Mu Qingyu's heart sank. Ever since the new servants were added to the Weiwu Marquis Mansion, Zhou Chen has been the butler, managing everything in the manor and rarely going out.
And he is obviously looking for himself.
She hurriedly asked: "What's going on?"
Zhou Chen gasped for breath. He was old and anxious. It took a lot of effort to run like this. He said intermittently: "The master of the house is sick and unconscious!"
Mu Qingyu said: "Uncle Zhou, walk slowly behind me, I'll go take a look first!"
When Zhou Chen was about to speak, where was the shadow of Mu Qingyu in front of him?
In order to rush for time, Mu Qingyu simply went up to the roof.
With her full exertion of Qinggong, her whole body was left with afterimages.
In addition, she chose a place with few pedestrians, so even if it was broad daylight, even if someone looked up and saw it, they would just think it was a trick.
It only took less than a stick of incense for Mu Qingyu to arrive at the Weiwu Marquis Mansion.
There are also concubines of the Pei family in the Weiwu Marquis Mansion.
Those people are doing things on the other side.
The current Weiwu Hou Mansion is no longer the kind of desolate place with vines and weeds growing everywhere.
All the courtyards in the mansion have been tidied up, the small bridges, flowing water, rockeries and strange rocks have been repaired, and they all look presentable!
Mu Qingyu went straight to the main room.
Two old servants were guarding outside the house, and another was waiting inside.
When Mu Qingyu arrived at the door, the old servants saluted: "Little miss!"
Mu Qingyu didn't care, just waved her hands and said: "No need to be polite!" The whole person rushed into the courtyard.
The courtyard of the main house is simple and elegant. The third courtyard is enclosed in an irregular quadrilateral shape. There is a green tree in the courtyard with a crown like an umbrella canopy and a refreshing breath among the branches and leaves.
Pei Ji fell asleep on the bed.
The old servant in the house was guarding the bedside with a worried look on his face. When Mu Qingyu entered, the old servant hurriedly got out of the way.
She rushed to the bed, picked up Pei Ji's wrist, and put her fingers on his wrist vein.
After a while, she put Pei Ji's hand back into the quilt, stood up, and said to the old servant: "Who has been here today?"
The old servant was startled, but he quickly replied: "Back to you, little miss, Uncle Zhao has been here today!"
"Which Uncle Zhao?"
"It's Uncle Zhao Xitai and Uncle Zhao of Shanyang. He came to visit with a name card and gifts. The head of the family received him personally!"
"What gift are you giving?"
The old servant said: "He gave two gifts. One is the bonsai Chunxiao Sulan that our master likes, and the other is a carved eight-brocade screen."
"Where are these two things?"
Seeing that she asked urgently, the old servant thought for a while and then said: "The screen master asked me to send it to the young lady's room. The bonsai master likes it himself and puts it there!"
He pointed to the window.
Mu Qingyu walked to the bonsai.
In the long flat basin with four corners carved with pine and crane, a tree looks like a leaping dragon, its branches are intricately intertwined, it is very exquisite, and the tree exudes the fragrance of plants.
Mu Qingyu sniffed lightly and asked, "Who was around at that time?"
The old servant said: "Butler Zhou is next to you!"
Mu Qingyu said: "Send a carriage to pick up Butler Zhou. He is old and walks slowly. Remember, go east to meet him!"
The old servant is busy going out to make arrangements.
Mu Qingyu walked to the bedside, holding a silver needle between her fingertips. She inserted the silver needle under Pei Ji's forehead.
Pei Ji still didn't move at all.
Mu Qingyu did not move the silver needle, but walked to the bonsai. She moved her sleeves and held the silver-white dagger in her hand. She gently inserted the tip of the dagger into a small branch of the bonsai.
There is a trace of water droplets on the twigs, which are light green.
Mu Qingyu scraped off the water droplets with a dagger and held it in front of her eyes for a closer look. She also used the tip of the dagger to pick up some potted soil and observed it carefully again.
Suddenly, she threw the soil back into the potted plant, dug into the soil again with the tip of her dagger, and a small bamboo tube was dug out.
The small bamboo tube lying on the ground was emitting a clear light. Mu Qingyu raised her hand and split the bamboo tube with the dagger. The thin bamboo flesh split to both sides, and there was indeed a small note inside.
And her dagger has already picked up the little note.
She didn't touch it with her hands. The small piece of paper had been unfolded and there were not many words on it: "It is extremely poisonous and the internal organs will turn into pus in three days. If you want the antidote, go to the Thunder Temple at the third watch!"
He actually knew that she would check out the bonsai, so he placed the message bamboo tube here? Did that person know her habits, or did he think it was safest to hide things in the soil of the bonsai?
But what if she can’t find it? So, the other party should have other tips?
The Thunder Temple is a ruined temple in the west of the city.
The ruined temple has long since lost its incense, and even the statue of the God of Thunder is in tatters, and is often used as a temporary residence for beggars.
But in the past few years, not even the beggars have gone there.
Because, I heard that it is haunted.
A beggar saw a green-faced evil spirit bite a man to death at night. When he went to see it again during the day, there was only a stiff corpse.
The temple was completely abandoned, but Yousi did not demolish it.
The man made an appointment at this place. Mu Qingyu frowned, dug the note into the soil with the tip of a dagger, asked someone to take the potted plant away, and wrote four different prescriptions for treating typhoid fever, and asked the servants to grab the medicine.
.
Then she walked to the bed and pulled out the silver needle from Pei Ji's head.
After that, another round of silver needles was inserted, but this time it was much faster.
The silver needle was withdrawn in less than half a stick of incense.
It was still early at this time, and the other party’s appointment was at the third watch, so she didn’t need to rush out.
She went to her yard.
Just now the old servant said that there is also a screen. Because it is exquisite and beautiful, grandpa sent it to her courtyard?
Since there is a problem with the bonsai, is there also a problem with the screen?
The two courtyards are not too close to each other.
In fact, Mu Qingyu lives in a somewhat remote place.
But this kind of remoteness is completely different from Zhumiaoyuan. Zhumiaoyuan is not only remote, but also deserted, desolate and deserted, deserted for many years!
But this courtyard used to be lived in by Pei Yi, Pei Ji's daughter slave, and Pei Shili, who is also a sister-in-law. They chose the best courtyard besides the main courtyard. It was quiet, elegant, and magnificent. The father and son couldn't wait to move all the good things.
In the past, even the more remote courtyards were definitely more exquisite and beautiful than the main courtyard.
Mu Qingyu actually doesn't care about those things outside her body. She can feel at ease living in Zhumiao Courtyard. Living in this courtyard, she is equally at ease in Danyi Garden.
Of course, if you can enjoy life better, no one will refuse it.
That screen is indeed extremely exquisite and beautiful. It is made of fine mahogany wood, the carvings are exquisite and ingenious, and the carvings are exquisite and delicate. I think it was made by a famous artist.
The hollowing out is also just right, making the carving more three-dimensional and more elegant.
Mu Qingyu walked over slowly, and the screen exuded a very faint fragrance of fine mahogany. It was not painted, but it was extremely smooth.
She glanced over, her eyes slightly condensed!
The entire screen has eight sides and is six meters long. There are not only 100 but also 80 hollows. Mu Qingyu’s sharp gaze fell on the third and fifth hollow!
