62. Chapter 62
Xiao Yanyi chased after Xiao Chunyue all the way, but there were too many passers-by in the corridor of Le Fang, and when Xiao Yanzhi chased to the door of Xiao Chunyue's room, Xiao Chunyue just closed the door and latched, and the closed door almost slapped on Xiao Yanzhi's face.
Xiao Yanzhi sighed helplessly, raised his hand and knocked on the door gently: "Sister Chunyue, at least listen to my explanation." ”
After hearing this, it doesn't matter if you forgive him or not, at least you have to leave this place with him!
In the room, Xiao Chunyue stood with her back to the door, choking up: "I have heard too much of the man's explanation, you don't have to bother to speak, whether you are the king of Shu or the prince has nothing to do with me, I won't trouble you." ”
Xiao Yanzhi scratched the corners of his mouth and said, "I'm not afraid that you will make trouble for me...... Sister, can you open the door first? There were people out there, and they looked at me like I was crazy, and I guess someone should have taken me away later. ”
Liu Hanqing, who was negotiating with the bustard's mother, turned his head and looked at Xiao Yan playfully when he heard this, and then turned back to continue to negotiate with the bustard's mother.
He Yan and Zhang Shaosheng were guarding the side like gods, and the people around them didn't even dare to look at Yanzhi, and even the more people with status, the more they had to bypass Yanzhi's place, for fear of meeting the King of Shu in the music workshop.
If this can be cheapened by pouring wine with the King of Shu, but if they bump into a scene that should not be bumped into and are hated by the King of Shu, then they will be poured mold for eight lifetimes!
Ignoring Liu Hanqing's banter, Xiao Yanzhi propped himself on Xiao Chunyue's door with one hand, feeling helpless against Xiao Chunyue, who had left the door and was resolutely silent.
After moving out of the identity of the King of Shu and coercing and luring the mother of the Lefang Bustard, Liu Hanqing finally redeemed Xiao Chunyue at a reasonable price, but Xiao Chunyue didn't come out, and they couldn't take people away.
Staring at the closed door, Liu Hanqing came up with a bad idea and said, "In other words, I think it's better to let He Yan and Zhang Shaosheng kick the door open, let's take people away first?" Otherwise, you will stand here and coax a ...... Belch...... That doesn't seem like quite right? ”
"It's not good to rob people's daughters." Xiao Yanzhi glanced at Liu Hanqing.
Liu Hanqing touched her nose and said in a low voice: "She's not a people's girl......"
"What did you say?" Xiao Yanzhi, who had sharp ears, immediately turned his head and glared at Liu Hanqing viciously.
Liu Hanqing hurriedly raised his hand to make a surrender.
Zhang Shaosheng finally understood something, hesitated for a moment, or leaned over and asked, "Which one inside is Chunyue?" ”
Didn't Chunyue go to a rich man's house to be a concubine? How could it be in the music square in Chang'an City?
Seeing Zhang Shaosheng at this time, Xiao Yanzhi's eyes lit up, and after pulling Zhang Shaosheng to the door, he said to Xiao Chunyue in the room: "Sister Chunyue, Brother Shaosheng next door is also here, do you want to talk to Brother Shaosheng?" ”
There was still no sound in the room.
Xiao Yanzhi was speechless, glared at Zhang Shaosheng and said, "Why doesn't Sister Chunyue even see you?" ”
Zhang Shaosheng said with an innocent face: "Do you blame me?" I don't know Harutsuki very well. ”
His deepest memory of Xiao Chunyue is that at the age when Xiao Yanzhi liked to run around, Xiao Chunyue had to run around the village every day to look for Xiao Yanzhi.
"Why are you not familiar with Sister Chunyue? Don't you talk together a lot? Xiao Yanzhi still stared at Zhang Shaosheng.
Zhang Shaosheng said: "That's not all because of you? Because you've been playing around with us all day, Harutsuki always has to come and talk to us boys. ”
Is there still this stubble? Xiao was speechless.
Liu Hanqing pursed his lips and said, "Don't be angry with others casually, what should you do now?" Are you really here waiting for her to come out? ”
Staring at the door again, Xiao Yan said, "Wait!" ”
Now that I think about it, probably Xiao Chunyue's life in the Chen family is not easy, whether it is in the Chen family or in this music shop, she should have waited for someone to save her day and night, waiting for more than ten years, waiting until she was discouraged, waiting until she was at the end of the road, and she had to accept her fate.
And he once gave up the opportunity to save Xiao Chunyue so simply, he really regretted it, even if he secretly returned to the Chen Mansion to confirm it again, as long as he went back again, he would know that what Xiao Chunyue said to him was a lie, as long as he went back again, he could find a way to rescue Xiao Chunyue, but he didn't, he never went back once......
Xiao Chunyue has suffered for more than ten years for them, and now he just has to wait here for Xiao Chunyue to give him a chance, why can't he wait?
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Yanzhi said to Zhang Shaosheng: "Shaosheng, you go back to Wucheng Wangfu to tell Pei Ze, I won't go back to Wucheng Wangfu tonight, if Sister Chunyue doesn't come out, then I'll wait here, if Sister Chunyue is willing to go with me, I'll take her to Shuwangfu first." ”
He can't always send the Xiao family to Pei Ze.
"And Hanqing," Xiao Yanzhi turned his head to look at Liu Hanqing again, "Thank you for this incident, I owe you a favor." You should go back first, if I don't have time to see Junmeng and them these days, you can help me take care of them more, and when Sister Chunyue settles down, I will take Sister Chunyue to meet them. If possible, help me check the Chen family, whose ancestral home is Xizhou, Jiangnan. ”
"Are you doing it alone?" Liu Hanqing looked at Xiao Yanzhi very worriedly.
Xiao Yanzhi smiled and said, "I have to pay off the debt I owe myself." Don't worry, Sister Chunyue loves me very much. ”
Liu Hanqing looked at Xiao Yanzhi suspiciously, and seeing Xiao Yanyi's firm face, Liu Hanqing nodded, so that Xiao Yanzhi didn't have to worry about the situation of Junmeng and the others, and then went out with Zhang Shaosheng.
Xiao Chunyue still didn't move in the door, and Xiao Yanzhi couldn't think of a way for the time being, so he could only turn around and sit at Xiao Chunyue's door.
And although Xiao Chunyue in the room walked away from the door, she just walked to the table on the side and sat down, as long as the people outside the door did not deliberately lower their voices, she could hear the words clearly, and she could also see Xiao Yanzhi's back sitting against the door, but Xiao Chunyue didn't know what she should do.
When Xiao Yanzhi's mother and son came to the house, she was actually happy. Her biological mother died because of dystocia, and she has always been the only one in the family who depends on her father, in order to support her, her father has to go farming, to hunting, and he goes out before dawn, and only goes home at night, day after day, so she has almost lived alone since she was a child, and suddenly there is a gentle stepmother and lovely brother in the family, and she is very happy.
But the stepmother is weak and can barely help his father do some light farm work, although the younger brother is smart but can't help much because he is young, she actually expected that she would be sold, because the sisters in the village are like this, they can't marry, sell to rich and noble families as concubines, sell to human traffickers and then be sold into Lefang, they can only sell themselves, so that they can get more money to feed the family in the village, someone can take a fancy to her and buy her as a concubine, she is already lucky.
But the life in the back house of a big family is not as simple as she imagined, her man loves her and spoils her, but her man's wife can't tolerate her. Later, she realized that the more her man loved and spoiled her, the more his wife couldn't tolerate her, but it was too late by then, and she had been sent out of Xizhou by someone arranged by the main room, who sold her to a music shop in Suzhou.
She had been in the music shop in Suzhou for three years, and apart from the three escapes in the first six months, she never thought of leaving there, not only because of the painful punishment of being captured, but also because she suddenly found that she had nowhere to go. She can't go back to the Chen family, because Mrs. Chen can't tolerate her, and she can't go back to her own home, because the family can't support her, she can't go anywhere, why should she leave the only place where she can live in peace?
Three years later, the owner of the music fang wanted to go north to Chang'an, and the music fang in Suzhou was sold to others, but the owner was afraid that no one would be able to hold up the table when he opened the music fang in Chang'an, so he selected sixteen people from the music fang, and seven died on the way north because of various changes, she was fortunate to survive, and then followed the owner to settle down in Chang'an, and calmly did a maiko in this music workshop, and when she saved some money and survived to a certain age, she could retreat behind the scenes, go to the newcomer to be a master, and stay up for a few more years, Maybe I can be a bustard mother or something.
Her future has almost been planned in a broken jar, why did she meet Xiao Yanzhi again?
She knows the king of Shu who is favored by the emperor, there are a few regulars in this music shop who are officials of the imperial court, although I don't know how big an official it is, but every time I come, I almost talk about the king of Shu, they say that the king of Shu was the eldest son of the emperor who left the people, and now it is not only the eldest son of the emperor, but also the only son of the emperor, they say that the king of Shu has great talents, although it is not mature for the time being, but in a few years it will be more stable, and it will be able to become the best prince......
But such a man turned out to be her younger brother who loved to roll in the mud pit? Her brother is a prince? A prince who survived with her selling money? Are you kidding! Since they are the princes, why don't their mother and son stay by the emperor's side? Even if they were separated from the emperor, why didn't they come to Chang'an to find the emperor? Why did they live in her home?
If they hadn't come, then she would have lived a life dependent on her father, if they hadn't come, then she wouldn't have to be sold, if they hadn't come, how could she be in the situation she is in now?
But Xiao Chunyue complained and cursed in her heart, and at the same time remembered that the teenage boy walked from the village to Xizhou in the sun, carrying a bow and arrows made of branches and hemp rope, and two nest heads tied with hemp rope around his waist, and a pair of straw sandals were also worn out because he had walked for too long.
"Sister Chunyue, don't cry."
Xiao Yanzhi's voice suddenly came out of the door, Xiao Chunyue was startled, raised her hand to wipe her face, and sure enough, she wiped her hands full of tears.
Xiao Yanzhi, who was outside the door, spoke again: "Sister Chunyue, it's too boring for me to sit alone at the door, let's chat with me." ”
Xiao Chunyue took a deep breath and suppressed the rising love before she spoke: "Please don't sit at the door of the slave's room, delay the slave's business, will the king of Shu compensate?" ”
Xiao Yanzhi replied calmly: "Fang Cai has already redeemed your body, and the money has been given to the bustard's mother." ”
"What did you say?!" Xiao Chunyue stood up suddenly, walked to the door in three steps and two steps, pulled the latch and slammed the door open.
How much does it cost to redeem her?! Is Xiao Yanzhi crazy?!
Xiao Yanzhi heard the sound of approaching footsteps, but he didn't expect Xiao Chunyue's movements to be so fast, and the door behind him was opened without warning, and Xiao Yanzhi, who was leaning on the door, fell directly backwards, fell to the ground, and his waist was still on the threshold.
Xiao Chunyue was so frightened that she took a step back and looked at Xiao Yanzhi in a daze.
Xiao Yanzhi wittily arched his body and said with a painful face: "It hurts, it hurts!" It seems to hurt my waist, it hurts! ”
"Lord Wang!" He Yan immediately ran to Xiao Yanzhi's side and squatted down, "Lord Wang, are you okay?" ”
"Do you think I'm okay?" Xiao Yanzhi glared at He Yan, "It hurts, I can't move!" ”
He Yan immediately set up Xiao Yanzhi and said, "My subordinates are offended, please bear with the prince for a while, and my subordinates will send the prince back to his house." ”
"I can't go back, I can't go back!" Xiao Yanzhi exclaimed bitterly, "I can't go that far." Quick, find me a nearby place to lie down. ”
He Yan didn't know if he was too obedient or heard Xiao Yanzhi's off-string sound, and after looking left and right, he actually carried Xiao Yanzhi into Xiao Chunyue's room, and didn't even ask Xiao Chunyue.
Xiao Chunyue was also frightened by this situation, and she didn't react for a while, so she let Xiao Yanzhi enter the room, and followed behind with a nervous face.
"Lord Wang, what do you think?" After putting Xiao Yanzhi on the bed, He Yan pressed Xiao Yanzhi's waist and checked whether Xiao Yanzhi's waist had any broken bones.
Xiao Yanzhi held back a smile and said, "En...... Sure enough, he was still lying comfortably on the bed, and the wooden planks on the floor hurt his buttocks. ”
Hearing this, Xiao Chunyue was stunned, not knowing what Xiao Yanzhi meant by this, but He Yan understood what Xiao Yanzhi meant after being stunned for a moment.
"Then please continue to lie down comfortably, and your subordinates are at the door." As soon as the words fell, He Yan turned around and strode out of the door, and closed the door intimately.
Xiao Yanzhi sat up from the bed and looked at Xiao Chunyue with a smile: "Scared sister?" ”
At this time, Xiao Chunyue finally understood, and glared at Xiao Yanzhi angrily: "You liar!" ”
Xiao Yanzhi hurriedly reached out and grabbed Xiao Chunyue's hand, and said, "I was wrong, I was wrong, sister, don't be angry." But my sister refused to see me or listen to my explanation, so I had no choice but to make this decision. ”
"The dignified King of Shu actually acted like a scoundrel, are you ashamed?!" Xiao Chunyue struggled, but she couldn't break free from Xiao Yanzhi's hands.
Xiao Yanzhi smiled and said: "It's okay, Jun Meng often says that I don't look like a prince, how do I look like a scoundrel." Oh, by the way, Junmeng is the youngest sister in the family, but she will be fifteen this year, and it is time to get married. ”
"What does the prince have to do with me?" couldn't break free of Xiao Yanzhi's hand, Xiao Chunyue stood by the bed with a cold face, not looking at Xiao Yan.
"How can it not have anything to do with my sister?" Xiao Yanzhi smiled, "Jun Meng is the daughter of his father-in-law and mother, and he is also half related to his sister, and there are two younger brothers, the eldest brother is named Xiao Ren'an, nineteen this year, and the second brother is named Xiao Xiangsheng, eighteen this year." ”
"Since I left the Xiao family, the Xiao family's qiē has nothing to do with me."
Xiao Yanzhi looked up at Xiao Junmeng and said with a smile: "Sister Chunyue, come home with me." When my mother fled to the village with me, it was my father-in-law and sister who saved the lives of our mother and son, and my mother would choose to be with my father-in-law, but also because I heard the news of my father's death, although it was a misunderstanding, but our mother and son caused my sister to suffer for half her life, and I can't shirk this responsibility. It's a bit late, but ...... I'm here to pick you up. ”
Hearing the last sentence, Xiao Chunyue finally couldn't hold back, and fell on the side of the bed and cried, which sounded extremely heart-wrenching with the sudden sound of heavy rain pouring outside the window.
How many days and nights have she wanted to go home and wanted to go crazy, and her dreams were all scenes of her father coming to pick her up, but every time she woke up, it was empty, why did she hear this sentence until now?
Xiao Yanzhi still sat on the bed, holding Xiao Chunyue's hand tightly, and said softly: "In the past, my father-in-law and sister gave me a home, but now it's my turn to give my sister a home, although there are no parents and elders in the family, but there are two sensible younger brothers and a lovely sister, and the prospective sister-in-law is also in Chang'an City, sister, you have just met, the kid who came with me, although that kid is as flamboyant as me, and he is older and dreams a lot, but he is sincere to Junmeng."
If my sister wants to live in the Shu Palace, I will arrange for my sister to live in the Shu Palace, where there are a lot of people serving my sister, and let them cook for you what she wants to eat, and let them go out to buy what she wants to wear. But if my sister doesn't want to live in the Shu Palace, then let's buy a house elsewhere in Chang'an City and pick my sister's favorite.
Then let's rent a shop in the East Market, just rent the Yan family's shop, I am friends with Young Master Yan, he will definitely be able to make us cheaper. Let's open a small shop there, and we'll sell whatever my sister likes. Maybe I can't always be by my sister's side, but Ren'an and Xiangsheng are very good at business, and with their help, my sister will definitely make a lot of money.
With me as a backer for my sister, my sister will definitely be able to meet a wishful husband again, let's not marry him, let him come to our family, if my sister can give birth to a big fat boy, let him be surnamed Xiao. ”
Xiao Chunyue cried even harder.
The kind of life that Xiao Yanzhi said sounded so ordinary, but it was an ordinary life that she gave up a long time ago, can she still find it back now?
Xiao Yanzhi said again: "Sister, don't worry, now that I am the king of Shu, what else can I do if this great power is not used to protect your life of peace and joy?" ”
Xiao Chunyue lay on the side of the bed and cried all the time, Xiao Yanzhi had no choice but to gently pat Xiao Chunyue's back for a while, until Xiao Chunyue's crying became smaller and smaller, and Xiao Yanzhi withdrew his hand.
Getting up and sitting on the edge of the bed, Xiao Chunyue suddenly felt a little embarrassed to cry too much, so she hung her head and didn't dare to look at Xiao Yanzhi, but asked in a low voice, "Your waist, are you okay?" ”
Xiao Yanzhi shook his head with a smile and said, "It's okay, it's just a little bit, and it's not hurt." ”
"It's going to scare people, it's been like this since I was a child!" Xiao Chunyue raised her head and glared at Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yanzhi smiled.
Xiao Chunyue turned her head to look at the closed window again, and listened to the torrential rain outside: "It's raining so heavily outside, it looks like I can't go with you today." ”
"It's okay, then wait until the rain stops," Xiao Yanzhi smiled, "I'll wait here with my sister, and when the rain stops, we'll go home." ”
"Yes, okay." Xiao Chunyue finally smiled.
But as soon as Xiao Chunyue's words fell, the window of the room was suddenly knocked open from the outside, three windows were broken at the same time, and three black shadows entered through the window.
Xiao Yan's heart froze, and he quickly hugged Xiao Chunyue to the bed, blocking behind him, and when he turned around to look into the room, he was held by a sharp knife against his throat.
"Lord Wang!" He Yan followed and pushed the door in, but when he saw Xiao Yanzhi holding a sword against his neck, he didn't dare to make a move.
Glancing at He Yan, the man in black said in a low voice, "Close the door." ”
The man in front of him was wrapped in black, and even his face was covered with a black cloth, so that his voice was a little blurred, and the only thing that could be seen clearly was a pair of eyes.
He Yan glanced at Xiao Yanzhi and Xiao Chunyue on the bed, and then slowly closed the door.
The man in black looked at Xiao Yanzhi again and said, "Sorry to disturb the prince for a moment, but please take your guards and this girl and go with us quietly." ”
Xiao Yanzhi raised his eyebrows lightly and said with a smile: "Since I entered the palace, I have been waiting for this day, but I didn't expect that this wait would be two years." It is really not a long sight to disturb such an important moment when other people's siblings are reunited. ”
"Lord Wang, please." The tip of the black-clothed man's sword sent two more points forward, so frightened that Xiao Chunyue grabbed Xiao Yanzhi's arm.
Xiao Yanzhi pouted and said, "Since you know who I am, you should also know that I have never been very obedient." ”
Before the words fell, Xiao Yan hugged Xiao Chunyue with one hand, and suddenly grabbed the quilt with the other hand and raised it towards the man in black, and after the quilt covered the sight of the man in black, Xiao Yanzhi raised his foot and kicked out through the quilt, and after kicking the quilt with the people, Xiao Yanzhi jumped out of bed with Xiao Chunyue in his arms.
He Yan quickly drew his sword and stabbed, successfully stabbing a man in black, and then entangled with another.
Xiao Yanzhi originally wanted to send Xiao Chunyue out of the room to escape first, but as soon as he opened the door, another man in black fell from the sky, which frightened Xiao Yanzhi and hurriedly pulled Xiao Chunyue back into the room.
Fortunately, the man in black blocking the door seemed to be divided into two factions, and one of them was protecting Xiao Yanzhi.
As soon as Xiao Yanzhi retreated with Xiao Chunyue like this, the man in black who had been kicked away by him before chased after him and slashed with his sword.
Xiao Yanzhi hurriedly hugged Xiao Chunyue and dodged.
Pulling out the soft sword hidden in his waist, Xiao Yanzhi pursed his lips helplessly: "I'm not good at using a sword." ”
