Chapter 385: The night is quiet, and people are not quiet
The tea on the table was already cold.
I glanced at the small stove in the room.
Unexpectedly, there was still a pot of tea on it, and when I approached, I could feel that there was still some residual warmth.
So, Yuan Bao kept it for me before going to bed? I distinctly remember not asking for it, and the only request was to keep a lamp.
I looked away, and a thought turned in my mind.
Recalling some of the previous details, I was a little distracted for a moment, and my eyes glanced in the direction of the side room on the ground floor.
It was late at night, and it was even quieter inside and outside the Qingyin Pavilion.
The night was cold, but when I walked in, it was warm, and Yuan Bao also ordered an extra charcoal basin for me.
For the first time, I walked over to the steaming charcoal fire and fiddled with it a few times.
The charcoal fire used in the east house of Yuwen's Suzhou family is also excellent, comparable to what I saw in the Xilan Palace.
Naturally, there is no need to say much in the palace, the best resources in the whole of Zealand will be concentrated in the palace walls of the national capital, but the Yuwen family is a businessman, and it is inevitable that I can afford to use such good charcoal, I will inevitably think far-reaching in my heart.
Suddenly, I walked over to the cage and looked at the little rabbit inside.
When Adele left, she left some food for it, put it on a small plate, and put it on the ground next to the cage.
Two brothers and sisters, one stuffed into the other, empathetic, and aware of the details.
I was thinking that when I left Suzhou, it would be most appropriate to hand over the rabbit to Ade.
The little rabbit follows Adele in the big kitchen, and there will always be endless food.
The only thing the little guy needs to worry about is whether he will be remembered by others.
I was about to go upstairs when Yuan Bao came through the small door.
Can such a slight movement wake him up?
I guess he probably had something on his mind. I've been sleeping soundly.
He looked at me with a little sleepiness on his face, and looked a little embarrassed: "Childe, are you done?" ”
I nodded and said in a gentle tone, "What are you doing when you get up?" I don't have anything to do here for the time being, you go and rest. ”
"I have something to do for you tomorrow, and I need someone to make a fire for me then."
Yuan Bao froze for a moment, and then his spirit perked up, and he almost rolled up his sleeves to help, looking eager to try.
"I'm talking about tomorrow, not now! Ingots. ”
I gave him a funny look and reminded. I know he probably didn't hear clearly, someone who just woke up. "Yuanbao, it's not right today. It's already yesterday, and yesterday you followed me to a few places in Suzhou City. “
I wrenched my finger and said, "From the time-honored restaurant to the teahouse, and the pharmacy where I came and went with Ah in the middle." "Childe," Yuanbao's eyes lit up. There was a little eagerness in his eyes when he looked at me. "Do you want to go to Westside again tomorrow?" "Yuanbao" I reluctantly stopped the topic, reached out and knocked on my forehead and said with a smile, "I am a hundred willing to let you take me to Suzhou City, and it is best to eat all the food with a good reputation in Suzhou City." “
The corners of my mouth tugged slightly, and I looked at the ingots in a somewhat casual tone, and said lightly: "Especially those delicacies hidden in the alley, others may not know it to you." "Childe," Yuan Bao smiled. Then go, you have to stay in Suzhou for a few days anyway. "No, I can't. I have a mission on my part, and you know what I hope most is to find my senior brother as soon as possible, and he and I originally planned to go to the Northland together. “
Yuan Bao looked at me, a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes, he lowered his head and did not look at me, and the room fell silent all of a sudden.
I thought for a moment and said, "Take a step back and say, I went alone, and it was also when I couldn't find him, and I was very helpless." “
Hearing this, Yuan Bao suddenly raised his head and stared at me, his eyes were as inquiring as usual. "Childe, are you still worried about going to the Northland to prepare the silver?"
Yuan Bao asked in a whisper, and he stared at me, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes but not looking away. "Not all, but only partly." I looked at Yuan Bao without hesitation, "There are other reasons, I really can't go into detail now." "Yuanbao, I want to go to the dock tomorrow to have a look, wait for a long time," I looked at him thoughtfully, and continued, "When you come back to Qingyin Pavilion, you can help me and go to the small kitchen to make a fire." “
Yuan Bao said with a little surprise in his tone: "Childe, this is a trivial matter, and it is very simple. "Okay, that's it, Yuanbao."
He nodded subconsciously and looked at me very sincerely: "Childe, tomorrow the little one will talk to the steward, and prepare the carriage and wait for you to go out." "Bothered."
I sighed, stared at the wall across from me, and didn't say anything for a long time.
The attic was still quiet, and I said to Yuanbao: "I guess the Fu steward won't find us here again, it's okay now, I'll go upstairs." ”
Lying on the chuang after washing, I felt a little uneasy in my heart.
Actually, I don't know why, I think it's probably because I'm too busy and delayed so much that I can't sleep when I miss the time to go to bed.
The taste of insomnia was unpleasant, and I lay there tossing and turning for a while, and I heard some movement in my ears.
I rolled over on the chuang, suspecting that I was hallucinating, but after opening my eyes and listening intently for a while, I felt that something was still wrong.
This feeling has been felt before, when I lived in Dongyuan, which was still Ji Jiu's territory.
At that time, the people who went into the yard to do it were even hitting the roof.
How did I deal with that? It's just my own sleep, that's how calm it is.
As long as it doesn't collapse and the roof falls off above and falls in front of me, I don't want to be part of their fight, unless that's the case!
I frowned, paying attention to the movement outside the Qingyin Pavilion, and waited for about a quarter of an hour, but I didn't hear footsteps, which were probably coming from farther away.
I convinced myself to sleep peacefully.
This sleep. I don't know how long I slept, but I knew that when I heard the sound outside again, it was not yet dawn at all.
I woke up suddenly. Immediately felt that something was wrong, and quickly got up and dressed.
After a while, I heard footsteps from the side of the curved bridge, getting closer and closer.
That voice sounded rushed, what was going on?!
Go back three hours ago.
There was a stalemate on both sides of the mountain road, and no one continued to move forward, stopping there for a moment of silence.
Until the maid's question. It can be regarded as breaking the deadlock.
The boy was followed by two guards, and when he got closer, he could see the person on the other side.
As the Hua family guard said, one is the maid next to the eldest lady. The other is the escort who escorted them to Beilang Mountain.
Both of them looked very embarrassed, especially the maid who was following her, who was covered in mud and the hem of her skirt was torn.
At this moment, the troublemaker in the young man's eyes lay motionless on the guard's back. Close your eyes.
The boy has a keen eye. When I looked closer, I could see the problem at a glance, and my eyes focused on one place, and it was obvious that her legs were colored.
"The carriage has flipped on the mountain," the maid said in a voice with a little fright, mixed with joy and trembling slightly when she saw them suddenly appearing, "Third and third young master, the eldest lady is injured in the leg. Fainted. ”
The young man lowered his face and whispered something, and no one could hear it clearly.
The gaze wandered around. The boy took a quick step forward, grabbed the man directly from the guard's back, and hugged him.
The boy carried her to the side of a rock and gently lowered it.
Seeing the blood stains on her legs clearly, the young man took out the medicine bottle from his arms without saying a word.
He went hunting in Beilang Mountain, and naturally carried the wound medicine with him to be prepared, in fact, he hunted with well-trained guards, and so far, the wound medicine has not come in handy.
Unexpectedly, the result of this trip to Beilang Mountain was still used, but the object of use was not their people.
The boy frowned, and just as he wanted to make a move, he suddenly stopped.
He had some apprehension in his heart, and let go of his hand and motioned for the maid to help him instead.
The young man stood up and said calmly to the maid, "Her wound needs you to deal with it." ”
The maid was stunned for a moment, and her hand trembled and she took the medicine bottle handed by the young man.
"It's an external powder, temporarily to help her stop the bleeding," the young man's face softened slightly, and he instructed the maid, and then his tone changed, "But what the specifics are, I'll wait until I get back." "Looks like I need to ask a doctor to come and see it."
The young man glanced at the people on the rocks and said, "Just for emergency use." ”
All these words he said were the longest he had said tonight.
The third young master of the Yuwen family, who was silent along the way, always gave people the impression of indifference, and at this time, even the guards of the Hua family were a little throbbing in their hearts.
The maid was busy applying medicine to her own lady, and the powder touched the wound, Xu because of the pain, the eldest lady in the coma moaned low and groaned.
Taking advantage of this moment, the boy had to turn around and walk away for a short distance.
Coincidentally, three guards also gathered around him.
One of the guards turned to look over from a distance, and saw that the maid was carefully applying the medicine, and before he could take a closer look, the boy coughed.
The guard immediately turned his head honestly, not daring to look further.
"She hasn't woken up yet, and depending on the situation, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to just ride to Suzhou City," the young man said in a low voice after thinking about it, "It's better to let the people from the racecourse courtyard prepare a carriage and rush to the bottom of the mountain to respond." ”
"Which of you is going?"
His eyes flicked over to the three people standing beside him.
The guards exchanged glances, and the young man's meaning was very clear, he himself needed to escort Miss Hua down the mountain.
As for the candidate to go to the racecourse, it is one of the three of them.
"Third young master, the mountain road is not easy to walk, the little one will stay and help you escort it together, or let the people of the Hua family go to the horse farm."
The guard of the Yuwen family thought about it and said in a low voice.
The other two guards were silent and didn't dare to speak because they were worried in their hearts, they were always a little afraid of the third young master of the Yuwen family, so it was better for the other party to make the decision!
The young man groaned slightly, shook his head and said, "In this way, you take the guards of the Hua family, a total of two people, and another person from the Hua family stays to help me escort together." "You are more familiar with the road on the racecourse than they are, and when you see the steward, explain the reason as soon as possible."
The boy paused, and added, "You ride my horse, faster." “
Shenma?!
The guard who was about to leave stumbled when he heard this, and almost didn't fall, but the little master actually let the horse ride for himself, I really didn't expect it!
The guards were a little excited.
The young man looked very calm, briefly ordered the next arrangements, watched the two guards turn over and get on the horse neatly, and rode away one after the other.
One of them had a different look, because it was a rare thing to be able to ride the horse he had longed for for so long.
When I go back to the Suzhou East Mansion, I can still talk to the other guards!
The boy walked over to the rocks again and glanced at the one the maid was holding on.
Seeing that she was thinly dressed, the young man said in a deep voice: "It's just nonsense, come to Beilangshan to dress like this?!"
The eldest lady of the Hua family was wrapped in a cloak and leaned on the maid at this time.
In the moonlight, you can clearly see the brightly colored thin riding clothes she wears, which looks like the kind that only wears in spring and summer.
Wearing such a riding outfit can show off a slim figure, but hunting in the cold is not much use at all, and the typical vase attire.
Dressed like this, come to Beilang Mountain to find him?! The implication is clear.
The young man had a displeased look on his face, pursed his lips tightly, and his eyes fixed on her face.
In the moonlight, he rarely looked at the troublemaker quietly, he hadn't seen her for a long time, and she, like him, had grown a little taller.
This meeting was different from the past, and I remember that when I came in the past, every time we met, it was very unpleasant.
Actually, what she was thinking, the teenager thought he was quite clear.
"The eldest lady came in a hurry, and the slave maid took several sets of clothes for her"
The maid who followed Miss Hua didn't finish speaking, she raised her head first and glanced at the young man quickly.
Seeing that his face was unwavering, he definitely did not show a look of displeasure, and the maid looked at his face and lost his mind for a moment.
She calmed down, clenched her fists before she mustered up the courage to raise her voice by two points, and continued to the young man: "Miss refuses to wear a slave maid to take it, before going out, this is the last thing she chooses by herself." ”
The maid beside her whispered, and after speaking, she didn't dare to look at the young man in front of her, and lowered her head deeply.
The young man gave her an extra look, his eyes were deep, and his face was cold.
The guards on the side saw it and couldn't guess what this master was thinking at the moment.
The bleeding on Miss Hua's leg has stopped, and the maid bandaged her roughly, she has not studied medical skills, and she is not proficient in this, and the effect of the wrapping is unsatisfactory.
The young man had already seen it, his lips moved, and he wanted to go up, but it was not appropriate to do it by himself after all, so he didn't say much.
Seeing him walk to the edge of the rock, the guard of the Hua family hurriedly trotted forward.
The young man waved his hand and refused, picked up the person on the rock, and walked down the mountain.
He didn't walk fast, but he was steady.
The guards and maids followed him in silence.
All the way I heard only the sound of the mountain wind and the footsteps of three people! (To be continued......)
