Chapter Eighty-Five: Doubt



Wen Yi sat in the Lejia Hall, a little uncertain.

This is a hall hall located near the second gate in the inner house, which was originally used to prepare for a banquet and entertain the guests of the hall when there is a major event in the family. And according to the convention, Wen Yi, as a girl from her own family, came to greet the elders, and she should be welcomed into the old lady's room or the second wife's Duan's room, but she was invited here by the housekeeper's lady, which is really a bit weird. Wen Yi looked at the somewhat deserted house and began to wonder if something special had happened in the long house?

Time passed little by little, after a full cup of tea, no one came to pass the word or lead, Dong Lai also noticed that something was wrong, and asked the girl who was waiting in the house, but she didn't know the essentials, so she walked to the door several times and looked out, stopping someone to ask, but no one could give an answer, Wen Yi couldn't help but be a little impatient when she saw this.

Is it the eldest uncle's grandmother or the second aunt who can't see something? If you can't see it, you should tell her that her intention is not to greet them, but to go to Liu Dongxing. How far can you get from here to the inner house? Can Liu Dongxing come, why did it take so long and still have no conclusion?! Could it be ...... Aren't they going to let him out to see her?!

Wen Yi uneasily picked up the tea bowl and took a big sip, the tea was no longer hot, but it was still warm, flowing into her throat, but it couldn't suppress the uneasiness in her heart.

The elders of this longhouse...... It can't be that he knows what is on her mind, so he deliberately stopped her from seeing Liu Dongxing, right?! But she quickly told herself that it was impossible, that she had never done anything inappropriate, and that even if they didn't allow Liu Dongxing to come to see her, they would have to call someone to talk about it. She didn't come to meet the man privately, she was ordered by her grandmother to come to seek medical treatment, the same is the bloodline of the Gu family, why does Changfang ignore the lives of the people in the ninth room? !

Thinking of this, she calmed down again, but she felt that her mouth was dry, and she hurriedly took a big sip of tea.

Dong Kui glanced at her quietly, and then looked at the mothers-in-law standing beside her, and then raised her voice and said: "Miss, it's hot today, and you have walked so far again, you must be thirsty, can the slave and maid pour you another cup of tea?" ”

Wen Yi was stunned, looked down, only to find that the tea in the tea bowl had bottomed out, and couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, thinking that there was still a servant woman in the long room in the house, she couldn't help blushing a little, so she answered dryly, "Okay", and immediately the mother-in-law carried the teapot and stepped forward to refill the water.

Finally someone came. Hearing the girls guarding outside shouting "Hello sister", Wen Yi knew which elder must have come to pass the word, and hurriedly stood up, but was a little disappointed to find that it was Double Happiness in the eldest uncle's grandmother's house, not Ruyi.

Shuangxi is similar in age to Ruyi, but her complexion is more ordinary, her complexion is fair, her eyebrows are low, and although the clothing materials are extraordinary, they are all dark colors such as brown and green, ochre yellow, etc., which makes people look at it at a glance, but she feels that she is a few years older than she actually is, and the ornaments in her hair are not very eye-catching.

Shuangxi walked into the house and saw Wen Yi standing in front of him, so he stepped forward and curtsied. Wen Yi hurriedly took a step to the side and said with a smile: "Don't dare to be, Shuangxi girl, but the uncle and grandmother have a call?" ”

Shuangxi said respectfully: "Back to Miss Nine, the old lady didn't sleep all night yesterday because of the injury of the Seventh Young Master, so today's spirit is not very good, I heard that Miss Nine is here, although I am happy, but I am also lazy to see it." The second wife was also taking care of the seventh young master's courtyard, and she couldn't come over, so she asked the slave maid to pass the word, asked the ninth lady to sit down for a while, and when the eldest young master of the Liu family was free, let him come over. The second lady has already ordered someone to invite Miss Five, Miss Ten and Miss Duan to come and talk to Miss Nine. ”

Wen Yi hurriedly said: "When I just came in, I heard that the seventh brother has woken up, it must be Da'an, right?" The eldest uncle's grandmother and second aunt's body are important, please take care! I'm a junior, it's nothing, it's just ......" she swallowed, "I don't know when Brother Liu will come out?" I'm still waiting to get back to my grandmother, the patient's condition is critical, but I can't delay it......"

Shuangxi said: "It turned out that our second wife was worried about what had happened to the seventh young master's injury, so she left the eldest young master Liu to inquire carefully, it won't take long to come out, and Miss Nine doesn't have to worry." ”

How could Wen Yi not be anxious? But I couldn't say it clearly, so I had to smile reluctantly and find a topic casually: "Is the sixth sister good?" When I went home yesterday, I heard that she was sick, so she didn't come out, so I must have been frightened, right? ”

The stiffness on Shuangxi's face flashed, and he quickly replied, "Miss Sixth is a little frightened and is recuperating now." ”

A figure flashed by outside, Wen Yi immediately looked up, and was a little disappointed to find that it was not Liu Dongxing, and he was a little careless when he spoke: "Say hello to me, please give her a good life, don't pay attention to the rumors outside......" After a pause, she suddenly realized that she had lost her words, and saw that Shuangxi's face had a different color, and she was busy playing a round: "I just overheard a few uncles talk about it, but it was just a rumor, and only the clan knows, it must be okay outside......" As soon as the words came out, she couldn't wait to close her mouth, She has always spoken cautiously, why did she suddenly lose her words again and again today?!

Dong Que secretly screamed that it was not good, so he opened his mouth and said with a smile for the master: "Sister Shuangxi, Zhuang Shang burned a lot of houses two days ago, are you okay at home?" ”

Shuangxi's face was shocked, and his expression was a little abrupt: "My house also burned a little, and the damage was not big, but my father's arm was smashed by wood......"

Wen Yi hurriedly calmed down and asked, "It doesn't matter if it's hurt, right?" Have you ever gone home to see it? ”

Shuangxi's expression gradually eased, and he bowed his head and said, "The slave and maid still have to wait in front of the old lady, where can I take care of ......?"

Wen Yi thought of Ruyi, sighed secretly in her heart, and said softly: "I'll ask someone to take a look when I go back and see if there is anything I can do to help." I don't have anything else, but I can still get some of the medicine. And also...... The girls in my aunt's house...... Is the family safe? If there's something you want to help with and it's not convenient for you, just come and tell me. ”

Shuangxi's eyes were slightly red, and he curtsied and said, "The slave has thanked Miss Nine first." But he didn't say anything to refuse. Wen Yi knew it.

There was a girl's chatter outside, and when Wen Yi heard it, she recognized one of them as Wen Juan. Shuangxi suddenly saluted her respectfully, and said, "The young ladies are here, and the slave maid has to return to the old lady and retire first." Then without waiting for Wen Yi to speak, he hurriedly turned around and left. Wen Yi was surprised, and didn't understand why she was in such a hurry.

Wen Juan was the first to walk in, and took Wen Yi's hand with some excitement: "Sister Nine, it's good that you can come, I'm almost suffocated at home alone!" ”

Wen Xian, who then entered the door, glared at her reproachfully: "Tenth sister, why are you talking nonsense again?" Don't be afraid to make jokes! He turned his head to Wen Yi and smiled: "Don't listen to her Hu Qin, in the past two days, everyone in the family has been very worried about the injury of the seventh brother, for fear of a case, and they don't have the heart to laugh, until the seventh brother woke up this morning, he was relieved." The tenth sister also relaxed suddenly, and she was so happy for a while that she couldn't stop laughing. He asked again: "I saw Shuangxi here in a trance, why did I leave in a hurry?" ”

Wen Yi said: "I don't know why, I think there is still an errand to do." She looked up at Ke Rou, who was following last, and smiled slightly: "How is Sister Duan?" ”

Duan Kerou's face was a little pale, her expression was stiff, and she replied dryly: "Sister Nine is so ......" and lowered her head, walked to the innermost corner, and found an empty chair to sit down.

Wen Yi was puzzled, but Wen Juan pulled her aside and sat down, and had to listen to her vomit bitterness: "Sister Jiu, you don't know, the family has been worried about Brother Seventh for the past two days, and this should be done." Brother Qi treats me well on weekdays, and he often plays with me when he was a child, but he is injured, and I don't feel good. I just can't stand that guy! She held out her finger and gestured to a "six".

Wen Xian sat down next to her elegantly, waved her hand and drove out the mother-in-law and girl waiting in the house, and even the winter sunflower was opened, before she turned around and glanced at her sister: "Didn't I tell you a long time ago, don't say it again?!" ”

"Afraid of what? Sister Nine is not an outsider! Wen Juan pursed her lips and lowered her voice, "She caused a big disaster by herself, and she also injured the seventh brother, but grandmother actually just grounded her, and let my sister and I often go to relieve her." She deserves it too?! Who was the one who kept talking big before?! Now you still think you're a baby in your grandmother's hand?! Ignore it, we asked her what happened to her in the seven-room house, and she refused to say it when she died, what is this?! Could it be that her own sisters will still laugh at her?! The person who sent her back from Qifang had already told her grandmother and wife, saying that she was just frightened, and there were a few bruises, and then there were clothes that were a little messy and had changed in order to avoid gossip from outsiders. She is so secretive, but it makes people suspicious! She didn't understand herself, we kindly comforted her, she only ignored it, and now she even refuses to see Cousin Liu, giving people a big faceless! ”

Wen Xian sighed, and Wen Yi smiled with some surprise: "She was frightened, so she naturally wanted to recuperate in her own room, what did she do when she saw Cousin Liu?" This is also a common thing. ”

Wen Juan snorted: "Where is she such a person who talks about rules?!" It's just that I'm complaining that Cousin Liu didn't save her! It's really ridiculous, she left Cousin Liu and sneaked out by herself, and now she blames others! Thanks to Cousin Liu, she repeatedly covered up and defended her, the matter was leaked, and she was punished by the third aunt for kneeling! Cousin Liu's temper is also too good, and he repeatedly said that it was his own! I can't even look at it! ”

Wen Yi was about to speak, but she heard Ke Rou interject faintly: "If she has no intention of others, she should have made her clear as soon as possible, otherwise, while asking someone to worry about her, she is still thinking about another, which really shouldn't be ......."

Wen Yi was stunned, and hurriedly looked at Wen Juan, seeing that she pursed her lips with a disdainful look, but she didn't speak, so she went to see Wen Xian again. Wen Xian sighed and said, "Cousin Duan, although there are no outsiders here, you can't speak too casually. Where is the sixth sister like you say? She was just grateful for the saving grace of the son of the world, and wanted to say thank you in person. Wen Juan sneered: "Then why didn't she thank Brother Liu?!" Who is her savior?! was glared at by her sister, and then she retracted her expression.

Wen Yi looked at the three of them, and was shocked. She had also heard that Wen Hui was saved by the son. But it is rumored that Wen Hui and Wen An's sisters and brothers were in distress in the seven-room mansion together, and Wen An was rescued by Liu Dongxing, so it can be seen that when Wen Hui was rescued, the latter was also present, why did Wen Hui only thank the prince? Thinking of Wen Hui's attitude towards the prince before the robbery, Wen Yi fell silent.

Although she also has affection for Liu Dongxing, there are some things that must be done carefully, otherwise, she is the one who is despised by her sisters today. She should be introduced!

There was a commotion outside the hall, and someone reported: "The second wife is here!" Sister Wen Yi and the others hurriedly got up to greet each other. I saw that Duan was dressed in royal blue, neatly dressed, with a smile on his face, and walked in in a good mood, and said as he walked: "Are you sisters here?" Nine girls have a heart, how is your grandmother? I'm about to send someone to see your fifteenth aunt, but your seventh brother can't do without people, I won't be idle until this time, fortunately, your grandmother helps take care of it, your fifteenth aunt is okay, right? ”

Wen Yi replied indiscriminately, and her eyes were fixed on a person, and she couldn't take it off anymore.

Liu Dongxing walked in after Duan. He has changed out of the green satin clothes, changed to a blue-gray gown, tied a black silk around his waist, and hung down a green jade pendant, the image is very different from usual, no longer a nouveau riche like a muddy appearance, but a bit of bookish atmosphere, and there is a faint medicinal fragrance on his body. After not seeing him for two days, he looked a little haggard, a little beard appeared on his chin, and a scar on his forehead was slanted diagonally, which was very dazzling in Wen Yi's eyes.

Duan sat down in the right position, and when he saw his niece hiding in the corner, his face sank, and he smiled: "Why did Kerou sit on the side?" Talk to your sisters! Ke Rou's face turned pale, and she moved her steps slowly, but stopped beside Wen Juan.

Liu Dongxing kept looking at Wen Yi, and was awakened by Duan's words, showing a smile, and said, "I heard that Miss Nine has something to look for me?" Do you want to see the prescription? Show me? ”

Wen Yi's face was hot, she lowered her head and took out the prescription from her sleeve, and she heard Dong Kui whispering "Miss" behind her, she bit her lip and handed the prescription to Dong Kui, who hurriedly took it and put her hands in front of Liu Dongxing.

A trace of disappointment flashed on Liu Dongxing's face, he stretched out his hand to take it, looked down and looked back and forth, but his mind was always messed up, and he couldn't see it, so he had to look up and smile...... Whose recipe? What is the condition of the patient? ”

Wen Yi bowed his head and replied: "It's my seventeenth brother's recipe, he is two months old this year, he is four years old this year, because he was born prematurely, his body bones have always been weaker than others, the night before yesterday, his home was robbed, he was frightened, and he has been feverish. After a pause, he added, "In the midst of the panic, there are some inconsiderate places to eat and sleep." His brother invited a doctor to take a look, so he prescribed this recipe, but after eating it, the fever did not go away. I...... Grandmother saw that the medicine on this prescription was a little strong, and she was afraid that he couldn't stand it at a young age, thinking that Brother Liu was a doctor who knew medicine, so she sent me to ask Brother Liu to reopen a prescription. ”

Before Liu Dongxing could answer, Duan smiled and said: "It turned out that the sixth aunt saw it, and I am still wondering, how can the ninth girl know how to read the prescription at such a young age!" ”

Wen Yi heard it in her ears and sensed that something was wrong, so she couldn't help but look up at Duan, only to see her staring at herself, and then at Liu Dongxing, with some unclear meaning in her eyes.
