Zhuo Qihua

It was raining in three places, and the big stone in Emperor Yong'an's heart fell instantly.In a better mood, he also has the energy to pay attention to things that have been delayed for too long.

On the dragon table in the Hall of Walking and Walking, Emperor Yong'an held a bottle of khaki powder in his hand. To be precise, the medicinal powder inside had already bottomed out.The two imperial physicians ordered to kneel in front of the dragon case.At that time, Lin Yi, the imperial guard who went to the West Third Courtyard to "search" with Zhang Xian, stood on the side.

The Imperial Physician Ling Bai Shitong said excitedly: "Your Majesty, I don't know who made this medicinal powder. It is very effective in stopping bleeding and analgesic pain. I used it on four patients who were injured by sharp knives, and it stopped bleeding quickly."

Wei Yingshi, another imperial physician, said with great regret: "I originally wanted to try that insurance pill, but there is only one pill, so I dare not do it rashly."

Zhang Xian's heart was bleeding, and he was even more frightened.There are only two bottles in the Manchukuo, all of which will be used by the Imperial Medical Office, he is afraid that he will be hated to death by Zhuo Baolin!

Emperor Yong'an: "Is it possible that the imperial medical department has detected the formula?"

The two imperial physicians shook their heads regretfully, Bai Shitong said: "The person who dispensed this medicine is a strange person. Your Majesty, I wonder if it is possible to recruit this person to the Imperial Medical Office?"

Zhang Xian snickered in his heart.Emperor Yong'an said with an unpredictable expression: "This person's identity is not suitable. You two should step down first."

"Your Majesty, this medicine..."

Emperor Yong'an: "That man only has these two bottles. Since the imperial medical office can't check the formula, let's keep it in the palace."

The two imperial physicians could only resign regretfully upon hearing the words.

As soon as the two of them left, Emperor Yong'an asked, "Zhang Xian, did you find out?"

Zhang Xian bowed: "Return to Your Majesty, we found out. Hua Yuexi, the nurse in charge of Lijintang, fell from the high platform and hurt her lungs, and vomited blood on the spot. At that time, Wang Bao went to the West Third Hospital in person and took A water pill. Afterwards, Wang Bao ordered someone to carry Huayuexi to the West Third Courtyard. After one month, Huayuexi recovered as before. Huayuexi and Wang Bao seemed to be opposite each other in private. The water pill that was recommended to be sent is this kind of water pill."

Emperor Yong'an held the medicine bottle in his hand in silence, and Lin Yi said, "Your Majesty, these two bottles of wound medicine, two of Zhuo Baolin's palace servants said that one bottle is worth ten thousand gold, and it was prepared by Zhuo Baolin before entering the palace. .”

Emperor Yong'an: "Have you found anything that looks like a prescription?"

Both Zhang Xian and Lin Yi shook their heads, Emperor Yong'an: "Show me his things."

Zhang Xian went to get the rattan box, and Lin Yi reported: "Your Majesty, I have found out that the Zhuo family has never invited him to be a teacher. He is very low-key in the Zhuo family. It was not until he passed the examination of scholar that the Zhuo family knew that he could understand literature." Word break. Before Zhuo Baolin entered the palace, he didn’t have any close friends around him, and he usually used the alias Zhao Zhuo to haunt various theaters and restaurants in Dongluo City, and he also liked to walk around the streets to find some street food.”

Emperor Yong'an: "He has never hired a teacher, and he usually likes to hang out in theaters and restaurants. How did he become a scholar?"

Lin Yi was also puzzled: "Maybe, Zhuo Baolin studied by himself in the bookstore? Zhuo Baolin would go to the bookstore when he was free, but he rarely bought books."

Emperor Yong'an raised his eyes: "You mean, he just went to various bookstores and passed the exam?"

Zhuo Ji is from the Zhuo family, and he can get the admission card to participate in Enke as long as he reveals his identity as the son of the Zhuo family. It is still possible to go to Enke without telling the Zhuo family.

Lin Yi said hesitantly: "I only found out these things. The Zhuo family really did not hire him a teacher. As for whether Zhuo Baolin hired a teacher in private, I haven't found out yet."

Emperor Yong'an: "What about the four travel notes?"

Lin Yi replied: "I have consulted several elders. Only Haishoufu understands a little bit, but he can't understand. Haishoufu said that he needs to find people from Haixi country to check. At present, it seems that they are all describing Haixi country. Words of style."

Emperor Yong'an nodded, and Zhang Xian came out holding the rattan box.Emperor Yong'an has been busy with the witchcraft case these days. He just took a quick look at the things Zhang Xian brought back, and told the Imperial Medical Office and Lin Yi to check the two bottles of wound medicine and the four travel notes first.Zhang Xian opened the rattan box, took out the contents and placed them on the dragon case.Emperor Yong'an stood up and picked up a completed sketch portrait.

"Long live, this is the court lady named Hui'e next to Zhuo Baolin."

Emperor Yong'an looked at this sketch portrait with sharp eyes.After a long time, he put down the portrait and picked up another one.

"Long live, this is the eunuch named Chang Jing next to Zhuo Baolin."

Emperor Yong'an took a few glances and put it down.

After looking at the sketches of several characters one by one, Emperor Yong'an took a rough look at the sketches of landscapes, and then picked up a piece of white paper with strange symbols written on it.

"what is this?"

Zhang Xian shook his head: "I don't know about it either. Zhuo Baolin didn't say it at the time."

Emperor Yong'an was well-informed.The writing on it looks a bit like the characters of Haixi Kingdom, but it doesn't look like it.Emperor Yong'an looked at it for a long time and was completely puzzled.Because it is full of symbols such as "+", "-", "=".Emperor Yong'an couldn't see what this meant even if he looked straight up or vertically.

Putting these pieces of paper aside, Emperor Yong'an picked up a thin stick wrapped in wood with a black tip.After examining it carefully, he took a piece of paper and drew on it.A black mark was left on the paper.Emperor Yong'an drew several strokes on the paper, and then took a sketch to compare the two sides.

Zhang Xian: "Long live! Zhuo Baolin can't be those strange paintings drawn with this kind of brush?"

Yi Lam also leaned over curiously.Emperor Yong'an drew a flower with that brush, and Zhang Xian exclaimed: "Long live, this stick is amazing! You can draw without ink!"

Emperor Yong'an looked at the pen again, then handed it to Lin Yi: "Take a look at what this is?"

Lin Yi took it over and checked it by himself, and even drew a picture on his hand, and raised his head: "Look at it, it seems to be a black stone."

Zhang Xian: "Black Stone?!"

Edward Lam returned the pen: "It looks like a black stone."

Zhang Xian exclaimed: "Zhuo Baolin used black stones to paint?" After exclaiming, Zhang Xian immediately shut up.Zhuo Baolin's inlaying black stones into wood to paint is clever, but it also shows Zhuo Baolin's plight of lack of pen and ink in the palace.Zhang Xian went to see the emperor, and sure enough, His Majesty's face was not very good-looking.

There are several such pens in the rattan box, some are long and some are short.Emperor Yong'an took out another chunky porcelain bottle the size of a fist and opened it.There was black ink inside, and Emperor Yong'an smelled it.

"Your Majesty! Be careful!"

Zhang Xian and Lin Yi spoke at the same time. Emperor Yong'an handed the bottle to Lin Yi. Lin Yi sniffed it immediately, and then he was relieved: "Your Majesty, this seems to be ink. Your Majesty, be careful."

Emperor Yong'an took out another thing from the box, Zhang Xian: "Long live, this seems to be a goose feather."

Emperor Yong'an lightly pinched the tip of the goose feather with one hand, and Lin Yi also said: "When I searched and searched at the time, I found that it was a goose feather, but it seemed to have been specially treated, and the tip of the goose feather showed marks of being cut with a sharp tool."

There are more than a dozen such goose feathers in the box, and only this one has a black tip.Emperor Yong'an's eyes darkened for a moment, and he said, "Bring that bottle of ink here."

Zhang Xian reached out to take back the bottle of ink from Yi Lin's hand, and put it in front of the emperor.Emperor Yong'an dipped the black tip of the goose feather in the ink, and then drew it on the paper.Surprise appeared on the faces of Zhang Xian and Lin Yi, as if they had discovered something at the same time.After doing this several times, Emperor Yong'an wrote a "word" on the paper.

"Ah!" Zhang Xian yelled, "Long live, isn't this the Chinese character of Haixi?"

Edward Lam: "Zhuo Baolin's four travel notes could not have been written with this kind of pen!"

The characters on the four travel notes were not written with a brush, because the characters are too small and thin, and it is difficult for the thinnest brush to write such small and clear characters.If it was written with such a pen, no wonder!

"Zhuo Baolin is really smart." Lin Yi couldn't help admiring.Zhang Xian also nodded again and again, and did not forget to say: "Zhuo Baolin made it himself. The toilet paper is very soft. But it can't be written on. The servant girl soaked in water, and there was nothing abnormal on it. Instead, it would turn into pulp. The servant girl took it away at that time. At that time, the two palace servants beside Zhuo Baolin looked distressed."

Lin Yi nodded at the side, and said: "I found a paper-making utensil in the West Third Courtyard."

Zhang Xian admired Zhuo Baolin's ability to make paper and couldn't help linking these with Zhuo Baolin's embarrassment in life.Everyone present guessed that the kind of soft paper was probably Zhuo Ji's helpless choice when there was no paper available.Lin Yi admired this clever Baolin very much, and said directly: "Your Majesty, whether it is a quill pen or a black stone pen, it is really convenient to use."

Emperor Yong'an nodded and said, "Zhang Xian, deliver the decree."

"Yes!"

"Tizhuo's Baolin is an elegant person, gifted, Jinse Palace, the main palace."

"……Yes!"

"Both the queen mother and your concubine are ill, so I ask Dezhen to handle this matter in person."

"Yes!"

Zhang Xian delivered the decree immediately.Because the queen's matter was delayed for half a month, Zhuo Ji still welcomed the imperial edict.

■

Standing at the door, Zhuo Ji frowned: "Boss Zhang, what did you just say?"

Zhang Xian said hastily with a smile on his face, "Zhuoya is so small. The Holy Majesty named you as an elegant person, and bestowed Jinse Palace, the main palace. You are now the noble lord of the first palace."

An elegant person who becomes the lord of a palace has a completely different status from an elegant person like Yan Xuan who lives in a side palace of a certain palace.With Zhuo Ji's current status, Zhang Xian couldn't call himself "our family".Like the master, Chang Jing and Xiaohui, who thought they hadn't heard clearly, were shocked. Not only did they not feel any joy, but they looked at the master worriedly.This scene was naturally remembered by Zhang Xian.

Zhuo Ji closed his eyes, did he really get noticed?Opening his eyes again, he said, "Thank you, Mr. Zhang. What do I need to do then?"

Zhang Xian immediately said: "Now you have to dress up and go to Long Live to thank you first with the little one. After thanking you, you can go back to Jinse Palace directly. Leave your things here for the two of them to tidy up, and someone will take them Go there first. Your lord is sick, and Wansui ordered Dezhen to personally handle your entry into the Jinse Palace. Dezhen is the biological mother of the Second Highness, and the noble lord who followed Wansui before Wansui ascended the throne. .This is also what Wanzai values ​​you."

Zhuo Ji smiled slightly: "Thank you, Manager Zhang. Can I ask, how did Your Majesty know I'm here?"

Eunuch Zhang replied with a smile: "Long live passed the West Third Courtyard one night, and happened to see you enjoying the coolness in the courtyard, and then realized that you have been wronged here for three years. Long live had intended to make an order, but something delayed it. , and this has dragged on until now.”

Zhuo Ji sneered in his heart, the West Third Courtyard used to be the Leng Palace, Emperor Yong'an didn't sleep at night, did he go to the Leng Palace to catch ghosts?But Zhuo Ji will not go into the details of the exact night when the emperor discovered his existence, the matter has come to this point, and he can only watch step by step.

"Zoya people...?"

Zhang Xian can swear that this Zhuoya person is definitely not happy.But why is he unhappy?

Zhuo Ji came back to his senses: "Then please wait a moment, Mr. Zhang. I'll go clean up." He pointed to his attire.

Eunuch Zhang kindly said: "There are some rules about face saints, I need to remind Zhuoya people."

"Thank you."

Zhuo Ji brought Chang Jing and Xiao Hui into the house, and Zhang Xian followed.Zhuo Ji didn't have many clothes, so Xiaohui found him the most eye-catching - but it was still too shabby in Zhang Xian's eyes - a light green dress, and paired it with a beanie of the same color.If Brother Mao gets married, he is married.The unmarried brother Miao, who is younger than fifteen, does not wear his hair in a bun.More than fifteen, with a slanted bun.Married Miao brothers, no matter how old they are, have to wear their hair to show that they are married to someone else as their "wife".There is a difference between Miao'er's updo and married women's updo. After all, Miao'er's appearance is more handsome than women's, and the updos are not as complicated and diverse as women's.Brother Mao's hairstyle is relatively simple, and he doesn't wear too many head accessories, mainly hairpins, hairpins, and combs.Brother Miao's accessories are mostly waist ornaments, neck ornaments, clothing ornaments, and rings.Brother Lao's clothes are called Huangshang.The original meaning of 纙 is to wear the rope of copper coins.Beizi usually has middle sleeves, which are different from women's and men's long sleeves, in order to reveal the more special round sleeves of Miao Geer.

It is said that when people like brother Miao appear, they not only have to work outside, but also take care of housework.In the house, you have to have children and serve your husband.In order to take into account the different needs of the inside and outside of the brother, the sleeves of the brother usually have two layers.The outer layer can be put down at home to look beautiful and dignified like a woman.When you need to work outside or do housework at home, tie up the outer layer, and the inner layer is casual clothes for doing things.Over time, Brother Mu's clothes developed into what they are today.Whether it is sleeves, or clothes and skirts, they are all layered-two or three layers.The layering of the sleeves becomes looser and looser, and the lower the sleeves, it is called a skirt.

Zhuo Ji didn't ask Xiaohui to put his head in a bun, but tied half of his hair into a bun and inserted a green jade hairpin.All over her body, she only wore a pouch on her waist - embroidered by Xiaohui, and a jade pendant. On her hand was a jade ring of the same color as her hairpin.Looking left and right in the bronze mirror where people's faces could not be seen clearly, Zhuo Ji stood up: "Okay."

Zhang Xian swallowed the words that made Zhuo Ji's eyebrows blush, and said, "Men Zhuo Ya, I'll tell you the rules when I meet with you later."

"Okay, thank you, Manager Zhang."

Zhang Xian began to explain.How to salute after meeting, how to answer, how to thank you, etc., are very detailed.Originally, after Zhuo Ji entered the palace, the empress should have arranged for him to go to a certain main palace to receive training on palace rules and etiquette, but the empress locked him in the West Third Courtyard, and no one came to teach Zhuo Ji these things in the past three years. Now Zhang Xian can only quickly make up for Zhuo Ji.

Zhuo Ji is very smart, Zhang Xian taught him once and he remembered it.After he demonstrated it to Zhang Xian, Zhang Xian nodded again and again: "Zhuo Ya has done an excellent job, and this is it." He secretly sighed at Zhuo Ji's intelligence.

Liu Xiaohui and Chang Jing packed up the things to be taken away in the West Third Courtyard, and Zhuo Ji followed Zhang Xian to Fengtian Hall.Although Zhuo Ji was already the lord of the first palace, he was still an elegant person after all, and he had no right to sit in a sedan chair in the palace, so he could only go there on foot.Zhuo Ji took it as exercise, and he followed Zhang Xian unhurriedly.Zhang Xian took a few glances at his complexion, and asked chattingly, "Did Zhuo Ya not rest well in the West Third Courtyard?" Seeing this man a few times, he seemed to be very tired, and his eyes had an obvious blue color from not sleeping well.

Zhuo Ji smiled: "Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for your concern. I never sleep well at night. I have an old problem."

What's happening here?Zhang Xian said kindly: "Wait a while, call the imperial physician to have a look."

"No, it's been like this since I was a child. I don't want to take sleeping pills, and I'm used to it." Speaking of this, Zhuo Ji said subtly: "The life in the West Third Hospital is very leisurely. I can't sleep well at night. I can catch up on sleep during the day. "

Zhang Xian: "..."

After walking a few steps, Zhuo Ji took the initiative to speak: "Director Zhang, there is something I want to ask you."

"You say."

"Your Majesty, will you call me to bed today?"

Zhang Xianyu choked for a moment, but still said: "It should be. Wansui already knew that you were wronged, but recently there have been three severe droughts, another plague of locusts, and another major incident in the palace. Wansui is busy because he has no skills. Your work will be delayed."

Zhuo Ji didn't ask what happened in the palace, but asked: "If I refuse to serve the bed, will I be beheaded?"

"Hiss—" Zhang Xian took a deep breath, looked back hastily, and then lowered his voice and said anxiously: "Men Zhuo Ya, please don't say that in front of Wan Sui!"

"I see, thank you Manager Zhang."

Zhang Xian patted his chest and lowered his voice: "Men Zhuo Ya, which noble lord in the palace doesn't want to be favored by Long Live, why do you..."

Zhuo Ji looked at the front and said lightly: "I just think that I should be a man, pure."

Zhang Xian thought about this sentence for a while, and then "hissed" again.Zhuoya thinks he is a man, and Wanzai is a man. If Wanzai favors Zhuo's family, then Zhuoya... hiss! !Zhang Xian didn't know how to react.
