Chapter Twenty-Three: Good Things Are Grinding—Suspicions
King Heng said with a smile: "Exactly, next month, the fifteenth senior brother, I will marry the second lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion." ”
As soon as Baili Xin'er heard King Heng say this in person, he suddenly felt a cramping pain in his chest, and tears fell from his eyes, and he almost fainted. King Heng hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and said with concern: "Little junior sister, what is uncomfortable, why don't you go to my house to rest for a while?" Baili Xin'er was already dead at this time, where did he care about what King Heng said, just shed tears, but did not say a word. King Heng had no choice but to pick it up and take it back to King Heng's mansion to settle down before thinking about it.
The man in black hidden in the bushes in the distance saw King Heng leaving, Fang stood up, the corners of his mouth were a little ruthless, and the token on his waist was not Rui Wang's Mansion.
Ling'er sent the Wang family away, and was thinking about how to take these treasures out and exchange them for more silver, and she became so rich for a while, this girl couldn't help but think about it.
Just as she was wandering, suddenly a dart shot in from the window with a "whoosh" and was stuck on the bookcase in front of her. Ling'er didn't have time to be afraid, and everything was already calm. She hurriedly got up and went outside to check, but there was no one except Qingxi, who was guarding outside. Qingxi was dozing off at this time, and when she saw the young lady running out, she hurriedly said: What does the young lady have to tell the slave?
Ling'er went to the courtyard again to take a look, but there was nothing abnormal, so she said to Qingxi: "It's nothing." Turned around and went indoors, picked up the dart on the table, and checked the note that the dart shot in: "See you in front of the Hengwang Mansion." Ling'er was not surprised, "Is there something wrong with King Heng?" It must be extremely urgent to see this situation. I didn't have time to think about it, so I turned around and instructed Qingxi: "Go to Hengwang's Mansion." Qingxi heard the young lady's instructions, so she hurriedly went to the front yard to find someone to prepare the carriage. At this time, Ling'er was already in a stable position in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and there was no one to restrain him from entering and leaving. But she is about to marry into the Hengwang Mansion, and she is afraid of complications, so she rarely goes out. Nuo'er waited for Ling'er to freshen up for a while, and Ling'er was in a hurry to get to the second gate, and the carriage was already waiting there. Ling'er and Qingxi got into the car, and said, "Hengwangfu." The coachman screamed softly, and the horse spread his hooves and galloped away, and it didn't take long to reach the vicinity of King Heng's mansion. Ling'er saw that there was no one outside the Heng Palace, and wondered in her heart, so she asked the coachman to park the carriage in a hidden place opposite the palace, so as not to attract people's eyes.
Ling'er sat in this carriage and waited, inevitably anxious, and when she was a little impatient, she heard Qingxi say: "It seems that the prince has returned."
Ling'er hurriedly looked over, and saw that a carriage was stopping outside the gate of King Heng's mansion at this time, and it was not King Heng who had just gotten off. But after seeing that King Heng got out of the car, he turned around and lifted the car door and hugged the next person, although it was not very close, but it could be clearly seen that it was a woman.
Ling'er was stunned, and her brain was in chaos.
Seeing this, Qingxi gently shook Miss's hand, only to feel the coolness of her bones, and shouted repeatedly: "Miss, Miss."
Ling'er didn't react at all, and Qingxi didn't speak anymore, only quietly accompanied.
After a long time, Ling'er Fang said coldly: "Go back."
The carriage drove towards the Prime Minister's Mansion again, and Ling'er returned to the Lingxi Courtyard and went straight into the inner room. Nuo'er was about to step forward to say hello, Qingxi stood behind him and just waved his hand slightly, Nuo'er understood, and didn't speak.
Ling'er and Yi were lying on the bed, thinking about what they had seen today, but they unconsciously shed tears, and cried silently for a long time. After crying, Ling'er felt relieved, and consciously promised King Heng to marry into the palace that day, although there was a reason why he was eager to get out of the prime minister's mansion, in fact, he didn't have a thought about it in his heart. After he was injured, King Heng ignored the world, and his meticulous care every day, as well as the glory of the day of his employment, these are enough reasons to let his heart slowly approach him. But the scene just now made his slightly warm heart suddenly cold, maybe it was nothing to the woman in this world, but he couldn't accept it anyway. That's it, just think it's a deal, I think I'm Ji Ling'er here, and I've seen a lot of warmth and coldness in this world, not much of this one. With this effort, it is serious to quickly prepare the medical hall and leave a way back for yourself. After a moment of communication, Ling'er got up and wiped her face with the basin in the room and went out the door.
When Nuoer and Qingxi saw Miss come out, they didn't know how to comfort them for a while. Ling'er only didn't see it, and said: "It's been a long time since I've cooked food for you, I'm happy today, Miss, I'll make you something rare." After speaking, he turned around and entered the small kitchen, and Nuo'er and Qingxi hurriedly followed.
Ling'er thought that from now on, only herself, Nuo'er, and Qingxi would be the real family, and she didn't want to do anything else, so these two girls were desperate for themselves. It's better to have a lively meal as a family today, and everyone will make dumplings and eat them together. It's good that I got engaged today, and when I get out of this prime minister's mansion in the future, there will be fewer people who will calculate and frame me, so I really should celebrate.
Ling'er took flour and noodles, and instructed Qingxi and Nuo'er to chop the meat filling, pat the ginger, and peel the garlic, and the three girls were very busy. When everything was ready, Ling'er gave everyone a demonstration of how to wrap it, Nuo'er was ingenious, and only a few times the bag was very good. Although Qingxi is a little clumsy, he can barely eat it when he looks at it. Several people wrapped it and commented on their craftsmanship, giggling and laughing.
Nuo'er was happy on her face, and sighed in her heart: "Such a master has no regrets even if he sacrifices his life for her!" Looking at Ling'er's eyes, where is the slave maid to the master, it is clearly the sister's love for the younger sister.
Seeing that the bag could not be put down on the case, Qingxi said with a smile: "Where can the three of us eat so much, with Miss's good skills, we will all become big fat people in the future."
Ling'er teased her: "If you're afraid of getting fat, I won't cook your share, do you think it's okay?"
Qingxi was about to argue, but he heard a male voice outside the kitchen say, "You can cook it for me to eat."
Ling'er said with a smile: "Young Master Mu is really a fairy, people say that it is difficult for immortals to catch up with the pot of rice, you are better than immortals, you can not only catch up with the rice every time, but also catch up with the delicious food."
Mu Chenfeng grinned at Ling'er, shook the folding fan in his hand slightly, and said, "Wait in the hall." He didn't wait for anyone to be invited, so he went straight to the house and waited for dinner. He is a dignified jade tree in the wind, and at this time, he looks like a cheeky scoundrel, not only does not annoy people, but also gives birth to three points of unruly.
Ling'er couldn't help but feel distracted, so she shook her head again, and secretly laughed at her nymphomaniac in her heart. hurriedly cooked the dumplings, prepared garlic and vinegar plates, and didn't let Nuo'er and Qingxi help, and brought them in by himself. Qingxi and Nuo'er didn't want to go in and eat together, and Ling'er didn't say anything, so they let him eat in the kitchen.
Mu Chenfeng saw Ling'er bring in a plate of food shaped like ears, his face was full of curiosity, and he said, "What is this?"
Ling'er explained directly: "Noodles, dumplings, pork and cabbage filling, hurry up and try them." As he spoke, he picked up a dumpling, dipped it in this vinegar dish, and then put it in his mouth.
Mu Chenfeng also learned from Ling'er to eat one, only to feel that his mouth was full of fresh fragrance, and he ate a lot of pasta, and he had never eaten it like this, so he couldn't help but praise: "Not bad!" Then he said: "It's a pity that King Heng has no luck today."
Ling'er sneered unconsciously: "Maybe people have something more beautiful, and they still care about such food."
The chopsticks in Mu Chenfeng's hand trembled slightly, and he smiled again: "Why is today also the day of your marriage with King Heng, this young master should send a congratulatory gift." After speaking, he took out a small bag made of brocade from his bosom and handed it to Ling'er.
Ling'er was overjoyed, and praised: "It's only been three days to do it, Young Master Mu is worthy of being the first son of the rivers and lakes, and it is really very efficient." When I opened the small bag, I saw that there were a lot of surgical instruments I needed, although the workmanship was not as good as the level of the 21st century, but it was also excellent, and I couldn't help but happily pick up each piece and play with it.
Mu Chenfeng saw Ling'er's happy appearance, and his heart was also happy, but he was puzzled when he saw her playing with these strange things, so he asked, "What are these things for?"
Ling'er said: "Cure the disease and save people."
Mu Chenfeng put down his chopsticks, pointed to the scissors in Ling'er's hand and said, "How do scissors save people?"
Ling'er simply picked up all the objects one by one and explained: "This kind of meniscus needle is used to suture wounds, which is much smaller than ordinary straight lines for human skin damage, for example, the last time King Heng was injured, if there is such a needle to suture the wound, it will be faster to get better." This is a needle holder, which is used to hold a relatively small suture needle, and this is a hemostat. ”
Mu Chenfeng saw that what Ling'er said was methodical, he had been in the rivers and lakes and officialdom for many years, fighting and killing, and death and injury were inevitable, how could he ever see a doctor use these things to treat injuries. Five points of belief in the heart, five points of doubt.
After Ling'er finished explaining, seeing his expression, he couldn't help but smile and said, "I know if you don't believe it, I'll give you some insight one day." After that, he said with a narrow face: "Even if I cut off your ears, I can sew them up for you intact, do you believe it?"
Mu Chenfeng heard Ling'er say this, and subconsciously touched his ears, which made Ling'er laugh, and he couldn't help but laugh when he noticed it.
After the two laughed for a while, they continued to eat, Mu Chenfeng looked preoccupied, and he was not as relaxed and happy as he was just now.
After the two finished eating, Qingxi came over to remove the dishes and clean up.
Ling'er saw that Mu Chenfeng still had no intention of leaving, so she said strangely: "Mu Gongzi has also eaten, and he still doesn't leave, if he is discovered by that good deed, I will suffer again if I don't have it." Ling'er is telling the truth, she can't be careless after experiencing those things before.
Mu Chenfeng seemed to have made up his mind and said, "Tomorrow, I will invite the second miss to my Xunyin Building as a guest, I wonder if the second miss can agree?"
Ling'er saw that he was uninhibited and uninhibited before he swept away, and looked preoccupied, and couldn't help asking, "Okay, what are you inviting me to do?"
Mu Chenfeng insisted: "You will know when you go tomorrow, and I will send someone to pick you up at noon." After saying that, he got up and left.
Ling'er was stunned for a while, and then stopped thinking about it, there were so many things that happened on this day, and she felt physically and mentally exhausted.
Qingxi brought water, and served Miss Nuo'er to wash up, Ling'er fell asleep, dreamless all night, and slept until three poles in the sun.
In the Hengwang Mansion, Baili Xin'er has recovered after a night's rest. She has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, and her body is much better than that ordinary woman.
Ning Yiheng recently went to the morning court, so he went straight to the Xiaoyu Courtyard next to the Cloud Courtyard where he lived to visit this little junior sister.
King Heng entered the room, and Baili Xin'er had already freshened up and sat in front of the window. King Heng stood behind him, silent for a long time before he called, "Xin'er, are you better?"
Baili Xin'er turned his face and saw King Heng wearing a light blue gauze lake gown, a finger-wide blue piping belt around his waist, standing in the sunlight at the door, his heart was shaking, and he saw the care on his face, and said warmly in his heart: "It's already good, thank you for your concern."
Only then did King Heng walk to his side and said: "Why should I be so polite to my senior brother, I have been taught by the master and his old man for many years, and I have not repaid any kindness, and I feel uneasy when I think about it."
Baili Xin'er said lightly: "Senior brother, have you been doing well all these years?"
King Heng saw that Baili'er had recovered, and he was overjoyed and said, "Everything is fine, but occasionally I miss you Master and Little Junior Sister."
Baili Xin'er's eyes lit up, she was taken out of the capital by her father three years ago, and she has been looking forward to coming back. This time, she heard that King Heng was about to get married, so she took advantage of her father's drunkenness and secretly rushed back from the Western Regions day and night, and she wanted to try again. Even though her confession was rejected by King Heng three years ago, she always thought that her father did not allow her brother to marry her, and her father was unwilling to let her marry into the royal family.
But in King Heng's view, Baili Xin'er is just willful, because he has always only regarded this little junior sister as a younger sister, and his sister's words are just a joke, never taken seriously, let alone touching the thoughts of children's private feelings.
Baili Xin'er heard King Heng say that he missed himself, and he couldn't help but hope even more, and said in his heart: "Even if he marries someone else, what if I marry him again." Then he got up and said, "It's very boring to stay in the room, why don't you accompany my senior brother to the garden for a walk?"
When King Heng saw Baili Xin'er's invitation, he wanted to refuse, but seeing the expectation in his eyes, he said softly: "Xin'er said that it would be good, and the senior brother should accompany him."
At three o'clock in the afternoon, someone in the second gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion greeted him with a sticker: "Hengwangfu has created several sets of heads and noodles for the second lady, and now the second lady will go to Shuyan Pavilion to choose a style." Although this excuse is reluctant, since it is invited by the Hengwang Mansion, no one dares to say it.
Ling'er knew that it was Mu Chenfeng's trick, and she didn't expose it, so she freshened up and went out with the people who came to pick her up. Out of the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, there was already a carriage waiting there, and Ling'er took Qingxi to the carriage. The coachman drove the car to Shuyan Pavilion first, and then Ling'er's master and servant went out through the back door and took the carriage straight to Xunyin Tower.
