Chapter 73
Only got out of the cabin this summer, Yan Shifan pushed away the maid who was originally in his arms, chin at Lu Yinu, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, she is still a little girl, but she can sit still, longer than I expected." β
"Such ignorance is a loss of tolerance from adults." Lu Yi shook his head and sighed, "I also looked at my father's face, so I was a little tolerant of her." Your Excellency, you also know that her master Yang Chengwan was her father's right-hand man before he was injured. My father misses the old love, and this time he asked me to find a famous doctor to treat him. β
There is something in these words, how could Yan Shifan not hear it, and said with a smile at the moment: "I'm not interested in this kind of little girl who hasn't grown up and doesn't understand the amorous feelings, you look at me like this, which one is not better than her...... You pick whatever you want, you don't have to meet me, I promise to let your favorite one accompany you tonight. β
Lu Yi smiled and excused himself again and again: "No, no, they are all favored by adults." β
"You don't have to see me," under Yan Shifan's gaze, the two barefoot girls leaned half next to Lu Yi's side, "The autumn eagle picture you sent is really in line with my heart, why don't you also pick two people who are willing to take them away, and add fragrance to the red sleeves every day, wouldn't it be bad." β
Lu Yi put his hand on the maid's soft waist, kneaded it gently, and looked thoughtful on his face, before he looked at Yan Shifan and said, "My lord...... It's not a secret, there is another thing that I want to help with my lord. β
"Between you and me, why bother to see each other, even if you say it."
It seemed that this matter was quite difficult for him, Lu Yi first asked the maid to pour a full cup of wine, and then said: "My lord, you know that my father asked me to come to Jiangnan to handle this case, because he wanted me to take advantage of it...... Take this to take another step upward, but now the river repair money has not been found for a long time, and the Holy Lord is already unhappy......"
He looked at Yan Shifan with an embarrassed smile on his face.
Yan Shifan didn't answer, only nodded slowly, signaling that he was listening.
Lu Yi could only continue to say: "I don't know if the adults can help the lowly position, if you say a word, maybe ......"
"A word?" Yan Shifan shrugged.
Since arriving in Yangzhou, I have found that the officials on the border of Yangzhou are not concerned about this case, there are few clues, and the manpower that can be dispatched is extremely limited. The prefect of Yangzhou is a protΓ©gΓ© of Lingzun, if the lord can help the humble post to mention a little, maybe the 100,000 taels of river repair money will soon be able to have eyebrows. Lu Yi said this with the utmost humility, and his eyes were also very sincere.
Yan Shifan stared at him, was silent for a moment, and then said with a smile: "It's easy to say, isn't it just a matter of one sentence, you and I have been friends for a long time, and the relationship is very strong, do you still need to say this." β
Lu Yi seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, his face was happy, and said: "Thank you, my lord, when I am promoted to a humble position, I will never forget the kindness of my lord...... By the way, since the autumn eagle picture is genuine, presumably other Tibetan paintings will not be faked, and the humble duty will let people send all the calligraphy and paintings to the ship tomorrow, and please reward the adults. β
"Those who know me."
Yan Shifan smiled and took the maid into his arms.
The moonlight was just right tonight, and in the midst of singing and dancing, the two drank until the fourth watch before they dispersed.
***************************************************************
"My lord, please come here."
The barefoot girl carried a small and delicate glass lantern in front of Lu Yi to guide the way. Lu Yi stepped on the wolfskin mattress and followed her down to the second floor until he stopped in front of a cabin.
The maid stretched out her hand to push open the door for him: "My lord, please rest, it has been arranged according to the master's instructions." If you need anything, you can pull the bellstring. β
Lu Yi nodded, walked into the room, and heard the maid behind him thoughtfully closing the door for him. He looked back at the deadbolt, thought for a moment, and didn't bolt it.
In this cabin, the brocade tablecloth of the round table was lit with a lamp, and in the half-light and half-darkness, you can see the carved bed with a low curtain, and there seems to be a figure inside.
"I promise to keep your favorite one with you tonight." - He still remembered what Yan Shifan said, and couldn't help frowning. The wound had just healed, and the excessive intake of alcohol made him feel unwell, and he didn't even have the interest to lift the curtain to take a look, and sat down at the table to rest tiredly.
The candle went off, and he tried to clear himself up: Which cabin did he live in this summer? Will it be next door to yourself? β¦β¦
Just as he was thinking, someone knocked on his door.
"Who?"
"My lord, can you sleep peacefully? I'll give you soup for hangover. "The people outside the door are polite.
Lu Yi sighed secretly, got up and sat down on the edge of the bed, and said while taking off his boots, "Come in." β
The maid pushed the door in, respectfully put the jade bowl on the tray on the table, retreated, and closed the door.
Lu Yi glanced at the jade bowl, didn't bother to go over to take it, took off his boots and lifted the curtain of the bed, and prepared to pretend to be drunk and lie down to rest. As soon as the curtain of the bed was lifted, he frozeβa pair of round black and white eyes were looking at him, all too familiar, but the annoyance in the eyes had not been seen for a long time, and now that he looked at it, he couldn't help but want to laugh.
"How are you?" He tilted his head to look at her, and reached out to brush aside the strands of hair that had fallen on her cheeks.
She didn't seem to move, but she didn't speak, frowning vigorously, not knowing what she was trying to do.
Lu Yi looked down at her gaze and found that although her arm couldn't move, her fingers kept pulling, so he put her hand on his palm.
"There's copper." She wrote in the palm of his hand that one end of the brass pipe was here, and the person on the other end of the brass pipe could eavesdrop on the sound of the voice. Several special cells in the penal department were equipped with brass pipes.
Lu Yi understood what she meant, but he didn't care, and he didn't even bother to find where the copper pipe was: this was Yan Shifan's territory, so naturally he couldn't escape his ears and eyes, and if he deliberately avoided it, it would make him even more suspicious.
"I know it." He wrote in the palm of her hand, "Why are you here?" β
Anger appeared in her eyes, and her fingers tickled his palm: "It should be a weak muscle, this bastard!" β
He couldn't help but laugh, moved her inside, and then Kazui lay down beside her, still resting her hand in the palm of her hand.
Through his clothes, he could still feel that his body was a little hot, and this summer asked with his fingers uneasily, "Do you have a fever?" Because of those wines? β
"It's fine." He wrote briefly.
It took a lot of effort this summer to turn his head sideways, looking at his tired face, he frowned and wrote: "Yan Shifan is a bastard!" β
With itchy palms, Lu Yi closed her eyes and rested, feeling every word she wrote, and nodded her head with a smile.
"Did he bully you?" She asked, scratching.
Lu Yi remembered the previous groveling, and then slowly shook his head.
"I don't think you look like you in front of him anymore, and I'm very aggrieved." She continued to write.
He pondered for a while, and wrote two words in the palm of her hand: "Show weakness." β
Weakness.
When the enemy is stronger than oneself and cannot defeat the enemy, it is necessary to paralyze the enemy by showing weakness, so that the enemy will take it lightly, and then wait for the opportunity to move.
seemed to be seriously considering the meaning of these two words, and after a long time, her fingers didn't move this summer, but Lu Yi scratched her palms with her fingers as if she was playful.
"Why did he put me in your bed?" She asked, scratching as she remembered this.
Lu Yi answered her truthfully: "He said that he would let my favorite one accompany me." Yan Shifan can see through it, to be honest, he is not surprised, because he is just covering it up a little. Seeing through this, at the moment, as long as the Lu Yan family does not tear their faces in face, it is not a bad thing. What's more, he never wanted to tear his face with the Yan family, and he never used to make a decision.
This truth made this summer blush, and then she felt that it might be a side effect of soft tendons, so it made people's brains easy to think cranky.
"He can't bear the girl you like, so take me to make up the numbers." It was the most plausible reason she could think of.
Lu Yi was silent, turned his head and opened his eyes to look at her, and wrote with his hand: "I didn't like it." β
Isn't that all the same, they are all used to make up the numbers, and this summer was silent, and then I heard my stomach rumbling a few times, and looked at Lu Yi embarrassedly.
"Hungry?" He asked.
This summer nodded, she can't be blamed for this, Yan Shifan is weird on this boat, she has always been on guard, she hasn't eaten anything at all, and now it's past the fourth watch, so she is naturally hungry.
"I'll ask them to bring some food." Lu Yi wanted to get up, but was dragged by this summer.
She was nervous, and her fingers were a little heavy: "They're going to mix things with food." β
Lu Yi replied with his hand: "I have eaten all the soft tendons, what are you afraid of." With a hand, he sat up and pulled the bell rope on the bedpost.
"What do you want to eat?" He asked.
With Lu Yi beside him, his courage has also gained a little weight this summer, and his eyes are shining: "You can eat anything?" β
Lu Yi nodded, with encouragement in his eyes.
"I want to eat...... Face! Beef noodles! She was excited.
At this time, the maid knocked on the door and came in, Lu Yi ordered a bowl of beef noodles, the maid answered, and after a while, she came in with a bowl of hot beef noodles and put it on the table.
This summer praised: "It seems that the stove has been stewed with beef soup for later use, which is really convenient." After admiring it, she realized that there was a problem, she took soft tendons, she couldn't use any strength on her body, she couldn't even lift her arms, how could she eat noodles.
She was worried, Lu Yi had already helped her to sit up, took the noodle bowl, wrapped the noodles with chopsticks, blew the hot air, and then said, "Open your mouth!" What are you doing? β
"......" Although there is no better way to do it at the moment, but with Lu Yi's status, how can he not let him feed him, this summer endured the hunger in his belly and said, "It's better to put it first, and then eat when I can move." β
"Hurry up, my hands are sore." His tone was unmistakable.
At this time, this summer is really regretful, I knew that I wanted a jujube mud cake or osmanthus cake, and no matter how bad it was, I could have a hard bun, how could I just ask for a bowl of noodles, which made me so embarrassed.
"Open your mouth!" He stared at her.
I had to open my mouth this summer.
"How does it taste?" He asked.
She nodded: "It's delicious." β
There are still some things that she didn't say: when she grew up, she didn't even feed her mother anymore, and now that Lu Yi is feeding her like this, she feels a little restrained, and she feels that she is back to her childhood, and her heart is warm in the depths of her heart.
Lu Yi fed it slowly, and ate it slowly this summer, and before he knew it, a bowl of fragrant beef noodles had been eaten to the bottom.
"The duration of the soft tendons will not last long, you can sleep and wake up, and the effect of the medicine will probably fade."
He still let her lie down, and he lay down on her side as before, writing in the palm of her hand.
"In a place like this...... "I was still lying together like this," but after a moment's hesitation, he didn't say, "How can I sleep." β
Lu Yi didn't say anything, and slowly wrapped her hand in his palm.
Probably because of the fever, his hands were unusually warm, and this summer he thought that after returning to the city tomorrow, he would remember to grab the medicine according to Mrs. Shen's prescription and give him a drink.
Then she yawned wearily, and then, no more, she fell asleep.
Listening to the sound of steady and even breathing on his side, Lu Yi turned sideways and looked at her. It wasn't all disgusting things on this boat, on that man's territory, he thought.
The author has something to say: If you have friends who have been to Lugu Lake in Yunnan, you should know what it means to scratch and itch in the palm of the girl's house~~~Heyhehe~~~
