The oath of rebirth not to be a concubine

Chapter 82 You are sick!
Standing on the city wall for a while, until the hands and feet were icy cold from the wind, he wrapped himself in a brocade tent and walked away slowly.

"Miss, you haven't eaten all day. In the restaurant in front of you, there is your favorite roast duck. Let's go home after dinner." Seeing that I had been silent, Lu Zhu probed in a low voice.

After she mentioned it, I realized that I was hungry, so I nodded in response.First, I went to buy a men's suit to change into. After applying the Eighth Prince's medicine, there was a little scar on my forehead, but there were still large red marks left, so I had to buy another hat and put it on.

After tidying up, Xin walked to the restaurant, ordered delicacies, and ate slowly.

For this meal, I ate extremely slowly, and I didn't pay until the end of time.

The autumn wind was blowing, and the lanterns on both sides of the busy city were swaying. I suddenly remembered the lantern riddle that day.

"Hey! Young Master, you are here." Xiaoer greeted me from a distance, nodded and bowed to welcome me into the store, and then said regretfully, "Guest officer, why did you come, the guest officer who was out of the couplet came yesterday , We waited from Shenshi to closing time."

I said, "I had something to do yesterday and I couldn't get away, but he came today? I'll go upstairs to see him now."

Xiao Er shook his head and said, "Hey, young master, you are late. The guest waited until about midnight yesterday, and then left. This morning he sent someone to send a message, saying that there was something at home and he couldn't stay for long. He also said that the two of you are very destined, and you will definitely meet again in the future."

Luzhu said, "It's easy to say, there are so many people, where will we meet?"

The little one also nodded, and echoed, "Who says it's not, but the little one thinks that you and that subject may have some fate, isn't the little one also in the vast crowd, you can see the young master at a glance, maybe in the future it will be We can meet again."

"Maybe." I smiled.

"Hey, that's right." Xiao Er patted his head and said, wait a minute, objectively, then ran away a few steps, and came back with a box after a while, "Master, this is the objective person The ones left behind are said to be opened by you when the Young Master arrives."

This is an exquisite wooden box with carved patterns on both sides and an eight-treasure lock in the middle.

I opened the lock, and there was a ten thousand gold redemption ticket from Tongbao Bank, and a small rectangular piece of gold leaf.

A few leaves of pine and bamboo are carved on the back of the gold foil, and two lines of words are engraved in the thin willow body on the front: There is no phase inside, no general outside, I have to destroy the jade to win the general, what will happen in the future.The sky is difficult, the earth is difficult to measure, but it doesn't matter if you have the measure of an emperor in your chest.

This is the lantern couplet that I blurted out once, and that person has carved it into gold leaf.

From this point of view, the man probably thought the last graffiti couplet was right, the reason why he really wanted to see me must be this pair of lantern couplets.

This is interesting.

I smiled slightly, handed the box to Lu Zhu, and asked, "That man, do you have anything else to pass on to you?"

Xiao Er shook his head, "There is no son, the guest officer doesn't seem to like to talk, the little one changed the tea for him, and asked him if he wanted to change the tea, he almost just nodded or shook his head, and the person who brought the box only said so A few words."

I nodded and let Lvzhu reward me with a piece of silver, and then I went out the door. Xiao Er thanked me a lot, his face became a flower, he watched me from afar at the door, and called the guest officer, you often come.

I walked out of the teahouse and walked for a while. I wanted to go back to the General's Mansion along the path, but Luzhu suddenly called me, "Young master."

I turned around and asked "what's wrong?"

Lu Zhu hugged the box tightly and said, "Miss, why don't we go on the road."

She looked timid and worried.The first few times she walked the path, she was met by a thief once, and she was almost killed the other time. She seemed to be in the shadows.

That's right, holding a box is too eye-catching. I looked around and saw a big bank not far away, so I led Luzhu to walk.As soon as he entered the bank, he heard a noise, and then a man was pushed out from inside.

"Hey, we are a bank, not a place where you go to the rivers and lakes to sell medicine, young man. Hurry up, let's go."

The pusher was an old man, wearing a robe of copper coins and wealth, he looked very benevolent, although he was pushing the person out, and his words were slightly unfriendly, but his hands were not rude, he was almost half-supporting and half-coaxing the person to hug him come out.

The man being pushed was wearing a coarse cloth shirt, pulled a Lun scarf, wore a slanted straw hat, and held a medium-sized gourd in his hand. ill!"

The old man seemed a little annoyed, he shook his head and said, "Let's have it, I won't treat it if you are sick, young man, go to another house to see, maybe they still want to treat it!"

The man was a little reconciled, and hurriedly said, "If you need money to cure a disease, you can buy me a pair of elixirs for ten taels of silver, boil seven bowls of water into a bowl, and you will be cured in three days!"

"Let's go, let's go, there is no water or medicine pot in the bank, and we can't cook medicine." The old man was really annoyed this time.

"Puff..." The conversation between the two of them was interesting, and Lu Zhu couldn't hold back, and burst out laughing.

Seeing someone next to him, the old man stopped pushing him, and said, "Young man, stop making trouble, go to another house, I am here for business." Please."

I nodded, and just about to go in, the man blocked the way with one step, and stared straight at me with a pair of black eyes.

"Hey young man, don't make trouble anymore. This is two taels of silver. Take it and go quickly, don't scare the distinguished guests." The old man gave him the silver, but he didn't take it, just looked at me.

There was no other way, so the old man had no choice but to make a detour and lead me into the room, "Young master, is it deposit or withdrawal?"

I motioned to Lu Zhu to hand over the gold ticket, and said, "I don't save it, and I don't want to marry. I want to exchange the gold ticket for a silver ticket. I wonder if it can be exchanged?"

The old man took the gold ticket, first verified it, and after verifying its authenticity, he hurriedly asked someone to make tea for me, and then said, "Yes, yes, of course it is possible, but there is not much money in Yinzhuang these days." , I don’t have so many bank notes for the time being, can the young master wait for a while and let the old man go to another house to get some?”

I nodded, "Of course I can."

In Xiqi, one tael of gold can be exchanged for 11 taels of silver, and ten thousand taels of gold can be exchanged for silver bills.

"Okay, okay, this old man will order someone to change it." After finishing speaking, he called the boy, and while he was talking, the boy ran out in a hurry.

At this time, the tea has been brought, I took a sip casually, curious in my heart, and asked, "Shopkeeper, was that the doctor just now? Why did you have to treat your illness?"

The old man smiled helplessly, and said, "Who knows who he is? Half an hour ago, when he was walking at the gate of the bank, he kept staring at the old man. Seeing his plain clothes, the old man thought he was embarrassed to beg for water. , called him in and made him a pot of jasmine tea."

"Who would have thought that after drinking the tea, this young man would suddenly say that the old man is already sick to his skin, and he will be afraid of death if he dies. Whatever he says, the old man will buy him a pair of elixir with ten taels of silver."

The old man has lived for 50 years, basically never got sick, can eat and sleep, how could it be as he said.Then he explained it nicely for a long time, but he just didn't want to buy it, so he insisted on buying his elixir.I had no choice but to push him out, which made the young master laugh. "

I smiled, the old man's face was full of red, he really didn't look like he was sick, that man was probably a charlatan, poor and down, looking at the old man's kind face, I wanted to scare him.

The tea in Qianzhuang was good, I drank almost a cup slowly, and the young man came back with a bag of things.The shopkeeper quickly came over, fetched the abacus and did the calculations. After checking the face value, he handed over the bank notes to me.

It is not easy to exchange a gold bill for a large number of silver bills. It happened that this bank could store and exchange them, so I deposited the large-denomination bills in the bank, took some small-denomination bills with me, and exchanged some broken silver.

The autumn night came quickly, and when I walked out of the bank, it was already dark.What is strange is that the boy with the straw hat is still waiting at the door.

He leaned against the wall with his shoulders folded, and when he saw me coming out, he straightened up and looked straight over.Although the eyes were harmless, I didn't want to get entangled anymore, so I called Lu Zhu and left.

"Wait." He suddenly stopped me.

"But something?" I hesitated, then turned around and asked.

He came over, stood half a meter away, looked at me carefully for a long time and then said, "You are sick!"

"You are the only one who is sick, and your whole family is sick." Lu Zhu was unwilling and gave him a hard look.

The young man ignored it, but said to me very seriously, "You are really sick."

I was amused by him, and said, "Then tell me, where is my illness?"

He stared at me carefully, finally shook his head, and said, "I can't see it yet. It seems to be poisoned by a slow-growing poison,"

"Is it true that you need to spend ten taels of silver to buy you a pair of elixir, boil seven bowls of water into one bowl, and drink it for three days?" Luzhu said nonchalantly.

The man shook his head, handed me a pill, and said, "The old man in the house will get a serious illness within seven days, and he will die in less than ten days. If he takes this pill in boiled water, he can survive for a few days. Nian Yangshou. If he doesn't believe me, I hope you will."

I looked at him carefully and saw that his eyes were clear, he didn't seem to be boasting, so I hesitated for a moment before taking the pill.

He nodded and asked, "Have you always had night dreams recently? Dry mouth and upset?"

I shook my head.

He asked again, "Then do you feel a burning pain in the center of your brow?"

I also shook my head.

"Strange." He frowned, then took out a red porcelain bottle from his cuff, and handed it to me, "I can't see what kind of poison it is at the moment, you take this thing, and from then on, take it every six months. If you are safe within five years, if there is any poison, you will come and find me."

I heard it funny, and said, "Five years later, if I really have something to do, where should I go to find you?"

He also smiled, "After five years, you will find a way to find me."

I laughed and asked again, "Is this bottle of medicine also ten taels of silver?"

"How can my medicine be only worth ten taels? You can take it first, and you will have a chance to pay for the money."

After finishing speaking, he pulled up his hat and put it on, turned around and walked into the downtown area. After a while, he disappeared.

"Miss, this person is so strange. Could this medicine be fake?"

I unscrewed the cork of the red bottle, sniffed it lightly, and a strange medicinal fragrance came out, which made people feel very comfortable.After a little hesitation, he finally stuffed it into his arms.

"Lu Zhu, ask Chu Qi to pay attention to the owner of this bank in the past two days. If there is anything wrong with him, please let me know immediately."

"Yes." Green Pearl replied.The two of us went back to the general's mansion.

As I was walking, I realized that something was wrong. There was a horse-drawn carriage slowly following me a few feet away. My fast car was fast, and my slow car was slow. I simply stopped, and the horse-drawn carriage also stopped.

Immediately afterwards, the curtain of the carriage opened, and a familiar voice came...

"Ha, what a coincidence."
