"What?" Liu Dongxing didn't hear clearly, and lowered his head to ask Wen Yi.

Wen Yi said: "I saw an acquaintance over there. When I looked back, I was gone. She couldn't help but be stunned, looking around, there were people coming and going on the dock, where was there any trace of Qin Yunni?

Wen Yi was a little depressed: "Probably I read the wrong ......"

Liu Dongxing didn't care, but whispered to her: "I also saw a person I know, who was originally from our camp, and was sent to the Rong'an garrison some time ago, and it is hundreds of miles away from the Kangnan garrison where we are going, and I am afraid that we will have to deal with it often in the future." Although I don't usually interact with him much, when I meet him on the dock, I always go to say hello. ”

Wen Yi hurriedly said: "In this case, you can go, do you need me to go along?" If he brings his family, I can also say hello by the way. ”

Liu Dongxing shook his head and glanced at the distance vigilantly: "He didn't bring his family, and he was in a micro-suit, so he only brought a few long followers, so you don't have to go over, it's inconvenient." He looked back at the teahouse not far away: "I'll go over there and ask for a private room, you can have a cup of hot tea in it and wait for me." After that, he hugged Wen Yi and was about to turn around.

Wen Yi hurriedly grabbed him, a little surprised: "Why bother so much? You're just going to say hello. I'll just get in the car and wait. ”

Liu Dongxing shook his head: "I'm going to delay for a while, your clothes are thin, and the hand stove has been given to someone, where can the carriage block the cold wind?" Don't catch a cold, let's go inside. When I come back from my errands, we'll just eat here and go back when we're done."

Wen Yi wanted to persuade him again, but at this time, he happened to see his eyes, vigilant with a bit of fierceness, and couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, guessing that this "greeting" was fake, but he was afraid that he really had something to do, and he shouldn't hinder him, so he hurriedly said: "Then you go, just ask Shu Ping to go to the private room, there are so many people around me, don't worry." Do you want to bring two more people? ”

Liu Dongxing looked stunned, quickly looked down at her, and she smiled back. Liu Dongxing's eyes softened, nodded and said: Then he called Wang Xiaoer, who was driving, and Gu Wang, who was following the car, to explain a few words, and then left with Shu Ping.

Wen Yi entered the tea shop under the escort of her family and asked for a private room on the second floor, leaving only Qiuguo and Runxin to wait, and the others were sent downstairs to eat, so as not to come back from Liu Dongxing for a while and no one called her.

Qiu Guo asked Xiao Er for hot tea and snacks, and Runxin burned the charcoal basin in the private room, and was about to bring it to Wen Yi, but found that she was leaning against the window, opening a crack in the window to look out.

Wen Yi could see through the gap in the window that in the corner of the dock below, Liu Dongxing smiled alone and waved to a man in black, and then walked over to talk to the other party, without Shu Ping behind him. The man hadn't noticed Dongxing at first, but when he saw him, he was stunned for a moment, and then quickly turned around and ordered his subordinates before turning around and greeting Liu Dongxing with a smile on his face. The two of them were talking and laughing, and their voices were quite loud, and Wen Yi could even hear Liu Dongxing saying something like "I need to take care of me in the future".

She frowned, looked again, opened the window wider, and just saw the entourage who had followed the man just now disappearing around the corner of the street, and not long after, another person followed, the back looked very familiar, and the clothes on his body seemed to be the one Shu Ping was wearing today.

Wen Yi closed the window, and her heart was in turmoil. Runxin asked cautiously: "Big * milk, what's wrong?" Wen Yi shook her head, returned to the table and sat down, slowly sipping tea.

This matter is likely to be related to Dongxing's official business, and she didn't know about it, so let's wait here and don't make trouble for him.

This teahouse was built on the edge of the wharf, people come and go, and the people who come to patronize are all three religions and nine streams, but in order to attract more eunuchs or wealthy businessmen to come, the teahouse specially opened up the second floor, separated by four or five private rooms, specially entertaining distinguished guests, ordinary guests can not come up. Wen Yi closed the door and sat here to wait, she was not worried that someone would collide, but from time to time someone went upstairs and downstairs, and the wooden stairs made a knocking sound from time to time, but it was not Dongxing or Shu Ping coming back, which made her feel a little anxious.

Not long after, someone went upstairs again, this time it was probably a female guest, the footsteps were very light, but a little hurried, hurriedly came to the door of the elegant room diagonally opposite the door, and knocked on the door: "Mother, brother, I'm back." "It's very young to hear.

Wen Yi immediately raised her head, feeling that the accent of this female guest was somewhat familiar.

Diagonally to the person in the door's room responded: "Why did you come back empty-handed?" What about sugar cakes? But it was the voice of a middle-aged woman. Wen Yi's heart moved again.

The woman was a little scared: "I...... I can't find the stall......"

"If you can't find it, forget it, something important." The woman didn't care, but another half-grown child interjected: "No, I must eat, I must eat, I will eat my mother-"

"Good, good." The woman hurriedly coaxed, "I'll buy it for you, my good master, don't call me mother anymore, if you call my aunt, let the king's steward hear it, and he will curse again." ”

The child continued to be spoiled, and the woman ordered her daughter to continue looking for the cake stall: "You must buy it, this is not a rare thing, there is no one here, won't you buy it elsewhere?" ”

The female guest said: "Mother, I have asked others, the stall is on the adjacent street, if I go there to buy, I am afraid that it will delay the hour, so that the king steward knows, and ......."

Before she finished speaking, the child made a fuss again: "I want to eat, I want to eat Auntie, do you ask my sister to buy it for me-"

The woman hesitated: "My good man, what's so delicious about sugar cakes?" Aunt Ming'er will take care to get you a table of delicacies from the mountains and seas, forget it today, it's almost time, it's time for Steward Wang to arrive......"

But the boy refused: "I don't, I don't, I don't, if you don't buy it for me, I won't leave, what's the big deal about the king's stewardship?" He's just my minion" and scolded the girl: "My sister is not good, I'm not obedient, I'm growing up, so I don't want to marry you as a side concubine, you can dream of it."

The young lady began to cry, and the woman hurriedly said: "Good master, she is not good, my aunt turned around and beat her, and she was obedient, and I will not dare to make you angry in the future, you should not be like her." When you grow up, how can you not have a reliable person by your side? ”

Where did the kid understand this, he just shouted: "I want to eat cakes, I want to eat cakes" The voice was very loud, and the shopkeeper heard it, ran up and asked with a smile: "What do you have to say, little master?" ”

The woman quickly sent the person away, and scolded her daughter: "I can't coax my brother, why is it that the older I get, the more stupid I become?" I will take him to buy cakes, you stay here, don't go away, if the king steward comes, you say that I saw that he has not come, and I am worried that he will not find a place, so I will take my son to find him. When he turned around, he coaxed the child very gently: "Son, my aunt took you to buy cakes, don't shout loudly everywhere, you know?" ”

"Okay, good, go quickly" The child was happy, pulled her and ran, knock a few knocks, and then she had already gone downstairs, and the woman called along the way: "Oh, slow down, slow down......"

At last there was silence outside, except for the female guest sobbing lowly, and after a while, she squeaked and closed the door of the private room.

Runxin plucked the charcoal fire in the copper basin, lowered his voice and said: "I don't know which little master it is, such nonsense ......" Qiu Guo smiled and said: "It's just that people are a little confused, it's an aunt and a sister, why do you want to accept your sister as a side concubine?" Could it be that it is a clan? Runxin disagreed: "Which clan would go out without a single entourage?" Most of them are children who are ignorant, and they don't know where to hear a few words of nonsense, so they talk nonsense, right? ”

Wen Yi sat there with a calm face, and said, "Qiuguo, go and invite that girl over."

Runxin was startled, and said with a smile: "Big * milk, although this kind of thing is invisible, it is always someone else's housework......

Wen Yi glanced at Qiu Guo, Qiu Guo immediately turned around to open the door, moistened his heart, bowed his head and walked behind Wen Yi to serve.

Outside the door, Qiuguo's invitation and the female guest politely declined, Wen Yi raised her voice: "Yunier, come here"

There was silence outside, and then the female guest rushed in with some excitement, looking at Wen Yi, her eyes were red, and she was a little incredulous: "Miss? Is that you? You...... How did you end up in the capital? Qiu Guo followed, his face full of surprise.

Wen Yi said angrily: "I got married and came with my husband." I ask you, what just happened? That's your mother and brother? Aren't you going to take refuge with your father's people? How did you come to such a place? And what about your mother and your brother? ”

She is the landlord of Xishan Zhuangzi, and the villagers of the entire Xishan Village are her tenants, although the Qin family left early, she was also a member of the village, so she unconsciously brought the tone of the lord's family when she spoke.

Qin Yunni didn't care, but felt a little kind, and said aggrievedly: "Miss, we have come to Beijing to join the clansmen, but ......" She lowered her head and hesitated.

Wen Yi raised his eyebrows: "Your clan is in Beijing?" So what's the matter with your brother? Isn't he your brother? Why do you call your mother and aunt? ”

"He's not my own brother." Qin Yunni said in a low voice, "He was born to my aunt, his father is the dead King Kang, we escaped from King Kang's mansion, and we lied that he was my younger brother for fear of being discovered." After arriving in the capital, we found his family, so we ......"

Wen Yi was stunned, but there were not too many surprises in her heart. Qin Yunni's younger brother looks like Zhu Jingshen, if it is a half-brother relationship, it is very reasonable. At that time, my grandmother, Mrs. Lu, once said that the Qin widow's behavior looked like a maid of a large family, and her sister gave birth to the son of King Kang, needless to say that it was another affair of the nobles of the clan, which can also explain why Zhu Jingshen sent King Kang's coffin to Beijing, and when passing through Pingyin, the Qin widow would be in a hurry to raise money on the road, and even her daughter was willing to sell it.

Wen Yi looked at Yun Ni again, and found that compared with back then, although she had grown a lot taller, she was thinner, her face was also blue and white, and she didn't have much blood. It seems that even if the little prince returns to his relatives, Yunni's mother and daughter may not be able to enjoy any happiness, not to mention that Zhu Jingshen, the little master of King Kang's Mansion, is a person who is small and ruthless.

Wen Yi thought of the kid who was messing around, and couldn't help but sigh: "Your brother is also eleven or twelve years old, right?" How can you talk and act like a child? used to look quite well-behaved, but now it's like this...... Also, what is the side concubine he said? ”

Yun Ni's eyes turned red again, and she shook her head and said, "Miss, don't ask." I'll do whatever my mother tells me to do, and if I don't, my mother will beat my ......"

Wen Yi frowned: "This is your mother's idea?" How could she have such a ridiculous idea? ”

Yunni shook her head and said, "Mother can't help it." After we arrived in the capital, the prince did not have a good face for us, and several stewards found us a place to live, and a noble person came to preach the holy decree, so that the prince could study with peace of mind. But he doesn't like to read, others spoil him, and my mother and I are almost out of place. The mother said, this will not work, the prince will be destroyed by those people, and they can't be allowed to succeed, so I found a way to wait by the side of the son, and told the son that when he grows up, let me go to make a side room for him, so as not to let others coax him to go. But......" she said sadly, "my brother has been taught badly by those people, and my mother and I want to teach him well, so he will make trouble, and he will grow up so big, and he still looks like a child." He's no longer my brother, he's my son......"

Wen Yi frowned when she heard this, it was related to King Kang's Mansion, and she couldn't deal with it as her own tenant, so she could only try to appease Yunni, and asked, "Where do you live?" ”

Yunni shook her head: "Originally, I lived outside the city, but I came here yesterday, and a royal steward said that he wanted to send us back to the south." Now we're waiting for the boat. ”

Wen Yi was a little surprised: "Back to the south?" Where? Pingyin? ”

"No, it's back to Cannes." Winnie tilted her head, "That's what they said, but maybe they won't stay in Cannes for long, they've got a big ship to go further south. ”

Wen Yi was vigilant in her heart: "Whose idea was this?" Did the king's steward say that? ”

Yun Ni nodded in confusion: "Yes, the king steward also said that he should be quiet, and he can't let the prince know." She was suddenly startled: "Miss, I told you the truth, don't tell anyone."

Wen Yi sighed in her heart, nodded and smiled: "Don't worry, I know how to measure." But he asked Qiu Guo to bring a bag containing ten taels of silver, and handed it to Yunni: "Take it, I see that your situation does not seem to be very good, take this, if you encounter an emergency, you can also deal with it." ”

Yunni wanted to refuse: "How can this work?" Wen Yi insisted that she accept it: "If you don't accept it, it means to be separated from me." Yunni had no choice but to accept it, showing an embarrassed smile: "Thank you, Miss." ”

Wen Yi smiled and said, "Do you remember where my mother's house is?" Seeing her nodding, she said, "If you go back to Cannes and encounter any difficulties, go to my mother's house, and I will greet them." Or when you get to Cannes, go to my mother's house and ask for a letter. I have two brothers who are going to study in Cannes, and I can help you in case of trouble. You leave your address, and when I get the letter, I will send someone to find you, and it will be convenient to contact you in the future. Don't be polite to me, not for yourself, but also for your mother. ”

Yun Ni hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Thank you, Miss, I will ask someone to send a letter to me." Then he shyly pinched the bag, and his voice was inaudible: "And ...... Thank you for your money......"

Knock knock, someone went up the stairs again, Yun Ni was excited, and hurriedly saluted: "I'll go back first, otherwise my mother will scold people again when she sees it......" Wen Yi said quickly: "Don't tell them about me, lest they scold you, go back quickly." ”

Watching Yunni return to the elegant room diagonally opposite, she closed the door again, and almost at the same time, two men appeared in the hallway. The moment Qiuguo closed the door, Wen Yi immediately recognized the two people through the crack in the door, one was the "villager" who had come to look for Zhu Jingshen in the Zhuangzi of the Cha family, and the other was the entourage who had just followed behind Liu Dongxing's colleagues.

Wen Yi turned her back quickly, barely able to hide the surprise on her face.
