Chapter 113: Just Curiosity
After the old way left, Li Xiaonuan fell into deep contemplation. Father Li and Su Shi stood outside the door, looking at her with a worried face. The old lady has been wandering around the village with Xiaojun in the past few days, just to find out the person who stirred Li Xiaonuan and Zhao Lichuan together.
Li Xiaonuan was depressed in the house for an afternoon, recalling her conversation with Lao Dao in the morning. After Lao Dao showed that he knew where Li Xiaonuan came from, the questions he asked revolved around Li Xiaonuan's modern world.
Li Xiaonuan picked up some people and things that the old Tao could understand and was not difficult to understand. Lao Dao is not a tricky person, and the questions he asks are not as sharp and incisive as King Jing, but he can ask the point.
For example, when the old Taoist asked Li Xiaonuan about his modern living habits, he was asking about the spiritual level and the constraints of the law. But when King Jing asked, he always focused on how people viewed the legal constraints of the time and how they treated the rulers of the time.
King Jing even had to ask questions clearly about weapons and military management and operations. It's a pity that Li Xiaonuan was a person who didn't like to watch political news in his previous life, so he didn't know much at all. But even if Li Xiaonuan only knew a few words, King Jing could listen to it with relish and solemnly record it.
Old way, because he is not from the imperial court, he asks most questions about people's livelihood. Of course, Lao Dao is still very curious about the interaction between various states.
In his previous life, Li Xiaonuan had worked in a multinational foreign company for several years, so if he knew some things about that, he told Lao Dao in detail.
Before Lao Dao left, Li Xiaonuan asked him why he wanted to ask those things. The old way replied: "Old way, I'm just curious." ”
yes, curious. In his previous life, Li Xiaonuan was also quite curious about life in ancient times. But now, Li Xiaonuan really wants to say that she really doesn't want to live in ancient times. It's too hard. Everyone thinks and acts differently than she does.
She had to put a lot of energy into trying to adapt to her current life. You also have to be careful everywhere to be noticed by others. Under the rule of the feudal monarchy, what I am most afraid of is the demon and the witch. If one doesn't get it right, her entire people will suffer.
Li Xiaonuan thought about it for an afternoon and came to a conclusion: that is, to change himself slowly and little by little. Then, let the family, and even the people around her who knew her, be able to adapt to her way of life, which was somewhat out of step with this ancient time.
Early the next morning, Li Xiaonuan took the things given by Lao Dao and calmly went to the hospital to find King Jing.
Along the way, Xiao Gang talked to Li Xiaonuan about his bits and pieces in the medical hall. Of course, the topic is inseparable from his excellent master Qi Ji. From Xiao Gang's relay, Li Xiaonuan heard a message.
Qi Ji often goes in and out of the Red Mansion, and the romance is infinite. But he is also a typical example of being among thousands of flowers and not sticking to the leaves. But there is also that cheeky woman, relying on the fact that she once sang lyrics and played music for Qi Ji, so she went to the medical hall to let him redeem herself.
This reminded Li Xiaonuan of the deserted street on the day he lost his way after coming out of the Wei Mansion that time. Now that I think about it, it should be Red Street. And at that time, Qi Ji was beaten there. When asked how he was there, he seemed to behave unusually.
Tibetan Baicao is still very lively, and people at all levels such as people who come to seek medical treatment are bustling. In the front hall, the apprentices and medicine boys who knew Li Xiaonuan greeted her with a smile. Li Xiaonuan also responded to them with a smile.
Entering the backyard, Xiao Gang ran to find his master. Li Xiaonuan sat in the waiting living room, waiting for King Jing's call. She looked at the brocade box on the table, thinking that no matter what, she would have to declare to King Jing that she refused to contact the people of the Zhao family again.
The little maid is very efficient. Li Xiaonuan was only halfway through a bowl of tea, and someone came to invite her to see King Jing. In fact, Li Xiaonuan was very puzzled, in fact, King Jing didn't need to live in the hospital hall at all, but he lived here.
Standing outside the Fuwei Courtyard, Li Xiaonuan took a few deep breaths before stepping into the courtyard with his usual mentality. The old saying goes: If you come, you will be safe. Therefore, she is Li Xiaonuan, in front of discerning people, she does not need to hide her true motives.
After kneeling, Li Xiaonuan was still arranged to be seated. King Jing looked at the codex in the brocade box and nodded happily. But those manuscripts alone are clearly not enough.
"Yes, that's what the old man said, and the people there are not much different from us, except for their darker complexions. It's their language, it's very difficult to understand, and it's very difficult to communicate. Li Xiaonuan is no longer cautious, and there is no need to think twice. She had to be herself, at least in front of those who knew her secrets, and she didn't have to hide them.
"Hmm." King Jing nodded cautiously and said, "In this way, they have gone to many places, and only the people there are more kind to outsiders. I remember you just said that they were once tied up as slaves in one place, and I don't know where in that place, in your picture? ”
Li Xiaonuan got up, stepped forward and pointed a place on the world map she had drawn, and added: "Most of the people there are murderous and live in groups in a tribal situation. And then there's the tribe that eats the invaders raw, and that's what makes it terrible. ”
Li Xiaonuan explained while pointing to the area on the map. King Jing took the pen and marked it on another rubbing. It was nearly an hour before the two men ended their Q&A. Li Xiaonuan looked at King Jing who was deep in thought, and finally mustered up the courage to explain her thoughts.
"Oh? The king thinks that you do not care what the world thinks of you. Why, can't the former Li Xiaonuan really be found? King Jing raised his eyebrows and asked.
Li Xiaonuan sighed helplessly and returned: "Your Highness, Xiaonuan really doesn't care about the opinions of the world. But the world cares about what Xiao Nuan does, and Xiao Nuan's relatives and friends don't want Xiao Nuan to be too self-conscious. Also, Xiao Nuan didn't want to break off the pitiful relationship with Aunt Zhao. ”
King Jing nodded and said, "Got it." This king is curious, how did your black charcoal brother know our purpose. Since you don't want to come forward, this king is not reluctant. Alright, you can go back first. Whatever is the matter, let a letter be sent to the king. ”
Li Xiaonuan responded, stood up and owed a debt. King Jing just said that he should not be treated as a prince in the future, just treat him like he did to Doctor Jing before.
Just as Li Xiaonuan was about to walk out of the door, King Jing stopped her again: "When did your Aunt Zhao come to your village?" In what capacity did she come at that time? Also, has she been wearing a veil all along? ”
Li Xiaonuan looked at King Jing suspiciously, and asked, "Lord Wang, why are you asking about Aunt Zhao?" ”
King Jing was a little embarrassed on his face, but he still said: "It's just curiosity, you just answer." ”
Li Xiaonuan nodded and slowly explained the origin of Aunt Zhao. Of course, I also told Aunt Zhao that her face was burned. (To be continued.) )
