Chapter 37
"Young Master, how many days has it been?" Shuying glanced at the dim sky outside the window, and asked in a daze. โฎ Yan Moxuan โฎ ad-free โฎ
I sighed softly in my heart, I was sick like this, and she still remembered to call me young master.
I wrung out the towel and put it on her hot forehead, and said softly, "It's still early, you can sleep a little longer, and I'll call you again when the medicine is ready." โ
She looked at me groggily: "Young master, am I causing you trouble?"
"Why? stop thinking nonsense, just close your eyes and sleep again, huh?" I helped her straighten the messy hair on her forehead and whispered comfort.
She nodded obediently and closed her eyes.
I pulled the quilt for her, and put the newly bought fox fur coat on her, Shuying's body was greatly damaged after falling off the cliff, and she couldn't stand the wind and cold, and now she is sick, and she can no longer suffer any cold.
Looking up at the window, the wind was howling through the blizzard. People in the world often say that it snows in August, and it seems that there is nothing wrong with it.
I got up and walked out, gently closing the door for her.
Downstairs at the inn, the proprietress hurriedly got up and greeted me as soon as she saw me: "Brother Mu, your little guy's medicine is still boiling, it will be fine in a while, you sit down, they will serve it when it's okay." โ
I smiled and said, "I'm tired." โ
"There's nothing to do with it, it's just a gesture. The proprietress waved her hand inappropriately, and said: "Also, there are still no people looking for people today, Brother Mu, who are you waiting for? โ
I smiled politely, without opening my mouth, just a sense of uncertainty in my heart, which was as thick as a day.
Already, the fifth day.
The ballad of "Shangjing's Qingfeng and Mobei" has spread all over the streets and alleys of Yecheng, but there is still no movement on the side of the government.
Was it because I was too conceited and misestimated the situation? Or was something wrong with Nan Chengyao and didn't hear the ballad? Or did he hear it, but couldn't guess the hidden meaning?
Countless possibilities are in my mind, and I can't help but smile bitterly, if he doesn't come again, I'm afraid that if he really responds to what Shuying said, he won't even be able to pay for the money he lives in this inn.
On this trip to Mobei, I only brought the necessary things, and the luggage was calculated, although there was room for it, but it was still not too much.
Now that it is a snowy day, the purchase of charcoal fire and warm clothing is an indispensable expense, and the illness of Shuying also needs to spend money to get medicine, so the silver taels available to me are actually very few.
Yesterday, I also went to Dong Ji Commercial Bank, I wanted to see if Dong Ye and they came back, and now I am in this condition, and I am sick again, so I have to be cheeky and go to the door to ask for help.
However, because of the heavy snowfall, their horse team was still blocked in the mountains outside the city, and they had not yet returned. I don't know anyone in the shop, so naturally I don't want to cause trouble to others.
Just thinking about it, the guy at the inn brought the simmered medicine: "The medicine is ready, Brother Mu, be careful of scalding." โ
I thanked him, got up and walked to the proprietress: "I'm sorry that you can send someone to help me grab a few more pairs of medicine according to this recipe." โ
"Well said. The proprietress took the list and immediately ordered the man to go.
I took out the money bag in my arms, and realized that the remaining silver was not enough to open the medicine.
This trip is to dress up as a man, and I don't have beaded hairpin jewelry to pawn, I smiled bitterly in my heart, how could I have fallen into such an embarrassing situation.
Stretched out his hand and took out the close-fitting jade pendant from his arms, this good white jade Feiyan pendant was one of the dowry gifts under Nan Chengyao, I don't often wear it on weekdays, and now I brought Yecheng originally thinking that it might be used as a token or two, but I didn't expect it to come in handy.
I handed the jade pendant to the proprietress and said, "You can exchange this for some silver for the time being." โ
Originally, when I put it by my side, I didn't like it very much, but now I want to give it so easily, but I have a trace of reluctance for no reason, after all, this is the first thing Nan Chengyao gave me, and it is also the one I like the most. Besides, if he hadn't come looking for me, I wouldn't have even a single object on me that could prove my identity, and it would be even more difficult to see him.
Thinking like this, he couldn't help but glance at the white jade Feiyan Pei.
Xu saw my expression, and the proprietress who had originally collected the jade pendant paused, and called me: "Brother Mu, I don't understand the quality of this jade, but looking at your expression, this must be something very important to you, right?"
I originally wanted to deny it, but I couldn't help but glance at the jade pendant, but I still pursed my lips and said: "Actually, it's nothing, but if it's convenient for you, can you help Mu Qin save for a few days first, and then I will redeem it with silver when I find my relatives." โ
"Look what you're talking about," the proprietress said as she stuffed the jade pendant into my hand: "We don't lack this bit of silver, you can put it away yourself!"
I hurriedly excused myself, but she refused to ask for it, and returned the jade Peisai to me: "Hengzhu, you are going to live in my inn, and then settle the settlement with me when the time comes, I have countless people who have traveled from south to north here, and I dare not say anything else, I still have the vision to know people, I can trust you!"
I was moved in my heart, and I couldn't push it again, so I had to take it and thank you again and again.
The proprietress waved her hand disapprovingly and said, "It's a trivial matter, what is there to thank for." But I said Brother Mu, on this cold day, you can wear more, these hands are as cold as ice cubes, didn't I see you buy a new fox fur a few days ago, why don't you wear it?"
I smiled, responded politely, and then took the medicine upstairs for Shuying to take, she was not stable, and soon fell asleep after drinking the medicine.
I pulled the quilt for her, and then got up and went to the stable behind the inn to see "Chasing the Wind" and Ziyanliu, and vaguely heard the voice of the proprietress in front of the hall, as if there were guests coming, this cold day, it is also rare.
It's freezing cold, and Rao is a hard-to-find BMW, and it looks a little listless at the moment, too lazy to move.
Seeing me coming, Fang hissed twice and ate the grass in my hand.
I rubbed their necks and smiled and whispered to them, and I told me that horses are also emotional, but also lonely, and need someone to talk to them, and they can understand. Now I quietly rode away his baby "chasing the wind", although I expected him not to disagree, but I also resolutely did not dare to be wronged.
There was a quiet sound of footsteps behind me, I ignored it, thinking that it was probably a traveler from the same inn who came to see the horse, so I still talked to "Chasing the Wind" and Zi Yanliu by myself.
After waiting for a while, no one stepped forward, and there was no sound behind me, I felt a little strange, and was about to turn my head, but suddenly I heard a faint laughing voice in the whistling wind and snow, containing careless cold, and dizzying magic, low and deep lingering in the air-
"It's really your ......"
I turned around quickly, in the snow, the man was standing independently in a fox fur, elegant as the wind, noble as the moon, handsome and abnormally handsome, stained with large snowflakes, and the faint curvature of the lips was still, perfect as before.
With such a demeanor, who else can there be besides Nan Chengyao?
When I first saw him, for a while, all kinds of fatigue and worries along the way after setting off from Beijing, all kinds of helpless anxiety about not being able to enter the Yecheng official office, and all kinds of embarrassment and constraints of running out of silver and two quickly passed through my mind uncontrollably, and a few grievances that even I couldn't believe appeared in my heart.
blinked, and suppressed the sudden upsurge of tears, but there was a shallow smile on his face.
I looked at him and smiled slightly: "If Your Highness doesn't come again, I won't have the money to open the house." โ
He smiled, stepped forward to me, and frowned slightly when he saw my slightly thin clothes: "On such a cold day, I don't have more clothes." โ
I blinked vigorously, and again, still raising my face slightly, chuckled: "If I say that I don't have the money to buy clothes, will Your Highness believe it?"
The next second, before I could react, a sudden warmth came unexpectedly, enveloping me.
He opened the fox fur and wrapped me and him tightly, in fact, he didn't hold me very strongly, but because they were wrapped in the fox fur together, the bodies of the two of them still inevitably fit tightly.
And his low, magnetic voice, with a warm breath, gently brushed in my ears like this: "It's not cold now, huh?"
