Chapter 41: Does It Hurt
Chun Tao asked in a low voice: "Girl, does Aunt Ding know anything?" “
Yun Xiu's eyes were gloomy, "People are not afraid of shadows, I am not afraid, what are you afraid of." “
"You're getting bolder." Yun Zhidong sat in front of the bookcase, and called Yun Xiu to the study before taking off his official uniform, physically and mentally exhausted, pointing to the paper drawn on the table, "Deliver letters, send personal objects, which one should be said to be what a girl should do?" “
Yun Xiu wanted to refute, but the words came to her mouth and swallowed again, the old lady's illness had nothing to do with her last mouth. She stood silently by the wall, listening.
"Being a father is not old-fashioned," Yun Zhidong endured the fire when he thought of Zhongyi Hou, "Your mother left early, and I don't care much." But grandmother should always be your sweetheart, right? What can't you tell her about the old man? The elders are all from the past, if it is really suitable, it can stop you from succeeding, and what kind of system can you sneak into. “
The more he spoke, the more outrageous it became, Yun Xiu defended himself, "Father, I can't tell Xiao Wu the content of the letter. But the daughter and the Marquis of Zhongyi are innocent. “
"Could it be that Xiao Wu is lying?" The cloud cave pressed the fire, "Okay, good, you made the bracers, so you didn't wrong." “
Yun Xiu admitted: "I made the bracers. “
Yun Zhidong snorted: "I don't see you making a pair of shoes for your eldest brother and third brother on weekdays, but this has become more diligent." “
Yun Xiu asked rhetorically: "The grace of dripping water should be reciprocated by the spring, the Hou Ye saved Chun Tao's life, and his daughter was a deputy bracer to be grateful, what's wrong?" “
"Not to be exaggerated, not to be exaggerated." Yun Zhidong laughed angrily, "From ancient times to the present, letters convey affection, and things determine love, you occupy them all, the Ling family doesn't know whether it is red or white, you are in a hurry to get on the pole, do you know how to write shameful words!" “
"Father, my daughter is discussing the case of Daming Temple with the Marquis of Zhongyi," Yun Xiu also suppressed the fire and explained, "It's inconvenient to meet, write some foolish opinions in letters, and if my father doesn't believe it, he can confront Hou Ye." “
"Looking for a confrontation with the Marquis of Zhongyi? You're not ashamed enough! Yun Zhidong slapped the table a few times, "The yamen doesn't do things, listen to your nonsense, when they are stupid or stupid for their father!" “
"If I can prove it." Yun Xiu's heart was cold, "Does my father believe it?" “
"If you want to prove it," Yun Zhidong said ruthlessly, "marry back to your hometown, and you are not allowed to set foot in Yangzhou City in this life." “
"It's all up to my father." Yun Xiu coldly dropped a sentence, lifted her skirt and stepped out of the room.
At this point, there is no need for her to avoid Zhongyihou, but it will attract conjecture.
"Mother Fang, if grandmother is sober, you can say that I will go to Daming Temple to pray for her old man's blessing and come back in a few days." Yun Xiu stood outside the door of the hanging flowers and said goodbye to Fang's mother, "Don't tell grandmother, what happened, remember." “
Fang's mother was so anxious that she wiped her tears: "Girl, just you and Chun Tao, the old lady turned her head and woke up, how can you rest assured." The old man is angry, breaking bones and tendons. How can there be a reason not to recognize the daughter of the concubine? “
"Mom, don't persuade me," Yun Xiu stepped on the stool to get into the car, "Grandmother can't protect her for a lifetime, and the road ahead will always be my own." “
"Girl, cry when you're sad." Chun Tao whispered in the carriage, "The slave knows that you didn't sleep all night last night. “
"I'll sleep." The carriage swayed, and Yun Xiu fell asleep, "Call me when you get to the inn." “
"Hey, girl??" Chun Tao still wanted to persuade, but the other party seemed to be asleep.
Yun Xiu began to pretend to be asleep, and then how he fell asleep, he didn't know, and when he woke up, he felt leaning on a person, and his bones were very hard, not as soft as Chun Tao.
"Got enough sleep?" There was a sound in the chest, low and slightly echoing.
Yun Xiu was taken aback. Hurriedly sat up straight, pulled off the handkerchief around his waist to wipe his face, and complained in a low voice: "Why didn't Chun Tao wake me up." “
Ling Xiao looked at her panicked appearance for the first time, with a smile in his eyes: "She wants to call you, I stopped you." “
"Where's Spring Peach?" When Yun Xiu woke up, she found that there were only two people in the carriage, her and Zhongyihou.
Ling Xiao pointed back with his thumb: "In the car behind." “
"Just let Hou Ye laugh." Yun Xiu said and moved to the side, and the two of them left a gap open.
Ling Xiao has been in contact with it a few times, and knows what can and can't be teased, "Why are you asking me to go to Daming Temple?" “
"I'd like to see the kid and maybe find a new clue." Yun Xiu had already thought of an excuse, "Besides, my grandmother has been sick recently, and she can't get better after drinking a few pairs of medicines." I want to go to the temple to chant and pray for her old man's well-being. “
Ling Xiao sighed, from the moment he got into the car, he found that her eyes were blue, and he wanted to find a chance to ask, but he didn't expect the other party to say it himself, "You can pray for blessings, don't worry about the case, it was originally a matter of the yamen." “
"I really can't help a girl," Yun Xiu's words were polite and alienated, "But I can't let Hou Ye run for nothing, I think that the chief official has nothing to do with the child, most of them are because the child is afraid, and there are children of the same age at home and abroad, and they are playing at home on weekdays, and their temperament is almost the same." “
was willing to take the initiative to help, and his words were sensible and compliant, but Ling Xiao felt that something was wrong.
"What's wrong with you?" He asked.
Yun Xiu smiled lightly: "Lord Lao Hou cares, it's not a big deal, it's just that my grandmother is sick, I can't rest assured." “
She wanted to be so well-behaved at the beginning, Ling Xiao felt that it was no problem, but she didn't seem to be a person for a few days, "You are like this, you don't look like worrying about patients, there is something else, right?" “
"Nope." Yun Xiu pursed her lips, she was actually still sleepy, taking care of the patient was a matter of staying up, plus she was angry and insomnia last night, and now she yawns one after another, and she can't stop it.
She didn't want to say, Ling Xiao didn't want to ask more: "You go back to sleep, I'll call you when you go to Daming Temple." “
"I don't sleep." No matter how big Yun Xiu's heart is, he is not big enough to sit with a man with a foreign surname without any worries about making up for sleep.
What's more, the scolding of the cloud cave sounded the alarm bell on her head.
Xiao Wu is clever, what he can say, what he can't say can't pry his mouth open, otherwise Ding Meisheng wouldn't have made a fuss about only two things: letters and wrist guards.
But listening to her father's tone, it seems that there is something between her and Zhongyi Hou, is it possible to rely on just one testimony?
Or did Aunt Xue say something?
She has so much energy that she makes her father angry?
"What's the fuss?" I don't know when Ling Xiao poured two cups of tea and pushed one to her.
The tea was boiled by spring peaches before, and it was warmed on a small stove, which would have turned off the stove early, but the water was warm.
"Master Xie." Yun Xiu thought too much about it, and instinctively thanked him, but he actually took a sip and completely forgot the rules of respect and inferiority.
Ling Xiao glanced at her, didn't say anything, and started to say something else: "At the end of the month, I want to go back to Beijing, and the people from Yandao invited me to go to the opera troupe, and I picked two private rooms on the second floor." “
The identity of the Marquis of Zhongyi is present, and he can't open his mouth to say please.
Change the girl in the capital, leak a little wind and go out, not to mention the two private rooms, even the entire second floor is full.
But Yunxiu's answer was a little uninteresting, "I'm afraid of sweeping the Houye's interest, my father has never liked the girl's family to touch the salt road, and I don't know when my grandmother will recover, so I will go back after praying for blessings." I probably can't go out. “
"Yes." The corners of Zhongyihou's mouth sank, obviously unhappy.
Yun Xiu knew that his words were not pleasing but he couldn't say anything, his grandmother was sick, his father didn't care about the inner house, and Zhongyi Hou left at the end of the month. Yun Yan is scheduled to get married in late spring, except for Ding Meisheng's wife in the backyard, there are two remaining aunts and Yun Zimo, none of them can be counted on, she always has to calculate for herself.
The carriage was eerily quiet, dreary and oppressive.
Ling Xiao closed his eyes. The Malaysian golden knife nested in the couch chair, Yun Xiu couldn't sleep and was afraid of making a noise to disturb people's rest, so he opened the incense burner lightly, carefully filled it with incense powder, and then slowly flattened it, and the light fragrance gradually became stronger.
"Do you have the leisure to play and don't have time to watch the show?" Ling Xiao spoke up, breaking the condensation atmosphere.
Yun Xiu's hand trembled, pressing a small pit on the flat incense powder, she frowned slightly, put down the silver spoon in her hand, raised her eyes and said: "I don't see much on weekdays, I accompany my grandmother to read books when I have nothing to do, chat to relieve boredom, and string some beads and gadgets for my sisters." “
It's all things that the girl's family likes, and there is a rejection in the words, and I can't find fault with it.
But Ling Xiao's face was even more ugly than before, and he sounded like a curse in a Yanjing accent. "You invited me to Daming Temple, and I ran to poke people's lung tubes? Prick me with a needle and laugh so much that it's called a happy one, tell you to go to the play, don't you come three or four, and let me play? “
Yun Xiu covered the copper lid of the incense burner, bowed his head and did not speak.
What can she say. asked Zhongyi Hou to stay away from her, saying that her father scolded her for some unwarranted things, and the aunt who continued to be majestic at home, and the sick sisters were jealous.
She struggles to breathe in the pile of trivial things all day long, and lives another life in vain.
"Ask you!" Zhongyihou was extremely angry at her silence, and raised his hand to pinch her jaw, forcing her to look up.
He thought she would cry, beg for mercy, or resist Xie Zongren's attitude stubbornly, but no.
Yun Xiu was still silent, his eyes were like a pool of stagnant water, he was not frightened, and he didn't seem to feel the strength of his fingers.
Ling Xiao knew with a little effort that when he let go, he left a few red marks on his fair skin.
"Okay, let's handle the case first." He was angry and unbearable, "I'll send you home after finishing early." “
"When Hou Ye leaves, the little girl will practice for Hou Ye." Yun Xiu added tea to his cup and said calmly, "If Master Hou likes to drink green tea, this season is good in Longjing before Ming, and the green poplar spring is good, bring two more boxes to my second sister by the way, don't bother?" “
Ling Xiao said that it was not troublesome.
Yun Xiu continued: "Master Hou, wherever you go, you are the respected Lord Hou of the capital, and the little girl will never dare to make fun of you. It is a blessing for a little girl to be appreciated by the marquis, but the blessing has depths, and you can't insist on it if it doesn't belong to me. “
She knew what Zhongyi Hou meant, but this layer of paper couldn't be pierced, and if it was pierced, it would be left to agree or not to agree.
can only take his own proportion and say low, retreat as advance, and first calm the anger of Zhongyi Hou.
I can't let this entanglement affect my father's future.
Ling Xiao snorted, didn't listen to it, dissipated the anger, Yun Xiu didn't know, but the two of them were embarrassed to sit dry, she re-lit the small stove and made a pot of new tea.
Her tea skills are good, her movements are smooth, and the fine silver bracelet slides up and down on her slender white wrist, which is pleasing to the eye.
"I'll do it myself." Ling Xiao saw that the water in the teapot was boiling, worried that she would be hot, and asked again, "Does your jaw hurt?" “
