Rebirth of Shuangshu

Chapter 83 Death

Lin Xiaoxiao rested her fingers on Cui Panpan's wrist.

"You studied Chinese medicine before?" Cui Panpan asked curiously.We must know that Chinese medicine in later generations has been suppressed miserably, especially the young people who study Chinese medicine are very few.

"No," Lin Xiaoxiao shook her head, "Grassroots civil servants, small towns on the [-]th line."

Cui Panpan's mouth twitched: "Then you know the pulse?"

"I didn't know it at first, but I learned it from other people," Lin Xiaoxiao explained, "My dad used to be a barefoot doctor, and there are a lot of Chinese medicine books at home. I learned it by myself after wearing it. Do you want to learn it? I can borrow it from you .”

Cui Panpan's eyes lit up, and then he shook his head: "Forget it, I'm impatient to study these things, and I'll just see you for medical treatment in the future."

"There is nothing wrong with your body, but you are deficient and malnourished. Are you short of money? I heard that big families pay monthly money. How much is your monthly salary?"

Cui Panpan complained: "The Tian family is stingy, they only give food but not money every month. They also withhold the dowry, and they only give me a little to get rid of it."

"Does your natal family care? These days, you can rely on your natal family. You can't rely on yourself."

Speaking of the Cui family, Cui Panpan became more bitter: "Don't mention it, that Cui family."

Lin Xiaoxiao and Cui Panpan opened the chatter box like turning on a faucet, which slipped and couldn't be turned off.

"It's too miserable for you. Although I don't have any money, I don't have to worry about food and clothing. I have a mountain in Hua Country, and I have stockpiled a lot of supplies. I will protect you in the future, and tell me what you need."

With a wave of her hand, Lin Xiaoxiao took out piles of things from the warehouse: rice noodle sausages in sacks, fresh venison and mutton, as well as marinated meat, all kinds of eggs and bird eggs were packed in baskets, sheep Dairy milk, etc., and fresh vegetables.

Lin Xiaoxiao also brought out two large bottles of multivitamins.This is what she got in the lucky draw before.

"Supplement the nutrition and enhance the body's immunity. You also know these things."

Cui Panpan looked at the things piled up half the room, envious and jealous: "Do you have space?"

"The system is called the reputation system," Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but sighed, "I have to collect points in this space, otherwise I won't be able to use it. I was originally a low-key person, so I insisted on using reputation to do things. I am timid , I have only collected more than 2000 points so far. It is not enough at all, and I have to keep it for farming. Hey, I don’t know when I will be able to realize the freedom of points.”

Cui Panpan's teeth itch with hatred: "Why don't I have a system?"

Lin Xiaoxiao fell off a cliff in order to save someone, did the system give her a reward?And Cui Panpan once wanted to give up her life, so God deprived her of her system as punishment?

But Lin Xiaoxiao has a different opinion: "You have your own advantages, and you come from a rich family. Although it is a bit poor, it is better than those ordinary people and savages. At least you can't starve to death. Also, you are beautiful, which is also true. Strengths. That Tian family didn’t treat you well, so change it to something better in the future.”

Lin Xiaoxiao took out a full-length mirror from the warehouse and placed it in front of Cui Panpan.

"Wow" Cui Panpan looked left and right in front of the full-length mirror.

Not to mention, this is really the first time she has seen what she looks like after time travel.Bronze mirrors are very expensive these days, and they are not as clear as water mirrors.

"What else do you need?"

"It seems that there is no shortage. I can't remember it right now. I will look for you later when I remember it."

"You're welcome."

Cui Panpan is good at cooking, and he also cooks good tea.From then on, Lin Xiaoxiao came to the farmhouse almost every day to eat.Lin Xiaoxiao even wanted to move here and let it go.There are only three of them in Tianzhai, more comfortable than in Fangfeiyuan.

It's a pity that things are impermanent.

In the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed, and the weather is getting hotter. Princess Huazi still lives in Fangfei Garden, and the wedding is far away.

Lu He would enter the capital every day and walk through various channels.Beard belongs to them too, they are very busy every day.

The rest of the marriage team was a little restless.

Then a large group of people lived on the mountain, they were cautious at first when they first arrived, and then gradually relaxed.

Sixteen Niang is still a girl at heart. Although her personality is not lively, she is not the kind who can bear her temper.

On this day, under the arrangement of Lu He, Hu Zigui and others, Liu Niang sneaked into the capital with a few maids in disguise, and spent three days in the capital.

If Liu Niang hadn't come back and fell ill, Lin Xiaoxiao would not have known about it.

Sixteen Niang has a gynecological disease.Lin Xiaoxiao prescribed her medicine for internal and external use.

Lin Xiaoxiao didn't know what to say, but seeing Liu Niang's yearning for spring, she felt a little cold.

Lin Xiaoxiao quietly found Hu Zigui that night and asked, "Liu Niang sneaked into the city a few days ago, did you know about it?"

Hu Zigui's expression was very serious: "I know, this matter is arranged by me and the commander, and I ask Shannv to keep it a secret for now."

Lin Xiaoxiao froze for a moment, then a thought flashed in her mind.

"That's all you want, you don't have to tell me what to do."

Lin Xiaoxiao suddenly lost interest.

"Thank you Shannv for understanding my difficulties."

"You use her like this. Hey, I just remind you not to trust her too much. She can't hide what's on her mind. Before it happens, it's best not to let her know about you. "

"Thank you Shannv for reminding me."

Although Lin Xiaoxiao felt that Sixteen Niang could not keep a secret, she turned around and sold Huzigui to Cui Panpan.

Under the elm tree, by the stone table.

Lin Xiaoxiao took a sip of the green tea, and let out a long breath of foul breath.

"I always forgot to ask, why are you so good at frying tea?"

Cui Panpan also took a sip of tea, but there was a self-deprecating smile on his face.

"I studied the history of ancient literature as a graduate student. My supervisor loves Longjing the most. In order to please her, I went to Hangzhou to learn how to make tea and even wrote a thesis on the history of ancient tea."

Lin Xiaoxiao gave a thumbs up: "Excellent. Where did you buy your tea trees? The variety is very similar to Longjing."

"I didn't buy it. There are wild tea trees in Qingcang Mountain. I carefully selected a few and transplanted them here."

The tea tree transplanted by Cui Panpan was planted in the courtyard of the farm house, only watered by the spring water in the pool behind, and the manure of animals in the mountains was used as fertilizer, which can be described as meticulous care.

Suddenly, Cui Panpan's eyes lit up and he asked, "Can you transplant the tea tree into your space? Will it grow better in the space and have a chance to evolve into a spiritual tea tree?"

Lin Xiaoxiao told her regretfully: "No. The things outside can only be put into the warehouse, not into the space.

My system space is not an aura space, and the quality of the things planted is the same as outside.There will be no increase in production, no variation, and even the same growth cycle.The difference is probably that there are fewer natural and man-made disasters, and there will be no unproductive situations. "

Cui Panpan's eyes dimmed.

Lin Xiaoxiao added: "Give me a few tins of tea, I'll store them in the warehouse, rather than keep them outside to keep them fresh."

Cui Panpan thought of the fresh meat that Lin Xiaoxiao brought out, so he handed over the tea leaves he kept at home to Lin Xiaoxiao for safekeeping.

Lin Xiaoxiao took the tea, looked around suddenly, approached the table and whispered: "There is something, you have to be on guard."

Cui Panpan thought there was gossip, and immediately became energetic: "What's the matter?"

"I suspect that those Hua people are going to assassinate Zheng Guogong." Lin Xiaoxiao dropped a bomb in a light tone, with a relaxed expression as if the matter had nothing to do with her.

Cui Panpan couldn't react, and subconsciously asked: "Hua people? Those who live in Fangfeiyuan on the top of the mountain?"

Lin Xiaoxiao nodded: "Do you still remember that bearded man I mentioned to you?"

"Of course I remember, Old Hu's son fled to Hua Country just like you."

"It's that group of people, I think they are plotting to assassinate Zheng Guogong."

"Isn't his mother Zheng Guogong's daughter? Then Zheng Guogong is his grandfather. Why didn't he seek refuge with Zheng Guogong but wanted to kill him instead?"

"The enmity of his parents, the hatred of the subjugation of the country. Unless he loses his reputation, he will never seek refuge with Zheng Guogong."

Hu Zigui's mother, Zheng Ji, committed suicide at the gate of the old Hu capital, which tore the blood relationship between Hu Zigui and Zheng Guogong.

"But I heard that Hua and Zheng's couples are about to die. Zheng Guogong has never seen that Hua Zi princess. How can they have a chance to assassinate?"

"Beauty trick, Sixteen Niang, that Princess Slider looks a little worse than you, but she has received special education since she was a child, and she is good at singing and dancing, with a lot of means."

"It's a little scary for you to say. Even if the slippery princess is born beautiful, she still needs to be able to meet Zheng Guogong."

"I suspect that she has already met Zheng Guogong, or met someone who can talk to Zheng Guogong. The style of this era, um, for example, Qin Shihuang's mother, it is said that she was a dancer before marrying Shihuang's father?"

"It's not a dancer, ah, she is a good dancer, she married Lu Buwei first, and then was given to Ying Zheng's father."

"In short, in this day and age, the relationship between men and women is too chaotic."

"It's because of the low status of women that they are sent around."

"It's far away. Let's talk about Sixteen Niang, I think she is a bit like Ying Zheng's mother. Those who belong to the beard may dedicate her to a high-ranking official first, and then the executive will introduce her to Zheng Guogong .”

"This kind of thing is very common here. For example, Xishi Diaochan, etc., beautiful women often have bad luck."

"According to my guess, Sixteen Niang has already hooked up with someone, but I don't know who this person is."

"If your guess is correct, then this matter is very troublesome. Once the Hua people's intentions are exposed, everyone in the marriage team will be punished with death. What should you do?"

"I can use the space to teleport away, but it needs to consume a lot of points."

Lin Xiaoxiao had checked in the space before, and it would take [-] points to teleport from Qingcang Mountain back to Niu Shou Mountain.

"Ah, so jealous."

"I'm still jealous of your smartness. If I encountered something about you in Tianfu when I crossed over, I would probably be beaten to death. You are smart and can escape. It's probably because I'm stupid that God gave it to you." my system."

Cui Panpan was very pleased with Lin Xiaoxiao's moderate praise, he raised his eyebrows and showed a smug smile.

"Then what should I do to prepare? The assassination of Zheng Guogong by Hua people has nothing to do with me."

"Always be mentally prepared. In case something happens one day and officers and soldiers come to arrest people on the mountain, you'd better hide and don't be implicated."

"You think so far ahead."

"I'm used to planning for a rainy day."

Things are still impermanent.

Liu Niang recovered from her illness not long after.After that, I would go to the capital every now and then, and every time I went, I didn't return on the same day.

Indistinctly, there were rumors in Fangfei Garden.Regarding the scandal about the owner of Fangfeiyuan, people only dare to talk about it in private.

To Lin Xiaoxiao's surprise, most people were optimistic that Liu Niang would find another backer.

Everyone felt that since Zheng Guogong refused to have Princess Huazi, it was acceptable for Princess Huazi to marry other Zheng Guo nobles.

The marriage with the parents is a matter publicly announced by the two countries, and there are documents from the two countries as a guarantee.Now, although one party didn't say it clearly, it's almost the same as breaking the contract.But the other party didn't even dare to get angry, and only wanted to retreat to the next best thing.

This is the reality caused by the power gap between the two countries.

Skaters are right to think so.You can't beat it, you can only compromise.This battle with the parents is a delay in the war, and it can be delayed for one day.

I don't know if Skater was lucky or not.

On a certain summer day three months after the marriage team was stationed in Qingcang Mountain, a death knell suddenly sounded in the capital.

Zheng Guogong died.

On that day, it happened to be Lin Xiaoxiao's turn to check Sixteen Niang's pulse.If not, she would suspect that Hu Zigui and others succeeded.

The bell was dull and long, and it was heard far, far away.Standing on the top of Qingcang Mountain, you can hear it clearly.

In the house of Fangfeiyuan.

Lin Xiaoxiao and Sixteen Niang also heard it.

Sixteen Niang was startled and almost fell off the couch.She knew the meaning of the death knell better than Lin Xiaoxiao.

Lu He immediately ordered people to surround Fangfeiyuan to prevent You Xiaoxiao from fishing in troubled waters.Lin Xiaoxiao wanted to go to the mountainside to find Cui Panpan, but she was also stopped from going out.

Hu Zigui personally brought Hu Sanlang and others into the capital to inquire about news.

Lin Xiaoxiao climbed to the roof of the tallest room in Fangfei Garden and looked down the mountain, only to see that there were horses and horses leaving the mountain and heading towards the capital city.

On this day, the people on Qingcang Mountain were in panic.

At night, Hu Zigui has not returned.Lin Xiaoxiao thought that he might not be able to return to Qingcang Mountain today.

But at midnight, Hu Zigui came back with A Chai.He went to see Lu He first, and then came to Lin Xiaoxiao.

"The city gate is not closed?" Lin Xiaoxiao asked Hu Zigui to go out of the city overnight and rush to the difference.

"Closed, I gave up some money," Hu Zigui said, "Thank the mountain girl Hongfu, Zheng Guogong is dead."

Lin Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment.Although I had roughly guessed it, I was still a little shocked when I heard the exact news.

Lin Xiaoxiao suddenly raised her head and looked at Hu Zigui: "You guys did it?"

Now it was Hu Zigui's turn to be in a daze, fortunately he was not slow to react.

"No, it has nothing to do with us. Zheng Guogong was seriously ill a few months ago, and it was because of this that he did not meet Princess Huazi, and the wedding date was delayed again and again. It is said that Zheng Guogong fell into a coma a few days ago. I die today. The news has been blocked by the court, and we have found reliable eyes and ears to get a cure."

"Died of illness? How many months? Was it a few months? Did he fall ill after the letter of national peace was issued?"

"Just when we were on the road, before we crossed the border between the two countries, he fell ill."

"It's no wonder that Yongjiu's death was anticlimactic, and no one even cared about the burning of Luquanyi."

"What's the situation in the capital now, who is the new Zheng Guogong?"
