Chapter Twenty-Eight: What a Style
Ye Sili looked at the person on the bed, his body was pitifully thin, his voice was extremely weak, and his originally handsome face was frighteningly white at this time, but his eyes looked at Ye Sili firmly, as if he wanted to cut out a piece of loyalty to show sincerity.
"Childe, I found it." Bai Yi quietly walked to Gu Liwu's side and said in a low voice.
"Qingluo was originally the eldest son of Xufu, and then Xu's house was raided, when Qingluo was studying abroad, coupled with the protection of Xu's friends, he escaped death, but was demoted to a slave, and it happened that Zhou Jiu'er, the lady of the Zhou family, took a fancy to him, so he took him back to Zhou's house."
"It was the son of the Xu family." Gu Liwu put down the wine glass in his hand and said meaningfully.
The winter moon is coming to an end, the weather is getting colder and colder, and Ye Sili huddles in Yusheng Courtyard all day long, reluctant to go out.
"County Lord, today is the winter solstice, the night market is very lively, I'll dress you up beautifully, let's go out and have fun, okay?" Twilight stood beside the bed, pleading softly.
"No, no, no, it's getting colder and colder lately, and I'm too lazy to move." Ye Sili turned over and hugged his futon tightly.
Twilight gave Xia Xia a look and asked her to help persuade her, but she just shrugged her shoulders and said she couldn't do anything.
Twilight stomped her feet in hatred of iron, and racked her brains to persuade her:
"County Lord, you've been nesting in the yard since you came back from the hunt, and it's time to go out and breathe."
Twilight probe looked outside.
"Look at the weather outside the window, there must be sun today, let's go out and bask in the sun, shall we?"
Ye Sili was motionless, and Duchun and Lianxia were very distressed.
Their county lord is good at everything, just like an animal that wants to hibernate when the weather is cold, and no one can call it out...... No, it's not like no one can't call it out.
Twilight smiled and approached the bed, whispering:
"County Lord, I met Bai Yi just now, he said that this morning the son went out to the Nine Winds and the fifth princess for their appointment, today is the Winter Solstice Festival, as the saying goes, 'The winter solstice is as big as the year', the county lord, you really don't want to celebrate the New Year with the son?"
"What? Ah Yu went out? ”
Sure enough, Twilight couldn't hold back a smile.
Ye Sili immediately sat up, and Duchun put on a coat for her.
"Where did Ah Yu go?"
"Drunken Cloud Tower."
"Okay, they don't call me for the holidays."
"County Lord, yesterday the fifth princess sent Mo'er to the mansion to invite, but you refused."
“……”
Under Ye Sili's urging, Twilight Chun Xia quickly helped her freshen up and dress up, and the three of them were hurrying out, but they met Bai Yi at the courtyard gate.
"County Lord, why did you come out?" Bai Yi felt that he hadn't seen Ye Sili for a few days.
"Where's the worry?"
Shiraichi looked at Twilight and asked with a questioning look in her eyes, but Twilight made a smug grimace.
"Childe is in ...... Drunken Cloud Tower. ”
Hearing this, Ye Sili left a sentence of "call Qingluo" and left in a hurry.
"Childe, he ......" Bai Yi was about to explain, but saw that Ye Sili had already left.
He grabbed Twilight and asked, "Liar! Didn't you promise me secrecy? ”
Twilight Chun slapped his hand away and slapped it backwards, "Who told Childe to leave the county lord and go out to play by himself?" ”
Ye Sili got into the carriage, "Qingluo, go to Wujia Village." ”
Dui Chun and Juanxia also got into the carriage, and Dui Chun was puzzled: "County Lord, aren't they in the Drunken Cloud Tower, Son?" We don't go to them? ”
Ye Sili lifted the curtain of the car and looked at the lively street market, and said: "If my guess is correct, Ah Worry and they must be going to Wujia Village today, speaking of which, we haven't been there for a long time." ”
Twilight Chun patted her head and suddenly realized, "I actually forgot about this." ”
Wujia Village is located in the west of the city, the location is remote, the old and young in the village have a hard time, Ye Sili and a few people often visit them when they are free.
As the carriage headed west of the city, the streets gradually thinned out, and the place where the eye came into view changed from a bustling flower market to a place where livestock were sold.
Ye Sili lowered the curtain, but he heard a commotion, and the carriage driven by Qingluo was bumpy.
"What?" Ye Sili asked.
Qingluo hesitated for a moment and said, "It's Miss Zhou." ”
Zhou Jiu'er? Ye Sili was a little puzzled, and told Qingluo to stop the carriage, she opened the curtain and looked at it, it was really Zhou Jiu'er.
Most of the markets in the west of the city are sold for livestock, but there are also many poor families who sell their wives and children, or servants who have made mistakes elsewhere and are enslaved here and sold at low prices.
Ye Sili didn't know much about this, but just listened to a few words of chatter in the late spring.
"Why did Miss Zhou come here to buy slaves?" Chuan Xia asked.
Twilight Chun shook his head, he was very puzzled, the Zhou family was a famous family in Kyoto, and the servants and miscellaneous servants in the house were naturally carefully screened and trained, why did Miss Zhou need to come to the market to choose in person?
"That's it, this is a family matter of the Zhou Mansion, we don't need to get involved." Ye Sili said, Zhou Jiu'er is very cautious, it is estimated that the last incident has not been dissipated, and she is too lazy to meddle today.
Ye Sili was about to put down the curtain, but he noticed that Qing Luo's expression was wrong, his eyes were dark, and his expression was a little sad and forbearing.
"Qingluo, what's wrong?" Ye Sili asked softly.
Since returning from the hunt, Qingluo has been recuperating in the house, Qingluo's injuries are very serious, and the whole body is actually covered with new injuries and old injuries, even if he has been carefully recuperated for more than ten days, his body bones are still not too tough, but he barely healed most of the flesh injuries.
Knowing his injury, Ye Sili was very distressed, obviously not much bigger than Ah Yu and Jiu Feng, but she suffered so many sins, which made her think back to Ah Yu when she was a child, and when she thought about it like this, she was even more distressed.
"Smack!"
Without waiting for Qingluo to answer, there was a crisp whipping sound from the side, followed by a crying cry for mercy, accompanied by a crying cry for mercy, the whip seemed to be even more vigorous, and fell on the person's body one after another, as if he had accidentally knocked over the iron weapon next to him, and fell to the ground with a "crackle".
Ye Sili hurriedly leaned out to investigate, but saw that Zhou Jiu'er's side was instantly surrounded by people, and those people were driven and intimidated by Zhou Jiu'er's family, so they had to watch from a distance, and they had to swallow the anger in their hearts.
"That's how she beats you on weekdays?" Ye Sili finally understood Fang Cai Qingluo's expression.
Qingluo tried to stop Ye Sili, "The county lord thinks twice, Miss Zhou will report it, you are still ......"
Before Qingluo finished speaking, Ye Sili had already jumped out of the carriage.
Zhou Jiu'er's horsewhip was longer than the ordinary horsewhip, and it was being raised high at this time, and it was pulled down heavily, and when the horsewhip was about to fall, it was snatched away.
"Bold, dare to do something to Miss Ben!" Zhou Jiu'er was angry when he saw his horsewhip fall into the hands of others, and he was even more surprised when he saw that person was twilight spring.
"Miss Zhou is so magnificent."
