Rebirth of Shuangshu

Chapter 74 Meeting
Groundbreaking.

Early this morning, Lin Xiaoxiao came to make a soup as usual, but was told that the messenger didn't want to drink the soup anymore, and asked her to prepare some plasters for external application to remove scars.

Lin Xiaoxiao had no choice but to temporarily write a prescription for plaster materials, and asked the servants of the Guozhang's mansion to go out to buy them.

Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't bear to use the herbs she hoarded to give the messenger medicine, and she didn't dare to use her own.From prescriptions to medicinal materials, everything has to be clearly listed, so as to reassure the Guozhang Mansion and Zheng Guoren.

Today's Guozhang's Mansion is also somewhat different.The servant came and went in a hurry, with a somewhat happy expression on his face.

When she went to get the medicinal materials from the steward, Lin Xiaoxiao knew the reason.

Just yesterday, Zheng Guo's letter of credence arrived, and it was a foregone conclusion between Sixteen Niang and Zheng Guo.The Guozhang's Mansion and You Rong Yan, the whole mansion is full of joy, except for one person.

Sixteen Niang's maid came to Lin Xiaoxiao again: "Miss, please ask Shannu to come and talk."

Lin Xiaoxiao followed the maid to Sixteen Niang's yard. The maid hesitated a few times, then pulled Lin Xiaoxiao and said, "I beg Shan Nu to persuade Sixteen Niang, my lady is confined in the mansion, and neither are the friends I used to know." Come to visit, only Shannv can talk to her."

Lin Xiaoxiao asked in surprise, "What happened to Liu Niang?"

"My lady hasn't had a drop of water since yesterday." The maid's voice trembled.

Lin Xiaoxiao asked: "Do the husband and wife know?"

"No, I dare not say it." The maid's voice was crying.

Lin Xiaoxiao stopped in her tracks: "How dare you keep it secret and not report it, aren't you afraid that the father-in-law will investigate?"

The maid pleaded: "The head of the state said that he would let the lady lift the ban when the letter of credence came. If the head of the state knows that the lady is human, I am afraid that he will continue to be restrained."

This maid is very considerate of her master.

Lin Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment and said: "Liu Niang's body is weak, and her foundation will be damaged if she doesn't drink water for a long time. I can try to persuade her, if anything goes wrong, she should immediately report to the father-in-law. It’s not something I can wait for.”

The maid swears that if Liu Niang refuses to listen to her persuasion, she will immediately report to the king.

Lin Xiaoxiao still has some compassion for Sixteen Niangs.Also as a woman, when the fate cannot be autonomous, there will always be some empathy.

Lin Xiaoxiao checked Sixteen Niang's pulse and prescribed some appetizing and calming medicine for her.While the maid was preparing the medicinal materials, Lin Xiaoxiao and Liu Niang started talking.

Sixteen Niang didn't look very energetic, Lin Xiaoxiao decided to take a strong medicine: "I heard that the lady is going to Zheng Guo?"

Sixteen Niang's pale face immediately darkened, she turned her head abruptly and no one wanted to talk to her.

Lin Xiaoxiao continued: "I heard that the territory of Zheng State is very large, four or five times that of Hua State."

Sixteen Niang still turned her head, but her ears seemed to be pricked up.

"Miss, have you read "Tian Lian's Travel Notes"? It is said that it is a letter written by a ranger named Tian Lian. It records what he heard and saw when he traveled around the world, and Zheng Guo was written in it."

Sixteen Niang quietly turned her face away, listening secretly.

"Tian Lian said that the capital of the State of Zheng is three times the size of Hua, and there are tens of thousands of people living in it. He also said that the state of Zheng has more than [-] chariots and horses, and Duke Wu of Zheng is as powerful as the Son of Zhou."

Sixteen Niang suddenly stood up and looked at Lin Xiaoxiao.

"The mountain girl is too bold, how can she compare the thief with the emperor."

"Fifteen years ago, Duke Wu of Zheng led his army to block the allied forces of the princes of the emperor of Zhou and defeated the emperor's army. Zheng Guo and the royal family of the Great Zhou exchanged the prince as a hostage."

Sixteen Niang frowned: "Why haven't I heard of this?"

Lin Xiaoxiao smiled: "The lady is not yet double eight, and she was only a baby 15 years ago. This is a scandal for the emperor, who dares to talk about it?"

"Zheng Wugong is really so scary?" Sixteen Niang still didn't believe it.

Lin Xiaoxiao said: "Young lady, you can ask the father-in-law to verify whether it is true or not."

alright.Sixteen Niang regained her spirits, and Lin Xiaoxiao retired.

Lin Xiaoxiao went back to her place in the shade room.

Erya was drying medicinal herbs in the yard, and when she saw Lin Xiaoxiao came back, she immediately approached her and whispered.

"Shannv, Mr. Hu and the others have come to the capital."

Lin Xiaoxiao froze for a moment: "The beard belongs to them?"

"Exactly," Erya said, "I met them when I went out in the morning. Oh no, I think they found me."

Lin Xiaoxiao dragged Erya into the room and closed the door.

"What's going on? Tell me carefully."

Erya then told about how she met Green Slave in the medicine store in the morning.

"The green slave said that Mr. Hu will come to the manor of the state leader tomorrow, and he will ask the mountain girl for medical consultation. There is no need for the mountain girl to pretend that she doesn't know him."

"Is he sick? No, even if he is sick, he may not necessarily come to the capital to find me. What else did the green slave say?"

Er Ya shook her head.

Lin Xiaoxiao frowned, unable to figure out why Hu Zigui came to the capital suddenly, for a while she wondered if something happened on Niu Shou Mountain, and for a while she wondered if Hu Zigui was really sick.

The next day, Lin Xiaoxiao woke up early in the morning.Because the external ointment was changed yesterday for Mr. Messenger, she doesn't need to go there every day to boil the medicine.

After tidying up early, Lin Xiaoxiao waited in the house for Hu Zigui to visit.It wasn't until it was lunch time that someone called her to the banquet hall.

Lin Xiaoxiao frowned tightly, and followed the servants to the banquet hall.

A banquet is being held in the banquet hall. The person sitting at the top is Thirteen Lang, and there are about a dozen guests in the two rows on the left and right. The acquaintance of Lin Xiaoxiao outside.

Lin Xiaoxiao came in.The banquet is suspended.

Thirteen Lang said to Lin Xiaoxiao: "I have a friend who is not feeling well today, please ask Shannv to treat him once or twice."

Lin Xiaoxiao nodded silently, her eyes swept over everyone present, her attitude was neither humble nor overbearing.

Hu Zigui left the table at the right time, walked up to Lin Xiaoxiao, and made a big gift.

"I never wanted to meet Shannv here."

Lin Xiaoxiao bowed back: "So it's Young Master Hu."

"Oh? So the two are old acquaintances?" Thirteen Lang asked in surprise.

Hu Zigui said to Thirteenth Lang: "When I returned to Hua Country in the future, I was treated by a mountain girl."

"Oh, I remembered, the mountain girl is from the old Hu, and you are all from the old Hu." Thirteen Lang's expression was a little playful, "That's really a coincidence."

Hu Zigui shook his head and said, "The mountain girl comes from the mountain."

Lin Xiaoxiao listened silently for a while and said, "Young Master Hu is sick? It's a mess here, can you change the place?"

Thirteen Lang said: "Come here, find them an empty room."

Lin Xiaoxiao and Hu Zigui followed the servants to the empty room next to them.The servant was very knowledgeable and closed the door when he left.

Lin Xiaoxiao sat down on the stool and stared at Hu Zigui: "Why are you here? If it's not for a reasonable reason, I won't forgive you."

Huzi turned serious and said: "I have something important to do, so I can't gossip. Shannv has to leave the capital as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult to leave."

"What happened?"
