Judging from the performance of Aunt Gongsun, who he temporarily imprisoned in the county prison, the Ice Silkworm Gu was extraordinary among Gus and was known as the King of all Gus. Along the way, Tang Ning used it to solve many problems.
, and also resolved many difficulties.
But he didn't expect that the Ice Silkworm Gu was not owned by Su Mei, but that she stole it from the old woman for herself, and she was severely punished for it.
Xiaotao curled her lips and said, "You don't even know how kind my lady is to you..."
Tangning looked at her and asked, "Where has your lady gone, and when will she come back?"
Xiaotao snorted coldly, turned her head and said nothing.
Tangning looked at her, walked out of the door, and said to several servants: "Bring everything in."
This time when he came to Tianju, he brought a whole cart full of gifts, half of which were for Su Mei.
He picked out a few gift boxes and handed them to Xiao Tao, saying, "This is a gift for you."
Xiaotao curled her lips and said, "Don't think you can bribe me with these gifts--what is this?"
Tang Ning looked at it and said, "It's nothing, just the rouge from Dianzhuang Pavilion and the sachet from Fuyufang..."
"Ah!" Xiao Tao exclaimed, her eyes lit up, and she said: "The makeup pavilion is in Kyoto, Chu State. We don't sell it here at all. A box of rouge can fetch a sky-high price in the capital, and there is also a price that is unmarketable. The one from Fuyufang
The sachets are also very famous, and few people in the capital have them. How could you...ah, you just came back from the Chu Kingdom!"
Tangning regretfully took the gift box back and said, "I was wrong. I shouldn't have thought of using these things to bribe you..."
When he wanted to put the gift box back, Xiao Tao rushed to him, hugged her tightly, and said, "The lady has gone out to do errands and will be back in a moment. Go to her room and wait for her!"
Tangning walked into Su Mei's room, pushed open the door, and saw a messy room and a messy bed.
If countless men in the capital knew about the goddess in their hearts, I wonder what they would think in their hearts if the room looked like this.
Xiao Tao was also an anomaly among the maids. She only liked playing with snakes and didn't even know how to clean the room. This was the only pair of masters and servants Tangning had ever seen.
He walked to the table, sorted out the messy files on the table, swept away the waste paper on the floor, and dumped it into the trash can in the corner of the yard.
Finally, there was her bed. He folded the clothes and placed them on the bedside. He folded the quilt halfway and then spread it out after thinking about it. It would be spread out later anyway, so there was no need to do anything extra.
"So early?" He had just made the bed when a familiar voice came from the door.
Su Mei covered her mouth and coughed a few times, then walked in, looked at him and said, "Goodbye is better than a wedding. I thought you wouldn't get out of bed today."
Tangning had long liked the way she drove. Her voice sounded a little strange, so she raised her head and asked, "What's wrong with your voice?"
"A little bit of wind chill, it won't be a problem." Su Mei looked at the room and said, "You took care of everything here?"
Tangning looked around and was very satisfied with her finishing results. She looked at her and said, "You should tell Xiao Tao, don't let her be lazy all the time."
Xiao Tao ran in from the outside, glared at Tang Ning, and ignored him. She waved the things in her hands in front of Su Mei's eyes and said, "Miss, look, this is the rouge from Dianzhuang Pavilion and the fragrance from Fuyufang."
Bag……"
Su Mei looked at her and said, "Okay, take what you like and go out. Remember to close the door."
Xiaotao closed the door and ran out. Tangning shook her head and said, "You are too spoiled to her."
"She is the only relative I have." Su Mei came over, sat by the bed, took off her coat, and said, "I watched her grow up."
Tangning glanced at her and said, "You still have me and mother, so what if you are a younger brother and are not younger brothers?"
"I accidentally said something wrong..." Su Mei said in a cooing voice, got into the quilt and said, "Good brother, just sit here and wait for me to wake up."
Tang Ning was a little envious of her sleeping whenever she wanted, and felt even more sorry for her suffering from insomnia.
From the moment she met her, her complexion was not very good. At first, Tang Ning thought that her insomnia was caused by mental fatigue, but later she gradually realized that it was not the case.
This woman, the most beautiful woman in the capital, who can manipulate all the men in the capital with just a move of her hands, is actually extremely insecure in her heart. This is generally related to her own experience, but what has she experienced before?
Tangning didn't know.
He had tried soothing incense, sleeping pills, and even the method of acupuncture points, but they didn't have much effect on her.
The soothing incense is of no use to her. She took too many sleeping pills in the past, and now her body has developed resistance. As for the sleeping point, this is a method that is harmful to the body and cannot be used multiple times. What's more, she
I don’t know what kind of weird kung fu she has practiced, but acupuncture is of no use to her...
Tang Ning sat on the edge of the bed and walked around for a while. When she looked down again, she was already sleeping peacefully, breathing steadily.
He raised his arm and smelled it. He didn't smell anything special on him. He then looked down at Su Mei. Her ability to fall asleep quickly as long as she was around him was probably due to some psychological reason.
.
Thinking that her voice was a bit strange when she spoke just now, and she seemed to be coughing a little, Tang Ning stood up and planned to use her free time to find a pear and boil it with honey.
As soon as he stood up, Su Mei suddenly held his hand.
Although she was still asleep, her brows suddenly frowned and she murmured: "Don't leave me..."
Tang Ning had no choice but to sit down again, but she saw that she looked nervous and sweat was forming on her forehead, and she said hurriedly: "Father, mother, don't leave me behind, don't leave Mei'er behind..."
"Don't leave me. I will be obedient. If I don't eat food, I will give it all to my brother..."
…
She seemed to be having a nightmare, her body curled up together, and she kept mumbling to herself, her voice muffled.
She is often dishonest when sleeping, and occasionally talks in her sleep, mostly in a vague way, but not as clearly as this time.
Tangning held her hand, took out a handkerchief, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and said softly: "No one will leave you behind..."
After a few words of comfort, her body gradually calmed down and her brows slowly relaxed.
Tang Ning let her hold her hand and sat quietly in front of the bed.
…
As soon as Su Mei opened her eyes, she saw Tang Ning sitting by the bed looking at her.
It was an extremely comfortable sleep. She was full of energy at the moment. She looked at Tangning and asked, "How long have I slept?"
Tangning thought for a while and said, "About an hour."
Su Mei was surprised and said: "So long?"
Tang Ning said, "You wash up first, and I'll help you cook something."
Su Mei shook her head and said, "Just let Xiao Tao tell the kitchen to do it."
Tang Ning said, "I'm going to cook a rock sugar pear to soothe your throat. They can't control the heat."
A trace of tenderness flashed in Su Mei's eyes and she said, "Then go ahead."
Tangning looked down and said, "You have to let go of my hand first."
Only then did Su Mei realize that she was still holding his hand, with their fingers clasped together. No wonder she felt very at ease after waking up. She reluctantly let go and said, "Go ahead."
Naturally furnished with all the ingredients, Tang Ning prepared rock sugar and snow pear. When she returned to Su Mei's room, she had already finished washing up.
He put the bowl on the table and said, "Eat it while it's hot."
Su Mei took a sip of the soup first, and then said: "You went to Chu State this time, and you caused quite a stir."
Tangning sat down opposite her and said, "Actually, we didn't do anything. It was just luck."
Su Mei took a bite of the snow pear and asked, "Have you captured the little princess along the way?"
In front of Zhao Man, he was passive all the way, and was taken down by her when Li Tianlan tapped his acupoints and couldn't move.
Tangning did not answer her, but pointed to a box on the table and said, "I put the ice silkworm Gu and epilepsy Gu in it."
Thinking of the middle-aged woman, he looked at Su Mei and asked, "Do you know a woman named Gongsun Ying?"
Su Mei shook her head and said, "I've never heard of it."
Tangning thought for a while and then asked, "What about Bai Jin?"
Su Mei put down the spoon she had picked up, looked at him, and asked in surprise: "How do you know this name?"
