Chapter 084: The Follow-up of the Follow-up
ββ¦β¦ The young master said that he now lives in the Yunlai Innβ" the maid said in a low voice. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Her name is Bi Jin, and she is Yao Xiruo's eldest maid, who has been serving since she was a child.
Gu Zeyuan may not know many things about Yao Xiruo, but Bi Jin knows them all, because she understands the feelings of the young lady very well at this time.
"Who cares where he lives? He has nothing to do with me even if he is lying on the street! Yao Xiruo almost lost control and shouted out screaming.
But soon, she reacted again, took a deep breath, and couldn't help but think of a face that she had deliberately forgotten, and her body couldn't help but tremble: Damn, how did this bastard get to Beijing? He didn't go to the West by her design, and it is said that he had already died at sea.
How-
It's been almost a year since she's been back in this world, and that person has long been a lifetime to her, and she never thought that one day 'he' would appear.
Yao Xiruo bit her lower lip, "What else did he say?" β
Bi Jin hung his head and whispered: "Young Master Cousin also said that he, he has suffered a lot outside in the past few years, and every time he thinks about it, he is especially 'concerned' about you, Miss." β
When she said the word 'worry', she couldn't help but shudder, because she clearly remembered how the man gritted his teeth when he spit out the word.
Just looking at his resentful appearance, Bijin had no doubt that if Miss was present at that time, that person would have pounced on her and strangled her to death!
Thinking of the man's beast-like cold eyes, Bi Zhen wanted to speak and stopped: "Miss, I, I see that the young master seems to have changed a lot, and there is a bad breath on his body!" β
It's like the soldiers of the Zhao State Mansion who have just returned from Liaodong's 'training', exuding a terrifying aura from their bones.
Evil?
Could it be that the person has experienced a catastrophe of life and death outside, and his hands have been stained with his life?
Yao Xiruo has never done business herself, let alone gone to sea, but she has heard a lot of stories about caravans going to the West.
It is said that maritime trade is profitable, but it is very risky, and if you are not careful, your ship will be destroyed. Even if you can make it back, you will suffer a lot at sea that you can't imagine on land.
Therefore, everyone knows that going to the West can make huge profits, but there are not many merchants who really follow the fleet.
Yao Xiruo also knew this, so he would do everything possible to coax that person to go to sea.
To make sure nothing went wrong, she also bought off the shipwrights on merchant ships......
His hands couldn't help but tighten, his fingernails pierced into his tender palms, and Yao Xiruo finally calmed down: "He lives in Yunlai Inn?" Which room? How many people are there with you? β
Hearing her young lady's calm voice, Bi Jin breathed a sigh of relief, quickly raised her eyes and glanced at her, and said, "Young Master Cousin didn't say anything." However, the slave quietly inquired about it and found that he lived in room No. 3 in Tianzi. According to the innkeeper, there are three young masters, masters and servants. β
The young master found Wenchang Hutong to deliver the letter, and Bijin received a message from the mother-in-law of Jiaomen, and was so shocked that he almost lost his soul.
After finally calming down, she went to the corner gate in person, confirmed the identity of the person with her own eyes, and then quietly followed out, until she collected enough information before she came back to report the news.
"Well done," Yao Xiruo nodded with satisfaction, Bi Jin deserved to be the maid she trained, not only understanding her temperament, but also clever and capable.
Bi Jin was proud in his heart, but he looked flattered on his face, and said repeatedly: "It is a slave's duty to be able to share the worries of the young lady, and the young lady should not be praised." β
After that, he changed to a worried look, "Miss, the young master is not good, if he, if he runs to his uncle and talks nonsense, what will it be?" β
Although Miss is very decent in the Qi family now, and my uncle is even more obedient to Miss, once that incident broke out...... didn't dare to imagine the consequences of this.
Yao Xiruo was unusually calm, "Don't worry, if he wanted to make trouble, he would have made a fuss a long time ago, and he wouldn't write me this letter at all." β
Bi Jin was able to penetrate it at one point: "Miss, do you mean to say that the young master of the cousin, he, he has a request for you, or does he want to take the opportunity to blackmail?" β
Their young lady is a famous miracle doctor in the capital, and her medical skills are amazing, and even He Yuanzheng of Tai Hospital admires her.
Every day, there are countless people who come to the door to hand over posts to seek medical treatment, and there are many rich and powerful rich and noble families.
If Yao Xi has magical medical skills, private and wealthy, in addition to these two points, Bi Jin can't think of anything else worth calculating.
"Who knows, what he wants, only when we meet."
A chill flashed in Yao Xiruo's eyes, and he said in his heart: Gao Yuan, I don't care what you are here for, I will not let you get your wish! I won't let you ruin my reputation!
β¦β¦
The sun is just right, the garden is full of flowers, and the soft summer breeze has a little floral fragrance.
The room was quiet, with layers of curtains hanging down, and on a bed carved from rosewood shelves, a girl of fourteen or fifteen years old was lying.
I saw that the girl's head was wrapped in a thick white muslin cloth, her face was pale, there was no blood on her mouth, and there were some scratches on her originally white face.
Her eyes were closed, and her breathing was steady.
But suddenly, her chest rose and fell violently, her head began to shake from side to side, her facial features were distorted violently, and her chapped lips moved slightlyβ
ββ¦β¦ Yao, Yao Xiruo, you slut, go, go and die! β
The ninth princess opened her eyes suddenly, but the bright light in the room pierced her eyes, and she subconsciously closed her eyes again.
After a while, when her eyes adjusted to the bright light in the room, she slowly opened them again.
The utensils and decorations that caught her eyes were both familiar and unfamiliar, and the ninth princess couldn't help frowning, but she inadvertently pulled the wound on her forehead.
"Hiss~~"
The ninth princess was in pain and inhaled cold air again and again, the wound didn't hurt anymore, but Na Ren'er hurt badly.
She couldn't help but want to reach out and touch it, but found that her right hand couldn't move at all, and it hurt badly when she moved.
"What's going on?"
The ninth princess was frightened and panicked, she didn't know what was wrong with her, and she wanted to open her mouth to shout, but she found that her throat was very dry.
Just then, there was a faint sound of footsteps outside.
After a while, two women in palace clothes walked in, and they lifted the curtain on the bed, just in time to meet the suspicious eyes of the ninth princess.
The two women were pleasantly surprised, "Princess, princess, are you awake?" β
Princess?
The Ninth Princess frowned, pulling the wound again, and her head seemed to be stuffed with a lot of things, almost squeezing her head.
"Ouch~" The ninth princess had a splitting headache, her eyes went dark, and she fainted again.
Before he fell unconscious, he vaguely heard someone shouting-
"The princess is awake, please ask the imperial doctor!"
"Mother, the princess has finally woken up!"
"Oh, no, the princess has fainted again!"
When the ninth princess woke up again, it was already the middle of the night, and the surroundings were quiet, and the bright moonlight spilled in through the window, reflecting a soft light in the room.
The ninth princess did not rashly stretch out her hand and get up, and her eyes were also free of the panic and dazedness of the day.
"Hehe, the ninth princess from Concubine Xian? The real golden branches and jade leaves. β
A smile spread on the lips of the ninth princess, and her immature face carried vicissitudes and complexities that did not match her age.
In her previous life, although she was not called a virgin at the beginning, she never harmed anyone, but she was framed and imprisoned in the Iron Threshold Nunnery.
Later, she came to her senses, in order to escape, in order to take revenge, she did whatever it takes, arson, murder, thought that she would go to hell after death, and she didn't want to be able to live again, and she had such a noble identity.
"God is really afraid of the wicked......"
Completely integrating all the memories of the previous life and this life, the ninth princess sighed inexplicably.
That's right, she is still the ninth princess, but compared to the ninth princess who was injured half a month ago, she now has more memories.
Xu is revenge in her previous life was too tragic, when she was just reborn as the ninth princess, the memory in her mind was incomplete, she only remembered that she died with Yao Xiruo in the end, but she didn't remember the specific details.
In addition, every day and night in her previous life in the Iron Threshold Nunnery, she didn't remember it very clearly, she only had a feeling, it was very bitter!
But it is not clear to what extent and what kind of suffering he has suffered.
Half a month ago, the ninth princess took the palace maid and the guards to Jingyue Nunnery, and when she went to the mountains, she startled the horse, and her head hit the carriage hard and was seriously injured.
When I opened my eyes again, my injured brain was strangely filled with lost memories.
The ninth princess didn't know whether to be happy or sad, it was naturally good to be able to live a more understanding life, but those memories were too painful, and every memory was torture for her.
"Forget it, everything in my previous life has passed, I have suffered my sin, but I have also taken revenge,"
The Ninth Princess took a deep breath and comforted herself: "God have mercy, I have a new life. In this life, I will live well. β
Better off than any of them.
As for Yao Xiruo and Gu Jialuo, they are all in the previous life, and they have nothing to do with her in this life.
It's a pity that everything didn't go according to people's wishes, and just when the ninth princess was about to start a new life, a mess left by herself smashed in front of her.
"What did you say?"
After taking medicine and recuperating for two days, the ninth princess finally had the spirit to chat with the palace maid who served closely.
Her eyes widened in disbelief, "Father wants to choose a horse for me?" β
If she remembers correctly, she is only fourteen years old now, and she is not yet in time, not to mention in modern times, even in Daqi, and getting married is a little early.
The palace maid who is now serving in front of the bed is not Chun Xing or Chun Tao, but Concubine Liu Xian was newly selected, named Zhixia. Fifteen or sixteen years old, ordinary in appearance, but very steady.
As if he didn't see the surprised appearance of the ninth princess, Zhixia replied in a calm tone: "If you return to the princess, it's not that the saint wants to choose a horse for you, but that before you fell unconscious, you took the hand of the virtuous concubine and begged the lady to fulfill you and Qu Gongzi." β
"What?"
The Ninth Princess was dumbfounded, she didn't know that Qu Gongzi at all. How can you take the initiative to 'seek perfection'?
Wait, the ninth princess stretched out her uninjured left hand and knocked on her head, yes, she remembered, she didn't completely pass out under the mountain wall that day.
In a trance, she felt that she was being picked up, leaning on the generous and warm embrace, and there was a steady heartbeat in her ears, which made her feel inexplicably safe.
There was still a nice voice in my ear, "Don't be afraid, I'll send you to the doctor right away...... It's coming, it's coming, we're about to get to the official road...... This young lady, if you hold on a little longer, this is the only way to the capital, there will always be pedestrians or carriages passing by, and you will be saved when the time comes......"
"A certain surname is named Jin, who is rushing to take the exam this year, and today I went to the suburbs with a few fellow villagers, and I happened to meet Miss. It shows that God can't bear to let you have an accident, so ah, you'll be fine......"
"Oh, by the way, although Miss's two maids are seriously injured, they are not in serious danger, and their abilities are limited, so they can only send Miss to be treated first......"
It's chattering, but it's not annoying.
At that time, the Ninth Princess thought that she was about to lose her power, but it was because of the encouragement of that voice that she persevered and remembered the name 'Qu Jin' deeply in her heart.
ButγButγThere's no need to marry him!
The ninth princess wailed silently, and wanted to slap herself: What has happened to this, she was seriously injured and unconscious, and she finally returned to the palace and opened her eyes, and actually pulled her mother to ask for 'marriage'.
People who don't know still think how much her ninth princess 'hates to marry'.
Stupid, stupid!
But what made the ninth princess speechless the most was that the person who did such a stupid thing was not someone else, but herself, at least she used to be!
"Well, my father hasn't officially given me a marriage yet, right?"
The ninth princess hesitated for a long time before asking.
Zhixia replied with a glance: "The sage said, everything will be said when your body recovers, princess." β
Is there room for redemption?
The Ninth Princess's eyes lit up suddenly.
"Impossible,"
Concubine Liu Xian, who is a mother-in-law, personally broke the illusion of the ninth princess, if it weren't for the fact that her daughter was still sick, she really wanted to drag this unconscious little thing down and beat her violently.
"They sent you back to Beijing, and I originally wanted to hand it over to the people of the Five Cities Terracotta Division, but you clung to the placket of someone's clothes,"
Concubine Liu Xian sat in front of the couch and told about the 'great achievements' of the ninth princess without emotion, "When you entered the palace, you said in front of so many people, 'save your life, repay you with your body'." β
It's really a bear child, Concubine Liu Xian has never been so ashamed in her life, her daughter was seriously injured, she almost lost her soul, and staggered over, her daughter opened her eyelids and glanced at her, and vaguely begged her to be the master, wanting to marry a life-saving benefactor.
That scene...... Concubine Liu Xian really wanted to faint herself.
Qu Jin is still knowledgeable and sensible, and deduces that the princess is seriously injured, her mind is not very clear, and what she says should not be true.
"Did he really say that?" After listening to her mother's retelling, the ninth princess was ashamed and annoyed, but finally returned to composure.
Concubine Liu Xian bowed her head and sighed: "Speaking of which, except for the fact that this Qu Jin has a worse family background, the others are not bad. When the saint heard about this, he specially announced that he had gone to ask questions, and came back to me and said to me, "This son is available." β
The ninth princess was silent.
Seeing her like this, Concubine Liu Xian put away her thoughts of reprimand, and reached out to stroke the wound on her cheek, "Originally, I also wanted you to marry into the Liu family, so that you can not only promote Yongenbo Mansion, but also live a more comfortable life." It's just such a thing-"
Qu Jin carried the ninth princess all the way into the capital and entered the palace, no matter how open the atmosphere of Daqi is, no matter how strong the princess of the Xiao family is, she can't openly violate the etiquette.
Therefore, Qu Jin, the concubine, the ninth princess has to ask for it if she wants it, and she has to ask for it if she doesn't want it!
The mood of the ninth princess, that's called a bitter force, what can be more heart-stopping than cleaning up the mess?
If Gu Jialuo knew the Ninth Princess's mood at this time, he would definitely pinch his waist and laugh, "This is the good cycle of heaven, you also know the pain of being forced to clean up the mess, right?!" β
β¦β¦
Heavenly cycle, retribution is unpleasant.
Qi Mianzhi never believed in karma, he was born in a wealthy family, his grandmother was the eldest princess, and he could walk sideways in the capital where there were many powerful dogs.
Last year, the Qi family was convicted, and he gradually reined in his temper.
But the nature of the country is easy to change, and now the Qi family has no title, but the turmoil has finally passed, everything in the family has settled down, and the habits in his bones have begun to rise again.
Especially recently, Qi Mianzhi entered the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and with his official status, he also had entertainment.
The sons and daughters of the nobles in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies are crowded, among which there are Qi Mianzhi's old friends, and every day in the name of 'entertainment', several people will get together to eat, drink and have fun.
In the past, they were just fools, and if they wanted to go out and fool around, they would have all kinds of controls at home.
Now that they have a serious errand, going out to eat and drink together and visit the green house has become a normal 'social', and the family will not bother.
Not only did she ask, but in order to let her grandson mingle with her colleagues as soon as possible and gain a firm foothold in the yamen, the eldest princess rarely generously provided 'funds' and encouraged Qi Mian to communicate with her colleagues.
In this way, Qi Mianzhi played even more unscrupulously than in the past.
"Huh? Fourth master, I have a girl there, a girl from a small family, her family has failed, and she came to the capital to join her relatives......"
In the private room on the second floor of the restaurant, Dog Youjia leaned into Qi Mianzhi's ear and said shyly: "That little appearance looks good, tsk, water spirit, and smooth!" β
Poked Qi Mianzhi's arm, and Dog Youjia squeezed his eyes: "How is it?" Want to give it a try? β
Qi Mianzhi took a sip of wine with a wine cup, did not speak, but his eyes flickered.
Qi Mian is romantic, but not obscene, he is lustful, and he has some quirks.
He doesn't like to have a discordant relationship with a prostitute in the Qinglou, but he likes to tease a small family girl with an innocent family background and good looks, or a down-and-out daughter.
That's how he and Yao Xiruo met.
If it weren't for the fall of the Qi family, if it weren't for Yao Xiruo's medical skills, Qi Mianzhi would not have married her at all.
Don't look at the way he and Yao Xiruo were sticky at the beginning, they seemed to like her very much, but once it was related to marriage, Qi Mianzhi would never let go easily.
ββ¦β¦ Hehe, I knew that the fourth master liked this,"
Dog Youjia also picked up the wine cup, "Tsk, who let us be brothers, I'll help you pull a line." β
Qi Mianzhi still didn't answer, and only looked at Dog Youjia.
Dog Youjia said his request, "What about me, I don't have any other preferences, I just like to collect antiquities, two days ago I fell in love with a piece of mutton fat white jade pendant in the Jade Workshop on East Street, hehe, fourth master, you see?" β
The Jade Workshop is the property of the eldest princess, and Qi Mianzhi is half the master.
In fact, if Dog Friend A didn't make any requests, Qi Mianzhi might still think it was a trap and didn't dare to agree.
At this time, when he heard his lion open his mouth, he was relieved.
After estimating the price of the jade pendant, Qi Mianzhi felt that this transaction was a good deal, so he raised the wine cup at Dog Youjia: Deal!
At dusk that day, Qi Mianzhi came out of the yamen and said to the little maid as usual: "Go back and tell the fourth grandmother that I won't go back to eat if I have a party today." β
The little girl understood, and responded with a smile, "The fourth master can rest assured, the little one will definitely return to the fourth grandmother 'truthfully'." β
Qi Mianzhi stretched out his hand and slapped the little girl's head, and scolded with a smile: "Dog, don't get out of here!" β
The little guy with a hippie smile 'rolls'.
Qi Mianzhi turned over on the horse, turned the horse's head, and went directly to a quiet restaurant on West Street.
In the private room on the second floor, a young woman in an emerald dress was sitting by the window shyly and timidly, peeking downstairs.
Qi Mianzhi sat on the horse, raised his eyes and saw the shadow by the window, and couldn't help but pull a frivolous smile on his lips.
He deliberately kissed his finger and pointed to the woman in front of the window.
The woman snorted, closed the window, and sat aside.
"Haha!"
Qi Mianzhi laughed loudly, got off the horse, threw the reins to the ushered Xiao Er, explained two sentences, lifted the hem of his clothes, and strode onto the stairs.
"Fourth Master, you are really bad!"
The woman snuggled in Qi Mianzhi's arms and refused to welcome it, and Chun Onion poked his chest with her tender hand, and said delicately.
"Am I bad? Where am I broken? Well? β
Qi Mianzhi stretched out his mouth to kiss the woman's noodles, but the woman deliberately avoided it, and Qi Mianzhi caught up again.
While chasing, he said provocative words in his mouth.
The smell of alcohol blew on the woman's face, and the woman's face became redder and redder.
"Hmph, the fourth master just likes to tease people."
The woman pretended to push Qi Mianzhi's face, pursed her mouth, and said aggrievedly: "The slave gave everything to the fourth master, but the fourth master refused to treat the slave sincerely, you say, aren't you bad enough?" β
But no, both of them are so slimy, but Qi Mianzhi didn't say anything.
Not to mention that she is allowed to enter the door, just to buy her a house and settle down, Qi Mianzhi refuses.
When Qi Mianzhi heard this, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, as long as you serve the fourth master well, the fourth master will never treat you badly." β
Qi Mianzhi is a master who doesn't see rabbits and doesn't scatter eagles, just kissing a small mouth and holding a small hand is not enough for him.
Of course, the woman understood what Qi Mianzhi meant, she hesitated for a long time, no longer dodged, and let Qi Mianzhi put his hand into the placket of her clothes.
Qi Mianzhi smiled happily, "This is good!" β
As he spoke, his hand moved down, and the other hand moved to the woman's belt.
The woman subconsciously twisted her body, but in the end she held back, covered her face with her hands, and let Qi Mianzhi move up and down with her ears and bell.
Qi Mianzhi became more and more proud, stood up, swept the dishes on the table to the ground with one free hand, and then carried the woman to the table.
Quickly pulled off the belt of his clothes, and Qi Mianzhi was about to raise his gun to go into battle, but at this moment, the door was suddenly kicked open.
The two little guys guarding the door were kicked in, and more than a dozen strong men rushed in, directly blocking the door tightly.
"Okay, you're Qi Xiaosi, even my woman dares to steal?!"
