Chapter 172: Uninvited Guest
Wen Yi's first reaction was to shake Liu Dongxing's hand off, but unfortunately he shook it two or three times, but it was unsuccessful, and the latter clenched it tighter and tighter.
Wen Yi's face turned red, she bit her lip, and with her other hand, she grabbed the pillow embroidered with white flowers on blue cloth behind her back, and threw it over. Liu Dongxing was suddenly attacked, so he had to turn his head to avoid it, and at the moment when he was slightly distracted, Wen Yi pulled his hand back, and the person stood up and walked out of the door.
"Don't go" Liu Dongxing stood up suddenly, "I'...... I'm not going to make you angry anymore."
Wen Yi stopped and didn't look back: "You...... What the hell do you want me to come here? ”
"I've heard everything." Liu Dongxing saw that she refused to turn around, and was a little anxious, "It's all my negligence, I promise, this kind of thing will never happen again, I have already thought of a way to deal with the second uncle and them."
Wen Yi turned half a body and stared back at him: "That being the case, what are you still doing here?" A moment of grievance came to my heart, and my eyes were red, "Come and see how anxious I am?" ”
"It's not like this...... Liu Dongxing looked at her, for some reason, he always felt that there were hands twisting his heart, liver, spleen and lungs, and it didn't hurt, but it made him so uncomfortable that he couldn't speak, "I'm afraid of you...... I'm afraid you're scared...... I'm afraid you're in a hurry......"
Wen Yi felt even more aggrieved in her heart: "Then you should hurry up...... Hurry up and ......" she bit her lip, but couldn't speak.
Since she is worried that she is afraid, what is the use of quickly solving the person or thing that makes her afraid, sneaking into someone else's house to see her, and letting her quietly meet him in this medicine shop?
Liu Dongxing lowered his head: "I'...... I want to know where you are now...... I've only heard the general story of the matter, but I haven't heard the details yet, so I want to come and see you first...... It doesn't matter...... If I can't see you, I won't be able to settle down, and even if I go back, I won't have the heart to deal with those people......"
Wen Yi's face was a little red, and she felt a little shy in her heart, but she didn't want Liu Dongxing to know about this mood, so she took a deep breath, tried to keep her face straight, slowly walked back to her original seat and sat down, and said dryly: "Don't you know the details?" So where did you hear about it? I remember that you were still in Dongping Mansion before, so you shouldn't have returned to the capital so soon, right? Uncle Liu wants to rehire you as another family's daughter, that is, a few days ago, you received the news so quickly and rushed back? ”
Liu Dongxing hesitated for a moment before nodding and saying, "It's a message from the Luo family." "It's not a deception for him to say that, Luo An...... It was originally the Luo family's manpower, but now it is under Luo Mingmin's subordinates.
Wen Yi misunderstood: "Was it the godmother who asked someone to carry it?" She was full of gratitude to Mrs. Luo Si in her heart, and a little ashamed, because she thought that the other party was a godfather rather than a serious relative, so when she left the Shilang Mansion, the first object of her help was Mrs. Li, and Mrs. Luo Si was only notified by Mrs. Li later, and the other party was so considerate of her, in comparison, she couldn't help but seem a little affectionate.
However, she was also a little puzzled: "Godmother...... It seems that she only got the letter a few days ago, did she carry the letter so quickly? ”
"You just left the Shilang Mansion, and someone sent a letter to the Dongping Mansion." Liu Dongxing vaguely concealed a secret, "Mrs. Luo Si likes you very much as her goddaughter, so she must always pay attention to your news." ”
Wen Yi was not suspicious, and felt even more guilty in her heart: "When I return to the city, I must apologize and thank her." ”
"If you are a mother and daughter, why bother with this? On the contrary, it seems to be divided. You are always close to her, and she may be more happy in her heart. ”
"That's just as well." Wen Yi secretly made up her mind in her heart, raised her head and looked at Liu Dongxing, "I'll tell you the details I know, even if the godmother gets the letter, it may not be clear to me." ”
Liu Dongxing nodded, he also wanted to know, obviously arranged well, why did the second uncle suddenly change his hexagram and catch him off guard?
After a cup of tea, Wen Yi had already explained the incident briefly and comprehensively, and also told Liu Dongxing about his and Mrs. Li's plan of action. After Liu Dongxing listened, he was silent and didn't speak for a long time.
Wen Yi glanced outside the door curtain, Dong Ao's embroidered shoes loomed under the curtain, obviously returning from hot water. She wasn't worried that Dong Kui would leak the news that Liu Dongxing was here, but she felt a little embarrassed, so she whispered to urge Liu Dongxing: "Are you dumb?" Why don't you speak? ”
Liu Dong let out a long breath and felt a little frustrated: "I really have nothing to say, you ...... You and Mrs. Li have arranged it well...... "Even if he doesn't come back, they can save the engagement, right?"
That doesn't mean he really doesn't have to do anything when he returns. There are some things, it is not enough to rely on external forces, he must let the second uncle dispel that idea, and even dispel the idea of doing something with him from now on, otherwise, this matter is solved, and there will be another time, and another time. He still has countless things to do, and ambitions to achieve, how can he leave such a hidden danger?
He raised his head, looked at Wen Yi and said, "I know, presumably at this time, Aunt Li has already gone to the door of the Liu family with Fourth Aunt Luo, and has talked to my second aunt?" Although I don't know what my second uncle and aunt mean, but with the cousin and aunt of the Li family coming forward, they don't dare to act rashly anymore. It's just that this kind of tough method is not a good way to solve things after all, I don't care, I'm afraid that you will ...... in the future will be wronged. Leave it to me."
Wen Yi's face turned red again when she saw him directly call Mrs. Li "Aunt Cousin", and when she heard it, she was secretly happy in her heart, but she couldn't help but ask, "What are you going to do?" ”
Liu Dongxing hesitated, but still didn't confess his plan, it would involve the secret mission he was currently shouldering, there was no need to let Wen Yi know, and there was another person to worry about. So he said, "I have a way to persuade the second uncle to change his mind." In fact, in the final analysis, this matter is that Aunt Bai is not honest, and always wants to stretch her hand where she shouldn't be involved, and get involved in affairs that her identity shouldn't interfere in. I always thought that this matter was the second uncle's housework, and I didn't need to meddle as a nephew, and I hoped that Aunt Bai could add a few more times to the second aunt, so I just didn't know. Now that I think about it, it is harmless to people, and tigers are hurtful. Since she provoked me, of course I can't let her go easily. As for my second uncle, the reputation of spoiling concubines and killing wives is not good, he is just angry with the second aunt, and he thinks that Brother Ning is not promising, so he will be confused. He has been trained in the court for many years, and the importance of the matter can still be distinguished, if he is really obsessed, I will want to tell the matter to a few young and vigorous imperial historians, and refer to a few copies of him, to see if he is still confused."
Wen Yi was secretly taken aback in her heart: "This ...... Does it matter? If Uncle Liu was consulted by the imperial history, the saint would blame him...... I'm afraid it will be widely implicated...... "Uncle Liu has just regained the favor of the saint, and the Gu family is just relieved
Liu Dongxing smiled: "This is not a big deal, at most it is not good-looking, at most it is just a few words of training, at most, it is a punishment and demotion, and it will not hinder the life of the family." Whether it is the Liu family or the Gu family, as long as it is not a major crime, it will not implicate us, so why should we worry about them more? ”
Wen Yi was dumbfounded, she also complained a lot in her heart about the Gu and Liu families who acted unsympatheticly, but she really didn't want to make them suffer a big loss, but what Liu Dongxing said was also reasonable, she hesitated for a moment, and then kept silent.
Seeing this, Liu Dongxing smiled and said, "Don't worry, they won't know that the matter has something to do with you and me, and they will never blame it." Besides, my second uncle is dignified in front of the saint, but he just received a few scoldings, and maybe in the end he won't even be convicted. I just want the second uncle to know the disadvantages of spoiling the concubine and killing his wife, and no longer obey the words of that white aunt, so that the concubine can cause trouble all day long, and find our bad luck."
Wen Yi smiled slightly: "I know, you just have to do it, as long as you don't really annoy your second uncle." He is now in a high position and is the head of a family, you are fledgling and famous, you must not really offend him, otherwise he can cause you trouble at any time. ”
Liu Dongxing's heart warmed and nodded: "I save it, you don't have to worry." Then he paused, stretched out his hand again, held Wen Yi's, and asked softly, "Don't annoy me, right?" This time I was negligent, and there will never be a next time. ”
Wen Yi's face flushed, but she didn't withdraw her hand, but her eyes couldn't help but look out of the door. In the gap under the curtain, Hollyhock's embroidered shoes were gone.
Wen Yi's face turned even redder, and he hurriedly withdrew his hand, looking left and right: "You...... You called me here...... Do you know the shopkeeper well? ”
Liu Dongxing stared at the side of her face for a long time, until her cheeks were so red that they almost dripped blood, and then he said slowly: "No, here...... It's my property. ”
"Huh?" Wen Yi was taken aback and looked back, "Your property?" ”
Liu Dongxing saw her face and was in a happy mood: "Yes, it's my industry." Placed this summer. Together with the shop in front, and the small mansion in the back, there are 100 acres of medium fields on the periphery of the town, which is not fertile, but it is also a small industry in this vicinity. ”
"Why do you ...... Looking to buy property here? Wen Yi was a little puzzled, although the place is very quiet, and there are 100 acres of fertile land, but this place is too far away from the capital
Liu Dongxing smiled slightly: "I didn't buy it for myself, it was for the master." ”
"Mr. Xiao?" Wen Yi's eyes widened, what does this have to do with Doctor Xiao?
"Master's hometown is in a mountain village twenty miles away." Liu Dongxing's mood was a little heavy, "His family and grandchildren are buried there, but his old man was too sad back then and refused to come back for many years." I discussed with Brother Luo, and his old man is now in Pingyin...... It can be regarded as a peaceful and joyful life, but if he is old in the future and wants to return to his roots, but he does not want people to know who he is or meet an old friend, then this is a good place to retreat. In front of the pharmacy, the shopkeeper is my person, honest and reliable, the mouth is also tight, you can help take care of the shop, the master wants to sit in the clinic, or apply medicine, all according to his wishes, if you don't want to practice medicine anymore, there is no problem, although the pharmacy business is mediocre, relying on the production of the hundred acres of land, it is enough to feed him. It is also very convenient for him to go back to his hometown to see or visit the graves of his relatives. He looked up at Wen Yi and smiled slightly, "Of course, if his old man doesn't want to come back, this is still my property, so he can add some income to me." If the ninth sister is interested, may you wish to turn around to see what can be improved, and give me some good suggestions? ”
Wen Yi glanced at him with disgust, and said with a straight face: "It's also a good thing that you can think of placing such an estate for Mr. Xiao." The income is still secondary, the key is that although the place is quiet and far away from the capital, it is only half a day's journey, which is the right distance for Mr. Xiao. In the future, if you are on an errand in the capital, it will be cheap to come and visit him. ”
Liu Dongxing smiled: "That's what I thought, and I also sent a letter to his old man, but he didn't reply for a long time, so he must have hesitated in his heart." I don't want to force him, his heart knot back then, not so easy to ease, if he doesn't want to go back to the sad place, Brother Luo also bought him a similar small industry near Pingyin County and Guihai City, and he can go wherever he likes, which can be regarded as a little filial piety for the two of us as apprentices. ”
Wen Yi's heart was soft, and she only felt that Liu Dongxing at this moment was exceptionally gentle and kind. The world keeps saying that they should respect their teachers, but in addition to the conventions and etiquette, how many people can think of this for the teachers like him and Luo Mingmin? Luo Mingmin was born in a rich family, and buying a small property is nothing to him. But for Liu Dongxing, the cost of buying such a house and land around the capital is definitely not a small amount, and he is afraid that he will feel a little difficult, right? But he did it anyway, not long after leaving Dr. Xiao, how long has he been in Beijing this summer? At most, he has only gained a firm foothold, but he can set up a safe place for Dr. Xiao to live in the elderly. Such a Liu Dongxing is so kind-hearted, filial and courteous
Liu Dongxing's heart was right, and he straightened his waist a little straighter. He could feel the surprise and love in Wen Yi's eyes, which made him feel surging, and he couldn't immediately hold the beautiful woman in his arms and talk about his feelings
There was a commotion in the shop ahead, and it wasn't long before footsteps stepped into the back hall. Dong Kui suddenly said: "Aren't you the prince of King Kang?" How did you come to this place? You carefully step down, this place is simple, I am afraid that you will snub the nobles"
Wen Yi was shocked. Prince Kang? How did he get here?
She stood up helplessly and glanced at Liu Dongxing. Liu Dongxing's face sank like water, raised his hand to signal her to calm down, listened carefully for a while, and heard a young man's voice that had not changed his voice sounded in the corridor outside the door: "You are ...... Miss Gu Jiu's girl? Your young lady is really here, right? It just so happens that I have something to say thank you to her. ”
"Don't ......" Dong Kui gasped and said with a smile, "Lord Shizi, our young lady is resting in the house, ...... You can't go in ......."
He's going to break in? Wen Yi really didn't understand how she provoked this prince, obviously she just sent a snack, and she hadn't left a name Tomoo yet...... You won't lose anything, will you?
Just when she was anxious, the breeze around her gradually moved, Liu Dongxing had already turned behind the screen, and the door of a big red wardrobe standing there opened silently and closed silently. It seems to be a place for the female guests to change their clothes.
Just when Wen Yi was worried about whether Liu Dongxing's hiding place was reliable, the door curtain was lifted, and King Kang had already walked in.
(Surprised?) Ask for a pink ticket~~~ I'm at the bottom of the list now...... )
