Chapter 321 Who is coming?
Crescent Moon felt that what she had experienced tonight was stranger than that of more than ten years ago. First she was forced to kill someone, and then she saw her uncle who had come back from the dead and turned into a young master who was a master protector! She looked at the man in Xuanyi and shook her head desperately and said: "No, don't tell me, I don't want to know who he is, and I don't want to know who you are! I'm just a girl, I don't know anything, you let me go!"
Xuanyi shook his head and said: "You girl is also smart, you don't ask if you shouldn't ask, you shouldn't listen to it, you can go, but not now." ”
The crescent moon hurriedly said: "What are you bringing me here for?"
"Just looking for you to make sure of something. The Xuanyi man didn't go around in circles, and asked directly: "The young master rolled down the hill with the carriage, and everyone else died, what did your girl and wife plan?"
When the crescent moon heard this, she couldn't help but understand what he meant, she slowly squatted down with her back against the wall, her face was full of confusion, but there was a hint of mockery at the corner of her mouth, she looked at Zhao Shi, who was seriously injured on the couch, and said, "Uncle is really fateful." suffered such a serious injury and didn't die, presumably Zheng Ting didn't expect it. ”
Zhao Shi's pupils shrank violently, and there was a faint answer in his heart that broke through the clouds and appeared in front of him. Pierced in the chest by the cracked frame, he also thought he wouldn't survive. It's just that I didn't expect that not only did I not die, but I also recovered my memory because of it.
"Uncle, do you know that your death was planned by Zheng Ting?" She wrapped her arms around her hands, and tears of horror fell from inside: "Originally, the slave maid didn't think deeply, but said that you just had an accident, but when Zheng Ting said that let the second girl and the aunt be a ghost couple below, and she was going to marry into the palace, the slave maid felt that the carriage was lost on the hillside was very suspicious! Why did she and her wife survive?"
She ...... Is she really going to marry into the palace?" Zhao Shi looked at the crescent moon in pain. When he first met Zheng Ting, he fell in love with her at first sight, the defeat of the family did not take away her nobility, she was smart, gentle, and talented, even if he was in the past, he had never seen such a perfect woman. But he never thought that this woman not only murdered her husband for the sake of wealth, but even her own daughter.
"That's right, she just wants to marry into the palace. She didn't believe the people in the house, especially the slaves!" The whole person was trembling, and Tong Jiang's malicious and awe-inspiring eyes were still lingering in her mind for a long time. "In order to let the slave and maid prove their loyalty, the second girl let the slave and maid kill Tongjiang with her own hands, so that she was in control! She is so ruthless, does my uncle still think that the death of the second girl and their death was an accident at this time?"
Zhao Shi closed his eyes tightly, and the severe pain in his chest made him dare not breathe. His mind was blank at that time, and he couldn't remember anything, Zheng Ting was the only bright color in his life at that time. But now, not only does she have to kill him ruthlessly, but she also doesn't let go of their daughter, a small child!" Zheng Ting ...... You're so ruthless!"
In a word, the wound on Zhao Shi's chest was touched, and the severe pain replaced the pain in his heart, which made him more sober. "Crescent Moon...... You, I know you and Tongjiang...... You guys...... Now that you have nowhere to go, stay with me for the time being, and I will definitely avenge the murder of the woman!"
The crescent moon stopped sobbing when she heard this, compared to running for her life day and night, of course she hoped to be able to stand in the sun and live a good life, who wants to wander the world all her life, and the day and night are not safe! She looked at Zhao Shi and said, "The slave is willing to follow the young master to avenge this!"
The palace and the Zheng family have exchanged news back and forth, and the family affairs have basically been settled. And Li Shuci was also halfway through his trip, but at this time he received news from the Zheng family, and the Zheng family wife took the old lady and Zheng Ting to go back to her parents' house to buy a house. This time, not only Lan Xin, but even Qingge was quite dissatisfied with Zheng Ting: "This girl of the Zheng family is really, she is so blatantly supporting the concubine of the last world!!
Something happened to the Zheng family, Zheng Ting wanted to move to Huangjun with the Guan family and Mrs. Zheng, and when she knew that the princess would come to pick her up in person, she directly proposed to let Li Shuci go to Huangjun to pick her up. Lan Xin echoed on the side: "That's it, she's calling the princess as a girl?
It stands to reason that if something happened to the Zheng family, others should indeed be considerate. However, people who have a little rules and understand etiquette will explain the situation first, what is the arrangement, and should wait for the other party's reply before discussing carefully. Zheng Ting directly thought that she was the king of heaven, and she said it. Li Shuci slowly took a bite of the snack with a blank face, chewed it carefully, and then said, "I think this is more beneficial to us." ”
Lan Xin was puzzled: "How can it be beneficial, didn't the princess say that it is better to be one step earlier than one step later, in this way, we have an extra half a month away!"
"There is a Confucian king in front of us to block it, and it is difficult to find out anything. If she doesn't move, we probably won't be able to see anything. Where to find a breakthrough? Li Shuci took a sip of tea: "But look at it now, the Zheng family has just handed over the fold, and before the family affair is settled, there is such a big disaster." Don't you think it's weird?"
Qingge thought for a while and said: "The princess is right, there are not so many coincidences in the world, there must be something going on." Judging from the situation in their family, the son is the heir, and Zheng Ting has a sister-in-law under him, and most of these three people have three paths, and most of them are incompatible with each other. Maybe something went wrong. ”
"I think so too, Zheng Xu is the kind of person, it's too easy for people to grab the handle. Since it was his excerpt, most of it was also threatened or controlled by the Confucian king. After the excerpt was handed out, the Zheng family did not object, which means that Zheng Ting agreed to the marriage. Subsequently, Zheng Xu, Zheng Jiao and others died. Li Shuci said: "Once something happens, it will definitely leave clues." ”
Qingge nodded and said, "Shizi, I must have gotten a message from the girl and asked someone to investigate, right?"
"Hmm. Wait for us to ......"
"Ouch!" the carriage suddenly turned, and Lan Xin sat on the small pestle, unsteadily, and hit his head on the wall of the carriage. Xue Xin bumped into her, so she didn't knock it, and hurriedly opened the curtain and asked He Quandao: "Brother He, what's the matter?"
"Someone in front of me suddenly rushed out, hoping that we could take him to the town ahead. ”
"Who is it?" Li Shuci poked his head out and looked at the place where the guards in front of him had stopped. She traveled with great fanfare, so she brought a lot of guards, among which there were hidden guards around Helian Tao. No one could rush to her in front of her, she looked ahead from afar, and saw a man in green clothes, who seemed to be carrying a medicine box.
A guard came to tell him: "Princess, this person claims to be a traveling doctor, powerless, was tied up by gangsters, robbed of money and thrown to the side of the road, and finally waited for someone to pass by, so he came up to ask for help." ”
Qingge asked, "This is not far from the village we just passed by, why doesn't he go?"
"Oh. In this case, he said that he had been invited to see a patient, who was in danger of dying and was afraid of delaying the diagnosis, so he hurried over. ”
Li Shuci looked at the man from a distance, thought for a while, and then said, "You can just let him follow aside." There is still a long way to go from here to the town ahead, so give him a horse to come out, and get him something to eat, and when you are in town, send him away. ”
"Yes, princess. ”
In the evening, the group finally arrived in the town and went to the post station to rest. The traveling doctor who followed them thanked them and left. Li Shuci didn't have time to take care of these things, she stayed in the carriage all the time, she was really tired, and went into the room early to rest. But in the middle of the night, I still coughed. Qingge hurriedly said: "How can this be? The girl's wind and cold are not serious, and the doctor also said that there is nothing abnormal, why do you commit it every night, and it will be fine during the day, as usual?"
The accompanying doctor took a closer look and said: "My subordinates have seen it since then, and it is indeed just a symptom of the first cold. It's just that I don't know why the princess is like this. However, this wind chill is originally easy to recur at night, so the princess might as well rest here for two more days, maybe she will be fine. ”
Li Shuci drank the medicine and fell asleep, and when he slept until dawn, he really didn't feel uncomfortable anymore. But at night, there was a cough and a fever. Everyone was in a hurry, and there was still no way to find a doctor to see, Lan Xin said anxiously: "The princess of the world should tell the prince quickly, how can it be good if it goes on like this?"
"He's not a doctor, and it's useless to tell him, so I'm worried. As Li Shuci spoke, he only felt that his breath was not smooth, and he coughed again, and it took a while to stop. "I didn't feel anything unusual about my body, just the same as the usual wind chill. Let's stay here again tomorrow. ”
For another two days, Li Shuci's condition still did not improve, and everyone was in a hurry, and the doctors in the nearby medicine halls were all brought over to show her, but there was nothing else to say, Helian Tao secretly came to see her, and his anxious mouth was foaming. Li Shuci said: "Don't worry, maybe the long-distance journey is a little unaccustomed, so it's better to be slower, let's continue on the road, pass through other places, and then find a doctor." ”
"That's all there is to it. Helian Tao hugged her distressedly: "Xiao Wu, if you can't hold on, you must tell me!"
"Well, I see, you can go back quickly. Otherwise, let people know that not only I, the princess, came to pick up the daughter of the Zheng family, but even the prince also came, wouldn't it cause people to criticize out of thin air? We have enough troubles. ”
Li Mansion, Yao took Qi Rou's hand and said with a smile: "Good child, since you are pregnant, you will rest in your yard sooner or later, so you don't have to think about it." You don't have to come to me all the time. If you want to eat or drink, just tell the kitchenette, you know?"
"Yes, my daughter-in-law knows. "Since Qi Rou married into the Li family, she has been very fortunate that her husband cares for her and her in-laws are generous, and there is nothing more reassuring than this. Yao's loved her even more, as if she had a daughter. If there is a little shortcoming, it is that the middle feed of the Li family has always been in the hands of the second lady Wu, although she doesn't care, but in the end, the third room of the Li family is the heir, and it is a matter of time before she takes over the middle feed of the house. She is the eldest daughter-in-law, and taking over the housekeeping is also something that must be experienced to gain a foothold in the house. This matter is more and more difficult to handle, but this matter cannot be explained by her. Qi Rou sighed in her heart, she is pregnant, so let's wait until she gives birth to a child.
Yao knew that Qi Rou didn't say much, and instructed Li Yidao: "Yi'er, your daughter-in-law has a body, you have to cherish it, don't come nonsense!"
When the young couple heard this, their faces immediately turned red. Qi Rou almost buried her face in the neckline. Li Yi smiled awkwardly: "That's nature, that's nature...... Ah, yes, I had an appointment with my colleague today, and I didn't have dinner at home, so I changed my clothes and went out. Arou, dine with your mother. ”
Qi Rou must have stood up and immediately stood up to wait for him to go back to change his clothes, Yao Shi hurriedly pressed her and sat down: "You don't have to worry about him now, you still have to be tighter." There's a little guy by his side, so you stay and dine with me. Yao said, and said to Li Yi: "Don't eat too much wine, come back early!"
The night ink stars are coming, the lights are bright next to the Changyuan Bridge, and the lanterns of the painting boat on the lake are swaying red and reflected on the water, which is very beautiful.
Today is Li Yi as the east, and he asked Xiang Jiu to help him set a medium-sized painting boat, just enough for some acquaintances to come here for a small gathering. In addition, there are several friends who get along well with Xiang Jiu in the palace.
Li Yi doesn't often come to places such as painting boats, but he has recently joined the Beicheng Battalion of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and there is no harm in having a lot of contacts with his colleagues and subordinates, not to mention, everyone has a little more respect for him because of his father Li Weiqing, which makes him really integrate into this circle and has some more obstacles.
After the beginning of winter, the weather cooled down, and there were a few snowfalls, and some lanterns and railings around were hung, and the boats and boats gradually became lively after being lit, and the sound of dance and music was heard from time to time. Li Yi was the east, and Xiang Jiu naturally tried his best to help, and after two rounds, the atmosphere became a lot more lively. They are all military generals and guards, and most of them don't know those sour poetry pairs, so they talk and talk together, and some guess and draw fists for fun.
Li Yi sat cross-legged in the banquet, but he had a bit of Li Weiqing's demeanor. He asked Lei Yan on the side: "What's new in Beijing today?" Lei Yan was the first to become familiar with Li Yi among the crowd, because he was a very familiar person. On the outside, he looks like a weak scholar, but in fact he is a rough man with a broken mouth.
"What's new, hey......" Lei Yan picked up his wine glass and took a sip in his mouth.
Li Yi hurriedly raised his hand to stop him and said, "Don't talk about my sister!"
Lei Yan laughed for a long time and said, "If you don't talk about that, then what's new?"
Li Yi was choked by him and glared at him fiercely, Lei Yan looked at him like this, and hurriedly said: "Alas, there is, but it is not new, it is old news!"
"Oh?" Li Yi suddenly became interested, he left Shangjing in his early years to travel outside with his master, and he really didn't know the people and things in Shangjing thoroughly. "You know that I wasn't in Shangjing before, I've been outside, although I know a little bit about everything, but I only know a little bit. You might as well talk about it. ”
Lei Yan said: "Shangjing has produced these hairpin clans that are common around us, and there are four unborn families, do you know?"
Li Yi put down his wine glass when he heard this, and said, "What are you talking about, the Wang family of the scholarly family, the Zhao family of the medicine king family, the Liu family, and the rich businessman Liu family, and the killer Pinglou?"
"Yes, that's right. What I'm going to say is this Zhao family!" As soon as Lei Yan said that other people's gossip was always much more exciting than business, Li Yi was already surprised. Lei Yan said: "The reason why this Zhao family can be ranked among the four hidden families is that the head of the previous generation of the Zhao family treated the Emperor Taishang once! I heard that at that time, the Emperor Taishang had a strange disease, and he was already terminally ill, and it was useless to find a famous doctor in the world. Later, as soon as this Doctor Zhao made a move, he actually let the Emperor Taishang live for more than ten years!"
Li Yi snorted slightly: "I've heard of this, it's a bit exaggerated, right?"
Lei Yan glanced at him and said, "What comes out of other people's mouths may be exaggerated." But this is what I told you, will I exaggerate with you?" Li Yi was noncommittal, motioning for him to continue. Lei Yan said: "The head of this generation of the Zhao family has three sons, and the most beloved is the youngest son Zhao Sanye. This Zhao Sanye has been extremely smart since he was a child, and he is a rare genius. Thanks to his grandfather's true heritage, he has frequently saved the lives of dying people!"
"But what happened to this one?"
"Exactly!" Lei Yan smacked his lips, as if he was sighing, and said: "This third master suddenly lost his trace during a trip, and he couldn't find it from heaven to earth." Just lost it. Li Yi seemed to smell the smell of conspiracy in it: "What? It can't be found, right?"
Lei Yan slapped his thigh, glared, and said, "You guessed right! Some time ago, there was a word that spread that this Zhao Sanye is back!"
When Li Yi saw him like this, he wanted to ask if anything had happened after he came back. The others noticed that the two of them were muttering about the two of them, and were busy pulling them over. The two had no choice but to put down the topic first and join the crowd. While everyone was in full swing, a woman's voice suddenly came from the bow of the boat.
Li Yi looked out and saw several women standing outside the cabin, their faces could not be seen clearly, but they were either holding a pipa or a guqin in their arms, presumably a singing and dancing girl. He asked, "What's the matter?"
The owner immediately stepped forward and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, these are the singers of the Green Fragrance Building. The villain is here to ask if you need a little song to cheer up?"
Li Yi didn't know much about this, so he looked at Xiang Jiu, and explained to her: "Luxianglou is a song and dance workshop in Shangjing, and some singers and dancers will do some private work between various painting boats without invitation. It's not a big deal. ”
"Let them in. When Li Yi heard this, he let a few women in, after all, the people in the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division are all rough men, and they are not taboo when they are outside on weekdays, and he doesn't want to be too special in front of everyone. And these women, who did not look as glamorous and frivolous as they usually see, asked, "It is my negligence that music is indispensable for such a good day." ”
