Chapter 45: Rescue
Duanmu Rong has never heard of anyone living this kind of life in Xuanhe Capital, even the people in her house live a life with surplus food every year, after listening to what the child said, and then looking at his situation, I feel that the child should not be deceiving.
"Sister, why don't we go and see if his family is really living so miserably, if he is lying, it's not too late for us to punish him."
Su Wanyan had already had pity, if he didn't help this child, he would probably steal it, and in the end he was injured and killed, and his sister could only wait for death.
"Okay, let's go."
At this time, Lingxiu also found her, Su Wanyan accompanied Duanmu Rong to get into the carriage, and asked Lingxiu to take care of the child and sit on the wheel, and everyone else was sent back to the house.
The carriage traveled for three quarters of an hour before it arrived at the place, and Su Wanyan took Duanmu Rong out of the car, Duanmu Rong glanced at the scene in front of her and was very shocked.
This is the slum area of the capital, most people have only one yard, the good ones have two rooms, and the bad ones are only the shacks that the wind and rain can't withstand.
The child has two rooms in the house, which should have been left by his father and mother when he left, but the yard was overgrown with wild grass, and the house was surrounded by four walls, and there was not even a decent piece of furniture.
On the only broken bed in the house, there was a dirty mattress, and on the bed lay a dying little girl, the little girl was also very dirty, her hair was unkempt, her face could not see her original skin color, and the quilt on her body was also tattered.
They had already asked the child's name to be Xiaofu and his sister's name to be Dou Miao.
As soon as Xiaofu entered the door, he threw himself down on the side of the bed and shouted Dou Miao, afraid that his sister would die, Dou Miao heard his brother's voice, opened his eyes, and when he found Su Wanyan and Duanmu Rong, he asked Xiaofu: "Brother, am I already dead, how can I see the fairy?" ”
"No, you're not dead, they're all nobles I met on the street, and they're here to see you." Xiaofu said with tears in his eyes.
Dou Miao nodded, closed her eyes and didn't speak again, she looked very painful, as if it was difficult to breathe, her face showed an abnormal flush, and her body kept shaking, Su Wanyan reached out and touched her forehead, and found that she was burning badly.
Immediately said to Lingxiu: "You go and rent a carriage." The little girl will not be able to take medicine anymore, and she will have to be sent to the hospital immediately. ”
Duanmu Rong took over: "What do you do with renting a carriage, isn't it ready-made?" ”
"But ......" Su Wanyan glanced at the little girl lying on the bed so dirty, and stopped talking.
Lingxiu immediately took off her coat, "Just wrap it in the clothes of the servant." ”
Everyone acted without delay, Lingxiu rushed forward to hold Dou Miao to his clothes and put it, and then walked out as soon as he wrapped it, Su Wanyan beckoned Duanmu Rong and Xiaofu to follow behind.
got into the carriage and walked all the way to Su Wanyan's Rejuvenation Hall, handed over the bean seedlings to the doctor for diagnosis and treatment, immediately grabbed the medicine and decocted the medicine, and gave the bean seedlings to drink the medicine as quickly as possible.
Su Wanyan explained to the shopkeeper to leave Xiaodoumiao in the pharmacy for diagnosis and treatment, and Xiaofu also left a helper to let the guys take care of it, and then left the pharmacy with Lingxiu and Duanmu Rong.
Back in the carriage, Duanmu Rong was in a low mood, and said to Su Wanyan quietly: "I didn't know that there was such a poor place in the capital. ”
"The county lord is raised in the deep boudoir, so naturally it is impossible to know." Su Wanyan said with a smile when she saw that she was shaken.
"I originally thought that in such a prosperous place in the capital, every family should have a livelihood, always be fed and clothed, and I didn't want them to live so miserably."
Su Wanyan consciously experienced a lot, so she told her her opinion.
"The world is like this, it's not as good as imagined, like how can the Xiaofu family live a good life without their parents, and some people just have bad circumstances, their brains are not alive, or they are lazy to eat, and then there are poor people below who are oppressed by the dignitaries and nobles above, and they can't get up no matter how diligent they are."
The county lord looked at her with admiration, "Sister, you know so much. ”
Su Wanyan said with a smile: "This is just my immature opinion, let the county lord laugh." ”
When Duanmu Rong returned to the mansion, the eldest princess had been waiting at the door for a long time, and she was very worried.
Seeing her get out of the carriage, he hurriedly caught up and grabbed her arm, looked left and right to check, "Good girl, you can make your mother worry about death, how can you send Fushun and them back." ”
"Mother, don't worry. I'm with Sister Wanyan, and I'll be fine. Duanmu Rong smiled pleasantly.
The mother and daughter walked inside hand in hand, and Duanmu Rong told the eldest princess about what she had seen and experienced today.
"Mother, my daughter never knew that there was such a place in the capital, the people were living too hard, if she hadn't met us, that little bean seedling would have died of illness."
Sister Wanyan didn't think they were dirty at all, and placed them in her own pharmacy. Sister Wanyan can do anything, knows how to heal, can cook, and has opened such a big medical hall, she also has a good personality, unlike those noble girls who only know how to compare family backgrounds and dress up to tell me why those poor people don't have a good life, she said......"
Duanmu Rong told the eldest princess what Su Wanyan said as it was, and the eldest princess listened with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and listened to her one by one, so she asked her: "Do you like the third girl of the Su family very much?" ”
"Yes, mother, she told her daughter that as long as she spends time studying more, she can learn a lot, and her daughter will follow her example in the future, read more, go out more to see the world, and she will definitely become transparent."
The eldest princess nodded, "Well, we Rong Rong are sensible." ”
"That's natural, since I met Sister Wanyan, my daughter feels that she has changed a lot."
The eldest princess nodded, exposing her and said, "You didn't like her some time ago. ”
Duanmu Rong said a little guiltily: "That's because my daughter is narrow-minded, because Miss Su's affairs are prejudiced against her, and now my daughter completely understands that Sister Wanyan and Miss Su are completely different people." ”
The next day, Su Wanyan received a handwritten letter written by the eldest princess at home, asking her to meet her at Yuelai Restaurant, she knew that it must be for Duanmu Rong, she was calm in her heart, she didn't feel that there was anything to offend or collide with Duanmu Rong, so she went to see the eldest princess generously.
As soon as I entered the private room, I saw the eldest princess sitting on the seat, with no expression on her face, and her dress was also neat, her clothes were gorgeous and complicated, with a heavy and shining golden phoenix on her head, her eyebrows were sharp, her mouth was smeared with red cream, and her whole body exuded the majesty of the superior.
To be honest, Su Wanyan was indeed a little nervous in her heart, because this was the first time that she was close to the top of the royal authority after the empress.
Su Wanyan can still grasp what the queen thinks, but the power of the eldest princess can go deep into the harem and cover the people, so she is a more terrifying character.
And since she is dressed up so meticulously, she must attach great importance to this appointment, so she is a little apprehensive.
"Here we are." The eldest princess lifted her eyelids, glanced at her, looked at her dress, and saw that she was wearing a water blue shirt, a long skirt embroidered with dark blue flowers, and a crimson shawl, with high-quality clothing and exquisite embroidery, looking stable and beautiful, and I was a little satisfied with her in my heart.
"Courtiers meet the eldest princess." Su Wanyan was deeply blessed.
The eldest princess let out a long tone of "um", and pointed to the tea cup in front of her on the table, "Help the palace pour tea." ”
"Yes." Su Wanyan knew that she was taking the school herself, so she was more cautious and cautious.
After pouring the tea, the eldest princess took a sip and said to her: "I heard that you have opened shops all over the capital, and it is said that you are very capable and smart?" ”
Su Wanyan was afraid that she would know that she was the master of the Surprise Speech Hall, but she made up her mind not to admit it, lowered her head and said, "Back to the eldest princess, the courtiers take care of some shops in the general's mansion and open a medical hall by themselves, and other courtiers haven't dabbled in it yet." ”
The eldest princess only tested her for being humble and honest, and when she saw that she answered in an orderly manner, she said "um" again.
Seeing that she didn't ask anything more, he was relieved to know that she shouldn't know her hidden identity.
"Where did you go with the county lord that day, and how did she go back to the mansion?"
Su Wanyan thought that the eldest princess was blaming herself for not taking the county lord to those pickled places, so she hurriedly told her what happened yesterday more carefully.
"The county lord is kind-hearted and willing to observe the people's suffering, it should be the eldest princess who teaches well, and the courtiers especially appreciate her." She knows a truth, she doesn't wear anything but wears it, and if she says something nice, people can't embarrass her too much.
The eldest princess really had a smile on her face, and pointed to the seat opposite for Su Wanyan to sit down.
Su Wanyan thanked her before sitting, and took the initiative to pour her tea.
"The county lord always said in front of the palace that you are good or that, I just came to see you today, I want to see you in person, don't be surprised by the harshness just now."
Su Wanyan didn't expect the eldest princess to change her attitude so quickly, but she still didn't dare to be careless, and said respectfully: "The county lord is pure and kind, and he looks down on the courtiers a few points, but the courtiers don't dare to show off at all, and when the county lord is older and has learned a lot, he definitely doesn't think the courtiers are so great." ”
The eldest princess smiled, "No matter what, it's rare that the county lord has seen his own flaws after understanding you, and wants to emulate you and learn from you, which makes this palace very pleased." ”
Su Wanyan showed a humble and frightened look, "The courtiers are still far away, the county lord values the courtiers so much, the courtiers really dare not be them." ”
The eldest princess didn't take her too much care to heart, and continued: "She is getting older, and she will go out and walk more in the future, and I hope you can take more care of her when the time comes, so that she will not be deceived and hurt outside." ”
Su Wanyan hurriedly responded: "Yes, the courtiers remembered." ”
After returning home, the eldest princess told Duanmu Rong that she went to see Su Wanyan today, Duanmu Rong was a little worried, afraid that the eldest princess would not want to associate with Su Wanyan herself, but she didn't expect the eldest princess to say: "After my mother's inspection, I understand her character, and my mother can rest assured that you can make friends with her." ”
"Really?"
This can be regarded as a clear road, and if you want to go out to see Su Wanyan in the future, you can tell your mother, if it weren't for her own demeanor, Duanmu Rong almost jumped up with joy.
It is said that after Su Wanyan and Jiang Duyan united, she told Jiang Duyan many ways to hold a man's mind, first of all, he wanted to capture the old man, and he couldn't go out to meet the prince as soon as he was invited, so that the prince would get tired easily, men generally like the feeling of conquest, especially the prince, who is used to seeing all kinds of beauties, and he has too many arms to give him away so that he doesn't care about women at all.
Therefore, Jiang Duyan recently found an excuse to reduce the number of times she saw the prince, the prince was confused by her beauty, and he felt uncomfortable when he couldn't see her all day, so he took the initiative to approach her, took her more seriously, and often took her out for a walk, which made her more proud.
Just in the spring, the weather is warm, everything is recovering, flowers are blooming everywhere, the ladies of the capital have a tradition, to hold a spring banquet by the capital Lishui, in addition to the dinner, naturally indispensable poetry and painting, take out their own production of rouge gouache and embroidery and other things for everyone to appreciate.
On this day, almost all the nobles went, and Jiang Duyan also appeared by Lishui in a colorful dress, and the nobles whispered about her, her father was a little lieutenant and was not qualified to participate in the spring banquet at all.
The most talked about in it is naturally Su Yuxian, Jiang Duyan's recent rumors about being favored by the prince have already reached her ears, and she is so jealous in her heart.
Jiang Duyan took the maid to frolic by the water, folded the paper boat and put it into the water, laughed in the flowers and greenery, and chased butterflies, she could play with her maid in one place.
The ladies are all teenagers, and it is the time to be lively and noisy, but most of them are locked up at home on weekdays and taught to have the dignified appearance of everyone's ladies, and laughing and playing at will is frivolous.
So most people actually envy Jiang Duyan for being able to play unrestrained like this, but because they can't, they feel that others are polluting their eyes like this.
