Chapter 1311 (1/2)
When Banxia was taken down, Baihui had already inquired about the location of Magnolia grandiflora. It was in the northwest corner of the back garden of Bixiao hall. There was a small pine forest and several Magnolia grandiflora were planted beside it. Because the location was remote and the pine forest was dark, even the maid of Bixiao Hall didn't like to go there.
Two servant girls accompany Nangong Yue back to Bixiao hall. Baihui leads the way in front of him, and arrives soon.
In winter, seven or eight Magnolia grandiflora trees stood there. Compared with other flowers and trees in the palace, their branches and leaves were obviously not so green, and they looked a little somber.
It's not only Magnolia grandiflora, but also this small pine forest is not very good. When Nangong Yue first arrived at Bixiao hall, he felt a little strange. He thought it was the people who didn't take good care of it. Now it seems that there is a reason.
The woman in charge of flowers and trees was also called. She didn't know what was going on. She was a little nervous.
”Mrs. Hu.” Baihui asked, ”these Magnolia grandiflora don't seem to grow very well.”
Mrs. Hu was startled. No matter what kind of pine forest was planted, it would not grow well, even if it was carefully taken care of. Fortunately, no one came here and no one investigated her ”dereliction of duty”. After a long time, Mrs. Hu did not care. I didn't expect that the imperial concubine had come in person!
She was so scared that she said in a trembling voice, ”Princess Mingcha, the maid has done her best, but, but...” She raised her head carefully and looked at the princess. Without waiting for Baihui to ask, she followed closely and said, ”I heard that a Magnolia grandiflora had withered and died a dozen years ago. Since then, the flowers and trees in the small pine forest have become like this.”
Mrs. Hu was afraid that the imperial concubine felt that she was shirking responsibility, but the truth was like this!
She waited in terror until Baihui asked, ”where did that dead Magnolia grow?”
”There it is.” Mrs. Hu raised her finger and pointed to a direction, ”I heard that after the death of Magnolia grandiflora, replanting several times did not feed, so I simply left the ground empty.” After she took over the flowers and trees, she followed the old pattern and did not plant them again.
Baihui looked at nangongyue's expression and said tentatively: ”shizifei, do you want to...”
”Dig.” Nangong Yue's face was as heavy as water and gave a word.
Baihui takes orders with her knees bent.
She asked Mrs. Hu to take the shovel and dig it herself.
Dig three feet!
Nangong Yue stood there, she would not avoid, but to witness everything with her own eyes.
After a while, Baihui's shovel digging stopped, and thrush found a piece of coarse cloth. Then, Baihui dug all the ”things” onto the coarse cloth and presented it to nangongyue.
After many years, the dregs of medicine have almost been mixed with the mud. If they didn't come here purposefully, I'm afraid it would be hard to think of them. These are drug residues. Fortunately, there were a lot of medicinal residues in those years, and the land had not been planted with flowers and trees for many years, so the evidence still remained.
Nangongyue picked up some mud and put it under his nose to smell it. Unfortunately, it was a long time ago, and the residue had already changed its smell. It was necessary to use a different method to identify the specific components of these residues.
”Take it back first,” she ordered
Baihui answered and carefully wrapped up the residue.
Although she didn't understand what happened, she still realized that there was something terrible in the mud. She was so scared that she didn't dare to move. Nangong Yue gave her a light glance, and she fell to her knees with a ”plop”.
Thrush left for the moment, Nangong Yue went back with Baihui first.
Instead of going back to her room, she went to the pharmacy.
Nangong Yue opened several small ceramic bowls, personally divided the medicine residue into several parts and put them one by one. Then he asked Baihui to take some water and carefully poured it into the bowl.
First, he patiently washed away some of the sludge, and then he put the residues in the ceramic utensils and cooked them slowly with different heat
All of them, Nangong Yue did not fake others' hands.
As time went by, the setting sun set and the sky outside became dark. Until a pale moon appeared in the eastern sky, the door of the pharmacy was opened again. Nangong Yue came out of the room with a dignified face.
After all, it has been nearly 19 years. After all, she has tried every means to determine the 70% or 80% of the medicinal materials contained in the residue. However, it is enough to confirm that this is a chronic medicine, which can cause pregnant women to slide their fetus and lead to two deaths
I don't know whether it was the health of the first princess or the luck of Yi. She finally survived to the day of birth, but she still couldn't escape the catastrophe of blood letting and dystocia
Nangong Yue felt a spasm of pain in his heart and almost couldn't breathe.
The net of heaven is great, but it is careless.
After 19 years, she can still find clues, which means that evil will be rewarded with evil!
She looked up at the silver moon in the night and took a deep breath. When her mood calmed down, she walked back to her room.
The thrush was waiting. Seeing her, she immediately came forward and said, ”princess, the maid has already knocked the old lady Hu. She doesn't dare to talk.”Nangong Yue slightly jaw head, while listening to thrush report afternoon palace trivia, while walking to the house.
The silver reward for all the people in the palace has been handed out. The people are very happy because they have added a month's extra money. Especially after hearing that there will be another red letter for the new year, they work hard.
Although there are many trivial things about the new year's Eve in this Nuo Da Zhennan palace, they are all set in the past year. In the first year, Nangong Yue didn't want to change the old rules, so things like rewards, ritual lists, banquets, ancestor worship and so on, could be clearly seen through the accounts of previous years. Although Nangong Yue followed the old rules, he saved nearly a third of his money than in previous years.
It is obvious where the money of the past year has gone.
When Nangong Yue went to invite the king of Zhennan with his account book, he was praised by him. He only said that the imperial concubine was virtuous, capable and thrifty. Therefore, even if Mrs. Qiao came two or three times later, he would not mention letting her come to help Nangong Yue.
After Xiao Fei and Xiao Ni had worked out the list of gifts, cars of festival gifts were sent out from the Zhennan palace. At the same time, more festival gifts were sent to the palace, some from the dignified steward's mother, and some from the door.
This year, in particular, coincided with the riots in Nanliang. Many of the residences in Luoyue city were accompanied by their children.
For these mansions, if his wife came to visit, Nangong Yue would see them according to the situation.
Like Tian family, Yao family, Hua family wait.
And, of course, Chang's.
It's a pity that the old Wang's family, who died in Jiangzhong, did not follow the old people.
The old lady of the Chang family used to be a tough master. Seeing this, she made a decision and directly sent Chang Huaixi, who had a good or bad view of the third generation of children and grandchildren, to yandingcheng. She thought how much she could scrape military achievements and get a future.
However, Chang Huaixi was also a spoiled child. Although Chang's family sent him out, they were afraid that he would annoy the son of the world.
After waiting for half a year, Mrs. Chang took advantage of the opportunity to send gifts to Nangong Yue.
Nangong Yue also met Chang Huaixi when he was in yandingcheng. Hearing that Madame Chang was coming, she told her maid to take people to the small flower hall.
Baihui put on a moon brocade inlaid cloak for her and moved away.
As soon as I entered the small flower hall, I saw a pair of mother and daughter with four or five similar looks sitting on a mahogany ring chair. Mrs. Chang seems to be in her forties, wearing a purple blue silk embroidered eight ball flower mound; Chang San girl is about 14 or 15 years old, wearing a scallion green plate gold embroidered cotton loaf. She looks young and beautiful, and is similar to Chang Wu's son in three or four points 。
Seeing Nangong Yue coming, the mother and daughter quickly stood up to salute: ”I've seen the princess.”
”No gift.” Nangong Yue said with a smile and sat down on the top of a chair.
After the three saw the ceremony, Mrs. Chang introduced her daughter: ”princess, this is the third daughter of my concubine. Her maiden name is Huanwei. Sister Wei, give me a gift to the princess. ”
Chang Huanwei walks forward and bows again.
Nangong Yue looked at Chang Huanwei, politely praised her, such as ”smart, agile, dignified and virtuous” and so on. He took off the gold and white jade bracelet between his wrists and gave it to the other party. He asked, ”what does Chang San like to do on weekdays?”
”Wei'er thanks the princess.” Chang Huanwei bowed her knees to thank him and said, ”Wei'er likes playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting on weekdays, and does needlework.”
Although Xiaoyue's two brothers and sisters are not the same as their father and sister, they are not the same as their parents.
Madame Chang glanced at the gold and white jade bracelet without trace. She saw that it was the best white marble, and her look was even more joyful.
I heard that Princess Shizi had just returned from yandingcheng. Look at her attitude, xige'er was obviously taken seriously by shiziye! What a blessing! She can't help but be glad that when her mother-in-law asked xige'er to go to the battlefield, she didn't stop her Well, in fact, she wanted to make a scene, but her mother-in-law said that in the future, the Chang family would be inherited by the eldest son. Now, the Chang family does not have much friendship with his son-in-law. It is hard to say whether other children and grandchildren are good or bad.
