Struggle History of the Reborn Son

Soon, it will be the Lantern Festival. The plan for a year is in spring. Compared with the family banquet at the end of the year, the Xu family's family banquet this time is more grand. Be extra careful.

The back kitchen of the mansion started preparations early on, and Xu Renwei was still in the bath, so he summoned his wives, concubines, children and women to the Haohan Pavilion, where the earth dragon was burned, and it was warm and very comfortable.

When Xu Jingxuan arrived at Haohan Pavilion, he brought a self-made mask, which covered most of his face, only frightened Xu Renwei, and hurriedly asked: "Xuan'er, what's wrong with you."

Xu Jingxuan shook his head, and looked at Second Aunt Cui for help.

Second Aunt Cui explained: "Master, it's all because of my concubine's poor care, which caused Xuan'er to catch a cold, coughed badly, and couldn't speak well. Today's Lantern Festival is a festive day, so Xuan'er wanted to come out to get some air. Afraid of infecting everyone with the sickness, I asked Lily girl to sew something to cover her mouth, which surprised the master."

Xu Renwei was still worried, and said kindly to the servant beside him, "Go and invite Doctor Liu."

Second Aunt Cui hastily stopped her and said, "Master, don't worry, Dr. Liu has already seen it in the morning, and said to take some medicine to see the situation first, today is the Lantern Festival, it's rare for the whole family to get together, don't spoil everyone's interest, Besides, my concubine has already given the medicine to the back kitchen, let the back kitchen help cook it, and after the Lantern Festival meal, Xuan'er can drink it."

Master Xu just needs to give up.

At the end, Second Aunt Cui turned to look at Mrs. Zheng: "Ma'am, at the Lantern Festival banquet today, everyone in the concubine's courtyard ate with Madam's money, and no fire was made. Xuan'er's medicine should have been brewed in the concubine's courtyard." , I left it in the back kitchen without authorization today, and I have to trouble Madam."

In Xu's mansion, Second Aunt Cui had her own small kitchen, which was almost impossible in an ordinary official's mansion.But Xiao Mingyu let Second Aunt Cui raise his son, because he was afraid that his stepmother would be harsh on his son, so how could he not arrange it properly? When she was still alive, she directly transferred more than a dozen shops and five farms to Second Aunt Cui. All money in and out is self-care.Later, when Mrs. Zheng came through the door, Mrs. Zheng wanted to change. If Mr. Xu didn't let go, she couldn't help it.

Mrs. Zheng said with a smile: "What about sister Cui? My sister has a lot of money, and she doesn't bother the master. It's the master's blessing. How can a sister be so talkative? Besides, Xuan'er is the eldest son of the master, let alone just decocting medicine in the back kitchen. Even if I eat in the back kitchen every day, as a aunt, I should take care of her."

"The concubine will thank Madam first."

While speaking, Xu Jingxuan couldn't help but sneer when he saw someone fidgeting.

Daewoo has the custom of making lanterns during the Lantern Festival. The whole family gathers together to watch the lanterns made by the children in each house, which is very lively for the occasion.

When he came, Xu Jingxuan brought a rabbit lamp. Because he was in a bad mood recently, the rabbit lamp was mainly made by the maid Lily. He was only responsible for sticking the ruby ​​and obsidian on the nose and eyes, and finally painted the spirit with the pen and ink.

Xu Jingchun made a duck lamp, with a chubby body and a wide duck mouth painted in bright red, it was very ugly, and I don't know what he thought.Xu Jinghe was holding a peach lantern, which was very expressive; Xu Jingsong was only three years old, and he made a piggy lantern so-so.The doll’s home is colorful. Xu Ruolan made a peony lamp, which is just about to bloom. The method is relatively complicated, and it looks like it took a lot of thought.

After some comments, Xu Renwei each judged a few words, and finally commended the owner of the butterfly lamp, and rewarded Xu Ruoxin with an inkstone, which flattered Xu Ruoshui and Feng Sanyan.Of course, the other children couldn't be negligent, and they each gave out a bunch of small whitebait as rewards.

When the lights came on, the Xu family’s Lantern Festival banquet was also ready. This time, they were seated smoothly. No one questioned who moved whose chair. The dishes were exquisite, and the Lantern Festival was also very delicious. , it can be called a joyous experience.

After the meal, Mrs. Zheng served green tea to the whole family to relax, and asked a group of children to light lanterns in the yard. Fireworks were set off in the palace at this time, and it was a feast for the country and the people.

Xu Jingxuan didn't drink tea, and didn't go to play with lanterns. He apologized to Mrs. Zheng and drank the medicine that Lily just brought over.

The matter happened right in front of Master Xu and Mrs. Zheng's eyes. Xu Jingxuan hadn't taken a few sips of medicine, but suddenly coughed violently and spit out a big mouthful of blood.

"This medicine is poisonous..."

Xu Jingxuan spat out the four words with difficulty, and was so breathless that he spread out on the chair.

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

Aunt Cui stepped forward to support Xu Jingxuan, but she didn't care about the dirt, she twisted the handkerchief with her fingers and vomited out the medicine Xu Jingxuan had taken, and gave Xu Jingxuan a lot of water to drink.

Xu Renwei made a decisive decision and ordered: "Shanhua, please go to the west chamber and invite Dr. Liu to come. Steward Liu, let everyone who enters and exits the back kitchen and front yard today not tamper with, especially the slave who is in charge of decocting the eldest son tonight." ! Everything that Eldest Young Master ate just now cannot be moved, everything can only be dealt with after Dr. Liu has seen it."

Someone dared to poison his eldest son!

Mrs. Zheng hurriedly summoned the children who were playing around in the yard and the aunts who went to take care of the children together, and asked them one by one if there was any abnormality in their bodies. After knowing that there was no problem, she was relieved, and then looked at Xu Jingxuan Seeing that although his face was pale, he was still awake, so he felt a little relieved.

"Master, this time the Lantern Festival family banquet is being hosted by my concubine. It is not surprising that such a dirty thing happened. I hope that this matter must be investigated, otherwise how will I be in charge of the nobles in the future."

When this happened suddenly, Zheng's face was innocent, even Xu Jingchun beside her was also pale, and Xu Jinghe had an artificial panic on his face.

Third Aunt Feng looked at Xu Jingxuan who was lying down and shivered; Fourth Aunt Liu felt lingering fear, and wrapped her child in her arms wholeheartedly.

At this time, Steward Liu and Doctor Liu had arrived in a hurry and gave Xu Jingxuan his pulse.

Dr. Liu knew what was on his mind, he took a breath and said: "My lord, Wanfu, the eldest son, the poison is not fatal, it only entered the body a little. Fortunately, Second Aunt Cui handled it wisely, and let the eldest son spit out most of the poison, drink a few sticks The antidote cures."

Xu Renwei let out a sigh of relief, and said, "Doctor Liu will check again, where did the poison come from."

Doctor Liu naturally obeyed.

In a suffocating silence, Dr. Liu checked all the food, tea, soup and medicine that was imported at the family banquet, and then transferred to the back kitchen, and returned to the front yard after a stick of incense.

"Reporting to my lord, according to the old man's investigation, no poison was found in the back kitchen, in the tea water of the dishes on the table, or even in the medicine residue in the back kitchen. The poison in the eldest son comes from the soup and medicine on the table."
