Chapter 171: A note



In an instant, Wen Yi was surprised, delighted, and a little panicked, she recognized the outline of the man's face in front of her by the dim moonlight, which was Liu Dongxing after a long absence.

She couldn't help but ask urgently, "Why are you here?" When did you return to Beijing? He looked around again: "You're doing this kind of thing again, what if someone finds out?" ”

"Ninth Sister." Liu Dongxing held her hand tightly, seemed to be a little excited, and seemed to be trying to keep calm, "You...... Are you okay? Rest assured, I've heard it all."

Heard? What did you hear?

Wen Yi was stunned, and immediately reacted. He's ...... I heard the news that the Liu family is going to destroy the marriage and hire another daughter? Thinking of this, she felt a little aggrieved in her heart, her eyes turned red, she pulled out her hand, turned her head and said, "So you heard about it?" DID YOU KNOW THAT...... Do you know that I ......" she bit her lip and lowered her head, for some reason, she blurted out the words against her will, "You are getting more and more interesting now, if you fall in love with other girls, dislike me as an orphan girl, tell me the truth as soon as possible, I will never pester you"

Liu Dongxing's face sank: "What nonsense are you talking about?" ”

When did she talk nonsense? Wen Yi remembered that he said "wrapped up in him" and "there will be no problem" every time, but in the end, something happened. Now it's a good thing, so she simply left here, leaving her alone and dealing with those people. Didn't he promise again and again that there would be no change in the marriage contract? Why did she have to spend countless efforts to save her mind when someone changed her mind lightly and skillfully?

The matter has come to this point, since he heard about it and rushed back to Beijing, why didn't he hurry up and tell his uncle? But what is the use of sneaking to her?

Although reason told her that it was not Liu Dongxing's fault, he was also powerless about it, after all, it was his closest elder, the patriarch of the Liu clan, he was still young and fledgling, and the other party was in a high position, and he was powerless to be the enemy of the other party. However, Wen Yi still felt aggrieved in her heart, she was thousands of miles away from home alone, at this moment, she had no one to rely on, and after so many days, she finally met him, and she couldn't help but want to confide.

It's a pity that this is not the right time to pour out your heart. Wen Yi looked up at the lantern light and figures approaching in the distance, bit her lip and said gloomily: "You go, this is not the place to talk." "If it really makes someone break it, and her reputation is damaged, he won't be able to please him either. He is going to take the martial arts exam next year, but don't be sued at this time and lose his hard-won fame.

Liu Dongxing also saw the shadow of the visitor, but he still had a lot to say to Wen Yi, and finally found out the news of her, finally sneaked in, and finally found her, do you want to give up this opportunity?

The people came closer and closer, Wen Yi even felt that she could hear their footsteps, and seeing that Liu Dongxing had not moved for a long time, she couldn't help but feel anxious and hurriedly pushed him. Liu Dongxing took a deep look at her, quickly stuffed something into her palm, and as soon as he turned around, it was gone.

Wen Yi only felt that the black shadow flashed in front of her, and Liu Dongxing was gone, and she couldn't help but be stunned, and then she heard a mother-in-law's question: "But Miss Gu?" How are you alone here? She immediately came to her senses, and said with a reluctant smile: "I have only been walking outside for a while, and I am about to go back to the house, and my legs and feet are a little tired, so I will stand for a while." "Clench your hands into fists, hide them under your sleeves, and feel the stiffness of your palms.

Seems to be a note. I wonder what is written on it?

The mother-in-law with the lantern didn't see her abnormality, and laughed there: "Why didn't your girl follow her?" Fang Cai Xiao came over from Miss Li, and heard that she was angry with Young Master Li, do you want to go over and take a look? ”

Wen Yi heard the words and said, "Really? Thank you for telling me, I'll go back. With that, the woman hurriedly took two steps with a lantern to light the way for her, and in a short time she arrived at the courtyard where she was temporarily staying, and then turned and left.

Wen Yi lived in the east wing of the courtyard, and Li Chunxi lived in the west wing, as if he heard the footsteps of her and the mother-in-law, and immediately rushed out: "Are you back?" I made tea, come and drink it."

Wen Yi pinched the note under her sleeve, secretly hid it in her sleeve, and then entered the west wing, glanced around, and saw that there was no third person in the room except for the two of them, so she reluctantly smiled: "I heard that Brother Dong just came?" Did he make his sister angry again? ”

Li Chunxi sighed, and unexpectedly did not count his younger brother as usual, but sat at the table and took a sullen sip of tea: "That kid doesn't have a heart." Do you know what he just came to tell me? For the fact that the prince of King Kang fell off his horse today, Miss Cha ordered someone to kill the horse that caused the trouble, and fined the horseman on the village with twenty whips, and the person was so injured that he couldn't get up now. The boy said that it was not the stable's fault, and told me to intercede with Miss Cha, and ask a doctor to come and see the stable, and save his life."

Wen Yi was stunned, and then said slowly: "This matter is the internal affairs of the Cha family, but we are not good to interfere...... But Cha Yue knew that it was the willfulness of King Kang's son, and he had to ride a horse to cause this disaster. How could the stablemen on the Zhuangzi refuse the orders of the nobles? And King Kang's son fell off his horse, and he didn't hear that it was a problem with horses, and it was wronged to kill a horse, so why whip the horse again?

Watching Zha Yue act on weekdays, doesn't he seem to be such a cold person?

Maybe...... Is this to reduce the guilt of the Cha family? After all, King Kang's son had an accident in the Zhuangzi of the Cha family, if the palace investigates it, the Cha family has already punished the relevant people, etc., as long as the prince's injuries can heal quickly, presumably the palace will not blame the family of the important ministers too much, right?

However, the stableman was indeed a little wronged.

Wen Yi looked up at Li Chunxi and said with a wry smile: "Brother Dong is a kind-hearted child, and there are some people who can't get used to this. However, the person is the one who investigates the family, and the beating is also made by the investigation family, and the reason is also legitimate, what can we persuade us? If you haven't fought yet, it can be said that God has the virtue of a good life, and now you have beaten it...... If you persuade your family to ask for a doctor, you will inevitably be a little overstepping. I saw that the servants in this village were scattered around the master's house, and the Cha family usually did not come often, so they must not be strictly controlled, and the stableman did not know if he had his own place to live? Let Brother Dong inquire and inquire, and get the letter, let's ask the little guy in the family to quietly invite a doctor to come over to show him, and let our people do it quietly when they grab the medicine, so you don't have to alarm the family, isn't it cheap? I think...... Miss Cha may not really be annoyed by the stable, but King Kang is injured and has to do something to show others. ”

Li Chunxi blinked, and his expression became cold: "Oh, I see. That's a good idea. Then he fell silent.

Wen Yi was shocked, thinking that she was annoyed with herself, and hurriedly said: "Don't be angry, I'm just thinking about ......"

"I'm not angry," Li Chunxi interrupted her, "I know what you mean. If you were also a person like Cha Yue, you wouldn't have asked our little servant to secretly ask the doctor to go and see the stableman. I just think ......" She frowned, as if she was a little unsure of what to say, and hesitated for a while before saying, "We don't seem to be all the way with Zha Yue." ”

Wen Yi opened her mouth and fell silent. She had already found out. Not only Zha Yue, but even the Ruan family sisters or Long Ling, Long Ling may be better, but the Ruan family sisters and Zha Yue are both powerful in the family, although they have a good temperament and have no quarrel when getting along with others, but sometimes they talk and act, and what they think about are two different things. For example, when dealing with the prince of King Kang, Wen Yi will think that he is an orphan, strange and pitiful, even if he loves to mess around, don't treat him too lightly; Li Chunxi will feel that it doesn't matter if his younger brother plays with a boy of the same age, if the other party likes to cause trouble, it is better to stay away to save trouble, but he will not think of other identities or status; But Zha Yue treats this prince as he wants, but he can scold as much as he wants, and leave it if he wants to drop it, and only when he is at a loss, he is willing to whisper and greet him; When the Ruan family sisters persuaded her, they would only say that they should not ask the palace to blame her for praising her high and stepping on low, it was completely from Zha Yue's position, and they didn't think about how the prince himself was.

Maybe it's the daughters of high-ranking families who have to be more careful in their actions, Wen Yi feels that she is a little harsh, at least, these new friends are really with her, and she has nothing to do with herself. With different backgrounds, they naturally think differently, they still have relatives at home to worry about, even when she is an orphan girl who grew up in the countryside, and when she can't help herself, how can she blame these friends who are already from the family of high-ranking officials and eunuchs?

What's more, although she only made friends with them after discovering that they were easy to get along with, but this successive gathering was to achieve her own goals. Even so, she and these daughters still get along well, too close, sooner or later she can't help but persuade them, and it will inevitably hurt each other's feelings at that time.

Thinking so, she raised her head and said to Li Chunxi: "It's all my troubles, I brought you to this place, but I hurt your hearts." ”

"What does this have to do with you?" Li Chunxi said coldly, "Did you hurt someone and fall off the horse, or did you hit the stableman?" It's time for your responsible personality to change, don't you think I'm the kind of person who doesn't know what to do? After a pause, "Although I'm not used to seeing the actions of the family, but the others are okay, before dinner, I compared weapons with Long Ling a few times, her marksmanship is not inferior to mine, only the knife and stick skills are slightly inferior to me, and I can be regarded as a friend to make." ”

This is the meaning of reassuring Wen Yi, after all, Wen Yi introduced her to know more than just Zha Yue's friend.

Wen Yi smiled slightly, revealed the matter, and chatted a few more gossips before saying goodbye and going back to the room.

The hollyhock had returned, and her eyes were still a little red and swollen, but it seemed that her emotions had calmed down. She knelt down to Wen Yi and said, "The slave has no form, but she actually delayed the errand, please punish the young lady." ”

"Get up." Wen Yi smiled, "It's good to think about it." We won't stay here for long, that son is just a guest to you and me, you just have to treat him as if he is not there. It's getting late, make your bed, and go rest. ”

Tomallow kowtowed and took the order. While she turned her back to make the bed, Wen Yi hurriedly sat down at the table, used her body to block her possible vision, took out the note from her sleeve, and glanced at it hurriedly by candlelight.

There's an address written on it. The address of a pharmacy.

This pharmacy is located in a small town called "Shannan", and Wen Yi remembers that on the way to Chajia Zhuangzi, she once passed by this town, which was only four or five miles away from Zhuangzi, and the villagers here went there to buy anything. There are also doctors in the town, but their medical skills are not outstanding, and the doctors in the neighboring villages are closer, so Cha Yue did not let people go there to seek a doctor.

Liu Dongxing gave her the address of this pharmacy, was he suggesting that she was going there? But...... She had come to Chajia Zhuangzi as a guest, how could she run to the town?

Wen Yi silently memorized the address above, hesitated for a long time, and after the hollyhock went out, he put the note on the candle flame and burned it. When she woke up the next morning, when Zha Yue vigorously invited her friends to play for another day, she did not propose to go back to the city, but took advantage of the unpreparedness and quietly pulled Li Chunxi: "Wait for a while, I will go to the nearby town under the pretext of shopping, you can send a few people to accompany me, and go to the doctor to grab medicine?" ”

Li Chunxi remained silent, but quickly understood what she meant, and after a while, he made a request to Zha Yue. Zha Yue readily agreed, although her family is also strictly controlled on weekdays, but compared with other official eunuchs, it is quite loose, and she can occasionally go out to play with her family. Seeing that Wen Yi and Li Chunxi had this Yaxing, she simply encouraged everyone to go to Wen Yi to feel annoyed, and finally persuaded her to agree, and when everyone arrived in the town, they went separately and looked for places of interest.

Everyone took a dozen carriages, took a large group of girls and women, and dozens of family members accompanied them to the town. Li Chunxi was dragged by Long Ling to a blacksmith shop specially introduced by Zha Yue, Li Dongrui had already accompanied Wen Yi to another way under the hint of his sister, and soon found the inconspicuous pharmacy in the corner of small Shannan Town.

Li Dongrui was concerned about the horseman's injury, and when he saw that there was a doctor in the pharmacy, he immediately pulled people into the carriage and left the town. Wen Yi told him that she would wait for him to come back in the pharmacy, so as not to check the family's notice. Most of the servants of the Li family were also taken away, leaving only two family members to guard the door of the pharmacy, and two mothers-in-law waiting in the shop. Wen Yi took Dong Kui, welcomed by the shopkeeper and his wife, into the back hall of the pharmacy, through a short secluded corridor, into a quiet room, it is said that this is the place where the shopkeeper usually uses to greet female guests who are inconvenient to show their heads.

The small quiet room was very clean, although there were only a few simple pieces of furniture, the small kang burned very warm. On the kang table in front of the window, there is also a celadon vase, and two branches of plum are inserted. In front of the vase, there is a set of clean tea sets, and there are two pillows embroidered with white orchids on the kang background, which are the same material as the mattress, which looks a little simple and elegant.

Dong Que touched the tea set and said, "It's hard to be a shopkeeper and a couple, but it's a pity that the tea is cold." The slave and maid went to ask for some hot water. ”

Wen Yi wanted to say no, but when she saw a pair of familiar boots flashing outside the blue cloth door and window, she immediately changed her words: "Then you go, don't just care about me here, ask for hot water, and send it to the people waiting outside first." Those are all people from the Li family, don't let them be cold. ”

Hollyo answered and lifted the curtain. Wen Yi sat on the edge of the kang, saw that the boots had not come in for a long time, bit her lip, snorted coldly, and turned around.

As soon as the door curtain was lifted, Liu Dong walked in, still with a little cold on his body. He walked across from Wen Yi, pulled over a round stool and sat down, then reached over and held Wen Yi's hand.

(Finally able to speak well, wipe sweat...... Ask for a pink ticket...... )
