Chapter 33, admitting mistakes
That day, Chu Luan and Yunu talked until late, from the initial excitement to annoyance to self-blame, and finally to silence.
Yunu finally heard Chu Luan's heart, and she gradually understood Chu Luan's true feelings for so many years. She is no longer the impulsive and presumptuous Chu Luan she was back then, she has unconsciously learned to bear and face it. It's just that she hasn't learned to let go yet. It's just that...... If Chu Luan is not mistaken, who is that person who looks similar to Wei Wei, and what is the purpose of him approaching Chu Luan?
She looked at a little candle on the table and muttered, "It seems that this capital is not as calm as it seems." ”
On the second day, Chu Luan still planned to go to Jinyan Street again to explore the truth. It stands to reason that something like that happened yesterday and that the plan should be suspended in the next few days. But Chu Luan is not a person who follows the rules in her bones, what she wants is to give the other party an unexpected one.
Today, in order to prevent being recognized, Chu Luan specially asked Yunu to make her a human skin mask. This human skin mask was somewhat similar to her original appearance, Chu Luan pasted the mask, changed into a simple dress, put on a hat, and went out.
Today's Jinyan Street is a little less crowded than yesterday, but it is not deserted either.
Chu Luan wandered around the streets, looked at some of the stalls' jewelry, medicinal herbs, etc., and pretended to be dissatisfied and left for the next one.
After almost figuring out the topography here, Chu Luan walked straight to the center of Jinyan Street, the largest black market in the capital - Yanrong Fang.
Just as she was about to step in, someone suddenly grabbed her wrist, and the temperature of the other person's palm was scorching, passing through the thin fabric into her skin. She quietly reached into her sleeve with her left hand, grasped a silver needle, and slowly raised her head, only to let go of her hand when she saw the person who was coming.
It turned out to be Wei Li.
Wei Li was also a little surprised, "Miss Chu, why are you here?" ”
Chu Luan was shocked and recognized it? No way, she deliberately made a disguise today. Could it be that he guessed by his physical shape?
Soon, she got the answer.
After she lifted the veil of the hat, the other party immediately let go as if she had been pricked by a needle, and did not dare to cross it again, "I'm sorry, I recognized the wrong person." Please forgive me for offending the girl. ”
Chu Luan deliberately hid his voice, and the words he said were completely like another person, "It's okay." After speaking, I was afraid that Wei Li would see any clues again, so he would leave.
Unexpectedly, the other party stopped her again, "Girl, this is not the place where women should come." ”
Chu Luan was stopped several times, and was a little unhappy, "Childe's words seem narrow, there is no provision here that women are not allowed to enter, and besides, I have important things to do here, no more serious than those men who are looking for flowers and asking willows?" ”
Wei Li didn't mean this, but seeing that the other party was angry, he patiently explained, "I don't mean that." It's just that the clouds and dragons are mixed here, and the girl is alone, with no retinue or maid beside her, so I am afraid that the girl will suffer. ”
"Childe is really a kind person, so it's better to trouble Childe to protect me, a weak woman." Chu Luan joked.
She thought that Wei Li would definitely refuse, and even leave angrily or not speak. Even Wei Li himself felt the same, but for some reason, when he saw the woman in front of him, he suddenly couldn't say a word of refusal, and agreed in a daze.
The two of them wore masks again and entered Yanrong Fang in a daze.
"I wonder what the girl wanted to do when she came in?"
Chu Luan didn't find out that this Wei Li talked a lot before, and he usually pretended to be deep. She came in to find forbidden incense, but can she tell anyone about this casually?
"Buy spices."
"I wonder what kind of spice the girl bought, and she wants to come to such a place?"
"Naturally, it's a spice that my daughter's family will use."
Perhaps seeing the other party's impatience, Wei Li finally didn't ask again.
The further you go inside, the more filthy the scene becomes.
She casually looked up to get a breath of fresh air, but saw Wei Li's angular jawline, and above that, a silver mask covered the general handsome face. Observing at such a close distance, Chu Luan could even see the other party's red ears. After getting this discovery, Chu Luan felt that his face was also inexplicably hot, but fortunately it was covered by a mask and a hood.
Perhaps because he was afraid of the embarrassing atmosphere, Wei Li began to have nothing to say again, "Girl, don't be long-winded, I still think that the girl is a weak woman, and she should talk to her parents at home, instead of coming to such a dangerous place." ”
Maybe it's because the other party doesn't know his true identity and has no scruples, or maybe he really wants to find someone to talk to, "But whoever has a choice, who doesn't want to be coquettish in the arms of their parents like an ordinary woman, it's a pity that they don't like me." One left ruthlessly when I was careless, and the other never cared whether I lived or died. Every time I talk to him, I either scold him or keep arguing, and there is no warmth at all. ”
"You...... It's a lot like someone I know. Wei Li didn't know why he always associated the woman in front of him with Chu Luan, although they were somewhat similar in appearance, they were obviously not the same. Miss Chu is smiling when she meets someone, and this girl is full of thorns when she looks at it like this.
"Then that's what you persuaded her to do?"
"Nope."
Chu Luan turned his head to look at him.
"I didn't speak to her." It's hard to hear whether this is a clarification or a complaint. "She probably doesn't want to talk to me either."
"Why?" Does she seem to be such an unapproachable person?
Wei Li felt that it was a very bad thing to talk about others behind his back, so he specially explained, "I don't have any complaints about her. It's that she doesn't seem to like the capital, and she doesn't like the people in the capital. Every time I see her, she gets angry. As if he felt that this was inappropriate, he added, "It's not that I'm angry, she seems to have a lot of troubles." ”
Chu Luan smiled bitterly, even if he said the troubles in his heart, who would understand it, and who would be willing to understand? "Looks like a weird-tempered man." Chu Luan laughed at himself.
Wei Li didn't answer, seemingly acquiescing to her statement.
It seems that he thinks so too. Chu Luan's heart was slightly bitter.
After that, all the way, Wei Li talked to Chu Luan again, but the other party was even more cold than before. He was a little confused, this girl was not only similar in appearance to Miss Chu, but also in temperament.
Chu Luan walked around Yanrongfang, but never found a place to make incense. In addition, Wei Li has been following her, and it is difficult for her to act without authorization, so as not to expose her identity.
As everyone knows, it is precisely because they wander aimlessly that someone has noticed them a long time ago. A middle-aged man with a thin body and a coarse cloth robe stepped forward to stop them, "Two distinguished guests, you have been here for so long, I don't know what you want to play." If you can't find what you're looking for, you can go to the auction house on the second floor. The other party's eyes were sharp, and he stared at him as if he had a sharp knife against his neck.
Before Chu Luan could react, Wei Li took the first step to pull her behind him, "Thank you, we'll go and take a look." ”
After speaking, he really pulled Chu Luan to the second floor.
Chu Luan watched him grasp his wrist through his sleeve, felt a little awkward, and wanted to withdraw his hand.
Who knew that the other party clenched tighter, "Don't move yet, follow me." ”
Chu Luan saw the other party's vigilance and caution, and he also became nervous, and sure enough, he didn't move again.
The second floor is different from the noisy chaos of the first floor, and it is noticeably too quiet here. The two walked down the corridor to the end, where another subordinate was guarding, and when they got closer, they found that there were two long scars on the right side of the other party's face. Different from the danger on the face of the man just now, his tone was quite flattering, "Yo, you two are here for the auction house, right?" Quick, inside please. As he spoke, he pressed hard against the wall, and the whole wall began to loosen, and slowly rotated, and when he looked inside, there was a long, narrow and dim passage, and there seemed to be light at the end of the passage.
Chu Luan and Wei Li glanced at each other and did not take action for a long time.
The man was a little anxious, and urged again, "Please." ”
Chu Luan suddenly crashed into Wei Li's arms, grabbed his arm with one hand, and covered his chest with the other, a little breathless, as if he had suddenly fallen ill, and he also gasped three times when he spoke: "Husband...... The concubine body, the concubine body is a little uncomfortable. After speaking, he looked in pain, and a layer of fine sweat broke out on his forehead.
Wei Li understood what she meant, held her steady, and cooperated with her, "Madam? Don't be afraid, madam, I'll take you to the doctor. As he spoke, he picked Chu Luan up horizontally, and after holding her in his arms steadily, he couldn't wait to take her away.
One of his subordinates walked sideways in front of them, and stopped them with one hand, "Childe, don't panic, we also have a doctor in Yanrongfang, seeing that your lady is so sick, why don't you let our doctor take a look first." ”
"My wife, this is an old disease, you don't know about her condition, so you don't need it."
Chu Luan cooperated and became a little more "seriously ill".
"Eh, how do you know if you don't try?" The other party resolutely refused to let them go.
"Presumptuous! My wife's body is expensive, can you afford to delay her illness?! ”
"If you can afford to wait or not, you will know?" The Confucian scholar downstairs surrounded them with a group of people.
An old man approached the two with a medicine box.
Wei Li hugged Chu Luan tighter. It wasn't until Chu Luan gently tugged at his sleeve that his face relaxed a little.
The old man pulled Chu Luan's arm and checked the pulse through a silk scarf.
Gradually, the old man's face changed from relaxed at first to slowly nervous, and finally his forehead began to be covered with sweat. He changed his hand and continued to check the pulse, and after about half an hour passed, he withdrew his hand and let out a long sigh.
"Doctor, dare to ask about Uchiko's condition......"
The old man shook his head, "Alas, forgive me for being a shallow learner, Mrs. Ling's illness is really strange, the pulse is weak and weak, I'm afraid of ......" He didn't say everything about what was behind, but how many people present guessed some, the old man may have seen that Chu Luan was young, it was really pitiful, and he still comforted: "But if you can recuperate well, maybe there will be a turnaround." ”
"Today, our husband and wife came to Yanrongfang because of this illness, and now we can be regarded as getting the answer. In that case, I would like to ask you to let me take Uchiko to see the doctor. ”
Everyone saw that the two of them were young, and they should have been husband and wife, and when they encountered this kind of thing, they were really pitiful, so they didn't care about it anymore and let them go.
After going out, Wei Li didn't let go immediately, but hugged Chu Luan into his carriage.
When Lin Yi saw his master holding a woman in his arms, his eyes were about to fall out, and his master finally figured it out? Why does the person in this arms look so familiar? It's not like Miss Ruan. He didn't talk much, after all, it was the master's private matter. Just quietly drove the carriage.
After getting into the carriage, Chu Luan left his arms, and the residual temperature and aroma slowly dissipated.
"Thank you Childe for today." Although she didn't get what she wanted today, she also expressed her gratitude to Wei Li.
Wei Li had been thinking about Chu Luan's condition since just now, and he thought that no matter how much Chu Luan pretended to be sick, he would not really reach the point where his life was short and unnoticed, could it be ...... What is wrong with her?
For the sake of the two of them helping each other today, he still plans to help her again, "The girl's illness ...... I know a few doctors with excellent medical skills......"
"No need." Chu Luan refused without hesitation, "Everyone has a life. I didn't think I would live long enough to stop causing trouble for my son. ”
Wei Li couldn't imagine that there were still people in this world who didn't want to live a few more years, looking at the other party's clothes, they were also rich, but they could have such a state of mind, I don't know which girl it is. He thought of Miss Chu again, it seemed that Miss Chu was not in good health, and when she first came to the capital, she asked for a doctor every once in a while.
"Childe just put me down on the side of the street in front of you."
Soon, the two will be separated.
At this time, Wei Li suddenly spoke, "Actually...... The girl was fine. ”
Chu Luan didn't expect him to suddenly talk about this, and he also teased him, "Childe won't be good-looking when he sees other people's births, so he thinks she's good, right?" "After all, they're not familiar.
Wei Li didn't answer directly, but said something else, "The girl's illness is deeply regrettable. But since there is still time, why not take the opportunity to feel the true feelings of the world? ”
Chu Luan didn't understand what he meant.
"The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop, and the child wants to raise but does not wait. No matter what the girl's parents are, after all, blood is thicker than water, so why should the girl have regrets in vain? ”
Chu Luan left him with a wry smile, "You don't know anything at all." ”
