Chapter 150: It's a Game of Chess
Steward Feng finished speaking, but the person did not move there.
I waited a few seconds, then looked up at him and saw that he had something to say on his face.
I frowned and blurted out, "Mo Fei, is there anything else I don't know?" ”
"According to the time when Dr. Liu made an appointment to meet you, I don't think you need to worry, because the Xueyue Building is open at this point is the front building, although the front building is also a few men, but there are only singers, and there are no ......" Steward Feng paused in his tone.
I smiled and said, "Sure enough, as I expected, I told Cui'er yesterday that Dr. Liu is a famous doctor in Qibei and should act in a measured manner." ”
"The people of the Lord found the master who delivered food for Xueyue Lou in the market this morning, and heard some news." Steward Feng said.
"My senior brother's subordinates are really ......," I said a little speechless, "no wonder they all say that he is the quickest news, it turns out that these subordinates are the most powerful, I haven't made a sound here, and I have already done my homework in advance." “
"Now that I've been to investigate, what's the news?"
"Xueyue Mansion is the same as usual, nothing has changed, but I heard that Dr. Liu has been living in Xueyue Mansion recently." Feng said.
"That's right, it's very logical, he lives in Xueyue Tower, and it's normal to ask me to meet there."
"I didn't have time to ask yesterday," I raised my eyebrows and looked at Steward Feng, "Is that place also the property of the Liu family?" “
"Not bad." Steward Feng replied very simply.
I was silent, pacing to the sand table in the corner of the room, looking down on the models I had built up there.
"The Liu family is really not simple, the money village is opened in Qibei, and it is getting bigger and bigger. I didn't expect that there were even Fengyue occasions under their banner, and if we looked at it this way, I am afraid that their news would not be slower than that of my senior brother. “
Steward Feng nodded yes.
I continued: "I heard Cui'er say that the Liu family's money bank has only been open for a few years, so did Dr. Liu also come with them? Is he part of the Liu family? ”
Steward Feng shook his head and said: "Doctor Liu has been in this town for more than ten years, at first the most famous doctor in the town was not him, and then he once entered Qishan by chance and rescued a mountain man who was injured by a poisonous snake in the mountain. Originally, the family was going to have a funeral. “
"After that, I heard his address in the town, and there were many mountain people who came to him for medical treatment, and over time, the people in the town also knew that he was a good doctor, and they went to see a doctor, so Dr. Liu became the most famous doctor in Qibei by word of mouth."
"A few years ago. The Liu family came to this town to find Dr. Liu, it is said that he was a relative, only a few people came at the beginning, and then settled here, bought a house, and then started a money business, and then the situation was great. That's what you know now. ”
"The business is getting bigger and bigger, the more houses are bought, and the scope of its business has expanded to other places, so it can be said that the hand is getting longer and longer." I said in a flat tone, "Steward Feng, I seem to have heard that the forces of the Liu family are about to cross the head of the government in this area." ”
"Yes, but they don't do illegal things, and the government can't catch them, as you said, the power is indeed very large."
I was thoughtful. He waved his hand to let Manager Feng go down.
…… Setting out a chessboard, I sat at one end holding a few black and white chess pieces in a daze, and Cui'er behind me came over and brought me tea and said, "Girl, you have been sitting here alone for a long time." ”
Cui'er looked at the chess pieces in my hand and said in surprise: "There are always two people to play chess, how can the girl be alone, the slave maid will call someone who knows chess to accompany the girl to play, okay?" ”
I shook my head and said, "Cui'er." You don't have to have two people to play chess, someone once taught me that you can be one person to attack and defend a city, not to mention a pair of chess pieces. ”
Cui'er looked at me confusedly. I took the chess pieces and smiled: "You don't like to hear this, come, tell me what to cook for dinner." ”
…… The drums were beaten a few times, and there were still a few lights on in Qibei at night.
In the bamboo forest in the courtyard, under the azure moon shadow, Chen Yuqing stared at the self-lit lamp in the room and sighed softly.
He was about to step forward when the boy guarding the door blocked his way.
"Pavilion master, report to the son."
After three knocks, there was some movement behind the heavy curtain curtain, and then a soft and pleasant voice like a valley spring sounded: "Let him in." “
The boy looked relieved, saluted Chen Yuqing and opened the door to let him in, and carefully closed the door slowly, then walked away a few steps, and stayed far away under the porch.
Chen Yuqing lifted the curtain, and as soon as she entered the back room, a warm air came to her face.
The temperature was so high that he was almost sweating.
Yun Chu, who was lying on the bed on his side, exerted some strength, sat up slightly straight, glanced at Chen Yuqing and said, "You came late at night, there is urgent news?" “
Chen Yuqing's eyes were already firmly locked on the thin pieces of paper in Yun Chu's hand, which were the two prescriptions prescribed a few days ago.
He clenched his fists, and his voice was a little hoarse: "Young master, you can't rest well, and you have to worry about that girl." “
Yun Chu's eyebrows throbbed, for a long time, and he smiled slightly: "Why don't you rest, I lie on this bed all day long, how can I rest?" “
Chen Yuqing knew that it was useless to say anything, so she couldn't help but sigh again.
"It's you, there is still a tough battle to fight next, I don't have any tasks to give you these days, and the people of the Liu family have done all the big and small things, do you blame me in your heart?"
Chen Yuqing looked at Yun Chu, the pain of the day had made Yun Chu's whole person clear a lot, even if the temperature in this room was too high for ordinary people to stand it.
He knew that only in this way could he slightly alleviate the pain of Yun Chu's illness, Yun Chu had almost become a porcelain man these days, and everyone was taking care of him with great care.
I'm afraid something will go wrong!
Seeing that he wiped the sweat from his head, Yun Chu's beautiful eyes whispered with a hint of apology: "You go and extinguish the stove in the corner of the house first." “
Chen Yuqing shook his head and said, "There is indeed important news, Qin Sizhao's side has begun to move. ”
Yun Chu raised his eyebrows and looked at him with a smile and said, "I already know this morning." “
"Anything else?"
What does this mean by an eviction order?
Chen Yuqing was about to speak, but Yun Chu's body moved. After a few breaths, he said: "There is also news from the Flame Country delivered this morning, Bai Ziyao has already controlled the situation, and now, he is already the person who holds the real power in the Flame Country." “
Chen Yuqing was taken aback, and reacted quickly: "So fast? “
Yun Chu's gaze was a little sharp in an instant, and he said in a flat tone: "It's not fast, it's that you've been distracted recently, Yuqing." If you continue like this, I can only recruit people from the Flame Country, and you still take the people from the Martyrdom Pavilion back, huh——。 “
There is a coercion in the long tail note that the superior cannot be disobeyed.
"No," Chen Yuqing was shocked, knelt on the ground and said: "The subordinates are derelict in their duties, and let the young master punish them." “
"What are you and Yoo really doing behind your back. I really thought ......" Yun Chu coughed a few times, slowed down his breath, pressed his hand on his chest and abdomen and continued indirectly, "Do you really think I don't know?" “
Chen Yuqing knelt on the ground, his back was tense, and he didn't even dare to raise his head, he felt that it was hotter in this room. I almost couldn't stand it.
"It's just that I really want to see her, how could she hurt the little girl, I will watch the whole time." Chen Yuqing gritted his teeth and said.
Yun Chu's eyes fluttered with ice, and the words he said were even colder, and his gaze was like a flying blade slashing towards Chen Yuqing.
He snapped, "When will it be your turn to call the shots for me?" I really thought I was lying here and couldn't do anything?! ”
Chen Yuqing's back was already soaked with sweat, beads of sweat dripped down his sideburns, and he knelt motionless, like a clay statue.
After being silent for a while, Yun Chu slowed down his tone and said, "Since you want to see you." Just go for it. ”
Unexpectedly, it was such a sentence in the end, Chen Yuqing couldn't help but raise his head to look at Yun Chu, his eyes were confused.
"I'm just ...... I want to move somewhere. ”
The person with a three-point sickness on the bed smiled slightly, and the elegant figure under the white clothes was like a gloomy plant blooming in the dark night.
......, "Cui'er, I'm going to see Dr. Liu the day after tomorrow, do you think it's okay for me to back up the gift for him?" I asked Cui'er under the lamp.
Cui'er was grinding ink for me, her hands were moving, and her eyes were cast on me.
"Didn't you pay for the consultation?" Cui'er muttered. "The steward also gave a few taels of silver, and the price was high."
"That old man, he looks at people and collects money, and he looks at such a big garden. There are so many people, and they ask for a high price. Cui'er said.
"What's wrong with seeing people collect money," I smiled and nodded Cui'er's head and said, "If you are rich, you don't miss those few consultation fees, and if you are poor, Dr. Liu will symbolically receive a few pennies, which is enough to prove that he is a good doctor who cares for patients." ”
"The girl says so now, if you go to Xueyue Tower the day after tomorrow and don't see him again, come back to see you and say how he is?" Cui'er added unwillingly.
"No," I said with a soft smile, "this time, I'm sure I'll see Dr. Liu." ”
"You don't count." Cui'er pouted.
"I have a hunch, I can't be wrong." I winked at Cui'er and grinned.
"I've thought about it, the gift is important, just make some snacks and send it in a box, do you think?" I pondered for a moment to ask for Cui'er's opinion.
Cui'er said unhappily: "I don't make it for the old man, but the slave's snack is only for the girl." ”
"Hey, in this garden, when it comes to making snacks, you're the best."
"It's the best gift I've ever received." I emphasize one sentence.
The expression on Cui'er's face became happy again, she thought for a moment and whispered, "Okay, just this time." ”
"Well, let's not take this as an example."
…… Cui'er saw that the ink was polished, so she put down the ink block in her hand and rested it on the corner of the inkstone.
"It's not early, and the girl should rest after writing this letter, and the slave and maid go and close the window." As she spoke, Cui'er walked to the south windowsill and closed the wooden windows one by one.
I bowed my head and said nothing, and I quickly wrote on the paper that I was going to send someone to my senior brother tomorrow.
"Ah——!!!h Cui'er at the window suddenly let out an exclamation, which frightened me with a shake of my pen, and instantly drew a large strip of ink on the paper.
"Cui'er!" I put down my pen and laughed angrily and funny, "What are you calling nonsense?" ”
Cui'er turned around and said with a frightened expression: "The slave maid saw ...... A man had just stood in the lake. ”
I looked at her in surprise and hurriedly walked to the window.
I carefully swept my eyes across the lake in the distance, between the curved bridges, and looked down at the courtyard under the eaves, where did the figure come from?
"Cui'er, you're dazzled, surprised." I didn't care, but I turned back to the table, clumping the inked piece of paper into a ball.
"Cui'er," I looked up at her helplessly, "I have to rewrite it when you shout like this." ”
