Chapter 217: Night Reading
Shangguan Yi stood in place in a daze, watching Cheng Lianjin intently handle official business, ignoring her for a long time, Shangguan Yi's face showed a slight sense of loneliness: "Since Lianjin has business to do, then I'll come over another day." Shangguan Yi said and was about to turn around and leave.
"Come back!" Cheng Lianjin, who was handling official business with his head down, stopped Shangguan Yi in a cold tone.
Shangguan Yi stopped, turned around with a blank face, and looked at Cheng Lianjin.
Cheng Lianjin put down the pen in his hand, slowly raised his head, and looked at Shangguan Yi, who hadn't seen him for a few days, Cheng Lianjin's pale face was as pale as frost, he lost a lot of weight, and his sharp and cold eyes looked at Shangguan Yi tightly: "Don't go out recently, just tell Yu Sheng about anything in the future." ”
At this time, Shangguan Yi burst into tears, and was so excited that he couldn't extricate himself: "Ha Lianjin, are you really willing to go back and marry me?"
Shangguan Yi was overjoyed and walked forward quickly, stretched out his hand and hugged Cheng Lianjin's shoulder: "Lianjin." The coquettish tone hugged Cheng Lianjin tightly.
"Lian Jin, I knew you wouldn't leave me alone, and I knew we would have such a day. Shangguan Yi was overjoyed, tears welled up in his eyes, and the whole person who was excited was at a loss.
Cheng Lianjin was hugged tightly by Shangguan Yi and frowned, and there was an angry look on his cold and arrogant face: "Okay, you go out first, I still have something to do." ”
When Shangguan Yi heard this, he immediately let go of Cheng Lianjin, stood up quickly, and put away the radical movements: "Oh! Then you are busy first, and I will go back first." ”
Shangguan Yi said with a joyful smile still on his face.
Shangguan Yi turned around and walked towards the door, running two times and looking at Cheng Lianjin reluctantly at work, with a sweet smile on his face.
"I must inform my father of this matter, so that he can prepare a rich dowry for me. Shangguan Yi was even more overjoyed when she thought of this, and she was about to jump up excitedly.
After Shangguan Yi left, Cheng Lianjin looked pale and sad and lonely, slowly raised his head, looked at the door, and secretly felt sad, he let out a long sigh: "Ahem, cough." He covered his mouth with his hand and coughed vigorously.
After a moment, he calmed down and frowned tightly. There was a trace of worry on his face, "Qin Muyao, why did you get out of bed?" Han Le walked to Qin Muyao with a bowl of porridge, and looked at Qin Muyao sitting neatly dressed at the desk, with all kinds of medical books and materials in front of her face, and the whole person was buried in the pile of books, concentrating on studying it.
Qin Muyao slowly raised her head and saw Han Le standing in front of her with a bowl of porridge, her serious face showed a trace of calmness: "It's much better, the plague is raging in the city now, and many people are struggling to make a living, I want to quickly develop some ways to alleviate the plague." ”
"Qin Muyao... This kind of thing is what the government should do, you can't sleep at night, how can you solve it by yourself alone?"
"Smack!" Qin Muyao angrily threw the book in his hand on the table, and sighed deeply: "Official, if a corrupt official like Bai Yuqing comes to govern it, I'm afraid this city will become an empty city." After Qin Muyao finished speaking, she picked up the book in her hand again, hesitated for a moment, and bit her lip lightly: "Now I can only take one step at a time." After Qin Muyao finished speaking, she sighed again, as the new shopkeeper and chief doctor of Jurentang, she couldn't stand idly by.
The words of the old man in red in the dream, she still doesn't know much about it, since she has come here, in order to resurrect Chun Dye, she can only work hard to face all this bravely in front of her.
"Young master, young master. Yu Sheng ran into Cheng Lianjin's room in a panic.
Cheng Lianjin was really handling official business at the desk, and when he saw Yu Sheng's panicked expression, he frowned: "What's the matter?"
Yu Sheng walked in front of Cheng Lianjin and stood breathlessly: "The young master is not good, the plague in the city is getting more and more serious, and a lot of people have died, you are still going out less recently." ”
Cheng Lianjin slowly put down the pen in his hand and frowned tightly.
Yu Sheng breathed a long sigh of relief and continued to reply: "The young master, Bai Yuqing, has hidden the imperial court, and the city has been sealed for several days, and the people are miserable, if this continues, we are afraid that we will be trapped in the city by him." ”
"Smack! Bai Yuqing. Cheng Lianjin was furious, and after hearing Yu Sheng's words, he slapped the table angrily.
Cheng Lianjin and Bai Yuqing have known each other since childhood, Bai Yuqing has always been ruthless and resolute, and he can do anything for his own strength, although the two are in Los Angeles together, Cheng Lianjin has never dealt with Bai Yuqing.
Later, he also suspected that the black-clothed people who died last time Xiaobao should be Bai Yuqing's people.
Because Bai Yuqing's thoughts about Shangguan Yi were seen very early, and not long after Shangguan Yi came to Los Angeles, she was so bold and reckless here, there will definitely be someone to support her in the future, and everything she does is so thoughtful and flawless, Shangguan Yi's character must not be thought of.
So the person behind Shangguan Yi should be Bai Yuqing.
After Cheng Lianjin heard Yu Sheng's report, he was silent for a moment: "Prepare a sedan chair! I want to meet this Bai Yuqing." Cheng Lianjin got up as he spoke.
Yu Sheng looked dazed: "Young master, are you going to see Bai Yuqing?" ”
Yu Sheng didn't say anything more, what he wanted to say was, "Master, hasn't your old man always been disenchanted by him? Why did you suddenly go to see him? Besides, the two of you used to be rivals in love." Isn't it a blade and a sword shadow when you meet, how can you fight?"
The corners of Yu Sheng's mouth twitched when he thought of this, and three lines of sweat silently flowed down his forehead, "The young master is late at night, and the wind is blowing outside, should we go another day?" Yu Sheng deliberately wanted to stop him.
Cheng Lianjin hurriedly got up and stood up, put on his coat, and walked towards the door: "It's okay." ”
Qin Muyao read at night, still looking for a cure for the plague, Han Le walked up to Qin Muyao and took a cup of tea: "Qin Muyao, can I do something for you?" Han Le felt pity when he saw Qin Muyao working like this
"I'm afraid that if you continue like this, I'm afraid there will be problems, do you want to go to the court?" replied a burly man with a long sword in his hand.
Bai Yuqing frowned, stopped, supported his chin with one hand, thought carefully, and raised his head after a while: "Bury those corpses first, don't startle the snake for the time being, wait first." ”
Bai Yuqing knew very well that if he played the imperial court, the emperor would definitely be angry, and at that time, his position as the lord of a city might not be kept.
Bai Yuqing's eyes showed a strange gaze, and he secretly thought in his heart: "It seems that we have to think of a foolproof plan as soon as possible." ”
When the two were talking, someone knocked on the door outside the house, Bai Yuqing frowned, looked out of the door, he was stunned, and eased his mind: "Come in!"
At this time, a little scholar walked in, and walked in front of Bai Yuqing with his head down: "My lord! ”
"Oh, Cheng Lianjin?" Bai Yuqing was a little surprised when he heard Cheng Lianjin coming.
"Why is he here?" Bai Yuqing was suspicious, Cheng Lianjin had never had too much friendship with him, and Cheng Lianjin's arrival made him a little sudden.
Bai Yuqing frowned, hesitated for a moment, dragged his chin with one hand, and slowly raised his head: "Let him in." ”
The little scholar nodded and immediately turned around and walked out the door.
Bai Yuqing glanced at the burly man with a long sword in his hand: "You go out first." ”
"Yes!" the burly man turned around and quickly left Bai Yuqing's room.
Bai Yuqing turned around and quickly walked to the desk and sat down.
At this time, Bai Yuqing's door was pushed open, and he was dressed in a light blue tulle silk robe, with a mink cloak draped over his shoulders. There was a kind of breeze that came slowly, and walked quickly in front of Bai Yuqing.
"Yo, Young Master Hua, what kind of wind blew you? Please take a seat. Bai Yuqing pretended to greet him quickly, bypassed the desk, and walked to Cheng Lianjin: "Come on, please" Bai Yuqing greeted him with a smile.
"Lord Bai doesn't have to be polite. Cheng Lianjin still maintained a cold and arrogant and lonely look.
"Oh, Lianjin, it seems that you came here to discuss something important with me?" Bai Yuqing turned to look at Cheng Lianjin.
"Lord Bai, we have known each other for many years, Hua Mou is blunt, the reason why I came to see Lord Bai is because of the recent plague in the city, Hua Mou heard that the Lord sealed the city gate because of the plague?
Bai Yuqing frowned, looking at Cheng Lianjin and asking him in such a tone, he was indeed a little angry in his heart, and after a while, a smile appeared on his face: "HeheheheLianjin, we are old acquaintances, don't you know me yet?" I always worry too much, I am afraid that the court will blame me, and I am afraid that the people will be dissatisfied with me, the lord of this city!" Bai Yuqing said with a sad expression on his face, and he turned around and sat on the mahogany bench next to the round table: " You also know that this plague is coming quickly, and it is for their good that I sealed the city gates, after all, these people are my people, aren't they? If they leave the city and are displaced and have no support from me, their parents, won't they have to sleep on the streets?"
"Then why hasn't there been an order to distribute medicine to the people in need? Do you want all the people in the city to die? This is what you did as a parent official?" Cheng Lianjin looked at Bai Yuqing angrily, with an angry expression.
"Presumptuous! Cheng Lianjin, I've already given you face, don't go too far. Bai Yuqing stood up angrily, staring at Cheng Lianjin angrily, and the two pairs of eyes looked at each other at this time.
"Hehehehe Cheng Lianjin, for the sake of Yimei's face, I'll let you go today, and you'd better be less nosy in the future. Bai Yuqing flicked his sleeves vigorously, turned his back to Cheng Lianjin, and signaled to chase away the guests.
Cheng Lianjin stood in place and had no intention of leaving, his angry and cold face showed a trace of calmness, and a smile appeared on his cold and arrogant face: "Lord Bai, you closed the city gate? ”
