Blissful Days After Widowhood - Chapter 95

     Butter tea is a special food in Tibet, and Gu Yin has traveled there.

    At first, she was a little uncomfortable with it, but after eating it a few times, she felt that it was unique.

    But the bowl in my hand smells different.

    She frowned slightly, Wu Qing asked, “But what’s wrong?”

    Gu Yin said: “I can’t tell, but the smell is not right. It seems to have the smell of medicinal herbs.”

    To be a cook, a keen sense of smell and taste is a must. Since Gu Yin said it, there must be something wrong.

    Wu Qingyi stood up, “Why don’t you ask my master to take a look.”

    Not long after, the old doctor in front tried to use it together with everyone, just went back to rest, and was invited over again, still muttering in a low voice: “It’s not a good thing, definitely It’s okay!”

    But after the murmuring, after Gu Yin finished explaining, the old doctor turned his face, and immediately checked the bowl of butter tea.

    Not long after, the old man reported the names of several medicinal herbs, and since there was no one who was familiar with pharmacology, he explained: “This is a medicine that makes people lose their voices and can’t speak! “

    Gu Yin immediately looked at Gu Ye, and Gu Ye said, “Brother Xiao Feng had someone send a message to me, saying that his throat has been dry and sore recently, and he might have to rest someday. He asked the doctor to see it, but the doctor said he was just tired and angry. He didn’t say he was poisoned.”

    The old doctor waved his hand and said: “These herbs are not poisonous in themselves, it’s just that the mixture of several different medicines is poisonous and hurts people’s body. And this recipe is generally incapable of doctors. I know, I heard that some high-profile families, if they are known by their servants, will give them this kind of food. A few medicines will make people unable to speak again in this life, so naturally they will keep it secret. live their secrets.”

    “That little brother…”

    “The child’s drug resistance is not as good as that of adults. He can still speak and even sing, but he probably hasn’t eaten much. He is also lucky. However, if he really eats and breaks his throat, I won’t be able to prepare any antidote for a while.” The old doctor said very seriously.

    Gu Ye nodded again and again and asked Gu Yin, “Mother, can I take Brother Xiaofeng over?”

    Although the old doctor said that Xiao Fengxian must not lose her voice at the moment, she must let the old doctor see it in person to make people feel at ease.

    Gu Yin thought about it and then said: “Pomegranate drove over, and said that we have relatives in our family who like to listen to the show and want to see him, so I asked him to come over and sing. It’s okay later. There are many houses around our house, and the same is true of living in our house. Remember to behave as usual.”

    Song Shiliu helped to run several errands in front of her, and her work became more and more efficient.

    The night scene of Jixiang Theater has already started, and it will not end until the curfew time.

    Song Shiliu followed Wang to listen to the play a few times, and she is considered an old acquaintance here.

    But she doesn’t have the privilege to enter the backstage, so she can only let people pass the word.

    Brother Xiaofeng ate the loquat and Sydney ointment sent by Gu Ye before, and felt better. But until now, the throat has started to burn again, and even speaking has become a problem.

    At this time, he must rest immediately, but because someone from Gu Ye’s family invited him, he immediately removed his makeup and changed his clothes.

    Song Shiliu brought a cloak that Gu Ye often wore at home, and when he saw Brother Xiaofeng put it on him, he was about to leave.

    The pretty Huadan quickly said: “This girl, I am the Huadan in the troupe. If you want to invite someone, won’t you invite me along?”

    The people in the troupe naturally have no way of knowing that Gu Ye is behind the British government.

    But people who own such a big restaurant are also very rich in the eyes of these people.

    That’s why the pretty girl came over.

    The curfew was imminent. Although Song Shiliu brought her own waist badge, it took a lot of words for the soldiers to stop her. So Song Shiliu didn’t have time to talk to him, and while walking out with Brother Xiaofeng, he said, “Our wife only invites Brother Xiaofeng.”

    The two brought a few servants brought out by Song Shiliu and blew away like a gust of wind.

    Because it happened at the front desk, the pretty girl was rushing to go with people, but the things that were left behind made many spectators look at it.

    The Huadan was said to be flushed, embarrassed and angry, but the owner of the garden came out to relieve the siege and asked the spectators to go home before the curfew.

    Hearing this, Hua Dan’s face became better.

    He believes that no matter his voice or appearance, whether in Jingu or Beijing, he is outstanding.

    But Brother Xiaofeng is getting more and more challenging every day, especially in recent days, he has grown a little longer, and he looks forward to another two years, as long as he survives the collapse smoothly, he will How can Hua Dan not be in a hurry?

    That’s why he thought about taking over the olive branch from the garden owner and changing to the garden owner’s own play troupe.

    But later Xiaofeng brother Gu Ye provided a playbook, which is really a good book, as long as you have a little discernment, you will not refuse such a book.

    He stayed again.

    But under his interpretation, this little sister-in-law, although bad, is stupid, often not harming others, but harming herself.

    For example, while her sister-in-law was washing clothes by the river, she wanted to push her sister-in-law into the river, but her sister-in-law just turned around and she fell into it herself.

    I also gave my sister-in-law chin bean powder to make my sister-in-law embarrassed in front of others. As a result, she made a mistake in her memory and ate the bowl with croton by herself, and then made a condescension in front of everyone. Almost ashamed myself.

    This kind of stupidity can’t harm others at all, but harms himself laugh.

    Especially Xiaofeng’s appearance is also beautiful day by day, and the spectators are naturally more tolerant of his role.

    He felt that Brother Xiaofeng was deliberately stepping on him like this to show him.

    The so-called “Hua Dan” refers to a female character with a lively, flamboyant, and comedic character. He is also famous for singing Hua Dan, which is why he has the nicknames “Sai Diao Chan” and “Pretty Hua Dan”.

    But since she arrived in the capital, it is impossible for the owner of the garden to give them a tailor-made book. Most of the songs she sings are biased towards Tsing Yi Zhengdan.

    But they are not the owner’s own people, so don’t think about her.

    But Brother Xiaofeng is not, Brother Xiaofeng is the class leader. Why don’t you know how to think about it for him?

    One time, and the second time, Qiaohuadan thought he did it on purpose!

    Not long ago, the owner of the garden persuaded him to leave the troupe again. He was heartbroken and tangled. Of course, the entanglement was no longer the love in the past, but the thought of leaving Xiaofeng, but there is no Such a good playbook.

    After finishing this errand, if you can get a sum of money, people can’t find out how dumb Xiaofeng is.

    At that time, Brother Xiaofeng didn’t know that he was hurting others, he would only think that it was because of his own body, which would affect the troupe.

    He naturally won’t keep the playbook for himself, and he has to share it with Qiaohuadan as compensation.

    Shiweitian cooperated with him, not just because the young master’s family Gu Ye and him are friends, could it be that Xiaofeng has lost his voice, and Shiweitian will not advertise?

    Then they will be cheaper.

      achieved.

    …

    Brother Xiaofeng was taken to the British government by Song Shiliu.

    It was a curfew, and most people would rest early, and the street was pitch-dark.

    But there are still two large red lanterns hanging at the gate of the British government’s mansion, shining on the plaque, and the golden lacquer sign is glowing red, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is shining at night.

    Brother Xiaofeng faintly had soft legs.

    Song Shiliu picked him up and entered the mansion.

    Wang has already accompanied Wu Zhong to rest first. Only Gu Yin and Wu Qingyi, the old doctor fairy, and of course Gu Ye, who is worried about friends, are left in the room.

    “Madam, the servant has invited someone.” Song Shiliu entered the room, staring in a sleepy state, while still not forgetting to answer.

    Gu Yin asked her to go to bed quickly.

    Because she was doing errands for herself, Gu Ye also said: “Pomegranate will rest tomorrow, and it will be fine to sleep until noon.”

    Song Shiliu blushed. Since she hit the British government, she has a sense of crisis, for fear that others will steal the position of the first maid. So work more diligently than before.

    But at the age she is growing up, the earlier she gets up and the more work she does, it also means that she will be hungry in the afternoon and sleepy in the afternoon.

    Gu Yin and Wang Shi did not see her as a person, but as a family member.

    Especially the Wang family, who is most fond of the younger generation, will naturally not deduct her food and rest time.

    So usually she only does one morning’s work, eats the same good dishes as Wang’s and the others at noon, plus two big bowls of rice, and then takes a nap after eating.

    Wang shi didn’t go to look for her in the afternoon when she was free.

    If you sleep late tomorrow, you will be resting all day.

    “No no, slaves still have to get up early.” Song Shiliu blushed and resigned.

    The more Gu Yin looked at her, the more fun she became.

    Brother Xiaofeng entered the house behind Song Shiliu. After entering the house, he immediately took off his cloak and saluted everyone.

    Gu Ye grabbed him and said, “Don’t be so polite, just be the same as before.”

    Brother Xiaofeng looked at him with a warm heart.

    In the past, he thought he was the son of a wealthy businessman, and he was willing to make friends with a generation of three religions and nine-class people like himself.

    While talking, Gu Ye explained to him in a few words that the butter tea had been drugged.

    Brother Xiaofeng was surprised, and the old doctor gave him a pulse, and said, “Fortunately, I haven’t eaten much, so it has little effect. Your throat should just be dry and itchy recently, right?”

    When Xiaofeng heard this, his face became more solemn and he asked, “How long do I have to rest?”

    The old doctor did the math, “Because there is no antidote, I will talk about a year and a half less, and a year or two more.”

    He took two steps back with a white face. In half a year and a year, he must change his voice, and he must rest again during that time.

    If it goes well, you have to rest for a year and a half;

    The old doctor said comfortably: “It’s just that you don’t sing for this time, it doesn’t mean you can’t speak.”

    Brother Xiaofeng shook his head with a white face.

    Why did he let the class master open the night show during this time?

    Because I know that I am getting old, I will close my position soon, I want to take advantage of this time to earn more money.

    Not for myself, but for the entire troupe.

    That pretty girl is naturally not worried about the way out, but the other small characters in the troupe, the little dragons, have no skills, but they are not young. To have nowhere to go.

    At the moment, what he thinks most is not who will give him medicine, but the fear that he can no longer support the livelihood of these people.

    Gu Ye silently patted his shoulder and asked him about butter tea.

    Brother Xiaofeng said: “Today’s butter tea was sent by the owner of the garden. I don’t have a good relationship with him. I didn’t want to touch the food he sent, it’s a singer from the same troupe. My senior brother persuaded me to eat it. Now that I think about it, my senior brother often finds some rare food to eat with me… I still felt strange before, thinking that in order to maintain his body shape, he was not particular about it. The person who has a craving for food has also asked him. I think it is to dispel my doubts, so this time the butter tea is sent by the owner of the garden.”

    That medicine powder is not a colorless and odorless poison, and it is easy for people to notice that the taste is wrong when it is put into ordinary food. So they chose the kind of food that Xiao Feng had never eaten before.

    I didn’t expect that it was precisely because of this that Gu Ye took the buttered tea home, and Gu Yin, who knew what butter tea should taste like, discovered the flaw.

    “These two vicious people!” Gu Ye looked at Gu Yin indignantly, “Mother, can we report to the officials?”

    Gu Yin frowned and pondered, and after a while, said: “The old doctor said that this medicine is not common among the people, and it is something hidden by a wealthy family. Where did the garden owner and Nadanjiao come from? We reported to the official, and the two of them naturally couldn’t run away, but it is hard to guarantee that they were concerned about the identity of the other party and dared not confess truthfully, and they would be alarmed at the back, fearing that it would be difficult to investigate again.”

    “What should I do then?” Gu Ye was worried and scratched his head habitually.

    Gu Yin looked at the old doctor fairy and smiled in a pleasing manner.

    The old doctor fairy was chilled by her laughter, and hurriedly said: “If you have something to say, don’t laugh at the old man, the old man panics!”

    Gu Yin said angrily: “You are Qingyi’s master, and naturally you are no different from my master. How can the master speak like this, the disciple-in-law treats you as her own master. What’s wrong with smiling at you? “

    The old doctor was even more anxious than her, urging her to think of a way to quickly say, don’t leave it here to make things right!

    Gu Yin smiled and said, “Just trouble Master and distribute some of this medicine.”

    The old medical fairy is helpless, he is a medical fairy, not a poison fairy. Little, I still have to make a similar amount. Is this really using him as a living god?

    However, Gu Yin was so affectionate with his master, he couldn’t refuse, so he could only nod and say, “I know, I’ll go back and read the books, and I’ll give it to you in two days. Match it out.”

    …

    Brother Xiaofeng lived in the British government for two days before returning to the theater.

    For two days, of course, he did not miss the business. He still went back to sing at the time, but every time he went there, he also brought the servants of the British government to give him food and drink. Leave immediately after singing.

    The owner of the garden and Hua Dan naturally had no chance to take the medicine again. The two of them didn’t know much about the medicine, and they were afraid that if they stopped taking it, it would have no effect.

    Brother Xiaofeng did not come out of the garden on this day, so the garden owner and Hua Dan repeated the old tricks.

    This time, the owner of the garden asked people to buy yogurt from outside. This thing is not uncommon, but it tastes fishy and can also cover up the smell of the medicine powder.

    The two of them went to the backstage together, and Brother Xiaofeng just took a rest. Not only him, but also Gu Ye.

    The owner of the garden entered the house and said distressedly: “My God, you see that you are tired, so you have to make up for it! This is the goat milk soup I just bought from outside, you Take a quick bite.”

    Brother Xiaofeng didn’t refuse this time, took the yogurt soup into his hands, and said apologetically, “It’s all thanks to the garden owner and senior brother being thorough these days, I’ll eat this alone when I come back. Things, how can I feel good about it? Why don’t we eat together?”

    The owner and Hua Dan naturally refused.

    Gu Ye sat next to him, sniffed and said, “I’m a little hungry too, why don’t we share it.”

    These words made both the garden owner and Hua Dan stunned.

    We all know that this is the young master who eats for heaven. If they really eat him, the consequences are not something they can bear!

    But at this point, there is no turning back. The owner of the garden said: “No need to divide, you are not the only one who has it, I bought a lot. You eat this bowl first, and I will Let someone bring three bowls over.”

    The other three bowls of yogurt were delivered not long after, Xiao Feng put down the bowl in his hand and put it in one place with them.

    The same bowl of yogurt soup, the garden owner and Hua Dan stared closely, for fear of getting it wrong.

    After listening to Gu Ye’s eyes shift, he exclaimed: “Why is there a hole in this robe?”

    The robe is very important to the people in Liyuan, especially now that “Kingdom” is being sung, if the robe is good or bad, it will ruin the sign.

    The owner of the garden and Hua Dan subconsciously got up to look at the robe next to him, but they looked at Gu Ye and said regretfully: “It turned out to be a fly, I was wrong, why are there still flies in the first month?”

    The owner of the garden smiled unnaturally: “There are many people in the theater, and everyone has it. It is a common thing to have a little bug.”

    Then the owner of the garden and Hua Dan turned to go back, and out of the corner of the eye seemed to see Gu Ye who was standing by the table seemed to be busy with something.

    But the two of them left the table in the blink of an eye, so they didn’t think much about it.

    “Drink it, drink it,” Gu Ye smiled, “Goat milk won’t taste good when it’s cold.”

    Brother Xiaofeng picked up the bowl in front of him first, and the other three followed suit.

    Brother Xiaofeng and Gu Ye only had a taste. The owner of the garden and Hua Dan tried to persuade Brother Xiaofeng to drink more, so they ate all the food in their bowls.

    Gu Ye picked up his little cloak to say goodbye, and finally said apologetically, “I was too naughty just now, when you guys went to see the robe, I knocked the table crooked and the bowl moved Fortunately, it didn’t spill out much, and it didn’t knock the bowl off.”

    In a word, both the garden owner and Hua Dan were stunned.

    The two sent him away tremblingly, and then quickly compared the taste of the medicine powder and the goat milk soup they had just eaten.

    The owner of the garden comforted: “We did see the robe just now, but we didn’t move too far from left to right. If the movement is too big, we will naturally see it. I think that Master Gu just touched it a little. It’s just for a moment, it didn’t change our bowls.”

    Hua Dan was relieved and nodded again and again.

    However, when they got up the next day, both the garden owner and Hua Dan felt itchy and sore throats, and the fire was burning.

    The two immediately met and discussed again.

    “How could this happen?” The owner of the garden was puzzled, “Could it be that Master Gu bumped the contents of Brother Xiaofeng’s bowl into our bowl?”

    The two of them hit the ground running, so naturally this is the only way to make sense.

    Hua Dan was about to cry in a hurry, his voice was his life!

    “The owner of the garden quickly goes to find the family for the antidote!” Hua Dan urged in a hoarse voice.

    The owner of the garden was still hesitant, but later he heard that Xiaofeng brother suddenly couldn’t speak today, and he was also frightened – the last dose of medicine was added the most, although he didn’t know the end What’s going on, but most of the two of them were caught, and they were completely lost like Xiao Feng, but it was too late!

    The owner of the garden immediately made an excuse to go out and find a doctor for Brother Xiaofeng, and ran out of the theater to contact the steward who gave him medicine powder.
