From time to time, Wei Rong looked out and sat on a rosewood armchair, moving his body.
"Does brother Rong have something on his mind?" Wei ruoyi picked up the melon seeds that Wei Yan peeled for her, stuffed them into his mouth, chewed the melon seeds, and then asked slowly.
The melon seeds are freshly stir fried. They are still warm when they are put on a plate. They chew very dry and taste addictive. They can't stop at all.
Suddenly, Wei ruoyi called, and Wei Rong looked a little surprised. You know, since he returned from Lishan academy, Wei ruoyi has never liked him, and rarely took the initiative to talk to him.
He sat up straight, smiled and replied, "No." the old lady and the rest of the room stopped talking and looked at him. He looked a little more anxious. But he lowered his head and tried to suppress it.
"Then there are nails on the chair?" Wei Ruo Yi slipped his eyes. "Green Rui, go and see for brother Rong. Is there anything wrong with the cushion and chair?"
"Yes." green Rui Fu for a moment. Just about to go to Wei Rong, he saw Wei Rong quickly wave his hand to Wei ruo's clothes. "Where will it?" he sat straight again, "elder sister, why do you say that."
"The whole family are waiting for Xin'er. When father returns home in triumph and goes to the door to meet him, everyone sits here peacefully, even Grandma is with us. Why are you sitting there? What's the big deal more important than father's return to the house?" Wei ruoyi asked with a frown.
The old lady didn't notice what Wei Rong was doing at first. At this time, she couldn't help frowning a little and was a little unhappy after listening to Wei ruoyi's words.
Wei Rong hated Wei ruoyi from the bottom of his heart, but he couldn't show it in full view of the public. He had to lean over and hug his grandmother again, "Grandma, the grandson is not like what the elder sister said. The grandson is worried about his father's triumph. The grandson has been thinking about his father for many days. Now the father's triumph is imminent and the grandson is waiting, so he looks a little restless."
The old lady eased her look.
"I know you are all good children." she is in a good mood today, with a red smile on her face, "Don't worry, wait slowly. Your majesty will spend a lot of time leading all civil and military officials out of the city. When they enter the city, there will be people in the capital to meet them, which will still delay a lot of time. Your majesty is generous. Let's wait in our own house because there are too many people in the street. I'm afraid there will be a collision with our family. Wait. It's so long Time is waiting, and I don't care if I wait more. "
"Yes, grandma taught me," Wei Rong said with a fist.
He sat back safely. This time he was honest for a while, and the people in the room continued to talk and laugh.
Wei ruoyi knows what Wei Rong is worried about.
According to the previous practice, Wei Rong should have gone out to take a carriage to the mysterious place in the suburbs of Beijing.
What on earth is there in that place that attracts Wei Rong so much.
Wei ruoyi was really curious. The day before yesterday, she took advantage of Xiao Jin's presence to find Xiao Jin and asked him to help find out what Wei Rong was doing in the house. Is it necessary to go every day for tea at leisure? It's obviously a ghost rhythm.
Everyone waited in the vestibule for another moment. Outside, a woman came in with a happy look on her face. After coming in, she gave everyone a gift, "if you go back to the old lady, your highness, aunts, young masters and young ladies, our master's men have arrived at the Changting. The little boy sent by our family has just sent a letter back."
The old lady stood up excitedly. Although this was not Wei Yi's first expedition, every time a military general left home, it was a great luck and honor to be able to return triumphantly. Especially this time, Wei Yi directly destroyed another country. It took a very short time and made brilliant achievements.
"But really?" the old lady asked excitedly. Wei ruoyi quickly stood up and helped his grandmother.
"Really. How dare the old slave make fun of such a thing?" the woman smiled. "The young man who came back to report said that our master is so beautiful that his majesty has to leave the Dragon chariot himself and help each other with both hands. The old lady is blessed."
"Reward!" the old lady said happily to Aunt LAN, who was sitting at the bottom of her head. "Today, everyone in our purple Marquis house has rewards! Lan'er, write it down for me."
"Yes, old lady." aunt LAN smiled and nodded.
"The master not only came back by himself, but also escorted the Kurdish royal family and others back in a wooden prison car. It is said that he also brought back countless gold, silver and jewelry, all of which are Kurdish." the woman said happily. "If you want to talk about military achievements, our purple Marquis house is the only one in the Daliang Dynasty. Who can have more military achievements than our master."
"Just shut the door and talk about it. Don't go out and talk nonsense." my mouth couldn't close.
"Yes." everyone in the room answered.
"Don't stand. Sit down and wait. It will take some time to enter the city." the old lady happily raised her hand and pressed it. Then everyone sat back in their seats again.
Xiao Jin stood outside the hall, hesitated for a moment, pulled a servant girl and whispered a few words. The servant girl blushed and nodded. Then she entered the room. She walked behind Wei ruoyi and gave Wei ruoyi what Xiao Jin asked her to tell her. Wei ruoyi put down the melon seeds, wiped her hands with a handkerchief, and asked the eldest brother to rest and don't peel them, Then he got up and went outside the door.
"Do you want to see me?" Wei ruoyi saw Xiao Jin standing in an inconspicuous corner of the corridor as soon as he went out.
"Well." Xiao Jin nodded. He looked outside the door, "go over there for a walk."
"Oh." Wei ruoyi followed him like a stream.
"The house you asked me to help you check is really a little strange." when she came to a deserted place, Xiao Jin stopped and whispered to Wei ruoyi. "Not only did Wei Rong of your family go there every day, but I also found that two princes of the Duke of the state of Wu and several princes of the important officials in the court will go there on time every day. Anyone who goes there will have a keepsake. No one is allowed to come near unless he holds the keepsake."
"I followed Wei Rong that day. I've seen it." Wei ruoyi nodded. "It's just that I'm too far away to see what it looks like."
"Well." Xiao Jin nodded, "there may be a prostitute in it."
Wei ruoyi... Rao has a thick face and thick skin. Now she can't help but feel a little hot on her cheek. "How old is Wei Rong this year? Where are you going?"
"It's estimated that it's not just a prostitute." Xiao Jin said slowly. "Have you ever heard of a thing called wushisan?"
Five stone powder? Wei ruoyi suddenly widened his eyes. Isn't that a "drug" used by ancient people in legend?
"Do you mean there are five stones scattered there?" Wei Ruo Yi asked in surprise.
"Yes." Xiao Jin nodded solemnly. "Five stone powder was popular in the previous dynasty. After taking it for a long time, it was not only addictive, but also irritable and crazy. Tyrants and nobles in the previous dynasty took it. After the founding emperor of our Dynasty won the world, it has been explicitly forbidden to take it. Even if someone used it, it was sneaky over the years. It seems that someone in that house is using it openly. Although I didn't find any evidence, but the people I sent saw them wearing hair, loose clothes and loose bodies. They looked very much like after taking five stone powder. "
Wei Ruo Yi really knows the five stone powder. The main formula is stone milk, purple quartz, sulfur, hematite and white quartz. It is named for some reason. It was originally a medicine for treating typhoid fever, but it was accidentally discovered by intelligent people and opened the door to new skills. Taking Wushi powder is not only addictive, but also has a little effect of strengthening yang and health, so it is very confusing. This Wei ruoyi has seen it when reading miscellaneous notes.
The literati and nobles of the former dynasty were proud to take the five stone powder. After taking it, they wore their hair and clothes. Many of them also gathered together to eat this kind of food. After eating it, they indulged and honored the Royal daughter.
The collapse of the former dynasty can be said to have a little connection with the abuse of wushisan.
If you eat too much of this stuff, your temper will become more and more irritable, so that you can't control your anger. There were two crazy emperors in the previous dynasty. They were all caused by taking this kind of thing. After they became addicted, they had to take it every day, and their temper became more and more strange. The most famous one once set up a copper tripod in front of the hall, with firewood all the year round. There was boiling oil in the copper tripod. If anyone provoked the crazy emperor of the previous dynasty, he would ask someone to directly throw people into the copper tripod for cooking, so in the end, it had developed to the point where talking about tripods turned pale.
However, the man himself didn't come to any good end. His brother was trembling all day, even if he was thrown into the bronze tripod and fried himself one day, so he simply combined with the courtiers, drunk the crazy emperor while drinking once, and then everyone worked together to throw the crazy emperor into the bronze tripod and fried it.
As soon as the mad emperor died, the previous dynasty fell apart, and all localities supported and respected their soldiers. Everyone wanted to be emperor, so they fell into a long-term civil strife.
After the founding emperor of the Daliang Dynasty ascended the throne, he once issued a ban to destroy all the five stone powder formulas in public, so as not to let this prescription continue to harm others and themselves. Once someone is found to develop and sell this kind of thing, they will be executed as long as they are verified. Those who abuse the five stone powder will be forced to detoxify, fined five years of corvee, or fined 500 gold. However, anyone who takes the five stone powder is addicted to it, no matter how talented and learned he is, he is not allowed to take any more examinations to become an official in the DPRK. Those who take Wushi powder as an official will be stripped of their official posts and will never be hired. Some people in the family are addicted to taking this kind of thing. Even close relatives also have a charge of unfavorable supervision. Those with official positions will be reduced, and those without official positions will also be punished, beaten or fined.
