Chapter 169: Thorough Utilization
"Yes." Su Huo looked at Wen Qingzhu very seriously.
Seeing his expression, Wen Qingzhu didn't say anything when he got to his mouth.
The two of them just looked at each other for a long time.
In the end, Wen Qingzhu closed his eyes and agreed: "Okay, I'll go with you to have a look." ”
As the waiter of the Criminal Department, Su Huo, avoiding everyone's attention is really easy to catch.
Wen Qingzhu took Mi Li, rode a horse, and followed him to the outskirts of the capital.
Passing through village after village, they came to a mountain pass.
Wen Qingzhu looked far away, this place looked desolate, and there was no one living at all.
But Suho stopped at the end of the race.
He glanced around, and finally took out a very special silver bell, held it up and shook it.
Jingle Bell –
Jingle Bell –
After two sounds, Wen Qingzhu saw a piece of turf moving on the hillside.
When I looked closely, a pair of eyes peeked out of it.
The man looked wary.
He was the first to notice Wen Qingzhu and stared at her for a long time.
When his gaze moved to Su Huo's body, the turf was immediately lifted.
Out of the hole in the hillside crawled a young man in ragged clothes and hair like a chicken's nest.
As he ran over to this side, he beckoned to Su Huo excitedly: "Master Su! It's me! Ah Niu! ”
Su Huo turned over and dismounted, and walked quickly to meet him.
The young man named Ah Niu threw himself into Su Huo's arms.
Su Huo didn't mind hugging him at all.
"You're not taking a shower again!" Su Huo's serious face showed a rare warm smile.
At this moment, Wen Qingzhu seemed to see the spring of spring blossoms.
She had seen Su Huo many times, but she had never seen Su Huo smile.
But now he smiled.
Wen Qingzhu dismounted and led the horse behind Su Huo and the young man.
The young man immediately became vigilant, and his eyes were like a leopard sneaking in the night, staring at Wen Qingzhu unkindly.
Su Huo stepped aside and introduced the young man: "This is Miss Wen, I asked her to come over to treat Xin Chang." ”
"I believe in Master Su." The young man looked back at Su Huo and said.
Wen Qingzhu was a little incredulous, and raised his eyes again.
On the hillside, there are many holes in the ground.
Some show half of their heads, others show only a pair of eyes.
But what is very uniform is that everyone looks at Wen Qingzhu.
There are curious, there are suspicious, and there are vigilant......
Su Huo asked the young man to lead the horse, but he turned to Wen Qingzhu and said, "Miss Wen, come in with me and have a look." ”
"Okay." Wen Qingzhu handed the reins to the young man who walked over.
When the boy reached out, she saw his frostbitten chapped hands.
New wounds and old wounds were densely packed all over his hands.
The dark yellow pus, the light red blood blisters, and the newly grown pink tender flesh make it look heart-wrenching.
Wen Qingzhu's heart sank, but she didn't ask much.
followed Su Huo into the mountain col.
In less than a quarter of an hour, they came to a steep mountain wall.
In early spring, the mountain walls are covered with turquoise moss.
Su Huo walked directly forward and knocked in the middle of the mountain wall.
After a while, an old voice came from inside the mountain wall.
"Who?"
"Grandpa Man, it's me, Su Huo." Su Huo's tone was very respectful.
Soon, a stone door opened on the mountain wall.
Out of it came an old man with gray hair, his clothes were better than the Ah Niu just now.
But Wen Qingzhu could still see that the clothes on his body were very old, and the cotton wool was also very thin.
"Xiaohuo, have you found a doctor?" The old man named Grandpa Man squinted his eyes and looked at Su Huo in front of him.
Wen Qingzhu looked at him carefully, this old man's eyes should be about to go blind.
"Well, it's Miss Wen." Su Huo stepped aside and introduced Wen Qingzhu to the old man.
Grandpa Man nodded, didn't ask anything, but walked in.
"Come on, show Chang'er as soon as possible, he is about to lose his hold."
Su Huo glanced back at Wen Qingzhu and walked in first.
Wen Qingzhu followed.
After entering the mountain wall, the stone gate closes automatically.
In an instant, there was darkness in front of me.
Wen Qingzhu got used to it for a while, and then he saw that the stone wall was inlaid with some fluorescent stones, which corresponded to the inside leading to the front.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, they came to a cave.
When the wooden door was opened, a warm yellow candle light came from inside.
Su Huo led Wen Qingzhu in.
Only then did she realize that there was a piercing hole on the right hand side, about the size of an inch and three feet deep, and there was a faint sound of falling water.
A stone slab was placed diagonally in front of the entrance of the cave, allowing the constant breeze to blow in and turn in one direction.
Wen Qingzhu turned his head to look at the stone bed in front of him.
There was a person lying on it, his face had dried up, very similar to Wei Zheng in the past. bar
Wen Qingzhu didn't need to look closely, he knew that the person in front of him was Xin Chang, and he was dying.
Su Huo was in front of the bed, looked at Wen Qingzhu sideways, and arched his hand: "Trouble Miss Wen." ”
Wen Qingzhu stood still, twisted his eyebrows and asked, "What's going on here?" ”
Su Huo was about to speak, when Grandpa Man behind him spoke: "Miss Wen, your grandfather is Imperial Physician Lu." ”
Wen Qingzhu immediately turned around and stared at the old man in front of him tightly, his mood was very excited, but his tone was very calm: "Grandpa Man knows about his grandfather? Do you know him? ”
"In fact, we can have such a place to stay, and Imperial Doctor Lu has actually helped a lot."
The dim light shrouded his wrinkled face, and Grandpa Man seemed to fall into memory.
Wen Qingzhu didn't ask much, just waited quietly.
After a long time, Grandpa Man seemed to come back to his senses, and he sighed: "I shouldn't have told you, but Chang'er can't die now, so I can only break my original promise." ”
Wen Qingzhu was a little nervous in his heart, trying to calm down his ups and downs.
I only heard Grandpa Man say: "Before the current emperor ascended the throne, he had cleaned a group of people from the former prince and King Wu, whether they were willing to surrender or not, whether they were innocent or not, and in the end they were all punished by the nine clans, the bloody case twenty years ago has been dusted, and few people know it, but your grandfather is one of them, and there was a group of people who couldn't stand it back then, and saved twenty-one children with death row prisoners, and Xin Chang was the youngest child back then." ”
Wen Qingzhu was born in Shunde, and he was not very clear about what happened before Emperor Shunde.
In fact, she didn't want to understand, but Grandpa Man's next sentence made her change her mind.
"Miss Wen, Xin Chang saved Lu Zhi from King Shou back then."
Wen Qingzhu raised his head abruptly and looked at the old man in front of him in disbelief.
Lu Zhi is her mother's maiden name, and very few people know this name.
At this point, Wen Qingzhu was basically sure that what the grandfather in front of him said was true.
The old man stopped talking, and only walked up to Xin Chang, trying to open his eyes to see Xin Chang's face clearly.
But his eyesight was so bad that he could barely see clearly.
After being silent for a long time, Wen Qingzhu walked over: "I can help him." ”
……
After returning to the Wen Mansion, Wen Qingzhu was uneasy.
In the evening, Songyan came over and asked Wen Qingzhu to go to Fushoutang.
Walking on the road, Songyan quietly told Wen Qingzhu: "Miss Six and Miss Eleven have passed, Miss Eleven and the old lady had a dispute and were punished to kneel in the warm pavilion." ”
"Thank you Sister Songyan for reminding me." Wen Qingzhu thanked him in a low voice.
Knowing that Songyan was reminding her not to disobey the Liu family.
Since that Fushoutang dinner, Liu seems to be a different person.
In the past, she still had a little love for the young lady in the big room and the fourth room, but now she only has to use it thoroughly.
When he arrived at Fushoutang, Wen Qingzhu politely greeted An.
Wen Qingfang sat on the right side and did not speak.
Liu raised his hand and asked her to sit down on the lower head on the left.
After drinking a cup of tea, Liu Shi said indifferently: "How is the preparation of Xiao Si?" ”
"Aunt Wu said that she was almost ready." Wen Qingzhu replied in a low voice.
Liu Shi lifted his eyelids: "Then tomorrow you bring Aunt Wu's mother and daughter over, there are some things I need to explain, and the Yan family is already urging them." ”
Wen Qingzhu's heart froze, why was the Yan family in such a hurry to get married.
She later asked Grandma Sun that the only son of the Yan family was not very old, and it seemed that he was only sixteen years old.
Wen Qinglan turned fifteen this year, and it was indeed just right to get married.
But the Yan family is like this, so they can't help but be too anxious.
"Yes." Although Wen Qingzhu had doubts in her heart, she still responded.
After all, it doesn't have much to do with her, and she can't care about it.
After sitting for a while, a lady dressed in a rather delicate costume came and walked in under the guidance of the maid.
"The concubine has seen Mrs. Wen." The lady bowed politely.
Old Madam Wen nodded kindly with a smile: "Mrs. Yan, sit down, this is Miss Xiaoqi in the third room, if you have any questions, just ask her." ”
That Mrs. Yan swept over, and the moment she saw Wen Qingzhu, her eyes were shocked.
However, this Mrs. Yan quickly reined in her emotions and walked over.
After sitting down beside Wen Qingzhu, he talked to her very warmly: "I have long heard that Miss Wen Qi is both talented and beautiful, and when I see it today, it is really extraordinary, no wonder the crown princess likes you so much." “
"Mrs. Yan is overrated." Wen Qingzhu said modestly.
This Mrs. Yan looked at her eagerly, as if she was looking at her daughter-in-law, which made Wen Qingzhu a little unhappy.
"The Wen family can have such a concubine in the third room, I heard that the fourth lady was also raised in front of the third lady, so it must be not bad." Mrs. Yan's words of praise are simply beyond words.
Wen Qingzhu looked at the Liu family in the main position from the corner of his eye.
I found that although she was using tea, her eyes were always staring at this side.
Wen Qinglan was raised by Aunt Wu since she was a child.
But this Mrs. Yan said that Wen Qinglan grew up in front of her, and I think it should be Liu's words.
Wen Qingzhu naturally didn't refute his grandmother's face, and echoed with a smile: "Well, the fourth sister is also very good in character and talent. ”
"Really?" Mrs. Yan glanced at the room, looked at Wen Qingfang over there, and asked with a smile, "Is that the fourth young lady?" ”
Wen Qingzhu explained: "She is the sixth sister, and the fourth sister is still embroidering dowry in the yard." ”
Mrs. Yan was a little disappointed, she came here today to see in person.
However, she still showed a smile on her face: "So that's the case, I heard that Miss Six is also going to get married, which family's son is it?" ”
Wen Qingzhu smiled: "It's the second son of the Chi family of the Ministry of Rites." ”
Mrs. Yan's eyes flashed, and then she smiled: "It turns out that he is the second son of the Chi family, he is also a talent, and the sixth miss is blessed." ”
Wen Qingzhu smiled and didn't speak, Liu's criteria for choosing her grandson-in-law, she was still very clear.
The second son of the Chi family also sounds good, and he is definitely not a good candidate.
Mrs. Yan wanted to see Wen Qinglan, but she couldn't say in front of the Liu family that she wanted to see Wen Qinglan.
After thinking about it, Mrs. Yan got up and said to Liu: "It's a little boring to sit in this room, can the concubine take Miss Seven out for a stroll and talk while walking?" ”
"Absolutely." Liu nodded with a smile, and ordered sideways, "Mama Du, you take Mrs. Yan and Miss Seven to go around." ”
Mrs. Yan bit her lip, but she still thanked her.
Mama Du led them out and met a richly dressed lady at the gate of Fushoutang.
The person who led her over was still the big girl Feiyan next to Liu.
