Thinking of this, it seems that Gu Zhi's painting is finally calming down. The frustration of being shocked by Gu Jia and Shen Zhongbai is relieved, and he turns around and leaves.
Gu Gu turns his head. Shen Qianshan is sitting in the pavilion with something in his hand. Looking at the lotus pond in front of him, he seems to be feeding fish.
He went to ask Shen Qianshan an an. He put down what he had in his hand and looked at Gu Jia for a long time. Finally he said, "you and I don't have to be so polite."
Then he pointed to the stone stool on the opposite side. Gu was stunned and had to sit on it.
"Since the Lord is here today, I have a matter that I need your help. Can you..." Gu Jia said while looking forward to Shen Qianshan. The latter's eyes were originally looking around, as if they were enjoying the scenery of the house. She wanted Shen Qianshan to ask what was going on, but she didn't expect Shen Qianshan to nod and say, "OK."
"The minister has not said what is the matter, the Lord agreed?" Gu Gu asked in surprise.
Shen Qianshan turned his head and said to Gu Jia's eyes affectionately: "as long as you say the requirements, all are good."
Gu Jia didn't take Shen Qianshan's words to heart. Recently, his reaction was always a little strange, as if it was her suggestion.
In the evening, Shen Qianshan and Gu Jia both put on black clothes. One man and one horse went to the Suxin hall with Suxin grass. This palace is the same as shenqianshan's Xiaoyao hall, both in the deep mountains.
In the mountains of the capital, there are often such palaces, which are usually used as places for the cultivation of the prince. During the summer vacation, the emperor or the imperial concubine will come over. However, many of these palaces have their own housekeeping skills.
Gu Jia didn't know these things before. Shen Qianshan talked to her all the way.
In the evening, two people's horses were tied to the tree at the foot of the mountain. Shen Qianshan raised his head and moved his chin. Then he said faintly: "follow this road to the Suxin hall. The Suxin grass you are looking for is over there."
Gu Jia reached out and knocked on her leg. She even felt that the leg was not her own. It was a long way to go. She was able to stick to it, which made her feel a little surprised.
The road to the mountain twists and turns. I don't know the smell of flowers around. It's very fragrant and light. It's very comfortable to smell. Shen Qianshan walks by Gu Jia's side for fear that she will fall down from the mountain because of her fatigue.
The sky is gradually dark, black in the spread, fog in the naked eye can see the speed of rise, and finally the whole mountain is covered.
There is the sound of small insects, it seems more quiet around. Shen Qianshan turned his head and asked softly, "how do you know that suxincao can solve the plague?"
Gu Gu was probably tired from walking. Sitting on the stone beside him, he said carelessly: "if the Suxin grass can't detoxify, the people in the Suxin hall will not be so precious."
It sounds like a wrong answer, but Shen Qianshan doesn't care so much anyway. No matter what method is adopted and whether it is useful or not, he has to try it. He doesn't know which decision can change the current situation. This is what Shen Qianshan immediately followed after hearing Gu Jia's proposal.
Although he was nervous about Gu, Shen Qianshan was no less worried about the country than Gu.
After walking for a period of time, the road finally widened, and then on the top of the mountain not far away was a black building, which was magnificent and huge, like a wild animal lurking in the quiet night, with its mouth wide open. Waiting for prey to be caught.
Since the door is closed, no matter what the situation is, you have to stand in the door.
Shen Qianshan seemed to feel Gu Jia's nervousness, so he stretched out his hand and motioned for her to put his hand up. However, he did not expect that she just took a look and walked in first.
The blue gate is very solemn. At this time, because it is already dark, after entering, there is a long corridor made of stone. The buildings on both sides are very style. At the end of the stone road, there is a hall. Gu Gu Gu can't ignore the strange eyes of the people around him, so he goes to the hall with Shen Qianshan.
There was a middle-aged man sitting in the chair in the middle of the hall. The man was wearing blue clothes, which was very similar to the clothes of other people in the hall. It should be the uniform clothes of the Suxin hall.
Standing in this hall, the lights around him flicker and stretch Gu's shadow very long. The hall is very empty, surrounded by tables and chairs, you can see that it is used for meeting guests. The man sat there playing with a bead in his hand. Because he played with it for a long time, the bead was shining with different light. In this dark hall, it showed different light, which made people unable to move their eyes.
The man slowly raised his head, narrowed his eyes, and glanced around Gu Jia and Shen Qianshan. This is a man about 40 years old. His appearance is not outstanding, and he doesn't even have the domineering and aura that he should have in that position.
Gu Jia on the man's eyes, the heart has already known the character of this man.
The man's age was there, and he didn't look very reliable. I look at people casually and seem to be arrogant. If this man is the master of the Suxin palace, it is basically difficult to get suxincao today.The man took his eyes back, and then played with his beads again. He said carelessly, "what's the matter with you two coming to my plain heart hall?"
As a matter of fact, men ask questions. Those who can come to the Suxin palace want to have some herbs in it. No matter what kind of palace they are, they have trump cards in their hands, so that they can have a place in the capital city. It happens that the palace of Suxin is such a palace, in which several herbs can be said to be panacea. Many diseases add these herbs to pills Herbal medicine, no problem with any disease.
Of course, I have the best idea of what I can take advantage of. There are a lot of people coming to the Suxin hall. Men are not surprised. No matter the royal family or the people, or businessmen, there are many people who want herbal medicine. Here, there is no need to give face.
Shen Qianshan said to the man, "it's a bit presumptuous to come this time, but because there is a plague in the capital, I heard that the suxincao in the temple can relieve the plague, so..."
Before Shen Qianshan's words were finished, the man sneered, put the beads in his hands on the table, looked up helplessly at the ceiling, and said, "all the people who come to my Suxin hall want these herbs. If you give them, will not everyone want them? If we don't give it, it seems that we don't know how to save people at all. In fact, it's very difficult for us to do so. "
Then he turned his head and looked at Shen Qianshan. It seemed that he was trying to point him out.
How can Shen Qianshan not know the meaning of this? He said to the man, "what do you want?"
The man found that Shen Qianshan was not a fool. The people who came before could understand his own hints as much as he did. In addition, some people could not meet their own requirements even if they understood the hints.
"What can you give me?" The man asked.
Shen Qianshan stood quietly and looked at the man. When he looked at the man's eyes, he was very quiet. He didn't flinch at all. In the capital, his financial resources were OK, and his ability was natural. As long as the man's requirements were not too excessive, he could try himself.
"If your request is worthy of suxincao, I can satisfy you." Shen Qianshan said.
It doesn't work to be indecisive here, so Shen Qianshan decides to take the initiative to ask the man what he means.
As soon as the man listened to Shen Qianshan's words, he knew that this man was not a simple little role. Since he wanted to relieve the plague, he must be a royal person.
It's better to take advantage of this opportunity to extort money, so that the brothers of the pure heart hall can live a good life.
The man made up his mind and immediately changed his face. He said to Shen Qianshan, "we don't want much. How about 100000 taels of silver?"
This is really a lion's big mouth, such shameless words, the hall master also means to say, let Shen Qianshan embarrassed, even if he is willing to, Shen Qianshan is embarrassed to give.
Of course, a hundred thousand taels of silver is nothing to Shen Qianshan, but he has to make sure that the master of the temple can really give himself the grass for his heart, not something else.
"If you can give me enough suxincao, I can think about it." Shen Qianshan said slowly. He looked up at the hall master. The man's expression didn't look very good.
There seems to be a conspiracy.
Sure enough, the man said with a smile: "suxincao is not what I can give you. It needs to be picked up by yourself. It grows in the mountain behind us. The road is winding and steep. There are poisonous insects and wild animals on the mountain. It is not easy to get it."
Is this for Shen Qianshan to take Gu Jia with him? What the LORD said was true. He suddenly felt cheated.
Turn to look at Gu Jia, at this time only she decides whether to continue or return.
Gu Gu coldly looked at the master of the temple and asked calmly, "what you say is your word. If we get suxincao, will it belong to us?"
The master nodded: "of course, as long as you give me 100000 taels of silver."
Gu Jia didn't have so much money anyway, but the hall master's intention was to ask them to go up the mountain to collect herbs after they paid the money, which was totally to embarrass them. In fact, the original intention of the temple master was that he didn't want to give the medicine. He was deliberately making difficulties. Anyone can see this trick.
Silence, Gu Jia frowned and nodded, and said to the hall master, "lead the way."
The temple master didn't expect that the girl agreed. In fact, to tell the truth, this is originally a fire pit. If they come out alive, they must take money. If they die in it, it has nothing to do with the Suxin hall.
After all, the right to choose is their own.
