In the afternoon.
Su Qi woke up from a nap and sat in the study to check the accounts. Xiang He knocked on the door outside, "Madam, Mrs. Meng Dagui is here."
"Please go to the outer room." Su Qi closed the account book and put it in the drawer.
"yes."
Su Qi stood up and walked over. Huang Ruxin was sitting alone in the outer room.
Xiang He lifted the curtain and said with a crisp laugh, "Madam, Madam Meng is inside."
"Qiqi." Huang Ruxin stood up and bowed.
Su Qi also bowed in return, "Please sit down. How are you today?"
Xia He brought in two cups of rose tea, a plate of lotus cakes, and a plate of lotus root powder and osmanthus cakes.
She said in a charming voice, "Mrs. Huang, this is some newly minted rose water mixed with warm water. It makes a woman's complexion even better. Do you like it?"
Huang Ruxin picked it up and smelled it, then said softly:
"The girls around Qiqi are quite clever and skillful. This scent is very refreshing."
Su Qi exchanged a few words with Huang Ruxin and reached out to feel her pulse.
I tried acupuncture for a while.
Rolling up her sleeves for a closer look.
Su Qi picked up a silver needle and pricked the skin a little, and the smell there suddenly became much stronger.
See this.
Su Qi frowned and stared at Huang Ruxin's arm motionlessly. Su Qi didn't speak, and Huang Ruxin didn't speak either.
The two of them just stayed there quietly.
After a while.
Su Qi took the silver needles and performed acupuncture on her arm, and the silver needles formed a beautiful pattern.
As the last needle fell, Su Qi lightly flicked the end of the needle with her fingers.
Suddenly.
The silver needle swayed gently like wheat waves blown by the wind.
The tip of the needle swayed little by little.
Su Qi pondered for a while and wrote a prescription.
"Xianghe, come in."
Xiang He opened the curtain and walked in. "Madam, what can I do for you?"
Su Qi handed the prescription to Xiang He and said, "Go ask Bei Jing to get the medicine according to the prescription. Bring these medicines in powder form."
"Yes." Xianghe took the prescription and walked out.
Su Qi began to remove the needles from Huang Ruxin's eyes. "Ruxin, the medicine powder will be brought back soon. Remember to take it home and mix it with warm water. Add South China Sea pearl powder and apply it on your arm."
Before Huang Ruxin could say anything, Su Qi added, "I happened to get some pearls the other day. They're not big, so take them if you don't mind."
Huang Ruxin moved her lips, tears welling in her eyes as she said, "How could I dislike you? If I could escape, I would definitely repay you in the future."
"The medicine book you gave me is already very precious. It cannot be bought with any amount of silver."
Finished stitching.
Su Qi went into the inner room, took out a paper bag of pearls and handed it to Huang Ruxin. Just then, Xiang He came over with the medicinal powder made by Gu Beijing.
Huang Ruxin stood up and said goodbye. She walked to the door and turned to Su Qi and said, "Qiqi, I told Dagui everything last night. As you said, husband and wife should be of one mind and one heart."
Huang Ruxin left.
Su Qi went to the front yard again. She asked Ke Suanzi to ask about the progress of the girls in the villa outside Mingfeng Town.
Ke Suanzi was hiding in a corner outside the wall, chewing his food like a mouse.
When Su Qi found Ke Suanzi, he was eating snacks.
There were peanuts, candies, and a few chicken bones in front of him. He took the chicken bones in one hand and bit them with a crunch. When he saw Su Qi coming, he rubbed his back against the wall.
"Girl. What do you want to see me about?"
Su Qi was very curious, Ke Suanzi's stomach was like a bottomless pit.
"Master. I'm asking you how those girls are doing?"
Ke Suanzi shook his head and sighed, "It's difficult. You know, the drugs have seeped into their blood and brains. It will take some time."
"Don't worry. I go there first thing every morning."
Su Qi knew that Ke Suanzi was a man of his words.
He nodded and said nothing.
"Master. Do you know much about the Saintess of the Southern Li Kingdom?"
Ke Suanzi suddenly choked and started coughing violently. "Qiqi, aren't you living a good life on your own? Why do you have to get involved in all that?"
"It's not that I want to get involved, it's that I want to stay out of it, but I'm not allowed to. I can't wait until things happen and I'm powerless to deal with it."
Ke Suanzi muttered, "You are just too capable."
Thinking of what Master Ran said, Ke Suanzi told Su Qi what he knew.
The poison techniques of the Nanli Kingdom originated from a branch of Yunzhou City.
Because they had no moral principles, they were driven out by the original city lord. Finally, these people knew that they could not survive in other places, so they traveled across mountains and rivers to settle in Nanli Kingdom.
Su Qi was actually very curious about Yunzhou City.
All the medical and poison techniques in the world come from Yunzhou City.
Su Qi took a peanut, peeled it, and held it in her hand. She stood up and said, "From now on, Qian Daru's health will be in your care."
"No, no, no, that pedantic old guy. As soon as we met, he started to criticize me, saying that I didn't look like an old man." Ke Suanzi was shocked. He had never done anything upright in his life and didn't want to be criticized by Qian Daru.
She pouted in grievance, "Girl, do you know how venomous that Master Qian is? Master can't handle him."
"Is there anyone you can't deal with?" Su Qi didn't believe it.
"Really, really, I can't win. That mouth is like five old women talking at the same time. It makes me dizzy when I hear it."
Su Qi gave Ke Suanzi a look and let him figure it out for himself.
He walked away without listening to Ke Suanzi's nonsense.
That night.
The Gu family courtyard is very lively.
This time, Su Qi was dragged by Gu Beiheng to have dinner with them in the front yard.
The girls of the Gu family naturally stayed in the backyard, and even the boys like Dabao and Erbao stayed in the backyard to eat.
Ke Suanzi, Xie Yi, Yue Qinggang, Yue Jiushao, Su Tianze, Su Qi and Gu Beiheng sat together.
The evening dishes were all cooked by Xia He herself, and they tasted better than in many restaurants.
Yue Qinggang's eyes rolled as he ate. With such cooking skills, he could open a restaurant.
The key is that these new dishes will definitely be a big hit once they are launched.
Yue Jiushao also had his eye on those dishes and wanted to add them to his hot pot restaurant. But just as he opened his mouth, Gu Beiheng bet him back. "Don't talk about business over a meal. If you have anything to say, we can talk tomorrow."
Yue Jiushao swallowed the words that were about to come out of his throat.
He could only feel that Gu Beiheng and he were born incompatible, and no one else, Yue Qinggang, would receive such treatment.
Yue Qinggang just smiled without saying anything, picked up his glass and clinked it with Su Tianze next to him.
The two started playing finger-guessing again.
Gu Beiheng picked up some fish that Su Qi liked and took Su Qi's hand and said:
"Qiqi. What I like most is you sitting next to me and eating together."
Su Qi smiled sweetly.
After dinner, the two returned to the backyard.
The Eagle Family, which had not been seen for a long time, appeared.
An eagle swooped down and turned twice gently when it was almost next to Gu Beiheng.
Then it fell on Gu Beiheng's shoulder.
Gu Beiheng took the secret letter from Feiying's leg, untied it, looked at it, frowned and said nothing.
Su Qi knew there was a problem as soon as she saw it.
"Beiheng, what's going on?"
Gu Beiheng set the secret letter on fire with a tinderbox, his handsome brows furrowed in thought. "A secret letter from Northwest Military Advisor Mo says someone has infiltrated the Northwest camp and killed many of our own. Someone else has also impersonated Northwest soldiers and murdered the real ones."
Gu Beiheng took the dried meat handed to him by Su Qi and fed it to Feiying.
Su Qi's heart was filled with anger when he heard this.
Those soldiers who were loyal to the court did not die on the battlefield but died in the schemes of their own people.
Even if it is the enemy's hands and feet, I am afraid there will be no way if we don't have our own people.
"What now?"
Gu Beiheng stared at the distant moon with a worried look, his deep eyes tinged with cruelty. "Military Advisor Mo is investigating this matter thoroughly. Gou Gangchang's deputy general committed suicide out of fear of punishment, claiming it was related to this matter."
Military Advisor Mo is afraid he's the smallest scapegoat. Gu Beiheng paused, then pondered for a moment before saying, "I'll send a caravan over there, and have Ying Er and Ying Qi stay with them in Northwest City to provide support."
