For the next week, Du He spent every night in the Cui family's study, reading ancient books.
The Cui family's study was a huge treasure house for Du He. In this treasure house, he found all kinds of fragments of ancient books, including the various theories of hundreds of schools of thought before the Qin Dynasty that had been lost for hundreds of years. Many were discovered. Among them were various and almost lost works on the art of war, which made Du He feel itchy after reading them. He suppressed the temptation and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the business of finding the "Blood Ring Fruit".
Ancient people were much more particular about order and cherished books than later generations. They arranged and classified books more carefully. []
Various books are divided into one category, and the paint on the floor is divided into various colors. There is a statistics on the side of each bookshelf. The books in the bookshelf are recorded in detail. Then there is a small note under the book cabinet on each floor, which introduces the book title, author and so on. Write in detail.
In this study, you can¡¯t find a book that has been misplaced, which makes it very convenient for Du He to find books.
But it is still very troublesome. Ancient people have always had a hobby of collecting fragments of ancient books. Even if they are not needed and kept as treasures, they are not allowed to be passed down to the world. Therefore, although the Cui Family Study House is dominated by Confucian books, there are also many other miscellaneous books that make people dizzy.
Just like the medical books Du He was looking for, there were six bookcases with hundreds of books on various medical techniques and herbal medicines. Stacking these books together could fill several large cars.
Du He had already been mentally prepared after entering the study, but he couldn't help being surprised when he found the huge number. However, Du He was already prepared. Before coming, he wrote down the titles of all the books on medical skills in the Hongwen Museum. Changsun Wuji must have looked for these books before, so there is no need to waste time again.
He patiently searched for the remaining hundred books one by one. In order to save time, he read every book carefully to make sure he didn't finish it, lest he have to start all over again in the end.
But it is not easy to find records about the "Blood Ring Fruit" in hundreds of books.
Du He couldn¡¯t take his books out, so he could only use his time every night.
In order to overturn the monopoly of the five surnamed families, Du He also risked his life. For five whole days, I found him dizzy, and his mind was filled with a mess of medicinal herbs, as well as treatments for difficult and complicated diseases.
That night, Du He closed the last book in annoyance.
No¡¡
"Am I wrong?"
Du He muttered to himself, this thought was immediately interrupted by him, it was impossible. At first, because I was afraid of misreading, I read each book very carefully, so there was no question of misreading. There was only one answer: the book I was looking for was not in the entire study. Maybe Cui Zhongping hid it separately, or maybe he destroyed it.
If so, that would be troublesome.
In such a huge mansion, looking for something that may or may not exist, even if the door is opened for him to look for, is like finding a needle in a haystack, let alone the conditions he is facing now.
"What should I do? Just give up like this?"
Du He scratched his head in distress. Just when he was frustrated and confused, a passage from Chang Sun Wuji came to mind: "The box was stolen from the secret room of the Cui family by one of my confidants, Nei Ying. Nei Ying heard it with his own ears. Cui Zhongping said that the brocade box is related to the life and death of the Cui and Wang families."
Du He's heart stirred, and he vaguely caught a clue. He thought to himself: It's strange. From some of the contents in the letter, it can be seen that Li Tai and the Cui family were the leaders in all this conspiracy. Why did the Wang family come to join in the fun?
"No, there must be something wrong with this." Du He closed his eyes again and pondered. Although the five surnamed families are connected by the same spirit, there is also a relationship of comparison within them.
Who doesn¡¯t want to be the first family, and who wants to be second to others?
Cui Zhongping worked so hard for Li Tai not so that it would be convenient for the Cui family when Li Tai ascended the throne. So why bother to involve a Wang family and let the Wang family get a share of the pie? What's more, in plotting such a big thing, one mistake would be a major crime for the nine clans, so one more person would be even more dangerous. As the person at the helm of the Cui family, how could Cui Zhongping be so unwise?
unless?
"Unless Cui Zhongping has no need to join forces with the Wang family In this case, the secret of the 'Blood Ring Fruit' should lie with the Wang family, not the Cui family."
Du He clenched and loosened his fists, and was about to leave the study when he unexpectedly heard the sound of slight hasty footsteps. He quickly put out the lights, used Qing Kung Fu, pulled off the light-blocking leather, and hid in the corner of the study, behind the bookshelf with medical books.
?He thought that even if the Cui family came to the study to pick up books, they would be looking for books about Confucianism and medical books. They were just collected for display and hidden in this corner so that no one would notice them.
But things went against expectations. Du He heard the footsteps getting closer and closer. The weak candle light gradually became brighter, and the person who came was actually coming straight to him.
Du He was complaining endlessly. He had calculated countless times, but he had miscalculated this point. Now he was holding six large pieces of leather in his hands. He could not leave this corner even if he wanted to. He could only huddle in a ball, thinking about Amitabha in his heart, hoping. See if you can find this level. Otherwise, we can only resort to blackmail
"Brother, please help me find a book with valuable medical skills. Please help me refer to it" A childish voice came to Du He's ears. He couldn't look around and could only guess the other person's age based on the voice. No more than seventeen years old
Another person called eldest brother said helplessly: "Jie Di, your eldest brother really doesn't know anything about medical skills. How could you choose"
At this time, the names of two people came to Du He's mind, Cuiying and Cui Jie. They are Cui Zhongping's sons. Cuiying's eldest son is twenty-five years old, and Cui Jie's third son is sixteen years old. They are all rising stars of the Cui family.
"Nonsense" Cui Jie begged: "Brother, please help me, I'm begging you Didn't you use this medical skill as a gift to please my future father-in-law? The sister-in-law is betrothed to you. I wonder if there are any books in the Wang family. The eldest brother picked the right one, which shows that he has great eyesight. The younger brother is now married to the fourth daughter of the Wang family, and they are all sixteen. The eldest brother already has children at this age. , you really can¡¯t bear to see my little brother fall in love, please"
"Then let's take this one" Cuiying came to a bookshelf that was different from Du He's and stopped, seeming to have chosen one.
Cui Jie said dissatisfied: "Even if it doesn't concern my lifelong happiness, please don't fool me like this."
"This is not a lie. Your brother, I really don't know anything about medical skills. However, just because you don't know medical skills doesn't mean you don't recognize people. The medical skills I showed my father-in-law back then were the masterpieces written by Bian Que. Now you have What¡¯s on it is Hua Tuo¡¯s Qing Nang Book. How can there be any difference in these masterpieces written by miracle doctors who have been famous throughout the ages?¡±
According to common sense, the Green Bag Book has been lost long ago, but this is not the case. When Hua Tuo was captured by Cao Cao, before he died, he entrusted the book to the jailer, but the jailer did not dare to accept it for fear of causing trouble. Hua Tuo was disheartened and planned to burn his masterpiece. It happened that Cui Yan, the ancestor of the Cui family, had been saved by Hua Tuo and went to prison to visit Hua Tuo before his death.
Cui Yan couldn't refuse Enhui's request, and he couldn't bear the destruction of the eternal masterpiece "Qing Nang Sutra", so he accepted it, replaced the "Qing Nang Sutra" with a copy he carried with him, and let it be burned.
Therefore, the "Qing Nang Sutra" passed down from generation to generation was destroyed, but in fact it was passed down by mistake. Cui Yan hid the "Qing Nang Sutra" at home, intending to bring it to Cao Cao. Good fortune and misfortune every day. Cao Cao was moody, and because of a trivial matter, Cui Yan was annoyed.
The "Qing Sang Jing", the world's number one secret surgical treasure, became a decoration and was hidden in the Cui family.
The reason is naturally unknown to outsiders. Du He was shocked when he saw this "Qing Sang Sutra" and secretly made a decision in his heart. The first thing he did after overthrowing the Five Surnames was to ask for an order. Seal the study of the five surnamed families and bring back to the world the treasures left by the ancients in the study. The wisdom of these predecessors should be used to benefit one party, rather than being enshrined as luxury goods.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? away from the ancients, how much wisdom was not promoted and lost because of this kind of greed for narrow ideas?
Cui Jie then smiled happily and said: "That makes sense, I will give this "Green Bag Sutra" to my future father-in-law"
"By the way" Cuiying said at this time: "If father finds out, don't rely on me. Four years ago, after my father found out that I gave away "Bian Que Shen Pian", he was very angry. Taught me a lesson. Brother doesn¡¯t want to suffer anymore.¡±
Cui Jie said with a smile: "Okay, as long as you can hug the beauty back, what does it matter if you get scolded? Let's go, don't let father find out, no matter what, you have to wait for me to give away this "Green Bag Sutra" ¡¡±
As the footsteps went farther and farther, Du He walked out of the darkness thoughtfully.
" Du He's ability to win every battle and be unfavorable in every situation has a lot to do with his carefulness. The thing he believes in most is a sentence in "Sun Huizi's Art of War": Know yourself and the enemy, and you will never be in danger in a hundred battles. Therefore, he regarded the fragrance left by stepping on the moon as a most precious treasure.
This was going to target the Five Surnames Family. Du He had already mobilized Tayue Liuxiang to investigate the information about the Five Surnames Family after arriving in Chang'an from the south.
He knows that Cuiying is twenty-five years old.I was fifteen years old when I got married.
In other words, Cuiying gave "Bian Que Shen Pian" to Wang Gu, the head of the Wang family in Taiyuan, who was fond of medical skills before she was fifteen years old. However, Cui Zhongping reprimanded Cuiying four years ago.
There is a big connection between this. If Cui Zhongping cared about "Bian Que Shen Pian", he would not have discovered it after many years. But if he didn't care about "Bian Que Shen Pian", why bother with this little thing? , reprimanding his most outstanding eldest son?
The only explanation is that Cui Zhongping needed to use "Bian Que Shen Pian" before returning to the year, and Cuiying gave "Bian Que Shen Pian" to the Wang family, which just ruined his affairs.
Du He got the secret letter four years ago, "Bian Que Shen Pian", Wang family, with such contact, the answer is ready to come out.
"Bian Que Shen Pian" is what Du He is looking for. Just as he thought, "Bian Que Shen Pian" is no longer in the Cui family, but in the Wang family
