Chapter 53: It's Worth It
After Pei Yue and Zhao Wanning separated, he led the people of Dali Temple and several of Zhong Shuna's men who had fainted back to Dali Temple.
When I met Zhao Wanning, there were only occasional snowflakes, and on the way back to the city, the snow was getting heavier and heavier, and the goose-featherlike snow fell from the sky one after another.
Pei Yue's heart was warm.
Thinking that Zhao Wanning was also reborn and cared about him, he felt that his fate with Zhao Wanning had not been severed. He is naturally willing to renew his relationship with Zhao Wanning, and Zhao Wanning's care and concern for him these few times also made him see the hope of renewing his relationship with Zhao Wanning.
After sending people to the prison of Dali Temple, the time had reached the second half of the night.
Pei Yue originally wanted to go back to his house to rest, but seeing this situation, he also gave up this idea. Luckily, there is a room where you can rest in Dali Temple.
"Master, I'll go find someone to boil some hot water, you can wash and go to sleep." Pei Zhen helped Pei Yue take off his robe.
Pei Yue looked at the sky, and then said, "No need." It's late at night, and it is estimated that the people in this Dali Temple are asleep, so don't wake them up. ”
"But you've been blown by the cold wind for so long today, and you're still injured. At the very least, the wound should be cleaned and re-bandaged. Pei Zhen's tone was anxious, he was very worried about Pei Yue. Although the county lord of Qinghe had already helped him bandage his wounds today, it was in the wilderness after all. The lights in the carriage are dim, and the county lord of Qinghe is the county lord, where has he done such a thing on weekdays.
Pei Zhen was worried that Pei Yue's wound had not been cleaned and bandaged properly, and this kind of knife wound was difficult to heal in winter, and Pei Yue injured his right hand. If something goes wrong with his right hand, what should he do?
Pei Yue understood his worries, so he smiled and comforted: "It's okay. Seem...... The county lord of Qinghe has already helped me bandage it today. The golden medicine was still given to him by you, even if you don't believe in the county lord of Qinghe, don't you still believe in your golden medicine? ”
"I—Of course I believe in that golden medicine. That's General Pei......"
The golden medicine was developed by Pei Yue's father, General Pei Changzhou. At that time, General Pei was stationed at the border pass, and from time to time they had to fight with the Beidi people. Officers and men in the army are prone to injury, and the north is an extremely cold place, and the wounds are extremely difficult to heal. General Pei invited a master to develop this golden medicine.
Pei Zhen was afraid of arousing Pei Yue's sadness, so he stopped talking in time. But he didn't want to see Pei Yue smiling at the bandaged arm as soon as he looked up.
Pei Zhen felt strange, so he bumped Pei Yi on the side with his elbow: "Master, what's wrong?" Why do you always smile at his wound? ”
Pei Yi and Pei Yue fought with Uncle Zhong's martial arts subordinates today, and their spirits were highly concentrated, and they were sleepy and tired at this time, and they almost fell asleep just standing there.
"I said you really don't have eyes." Pei Yi, who was woken up, didn't have a good airway.
Pei Zhen looked puzzled, and asked shamelessly, "What's wrong with me?" Aren't we talking about the master? How did it get on me? ”
Pei Yi glanced at him and said seriously: "I'll just say that you're too wooden, and you always think I'm too slippery." ”
Pei Zhen didn't understand it anymore, why did he get involved? It's eyeless and wooden. made Pei Zhen in a fog.
Pei Yi saw that Pei Zhen looked like the second monk was confused, so he felt relieved. But he didn't want to explain it to Pei Zhen so clearly, after all, their master hadn't said anything yet, and as a qualified subordinate, he naturally had to keep it a secret from his master.
Their little movement was discovered by Pei Yue. Pei Yue raised his head and said, "It's not early, you go back to sleep first." It's hard tonight, you have a good rest tomorrow, don't use Dali Temple. ”
As soon as Pei Yi heard that he could rest, he immediately smiled. He smiled and said, "Thank you, master, or the master will feel distressed." With that, he yawned and turned around to go back to Pei's mansion.
Pei Zhen hesitated a little and said, "Master, your wound ......"
Pei Yue also knew that Pei Zhen was doing it for his good, so he comforted: "I'm fine." Tomorrow morning, I will ask the imperial doctor to come and treat me. ”
"So, can you rest assured?"
Pei Zhen let go of his worries at this time, and then Pei Yi, who was trapped on the side and yawned, pulled his arm and left.
In the dead of night, Pei Yue lay on the bed, silently recalling the bits and pieces of getting along with Zhao Wanning after being reborn.
He should have discovered that Zhao Wanning was reborn. From the first time they met in Qingyaji, at that time, Zhao Wanning avoided him like a snake and scorpion for no reason and rejected his kindness. From then on, he should have sensed that something was wrong.
Pei Yue only felt lucky. He has always felt miserable about the miss of himself and Zhao Wanning in the previous life, and he didn't expect that this life could be repeated. He will definitely seize this opportunity to be with Zhao Wanning again.
He thought back to the mansion he had bought in his previous life. Now he doesn't have much money in his hand, and he can't buy it.
It seems that he will have to find a way to earn more money and buy the mansion as soon as possible.
Zhao Wanning slept lightly in Jishan Hall for an hour.
As soon as the fish belly turned white in the east, Zhao Wanning returned to the city with the picture screen. Xiao Hongyi still wanted to stay and settle those children with Jiao Niang, and did not go back with her.
The night before, in order to keep a low profile and not reveal his identity, Zhao Wanning did not take the carriage of the eldest princess's mansion, but the carriage found by Jishantang.
Now they were riding in the same carriage they had come. It was Jishantang's own carriage, and it was not as gorgeous and comfortable as the carriage in Zhao Wanning's Eldest Princess Mansion.
In the middle of last night, there was no one around, and the coachman drove the carriage away from the official road, and Zhao Wanning didn't feel bumpy. Today, in order to hide people's eyes, the coachman had to take the path. Even though Zhao Wanning sat on two cushions, she still felt that she was going to be thrown upside down.
The painting screen protected her tightly, and said distressedly: "County Lord, do you think it's worth it?" ”
Zhao Wanning held the carriage with one hand and the picture screen with the other, and his movements were a little funny. She smiled and said, "What is it worth it?" It's just a gesture. ”
Hearing this, the painting screen suddenly let go of his hand holding Zhao Wanning. The carriage seemed to have come up a slope, and the carriage went very fast downhill. Without the picture screen, Zhao Wanning's body rushed forward.
Zhao Wanning was so frightened that she almost screamed. Fortunately, the picture screen quickly grabbed her.
The path was too bumpy, so the two sat cross-legged on the floor of the carriage.
Zhao Wanning looked at the painting screen very puzzled, with a puzzled face.
Without waiting for her to ask, the painting screen spoke first: "County Lord, do you think it's a gesture?" ”
Zhao Wanning was a little puzzled: "...... do you mean?" ”
Huaping said seriously: "If I hadn't stopped the county lord just now, you might have fallen out and fallen off the carriage." It's downhill, and the wagon is running fast. If you do fall out, you will be injured. ”
"But," Zhao Wanning said seriously, "Didn't you hold me?" ”
The painting screen feels so tired of communicating with her county lord, why does the county lord always miss the point?
The picture screen had no choice but to say bluntly: "County Lord, you didn't understand what I meant. ”
"I mean, in order to save these children, you put yourself in a dangerous place, and you have been mediating between Dali Temple and the eldest princess. You were in the cold wind for so long last night to wait for these children. Today, I am so aggrieved to sit in such a carriage and walk such a bumpy path. You have endured so much to save these children, and no one knows. ”
"Outsiders only say that the county lord of Qinghe is arrogant and domineering, bullying orphan girls, but they don't know that you are chivalrous and courageous, and you put yourself in danger in order to save a group of strange children. Don't you feel aggrieved? ”
"You mean that?" Zhao Wanning suddenly realized. She raised her hand and opened a gap in the window, and a cold wind squeezed into the carriage through the gap, freezing everyone to wake up.
Looking out of the car window, the surroundings were covered in snow. The fields on the side of the road shone a little green under the snow. It seems that it did fall heavily last night.
Zhao Wanning suddenly remembered that Pei Yue had said before that it was a big snow trillion year. With such a heavy snowfall, the people will definitely have a good harvest in the coming year.
Zhao Wanning raised her hand to close the window again, and she smiled: "I understand what you mean, in fact, I didn't think about it that much." It's not so much that I'm saving the kids, it's that I'm saving myself. ”
This time, it was the turn of the picture screen to be confused.
Zhao Wanning smiled. "You see, as a noble lord, I am trapped in the mansion every day. I don't like piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, female red housekeepers, and I don't want to be detained in that small world every day, fighting wits and courage with Zhao Chenan every day. It's so boring that it feels like a waste of your life. But I also know that most of the women in this world have come over like this. ”
"I opened a bookstore and a pastry shop to make money. In order that one day we will have the opportunity to leave the Eldest Princess's Mansion and leave the capital. I want to travel all over the world, I want to see the Great Wall and the snow in the north, and I want to see the desert. There are also lychees from South Vietnam, which I also like. ”
"If it weren't for saving those children, I might still be in the house, trapped in the eldest princess's mansion. Every day is a mess, and I feel like I'm a waste county lord, and I can't do anything. ”
"But you see, I can obviously help the officials of Dali Temple find a way to rescue the children and solve problems for Dali Temple. I can also help Princess Celestia and help her gain the hearts and minds of the people. ”
"I can do a lot of things. I also want to prove myself. ”
"I don't really care what the people say. Even if I immediately walked among those people and walked in front of them now, they might not know that I was standing in front of them, and I was the county lord of Qinghe who was arrogant and domineering and bullying orphan girls. They only know the county lord of Qinghe, but they don't know that my name is Wanning, and I don't even know who they are or whose names they are, and I don't have any intersection with them on weekdays, we are all strangers to each other. If that's the case, then why care what strangers think of me, why should I use their opinions to influence my behavior? ”
"I saw that the children were suffering, and I could save them, so I saved them. If I hadn't seen those children, and didn't know that there was such a group of children suffering, maybe I wouldn't have been able to save them. ”
The painting screen looked at Zhao Wanning in a daze for a long time.
Zhao Wanning didn't care, she still looked ahead casually.
What Zhao Wanning didn't say was that there was another reason to save these children. Heaven gave her a chance to be reborn so that she could live again.
She also wants to do more good deeds, which should be regarded as a thank you to God.
