Lu Qingtang poured the medicine he had painstakingly cooked out through the window, and then closed the window.
The whole room was filled with the bitter smell of herbs, but it did not affect their discussion of the next step at all.
Lu Qingtang was the first to speak. He was afraid that there might be ears through the wall, so he lowered his voice, "I was boiling medicine outside just now. There were many servants coming in and out of the kitchen. I thought I would start with these lower-status people."
She raised a finger and said, "First, these people know a lot of gossip. Maybe the people above don't even know that my mother exists. Second, if our purpose is too obvious, the Valley Master and the others will discover it." of."
Ji Wenzhan agreed with her words. He nodded and said, "My little sister is right, but I saw that the master Li looked squinty. He is not a good thing. You still have to be careful."
Lu Qingtang smiled and waved at him, "You don't have to worry about this. Whether it's art or kung fu, he is no match for me as a rookie, so don't be afraid of him. But he is a pretty good breakthrough point. If we use it well, we may be able to get through quickly." You can leave here."
Lying on the bed, Zeng Ke couldn't help but make a "tsk, tsk" sound, and said disdainfully: "You'd better be careful, that thing is not a good person at first glance, don't be careful and let him eat tofu. "
Lu Qingtang knew that he was caring about her, so he comforted him: "It's okay, I will be careful."
After saying that, she stood up and put away the medicine jars and medicine bowls she had just used. "I have to take them and wash them. If you two are fine, don't come out yet. Have a good rest tonight. We will proceed as planned tomorrow."
Zeng Ke and Ji Wenzhan nodded in response.
Lu Qingtang left the room with the medicine jar and bowl, closed the door, and went to the well to rinse them.
While she was washing, she saw Miaoshou Li walking towards her carrying something.
He stood aside with a smile and said, "The well water is so cold, how can you wash the dishes by yourself?"
Lu Qingtang raised his head and smiled at him, "It's okay. I've done a lot and don't feel cold."
She said this with her mouth, but she despised him in her heart.
What a stinky man, no wonder he is an old bachelor. What's the use of just talking, why don't you help.
With this thought in mind, I heard Miao Shou Li say: "How about I help you?"
Lu Qingtang raised his eyes to look at him, smiled playfully and said, "That's good."
Miaoshou Li was stunned for a moment, and just as he put down the things in his hands, Lu Qingtang picked up the washed medicine jars and medicine bowls.
He changed his words again: "You have finished washing, then let's do it next time."
Lu Qingtang smiled, but felt sick in his heart. He turned around and put the medicine jar and bowl back into the kitchen and walked out. Miao Li was still standing outside carrying things, as if waiting for someone.
So she asked: "Brother Li, who are you waiting for?"
Miaoshou Li smiled, "Of course I'm waiting for you."
He shook the things in his hand and said, "These are all for you, you need them for daily life."
Lu Qingtang smiled and said "thank you" and reached out to take the thing, but heard him say: "I'll take it in for you."
With that said, he carried his things and went straight into Lu Qingtang's room.
Looking at his back, Lu Qingtang curled his lips.
How come she doesn't know what bad idea he has, isn't it just for the things between men and women?
I knew he wouldn't save people in vain.
But it is easy to deal with such people, and Lu Qingtang has many ideas.
When he walked into the house, he saw that Miao Shou Li had already put things on the cabinet.
He picked up a package and put it aside. "This contains some old clothes. You can wear them as you go. When we get married, I will make new ones for you. You can wear them without worry, they are not worth much."
Lu Qingtang was a little strange.
She could understand the cake painted in the front, but what did the following sentence "not worth much" mean?
Could it be that she had to pay him to wear some of his old clothes?
Who is it?
I rolled my eyes in my heart and heard him say again: "I saw this in southern Yunnan County a few days ago. I originally wanted to buy it for my future wife, but I didn't expect to meet you."
He said, handing the hairpin in his hand to her, "Take it and wear it. This one costs two coins. It's very valuable."
Lu Qingtang reached out and took the "precious" broken hairpin, secretly curling his lips in disgust.
Is this also called a hairpin? Isn't it just an awl to hold the soles of shoes? She saw Kou Dan using it.
A copper hairpin with two thin wires tied to the head to make a gourd shape. It was ridiculously ugly.
It really looks more and more like an awl.
What the hell, two pennies is still about the same, so she felt unlucky to give her a hundred taels.
Unexpectedly, her face was full of disgust, but Miao Shou Li had another idea.
He smiled and said to Lu Qingtang: "Oh, you are dumbfounded. You have never seen such a good thing, have you? Come on, let me put it on for you."
He pressed the back of Lu Qingtang's head forcefully, inserted the "awl" diagonally into her temple, then turned around with a smile and continued to sort out the things he had just brought.
Lu Qingtang didn't dare to move at this moment and was about to cry without tears.
Who is a good person who uses an awl plug as a hairpin?
It’s okay to be poor, just pick a little bit. You say that your aesthetics is not up to par, which is a bit irritating.
Gritting her teeth, she heard the fussy man speak again, "This is the handkerchief embroidered by my mother. It's very convenient for you to use to wipe sweat or something."
Lu Qingtang glanced at the dragonfly embroidered on it. The dragonfly was as fat as a silkworm chrysalis due to overnutrition. This reminded her of Sai Yuhuan in The Three Heroes of Jinshan.
She forced a smile and praised the dragonfly, "Wow, this dragonfly is so beautiful!"
Li, the master next to him, laughed, "No, this is a butterfly. You northerners rarely see butterflies. It's normal if you don't recognize them. Let me tell you, when the flowers bloom in the Yaowang Valley next spring, they will be everywhere. Butterfly, be careful."
"Besides, my mother is also a good embroiderer. If this handkerchief were on the market, it would cost at least five cents!"
Lu Qingtang couldn't help being surprised.
Five cents!
Wow, it’s really... awesome...
Is this thing also called a butterfly?
Is this thing worth five cents?
I bother!
The wings of butterflies in any good family are long, aren’t they all shaped like petals?
Any butterfly Mo Mo draws would look better than this one.
It’s really worse than a three-year-old child!
Although he was complaining in his heart, his face showed shyness, "Okay, thank you very much, Brother Li."
After saying that, she almost felt sick from what she said.
Master Li smiled and said, "Why don't you call me Brother Li? Call me Daqing. Call me Brother Li for more points."
Lu Qingtang smiled sadly, "Okay, Daqing."
After chatting with him for a while, the guy finally left, and Lu Qingtang felt happy.
Standing in front of the door, watching him leave, she suddenly noticed a strange gaze staring at her, but when she turned around, she didn't see anyone.
Maybe I saw it wrong.
With this thought in her mind, she went to the next room again and showed the awl she just got to Ji Wenzhan and Zeng Ke.
The two brothers in the next room could hear the conversation between Li Daqing and her clearly.
As soon as she stood in front of the door, before she could speak, she heard Zeng Ke laugh, "Second sister, why did you put Kuo Dan's awl on your head?"
Lu Qingtang rolled his eyes at him, "Get out!"
Stepping into the house, she took off the hairpin on her head, and then said to them both: "This broken hairpin feels like it will attract thunder when I wear it on my head. It's so scary."
Zeng Ke continued to tease, "How about you lend me a hand? I have a blood blister on my foot. Let me pop it."
Lu Qingtang looked disgusted, "You've used it on your feet, how can I put it on my head? I'll go find the needle myself."
As she spoke, she put the gourd-shaped hollow on the hairpin on her finger, made a few random flowers, and then quickly stabbed Ji Wenzhan's neck.
Ji Wenzhan ducked back and grabbed her wrist with his backhand.
Lu Qingtang quickly pointed the hairpin at his hand and pierced it.
But it didn't really stab him, he just tapped it lightly, and then said to him: "Brother, look, this thing is quite good as a weapon, Emei Thorn! It can also be used for self-defense."
Ji Wenzhan also smiled reluctantly, "How about you use it to make Emei thorns? I think it's pretty good."
After saying that, the three of them laughed together.
In the evening, Li Daqing came to show his courtesy again.
He took the initiative to set up a small table in Lu Qingtang's room and brought the food himself.
The meal was quite sumptuous, with both meat and vegetables and wine. It was said to be a welcoming banquet for their arrival.
Li Daqing pointed at the bottle of wine and praised: "This bottle of wine is really good. I didn't even have a chance to drink it, so I brought it here for you to try!"
Lu Qingtang actually felt that something was wrong, glanced at Ji Wenzhan and Zeng Ke next to him, and gave them a look.
She then said to Li Daqing: "I don't know how to drink. My brother is sick and cannot drink. My eldest brother can't drink well. Let's forget about this drink."
However, Li Daqing said: "Just drink a little. Who would use wine as food?"
It’s not that I can’t refute this, but I don’t want to refute it.
Lu Qingtang felt that there might be something wrong with the wine, or that there was something wrong with Li Daqing.
She reached out to open the wine, smelled the wine, dipped her finger in it and tasted it. There was no problem, but the alcohol was a bit strong.
Li Daqing smiled proudly at her, "How's it going, pretty girl, doesn't it taste good?"
Lu Qingtang smiled shyly, "It's spicy, I can't taste anything."
Li Daqing's face showed vulgarity, and he reached out to touch Lu Qingtang's face, "I like spicy food."
Lu Qingtang smiled and ran away, feeling sick in his heart.
While washing his hands, Lu Qingtang reminded the two of them, "Let me tell you, Li Daqing has a problem. He might want to get you drunk and trick you."
Ji Wenzhan couldn't help but worry, "What should I do? I don't drink well. What should I do if I drink too much and talk nonsense?"
Zeng Ke curled his lips and said to Lu Qingtang sourly: "Maybe I want to get you drunk and then take advantage of you."
He spread his hands and said, "It's over. I'm not a good drinker either. What if I get drunk?"
Lu Qingtang smiled proudly, "This is not easy, look at me!"
Ji Wenzhan and Zeng Ke couldn't help but wonder, what good solution could she have?
