Chapter 11: Morwen City & The Long Night
The full moon hanging high in the sky seemed to be staring at the 'lively events' happening in the Li Mansion like a child. I refused to sleep for a long time.
Li Fu saw that the family members who came back couldn't find anyone, and he felt a little more impatient. "Go find me!" he excitedly pointed to the dozens of family members in front of him. Coughed a few times.
"Yes!" echoed the sixty family members who bowed their heads in unison. Yu Bi Du Lisuo went to the backyard, got a torch and went out.
"Steward Li, what protégé?" Feng Lingchu asked Li Fu a little strangely. Li Fu's face changed for a while, and there were four different faces in spring, summer, autumn and winter. A little embarrassed: "The master said that he has martial arts and no ink, and he is a rough man, so he wants to recruit a few protégés to teach him to read and write." ”
"That's not a teacher, how can you say it's a protégé?" Feng Lingchu asked deliberately.
"Childe, you also know the temperament of the master. He was reluctant to call the teacher, so it would be better to say that he was a protégé. Li Fu was a little embarrassed, he didn't know who Feng Lingchu was in front of him, but his master had always wanted to flatter him when he was alive, so he should be a big man.
"Childe, Fubo, Miss...... The young lady fainted. The two were chatting when a maid came and said nervously.
"Go get a doctor. Li Fu called to the family next to him. I ran in a hurry. Feng Lingchu looked at the mess of the Li Mansion, and the people around him were busy with nervous work. But he went out without looking back, and the guards followed closely behind.
The sky opened its eyes slightly, and the delicate person on the bed was as pale as the sky, her face pale and bloodless.
Luan Jing couldn't open his eyes, he slept a little long this night, and he woke up two days later. Before I could fully open my eyes, I saw a light green floating in the eye. Ye Yu brought the boiled medicine to the room early in the morning and made hot water.
Uh~ Luan Jing screamed in pain. And got up and sat up. After listening to the voice, Ye Yu saw Luan Jing get up again. He quickly lifted the soft pillow and placed it behind Luan Jing.
"Girl, are you awake?" Ye Yu looked at Luan Jing fixedly. Luan Jing saw the person in front of him clearly. It's "Ye Yu", but at this time, she is only sixteen years old, one year older than herself, which is the age of growth. The appearance is a little delicate, and it looks a little shy. She thought to herself, but there was no change in her facial expression. "Who are you?" and "Where am I?"
Ye Yu looked at Luan Jing with a blank face and told her the situation carefully. "Girl, don't panic, this place is called Zishangyuan. It was our son who rescued you. The girl drank the medicine first, and our son-in-law would come over at noon. You'll know all about Childe's coming. ”
"How do I know if you're a good guy or a bad guy?" Luan Jing asked with a little innocent look.
"Look at the girl's body, she is so weak, if I were a bad person, I wouldn't save the girl. And the girl is like this now, presumably we are really bad people, and the girl can't leave. A gentle but inexplicably shocking voice came from outside the door. As he spoke, he entered the door, and Luan Jing saw a personable, handsome man approaching.
The words drew both of them in. Ye Yu bowed in front of the man and saluted respectfully.
"Don't be nervous, girl, in the next long night. The man smiled and introduced himself to Luan Jing.
Long night, Mo Wencheng's post guard, said to be a post guard, is actually a friend of Mo Wencheng, because Mo Wencheng's mother saved their whole family, and his father sent him to Mo Wencheng as a scholar when he was five years old. In order to protect and repay Mo Wencheng, he went to study art at the age of six and went for ten years before returning. It's only been three months since I came back. His father died of a serious illness, and his mother and little sister were placed in the upper garden by Mo Wencheng. He has been by Mo Wencheng's side.
"Childe is good. Slave Call...... Jin'er. Luan Jing also replied respectfully. Changye looked at the weak Luan Jing, slowly approached, and then handed her two pills. "This medicine can help you recover your body, you are almost better, but your body is still very weak." You can eat this and your stamina will recover. ”
Luan Jing held the two black pills with some hesitation and looked at them carefully. After a long night, I saw that she was slow to import. Then he asked: "What's the matter, I'm afraid that I won't ...... poisoning" Before the last word fell, I had already seen the woman in front of me swallow the pill. He smiled with some satisfaction. "Then it's okay, I'll go out first, you take good care of her. Changye turned his eyes to look at Ye Yu and said.
Ye Yu replied respectfully: "Yes, the slave will take good care of the young lady." ”
Waiting for people to go, Luan Jing looked at Ye Yu in front of him and said, "You ...... Is it called Ye Yu? I ...... Want to drink some thin rice porridge, do you?" the words were a little slow and felt a little timid.
"Yes, girl, I'll go to the kitchen. After Ye Yu finished speaking, he went out. Strap the door shut. Luan Jing listened to the footsteps and left, so she forcefully sealed her acupuncture points, and slowly drew out the swallowed pill with internal force. Looking at some of the melted black pills, Luan Jing didn't think much about it, just got out of bed and put it in the tea kettle.
Two moments later, Ye Yu entered the door with porridge and chicken soup. Luan Mirror also seemed to be really powerful. Already able to get out of bed. Ye Yu briefly freshened up for Luan Jing. He then led her to sit around the bed.
"Girl, I made you rice porridge and chicken soup, and now it should not be hot. Come on, let's try it?" Ye Yu scooped some rice porridge into the bowl for Luan Jing. Then he stared at Luan Jing, as if to see her drink. Although Luan Jing didn't look at her, Yu Jiao saw that she was staring at herself. So I slowly scooped a spoonful and slowly put it in my mouth. When he reached his mouth, Luan Jing withdrew his hand. A little embarrassed: "No, it's still a little hot." ”
"How can it be hot? I've tried the time. Ye Yu replied. She was obviously a little disappointed when Luan Jing withdrew.
"It's really hot, don't you believe you try it?" Luan Jing scooped a bite and handed it to her mouth. Ye Liu was nervous to block it with his hands. His face remained unchanged and he smiled: "The girl is really joking, this is for the girl." It's never good for me to eat first. Moreover, we are not blessed to eat. ”
Luan Jing glanced at her, and already had a bottom in her heart, there was really something in this porridge. After thinking about it for a while, he smiled and said: "My background is even more humble, if my sister is not blessed to eat, I am even less qualified to eat." Luan Jing looked up at Ye Yu's somewhat changed face again, and replied with a somewhat sly expression: "Could it be that my sister put something in this porridge?"
Ye Liu's face turned pale in an instant. Tu Tu said a little slowly: "The girl really likes to laugh, if the girl doesn't believe it, I'll eat it for the girl." Then he put the spoonful of rice porridge that Luan Jing was holding in his hand into his mouth and swallowed it.
"Girl, I tried it, it's already cold, it's ready to eat. Luan Jing saw that she was a little tight, so she simply scooped out a spoonful and put it in her mouth.
"Poof!" Luan Jing spit out again as soon as he reached his mouth. Somewhat embarrassed, he asked, "Sister, but you added sugar?" I don't like to eat anything too sweet. ”
Ye Yu was also a little surprised, looking at the rice porridge that Luan Jing spit out a little annoyed, but there was nothing she could do. Then he looked at the chicken soup and asked Luan Jing, "What about this soup?"
Luan Jing smiled and nodded. said: "Thank you sister for your understanding, I can drink some of this chicken soup." Then he scooped half a bowl and fed it into his stomach in one gulp.
When Li Yu heard that his younger brother had been killed, he hurried back to Jingzhou day and night, bringing 3,000 soldiers. Back in the house, the plaque of the Li Mansion was wrapped with a white cloth, and everyone in the family was wrapped in a white cloth and dressed in plain clothes, and the coffin was prominently placed in the main hall at the main entrance. Steward Li Fu saw Li Yu at a glance. hurriedly stepped forward and cried: "General, master...... The old man was ......" Before he finished speaking, Li Yu entered the door, took off his armor, walked to the main hall, and bowed affectionately. A little coldly said: "First bury the outside of the staff, and then talk about the rest later." ”
The soldiers behind him were heading in the direction of the west, and no one knew what they were going to do. On the street, I just saw a huge crowd of people trotting in the direction of the yamen. Li Yu beckoned the housekeeper to preside over the funeral. Uncle Xu came from Liuzhou the next day, and Xu's mother accompanied her daughter who was stunned and a little in a trance in the room, and Master Xu had been keeping watch all night. Already went to sleep.
Li Yu changed into plain clothes and knelt in front of his younger brother's mourning hall, his eyes full of murderous intent. The general's samurai emotional drama is already heavy, and everyone has a hunch that he must be stirring up this Jingzhou.
At noon, the sun was rising, and the sky was slightly warm. Luan Jing snuggled up to the head of the bed as if resting, and when he entered the door at night after a long night, he couldn't hear a sound. Until the words of the long night came out. "Miss Jin is resting?" asked a little awkwardly. I had already entered the door and asked like this.
Luan Jing opened his eyes. Seeing Changye standing in front of him, he was not unexpectedly surprised, but just nodded. "I've rested enough, is there something wrong with the eldest son looking for me?"
Changye immediately smiled lightly, glanced at Luan Jing and said, "Childe is invited." The words are contemptuous. Luan Jing's heart was in turmoil.
Walking into a garden, most of the flowers have withered, and the rest is unbearable. But some of the small trees are still green. As Luan Jing walked, he heard a melodious sound of the piano coming into his ears, and then continued to walk, only to see a man sitting in the pavilion playing the piano. After a long night, he sent the Luan mirror to the pavilion and left.
Mo Wencheng was still playing unhurriedly, and only after a moment had passed did he let go of his hand. Then he raised his head and looked at Luan Jing with some meaning. "It's really a beautiful embryo. ”
Luan Jing looked at the familiar face, and the corners of his mouth rose a little, and he saluted him. smiled: "Childe has a good piano sound." ”
Mo Wencheng looked at her, and said with a shallow smile: "How can Wen Mou compare to Miss Jin on the art of the qin." Then he asked, "I wonder what Miss Jin heard in my piano?"
Luan Jing listened to his words and recalled carefully: "Gongzi's piano has a melodious sound, although it is good, it is mixed with unyielding and a little dissatisfied, and the sound of falling and turning to a sharp tone makes people feel that they have the spirit of a king." Presumably, Childe wants to express more than just the sound of the piano, right?"
Mo Wencheng was obviously a little surprised when he heard her answer, but he was also a little happy, it was rare for someone to know what he meant. "What a clever girl. I guess such a smart girl is now wondering how she is here, who am I, right?" Mo Wencheng smiled indifferently.
Luan Jing couldn't help laughing, these words were still exactly the same. Then he said: "I don't care who Childe is, I only care about how I can go back." ”
Mo Wencheng was a little surprised by her words, and looked at her again. His eyes were a little complicated, but he didn't stay long, but he regained his expression after a moment and said, "Do you know what you did?
Luan Jing said coldly: "I know, I killed Li Yuan, and everyone was looking for me." I want to go back, and I can't let the innocent girl take the blame for me. There was some excitement between the words.
"Why do you go back when you know you've killed someone? You know you're going to die when you know you're going back? and...... I know that I am wrong, why do I want to do it again?" Mo Wencheng's words had begun to soften a little.
"Why should I tell you? You know that when I killed someone, I must have seen me kill and still rescued me. Childe, I don't know if I'm stupid or if Childe is too scheming. I can't even think of what you're going to do?" Luan Jing chuckled. Mo Wencheng looked at Luan Jing, listening to the words of the woman in front of him, he couldn't help but smile, and said to himself, "It's really a little presumptuous." "But I like this kind of girl. After all, it should be very useful for me in the future.
Mo Wencheng smiled evilly again, and then the corners of his mouth muttered to himself, and his hands lightly picked out a piano note. In half a moment, Luan's mirror image changed into a person. Immediately bowed his head obediently. "Master." ”
"Who are you?" Mo Wencheng's mouth moved, but he didn't hear a sound.
"Returning to the master, my name is Luan Jing, the new Oiran of Huayue Building, Liu Ming Jin'er, who has lived in Huayue Building since childhood......" Luan Jing Zhili replied. It seemed that he had repeated everything that Mo Wencheng knew for him, and Mo Wencheng was also very satisfied with the answer. After thinking about it for a while, he gently called to Luan Mirror: "Go back to Hualou and take Li Yu down." ”
"Yes!" Luan Jing replied resolutely.
Mo Wencheng gave the task for Luan Jing, and it was already ready, so he immediately put his hand on the xylophone in front of him and played a scale with his index finger. Luan Jing was in a trance. The face has become normal. Repeat what you just said. In a cold tone, he asked, "Childe, how can I go back?"
Mo Wencheng smiled, with an incomprehensible complication in his eyes.
"I'll send someone to take you back. I'm going to change my name. Li Yu knows your name, but he hasn't seen anyone. Just call 'Lan Yue'?"
"Gongzi Xie gave the name, and the slave family's own name needs to be ordered by Mother Liu. Xie Gongzi is kind. ”
