Chu Xiaoxiao was thrown into a book, reincarnating as a cannon fodder meant to be drowned shortly after birth. Outraged, she saved herself and vowed to change her family’s doomed fate.
...From now on, never underestimate any grass in the Prince Qin's Palace, because they might be a miraculous medicine that can cure some disease.
I appreciate your advice.
I really learned a lot.
No wonder the Imperial Master, after hearing about the wound on his body, looked around and plucked a herb for him. It turned out that it was not just a random pluck, but a real medicine to treat his wound.
Come to think of it, the Chu family are all military generals, so it's nothing to plant some grass in the yard to treat various injuries. It's just that he is short-sighted.
The next time he went to the Prince of Qin's Palace, he would be careful not to trample on any blade of grass.
They are all miracle drugs!
Maybe it can save someone's life.
With a national teacher, Dongsheng will surely become more and more powerful.
Chu Xiaoxiao was brought to the Du family by Li Sizu. The gate of the mansion looked good, but the doorman and the servant who swept the fallen leaves were wearing patched clothes. If you didn't know them, you would think they were hired beggars.
The charcoal-haired man looked at Li Sizu sympathetically and said, "Your maternal family is too shabby. The servants' clothes are all patched up. Isn't it embarrassing to tell others about it?"
Li Sizu shook his head: "It's not shameful, it just makes my grandfather look frugal."
[He is quite frugal. He patched a pair of underwear five times and still couldn't bear to throw it away. There is no such frugal father-in-law in the world. ]
“Hahaha! Hahaha!…”
The charcoal-haired man put his hands on his hips and laughed, ignoring Li Sizu's ugly expression. He just thought it was funny. A pair of pants patched five times? A father-in-law of the emperor, the prime minister, couldn't even afford underwear. Isn't that funny?
When the doorman saw that it was the prince who came, he quickly opened the door to welcome him. The completely different scenes inside and outside the door made the little boy open his eyes wide and his mouth opened into a "0".
[Ahaha! The Prime Minister's Mansion is still playing the game of all show and no substance? How interesting. The door looks tall and imposing, but when I open the door and take a look, oh my god! What the hell is going on? ]
No wonder Naituanzi complained and joked in his heart, the Du family was really too poor. The courtyard was overgrown with weeds, tattered everywhere, and covered with layers of fallen leaves, and no one cleaned it up.
The artificially dug lake was overgrown with all kinds of aquatic plants, with no one to trim them. The paint on the veranda was peeling, and the figures, flowers and birds on the murals were blurred.
In order to save money, the Du family did not dare to hire more slaves because they simply could not afford it.
There was only one study room in the front yard that was decent, and the rest was in a state of disrepair. Prime Minister Du's family never entertained guests because they were too poor to afford it.
The women in the backyard were all pale and thin, even Mrs. Du was as thin as a paper figure. Seeing the three bright and beautiful, fair-skinned children coming in, they all showed envy in their eyes.
Especially when they looked at Chu Xiaoxiao's chubby, festive face, they felt a little ashamed. Looking at her, and then looking at themselves, they were all children of the first-rank officials in the court, and her face was full of rosy glow, while they were almost unrecognizable due to being so thin.
In the entire Du family, only Prime Minister Du can eat a full stomach every day. The emperor is really afraid that he will become too thin due to hunger and make him unhappy.
I don’t know what kind of misfortune the Du family has suffered over the years. It’s like a ghost has haunted the house. Any good thing will disappear in the blink of an eye.
No matter whether it was gold, silver, jade, rice, flour, grain, oil, cloth, or bedding, as long as it was slightly better, it would all disappear automatically.
She thought that the servants in the mansion had stolen it, but they searched and searched, but nothing was found. Mrs. Du didn't believe it, and she held the gold and silver in her arms several times when she slept, but when she woke up the next morning, it was still gone.
During that time, I don’t know how many monks and Taoists were invited to my house to perform rituals, but the thefts became even more severe. Even the things in the warehouse were taken away, and there was nothing left.
The entire Prime Minister's Mansion was cleaner than if it had been washed by a flood. Although the daughter was the queen, she had been tortured by the queen mother in the past few years and was even imprisoned in the cold palace.
Things have been better in the past two years. The rewards cannot be kept overnight. They will be gone in the blink of an eye, no matter where they are placed.
It shouldn't be there.
Later, Prime Minister Du gave up and refused to allow the Queen to give him any more rewards. He could not keep them anyway, so it was useless to give them. His salary was just enough for him to eat.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince! Master Imperial Master! You are here! Come inside and sit down."
Mrs. Du led a group of people in the backyard who were almost as thin as bamboo poles to come and pay their respects, which once again made Milk Ball open its mouth into a "0".
[Oh my! What has the Du family done to us? Why do they all look so unlucky? ]
Li Sizu: “…”
Then please help me find out what happened to my grandparents.
The charcoal-haired man frowned and looked around, but couldn't see anything.
We went to the backyard and sat down to drink tea. The water was good, but the tea was not good, and it tasted astringent and bitter.
Chu Xiaoxiao took a sip, her facial features wrinkled into buns, she put down the tea bowl, and quietly spit out the tea in her mouth. It was too bitter, really, she couldn't stand it.
Black-haired guy didn't drink it. He thought the tea looked very unpalatable and simply refused.
Li Sizu drank it. This was his maternal grandmother's home and he couldn't make his grandmother unhappy, so he had to drink it no matter how bad it tasted.
After finishing his tea, Li Sizu stood up and saluted Mrs. Du: "Grandmother! Please ask the Imperial Master to come to our house today to find out why the Du family has become so impoverished."
When Madam Du heard this, her eyes lit up and she bowed to Chu Xiaoxiao: "Then I would like to thank the Imperial Master."
The little girl shook her head and said in a baby voice, "Tell me the reason."
Mrs. Du didn't understand, so the charcoal-haired man spoke up: "Madam, why don't you tell me when this situation started to happen at home, so that my master can make a judgment."
Mrs. Du nodded and recalled: "This situation has been going on for several years. At the beginning, it was just bad luck. Everything I did lost money. Later, I slowly lost all my huge fortune.
Then, inexplicable things happened. For some reason, everything in the warehouse disappeared overnight. After that, it was even worse. No matter what was in the house, there was no surplus. If there was anything, it would disappear automatically.
It has gotten even worse over the past six months, to the point where more and more of our rice for three meals a day is taken away, leaving only enough for our family to get enough food.
I don’t know what’s going on. I invited many monks and Taoist priests to come to my house, but it didn’t help at all. The condition is getting worse and worse. Many servants don’t dare to stay in the house, and they all redeem themselves and leave.”
The milk ball frowned and looked around, then turned to look at the black-haired man and gave him instructions.
[You should check around first. It is definitely not easy to move the warehouse overnight. The Du family is unlucky enough. Not only did someone change their feng shui, but they also provoked that stingy and greedy thing. What do you think it will do? ]
Li Sizu: “…”
Stingy and greedy? What is that? Sister Xiaoxiao! Why don’t you tell me?
[Ask her, is there anyone in the Du family who always makes a fortune? Or is there anyone who is extremely lucky? Who often gets unexpected money? ]
The charcoal-haired man asked immediately, without wasting a second: "Mrs. Du! Is there anyone in the Du family who has made a lot of money in recent years?"
