Chapter 20 Appointment
Phoenix thought for a moment and shook his head: "I don't know about this, but I guess it's probably because Brother Qing is so good-looking, and my aunt is afraid that people might see her and have evil intentions, like that Same as Zheng Shiro."
Xiao Jinyu shook her head. She was sure that the original owner's mother, Xiao, was not for this reason. Maybe it was related to the original owner's life experience.
"Am I good-looking?"
Fenghuang nodded repeatedly and replied: "Well, even in the Gao family in the North, which is outstanding in beauty, it is difficult to find anyone who can compare with Brother Qing."
The Gao family represented by King Lanling?
In her previous life, she had heard from her grandfather that the ancestor of the Gao family, Gao Huan, who was just a post soldier, was attracted by Lou Zhaojun, the daughter of a powerful man in the Northern Wei Dynasty, because of his outstanding appearance. Lou Zhaojun has always been bold and informal, and his pursuit of the man he likes is more bold than the girls from the South. Lou Zhaojun is even more high-spirited and straightforward. Regardless of the opposition of his family, he resolutely married the powerless Gao Huan as his wife, but from then on he became the real candidate. The son-in-law Gao Huan gradually entered the political center of the Northern Wei Dynasty until he controlled the entire Northern Wei Dynasty. Later the Northern Wei Dynasty split into the Eastern Wei Dynasty and the Western Wei Dynasty. The most powerful minister, together with Yuwentai of the Western Wei Dynasty, were known as the two major heroes in the North.
Unexpectedly, twenty years later, the Gao family had replaced the Tuoba Yuan family and became the dominant Northern Qi regime in the north.
Thinking of this, a disapproving smile appeared on Xiao Jinyu's lips. The boy thought she didn't believe it, and said seriously: "I'm serious, wait a minute, I'll show you a mirror."
Xiao Jinyu was stunned, and it took him a while to realize that the boy saw her smiling and said nothing, thinking that she didn't believe what he said, and ran into the house to get a mirror to prove it.
This house was temporarily rented by them. Xiao Jinyu found that no matter where he went, whether in the North or the South, this boy could always solve their food, daily life and itinerary problems very comprehensively. There was never any problem. Half a minute of delay.
After a while, Fenghuang took out a bronze mirror and handed it to Xiao Jinyu.
Xiao Jinyu didn't take it seriously at first, but when she took the bronze mirror and looked at the person in the mirror, she couldn't help but be startled. This was the first time since her rebirth that she had seriously looked at her appearance. When she first woke up, she didn't care about everything around her. I am very unfamiliar with this face, and I have never looked at this face carefully. Now, looking at it, I feel a bit shocked and unbelievable.
She was a noble daughter of the Xie family in her previous life, and was one of the best beauties in Jiankang City. However, that kind of beauty was the elegance and dignity raised by the family, and it was an elegance and nobility that was unattainable. The face in the picture reveals a kind of enchanting charm in its childish beauty. Even though it has not bloomed, it is like a mandala flower that is about to bloom. It has a suffocating feeling that makes people want to fall into hell.
This kind of beauty is usually not tolerated by aristocratic families and is called a disaster by the world. It is no wonder that the original owner suffered such a fate in his previous life. He was crushed and given away several times and became the plaything of the powerful.
Seeing this face, Xiao Jinyu had doubts in her heart. She had seen people from the Xiao family, and none of the Xiao family's groomsmen had such a charming and charming look. So her face...
"Phoenix, do I look like my mother?"
The boy looked at it for a while and shook his head: "It doesn't look like it. My aunt is beautiful to begin with, but brother Qing is even more beautiful than my aunt... It seems that the only thing that looks like is these lips..." He pointed a finger at Xiao Jinyu's lips. , "Like a little bit."
The boy blushed when he said this, but Xiao Jinyu didn't care at all and lowered his eyes in thought.
If you are not like your mother, you must be like your father.
So who is the father of the original owner?
Is he still alive?
And why did Xiao never mention the original owner’s father?
Also, Xiao Shiniang's reaction when he saw her appearance today was not joyful, but familiar with a hint of fear.
Why is she afraid?
While meditating, the voice of Phoenix came to my ears again and asked: "Brother Qing, why did you send a letter to the right lady of the Xiao family in advance to tell you that you were coming back, but then you entered the mansion as a doctor? Why don’t you stay at home?”
Xiao Jinyu smiled and replied: "Sending the letter is a warning. Throw a stone first to see how big a storm it can cause. Entering the house as a doctor will not only give people a reason to drive out of the Xiao family, but also allow people to investigate Understand the situation in the house and know who is the enemy and who is the friend. "
"Brother Qing, what did you find out? Who is the enemy? Who is the friend?" Phoenix asked excitedly.
Xiao Jinyu smiled, paused for a long time, and asked: "Fenghuang, I remember you said that white porcelain is a new type of porcelain produced in the Northern Qi Dynasty. Now it is only widely used among the powerful people in the Northern Qi Dynasty, right?"
"yes."
"That's it."
"What is it?"
Seeing Xiao Jinyu's expression of enlightenment, Fenghuang became even more curious.
Xiao Jinyu then smiled and said: "As far as I know, Nanchen and Northern Qi have not yet traded with each other, so this kind of porcelain should rarely flow into Nanchen. When I entered the mansion today, I saw the porcelain cup held by the right lady, Princess Yunyin. It’s very similar to the white porcelain lamps that are abundant in Northern Qi.”
At this point, Phoenix had already understood.
"Oh, I understand what Brother Qing means. The porcelain merchants in the Northern Qi Dynasty are controlled by Lu Lingxuan, the Lord of Lu County. The circulation of white porcelain must go through Lu Lingxuan's hands. Brother Qing is suspicious. Princess Yunyin and Lu Lingxuan have private dealings?" suddenly thought of it. What, Fenghuang said again, "Then those killers we met in the land of Northern Qi..." "We are not completely sure yet, but what is certain is that the right lady, Princess Yunyin, is not a friend."
Phoenix then smiled.
"It's natural. The right lady is not a good person at first glance." He said, "Brother Qing, you are teasing me, so who can be your friend?"
He asked with a smile. As soon as he stopped speaking, he heard the sound of wind in his ears. The boy who had always been highly vigilant about enemies suddenly changed his face and shouted: "Who?"
Immediately afterwards, people wanted to run in the direction of the sound.
Xiao Jinyu stopped immediately: "Don't go, Phoenix, our friends are here."
As soon as I finished speaking, I heard the sound of wheels rolling in my ears. The moonlight was bright at this time, and the night wind made the leaves rustle. Outside the door of the small courtyard, a white figure came slowly in a wheelchair in the moonlight. Looking from a distance, it really looks like a fairy that has emerged from the sky.
"It's the showman of the Xiao family. Why is he here?" Fenghuang was still surprised, but then looked at Xiao Jinyu as if he had realized something, "So he is the friend that Brother Qing said?"
Xiao Jinyu smiled, looked at Xiao Xian who was slowly approaching the hospital, and said with a smile: "Is the husband of the Xiao family really a passionate person? Is he here because of your niece's illness?"
Xiao Xian asked the boy to stop the wheelchair and looked at Xiao Jinyu, who was standing tall and tall, facing him in the moonlight.
Xiao Jinyu was not wearing a hat at this time, so when she turned her head over, her appearance was completely revealed in Xiao Xian's eyes.
Similar to Xiao Shiniang's reaction, Xiao Xianzhi was stunned as if he had received an electric shock.
After a while, Xiao Xiancai came back to his senses and said apologetically when Fenghuang asked, "Why are you looking at my brother Qing like that?" Lost my mind, disrespected me."
"Lang Junmiao praised it."
After a moment of silence, Xiao Xian said again: "Yes, Xian came here because of his niece's illness, but I also want to thank Lang Jun for his kind invitation. Probably only Lang Jun can read another meaning from Xian's "Denggao Fu" Come."
"On the way home by the water, the wind blows in the spring, the moon is bright in the autumn night, and the geese are flying in the early morning. Only the Xianlang of the Xiao family can find a paradise with such beautiful scenery."
Fenghuang was shocked when he heard this. He thought that when he was looking for a house today, Xiao Jinyu suddenly suggested coming here. It turned out to be an ulterior motive.
Xiao Xian just smiled and returned to the topic: "I dare to ask Mr. Lang, why does the prescription contain Imperata Imperata root? According to Xian's knowledge, this Imperata Imperata root is cold in nature and is not suitable for those who are weak and afraid of cold." This medicine."
"It seems that Mr. Xiao is also a person who knows medicine. Although the root of Imperata is cold in nature, it is a good medicine for treating lung heat, asthma, and typhoid fever. Xiao Shiniang seems to be suffering from cold disease, but her lungs have been burned. If the fever is severe, if the heat and phlegm are not cleared away in time, you will suffer from tuberculosis." After a pause, Xiao Jinyu said again, "The husband of the Xiao family must have read a lot of medical books, and he must have consulted many famous doctors. . Do you know why your niece’s illness did not heal for a long time under your treatment?”
Xiao Xian was well-read and knowledgeable, and he was already familiar with Zhang Zhongjing's "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases". He originally thought that he was proficient in pharmacology, but when he heard Xiao Jinyu's explanation, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised and confused.
Just listen to her saying: "Your medicine contains the scent of rugosa. The scent of rugosa is warm in nature and can relieve inflammation. It can strengthen the stomach and replenish qi. It is a delicious medicine, but you don't know that if this medicine is blended with the fragrance of epiphyllum flowers, Together, it will increase the moisture and make the cold even worse. In addition, Xiao Shiniang has not been out for a long time and is closed in the house. This cold has nowhere to vent, which will double the invasion of her bone marrow and make the condition worse. "
"But your niece is very cautious. She did not drink those medicines or drank very little, so it is not at the point where there is no cure."
"Huoxiang?" Xiao Xian seemed a little surprised, but he didn't say anything more and said, "Thank you for letting me know."
"No, it's just a word."
As he spoke, Xiao Jinyu picked up a chess piece on the table and played with it in his hands. A look of deep thought and freedom appeared between his delicate brows.
The nobility that was inadvertently revealed in such gestures was completely different from that person.
Xiao Xian was distracted again, and after a while he asked: "What's your name?"
