Chapter 54: Asking for Help
PS: Happy Chinese Valentine's Day, everyone~~~~~
After coming to Yunyin Temple for three days in a blink of an eye, Ke Xiyuan only felt that he felt as if he had returned to Renyuan Temple for two years. All day long, I nest in the study to practice calligraphy, and then occasionally teach Zhuyu a thing or two, or talk to Wukong, who occasionally comes over, and play a few games of chess.
But those who know her well know that she is unhappy and has something on her mind.
Zhuyu held a large stack of Ke Xiyuan's practice paper, came to the kitchen and threw it into the stove one by one, looked at Jiuhui who commanded the mother-in-law to cook, and couldn't help asking, "Sister Jiuhui, you don't want to persuade the master, if you continue to practice calligraphy like this, your hands will be tired." ”
Jiuhui rolled her eyes, "You girl, if you want to say that the master practices calligraphy, can't you be the happiest?" How? I've only been following my grandmother for a few days, and I can't stand it? ”
Zhuyu lowered her head, thinking about the map drawn by Ke Xiyuan and Xiaosheng before, plus her own male protagonist and that nasty ghost were all gone, so she naturally had her elegance in her heart. But after all, she didn't mention who she was, and she didn't ask Ke Xiyuan.
Zhuyu secretly felt a little strange, how could she be so sure that her grandmother would definitely be able to help them on this trip? Although her grandmother told her that the male master of this trip had another secret purpose, she looked at it coldly, and no one in this room knew the inside story except her. Knowing such a fact, Zhuyu was even more interested in Ke Xiyuan. Just thinking about it, a good person like grandma can still give a careful account to a person of unknown origin like herself, so why don't you serve her well?
Zhuyu glanced at Jiuhui again, and her heart became sweeter. Grandma only sued herself, and that was her own unique share. You must keep this secret yourself. For grandma, but also for his own father and mother.
After Jiuhui finished instructing her mother-in-law, she saw Zhuyu sitting by the stove with bright eyes and burning paper. I couldn't help but laugh and say, "Why burn it?" ”
"Grandma said, so as not to leave trouble, it will all be burned!" , Zhuyu thought clearly in her heart, and a refreshing smile appeared on her face, and she threw all the paper into it.
A mother-in-law screamed. "Oh, my little aunt and grandmother, you have to simmer!"
Jewel was stunned. He stood up and smiled, said a few sorry words, turned around and left.
Jiuhui looked at her and shook her head. But he still listened to her words in his heart. This Fleur didn't follow. Ke Xiyuan's three meals a day have become her most important thing. The two mothers-in-law who brought her simply did a good job in the kitchen, and she also had a lot less to worry about. But in the end, I still didn't miss it, Ke Xiyuan was a little depressed. This pearl jade comes to burn a bunch of practice paper every day, and Jiuhui just doesn't know. Although he complained in his heart about why Ke Xiyuan didn't just say it, he immediately warned himself that the master did this for the good of everyone.
Zhuyu burned the paper, and figured out a lot in her heart. In a particularly good mood, I went back to the study. called sweetly, "Grandma, I've been bored in the study for a few days, the slave and maid will accompany you to the back mountain for a walk!" Sister Jiuhui took the old mothers to the back mountain yesterday to pick a lot of mushrooms and sent them to the abbot to see, they are all edible. The slave saw that you used the mushroom soup well last night, and I want to pick some for myself today. Are you going or not? ”
Among the girls, Zhuyu is the youngest. So Jiuhui has something to do, and basically has to do it with glass. Ke Xiyuan's side is also a pearl.
Ke Xiyuan put down the pen, "You girl, you want to go out and play crazy, you want to pull me." Let's just go for a walk! Ke Xiyuan also felt like a trapped beast fight, obviously at the moment he could only wait for news or wait for someone to come, but he was still temperamental. With a faint ache in his arm, he secretly cursed himself for deserving a few words, and followed Zhuyu out.
Zhuyu was obviously happy, and kept talking all the way, but after being by Ke Xiyuan's side for so long, it was rare to say so many things like this. However, it really shows a little bit of the coquettishness that a girl of this age should have.
"You're so good, I look tired of that little bookworm every day." , Ke Xiyuan looked at the flowers that began to bloom slowly all over the mountains, knowing that spring was really coming, and her mood improved. Those anxieties also slowly subsided.
"Grandma, the slave really loves to read. You don't know, there was a time at Honggu's place, let alone reading, and I had to be beaten every day. When I see your book, I don't care about anything else, I have to read it first. But grandma, how do you know that I love to read those landscape travelogues the most? There is one thing that Zhuyu doesn't understand, why his master seems to know his preferences.
Ke Xiyuan glanced at her angrily, "That's because I like to watch." You girl, you have a fate with me. ”
When Zhuyu heard this, her heart was even happier, and she was picking mushrooms by herself, humming a small tune, and glancing at Ke Xiyuan from time to time.
"Madam, the people have something to ask for, and please ask the lady to fulfill it!" , Suddenly, a woman in white appeared, and regardless of others, she knelt in front of Ke Xiyuan.
Immediately followed by the panting Tangram, "You...... Why did you rush into your master? Seeing that the woman was still kneeling, she said to Ke Xiyuan, "Grandma, the slave doesn't know, as soon as the woman woke up, she asked where you were, and then ran out to find you, ...... look"
Ke Xiyuan waved her hand, looked at the woman who was kneeling in front of her, who had been asleep for three days, and asked with a smile, "Do you remember me?" ”
"Madame's fairy-like appearance, when you see it, you can't forget it. That day, Mrs. De said a word, and the folk girl fell asleep again. But don't hide it from Mrs. that although people don't wake up, sometimes they can know what happened around them. At a glance, Mrs. knew that she was the official wife of a big family, and asked her to be the master of the people's daughter, save my family, and save the people in our village! After the woman finished speaking, she kowtowed on the ground and looked at Ke Xiyuan with an earnest expression.
"I'm just a passerby, how can I help you? You and I are both women, how many things in this world can be solved by women? Ke Xiyuan didn't tell her to get up, but turned around and stopped looking at her.
"Madame don't have to hide it from me. I came to Yunyin Temple on this trip, and I only came here when I knew the identity of my wife. I know that Mrs. is the world-famous county lord of Yunxin, in this Huai River area, everyone knows that the county lord has come to Yunyin Temple. The folk girl really has grievances, and being found is also a dead end. It's not a pity for the death of the people's daughter, but the lives of hundreds of people in this village are hanging by a thread, and I don't know whether it is life or death at the moment, and I ask the county lord to be merciful and save us! The woman kowtowed three times, and the corners of her forehead were already red and swollen.
"Get up first! I can save your life, but I can push you out! You have said so much for no reason, how do I know who your surname is, where you live, and what you are asking for? Ke Xiyuan only felt that the woman in front of her might be another clue, and if the clue came to the door, how could there be any reason not to answer it? It's just that I'm afraid it's a trouble, and someone will come to the door to ask for it, so it's bad.
Qiqiao is also very angry, how can anyone ask someone to be so aggressive, but he still suppresses his temperament, "You get up first, I don't know and think that our grandma bullied you." You slowly say that if grandma can help you, she will definitely help you. ”
The woman looked at Ke Xiyuan's back, hesitated, but was still picked up by Qiqiao, and stood aside waiting for Ke Xiyuan to speak.
"You follow me into the study, Zhuyu and Qiqiao, you go and help Jiuhui! In the past few days, she has been tired. After speaking, he took the lead in turning back and walking to the study.
The woman bit her lip, listened to her words, her face was happy, and she followed Ke Xiyuan away. (To be continued......)
