Chapter XXIII
Li Xin'er couldn't sleep for a long time, her thoughts were rolling, in fact, she didn't know if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would let Wang Yuan go, she said those words to comfort Wang Yuan, and her sense of regret for Wang Yuan became stronger and stronger. If Wang Yuan hadn't saved himself, he would have lived a peaceful life, but now he was dragged into a situation of life and death by himself, but he didn't complain much about himself, this kind of person is really rare. Tonight's events are so dangerous, ordinary people are afraid that they are already worried about death, but this person seems to be very open-minded, which is a little inconsistent with his identity.
For some reason, Li Xin'er suddenly felt that such a person lying next to her was very down-to-earth, she had been doing her best for revenge for so many years, and the days hidden in Li Linfu's mansion were tense and dangerous, and she developed an attitude of suspicion about everything, and she often woke up in her sleep. But since arriving in this small courtyard, even though he is in pain, he has slept soundly every night, which is really strange.
At a certain moment, Li Xin'er occasionally had a thought in her mind, if she really married this person, it seemed to be very good, although she liked to be a big hero in her heart, but the attitude and sense of security shown by this person were also very attractive to herself.
"Erlang, are you asleep?" Li Xin'er shouted softly.
"Not yet, but soon." Wang Yuan said in a daze.
Li Xin'er was speechless, after this situation tonight, this person can still fall asleep, how big is his heart?
"Can you talk to me?"
"You say, I'll listen."
"Erlang, do you know what I thought in my heart when we worshiped heaven and earth today?"
"What do you think?"
"I was thinking that if my parents were alive and could see me married, they would be very happy."
“……”
"I'm also very sad that the master didn't come today, the master should have sat in the hall instead of his parents to receive the ceremony."
“……”
"What do you think my master would think if she knew that we were married?"
"Twelve Niang, don't think nonsense, we are fake marriage, what do you want to do so much? Wait until one day when you really get married, and then invite your master to receive the gift. Sleep, sleep, your injuries need to rest. Wang Yuan said in a daze.
Li Xin'er sighed secretly, closed her eyes, and after a while, Wang Yuan's snoring sounded in her ears, and Wang Yuan really fell asleep. Li Xin'er reached out with a ghostly hand, touched Wang Yuan's cheek, and quickly retracted it, Wang Yuan didn't notice anything, still snoring loudly. Li Xin'er tossed and turned for a long time before falling asleep.
……
It is said that there are wealthy families in Chang'an City who do not want to be harassed by the morning drums, and they have come up with the method of building a partition wall, filling straw and wheat straw in the middle to form a soundproof quiet room, which is quite effective. And the people's homes without this condition have also exercised a special function, that is, the drums of the city can go in and out of the left ear and out of the right ear, and they can fall asleep in the drums, which is more sweet.
Wang Yuan naturally didn't have this ability, although it was the day after his wedding, Wang Yuan had to get up early. Because of the marriage, he has been missing two days of night patrols, but asked the day shift to help him replace it. There is no statutory marriage leave these days, and it is okay to find someone to replace it, but it has to be returned. From today on, Wang Yuan will have to work day and night for two days in a row to make up for the errands he owes.
After washing, Wang Yuan went back to the room to look at Li Xin'er, who was still asleep, and said that her face was ruddy and her breathing was smooth, and she felt a lot more relieved. Although it was a fake marriage, Li Xin'er really tried her best to protect herself, which made Wang Yuan's prejudice against her eliminate a lot.
Wang Yuan is a person who does not want to regret it, and he always has to walk step by step to see when the matter has come to this point, Wang Yuan does not want to be so frightened that he shrinks into the room and does not know what to do, to paraphrase an old saying: Life has to go on.
Putting on the number one uniform and going out, Wang Yuanjing went to the shop on the cross street in the square to get the number plate, sticks, gongs and other things, and handed over to the fang ding on duty last night. When he took these standard equipment and went out, he bumped into a person who came through the door, and sat on the threshold with the butt of the person who came in.
Wang Yuan hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and secretly complained after seeing the person, it was Zhao Fangzheng, the soil emperor of Yong'an Fang, who was knocked down, and he was going to be scolded now.
"Oh, I'm sorry I can't live in Fangzheng, I'm in a hurry, I didn't hurt anything."
Zhao Fang was about to scold, and when he found out that it was Wang Yuan in front of him, suddenly the thunderstorm on his face turned clear: "Is it Wang Erlang?" The old man is looking for you. Where are you going? ”
Wang Yuan said: "I have delayed my two-day errand to get married, no, I will make up for it with a daily shift." ”
"Mo wen, Mo wen, go home and change clothes, come to my house, I have something to look for you." Zhao Fang was waving his hand.
"But ...... this errand?"
"The errand has its own top, go and change your clothes, don't rub it, there are distinguished guests waiting." Zhao Fangzheng urged.
Wang Yuan was a little puzzled, Zhao Fangzheng came to the house but wanted to see it by himself, and for some reason, he felt a little hairy in his heart, for fear that it was related to last night's incident. After thinking about it, I couldn't get the point, so I had to go back home first to discuss it with Li Xin'er. After entering the room, Li Xin'er had already gotten up, and was sitting in front of the dresser with her hair coiled, and it was not the same as a pro-hair ornament, she couldn't get it for a long time, and she was a little angry, and when she saw Wang Yuan coming in, she hurriedly said: "Erlang, this bun is really difficult to get." ”
Wang Yuan hurriedly took off his uniform, took out a new robe and said while wearing it: "I will do it slowly, Zhao Fangzheng suddenly asked me to go to his house, I don't know what it is, I am worried that it is related to the incident last night, saying that someone is waiting to see me at Zhao Fangzheng's house." ”
Li Xin'er frowned and thought for a while: "There should be nothing to do, Luo Yimen is a secret organization, and it has nothing to do with anyone, and it is impossible to alarm the people in the village." ”
Wang Yuanxin put it down, quickly sorted out his clothes, and guessed who would be waiting to see him.
Li Xin'er's hair that had been messing up for a long time was scattered again, and she said angrily: "Erlang, come and help me, my hair can't be tied up." ”
Wang Yuan Gu knotted himself and turned a deaf ear.
Li Xin'er stomped her feet and said, "You and I are husband and wife, don't you want to help the slave?" ”
"I'll pass by Saburo's house and call the eldest sister to help you later, but I'm not free now." Wang Yuan sorted out his clothes and walked out.
"Stop." Li Xin'er shouted, "Do you hate me like this? ”
Wang Yuan sneered: "Eldest sister, don't play with me, okay?" We are fake marriages, what do you want me to do? You don't have to test me, do you want to find an excuse to kill me? I won't touch you, and you won't try to deceive me again. ”
Wang Yuan turned to leave, Li Xin'er was stunned, and stomped her feet for a while: "This person is a papaya." ”
……
Wang Yuan hurriedly went out, followed the alley and walked to Zhao Fangzheng's mansion, and when he passed by the royal family, he called Huang Ying to help Li Xin'er coil her hair, and Huang Ying readily agreed.
Zhao Fangzheng's house is not the best house in Yong'an Fang, but it is the largest house, the Zhao family has more than a dozen shops on the cross street, among which there are several upper and lower shops are the original Wang Yuan's family property, the cheap price of 300 was sold to Zhao Fangzheng by the previous loser, and only Zhao Fangzheng has the strength and right to buy Wang Ji's coat and hat shop in Yong'an Fang.
Wang Yuan later knew this, and he also knew in his heart that this Zhao Fangzheng was not very authentic, and he must have bought it at a low price when he was in a hurry to use the money before, but there was nothing to say, after all, he was still in the future at that time.
Zhao Fang was anxiously standing in front of the wide porch and looking around, the fat housekeeper of the Zhao family was talking with him, and when he saw Wang Yuan coming from the alley, Zhao Fang was happy and beckoned to Wang Yuan.
The fat butler watched Wang Yuan cautiously step on the muddy road, walking slowly, and frowned: "You Wang Erlang, my master is in a hurry, what are you still rubbing?" ”
Zhao Fangzheng scolded: "Don't urge Erlang, the muddy road is slippery, what should I do if I fall?" ”
The fat butler was busy.
Wang Yuan mainly didn't want to stain the new blue robe, he was being run over by a car and horse on the snowmelt road, with a few inches of mud on his heels, and he would bring up the old high mud blocks when he walked faster, so he picked up the dry place and jumped across the street and came to the door of Zhao's courtyard.
"Steward Ma, why don't you fix the mud on Erlang's feet?" Zhao Fang was brushing his beard and said.
The fat housekeeper was stunned for a moment, but soon picked up the small bamboo shovel by the door without objection to shovel the mud on Wang Yuan's feet, Wang Yuan hurriedly said: "Don't dare, I'll come by myself." ”
Zhao Fangzheng waved his hand and said, "You don't care, Lao Ma is good at this." Erlang, when I meet this person, if he asks about the situation in our workshop, or asks about some things about the old man, you have to answer carefully. ”
Wang Yuan was puzzled: "Who wants to see me?" ”
Zhao Fangzheng said: "You will know when you go in and see me, can you remember my words?" Be careful when responding. ”
Wang Yuan smiled: "I understand, pick up the good ones." ”
Zhao Fangzheng picked up his big finger and said with a smile: "Yes, the son can be taught, he is worthy of being a person who has read a book, in Yong'an Fang, the old man is the most optimistic about you, it seems that it is right." ”
While speaking, the fat housekeeper had already repaired a few lumps of mud on Wang Yuan's shoes, Wang Yuan thanked him and followed Zhao Fangzheng into the house. The front yard of Zhao's house is very open, the bluestone road leads directly to the main hall, and there are rockery fish ponds built on both sides, and the evergreen trees are dotted with snow covers, which is actually a garden.
Stepping on the steps of the main hall, Zhao Fangzheng arched his hand and smiled: "Manager Liu, you are in a hurry, Wang Erlang in my workshop has already come." ”
There was a man standing up in the hall, who was wearing a black cotton robe, a fox fur hat, a white beard several inches long, and a handsome face, an old man of about fifty. When Wang Yuan saw it, he didn't know this person at all, and he was a little stunned.
"Don't be rude, I've seen Steward Liu." Zhao Fangzheng urged in a low voice, turned his head and smiled at the man: "The young man in the market doesn't understand etiquette, and Steward Liu is not surprised." ”
Only then did Wang Yuan bow and say, "I've seen Steward Liu." ”
The old man smiled and returned the salute, looked Wang Yuan up and down a few times, and said, "You are Wang Yuan's son?" ”
Wang Yuan nodded and said: "It's here, I don't know who the honorable driver is, forgive me for taking the liberty of it, we don't seem to have met." ”
The old man stroked his beard and smiled, looked at Zhao Fangzheng and said, "Zhao Fangzheng, can you allow me to talk to Wang Gongzi alone?" ”
Zhao Fang was busy saying: "Of course, of course, the old decay has retired." Steward Ma, tell everyone in the hall to go down. ”
The old man waved his hand and said, "Don't bother, Wang Gongzi and I can just walk around the courtyard." ”
