Chapter 40: Shi Qing solves doubts
An hour later, Wan Liang and Du Hongyu worked together to check all the accounts of yesterday, and they had not found a trace of error. At this time, it was not yet time to apply, and it was still early before dinner time. "Wanliang, let's go, I'll take you somewhere." Du Hongyu said happily and took Wan Liang's hand, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and walked briskly towards the door.
"Hongyu, where are you going to take it?" Wan Liang asked as she was being dragged along.
"Go, you'll know." Du Hongyu said in a good mood, and his tone was full of comfort and happiness.
In this way, Wanliang was dragged by Du Hongyu all the way to the "Xue Family Silver Building" on the North Street of Ding'an Town. "Shopkeeper, take out one set of each of your latest styles of gold and silver jewelry here." As soon as Du Hongyu entered the silver building, he pulled Wanliang and walked straight to the counter, and said cheerfully to the shopkeeper. Then he turned his head to Wan Liang and said happily: "Wan Liang, you can pick whatever you like!" ”
"Howler! Please wait a minute, I'll go get it. The shopkeeper saw that Du Hongyu was dressed from head to boots, all of them were the best goods, he was full of luxury, and he spoke extremely boldly, and he thought, when he made up his mind, he would introduce him to the best and most expensive in the shop, and try to make him a lot of money.
"Hongyu, thank you. I don't need to. Let's go back! Wanliang finally understood Du Hongyu's intentions and refused. She doesn't owe the Du family so much.
"Wanliang! A few days ago, I bought a bracelet for you, and you said that you would not accept anything, I didn't like the bracelet when you were you, so I brought you here today, why don't you pick anything and leave in a hurry! Why do you always have to reject my heart again and again! Wanliang, today is my birthday, can you let me give you a gift! I think...... I think...... Ask for a birthday gift. Du Hongyu said with a little shyness in his tone, and there was a suspicious flush on both cheeks.
"What birthday gift do you want?" As long as it's not too expensive, if I can afford it, I'll buy it for you, and you don't have to send me something in exchange. Wan Liang looked at him and said.
"It's not expensive! Not expensive! Wanliang, do you really want to give me a birthday gift? Du Hongyu heard Wanliang say this, his dark eyes staring at her instantly brightened, and he asked in surprise.
"Well, what do you think you want? As long as I can afford it, I'll buy it for you now. Wan Liang nodded.
"I ...... I...... I just want a sachet that you sewed with your own hands. Du Hongyu blushed slightly and stared at Wanliang and said. He thought that if Wanliang sewed a sachet and gave it to him, he would hang it on his waist during the day and put it on the side of the bed at night, and from then on he would love and accompany him.
"So you just want a sachet? Okay, I'll sew one for you. Wan Liang agreed. She wondered, why do men like sachets? Didn't Mid-Autumn Festival Chen ask her for a sachet last year? Time flies! Now it's August again, and it's almost the annual Mid-Autumn Festival. She clearly remembered that she left the "Liuyun Pavilion" in the middle of last year, and she spent the New Year in "Dujiabao", but before she knew it, she and Chen had been separated for almost a year. Thinking of this, Wan Liang suddenly felt a little sad, "Chen, how are you doing?" I miss you so much......" she greeted silently in her heart.
"Huh? Wanliang, did you agree? Do you really want to sew a sachet for me? Thank you! Cool. Du Hongyu suddenly held Wanliang's hand, stared at her with bright eyes, and said excitedly. The smile on his cheeks was as bright as a child.
"Really, I'll sew one for you. Hongyu, let's go back. I'll go back to sewing now, and I'll be able to sew it in two or three days at most. Wan Liang, who was pulled back to his thoughts by Du Hongyu, quickly retracted his hand.
"But I can't ask for your sachet for nothing, I also want to give you a gift. Wanliang, I'm here today, so you can pick one at random. Du Hongyu looked at Wanliang's retracted hand, feeling a little lost in his heart, and then thought that she was going to give him a sachet, and he was in a good mood.
"Hongyu, I really don't need it. You didn't ask for it in vain, I still owe you a hundred taels of silver tickets. Gone, we went back. Wan Liang said and pulled Du Hongyu to leave.
"Wanliang, you have never confiscated any of my gifts, so you will let me give you one today, okay?" Du Hongyu stood still, looked at Wanliang and insisted. He wished that everything he wore from head to toe was given to her, so that she would naturally think of him when she saw those things, how good!
"Hongyu, I really don't need to! I don't like those. Let's go back, and I promised to cook 'longevity noodles' for you." Wan Liang said, and wanted to pull Du Hongyu to the door again.
"And what do you like? Wanliang, tell me! I'll buy it for you! Du Hongyu still stood still as steady as Mount Tai, staring at Wanliang sincerely with black eyes, and immediately asked.
"I don't like anything. Gone, Hongyu. Wan Liang pulled Du Hongyu to the door again. This time, Du Hongyu pulled him out of the silver building by Wanliang.
"Alas!" The shopkeeper who knows how to read people the most, saw that such a bold guest was pulled away, and the silver that was about to arrive flew away, and he sighed when he looked at the backs of the two of them going out.
Wanliang pulled Du Hongyu out of the "Xue Family Silver Building", and went straight to the "Du Family Fort".
"Miss Wan? Du Hongyu? How are they together? Shi Qing saw Wanliang's back pulling Du Hongyu on the street, and wondered in his heart. Shi Qing only met Du Hongyu when he talked about the "cloth" business a few days ago. Shi Qing came to Yuanlu this time to negotiate business for Xuanyuan Chen, and by the way, according to Xuanyuan Chen's explanation, he inspected all the shops and restaurants on Yuanlu and was preparing to return to Zhoushan tomorrow.
At this moment, he actually saw that they had been searching for several months from all over the world, and so far the prince had sent secret guards to continue to search for Wan girl in Yandu and Zhoushan, and it turned out to be next door to Zhoushan - Yuan Road. He quickly and quietly followed, and watched Wanliang and Du Hongyu enter the "Dujiabao" together. Shi Qing sighed secretly in her heart: "It turns out that Miss Wan has been living in Dujiabao all along!" No wonder they turned Yandu and Zhoushan upside down and couldn't find her! ”
Xinwangfu
"Doctor Qin, how is my father?" As soon as Xuanyuan Chen walked out of King Xin's bed, he said with concern. King Xin fell ill in bed this time, and invited a number of country doctors to see it, and the rhetoric was basically the same, it was a heart disease, and if he opened the heart knot, he would be able to live longer, otherwise it would be delayed for three or two months at most. So, this morning he sent someone to Lianggu Town to invite the most famous Doctor Qin.
"Back to the world, please forgive Qin for saying bluntly, the prince's heart disease is too serious, and it has reached the point where the medicine stone is ineffective, and Qin Mou has no effect even if he prescribes more medicine to dispel stasis and blockage. If the prince continues to tie the knot and become depressed, I am afraid that he will be able to delay it for another half a year at most. Doctor Qin said bluntly.
"Doctor Qin, can you think of another way?" Xuanyuan Chen said anxiously.
"Shizi, please forgive Qin for being incompetent! This is a heart disease accumulated over many years, and Qin really can't cure it. Shizi, Qin said goodbye. After Doctor Qin finished speaking, he walked straight to the gate.
"Chen'er, what did the doctor say?" At this time, Mrs. Rou also walked out of King Xin's bedroom, walked up to Xuanyuan Chen, and asked with a worried face.
"Eniang, don't worry, Doctor Qin said that my father is mainly depressed, and it will be fine if you untie the knot." Xuanyuan Chen said with relief.
"The knot in the prince's heart, I'm afraid it will be difficult to open in this life...... "Mrs. Rou muttered to herself with a low sigh, and then turned around and walked towards King Xin's bedroom. She knew that the knot in the prince's heart was the woman named "Tilt Wan", and the prince had called the woman's name countless times in his dreams. This time, the prince fell ill behind the bed, his consciousness was sometimes awake, sometimes confused, and when he was awake, he knew that she was Rou'er; When he was confused, as soon as she opened her mouth to talk to him, he called her "Tilt Wan".
Xuanyuan Chen has not been annoying lately. Half a month ago, my father's condition suddenly worsened, he collapsed into bed, and his consciousness became sometimes awake and sometimes confused. When he was confused, he always held Eniang's hand, called the name of the woman on the portrait, and talked nonsense. Princess Xin was haunted by the death of her eldest brother, and resolutely refused to give up, and found him several times, asking him to dispose of the second brother and give the eldest brother justice, and Concubine Xin begged him to let the second brother go. In fact, he knows the ins and outs of the matter better than anyone else, and now that the second brother is gone, he doesn't want to kill him. Therefore, the second brother is still in prison, and because he is taken care of by the princess, he has not suffered much. Therefore, now all the affairs of the palace have fallen on his shoulders alone, he can't leave anywhere, and almost all the industries outside are handed over to Shi Qing to take care of. During this time, Lian Yi came to live in King Xin's mansion again on the pretext of visiting his father, pestering him every day. Awan's news is still like a stone in the sea, and there is no news......
Thinking of this, Xuanyuan Chen felt irritable again. "Awan, where the hell are you?" Xuanyuan Chen roared bitterly in his heart.
"Brother Chen, Brother Chen, I knew you were here. Brother Chen, how is my uncle? Are you better? Lian Yi looked at Xuanyuan Chen and said happily.
"You go in and see, and you'll know." After Xuanyuan Chen finished speaking indifferently, he strode out. Why is she here again, annoying him! The people I want to see have no news; People who don't want to see are dangling in front of their eyes every day.
"Brother Chen, where are you going?" Lianyi immediately trotted two steps and followed.
"Go to the study." Xuanyuan Chen said impatiently. There are still a lot of things waiting for him to deal with, so he doesn't have time to chat with her.
"Brother Chen, I'll go too. I'll grind it for you. Lian Yi said as she followed Xuanyuan Chen to the study.
Xuanyuan Chen didn't speak again, and he didn't pay attention to her anymore, anyway, she always had an excuse to stick to him.
Soon it was noon, and Zhu Tao also came to the door of the study to remind her young lady that it was time for lunch. While grinding, he glanced at Xuanyuan Chen's Lianyi in the morning, and finally put down the grinding block, stared at Xuanyuan Chen, and said gently: "Brother Chen, you have been busy all morning, let's go to lunch first, and then come back and continue to be busy." ”
"You can use it yourself, I'll go later." Xuanyuan Chen didn't raise his head, and said lightly while continuing to write on the table.
"Brother Nachen, I'll wait for you to come along." When Lian Yi heard Xuanyuan Chen say this, she picked up the grinding block again and began to grind it again, and said softly.
"Whatever you want!" Xuanyuan Chen said angrily. He doesn't like Lian Yi's old age dangling in front of his eyes, he wants to be pure.
When Xuanyuan Chen carefully wrote some of the documents on how to reduce or reduce the taxes of the people of Zhoushan and how to rectify the scattered army of the palace, he didn't realize that it was already afternoon application.
