The black-bellied princess plays the prince

Chapter 96 Search
There was a wind blowing, and the leaves brushed against his cheeks, stirring up the mist in front of him, making his face even more blurred.

I suddenly realized that I had never paid attention to the people in the yard. I didn't understand the ones standing in the middle of the yard, and I didn't understand the ones sitting on the treetops.

For example, why did Ye Xiao follow me all the time, and never gave up looking for me.

For another example, why did the master give up all his energy for me?
What can they get from me?
"Let's not gossip. In the near future, we may be in danger. Since you are by the side, and Wangcai is very familiar with the area around Mangcang Mountain, you should take it to spy secretly." The master said.

Ye Xiao's smile was ironic: "You want me to protect you?"

"No, it's for Yueya'er..." The master said in a tired tone, "Don't worry about me, if there is any danger, just take her away."

"What's the danger?" Ye Xiao said, "I've scouted this town many times, just like many other towns..."

The master smiled, "If he can let you find out the flaws, how can you hide for so many years?"

The courtyard fell into silence, and after a long time, Ye Xiao said: "Okay, I will definitely protect her."

He stood up, with his toes on the top of the tree, he jumped up like a bird, and Wangcai followed him, jumped over the low wall of the yard, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

The master stood in the middle of the yard without moving for a long time, standing still like a bluestone, and after a long time, he turned around slowly and walked to his wing.

I watched his back disappear behind the door. When the door was closed, his face was as frozen as ice, and his brows were deeply furrowed, as if something insoluble was bothering him.

I have only seen him like this in the Chu Palace, and he looked like this when the Empress Dowager Chu appeared.

Could it be that the Empress Dowager Chu did not keep her promise, so that the people from the Mo Sect came here?Master is worried because of this?
He secretly called Ye Xiao over. Is there really any unavoidable danger in this small town?
I am a killer, so I can feel the murderous intent lurking in the crowd by nature, but since I entered this Emerald Valley, I have no sense of crisis like Sihao. Could it be that my sense of touch is no longer sensitive?
In doubt, it came to the tenth day of the ninth lunar month, which was also the day when Mr. Meng's family chose his wife.

From my point of view, although Feicui Valley is just a small town, the Meng family's selection of daughter-in-laws is as grand as the emperor's selection of concubines.

But because the people selected by the Meng family were only in the Emerald Valley, not many people participated, but even so, on this day, the street was full of fragrant clothes and shadows, like flowers and beautiful faces.

The post had already been sent to the Bai Mansion, so my master and I pretended to be attendants and followed Bai Fu and Bai Zhen to the Meng Mansion.

Bai Fu is indeed well-known in the Emerald Valley, as soon as she appeared, she caused jealousy in the eyes of other women.

"Look, the goddess doctor is here. The Meng family's selection of a daughter-in-law shows that they must understand medical skills. The daughter of the Bai family is proficient in medical science. She must be the chosen one today!" Someone whispered.

"Yes, yes, she gives medicines and cures to the people in the town every year, and she deserves the word goddess doctor." Someone praised.

"By marrying this daughter-in-law, the Meng family will have a higher reputation." Someone sighed.

Bai Fu is in a dignified state, but there is a smugness in her eyes.

I just heard it secretly amused, Xindao Emerald Valley's genius doctor is too easy to get, just with her half bucket of water level and the fame bought with money, she can actually fool everyone in Emerald Valley.

The hustle and bustle of people suddenly quieted down. From the other end of the long street, there was the sound of horseshoes clattering. The horseshoes sounded like a single horse walking, but it turned out to be more than a dozen horses walking slowly. Come.

More than a dozen attendants in gold-woven black robes were riding on horses, hugging a young man in purple robes in the middle. The young man was wearing a white gauze veiled cap, and the wind blew off the gauze on his face. When it was lifted, half of his chin was revealed, like jade, extremely graceful.

"It's Young Master Meng." Someone whispered in the crowd.

But the whispering voice was also suppressed extremely low, as if afraid of disturbing the young man in purple robe who was on the horse.

He was sitting on a blue steed with no hairs at all, and he was dressed in heavy colors all over his body, but he looked like an immortal in the sky, about to ride the wind and leave.

The light veil slid over his cheeks, making his face appear like a shadow, but it was fresh and elegant, as if the aura of orchid radiated from his body.

"Same as his father, same as his father..." Mrs. Bai muttered, her eyes sparkling.

And Bai Fu showed an excited look on her face, and her eyes were fixed on the boy on the horse.

I thought, if eyes could kill, people with a weaker heart would not be able to bear so many affectionate eyes staring at him.

In the previous dynasty, there was a handsome man who was "watched and killed", which is the most glamorous way of death. Compared with my killer's [-] styles, is it the most invisible way to kill people?

More than a dozen horses rushed into the gate of Meng's house like a whirlwind, but the sound of their hooves was not chaotic. They were really better trained than the horses in the inner courtyard of the palace.

And the closer you get to the gate of the Meng Mansion, the more you feel the luxury and wealth of the Meng Mansion. On the glazed tile roof, there are gold-painted beasts on it, and the vermilion gate is carved with gold and jade. The animal eyes in the auxiliary head are inlaid with bright pearls, and the picture of eight peppers on the door, which glows faintly, is actually made of silver lacquer and gold powder.

There are eight or eight nails on the door, and there are eight or eight and sixty-four.

Two teams of servants lined up on both sides of the door to welcome the guests who came to the Meng Mansion.

I remembered what Master and Ye Xiao had said the night before, so I carefully observed the guests to see if there was any murderous intention hidden, but I only saw the two rows of people wearing brocade and silk, and wearing thick green cloth shoes. It is a uniform cyan color, but it is expensive.

Walking into the yard, you can see the blue tile walls, carved beams and painted cabinets, which are gorgeous and gorgeous.

On both sides of the promenade, jade and fruit beads are actually hung on the coral trees more than two feet high. Looking from a distance, the dazzling flowers make people think of the fairy gates in the sky, which should only exist in the sky.

The Meng Mansion is very spacious, with a huge square. In the center of the square, there is a white satin umbrella cover, and under the umbrella is a chair painted with gold and lacquer. Meng Bufan is leaning on the chair, his face The veil on the top has been removed, and he is drinking tea.

Originally he was the master and wanted to stand up to welcome the guests, but he was sitting on the couch, only the servants welcomed the guests into the table, he sat still and no one raised any objections.

I had a faint feeling that something was wrong, and it was only at this time that I realized what was wrong, turned my head to look at the master, and said in a low voice: "Master, look at his ostentation, he is actually more particular than some high-ranking officials and princes in the court."

The master didn't answer, just stared at the coral tree which was two feet high, and didn't make a sound for a long time.

I could see the serious look on the master's face, and I couldn't help cheering up secretly.

After we sat down, Meng Bufan slowly got up from the couch, put down the teacup in his hand, and stood under the plain satin canopy.

His voice was a little hoarse, but it was like the strings of a piano being played in a low voice. He gently plucked it and penetrated into his ears: "I invited all of you here today, and I disturbed you all. Please forgive me."

He bowed in circles, but his thin lips were pursed lightly, as if there was endless tenderness hidden in the corners of his mouth and brows, whichever girl's face his eyes fell on, that girl's face would blush.

I stood on Bai Fu, and it was obvious that Bai Fu's ears were red.

If a man's charm can also kill people invisible, this Meng Bufan is the sharpest knife.

He is different from Li Zeyu, Li Zeyu always has a coldness on his body, making people shy away, but he, like the gentlest spring breeze in the world, can make people fall involuntarily.

"The girls are invited to come here today to choose a wife for Xiaoke. Xiaoke's father has always been in poor health, so Xiaoke inherits the tradition of our Meng family and chooses a woman who can understand medicine. In this way, it will be convenient. Taking care of my father nearby will also be able to take charge of the Meng family pharmacy and make the Meng family pharmacy flourish."

As far as I know, the Meng family's business covers all walks of life, and the pharmacy is just one of them, but it has always been controlled by the Meng family's mistress, which can be regarded as making the best use of everything.

Everyone at the banquet showed excitement on their faces. Who didn't know that when Yu Xiang'er married into the Meng family, the relatives of the Yu family followed the chickens and dogs to heaven, and all became rich men with wealth. Although Yu Xiang'er died young, The Meng family apologized to the Yu family, and treated her family well.

But the girls from each family also had more eyes, and their eyes never left Meng Bufan's body for a moment.

Mrs. Bai led Bai Fu and Bai Zhen to sit at the banquet. Bai Zhen was fine, but Bai Fu was very excited. As for Mrs. Bai, she was muttering to herself. What to say: "It turns out that he is sick, so it's not that he doesn't want to see me?"

Bai Fu warned in a low voice: "Mother, don't lose your composure here and lose face for your daughter!"

Only then did Madam Bai put away the excitement on her face.

All the girls sitting on the seat said coquettishly: "Young Master Meng, please write a question, I will do my best."

Meng Bufan said: "Everyone knows that although the Meng family pharmacy is not big, the medicines they make are all high-quality products, which are not only for the nobles in the palace, but also for the high-ranking ladies, especially for beauty and health, and the production process is complicated. , There are many steps, and these prescriptions were researched by several generations of our Meng family. In the future, they can only be passed on to the daughter-in-law of the Meng family, and she will prepare them herself. Therefore, the Meng family can only choose a woman who knows medical skills to become my Meng Bufan. Therefore, today I will use one of the Meng family's prescriptions, the preparation of fairy jade girl powder, to test the girls..."

He clapped his hands, and the butler beside him brought out a stack of papers, "This is the preparation method of this fairy jade girl powder. Of course, in order to keep the Meng family's prescription from spreading, there are a few ingredients missing, but the preparation method is similar. , Therefore, please girls follow the dosage on this medicine list..."
