Chapter 106 Do not cry without seeing the coffin

Now that he has recovered his martial arts, Xie Zhaozhao got up at nine o'clock in the morning, washed his hands and stretched his muscles. After about four o'clock, he went to Mr. Miao's courtyard.

Mr. Miao has been here and there lately.

When he was there, he gave some advice on Xie Zhaozhao Medicine.

While he was away, Xie Zhaozhao distinguished the herbs by himself and looked through Mr. Miao's medical notes.

If there is nothing else to do in the afternoon, Xie Zhaozhao will practice calligraphy and see Yu, and rarely go out unless necessary.

She has been in this state recently.

When Xie Zhaozhao arrived at Mr. Miao's hospital this morning, the old man happened to be there. He taught Xie Zhaozhao for a while in a good-tempered manner, and did not forget to ask Xie Zhaozhao to help him cut the medicinal materials to be processed.

Xianggui couldn't help but said: "You just took the opportunity to direct the lady to work."

"You little girl, you can't say that." Mr. Miao put one hand on his hips and waved a big cattail leaf fan with the other, "Chopping medicinal materials also pays attention to technique."

"For example, how much force should be used to cut cleanly without cutting out residue, what length to cut, when decoction the medicine will have the best effect, the shape and smell of the medicine can also be observed and memorized when cutting the medicine. .”

"There's also weight, little girl. Do you know that an old doctor with excellent medical skills never uses a scale when preparing medicine. His hand is a steel scale. What he grabs casually is more accurate than a scale? There is a lot of knowledge here."

"Asking your lady to do something means asking her to learn more, do you understand?"

"Sir, there is some truth to what you said." Xianggui said sarcastically, "This slave is ignorant."

Mr. Miao laughed twice, said "seriously" to Xie Zhaozhao, and then went into the house waving his fan.

Xie Zhaozhao knew that although Mr. Miao was usually just like an old naughty boy, he was really capable in the field of medical skills, and what he said made sense. Therefore, even though she was a little boy cutting medicinal materials, she did it very seriously.

It took more than an hour to cut the medicinal materials neatly.

It was just after noon, and Xianggui had people prepare meals and send them to Wangyue Tower.

Xie Zhaozhao went back to have lunch and was about to take a nap when Hongxia came to report: "Miss, the mother of Guose Tianxiang Tower met Chen Yu late last night."

"Chen Yu went out of his way today and said goodbye to the sisters in the building. He also sent someone to send a letter to the Su family, saying that he wanted to see Third Uncle to say goodbye for the last time."

"When are we scheduled to meet?" Xie Zhaozhao asked.

"The night of the eighth day of September."

"That's tomorrow night."

Xie Zhaozhao played with the fan in his hand carelessly, "My face has already been torn, and I have to say goodbye before leaving. Isn't it unnecessary?"

Hongxia hesitated and said: "Maybe she regretted it, felt that she shouldn't have poisoned the third lady, and wanted to beg for forgiveness——"

"Most people won't shed tears until they see the coffin." Xie Zhaozhao sneered, "If people could regret easily, there wouldn't be so many vicious people in the world."

"Hongxia, you have been with me for many years and have never seen anything. You shouldn't be so naive."

Hongxia was silent for a moment, "My subordinates just feel that Chen Yu is a female prostitute after all and has no background in the capital. It is normal for her to be afraid of Liang Guo Duke's mansion and regret it."

After a pause, Hongxia added: "Maybe she can't forget her old relationship with her uncle, so she made an appointment to try to save something."

"That's possible." Xie Zhaozhao smiled, "Then let's see what she wants to do tomorrow night. You can arrange it."

"Yes!"

……

The next day, Xie Zhaozhao practiced martial arts and medicine as usual, and spent the whole afternoon with Mr. Miao.

In the evening, Hongxia came to report that everything had been arranged, and then she changed into light clothes and went out.

"Chen Yu made an appointment with Third Young Master to meet on the river." Hongxia and Xianggui helped Xie Zhaozhao get on the boat, and said at the same time: "It's parked on a painting boat near Qingfeng Tower."

"This slave gave the boatman money and booked a room. He will get on the boat early and wait for them to arrive."

"Ah."

Xie Zhaozhao nodded, "If you do a good job, you will get a reward when you go back." Hongxia said quickly: "Isn't it right to help the lady run errands? I don't dare to ask for a reward, let's go over there now."

Xie Zhaozhao smiled and said no more.

The boat slowly rocked along the cracks in the lotus leaves for half a quarter of an hour before arriving at the painting boat. Xie Zhaozhao and the maid entered the room they had reserved.

This painting boat is huge, with upper, middle and lower floors. It serves drinks, cakes and meals. It is a painting boat belonging to Qingfeng Building and is essentially an alternative restaurant.

The weather is not too cold now, so one evening, some dignitaries and literati would come here to enjoy fine wine and food, talk about poetry and lyrics, and watch the scenery on the shore.

It's not that interesting.

The window in Hongxiading's room was small and half-open, with a layer of light pink gauze hanging down.

People inside the room can see what's going on outside, but people outside want to look inside, but they can't see anything.

"Miss, look."

Hongxia took away a painting on the wall, revealing a small hole behind it.

Xie Zhaozhao stopped in front of the cave entrance, just in time to see the round table covered with tablecloth in the next room.

Xie Zhaozhao raised his eyebrows: "You are too well prepared. When did you become so capable?"

"This..." Hongxia smiled sheepishly: "Actually, this was not prepared by my subordinates."

"Oh?"

Xie Zhaozhao was curious: "Who prepared that?"

Suddenly a person appeared in her heart, wondering if he could help?

"It was the help of General Xuanming beside His Highness." After Hongxia finished speaking, Xie Zhaozhao moved her eyebrows slightly and explained: "Sister Hongxiu and I kept our mouths shut about Chen Yu, and no one said anything."

"I don't know how the other side knew about it, and then they took the initiative to find me——"

"I see."

Xie Zhaozhao nodded and said, "I understand."

Presumably Yun Qi knew that he was staring at Chen Yu, so he came to help.

I really didn’t expect that he would have time to pay attention to such a trivial matter of his own when he was usually busy with everything going on in the court.

Xianggui said with a smile: "Your Highness is too attentive to the young lady."

"He is also very confused when he is confused." Xie Zhaozhao said lightly, but the corners of his lips were slightly curved, which showed that he was in a very good mood.

Hongxia and Xianggui looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

Xie Zhaozhao's tone was different from the tone he used when talking about Yun Qi.

Hongxia added: "It is said that this small hole is a Nanyang ornament in the next room. It also has a certain sound insulation effect. If we talk here, we can't hear it from the other side. It's really wonderful."

"He has a lot of good things." Xie Zhaozhao looked at the next room along the hole and suddenly frowned, "Someone went in."

"who?"

Xie Zhaozhao was speechless and stared at the hole for a while before retreating: "Hongxia, go and change the teapot on the table."

"Yes!"

Hongxia quietly went out and came back after a while carrying a teapot, "Miss, it's changed."

Xie Zhaozhao hooked his fingers on the handle of the wine bottle, and the corners of his lips raised a very cold arc.

Just now, following the small hole, she saw a man dressed as a waiter smearing something on the spout.

As expected, I can’t even see the coffin without crying.
