Chapter 557: Meng Xiaoqi
The reason why Meng Xuan wanted to go to Qingzhou was because of the riots in Qingzhou, and on the Kun Space side, Li Jinglong recommended his third brother Meng Ying. Meng Ying's fame is greater than her strength, and she suffered a big loss when she was in Qingzhou, not only did she cross the flag from the emperor, but also suffered a lot of physical and mental scars, which could not be recovered in the past few years. Meng Xuan originally planned to quietly tie up the rebel before the bloodshed in Qingzhou, so that the matter would be eliminated invisibly, and even the emperor would not have to be alarmed.
Now in the delay of only a few days, that incident happened suddenly and expectedly, and because he has shown his talent several times here, Li Jinglong knows him, but he doesn't know his brother, and he is also the candidate for the commander proposed by the emperor. This was originally a better thing to save Meng Ying from adversity, but that was based on the premise that He Angelica was not missing, and now-
He felt that if he could not find her again, he would be like a tree with a severed rhizome, and he would not be able to find the slightest life. Throwing himself on the bed, he lay down on all fours, and said to the messenger: "I am sick, and since the emperor has appointed the eldest brother and the second brother at the same time, and they are both ten times better than me, then it is okay for me to go a little later." Anyway, there is no limit to the number of days of the Holy Decree, and I will not be subject to the orders of the foreign kings, and I am very sick, and going will only drag them down. ”
The messenger Li Jian had never seen such a spiritless Meng Xuan, who looked like he had lost his soul, his eyes were scattered, and he was weak to speak. And Li Jian also knows some techniques of ambiguity, seeing that the face of the seventh prince does not look like he is seriously ill, is it because he is young and young, and he heard that he wants to be in charge of the handsome seal alone, so he is scared like this? It is also possible that no matter how capable the seventh prince is, he is only sixteen years old, and if he receives such a holy decree from another child, he will already hug his wife and the old lady and cry.
So Li Jian anxiously persuaded: "Seventh Prince, this matter is very important, you can't drop the chain here." Hearing that the emperor in the palace heard about the matter of Qingzhou, Long Yan was furious, and wanted to bring the useless Qingzhou prefect Wang Qi to justice, and sat the whole family together, which shows the emperor's attention to this matter. Although the trip to Qingzhou is dangerous, with the help of the eldest son and the second son, nothing will go wrong, the key is that you yourself will be present. Even if you wait for a while, you stay in the rear to 'command and sit', and let the second son and them fight, and your people will have to go to Qingzhou. ”
He said it clearly that Meng Xuan was timid and afraid, although he had no disrespect, but whoever listened to it was not angry, and men couldn't help but be looked down upon. But as soon as the amnesiac little wife ran away, thinking of all kinds of accidents that might happen to her, Meng Xuan didn't even think about half of it, so rude words couldn't stimulate him.
He opened his godless eyes widely, his eyes moved slightly, and he smiled bitterly: "Then you prepare a carriage and a horse, and take me to Qingzhou." Asked for a car with a bed, I was sick. ”
Li Jian breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly arranged it, and set off that night, and a team of more than a dozen people headed for Qingzhou. First boarded the boat and walked the waterway for half the night, then moved the cart and disembarked and began to walk on the dry road until noon on the second day. Li Jian is Meng Shan's confidant, and Meng Shan's order is to tell him to report the news and return immediately, but seeing that the seventh prince is temporarily frightened, he has no choice but to act as a housekeeper and nurse, and escort him all the way to Qingzhou.
At the same time, he also heard about the eldest prince Meng Xian, the ninth prince, and the eleventh prince cutting off news near Qingzhou at the same time, and sent a letter to the capital Meng Mansion to consult the lord's opinion. The eldest son is missing, the seventh son is sick, and the second son is also young in the end, whether to urgently transfer the two adults from Shanhaiguan to save the scene.
In this way, he drove for three days in a row, because the seventh prince had been recuperating in the carriage, and the road was not easy to walk, and when he encountered the narrow mountain road that the carriage could not pass, Li Jian had to go into battle shirtless, and personally carried the seventh prince over, and even the carriage had to be dismantled and tied to the horse to be transported across the mountain road, so the journey was extremely slow. Li Jian was very anxious, and couldn't help but secretly complain that Hou Suri of Baoding held the seventh prince too high, and now he knew that he couldn't do it when he climbed the platform, how could he not make people strangle! You must know that the holy decree is as great as a mountain, and he can't do it alone, but it will affect many people.
But in the afternoon of the same day, the seventh prince cried and vomited, muttered something in his mouth, and fell into a coma in an instant, and he didn't know what to do, and he couldn't even breathe. Li Jian panicked, trembling and trembling to check the pulse of the seventh prince, but he couldn't see anything wrong, and he didn't know what medicine to take. What's more, they can't go to the village or store halfway through, and they have nowhere to find medicine when they open a prescription, and they are really anxious to die.
At this time, a peasant girl in a blue dress and a blue dress came over, took a look, and said that he was infected with a local wind disease, which could be alleviated by taking some medicinal tea. There was medicinal tea in the basket she carried on the crook of her arm, and she poured out half a bowl to feed the seventh prince, and sure enough, the breath was much smoother.
Li Jian was overjoyed and gave the girl in blue ten taels of silver and asked her to go to Qingzhou with their chariot and horse team. The girl said she didn't sell herself into slavery. Li Jian hurriedly said, not a slave, even if you spend money to buy her feet, it will not take more than a month to go back and forth, and there will be a lot of thanks afterwards, if you are worried about the family, you can also send someone to say. The girl said that she didn't need to tell her family, but she could come when she wanted. Li Jian also agreed to her.
So the girl in blue got into the carriage, Meng Xuan slept on the couch, and the girl sat on a stool to take care of him. He didn't wake up much afterwards, and he didn't talk much when he woke up, and after drinking her medicinal tea for a few days, he gradually got better, and saw that the slender back of the girl in blue was very similar to He Angelica, so he couldn't help but ask her for more bowls of tea, and said a word to relieve his mood. The girl was afraid of life, so she didn't pay attention to him, and only replied one sentence in ten sentences.
Just when the carriage was about to run on the ground in Qingzhou, Li Jian finally had hope, it turned out that the lord of the capital received his message, just when the third prince Meng Ying and Miss Xiao returned from the north to do business, the lord saw that the third son had grown up a lot, and there was a look after the experience between his eyebrows, and the lord was happy, so he asked the saint and sent Meng Ying to Qingzhou to help. So the third prince and Miss Xiao came to Qingzhou non-stop, just in time to catch up with their chariot and horse team.
The two sides stopped the reins, Li Jian finally waited for a decent master, and hurriedly told Meng Ying about his sincerity, and Xiao Suxin left for two months, there was not a moment when he didn't think about Meng Xuan, and when he heard that Meng Xuan was sick, he hurriedly ran to the carriage, lifted the curtain to see, and took a look at a girl in blue with a fair complexion and slender eyebrows.
"Who are you?" Xiao Suxin's heart was panicked, and his mouth was not very polite. As far as she knows, Meng Xuan never needs slaves and maids, and she doesn't like to smell the general smell of fat powder, who is this girl?
The girl in blue lowered her eyebrows, did not answer, got up from the small stool, and wanted to get out of the car. Seeing her look like this, as well as some "arrogant" attitude, Xiao Su was suspicious that she was the girl who Meng Xuan accepted the house, and she was very unhappy. Behind the gauze tent, Meng Xuan, who was lying with his back to them, was alarmed, and when he turned around and saw Xiao Suxin coming, he got up and beckoned her to drink tea, and called the girl in blue who was getting out of the car: "Good sister, pour two more bowls of tea." ”
After pouring the tea, the girl in blue got out of the car without saying a word, Meng Xuan took a sip of the tea bowl and beckoned Xiao Suxin: "Drink it while it's hot, this tea is the best when it's hot." ”
Xiao Suxin said that he was not thirsty now, and the tea bowl did not move, and asked a few words about Meng Xuan's physical condition with concern, and then asked tentatively: "I heard that you were separated from the county lord of Qingning in Luzhou?" You haven't been able to see her? So, what are you going to do now? ”
Meng Xuan was hurt by her words, couldn't answer, covered her mouth and coughed twice, then poured tea violently, drank his bowl, and went to drink Xiao Suxin's bowl.
In other words, although Xiao Suxin is not in Yangzhou, her "eyes, ears, gods, and mind" have been ambushed by Meng Xuan's side for many years. This time, Yi Yu didn't report in time, but the other three subordinates each passed the news to her in the north, and combined the three pieces of news, she knew everything about Meng Xuan's recent situation.
Xiao Suxin heard the version that on the first day He Angelica got married, the two quarreled, He Angelica was demoted to a concubine, and Meng Xuan left angrily. Who knew that a few days later, some hungry people who were displaced in the land movement passed through Qingyuan, He Angelica scattered some food to the hungry people, and the red luck was hit by the emperor, so he sealed the lord of Qingning, and I heard that the lord also intended to let her be Meng Xuan's main room. Because of Mrs. Su, it is necessary to slow down.
Reading the letter and reading this, Xiao Suxin's heart reached his throat, but things took a turn for the worse. He Angelica ran away from home, Meng Xuan chased and ran to find Luzhou, and two days after the two of them got better, He Angelica ran away again, making Meng Xuan anxious half to death.
Combined with the half-life Meng Xuan in front of her, it just confirmed the few family letters she had read, seeing Meng Xuan's lazy and lazy expression, and not caring about everything, Xiao Suxin was very distressed, and said with relief: "Young couples, how can there be people who don't quarrel and quarrel and have a red face, then Miss He is a squeamish person, she can't stand the slightest grievance, and it is inevitable to run out after eating grievances at home, you just take care of more." Why bother with your own body, maybe in two days, she will come back by herself, but you are dragged down, isn't it worth the loss. ”
If it was He Angelica in the past, of course, he had the ability to go out and come back completely, but now he ...... Meng Xuan was dumb and ate Coptis chinensis, and she couldn't say anything about her suffering, so she only said that she was tired, and she would talk to her when she had the spirit. was given an eviction order, and before Xiao Suxin got out of the car, he took the opportunity to ask who the girl in the blue cloth dress was, and did she accept the house? Did He Angelica run away from home because of her?
Meng Xuan coughed and said, that is a peasant girl hired by Li Jian, who can make delicious medicinal tea, and will send Yi home in two days when she arrives in Qingzhou, so you can't guess. Xiao Suxin got a satisfactory answer, pushed open the curtain and got out of the car, and chuckled when she passed the girl in blue, the girl lowered her head slightly, and her face was pale and pale again, which made Xiao Suxin feel a little unhappy again.
This time to the north, Xiao Suxin experienced several times of life and death, and her temperament became radical, thinking that life was only a few dozen cold and summer, Shaohua was only a few years, and she was so much older than Meng Xuan, she really couldn't afford to wait. Hearing that Meng Xuan and He Angelica were not going well, she was even more ready to move here, and she had the courage to strangle all her rivals in the cradle.
So in front of the peasant girl, Xiao Suxin whispered threatening words: "Pour your tea well, it's just on the way, and when I get to the Qingzhou Post House, let me see you serving in his room, I won't underestimate you anymore." ”
The girl in blue lowered her head, and replied in a shallow voice: "The woman is full of righteousness and awe-inspiring, I admired it once I saw it, how can I say it but not be respectful, I am just a little peasant girl, the woman doesn't even have this bit of energy, how can I follow the Seventh Prince?" ”
Xiao Suxin changed color and said coldly: "You know a lot, who said these words to you?" "How can an illiterate peasant girl speak in a coherent manner, tangible and boned?
"No one said that," the girl in blue walked away, "I guessed it myself." ”
At the same time, in the carriage, Meng Xuan, who was pretending to be asleep, heard the conversation between the two daughters word for word, and her heart was turbulent. It turned out that Xiao Suxin had such a heart for him, and it turned out that she still had such a harsh and outspoken side. An old friend of his two lives.
