Since I met you, people are dying every day

Sure enough, I heard Cen Guangji say: "I have a granddaughter who is sixteen years old this year. I taught her to read the Four Books for Women and some poems and books. I think Ziqi is full of talent. I think I need an interpreter. If Ziqi wants to, why not?" See you last time?"

Ye Sirui couldn't laugh or cry.He was worried about his nephew, how could he have any interest in marrying a wife?He had to listen patiently to Mr. Cen before he refused. "Don't dare to hide it, Ziqi is twenty-four this year and has a nephew to take care of him. I really dare not delay your daughter's youth."

Elder Cen doesn't like this. "What are you talking about? You are 24, which is a very good age for a man. You raised your nephew, which shows that you are filial, which is what a scholar should be. If you want to make a big splash, how can you worry about the back house every day? You need someone to help you Manage the family business and raise the children."

What he said made it difficult for Ye Sirui to refute.It happened that Ye Fu came to toast, and Ye Sirui took the opportunity to escape.Babbling on the stage, the play has been changed.Ye Sirui took a few steps away from the crowd and listened attentively.This song is about Liu Xiang's dispute. The overlord of Chu wanted to cook his grandpa. Liu Bang sang: "My old man is like a old man. I am lucky to have a share of the pie." He couldn't help but wonder.Anshun Hou birthday, why did the troupe sing this play?

"Why are you in a daze here?" Ye Sirui turned around, and He Ying looked at him with a wine glass. "I was tired of their compliments, and ran away as soon as the banquet started, but shouldn't you socialize at the banquet?"

Ye Sirui smiled.

"What are you laughing at?" He Ying asked suspiciously.

"I laughed at you for being young and flirtatious, why didn't Mr. Cen promise you his granddaughter." Ye Sirui said.

He Ying curled her lips in disdain. "I guess the old man likes a serious and serious scholar like my brother. I have high eyesight, young master. I haven't seen the top brand of any brothel in Helin, so I don't care if he is a granddaughter?" Ye Sirui said quickly: "Shut up, don't After being heard, how can a girl from a good family ask you to compare it with those dirty people."

He Ying didn't take it seriously, "I'm just like that about what to make a fuss about."

Ye Sirui thought so too. "You are so different from your brother."

"Him?" He Ying made an exaggerated grimace. This childish gesture was as natural as a childish child when he was seventeen or eighteen years old. "He just looks serious and talks about me when he comes back. I Can't stand him."

It seems that the relationship is not bad.Ye Sirui hooked his lips slightly, and heard him ask in a low voice: "Old man Cen wants to marry his granddaughter to you?"

Ye Sirui didn't bother to correct her address anymore. "Don't talk nonsense. He probably asked casually."

"Then what do you think?" He Ying's handsome face was bright in the sunlight, showing a little confusion and cautiousness.

"I?"

The atmosphere was so quiet that the commotion in the garden disappeared in an instant.Ye Sirui was also a little confused for a moment, but he just shook his head, "Kuang'er hasn't been found yet, so I don't have the heart to think about it."

After a long circle, the topic came back here.He Ying was also silent for a moment.They quietly looked at the red cloth strips swaggering on the trees in the garden, and the smoke from the incense burner filled the air.

Xiaoxi~The children pretended to fight on the stage with sticks, and the sound of gongs and drums was intense for a while.After the beating, they stopped and put on a posture and continued to sing, which was about King Zhou cooking and killing Bo Yi Kao, and Ji Chang Han hated eating minced meat.

Ye Sirui took the opportunity to break the awkward silence. "Who ordered this play? I was surprised when I sang the Overlord of Chu, Cooking Grandpa just now. How come you sang this again so well?"

"I don't know, it should be ordered by the butler, right?" He Ying was also very confused, "Maybe he praised the old man for being as wise as a king of Wen? As mighty as an overlord?"

Ye Sirui still felt strange.Marquis Anshun's two sons are both present. Compare him to King Wen?Besides, that play was not a compliment to Xiang Yu.It may be that I am suspicious.He thought again.After Ye Kuang disappeared, he looked at everything strangely.

"Yu~feng?" He suddenly saw Ye Fu walking over with a pale face, with cold sweat on his forehead. "Didn't you talk to Mr. Cen? What's the matter? Are you feeling unwell?" He Ying and him supported Ye Fu from left to right.Ye Fu shook his head. "I'm fine. I'm not feeling well. Come out to get some air."

Ye Sirui saw that the coat on his back was soaked, no matter how he looked, he didn't look like he was fine. "I'll help you go back and sit down."

"Don't!" Ye Fu immediately refused, and even broke free from him.

"What happened to you?"

"I..." Ye Fu was also aware of his abnormality, and forced a smile, "I don't want to go back to the theater, it's too noisy."

Standing like this is not an option, Ye Sirui was about to signal He Ying to help him back to sit in the room, when he heard screams and a commotion from the guests. "What's going on!?" He ignored Ye Fu and strode back.

Cen Guangji fainted.

Everything happened in an instant, he was talking to An Shunhou when he suddenly fell down.Fortunately, the butler on the side quickly supported him, so he didn't knock directly on the table.

Ye Sirui didn't dare to act rashly, but turned to look at Cen Guangji.His face was already black and blue, his lips were white, and he was foaming at the mouth. "Could it be heat stroke?" Ye Sirui asked.

"It's not like this after heat stroke." Marquis Anshun said, "The butler has already gone to ask for a doctor."

The guests were very flustered, Marquis Anshun stood up to comfort them, and asked someone to send a letter to the pavilion, saying that Cen Guangji had passed out due to heatstroke, and told the female relatives not to panic, and continue watching the play.

Marquis Anshun is getting old, and there are doctors in his mansion.It is said that he was originally an imperial physician in the palace, but later made a mistake, Marquis Anshun begged His Majesty to come to the mansion.

The doctor was really arrogant, he arrived with the housekeeper, saw a group of people in official uniforms, he just bowed his hands together and went straight to the collapsed Cen Guangji.He observed his words, grasped his hand to cut the pulse again, and shouted, "Is it okay?" Ye Sirui was so frightened that he hurriedly asked him: "What's the matter? Can't he be rescued?" The doctor said: "Take the ginseng tea and hang it. It can be delayed for a while. This is not a disease, it is poisoning! Master Hou is holding a birthday banquet today, I am afraid that more than one person will be poisoned!"

When the butler heard that he wanted to hang it with ginseng tea, he ordered his servants to fetch the old ginseng to the kitchen. He also heard that it was poisoned, so his whole body went limp, and he went to report to Lord Hou.The doctor took out the silver needle and administered it, but Ye Sirui didn't dare to disturb him, and quietly watched him insert the needle. "Ask if you have anything to say," said the doctor.Seeing that he didn't care about being distracted, Ye Sirui said, "What kind of poison is it? Can you see how it got poisoned?"

"I don't know how it got poisoned. I can only tell you that the poison is not considered strong and can be hidden in the body. The old man fainted because he was old and weak, and he was exposed to heat, and the poison directly broke out. "

The news is not comforting.The fact that the poison can lurk in the body means that more people may be poisoned without knowing it.Ye Sirui made a decisive decision and asked him: "Then if the poison hasn't flared up, can you tell if it's poisoned?"

The doctor scoffed. "If I can't judge, what am I going to eat?"

Over there, Marquis Anshun got the letter and immediately stopped the banquet. With the doctor's permission, he sent someone to help Cen Guangji back to the bedroom, and the guests returned to the main hall together.Another person was sent to the gazebo to order the wife to take the female relatives to the wing room for a rest.

Ye Sirui didn't care about respect and etiquette at the moment, and leaned over and said: "Master Hou, we may all be poisoned, and one doctor is definitely not enough." His words caused another commotion in the crowd.Marquis Anshun said angrily: "Be quiet, I eat the same as you. If you are poisoned, I will accompany you!" He also asked the housekeeper to invite more doctors to the medical center outside.Because there are female relatives, a medical girl is also invited.

Everyone sat in the hall together.Marquis Anshun sat on top and said wearily, "Speak."

The housekeeper stood aside with his hands tied, while the servant in charge of the kitchen knelt on the ground and shivered. "Master Hou, I swear to God, the food is clean!"

"Give it to him." Anshunhou said.

A boy came over with a wooden tray. On the tray were the birthday cakes for the banquet, a few dishes, and a glass of wine for everyone to drink.The servant wolfed it down without any hesitation, and drank the wine in one gulp.

Marquis Anshun pinched the center of his eyebrows, "Take him down."

The food at the banquet has been tested with silver needles, and there is no mistake. Someone in the kitchen also tried it, and it seems that there is no problem with the food.

The doctor of the Hou Mansion settled Cen Guangji and came over to check on everyone.He first felt the pulse of Marquis Anshun.He An, He Ying and the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion stared nervously at his expression, but An Shun Hou looked indifferent.

"Master Hou, you are also poisoned."

Others turned pale with shock, An Shunhou just asked: "Is there any way to restrain it?"

The doctor shook his head, "If it's like that old gentleman, when the poison flares up, he can barely be suppressed with acupuncture. If it's always lurking, the old man can't do anything about it. And even if it's that old gentleman... the poison is very strange, and I can't think of a solution for a while. method."

The He family sitting in the hall became chaotic again.Marquis Anshun looked around, frowned, and said, "Be quiet! Do you believe me now? Ben Hou said, we all bear life and death together!" The nephews of the He family stopped talking.Anshun Houshun pointed to Ye Sirui beside him, "Take his pulse."

Ye Sirui handed over his wrist, the doctor pinched his wrist and pondered for a long time, and it took him longer to feel his pulse than Marquis Anshun.After contemplating for a long time, he said: "This lord has not been poisoned."

"What!?" Marquis Anshun didn't say anything before the guests below became confused. "He wasn't poisoned, it must have been poisoned by him!"

Ye Sirui was a little surprised.He drank with the others, but did not eat much.How did he escape?

He Ying wanted to complain about him, but He An said: "Father, Mr. Ye has not been poisoned. There is something suspicious about it. Even if you believe Mr. Ye, you still have to consider the emotions of the guests." The plea was blocked.Ye Sirui knew that he didn't have a good impression of him, so it was not surprising.Marquis Anshun said: "No rush, first check the pulse."

The doctor and nurse who had been sent for arrived, but the housekeeper first told them to keep their mouths shut and do whatever they were called, and then brought them to the main hall to pay their respects.The doctor of the Hou's mansion told them the pulse of the poisoning and told them to take the pulse one by one.Ye Sirui was thinking that something was wrong with Ye Fu just now, but the doctor said after reading it that he was not poisonous.In the end, looking at it, the poisoning on the man's side was shallow and deep, but only Ye Sirui and He Ying were not poisoned.There is nothing wrong with the female relatives.

Ye Sirui grabbed He Ying's sleeve, "Can I take a step to talk?" He Ying immediately agreed.One after the other, they walked to the corridor outside the house.Ye Sirui frowned and thought.He Ying asked, "What did you want me to say?"

Ye Sirui looked at him expectantly, and said slowly: "But you poisoned it?"
