38. Change
On the tip of the day, Bo Xihe, who slept very early last night, actually got up late, which should be caused by being too tired yesterday. But now with Wei Jinyi, naturally there is no need to be afraid of being punished. This lazy master definitely got up later than himself.
Bo Xihe washed up slowly, seeing that the time was almost up, he was ready to wake up Wei Jinyi. Who knows, when she arrived at the entrance of Wei Jinyi's room. I found that the door of this person's room was wide open, and he sat leisurely on the desk in the hall practicing calligraphy.
"Xiaohe, you're up late." Wei Jinyi's unhurried tone made Bo Xihe unable to guess her thoughts. When I got closer, I saw that there was already a stack of waste paper on the table. Bo Xihe grabbed one at random and saw that the paper was densely written with the words "Wei Jinyi".
"Master Wei, why are you interested in practicing calligraphy today?" Bo Xihe glanced at Wei Jinyi in disbelief, to be honest, the words written by Master Wei today are a bit like human characters.
"Xiaohe, go and eat something, after we finish eating, you come out of the palace with me." Wei Jinyi avoided Bo Xihe's question, his mouth was talking, his eyes were still staring at the words on the paper, and he was concentrating on writing stroke by stroke.
"Yes." Although there are doubts in his heart, Bo Xihe doesn't ask, this is the best criterion for serving his master. Bo Xihe took away the tea on the desk for Wei Jinyi, and found that the tea had already been cold, how early did this Lord Wei get up! Bo Xihe glanced at Wei Jinyi with a strange expression, and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
After breakfast, Wei Jinyi and Bo Xihe hurried out of the palace, and when they arrived at the bustling Kyoto market, Wei Jinyi leaned down and asked solemnly, "Xiaohe, in this capital, how big of a house can one gold buy?" β
"House? Why did you buy a house? Do you think the residence of the Empress is small? Bo Xihe looked up at Wei Jinyi, a little struggling, why didn't he find out that Master Wei was so much taller than him before! Looks like I'm going to work hard to grow taller!
"No, no, no, I have something else to do. You just tell me where can I buy a house that can accommodate many people? Wei Jin looked left and right, in this ancient period, there should also be people engaged in real estate agents.
Bo Xihe turned his brain and thought about it, it is not easy to find a big house in the center of the capital. You can only go to the mansions of the adults whose homes have been raided. Or is it...
"Yes, a few years ago, the Nangong staff in the south of the city failed to do business, and the family moved to the remote Hezhou City, and his house has been trying to be sold, but no one cares."
"Why?"
"Probably because the poor can't afford it, the rich think that the location of the house outside the Nangong is not good, and a little further there is a wilderness!"
"Well, let's go check it out." When it comes to the surname Nangong, Wei Jinyi inevitably deviates his thoughts to the time of his first acquaintance, someone claims that he is the daughter of a member of a Nangong in the capital, so it is fate to meet this Nangong Mansion today, and go and see.
Wei Jinyi followed behind Bo Xihe and walked for about twenty minutes, Wei Jinyi thought about his own thoughts, and didn't notice that Bo Xihe in front of him had stopped, and hit him headlong, with gold stars in his eyes.
Bo Xihe touched the back of his head with a painful face, "Lord Wei, you want to see some roads!" β
"I'm sorry, Xiaohe, I'm distracted!" As soon as Wei Jin raised his eyes to look at the dilapidated mansion in front of him, the plaque in the center had also been hung down, and the cobwebs in the corners of the walls could be seen everywhere, the wind blew, and the gate in disrepair creaked.
I'm afraid this is a murderous house! Bo Xihe shuddered in his heart, this mansion is going to be haunted at night! Suddenly, a crack opened in the door, and a black figure flashed.
"Hell!"
Bo Xihe rushed behind Wei Jinyi in horror, grabbed Wei Jinyi's sleeve, and kept trembling. Wei Jin smiled, stretched out his hand and patted her head, like a sister, "Where did the ghost come from in this daylight, take a good look, it's a person, a living person!" β
Bo Xihe loosened Wei Jinyi's sleeves, calmed down, and looked at the person who came out of the crack in the door, skinny as a material, dark skin, and a very depressed appearance, but there was a god in his eyes, so he would not be classified as a ghost.
Just when Bo Xihe was looking carefully, Wei Jinyi had already strode forward and greeted him with a smile, "Uncle, hello, is this house for sale?" β
"Ahh Miss wants to buy this house? It may have been a long time since I had seen such a kind smile, and the old man's eyes flashed with tears.
"Yes." Wei Jinyi nodded solemnly.
"Are you sure you're not trying to take it?" The old man suddenly straightened up, with a fierce face, and his suddenly raised voice startled Bo Xihe behind him.
"Naturally not, I really want to buy this house, may I ask the old man, are you the owner of this house?" Wei Jin bowed down and patiently explained his purpose, with a smile on his face.
The old man looked at Wei Jinyi suspiciously, thought about it for a while, and decided to invite the two who claimed to be sincere in business into the house first.
The old man faltered and moved very slowly, Bo Xihe walked aggrievedly behind him, wanting to take the first step, but was pulled by Wei Jin one by one. Seeing that his master shook his head, Bo Xihe had no choice but to obey. Wei Jinyi, who entered the inner courtyard, smelled the smell of herbs floating in the air.
walked to the old man's side and asked out loud, "Uncle, take the liberty of asking, is anyone sick in this house?" β
"It's my old woman, she's seriously ill."
Wei Jin was silent, and inadvertently glanced at the slow old man, who should also have a root cause in his legs and feet. But from his eyes, it can be seen that he must have been a very capable person when he was young, why is he ending up like this now?
"Uncle, can you ask... What is your relationship with the owner? β
"What kind of relationship? I am the owner of this house, I am Nangong Jing! β
"What?" This time it was Bo Xihe who spoke out, thinking that the name Nangong Jing was passed on to the capital, his story was also recorded in the books of the school, spread all over Bo Xi, he made a fortune in silk in the southern key country, returned to his hometown, and in the capital, he also continued to expand his family business, why is he so depressed now.
"I've become like this now, because I spoiled the gambler's son too much and caused trouble, and I raised him for 20 years, but I didn't educate him well. Gambling lost all the family property, and I disliked the two of us for being old and useless, and abandoned here, it's really a beast! Nangong Jing gritted his teeth and said about his own experience, if he had been in tears before, now that it has been a long time, let it go!
Wei Jinyi sighed, this life is too variable!
Going around and around, the three of them came to the room where Nangong Jing lived, and there was an old woman on the bed, screaming constantly! Wei Jinyi looked at this messy room and felt sympathy, "Uncle, may I ask what kind of illness your wife has!" β
"It is estimated that it is for the unfilial child, who has been sick for many years, looking for medical treatment everywhere to no avail, and there is often a piercing pain at night!"
As soon as Wei Jin took a closer look, this old woman's face was so dark, and there was an unusual rash on her skin, as if she had been poisoned by that Gu thing, and it had been a long time, I was afraid that her whole body would be hollowed out! "Uncle, I don't know if you believe it or not, your wife is indeed poisoned. And I'm guessing you have it in your body! β
Nangong Jing was shocked, what kind of hatred would give him a trick, but think about it, such a ruthless person is the only one who is a rebel!
As soon as Wei Jinyi opened the casserole that was boiling medicine, a burst of rich perfume came to his face, and Wei Jinyi distinguished several of them according to the smell, all of which were self-tonifying medicines. These expensive medicines are estimated to have fully replenished the Gu thing, but blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, and the old woman has also picked up a life because of this, and she can still be saved!
"Uncle, have you also drunk these body-tonifying potions?" Wei Jin lowered his eyes and looked at the rickety Nangong Jing, although he was in good spirits, it was estimated that he was not shallowly poisoned!
"These medicines are extremely expensive, I don't dare to waste them, and I usually drink the rest."
"That's good, so I have a way to do it to you." Wei Jin said firmly, but Nangong Jing was shocked.
"Who is the girl? He actually has the ability to detoxify Gu poison! Couldn't it be a miracle doctor! Nangong Jing was so excited that tears flickered, looking at the posture, he was going to kneel down for Wei Jinyi.
Wei Jinyi hurriedly stopped his behavior and explained: "I'm not a miracle doctor, I'm just an ordinary botanist, and my Gu solving skills were only discovered by accident. β
When Nangong Jing heard this, he hurriedly bowed, "The girl is a kind-hearted person, if the poison on the two of us can be removed, I, Nangong Jing, will send this house to each other, and I won't take a penny!" There is only one request, please don't drive the two of us out, we have no place to live!" β
"Naturally, no, I want this house to do good deeds, I will not embarrass the two, but will do my best to take care of the two."
After the dust settled on the matter of the house, Wei Jin ordered Bo Xihe to find a clean knife, bake it on the fire for a while, and then cut a hole in his palm, so that his blood flowed into the casserole where the medicine was boiled. Let Bo Xihe pour out two bowls of potion, one bowl to Uncle Nangong, and one bowl to feed to the old woman who couldn't move.
After the healing was completed, Wei Jinyi said goodbye to Nangong Jing, "Uncle, tomorrow I will bring some people to clean your house, you can live with confidence, don't worry too much, if your wife vomits and diarrhea tonight, it is also normal, spit out this Gu thing, but it will be good quickly." Wei Jinyi explained carefully, and Nangong Jing was also very grateful, holding Wei Jinyi's hand tightly.
"Okay, uncle, don't thank you anymore, what a favor you gave me this house, I should be grateful to you! Don't send us, I'll order someone to send some food and vegetables later, don't go out, concentrate on recuperating in your room! β
Bidding farewell to Nangong Jing, Wei Jinyi returned to the palace with a tired face. During the period of time when Wei Jinyi went out, something big happened in the palace!
I don't know if it was the effect of the hundred officials conference a few days ago, or the empress suddenly felt lonely and wanted to be accompanied by a beautiful woman. In this early dynasty, he announced that he was going to make an emperor! Ask the ministers to recommend the right candidates, and they will choose the right people from the recommended people!
This news is like thunder on dry land, smashing the pot among the ministers, although I don't know what makes the empress's head open, but this can give himself a chance to soar, the ministers who have not married have recommended themselves, and those who marry their own children will report their children's names, regardless of age. There are also some female generals in the court, who are also very obsessed with this empress, secretly write their names and hand them to the palace. For a time, there was a heated discussion between the DPRK and China, and the people also spread the word of mouth, and this Bo Xi country finally had a great joy that could be celebrated by the whole country!
But when Bo Xihe placed this bombshell in Wei Jinyi, she turned calm, and could even be said to be indifferent, which made Bo Xihe very puzzled, at this moment of fate, Bo Xihe asked, "Lord Wei, don't you like the empress?" Why is it so calm now? β
"Otherwise, should I be terrified or nervous? I still have to write my self-recommendation letter quietly. β
"That's right, but" But it's so quiet, it's not like Lord Wei's style at all!
Bo Xihe muttered to himself, Wei Jinyi shook his head helplessly, it seems that his previous self was reckless enough, this is not good.
"By the way, Xiaohe, is this Bo Ximin the sister of Her Majesty the Empress?" Wei Jinyi suddenly spoke up, causing Bo Xihe to not hear what she was asking, "What, Lord Wei, you say it again, Xiaohe, I didn't hear clearly!" β
"Did I say that this Bo Ximin is the empress's own sister?"
"Yes, Princess Min'er is the only princess in Bo Xi Kingdom!"
"Oh, got it." Wei Jinyi suddenly remembered that a few days ago, Bo Xiling asked him to make a gift, and he was really naΓ―ve at that time, and he mistook his sister for a rival in love!
The renovation of the house, the self-recommendation of the royal husband, the gift of the princess, in the first day of his own change, there were big things one after another, and tonight was another sleepless night. Wei Jinyi sighed that he had such a "colorful" life, but who let him choose the path of the imperial husband! The choice you make must not be given up lightly!
