Chapter 159: Unraveling
The day after sending the second elder of the Xu family away, Xu Li returned from the countryside.
It's just that to Shi Jinxiu's surprise, he seemed to be moving, and the large and small burdens were piled up in a whole carriage.
"What are you doing here?" Shi Jinxiu looked at him puzzled.
"Didn't do anything! I just don't want to live with them. Xu Li said as if angry, and he moved the baggage from the carriage to the hut where he lived again and again.
The Zhang couple in the concierge saw that he was moving pathetiously alone, so they called their son Xiaoshan to help him.
"But what will your father and mother think if you do this?" Shi Jinxiu grabbed Xu Li.
"Why should I care what they think? Didn't they think for me? Xu Li's eyes were red, and he seemed to have been greatly wronged in his heart, "When the rumors in the village first started, I told them not to believe it, but I didn't expect them to lock me in the house, and I went to the capital to find trouble with my sister!" ”
As he spoke, his tears flowed uncontrollably.
Xu Li wiped it angrily, turned around and went to the carriage to carry things again.
Looking at his somewhat emaciated back, Shi Jinxiu suddenly realized that Xu Li, who seemed to be mature and steady on weekdays, was actually just a sensitive teenager.
The failure of the last government test made Xu Li urgently need to find something to prove himself, so he would be so fully committed to what he did.
It was precisely because of this that Shi Jinxiu didn't want this young man to suffer in terms of money, but instead of wanting to cause this trouble for him.
"Okay, you can leave everything here to Xiaoshan, and my sister will take you to the restaurant!" Shi Jinxiu smiled with Xu Li and dragged him to Chunxi Tower.
Because Shi Jinxiu had followed Yu Wenyan to this Chunxi Building, the shopkeeper recognized her at a glance.
He not only opened the best wing room in Chunxi Building, but also personally poured tea and water for the two of them.
As early as a year ago, he heard that Emperor Qingde gave Yuwenyan a marriage, referring to the girl of the Shi family in the Marquis of Changxing, but he didn't know if it was the one in front of him.
Therefore, the shopkeeper asked tentatively, "Miss Shi, what kind of dishes do you want to use today?" ”
"It's just the two of us today, let's do it with the shopkeeper!" Shi Jinxiu didn't think much about it, but took out a handful of broken silver from his sleeve and put it on the table of the Eight Immortals.
Xu Li looked at the broken silver, which was at least four or five taels, and hurriedly said, "Sister! We can't eat that much, so don't break the bank! ”
The shopkeeper of Chunxi Building was speculating about the relationship between Shi Jinxiu and this young man, and was thinking about whether to ask someone to report to Lord Yuwenyan, but this "sister" suddenly relieved him.
It turned out to be Yuwen-sama's brother-in-law!
"Gotcha! I'll give you a side dish! Afraid that Shi Jinxiu would regret it, the shopkeeper quickly swept the silver on the table and left with a smile.
Seeing that there was no one else in the house, Shi Jinxiu enlightened Xu Li: "I know that you are holding your breath in your heart, and it is very uncomfortable, but there are some things that you don't have to take too seriously." ”
Xu Li listened silently, lowered his head, and did not speak.
"I know, you think I'm standing and talking without backache, and think I'm trying to persuade you to be generous." Shi Jinxiu smiled slightly, "But, it's not." ”
Sure enough, Xu Li looked up in surprise and looked at Shi Jinxiu with a puzzled expression.
"I never persuade people to be generous, because I think the so-called generosity is just an incompetent concession." Shi Jinxiu's face appeared gloomy, "When you encounter injustice, you will either suffer it impatiently, or you will return it fiercely." ”
Xu Li opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything.
Shi Jinxiu looked at it, but smiled knowingly.
"I know what you want to say," Shi Jinxiu teased him, "You want to say that it's your parents, your brother, you can't do anything to them, but don't forget, you can use your future to prove to them that you are not the unbearable teenager they imagined." ”
"Or, let's put it another way, we all say 'those who are clear are self-purifying', and we don't need to waste too much time and energy for these unnecessary things." Shi Jinxiu looked at Xu Li with a straight face, "We have more important things to do!" It's not worth being distracted by these things. ”
"Sister! I see what you mean! Xu Li seemed to be suddenly, and then he said as if he had made a wish: "I will help you take care of the Xinxiang Pavilion!" ”
Shi Jinxiu listened to it, but slapped him.
"Don't forget, reading is your main business!" She reminded him, "Don't forget, we agreed before, if you delay your study because of helping me take care of the affairs of Xinxiang Pavilion, I can stop it at any time!" ”
"Sister, don't worry, you can't make a mistake!" Xu Li patted his chest with Shi Jinxiu.
"Whether it's wrong or not, it's not you who have the final say, and it's not me who has the final say." Without thinking about it, he heard Shi Jinxiu say slowly, "But Shi Nan helped you ask for a chance to listen in the Guozi Prison, whether you want to go or not, it's up to you." ”
Go to study in the prison of the country!
"But I'm just a child......" Xu Li naturally wanted to go, but he was worried about his identity as a child.
"So it's just a sting!" Shi Jinxiu said to him very cautiously, "But I think that even if you are an auditor, it is to listen to the two Jinshi give you lectures, which is better than those talents in the library outside who can't even take the exam." ”
"I'll go!" Xu Li couldn't wait to respond, "It's just that in this way, the Xinxiang Pavilion ...... over there"
"I'll take care of the affairs of Xinxiang Pavilion myself." Shi Jinxiu said to him nonchalantly, "You have already helped me a lot, you can't delay your future for my sake, do you know?" ”
Xu Li nodded silently, and tears fell down again.
In the Zhenfu Division, Yu Wenyan was interrogating the Imperial Doctor Wang who was brought back by Yu Linwei.
"Lord Yuwen, as long as you can save the lives of my family, I am willing to tell you everything!" Doctor Wang, who was handcuffed and shackled, bargained with Yu Wenyan.
"You think you still have a choice?" Yu Wenyan looked at him and sneered.
"Why not?" Imperial Physician Wang smiled with Yu Wenyan, "I thought about it all night yesterday, it was my lack of learning that made you catch my sore feet, I admit this!" But if I do not open my mouth, you will only cure my sin, but not the man who commands me. ”
"I know that if I die, it will be more than innocent, and no one will pity me, but the person behind me is different."
"If she can't make a plan, she will definitely have another plan, it is easy to prevent thieves every day, and it is difficult to prevent thieves every day, if she is not pulled out, I am afraid that the three princesses will have a peaceful life in this life!"
Imperial Physician Wang's words were very casual, but Yu Wenyan knew that he was very reasonable.
"I answered you!" Yu Wenyan also knew that Emperor Qingde handed over this case to him to investigate, and he must have wanted him to investigate it to the end.
