Chapter 12: After the Fame
When it was getting dark, Fang Nian and Wang Dongshan finally arrived at the mansion, and Jing Ci was able to change into clean clothes. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn this attack, more than half of the Yang Mansion's team was lost, and the major and minor injuries were all raised in the inn, but fortunately, Xue Chongjian brought enough men and horses, which was enough to fill the gap.
The group rested in Didian for a day and two nights, Jing Ci was seriously injured, and he could no longer afford to work long distances. The next person to lead the team was Xue Chongjian, who was gentle, at least quite gentle with Jing Ci, and set off again after repeatedly confirming her condition.
The carriage moved slowly, much slower than it had been in previous days.
"If Siniang hadn't been injured, she would probably have to suffer all over her body." Fang Nian pursed his lips, handed a cup to Jing Ci horizontally and steadily, and suddenly raised his little head for a burst of excitement, "With Xue Langjun's escort, we don't have to worry about it all the way, we can go back to Chang'an slowly." ”
"Did Steward Wang already calculate that someone was sneaking up?"
"Isn't this obvious, not to mention that Steward Wang has calculated correctly, the eldest lady must have expected it, otherwise she would not have asked Princess Taiping to help." Fang Nian's mouth is fast.
Jing Ci's heart tightened, "Do you know who the assassin is?" What is the relationship with the Yang family and Princess Taiping? ”
Fang Nian knew that he was talking too much, so he hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand and shook his head, "The slave doesn't know." She couldn't stop her stinky mouth, and before going out, Mrs. Qi repeatedly warned her not to say much.
Jing Ci lowered his eyes and fell into deep thought, the assassins, the Yang family, the Xue family, and Princess Taiping...... It's really relevant. Before leaving, Aunt Pei said, "Today, the major clans in the court are in chaos, you have to sort out the inextricable relationships and find out the real culprit who destroyed the Wang family." ”
"Fang Nian, are my parents in good health?"
Fang Nian paused, thinking about this and should be able to say, "Hmm...... Although Ah Lang is old and has inconvenient legs and feet, his body is still quite tough. Now everything big and small is in charge of the eldest lady. ”
"How old is my sister, can I get married?" Jing Ci didn't know anything about the Yang family.
Fang Nian burst out laughing, "Your eldest nephew is eighteen." ”
"Really?" In this way, my sister has grown a lot older than her.
Fang Nian is cheerful by nature, "Now there are only three ladies and four ladies who are not married." ”
"So my mother must be very old, right?"
"Fourth Lady, you were not born to the main mother, you and the third lady were born to Ah Lang's concubine."
Wan Niangzi, her biological mother? It turned out to be a concubine's room...... This also makes sense, the one who will be passed out is naturally a concubine, but I didn't expect her to have a sibling sister.
After chatting with Fang Nian, I gradually learned that the Yang family was the Sui and Tang dynasty clans of Hongnong Huayin, not to mention the farthest ones, the upper three was Yang Shida, a famous minister of the Sui Dynasty, the maternal grandfather of the Emperor Zetian Dasheng. Jing Ci's father, Yang Zhiqing, is the general of the twelve guards in the palace, and now he has passed the age of the sixtieth year, and Zhishi lives at home. The Yang family's mother has been dead for many years, but her biological mother is still alive.
The Yang family has four daughters, the eldest daughter and the second daughter are from the main mother, and she and the third daughter are from the main mother's cousin Wang Wan. In this way, Wang Wan is also Wang Xiye's cousin. Now the eldest daughter of the Yang family, the eldest sister of Jing Ci, is the principal of the Yang family's affairs, first married to the grandson of Tang Gaozu Li Yuan, Guangping County Gong, and later married to the Hu family. The second sister is the princess of Li Chongjun, the current saint's beloved son. And the third sister of the compatriots is one year older than her, and she is in the boudoir.
"The fourth lady is hungry? Let's eat some dim sum, this dim sum is delicious," Fang Nian opened the food box, presented the dim sum in front of Jing Ci, and introduced it piece by piece, "Osmanthus cake, cloud crisp slices......"
"Okay, I'm not hungry or faint, you can eat some too, you took care of me all the way, and I was tired enough." Fang Nian has been guilty of following her for the past few days, and she is still serving from time to time, she is not used to having someone to serve this and take care of that.
"The slave is fine, it is the slave's duty to take care of you." Fang Nian's small mouth is very sweet.
"Didn't your foot hurt when the carriage overturned that day?" Jing Ci had already noticed that there was something wrong with her feet, "You can rest well, I can take care of myself." ”
Fang Nian blinked, and was slightly moved, she had never received such compassion in the Yang Mansion with harsh etiquette over the years, and she didn't expect that she would meet the master of the fourth lady who took care of her subordinates as soon as she was transferred, and she was too lucky.
"Is the fourth lady tired? There is a shop in front of you, so you can take a break. Xue Chongjian's voice sounded outside the carriage.
After getting along for a few days, Jing Ci learned that Xue Chongjian was the son of the former concubine Xue Shao and the second son of Princess Taiping.
"Siniang, it's time for you to change your dressing." Fang Nian reminded her master that she remembered the time when her master changed the dressing.
"Then there is Lao Xue Langjun."
…………
Di shop.
Although Fang Nian is a powerful maid, she has never bandaged her external injuries, and she is clumsy when she changes medicine, and she even bandages Jing Ci's wrist so bloated.
"Fourth lady......" Fang Nian looked at the master with a sad face.
Jing Ci was helpless, "That's it, I'll do it myself." Fortunately, she has ridden horses, played polo since she was a child, and played with the Xiao brothers and sisters in various ways, always bumping into each other, and bandaging and changing dressings is a trivial matter for her.
It's a pity that it is really difficult to change the dressing with one hand.
Seeing this, Xue Chongjian, who was drinking tea leisurely, put down the teacup and took the medicine bottle in her hand without saying a word, "I'll come." ”
Fang Nian hurriedly stepped aside.
"Your injuries are extremely serious, and if you don't cook them raw, I'm afraid it won't be able to heal." Xue Chongjian held her hand with a wide palm, gently blew off the previous medicinal powder, and sprinkled it on the wound little by little evenly.
Jing Ci's skin is delicate and smooth, and this hideous wound is very abrupt, about painful, and he always subconsciously withdraws his hand......
Xue Chongjian grabbed her wrist steadily, not letting her move. Her hand was very small, Xue Chongjian held it in the palm of her hand, it was soft and comfortable, and she lost her mind slightly for a moment.
Except for Daddy and Xiao Ping, Jing Ci had never been so close to other men, and subconsciously broke free a little.
"I'm sorry." Xue Chongjian looked embarrassed.
Jing Ci also felt uneasy, "Thank you." ”
"It's a gesture."
After dealing with it, Xue Chongjian returned to his seat and continued to drink tea, but his expression was not as calm as he was.
Jing Ci pursed his lips unconsciously while drinking tea, and finally simply put down the cup and stared at the humanity in front of him seriously: "Regardless of the relationship between the Yang family and Princess Taiping, I have never lived with you, thank you for sacrificing your life to save me." I am not a person who does not repay my kindness, and if you need help in the future, you can call me. She raised her head slightly, sincere and calm, and her father taught her the word "morality" since she was a child.
A hearty smile was revealed on Xue Chongjian's face, and he didn't expect this petite fourth lady to be quite proud, "Okay!" But when he thought about it, although her body was weak, her brain and temperament were very developed, "But with your temperament in the Yang Mansion, I am afraid that there will be no fewer people who will ask me for help in the future." ”
"Since Xue Erlang said this, if I get into trouble in the future, don't stand idly by." She hurriedly laughed. Not to mention that he is the son of Princess Taiping, which will help her investigate Daddy's affairs, Xue Chongjian's personality alone is quite in line with her appetite, and it is a pleasure to make such a friend.
"You really don't shirk."
"Jing Ci thanked Xue Erlang first." She laughed.
Xue Chongjian shook her head with a smile, this little girl is cheap and well-behaved, and she is very clever.
