Chapter 10 Chapter 10 just started

In December, the people in the west are still cautious, the Chishui wind blows, the Sirius kills, and the big gold spreads the ground. Within 20 days, the turmoil intensified, and tens of thousands of Shangshen people were involved in the flames of war.Shangshen County has a special geographical location. It is located between the jurisdiction of the Batuha family in the western fiefdom and the king of Yanbei, the land of Yanbei. The two sides compete for it in the year of peace, and evade each other in the year of turmoil. Although it is under the jurisdiction of the Zhenhuang Emperor However, the Batuha family and Yan Wang Qiqi sent elite soldiers to quell the chaos, but they were just talking on paper and putting on airs.The riots of the victims were not alleviated at all, but intensified. Emergency documents were sent to the imperial capital like snowflakes, asking the Zhenhuang Presbyterian Church to send troops to quell the chaos.

On December 27th, the Pojun star appeared, and Zhaoming returned to hermitage. Qin Tiangong Taizhu showed the prophecy: Taihe is empty, the red water contains ice, and the Pojun star appears, which is a great ominous. The seven great clans discussed overnight and decided to send the Huangtian Department to Shangshen to pacify the chaos in the northwest. After the announcement of the Calligraphy, it was submitted to the Shengjin Palace, read by the emperor, and the reply: yes. All of a sudden, there was a turbulent wind in Emperor Zhenhuang's capital, and the great families were tense. In the pitch black night, a turbulent undercurrent surged rapidly under the thick ice.

At this moment, Chu Qiao was busy in the withered grass of the North Pavilion, carefully searching for the snake dens of Maodong.Suddenly, I heard the sound of horns resounding in my ears, which was thicker and more powerful than the long cry of white cranes.She slowly stood up straight, half-closed her eyes, and slowly looked towards Zhenhuangzhinan.There is the Shengjin Palace. The night is thick, and the night road is very difficult to walk. In the afternoon of the second day, when the snow was heavy and the sun was clear, under the glazed tiles of the Qingshan Pavilion, two snowy and lovely snow dogs made of jade were crystal clear, bright and clean under the morning light.It snowed heavily last night, and the snowflakes were piled up more than a foot thick. The servants who cleaned them passed by the snow dog without looking sideways, as if they were afraid that if they looked too much, they would cause trouble to their upper body.

Jin Si was wearing a sable sable jacket, a flowery pink skirt, and a tender pink ribbon tied around his waist. Standing on a piece of pure white snow, he looked even more graceful and glamorous.The girl who served the fourth young master all day long is only thirteen years old now, but she is slim and beautiful, and she is dexterous and docile when she is usually by the master's side, but now she is a bit domineering. Her tone is cold and her eyes are disgusted. The child who only wore a thin short shirt and hugged the jade snow dog tightly said in a cold voice: "Hold tightly, the young master said, this jade is alive, as long as you borrow popularity, it will become more luminous and clear. These lowly slaves are fortunate to be able to contribute to the fourth young master today, so don't be lazy. If I come back later and see who is disobedient, I will drag them all to Tinghu Lake to feed the crocodiles."

The children immediately nodded in agreement timidly, Jin Si sneered, turned around and walked towards the warm greenhouse. After the snow, the weather is getting colder and colder. Even wearing a ferret and hugging the heater is a bit unbearable, let alone standing in the snow wearing only a thin shirt.Within a moment, the children's lips were frozen blue. Chu Qiao had just come from the Lanshan Courtyard with a plate of fresh peaches, Jin Si hurriedly ran out of the flower room when he saw it, and greeted him, Chu Qiao turned around and stopped, with a rosy complexion and a delicate appearance, she tilted her head and said: " Miss Jinxi, what's the matter?"

"The fourth young master is taking a nap, just give me the peach." Chu Qiao nodded with a charming smile, and handed Tao Zi over.Jinsi sneered, turned around and entered the greenhouse.Unexpectedly, before he could sit still, he suddenly heard an angry shout from Guanxuan, and Jinsi put down Taozi in a panic, and ran away.Before reaching the door, a colorful shadow flew out of the door and slammed onto her face with a swish. It was soft and cold to the touch, and there was a trace of fishy and slippery. Jinsi lowered his head and saw that it was a little snake with its head held up and spewing out a message. Suddenly, his soul flew away, and he sat on the ground with an exclamation.

Chu Qiao ran into the room, and saw Zhuge Yue frowning tightly, wearing a lake green brocade shirt and leaning on the soft couch, with black blood flowing from his wrist, apparently bitten by a snake. The girl ran forward a few steps, grabbed Zhuge Yue's wrist, picked up the small fruit-peeling knife on the table, and slashed at the wound. Zhuge Yue was furious, and just about to speak, he saw that Chu Qiao only had a small cross wound. After squeezing a few times, he lowered his head and sucked it with his mouth, then spat out twice, and said anxiously: " Young master, please don't use force, otherwise the poison will spread faster, and this servant will go to the doctor right now."

In a short while, a large number of servants had gathered at the door, Jin Zhu rushed forward in panic, pushed Chu Qiao away, knelt on the ground and grabbed Zhuge Yue's hand and shouted, "Young Master, how are you?" "Go away!" Zhuge Yue frowned, kicked Jin Zhu's chest, and shouted in a deep voice, "A bunch of useless trash!" Jin Zhu touched the ground with his hands, and immediately screamed. There were more than twenty insects and snakes crawling all over the ground, which looked strange and terrifying. Chu Qiao pulled out the candlestick, lit it quickly, and drove the snake away with fire. The snake and the insect were afraid of the fire, and immediately scattered away.

The doctor from Zhuge's family rushed over quickly, and the crowd was dispersed. The servants of Qingshan Courtyard all knelt at the door tremblingly, with ashen faces. After a while, a doctor from the inner room came out and said to the servants, "Who is Miss Xing'er?" Chu Qiao stood up from behind, with a short stature and immature face, she raised her hands softly and said, "Sir, I am." The doctor didn't expect it to be such a big child, he was a little dazed, pondered for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Come in, the fourth young master said that you took drugs for him, and I want the old man to take a look for you too."

More than a hundred servants from the front and rear were all terrified, and looked up at Chu Qiao.Chu Qiao looked panicked, kneeled down and kowtowed to thank the fourth young master for his kindness, then followed the doctor into the pavilion. The cold wind was coming, and the servants of Zhuge's family, who stepped on the high and low, turned their thoughts quickly. After a while, Chu Qiao came out with a submissive expression, without any arrogance.After the doctor left, the two maids of Jinsi and Jinzhu walked into Zhuge Yue's room with several high-ranking servants. Zhuge Yue leaned on the back of the chair, with his eyes half closed, and said in a deep voice, "Who is here today?" Waiting in the house?"

Jin Zhu took a look at Jin Si, his face was ashen, and he said stammeringly: "Master, yes, it's a slave girl, slave girl just now..." "Needless to say," Zhuge Yue said in a deep and indifferent voice, "You know the rules here. I never support idlers. Go down and get thirty boards by yourself, and then take my letter to a certain position in the Anjunyuan Bar." When Jin Zhu heard this, tears immediately flowed down, she knelt on the ground and cried loudly: "Young master, please spare this time, my servant, I will never dare again." Zhuge Yue frowned slightly, and two powerful men stepped forward immediately, set up the candles and walked out. "Who is guarding the gate?" The two servants knelt on the ground, trembling all over, kowtowed unceasingly and said: "The little one is guilty, I beg the young master to let the young one out." Zhuge Yue opened his eyes, glanced at the two of them lightly, and said in a deep voice, "It's you two?" After finishing speaking, he snorted softly, "You have always beaten others. If that's the case, go to the courtyard and beat each other with a board. Whoever dies first will not be punished." The room was dead silent, Zhuge Yue injured his wrist and was upset, he frowned and said, "Get out, I'm upset just looking at you." If everyone encounters an amnesty, they will immediately withdraw in unison.At this time, a small voice suddenly said: "Young master, can this servant move away those pots of fire-burning vine corners outside the pavilion?" Zhuge Yue frowned: "What did you say?" Everyone turned their heads and saw the little slave girl who had just entered Qingshanyuan the day before yesterday standing behind the crowd, she was small and said in a soft voice: "Although it is winter now, Qingshanyuan is located in a special location, next to In hot springs, the climate is much warmer, and there are many mosquitoes and moths. The vines already attract these small insects, and burning the vine corners can dissipate heat. In this way, it will attract birds and mice that feed on mosquitoes, and then attract birds and mice Snakes for food. This is very common knowledge, and this servant should have thought of it long ago." Zhuge Yue frowned tightly, and after a while, he turned his head and said in a deep voice, "Who sent these pots of fire-burning vine horns?" Jinsi's face turned pale, and he said tremblingly: "Master, these potted flowers were sent by Housekeeper Zhu yesterday. He said they were special products in southern Xinjiang. He said that the young master might like them, so he specially asked the servants to put them under the house. " "Zhu Shun?" Zhuge Yue snorted coldly, his long and narrow eyes were slightly cold, and said slowly: "He is really becoming more and more prestigious as a butler, if he buys a dagger from the Western Regions next time, let you let it go On this young master's bed, I'm sure you will do the same." Jinsi was shocked, and hastily kowtowed to the ground, "I don't dare!" Zhuge Yue remained indifferent, and the servants were about to leave when Zhuge Yue suddenly said, "You, you can serve in the inner room from now on." Everyone was stunned, no one knew who he was talking about, Zhuge Yue frowned impatiently, pointed at Chu Qiao and said, "It's you." All kinds of eyes immediately gathered together, Chu Qiao bowed her head and respectfully agreed: "Your servant obeys." After leaving the main room of Guanxuan, the servants had just thrown the blood-covered Jinzhu into the carriage. A weak woman had been beaten with 30 boards and was about to be thrown to a place like the Anjunyuan. How could there be life? Jin Si felt chills down his spine, almost trembling in his hands and feet.At this time, a sweet voice suddenly sounded from behind, she turned her head, and saw Chu Qiao looking at her with a smile, and said sweetly: "Sister Jinsi, we will work together in the future, I am young I'm not sensible, you have to take care of me!" For some reason, Jin Si panicked for a moment. She looked at Chu Qiao and said calmly, "Everyone is slaves, and it is right to take care of each other." "Really?" Chu Qiao smiled, and said, "Then over there, Nuanyu's children, do you think Sister Jinxi should be lenient?" Jinsi was slightly annoyed, but he still nodded and said, "It's almost time for them, so they should leave." "Then I'll thank you for them first." Chu Qiao walked over with a smile, let the children who were already blue from the cold disperse, then turned around as if suddenly remembering something, and said: "If Jinzhu that day Sister can be as kind as Sister Jinxi, and the book boy Linxi will not be beaten to death by the young master, so you should have kind thoughts in your heart. You see that Linxi has only been dead for three days, and Jin Zhu followed closely. Just thinking about it gives me chills down the spine.” Jin Si couldn't pretend anymore, his face was pale, and he stared at Chu Qiao closely with his eyes open, only felt that this little child had evil spirits all over his body, which made people frightened.Chu Qiao slowly leaned forward, stood on tiptoe and lay next to Jinsi's ear and said slowly: "As the saying goes, good and evil will be rewarded in the end, it's not that the retribution has not come, it's just that the time has not yet come, are you right? ?” Startled, Jinsi immediately took a step back, turned around and wanted to leave.Chu Qiao quickly grabbed her shoulders, the girl was startled, jumped away, and shouted: "What are you doing?" Chu Qiao snorted coldly, without the slightest smile on her face, and said in a deep voice, "Why are you nervous? I just want to ask you back for that plate of peaches." "peach?" "You and I are both maidservants in the inner room. There is no distinction between high and low. The peaches I have worked so hard to get from Nanyuan, don't you think it is safer for me to present them myself?" When Jincai heard this, he was immediately speechless. Chu Qiao turned and walked towards the greenhouse, and said calmly as she walked: "The green hills can't be covered, and the great river flows eastward. Only those who know the current affairs are outstanding. Some words can only be said once, and some warnings can only be given once. How should we behave in the future? , how to behave, you think about it yourself." In the winter afternoon, the sun was shining, and the bright sunlight shone on the snow, hurting people's eyes. This day is not a peaceful and ordinary day. The elders' house issued a call to exterminate Shangshen's bandits, and the Huangtian Department is about to set out to suppress the rebellion. The position of commander in chief.The head of the Zhuge Mansion, Zhuge Muqing, was not in the mansion, and Zhuge Huai was in charge of all affairs, big and small. Above the Great Xia court hall, swords, swords and swords were full of majesty. It was also on this day that Zhuge Yue, the fourth son of the Zhuge Mansion, was bitten by a poisonous snake. Although he received timely treatment, he still needed time to recuperate.Although Zhuge Yue is not very old, he is a major general of the Huangtian Department. He was born in Dianjiangtang. He has led troops to Shaman in the northwest three times to suppress the rebellion.The sources of the other big clans were very well informed, and they quickly grasped the news. Zhuge Huai had just submitted the invitation to fight for his younger brother, and the objections of each family were sent to the Shengjin Palace.That afternoon, the imperial physician in the palace entered Zhuge's mansion for a short stay, and the idea of ​​Zhuge's family getting involved in the Huangtian Department had to be quietly dismissed. One hair moved the whole body, the chiefs of the collateral blood relatives of the Zhuge clan all came to the door, and the Zhuge Lord's mansion was instantly disturbed. On the same day, due to Zhuge Yue's injury, the Zhuge Mansion played out the same competition as usual.Jin Zhu, the eldest maid of the Fourth Young Master’s Court who had always been a bully, lay dead in the battle, and the two servants with sticks in Qingshan Court also beat each other, one died and the other was injured.The chief housekeeper of Zhuge Mansion was beaten twenty times for no reason for a few potted plants that caused trouble, and he is still moaning and recuperating in his room to this day. In the pavilion lake where crocodiles were kept next to the hot spring in the back mountain, three corpses sank again silently, allowing fish and shrimp to eat, but no one paid attention. The night was dark and starry, Chu Qiao took the last string of paper money from Xiao Ba's hand, put it into the brazier, and murmured, "Look at it."
