Gu Jiao heard Qin Gonggong say that the relationship between his majesty and his aunt was very close at first, but later she gradually alienated.
It's hard for Duke Qin to tell exactly what happened. In a word, they are becoming more and more stiff. Princess Ning'an is in a dilemma. After his majesty ascended the throne, the Empress Dowager listened to the government behind the curtain, and sent Princess Jing to the nunnery. Their relationship was completely destroyed.
Seeing Gu Jiao's thoughtful appearance, Nan Xiang knew what she thought.
But she didn't ask much.
She likes Gu Xiaoshun and is willing to become a family member with Gu Xiaoshun. Naturally, she treats Gu Jiao differently, but she doesn't really take the airs of her elders to interfere in Gu Jiao's private affairs.
If Gu Jiao is willing to speak, she will listen; If it's inconvenient to tell, she won't ask.
Gu Jiao added: "Nanshi Niang, you just said that this herb is a kind of medicine, that is to say, it needs to be combined with medicine to use?"
"That's right, this kind of medicine is very rare among the six countries. It was originally..." Nan Xiang stopped and said with a smile, "it's a kind of magic drug of the Tang clan. There are white medicine and black medicine. At first, they were used to control some disobedient people. Later, they were forbidden by the elders of the Tang clan because of their too low means. But many people in the six countries coveted this prescription and stole it from the Tang clan. "
Tangmen.
Gu Jiao has heard of a new name.
Nanxiang continued: "however, even if there is a prescription, it is not so easy to refine the medicine. As far as I know, there is no doctor or pharmacist in the lower Kingdom who can match the prescription for the time being."
Gu Jiao asked, "has Nanshi Niang seen this prescription?"
Nanxiang sighed and shook his head: "I'm sorry, I haven't seen it."
Gu Jiao nodded and asked: "so... White medicine makes people feel good, black medicine makes people feel disgusted?"
Nanxiang said, "that's right."
After living two lives, she didn't know there was such medicine in the world. She was ignorant.
Gu Jiao became more and more interested and then asked, "how does this work? How can we make sure we don't get the wrong person? "
Nan Xiang Wen said with a smile: "as long as it's hand fed, generally it won't make a mistake."
So Gu Jiao understood that if this conjecture was true, then imperial concubine Jing personally fed the emperor with white medicine, while her aunt personally fed the emperor with black medicine.
My aunt certainly would not pit herself like this. At that time, my aunt had not set up a defense against Princess Jing. She should have been pit by Princess Jing.
Gu Jiao then said, "what's the matter with drug guidance? Is the guiding principle of black and white medicines the same? "
Nanxiang nodded with a smile: "the drug guide is the same. Some people are firm and not easy to be controlled by drugs. At this time, they need drugs to promote the efficacy. Of course, there is another situation, that is, after a long time, the efficacy is not stable enough, and the drug guide is also needed to deepen the efficacy. There's no need to take the medicine, just let people smell it from time to time. "
At the end of the conversation, you don't have to guess who gave the purse to Duke Wei.
Not to mention Gu Jiao picked up the money bag and smelled it. There was a strong smell of sandalwood on it, which was undoubtedly sent by the nunnery.
Gu Jiao weighed the purse in her hand and said: "Nanshi Niang's nose is really smart. She has such a strong smell of sandalwood that she can also smell the fragrance of medicine in it."
Nan Xiang said with a smile, "this is the same reason as your doctor's identification of medicinal materials."
People are always very sensitive to what they are familiar with. If it's Aconitum carmichaeli, I believe this little girl can smell it through sandalwood.
Gu Jiao looked at Nanxiang and said, "if you can recognize this kind of medicine, it seems that Nanshi Niang is not an ordinary person."
Nanxiang said with a smile: "this is the same as each other."
This little girl is not a soft persimmon to bully. She hides all her skills and is unknown.
Both of them are smart and witty. They respect each other's identities and secrets, and trust them will not hurt each other's families and themselves.
From the mouth of Nanxiang, Gu Jiao has a new understanding of this time and space. It turns out that there is not only a Turk but also a Tangmen outside the six countries.
The Tang clan lived in seclusion and did not associate with the six kingdoms. People in the Tang clan could not leave the Tang clan or enter the six kingdoms.
Of course, it is this kind of medicine that Nanxiang and Gujiao popularize most. No matter black medicine or white medicine, there is no specific antidote. As time goes by, it can only make the efficacy slowly disappear, or never disappear.
Gu jiaoruo thought: "what symptoms will appear when the efficacy disappears?"
Nanxiang shook his head: "I haven't seen the specific, only heard that there may be backfire, such as... Having nightmares."
What Nanxiang didn't say was that she might be a little insane, but after all, she didn't really see it. It's not necessarily someone else's nonsense.
Gu Jiao seriously thought about it. Duke Wei really said that the emperor couldn't sleep a while ago. Is it related to this?
She looked at the dried flowers on the table and said, "can the medicine guide prevent the efficacy from disappearing?"
"In theory, it's OK, but --" Nan Xiang touched a table of dried flowers. "One or two pieces of common medicine is enough. After using so many, it can only be said that the situation of the person who has been given medicine is very unstable, and the effect of medicine has been unable to recover. Unless the other party is going to give the person another dose. "
"Will it work next time?" Gu Jiao asked.
Nanxiang seriously thought: "there should be, but it's hard to say how much more."
So imperial concubine Jing really went to buy medicine yesterday. She planned to give the emperor another medicine, because no matter how effective it was, it would not be worse than now.
The imperial concubine Jing led the emperor to the nunnery for dinner last night. She should have planned to give him medicine, but unfortunately Gu Jiao was also present, which made the imperial concubine Jing helpless.
But Princess Jing will not give up. Gu Jiao thinks she will find another chance to get close to the emperor.
"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first and visit again some other day." After sitting for a while, Nan Xiang got up and left.
Gu Jiao and Gu Xiaoshun take her and Master Lu to the door.
When he got into the carriage, Master Lu sighed, "talking to that girl so much, aren't you afraid of exposing your identity?"
Nanxiang didn't care much and said, "what are you afraid of? The soldiers came to cover up the water and the earth. Soon she was our son's sister. When something happened to her, we couldn't just stand by. "
Master Lu took her hand and said, "it's not my selfishness, it's you who can put yourself in it again. I don't want to do that again. The Royal dispute should be settled by the Royal people. Don't wade in the muddy water. "
Nanxiang touched the disfigured face across the veil, laughed and said, "I know."
At night, except for the little clearance that had been taken captive to the Imperial Palace, the whole family came back. They were very happy to hear that Gu Xiaoshun recognized Master Lu and Nanxiang as different parents.
He cooked a large table of good dishes and celebrated Gu Xiaoshun's good life.
Gu Xiaoshun is very embarrassed. He is still in the clouds. How can he become the son of his master and his wife?
Gu Yan looked at the dishes in his bowl and said solemnly, "look, I'm not wrong. The nun has a crush on you."
Gu Xiaoshun
Is that what you mean?
After dinner, Yu ya'er takes the dishes to the backyard, and everyone starts to do their own things.
Gu Yan went to help Xiao Jingkong slide the chicken. He should have done it before dinner, but who made him procrastinate? He didn't go out until it was dark.
Gu Xiaoshun goes to straighten his wood. Xiao LIULANG goes back to his study. Gu Jiao waters the menu in the front yard.
Yao came over: "Jiaojiao."
"Well?" Gu Jiao looked at Yao while watering.
Yao's hand holding a box, look a little nervous and uneasy: "Jiaojiao, you come here."
"Good." Gu Jiao put down the kettle and came to the stone table. Yao had already sat down on a stone bench, so Gu Jiao sat beside her.
Yao put the box in his arms on the table and gently pushed it to Gu Jiao.
"What is this?" Gu Jiao asked strangely.
Yao's Mou Guang expects: "you open to have a look."
Gu Jiao raised her hand and opened the box. She found that all the jewelry in it was exquisite and of excellent quality.
"This is..." Gu Jiao didn't understand Yao's intention.
Yao settled down, summoned up courage, took Gu Jiao's hand and said, "it's for you."
"Why?" Gu Jiao asked.
Today is not a big day. Why do you give her so many jewelry?
Yao bowed his head, pinched his handkerchief and said, "I've wanted to give it to you for a long time. I've been worried that you don't want it."
These jewelry are not so expensive. Although the quality is good, they were all given to her by her grandmother before she went to the cabinet. I don't know how many years ago, the styles are old.
She didn't really live a miserable life, but the jewelry she bought from outside was not as meaningful as the one her grandmother gave her.
But she thought it was meaningful, and she didn't know whether her daughter would like it.
Besides, she doesn't want any daughters like Qian and Yin except making some clothes for her daughter every month.
Gu Jiao didn't speak.
Yao thought she was going to refuse and said, "no, it's not worth any money! It's all old jewelry! "
It's not worth it. What's worth it?
Gu Jiao didn't know much about ancient styles, but she knew gold. She sold a box of gold jewelry and could buy a small house in the capital.
Gu Jiao murmured: "it's very old..."
Yao Shi: "also, also not very old!"
Oh, what the hell is she talking about?
It's too valuable. I'm afraid she won't accept it; It's too worthless, and the gift doesn't have enough weight.
Yao has never been so tangled and distressed.
Gu Jiao lips corner a bend, smile: "good-looking, I like very much."
This is... Agreed to take it?
Yao's eyes brightened, and his heart, which had been hanging all night, was finally put down.
She couldn't help taking a long breath.
In fact, she is not so worried about her daughter's rejection of her gift as she is more concerned about her daughter's rejection of her kindness.
Gu Jiao went back to the east room and took out the jewelry in the box one by one.
As a stranger, she really likes these jewelry. They are all antiques.
She was enjoying it when Xiao LIULANG stopped at the door.
Gu Jiao is acutely aware of the breathing outside the door. She turns her head and looks at him. Her eyes are bright: "Xianggong."
A not mixed with any Yi read habitual address, shout Xiao LIULANG breathing almost confused.
Xiao LIULANG covered his heart, glanced over the jewelry on the table and covered his right hand with his wide sleeve.
"What did you take?" Gu Jiao is still sharp eyed to find.
"Nothing." Xiao LIULANG said, "I still have books to read."
He said, turning and leaving.
Gu Jiao put down her pearl hairpin, stepped forward and grabbed Xiao LIULANG's sleeve
Xiao Liu Lang light way: "said nothing."
Gu Jiaocai didn't believe it and reached for his right hand hidden under his wide sleeve.
Even though he wants to hide, how can he be Gu Jiao's opponent?
Gu Jiao quickly took the red rope from his hand.
This is a hand-made red rope. It has several small jade stones. The fineness of jade is not very good, but it is better than the exquisite craftsmanship of red rope.
"Is it for me?" Gu Jiao asked.
I've got it. There's no point denying it.
Xiao LIULANG gave a vague hum.
This is the way home from the Imperial Academy, he saw an old woman made it by herself. When the bright red came into his eyes, he almost immediately thought of her.
At that time, I didn't think much about it, so I thought it would look good on her.
But when she got home, she found out that she had so many valuable jewelry, that she was a poor hand rope
Gu Jiao handed him the red rope and her left wrist: "help me put it on."
Xiao LIULANG's eyelashes trembled, took the rope, fingertips accidentally touched her, a crisp feeling from fingertips to the bottom of my heart.
He put the red rope on her slender wrist.
The white wristband, which is as beautiful as coagulated fat jade, is set off by the brilliant red, which makes it extremely attractive.
