sunset fever

On that day, Yan Xiu gave Qu Yao a soothing prescription. Taking advantage of the setting sun to return early, he stayed for the first night in the Taolang Pavilion; Flowers, cool and windy at night.

On the next day, before it was too late in the morning, I learned that the servants and military officers were coming. The maids and mothers in the Taoyuan Pavilion, as well as the servants who were doing things, all went to the front yard and knelt.Yan Xiuxiu rummaged through the study room to find a booklet on ancient prose. Seeing Mo Xia coming in a hurry, he walked in with small steps and knelt down, saying, "My lord, the people from the palace have arrived."

"Why are you panicking? I know I'm going naturally." Yan Xiu seemed to have time to appease Mo Xia. He immediately put down the book in his hand, casually adjusted the sleeves of the blue cloak, and pulled the shirt away. After leveling off, he walked in front of Mo Xia.

It was another bright day, the sky was light blue, the peach tree grew in front of the door, its branches were bent, forming a strange appearance, Yan Xiu walked forward, no one was seen on the road, he walked along the green brick road, After passing through the wall door promenade a few more times, he went to the front yard. Mo Xia knelt down behind a group of people, with his upper body bent down.

Yan Xiu opened his fan to block the sun's light, and only then did he clearly see the standing people. They came from outside the door, bypassing the huge screen wall, and the servants inside were dressed in palace clothes, while the small military officers were all dressed simply. Lighter.

The servant leaned over and raised his voice, stood up, and said: "Don't kneel, go outside to move things quickly, your majesty has a reward, congratulations on serving the royal master."

Yan Xiu bowed to him and said, "Please trouble my father-in-law and all the adults running around."

The servants and escorts did not stay for long, and the rewards included gold, silver, precious jade, agate and coral, satin from Suzhou and Hangzhou, calligraphy, painting and literature. Shanyin took a few servants there on a special trip, and obeyed Yan Xiu's words, and kept them all. , into the warehouse.

"Your Majesty will have a banquet tonight. I picked out new clothes for Your Majesty, and ordered the shower to go down. They are preparing for it." Mo Xia served tea for Yan Xiu to rinse his mouth after the meal. It was past noon, and it was a day During the hottest and driest time in the middle of the year, the northern climate has its own temperament, and it is always windy after summer.

Yan Xiu only said: "Don't bother, I'll be fine in this suit."

Mo Xia held up the teacup and ordered a few servant girls to come in to get the bowls and plates on the table. She said, "Then I'll prepare it. My lord will listen to the order outside the Suihua Hall tomorrow morning, so I can wear that."

Living in a mansion with many servants, there is always a place to be taken care of, Yan Xiu said nothing more, he was wearing a light blue shirt after dinner, standing in the bedroom, reading from the study in the morning There are domestic servants walking quickly in the yard. They are tidying the grass in front of the lawn, collecting fallen branches from the trees, and transporting them away.

Yan Xiu then took out the lacquered and semi-old yellow wooden box from the wall cabinet, found the compass, divination bones, copper coins and hexagram books, he sat on the couch for a long time, and then read the hexagrams for today and tomorrow elephant.

Shanyin suddenly called him outside, the sky quickly turned overcast, and a large cloud swallowed the sun.

Yan Xiu asked: "What's the matter?"

"My lord, it's getting colder, but the willow flower maid in our mansion came across a black snake in front of the door. It was long and thin, and even the letter was black. The slave has already asked someone to put it in a cage. I don't know what to do. disposal."

"Leave it alone, I'll take a look." Yan Xiu immediately put away the books and other things on the table, before he had time to put on his cloak, he hurried out wearing only his undershirt, there were only three or two servants in the yard, While pressing the bamboo cage with a shovel, the little snake showed its head, two bright red spots on its eyes, and spit out black letters.

More clouds came from afar, and the wind picked up.

Yan Xiu immediately frowned, bit the corner of his thin lips anxiously, turned around and paced back and forth, after guessing, he found two words to prevaricate Shan Yin, saying: "It looks like it's poisonous, put it in the stove fire Just burn it to death."

Immediately, Sanyin ordered the two servants to carry away the cage.

Yan Xiu's hair was ruffled by the impetuous wind, and then it began to flutter randomly; he entered the bedroom, and after that, he couldn't hide the look of panic on his face.

Yan Xiu frowned, still thinking.

After all, there was no rain in the sky, but the sky was always covered with dark clouds. When Chen Bizhen arrived at the banquet in Suihua Palace, Jianfang was guarding with all the guards outside the door. The one who accompanied the wine in the hall was Chen Bizhen's elder brother, who ranked first among the princes of the former emperor. Twelve, the name is Tao (tāo) Shao (shào).

Yan Xiu arrived late, so Chen Bizhen and Chen Taoshao had already taken their seats.The Twelve Princes had the appearance of an older brother, looking deep and steady, but with a youthful appearance. He was wearing a dark white collared dark coat with dark gold patterns, and his long black hair fell down his back.

Chen Taoshao had a pair of deep peach eyes, handsome and slightly raised brows, he was not as childish as Chen Bizhen, at thirty, he looked like an elder here.

Yan Xiu came to salute, nodded and said: "Your Majesty, Wang Ye."

"So you won't kneel anymore?" Chen Taoshao was drinking the wine in his glass, he was not rigid, he was just joking at this moment, but he also had a bit of royal face in mind.

Chen Bizhen sat at the back of the table with his head propped up, and put the green oranges that he had picked mischievously just now into the plate. Then he sat down, looked at his elder brother coldly, smiled perfunctorily, and said, "Oranges don't even wait." Pick it up when it's red."

Chen Taoshao put down the small celadon cup and said, "This is a native product of Fenjiang. It's not cold yet, and there are only a few sweet trees. They're all picked here, and they can't eat even if there is money outside."

While Chen Taoshao was speaking, Chen Bizhen ordered Yan Xiu to take a seat at the side. He focused on the food served by the waiter without saying a word, and forced his tired eyes to raise his glass, saying: "Your servant Master has done a great job in diagnosing the queen, and I respect you here."

"The nature of a doctor is also, and Yan has no merit." Yan Xiu took advantage of the situation to pinch the cold porcelain cup. Today, he really saw the hard work of a person with high skill, watching Chen Bizhen who was dozing here and drooping his head, poured the wine in the cup The juice drank the whole glass.

After a while, another row of servants came, a total of six people. Three of them brought the open enamel bowls for the meal, and the three took down the empty plates in front of the table. , this is an old chicken roasted deer tendon."

After the waiter finished talking, he only waited for Chen Bizhen to nod, then he picked up a piece of deer tendon and leaned over to try the dishes.

When Yan Xiu smelled it, he felt that the broth of this delicacy was sweet and bitter. Before he could raise his head, he saw the dish tester holding his heart and fell to the ground.

Chen Taoshao stood up alertly, and immediately stood beside Chen Bizhen, and he shouted: "Guard!"

Immediately, the servants in the hall and by the door withdrew, and from the inside and outside of the house, twenty or so people in robes with arrow sleeves and holding knives and swords rushed to surround Chen Bizhen and Chen Taoshao.

Jianfang had already gone to Chen Bizhen to take orders, he turned around again, came to Yan Xiu, bowed to him, and said: "Servant Master, please take a look at him."

Yan Xiu was unflappable when he was in danger. After all, he did not live in the scene of many royal crises. At this time, after walking a few dozen steps, he went to Chen Bizhen's table, leaned over to see the servant who fell to the ground after being poisoned, and then, He stuffed the pills that were always prepared in his sleeve into his mouth.

I saw that the man had already vomited blood, the corners of his lips and eyes were dyed a frightening blue color, he clenched his jaw tightly, his breath suddenly weakened, and then he tilted his head and died.

"The Baidushu medicine I made myself is very effective, but this poison is unusual, and there is probably no medicine that can cure it." Yan Xiu's fingers were stained with the blood of the servant, and he knelt down and stretched out his hand He closed his wide eyes and stood up without saying anything.

The banquet was not half over yet, and it was time to end. Chen Taoshao went back to the mansion outside the palace. Jianfang and his personal servants followed Chen Bizhen. After cleaning his hands, Yan Xiu returned the bloody handkerchief, and said to Chen Bizhen who was about to leave : "If you want her to recover from her heart disease, please allow her to leave Chongcheng to live. It would be better to find a quiet place in Yangjing, surrounded by mountains and rivers."

Naturally, Chen Bizhen understood that Yan Xiu was referring to Qu Yao, he stopped, turned his back to Yan Xiu, turned his head again, and said: "There is nothing comprehensive in this world, and you think too easily."

"Then why did you travel thousands of miles to find a doctor?"

"I haven't seen such a nonsense person, it's fine if you don't kneel down, but now I'm questioning you," Chen Bizhen sneered suddenly, he rubbed the walnut carved in his hand, then turned around, looked at Yan Xiu's face, and said, " In this place, in this country, I have the final say.”

The two are about the same height, Yan Xiu is not afraid of him, and Chen Butian's youthful spirit has not disappeared, so naturally he does not have those terrifying majesties, but he seems to be handy in this position.

"I'll take my leave first." By this time, Yan Xiu didn't even bow, he didn't pay attention to Chen Butian's coercion, bowed and left.

The blue robe floated into the clear mist of the night.

The weather is gone.

Jianfang just snickered, but he couldn't be noticed by Chen Bizhen. He walked beside him with his sword in his arms, and saw Chen Bizhen grab the leaves of the bushes by the side of the road.

"I'm high-minded, I'm afraid it's too arrogant." Chen Bizhen snatched the cloth bag containing toys from the waiter, took out a pebble and threw it into the clear lake.

After all, Jianfang couldn't hold back his laughter, he said: "Your Majesty really tolerated him."

"His life is now the queen's life. How dare I act rashly. If I say that I can kill anyone I want in this position, it is all nonsense."

The stones entered the lake and created ring-shaped water waves, which overlapped after fainting, and then faded away. Chen Bizhen was amused, and stood on tiptoe to look at it again. He was happy, and said with a smile: "Others always try to teach me with experience, but they don't know I have already understood what they taught.”

Jianfang understood, so he bowed immediately and praised: "Your Majesty is wise."

Chen Bizhen wanted to go to the Huaiqing Palace to see Qu Yao who was ill. There was a cool breeze on the road, and there were insects and birds singing in his ears. Jianfang and the guards all walked slowly. In front of them were six servants, bending over and burying their heads. Carrying a yellow lantern.

Chen Bizhen plucked the thick leaves from the bushes by hand, and blew twice when he stuck them to his mouth. He was like a young eagle that couldn't stand, always running around on the road, stretching out his hand to snatch Jianfang. He played with his sword, as if he had forgotten what happened just now, and only said: "When I leave the palace next time, I also want to wear a sword."

Yan Xiu listened to the decree outside the Suihua Palace at Maoshi on the second day. At that time, the sun had not yet risen, and there were a few insects whistling in the grass in the palace and on the road. The palace lights inside and outside the palace were all on, and the servants were all busy , prepared breakfast, and parked the sedan chair to go to Dingzhen Hall.

The chief servant announced Chen Bizhen's will, and then handed over the silk with the writing on it and the black ox horn shaft, on which it was written: Zhao said, the moonlight of Shanshui is condensed and beautiful, and Chao Luyuan is born on the top of Chunqi mountain The benevolence towards others, the warmth of nature, the goodness of conduct, the mastery of medicine, the method of medicine, and the virtues of obedience, in order to show its usefulness.Zi Teer: Attendant of the Imperial Medical Office.Chin Zai.

Afterwards, Yan Xiu saw Chen Bichen surrounded by him. He was wearing a bright yellow brocade deep coat and long boots. Those layered robes and sleeves fluttered in the mighty morning wind, and he came down the palace stairs with a serious face. , passed through the people kneeling all over the ground, and left.

After a while, another servant came, he greeted Yan Xiu, and said: "I will show you the way, you can also rest in the house until dawn, and wait for the imperial doctor to order Master Bi to come down to explain the errand in detail."

"It's already too late to rest, you always get up early, it's not suitable for you to recuperate in order."

"Except for being loose and loose in the harem, everything is like this, slaves and servants are like this, Your Majesty is even more like this, once you get used to it, it's not too early."

While talking, the servant turned on the lamp to guide Yan Xiu to go elsewhere. He was young, but he always tilted his head, so he couldn't see the specific appearance clearly.

Yan Xiu smiled lightly in an instant, and sighed: "That's true, leisure and merit cannot be had at the same time."

They left the Suihua Palace and walked along the side road of the Canghua Garden. The lantern cast a circle of cold white light, swaying on the neat gray brick road under their feet. Yan Xiu was dressed in layered maroon clothes. The trees and towers under the night of the city reminded me of the jujube trees in vermilion outside the Huaiqing Palace in an instant.

The sky was finally stained with a bright tinge of white.

In front was the semi-old courtyard surrounded by red walls, and the two high-hanging lanterns had already been lit. Yan Xiu carefully looked up at the plaque on the door, only to see the words "Emperor Medical Office" written on it.

The young man who came to lead the way had apricot eyes and sword eyebrows, white and thin, he bowed immediately and said, "Zhao Yu, deputy envoy of the Imperial Medical Office, has seen Lord Yan."

"You're working here at such a young age?"

"I'm sixteen." Zhao Beak bowed back to Yan Xiu's words, and then sent the servant who led the way back; Zhao Beak took Yan Xiu to the courtyard, there was also a light yellow lantern on the door of the main room, and "Magnolia" was written on the plaque Two words.

This Zhao Beak probably also has a meticulous and noble heart, he looks serious and unsmiling, he is wearing a blue lapel gown, his hair is pulled up in a beautiful bun, he has a broad back and a pointed face, very delicate.

Entering the main room, there are tables, desks and chairs neatly arranged. There are two full rows of bookshelves, and the top floor is full of dusty square paper.

Someone came from behind the plain screen in the room. She was holding a brand new copper lamp with yellow light in her hands. She had a sharp face with sharp edges and corners, and her hair was parted in front of her forehead and neatly combed.

Wearing a white shirt and a light blue gauze shirt outside.

The woman asked, "Who is this?"

"Master Qin, this is the newly-appointed Imperial Attendant, Lord Yan," Zhao Beak turned around again, and said to Yan Xiu, "This is the Imperial Attendant, Lord Qin, and we are working together here."

"I've seen Lord Qin, I'm so proud." Yan Xiu immediately nodded.

Qin Jiang always didn't smile, and stared at the young man with his chin stretched out, then nodded lightly, and said, "My dear Qin Jiang, you will stay in the room in the inner courtyard from now on. gone."

Without saying a lot, Qin Jiang went out with the lamp in her hand, and Zhao Beak immediately came over and said, "You don't have to think she is cold, she treats everyone like this, and the imperial physician ordered Master Bi not to dare to quarrel with her."

"People have their own tempers, I understand."

Yan Xiu followed Zhao Yu to the outside of the main room, the courtyard wall in his sight became clear, the sky became light gray, and the rooms in the inner courtyard were more spacious, Zhao Yu opened the side room, and hurriedly turned on the lamp When it was ready, he said: "It's all packed, you can rest here in the future, if there is anything missing, I will call the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to do it."

Yan Xiu glanced around the room and saw that there were beds and desks. Even though it was far from being as luxurious and detailed as the Taolang Pavilion, it was at least neat and clean. There was also a cursive "Kongqing Yuanzhi" hanging on the wall. Take a closer look. Only then did I know that the inscription is: More than a month after Guiwei, Zheng Fei.
