Volume 1: Cangyan Festival Chapter 6 Marriage Proposal
Warn?
Seeing Hua Feidu raising his eyebrows and an expression of disbelief on his face, Xie Wuyi rubbed his temples helplessly, pointed to the maple leaf and said, "Hua Niang, that's the sycamore leaf." ”
Although the sycamore leaf and the maple leaf are similar, Xie Wuyi doesn't believe that Xiao Wei can't tell the difference. He said this just to remind her, or to warn her - pretending to be Xie Jiuniang or a witch can be temporarily replenished, after all, it is not a long-term solution, and someone will always find out her true identity through some clues.
Like the mastermind behind the Assassin.
At that time, the crime of bullying the king alone will be enough to make her die ten thousand times, not to mention the one pretending to be a witch.
"Is there any way to be 'evergreen and not rot'?" Xie Wuyi smiled bitterly, "It's just to give up the investigation." ”
Hua Feidu stared at her unconsciously wrung fingers for a while, "Are you scared?" ”
"Am I like?"
Xie Wuyi was still smiling as usual, but his right hand involuntarily slid up his left arm. Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she grabbed the clothesline next to the pillow and threw it into Hua Feidu's hand. Hua Feidu also made a move at the same time, she naturally took the rope and jumped out of the window in three steps and two steps.
Someone was approaching the grass house, most likely an accomplice of the assassin who had been killed, to snatch Fan Keyu's confession or kill someone.
The humid evening breeze drifted by, and Xie Wuyi leaned back on the pillow and closed his eyes to recuperate.
When she goes out alone, she is a brave person who does not rely on anyone's strength, but in front of Hua Feidu, Xie Wuyi can always be an innocent little girl.
Hua Feidu was a friend of Xie Wuyi's mother before her death, and she was a famous generation of chivalrous women when she was young. And what made her famous was neither weapons nor physical skills, but eyes.
It is rumored that no one can carry a cup of tea under the gaze of Hua Feidu. For example, a thief god who could escape from stealing all over the palace once angered Hua Feidu, but she glanced at her and immediately knelt on the ground and beheaded his hand; There was also a demon who killed more people than he had eaten, and he stared at her and went crazy in just five breaths, and committed suicide by jumping into the sea.
Xie Wuyi rolled on the bed with laughter when he first heard these stories when he was four years old, but before Hua Feidu retired to the rivers and lakes, he recognized the moves when he didn't make a move, and it was true that the underworld retreated everywhere he passed.
With flowers flying over, Xie Wuyi will be very relieved. She was just thinking that since she found Fan Keyu, this kind of day of being watched by people every once in a while couldn't stop.
In the past two years, Xie Wuyi has heard countless stories about the military rations escort case. Although the focus of each version is different, the same thing is that Qiao Chun changed his route without permission, resulting in the martyrdom of the crown prince.
He is the sinner of Da Yu.
In the twenty-eighth year of Tianwu, the Battle of Qiongchuan ended with the founding of the Great Liang in the north, and the three kingdoms of Yu, Yan and Liang ended in succession.
If you hear too many similar words, people will always be shaken. And whenever Xie Wuyi hesitated, she would have the same dream repeatedly. She dreamed that Qiao Chun was kneeling on the map in an official uniform, and kept shouting about wrongdoing. Immediately afterwards, Qiao Chun turned her bloody face and told her that the more public she spoke, the more problematic it was.
There have never been ghosts and gods in this world, and Xie Wuyi doesn't know if this is a hint she gave herself. Now, Fan Keyu's confession in exchange for her life is like a stone, since there are no waves on the water, then she throws it out to see which big fish jumped up.
Xie Wuyi turned to Ah Nian, who was still picking up the grass at the door. Fan Keyu has a son and a daughter under his knees, and after the military rations escort case, except for Ah Nian, who escaped by luck, the Fan family was arrested.
Ah Nian told Xie Wuyi: "I am not familiar with Mrs. Fan, my sister Fan Lanshu is two years younger than you, and she has a red mole at the end of her left eyebrow. ”
Since their family was implicated by Qiao Chun, and Fan Keyu died because of Xie Wuyi, when she returned to Zeyang, she should also try her best to search for their whereabouts.
The stratus clouds disappeared, and the cold moonlight poured down along the window lattice, illuminating the ground silvery white.
After a short time, the flower flew back in vain.
"Those people are very perceptive, and when they are discovered, they don't come closer." Hua Feidu rolled up the clothesline and put it on the table, frowned and said, "Girl, whose person do you say it will be?" ”
The snooping person easily stopped, and Hua Feidu asked this, there are only two possibilities.
Either it was an assassin accomplice who retreated in the face of difficulties, or Xiao Wei kindly reminded Xie Wuyi that he was in danger.
"Who knows...... Xie Wuyi clasped his hands, "no matter what, someone is controlling everything after all." Flower girl, this is our chance. ”
Having said that, Xie Wuyi once again swept over the white porcelain vase and sycamore leaves that Xiao Wei had given her, and her temples ached.
In fact, she is not a person who is easily excited, especially after Qiao Chun's death, she is more and more reluctant to show her heart. But now, Xie Wuyi realized that when facing Xiao Wei, she would actually have all kinds of emotions, irritability, jealousy, disgust, and fear that she would never admit.
- Maybe it's not fear, but it can't be dismantled at all after all kinds of emotions are blended...... Disappointed?
Although Xie Wuyi is full of rivers and lakes, he still received a strict education when he was a child. At the banquet in Zeyang, she had seen the officials and the emperor's relatives, even if she was asked to face the saint as a commoner, there would not be much problem in etiquette. Therefore, in Xie Wuyi's cognition, a prince with a noble status should not be like this.
Xiao Wei, who is a young man, should not be like this, he is accompanied by firewood, rice, oil and salt all day long, sleeps with chickens, ducks, pigs and dogs, and walks more coquettishly than the wicker on the side of the road.
Xie Wuyi unconsciously lowered his eyes, touched the thin calluses on his fingertips, and the wounds that repeatedly cracked and healed between his fingers, and suddenly felt relieved.
Once, she wasn't supposed to be like this.
According to common sense, she will learn piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, embroidery, cooking, and be a gentle and virtuous official daughter. Then, when she was in the year of Jilu, Qiao Chun set a good family affair for her. Then, marry a wife, husband and children, and live an ordinary life.
But she didn't like it.
So, from the day he decided to go out, Xie Wuyi had nothing to do with the word "everyone's girlfriends".
She fell countless times and got up countless times, until she became Xie Wuyi, who has been to all the countries of the world and seen all the mountains and rivers today.
Heaven is fair, there is always a gain for taking a road, and there is always a price to pay.
What's more, she has such a gentle father who has always encouraged her and supported her.
Civilians are still like this, Xiao Wei is the prince, naturally there will be people who understand him, why bother with her?
As soon as she thought of this, Xie Wuyi quickly left Xiao Wei behind, and now her first task was to take care of her body and continue the investigation as soon as possible along the clues left by Fan Keyu.
"Don't think about it, eat something and go to sleep." Hua Feidu rubbed Xie Wuyi's hair lovingly, "I'll accompany you at night." ”
The next day, the news spread that Fan Keyu died suddenly in the Guanyin Temple due to an emergency. Because of his good governance and his love by the people, Luzhou Thorn Shi personally sent someone to arrange a funeral for him. Xie Wuyi also beat his spirits and took Ah Nian to see him off for the last time.
On the small slope outside the village, there were three people standing in the distance.
Xiao Wei was wearing a dark red suit, his hair was tied up high, and he held the reins in his hands and remained motionless. The wind ruffled his headband like through a swaying pine forest.
Feng Da behind him couldn't be idle, he craned his neck and looked at it for a long time, then went to poke his waist socket, covered his mouth and asked, "What do you say Your Highness is looking at?" ”
Cheng Yi glared at Feng Da, as if he was saying, "Knowingly asking".
His Highness is a little profligate, but he is not a bale of waste. He didn't care about the holy decree, he would rather stand here and blow the wind, but also wait for Xie Wuyi to safely pass the most dangerous two days after being poisoned, what else could he see?
"I don't know what happened to the lady concubine Niangniang in the palace, and the messenger didn't say it clearly......" Feng Da lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "I'm sorry for me to tell you, Niangniang will definitely want to Zhang Luo's marriage after she recovers from her illness this time, how about it?" A month's worth of money, gambling or not? ”
"When will it be your turn to call the shots about the affairs of Niangniang and His Highness?" Cheng Yi continued to roll his eyes.
Seeing that he couldn't make any jokes, it was too boring, so he stuck out his tongue and hung half of his body on his horse.
The house and land have been settled, and the village is a temporary residence, so there is nothing to worry about. Here can only vaguely identify a few small grass houses at the entrance of the village and Fan Keyu's courtyard, Xie Jiuniang's home is inside, Xiao Wei must not be able to see it. Somehow, he just wanted to stay a little longer.
I don't know if I'm worried about Xie Wuyi, or if I simply miss the unrestrained time in the past two years.
"Big brother," Xiao Wei solemnly promised in his heart, "I'll take care of Qiao Chun's affairs." ”
Not only because Xie Wuyi saved his life, but also because of the trap Qiao Chun, the culprit who caused the prince to die in the war without food is still at large.
What's more, the other party even dared to kill him.
Xiao Wei's mind resurfaced Xie Wuyi's thin body, she who visited Fan Keyu's residence at night, she who vented her evil anger for Xie Jiuniang, she who desperately saved him and Feng Da, and she who was like a gossamer because of poisoning......
The scene lingered.
has only known each other in this capacity for three days, but Xiao Wei feels that it has been a long, long time.
And it was in this infinitely stretched time, the water covered with stones, that only this moment made him move the idea of exploration for the first time.
On this road of nine deaths, will she be the one to break the deadlock?
- The woman who even Wu Jin dares to take advantage of is probably not afraid of the power of heaven at all.
Suddenly, Xiao Wei tightened his hands, and his ten knuckles clicked.
The two gray-white figures, one after the other, disappeared as soon as they appeared in the alley. Xiao Wei even saw that the slender woman walking in front had a plain white face, and a delicate and delicate white hosta was inserted in her bun.
Suddenly, everything was vaguely his illusion.
The summer sun is so dazzling.
There seemed to be a fire burning in his chest, Xiao Wei turned over and got on the horse, and shook the whip, stirring up clusters of yellow sand like a meteor.
As Xiao Wei said, the poison on Xie Wuyi's left hand flare-ups and pains a few times, and it was not uncomfortable to vomit and diarrhea, but fortunately, Xiao Wei's antidote saved the danger.
Intermittently, she had been recuperating for more than a month, and when her injuries finally healed, Xie Wuyi immediately decided to return to Zeyang. Hezhou sent the messenger and never returned, it was like looking for a needle in a haystack, but it was certain that there was a problem with the transportation map of the military department, so the only clear clue she had now was the military department.
She always had to set foot in that sad place, but much sooner than she expected.
Xie Wuyi's eyes fell on the white porcelain vase left by Xiao Wei, and the white porcelain vase now is not pure white. She soaked the sycamore leaves given by Xiao Wei in alkaline water to make a transparent leaf with only leaf veins, and attached it to it according to the shape of the porcelain bottle.
After all, I still found a way to make this leaf "evergreen and not rotten", although the leaves on the surface are no more, the meridian roots and bones still exist. Xie Wuyi thought for a moment and put the porcelain vase into the baggage.
As soon as he packed his things, Xie Wuyi heard his neighbor shouting across the yard:
"Miko-sama, your brother is here!"
Brother? After the death of his mother, Qiao Chun did not continue the string, Xie Wuyi was alone, where did he come from?
After being stunned for a while, she remembered that she was now holding the identity of Xie Jiuniang, and the so-called brother was naturally the son of Xie Fu. Xie Wuyi hurriedly put the baggage in his hand into the cabinet, got up and went out to greet him.
The person who came was Xie Xuan, the eldest son of Xie Zongyi and the seventh son of the Xie family, Xie Wuyi let people into the house and personally served tea greetings. Xie Xuan also saw this sister who had lived in Luzhou for a long time for the first time, and she seemed very restrained, and even her hand serving tea was a little unsteady.
He went straight to the point and explained his intentions.
"My little sister has been wronged all these years, and my father sent me to pick you up and take you back to the house to talk about your family." Xu felt embarrassed, Xie Xuan paused before continuing, "I know this is abrupt, but ...... His Royal Highness King Yan personally came to his father and said that he would marry you as a princess. ”
