Chapter 59: Hanging and beating Diao slaves
Coming out of the palace, the sun has risen very high, sprinkled on the people warmly hooked a little lazy, and there is a faint feeling of spring.
Su Li didn't say what she and Su Wanyue talked about, and Chu Huai'an didn't ask, in this matter, Su Li had already made a decision, and what kind of attitude he had would not affect Su Li.
There were a lot of people on the street, and the carriage walked towards the Hou Mansion gently, passing by Shanshitang, Su Li asked the coachman to stop.
"Master Hou, I want to buy something and go to Jingzhao Yin Mansion to see the second sister."
"You're going alone?"
Su Li lowered her eyes: "There are some private things I want to say to the second sister." The implication was that it was not convenient for him to go along.
Chu Huai'an pursed his lips, and after a while, he waved his hand to let her leave, which was considered to be agreed, Su Li got out of the carriage, and just jumped down and stood firm, two gold ingots smashed over.
The man didn't say anything more, and calmly urged the driver to drive away quickly.
Su Li was stunned for a moment, and then walked towards Shanshitang with the gold ingot, and was about to enter the door, but Yu Guang was attracted by a horseshoe print full of mouths.
After a pause, Su Li turned around and walked to the horseshoe print and squatted down.
The ground is all paved with tiles, and the horse's hoof prints are not very clear, and you can vaguely see three horse nails in the middle of the horse's hooves.
In winter, the weather is cold and freezing, the road surface is slippery, and the horse's hooves must be studed to prevent slipping, but the habits of horse trainers in various countries are different.
The southern part of the country was warm, and there was no snow even in the cold winter, but the north was bitterly cold, and the winter grain and grass production was very small, and the animal husbandry was not developed, so horses and forage were purchased from neighboring nomadic tribes.
The nomadic people are located in the Gobi Desert, the terrain is quite flat, and rarely go out after the snow in winter, generally only one horse nail is enough, and the Saibei Hu people like to conquer, winter prefers winter hunting competition to determine the warriors in the clan, is to hit three horse nails on the horse's palm, so that in the winter can also gallop freely.
Playing horse nails requires skill, three horse nails are even more difficult, if the skills are rusty, it will waste a good horse, so if there is no special need, the horse trainers of the Yuanzhao Kingdom generally only nail a horse nail, over time, three horse nails have become a symbol of the Hu people.
Su Li touched the horseshoe print with her hand, and her brows were gathered into small wrinkles, this is Kyoto, how can there be a horseshoe print of the Hu people?
Su Li got up and walked into Shanshitang, and pulled the guy who greeted him in the front hall to the door: "Did someone here come here on horseback to grab medicine just now, do you remember what that person looked like?" ”
The guy was suddenly pulled to the door and was still a little stunned, and after listening to Su Li's question, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said nonchalantly: "The girl asked Li San?" He's just a dumbfounded guy with a mouth full of nonsense, and he doesn't know where he got a horse saying that he was going to go out to travel around the world, and he was riding out to show off. ”
"Where does he live?"
"The girl wants to find him and go directly to the teahouse three streets away from here, he likes to brag about tea and snacks in the teahouse the most!"
After the guy finished speaking, Su Li turned around and left, she looked at the small steps, in fact, she walked very fast, and in less than a quarter of an hour, she saw the teahouse that Xiao Erkou said on the corner of the street, there were many people in the teahouse at this time, and there were many carriages parked at the door, but Su Li still recognized the black horse from those carriages at a glance and the others were different.
The Hu people raise horses very harshly, the horses raised can run wild in the blizzard, endure hunger and cold, and will not be easily frightened, the horses are raised to shine brightly, and the body shape is also extremely beautiful, and the horses that are not pampered in Beijing can be compared.
The black horse was like this, his black hair was refracted in the sun, and the teahouse set aside a place for the chariots and horses to recuperate and provide forage, but the black horse held his head high and did not eat a bite.
If you get closer, you can see that the black horse has a wound on its rump, which must have been wounded on the battlefield.
It was also Su Li's luck, she was observing the horse, a person with unkempt hair and a scholarly appearance was driven out by the teahouse guys, the scholar scolded and scolded a few words, and went to lead the black horse indignantly, who else could it be if it wasn't Li San?
Su Li stepped forward and took out a piece of broken silver and gave it to him: "Don't make a noise, I'll just ask you one question, where did you get this horse?" ”
Li San quickly took the broken silver, took it in his hand and turned it upside down, and hugged the horse's neck: "This is what I bought from the horse market, the girl has taken a fancy to this horse?" We'll have to talk about the price! ”
Li San had an expression of wanting to sit on the ground and raise the price, but Su Li pursed her lips and said nothing.
After a war is over, some people at the border pass secretly go to the battlefield to pick up some weapons and melt them to make some gadgets to sell, and if they are lucky, they will be dragged home by a wounded war horse to raise their minds, and they can also make a lot of money by selling their ideas.
This is a common occurrence at the border gates, and as long as there is no major incident, everyone will turn a blind eye, so it is very likely that this horse was sold from the border gate to Kyoto after several turnovers.
But being seen at such a time here, Su Li always felt very uneasy.
"It's just that this horse is a little beautiful, and I don't mean to fight for love with my son."
"What's the use of being pretty, it's not a beast that is ridden!"
Seeing that it was unprofitable, Li San muttered angrily, grabbed the saddle and fluttered for a while before laboriously climbing on the horse's back and leaving.
Su Li stared at his back for a while, and then walked into the teahouse.
There is nothing special in the teahouse, the storyteller is in full swing telling the story of fresh hunting, everyone listens to the shouting from time to time, Su Li turned around downstairs, and wanted to go upstairs, but was stopped by the guy: "Girl, I'm sorry, the second floor is a private room, and you have to book a private room before you can go up." ”
Su Li nodded and took out a piece of broken silver: "Is this enough?" ”
The man's eyes lit up, and he took the broken silver and smiled and bent his eyebrows: "Enough, enough, the girl is upstairs, please, and I will bring food to the girl after a while." ”
Su Li took the lead upstairs and wanted to take a turn upstairs, but the guy reminded in a low voice: "Girl, please!" ”
It seems that the people in the private room on the second floor are not only generous, but also have unusual identities.
Su Li didn't mess around, she walked behind the guy, I don't know if it was her illusion, in the midst of the noise, she seemed to hear the sound of the wooden wheel rolling.
When they arrived at the private room, the guy quickly stepped back.
The upstairs private room has a delicate layout, and the window near the corridor can be set up with a small window, if you want to watch the performance of the storyteller downstairs, this angle is very bright, if you don't want to, the window is closed, and the private room is a private space.
Su Li walked around the four corners of the private room and gently knocked on the two adjacent walls, the walls were very thick, the sound insulation effect was very good, and it was an excellent place to talk.
Inspecting the entire room, there was a knock on the door, and the teahouse guy brought food in.
The meals are all hot, fragrant, and very delicate, and the amount of each serving is not very large, which is not much different from the amount of Su Li's food.
"Girl, please use it slowly!"
After the guy finished speaking, he exited the room, Su Li closed the door, put a piece of snack in his mouth, and pushed open the window to investigate the surrounding terrain.
This teahouse occupies an excellent area, the surrounding area extends in all directions, are wide streets, on both sides are wine shops and inns, there are many people coming and going, the second floor looks out of the view is excellent, and you can even see the magnificent observatory standing in the northwest of the palace in the distance.
Su Li looked around, didn't see anything particularly abnormal, and was about to close the window, when she suddenly saw a pile of horse manure on the street behind her.
It stands to reason that the guests' horses are at the front door, and no one enters or exits at the back door, so how can there be horse manure??
Just as he was guessing, an unkempt man came out the back door.
Su Li immediately closed the window, and sighed in her heart, didn't Li San already ride away? How could you go out through the back door of the teahouse again?
There's weirdness in this!
Su Li was stunned, and walked out of the room to catch up and find out, but unexpectedly opened the door and saw two people blocking the door.
Walking too quickly, he suddenly stopped his steps, and Su Li shook for a moment to stabilize his body.
"Miss Su, be careful!"
An Wuwu sat in a wheelchair and reminded gently, and raised his hand as if he was ready to help Su Li.
He was still wearing a white brocade robe, it was warm today, he was still holding a stove, his face was terrifyingly white, and he was still that weak and powerless appearance, An Jue was wearing a gray brocade robe and stood behind An Wuwu with his hands on his chest, like a strong bodyguard in martial arts.
The two of them stood together, with different temperaments, shapes, and complexions, but they could vaguely see that their facial contours were four or five points similar, and they were undoubtedly brothers.
With An Wuwu here, An Jue's irritable anger was much less, and although he was still shaking the knife when he looked at Su Li, he was a lot more forbearant and restrained.
"Shopkeeper Ann, Lord Ann."
Su Lifu saluted, suppressed his anxiety, and moved sideways to let An Jue push An Wuwu in.
The wooden wheels crushed against the floor with a dull sound, exactly the same as what Su Li had heard at first, and the two had appeared in the teahouse before her.
"Miss Su is leaving? It seems that none of these meals have been touched, is it because the cook's craftsmanship is not good? ”
An Wuwu asked softly, and picked up the chopsticks that Su Li had just used without mind.
"Ann Shopkeeper ......"
Su Li wanted to stop it, but An Wuwu had already moved elegantly and tasted a piece of meat.
"What?"
An Wuwu chewed the meat and asked blankly, Su Li swallowed the next words, and said, "Listen to what Shopkeeper An just meant, this teahouse seems to be in your name?" ”
"Miss Su doesn't think it's like it?" An Wuwu swallowed what was in his mouth and asked, with a perennial smile on the corner of his lips, like extremely gentle, but extremely affectionate.
"Shopkeeper Ann is really young and promising."
Su Li sincerely admired, the terrain of this teahouse is excellent, to take down here, it will take a lot of effort, and after taking it, it is definitely a profitable deal.
Su Li thought of the deed he had given to Chu Huai'an before, and only felt that this person's wealth was probably unimaginable to ordinary people.
"Miss Su's award, it's just a small business to make ends meet." An Wuwu replied casually, and then looked at Su Li and said: "Recently, I want the kitchen to study some fresh dishes, Miss Su has been in the border for five years, do you know what special foods are available at the border gate?" ”
He asked casually, and the excuse was very good, and it didn't make people feel uncomfortable being spied on at all, but Su Li still tensed her nerves in an instant.
"The border is bitter and cold, the food is not particular, the Beijing is prosperous, the cooking is fine, the two are probably incompatible, how can the shopkeeper suddenly want to eat at the border pass?" Su Li vaguely asked An Wuwu's question, and turned to throw out her own questions.
An Wuwu used chopsticks to poke the plate of dim sum that Su Li had just moved: "Don't hide it from Miss Su, Your Majesty intends to lay off the army, I am afraid that a large number of soldiers will return to Beijing from the border in the past two years, these people are all equipped with martial arts, Your Majesty will not easily let them go back to their hometowns to farm, the best thing is to arrange them in Beijing, protect the imperial city, and study some special foods as soon as possible." ”
When he said this, it seemed that he could already cut the troops, Su Li swept An Jue behind An Wuwu, the hilt of the sword studded with gems on his waist reflected a fine cold light, and praised against his will: "Shopkeeper An is really far-sighted." ”
"Don't dare to be, Miss Su hasn't answered my question just now."
"The border is rich in wheat and pasta, so you might as well spread some pancakes in front of the store, and then study some new tricks in combination with the food in Beijing, and people who want to come to Kyoto can also taste fresh."
Su Li said casually, but there were many measurements in her heart, this pasta is everywhere, and pancakes are not a rare thing, she said this casually, and An Wuwu also heard it.
An Wuwu nodded thoughtfully: "Miss Su is reasonable. After speaking, he looked at the food on the table that had barely moved: "I remember that Miss Su seemed to be in a hurry, was she in a hurry to do something?" ”
Seeing that I was in a hurry, why did you stop me from talking such nonsense?
Su Li sneered, and squeezed out a light smile on her face: "It's nothing urgent, if you are really in a hurry, you won't talk so much to Shopkeeper An." ”
When the words fell, An Wuwu's face smiled even more, and it was rare to laugh out loud.
"Miss Su is really an interesting person."
"I'm still far from shopkeeper An!"
The two of them are talking back and forth, and the words are all roundabout and tentative, and they don't need more corroboration, they both know that the other party is not as simple as it seems on the surface.
The only thing that made Su Li feel true was that he found Su Li interesting, because Su Li could feel his inquiry into herself, with curiosity and unfathomable danger.
"Miss Su helped An with advice, and An invited me for today's meal!"
An said without worry, knowing that he was not short of money, Su Li did not shirk: "Xie An is the shopkeeper!" ”
After speaking, An Jue pushed An Wuwu to leave, and did not rashly talk to Su Li from beginning to end.
As soon as they left, Su Li summoned the teahouse guys to pack the unfinished meals.
The guy quickly removed the meal, and after a while, he took a food box to Su Li, Su Li went downstairs without a hurry, and turned to the back door of the teahouse, and the pile of horse manure at the back door had been cleaned up, as if it had never appeared.
Su Li stared at the door for a while, crossed a street, and gave all the food in the food box to the beggar on the street, and the beggar scattered, rubbing Su Li's skirt a little dirty, she didn't mind, just wanted to ask them something, and suddenly heard a person mutter: "What's the matter with this cook today, the pork knuckle is not well cooked!" ”
The words that came to his mouth were swallowed raw, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on Su Li's back, and she turned around and left in a hurry.
Generally, they reconnoiter the enemy's situation, either starting from the Goolan courtyard or the beggar's nest.
These two places look the most pickled, but they are also the places where the information is the most accessible.
Maybe it's a casual complaint on the street, or maybe it's an unintentional dispute between the two, all of which may be remembered by them and become a crucial clue in the hands of someone with a heart.
There are a lot of beggars on this street, this is what Su Li just saw in the private room of the teahouse, she wanted to use food as bait, and asked Li San if he often went in and out of the teahouse, and when and where he bought the black horse, but these people were used to eating the things in the building!
Su Li has also seen some generous rich and noble families helping beggars on the street to do good deeds, but when this thing falls on An Wuwu, it seems inexplicably strange.
The uneasiness in her heart was amplified little by little, Su Li quickly turned around and returned to Shanshi Hall, it was already noon, there were only three or three patients waiting to see a doctor in the hall, and the guy took Su Li to find Yue Yan, she happened to send out a young woman who was pregnant with Liujia.
Su Li turned sideways and got out of the way, Yue Yan kept sending the young woman out of the door of the medical hall before coming back, seeing that Su Li's face was a little bad, she quickly returned to the clinic and closed the door.
Because most of the people she treated were women, there was also a small cubicle in the consultation room, Su Li checked all around the cubicle, and after Yue Yan made sure that the room was not strange with her eyes, she still lowered her voice and said, "What happened?" Why is Ah Li so cautious? But has anyone found out who you are? ”
Su Li pursed her lips, and for a while she couldn't tell the bond she had formed with An Jue.
"I just saw a horse at the entrance of the infirmary."
"How so?" Yue Yan was shocked, and hurriedly pulled Su Li to ask, "Who is the person riding that horse?" But there is a fine work mixed into Kyoto? ”
"You also know the Hu style, if it is really meticulous, it will not be so careless in doing things."
Su Li analyzed, his expression became more and more solemn, Yue Yan had also been in the army longer than Su Li, and naturally he was not such an ignorant person, and quickly figured out the truth: "Ah Li means that someone is deliberately testing you and me?" ”
Su Li didn't expect this point, when she saw the pile of horse manure at the back door of the teahouse, she faintly felt that she had fallen into the trap, and she didn't know what the person in the trap wanted to do.
If An Jue wants to take the opportunity to take revenge because of the previous humiliation, Su Li can still see the trick to deal with it, if their target is not themselves in the first place, I'm afraid ......
Some bad conjectures poured into her mind, Su Li felt cold, and grabbed Yue Yan's hand: "Sister's grain and grass can be purchased?" ”
"Buying such a large amount of grain and grass may attract the attention of others, I haven't purchased it yet, I only contacted the dart master first and said that I want to transport the dart."
"My sister is really thoughtful, don't buy grain and grass for the time being, you will let the dart master escort you out of Beijing in the next few days, and it doesn't hurt to buy it slowly on the way!" Su Li made a decision immediately, and Yue Yan saw her like this, although she didn't know about the An family, she also sensed that the situation was not very appropriate.
"I'm leaving, so what are you going to do?" Yue Yan asked nervously, grabbed Su Li with his backhand and refused to let go, hesitated for a moment and gritted his teeth and whispered, "Wasn't Ah Li curious about how I arrived in Kyoto safely?" It was the general who found a reliable caravan to escort me into Beijing. ”
“……”
These words really shocked Su Li, she knew very well how rigid Lu Ji was, now that the situation is unstable, Yue Yan, as a military doctor with superb medical skills, staying in the army is also an important factor in calming people's hearts, how could he go against his principles and send her away?
"Ah Li's heart for the general, we onlookers can see it clearly, the general's heart is not made of stone, Ah Li, you go with me, if something happens to you, how can I explain to the general when I go back?"
Yue Yan choked up as she spoke, and Su Li didn't know whether to comfort her first or cover her feverish old face for a while.
Is her mind for Lu Ji really so obvious?
The atmosphere was eerily silent for a while, and Su Li first suppressed his complicated thoughts and calmed down: "Ah Zhan is still in Beijing, I can't leave him alone, besides, Hou Ye has already made a clear injustice, and the general's killing of the grain transport envoy has a great turnaround, I can't leave at this critical moment, since someone can't sit still and want to test me, then the horse's feet will be exposed more!" ”
"That ......"
"Sister, don't say more, three days at most, after you get out of the city safely, find a way to ask someone to give me a letter." Su Li couldn't refuse to make a decision, Yue Yan opened his mouth, and didn't say anything after all, he agreed with what Su Li just said.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, Su Li stepped to the door in three or two steps and cut the door bolt, and then said casually: "I have written down what Doctor Yue just said, I will tell the second sister to pay attention, please ask Doctor Yue to help my second sister grab a few more pairs of medicine to nourish her body." ”
After speaking, the door of the consultation room was pushed open, and the guy led the two patients in, Yue Yan picked up the delicate scale and grabbed the medicine according to the proportion.
The four prescriptions were packed squarely, strung together with hemp rope, Su Li handed over the copper plate, took the medicine bag, walked to the door and turned his head to look at Yue Yan: "Doctor Yue, goodbye!" ”
Others didn't know the deep meaning behind her goodbye, but they only saw Yue Yan and her looking at each other in the air, and their eyes were red inexplicably.
Coming out of the medical hall, Su Li went straight to Jingzhao Yin's Mansion, on the one hand, to do a full set of dramas, and on the other hand, she really wanted to visit Su Zhaoyue.
The medical hall is a little far away from Jing Zhaoyin's mansion, Su Li has already passed noon when she arrives, there are guests in the mansion before, and he was sent out of the mansion by Jing Zhaoyin after eating enough wine and food.
Su Li watched from a distance, didn't take advantage of the crowd to come up to find unpleasantness, dodged into the nearby corner alley, and unexpectedly saw seven or eight unkempt beggars squatting in the alley.
These people probably didn't expect that this kind of place would suddenly break into a girl like a flower, several pairs of eyes were stunned, glared at each other for a few seconds, one of the beggars was the first to come back to his senses, and knocked the broken bowl with a stone: "Look at what! This is our territory, the girl was born white and pure, I'm afraid she went to the wrong place! ”
“…… Excuse me! ”
Su Li apologized, turned around and walked out of the alley, and after taking two steps, she felt that something was wrong.
Generally, beggars will choose a downtown with a large number of people, just like those beggars outside the teahouse before, although the alleys where they sit are not lined with commercial buildings, they are also some necessary roads, and there are many people coming and going, and it is not as secluded as this place.
Thinking of this, Su Li stopped and turned to look at the seven or eight people.
Unexpectedly, Su Li would turn back halfway, these people were stunned for a while, and looked at each other from a distance of a few steps from Su Li, and after a while, Su Li obviously felt that these people's bodies were tense, like dormant beasts, ready to wait for the opportunity to pounce and bite each other to death after being discovered.
Su Li walked back, she didn't walk fast or slow, but the process was stretched infinitely, and she could even hear the breathing of everyone in the alley.
Cautiously, but on the verge of triggering.
Jingle bells!
Su Li stopped only one step away from them and threw a silver naked child into the broken bowl that had just been missing.
Seven or eight people were startled by the sound, and stood up suddenly, all of them were tall and far more than ordinary people, like a few small mountain bags shrouded Su Li, Su Li took two steps back, revealing a frightened expression, innocently opened his eyes, and said timidly: "It's cold, don't sit on the ground, buy a bowl of hot wontons to eat." ”
“……”
A group of old men were stunned by Su Li's words, their hands were pinned to their waists, and they almost couldn't hold the big knife hidden on their bodies.
Su Li didn't seem to be aware of the danger at all, and showed an innocent smile: "Are you all here every day?" I see that you are very powerful, do you want to go home with me, my family is recruiting long-term and short-term workers, you can live in my house. ”
“…… We don't need to, the girl doesn't want to get in trouble and leave! ”
One of them suddenly had a fierce face, Su Lise shrank back and took a few steps back, looked at them several times in confusion and fear before running out of the alley towards Jing Zhaoyin's mansion, and muttered: "What a strange person!" ”
She vividly interpreted the image of the innocent and innocent daughter with no place to spend money, and the group of people did not suspect at all, but collectively crusaded against the fierce Su Li's companion just now when they squatted back.
"The little girl is kind, what are you doing so fiercely?"
"That's it! It looks like it's also watery, but I don't know how it tastes like to eat. ”
"Speaking of which, I haven't touched a woman for a long time."
“……”
The next topic was unbearable, but fortunately, Su Li didn't hear it when she walked away, so she didn't pollute her ears.
Lighting up the jade pendant given by Chu Huai'an, the doorman welcomed Su Li into the mansion very respectfully, and saw the big red lanterns hanging around Jingzhao Yin's mansion, and the smile on Su Li's face gradually dissipated.
The men of Yuanzhao Kingdom are generally taller than those of neighboring countries, but they are basically slender, with a very loose strength, only when people reach middle age, most of them will become fat and big-eared, but even so, the figure of the group of people just now is still too tall and burly, revealing the roughness of the desert, like a butcher executioner.
Moreover, Su Li tried it just now, these people didn't want money or food and clothing, and they were obviously deliberately squatting outside Jing Zhaoyin's mansion.
Who are they squatting?
was thinking hard, and the subordinate who led the way opened his mouth to remind: "Miss Su, this is the courtyard of the second young lady." ”
Su Li raised her eyes when she heard the sound, and a small courtyard came into view, with newly written Spring Festival couplets pasted on the courtyard door, red lanterns hung, and the Spring Festival couplets were the delicate small seals used by the second sister.
The courtyard door is open, taking advantage of the good weather, the maid in the yard is fiddling with the plum blossom petals that are taken out to dry, step in, there is a plum tree planted in the corner of the yard, just after the New Year, the flowers on the branches have disappeared.
The courtyard was quite deserted and quiet, Su Li frowned slightly, and suddenly heard a rapid cough coming from the house.
Second sister!
With a tight heart, Su Li followed the sound and walked into the house quickly, lifted the curtain and went in, without sunlight, the room was even colder, like an ice cellar, freezing to the cracks of human bones.
"Second sister?"
Su Li called out urgently, the coughing stopped abruptly, and on the bed a few steps away, a pale slender hand lifted the bed tent and looked at her in shock.
I haven't seen her for just a month, Su Zhaoyue's face is even worse than last time, and the pale sickness is not gone, almost blurring her face.
Her hands trembled, she tried to sit up, the expression on her face changed several times, and finally she trembled uncertainly: "Ah Li, is it you?" Are you back? ”
It's me!
Su Li stepped forward a few times, walked to the side of the bed, held Su Zhaoyue's hand, which was so thin that there were almost bones left, and half-knelt in front of the bed: "Second sister, it's me!" ”
After saying these four words, Su Li lost her voice, her throat was extremely uncomfortable, Su Zhaoyue's hands were shockingly cold, and tears immediately welled up, blurring her vision, but she kept looking at Su Li and refused to move away.
After five years, everything is a thing, a person, and the mood of the two is the same, Su Zhaoyue looked Su Li up and down for a long time, and finally patted the back of her hand and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good to come back!" ”
Her tone relaxed, her body also relaxed, and the cough that was forced down became more and more intense, as if she was going to cough out her lungs, Su Li was busy patting her chest to help her relieve her breath, and Green Sleeves finally came back to her senses and knelt beside the bed to feed her medicine.
"Madame, drink the medicine quickly, don't let the third lady listen to it and worry about it."
Green sleeves persuaded him, and it took a long time to finish feeding a bowl of medicine with Su Li.
After drinking the medicine, Su Zhaoyue's cough slowly stopped, pulled Su Li to sit on the edge of the bed, beckoned Green Sleeves to boil water to make tea, and was stopped by Su Li.
"It's as cold as today, and the second sister is unwell, why isn't there charcoal burning in the house?"
"There is still a warm sun today, and spring is coming soon, where do you still need to burn charcoal?" Su Zhaoyue replied with a light smile, not feeling wronged at all, and gave Green Sleeves a look again, and sent the person out.
How did Su Li not know her broken teeth and blood-swallowing nature? I was angry but I didn't argue with her at this moment, and I didn't see anything outside, so I got up and found another quilt from the house to cover Su Zhaoyue.
The quilt is made of okay materials, it is soft to hold, and it looks very new, but the bed on Su Zhaoyue's body is even washed white.
"The second sister is still sick, even if she doesn't burn charcoal to keep warm, she should cover an extra quilt!" Su Li complained, leaning over to help Su Zhaoyue tucked the corners of the quilt carefully.
Su Zhaoyue smiled and bent her eyebrows: "Ah Li is still like five years ago, with a hard mouth and a soft heart. "It's been a long time since she's experienced such warmth, and she's so happy, radiating joy from the inside out.
It's so good that after five years, Ah Li has never been separated from her at all.
"Whoever is good to me, I am naturally soft-hearted to whom, if it is to others, my heart is already as cold as iron!" Su Li replied with a sigh of relief, and looked around the room again.
Jing Zhaoyin's house is not as good as Shangshu Mansion, all the furnishings are ordinary, and even Su Zhaoyue's original boudoir can't catch up, and the direction of this house is not good, the sun is so bright today, but there is no halo that penetrates into the house.
Ordinary people, how can the main house be so unbearable?
"How does the second sister live here? Is this the main house? Sheet...... Where does my brother-in-law live? ”
She wanted to call Zhang Ling by his name, but she was afraid that Su Zhaoyue would not be able to do it, so she reversed her title halfway, Su Zhaoyue lowered her eyes and coughed, although she tried her best to disguise, there was still a trace of loneliness on her face: "I am very sick these days, so I will move here to live for a few days, so as not to add bad luck to my parents-in-law." ”
How many days? That's not what the person who led the way just now!
Su Li clenched her fists in anger, her face could not be disguised, and she was cold: "Really? Will the second sister move back to the main hospital after she recovers? ”
I don't know which nerve this sentence pierced Su Zhaoyue, her face turned a little pale, and she unconsciously took Su Li's hand and muttered: "Ah Li, it's actually quite ...... to live here." Pretty good. ”
There was panic in her eyes that she didn't even know, and Su Li immediately thought of the fact that she was going to humiliate her when she mentioned Zhang Ling's anger in the medical hall before, and her heart ached.
What kind of vicious means did the beast use to make the second sister afraid of this?
Su Zhaoyue was not lightly ill, and she didn't notice Su Li's emotions surging for a while, Su Li comforted her in a deep voice, and when the effect of the medicine came up, she was a little groggy and wanted to sleep, and she still held Su Li's hand in a daze: "Ah Li, don't go, I'll sleep for a while, and wake up after a while to make something to eat for you." ”
"Good!"
Su Li agreed softly, Su Zhaoyue quickly fell asleep, and after a while, Green Sleeves came back with a teapot, and there was an extra stain on his body, I don't know if he was splashed on it, or if he fell somewhere.
Su Li carefully put Su Zhaoyue's hand into the quilt, pulled the green sleeves and walked out of the yard, looking down to see that the teapot was not hot at all, and when she tried to touch it, it was ice water.
"Didn't the second sister tell you to boil hot water? How did it get like this? ”
Su Li asked with a cold face, Green Sleeves was wronged, his eyes were so red that he couldn't do it, and he gritted his teeth and replied: "The people in the kitchen see that Mrs. is not favored, and they always step on the high and low, and they want to make it difficult for us!" ”
For five whole years, how could Su Zhaoyue's grievances in Jingzhao Yin's Mansion be said in one sentence or two? Based on what Su Li has seen and heard in just a quarter of an hour, she can only get a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg!
Su Li was so angry that her heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys were in pain, and she immediately snatched the teapot in the green sleeve's hand and ordered coldly: "Where is the kitchen, take me there!" ”
Green Sleeves was also fed up with the days of being bullied, and he didn't care about anything immediately, so he took Su Li's menacing super kitchen with red eyes and a stalk on his neck.
After noon, there was nothing to do, and the kitchen staff were sitting in the courtyard eating melon seeds and basking in the sun, and some of the broken mouths were still muttering, saying how many times Zhang Ling went to Lanyue Pavilion this month, and how many times Su Zhaoyue was beaten.
Speaking of excitement, a group of people laughed, but before they could finish laughing, they saw a beautiful woman led by the green sleeves who usually swallowed their anger and stepped into the courtyard.
"Little cheap hoof, I said that there is no fire and no water now, what are you doing here? Is your wife dying of thirst or something? Is it really so urgent to drink cold water and continue your life first? I thought I was so precious! ”
The one who spoke was a mother-in-law who was five big and three thick, and the mother-in-law was also thirty or forty years old, spitting melon seed shells, with a sour face, and it could be seen that she usually used such words to abuse the green sleeves.
Su Li didn't ask much, pulled the green sleeves behind her, and stepped forward to smash a teapot on the woman's head.
This teapot is not exquisite, but the quality is excellent, the woman snorted, and her head was smashed out of a bloody hole, but the teapot in Su Li's hand was not damaged at all.
Just after the New Year, everyone was very happy to receive the reward, but they didn't expect that someone would rush into the house to make trouble, they were all stunned, the woman fell to the ground and howled three or four times, and the others rushed up to help her up.
Green Sleeves was also startled, but she had already seen Su Li beating Zhang Ling before, and when she saw Su Li beating people again, she was not afraid, but excited.
The third lady played really well, these people are used to bullying Madame on weekdays, and they should be told to know that they know that they are powerful!
Thinking of this, the waist of the green sleeves straightened up.
Others didn't recognize Su Li, and when they saw Green Sleeves like this, they immediately rolled up their sleeves and gritted their teeth: "Green Sleeves, you cheap hooves, where did you find such a crazy woman, you dare to make trouble in the house, let Mrs. know that you will die!" ”
"Really? I'm afraid your lady doesn't know! Su Li sneered, turned her head and ordered Green Sleeves: "Close the door!" After saying that, he rushed over with a teapot.
These people are lazy when they work on weekdays, and they will only scratch and splash when they fight, where can they beat Su Li, and within a moment, a group of people will all lie on the ground and howl, some of their arms are broken, some of them are broken, but they are shocked by Su Li's momentum of breaking thousands of armies and dare not say anything disrespectful.
The teapot was still broken after all, only a circle of residue was left hanging on the handle of the pot, Su Li threw it to the ground casually, stepped on everyone and sat on the low stool where the mother-in-law was sitting, and knocked a melon seed leisurely.
Green Sleeves stood by the door and looked dumbfounded, and was just about to applaud Su Li, when the courtyard door was slapped twice: "Green Sleeves!" Open the door! ”
The voice was sharp, it was the majesty of a first-class maid, the green sleeves shook in fright, and subconsciously looked at Su Li, Su Li clapped her hands, and said without surprise: "Open the door and hide behind me." ”
After getting the order, Green Sleeves took off the deadbolt, and then jumped behind Su Li like a rabbit to hide, the arrogant big girl didn't expect Green Sleeves to be so obedient, and fell into a dog to gnaw mud, causing a lot of laughter.
"What's so funny, what's all laughing at?"
A solemn voice was suppressed, the laughter all dissipated, and Wei walked in arrogantly with the posture of the housewife, his eyes swept around, and he saw that the people on the ground were all colored, and his face sank.
"Miss Su, it's only the fourth year of junior high school today, and it's not over the Lantern Festival yet, what do you want to do when you come here to make such a fuss in my house?" Wei asked calmly, Xu is the main mother for a long time, and this person's face will become almost the same.
Wei's face now is as hateful as Zhao's in Su Li's mind.
"Madame misunderstood, I'm here to visit my second sister today."
The people in the courtyard were wailing and lying down, but Su Li said that it was a misunderstanding without changing his face, the corners of Wei's eyes twitched fiercely, and he wanted to suppress his anger but failed, pointing at Su Li's nose and scolding: "It is said that concubines are not allowed to be on the stage, your sister is like this, you are even more shameless, people like you should not come in and dirty the door of my Jingzhao Yin Mansion!" ”
This was said bluntly and explicitly, Su Li didn't care what others said about herself, but she cared about Su Zhaoyue, and immediately threw a knife at Wei: "My second sister is virtuous and virtuous, and has never crossed the line, on the other hand, Zhang Ling, who is addicted to wine and asks flowers and willows all day long, as a man but has no achievements, is my second sister not on the stage or he can't be on the stage?" ”
Su Li said righteous words, and her momentum was far above Wei's, and Wei's was so angry that he was about to vomit blood. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, she has never heard of her sister-in-law going to her mother-in-law's house at the beginning of the new year to make trouble and scolding her sister's in-laws!
Who are these people?
Wei Shi trembled, his eyes widened with anger, and he was bloodshot: "Su Li, you have no respect, are you going to tear your face with me today, and cause your second sister to be Hughed and become an abandoned woman that everyone laughs at?" ”
"Divorce your wife? Not to mention that my second sister has never committed any of the seven outs, let me ask you a single question, this marriage is given by His Majesty himself, do you dare to write a letter of divorce? ”
Su Li asked leisurely, Zhang Ling and the Wei family have always relied on this marriage to be a royal gift, so they dared to treat Su Zhaoyue like this, and now Su Li returned these words to them as they were!
