Chapter 147 The Man in the Picture

Tuanzi turned around when he heard the voice, tilted his little head, and smiled toothily at him. He looked cute, obedient, and adorable in his scholar's robe and little scarf.

Shen Lingjue's expression was indifferent and he ignored her. He put his hands behind his back and looked over there. He was extremely calm for his young age.

Tuanzi felt a little disappointed, his smile disappeared, and he turned around quickly.

As she turned around, something very small hit the railing and landed on the ground.

Sheng Minglin opened the door and came out, and Shen Lingjue's hand suddenly went into his sleeve.

Sheng Minglin didn't pay attention to the side. He took a quick look and was a little surprised: "This painting..."

This restaurant is really good at fun. When I came here just now, it was covered with a cloth. Now that the willow shooting competition was over, the cloth was removed, revealing a huge mural. It's Sheliu, and it's the scenery on the opposite side. It's even a bit shocking at first glance.

Sheng Minglin didn't know how to paint, but he just thought it looked very beautiful, so he turned around and called: "Little crow slave, come out and take a look!"

Huo Chenzhao responded, and Sheng Minglin smiled and pointed to the opposite side, asking him how his painting was.

Huo Chenzhao looked up and didn't answer for a moment. Tuanzi tugged on his brother's clothes: "Pot, pot, pot, pot!"

Sheng Minglin squatted down and said with a smile: "What?"

Tuanzi glanced at Shen Lingjue secretly, and whispered to his brother: "Why is there no pot pot in the painting?"

Sheng Minglin smiled and said: "This painting may have been painted for a long time, so many people are not included in the painting, not only this pot, but also other pots. The people in this painting may have been When I grow up, I become an uncle and no longer participate in Sheliu Shooting."

Tuanzi suddenly nodded and continued to look at the railing.

She was so small, much shorter than the railing, that she couldn't even reach the top with her extended hands, so she could only hold on to the carvings and look through the railing.

Sheng Minglin picked her up, pointed to the opposite side and said with a smile, "Zhu Zhu'er, count how many white horses there are."

Zhuzhu counted in a milky voice: "One, E, mountain..."

Zhuzhu is actually very smart, but she is particularly bad at numbers, so she can only count to five correctly. Sheng Minglin taught her in a low voice: "Six, seven, eight..."

The Seventh Prince came out and took a few glances. He was not very interested and called them: "The dishes are ready and it's time to eat!"

They both responded in unison and turned around.

Huo Chenzhao had already taken two steps when he suddenly let out a sigh. He squatted down and looked closely at a small drop of water on the railing. Then he took out the handkerchief from his sleeve, dipped it lightly, and smelled it. Something was wrong with his expression.

Sheng Minglin said inside: "Little crow slave? Shen Zhao? What are you doing?"

He glanced away from the screen, saw him like this, and came over again: "What's wrong?"

Huo Chenzhao said: "I saw a drop of water here, it seems poisonous."

Sheng Minglin's smile disappeared on the spot: "What? Where is it?" As he asked, he also saw the faint traces of water, and his face changed slightly: "Zhu Zhu'er was standing here just now!"

The two stood up at the same time and walked quickly inside. Shen Lingjue next to him raised his eyelids, glanced at the ground, turned around and entered the room.

Zhuzhu has already sat down.

She had eaten little breakfast and was already starving. She washed her hands and picked up a piece of cake to eat.

Sheng Minglin rushed in, hugged her and began to inspect her from head to toe. Huo Chenzhao squatted down to inspect her feet and legs. Sheng Minglin held the dumpling in his arms and looked at the light carefully with him.

Tuanzi was completely confused. She was still thinking about how she wanted to eat when she was hungry. Even though she was being held hostage, she subconsciously raised her hand to her mouth, and then she started eating bite by bite.

Princess Duan was startled: "What's wrong?"

Sheng Minglin said this, and Princess Duan was surprised. She also went out to take a look, and then came back and said, "What kind of poison is it? Is this dish okay?"

Sheng Minglin reached back and snatched the snack from Zhuzhu's hand.Huo Chenzhao said: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's okay. This is not a poison put in the food, but a poison tempered on the hidden weapon of the golden needle. It will only work if it breaks the skin and penetrates the skin."

Sheng Minglin and Tuanzi stared at each other, and then Sheng Minglin put the snack back into his sister's hand.

After eating a few mouthfuls of dumplings to appease his hunger, he moved on to the next step. He said, "Guo Guo, are you feeling swollen?"

"It's okay," Sheng Minglin comforted her: "Eat Zhuzhu."

Huo Chenzhao continued: "It is not an immediate poison, but it is very clever. After it enters the skin, the body will gradually weaken and it will be difficult to feel the pulse. Well, if you are an adult, it should not be life-threatening. You will be sick for a few months."

Princess Duan nodded slowly and said: "Keep your voice down, this is my own business, my sister-in-law Zhuzhu's dowry! If you open it here, you can only make a few days of money in a year!"

During the Dragon Boat Festival, there are only a few restaurants nearby, and the best seats are only those ones. Even if you have money, you may not be able to book one, so you don’t have to be rich or expensive, but you must be rich and expensive, but you don’t usually have to be rich or expensive. How come there are people.

Huo Chenzhao checked it over and said, "It's okay."

Sheng Minglin breathed a sigh of relief and then put Zhuzhu back on his seat.

Princess Duan whispered: "This is probably a trick played by the female family members in someone's backyard. There were people coming and going outside just now, and it accidentally dripped onto the ground... Maybe she used her fingernails to dip her hands in water to pinch people!" "

She tilted her head slightly and listened: "I'll ask the stewards in a moment which people belong to these rooms and if anyone's skin has been pinched. Don't worry."

Everyone nodded and then sat down to eat.

Because of this incident, everyone paid special attention to the sounds outside. From time to time, there were people walking around outside, and there were also people who had eaten and were ordered to go home. It was very lively.

Princess Duan said: "There were many people who didn't want to watch the horse racing in the afternoon and left. If you haven't seen it, let's watch it for a while. If you don't like it, let's walk around." She remembered and asked, "Can Shen Zhao know how to ride a horse? "

Huo Chenzhao said: "I know a little bit."

"That's okay." Princess Duan smiled and said, "Then let's go on horseback, walk around, and go out to avoid poison. It's okay if Minglin Qilang doesn't do it. I'll ask someone to take you. I have a few villages in the suburbs. Let's pick the closest one. Stay one night and come back tomorrow.”

The poisons used to avoid poisons during the Dragon Boat Festival refer to real "poisons" such as snakes, scorpions, geckos, centipedes, and toads, as well as the plagues caused by the coming summer heat.

It is said to be to avoid poison, but in fact it is an outing, which is very popular in the capital. When May comes, it seems that if you don't go out for a trip, it is unlucky and you cannot avoid poison.

They finished their meal chatting and laughing, and then spread out their own small bamboo couch for Zhuzhuer to take her unbeatable nap.

The three of them sat in front of the window and watched the scenery. Princess Duan went out to ask the steward and came back and said, "It's strange that no one called the doctor, and the waiters didn't hear anyone injured."

This kind of thing has always happened. Since we couldn't find it for a while, everyone didn't pay much attention to it. They still sat and chatted until the second quarter of the day (13:30), when the horse racing started.

Everyone was quite excited at first, so they all lay at the window to watch.

But I didn't expect that the horse racing here is not just about being fast, but also about looking good.

The horse must walk straight and have a straight posture; the rider must be steady and the posture must be straight and stretched to win.

In the eyes of knowledgeable people, everyone is good-looking in their own way, but in the eyes of the middle school boys, it is not intense at all. In the words of the seventh prince, it is meaningless for girls to chirp, and Princess Duan simply recognizes the ones she sees. Talk about it, and you should also recognize the person.

There was a lot of noise outside, and Zhuzhu was woken up halfway through her sleep. She got up in a daze and rubbed her eyes.

Princess Duan smiled and said, "Hey, dear baby, are you awake?"

I went over to pick her up, and Tuanzi lay on her shoulders, dazed for a while.

There was a burst of cheers from below, Tuanzi was slightly excited, raised her head and looked out the window, then slowly woke up, fed her some water, and then moved to sit by the window, eating snacks while watching.

After just two bites, I saw a red figure appearing downstairs.
