Chapter 12: Overboard
On the other boat, Qin Shaoxi was lying cynically and sneering at the opposite side, "Father said that he was worried that I would not be comfortable eating and drinking when I went south, so I let you, the miracle doctor, follow you, so that I can adjust my body at any time." But how do I feel like you're spying on me all day? The more you look at it, the more obstructive it becomes. ”
"The son of the world is too hearty." Opposite him, there sat a young man in white who was Shengxue, and said with a smile: "It's true that I'm just a doctor and a little bit of medical skills, so King Yan will let me follow the prince so that I can take more care of him on weekdays." ”
"Huh." Qin Shaoxi sneered, his tone revealing a bit of contempt, "Really? Doctor Jiang, what you say is really better than what you sing, it's really hard for you. ”
Jiang Mubai smiled and said, "The prince has won the prize." ”
A chill flashed in Qin Shaoxi's eyes.
But he knew very well that this Jiang Mubai was very important to his father, and it didn't matter if he lost a few words, but it was not okay to shout and kill directly. Therefore, he forcibly endured the displeasure in his heart, and ordered his subordinates, "Bring up the girls just now." ”
A moment later, Zhaohua and Sister Pearl arrived.
Qin Shaoxi's gaze wandered over them, as if he was examining a few goods, and said lightly: "What will the three of you all have to amuse?" Let's hear it. ”
Zhen'er and Zhu'er have been trained since childhood, and they are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
One replied, "I know how to play a lute." ”
Another replied, "I've been learning music for three years. ”
Qin Shaoxi nodded, and looked at Zhaohua who bowed his head and was silent, "What will you do?" Is it not, or is it dumb? I don't raise idlers in front of you, if you don't know anything, just get out! ”
Zhaohua lowered his eyes and said: "I can read and write, female red embroidery ......"
Qin Shaoxi sneered, "I bought you, but it's just a thing." Do you want me to read and write for you? Waiting for your female red embroidery? It's ridiculous! ”
Zhaohua endured his shame and anger, bowed his head and remained silent.
Qin Shaoxi said again: "I said you, why are you like a piece of wood?" Sai Peony said that you are worth eight hundred taels of silver, don't lie, right? I don't know, but it was Miss Wood who came out of the house, and she couldn't play anything. He waved his hand, "Stand down!" When the master returns to Yangzhou, he will sell you again! ”
Zhaohua was shocked.
If you wait until you get to Yangzhou and then be sold, what good place can you go? Doesn't that still have to go to the Qinglou? Immediately, my brain "buzzed", I was dizzy, and I couldn't hold it anymore.
Qin Shaoxi said impatiently: "Stupid? Get lost! ”
Zhao Huaqiang pinched his palm, stunned, took two steps back, and suddenly turned around and knelt down, "Lord Shizi, I know that I don't have the ability to entertain others, but ......, I still have a life." She raised her previously injured wrist, revealing bloodstains, "As long as the prince gives me a way to live, I will repay with my life!" ”
Qin Shaoxi chuckled, grabbed a sword and threw it over, "Okay, then you can perform a mouth-swallowing long sword." ”
Zhaohua was stunned, "This ......, I won't." ”
Qin Shaoxi suddenly changed his face without warning, "You won't?" Didn't you just say that you were going to give me your life? Not now? If you don't, you'll die with a knife. ”
Zhaohua was suddenly at a loss.
This person is ......, simply moody and inhumane.
Jiang Mubai suddenly smiled slightly, "Lord Shizi, you don't pity the jade too much." I think this girl must be from a beautiful background, and it's not strange that she doesn't know how to play tricks, so why force her to die? If you don't like it, how about giving her to me to be a girl who pours tea and water? ”
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere on the ship suddenly froze.
Qin Shaoxi slowly put down the wine glass in his hand, looked up with a smile, and looked at Jiang Mubai, "What's the ......, look at this girl's appearance, are you going to be a hero to save beauty?" I thought that you were a pure-hearted person with few desires, but I didn't expect you to be so amorous and cold. ”
Jiang Mubai didn't respond to his ridicule, but just smiled: "I see that the prince doesn't like this girl, so I want to take her away, so that she won't be an eyesore in front of the prince, and it can be regarded as a relief for the prince." ”
Qin Shaoxi smiled, "So, I still want to thank you?!" ”
Jiang Mubai said lightly: "Don't dare, don't dare." ”
Qin Shaoxi looked at him deeply a few times, then looked at Zhaohua, and suddenly ordered, "Someone!" Grab this obnoxious thing for me and throw it in the river to feed the fish! ”
Zhaohua Hua's face was pale, and he exclaimed: "The prince ...... the world"
It's a pity that before she could speak, she was picked up by two strong mothers-in-law, her body was uncontrollable, and she was thrown out of the whirlwind! "Plop!" With a bang, it fell directly into the boiling river.
Zhaohua is a pampered lady, so she naturally can't swim.
She only felt that the water was cold and soaked to her bones, her mouth and nose were choking, and her vision was chaotic and blurred. After a few desperate throws in the water, not only did he not float, but instead made his strength disappear faster, and soon fell down.
In the chaos, Zhaohua thought sadly, she was going to die, and she was indirectly killed by Yun Rou, she was really unwilling to die! If she had known, she should have given Yun Rou a pack of rat medicine, and she would have done it all.
She tried hard to open her eyes, wanting to see clearly the sky that didn't have long eyes on the water, but she saw a white-clothed figure jumping down! Her sinking body was firmly grasped by Jiang Mubai's powerful arm, and shouted in her ear: "Hold me tight!" Don't move, don't drop. ”
Out of the instinct of survival, Zhaohua used his last strength to hug each other tightly, as for the defense of men and women, he couldn't care about it in the face of life and death. Even if she can't tell this man clearly, she has to live! Because of survival, you can have a chance to kill Yunrou to take revenge! Otherwise, death will be in vain.
Jiang Mubai asked her to hug her waist tightly, and she rowed towards the other side of the river with all her might.
Fortunately, the painting boat is not too far from the side of the riverbank, and Jiang Mubai's water nature is very good, so he actually took such a big living person as Zhaohua to swim to the shore together. Jiang Mubai pushed her ashore with all his might, and then he also grabbed the grass on the shore and climbed up panting.
Both of them became wet soup chickens, making a mess of water.
Zhaohua kept choking, "cough, cough ......" fell to the ground with all her strength, her hair was wet and messy on her forehead, and her cheeks were lined with more and more white and transparent skin, which was really beautiful like jade.
A look of surprise flashed in Jiang Mubai's eyes.
He had already seen that Zhaohua was good-looking, but he didn't expect it,...... The wet clothes stuck to her body, outlining the curvy figure, which was really graceful, making the man's mouth instinctively a little dry.
This woman is really a stunner.
Jiang Mubai's mind moved.
The most impressive thing in this world is that a glimpse can leave a deep impression.
Then, before that, it's better to hold the pipa and half cover your face. He took off his robe and handed it over, "Although my clothes are wet, you can wrap them up too." Otherwise, when the painting boat comes, everyone will stare at you, but I am afraid that you may not be able to stand it if you are thin-skinned. ”
Zhaohua was puzzled at first, and then lowered his head to find that his clothes were tightly attached to his body, and his figure was prominent, and he couldn't help but feel embarrassed. I didn't dare to refuse the other party's meaning, so I quickly wore it.
She lowered her head in embarrassment and said gratefully, "Thank you Gongzi for saving my life." ”
Jiang Mubai turned his head and showed an expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, "You don't have to rush to thank me. I'm not the kind of kind-hearted person who pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade, and the ...... save you is just to solve the trouble for myself. ”
Zhaohua shook his head, "I don't understand. ”
Jiang Mubai hooked the corners of his mouth slightly, "The prince has never known you all his life, how could he have a special relationship with you and want your life?" He just wanted to find a reason for you to die, and besides, I couldn't save it, and it just ruined my reputation as a miracle doctor. So I saved you only for myself, not for you. ”
Zhaohua was quiet, but said, "That also saved me." ”
Jiang Mubai didn't answer, but glanced in the direction of the painting boat, and said lightly: "By the way, when the next prince is about to arrive on the shore, I will leave first." ”
"You're leaving?" Zhaohua was surprised.
"Or else?" Jiang Mubai asked rhetorically, "Are you waiting for the prince to come over and find me to have a seizure, saying that I took the opportunity to hug his woman?" It's just that, I can't afford to hide. ”
"This ......" Zhaohua raised his head in surprise.
Jiang Mubai looked at her with a smile, "Moreover, if I stay, the prince will definitely find an excuse to attack you." He may not be able to do anything to me, and if you ......, you may be in danger of dying, understand? ”
Zhaohua was slightly flustered, "But if you leave, the prince won't spare me." ”
Jiang Mubai smiled faintly, "Don't worry, you will be safe." ”
His eyes were very clear, as if reflecting a wave of moonlight water, revealing an inexplicable reassuring power. It's as if as long as he says it's safe, he'll be safe, just believe him.
Zhaohua actually settled down slowly.
She didn't understand herself, why would she believe this person she had just met? Was it because he saved her despite the danger? Or is he born to be believed? But no matter what, Jiang Mubai jumped into the water to save her life.
Therefore, he groaned and said, "No matter what the prince will do with me in the next life, you saved me just now." In case, if the prince of the world has a seizure and I die, I will have no chance to repay you. Childe ......" she got up and kowtowed, "If I don't have a chance to live, your life-saving grace, let me repay it in the next life." ”
Jiang Mubai chuckled suddenly, "You just said to the prince that as long as you can live, after killing your stepmother in the future, you can repay you with your life, right?" ”
Zhaohua nodded, "Yes." ”
Jiang Mubai said again: "Then, I saved your life, and your life will naturally belong to me." ”
Zhaohua was stunned for a moment, "Yes......"
Jiang Mubai had a pair of narrow Danfeng eyes, which were beautiful and charming, "So, your life is mine now, and I can't decide life and death by myself, but I have to decide." I said that if you don't die, you won't die, unless you ......, you can't think of looking for death. ”
