Chapter 30: Sickness

The first time Zhu Yi saw Li Xi'er was when the begonia flowers were blooming. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The picture in front of him was very beautiful, and he could still remember this scene many years later, because she appeared in his sight with the begonia flower, and he stared at her for a long time, only remembering her smile, just like the moving of the pink and snowy begonia flower. According to the people of the Li Mansion, there is Miss Six living in this small courtyard, so you don't have to think much about who this pink little Lori is.

At that time, Xiao Xi'er was doing a small "experiment" with buttons under the begonia flowers with Yuzhu bloodline, and the buttons in her hand were white jade Buddha hand buttons, which were worth a lot of money, and they were taken from Mrs. Li's clothes, but she didn't understand the value of hand buttons, she cared about these, and picked up the buttons after the "experiment" and looked at them.

Zhu Yi couldn't help but think of the popular love poems in Jiangnan. In the poem, the button is a kind of love token, especially the second button because it is close to the heart, the woman takes it off and gives it to the man, and hangs it around the neck to show that the heart is imprinted, and the meaning is extremely beautiful.

She had a button in her hand.

What style? Gold-plated buckles, or silver-plated buckles? Or is it a burnt blue buckle? This may not be important, Zhu Yi is not looking at buttons, he is looking at a person, he thinks that when she grows up, which lover will the buttons in his hand be given to?

Zhu Yi smiled and looked at it without speaking.

"Master?" Wang Jian peeked at his master a few times, and an unbelievable thought came to his heart, Zhu Yi is very likely to be a good prostitute. For some wealthy families now, a good prostitute can be regarded as an elegant thing, there is nothing unspeakable, and the Ming Dynasty has no clear laws to oppose, the emperor has such an interest, and Wang Jian is used to it after seeing more.

Wang Jian suppressed the doubts in his heart, and whispered beside him: "Master, that little girl looks like she is only six or seven years old, although she is delicate, but the Nian Commission for Discipline Inspection is too young, I'm afraid it is...... But, master, if you are really a good prostitute, forgive Li Fu and dare not disagree! ”

The princes and grandsons in the capital also have a lot of good beautiful maids, good prostitutes, and good pear orchards, hooking up with beautiful children to have fun together, lingering back and forth, and having fun with each other. It's just that Zhu Yi spent most of the time when he was a child, and he worshiped under the disciple of Zhou Side, a great virtue and Taoist master, which was quite different from those kings and grandchildren.

His master Zhou Side is not an ordinary Taoist priest, and the Yuan Dynasty Taoist Wu Quanjie, Zhang Weiyi, and the forty-eighth generation of the Ming Dynasty Heavenly Master Zhang Yan are all people who have won the highest honor of Taoism. Barefoot Zhang traveled all over the world, did not wear shoes in winter and spring, so his Daomen was called barefoot Zhang, and later generations called him Zhang Sanfeng.

Zhu Yi thinks that he is half of Zhang Sanfeng's apprentice.

Due to the influence of Zhou Side's Taoist thought in the early years, and later the great Confucianism came to teach him etiquette, Zhu Yi couldn't accept the practice of prostitution, not to mention that he hadn't married yet, he would never think of prostitution, he turned his head to look at Wang Jian for a while, raised his eyebrows and said:

"You just said, prostitution?"

"Yes." Wang Jian nodded.

Zhu Yi smiled: "You really dare to say? I heard from the Li family that the sixth lady of the Li family was only six years old. ”

Wang Jian replied expressionlessly: "Master, what's this, don't you know the situation in various places, in some places, twelve-year-old girls get married, and there are even earlier situations, have you heard a joke?" ”

"Tell me about it."

"Yes. The joke is that there was a feudal official who adopted an orphan girl, who was only six or seven years old, and lived together for one or two years. The daughter was only a few years old, wasn't she also broken, and finally she was pregnant, but the funny thing was that he saw the orphan girl's belly swelling slightly, and thought that she had some disease, so he invited a doctor to come and see it, and spread it out for the world to listen to as a joke. ”

"Shut up!" Zhu Yi was a little angry, thinking of the figure under the begonia flower, as if a certain part of her heart had been defiled, which was not a good taste. Maybe he felt that although this behavior was shameful, it was not a crime, so he didn't bother to say it to Wang Jianduo, and finally he only said, "I'm not good at this!" I just think of my sister. ”

Wang Jian thought that Zhu Yi was embarrassed, and said very seriously: "Master, with all due respect, don't you have a sister, and I haven't seen you close?" In fact, although it is difficult for the master to talk about a good child, there is really nothing, Su Dongpo also laughed and said that his old friend has a pear flower pressing begonia. ”

"Don't say any more."

Zhu Yi was almost not angry, and looked at Wang Jian directly, this Wang Jian is strong in martial arts and quite brave, but his head is not bright enough.

As he spoke, he was startled by the sudden sound of footsteps outside.

The person who came was Li Ting, whom he had seen, and when he looked back, Li Ting was already close in front of him. Zhu Yi's face was a little green, should it be so scary, how could this Li Ting walk like a ghost, his steps were so light that he seemed to be floating, and he could only hear some sound when he was close.

Li Ting is younger than him, but he is a head lower than him, and his expression looks very mature.

Now Zhu Yi only felt embarrassed, and unexpectedly let people bump into what he was talking about, the object was still the six-year-old lady of the Li family, the other party's sister-in-law, and wanted to quickly turn around and leave, but she couldn't take a step away with her face. The culprit Wang Jian stood aside without saying a word, and he saw that Wang Jian's heart was cut to death.

Mother's retarded.

Li Ting walked to the gate of the courtyard, stopped and looked at the courtyard, and saw that his sister was playing with the maid, and then seemed to understand something, turned his head to look at Zhu Yi, and paused before talking to him.

"Child?"

“……”

"My sister?"

“……”

Zhu Yi was speechless.

Li Ting looked at Zhu Yi and couldn't help but be silent, he remembered that Zhu Houzhao of Ming Wuzong was messing with the little eunuch, and Emperor Jiajing had a virgin relationship with the Taoist priest, but he didn't expect this Zhu Yi to be the same obscene. He stared at him, frowned slightly, and said coldly, "Understood." ”

I understand your sister! Zhu Yiqing felt like eating a fly, and took a deep breath, "It's not what you imagined, I heard that milk tea comes from here, so I wanted to come and have a look." ”

Li Ting was stunned and glanced at Zhu Yi a few times, it didn't seem like he was lying. His expression couldn't help but be a little strange, but he didn't chase and ask, he couldn't figure out what Zhu Yi was thinking, so he quickly gave up and continued to think about it, and went into the courtyard to see his sister.

Zhu Yi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw it, he found that he was a little afraid of Li Ting, and he was unhappy when he thought of this.

Why should he be afraid of Li Ting? He's here to taste the milk tea. He looked up at the courtyard where the Lin family was, his mouth seemed to be spreading the smell of milk tea, and he should go back for the sake of milk tea, so he raised his feet and followed closely, and said to Wang Jian in a deep voice: "You stand outside and wait." ”

Wang Jian bowed his head and promised.

Zhu Yi has been thinking about how to explain to Li Ting, what he said honestly, would Li Ting not believe it? is also, when he talks about prostitution, how can others believe that he is not good? Behind Li Ting, he thought that his head was big. Later, he thought to himself, he is not rare in fame, why should he explain to him that prostitution is good, he does like Li Xi'er a little.

But Li Ting didn't ask about the child at all.

"Second brother, can you tell me, why are the buttons missing?"

As soon as she entered the door, Li Xi'er threw herself into his arms with a smile.

Li Ting smiled and hugged his sister, watching her long eyelashes flash. Seeing the dirt on her body again, she shook her head and smiled, "Look at you, your spring shirt is dirty!" ”

It's quiet here, as if Zhu Yi and his arrival have become a disturbance.

Zhu Yi looked at Li Xi'er intently, took her eyes away from Li Xi'er, and fell on Li Ting again, the dark color of his body and her spring shirt swaying slightly in the wind, as if she was very dependent on him.

Li Ting put down his sister, then looked at Zhu Yi, did not hang this distinguished guest, and said softly, "Yuzhu, Xuemei, you cook some milk tea to entertain Zhu Gongzi." With that, he turned his head to pinch his sister's nose.

Yuzhu is the maid who was molested by Li Hongyun. Zhu Yi still regarded her as Li Ting's personal maid when she saw her, but this time in front of him, Yuzhu actually had a new skill, which was to make milk tea. He was free and easy, and took a few sips cheekily.

Li Ting didn't speak, so he sat face to face with Zhu Yi in the pavilion in the courtyard, Li Xi'er didn't recognize Zhu Yi, and only served as a guest brought by the second brother. Xuemei and Yuzhu knew Zhu Yi's identity, and watched from the side, worried that the hospitality was not good, and they were even more worried that Li Ting and Miss Li would make Zhu Yi unhappy. Yuzhu remembered Xuemei's words, didn't look at Zhu Yi, and was silent, Xuemei winked at Li Ting for a long time, hoping that Li Ting would say a few words.

"The second young master is usually very smart, why can't he speak today? Wouldn't the second young master be scared in front of Zhu Yi? ”

Xuemei was secretly anxious in her heart, and looked down at Li Ting. Li Ting raised his head and met her eyes, as if he understood her thoughts, he couldn't help but be a little funny, raised his teacup and drank it to Zhu Yi, and said, "It seems that I blamed my son for what happened just now, and I am here to make amends." ”

Zhu Yi coughed lightly and hurriedly concealed her embarrassment.

Xuemei was slightly stunned, this scene looked a little unbelievable...... Why does it seem that there are some secrets between Li Ting and Zhu Yi, like a friend, with her intelligence, she can't understand what the young master's words mean, she has never seen the young master and Zhu Yi have a relationship, why did Zhu Yi suddenly come with the young master?

Zhu Yi said: "I am the one who should make amends." ”

Li Ting raised his eyes and looked at Zhu Yi, but he didn't see the usual commanding look of those sons of the family from Zhu Yi, which was quite different from the appearance of not caring about people when they met for the first time, and suddenly felt that the typical two-faced style of Zhu Yi, the son of the Zhu family, was actually quite to his taste.

In the afternoon of late spring, the breeze was blowing, the sunset was full of sky, Li Xi'er curled up, still half-lying on his lap, the pink fat little hand leaned on his arm, and began to count the begonia flowers, one after another on Li Ting's body. Her arms were very warm, the touch was very obvious, and there was a very good smell of flowers, Li Ting remembered what Zhu Yi said at this time, and he couldn't help but feel helpless.

Even he was affected by this evil old society......
