Chapter 115: The Widow
Zhou Shuxuan took the crutches, which were carved with delicate patterns, not common patterns, like a crane with a bent neck. The fine mahogany has been polished to a bright finish, and it can be seen that the person who made it has put a lot of thought into it.
The skill of embroidering and sewing clothes is not good, but the skill of doing carpenter work is a must, and I don't know what kind of person her parents originally planned to train her to become.
Zhou Shuxuan stood up with a cane, and the height was just right, as if it was tailor-made for him, or it was originally tailor-made for him.
The person is gone, it is useless for him to regret it, it is useless to be uncomfortable, anyway, it is all his own doing. The eldest princess was right, he might be a coward.
Zhou Shuxuan walked forward with a cane, and Wei Hai carefully protected him on the side.
Wei Hai saw that he was quite satisfied with this crutch, so he said, "Lord Wang, in fact, there are more than this, there are other things. The girl also redesigned a wheelchair for the prince, and the drawings had already been drawn, and she said that if she changed it, she would leave it to the craftsmen outside. ”
Zhou Shuxuan was silent and did not speak.
Wei Hai also sighed in his heart, what's the use of talking about it now, he also did something wrong in this matter, he should have persuaded him at that time, instead of watching from the sidelines.
Zhou Shuxuan didn't hear what he just said, turned around and ordered, "Go and call Zhang Langzhong to come over." ”
Wei Hai didn't say more, he didn't know what state Zhou Shuxuan was in his heart now. The prince of his family has always been good at covering up his emotions, but he shouldn't feel good in his heart when he thinks about it.
After all, Zhou Shuxuan is the one who takes the initiative in the relationship.
Zhang Langzhong came over to diagnose Zhou Shuxuan's pulse, looked at his leg again and said: "The prince's leg has indeed improved, it should be thanks to soaking his feet and dredging the meridians every day, and the effect should be better if he persists for a few more days." ”
"Do you know how to do that?"
Miao Li is now gone, and his leg still needs treatment.
"The villain will." He was originally the one who taught Miaoli.
Zhou Shuxuan ordered in a normal tone, "Then you come over every day." ”
"The villain takes the order."
Originally, it was a great thing that his legs could be moved, but Zhou Shuxuan was not very happy now, and he didn't even have the heart to eat breakfast. Leaning back in the circle chair, playing with the cane in his hand.
remembered that Miao Li repaired his wheelchair in Yanshan and got a whole body injury. I'm afraid it's not so easy to go back to the palace to make these things, it's too wasteful for Qianqianyu's hands to make these things.
Wei Hai worked beside him for a while, and finally couldn't help but speak, "Lord Wang, let's have breakfast first." Later, Master Zhang from the Ministry of Officials will come over. ”
How can he have the heart to deal with these official affairs now, that woman is obviously gone, but she still appears in his life all the time.
She made the crutches, she came up with the prescription, and she insisted on pressing his legs every day.
He didn't regret letting her go, he just felt a little unspeakably uncomfortable.
It took a long time to look up and reply to Wei Hai with a sentence that had nothing to do with breakfast, "Didn't you say that she made something else?" Take me to see it. ”
He heard what Wei Hai said just now.
Wei Hai had to help him into a wheelchair and push him to the room where Miao Li lived before. There were scraps of wood on the ground, and various carpenter's tools were placed next to them, and on the table was a drawing covered with a sheet, and it was vaguely evident that a girl had lived in the past.
Zhou Shuxuan picked up the drawings on the table, flipped through a few pages, and silently put them back. He didn't even know about these things that were being done right under his nose.
Wei Hai's sharp eyes saw something else pressed under the drawing, and he stretched out his hand to pull it out, it was a silver ticket, and there were a few pieces of loose silver next to the silver ticket.
"Lord Wang?"
Zhou Shuxuan also looked at the table, as if he had been stabbed by something.
She didn't take a cent of the money he gave.
Zhou Shuxuan glanced at it lightly, but still didn't say anything.
Wei Hai regretted it more and more, and suddenly remembered what Miao Li said that night in his head. slapped his head violently, "Lord Wang, the slave should die, the slave forgot to tell the prince about a big incident." ”
Zhou Shuxuan raised his eyes and looked at him.
"The last time the prince quarreled with the girl, the slave boldly said in front of the girl that the girl should think about how the prince treated the girl. Later, on the day the prince was assassinated, the girl told the slave that she had figured it out. ”
He figured it out too.
The tears contained in the eyes but the face that forcibly resisted not to let himself cry, the sentence with a trilling "not such a ......", and such a resolute walk.
Zhou Shuxuan didn't dare to think about what he had wiped out with his own hands.
Since the eldest princess left, the worries that had been hidden in her heart are now all surging. She is a lone woman, and she has no money on her, so she doesn't know what bad people she will meet.
Zhou Shuxuan regretted it too late, his voice was finally no longer flat, and he said anxiously: "Let people go and find it immediately, in the direction of Yizhou and the direction of Saiwai." ”
He guessed the general direction correctly, but he didn't expect what kind of person Miao Li would meet.
Miao Li followed behind Lu Guangbai and walked out of breath. Lu Guangbai is now carrying two large bags of books on his body, and he is still carrying her burden in his hand, and he is as light as a swallow and walks like a fly. She had nothing to do, and she had to trot to barely get left behind.
"Childe, can we rest?"
Miao Li couldn't walk anymore, so she shouted at the person in front of her.
Lu Guangbai turned his head when he heard the voice, only to find that she had been left ten steps away by herself, so he ran back and helped her sit down on the big stone on the side, "Yes, I was unconscious and thoughtful for a while, you can sit down." ”
Seeing that Miaoli is a pampered lady, she must not be able to stand him rushing like this, although he still slowed down.
Lu Guangbai put down the things on his body and picked up Miaoli's kettle, "I'll go get you some water." ”
"Thank you, Childe."
Looking at his back, Miao Li couldn't help but wonder why he was carrying this burden of himself. The two of them drove for half a day, and Lu Guangbai behaved very normally and did not overstep, and cared for her all the way.
Is she lucky to meet some good person?
I'm afraid not, there is always a cause and effect. It is impossible to be good to her for no reason, Lu Guangbai must have a plan.
Trying to kill for money? It doesn't look like it, Miao Li can hear the sound of him wrapping a heavy silver ingot colliding when he walks, Lu Guangbai is much richer than her. Want her life? Life is even less valuable, and killing her Lu Guangbai may not be able to leave any benefits.
Miaoli couldn't help but think about it more, was it because of her face? When she walked out of the palace and walked down the street, she felt a lot of not very kind eyes, and then she went to buy a hat and put it on.
Now in a hurry, she took off her hat because it was too hot, and Lu Guangbai seemed to be staring at her face in a daze a few times.
Could it be that he is so good to himself...... It's no wonder that Miao Li thinks about it, it's because she has met too many people who say they will marry her when they meet for the first time.
Reached out and wiped the sweat from his sideburns, this is really a troublesome face.
Lu Guangbai had already come back from fetching water, and handed the full kettle in his hand to Miaoli, "The girl makes do with some drinks, but when we enter the city, we will hire another carriage." ”
Lu Guangbai has never taken a carriage when he goes out, and the carriage is not as fast as him, but Miaoli is different, and the path of shoes and socks is difficult.
Miao Li waved her hand again and again, and said politely: "No need, thank you Gongzi for taking care of me, I won't trouble Gongzi when I enter the city." ”
"The girl means ......"
Miaoli began to talk nonsense, "I came out to join my family, so ...... When I entered the city again, I hired a carriage and went by myself. ”
It was not difficult for Lu Guangbai to tell whether someone was lying or not, and her slightly dodgy eyes showed that she was weak at this time. Then he asked, "What kind of relatives do you vote for?" ”
Miao Li made up nonsense, "I'm not a girl anymore, I'm a ...... Widow, my father-in-law died, and my mother-in-law's family treated me badly, so I escaped to join my family. ”
Lu Guangbai looked up at her, carefully distinguishing what she said, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows did not look like a girl. But the hair was not pulled up, as if it were combed in the style of a handmaid of a large family. Coupled with the portrait in the morning, Lu Guangbai couldn't guess all the details of her, but he was sure that she was lying.
Probably because she was afraid that she would harm her, so she made up this excuse. He could understand that, after all, she was a young and beautiful woman outside, and it was normal for her to be a little defensive.
Lu Guangbai said in a somewhat joking tone: "Since this is the case, then I will take the girl back and hand it to the eldest princess, and receive a reward of 10,000 taels of silver." ”
"What did you say?!"
Lu Guangbai smiled and said, "I didn't say anything, I just scared you." I don't have any ill will towards you, and you can rest assured of that. It's really not safe for you to be out there alone, I can send you where you want to go. And you'd better tell me the truth, stop lying to people, or I'll really arrest you back." ”
Miaoli is now in the hands of others, and it is too late to be afraid. Seeing that Lu Guangbai didn't seem to be lying to her, he held the kettle and told the truth.
His eyes fell into the distance, and his voice was a little sentimental, and he said, "I don't know where I'm going, the world is so big, there is nowhere to be home." ”
"What about your parents and family?"
"They're all dead."
"Then your so-called ...... of the prime minister"
Miao Li thought of Zhou Shuxuan's face and smiled self-deprecatingly, "He can't be regarded as my father-in-law, he can be regarded as dead." ”
"And what are your plans?"
"There was no plan, I didn't have a plan at all about what I was going to do when I left, so ...... I don't know where I'm going. ”
She used to want to leave, wanted to go outside, but didn't think about how to do it.
Now Lu Guangbai is the only one in the wilderness, and she can only tell him what is on her mind.
Lu Guangbai thought carefully for a moment before he cautiously asked, "In that case, do you want to follow me?" ”
"Where to go?" Miao Li smiled, "It's been so long, I don't know what Childe does." ”
Looking at his dress as a scholar, he looks like a gentleman who teaches in a private school. Coupled with the fact that he read "Spring and Autumn" last night, Miao Li guessed that he was a gentleman who failed the exam and didn't want to teach.
