During the day, people would fetch water or deliver meat or vegetables from time to time. It was the Chinese New Year.
Lin Yutong is also in the house really starting to prepare New Year's goods. The smell of braised pork floats out with the wind, and anyone who smells it will salivate. To put it bluntly, Lin Yutong's craftsmanship can really be called a century-old brand. It's true.
Call for a fragrance!
People at the bottom of the mountain know what the people at the top are doing, so they won't rush up there too often.
The fourth master was sitting in front of the stove watching the fire, but Lin Yutong took out the materials that were not afraid of swords, guns, water and fire, and gave them to the fourth master and himself. Each of them had to make a set of such clothes first. It would definitely not be comfortable to wear them directly, so he could only put them on
The lining of the original clothes was removed, and then replaced with this material, which is not revealing. There should also be a hat and a mask in front of the face, but it was really weird to just make a hat, so I had to change the clothes into a large collar.
It looks like, hide the hat and mask inside and put them out when you need them.
While Lin Yutong was busy with the work at hand, he asked: "Do you want to make a mask first and a voice changer?"
It is estimated that even if the fourth master controls the secret guards now, he will not show his true colors to others. In the past, Jin Jia had family members outside, which also proves that they are not showing their true colors to others. This thing is so disgusting.
A mask is better. A mask made of special materials will not be easy for others to take off unless the owner is willing.
Fourth Master nodded: "Get ready. Don't tell anyone that the secret guard is in our hands." Including Concubine Gan.
Lin Yutong understood what Fourth Master meant. It was always necessary to be cautious in everything.
Yunshang Pavilion in Beijing.
Aunt He entered Jinxiufang next to Yunshang Pavilion, then got out of the closet in the inner room of Jinxiufang, and then entered Yunshang Pavilion. No one would have thought that this couple in the shopping mall that everyone knew
Enemies, Jinxiufang and Yunshang Pavilion are actually the same family.
Shi Zhongyu brought Nanny He in, "Why are you here at this time?"
Aunt He waved her hand, "Is there any news about the girl? Where did she go? Haven't found anything?"
Shi Zhongyu shook his head: "I've been checking for several days, and it appeared near Qingyun Town in the west of the capital, but I couldn't find it anymore. Grandma went back and told the master that there shouldn't be any danger. Tell her not to worry. Just watch.
Jin Jincheng is safe. I'm watching closely from outside."
Nanny He sighed, and then whispered: "The master received the news that it was Prince Duan before... Then Prince Duan's people also disappeared, and they were not taken to the designated place." Prince Heng.
Originally, they were lying in ambush at the designated place, hoping to snatch the hostage from Prince Duan. This way, it would be easier to deal with Jin Chengan. Who would have thought that such a large group of people would disappear.
Shi Zhongyu frowned and said, "What do you mean, Master?"
Aunt He shook her head: "Master didn't say anything. From what I see, it's not that I doubt the emperor, but that I doubt Jin Cheng'an."
Shi Zhongyu nodded. But no matter whose hands it was, there should be no danger. This made her a little confused, "What are you worried about, Master?"
Aunt He glanced outside: "What the master is worried about is not the present, but the future."
"What do you mean?" Shi Zhongyu pushed the tea to Grandma He, "I was confused after listening to it for a long time."
"If the whereabouts of the girl cannot be found, then the person behind it is not simple. Although the master suspects that the emperor is secretly helping Jin Chengan, he also suspects that Jin Chengan is haunted. If it is really Jin Chengan, then King Heng will take the throne in the future.
It's not easy to fool Jin Cheng'an into agreeing to something."
"What did you promise Jin Cheng'an?" Shi Zhongyu frowned, "Is it related to the girl?"
Aunt He nodded: "The matter of adopted heirs and grandchildren. I'm afraid that Prince Heng must do this in order to appease Jin Chengan. But according to Prince Heng's temperament, the future of this child... is not good! The master does not want us to
The girl’s child became a target so early, so..."
Shi Zhongyu glanced in the direction of the yard: "Master is talking about...the child in Lin Yuzhi's belly..."
Aunt He nodded: "Don't let the girl know about this..."
"I know what to do." Shi Zhongyu pondered for a long time before answering.
Only then did Grandma He get up and go to Jinxiu Square through the secret door again. After that, she bought two pieces of embroidery before Shi Shiran left.
But Shi Zhongyu turned around and went outside, walked to the yard, called a girl, and deliberately said loudly: "...the clothes of the wife of Duke Jinguo have been sent over?"
The girl frowned. Didn't she tell the shopkeeper that all the people in Duke Jin's mansion, except Mrs. Chu, had returned to their hometown? She responded and said with a smile: "When Mrs. Shizi comes back from her hometown, I will be the first to do so."
Send it."
"It's okay to leave it to another master, so that you don't have to blame others for sending it late." Shi Zhongyu glanced at Lin Yuzhi's room and said.
The girl didn't understand what she meant: "If the other two grandmas were here, it would be best to ask my sister-in-law to hand it over. Now it has to be delivered to the mother-in-law, which is a bit..." Asking the mother-in-law to collect things for the daughter-in-law, who knows the daughter-in-law's things
Are you willing to let your mother-in-law see it, "Shopkeeper, what happened to you today? This has happened before, so why do you look so panicked?"
Shi Zhongyu seemed a little helpless, "I don't know who said something today, saying that everyone who goes out from Duke Jin's mansion..." He said, waving his hands, "Forget it! Forget it! Just don't say it."
This girl is confused. What does this mean? What happened to the people who went out of Duke Jin's mansion?
Something happened? Dead?
So the shopkeeper thinks it’s unlucky to keep things from Duke Jin’s mansion for the New Year?
Shi Zhongyu glanced at the girl and returned to the house. This girl was not from the Gan family, but was a helper from nearby. Lin Yuzhi often gave her some good meals, and she often told Lin Yuzhi some outside news. Shi Zhongyu
I should have known it earlier, but never stopped her. If it hadn't been for the loose-tongued but careless girl, this Yunshang Pavilion would have been like an iron bucket, and it would have aroused suspicion.
Sure enough, during lunch, Shi Zhongyu knew that the girl had gone to Lin Yuzhi's room.
Lin Yuzhi leaned on the cushion, looked at the oily girl sitting opposite and asked with a frown: "You mean, everyone in Duke Jin's mansion has returned to their hometown?"
The girl nodded, stuffed another mouthful of rock sugar elbow, "Yeah! That's what the shopkeeper said." As she said that, she wiped the oil on her mouth with the back of her hand.
Lin Yuzhi felt sick in her heart. She had no appetite for anything she had seen recently, but in order to win over this girl, she had to ask the kitchen for such big fish and meat every time. She had no choice but to say that she was penniless now.
I picked up the herbal tea on the side and took a sip to suppress the nausea in my heart. I closed my eyes and my mind was filled with long-lasting memories. Has this happened before?
At that time, she was locked up in Qingxinyuan and could not go out. This must have happened. At that time, one of Jin Shouren's first-in-law girls was pregnant, and Mrs. Chu took it very seriously. At that time, I didn't know why Mrs. Chu took it so seriously.
Now that she heard such news again, she had some clarity. It should be that Mrs. Chu knew that something had happened to Jin Shouren and wanted to leave a root. If so...
She couldn't help but touch her belly. Her child should have a chance.
Although Jin Shouren will come back before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, in this half month, if he can get Mrs. Chu to admit himself, admit the child in her belly, and take him into the house... As for the Po Nujun he called out,
She reached out and rubbed her forehead, but there was nothing she could do... Thinking of this, she opened her eyes again and looked at the dishes on the table that had been eaten by this girl, with a smile on her face: "
Seeing how delicious your food is, I can eat more in a while."
The girl pursed her lips and smiled, a little surprised.
Lin Yuzhi opened his mouth, rubbed his forehead, and suddenly said: "What is your name? My... brain... seems to be near my mouth, but I can't get out of it..."
"Girl...what's wrong? Why don't you even remember me?" The chopsticks in the girl's hand suddenly fell to the ground, "I am a magpie, girl, don't see such a joke, it's really scary."
Lin Yuzhi rubbed his forehead and the back of his head, then groaned twice, "Okay! I've written it down, your name is Magpie..."
Magpie looked at Lin Yuzhi suspiciously, "Does your wound hurt again?"
"It's okay! It's okay!" Lin Yuzhi lay back, "Is there a wound on my head? Why does it hurt so much? By the way, I haven't had lunch yet. What do you want to eat? Go to the kitchen and say I want to eat.
…”
Magpie blinked his eyes and looked at the almost eaten food on the table. He thought to himself, can this girl remember things? Or can't she remember things? Let's say she can't remember. How can she still know that I want to eat?
Only with her can you eat delicious food?
But no matter why, this girl is definitely not normal.
"Girl, don't hold it back, I'll tell the shopkeeper." Magpie said, turned around and ran out.
Only then did Lin Yuzhi open his eyes. As long as he had a headache, he didn't believe that the doctor could still insist that he was fine. It's hard to pretend to be sick. It's best to pretend to have a headache. Because he was injured, any possibility is there.
.
After hearing Magpie's reply, Shi Zhongyu's eyes flashed with astonishment. This time she was really astonished. She actually didn't know what Lin Yuzhi would do. She had guessed a lot of ways, but she didn't expect this. She really didn't know what to say.
Is this a smart approach or a stupid one?
But unless she believes in this method, she won't be able to use it.
That’s okay! She wants to play like this, so I cooperate and help her achieve perfection.
So, he stood up quickly and said, "What do you mean? Go and ask Mr. Cao to come."
Mr. Cao came over very quickly, checked his pulse, and looked at Shi Zhongyu strangely. He really wanted to ask, what kind of drama is this? It had been several days since the injury healed, and then he suddenly suffered from amnesia. It was also pretending to be ill.
, Lin Yutong could call him a doctor, but he believed it was true. This person...he didn't diagnose anything wrong anyway.
Looking at Shi Zhongyu's serious face, Mr. Cao turned around and said, "Shopkeeper Shi and I are coming out..."
Shi Zhongyu smiled comfortingly at Lin Yuzhi, turned around and followed Mr. Cao out.
"What's going on here...?" Mr. Cao pointed inside, "I'm still busy and don't have time to accompany the little girl here to pretend to be a family."
Shi Zhongyu pulled Mr. Cao's sleeve and said, "Speak down, my master, I want to play with her... and deal with the aftermath. This girl's acting skills are not good, can you make her act more like..."
Mr. Cao flicked his sleeves: "Isn't this nonsense? Medical skills are to save people, not harm them..."
"That girl's acupuncture is not harmful to people, and it can't be found out." Shi Zhongyu tugged on Mr. Cao's sleeve, "Please think of a way. This girl wants to go back to Duke Jin's Mansion... Mrs. Chu will definitely
I'll ask a doctor to see her, the key is because of her belly... Then we'll find out if there's anything wrong with her brain. You have to make people think that her wound is really..."
Mr. Cao's face became embarrassed, "I don't have the ability like a girl. Acupuncture and moxibustion to seal the meridians is not impossible, but... it will have sequelae. I'm afraid this headache will become real in the future... unless there is a master to help.
She provides medical treatment. Otherwise, even I would..."
Shi Zhongyu glanced inward: "Let's do it. If you want to be prosperous and wealthy, you have to pay a price..."
"Don't say anything?" Mr. Cao glanced inside, "If this is blamed in the future..."
"She doesn't dare!" Shi Zhongyu snorted coldly, "If you have a high eye but a low hand, you won't be able to achieve great things if you don't have a clear mind."
Mr. Cao sighed, then walked in, took out the needle, and reminded him, "I can't remember clearly, maybe because there is congestion in my brain. But if the needle is inserted, your occasional headache may be
It has turned into frequent headaches. Girl, think carefully, do you want acupuncture?"
Lin Yuzhi looked at Mr. Cao's eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, and nodded: "Thank you."
After seeing Mr. Cao off, Shi Zhongyu walked in: "What are you going to do in the future, girl?"
Lin Yuzhi didn't know whether Shi Zhongyu knew anything, so he had to bite the bullet and said: "I am pregnant now. For the sake of the child, I can only find the father of the child first."
Sure enough, this was the plan. Shi Zhongyu was not surprised: "Do you still remember who the father of the child is?"
Lin Yuzhi shook his head: "I only remember Duke Jin's Mansion..."
Shi Zhongyu took a serious look at Lin Yuzhi and only said, "I know!"
After leaving the door, Shi Zhongyu called a woman and whispered a few instructions.
In the middle of the afternoon, Aunt Bai hurriedly entered the Buddhist hall. "Madam!" she hurriedly called to Mrs. Chu who was kneeling in front of the Buddha.
"What?" Mrs. Chu stood up suddenly, "Is there any news? Is there any news about Ren'er?"
Aunt Bai shook her head and then whispered: "Madam, I have heard about the eldest girl from the Lin family."
A trace of disgust flashed across Mrs. Chu's face, "Now I just want to know where my son is? Did something really happen? I don't care about the rest. Whether she is dead or alive has nothing to do with us."
Aunt Bai quickly said: "No, madam. This eldest girl of the Lin family is pregnant."
"What?" Ms. Chu looked at Aunt Bai in disbelief, "Are you happy? Are you sure it's Ren'er's?"
Aunt Bai pondered and said: "It should be true. It's the news from Yunshangge. It is said that Yunshangge's mother-in-law found her from a dog hole on the outer wall of our back garden that day and rescued her. She had been there before.
I was recuperating in Yunshang Pavilion. The time was right. Now the injury is healed, but it may have hurt my brain, and I can’t remember who it was. In addition, I was just diagnosed with pregnancy, and Yunshang Pavilion couldn’t do anything about it.
He continued to raise people like this, so he went to the back door of our house to ask if he was from our house. When I heard this, I came over quickly. Yunshang Pavilion is not a small family, so I won't lie about this."
As for not sending the person back at that time, it’s easy to understand. Who knows what happened when the person was injured like that. If you don’t know what happened, how dare you send the person back at will? Plus, if you can’t remember anything,
I don't know where to send him off. If she wasn't pregnant, I'm afraid they wouldn't dare to come. I guess they took this matter as a sin, thinking that now that they have a child, they won't lose their lives again.
Right. "Now... no matter what, this is the bloodline of the prince. What if..." Just in case, this is a root after all.
The color on Mrs. Chu's face disappeared little by little, "You mean Ren'er will encounter something unexpected?"
"No!" Aunt Bai quickly shook her head. Even if she thought so in her heart, she didn't dare to say it. But once this matter is related to the inheritance of the legitimate son, there is no certainty. It is always good to have a seedling. She whispered
"Madam, I just want to accumulate virtue for the prince. I don't know. Since I know that I am the flesh and blood of my closest relatives, if I really don't care..." She said, looking up at the Buddha statue shrouded in sandalwood, and did not pray to any number of Buddhas.
A real act of kindness can come in handy.
Mrs. Chu immediately understood the unfinished words, "That's it! You go and pick him up. Fortunately, what he said to the fourth wife that day didn't spread. Let's bring him in first and find a doctor to take a look before we go.
Let’s talk to the Lin family.” Is this the right month to see if the child is born?
Aunt Bai responded, quickly asked someone to prepare the carriage, and then got up and went to Yunshang Pavilion.
It's a bit gloomy today, and it gets completely dark in the middle of the afternoon.
Lin Yutong took the somersault noodles out of the pot, simmered them in boiling water, mixed them with meat sauce, and handed them to the fourth master. He didn't prepare any vegetables, so he mixed a cabbage heart and cut half a plate of braised pork.
It's a meal.
The fourth master finished half the pot by himself, and this meal will last until tomorrow morning. The two of them are still busy tonight.
I went to bed early and got up on time. I changed my clothes, packed everything, and went down to the tunnel along the same path as yesterday.
"Where to go next?" He passed through the stone room with the corpse and continued walking along the corridor for a quarter of an hour. He lost the path in front of him. Lin Yutong touched the stone walls on both sides and searched, but couldn't find anything.
The agency, then turned to ask Fourth Master.
However, the fourth master started to retreat from the wall in front of him. Each step was almost the same length. It was not until he reached the ninth step that he reached out and touched the stone wall. He touched the stone wall twice, left and right, and once with his hand.
Zi paused, then reminded Lin Yutong, "Take two steps back..."
Lin Yutong quickly stepped back and regained his footing. The wall moved. It turned ninety degrees, revealing a secret door...
