Concubine Chongxi: Binding the Medicine Jar to the Master

Chapter 3 The wicked have their own grind

This year is the fifth year of Zhaoyi in the Great Shang Kingdom, and it is Jisi day in the Jiawu month of the Jihai year in the old calendar.The 44th birthday of Bai Liyue, the great general of the great merchant Fengguo, was just a few days later on the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month.

On the eighth day of the eighth day, it was a rare fine weather. I moved a recliner and lay half in the yard. There was no cold wind, but the warm winter sun.

In the backyard of Fengguo General's Mansion, the girl in red who was half leaning on a deck chair basking in the sun closed her eyes and let out a long and satisfied cry: "Good weather, it's rare to have such a warm day this winter, it really looks like We Phoenix Valley!"

Suddenly, a colorful sphere was thrown from the air, and it was about to hit the girl in red on the face, but she slightly raised her sleeves and sent the object flying.

"Oh, my Cuju!"

Over there, Qiushui Yiren's female voice sounded worried, followed by a series of approaching footsteps, and then complained: "Baili Jiuge, you have sent my Cuju so far away, why don't you hurry and pick it up for me?" ?”

The girl in red yawned and stretched her waist, looked at the anxious girl in purple in front of her, her direct sister Baili Ziru, and laughed loudly: "You almost hit me with your kick, and you asked me to give it to you!" Pick it up? Do your own thing!"

Baili Ziru's complexion changed, and she reprimanded: "Baili Jiuge, don't be too arrogant when you come home for the first time as a daughter of a concubine. You have to remember who is the concubine and who is the concubine."

Baili Jiuge glanced at her, and continued to close his eyes to meditate, as if he didn't hear her words.I have never been too lazy to waste words with people who are not right, so I just ignore them.

"Baili Jiuge, if you don't go and get the Cuju back for me, I will ask Daddy to send you back outside again!"

"..."

"Hey, Baili Jiuge, are you deaf or dumb? You didn't answer me!"

I don't care.

Now Baili Ziru is as straight as a dark cloud cover, she is either going or not, she is in a dilemma, when suddenly she sees the housekeeper's wife looking for her.

The housekeeper looked at the plain-looking Baili Jiuge with disgust, then put on a flattering smile, approached Baili Ziru, who was as beautiful as Qiushui, and said with a smile: "Miss Four, tomorrow is the birthday of our general." Well, originally the master wanted to invite Miss Bai Qiang, the 'painting fairy', to come to join me, but who knows that Miss Bai Qiang has been ill recently, so she couldn't come. After thinking about it, the master decided to keep the birthday simple, which made the three of us not leave the court Each of the misses made a snack for the master to taste. The servants believe that the fourth lady's culinary skills will definitely shock the master."

After finishing speaking, he immediately changed his tone of scolding, and said to Baili Jiuge: "Miss San, did you hear that? You are a vulgar person, let's hold on for a while."

Baili Jiuge was speechless.Although I have been in the Phoenix Valley all year round, she is responsible for the three meals a day of the master and senior brothers. Why should the housekeeper look down on others?
Too lazy to explain.

Seeing this, the housekeeper felt that the third young lady who had just arrived was not only ugly, but also very arrogant, really ruining the family.So he snorted coldly, turned to curry favor with Baili Ziru, and even picked up Baili Ziru's Cuju on purpose.

From the beginning to the end, Baili Jiuge didn't pay any attention to those two people. She took a nap and woke up when she was full of energy. Then she went to the kitchen to prepare a birthday snack for her father. After tossing around until Xushi, she made a plate of delicate plum blossoms. Pancakes.She put the dishes in the locker, yawned, and went to bed.

The ninth day of the next day was the birthday of Bai Liyue, the great general of Feng State.

This year, Bailiyue went against the habit of making big arrangements in previous years, and instead had a family celebration, and by the way, tested his daughters' cooking skills.

Bailiyue has one son and four daughters under his knees. The eldest son rarely returns from the commanding army abroad. The second lady is the first daughter of the family. She married two years ago and became a noble concubine in the palace. She is a virgin who has not left the cabinet.

Amidst the sound of crackling firecrackers and the sound of congratulations from everyone, the three ladies brought their own snacks to Bai Liyue, who was seated above, and asked him to taste them one by one.

"My lord, it's really a pity that the painting fairy Bai Qiang couldn't be present today. But you see that the daughters are very clever, aren't they very gratifying?"

Sitting next to Bailiyue was the eldest lady Zhao Qian, with her hair in a bun, and her whole body was elegant and luxurious.She looked at the three young ladies and asked with a smile on her face, "Whose do you want to taste first?"

"Hung Hom, Hong Hom is the eldest daughter after all."

Wearing a plain velvet embroidered jacket and well-dressed, Baili Hongxiao felt a little nervous when she heard that her name was being called. As the eldest daughter of a concubine, she never thought that Baili Yue would taste her dim sum first.He couldn't help saying: "Daddy, this is the wishful cake made by Hongxiao himself. I honor Daddy's 42nd birthday. May Daddy be as blessed as the East China Sea, and live longer than Nanshan."

She walked forward.

But before she reached Baili Yue, Zhao Qian suddenly pointed to the plate among the Baili Jiu singers and said, "Master, you see that Jiu Ge makes plum blossom cakes. I like to eat that most, why don't you eat it?" Master, let’s try Jiu Ge’s dim sum first.”

Baili Yue replied with a smile: "Alright, then Jiuge, come up, Hongxiao will wait first."

Baili Hongxiao's eyes darkened, she lowered her head and stopped walking.

But Baili Jiuge only smiled with his head held high, walked quickly, and said with a smile: "Father and mother, please use it! Jiuge is not good at cooking, please forgive me!"

A look of disgust flashed in Zhao Qian's eyes, but she smiled and grabbed a plum blossom cake and handed it to Baili Yue, "Come on, master, let's taste it first."

Baili Yue seemed very happy, so Zhao Qian fed half a plum blossom cake.Everyone was waiting for Baili Yue to comment, but who would have thought that at this moment, Baili Yue suddenly stared at him, twitched/convulsed while hugging his stomach, and then foamed at the mouth suddenly. fainted.

"Oh my god, master!" Zhao Qian was so frightened that the other half of the plum blossom cake in her hand fell to the ground, and she shouted in panic: "Quick! Hurry up and invite the doctor! Hurry up!"

Everyone panicked, who would have thought that Baili Yue would have an abnormal reaction after eating a piece of plum blossom cake from Baili Jiuge?
Immediately, the panic-stricken crowd cast their eyes on Baili Jiuge, questioning, angry, vicious, everything that one expects to find.

The doctor was quickly invited over, diagnosed Baili Yue, and immediately announced: "The general has a small amount of tripterygium vine!" After taking the medicine for Baili Yue, he checked Baili Jiuge's plum blossom cake, and said : "The poison is in this pancake!"

In an instant, Baili Jiuge felt countless eyes piercing her whole body fiercely, as if they wanted to cut her skin and pierce her bone marrow.

There was a burst of anger in my heart, but my bright eyes scanned everyone in the hall, and finally looked at Bai Liyue who had already recovered, and said righteously: "I didn't do the poison, I have a clear conscience!"

Baili Yue's face was as dark as a pot, as if he didn't believe what Baili Jiuge said, he roared angrily: "I allowed you to enter the house and let you recognize your ancestors, but you don't know how to be grateful! Look at the red silk, Look at Ziru, and then look at your own virtue!"

He yelled: "Housekeeper, drag Baili Jiuge to the woodshed for me, whip her thirty lashes, and let her crawl over to admit her mistake!"
