Daughter's Poisoned Wife

Chapter 60
Because someone in the mansion poisoned him several times, Mammy Liao was extremely vigilant. The access control of Xi Yuxuan's small kitchen was extremely strict. Except for Mammy Liao and Yangmei, no one else was allowed to enter. As long as Mammy Liao was not in the small kitchen, she would definitely Lock the small kitchen tightly with a big brass lock.This action of hers made the other maids in Xi Yuxuan say so many harsh words behind their backs.Originally, when Xi Yuxuan first set up the small kitchen, many of the servants thought that they could follow Zhanguang or work as errands in the small kitchen. There was no chance at all, and complaints spread among Xi Yuxuan's servants.

Du Heng had already decided on the method of making Nine Leaves and One Branch Lotus, and he felt relieved as if he had let go of a big stone. So when Yangmei brought the decoction again, Du Heng happily drank the decoction.As soon as she finished taking the medicine, Nanny Liao walked in quickly.

When Du Heng saw Mammy Liao coming, he hurriedly said: "Mommy, quickly give Yang Mei 100 taels of silver, and ask her to give it to Yang Hu to buy wine."

Nanny Liao responded, first opened the box and gave Yang Mei the banknote, and after Yang Mei went out to deliver the silver, Nanny Liao came to Du Heng's side, knelt down and said, "Girl, this old servant has something to say."

Du Heng hurriedly pulled Mammy Liao and said: "Mammy just say what you have to say, why don't you kneel down properly?"

Momo Liao shook her head and said, "Girl, what this old slave said is not pleasant, you'd better let this old slave speak on his knees."

Du Heng thought for a while, then said softly: "Mammy wants to say that money is spent too much these days? If so, mammy should stand up and talk slowly, I won't be angry."

Nanny Liao stood up slowly, frowned and asked, "Miss knows that this old slave wants to talk about this?"

Du Heng said indifferently: "Just now Mammy opened the box to get the silver, your eyebrows are almost knotted, I was brought up by Mammy, how can I not know Mammy's thoughts."

Nanny Liao nodded repeatedly: "Exactly, this old slave is worried about this matter, girl, the old saying is that you can eat nothing, even though you have a shop now, the annual income is at most three to five thousand taels, but you can spend as much as you do now. I'm afraid I can't afford to spend tens of thousands of taels of silver a year, and I can't even afford to pay off this shortfall!"

Du Heng couldn't help being shocked when he heard Mammy Liao's calculation. She hurriedly said, "Mommy, I won't spend money like this all the time. Mammy, you know I've wanted to buy those medicinal materials for a long time."

Nanny Liao nodded and said, "Young lady, I understand what you think, but the days are still long, miss, don't be in a hurry, the medicinal materials you bought these two times are enough for a while."

Du Heng thought for a while before saying: "That's what Mammy said. How about it, Mammy, I spent the money on wine in the first half of the year, and I promise I won't spend it indiscriminately again?"

Aunt Liao loves Du Heng very much, she doesn't want to see her girl suffer any grievances, hearing what the girl said is pitiful, Aunt Liao immediately softened her heart, she quickly smiled and said: "Miss, don't say that, now you still have 400 Two taels of silver, how about taking 1000 taels to buy a Zhuangzi, which will be promising for a long time, and keep 400 taels for your expenses?"

Du Heng immediately nodded and said, "Okay, let's do it like this!"

Seeing the girl's bright eyes, Mammy Liao suddenly felt that as long as the girl was happy, she could spend money.She tried to find a way to earn more money.

On the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the people in the capital are immersed in the excitement and joy of the festival. The emperor has long issued an imperial decree to enjoy the moon lanterns with the people in Wufeng Building on the fifteenth night of the first lunar month, and from the fourteenth day of the first month to the first month On the [-]th, the curfew will be lifted for the three nights, and the common people can celebrate the Lantern Festival all night long.

From the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, as soon as it got dark, the people in the capital all dressed up early and flocked out of their homes to go shopping and enjoy the lanterns. If they were lucky enough, they might be able to catch a glimpse of the emperor, queen, prince, princess, prince, and concubine from a distance.For ordinary people, the royal family is always full of incomparable mystery.

On the night of the [-]th day of the first lunar month, today, I will lead the princes, princes and other civil and military officials of the fourth rank and above to go up to the Wufeng Tower to have fun with the people. Du Dahai, who is the second rank Jianwei general, will naturally accompany the king.The current Emperor Wuzong, Xiao Deguang, is in his prime of life, and has always had the ambition to expand the frontier and land, and vowed to let Daliang Weijia and all nations in the world come to the court.Internally, Wu Zong inherited the teachings of his ancestors, and pursued the national policy of sacrificing corvees and hiding wealth for the people. Externally, Wu Zong was iron-blooded and iron-fisted. Any enemy who dared to invade, even if it was thousands of miles away, would be punished with iron cavalry.

The night is getting darker, the moon in the sky is like a bright jade plate, and the lanterns of various colors are hung on the market in the world like stars, so that people who watch the lanterns can hardly distinguish whether they are watching the lanterns in the sky or admiring the moon in the world.It is really rare to see the beautiful scenery on such a good day, and the monarchs, ministers and people are all immersed in this indescribable beauty.

Suddenly, there was a rush of hoofbeats accompanied by a hoarse shout: "Get out of the way... get out of the way...report... [-] Li urgently..."

There were so many people watching the lanterns and the moon in the street market, not to mention riding horses, even walking was very crowded, so even though the shouts were louder and louder, he was still blocked by the dense crowd of people.The commotion in the market downstairs caught Wu Zong's attention, and he immediately asked the eunuch beside him, "What happened down there? Order someone to go down and have a look."

The eunuch listened intently for a moment, then quickly whispered to Wu Zong: "Go back to the emperor, there are eight hundred miles to hurry!"

"Hurry up at [-] miles? Hurry up, Wynn, get the booklet." Emperor Wu Zong immediately frowned when he heard that [-] miles was in a hurry, and ordered in a deep voice. He knew that if there were no big things, there would be no more officials In the first month, sending documents in an expedited way of [-] miles, something must have happened.

The eunuch who reported just now responded, and he jumped off the top of the Wufeng Tower, his arms stretched like a falcon, and he flew across the air. The place where the postmen are located a hundred feet away.The chief eunuch Huai En grabbed the postman's belt, lifted him up horizontally, and then jumped towards Wufenglou.Although he was holding a postman in his hand, Wynn's speed was not affected much, but after a cup of tea, he flew back and forth, and brought the postman who was still in shock to Wu Zong.

The poor postman was tired, hungry, frightened and terrified. After seeing Wu Zong, he passed out without even saying a word.Wu Zong frowned and said in a deep voice, "Wynn, take down the pond newspaper."

Wynn responded, and rudely tore off the postman's coat, tore off a four-inch-wide interleaved leather belt tied around his waist, and took apart the interlayer of the leather belt. Sure enough, there was a pond sealed with wax paint inside. Wynn saw that the wax seal on the pond newspaper was the seal of the Xuanfu envoy of Beizhen, and he couldn't help but groaned inwardly, "No!"He hurriedly presented the pond report to Wu Zong.
