Chapter 8 Xufu
"Guest, your horse. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info”
After breakfast, Jing Ci took the silver he borrowed from Cui Lu and continued to set off.
Considering many factors, she continued to rush to Tanzhou. If you go to Lanling aimlessly to look for someone, what if you can't find it? Can you go back to Luoyang to find death? It's better to go to Tanzhou to settle down first, at least she knows that there is a thorn named Xu Ran there.
In July, the hot weather gradually turned cooler, and the wet clothes were not changed in time after sweating, and the cool breeze invaded, and it was easy to catch the wind cold.
A few days of hard work.
Many days later, Jing Ci finally fell ill.
All the way was muddy, I asked for the road in a daze, and went all the way south, no matter how uncomfortable it was, I had to hold on. She kept warning herself, Wang Jingci, you have no one to rely on, you must not die on the road, Daddy is still waiting for you to find out the truth, you can't die!
I can't remember how many days she took, but she finally arrived at the door of Xu Ran's mansion in Tanzhou.
It's here, it's finally here......
Jing Ci struggled to get off the horse, his eyes were dark, and he fell off the horse and was unconscious.
…………
When I opened my eyes again, my head was as heavy as a thousand pounds, and my consciousness was a little chaotic.
In front of me are strange curtains, strange furnishings and rooms.
"Little lady Wang is awake, notify Ah Lang quickly." The maid waiting by the bedside was very surprised.
The maids were smart, their eyes wide open, and they stared curiously at the people they had taken care of for a day and a night on the sickbed.
"What ...... this," she said, her voice unusually hoarse.
"Little lady, this is Xu Tingshi's mansion. You caught a cold and fell ill in front of our house yesterday, but now you are better? ”
"Hmmm......"
"Come, drink saliva, my Ah Lang will come later. My Ah Lang knows that it is Yang Xiaoniang who fell in front of the mansion, but he is worried about death...... "The maids are all smart.
"Mr. Pei." Suddenly, there was a noise outside the door.
Pei walked in three steps and two steps, his face showing worry that he didn't even notice.
"Aunt Pei......" Seeing the familiar figure, Jing Ci was unexpectedly excited, her nose was sore, and her eyes were red, she thought it was ...... I thought it was ......
"I've lost so much weight......"
Jing Ci's tears finally slipped down, as if he had finally found a place to touch his scars. Daddy passed away, she fled all the way, fled here, and suffered great physical and mental trauma, even if she was at odds with Pei San on weekdays, but seeing her at this moment, she was still excited and grateful.
Thanksgiving...... and spared the Wang family's life.
Pei San sat on the edge of the bed, staring at Jing Ci's haggard and emaciated face, her complexion was sallow and lacklustre, and she couldn't help but feel emotional, thinking that she was the little master of the Wang family, ten days ago, she was still apricot and peachy, and she was lively, and now she ...... At the age of fifteen, he was alone for so many days, and he was tortured to look like this!
"On the day Ah Lang came back from the manor, he sold all his family property, and then ordered me to come to Tanzhou with my belongings, but unexpectedly...... Presumably, Ah Lang had already noticed these things, but unfortunately it was still a step too late. Pei Sanyi's jade fingers clutched his clothes to vent his hatred, and his eyebrows and eyes were full of resentment.
"Aunt Pei, who did it?"
"Hmph," Pei San sneered, "It must be inseparable from the Yang family." ”
Jing Ci looked ignorant, "Yang, Yang family? ”
"Now that you are a member of the royal family, you must seek justice for the royal family."
"Ah Lang Zhi—"
There was another sound outside the door, and a slender old man with pale temples strode in, about sixty years old, dressed plainly, and his temperament and figure were very handsome and decent.
"Niece, you've suffered." Xu Ran saw Jing Ci on the sickbed, and hurriedly stepped forward, revealing shame and distress.
"Presumably you are Xu Tingshi, Jing Ci finally met you."
"Just one step away, the Wang family will be safe and sound, just one step......" Xu Ran clenched his fists and sighed, his eyes were faintly red, and when it came to regret, no one was as good as him, the person who had always arranged to help Zhang Luo. As soon as he received Wang Yeye's letter, he immediately set about it, thinking that the next step was just to hold a banquet for his best friend, but who expected that the last step would be like this.
"It seems that ......" Jing Ci throbbed, and even complained to himself, "If I hadn't done the salute, I wouldn't have delayed the trip!" "It's all her fault, why did she go on the fourth day of the seventh month! Why did Daddy wait for her, it was nothing more than a courtesy, she didn't value it......
Wang Ye has always attached great importance to every birthday and every small progress of his beloved daughter.
"No," Xu Ran shook his hand, his voice trembling slightly, "There has been a dispute between the DPRK and China for a long time, and fate and fate ......"
"Xu Tingshi, please tell Jing Ci, who wants to put the Wang family to death?" Who the hell is so ruthless! Since it is a dispute between the DPRK and China, why is the Wang family involved? Daddy has abandoned the official and lived in the manor.
Xu Ran sighed, "Niece, your father has been idle all his life, and he bought a house in Tanzhou in the middle of the year, just hoping that the family will live safely in Tanzhou, you must not be involved, against your father's wishes." "Brother Wang is such a daughter, he has to defend anything for him.
"The Wang family can't just be so unclear......
Xu Ran shook his head slowly, "You have a good rest first, you don't need to worry about everything when you get to Tanzhou, cultivate for a while, and then make other considerations, everything, there is Uncle Xu." ”
He gave some more explanations of his daily affairs, and then ordered the rest of the people to retreat.
…………
Jing Ci was completely sleepy, his brain was messy and abnormal, Daddy had arranged everything in Tanzhou a month ago, and he had plans to move, Daddy had expected it...... But why, it has to destroy the entire Wang family. She must investigate this matter clearly, Daddy can't die in vain! She swore that it would be thoroughly investigated!
The Xu Mansion is very attentive to Jing Ci, Xu Ran and Wang Ye are close friends, and the master has repeatedly emphasized that the people dare not slack off.
A few days later, Jing Ci did not ask any more questions about the initiator of the Wang family's annihilation. She understands that what Xu Tingshi did is also what Daddy wants, but she is really unwilling to let the Wang family become a victim for no reason. As smart as she is, she understands that the first task is to recuperate, and the body is the biggest capital.
After Pei San came to see her, he continued to devote himself to the work explained by the king industry.
The maids of Xufu took care of it meticulously, adding clothes to the wind, drinking medicine, and the ratio of work and rest, and the maids all carefully reminded Jing Ci's body to finally improve.
The weather is soft, and the occasional sit in the pavilion in the backyard for a while. The maid who took care of her from time to time brought tea and poured water, and put on clothes, she really lived the life of a noble lady. Wang Ye is in charge of the family, there are not many people, Jing Ci has no personal maid at home, everything he can do is done by himself, and he mixes with the children of the Xiao family next door all day long, and he doesn't like anyone to follow.
On this day, Jing Ci was sitting in the pavilion, and there was laughter in the distance, and a man and a woman came over surrounded by slaves. The person who came was about the same age as her, and since she was playing in the backyard, she must be the child of the Xu Thorn family.
The woman has a beautiful face, a delicate hairpin is inserted in her bun, and a white lotus is shown on the pale green Luo skirt. When the woman saw Jing Ci, she stepped forward with a smile, "Are you the lady of the Luoyang Wang family?" ”
"Exactly, my name is Jing Ci."
The woman grinned and said, "I've heard that there is a beautiful woman living in Uncle's Mansion, and her health is better?" ”
"Words, no gibberish," the man behind him stepped forward, looking sven and scholarly, "I'm sorry, my little sister always loves gibberish, and the little lady is not surprised." ”
Jing Ci smiled indifferently, "It's okay. ”
"Yo, cousin, I've never seen you fight for someone, this time...... What's going on? The woman joked and laughed meaningfully.
"Nonsense." The man glanced at his cousin Qian Zhiyu, turned to Jing Ci, and looked sincerely, "In Xia Xu Yuzhi, the second in line, known as Xu Er, is the nephew of Xu Zhishi, and his grandmother is critically ill, so she came to visit Xu Mansion." ”
The woman still smiled and said, "My name is Qian Zhiyu, and I came to Tanzhou from Chang'an to visit my grandmother." ”
It turned out to be the nephew and niece of the Xu Thorn family, even though she was playful, but her demeanor was quite temperamental.
"You two brothers and sisters are really interesting, one is Yuzhi, the other is talking."
"But my 'language' has always been disliked."
"You talk a lot, my aunt has the right name."
"There are full of osmanthus flowers over there, do you want to go and see it together?" Qian Zhiyu asked Jing Ci.
Jing Ci refused, "No, the light fragrance wafting from here is just right to nourish the spirit, it's too strong and doesn't smell good, besides, it's ......."
"And what?"
