When Shen Ling woke up, she felt dizzy on her head. This was something she had never seen before. She was struggling to get up slightly. Someone helped her sit up gently and put a soft pillow behind her.

Shen Ling opened his eyes and saw a woman in her thirties standing in front of her. She seemed to be a decent servant in her dress.

The servant woman looked at Shen Ling with a look of concern in her eyes: "Miss is awake, is she hungry, do you want to eat something?"

Shen Ling nodded slightly: "I slept for a while, and my stomach is really hungry."

The servant woman tucked the quilt for her, called a maid with an oval face, and went to feed Shen Ling Zhangluo.

Shen Ling took a look at the surrounding environment, the lake-blue gauze tent, the purple ancient porcelain incense burner, and a few calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, it seemed that he was wearing a rich man's home.

Thinking of this, Shen Ling took the initiative to communicate with the system. When the original owner’s memories and tasks came to his mind, Shen Ling couldn’t help but sigh. But she has been in troubled times, and the system has given her a more difficult task to become a powerful person.

While Shen Ling was worrying about the task, the servant woman came back with a food container in her hand.

Shen Ling had already learned from the memory of the original owner that this was his nanny Qi, and since the parents of the original owner Gu Wanqing passed away, Qi has become her most trusted person.

At the moment, Qi's took out two delicate side dishes and a bowl of rice porridge from the food box, put them on a small table, and then carried the small table to the bed with the maid Dongliu.

Shen Ling originally wanted to get out of bed to eat, but after sitting for such a long time, his head was still a little dizzy, so they let them bring the meal in front of them.

The sweet white-glazed small bowl contains just the right amount of Bi Japonica rice porridge. Two small slap-sized plates are filled with rouge goose breast and cold wolfberry sprouts.

The original owner was weak after the illness, and originally had no appetite, but after smelling the scent of the food, Shen Ling couldn't help having some appetite, and took the silver spoon in front of him and took some rice porridge into his mouth. Only at the moment of entrance, Shen Ling frowned almost invisibly. She didn't know how many times she had eaten this bi-japanese rice porridge, so she knew that there was something else in the porridge when she tasted it.

Shen Ling calmly glanced at the wife of Qi's wife. She was diligently serving herself up and persuading herself to eat more meals.

Shen Ling took a chopstick of medlar sprouts and put it in his mouth. The taste was salty and sour, and there was no problem. Then he tasted rouge goose breast, which was tender and soft, and there was no problem. It seems that the only problem is that bijang rice porridge.

"Miss, why don't you eat it?" Qi asked when Shen Ling put down his chopsticks.

Shen Ling retched a few times, and pointed to Bi Japonica rice porridge and said: "Drinking porridge every day, I almost get tired of drinking. Dongliu, you go and let the kitchen make me a bowl of wontons. Niangma, you get me some candied fruit, my mouth is bitter. Very much." After speaking, I didn't forget to observe the faces of Dongliu and Qi's.

Qi's face changed slightly, "Miss, you have recovered from a serious illness, and the doctor said you can only eat some porridge and side dishes. Wouldn't you have to eat wontons when you get better?"

Dongliu's face didn't fluctuate, and he didn't seem to know it.

Shen Ling said, "But I only want to eat wontons, Dongliu, I don't want to go." In my memory, Dongliu is the son of the Gu family, and he usually doesn't walk very close to the Qi family. You should believe it.

Dongliu hesitated for a while, and finally left according to Shen Ling's instructions.

Seeing Qi's face darkened, Shen Ling said to Shen Ling gently, "Miss, you listened to what the nurse said, drink this bowl of Bi Japonica rice porridge. That wonton won't be digested, why don't we eat it again in the future? "

Shen Ling shook his head: "I don't want to eat this." He asked the Qi family for candied fruit.

Qi had no choice but to go to the next door and rummaged in the drawer for candied fruit.

Shen Ling secretly scooped out a little rice porridge and put it into the space while the two of them were not in front of him. As soon as she finished this matter, the Qi family came over and brought a plate of dried hawthorn.

After Shen Ling ate a small half-dish, Dongliu came over with the food box.

The blue-and-white bowl contains a dozen thin-skinned chaos, with coriander sprinkled on it, and a few drops of sesame oil, which makes people appetite.

Regardless of Qi's face, Shen Ling picked up a silver spoon and scooped it into the mouth. The taste was delicious, the soup was light, and the most important thing was that nothing was added.

Shen Ling took the wolfberry sprouts and ate a bowl of wonton with soup and water.

The Qi family suppressed some thoughts that shouldn't have, and called the little maid to clean up the food, and then persuaded Shen Ling to rest for a while.

Shen Ling was looking for a chance to check what medicinal materials were in the porridge, so he nodded and let them all go down.

After Shen Ling and the others had left, they stepped into the space with the shelter of the curtain.

She originally wanted to find out what was added to the Bi Japonica rice porridge, but when she entered the space, she habitually tested her spiritual roots and discovered a fact that surprised her. The original owner, Wan Qing This body actually has spiritual roots. Although it was a five-spirited root with poor aptitude, it was also good news for Shen Ling.

However, the most important thing at the moment was to find out what was put in the bijang rice porridge. Shen Ling tried to taste all the medicinal materials he had collected, and finally found that some of the more common medicinal materials were put in the porridge. These kinds of medicinal materials are not harmful to people when used separately, but when put together, they are somewhat restrained. Once taken for more than a year, the body will gradually weaken, which is similar to the secret medicine given to Rufei by his concubines.

Shen Ling recalled carefully, and found that the original owner had been a little weak from a few months ago, and if he had a cool breeze outside, he would get sick when he went back. Just like this time I got sick, but I was walking around in the garden to appreciate the early spring. The next day I caught a wind chill, and it took more than half a month to get better.

In this way, the original owner should have taken those medicinal materials for more than a year, otherwise the body would not be so weak.

I remembered that in the past year or so, every time the original owner used food, Qi family personally went to the kitchen to pick up the food box. Shen Ling couldn't help but sneered. It was a waste of the original owner's trust in her that she even dared to murder her little master. , It's nothing more than asking for money.

After the death of Gu's father and Gu's mother, he left a lot of inheritance to the original owner. However, both of his father and Gu's mother were the only son and daughter in the family, and the original owner had no relatives. It is conceivable that if the original owner dies, then the nanny who has planned for a long time can definitely benefit from it.

It's just that now that the core in the original owner has been changed, I don't trust her like Gu Wanqing, and Qi's wishful thinking is about to fall.

After Shen Ling understood the medicinal materials in the porridge, he found out a few detoxifying medicinal materials and mixed them into pills, and then chose a fire formula that seemed to her to be more powerful.

This book of skill is exactly the "Different Fire Art" she found in the cave mansion of ancient repairs. The content in it has been memorized by her before, but now she reads it several times and writes it down again, anytime she can. Practice.

After Shen Ling came out of the space, she began to practice according to the content. She had the memory of the past, and soon entered the realm of Lingtai Qingming.

An hour later, due to the sound of opening the door, Shen Ling woke up from this state. Maybe it was because of taking pills to understand poison, maybe because of cultivation, the original dizziness symptoms were greatly relieved, and the spirits improved. a lot of.

When Qiu He hung up the tent, she saw her own lady sitting up on the bed. She couldn't help but stepped forward and said, "Is the lady better?"

Shen Ling glanced at Qiuhe, who was concerned about her. Unlike Dongliu, Qiuhe was a little maid brought by Gu's mother from her natal family. She was seven or eight years older than Gu Wanqing. She has been taken care of since she was three years old. The mother put her next to her daughter. She is now twenty and is about to be released.

Qi clan mentioned in front of the original owner more than once before that he wanted to introduce Qiu He to one of her distant nephews. However, Qiu He was unwilling to marry, and wanted to stay with the original owner, thus invisibly offending Qi clan. Relying on the trust of the original owner, Qi clan often took Qiu He away from the original owner. The original owner also felt that Qiu He was a little bit ignorant, so Qi clan kept one eye in his behavior.

On the contrary, Qiu He was thinking of his little master in his heart, and often took the time to come back and take a look.

Shen Ling smiled at this loyal maid: "It's much better. How is the warehouse's items cleaned up?"

Qiu He has been distracted by the Qi family to count the valuables in the treasury these days. Those accounts seem to have no problem on the surface, but Qiu He still has some memories of Gu's mother's dowry, and found that some inconspicuous furnishings are missing. , So quietly came back to the little master in the afternoon.

"Although there are no major problems with the accounts, the pair of vases and a sapphire mountain that the lady's dowry came over are missing." Qiu He replied, "Although these things are not very valuable, they are also the wife's dowry, Yinu. It’s best to check it thoroughly."

Shen Ling knew what Qiu He meant. She had always suspected that the Qi family was full of private pockets, but there was no evidence; secondly, the little master didn't believe her statement. So every time you bring up a similar topic, the master and servant will break up unhappy.

This time, in Qiu He's expectation, Shen Ling said: "I know." Then there was no more.

Qiu He couldn't help being disappointed. She was about to speak, and Shen Ling said again: "You don't want to check the accounts of the warehouse anymore. I have something else to tell you."

Qiuhe's spirits lifted up: "What is the important thing the lady said?"

Shen Ling said: "Last night I dreamed that my mother gave me a dream, saying that war was going on here in the county town and asked me to leave this place quickly. I remembered that there was another courtyard in the dowry my mother left me, located at the foot of Meishan Mountain. . I just wanted to go there and take a look, to avoid the scourge of war that my mother said. It’s the inaccuracy in the dream, we should only go out for a long trip. But you don’t talk to the second person about this. Just choose some reliable family members for me."

When Qiu He heard these words, he was surprised and worried, "How could a good lady give her a dream and say that there is a military disaster?"

Naturally, Shen Ling would not tell her that all this was her guess.

From the memory of the original owner, Shen Ling learned that now is the time when the emperor was faint and the rebels were everywhere. And the county where she is now is famous for its wealth, and its terrain is relatively difficult to defend and easy to attack, and it is easy to become the target of those rebels. Instead of waiting for the rebels to come and looting, it is better to find another hill to slowly develop your power.

After Shen Ling dismissed the autumn lotus, he put some of the banknotes accumulated by the original owner Su Ri in the space. Half of those banknotes were the income collected by the Gu family in some industries in the county city in the past few years, plus Gu's father and Gu. The amount of silver that the mother saved when she was alive was almost thirty or forty thousand taels, which is enough for the current needs.

In the evening, Qi's family came to serve Shen Ling with Dongliu as usual for dinner. Shen Ling still didn't use the red dates and millet porridge he brought up, and ordered another chicken noodles.

Qi's smile barely squeezed out a smile: "Why do you like noodles today? Isn't it true that you don't usually like to eat these?"

Shen Ling said, "Probably I'm tired of eating those rice porridge!" After sending the Qi family down, Shen Ling saw that the person on duty was Dongliu, so she asked her to go to the outer courtyard to quietly invite the housekeeper to come over.

The butler is a helper left by Gu's father to Shen Ling, and has always been loyal to the Gu family. He was probably in old age. When he was led to Shenling's courtyard by Dongliu, he was still a little panting.

Shen Ling asked him to sit down on the chair behind the screen, and asked, "How many shops and land does the Gu family have now?"

The housekeeper didn’t know why Shen Ling suddenly asked about this. He thought for a while and said: “If I remember correctly, there are seven shops in the city, one tea shop, one pawnshop, one antique shop, and two silk and satin shops. Two restaurants. In addition, there are ten hectares of fields." After speaking, he asked again, "Miss ask what these do?"

Shen Ling said: "When Qiu He went out to do errands, I heard outsiders say that the current situation is not good, so I wanted to deal with these shops and fields and avoid them to a safe place."

The housekeeper thought for a while, "But I'm afraid I can't find a buyer in a short time. Even if I find it, I won't be able to sell it at a good price."

Shen Ling said, "You just let it go and sell it. You can count as much as you can. But this matter must be carried out quietly, and don't let the people in the house know."
