Chapter 23 The fate of the world is bumpy
"If the young grandmother believes me, she will give me this broken jade. Renfu tried his best to get it back to Zhao. Ye Renfu stretched out his right hand, and his eyes exuded a firmness.
Su Wan handed it to Ye Renfu along with the handkerchief, "Su Wan can trust Brother Ye." β
Ye Renfu looked at the girl's bright eyes, smiled slightly, closed his palms, and held the jade pendant together with the handkerchief, "Young grandma, young master is now in Buzhuang." Why don't you go back with me, and then go back with the young master. β
Su Wan paused slightly and shook her head, "No, seeing that Ah Xi has a lot of injuries, I'll take her home to deal with it first." As for Jing Sheng," Su Wan paused slightly, "Let's go home with Brother Ye." β
Jing Sheng was in Buzhuang, but only Brother Ye came alone, presumably, he didn't want to have anything to do with her anymore. After all, the letter of harmony has already been written, and it only takes effect by choosing a date to go to the mayor of the town and stamp it. At that time, she Yan Suwan was no longer Ye Jingsheng's wife, even if it was only in name.
Ye Renfu's eyelids raised slightly, and he looked at Su Wan, "It's okay." Pillar, you send the young grandmother and Ah Xi back. β
"Yes." The little guy known as the pillar hurriedly stepped forward to answer.
Su Wan nodded slightly, and then accompanied by the little maid, she turned around and walked in the direction of the Ye family with Ah Xi in her arms. After turning a corner, he disappeared.
"Brother Ye, Brother Ye." A hurried male voice sounded behind him. Ye Renfu turned around, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Ye Jingsheng running quickly.
"Brother Ye, Brother Ye, I listened, guys, you say, Su Wan, there is danger, this, what's going on? What about Su, Suwan? Ye Jingsheng put his right hand on Ye Renfu's shoulder, panting and not being able to speak. glanced around, but did not see the figure of the little girl.
Ye Renfu glanced at the hand on his shoulder, and his gaze shifted to Ye Jingsheng's sweaty face, "Young Grandma is fine, I sent someone to send her back." But you, why did you sleep so heavily with a cup of tea, and only come now? Ye Renfu remembered that after he heard the news, he asked the guy to go to the guest room to wake up Ye Jingsheng, but he didn't expect that he would only arrive now.
"Didn't I sleep well last night?" Ye Jingsheng smiled stupidly, the qi in his chest was straightened out, and he said a lot more neatly.
Ye Renfu raised his eyebrows slightly, "Newlywed Yan'er, you should also pay attention to your body." β
Ye Jingsheng choked, and he didn't breathe for a long time. He's just a little insomnia because of last night's departure from the book, how can he become such an impure word that he doesn't pay attention to his body.
"Then is the young master going home now, or will he go home with me after I go to the Splendid Cloth Village to deal with things?" Ye Renfu asked lightly.
Ye Jingsheng smoothed out, "Of course I'll go back with you, our old story hasn't been finished yet." β
"Hmm." Ye Renfu raised his sword eyebrows slightly, answered, and took the lead. It's okay to talk about the past, just don't fall asleep.
When Su Wan picked up the medicine box from the high wooden shelf, she looked at the tightly closed side door, "Ah Xi, when you need my help, you can say it." β
Soon, a crisp response came from the side door, "No, no, young grandma, Ah Xi can do it herself." Then there was a splash.
Su Wan shook her head with a light smile, walked to the table, and took out the medicinal wine from the medicine box. This Ah Xi is really not ordinary shy, I thought about helping her wash it, but I didn't expect to be softly pushed out. Su Wan was thinking about it when she heard the side door behind her squeak open. When I turned my head, I saw a pink female doll standing at the door wearing a pink dress. Su Wan was slightly flustered, "How old are you?" β
The previous Ah Xi was unkempt, his face was dirty, and he couldn't see his facial features clearly, let alone his age. Now that I have taken a bath, I can really see Ah Xi's face clearly. The skin is fair, maybe because he has just taken a shower, his cheeks are still puffy, his wet hair is hanging down his shoulders, and a pair of small black eyes are flickering, which is very cute.
"Ten, fourteen." Ah Xi pinched the corners of her clothes nervously, and her eyes looked a little shy and a little flustered.
"Fourteen?" Su Wan muttered softly, but she didn't know that her tone at this moment was like Ye Jingsheng asking her on the wedding night. "Ahi, come here." Su Wan beckoned to her.
Ah Xi walked over with a twist, his hands tightly gripping the corners of his clothes. Su Wan sensed Ah Xi's nervousness, reached out and pulled her over and sat on the stool. A pair of white arms, but there were many bright red scars, "This," Su Wan was shocked when she saw it, and her brows frowned, "These are all beaten by them?" "The 'they' here naturally refers to the Honggu them. Ah Xi nodded in horror, as if it was a nightmare that could not be forgotten.
"It's really inhuman!" Su Wan said indignantly, her brows furrowed. Pick up the medicinal wine on the table and pour it on the thin cotton, "It may hurt a little, you bear with it." Su Wan looked at Ah Xi with pity and said softly.
Ah Xi bit her lower lip tightly, with a hint of mist in her eyes, and nodded. But when the thin cotton soaked in medicinal wine was applied to the scar, Ah Xi still couldn't help but gasp. Su Wan, who listened to it, pinched inexplicably in her heart. How could such a small girl suffer so many sins.
It was also tonight that Su Wan knew that Ah Xiyuan was also a pearl held in the palm of her hand by her father. It's a pity that a sudden change completely disrupted Ah Xi's happy life.
When Ah Xi was thirteen years old, Ah Xi's father became addicted to drugs. Since then, it has been out of control. The land of the house was deserted without planting; The soft saved was also taken out by Ah Xi's father and defeated on the gambling table. In the end, even Ah Xi's mother could not escape, and was defeated by Ah Xi's father at the gambling table.
When the people from the gambling house came to ask for someone, Ah Xi Niang was humiliated and fell to her death on the pillar. Poor thirteen-year-old Ah Xi was dragged alive by the people in the gambling house to pay off his debts. Ah Xi's father looked at Ah Xi Niang's body on the ground, and then looked at his daughter who was pulled away, and regretted.
Finally, one night, Ah Xi's father burned the gambling house with a barrel of gasoline, burned the evil gambler, and died in the fire. But only saved Ah Xi alone. The fire burned all night, and Ah Xi cried more than one night.
With the help of the villagers, Ah Xi buried his parents, listened to Ah Xi's father, and came to Qinghe Town to find Ah Xi Niang's brother. Ah Xi traveled for nearly a year before begging along the way to find Qinghe Town.
Unexpectedly, Ah Xi Niang's brother had already moved away from Qinghe Town and did not know where to go. Ah Xi's last support all collapsed, but at this moment, someone told her that he knew where Ah Xi Niang's brother was.
Ah Xi believed it, and in a blink of an eye, he was sold to Honggu by that person. Ah Xi wanted to escape, but Ah Xi escaped once, so Honggu sent someone to beat her hard. Finally, this time Ah Xi escaped and met the noble Su Wan.
Su Wan hugged Ah Xi, who was already asleep, sighed silently, and gently wiped the tears on Ah Xi's cheeks with a handkerchief. Why do people in this world always have so many bumpy fates? Su Wan put Ah Xi away and pulled the quilt up. Looking at Ah Xihong's fluttering face, Su Wan's heart hurt.
There is no regret medicine in the world, Axi, may your life in the future not be as bumpy as before.
When Su Wan left Ah Xi's room, it was already dark. Because Ah Xi was waiting in front of her, the distance between the two rooms was not too far, and she arrived after a few steps. Su Wan pushed open the door, and when she raised her eyes, she saw Ye Jingsheng sitting at the round table. Ye Jingsheng Xu also didn't expect Su Wan to suddenly push the door, and the teacup in her hand hung in the air for a while.
Su Wan's eyebrows drooped slightly, she stretched out her hand to close the door, turned around and nodded, "Jingsheng, you're back." β
Ye Jingsheng, who reacted, put down the teacup in his hand and coughed, "Hmm." I am back. β
The air was unusually quiet, and both of them were secretly thinking about what to say next.
"You,"
"You,"
The two spoke in unison, and the air froze again.
"Iβ"
"Iβ"
ββ¦β¦β
"You speak first."
"You speak first."
ββ¦β¦β
The two of them, who didn't have a tacit understanding, suddenly became unusually tacit.
"Thatβ"
Su Wan didn't speak again this time as expected, only heard Ye Jingsheng clench his fists and cough lightly, and said, "Are you okay today?" β
Su Wan's eyebrows furrowed, and his gaze at Ye Jingsheng darkened slightly, it turned out that he really knew. Su Wan lowered her eyes and shook her head, "It's okay." β
"Oh. That's fine, that's fine. Ye Jingsheng nodded and said. I felt weird in my heart, but I couldn't say it.
"Oh, yes. Shopkeeper Zhao wants you to go to Buzhuang to teach them embroidery, let me ask your opinion. Do you want to go? Due to the strange atmosphere in the air, Ye Jingsheng couldn't help but be cautious when he spoke.
Su Wan's originally dark eyes lit up again when she heard this, "IβCan I really go?" Actually, she really yearns for the world that Jing Sheng said. Women are no longer an accessory to men, they can also go out to study, work, and live the life they want.
"Absolutely!" Ye Jingsheng looked at Su Wan's dark and shiny eyes, and said firmly: "As long as you want, you can!" β
"I want to!" Su Wan's mouth was faster than her brain, and she said it all at once. The speed of his speech frightened Ye Jingsheng. However, soon the two looked at each other and smiled. I don't know what to laugh at, I just feel that the previous embarrassment is gone.
Early the next morning. Ye Jingsheng sat on the wooden round stool, looking at the thin landscape screen in front of him, frowning slightly. He didn't know how deep he slept, and every time the little girl got up and left.
The door was pushed open, and Ye Jingsheng looked at the girl who walked in, she looked about thirteen or fourteen years old, but her eyes were very angry.
"You are?" Ye Jingsheng looked up and down at the girl who walked in, and she was indeed wearing the clothes of his Ye family.
Ah Xi held the wooden plate in his hand and lowered his head nervously, "Young master, young master, it was the young grandmother who saved Ah Xi and let Ah Xi stay." β
"Su Wan?" Ye Jingsheng was puzzled, "What's the matter?" β
Ah Xi's fingers tightly grasped the wooden plate, and told the details of yesterday's events, although the nervous words were a little intermittent, but the general meaning Ye Jingsheng had almost understood.
"I see." Ye Jingsheng thought thoughtfully. Although the Qing Dynasty was overthrown, the times were still not peaceful.
"Your name is Ah Xi?" Ye Jingsheng looked at the girl in front of him, and it seemed that she was a little smaller than Su Wan.
