Chapter 8: The Woman in Red
When I was a little more conscious, I tried to open my eyes and found myself lying on the bed, as if in an inn or restaurant.
I remembered that I had encountered danger in the Imperial City, and I had used all my strength to catch an arrow that had been fired at Gentle, and then I passed out.
It's just that in the coma, I had many nightmares, big and small, but now I can't remember.
I saw Gentle move the wooden basin in front of me along with the shelf, and told me to sit up, wash my face, and sober up my senses.
"You're finally awake. Get up, wash your face, and bring it back to dinner. ”
After saying gently, I sat up, and I sat on the bed and washed my face.
"Ah (), it's so hot."
Gently open your eyes, close your eyes and say playfully.
"Ah, I forgot to add cold water, I'm sorry."
"Wow, this hot water can literally scald me, will Miss Wen take care of people!"
I looked at me uncomfortably and said gently.
Gentleness was a little angry.
"Hmph, it's always been someone else who takes care of this girl, this time it's cheaper for you, and you dare to complain about me."
Also, after all, the gentle background is the eldest lady. In this way, it is definitely not suitable for taking care of people.
Gentle opened his palm and slapped it towards the basin shelf, and the shelf slid to the corner of the wall along with the basin, and the water in the basin did not move at all. It's scary.
"It's amazing. Alright, alright, thank you. ”
Gently hugged each other: "Hmph, who rarely thanks me." You see that I am strong in martial arts, and you are afraid that I will teach you a lesson, right? ”
I shook my head and said, "Of course not, although Miss Wen is strong in martial arts, she is also a person with clear grievances, how can she bully people casually?" ”
Gently nodded and looked at me.
"I love to hear that."
"By the way, we're here?" I asked gently, confused.
"I was about to tell you. You fainted and were in an emergency, when a girl flew down and saved us. ”
"Why did this girl save us? Do you know who she is? ”
Gentle shook her head.
"It was so dark that I could only see her face wearing a mask. She helped me get you out of the palace, and when she saw that you were safe and sound, she left. ”
I rubbed my chin and wondered who had saved me.
I looked at the gentleness.
"You brought me to this restaurant?"
"Of course, if it weren't for saving you, I would have chased after her to see who she really was."
I clenched my fists in thanks.
"Thank you Gentle Girl for saving me."
Gentle looked at me a little shyly.
"Shouldn't I be so fierce to you, but you saved my life."
"It's okay, I know you don't mean it. And you're really cute. It's really infuriating. ”
Gentle hands crossed on the waist and smiled: "I thought you were stupid, but I didn't expect that what you said was quite good!" ”
Sure enough, the country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change. Her words were still prickly.
"Hey, it's good that you're okay, I thank you for saving my life, and I will sacrifice my life to save you in the future!"
Miss Wen gave up her life to save me. When I heard this, I hurriedly waved my hand.
"Don't, don't, don't let yourself be hurt for me. I don't know how long I'll be here. ”
Gently and suspiciously, he looked at me.
"What do you mean, where are you going?"
"Nothing." I wanted to say it, but I couldn't tell her, it really made me feel torn.
"You're always twisting and twisting, but we're also friends in life and death." Gently pouted and looked at me.
"Trust me, I'll tell you when the time comes."
I woke up in the morning and after eating some food, I quickly regained my strength. That afternoon, I sat in the lobby of the restaurant with Wen Wen, drinking and chatting.
I saw that on a table in the corner, only one person was seated. There were no big fish or dishes on the table, just a few jugs of wine.
This person is kind and slightly fat, and he is quietly drinking wine there, and his face is not red or moist. There seems to be a sense of sacredness, and there are more and more empty flasks next to it.
"Gentle, you see, that man only drinks wine, not food, and is so good that he can drink. The flasks are already piling up. ”
Gentleness pointed at the man.
"This person is the drunkard Li Shunchang, one of the most capable people in the world."
I nodded, stunned as he watched.
"You know a lot. By the way, I haven't asked you why you always dress as a man. ”
After speaking, the gentle gentleness on his face, which had always been happy and bright, suddenly felt a little sad.
"My family wants me to marry, and I have never seen the man I married. So I ran away from home. ”
Gently drank the wine in one gulp and said: "Girl's house, it is inconvenient to walk the rivers and lakes, I will pretend to be a boy, and I can also flirt with beautiful girls, haha." ”
......
It turned out to be to avoid marriage
"I don't know what you'll look like when you put on your daughter's outfit. I really can't think of it. ”
Gently smiled and pointed at me.
"You want to be beautiful, so I won't change it. We are friends of life and death, and I want to be brothers with you even more, haha. ”
I didn't speak, shook my head, and began to drink.
Just as I was talking to Wen Wen, Li Shunchang asked Xiao Er to put twenty pots of wine on the table, neatly arranging them on the table.
The wine jugs piled up on the table, Xiao Er ran back and forth several times before he took them all away, tired and sweating profusely but helpless.
"It's too good to drink!" Gentle looked at Dao in surprise.
"This amount of alcohol is average, I try hard, I guess I can drink so much."
I don't know who said these words to give me confidence, but I did want to try it out with this drunkard.
Besides, the taste of these wines is not spicy, but it is still slightly stronger than water, and if it is drunk as water, it is nothing more than someone who drinks water faster.
Gentleness turned her head to look at me in surprise.
"Really? If you can win him, I'll promise you to put on a daughter's outfit. Do you dare to bet with this girl? ”
I looked at Li Shunchang, and then at Gentleness. Originally, I just said casually, since I said it gently, I'm afraid I'm going to start.
"I'm not sure, but you can try, and if it works, you can't go back."
He patted his chest gently and said, "A word is a certainty." (deliberately loud) Little two, come to twenty pots of wine. ”
Twenty jugs of this wine doesn't make me drunk, but it does break my stomach.
"Okay!" Although Xiao Er's face was very happy, I heard him whisper, this one is difficult enough to serve, why come another one.
I'm afraid there is already a shadow in my heart.
Li Shunchang heard the gentle voice, raised his head slightly, and glanced at us on his eyelids.
"Good wine is to be drunk, not wasted." Li Shunchang looked at us.
I faced Li Shunchang and said, "I don't know if this brother is willing to compare with me?" If you win, I will listen to your advice and give it all to you without wasting a pot of wine. ”
Li Shunchang snorted and said, "It's boring." How do you compare? ”
I looked at the twenty jugs of wine and said, "How about we drink the ten jugs first?" ”
After speaking, Li Shunchang picked up a pot of wine and drank it wildly.
"You've already drunk so much, do you want to take a break?"
After Li Shunchang drank the wine, he put it on the table.
"It's all men, why bother mother-in-law, I'm just getting started, don't worry. Hurry up. ”
Xiao Er cleaned up an empty table, and placed ten pots of fine wine on each side. The people around gradually gathered to watch the excitement, and the game began immediately.
In what seemed like a comical game, I didn't have a certain advantage in drinking, but I drank a little faster than him.
Soon, the game was decided.
I outsized him by a jug of wine.
I hiccuped. My stomach is really a little stretched.
"I've drunk ten bowls of wine, and you still have one pot left."
Li Shunchang looked at the wine jug on my table, and then at his last pot of wine.
Gentle looked at me in amazement.
"Small wins, small wins. I really didn't see how fast you drank. ”
Li Shunchang sighed.
"You're still a little bit better, amazing. The title of drunkard, I, Li Shunchang, will give it to you today. ”
I hurriedly shook my head, I don't want such an ugly title, if it is a wine fairy, I am afraid I can still hold it.
"You're welcome. I'm just a fluke, and I don't dare to take the title of drunkard. ”
Li Shunchang shook his head and returned to his position.
I looked at Gentle and said, "Gentle, don't forget our bet." ”
Wen Rou and I walked to the counter, settled today's meal money first, and then went back to the room and let Wen Rou change into a daughter's outfit.
But Xiao Er told us that someone had already settled the meal money. The person who checked out for us hadn't left yet, and was lingering in the hall.
We followed Xiao Er's guidance and saw a woman in red standing in front of the door, slender and colorful. My eyes straightened.
Gently kicked me and said, "Hey, can you just rely on your good looks to make your own decisions and settle accounts for others casually?" ”
The woman in red slowly walked forward, and the fragrance was really charming.
If you want to compare with her and Master Xueqing, she is naturally no worse than them. It's a little more beautiful than them, it's really tempting.
There is a beauty mole in the lower left corner of the left eye. Wearing a gold ring like vines around his neck, it looks like a lot of money.
A golden butterfly sits in the middle of the chest of the dress.
The upper body and lower body of the red dress are separated, and she perfectly presents a proud figure in her well-dressed.
If you want to describe the woman in front of you in a poem.
Only "the dance turns back to the red sleeves, and the song looks forward to the horizontal waves." to describe.
Looking at me gently, looking at the eyes of the woman in red, I was a little angry.
The woman smiled seductively.
"Thank you for the compliment. After seeing the demeanor of the two sons, they can't bear to let the two sons break the bank. ”
"Dare to ask the girl's name?" I looked at the woman in red and said.
"People call me Ji Mi'er, and everyone else calls me Xiao Mi'er." Ji Mi'er looked at me very charmingly.
"Girl, we don't know each other, we should settle the money for this meal by ourselves, and we don't dare to let the girl don't care."
Ji Miel slowly approached me.
"Why is the son so polite, and he doesn't have a lot of money, (with a smile) Who is not the knot."
What a charming and charming woman, who can withstand this!
As she spoke, she threw strange winks at me, and even put her hand on my shoulder and stroked my hand with her other hand.
I was a little frightened and couldn't bear it.
I took a step back and unhooked her arm. I didn't dare look her in the eye.
Her eyes are really fascinating, and she doesn't even dare to touch a little afterglow.
If you want to classify the beauty of Xueqing as gentle and considerate, and the beauty of the teacher as sad and moving, the beauty of Mi'er is charming beings.
Gentle was very aggressive, pretending to be a playboy, and went around Ji Mier, looking up and down.
Ji Miel stepped forward again, touched my hand, and handed me a letter.
"By the way, someone asked me to hand over this letter to you yesterday, a thousand instructions, ten thousand instructions, tell me not to delay the hour."
As soon as I took the letter, I put my hands back.
"Give it to me? And who is it? Besides, how do you know it's me? ”
Ji Mi'er smiled at me: "Anyway, people just know that this is a letter to you, and as for who it is, people don't know very well." ”
I nodded, tucking the letter into my clothes.
"Then thank you, girl."
"You're welcome. I'm going to Hangzhou, the two sons are handsome, if you go to Hangzhou one day, you must come to Yanhong Pavilion to find me. With that, he threw me a wink.
"People still have to hurry, one step ahead."
"Sue ..... Farewell. "If I look at her directly, I'm afraid my heart will be taken away in a while.
After saying that, Ji Mier turned back to me and asked me.
"Does Childe have any concerns? Why do you prefer to say goodbye instead of saying that there will be a period later? ”
I shook my head.
"It's just a word, the girl is too careful."
Ji Mier left the restaurant, stood in the street, turned back and glanced at me again, then turned and boarded the carriage.
After the person left, the lingering fragrance was not dispersed. The people in the restaurant all looked unsatisfied, and stretched their necks to look out.
There were even several people who looked at me with envy and jealousy, which made me shudder.
Gently kicked me and said, "Have you seen enough?" It's demonic. Well, the posture is seductive. ”
I patted my leg and looked gentle.
"Gentle, how do I think, when you see a good-looking girl, you are even more fascinated than me."
"Everyone has a love for beauty. When this girl sees her good-looking sister, she wants to take a few more looks, can't you? ”
"Okay, okay, of course. After the meal, let's go back to rest and rest, and you can change this man's clothes too. ”
Gently nodded, motioning for me to wait for her outside the door.
Gently walk into the room and close the doors and windows.
I stood outside the door and opened the letter that Jimiel had handed me, signed by three ??? Little Fox ???
Okay, I don't care about it, I'll open the letter and see what's written.
The letter told me that the first fragment had already been obtained, and that the second and third fragments were in Yanfu and Gaofu in Bianjing, respectively.
Why are these things in such a dangerous place every time.
Yanfu is okay, after all, I know Second Brother Yan, and if I get through the tricks, I can get in. But the high mansion in Bianjing City is not so easy to enter.
It's just that I can enter the Imperial City, and these are not necessarily more difficult to enter than the Imperial City.
I don't know what will happen next.
I thought about it for a long time outside the door, and it seemed that Gentleness hadn't changed his clothes yet.
Forget it, let's wait.
Gentleness finally opened the door and I walked inside. Gentle looked at me a little embarrassed, as if waiting for my evaluation.
Dressed in a daughter's outfit, she is beautiful and heroic, lively and cute, and has an innocent and innocent feminine atmosphere, and a frank and honest chivalrous spirit.
I looked at it for a moment and smiled.
"It's good, it's good, isn't it? It's perfect for you. Throw away that men's outfit. ”
Gentle frowned and pouted a little unhappy.
"I don't. I'll put it on and show you, if you want to say that it's more convenient to go out into the rivers and lakes, it's more convenient to dress up as a man. ”
I rubbed my chin and thought about it.
"That's just as well. There are many things in the world, and it is too unfair to women, so it's okay. ”
After hearing what I said, I was gentle and happy.
"You don't have to worry about that, whether it's a man or a woman, I think it's fun."
It dawned on me.
"By the way, I suddenly remembered. What about my two swords? ”
"Don't worry, two swords are in your house. This girl asks you, why is one of the two swords so heavy? It took almost all of my internal force to move it to the wall. There is also a sword engraved with the words Ye Xueqing, she is also a girl, right? ”
"To tell you the truth, she is a girl I met in Sanqing Mountain, and she has saved my life. As for the other sword, it's just that it's just heavier. ”
Gentle blushed.
"Hey, how do you suddenly become so gentle when you talk? Isn't it interesting to others? ”
I waved.
"Don't don't, Xueqing girl Bingqing Yujie, I have a great favor that has not been repaid, and I dare not have any wrong thoughts."
Gentle nodded.
"In any case, you and I can still be called brothers, so as not to be misunderstood."
......
Okay, that's fine, so as not to be misunderstood.
I nodded.
In the face of my daughter's gentleness, I was a little uncomfortable, and I couldn't speak as openly and freely as before.
Gentle also seems to be a little nervous, deliberately raising her voice when she speaks, easing and hiding her emotions.
"Gentle, you said before that your family has already married you?"
Gentle and somewhat careless.
"They planned to do so, and they were probably deceived by people's rhetoric. How could this girl marry someone she had never met before? ”
I touched my head.
"So what kind of person is he? Have you heard of it before? ”
Gentle and a little careless, I'm afraid I really don't like this person.
"What is Li Gongmao's name, but he has some family power, and he also has some reputation in the court and the rivers and lakes, I heard that his martial arts are extraordinary, and he is indeed a gentleman."
I touched my chin and said, "It sounds like this person has a complicated background and a stubborn personality, and I'm really worried about what will happen if you marry him." ”
Gentle looked at it and smiled.
"Then what kind of person do you think this girl should marry?"
I thought about it for a moment.
"I think you should marry someone who understands what you think in your heart, accompanies you to do what you want to do, and even does not hesitate to sacrifice your life for you."
Wen Wen smiled a little malicefully.
"Give your life for me? You're talking about it, huh? ”
I shook my head calmly.
"I didn't say it was me. I think you should be more gentle sometimes, so that you don't turn people out. ”
Suddenly gently grabbed my ear, I'm afraid that it will be easier than just being kicked in the future.
"I'm not gentle? You repeat! Am I gentle or not? ”
"Wen ..... Gentle. As the name suggests, people are the most gentle in the world. Loosen it quickly. ”
It's really merciful, and it will be red and swollen after a while.
Wen Wen and I stayed in the restaurant for a few days, because there was something important to do, so I first chose the Gaofu of Bianjing City, which is close to it, as the goal. In the past few days, I had to wander around in Bianjing City every day, so I inquired about the information of Gaofu.
