The first-level Zhaohua Thousand-level Hall

Chapter 140
Lang Wei came back from the next door over the wall in the evening. He was carrying a food box in his left hand and a small package in his right hand. There was a full smile on the corner of his mouth, he was satisfied and happy no matter how he looked.

Walking briskly around the flower trees and going to his own yard, Lang Wei paused: "Brother?"

He looked in surprise at the person who had been standing under the tree for an unknown amount of time. There were already many fallen leaves on his shoulders.

First I was surprised, and then I felt a little embarrassed, jumping over the wall without going through the gate or something.

"Serena."

Lang Sheng turned his head to look at him, and also saw something in his hands that he didn't have when he went out, and waved, Lang Wei forgot that bit of embarrassment, and rushed to his elder brother in a few steps.

"Did you enjoy playing with your sister Xu?"

Lang Sheng's big hand landed on Lang Wei's head, rubbed it lightly, and asked softly.

"Brother, I didn't just play in the past? I used to help, and I helped a lot."

Langwei emphasized with a little dissatisfaction that when facing close people, the little calmness that was so easy to experience outside became childish again.

Lang Sheng listened to Lang Wei rambling about how he and Xu Qingluo were sorting and drying the books together, and helped her tidy up: "I even made cakes with Sister Xu, brother, hey, this is for me and Sister Xu Craftsmanship, let me try it."

Lang Wei opened his baby's food box, and there were some strange-looking white pastries inside. It seemed that Lang Wei also made a move.

"Hey, you don't look very good. There are goat's milk, honey, and sweet-scented osmanthus in it. It's delicious. It doesn't smell fishy at all."

Lang Wei picked up a piece of pastry and handed it to Lang Sheng, his eyes were bright with anticipation.

Lang Cheng bit it down, it was sweet, with sweet-scented osmanthus, and a mellow milky scent, and it really didn't have the slightest fishy smell. Pastry, and slowly gave birth to a little bit of sweetness.

The sweetness born from the bottom of his heart neutralized the bitterness that he couldn't resolve.

"Brother, isn't it delicious? Sister Xu is really amazing. She can do everything. It's great that she lives so close to our house in the capital. In the future, I will be able to eat pastries made by Sister Xu from time to time."

Langwei smiled brightly.

Lang Sheng patted him on the head lightly: "It's not that Luo'er came to the capital without serious business, not to mention she just arrived in the capital and hasn't settled down completely yet, so don't bother her for the time being."

"I know, I know, big brother, you love sister Xu. If you feel sorry, you can marry sister Xu home early, won't it be enough?"

Lang Wei couldn't help but suggested.

In his heart, the most respected elder brother should be with his favorite sister Xu, and all other messy women should retreat quickly.

"If I marry her, can I really bring her happiness?"

Lang Sheng said suddenly, his voice was light, but there was some unspeakable bitterness in it, even the sweetness brought by the pastry just now retreated: "Mother, I don't like her, if I marry her." It won't bring her happiness What should I do, what if I can't make her happy?
Today's mother-in-law's performance completely wiped out all the luck in Langcheng's heart. It's not that Langcheng has never heard of the problems between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law since ancient times, but he didn't expect that he had to face it so early.

"Mother doesn't like Sister Xu, brother, don't you dare to marry Sister Xu? Brother, are you going to leave Sister Xu? Brother, if you don't like Sister Xu, if you dare not marry her, I will help her find a good one." Man, there are so many men in the capital, there are always good men waiting to marry Sister Xu! If it doesn’t work out, there is no reliable one, I will marry Sister Xu, and I will let Sister Xu wait for me to grow up!”

As soon as Lang Sheng's words came out of his mouth, Lang Wei jumped up. He was out of breath, and stared at Lang Cheng, as if he didn't know his elder brother. He first yelled a declaration, and then showed a disappointed expression: "Brother , did not expect you to be such a cowardly person, just because of mother, you will retreat!"

The disappointment in his eyes was undisguised: "Brother, I am very disappointed in you, you are not worthy of Sister Xu!"

Lang Wei has never yelled at Lang Cheng so loudly before. He is cowardly. In the past, Lang Sheng always said what he said. Even if he is good at martial arts, should he be led by the nose or be led by the nose Where is the courage and rebellion now.

With a sound of "Pa!", Lang Sheng slapped Lang Wei on the head, and held down the young boy who was about to jump into the sky. ?Say it again!"

Lang Wei had been suppressed by Lang Cheng's authority for a long time, and just now he dared to say such a thing with all his might. At this moment, facing Lang Cheng's threatening eyes, he opened his mouth, lowered his eyes embarrassingly, and muttered: "I There is nothing wrong with what you said. Isn’t it because of your mother that you want to let down sister Xu? I don’t want sister Xu to be sad in the future. It’s better to find a better candidate as soon as possible, although you are very important in my heart. Great, but in Sister Xu's heart, there may be a better choice."

Lang Sheng felt that the bewilderment and helplessness about the future that had arisen in his heart due to his mother's strong opposition dissipated completely. He stared at his bold little brother and gritted his teeth: "I'm sorry to disappoint you, Luo'er. Apart from being my wife in this life, no one will have such a relationship with her again!"

After saying these words decisively, Lang Cheng turned around and left. He was so stupid. He clearly thought about his mother's objection and insisted on it. Obviously Xu Qingluo also said that he was willing to work hard with him. Xu Qingluo is the only one in his heart. The relationship between him and Xu Qingluo has already been broken, and he doesn't want to break it. If this is the case, let's work hard.

He is a general, a general who goes forward bravely on the battlefield, not a coward who retreats before fighting!
Looking at Lang Sheng's firm back, Lang Wei smiled very proudly, this is the big brother he admired, he opened his mouth, not minding attracting people, and shouted: "Brother, I believe in you! "

I believe that you will marry Sister Xu, and I believe that you will be able to give Sister Xu a happy and joyful future. I believe in you more than anyone else.

Lang Sheng raised his hand with his back to Lang Wei and waved, responding to Lang Wei's shout.

The little boy turned around and wanted to take the thing he had just put on the ground, his eyes widened. After a long while, a miserable cry came from the backyard: "Ah, my pastry!"

Lang Sheng was sitting in front of the desk, sipping cakes and tea, looking very contented.

The sweetness of milk is filled in the mouth, and the taste is really very good.

There was a sudden knock on the door, and the smile on Lang Sheng's face stopped: "Who?"

"Cousin, it's me. My aunt is thinking of you staying up late at night to approve official documents, and let me make some soup for you to replenish your body. Cousin, can you open the door? It's cold outside."

Huang Yiyi's delicate voice came from outside, and when the night wind blew, the voice was a bit fragmented, with a lingering taste, especially the word "cousin", which was especially affectionate.

Lang Cheng frowned: "It's so late, I don't want to drink any soup, go to bed, I'm going to rest."

If being close to Huang Yiyi was optional in the past, today Huang Yiyi first bumped into his arms on purpose at the pier, and later she slandered Xu Qingluo in front of her mother. Lang Sheng had no patience for her. At least I'm not interested in letting people in in the middle of the night.

Although the clear is clear and the turbid is turbid, the most important thing is to stand upright and not give people any room for reverie from the beginning.

Lang Sheng thought about this very clearly, otherwise, after getting along with Xu Qingluo for a few days, he would not have directly said something that he would be responsible for considering the girl's reputation. Of course, the most important thing is that he himself was moved. However, Lang Sheng was far less able to see this point clearly than Xu Qingluo. Men's emotions are often not as delicate and clear as women's.

"Cousin, I boiled that ginseng soup for three hours."

Huang Yiyi's voice was full of grievances: "I accidentally burned my fingers."

Lang Sheng's defense of Xu Qingluo was too firm, and he even did not hesitate to talk to Lang Mu like that for this reason. Huang Yiyi, who originally thought that she could just please Lang Mu alone, after thinking about it for a while, finally decided to take the initiative.

It's a pity that Lang Sheng had no interest in her initiative, he directly blew out the lights, didn't even leave the door of the study, and directly gave Huang Yiyi a stern shut.

Huang Yiyi looked at the dark study room, clenched her teeth, and felt the veins in her forehead throbbing.

After a long time, the door of the study room was still tightly closed to her. Huang Yiyi tried to go in directly, stretched out her hand and pushed twice, and the inside was closed.

"Cousin, you are really too much! I am just kind."

His face was distorted with hatred, and the voice of aggrieved Jiaojiao was still in his mouth. He stomped his feet, turned and walked towards Langmu's yard.

-

Naturally, Xu Qingluo didn't know what happened in the Lang Mansion, nor did he know the hesitation in Lang Cheng's heart and the sincerity picked out by Lang Wei, and he didn't know that Huang Yiyi had increased his strength on Lang Sheng.

But even if we let her know, she won't worry. To put it bluntly, Lang Sheng was able to withstand the pressure of Lang mother's pressure in her previous life. She married her and treated her wholeheartedly. Now she is very sure that she is in Lang Cheng. The status in Sheng's heart will only increase but not decrease. Could it be that he will be worse in this life than in the previous life?

Xu Qingluo understands the difference between a life of careful management and a life of constant death.

She is not worried about Langmu's affairs now, Huang Yiyi is nothing to worry about, that woman obviously values ​​Lang Sheng's status more, as long as she uses some means to make Langmu see Huang Yiyi's nature clearly, and if she is a niece of her mother's family, the favorability will be increased It will also drop by more than half.

What Xu Qingluo is more concerned about now is going to the Imperial Hospital to register and report the tribute after entering Beijing.

After sending Langwei away, Xu Qingluo went directly to the study room, prepared his pen and ink, sat down, and decided on a suitable tribute pill. This medicine must not be easily used by those who are interested in it. Well, it is not easy to conflict with other drugs. In short, safety is the top priority, and it is best to be cautious.

The water in the imperial palace is too deep, and in the harem, let alone the maids, eunuchs, concubines, guards, and imperial physicians, the lives of those serving people are not guaranteed. If someone is accidentally involved in the harem and loses their life, it is the princess. In the history, many princes fell into the shady hands of the harem. What's more, the life of the emperor was not so safe.

As for these private matters, the most indispensable part is the medicine, the medicine prescribed by the imperial hospital, and the medicine brought into the palace by the people around the concubine. If Xu Qingluo hadn't been so skilled in medicine in his previous life, Those who have died long ago cannot die again.

She didn't die, but she had experienced too much time and time again, so she had to guard against it.

There was a knock on the door: "Luo'er, are you still asleep?"

It's Xu Liang.

He and Xu's mother experienced a turmoil in the Hu family in Wuzhou City. Although there was a rift and pain, but after the matter was settled, he also recognized the selfish and vicious face of Xu's old lady, and felt a lot less regretful. Mother Xu took the pill made by Xu Qingluo together, and she became younger and more energetic.

The door of the study was opened, Xu Liang was standing at the door holding a food box in his hand, Xu Qingluo felt a lot better when he saw Xu Liang's face that didn't look old at all: "Father, didn't you sleep too? "

"My precious daughter reads at night here by the lamp, how can I fall asleep?"

As Xu Liang said, he went into the study and put down the food box in his hand, and opened it. Inside were several steaming dishes of side dishes, white porridge, and a bowl of small ravioli lit with green color: "No matter what you do, it's not as important as eating. , If the body is starved to death, then it is really worthless."

"Father, don't worry, I pay more attention to taking care of my body than anyone else, and I want to take care of my parents so that you and mother can watch me marry and have a happy life."

"If only you were so self-conscious."

Xu Liang couldn't help but said.

Xu Qingluo put on a greedy look: "Father, this little wonton smells so good, who is such a good crafter?"

Want to change the subject.

"It's your father and I who cook in person. Besides Baicao, your mother is accompanied by a girl. The others are big men. Do you want your mother to know that you haven't eaten yet?"

"Daddy's craftsmanship is better than mine. Daddy, you are really the best daddy in the world."

Xu Qingluo swallowed a small wonton in one gulp, and even stretched out his other hand and raised his thumb.

Xu Liang smiled and sighed, looking at the bruises under the corners of Xu Qingluo's eyes: "Sometimes I really don't know whether it is good or bad to raise you better than a man."

Although he didn't read what Xu Qingluo wrote, in fact, he couldn't guess what Xu Qingluo was busy with.

Xu's mother has little experience, and she doesn't know how risky it is to pay tribute to the palace, such as pills and medicinal materials. What she cares most about now is her daughter and Lang Sheng. As long as her daughter's marriage is settled, she has nothing to worry about. .

As for Xu Liang, even though he has only practiced medicine in a few places, even if he is loyal to the emperor, he still has his own judgment and knows the danger after all.

"Daddy can raise me better than men, it is definitely a great thing, because now I am confident that I am not inferior to men, so I am very happy, because I am now confident that I have the ability to protect my home, so I am very happy, if I'm just one of those little girls who are content with getting married and having children in deep boudoirs, if I can only look at the dangers at home and see the people I care about need help but can't do anything, then I will be really miserable."

Xu Qingluo put down the spoon in his hand and looked at Xu Liang with firm eyes.

The self in her previous life who only had her own love and was so stupid that she could only watch the people she loved leave one by one, she never wanted to experience it again.

"You, there are always so many reasons."

Xu Liang couldn't help touching his daughter's head, picked up the pen on the table, and dipped the ink: "You want to work hard to protect the people you care about, so your father and I don't even have a boss who can't even come up with a prescription Bar?"

As he was talking, he took out a brand new piece of white paper and added a few pills on it: "I don't know about the taboos in the palace, but generally speaking, it's best to have merit without fault. That's right, the medicinal materials used are also some warming and tonic medicinal materials without too heavy medicinal properties."

"This pill contains sheep's holly grass, which is generally unfavorable to pregnant women like saffron. It is best not to pay tribute."

While writing his own, Xu Liang compared Xu Qingluo's, occasionally pointing out a few key points.

Although Xu Qingluo didn't say it directly, he always felt that his medical skills were better than blue, but now looking at Xu Liang's prescription taboos, he suddenly realized that he was really arrogant in the past, let alone a The Nangong Mo who suddenly appeared was the father who had been by her side to teach for many years, she was actually underestimated, and she forgot that if her father really didn't have his own strengths, how could so many people respect him?
Compared with Xu Qingluo who is good at poisons and likes to use strong medicines, what Xu Liang is better at is the kind of warming and infallible medicine that is suitable for the palace.

The two father and daughter discussed and studied the prescriptions in the study until midnight, but they didn't know that there were people in the palace who were thinking about the Xu family.

-

"I heard that the Xu family has entered Beijing?"

Concubine Xian lightly brushed the tea leaves in the cup with the lid, the green leaves unfolded in an elegant posture, and a faint fragrance lingered in her nose.

She took a deep breath as if intoxicated, and her beautiful face became even more beautiful.

It's just that the lights flashed, and thin lines appeared in the corners of his eyes in a trance.

"I would like to inform you, Madam, that General Lang personally went to pick up the Xu family's boat at the pier in the western suburbs. It is said that he also acted as a driver to drive the Xu family and placed the Xu family next door to the general's mansion."

The maid with her head bowed did not dare to look at Concubine Xian, and whispered the news from outside the palace.

"Oh, the general who follows the woman's skirt, it's fortunate that His Majesty still uses such a person."

Concubine Xian said a word full of sarcasm, took a sip of the extremely good tea in her hand, and put it on the table beside her.

With a ding, the lower head and the maid beside her shivered.

"Go on, let the people below continue to keep an eye on the Xu family and the general's mansion, and remember to report to me if there is any movement."

After waiting for a long time for such a sentence, the court lady who thought that Concubine Xian would get angry exhaled carefully, as if she had escaped for her life, her drooping face was full of survivors, she stepped back carefully .

"Your Majesty, what are your plans? Do you need to go to the Tai Hospital to say hello?"

The confidant next to Concubine Xian knew her master's disposition well. Hearing that the Xu family didn't get angry, she must have other thoughts in her heart. She thought about it and asked tentatively in a low voice.

"How do you say hello to the Imperial Hospital? As long as the Xu family's tribute medicinal materials are good, there is no need for the Imperial Hospital to embarrass them. If they are bad, the Imperial Hospital will naturally deal with them impartially. It's just that I remember that some time ago, General Lang was rescued by accident. Is it the Princess Xinghe that the empress gave birth to? I heard that Princess Xinghe admires General Lang so much that she even wants to keep him by her side as a bodyguard."

Concubine Xian's eyes were full of coldness, and when she mentioned the word close to her, she was deliberately ambiguous: "Go, tell Princess Xinghe how much General Lang cares about the Xu family, especially the girl from the Xu family today. , You can also tell the princess about General Lang's unique maintenance of Wuzhou City."

Concubine Xian's words came out, and the confidant maid next to her shuddered subconsciously. Princess Xinghe is a magic star that everyone in the palace fears. Princess Xinghe is the queen's daughter and the prince's sister. , is the emperor's only direct daughter, and naturally she is a noble one. At the beginning, she was more favored by the emperor than the prince, but she was violent and vicious since she was a child, and she often executed the maids and eunuchs around her, and her methods were cruel. Because she scratched the face of one of the emperor's favorite concubines, she was sent out of the palace by the emperor to concentrate on meditation. She went there for ten years. Some time ago, the empress didn't know what to tell the emperor, but she let Princess Xinghe come back. When Princess Xinghe returned to the palace, she encountered family members who had been beaten to death to assassinate her. She almost died. If Lang Sheng hadn't been sent by the emperor to guard her, she might have returned as a dead princess.

During the days when Mr. Xinghe came back, there were too many corpses carried out from the Queen's Palace. The death conditions were miserable. It is said that they were all played to death by Princess Xinghe when he was bored. The Queen's Palace screamed every day. Absolutely, everyone in the palace now regards the queen's palace as the Hell of Hell, a terrifying place that enters vertically and exits horizontally.

Such a woman showed affection for Lang Sheng, but was rejected. Sending news of the Xu family to her was like sending someone to die, or a tragic death.

The maid's face was terribly pale, and her fingers were trembling a little. She felt a chill on her neck when she thought of going into the Queen's Palace to find Princess Xinghe, but she didn't dare to say anything under the eyes of Concubine Xian, and said in her mouth: "Don't worry, Madam, servant girl I will definitely let Her Royal Highness know clearly."

While speaking, Xiaobu exited outwards.

Concubine Xian looked at the back of the maid and sneered, "Xu Qingluo, the last thing you should do is to know the secrets of this palace. In Wuzhou City, this palace has nothing to do with you. When you arrive in this imperial city, this palace will let you die." No place to die!

The woman's beautiful face was twisted ferociously, which was extremely terrifying.

At that moment, she seemed to be possessed by something terrible, so strange.

Behind the heavy curtain, a pair of black eyes widened, and a small hand covered his mouth. The Ninth Prince clenched his teeth and did not let himself speak. There was only one thought in his heart, he must let the only one who protected him treat him sincerely. My own daughter knows, knows the calculations of the mother and concubine!
