Chapter Seventy-Eight: Calm the Nerves

When he woke up the next day, he had a dagger in his hand.

There was no one else in the room, and the doors and windows were closed, Ah Yu lifted the quilt on his body and sat up, rubbing the throbbing forehead with one hand, and it was rare that he did not call the maid in.

She walked barefoot to the square table with red octagonal brocade, poured out a cup of tea from the purple clay pot on the table, and took a small sip of the already cold tea in the cup, the cold taste made her wake up from the misty dream.

It's also very strange to say, none of the dreams that Ah Yu had about Wen Rugu in the past were not clear after waking up, but this time was very different.

What Ah Yu saw in her dream this time, and what she heard, after waking up, it was like a weathered painting, gradually fading its original brilliance with the passage of time, leaving only the line drawings outlined between black and white, which still maintained its original appearance.

As for the memory of last night's dream, there were only two words left in Ah Yu's mind.

'The Minister of Success' and 'The Gong of the Dragon'.

Given that the only people who appeared in the dream last night were Duan Yuzhi and Wen Rusu, it is conceivable who these two words refer to.

It's just that Ah Yu still doesn't understand, she clearly remembers that the year Wen Ru died was the twentieth year of Yong'an, and the year name has not changed, and the person sitting on the throne has not changed, so where did the dragon skill that Duan Yu said come from?

This is not the only thing she can't figure out!

Even the last part of the dream, she didn't remember very clearly.

In a trance, Ah Yu felt as if he had said two words to Wen Ru, but he never remembered what he said.

What can be easily forgotten is probably not an important thing.

Ah Yu held the cup in his hand and shivered unconsciously, and the continuous rain outside the window had not stopped.

Her two feet on the ground couldn't help but rub against each other, and when she broke away from her tangled emotions, she was confronted with the coldness of reality.

Running to the side to dress himself, Ah Yu looked down at his feet stained with dust, found a square stool to sit down, and began to call the maid guarding the door, after getting up early, she needs to wash, just wash her feet again.

Following Master Wen San and others who were busy with the gold mine overnight, Xie Huaian didn't even sleep all night.

Whether it is to bring the bodies of the two people who were killed by lightning back to the Wenfu Courtyard, or to remove the traces of their walking, it is necessary to be extremely careful.

Although Xie Huai'an didn't need to do these things himself, he still chose to watch from the sidelines, at least he had to learn how these people left familiar signs in other places without leaving a trace, and they would not be discovered by others.

As long as he can learn this new skill, he won't have to face the awkward situation of last night when he goes out in the future, even if no one is with him.

Even if he still can't make out how to walk the road ahead, he can still follow the signs he left behind and go back the way he came!

"Uncle Wen, have you figured out how to quietly disclose the matter of the gold mine to the emperor?" On the way back, Xie Huai'an got into Wen Qin's carriage.

And his father, Master Xie, Xie Jiangchong, was also on this carriage.

Wen Qin's official position in the imperial court is not very large, although he can go to the court meeting on weekdays, but every time he is at the end of the line, close to the gate. Although because of Old Lady Wen, he also has a name in his heart today, but this does not mean that he can easily see and talk to today.

In fact, the four adults in the carriage, Wen Qin, Wen Yu, Qi Zhang, and Xie Jiangchong, among the four, Xie Jiangchong had the highest official position.

Wen Qin glanced at his friend who looked like usual, and his evaluation of Xie Huai'an changed a little in his heart, and he said to Xie Huai'an: "Although the gold mine was discovered by you and Ah Yu together, Ah Yu must not be able to leave a name and surname in this matter, and the Wen family also needs Ah Yu to earn this credit, in other words, the credit of the gold mine, at least on the surface, should be yours, if this matter is reported by Brother Xie, it is more appropriate, why do you come to ask me?" ”

Is it because of the youthful spirit that he does not want to covet the merits of others?

If so, this son is not as unbearable as the rumors say.

When Wen Qin looked at Xie Huai'an, he couldn't help but think of the child's reputation now, with a tyrannical temperament and cruel methods, even if he was pressed by his father and brother above, he was also a master who would break people's legs at every turn.

And Wen Qin's eyes on people have never been wrong, he has seen that the rumors are untrue, but he doesn't know what Xie Jiangchong's reason is, he has never justified his son's name outside.

Xie Huai'an smiled and said generously: "I have heard those two say that they have been digging mines on this mountain for more than half a year, and they have not found out for such a long time, and there is an unknown master behind them, so you don't need to think about it to know that there must be a conspiracy behind it." ”

"Now that the enemy is in the dark, we are in the light, if we want not to be stabbed in the back, we must be extremely cautious, and we must prevent outsiders from knowing the news when we convey the news to today, and after the news arrives, whether it is Ah Yu or me, it will not have anything to do with the gold mine, even if you want to reward us, you will find another reason, you say yes!"

He didn't mention why he didn't ask Xie Jiangchong, as if this was the right thing to do.

Xie Jiangchong's face remained unchanged and continued: "I remember that your daughter was sick before, and she worked hard for her uncle to go to the palace for medical treatment, so it is better to let her uncle enter the palace this time, and among us, there is only my uncle, who is the easiest to see today." ”

His proposal sounded familiar.

Xie Huai'an couldn't help but look at his father, and inexplicably remembered Ah Yu who was still in the other courtyard, and suddenly became a little distracted.

The little girl who has been raised in the boudoir since she was a child, I am afraid that it is not even common for people to be injured, let alone two people who were killed by lightning!

He himself was so bold that he was busy with other things all night, and he forgot about the dead man for a while, and he didn't know how Ah Yu spent the night.

There are elders in the other courtyard, as well as a house doctor, who should be able to make soothing soup for Ah Yu.

The little girl should have drunk the soothing soup, so she slept peacefully until dawn!

Soothing soup ......

Yes, there is.

After Ah Yu woke up, she opened her mouth to call the maid outside the door, and Mama Chang pushed the door in.

Not only Mama Chang, but also Qingye, Qingrui and others, they all rushed over overnight.

After Mama Chang waited for Ah Yu to wash up and put on her shoes and socks, she began to care about her girl's situation again.

After listening to Ah Yu talk about the experience of deletion, and learning that she didn't even drink the soothing soup last night, she hurriedly fell asleep, and hurriedly asked Aoba to bring a big bowl of soothing soup from the kitchen.

If you don't drink it at night, you still have to make up for it after you get up early.
