Cao Xiwan was very unhappy. She sat in a chair in the back room with a sullen face, and a strand of her hair was burned.
The lights were lit in the room, and Madam Yang suppressed her laughter while putting on her clothes and applying medicine on her forehead.
Cao Xiwan had a small blister on her forehead. She was burned by lamp oil.
"I was almost disfigured -" she roared at Chen Ming and pointed to her forehead, "I'm bald -! Bald -!"
Chen Ming suppressed his laughter and saw that where she was pointing, there was a bald spot on his forehead the size of a fingertip, and his hair had been burned off by the fire.
He leaned on the wall and laughed.
Cao Xiwan was furious and asked Chen Ming to make pills for her immediately.
Madam Yang looked at the two puppets curiously. She didn't expect Cao Xi to bring someone here in the middle of the night: "Do they want tea?"
"Haha——" Xiao Wu puppet said [This person doesn't look smart.]
Cao Xiwan stopped him: "Haha!" [Want to be kicked out? You can't play with Xiao Ming.]
Madam Yang looked at Cao Xiwan in amazement. Madam Cao was actually communicating with a dementia patient.
Madam Yang and the puppet looked at each other sympathetically.
"Sister-in-law, please rest, they don't have tea." She took out Liu Ruhai's "New Puppet Methods" and asked Chen Ming to stay up late at night to read it and study hard. She emphasized: "It must be useful. This is expected to be a new drug that can treat puppets."
The prescription, written by Liu Ruhai with potion, must be very important."
"He wrote it with potion, how did you copy it?"
"I have a puppet with me. I saw it secretly a while ago. So I went to the garden and rummaged through the trash and got a little bit of used potion paper. I can get this too."
"...Have you washed your hands after digging through the trash?"
"..." she roared, "I am so dedicated to my duties, how dare you despise me!? Do you know how difficult it is to get Liu Ruhai's garbage? I went to his yard and never picked up any useful garbage. Just this potion
, he has at least seventy or eighty kinds of potions! I’ve been digging through the trash for two years and can’t find any potions for writing secrets of rebellion!”
Liu Ruhai knew that Sister Huo would pick up trash and check it out, which was Fanzi's way of looking for clues. But once, he saw his neighbor Cao Xiwan sneaking into his house sneakily and looking through his trash.
He felt that it was thanks to Song Chengming's marriage to Lou Shuluan that he aroused the suspicion of the loyal and brave Cao Xiwan and diverted most of her attention. Otherwise, he would have bribed His Majesty's trusted minister Li Guogong under the surveillance of Jinyi Yamen.
It's really a difficult thing.
He also took a green canopy and sailed down the river from the capital to Shangyuan County Pier.
His Qingpeng boat was a two-cabin passenger boat. It was exquisite and clean. It was countless times more elegant than the shabby passenger boat that Qu Ba's wife took.
He got off the boat and stayed in a shabby little shop at the pier in Shangyuan County. On the river beach a hundred feet away, Sister Qu's little shabby boat was her home, quietly bathing in the moonlight and waves.
He entered the store, glanced at it, and pointed to the room: "I live in that room."
He and Cao Xiwan chose the same shop and the same shabby room because it was best to hear the sounds of horses coming and going on the official road from the window of this small shop.
The person waiting for him in the store was no stranger. He was Mr. Wang, Li Guogong's confidant.
"My father-in-law has opened a shop in front of us and asked Mr. Liu to come over and discuss things with us."
Eunuch He was traveling with Liu Ruhai. Hearing these words, he couldn't help but worry secretly: "Manager, this is near the dock and the official road. There are many people and many eyes -"
"It doesn't matter."
With the sound of horse hoofbeats, Liu Ruhai wears a cloak and hood and walks along the river. The moonlight is clear tonight, and the reeds under the moon are like patches of silver waves.
Liu Ruhai saw the place where Duke Li Guogong was. It was a simple water pavilion with elm wood piles and light golden reed mats.
Liu Ruhai dismounted and walked towards the rear pavilion near the river.
On the way, amid the moonlight and the waves, he heard a deliberately distant and mysterious guqin string sound called "Wind in the Pines", and he couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Li Guogong was not as good as Song Chengming.
He also secretly harbors disloyal intentions and is swaying between left and right. Li Guogong has not yet chosen whom to be loyal to, and is still waiting for a price. It is inevitable that people will look at both sides, but Song Chengming is the one who hides the deepest.
Liu Ruhai still hasn't figured out who he supports and who he has taken refuge in? His purpose is just to take the Nankang Marquis Mansion one step further and seal the country as a king. Moreover, Song Liangdi was born in a eldest house and is not his biological daughter.
He must have his own little calculation.
If he didn't have very big intentions, he would never fall out with his confidant, the female ghost Qingluo.
What did Cao Xiwan think? What conspiracy did she discover?
Especially this time, Song Chengming recruited his confidants from all over the country, such as the brother who was in charge of the second company.
Liu Ruhai speculated that most of these people were old friends of Qingluo Nvgui. In order to deal with Cao Xiwan, Song Chengming sent them away two years ago.
Now these people are being called back one after another because he and Cao Xiwan shook hands and made peace again?
Not to mention whether Song Chengming could let his slaves step on his head, Cao Xiwan's petty revenge was extremely twisted and perverted. Did she believe Song Chengming like this?
Chen Zhai.
Madam Yang entered the back room with two more glasses of water and looked at Xiao Wen and Xiao Wu curiously: "Would you like some water?"
Cao Xiwan realized that Mrs. Yang treated the puppet as a toy for everyone to play with.
"...Has she always been so arrogant?" she asked Chen Ming quietly.
"Yes." Chen Ming smiled and nodded.
Cao Xiwan was right. Madam Yang was not big-hearted. She would not wait until she was thirty before getting married, nor would she let her clan members inquire about Chen Ming for a whole year to take a fancy to his character.
Only get engaged if you can get by.
If Mrs. Yang was not big-hearted, she would not have taken a fancy to Chen Ming. Cao Xiwan thought, how ugly Chen Ming is - no, Chen Ming is not that handsome. Even a good friend has to admit this.
Thanks to Mrs. Yang, otherwise no one would want Chen Ming.
——Feng Xiaochu is a puppet, not a human being.
"Are you saying bad things about me in your heart again?" Chen Ming saw through it sharply.
"No, I praised Madam Yang in my heart. Your wife is really nice. She is considerate and gentle. Of course, I only said in my heart that I am a stupid person." She said quietly and loudly.
Madam Yang turned to look at her, pursed her lips and smiled.
"..." Chen Ming looked at her suspiciously, took her new medicine prescription and read it, and was surprised, "What a brilliant prescription, and this acupuncture method, this is the first time I have seen it!"
Hum. She thought to herself that this set of acupuncture techniques was developed by Eunuch Kai in order to practice the Ten Thousand Methods Demon Embryo Skill. He just wanted to keep it and pass it on to future generations to show off that he was particularly capable.
This was probably an improvement from the secrets of the Tianshan Ice Palace. Every magic palace has some unique skills in medicine and medicine. She was too lazy to ask for it. She just told Grandma Yan about it.
But Liu Ruhai had good eyesight, so he cried and asked her to go there, and the result was that he used it to match the prescription to treat Feng Xiaochu.
Did he come up with a new method? She felt that all the credit was hers. She felt confident in stealing the recipe.
"Is it useful?" she asked Chen Ming.
"It should be. The recipe of this pill can be changed again. Now take ten pills for ten days and use acupuncture once a day. It should be able to be cured initially. At least it will be the same as the companion you mentioned. What do you think?
Why don't you bring the puppet companion over and let me see it?"
She pretended not to hear.
"Can't you take just one pill and be cured immediately?" She was dissatisfied, "Isn't Liu Ruhai's medical skills good?"
"..." Chen Ming looked at her sideways, "You don't have the guts to say that if you don't know medical skills."
She was not convinced. Why didn't she understand? Her meridian massage technique was specially used to treat rheumatism and bone pain in the elderly, and everyone praised it.
She also has a family background.
But she looked at Madam Yang, who was giving snacks to the puppet. Madam Yang had a slight bulge on her lower abdomen, which seemed to be three or four months old.
Madam Yang thinks puppets are fun.
"Would you like breakfast?"
Xiaowen actually nodded.
Cao Xiwan was startled: "Eh?" The female puppet could understand Madam Yang's words.
Chen Ming hurriedly went over to check: "This pair should be very strong?" The puppet did not respond at all to Chen Ming's words, and responded to Madam Yang obviously selectively.
"You think so too?" Cao Xiwan walked around Xiaowen and Xiaowu, looking left and right.
She thought that maybe the puppets who could escape from the elephant room in the palace garden were very strong and somewhat sane.
