Chapter Twenty-Six: Climbing the Wall and Surprise—In the Dry Well
After Ling'er checked for Mrs. Mu, her heart fell after hanging all night, so she told her to recuperate and leave.
Mrs. Mu was very grateful in her heart, and she had other thoughts about Ling'er in her heart, so she casually withdrew the jade bracelet on her wrist and said: "This bracelet is not worth a few dollars, but it has been with me for a long time, if Ling'er doesn't dislike it, take it to play."
Ling'er saw that the bracelet was crystal clear with wisps of blood, which showed that it had been worn for a long time, and it should be his beloved thing. But after all, he was just a gesture, how could he accept this great gift, so he had to smile and say: "Madame's heart, Ling'er understands it, but this bracelet is still suitable for you to wear." Seeing that she was sincerely unwilling to accept this gift, Mrs. Mu felt a little disappointed in her heart, but she was helpless, but she was more than appreciative of Ling'er's indifference and money.
Mu Chenfeng watched his mother's eyes show a look of love for Ling'er, his heart was sour for a while, and he stepped forward and said, "Second Miss has been working hard recently, it is better to go to the front hall to drink tea and rest for a while."
When Mrs. Mu saw her son say this, she also praised her heart, so she said to Ling'er: "Go quickly, taste the snacks in the house," and said to Mu Chenfeng, "Good life to entertain the second miss."
Mu Chenfeng nodded yes, and led Ling'er to the front hall.
When she arrived in the front hall, Ling'er exclaimed in her heart: "Sure enough, it is a wealthy family, and a living room is so magnificent, it has the area of its own small courtyard." There are several landscape calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, a vase on the left and a clear mirror on the right. The front of the eight immortal tables is placed against the wall, and a beautifully carved Taishi chair is placed on the left and right sides of the table, and the left and right sides are also furnished, but the tables and chairs are all one size smaller. Ling'er has never liked sweets, but seeing that this pastry is crystal lovely, she can't help but pinch a piece and put it in her mouth, which melts in your mouth, soft and glutinous and sweet. Xin said: "No wonder Mrs. specially said let me taste the dim sew, it is really delicious." After eating, he glanced at Qingxi standing next to him, and said to Mu Chenfeng: "This snack is delicious."
Mu Chenfeng was tasting his own tea, and said, "Second Miss praised it."
Ling'er scratched her hair, "I'll bring some later." ”
Mu Chenfeng almost choked on the tea he had just drunk, and said in his heart, "Just now, my mother didn't want such a valuable jade bracelet, but now she asks for a little food, she is really a ghostly girl." Then he waved his hand to the maid standing beside her, and the little maid turned around and went out to prepare.
Ling'er ate a snack, drank some tea, felt much better, supported her chin with her right hand, and asked Mu Chenfeng: "I saved your mother's life, how are you going to thank me?"
Mu Chenfeng was not surprised at this time, after getting along for so long, he knew that although the beauty in front of him was like a little daughter, he was not the one who would suffer. Gently put down the teacup and looked at Ling'er, and said, "The second lady can just say what she wants."
Seeing that it was so refreshing, Ling'er didn't feel "hehe" Yile, and said: "Help me find some guys and doctors from the medical center, you pay the salary in the early stage, and then I will pay it myself when I have a profit in the later stage, what do you think?"
Mu Chenfeng frowned slightly, he really couldn't figure out what this little person was in his head, she was the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the princess of Hengwangfu in the future, but why did she want to open a medical hall. But he didn't ask, he just said, "When do you plan to open and how many people do you need, and you will be delivered on time."
Ling'er sighed for a moment and said: "There is less than a month left until the fifteenth day of next month, so naturally the sooner the better, first invite a doctor, six guys who know a little about herbs and treatment." But I still have to see how to find King Heng's house to decide, tentatively scheduled for the eighteenth of this month, there are still ten days, it's too late. ”
After the two discussed, Ling'er got up and said goodbye. It was still early, Mu Chenfeng wanted to send someone to see him off, but Ling'er directly refused on the grounds that he wanted to go around by himself. Mu Chenfeng sent his master and servant to the back door, and the long-bodied jade watched him leave, until Ling'er had walked far away and disappeared into the crowd before turning around and slowly going back.
Qingxi followed behind Ling'er with the snacks she took from Xunyin Building, and asked, "Miss, are you going back to the Prime Minister's Mansion now?"
Ling'er intended to go to Hengwang's Mansion at this time, but she was in a hurry yesterday, and since she forgot to ask about the medical hall. But she thought that Baili Xin'er was probably in Hengwang's Mansion at this time, maybe she was still with King Heng, and she appeared at this time, so Baili Xin'er was probably indispensable. After thinking about it, he was very depressed, and suddenly he had an idea: "Qingxi, you go to King Heng's mansion and help me deliver a letter, just say the word "medical hall" to the little guy guarding the door, and let him tell King Heng." ”
Qingxi reluctantly said: "It's better to let the slave maid send the young lady back to the house first, and then go to the Hengwang Mansion, what do you think?"
Ling'er pretended to be serious and said: "You're still afraid that my young lady will get lost, go and go back quickly, I can recognize the way back."
Qingxi was helpless, so he had to turn around and walk towards the Hengwang Mansion step by step.
When Qingxi walked away, Ling'er suddenly felt a lot more relaxed. I walked and walked around and strolled around, since the last autumn festival has not been a good visit to the street market of the ancients, at this time I just saved someone's life, and the hospital saw that it had landed, and I suddenly felt extremely relaxed. You have to see everything you see, and you have to taste what you eat, which is really refreshing for people to be happy at every happy event. After shopping for a long time, I found a teahouse that looked good and went in to rest, and the shopkeeper watched such a golden and beautiful young lady come out to hang out alone, and specially came to greet him personally.
Ling'er didn't know tea, but in her previous life, she drank a lot of chrysanthemum tea and rose tea with her mother, but since she came to this world to drink tea every day, she still has a little feeling for good tea. She didn't think about it, she just said casually: "Just ask for the best tea in your shop."
The shopkeeper looked at her as a layman and said with a smile: "Why don't you try the best Pu'er girl in the new shop?"
Ling'er nodded yes, and the shopkeeper beckoned Xiao Er to tea.
The shopkeeper said, "Girl, are you going to watch the lanterns tonight?"
Ling'er looked up at the shopkeeper with interest, and the shopkeeper saw that Ling'er was quite interested in this, and couldn't help but say proudly: "It's a lantern festival every year in Beijing, don't you know?"
Lantern Ling'er knows that there are still lantern festivals in many modern cities, but he has never participated in it, and he doesn't feel it.
Ling'er said again: "The shopkeeper will order the delicious dim sum in your store, and I will go to visit the Lantern Festival after eating it."
The shopkeeper saw that his few words had attracted business again, and he was busy running to prepare.
Ling'er tasted tea and ate snacks in this teahouse, which was pleasant. When it was time to hold the lantern, Ling'er settled the account and walked out, she was going to go to the lantern festival alone tonight. How perfect it would be if there was an old mother and sister with her, Ling'er thought of her family in her previous life, but this thought flashed in her heart and threw her mind behind her and dodged into the bustling crowd.
There are a lot of pedestrians on the street, and everyone is walking and watching, which is very lively. Where has Ling'er seen so many exquisite lanterns, she can't help but be dazzled, touch this like, look at that and love, and grope for a long time on the edge of a lantern stall.
The peddler was born like a scholar, and he didn't make a living selling lanterns, but today's Lantern Festival, he likes to fight poems with people, guess riddles or something, so he came out to set up a stall to join in the fun. If there is something pleasing to the eye, you don't need silver, you can pick a lantern with a few lines of poetry. This scholar saw that Ling'er was dressed as a rich lady, but there was no maid by her side, and she was curious. Seeing that she loved her lanterns in every way, she couldn't help but have the heart to send them away, so she said: "If Miss likes these lanterns, you can send them to the next poem, and you can get a lantern."
Ling'er heard it at first glance, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, she didn't have much silver taels on her, just now the teahouse has been spent most of it, and she wants to buy a few lanterns to hang in her own courtyard, but the silver in her pocket is really not enough, so she stood here and hesitated for a long time. Now I heard the stall owner say that he could send it off, and said with a smile: "Really?"
Seeing that she was innocent, the scholar nodded with a smile, just waiting for Ling'er to send a poem.
Ling'er looked around and saw a lantern painted by flowers and birds in front of her, and after a little thought, she said aloud a poem from the primary school Chinese textbook in her previous life: "I see the mountains from afar, and I hear the water silently from close." The flowers are still in spring, and the birds are not surprised. ”
The scholar listened to Ling'er's recitation, and was stunned for a long time, he originally just wanted to be such a lady, but he just recited two sentences to suit the occasion. Where did I think that it was such an export, the battle was neat, and the literary brilliance was flying, and it was several times stronger than himself, and admiration arose.
Ling'er saw that the scholar was stunned, and said in a weak heart, "Didn't he plagiarize and was discovered, or did he regret it and didn't want to give me a lantern?" My heart went up and down for a while, and I didn't want to think about the lantern anymore, so I turned around and wanted to leave.
When the scholar saw that Ling'er was leaving, he came back to his senses and arched his hand: "Xiaosheng is so polite, dare to ask where the girl is from?"
Ling'er had an epiphany, "It turns out that I was 'amazed' by my talent!" I couldn't help laughing three times in my heart, and turned my head back: "My mother taught me, can this lantern be taken away?"
The scholar was stunned, speechless for a while, and said, "Girl, please choose by yourself."
Ling'er was not polite, stepped forward and took the lantern of the landscape and left, walked a few steps and turned back and said, "Thank you!"
didn't spend any money, but I got the lantern for nothing, and I gave Ling'er to Lehe. Holding the lanterns and walking around for a long time, before I knew that there were many fewer pedestrians on the street, Ling'er felt that it was time to go back.
He held the lantern and swayed back slowly, and when he was about to get close to the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he suddenly thought that going in this way would inevitably attract gossip. Looking left and right, he walked around the periphery of the Prime Minister's Mansion and walked backwards, trying to find a suitable place to climb over the wall and enter. It's a pity that there is not even a street lamp in this life, but fortunately, the moonlight in late autumn is not bad, and it took me to stumble for a long time before I touched the northwest corner of the courtyard wall. If I am not mistaken, Ling'er remembers that this should be a deserted courtyard, with a slightly lower wall than elsewhere. And his yard is in the northeast corner, and it's not impossible to go around it, but I'm too lazy to grope like this anymore, so it's better to go in from here as soon as possible. Ling'er vaguely saw a small branch in front of her, and climbed the branch to climb the branch and trembling and climbing to the wall. It was nothing to her, and she climbed up to the wall and sat on horseback for a while.
It's not comfortable to sit on the wall, and with the lantern in my hand, I want to observe the terrain and jump down. Hey, there seems to be a person in the distance walking towards this side with a lantern, Ling'er held it down, wanting to wait for the person to pass over.
The man came nearer and nearer, and he came toward the courtyard. Ling'er's nervous hands trembled, if someone found him sitting on the wall, this would spread out, and it would be another storm. Ling'er leaned down, tried to hold her breath, and watched the lantern get deeper and deeper into the courtyard.
Ling'er was suspicious in her heart: "What are you doing in such a deserted yard at night?"
When the man walked closer, Ling'er's heart jumped suddenly, and he almost exclaimed, since the person holding the lantern was his father in this world, Ji Qian.
I saw that Ji Qian entered the courtyard, cautiously looked back and forth, left and right, and saw that there was nothing abnormal, so he walked towards the dry well in the courtyard. When he came to the well, he first put down the lantern that was burning, then lifted his robe and turned to go down the well, and when he reached his shoulder, he took the lantern from the well with his hand.
Ling'er, who was lying on the wall, was dumbfounded, and said in his heart: "There must be something wrong with the well." At this time, Ling'er didn't dare to jump down recklessly, so she had to gently slide down the wall tentatively. I was going to run out of the yard quickly, but I couldn't suppress my curiosity, so I quietly walked to the dry well probe to see what the situation was.
Ling'er went to the well, slowly poked her head over, and saw only a black patch by the hazy moonlight. I was unwilling, so I stretched out my hand again to test it, but there was nothing. At this time, I just thought about it, and when I had the opportunity to take a look again, this hour was really scary, so I turned around and ran out of the yard lightly.
When I ran to the outside of my courtyard, I saw Qingxi and Nuo'er standing against the door, looking forward to it. Seeing Ling'er coming, the two hurriedly greeted her, and Qingxi grabbed the young lady, as if she was afraid that someone would run away. The three girls entered the courtyard and plugged in the door, and Qingxi complained: "No matter what Miss says in the future, Xi'er can't leave Miss, you only came back in the middle of the night, and Sister Nuo'er and I are in a hurry to death." Noel was relieved at this time, turned around and went out to fetch water to freshen up the young lady.
Ling'er only now feels that she is safe, and when she sees Qingxi complaining, her heart is warm, and she doesn't explain, because she shouldn't have been greedy until now. Suddenly, he thought of Qingxi's recent visit to Hengwangfu, so he asked Qingxi, "What does Hengwangfu say?"
Qingxi hurriedly said: "King Heng summoned the slave maid to the study, and told the slave maid to get up early tomorrow to pick up the young lady to see the house."
Ling'er listened to it, and she kept thinking about it before she put it down.
After a little freshening up, Ling'er used some snacks again, and Nuo'er helped the young lady make the bed. Ling'er was still frightened by what happened to Fang Cai, so she coaxed the two of them and said, "I met something fun outside today, why don't the three of us sleep together tonight, and I'll tell you about it?"
Nuo'er looked at the young lady with a smile, and then turned to look at Qingxi behind her. Qingxi hurriedly clapped his hands and praised: "Okay, good, it's best to listen to rare things."
Noel smiled and went to get the bedding, and the three girls were crammed into a bed. Ling'er absentmindedly told them where there was delicious food and delicious dim sum in the market, and praised herself for the lanterns she won by writing poems. The other two couldn't stand it, and the upper and lower eyelids fought, and she still kept chattering. In the end, even I was so confused that I didn't know what to do, in fact, what I was thinking about was the dry well and what Ji Qian went down to the dry well alone at night. I didn't fall asleep until the second half of the night.
