Chapter Seventy-Nine: Misfortune
Xue Xingyi was confused, she was a chic and open-minded child of the rivers and lakes before that night, but now she has become an ordinary woman who is restrained and polite, which makes him regret that he impulsively revealed his heart to her.
"Fourth Miss, you and my family affairs are all up to you, and I, Xue Xingyi, have no reluctance."
"Thank you."
Wang Wan'er arched her hand, restrained the flustered emotions in her heart, and now she couldn't say more than these two words.
Xue Xingyi didn't wait for her reply, his expression darkened, he knew that the two didn't know each other well enough, if she really rejected herself, he wouldn't dwell on it too much, but now he wouldn't let go easily.
"I have heard for a long time that the leather whip in your hand is very powerful, and I will encounter a few tricks in the future."
"Okay."
Wang Wan'er nodded, secretly amused in her heart: What is he doing here? Ask her to fight? If you don't go out of Beijing tomorrow, it's not bad to make two moves, this Xue Xingyi is really interesting.
"Also, if you want to drink, you have to call me."
Xue Xingyi smiled faintly, she couldn't avoid drinking when she went in and out of the barracks, and she didn't want others to look at her drunken charm.
"Okay, I'll invite you to drink when I get back."
Wang Wan'er nodded in agreement, and bowed goodbye to the private room. Xue Xingyi smiled and said nothing, secretly rejoicing in his heart: Fourth Miss won't wait too long, they will meet again in Liangzhou soon. If he hadn't taken the initiative to ask Ying to go with her, how could Wang Xiang easily let his baby daughter enter the barracks......
Wen Ye got up early in the morning to see off Wang Xuan'er, and Bixiao strode into the Hou Mansion, and ran directly into the West Courtyard without waiting for the next person to pass the news.
"Xiaochun, Miss?"
Bi Xiao shouted anxiously, looking around for Wen Ye's trace. Xiaochun was sitting in the yard embroidering a purse, but when she saw Bi Xiao running into the yard in a panic, she dropped the needle and thread in her hand and greeted her.
"Miss woke up too early to go to bed today, what happened?"
"Something happened to the Wen family."
As soon as Bi Xiao's words fell, Wen Ye pushed the door out, wearing a coat on his body, and only his underwear looked a little thin.
"What's wrong?"
Bixiao raised his hand to wrap his arm around Wen Ye's willow waist, pulled her a little harder, and brought her into the house.
"I'm not that fragile......
Wen Ye muttered in a low voice, she has been a professor in the palace since she was a child, although she is not very good, but she is by no means a young lady of the family in the deep boudoir compound, her body and bones are naturally not so fragile, but she is surrounded by people who practice martial arts, which makes her look extremely delicate.
"Miss, don't worry, I've sent a secret message to the saint. This matter has to be talked about a few days ago, the Wen family medical hall has often made trouble recently, and at first the second prince didn't care about driving them out directly. I didn't think that they had premeditated, and today the leader went to the government to complain, saying that his ancestral secret recipe was tampered with by the eldest prince and recorded in the medical book of the Hanlin Medical Hospital, which ruined the reputation of his family's century-old medical hall.
Wen Ye paced around the room in silence, hinting that she must be calm and weighing the pros and cons in her heart. If she had to enter the palace to meet the saint Wen Yan before, now that she is the little lady of the Hou Mansion, she must be more prudent in doing things.
"Isn't that?"
Xiaochun on the side couldn't stand it, this matter was simply nonsense, how could the medical prescription be sure that it was his family's ancestral heirloom, and since this prescription had been modified, how could it still be the ancestral prescription!
"Miss, what should I do now?"
Bixiao was anxious, she didn't have time to rush to see Wen Jian when she got the letter in the morning, and she didn't know what happened to him?
"You go to the infirmary to stop the troublemakers, you take this belt and show it to them if there are officers and soldiers who are embarrassed. If it really doesn't work, I'll close the door for a few days, and I'll still have to go to the palace, but I won't do it until the evening."
Wen Ye tried his best to be more thorough, Bi Xiao gave up his hand and led the order out of the Hou Mansion, riding a fast horse all the way west to the Wen Family Medical Hall, which had been surrounded by a group of ruffians and hooligans at this time.
"Liangzhou is protecting the family
Shop, you change it too!"
Bixiao jumped down from the galloping horse, and the horse galloped past and scattered the onlookers, and the ruffian quietly retreated home.
"Xiao'er, thanks to you, it's really useless to be a scholar."
Wen Jian escorted Wen Chen out of it, he just got the news this morning, so he went to the White Horse Academy to pick Wen Chen out, he wanted to come back and closed the medical hall but was still a step too late.
"Martial arts can govern the country, and civil power can govern the country, both of which are indispensable."
Bi Xiao smiled and quipped, it was rare to make Wen Jian panic like this, the more she had to pretend that nothing had happened, not to mention that Wen Chen was still there, and he must not feel a trace of unease.
"The woman is right, I was anxious just now."
The two of them dispelled the tense atmosphere of Fang Cai with a word, and the shopkeeper of the medical hall began to work again, and Wen Chen's face also showed a smile.
"My sister will take you to a place with a lot of friends, would you like to?"
Bi Xiao leaned down and touched Wen Chen's head, Wen Chen had known Bi Xiao in Qiongzhou, and speaking of which, he had spent more time with Bi Xiao than Wen Jian in the past two years.
"Okay, but I'm going to bring the books, and Master Yan said that I can't delay my studies."
Wen Chen replied with a smile, he vaguely knew that there must be changes in his family, and if he was in a safe place, they could concentrate on dealing with more tricky things.
"Okay, I'll carry it for you."
Bi Xiao stretched out his hand to take the book basket on the medicine boy's shoulder, it really had some weight, everyone had packed up and left the hospital hall at this time, and Wen Jian walked at the end to lock the door.
At this time, the carriage of the Chengyang Marquis Mansion had been waiting for a long time, Bi Xiao helped Wen Chen into the carriage, raised his hand and handed the token that Wen Ye gave her to Wen Jian, who came up later. Wen Jian realized that these were all arrangements made by Wen Ye, and his heart instantly breathed a sigh of relief.
The place Bixiao said is the Baby Hall in the south of the city, which is the secret location of the Xiang family in the capital, except for her and the clear sky, only Wen Ye knows, and the foster ones are also orphans in the capital, which is very safe and will not arouse suspicion, only the distance from the west of the city to the south of the city is a little remote.
The carriage drove steadily, Wen Chen got up too early today and was frightened, and fell asleep groggily on Wen Jian's shoulder.
"There is a fasting house in the White Horse Academy, and the banquet master will take care of him, so why do you need to take him with you?"
Bi Xiao combed Wen Chen's broken hair in front of his forehead, and he felt distressed when he remembered his frightened eyes just now.
"The academy is like a small court, I'm afraid he will hear something bad."
Bi Xiao nodded, Wen Jian was really careful, more thoughtful than her and Wen Ye.
"There must be officers and soldiers guarding the Wen Mansion, don't go back for the time being, I have a house in the west of the city, if you can trust me...... Forget it, I have so many enemies, it's too dangerous for you to follow me."
Wen Jian smiled and shook her head, rubbing her index finger against the folding fan in her hand, not intending to open him, just playing with it casually.
"This Quartet City is the same everywhere, your martial arts are so good, it's safer for me to follow you."
He was saying the saddest words in the most casual tone, and Bi Xiao could naturally hear the helplessness between his words, but there was nothing he could do.
The bustling capital is in the shadows, and there is no shortage of danger, who can guarantee which place is absolutely safe? In particular, the palace fire three years ago is still fresh in the memory of the people of the capital, and everyone has never really forgotten it.
"Quadrang City? That's a pretty figurative way to describe it."
Bixiao tried to make Wen Jian happy again, he always greeted him with a smile on weekdays, but today his listlessness is really worrying.
"Well, the people of the capital say so, and I think it's very appropriate to trap people inside."
Wen Jian forced himself to squeeze out a smile, he knew that Bixiao was worried about him, but he unconsciously remembered the scene when Wen Yan was falsely imprisoned that year, his emotions would be out of control, and even the old wounds on his legs would ache faintly.
"Just take it easy, you have me and Miss by your side now, you are not alone."
Bi Xiao raised his arm as he spoke, and the two tacitly stretched out their hands and clenched them, and Wen Jian put them
Kissing lightly on the side of her mouth, Bi Xiao did not refuse but turned away her face shyly.
The carriage stopped in the backyard of the Infant Hall, Bi Xiao let go of Wen Jian's hand and hugged Wen Chen in her arms.
"Chen'er is asleep, I'll carry him in."
Wen Jian was hesitating, Bi Xiao gave him a look, he quickly lifted the curtain, and followed Bi Xiao into the back door.
"He's still quite heavy."
Wen Jian glanced at Wen Chen, who was still asleep, and felt distressed, the sleeping person's body was extremely heavy, but don't exhaust her, it will be worth the loss.
Bixiao didn't bother to pay attention to him, and walked all the way through the courtyard into the west wing, which was furnished like a study.
"You can only go down in the study, Wen Ye will take him to the Hou Mansion tomorrow, you don't have to be anxious."
Wen Jian nodded absentmindedly, Bixiao put Wen Chen on the bed and covered the quilt, and the two closed the door and sat in the courtyard to prepare to rest.
The guards brought hot tea to them, Bi Xiao took a sip of tea, and the corners of her mouth curved, and said with a smile: "Don't doubt my strength when you choose, I can even hold you, do you want to try it?"
Wen Jian knew that she was happy with herself, and said witty things very cooperatively.
"Yes, but I'm responsible for hugging me."
Bi Xiao pursed his lips and smiled, he looked worried like this, it seems that this mentality has been adjusted.
Wen Jian knew what Bi Xiao was thinking, he was not a depressed person, and her relief along the way had completely adjusted her mood, ready for the next tough battle, he was a teenager who could turn the danger into a disaster, and this time with the help of everyone, it would definitely be solved.
"Don't put too much pressure on yourself."
Bi Xiao was still a little worried, Wen Jian smiled, and replied with a hint of self-deprecation and helplessness: "Get used to it, who told me to have a big brother who has many disasters."
"The ...... of Choice"
Bi Xiao looked at Wen Jian nervously, he really remembered the unbearable past, Wen Jian raised her hand and gently stroked her cheek and comforted her softly.
"Don't worry, I'm not the gentle Jane I was five years ago, just because I have you by my side!"
