Chapter 21: Behind the Scenes
CHAPTER XXI
When the carriage arrived at the plum house, it was already late, and the slanting sun fell on the top of the mountain as if it were nothing, only the red sunset covered half of the sky, which was beautiful.
Tao Li jumped out of the car first, ran forward a few steps quickly and stopped, the gate that was originally repaired by Mei Junxing fell in the door at this moment, and the door was not the quiet and empty courtyard in the past, Tao Li looked at the bunches of dim torches burning inside, and the crowd with solemn expressions holding torches, and hurriedly ran to the side of the carriage and pressed the door of the carriage.
Wan Yi, who was one step later than Tao Li, stood beside Tao Li, and was startled by the movement of Tao Li's door to close the carriage, and was also startled by the fish stream swimming that was about to get off the car, and Mei Junxing in the car was about to count, but he heard Tao Li's trembling voice outside.
"Brother, you are not allowed to come down, I will tell them, you are not allowed to come down!"
Although Mei Junxing did not get out of the car, he had already seen the situation of the Mei Mansion from the window of the carriage, and he knew that it might have been full of officers and soldiers, but he forgot that Tao Li was just a little girl, and this little girl had obviously never seen such a scene.
"Tao Li, don't be afraid." Mei Junxing tried to push the door, but felt that Tao Li was pressing the door more tightly, and repeated, "Tao Li, don't be afraid." ”
Mei Junxing wanted to try to comfort Tao Li, but found that he was now dressed in cloth, and he was indeed not a capable person who could promise to say "It's okay", so he could only push away the carriage blocked by Tao Li.
The more Mei Junxing pushed, the more reluctant Tao Li was to get out of the way, Wan Yi on the side watched quietly, looking at Tao Li's tightly pursed lips, and I don't know whether he was angry or scared, sighed, stepped forward and pulled Tao Li away and then hugged him tightly in his arms, letting Tao Li struggle but never let go.
Wan Yi knew that what he was doing now was very rude, but he couldn't help it, who made Tao Li unwilling to get out of the way honestly, after all, even if he didn't let Mei Junxing get out of the car, it was useless, he would still come.
Tao Li's head was pressed on Wan Yi's shoulder, and all he could see was the piece of fabric on Wan Yi's shoulder that was gradually wet with tears, and the sound of the dog official shouting in his ears as if he was in the play.
"Come on, press Mei Junxing up for me!"
The footsteps of the hula crowd swarming up sounded beside Tao Li.
"I know, I know, you are not in a hurry, you don't listen to me, now something has happened, what should I do?" Tao Li was on Wan Yi's shoulder, and although the choked voice was so unclear, it still clearly reached Wan Yi's ears, even more vivid than imagined.
"What to do, what to do......"
Tao Li realized that he was so sad about Mei Junxing's accident.
Tao Li realized that she was actually so afraid of this strange world.
"It's going to be fine."
Mei Junxing didn't resist when he was suppressed, and he also knew that it was useless to resist, but he was glad that Tao Li didn't want to see him as an elder brother at this moment. It's just that although the voice is not clear, when Wan Yi's words of comfort to Tao Li fell into Mei Junxing's ears, he didn't like the hearing that he had always been proud of, because he was really envious of the general at the moment.
Mei Junxing is actually not worried about his own situation, he knows that everything now is just because of the legendary treasure, he shook his head helplessly, Mei Junxing helplessly hooked the corners of his mouth slightly, if only he really had this treasure.
If there is, he may be able to ask the third lady of the Tao family who is sobbing at the moment, "Why did you run away from marriage?" ”
But disgusted with being poor? But feel like you have no future? But why is he so sad because of his own affairs?
Mei Junxing has never felt that he is an indecisive and cowardly man, but at this moment, he even spurns himself, maybe people will be like this when things change, and they become a little weak.
"Will it really be okay?" Tao Li wiped a handful of crying faces with clothes made of high-quality materials, completely ignoring Wan Yi's disgust.
"Yes."
"Why do you want me to believe you, although you are a third-grade general, but people are officials and do not act according to the law, how can you guarantee it?"
The fish stream on the side couldn't stand it, Tao Li kept wiping his nose with the clothes of Lord Wanyi, and took out a handkerchief from his arms and slapped it on Tao Li's face.
"Wan Shen General said that he would be fine if he was fine, what guarantee do you want, is there someone behind him?" The fish stream swims and points to the Wanyi River.
Tao Li swam along the fish stream's fingers, wiped his tears with a handkerchief, and nodded as if he was a little relieved, "Being an official is not a good thing." ”
"You don't look like you're asking for anything right now?" Vice General Liu Yun, who had been watching for a long time, was angry for his family, but Wan Yun stopped moving.
"Now I really know what it means to be a woman and a villain." Wan Yi spread his folding fan, "Yu Gongzi, it's so late now, I don't think it's realistic for us to go to the west at this time, why don't you just go to the Yue Mansion tonight, and by the way, tomorrow I will go to Fu Yin to find out what about the case of Tao Li's sister Mei?" ”
Yu Jianyou looked at Tao Li's expression as if he was dissatisfied, smiled and nodded.
"That's all there is to it."
Tao Li watched a group of people rushing to her house unceremoniously, and hurriedly followed to watch, she couldn't let these people mess with her own things, and when Mei Junxing came back, she still had to ask, is there really anything good here?
However, after hearing Yujian lobbying Yujian lobbying and there are people behind her, she is indeed much more relieved.
Although it is too shameless to say that this group of dog officials are forming a party for personal gain, it is still somewhat useful.
That night, under Tao Li's arrangement, several big men stayed in Tao Li's room, and Tao Li slept in the small room of Mei Junxing.
It was late at night, and the room where Tao Li had slept alone was now crowded.
Holding the flickering candle flame, Wan Yi admired the rows of calligraphy and painting antiques on the bookshelves that looked very "ordinary", and after a while, he looked at the fish stream that seemed to have been asleep for a long time.
"I'll just say why even the fish boys of the four major families of the rivers and lakes will look at a poor country like Michuan, it seems that they smell good."
The sleeping fish boy on one side just turned over, as if he hadn't heard it.
Wan Yi snorted lightly, only gently put down the candlestick in his hand, walked to the bed, and took a look, the very girlish bed that Tao Li had cleaned up during this time, it was really not that he didn't want to sleep, but he really couldn't pull down his face to lie in such a shop.
"Brother Wan, it's late at night, let's go to bed early, Miss Tao San doesn't dislike you for having rough skin and thick flesh staining people's boudoirs, you are really hypocritical."
"You're not hypocritical, and you still trick the third lady into thinking that you are a brother?" Wan Yi was said to have made a fuss, but calmly closed his clothes and lay down, the moment he lay down, a strange smell reached Wan Yi's nose, Wan Yi was slightly stunned, quickly sat up, stared at Tao Li's small pillow for a while, and raised his hand to pick up the pillow.
"It's just a little joke at most, if the third lady knows that the mastermind behind Brother Mei's arrest is actually Brother Wan, I don't know what will happen at that time?"
"It must be very interesting, I want to tell her." Wan Yi picked up a small pile of peanuts with green mold under the pillow that had been pressed for an unknown amount of time.
