Pei Ruheng was still thinking about what he said before, but when he heard the last sentence, his face turned cold again: "Who is in love with you?"
Chen Baoxiang seemed not to hear what he said, and said to herself: "Although the government has cleared my name, I am still willing to go to your uncle's body to prove that I have no regrets."
"What body?" He stroked his chest and glared at her, "Don't curse my uncle."
"It's not a matter of cursing or not, I saw him with my own eyes-"
"Yesterday afternoon, my uncle was assassinated and was sent to Pei's house nearby. He was indeed seriously injured and on the verge of death." Pei Ruheng said unbearably, "But I have a miracle doctor at home, and he is fine now."
"Fine?" Chen Baoxiang and Zhang Zhixu asked together.
Pei Ruheng could only hear one voice, looked at her, and answered unhappily: "Otherwise, how could my sister have the heart to hold a full moon banquet."
Zhang Zhixu frowned and said nothing. Chen Baoxiang was silent for some reason.
The dead silence made the atmosphere in the pavilion particularly strange.
Pei Ruheng narrowed his eyes and looked at her: "You don't really want him to die, do you?"
Chen Baoxiang was stunned when she heard this, and stared back at him blankly. After a while, her eyes were red: "You have been rude to me since the first time we met, and you ignore me on weekdays. I was scared to death when I encountered such a big thing. It's okay if you don't comfort me, but you also squeeze me."
As she said that, tears really fell, splashing lightly on his knees.
Pei Ruheng's fingers on his knees moved.
Zhang Zhixu also came back to his senses, thinking, is this what it means to be happy with someone? She cried like this with just one word from someone?
But wait, why doesn't he feel sad?
Just thinking about it, he heard Chen Baoxiang shouting in his heart: Great Immortal, Great Immortal, things have come to this point, you should think of a solution, what should we do next!
Zhang Zhixu: ...
Women's mouths are really deceiving ghosts.
After calming down, he thought for a moment: Stand behind him.
Chen Baoxiang did as she was told, stood up crying, and pretended to stamp her feet to get behind Pei Ruheng.
- Then what?
- Then raise your hand.
- Like this? Then what?
- Then use the strength you used to support him to hit him on the back of the neck.
? ? ?
Chen Baoxiang was stunned, and it was too late to question him. Because of her strange movements, Pei Ruheng already wanted to look back.
She closed her eyes and hit him. The force was so great that Pei Ruheng fell to the side immediately.
"Hey, hey, hey!" She quickly reached out to catch him, and said with a smile, "Great Immortal, what are you doing?"
"Don't you want to get closer to him?" Zhang Zhixu said, "Now you have a reason to send him home and stay with him until he wakes up."
That's it.
Chen Baoxiang suddenly realized and gave a thumbs up: "The immortal is still smart."
Zhang Zhixu thought to himself, fortunately he is smart and she is stupid, if someone else came, he would not do what he said so easily.
Cheng Huaili is not dead, the arrow hit his heart, how could he not be dead?
We have to go to Pei's house to see it with our own eyes.
Chen Baoxiang helped Pei Ruheng walk out, Pei Rumei saw from a distance and ran over, holding the other side and asked in confusion: "What happened?"
"I don't know either." Chen Baoxiang felt a little guilty, "He fell down while we were talking just now."
Fortunately, Pei Rumei has always been close to her, and she didn't doubt it at all. She called the servants to come and got on the Pei's carriage with her.
"Don't worry, sister. Our family's miracle doctor is very good. Brother's illness is definitely not serious." She also comforted Chen Baoxiang, "If you are worried, wait until he wakes up before leaving." Chen Baoxiang was very embarrassed. As soon as she arrived at Pei's house, she wanted to help fetch water and make the bed, thinking that she could at least atone for her sins. As a result, the immortal stopped her and said, "That's what servants do. Not only will you not be impressed by others, but everyone in his house will look down on you." "Then what should I do?" "Go with Pei Rumei to ask for a doctor." It makes sense. Chen Baoxiang immediately stood up. "Sister, you can stay in the yard to rest." Pei Rumei said, "Our family is not high-ranking, so the rules are naturally not that strict." "This family is not high-ranking?" Chen Baoxiang was stunned. Pei Rumei looked at her exaggerated expression and couldn't help laughing. She took her hand and said as they walked: "We were originally a merchant family. We settled down in Shangjing after my uncle was blessed by the emperor."
"I know about this." Chen Baoxiang said, "General Cheng Huaili made great contributions in fighting the enemy at the border and blessed our family."
"Yes, my mother is already his married sister. He also treated our family well and sent my brother to participate in the imperial examination."
"That's great." Chen Baoxiang said with a smile, "I also want to have a family like General Cheng."
Zhang Zhixu listened silently, feeling angry.
Cheng Huaili was born in the countryside and was domineering. He relied on his merits in Liangzhou and disrespected the new emperor when he came to Beijing, forcing himself to call him a brother. He bullied his colleagues and would report them for wrongful imprisonment if they were not satisfied. He was even more harsh to his subordinates, and it was common for him to occupy good farmland and kill innocent people.
Just a few months ago, he had forced the new emperor to issue an order to let the Zhang family marry the youngest daughter of the fourth room who had just come of age to him as his second wife.
The elders of the Zhang family had many thoughts and were afraid to act rashly, but he was a man who did not care about his life. He set up a trap at the Burning Tail Banquet to drag Cheng Huaili to death together. Then the crime would not fall on the Zhang family who had lost their beloved son, and Cheng Huaili would not be able to do evil in the world anymore.
The plan was a good plan, but he did not expect that the Pei family also had a miracle doctor hidden.
"Hey, Doctor Wang, it's rare that you're in the pharmacy." Pei Rumei greeted him as she entered the room. "My brother got drunk and fainted, and I was just thinking of asking you to go over and take a look."
Chen Baoxiang looked up and saw an old man with a white beard busy in the pharmacy. He said, "You're busy, Third Miss. The guest house is in a hurry."
Seven or eight pots of medicine were cooking on the small stove. They smelled bitter. The medicine boys were also very anxious. One was sorting the herbs, one was grinding the herbs, and another was running around the room anxiously: "Where's the fried white atractylodes? Where's the fried white atractylodes? I saw it just now."
Pei Rumei didn't know the herbs, so she thought she'd better leave first and not cause any trouble.
Unexpectedly, Chen Baoxiang next to her suddenly spoke up: "Isn't it on the low table next to the millstone?"
The medicine boy saw it and ran over to get the medicine, bowing to her repeatedly: "Thank you very much."
Wang Shou took the time to look at the door and said curiously: "Do you know the medicinal materials?"
Chen Baoxiang certainly didn't know, but Zhang Zhixu said: "I have read the "Pharmacopoeia"."
"Oh?" Wang Shou looked at her while picking up the medicine, "The one published during the Baoqing period?"
"No, it's the one published during the Tianfu period." Zhang Zhixu said, "I was planning to recite it again when I have time."
Chen Baoxiang's eyes widened as she spoke, thinking to herself, "Master, don't bring me along when you brag, I don't even know the characters, how can I recite the "Pharmacopoeia" by heart.
Wang Shou opposite also felt it was ridiculous, frowned and glanced at her, and said perfunctorily: "In that case, please teach me one volume, if you really succeed, someone will definitely reward you handsomely."
