Lin Zhu just put the cap of the medicinal oil on the mouth of the bottle. When he heard Cheng Miao say this, his hand shook and he spilled half of the bottle.
He quickly wiped his body with a towel, but the smell became stronger and stronger, so he had no choice but to go back to the room and get a new one.
By the time Lin Zhu came back, Cheng Miao had basically sorted out his thoughts and signaled Lin Zhu to close the door tightly, and the two went into the inner room to talk.
"The hints at the beginning of the copy, Chang's Mansion, Mrs. Chang's family name is Wei, and everything that happened tonight all prove that we are in the story of Gejin in Liaozhai."
"I know this! It seems to be about the flower demon!" Lin Zhu raised his hands as if speaking, which made Cheng Miao curl up his lips. Children of this age, even top academics, like to read extracurricular books. Knowing and Not surprising.
"It's just that I don't remember clearly." Lin Zhu felt a little embarrassed after saying that. He raised his glasses and looked at Cheng Miao with bright eyes.
Cheng Miao supported his chin with his hand, looked at the flickering flames in the lampshade, and told the story slowly and calmly.
"Chang Dayong from Luoyang was particularly fond of peonies. When he stayed with a friend in Caozhou, he spent every day hanging out in his garden about the peonies and reciting poems about them. When he ran out of money, he pawned his clothes and guarded the peonies in the garden. flowering."
"One day, I bumped into a fairy-like woman and an old woman in the garden. After being scolded, I regretted it for a while, and missed the girl for a while. After a few days, I became very haggard."
"Three days later, the old woman took a cup and said it was poison prepared by Madam Gejin. Chang Dayong felt that it would be better to take the poison than to die of lovesickness, so he drank the contents of the cup. However, he felt a strange fragrance and fell ill as soon as he woke up. Okay. From now on, I will have a better future and kneel down in the garden every day."
"Then there was a common encounter over the wall in ancient novels, and we even met Ge Jin's sister Yuban. After so many days, Ge Jin dug out silver coins from the garden to finance Chang Dayong, and the two returned to Luoyang to get married, and later The jade tablet was promised to Chang Dayong's younger brother."
Lin Zhu saw that Cheng Miao had stopped when he said this, and asked with some unfinished thoughts, "What happened next?"
Cheng Miao shook his head, "We should be at this time now, and the next thing has not happened yet."
"In other words, Chang Dayong only knows that Gejin's family name is Wei, but he doesn't know that Mrs. Cao Guo is the name of the peony, let alone that this peony variety is called Gejin Purple."
"So what happens next may not necessarily follow the original text." Cheng Miao frowned. This copy was even more deviated from the original work than [The Home of Three Little Bears]. In the original work, Ge Jin and Chang Dayong were very affectionate. Yes, even though Ge Jin is a flower demon, he has never hurt anyone, but this is not the case in this copy.
Lin Zhu knew what Cheng Miao meant, nodded, and then asked the most important point, "What happened to the Chang family master in the original text?"
Cheng Miao's eyes suddenly darkened as he looked at the candlelight, "Chang Da used the two brothers to question the Ge Jin Jade Edition as a flower demon, which angered them. The two threw the child to the ground and disappeared."
Lin Zhu was dumbfounded and fell to the ground?
No wonder the dungeon mission is to save Young Master Chang.
"Then we tell Mr. Chang the identity of Mrs. Chang in advance and ask him to keep quiet?" Lin Zhu slapped the table, and his brainstormed, "Or just kill the clues about Mrs. Chang's identity so that he will never know about it?" Who is the lady?"
wrong! Cheng Miao finally figured out the problem, stood up, and walked back and forth in the room, "Ge Jin is not in love with Chang Dayong in this dungeon, and her jealousy is very strong, so she may not be discovered because of her identity." He was so angry that he threw the child to death."
"The clue given to Mrs. Cao Guo is to let us discover Ge Jin's identity, not to let us follow the story to pass the level."
Lin Zhu couldn't keep up with Cheng Miao's fast thinking, but he still tried hard to ask his own questions. The experience of a top student: Listening more and asking more can make progress. "Then what's the use of knowing Mrs. Chang's identity?"
Cheng Miao turned around and looked at Lin Zhu and curled up the corners of his mouth, "Ge Jin is a flower demon, and flower demons are also flowers. You have read a room full of books and haven't found the weakness of peonies?"
That's right. Lin Zhu slapped his forehead and found a lump that hurt his teeth. "Peony flowers are afraid of fire and flooding. This is not easy to operate. Peony flowers also avoid odor."
"Musk!" The two of them said the same word at the same time, and laughed tacitly.
Yes, musk.
Isn’t this what they say on TV? When musk deer is buried in the soil, the trees will stop blooming.
"Look," Cheng Miao was very pleased with Lin Zhu now. Cheng Miao couldn't hold back her cold expression towards those who pleased her. She arched her eyebrows and smiled and said, "won't your props be used soon? ?”
Lin Zhu was stunned by Cheng Miao's smile, and after reacting, he nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
Cheng Miao stretched, with a look of fatigue on his face, "Get some rest, nothing will happen tonight. Let's go find Mr. Chang tomorrow."
There was a hole in the outer window, so Cheng Miao didn't let his servants change it in the middle of the night for fear of alarming others, and now the air was leaking inside.
Although he knew that Cheng Miao's guess was correct, Lin Zhu didn't dare to sleep outside, so he could only grab a quilt and lay it on the floor.
As if he was frying pancakes over and over again, Lin Zhu still wasn't asleep when he heard Cheng Miao's breathing. Lin Zhu asked in a low voice, "Sister Miaomiao?"
"Huh?" Cheng Miao didn't want to open his eyes, so he hummed a sound from his nasal cavity.
"Then why can I see a female ghost and the tree branch is directed at you?" He was troubled by this question and couldn't sleep now.
Cheng Miao turned over, turned his back to the outside, and adjusted his breathing, "She attacked me because Chang Dayong wanted to ask me to be my concubine. She was angry, so she attacked me with her body. You saw the female ghost, I guess it was because of you I mentioned this during dinner in the morning, and the rules stipulate that she can use this to scare you."
Cheng Miao's voice became smaller and smaller, and he was about to fall asleep, but he still struggled to finish the sentence, "I guess it was just an illusion, just to scare you. Don't delay her from finding trouble with me. She is a flower demon and wants to attack people." You still have to use your true body, who knows if I meet someone like you who is not afraid of ghosts."
Hearing Cheng Miao's heavy breathing, Lin Zhu didn't dare to speak anymore and carefully turned over. Perhaps because Cheng Miao was beside him, he felt at ease and fell asleep unconsciously.
Early the next morning, before Cheng Miao opened her eyes, she heard Lin Zhu's gentle gasp outside.
I didn't dare to sleep too deeply in the dungeon, but I needed to rest after all. Cheng Miao, who was in a light sleep, woke up at the slightest movement.
"What's wrong?" The voice was still a little muffled in the morning. Cheng Miao cleared his throat and saw Lin Zhu climbing in hastily carrying a copper basin without water.
"The window...the hole in the window is gone!" Lin Zhu was worried that he had been marked by Ge Jin, so he didn't get much rest. As soon as it got light, he wanted to wash up first and then get some water for Cheng Miao.
After all, he is not a real noble young master. He understands the principle of making enough food and clothing by himself.
Unexpectedly, I was rubbing my eyes and carrying the basin and found something wrong before I even opened the door. I looked carefully and saw that there was still a big hole in the window last night. I don’t know when it was repaired.
