Chapter 182: Teach a Man to Fish
Ye Xintian's eyes widened when she saw the medicine bag fall into Yi Sijin's hands, and all kinds of pictures flashed through her mind, the most of which was the picture of her being caught red-handed.
Seeing that she was so nervous, Yi Sijin wanted to tease her, held the medicine bag above her head, didn't let her touch it, and looked at her condescendingly and asked, "What makes you so nervous?" ”
"Give it back to me!" Ye Xintian pounced, he was one step ahead of her in everything, which made her very angry.
"Tell me what's inside." Yi Sijin said in a deep voice, with no refusal in her tone. Yes, at first he just wanted to help her pick it up, but seeing her so nervous, he suddenly had an ominous premonition.
He didn't know if it had anything to do with her going to Yipinju to see that person, but she was so nervous, this medicine bag in the palm of her hand was probably not a good thing, maybe it was used to deal with him.
He always knew that putting a dangerous person by his side would make him doomed sooner or later, but she hadn't done anything to hurt him so far, maybe he was thinking too much about it.
Ye Xintian's heart wavered, not knowing whether to tell the truth or lie. The truth is nothing more than planting a needle in Yi Sijin's heart, and he doesn't believe lies at most.
"I was a little uncomfortable and went to the pharmacy to get it." In the end, she chose to tell a lie, for herself and for the sake of some people.
Yi Sijin twisted her eyebrows and said, "Where are you uncomfortable, do you want this king to call the imperial doctor to take a look at you?" ”
Ye Xintian raised her head and looked at him puzzled, this didn't seem to be the same as what she thought in her heart? She thought he would ask what kind of medicine it was, but she didn't expect him to care about himself first?
"It's just a small thing, just eat this pack." Ye Xintian deliberately pointed to the medicine bag in his hand, thinking that the hint was obvious enough.
Yi Sijin paused, put down his arm, frowned and said, "No, I still have to let the imperial doctor take a look." ”
"Lord Wang, there's really no need to make a fuss, I know my own body in my own heart." Ye Xintian's eyes kept falling on the medicine bag, she had already calculated in her heart, if she couldn't convince him, she would directly grab it, and then destroy the corpse and scatter it into the stream, so that he wouldn't know what kind of medicine powder it was.
Yi Sijin didn't speak, looking at her intently, as if judging the truth of her words.
Perhaps, everyone has secrets, including himself, and there are some that cannot be told to others. But could he trust her?
Ye Xintian's scalp was numb when he saw it, and her eyes seemed to be able to see through all her thoughts, she took advantage of his distraction, stood on tiptoe, snatched the medicine bag, held it in the palm of her hand, and said, "If you don't believe it, I'll eat it for you now?" ”
Yi Sijin narrowed her eyes and stared at her, didn't answer her, didn't speak, just looked at her quietly.
So far, Ye Xintian can only bite the bullet, I saw her open the medicine bag, staring at the white powder inside, thinking that she should be able to solve it herself, after all, it is a chronic poison, but how long it will take to work, she doesn't know.
She gritted her teeth secretly, telling herself that it was a matter of a knife, and that she would only suffer a little if she ate it, which was much better than being knifed, and she couldn't lose the trust she had built up with great difficulty because of a pack of medicinal powder.
She tilted her head and pointed the powder into her mouth, reminding herself that she only needed to taste a little, and she couldn't play with it. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath before preparing to inhale.
Before I felt the discomfort of the powder blocking my mouth, suddenly my wrist tightened, and the medicine powder fell into Yi Sijin's hands again, only to hear him say: "No water and how unpalatable it is, I will eat it when I go home." ”
Ye Xintian hadn't come back to her senses yet, he had already rewrapped the medicine powder and put it back in her hand, she could only nod stiffly.
Regardless of the outcome, he finally passed without destroying the trust he had worked so hard to build. However, the trust she has built up will not be handed over.
Isn't there a good saying, goodbye is also a friend, even if they can't be husband and wife, as long as their relationship is not stiff, she can still be cheeky to ask him for help if her business is in trouble in the future. This is the so-called, be a man and leave a line, and see each other in the future.
"Let's go." After Yi Sijin finished speaking, she took her hand, and the two walked along the stream. At this moment, they are just the most ordinary couple, defenseless, without conspiracy.
"Okay." Ye Xintian's heart was put down, his mood became happy, and he followed his steps.
The two of them walked slowly by the stream, and the breeze brought the fragrance of flowers, as if they were in a paradise, forgetting all their troubles.
Ye Xintian thought for a while and decided to speak first: "Lord Wang, last time about my mother's grave move, I knew it was your kindness, I shouldn't have refused, I'm really embarrassed." ”
"It's okay, that's your mother, you have the right to call the shots, it's this king who doesn't think it through." Yi Sijin thought that she understood what she was thinking, but after that incident, he realized that if he didn't think about it, she had to do it.
"You really don't blame me?"
"This king doesn't look like such a stingy person, does he?"
"No, the prince is very generous." Ye Xintian believes that in the matter of moving the grave, he did his best and chose the best place, which can be regarded as thinking about her.
It's just that, even if you are a deceased, all the troubles of life should not be taken to the place of dormancy.
"It's so generous that I can't ask you where you've been and what you've done, right?" Yi Sijin blurted out, and only regretted it after speaking.
Ye Xintian was stunned for a moment, and finally pretended not to hear anything, "Lord Wang, what did you say?" ”
"Nothing." Yi Sijin sighed and stopped asking.
★★★★★★
Yi Sijin and Ye Xintian haven't seen each other for several days since they walked by the stream, they were busy with their own things, and they didn't even have the opportunity to meet.
Ye Xintian wrote a line of simple words on the white paper, then folded it into a very small note, pointed to the pigeon cage and said, "Chunke, bring the pigeon in the innermost part." ”
She stuffed the note into a small bamboo tube tied to the pigeon's leg, then got up with the pigeon in her hand, came to the middle of the yard, and threw it up with all her might, and the pigeon flew in the familiar direction.
"Chunke, I'll go out, you and Qingling take good care of the house." Ye Xintian waved his hand as he walked, and quickly walked out of the Mingyue Pavilion.
According to what was written in the letter, Ye Xintian came to the agreed place in advance, ordered a pot of tea and a snack, and waited for the arrival while eating.
Before the pot of tea was finished, a black figure sat down opposite her, picked up the snack without the slightest surprise, put it in his mouth, and said while eating: "It's not as delicious as what you cook, don't make an appointment to meet in this kind of place next time." ”
"Master, I asked you to do business." Ye Xintian glanced at him angrily and corrected him that the focus was not on snacks.
Li Hongpeng glanced at her and said, "Drinking tea and eating snacks is also a serious matter?" ”
Ye Xintian got up with a smile and said, "Please come with the apprentice." ”
"Mysterious?" Li Hongpeng saw that she still refused to speak, and couldn't help but complain.
"Uh-huh." Ye Xintian still didn't say anything, and walked in front to lead the way.
The two came to the gate of a courtyard one after the other, although there were neighbors next to them, but they were relatively quiet, pushed open the door, and there was a wall carved with paintings in front of them.
"Master, master, you're here!"
"Master, I didn't expect us to meet so soon."
"Master, you taught me the moves, I practiced them, I'll show you later!"
Li Hongpeng listened to the familiar voice, looked at the familiar face, paused, touched their heads and asked, "Why are you here?" ”
"It's my sister, my sister picked us up, invited us to eat delicious food, and taught us to read and write!" One of the twelve or thirteen-year-old boys said.
Li Hongpeng looked at Ye Xintian, there were 100,000 whys in his mind, and there were many questions he wanted to ask, but at this moment he was filled with warmth.
Ye Xintian saw that they were pestering Li Hongpeng, and he had to find a chance to speak, so he said: "The master and I haven't eaten anything, you guys go to the kitchen and get something delicious." ”
When the children heard this, they immediately ran away and headed in the direction of the kitchen.
Ye Xintian looked at the children's backs, her eyes were full of warm smiles, and she asked Li Hongpeng: "Master, is this surprise enough to surprise?" ”
"Why?" Li Hongpeng had a thousand words to say in his heart, but in the end he could only ask these three words.
Ye Xintian took out the key that had been held in his palm and hidden in his sleeve, handed it to Li Hongpeng, and then said, "Master, this place will belong to you in the future, you are the dean here." ”
"When did you find out about this?" Li Hongpeng held the key tightly, and the sharp outline of the key fell into his palm.
"It's not that hard for me to know, is it?" Ye Xintian would not be so stupid as to say that he didn't believe anyone, and sent someone to investigate Li Hongpeng.
After all, her father could keep her in her room until she got married, playing her in the palm of his hand and making her the best pawn he could be. All of this tells her that she must be clear about everyone's details and distinguish the person who will not betray her the most.
In order not to let Li Hongpeng continue to ask, Ye Xintian began to divert the topic: "This courtyard is the largest place I can find, paid in the form of monthly rent, the master doesn't have to worry about money, as long as he lives well." I hired the best teachers to teach the children to read and write regularly, and the cooks were also invited, they would not go hungry, everyone would have their own room, their own little world, although the room was not big, but at least they didn't have to live in a ruined temple dripping rain. ”
As long as everything goes in a good direction, no one cares how the process goes.
"In addition to being the master of this courtyard, you are also responsible for teaching them martial arts, and you don't have to learn martial arts too well, you can protect yourself; I will ask the cook to teach them how to cook and cook, as long as they can cook and not starve; When they grow up, they can choose to work in my store, or they can make a world on their own, and I won't interfere. Master, what do you think? ”
Li Hongpeng looked at her in a daze, she thought about everything, and thought about every aspect for the children, some of which he didn't even dare to think about.
What kind of apprentice did he take?
