"Xiao Langjun saw that I was inferior to Xiao Yunzi's sister, and I felt sorry for her in my heart," Ling Yuan said softly.

Wei Ji would have any grievances for a servant girl in her brother's backyard, she laughed in her heart, glanced at her and said, "I just don't like contact, and I don't have any other intentions." ”

Ling Yuan couldn't guess Wei Ji's true thoughts, thinking that he shouldn't leave a bad impression on Xiao Langjun no matter what, so he blessed: "Sister Xiao suddenly had abdominal pain last night, and she couldn't get up this morning, so I changed me, I know that Xiao Langjun likes Sister Xiao to take care of her, there is something wrong with the concubine, as long as Xiao Langjun corrects it, the concubine must change." ”

Wei Ji looked at her with a low posture that wanted to cry, and said, "You go and ask someone to bring a basin of hot water, so go and rest." ”

Ling Yuan walked out of the house, called another servant to prepare hot water, stood outside the door and waited for a while, but did not see any more orders from Wei Ji. She turned and went to the next room. Wei Zhao was not in the house, she lit the lamp, cleaned up a little, and after a while, Wei Zhao arranged for the guards to take turns to return to the room, and he rode all day, he took off his boots when he entered the door, and sat on the couch.

Ling Yuan brought hot tea and beat his legs again.

Wei Zhao asked, "Yudu is asleep?"

Due to Yang's special illness on this trip, there is no shortage of people around him, so Ling Yuan's responsibility is to take care of the two Langjun.

"I haven't slept yet," Ling Yuan said, "Cong Xiaolangjun doesn't seem to like concubines, concubines want to take care of them wholeheartedly, but he doesn't like them." ”

Wei Zhao's half-closed eyes opened and looked at Ling Yuan's face.

Ling Yuan's heart jumped, she was favored these days, Wei Zhao was willing to coax her, she always felt that this heroic and extraordinary Lang Jun also had a tender and gentle side, but the sharpness of his eyes just now was not seen how cold he was, but it made her feel a chill.

Wei Zhao smiled: "But what did you do to make him angry"

Ling Yuan immediately sat up straight and said, "It's too late for the concubine to please him, how dare you provoke him." ”

Wei Zhao said: "My brother is the only son in the family, and the elders will inevitably be favored, you will take care of him with all his heart, I remember you well." After saying that, he touched her cheek and smoothed her sideburns behind her ears.

Ling Yuan knew that the sentence just now was too much, and lowered his head and said: "Cong Xiaolangjun is young, and it is within his duty for the concubine to take care of him." ”

Wei Zhao bowed his head, thinking that Wei Zhao also had a maid to take care of at home, how could he not let people get close when he came out This was a trivial matter, but as long as he remembered her appearance, he couldn't help but feel a little more worried. After all, Wei Cong is young, and the appearance of boys and girls is soft and delicate, and he may not be able to endure the hardships of traveling.

Before leaving home, Wei Shen Le's family asked him to take care of this younger brother.

He stood up and decided to go see Wei Cong first.

Chapter 20: Cold

The post house was built in the early years, the whole building is made of wood, and there are few repairs, there are traces of insect erosion and mildew along the walls, and there is a smell of decay in the air. The postmaster gave Wei Zhao the best three rooms upstairs, which were better than the other rooms, but they were also limited.

Wei Zhao came to the next room, raised his hand and knocked on the door, the door creaked open, and he raised his foot and walked in.

The room is not big, and at a glance, I saw Wei Ji sitting on the Hu bed, the hem of her robe was raised, her feet were soaked in the wooden barrel, she was probably bored to sit down, and there was a book on her knees, half of which was halfway unfolded and looking down.

Wei Ji noticed something, raised her head, and saw Wei Zhao who suddenly appeared in the house, she couldn't help but be taken aback, her eyes were straight, and her lips were slightly open.

Just now, Wei Ji asked Ling Yuan to ask someone to fetch water, and after a little freshening, she wanted to rest immediately, but she sat in the ox cart all day, and she didn't know if it was because the weather was cold, or because her qi and blood were not smooth, her feet were cold, and she felt slightly stiff. It was difficult to fall asleep with cold feet, so when Wei Ji asked someone to change the water, she asked for a bucket of hot water, planning to soak her feet first.

The servant quickly brought the water, the water was hot and steaming, Wei Jiao took off her shoes and socks, and put her feet into the bucket, her skin was surrounded by the slightly burning water, and her skin was slightly red. Her feet were originally flat and narrow, slender and small, but at the moment they were slightly swollen and looked a little fleshy.

There was incense in the room, and the feet were warm, making people drowsy, Wei Ji took the book and silk, and read two lines of words with her spirit, but she didn't even hear the knock on the door, and suddenly felt that something was wrong in the house, and when she looked up, she saw Wei Zhao appear in front of her.

"Second Brother"

Wei Zhao nodded, seeing that she didn't forget to read a book even though she was soaking her feet, she didn't think it was strange, after all, her father Wei Shen and her eldest brother Wei Jin both had similar habits, but I didn't expect this little brother to look like he couldn't endure hardships, and he was really diligent and hardworking behind him.

"How can one person soak his feet, and no one will serve" Wei Zhao said and approached, just glanced down at random, and saw Wei Jiao's white and tender feet in the water, and couldn't help but be stunned, and his chest chuckled inexplicably, although he knew that this little clan brother was born well, but he didn't expect that she even had feet like jade, which was more delicate than how many women he had seen.

Such a thought flashed in Wei Zhao's mind, and he immediately stopped himself, comparing his clan brother with those women, what was he thinking, Wei Zhao turned his head unnaturally, and his face sank slightly.

After Wei Ji heard him ask, she thought that it could be that Ling Yuan said something to him, and after thinking about it again, she felt that it was nonsense, she was just a maidservant, even if she was born in the Huan family, it was impossible for Wei Zhao to ask her brothers of the same clan for her. Although Wei Zhao is lustful, he is not like a person who is dizzy and hot-headed and acts impulsively.

I think it should be related to the status symbol, it is normal for the children of the scholar clan to make slaves call maids, and they don't like people to serve themselves, which is the habit of being born in a cold family, like Wang Xie's door valve, not to mention changing clothes, it is to go to the toilet, and sometimes it also needs a maid on the side.

Wei Ji couldn't explain the reason why she didn't let people serve her, her mind was spinning quickly, and she suddenly thought of a reason, and said: "I'm thirteen now, I'll be fourteen after the moon, and fifteen will be adults, Ling Yuan is the second brother's room, there is a difference between men and women, it's really inappropriate for her to come and untie my clothes." ”

After speaking, she looked at Wei Zhao, looking like she was guarding the defense of men and women, but it was Wei Zhao's strange expression, which seemed to be incredible, and as if she was enduring something.

Wei Ji: "......"

Wei Zhao coughed lightly and said, "Yudu knows what to do."

Wei Ji was about to shake her head, thinking of the reason she had just said, and hesitated: "Slightly...... A little bit of it. ”

Wei Zhao raised his eyebrows, looking at her snow-white and tender face, he really couldn't associate her with the male and female □□, to put it mildly, Ling Yuan would be gloomy when he stood beside her, if the two had a personal relationship because they were too close, Wei Zhao couldn't think of such a scene even if he thought about it, but it made him feel ridiculous.

"Yudu." After Wei Zhao was surprised just now, he had a lazy smile on his face at this time, "You just like Ling Yuan, and my brother can also give it to you." ”

Wei Ji almost didn't jump up from the bucket, "No, no, no, how can you win the love of the second brother." ”

Wei Zhao touched his chin, "Could it be that Ling Yuan is not what you look like, you are so diligent and hardworking, wouldn't it be beautiful if there were many grinding servants around you." ”

Beautiful...... It's a disaster! Wei Ji only felt a headache, and only blamed herself for making a bad start just now, and now she can only discuss the beauty with Wei Zhao.

"The second brother is suave and affectionate, and I am far inferior. That, guarded by many beauties around him, is easily distracted, and can't read quietly. Wei Ji said all the reasons she could think of, "I need to have no distractions, so that I can enter the product as soon as possible and shine on the lintel." ”

Wei Zhao saw that her face was flushed, and Lang Lang laughed.

The water in the wooden bucket gradually became cold, and the coolness penetrated the skin, Wei Ji bent down to take the handkerchief, and was distracted from talking just now, but forgot that there was a silk book on his knees. As soon as his body moved, the silk book slipped down, and the scroll at one end quickly fell into the barrel.

Wei Ji was shocked, the silk book could not be wet, and the handwriting would melt when it was wet. Her complexion changed greatly, and she immediately went to fish, and for a moment her nerves were tense, and she only remembered that she could not let the silk book enter the water, but she forgot that her feet were in the bucket, and she grabbed the silk book with her hand, and the scroll hit the edge of the barrel, but it did not touch the water. But her movements were too big, her feet slipped, and her body couldn't control and rushed forward.

Seeing that he was about to overturn with a bucket, a pair of big hands stretched out, grabbed Wei Ji's shoulders, and easily lifted her up.

Wei Ji clutched the silk book tightly, looked down at the wooden barrel that had not been overturned, breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately said, "Thank you, second brother." ”

Wei Zhao lifted the person up, turned his head to see that the room was not big, and strode forward to put the person on the side of the bed.

Wei Ji sat on the edge of the bed, her hanging feet dripping water, and she already felt that her feet that had just been hot were getting a little cold because they hadn't dried the water.

"Second brother, help me take off the veil."

Wei Zhao turned around and took a dry handkerchief almost as she spoke, and was about to hand it to her, but when he saw that if she bent down to wipe her feet, her body seemed to fall off the side of the bed. He frowned and said, "Don't move." Then he bent down and lifted her foot to wipe it with a handkerchief.

This was the second time Wei Ji was surprised tonight, and even more so than the last time, she immediately shrank her feet. Wei Zhao's hand was like an iron tong, two fingers pinched her ankle, she retracted hard, but she didn't feel the slightest move.

Wei Zhao only urged her and said, "Soon." Wipe the water off her calves, then down her slender ankles, wrap her feet with a handkerchief, and rub them slightly twice to make sure that her toes are dry as well.

This simple action made Wei Zhao's hands inexplicably stiff and tight.

Originally, he just watched this young brother rush and almost fell, of course he wanted to help as an elder brother, but when he really got started, he felt a little awkward. Even if Wei Zhao didn't mean it, his subordinates still felt very clearly, Wei Zhao's feet were small, and he could only hold them with one hand.

Wei Zhao quickly wiped Wei Ji's two feet, stood up, his face was gloomy, and his brows were deeply furrowed.

Wei Ji saw that his face was ugly, and said in his heart that he must have been unhappy about doing such a service thing, so he immediately sat upright on the bed and said, "Thank you, second brother." ”

Wei Zhao said: "It's night, don't read, I have to hurry tomorrow." I called someone to clean up. Without waiting for Wei Ji to answer, he left the house and handed over the servants to clean up the tub.

Wei Zhao was standing on the second floor, and when he saw the servant come out with a wooden basin and bring it to the door, he turned around and went back to the room.

Early in the morning of the second day, Wei Ji was called by Hui Niang to get up, freshen up, change clothes, and clean up. Wei Ji woke up from the confusion of getting up and said, "Aunt Hui can take care of my mother, I can come by myself." ”

Hui Niang smiled lightly: "Mrs. still has Xiao Cicada to take care of, besides, Mrs. has been quiet these days, and there is no noise, Xiao Langjun can rest assured, I will come sooner or later, and I will go to Mrs. after serving Xiao Langjun." Zhao Langjun said, you are still young and need to be taken care of by your family. ”

When she goes out, Hui Niang no longer calls her a girl in private, but she is afraid that she will be exposed if she is not careful.

Wei Ji thought about it, this arrangement was also appropriate, and nodded in agreement.

After a few days on the road, the ox cart ordered Yuan to serve tea and water, and talked with Wei Ji in his spare time. She is a maid from the gate, she has a lot of knowledge, and she deliberately pleases, and Wei Ji is quite interesting to talk to her. In fact, as long as Ling Yuan doesn't come to take care of her, Wei Ji is very satisfied.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and the sky is vast and the trees are withering, giving you a feeling of cold and lonely winter. Wei Ji was afraid of the cold, and in the ox cart in the past two days, she had taken out the leather given by her sister-in-law Liu and put it on her lap. Even so, the cold wind coming in through the door often froze her hands and feet.

On this day she curled up again on the mattress.

Ling Yuan was also cold, but seeing Wei Ji like this, she was worried about what would happen. She reached out and touched Wei Ji's hand stove, it was still hot in the morning, but now it was completely cold. Seeing that Wei Ji didn't even say much, just curled up in the car, she knocked on the door twice and shouted out.

The bullock cart stopped.

Wei Zhao asked what was the matter.

Ling Yuan said: "Lang Jun, come and take a look at Xiao Lang Jun." ”

Wei Zhao opened the door, looked in, and saw a ball that looked like a ball.

Ling Yuan hurriedly lifted the skin, revealing Wei Jiao's pale face.

Wei Zhao frowned, reached over and touched Wei Zhao's cheek, "Yudu"

Wei Jiao's eyes opened a slit, and she didn't know where she was looking, and said vaguely: "Just let me sleep for a while." ”

Sleep for a while - Wei Zhao is worried that if he sleeps again, he will be gone. Wei Zhao thought of his family, in addition to him, other people such as his father Wei Shen and eldest brother Wei Jin all need to be tonic in winter, and they also pay attention to health care on weekdays.

Anyi Wei's people are not rich now, and it has a lot to do with frailty.

Wei Zhao beckoned Jiang Yu to approach, "There are still a few miles to the nearest post station"

Out of the corner of his eye, Jiang Yu glanced at the guard in the carriage and said, "There are still nine miles, and I can arrive before I catch up." ”

Wei Zhao tucked the skin down, covered Wei Ji's feet, made sure that it was impermeable, and said to Ling Yuan: "If it will still be cold after a while, you hold Yudu, don't let him get cold." ”

Chapter 21: Reprimand

The car spun around and quickly got back on the road, a little faster than before.

Ling Yuan went to look at Wei Ji from time to time, and saw that her face was white and her lips were bloodless, and he remembered Wei Zhao's instructions just now, although he was a little reluctant in his heart, he still moved to Wei Ji's side, and opened his arms to hug her.

A pair of arms came around, Wei Ji didn't notice it before, and suddenly smelled a stream of incense, she suddenly looked up, and found that Ling Yuan's face was very close.

Ling Yuan smiled at her, just as gentle and petty as before.

Wei Ji was shocked, the two were too close. And with these days together, she could see that although Ling Yuan looked weak on his face, he actually had a city government. And she is from the Huan family, and even the Le family has a little extra attention to her.

It was so close, Wei Ji was really afraid that Ling Yuan would notice something, so she immediately twisted twice and said, "Let go." ”

Ling Yuan said: "Lang Jun asked the concubine to take good care of Xiao Lang Jun." ”

Wei Ji lowered her face, and her voice was a little colder, "Let go of me." ”

Ling Yuan has been in a car with her for more than a few days, and he has never seen her speak so violently, his face turned slightly red, he let go of his hand and stepped back a little, with a sense of embarrassment in his heart, and slowly lowered his head.

Wei Ji was uncomfortably cold, her limbs were stiff, she was almost unconscious, and she shrank into the corner of the car, not bothering to see Ling Yuan's reaction.
