First smoked mind

Chapter 37 Magnolia Slices

When the doctor surnamed Xiao was interrogated years ago, Yi Qingyu and Jing Yi had already learned that although he and the person in charge of the Chu'an Hall had mainly dealt with the whole matter, the person who actually instructed and prescribed the prescription was someone else. people.And this person is undoubtedly the real master of Chu'an Hall, that is, Qiao Zi'an.

Now, coupled with some information provided by Qiao Chuxun, it can be preliminarily judged that this Qiao Zi'an colluded with some unknown people after he became the butler of Qiao's mansion and the head of Qiao's medicine hall.Not to mention what deeds he did before he came to Yuezhou Mansion, just taking the opportunity of Qiao's family to open a branch in the Jiangnan area, using fake medicines to deceive ignorant women and children to take the opportunity to make money, is enough to prove that this person left It's by no means the right way.

And his friend above was not a good official with integrity in the officialdom.It's just that Jing Yi has been relegated from Bianjing now, and the other side has been keeping a close eye on him. It's not good for him to make too much noise in the officialdom within two or three years.Otherwise, according to his previous style of conduct, he would have found a reason to slap this person's official position.But right now the case of Chu'antang can be said to be completely cleared up. From the mastermind to the accomplice, all the criminals have been arrested, and they can be convicted and punished one by one after the approval of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. It is a happy event for both public and private.

During Qiao Chuxun's recuperation period, the weather was getting warmer day by day, and Yi Qingyu handled the case well, so Jing Yi became more and more relaxed, and stayed in the house all day long, clinging to Qiao Chuxun.Always tease her with words.Even if I go out with her for a walk around the house every day, I have to hug her for a while, in the name of letting her get used to the cold and heat outside, the angry Qiao Chuxun often blushes, but she can't say a word of argument .Afraid that Yi Qingyu and the others would run into him, he simply hid himself halfway in his arms and dared not look up.

On this day, it happened that the doctor from before came to see Qiao Chuxun. This person was none other than the old man in the hospital that Qiao Chuxun met when he was helping that strange pregnant woman.When Jing Yi rescued him from Qiao Zian's hands, he lost the slightest bit of consciousness, and there were silver needles fixed on several large points on his head and neck.Let Gao Ling and the others go out to invite the doctor, because it was very late, many houses knocked for a long time but no one answered the door, but this old doctor heard the movement from the back yard, and came to save people without saying a word.

Later, Jing Yi also asked the old man why he knew there was a problem with the Chu'an Church. The old man just smiled and explained that it was just a few prescriptions for anti-abortion, which could be prescribed by any medicine hall and medical center. Women who were pregnant or wanted to have children ran to his house.In addition, he once heard people in the industry say that the foundation of this medicine hall seems to be not so clean, but since ancient times, his peers have treated each other lightly, and he has no real evidence. Tips.In this way, no matter whether there is any problem or not, it is not considered that he is a villain.

The old man took Qiao Chuxun's pulse for a while, checked her color and weather, stroked his beard and nodded repeatedly.Seeing Jing Yi looking nervously at the side, he stood up and smiled and cupped his hands: "Young master, don't worry, the girl is fine. You can stop taking the medicine now, and the girl is also a person who is proficient in medicine. Just pay more attention to diet and daily life in the future."

After finishing speaking, he nodded slightly to Qiao Chuxun, packed the medicine box and stepped out of the pavilion.

It was afternoon, and the early spring sun shone warmly on the body. The sycamore trees in the yard had already sprouted new buds, and the faint fragrance of grass leaves floated in the air. It was a good day for traveling.Seeing the doctor walking away, Jing Yi turned his head, took Qiao Chuxun's hand and said, "Do you want to go for a walk?"

Qiao Chuxun had just poured out a cup of tea for Jing Yi, and he was very happy when he heard this. He nodded with a smile on his lips, but he pushed the plate in front of Jing Yi first: "Young master of magnolia slices, you haven't tasted it yet. .”

It is said to be magnolia slices, but it is actually baked with fresh spring bamboo shoots, because the color and shape are very similar to the magnolia flowers that bloom in spring, so it is called this.It is a very common snack in late winter and early spring, but it is not easy to make it delicious in color, fragrance and taste.

To make this magnolia slice, you must first have fresh and tender winter bamboo shoots or spring bamboo shoots, so it is generally advisable to make this dish after the winter solstice and before the next Qingming Festival.Steam bamboo shoots with shells in a small wooden steamer until half-cooked, take them out and dry them in a cool place, peel off the shells, put them in a sieve rack and bake them on the fire.

The heat of steaming and baking is very important. Generally, the failure of home cooking is due to these two processes.Therefore, after the beginning of spring, many shops selling snacks or pastries will launch this dish one after another.But today's dish was made by someone Yi Qingyu hired to help cook.

Qiao Chuxun had already tasted a slice before, not only the color is jade white and clean, but also the taste is fresh and elegant, not half greasy, and does not have the burnt smell of smoke and fire, it can indeed be called top grade.

Jing Yi heard that Qiao Chuxun said it was well made, so he picked up a piece and tasted it, chewed and swallowed it, and took a sip of the tea without saying anything.

Seeing that he didn't like it, Qiao Chuxun thought that there was something dissatisfied, so she asked, "What do you think is dissatisfied, young master?" She could remember it when she said it, and cook this dish herself in the future. Can learn from some.

Jing Yi put down the teacup, and glanced at her with some deep meaning, but he didn't answer the question, instead he revealed the fault of her address: "There are no outsiders around now, why do you still call me son?" The result of the night is that as long as there are outsiders present, Qiao Chuxun still calls him son; if they are left alone, they have to rely on Jing Yi, even if they call him brother, Qiao Chuxun is not allowed to deny it.

Qiao Chuxun lowered his eyes halfway, with a complaining expression on his face, and whispered, "Didn't the young master just say he was going out..." In just a short while, he didn't forget to catch the omissions in his words, and he was about to After going out, don't you have to take advantage of this moment to hurry up and call out...

Speaking of it, it has been more than a month. Jing Yi never allowed her to leave the house, but after all, it is not good to be bored in the house all the time. At most, she was only allowed to walk in the yard. Lu Du still hugged him.Fortunately, Gao Ling and the others probably knew that Qiao Chuxun was thin-skinned, and since the day Qiao Chuxun was able to leave the house, he seldom came to the backyard, so they could avoid the embarrassment of being bumped into their intimate posture.

However, Yi Qingyu ran into him twice.The man first stared wide-eyed, then looked ambiguous, then showed horror, and finally ran away. He took two steps back after running far, and with his back to the two, he gave an aggrieved overview of the business to Jing Yi, and then said Go to the shadow guard's room to have a look first, and then talk about it in detail when Jing Yi passes by.

Jing Yi's face was calm and frank, what to do or what to do, but seeing Qiao Chuxun lowered his eyes and blushing and refused to be touched by him, he felt unhappy in his heart.Next, when he went to find Yi Qingyu, he hinted that the shadow guards would avenge their grievances, so there was no need to save him energy and save face.Therefore, every time Yi Qingyu came excitedly, and went back with a sad face, with some bruises and swelling on his face and forehead.Although there was a trick behind the back of the young master, the price was too heavy!
Therefore, if something serious didn't happen this time, Yi Qingyu would never run straight to the backyard.Fortunately, today I didn't encounter the glamorous scene I imagined, but I went directly to the two of them.

Both of them were wearing light-colored clothes. Jing Yi wore a moon-white gown and a sapphire hair crown, which made him look more handsome; Qiao Chuxun wore a snow-colored thin cape, and the inner dress was peony powder Bai, the two walked out holding hands, talking and laughing at Yan Yan, and there was a deep affection in their eyes that no one could ignore, just like a pair of Bi people walking down from a painting.

Yi Qingyu stood there in a daze as soon as he stepped through the door. He didn't come back to his senses until the two walked in front of him. He hurriedly tugged on Jing Yi's sleeve and said loudly, "Hey, something big happened this time! Speaking of which, I can't completely blame that It's my fault for the jailers... Well, it can't all be blamed on me... All in all, this time the scorpion has become too big, and this time, Lord Hou, you must do it yourself, no, no, no..."

Jing Yi pulled back his sleeves with a calm face, interrupting his confused emotion: "Just tell me what happened, or you will turn right and walk slowly when you go out." It was the same rhetoric when he came back, and he didn't know how to change it. .

Yi Qingyu stomped anxiously: "Hey, don't you believe me, my lord! Something really happened this time. That Qiao Zian, he, he, he escaped from prison!"

This time, not only Jing Yi was taken aback, but even Qiao Chuxun exhaled softly, tightened Jing Yi's hand and said, "My lord..."

What to do, Jing Yi had told her long ago, not to mention the fact that he took her away, the lawsuit at Chu'an Hall alone would be enough for him to spend several years in prison.But these are not comparable to escape from prison. Once Qiao Zian escapes like this, once he is arrested and brought to justice, he will be punished with a higher crime, and he will be punished for several crimes.

Jing Yi shook Qiao Chuxun's little hand, and at this moment he had regained his composure. He motioned for Yi Qingyu to go first, and they followed suit: "Although the prison in the state capital cannot be compared with the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, it is not so easy. Escaped. Was there someone cooperating with each other?"

Yi Qingyu waved his hands again and again: "This is really not there!"

The three of them walked quickly to the front yard, and saw Xiao Lu and the others playing hopscotch behind Xiao Tao'er, next to Gao Ling who even forgot to drink the tea soup, and sat on the side without saying a word.

Although Yi Qingyu didn't have the leisure time to make fun of others, he was amused by this situation and showed a wry smile that he wanted to cry or not. The subordinate of the young master is really unusual!Even his hobbies and hobbies are so unique.

Jing Yi, as if he didn't see it, directly ordered Gao Ling: "Take a few people and walk to the government office together." Then he glanced at Yi Qingyu, who was smiling with twitching corners of his mouth, "That red girl you know, Tonight, finish cooking in the mansion before going to the mansion."

Qiao Chuxun pulled him aside: "My lord, Miss Liao has worked hard for many days, and running around is exhausting. Tonight, let me do the government office."

Yi Qingyu repeatedly nodded in agreement, Miss Qiao is really a caring person!I know that they have been thinking about her craftsmanship for more than a month... Besides, Miss Hongtan is not surnamed Hong, how many times have she told her that her surname is Liao!

Jing Yi hesitated a little, lowered his head to get closer, and said in a low voice, "If you feel tired when you get there later, we can ask a restaurant to deliver it to you. You don't have to be brave."

Qiao Chuxun glanced at him with a slight smile, and nodded.

While speaking, Gao Ling had already arrived at the door to hail two carriages, and the crowd went straight to the government office in two groups. Jing Yi, Qiao Chuxun, Yi Qingyu and Gao Ling were in the same car.After the car got up, Jing Yi asked: "Follow up what you just said, how did you run away?" If no one helped to make room for the loophole, he never believed that the state prison would have such an omission.

Yi Qingyu saw that there were no outsiders, and there was quite a lot of noise in the street, so he was not afraid that the coachman outside could hear their conversation, so he took something out of his arms and signaled Jing Yi to reach out to take it.

Jing Yi opened his palm to take it, and saw another piece of purple jade!This time it is longer than the previous two pieces, and it is two pieces of Sheng pipe joined together.

Qiao Chuxun frowned, why would one piece appear every once in a while?Although she didn't know what the special meaning of this thing was, since it was related to Qisheng Sect, these three jade stones of the same color were all in the shape of Sheng pipes, if they were put together... Qiao Chuxun sketched a rough idea in his mind The shape is clearly a purple jade sheng!

The atmosphere in the carriage was tense for a while.After a while, Jing Yi put the jade into his arms, raised his eyes to glance at Gao Ling, and then looked at Yi Qingyu: "How did it get to you?"

Yi Qingyu had a look of "how can that be?": "Although I don't know how to fight, I'm at the head of the whole family! The imperial court order officials, they just stuffed this into my hand, isn't that..." In Jing Yi Under the cold stare, Yi Qingyu coughed and quickly got back to the topic, "It was found in the hands of the unconscious jailer."

Jing Yi remained expressionless: "Are there any casualties?"

Yi Qingyu waved his hand, feeling a little grateful: "No one was hurt this time. Several guards were knocked out. Among the guards, one had two broken ribs, and the other had a broken bar." legs, but not life-threatening."

Jing Yi nodded: "Go and see people later, and then go to the prison."

Qiao Chuxun also heard some tricks, and a layer of worry gradually appeared on his face.From Yi Qingyu's point of view, Qiao Zi'an had colluded with the Qisheng sect.But in the blink of an eye, things became more complicated than she had imagined before by more than 01:30...

As soon as he entered the gate of the government office, a prisoner rushed towards him, saluted everyone, and then talked with Yi Qingyu by ear.The latter glanced at Qiao Chuxun first, his expression seemed a little embarrassed, and when the arrester finished speaking, Yi Qingyu waved his hand to signal him to go down first.When looking at Jing Yi again, Yi Qingyu obviously lacked confidence, hesitated for a while, and then said in anticipation of Ai Ai: "That...Master Meng and his wife came over, saying that they came here specially to apologize to Miss Qiao."
