18. Chapter 18
"Zhuzhu, Xiaozhuzhu!"
Qi Yu didn't know when he fell asleep, and when he woke up, it was already dawn, and the sound of the east fence came from the door.
"Wake up, lazy cat, gluttonous cat, wake up!"
Qi Yu didn't call Dong Li, but got dressed himself, walked out of the wooden house, and saw Dong Li sitting on the steps of the wooden house, holding the little white cat in his arms.
Dong Li heard movement behind him, and turned his head and said "Huh", "Young Master is awake?" He stood up with the cat in his arms, "Young master, why didn't you sleep more when you rested so late yesterday?" ”
Qi Yu slept lightly, and he could wake up with a little wind and grass, not to mention that Dongli had such a loud voice, it was strange that he could sleep.
Qi Yu didn't say anything, his eyes fell on the little white cat held in Dong Li's arms.
Only then did Dong Li realize that he had made a noise with the young master, and smiled embarrassedly, "I wanted to tease this cat, but I didn't expect this cat to sleep deeper than a pig, and I couldn't wake it up." ”
At this moment, a slight snoring sound, Dong Li and Qi Yu glanced at each other, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
People are not as good as cats, they don't have to worry, and they can fall asleep if they want to.
Dong Li entered the house and put the little white cat on the table, and took a cloak to tie it to Qi Yu, "The young master got up so early, but he wants to send Master Sanhong?" ”
Qi Yu smiled, the two walked through the forest path, and walked towards the main hall.
You know, he was desperate when he listened to Master Sanhong's words yesterday, and even a person like him couldn't sleep with worry, let alone the young master, "Young master, Master Kongjing must still be alive, your illness must still be saved, you see, aren't you much better today than a few days ago." ”
Qi Yu walked forward expressionlessly, as if he didn't take Dong Li's words to heart, Dong Li was most afraid of the young master's appearance of ignoring life and death, after all, a person only cares about one thing, he will be willing to work hard, if he doesn't care about his own life or death, then there is really nothing to be done.
"East Fence." Just as he was thinking about how to persuade Qi Yu, Qi Yu suddenly spoke, "How many paintings are hidden in Xiaoyun Tower?" ”
"Huh?" Dong Li didn't expect Qi Yu to suddenly ask about Xiaoyun Tower.
Xiaoyun Tower is in the west of the city, it used to be a restaurant, but later because of its remote location, the business was not good and it closed down, so Qi Yu bought this restaurant and used it for other purposes.
Qi Yu has a habit of collecting famous paintings and calligraphy, because he is weak, he stays at home all day, and he has no opportunity to spend money, and almost all of his expenses are spent on buying calligraphy and painting.
Qi Yu rarely had any contact with outsiders, at the beginning, he was running from the East Fence, because his vision was not vicious enough, so it was common to buy fakes, fortunately, Meng Rong introduced a friend to know, and gradually opened Qi Yu's network, to this day, Qi Yu can be said to be one of the best collectors in Jinling City, Xiaoyun Tower also collects a lot of famous works from the past and present, so after the operation, Xiaoyun Tower has become a valuable industry.
I don't know how many people in Jinling City covet Xiaoyun Tower, and I don't know how many people want to enter Xiaoyun Tower to see the collection, but Qi Yu didn't agree, even the eldest princess wanted to go in and have a look, but Qi Yu refused to nod.
And Qi Yu didn't let others in, and he didn't set foot a few times, and he rarely asked Xiaoyun Tower, what's wrong today?
"Young master, there are now a total of four hundred and twenty-one calligraphy and paintings in Xiaoyun Tower, and there are one hundred and fourteen authentic works of the ancestors that have been confirmed." Dongli rules and regulations and Qi Yu reported, "In addition to the authentic works of the ancestors, there are also forty-one paintings of you in Xiaoyun Tower." ”
Qi Yu nodded, looking thoughtful.
"Young master, when you're ready, let's go to Xiaoyun Tower to have a look." Dong Li said this and was a little sad, I don't know if the young master can get better, how much Dong Li hopes that their young master can come and go as freely as others and not be burdened by his body.
Qi Yu glanced sideways at Dong Li, smiled slightly, and did not answer.
Qi Yu and Dong Li sent Master Sanhong to the mountain gate, and saw that Qi Yu began to pant again, Master Sanhong did not dare to let Qi Yu continue to send each other, Dong Liang was also persuaded on the side, Qi Yu had to stop and watch Master Sanhong go down the mountain.
Dong Liang helped Qi Yu to sit down on a big stone at the mountain gate, Qi Yu had been gasping, Dong Liang looked uncomfortable, and remembered Master Sanhong's words last night, if he couldn't find Master Kongjing, the young master might really be useless.
However, with Master Sanhong alone, can he really find Master Empty Mirror from the vast sea of people?
The east fence overlooks the entire Jinling City from the halfway up the mountain, the world is so big, can Master Sanhong really save the young master by himself?
If...... If you say......
Dong Li glanced at Qi Yu, who was pale, and secretly made up his mind in his heart.
Table ...... Cousin! ”
While he was struggling in the east fence, a beautiful female voice came from behind him.
When I looked back, I saw a plain-clothed woman who lifted the hat from her head and ran in their direction.
This woman is none other than Miss Rong.
Meng Rong never expected to meet Qi Yu in Cishou Temple.
Since hearing that Qi Yu was sick, Meng Rong ran to Cishou Temple all day long.
She didn't dare to set foot in the Guogong Mansion or see him, but she was very worried in her heart, so she could only pin her hopes on the gods and Buddhas, hoping that the Buddha could hear her pious prayers and make Qi Yu get better as soon as possible.
She goes out early every day, no one is seen all day, her in-laws have long been dissatisfied with her, if it weren't for the power of the eldest princess, her life in the Locke family will not be easy, she is sensitive by nature, and easy to be cranky, a look from others will make her think a lot, whenever she returns to the Locke house at dusk, others look at her strange eyes like pins and needles in the heart.
She had all kinds of grievances in her heart and wanted to talk to someone, so when that person suddenly appeared in front of her, it was not an accident, for a while she forgot all about the past, and just wanted to get closer and take a good look at him.
It's just that before she touched him, Dong Li blocked in front of Qi Yu, "It's a coincidence that I can meet Miss Rong here." ”
Only then did Meng Rong realize her gaffe, stabilize her mind, and give Qi Yu a salute.
Qi Yu coughed a few times, stood up, and returned a salute to Meng Rong.
Meng Rong wiped the wetness from the corners of her eyes and forced a smile, "Seeing that my cousin is fine, Rong'er is relieved." ”
Qi Yu nodded, "I'm tired of my cousin." He had a cold attitude and didn't look at her, the atmosphere was suddenly cold, and the two were relatively speechless.
Dong Li has a deep opinion of Meng Rong, this woman is a harmful spirit with ulterior motives, he can't wait for his young master to draw a line with her quickly, so he deliberately hugged Qi Yu, "Young master, it's windy outside, I'll help you go back and rest." ”
Qi Yu bowed his head to Meng Rong, turned around and left, never looking back.
Qi Yu and Dong Li returned to the wooden house in the back mountain, and were about to push the door in, but there were hurried footsteps behind them.
Meng Rong shouted behind Qi Yu, "Are you still blaming me?" ”
Qi Yu's figure was stunned, but Dong Liang turned around and looked at Meng Rong in disgust.
If it weren't for Meng Rong's identity, he would really want to roll up his sleeves and beat someone.
"Cousin, I said that I am innocent, and there is a ...... between me and the son of the Chen family Nothing! You ......" her voice was hoarse, sounding as if she was about to cry, "you give me a chance, and I'll tell you everything!" ”
Dong Liang saw that something was wrong, this woman was the most pitiful, and gave birth to a clever mouth, if he didn't stop it, maybe the young master would drink her psychedelic soup again. "Miss Rong, this is not very good, our young master ......"
Before Dong Li finished speaking, his wrist had already been held down by Qi Yu.
A glimmer of hope rose in Meng Rong's heart, and he was still willing to forgive her.
She took a step forward, but listened to him say coldly: "It is natural for men to marry women, my cousin is still young, and it is indeed unkind to die alone." He paused, never looking back, "The gossip outside cousin doesn't have to pay attention, if the Locke family gets in the way, the cousin doesn't have to worry, the mother always remembers the cousin in her heart, even if she is angry, the cousin's affairs will not sit idly by." ”
"Cousin......"
Meng Rong was about to speak, but Qi Yu suddenly turned around and looked at her indifferently, like she was a stranger.
Meng Rong's next words suddenly became speechless.
"Mother will come over later, cousin would like to come in for a cup of tea?"
Qi Yu mentioned the eldest princess, which was equivalent to issuing an eviction order, he knew that she didn't dare to see the eldest princess, he could be frank, but she couldn't, he knew this, but he still treated her like this......
She smiled wistfully, feeling a little silly.
Dong Liang watched Meng Rong leave gloomily, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, and a look of joy appeared on his face, "Young master, the eldest princess came over at noon, and I asked the temple to prepare some food." ”
"Check it out."
"Huh?"
"Don't let anything happen to her."
Qi Yu finished explaining this sentence and entered the house, and Dong Li heard a familiar coughing sound from the house.
Dong Li pursed his lips, so he had to listen to Qi Yu's words and followed.
Song Yuzhu didn't settle down all morning.
Picking up the window for a while, and climbing out of the carriage to touch the horse's butt for a while, the Wang family was going to be killed by this daughter, and scolded Song Yuzhu, Song Yuzhu had to settle down and sit in the car in a proper manner.
Wang rubbed her temples, always feeling that this little daughter's energy made her feel old.
A little girl is more active than a boy, and Yuhe and Yuhong have never made her feel so tired.
Wang closed his eyes and recuperated, intending to take a nap.
Song Yuzhu saw that Wang was asleep, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise, and she carefully picked up the window of the car and looked out.
The street is full of shops and bustling.
It's been a long time since I've been out, and it feels good that I don't have to do my homework.
It's just that the carriage is too slow, and I don't know when it will arrive at Cishou Temple.
She couldn't wait to meet her master.
