Jiu Zhang Ji: The Daily Life of the Reborn Daughter

Chapter 64: Three Looms

After leaving the outer study, Qiao Lili sent a servant to ask where Doctor Feng was.

The servant went away for a while and came back to report, and sure enough, it was at the winery, just as expected.

You say you are a miracle doctor, but you don't go to the medicine garden to plant some rare medicinal herbs, don't go to the pharmacy to mix some life-saving pills, and spend every day in the wine shop. Are you dedicated? Are you serious?

When Qiao Lili arrived at the winery, she saw a familiar scene. Doctor Feng was holding a gourd ladle and drinking while dancing, singing and laughing. He looked extremely happy.

Seeing Qiao Lili coming, he generously put the gourd ladle to her lips: "Girl, drink, drink quickly, it's freshly brewed, seven days of drunkenness is nothing, I want to name this wine ten days of drunkenness, no, half a month of drunkenness."

If you really get drunk for half a month, who would buy it? If you drink it twice, a month will pass. If you drink it twenty-four times, a year will pass. It's scary to think about it. However, she would not use this wine recipe to make a profit, because it belongs to the manor of the rich man. It's okay for her to take advantage of it to please the old doctor, but she would never disrupt the order.

"Drink it, drink it quickly." Qiao Lili really couldn't tell whether the wine was good or not. People taste wine into good and bad tastes, but to her, it was all bad tastes. Her throat felt spicy as if it was on fire. Seeing the expectant light in the old man's eyes, she didn't want to spoil the mood. She put her tongue that she wanted to spit out to dry in the air in her mouth properly and said against her will, "It's delicious." This really proves the saying: honey to one man is poison to another.

“Tell me, girl, what do you want from me? I know you are not here to taste the wine.” Doctor Feng took another big sip of the wine in the gourd ladle and made the sound of putting his tongue against the roof of his mouth, inhaling a breath through the gaps between his teeth and the sides of his tongue, and then opening his mouth to exhale, “Hiss~~Ha~~~”.

"Grandpa Feng, I would like to ask you to check my grandmother's pulse tomorrow." If there is a disease, treat it; if there is no disease, take care of it and prevent it. In this life, she must make her grandmother live a long life.

"It's not that difficult. I'll check her pulse tomorrow and then drink." After saying this, he looked at Qiao Lili who was still hesitant to speak, "You still have something to do. When did this girl become fruit wine? It won't come out if you don't squeeze it."

You are a miracle doctor, shouldn't you compare me to ointment? It can't come out without squeezing it out. How can you compare me to wine? It's unprofessional, very unprofessional.

"I want to ask you, if a person has been dead for many years, can you still tell whether he died of poisoning? Can you tell what kind of poison he died of?"

"Whether it's poisoning or not, I can tell just by looking at the bones. As for what kind of poison it is, that depends on the specific circumstances. In most cases, it can be determined." There are one or two types that cannot be seen, but since they cannot be seen, it can be determined that it is one of those one or two types. The range is so small that it is almost the same as giving an answer.

"Then, what about the poison we talked about that day?" Qiao Lili finally asked this question.

"It's easiest to tell if it's poisonous. I don't even need to go. You can tell if it's poisonous just by me saying it." Feng Wuzui took another sip of wine: "Hiss~~Ha~~", "The surface of a normal person's bones is smooth, but the bones of a person who has been poisoned have very dense small holes on the surface. That's because they've been corroded by the poison, and it's very easy to tell."

"So this is ah."

"Yes, it's very obvious. Take a look yourself first. If you can't tell the difference, come to me." After Feng Wuzui said this, he left Qiao Lili and went to exchange experiences with the winemaking master.

Qiao Lili walked out of the winery and was thinking about the poison when she saw Jia Zhiyong holding a carrier pigeon in his hand. It was Xiaobai. Xiaobai had flown back. Ajing had a letter.

Jia Zhiyong handed Xiaobai to Qiao Lili, and Qiao Lili took a bamboo tube off its leg.

"Feed it well and let it rest for a few days." Xiaobai's feathers were a little messy and he had lost a lot of weight. There was no urgent message for him to deliver now, so he let him rest well and gain some weight.

Jia Zhiyong took Xiaobai and left. Qiao Lili was not in a hurry to read the letter, but took the letter back to Lupingyuan.

After washing her hands, she sat down at the table and opened the bamboo tube.

"Ali, today I have arrived at the source of the Gan River, Gan Mountain. Tomorrow I will climb up to see its source. Ali, I will stand on the top of Gan Mountain and call your name. Can you hear me?"

Qiao Lili smiled. She heard it. In her dreams every night, she could hear him calling A Li, A Li. No matter if he was shouting on the top of the mountain or calling him secretly in his heart, she could hear it.

"Three looms, the moonlight shining like water on the dressing table, the past days come into my dreams one after another, I traveled in the sea of ​​flowers in spring, picked red leaves in autumn, and look forward to returning to talk about the past."

The last time we met, I did nothing but cry and didn't say much. I really wish I could see Ajing every day.

Aunt Yun has already sent you the letter, you will soon know that we are a match made in heaven, are you happy?

I remembered what Ah Jing said in my dream, if you are not afraid, then try again. There is no such thing as a match made in heaven, and there are always people who defy fate and change their destiny.

Ah Jing, how can I repay you for treating me like this?

The second day of March is an auspicious day, suitable for marrying auspicious people.

After the emperor learned that the director and deputy director of the Imperial Observatory were threatened, he called the eldest and second princes to the upper study and whipped them, saying, "The imperial concubine has long seen through your intentions. She has gone to the Jokhang Temple to find Wuwei. You should quickly release the two children and go to the palace to apologize."

"You guys can't plot against the Imperial Concubine. Don't do anything behind her back. You might end up losing more than you gain."

After leaving the study, the two looked at each other, with hopeful light rising in their eyes, and then disappeared in an instant. They both understood each other's intentions. At first, they were thinking of going to the Jokhang Temple to assassinate Concubine Yun, but it was only an idea later. Concubine Yun waved her sleeves, and the three thousand imperial guards were poisoned and lay down for three days.

It is said that she just flicked the tip of her little finger, and her mother still cannot speak to this day.

If they were to assassinate her, wouldn't that be asking for death?

It would be much easier to target Qiao Lili and the Sixth Prince than to target Concubine Yun.

How about targeting Qiao Lili first? The person who was sent to assassinate the Sixth Prince last time has not returned yet, not even a single letter has come out. The First Prince feels that he is in great danger.

Why not attack Qiao Lili? She's a softie, so it should be easier to attack her. The two limped along and hadn't taken a few steps when the topic turned to Qiao Lili.

The eldest prince said: "It is said that since the engagement, Qiao Lili has been supporting Bai Junzhe's family."

The Second Prince: "I make boots for Bai Junzhe every day."

The eldest prince: "He also dressed like a ghost and didn't eat meat for four years. He said it was to pray for Bai Junzhe."

The Second Prince: "If you like Bai Junzhe so much, why did you turn your back on him and follow the Sixth Prince? You must be angry."

The eldest prince said, "It's Bai Junzhe who brought a woman back. He said he promised her that he would not take concubines when he left, but he went back on his word. How can the daughter of the Duke of Dingguo swallow this?"

The Second Prince: "Tsk, Bai Junzhe is useless. He must have failed. Take her down first. Even if you marry a hundred concubines, she will have to bear it."

The eldest prince: "Don't you think about it? When Bai Junzhe left, Qiao Lili was only twelve years old."

The Second Prince: "The younger they are, the easier it is to deceive them. Besides, the younger a woman is, the more tender she is."

The eldest prince said: "If that old man heard you saying this, he would whip you again."

The Second Prince: "Hey, that old thing is guarding that old witch in Yunxiao Palace, so we can't be too presumptuous. The courtesan in Cuiliuju is too seductive."

The eldest prince said: "Have you seen Qiao Lili? She looks not much worse than that old witch. If you get her and moisturize and rub her every day, she will be no worse than that old witch."

The eldest prince paid attention to the second prince's expression, and sure enough, he saw his eyes light up.

Lao Liu, when you came back, Qiao Lili became someone else's. You can't blame me for that. I didn't do anything.
