Chapter 34 Milk
Rao Xiao Nan had listened to the Dawn Drum for more than ten years in her previous life. At this moment, she could not help admiring when she heard the 'dong dong' from far to near again—what is the prosperous Tang Dynasty?You don’t need to see any delicacies and costumes, and you don’t need to feel the flourishing style of writing. You only need to listen to the majestic and vigorous Dawn Drum, which is like waves, and you can feel the vitality and strong national power of this dynasty.

"County Master, are you awake?" Yuhan immediately turned over and sat up when she heard the slight sound in the room, asking in a low voice while putting on her clothes quietly.

She was on duty yesterday, and the county magistrate sympathized with her and did not let her sleep on the floor in the room, but let her place a low couch outside the screen. Although this low couch is narrow, it is far better than the footrest in front of the county magistrate's bed. many.The relatively comfortable low couch, and the fact that the county master didn't give her any orders at night, so that she temporarily relaxed her tense nerves, and fell into a deep sleep.

"Well, it's the first time to announce the dawn outside, right?!"

"Go back to the county master, it's two o'clock in the five o'clock. It's still early outside, do you want to sleep a little longer?"

"No, I still have to greet the old lady."

Xiao Nan just woke up, her voice was still a little hoarse, she lazily opened her eyes, stared at the lotus-colored curtain above her head in a daze for a while, when she came back to her senses, Yuhan and the others had already tidied up, Carrying all kinds of toiletries, they came to her bed one by one.

Yuhan took a step forward, helped Xiao Nan to sit up, handed him a cup of warm water, held the cup in one hand, and served Xiao Nan to drink.

Xiao Nan knew that this was the Cui family's way of keeping in good health, and it was said that the old lady first proposed it, saying that drinking a glass of warm water on an empty stomach after waking up would help cleanse the stomach.

After drinking the warm water in small sips, Xiao Nan washed himself up under the service of Yuzan, and then chose a skirt that he had matched yesterday from the double-layer hanger on the side, and then knelt and sat on the bed with his long hair loose. A few days later, Yulan, the most skillful of the four maids, combed her hair.

Yulan first gently massaged Xiao Nan's scalp with her soft fingertips, and slowly combed her long hair with her fingers. This process was very long. It was not until the second dawn drum sounded that Yulan stopped massaging, turned around and opened it a few times. From the mirror box next to it, I took out a white jade mirror stand and put it on the table, and then carefully took out a golden flat sunflower-shaped bronze mirror, put the bronze mirror on the mirror stand, and adjusted the angle so that Xiao Nan could see his own face clearly. makeup.

Then, Yulan took out a half-moon horn comb from the comb box at the bottom of the mirror box, and began to formally comb Xiao Nan's hair.Xiao Nan is pregnant now, and he told Yulan a long time ago that from now on, when she combs her hair, she doesn't need hair oil, and don't want too complicated styles, just a simple bun.

Even so, Yulan still took up most of the time in the morning combing her hair.

It wasn't until Xiao Nan beat the Dawn Drum for the third time that he finally finished dressing.

"County Lord, drink some milk. Now that you are pregnant with your child, it's time to replenish your body. But you don't like jujube tea. Fortunately, there is fresh milk at home..." Mother Qin brought a A cup of milk product, held it to Xiao Nan, persuaded: "Almonds have been added to the diet recipe you said, you can try it, and see if it still smells fishy?"

Xiao Nan took the jade bowl, and didn't drink it directly, but lowered his head and smelled it. After he didn't smell any strange smell, he picked up the spoon and took a sip.

Ok?No, there seems to be something wrong with the taste!

Xiao Nan's heart sank, he put down the spoon again, and spit out the milk residue in his mouth onto the handkerchief.

"What's the matter? It still smells?" Seeing Xiao Nan's complexion, Qin's mother thought she was too happy to eat these smelly dairy products, so she hurriedly asked with concern.

Xiao Nan shook his head, took the warm water from Yuzan, rinsed his mouth, spit out all the milk stains in his mouth, and asked: "Mother Qin, you said that this milk was sent by the old lady? Yulian checked Have you been?"

The Cui family is a family of nobles, and still retains certain habits from the Southern Dynasties, such as raising livestock in captivity, and eating them as family members.

In fact, it’s not just the Cui family. Many top families have their own eating habits. Although it’s a new dynasty and the Holy One advocates diligence and thrift, the lives of those powerful and nobles are still luxurious. Cows and sheep fed with top-quality herbs... Compared with this, the Cui family is considered thrifty, and only occasionally feeds some herbs to the cattle, sheep, and dolphins raised by the family.

"County Lord, do you mean this milk?" Qin's mother's complexion changed drastically, her tone trembled, and she said very worriedly.

"I remember that there was a record in the ancient food therapy book, which said that if the roots of aristolochia were fed to cattle and sheep, the cattle and sheep would be poisoned, but the poison was not very severe. In a short period of time, the poisoned cattle and sheep They don't die instantly, but their piss is poisonous, and if one drinks it—"

Xiao Nan paused, although she wasn't sure if the milk contained aristolochia poison, but she was in a special situation and had to guard against it.

After hearing Xiao Nan's words, Qin's mother became angry and angry, stood up swiftly, and came outside the hall, "Go, call Yulian."

After a while, Yulian hurried in, her body still smelled of food and seasonings, she bowed to Xiao Nan, and took a sneak peek at Xiao Nan's complexion, she didn't find anything unusual, so it was a long time Breathe a sigh of relief.

"Yulian, have you checked this milk? Have you found any problems?" When Xiao Nan thought that the bowl might be poisoned, she couldn't keep her composure, and asked Xiang Yulan in a more tone bad.

"Milk? County lord, this milk slave has been inspected, there is no problem—wait a minute," Yulian seemed to have thought of something, she looked down at the bowl of dairy products, and took out a silver needle from the purse at her waist , inserted it directly into the bowl, and after a while, she took out the silver needle, looked carefully at the window, and finally said with an extremely ugly face: "The county lord, you are careless, and you were deceived by the milkman." go……"

It turned out that ever since Xiao Nan handed over the small kitchen to Yu Lian, Yu Lian had carefully inspected every food she gave to Xiao Nan.But this morning, Mother Qiu in the old lady's yard sent someone to deliver the milk, saying that it had been prepared in the old lady's kitchen, and brought it to the county magistrate while it was still hot.Yulian wanted to check first, so the visitor was obedient, and took a pair of silver chopsticks with a smile and tried it in front of Yulian's interview, but there was no problem.

Seeing this, Yulian couldn't try it again with her own silver needle, because doing so would be too disrespectful to the old lady.

But she really didn't expect that she was negligent this time and almost killed the county magistrate.Although the poison detected by the silver needle is not serious, but Xiao Nan is pregnant now, if he is a little careless, the adults may be able to survive, but what about the fetus in the womb? !
Xiao Nan let out a long breath, but she couldn't calm down the anger in her chest. She really couldn't figure out who was planning to kill her.

Koyanagi?Or Mu Jin's confidant left behind in Cui's family?
