Chapter Ninety-Seven: Wan'er's Sister
Zhao Qingnan took Wan'er and looked at Xiao Junyi, who was serious, and didn't move.
Others don't know her identity, but Xiao Junyi knows, he is going upstairs, can he go to sleep with Shen Liang by himself.
Even if she can do it herself, Wan'er can't do it.
Seeing that Zhao Qingnan didn't move, Xiao Junyi turned his head and raised his eyebrows slightly: "What, do you want me to live in the lower room downstairs?" ”
After speaking, he took the young master's shelf and went upstairs.
Xiao Er didn't dare to offend when he saw this scene, so he only shouted with a smiling face: "Why don't you two also go upstairs?" ”
As soon as the words fell, I heard a woman's voice, slightly hoarse: "Wan'er? ”
Hearing this, Zhao Qingnan and Wan'er turned around.
I saw a woman wearing a long black dress, with a black veil covering her face, and only a pair of eyes exposed from top to bottom.
It's nice to look at, but it's a little scary to look at.
In ancient times, only widows wore it like this.
Didn't you hear Wan'er say that her sister lost her husband?
I was puzzled, so I saw Wan'er shouting my sister, so I ran directly towards her, and Zhao Qingnan couldn't stop her.
Because of the identity of a woman dressed as a man, it is not easy to get too close, so she stood two meters away, looked at Wan'er's enthusiastic appearance, and asked: "Are you Wan'er's sister?" ”
Hearing this, Wan'er took the woman's hand: "Sister, this is Lord Zhao, the county magistrate of Luzhou Mansion, it was Lord Zhao who took me in in Luzhou at the beginning, but I didn't expect to meet me again outside Kangcheng, and it was the Lord who brought me here." ”
Hearing this, the woman in black hurriedly stepped forward, and was very grateful to salute, and then spoke: "It turned out to be Lord Zhao, and the little woman Lu Qiao has seen Lord Zhao." These days, thanks to Lord Zhao taking care of Wan'er, the adult's great kindness and the little woman are grateful. ”
Zhao Qingnan waved his hand, signaling that Lu Qiao didn't have to be polite.
It was also a coincidence that she met Wan'er at the beginning, but now that Lu Qiao said this, she was a little embarrassed.
Thinking about Wan'er saying that she was going to Beijing to join her relatives, she just wanted to ask a few words, but she saw Lu Qiao coughing.
Wan'er was immediately very concerned: "My sister is sick?" ”
Seeing that Lu Qiao nodded, he quickly turned around and said sorry to Zhao Qingnan: "My lord, Sister Ah is sick, I will help Sister Ah go back to the room to rest first." ”
Zhao Qingnan nodded when he heard this, watched Wan'er and Lu Qiao turn around and enter the room on the first floor near the north staircase, and then followed Xiao Er upstairs.
Xiao Junyi stood on the stairs, saw Zhao Qingnan coming up, and asked, "How do you look?" ”
Hearing this, Zhao Qingnan frowned, but did not speak, and motioned for Xiao Junyi to go back to the room.
After entering the house and closing the door, he sat on the stool and said with a puzzled face: "I think it's very strange, she calls herself Lu Qiao, and this dress should be a widowed woman, but I haven't heard Wan'er mention this matter before." And looking at the dress on her body, it is a very ordinary coarse linen clothes, which does not look like a rich family.
But when she saluted me just now, she looked no worse than those official ladies in Luzhou City, and if it was an ordinary person, the etiquette should not be so thorough. ”
As he spoke, he took the tea handed over by Xiao Junyi, and he didn't bother to drink it, but just sniffed it under his nose: "And the smell of incense powder on her body is very strong, in addition to the smell of incense powder, I vaguely smell an indescribable smell." It was too far away at the time, so I didn't smell it clearly, and I thought it was weird anyway. ”
Xiao Junyi nodded when he heard this, although he was watching it on the stairs.
However, Zhao Qingnan said that he was also skeptical.
Especially when Lu Qiao saw the courtesy, it was the standard etiquette practiced by those rich ladies in the capital.
Because of the feet of the Son of Heaven, the people in Beijing attach great importance to etiquette.
If there are daughters in this family, they all think of a way to invite their grandmothers to come in and teach etiquette, for fear of losing face in the future.
And Luzhou is far away from the capital, even if it is a rich and noble family, it is not as good as the teaching of ordinary people in Beijing to their daughters.
This Lu Qiao is not like a girl from an ordinary family near Luzhou.
Seeing Zhao Qingnan talking about it at this moment, Xiao Junyi couldn't help frowning deeper: "Do you doubt her identity?" ”
Zhao Qingnan took a sip of tea: "When we first saw Wan'er in Yongguang Temple, we only thought that she was an orphan, and we didn't ask much, but now I think about it, Wan'er also has a lot of suspicions, when you were injured and poisoned, your brother had murderous intentions towards me, and she also saw it." The second is that on the day of Fashan's execution, even the Yang family didn't dare to look at it, but she followed. ”
"So you suspect Wan'er?"
Hearing this, Zhao Qingnan shook his head: "It's not a suspicion, but I feel a little strange." ”
Just thinking about it, I saw Xiao Junyi and lay down on the bed.
Suddenly he didn't care about anything else, stood up and pointed at Xiao Junyi: "Slow, what are you going to do?" ”
Hearing this, Xiao Junyi glanced at the bed, and looked very uncertain: "Lie down, I've been in the carriage for a day, and I'm tired to death." ”
Lying directly on the bed as he spoke.
Zhao Qingnan, who was suddenly angry, grabbed him and dragged him out: "Xiao Junyi, you lie here, where do I sleep!" ”
Hearing this, Xiao Junyi patted the empty space beside him, and snickered: "This bed is so wide, don't worry that it won't be crowded." ”
Zhao Qingnan, who was angry, couldn't help but kick him: "Xiao Junyi, you are really shameless." ”
"Compared with adults, it's average, when you asked me to pay for the silver in the past, I didn't see you see you like this, why are you seeing outside today."
As he spoke, he patted the calf that was kicked by Zhao Qingnan, looking like he was dead: "Besides, everyone knows our relationship, adults don't have to be afraid, at most I will be responsible for you in the future, or you will be responsible for me." ”
As he spoke, he lay on the bed sideways and motioned for Zhao Qingnan to lie down together.
The angry Zhao Qingnan sat on the stool.
I heard a knock on the door outside.
"My lord, would you like to go down and get something to eat?"
Hearing that it was Shen Liang at the door, Zhao Qingnan stood up and opened the door.
After a day's journey, he chewed two cakes, and Zhao Qingnan was really hungry.
You must know that in this place, it is not as modern as modern, and there is a snack or something.
It's not easy to eat hot food on the road here, and most of them eat two bites of baked cakes alive in the carriage.
Immediately nodded: "Let's go." ”
After speaking, he didn't care about Xiao Junyi, and followed Shen Liang downstairs directly.
Because they arrived late, it was already dinner time, and many of the guests living in this inn also went downstairs to eat.
Zhao Qingnan went down and saw that there were already four people seated.
At one of the tables was a fierce dart master who had just stood at the top of the stairs.
He sat with four people, looking at the dress as a dart game.
There was a single person sitting at a table next to them, who was supposed to be the head of the dart board, and several dart masters were respectful to him.
Seeing Zhao Qingnan and Xiao Junyi coming down, they glanced over here, which made Zhao Qingnan feel very cold.
This man doesn't look like a good stubble.
has a black beard on his face, and his eyes are even more fierce.
And at the table next to him, there was a man in his thirties, with a kind face, wearing an ordinary Tsing Yi short fight, and he was quite clean, and when he saw Shen Liang, he quickly stood up: "Shen Bantou? ”
