

"You don't have to thank me, I just took you a step out of the gate of hell, if you want to thank you, thank yourself."

Lin Zisu ignored Yang Xingyao and went downstairs to open the door.

The maid who brought Lin Zisu had been guarding under the shade of the willows, and when she saw her leave Zhiqiu Hall, the maid went up to meet her and said, "I just heard from the front yard that the luncheon over there is about to start. past?"

Lin Zisu nodded, and followed the maid back to the front yard.The luncheon was held on a two-story pavilion in the center of the garden. As soon as Lin Zisu walked over, she saw Liang Wanyi waving at her upstairs.

After going upstairs, Liang Wanyi grabbed her arm, pulled her to the banquet without any explanation, and said, "Sister Zisu, just now you said that you are not mean enough, and you even ignored the poetry meeting for the sake of a few medical books. But You came just in time, we are following the wine order."

The seat Liang Wanyi reserved for Lin Zisu was next to the window, and she could see the beautiful scenery of the garden when she turned her head. It was the best seat during the banquet.

The girl on Lin Zisu's left was surnamed Feng. She had been pestering Liang Wanyi all the time, but when she heard that Liang Wanyi wanted to reserve a place for her friend, she readily agreed. Unexpectedly, the owner of this place was Lin Zisu.

After Lin Zisu sat down, Miss Feng leaned a little to the left, a body away from Lin Zisu, and said in a low voice: "It's really bad luck."

Lin Zisu pretended not to hear, and listened nonchalantly to Liang Wanyi's recounting of the anecdotes at the poetry meeting just now. Seeing the awkward atmosphere at the meeting, a girl in purple on the opposite side said with a smile, "Miss Lin, we were doing the flying flower order just now, you Want to play together?"

Seeing that the girl in purple clothes looked familiar, she thought about it for a while, and remembered that this girl was Luo Yue, the third lady of Luo Shangshu's residence in the Ministry of Industry. She once showed her talent at the Hundred Flowers Banquet, and she had a chance encounter with her, so she clicked immediately. nod.

Luo Yue said again: "Sister Yi, I just arrived at your place, and you haven't finished your wine yet."

Liang Wanyi didn't receive the drinking order just now in order to meet Lin Zisu, but she didn't say much, she picked up the wine in front of her and drank it down, then said proudly: "Wait a minute, I will give you a big problem !"

All the girls were waiting for Liang Wanyi to come up with a problem, Liang Wanyi parted her red lips, and chanted loudly: "The monk knocked on the door under the moon", and all the girls immediately wailed.

Since ancient times, not many poets have written poems with the word "monk".

Sitting opposite Lin Zisu, Luo Yue was the seventh one below Liang Wanyi, and thought to herself that the word "monk" couldn't be figured out.

Luo Yue and Liang Wanyi have a good relationship, and she pretended to be angry and said: "Sister Yi, you are not so vengeful, I persuaded you to drink a glass of wine just now, you are going to make up for it, it seems that I must drink this glass of wine. "

Even though she said so, she still looked at Lin Zisu expectantly, only to hear Lin Zisu say: "The mountain monk grows old alone in the mountains", Luo Yue praised her, and looked at Miss Feng.

Miss Feng's father is only a seventh-rank Beijing official, so of course he has never been to the Hundred Flowers Banquet. He only heard about Lin Zisu's fierce reputation. I thought Lin Zisu was clueless, but I didn't expect Lin Zisu to pass the test so easily. .

She only put her mind on Lin Zisu, without making any preparations, she got stuck when she came to her, and gave Lin Zisu an angry look.

When all the girls were counting in unison, Ms. Feng suddenly had an idea and remembered another poem by Jia Dao, saying: "There will be a tea monk in the future."

Immediately afterwards, two more sentences continued, and it was the turn of Miss Zhang Liu next to Luo Yue.Miss Zhang Liu's name is Zhang Yutong, and she is the daughter of Zhang Ruogu's family, the left servant of the Ministry of Officials.

Zhang's family was originally a well-known family in the south of the Yangtze River. Luo Yue thought of Zhang Yutong's talent and name in Beijing, and sighed: "It seems that this glass of wine is for sure."

She picked up the wine glass in front of her, and waited for Zhang Yutong to accept the wine order before she drank it all in one gulp.

Zhang Yutong thought for a while, shook his head lightly, and said: "I really can't think of this sentence." As he spoke, he took a sip from his wine glass and put it down.

Luo Yue felt relieved, put down the wine glass, stuck out her tongue, and said with a smile, "Thank God, I was able to escape this disaster."

Then another girl joked: "Yueyue, what a world of thanks, you should thank sister Zhang by your side most."

Luo Yue nodded hurriedly and said, "You're right. Come on, come on, sister Zhang, thank you for your kindness. I'll toast you."

Luo Yue and Zhang Yutong clinked a glass, and before they could swallow a big gulp of wine, they urged: "Sister Zhang, it's your turn to ask the question."

Zhang Yutong still had a calm smile on his face, and said: "Sisters have used all the interesting words. I really don't have any better ones here. Just now I saw the garden was colorful, so let's use 'flowers' to solve the problem, um, flower diameter I have never been scanned by customers."

Since ancient times, wind, flowers, snow and moon have been the constant theme of literati and poets. There are more than tens of thousands of poems with flowers in their titles. Even a three-year-old Mongolian boy can recite a few poems with "flowers".

This time, the wine order was turned around twice, but it was still going on. Luo Yue suddenly felt bored, and shouted: "You are all famously talented women, and I am the only one in the audience. If I go to the end, I will definitely be punished again. Me, let me drink this glass of wine."

A dozen or so girls of similar ages and common hobbies played together for more than an hour before leaving.

During this time, Nankang also came to make fun of her. She didn't have much knowledge in her belly, and at a critical juncture, she had to bring out a few lines of a new poem written by Qi's son-in-law Qi Yuan.

Qi Yuan is a well-known talent in Dayan, and has always been known as the "Pearl and Jade Prince". After listening to Qi Yuan's poems, the girls couldn't care less about being reserved, and cheered in unison.

Luo Yue drank a lot of wine, and when he heard Qi Yuan's name, his eyes lit up immediately, he stood up and walked behind Nankang, put his arms around Nankang's neck and whispered: "Sister Nankang, we have always admired brother-in-law Well, it’s rare for you to come to your house, so you can introduce it to everyone.”

Nankang cast a sideways glance at Luo Yue, and said angrily, "It's fine to see him, but what benefits can you promise me?"

Luo Yue said: "You are the majestic princess, do you want anything? Do you still need me to ask for it?"

Nankang whispered a few words in Luo Yue's ear with a sly face, and Luo Yue lightly thumped Nankang's back, saying: "I know, I know, you have been thinking about my eldest sister's things all the time, so I can't help you." Easy loot to win back!"

With a bright smile on Nankang's face, he said, "You little girl doesn't know how to engrave seals, so those square seal stones are put here for you, isn't it a hidden gem?"

Luo Yue pursed her mouth and said, "What don't I understand? Well, even if I don't understand now, won't I understand after asking my grandfather?"

Seeing Luo Yue and Nankang's intimate behavior, Zhang Yutong felt something was wrong, and couldn't help coughing lightly, and said, "Sister Yue, there are differences between monarchs and ministers, we can't overstep."

Obviously, Luo Yue had never thought about this question, she was taken aback for a moment, and said, "Sister Nankang is a very nice person, so I don't care about these things."

Luo Ying, the eldest daughter of the Luo family, was Nankang's accompanying student in the palace. The two grew up together and had a close relationship. Therefore, Nankang always regarded Luo Ying's two younger sisters as his own younger sisters, and never thought about it. What is the difference between monarch and minister?

Unexpectedly, Zhang Yutong brought it up in public, and Nankang didn't care. He smiled and said, "It's rare for everyone to come to my place as guests. Today we are all sisters, no matter who you are. Besides, I have been friends with the eldest daughter of the Luo family since I was young. Treat Xiao Yueyue as her own younger sister."

As she spoke, she gently twisted Luo Yue's face, and said with a narrow smile: "Xiao Yueyue, is what sister said right?"

Zhang Yutong bit her lip and said nothing more.Luo Yue has always regarded himself as an adult, and he doesn't like others to treat him like a child, so he said with a serious face: "If you screw my face again, our sisterhood will end here."

Nankang suppressed the laughter in his heart and said: "Okay, I won't quarrel with you. Your brother-in-law is drinking with King Dun and Prince Lu in the Yixiang Garden. Since you want to see him, I will take you there." That's right."

Luo Yue jumped up and cheered, regardless of her appearance, she was the first to run down the stairs.

The design of the ten palaces is very wonderful, every eight houses are a square, according to the layout of the nine palaces, the empty middle palace area is surrounded by a word "mouth".In the center of the word "口", there is a large garden, and each house in the square has a small door leading to the garden.

It was not the first time for Luo Yue to come to Nankang, and he was very familiar with the paths in the house, so he trotted all the way to Yixiang Garden.

Arriving at Yixiang Garden, Luo Yue heard a few male voices talking and laughing on the rockery not far away. He was overjoyed, and followed the sound to a flower stand on the half slope of the rockery, but couldn't help but froze in place. .

The three men under the flower trellis were all barefoot and seated on the floor. Luo Yue carefully identified that the one sitting on the Tian character seat was Qi Yuan, the one sitting on the Land character seat was Dun Wang Xie Xi, and the young man on the Herringbone seat was His face is tight, and he presumably is the son of Prince Lu.

I saw Qi Yuan was pulling his sleeve with one hand, and punching Lu Wang Shizi with the other hand, the two were in high spirits, "Si Xi, Wu Kui, Liu Shun" and other numbers were shouted continuously following the gestures of the two of them come out.

The two made gestures for eight or nine rounds, Qi Yuan smiled and took away his right hand, Xie Xi pointed at Lu Wangshizi, and said with a gloating smile: "Xie Zan, I can see clearly this time, you can't just let it go." Come on!"

Prince Lu's son Xie Bi had a bitter face, waved his hands and said, "Fourth brother, it's really too bad, I can't drink any more."

Qi Yuan joked at the side: "Xie Zan, what you said is wrong, a man, you can't say no."

Before Luo Yue understood the meaning of Qi Yuan's words, Xie Xi took over the conversation, smiled lowly and said to Xie Zan: "That's right, if you return to Luzhou and let your younger siblings hear that you are 'no', who knows what will happen?" God kicked you under the bed."
