Humanity is a nuisance, verse 55
The servant woman hurriedly stepped forward to check the situation, only to see a long hole on Xiaohuan's head, and blood gushed out, dripping bright red.
Wang Muzhi closed his eyes, as if he couldn't bear to look at it, so he ordered the servants to hurry up and treat them, and asked the girls to settle down to rest elsewhere. Ruan Jue seemed to have lost her soul, and the other girls had been helped away, but no one cared about her.
Wei Ji was pulled away by Luo Huan, she was a little unwilling in her heart, if the old servant said it aside, she wouldn't have been so troublesome, but it involved the Wei family, so she had to be careful. The guards who Ruan Jue's master and servant said just now didn't believe it, no matter how well the lies were written, there were flaws, Xiaohuan's performance was not as sophisticated as Ruan Jue, and he could see the weakness of his heart at a glance. But now Xiaohuan is determined to die, which makes the whole thing come to an abrupt end.
Wei Ji glanced back and saw Ruan Jue looking at her with cold eyes, and there was no concealment at that moment, then she covered her face and cried a few times, slowly got up, and followed the direction of the girls.
Wang Muzhi called Wei Ji Luo Huan to the small hall, and there was a trace of tiredness between his eyebrows.
The servant woman soon came back and said, "The maid still has a breath, and she has already used the wound medicine, but the wound on her head is severe, and I don't know what will happen in the future." ”
Wang Muzhi said: "Today I invited the girls of Yuzhang to come, and there will be two lives before and after, and it is not good-looking with me, so this matter is over." ”
Princess Langya opened her mouth, and Wei Ji knew that she couldn't ask anymore, so she and Luo Huan quickly retreated and left. Skirt the lake full of lotus flowers and green leaves, and return to the water pavilion. Zhong Langjun was drinking and playing.
Luo Huan patted Wei Jiao's shoulder and said, "Don't think about it anymore, that Ruan girl is just a weak little lady, so what does it really have to do with your family, and what kind of wind and waves can it stir up." ”
Wei Ji sat down and used some melon and fruit snacks, but she was a little absent-minded when she played with Zhong Langjun.
When it was time to Shen, the servants came to report to Wei Ji, "General Wei is outside the garden and wants to take Xiao Langjun back." ”
Wei Ji was stunned, she didn't expect Wei Zhao to come, but it was boring to play at this time, she took the opportunity to say goodbye to Lang Jun, stood up and left.
When they arrived at the gate of Hanyuan, Wei Zhao's guards waited by the ox cart. Wei Zhao went over, the door was already open, and Wei Zhao was sitting inside, leaning on the mattress, with an open food box in front of him. It was prepared by Wei Ji when she came, and there were a few cakes and snacks in it.
Wei Zhao seemed to be hungry and ate two pieces of pastry.
Wei Ji shouted "Second Brother", got in the car and asked, "Why is the Second Brother here?"
Wei Zhao said: "I saw your car on the way home." ”
His eyes turned around her face, and he said again: "Why does your face look like this, it's not comfortable to play"
Wei Ji thought that she didn't show anything on her face, so she couldn't help but touch her face. The ox cart drove slowly, and she whispered, "There is such a thing......
Wei Zhao picked up the teapot in the car and poured a cup. Wei Ji was just about to remind him that the tea had been left for a long time, so he drank it all in one gulp, "What's the matter?"
Wei Ji told the ins and outs of the matter, and said with some regret: "I always feel that this matter is not simple, but now there is no way, the old servant died, the maid hit the stone again, and the Ruan family girl pushed it all away." After she finished speaking, she glanced at Wei Zhao.
Wei Zhao leaned back, chuckled and said, "Do you know what went wrong in this matter?"
Although the corners of his mouth were smiling, his gaze was a little heavy.
Wei Ji said: "I have already asked someone to find that old servant immediately, but I don't want to be a step too late, it is that maid, there are many loopholes in her words, but I didn't expect her to be so decisive......"
Wei Zhao interrupted her and said, "You are wrong, although you are quite decisive, you are not ruthless enough. ”
Wei Jiao's long eyelashes slapped twice, and there was a hint of disbelief in her eyes, "not ruthless enough"
Wei Zhao said: "Since you already suspect that the two servants are from the Ruan family, why don't you immediately ask someone to tie up the two, as long as the person is pinched in his hand, he must know what not to pry his mouth open"
Wei Ji said: "The garden is rented by the Luo family, and the servants in charge are members of his family, if you act like this, it is not to ask the Luo family to offend Princess Langya, besides, there is the Xie family behind the Ruan family." ”
Wei Zhao sneered and beckoned, and when Wei Zhao leaned over, he grabbed his shoulder.
Wei Ji was uncomfortable, but Wei Zhao's warm breathing and voice came close to his ears, "What about the Luo family, what about Princess Langya, you just thought too much, so those people had a chance." The Luo family is not stupid, if they are willing to do what you say, they can afford to take this risk. It's not good that you tied someone under the nose of Princess Langya, but if the key is found out, what can the princess do, Sima Pi still has to stabilize the situation now, and intends to encircle the local scholars, not wanting Jiangzhou to fall into the hands of the Huan family, how can the princess go against the grain. As for the Xie family, how much can they do for an orphan daughter of the Ruan family?"
When Wei Ji heard this, her eyes gradually widened. She also felt that she was thoughtful, neither did she make it too difficult for the Luo family, nor did she do anything out of the ordinary in front of Princess Langya, it turned out that she was thinking too much and missed the opportunity
Wei Ji thought for a while, and had to admit that what Wei Zhao said was right, if she had been more ruthless and quicker, maybe she would have been able to know what the old servant meant today.
Wei Zhao stared at Wei Ji for a moment, then reached out and pinched her face and said, "You, don't be pedantic all day long." Everything has to be accounted for before it can be done, how can there be so many reasons to talk about in the world. At the moment, the servant is not dead, as long as the person is alive, just go back and find a way to figure it out. ”
Wei Ji suddenly said secretly, thinking that after two lives, he would be more stable and thoughtful than others, but it turned out that in the eyes of the second brother, there were flaws and loopholes everywhere. She secretly glanced at Wei Zhao out of the corner of her eye, "Where did the second brother learn this, and my uncle never taught it?"
Wei Zhao picked up another piece of pastry and threw it into his mouth, "You are still young, it's good to think of this, but if my second brother had lost these eyes, he would have been calculated a long time ago." There are a lot of people staring at what I have in my hands, but they can't play with me. In Jiangzhou, you don't have to be too restrained, don't you have anything to do with me. ”
Wei Ji listened to what Wei Zhao said lightly, and turned her face sideways, but saw that his eyes were dark and unfathomable.
Wei Zhao leaned back and said, "An orphan girl in the Ruan family, what can have anything to do with us, even at the cost of a person's life, this is interesting." ”
He spoke in a funny voice, but in a cold tone.
Wei Ji said: "This is also what I can't figure out, I even admit to stealing, and I can hit a stone, if I really hide it, it must be a bigger thing than stealing." I haven't seen Ruan's girl a few times, but when I came to Yuzhang, I saw her with King Langya, but this is nothing ......"
Wei Ji thought about the scenes of meeting Ruan Jue a few times before, and her mind flashed to look at Ruan Jue today. She seems to care about herself, too. Wei Jue suddenly became excited, her concern for Ruan Jue was all because she had married Xie Xuan in her previous life, so she paid more attention to this woman who was suspected of having a friendship with him. But Ruan Jue, why is her attitude towards her vaguely strange.
Everything happens for a reason, Wei Ji thought about it again and again, and at the moment when the ox cart stopped, a terrible thought suddenly jumped out.
The author has something to say:
73
Chapter 73: Growing Up
Wei Zhao had already gotten out of the car, turned around and urged, "What are you doing in a daze", and suddenly saw Wei Zhao's suddenly pale face.
She got up and was about to jump off with Tochigi, but Wei Zhao held her hand, "What's wrong?"
Wei Ji looked around, and only after entering the door did she speak: "A crime that is more serious than stealing, will it involve human life, I think about it, the Ruan girl has nothing to do with our family, I have only seen it so many times, the first time was in Jiangxia, at that time, she only brought that maid and a servant by her side, will it be ......"
Her guess was groundless, just a sudden thought, and her voice was soft.
When Wei Zhao heard her say this, he had already heard the meaning of the words, and his face was tense, "Do you suspect that she has something to do with your falling into the river?"
Wei Ji was just thinking nonsense, all kinds of thoughts came together, "I don't know, I just thought of it suddenly, and I don't have any evidence......"
Wei Zhao groaned for a while, and said slowly: "That servant is not still alive, and the one who is dead always has family members, you don't have to worry about this matter, I will ask someone to check it carefully." ”
Wei Ji nodded emotionally, thinking of Wei Cong, there was a dull pain in her heart.
Wei Zhao lowered his head to look at her, his eyes sank for a moment, and he reached out and touched her white jade-like face, "I'm here." ”
It's hard to calm down this night, and when I think of that possibility during the day, my heart is messy. I couldn't sleep well at night, dreaming one by one, she seemed to have returned to Jiangxia in the twilight, she was standing on the bridge and was stunned, and heard her brother's voice behind her, "Why did you dress up like this and run out" She was wearing a silk shirt, which was Wei Cong's clothes.
"But I heard that Xie Jialangjun is in a neighboring county, and I want to go and take a look," Wei Cong said with a smile, "You are so bold, you should also bring someone around you." ”
Wei Ji turned her head, but before she could open her mouth, her face changed suddenly, and an ox cart was galloping towards the bridge.
Wei Cong pulled Wei Cong, who knew that when he went to the bridge, the cow suddenly swayed left and right, the coachman couldn't pull it, the bridge was already narrow, there was nowhere to dodge, between the lightning and flint, Wei Cong felt held by Wei Cong, and suddenly suffered a heavy blow, her body fell, fell into the river, the water was turbulent, she struggled desperately, but the hand she was holding on to it was loosened and swept away by the current.
"Brother......
Brothers and sisters, connected by blood, seem to have an extra layer of connection than others, at this moment, Wei Ji's body and soul seem to be separated, her heart is painful, and it is difficult to breathe. She shouted for Wei Cong, but her body fell deeper.
"Xiao Langjun."
Wei Ji opened her eyes, and her body seemed to sink as if it had been filled with lead.
Hui Niang wiped her face with a handkerchief, and said softly: "The girl has grown up." ”
Wei Ji hadn't heard her call a girl for a long time, and she was in a trance, her abdomen was distended, and there were bursts of dull pain, reminding her that something unusual was that it was Kwai Shui. Her eyes widened and she got up to sit up. Hui Niang took a pillow and put it behind her waist, and went out and quickly came back with a bowl of hot soup.
Wei Ji took a sip and tasted the flavor of angelica, and looked up in surprise.
Hui Niang looked at her lovingly and said, "It's all about avoiding people, I personally boiled it, Lang Jun, don't worry." ”
Wei Ji had a dull pain in her abdomen, lowered her head and drank the soup, glanced out, and found that the sky was dark, "What time is it, how long have I been sleeping?"
Hui Niang touched her forehead, the corners of her eyes were a little moist and said: "It's time, you didn't get up this morning, I came in to see you sleeping groggily, your forehead was hot, I almost called the doctor, fortunately I gave you a check first, it turned out that Kwai Shui came, my little girl has grown up." ”
When Wei Ji first came to Kwai Shui in her previous life, she was also like having a serious illness, her body was not strong, and she lost her brother due to falling into the river, and she did not take care of her body. Now her body is better than in her previous life, but Wei Ji still has a fever and abdominal pain.
Hui Niang said: "Don't learn today, take a day off first, there is a way to sharpen knives and not chop wood, and it is not bad for these two days." ”
She saw that Wei Ji studied hard every day, often reading and practicing calligraphy until late at night before falling asleep, she was very heartbroken, and often persuaded her to rest more.
Wei Jiao's body was sore, her body was heavy, and her brain was a little confused, so she didn't reluctantly study again. It's just that now her physical condition is special, and she can't ask her maid to get close, and everything is handled by Hui Niang. After using a little porridge, Hui Niang cleaned it up, and Wei Ji let her rest.
That night, Wei Zhao returned home, and when he entered the door, he was still thinking about things. The Luo family gave him a thorough wind, saying that the imperial court would be under the will, and he was about to be added to the governor of Jiangzhou. This is consistent with what Shi Huan Chong said that day. After Jiangzhou came from Huan Chong, it looked calm on the surface, but in fact, all the forces behind it were not stable, and the imperial court was very wary of the Huan family, but now the Northern Expedition was unfavorable, Huan Wen was on the table many times, and the imperial court was forced to let Huan Chong assassinate Jiangzhou. It's just that in this way, Jiangzhou and Jingzhou are combined, and they have independent power. Ren Weizhao is the guardian, which is the result of the game and trade-off of all parties.
As a royal prince, Sima Pi has lived in Yuzhang for a long time and has not left, and the most reassuring thing is the Huan family, and now he has been enveloped many times, and even promised the princess.
Wei Zhao sneered, if he really married the princess, one day his true identity would be exposed, but I was afraid that Sima Pi would be the first to kill him.
Wei Zhao thought about it for a while, his eyes swept casually, and when he saw the direction of Wei Zhao's house, he paused slightly, and suddenly turned his head again, "What about Xiao Langjun?"
The steward also followed his gaze, and at this time in the past, the lights in Wei Ji's study were bright, and everyone in the house knew that Xiao Langjun studied hard. He said: "I heard that Xiao Langjun is a little unwell today, so he should be resting." ”
Wei Zhao bowed his head, returned to the main room, looked at the military affairs and greetings sent today, and called people to come in and freshen up.
The maid on duty today is called An Zi, a new servant added to Yuzhang, who was born delicate and neat, and has more dexterity than others. After entering the mansion, the rules are learned well, and people look honest and honest, Huang Zhiyin is very careful about the selection of the people who serve around Wei Zhao, except for a few originally brought from Jiangxia, this An Zi is the fastest.
An Zi entered the door, glanced at Wei Zhao with a stealing eye, and saw that his brows were slightly furrowed, he should be thinking about something, and served to freshen up. I saw Wei Zhao distracted, handsome under the lights, and a majesty that was difficult for his peers to reach. An Zi's heart was pounding, and a slight flush appeared on her face. She watched these days, and she originally saw that Huang Zhiyin was in charge of the concubine in the backyard, and thought that she was the most favored, but at the moment, Wei Zhao was the most cold to her, and others such as Ziju Xiao Yunzi Peilan were not necessarily favored, and they were better than ordinary maids. I heard that Ling Yuan was the most favored in the past, but he has been driven away.
Wei Zhao is a merry man, An Zi sometimes laughs boldly, and when he is in a good mood, he will also laugh a few words, so that An Zi has some other thoughts, and he said that he is gentle and considerate, if he asks Lang Jun to take a look, wouldn't he also have a chance. These days, she has been cleaning herself up with her heart, putting rouge gouache on her face every day, dressing up exquisitely, and becoming more and more beautiful.
When she was changing Wei Zhao's clothes, she had the courage to gently touch Wei Zhao's body with her fingertips, and raised her head shyly, but she looked at Wei Zhao with annoyance, "Go down." ”
An Zi's face turned pale with fright, and he immediately retreated.
Wei Zhao picked up the tea bowl on the side and took a sip of tea, it was not strange for the maid to secretly send Qiu Bo, and he didn't take it to heart, but this kind of posture was too common, he had no intention of using it, he just felt bored. Just as he was about to call someone else, Wei Zhao thought of Wei Ji again, this younger brother was delicate and frail, and he didn't know what was uncomfortable.
He called the steward to inquire about the situation, but the steward did not know. Wei Zhao's face sank suddenly, suspecting that these people were not caring to serve.
The steward said: "Xiao Langjun, who was personally taken care of by Hui Niang, said that there was no big problem, and it would be like this when he was at home before, just rest for two days." ”
Wei Zhao put on his shoes and walked outside.
When I came to Wei Zhao's courtyard, there was a lamp in the room, and there was no maid waiting, and Wei Zhao's face was heavy when he came in.
Wei Ji had dinner just now, asked Hui Niang to rest, the pain in her abdomen made her unable to sleep, she got up and took a book to read, at this time her brain was dizzy, she did not choose the usual book, but picked a travelogue. The landscape depicted in it made her a little moved, forgot the discomfort on her body, and then fell asleep unconsciously. I don't know how long it took, but there seemed to be movement around her, and she woke up.
The lights in the room were getting dimer.
"Aunt Hui" She blinked her eyelids twice, and saw a tall figure sitting on the edge of the bed in her blurred vision, "Second brother"
Wei Ji didn't expect him to come suddenly.
Wei Zhao looked down at her, "Where is it uncomfortable?"
Wei Ji had already thought of an excuse, "It's just that I am dizzy and can't make it stronger, and I have had it before, so it's not in the way." ”
Wei Zhao knew that the Wei family was somewhat frail, but when he saw Wei Ji lying on the bed, his face was bloodless, like a delicate flower, he felt a little uncomfortable, so he naturally touched her forehead first, a little hot.
"How do the people around you serve you," Wei Zhao's tone was a little stern.
How dare Wei Zhao let people get close to serve, she deliberately called the maids away to rest, she pulled Wei Zhao's hand away a little, and said, "I had a bad temper when I was sick, so I let them all go." ”
Wei Zhao was silent.
Wei Ji sat up slightly, felt a stream of heat below, and suddenly didn't dare to move.
