Chapter 30: It's an Old Man (Typo)
"Father-in-law, why is this?" Wen Rao looked at the little eunuch who had walked away, and knew that the little eunuch must have said something to Gonggong Li.
"It's nothing, in short, there are noble people who are willing to help you, and you can be regarded as a blessed person." Gonggong Li praised.
"Then can you tell me who he is, and I can thank him in the future." Wen Rao asked.
Gonggong Li stroked his bare chin and shook his head, "Entrusted by people, loyal to people, in short, you will know in the future." โ
Gonggong Li made it clear that he wanted to keep his identity for the other party, but Wen Rao saw that she couldn't ask, so she had to give up.
It's just that the ten taels of silver for a broken hairpin really embarrassed her, so she returned half of the silver to the other party.
Gonggong Li is not a person who is short of money, even if he lacks this little bit of money.
But although he is generous, he doesn't like to be wronged, and seeing Wen Rao do this, his heart is a lot more comfortable.
After Wen Rao left, someone sent one hundred taels of silver tickets to Gonggong Li.
Gonggong Li waved his hand, "That's it, you better take it back and return it to him, this thing will be sold to Wen Rao's favor." โ
Wen Rao went to the place where Changsheng was punished, and after a few rounds with the man, he finally led Changsheng out.
Changsheng remained silent, and when he walked to a place where no one was, Wen Rao had something to say to him.
"Changsheng, you should have lived a peaceful and beautiful life outside the palace, why did you enter the palace?" Wen Rao paused and asked.
Changsheng was stunned for a moment and stammered, "You, what did you say." โ
Wen Rao saw that he was embarrassed for a while, and he wanted to hide something as much as he could, so she took out the square handkerchief.
As soon as Changsheng saw Na Pazi, his whole person was stunned, and he was already stupid, so he was completely speechless now.
"I know you don't want to sue me, and I can't force people to make it difficult, I remember this time, and I will pay you back the money first." Wen Rao took out her purse and wrapped it with this handkerchief, pushed it directly into Changsheng's arms, turned around and left expressionlessly, and before she took two steps, she heard Changsheng behind her speak.
"Miss......"
Wen Rao sighed lightly when she heard this familiar name, and stopped her steps, he really knew himself.
"I, I'm Xu Changsheng, the Xu Changsheng next to the Yuxue Pavilion steward Fu Bo, you helped me get through the siege, I always remember it."
Wen Rao was stunned for a long time, such a familiar and unfamiliar memory, she chewed repeatedly, and finally remembered who he was.
Fauber ...... Xu Changsheng, that was the name of a long time ago, this memory melted in his mouth like a lotus heart, bitter, if he didn't say it, Wen Rao almost thought that he would forget.
The woman has five years in ten years, and it is the time when a matchmaker breaks through the threshold, but she has turned sixteen in more than a year at that time, which is the time for the girl's family to get married. She didn't know how many people in the family came to propose marriage, but she was still arrogant at that time and turned everyone away with confidence.
All of them thought that she did not follow the ethics of a woman, and that she was not clean behind her back, and that the identity of the eldest lady of the Wen family and her gentle face and figure were worthy of the identity of the concubine around them.
They looked down on her, and she was willing to put down her body and commit to them.
She guarded the Jade Snow Pavilion wholeheartedly, and she had no distractions.
It was at that time that Changsheng remembered Wen Rao.
Changsheng was poor, the family was sparse, and his parents died early, so he could only rely on his grandmother to support his family.
At that time, he was opportunistic and took the waste materials that he didn't want in the back hall to make some silk flowers worn by girls, and sold them privately at a low price.
It didn't take long for this matter to be discovered, and no matter how Changsheng assured him, no one would be willing to believe his words.
"How much is your silk flower worth? It's better to sell it to Yuxue Pavilion. โ
He thought he would be sent to the government, but he heard a woman say this.
That person is Wen Rao.
Since then, he has been unknown in Yuxue Pavilion, and he never thought of changing his job until his grandmother died.
Later, Fauber took him, and he has been following Fauber's side to do things.
Until Wen Rao got married, until Yuxue Pavilion became Ning's, she vainly tried to replace all the inside of Yuxue Pavilion with her own people.
Fu Bo is not the shopkeeper of the store, but just works up and down like a housekeeper, and has the most important account book and rouge recipe of Yuxue Pavilion in his hand, so he is particularly respected. He was loyal to Yuxue Pavilion, and when the Ning clan asked him to hand over something, he didn't give anything, whether it was coercion or inducement, the tighter the Ning clan pressed, the more embarrassing Fu Bo's life became.
In the end, Fu Bo quietly gave the things to Changsheng and asked him to find Wen Rao and hand them to her.
"Fu Bo is old, he has no queen, treat me like a parent, I should share his worries and solve problems." Changsheng told the story.
Wen Rao's face turned pale after hearing this, and she was drenched in a cold sweat.
Changsheng noticed that her face was different, and he couldn't help but take a step forward and said nervously, "What's wrong with you?"
Wen Rao took a few steps back, shook her head, wanted to say something but couldn't say anything, turned around but ran without looking back.
Changsheng looked at her figure running away from the desert with some frustration.
Do you dislike him, he is now a eunuch, not a man who can be trusted......
After Qi Yao finished handling his affairs, he was going to walk in the direction of the dormitory.
When he entered the bedroom, he saw a pink coat making the bed with his back to him, and he reached out to touch her, but suddenly stopped.
"Who are you?" Qi Yao asked.
The pink-clothed palace maid turned around and saw that it was Qi Yao who knelt down in fright, "Slaves and maids see the emperor." โ
"Where's Wen Rao?" Qi Yao's face quickly became gloomy.
"Wen Rao should indeed come today, but Aunt Xin didn't find Wen Rao, she said that Wen Rao didn't obey, and when she found it, she had to be โกโก obedient before she could be by your side, so she was still a slave and maid."
Qi Yao glanced at her lightly, raised his feet and walked out again.
"Where is the emperor going now?" Gao Lu asked.
"Which garden does Wen Rao live in?" He asked.
Gao Lu immediately said it, and Qi Yao went in the direction he said without looking back.
Behind him, Gao Lu sighed.
He really didn't have much heart, it seems that he will know all of Wen Rao's whereabouts in the future, so that he will not be derelict in his duty next time Qi Yao asks.
It was dark at night.
Wen Rao's place is not like the residence of the masters, and there are lights everywhere.
It was pitch black all around her, and she couldn't see the darkness of her fingers.
She reached out to cover her eyes, but she still couldn't stop the frames from floating in front of her.
She has done so many things over the years, and she also told herself that Yuxue Pavilion would return to her hands sooner or later, and she just had such an idea, and she couldn't realize it after all.
She shouldn't treat Yuxue Pavilion as a dead thing, and drag it out again and again.
She had failed Fu Bo and Changsheng, they were people of great trust, but she had never thought about her responsibilities so far, what she wanted to do was to maintain the Jade Snow Pavilion, instead of treating it as something of her own and putting it aside rashly.
It was a mistake she had made, and the immortal who had become a eunuch appeared alive in front of her eyes, allowing her to see the price those people had paid for her.
Wen Rao felt a little cold, and couldn't help hugging herself tightly.
"Why are you hiding here?" Qi Yao looked at her condescendingly.
"......" Wen Rao shuddered for a moment, and didn't answer him, no wonder it was cold, he opened the window so wide, he didn't leave the good door, he wanted to climb the window quietly.
Qi Yao stretched out his hand to pull her up from the ground, but suddenly stopped. He crouched down and was at eye level with Wen Rao.
"I bullied you like that, and you won't hide secretly, why do you have to act so pitiful now?" He stroked her hand and tried his best to control his strength, for fear that he would be like last time, and make her face pale.
Wen Rao bit her lower lip and said nothing.
"Don't be afraid, I'm just worried about you, and if you're afraid, lean on me." His voice was soft and soft, and Wen Rao couldn't see his face, and could only imagine his expression from memory.
With a soft and harmless face and caring eyes, he was originally a man with an excellent appearance, but his means and identity were even more important than his appearance, making people ignore his appearance.
"I'm sad in my heart......" Wen Rao's voice was weak.
He stretched out only one arm, and she gently slipped into his arms, two thin hands around his waist.
He was stunned suddenly, he was like a big bad wolf holding his breath, tempting the silly rabbit to jump over, so the rabbit really jumped over and approached him with an absolutely leaning posture, which was a feeling that he could not get by taking the initiative to prey.
"Did the aunt in charge bully you?" He felt as if his heart had melted, and the soft ball in his arms snuggled up to him, and his originally cold body was warmed by his own body temperature, and then reciprocated the temperature of her body to himself, and the two depended on each other.
He sighed softly and raised his hand to caress her back, silently reassuring.
"No one bullied me." Wen Rao was afraid that he would be angry with others, so she explained.
Qi Yao didn't ask any more questions, but just comforted her in the way she liked.
The night made her forget a lot of things, as well as fear.
She felt that the person she was holding was not Qi Yao, but another person.
He was a burly man, with a solid chest, and his gentle arms gently protected her, allowing her to breathe in this place where she had no place to go.
This person was as she imagined, and Qi Yao's disobedience made her hesitate. But the night blinded her eyes, and the person she could feel was Qi Yao.
