Chapter 8: By Your Name
"The purple kite girl is going to General Wei's mansion with the young master today?"
Stepping on a thin layer of snow under their feet, facing the white moonlight, the two walked on the path with ginkgo trees on both sides, and the pine branches gossiped with Tao Zi Kite, talking about the things in the day.
I couldn't figure out what the pine branch meant, but Tao Ziyuan felt that the attitude of the pine branch was much closer than that of other people who didn't know why.
"Yes, as soon as my sister left, the young master ordered me to go with me, fortunately, Mingxing was here, so as not to make jokes. ”
Tao Ziyuan said while looking at Songzhi's face, but unfortunately the eyes of the two people met.
Like a thief who stole something was caught, Tao Ziyuan looked away a little embarrassed, but he didn't want Songzhi to smile and hold his hand,
"Girl, don't worry, our old lady is a clear-eyed person, etiquette or something can be learned, but the lady has always been the most important heart, and the second son is a very safe person, the two masters believe in you so much, why should the girl care about those gossips?
Living in this world, it is inevitable that there will be people who talk nonsense, if they all take it to heart, then they really can't afford to live!"
Songzhi's words seemed to be comforting herself, but Tao Ziyuan understood that she was telling herself that what she could rely on in this mansion was the lady and the second young master, and she was also telling her that she asked if she had gone to General Wei's mansion, and it was just a gossip, so she didn't have to think about it, she was her own person.
"What Sister Songzhi said is that the lady and the young master naturally treat me very well, and the purple kite is in my heart. ”
Tao Ziyuan smiled a little stiffly, but the words of the pine branch on the other side made her stunned.
She said, "Girl, do you know that there is no girl in our house who has purple letters in her name?"
"Why?"
Songzhi held his hand, his palms were warm, and he was talking with a sigh of energy, as if he was looking at the road ahead, but he seemed to be looking at nothingness.
"The second young master of our family loves purple alone, so everyone who has words in the names of the maids has changed their names, the purple kite girl in Zi'an Hall, you are really the first one. ”
"This ......" Purple Kite was a little incredulous in the envy of her words,
"People have a word of luck on their heads in this life, and if they come, they will be safe. Songzhi patted Tao Ziji's hand, and there seemed to be a lot of things to say in his eyes, but the door of the shallow flower pavilion was in front of him, and the two of them entered the courtyard hand in hand.
Only then did Tao Ziyuan know that the person looking for him was not Mrs. Li, but Lord Li.
It's just that last night was in a hurry, and the scenery was dark at night, so I didn't see it clearly, and when I walked into the warm pavilion of the shallow flower pavilion, Tao Ziyuan never dared to raise his head, and he looked very cowardly.
"Raise your head, you saved my life, even if you serve by Xiangqing's side, you don't have to be so humble. ”
The voice is mellow, it sounds like a master in the academy, just listening to it knows that he has a belly of Chinese, but it is not old-fashioned.
"The life of the purple kite was saved by the young master, even if he helped the master by coincidence, it was the young master's kindness first, and the purple kite did not dare to take credit. ”
"Purple kite?"
Again, the name again.
"It's a small print given by the young master. Tao Ziyuan said.
"Raise your head and speak, I said that you saved my life, no outsiders are here, no need to be restrained. ”
A face that is not very amazing, and there is nothing special about it, a very ordinary girl, if you have to say that she is impressed, it is the loneliness and coldness in her eyes.
"Do you know what kind of poison I have?" asked Li Shiqiu.
"I don't know. Tao Ziyuan replied.
Li Shiqiu had already listened to his wife talk about it, so naturally he would not ask those questions that would not be asked again, but said,
"This poison has a nice name, it's called Beauty Pill. ”
Beauty Dan?
Tao Ziyuan couldn't help but be surprised for a while, this name is really weird, it turns out to be called Beauty Pill like that, it's really ...... Unreasonable.
"It's horrible that I just got a little bit of contamination and became like this. Tomorrow you go out with me, go to see a nobleman, don't ask anything, don't say anything, you know?"
"No. Tao Ziyuan responded, he thought that this should be the real purpose of Li Shiqiu calling him, from the moment she entered the room, it seemed that this master's reaction was too calm, as if he was waiting for such a person.
This strange feeling made her feel very uncomfortable, as if there were hands pushing it all in, but she could not see, or even find the way between them.
"Go back and rest. ”
"No. ”
Tao Ziyuan left from the warm pavilion, barely saying a word throughout the whole process, Mrs. Li walked in, looking at Li Shiqiu on the bed, her eyes were gentle,
"How's this kid?"
"The mind is too deep, and the temperament is cold, but he will also hold on to a life-saving straw tightly, and he doesn't know whether it is a blessing or a curse by Xiangqing's side. Li Shiqiu took the tea cup handed over by his wife, moistened his throat, and understood between his words that Li Xiangqing was the meaning of the life-saving straw.
"But she is useful to Your Majesty, there is no doubt about it. ”
"What the master said is that you are still working so the sickbed, I really don't know what benefits Your Majesty has given you. Mrs. Li said helplessly, even though she was already used to her husband's appearance of worrying about the monarch all the time.
"The matter of eating the king, the matter of loyalty to the king, if even I only know how to fiddle with power like Mu Gu, then who else in the court is willing to do practical things? The matter of the beauty pill is not easy to spread, but the situation in the army is urgent, if I don't seek medical treatment like this, then there is really no way. However, it was too much of a coincidence. ”
Li Shiqiu guessed, and his words were full of worries about the country and the people.
"I heard that even some people in the army are suffering from this disease, and there is no way but to kill them, so wouldn't it damage the foundation of our dynasty? ”
Mrs. Li glanced at her husband, a person who had been with her for decades, and her eyes were full of worries and the great cause of the country, and she could see that the current situation was not easy.
————
The stars were shining, the moon was shining in the sky, and there was Zi'an Hall in front of her, but she stopped and looked at the brightly lit rooms, and could vaguely hear the laughter of the girls.
The dark night, which takes away the busyness of the day, is a precious time given by God to relieve the fatigue of the day.
"Coming back?"
When I walked into the room, it was clear that the man was reading a book, but he seemed to have eyes somewhere else.
"Well, where should I rest?"
"Idle Moon House. Li Xiangqing said, and then raised his head to look at the person who turned around to leave,
"Chen Yan, if you encounter difficulties tomorrow, go to this person, and he will help you. ”
Why would he know about tomorrow, as if everything was expected, Tao Ziyuan thought, but asked,
"Who is Chen Yan?"
"You'll know when you go. ”
"Why should he help me?" asked Tao Ziyuan.
As soon as the words fell, the person who was reading the book over there raised his head and looked over, his eyes were deep, and Tao Ziyuan felt that he seemed to be a little displeased.
"By your name. ”
After speaking, he held the book in his hand, looking like he was rejecting people thousands of miles away.
Obviously, he didn't want to pay attention to himself anymore, and Tao Ziyuan left with interest.
"I really didn't see how this submissive girl was outstanding, and she was so favored by Second Young Master Li. ”
The man in Xuanyi with a black sword at his waist walked out from behind the bookshelf, with a hint of playfulness on his face,
"Isn't it that our Second Young Master Li has moved his mortal heart? aren't you afraid that Lingyun will come back and have a big fight with you?"
"Chen Yan, she is just a child, but it is her father's explanation, when she enters the Fengbo Pavilion, it has nothing to do with me, what do you have to do with Lingyun?"
Li Xiangqing glanced at him, frowning lightly between his eyebrows, obviously a little displeased.
"I just mentioned it casually, why should the second young master be serious? Haha! It's not early, I'll go back first, when the girl in the province asks me for help tomorrow, wouldn't I blame the second young master if I made a mistake?"
Chen Yan looked at Li Xiangqing's normal expression, and a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes.
Pretend, I see how long you Li Xiangqing can pretend?
