Chapter Fifty-Six: Scared Out of Sickness
The clan elder rubbed his knee, which was already kneeling, and gave You Shi a look. You Shi pushed Hexiang down at Xiao Rongzhan's feet: "Duan Wangye, it's all this mouthy slave, it's all her chewing her tongue, Lord Wang, you know everything, you can't wronged a good person!
The heart of the beloved son?Yuan Xi pursed the corners of his lips. She is just a concubine of her father, and according to the rules of dignity and inferiority, even her own biological children should not call her mother. She was so presumptuous that she called herself her daughter.
Xiao Rongzhan sneered twice: "So, you're a good person, aren't you?"
"Yes, yes, yes, the grass people have never done anything harmful. Aunt You glared at Hexiang fiercely, so frightened that Hexiang wanted to stop talking.
"This king heard that the people have such a saying, what pot with what lid. Xiao Rongzhan paused and glanced at You Shi: "Did you say that?"
"Yes...... No, it isn't. You Shi hesitated for a moment, and almost said the wrong thing. Xiao Rongzhan's question is obviously not to ask the people if there is such a sentence, it is clearly that he has such a subordinate, and he will not be a good master.
"Huh?" Xiao Rongzhan raised his eyebrows slightly.
You Shi kowtowed again and again: "The prince is angry, the grass people are not strict in discipline, it is the fault of the grass people, and I beg the prince to give the grass people a chance to mend their ways!"
While You Shi was answering, the clan elder had been in a fugue until Xiao Rongzhan's boots tapped lightly twice in front of him, and he came back to his senses.
"As for you......" Xiao Rongzhan didn't say anything more, just stared at the clan elder meaningfully for a while, got up and walked out of Xiyin Hall. As soon as Xiao Rongzhan left, the clan elder was spread on the ground, and his body trembled like chaff.
He Xiang thought that Xiao Rongzhan would pull out the sword beside him and unload himself, but now that he saw that he didn't think anything of himself, he was not as scared as he was just now. Hexiang got up and helped the clan elder: "Clan elder, get up quickly, the ground is cold, don't worry, everyone is gone." ”
"Gone? left without saying a word?" The clan elder looked at You Shi timidly, and You Shi was also full of suspicion. They stood up with each other's arms, and they were no longer as flying and domineering as they had come.
You Shi looked at Yuan Xi with gloomy eyes, but Yuan Xi looked away casually.
"Clan elder, auntie, what are you two afraid of, everyone is gone. Hexiang grinned and covered her bleeding forehead with a handkerchief.
"You damn girl!What do you know!?You're all harmed!" You Shi smashed a fist on Hexiang's heart, and Hexiang stumbled two steps and fell to the ground.
The patriarch propped up the table and sat down slowly, his heart beating wildly. Xiao Rongzhan didn't say a word, but it was even more terrifying than his anger. God knows if he will give him any poisonous wine and white silk on a whim after he goes back? God knows if he will tell the emperor and queen his nonsense, the Son of Heaven will be angry, bleeding and drifting, and when the time comes, even if he has nine lives, it will not be enough for the emperor to kill!
The store was as quiet as death, and Wei Yuanxi, who was partial, was extremely ignorant, and he didn't step forward to comfort him. The clan elder hesitated for a while, although he really wanted to ask Yuan Xi if Duan Wang Ye would want his own head? But when he thought that he was an elder, he couldn't erase his face.
The clan elders are like sitting on pins and needles, and You is worried. The more they pretended to be calm like this, the more relieved Yuan Xi became, and he ignored them and only cared about his own crackling abacus to check the accounts. If you pawn it, you will inspect the goods, and if you come to redeem it, you will collect money. This breath was held for an afternoon, and it was not until the sun set and when it was time for the door panel of Xiyin Hall to fall that the clan elder and the You clan had no choice but to stand up.
Yuan Xi only didn't see their gaze, and after he cleaned up inside and out, he said, "Clan Elder, Aunt You, the store is about to close." I still have something to do, I have to go first, you two are here by car, I guess you don't need to send it, you can do it. ”
The patriarch was just about to ask, but Yuan Xi turned around just right, and the patriarch said a word in his mouth, saying no, not saying no.
Yuan Xi boarded the carriage and ordered, "Go to Dongshi." ”
The carriage hurried forward, leaving Xi Yintang far behind, Ling Er shrank back from the window and asked, "Miss, what are we going to do in Dongshi? If you want to buy something, just tell the maid to go, why do you have to run by yourself?"
Yuan Xi smiled: "I heard that a batch of orchids came to Dongshi, let's hurry up." Orchids can sing and dance, and those rich and noble sons are all vying for a lot of money, and they won't be able to join in the excitement if they go late. ”
Ling'er scratched her head: "Miss wants to buy orchids, we open a pawnshop, what do you want orchids for?"
"You can't just look at it, you know?" Yuan Xi winked at Ling'er.
Ling'er suddenly realized, it turned out that the drunkard didn't mean to drink, and all the orchids and ducks were excuses.
"Miss, you don't want to go home, do you?"
Yuan Xi didn't answer, just looked out the window aimlessly: "Wait until it's dark and then go back, let's go back and go to sleep, and get up early tomorrow to check the accounts in the store." ”
Ling'er said: "The clan elder just now, as if he had something to ask Miss." If you don't go back, won't you snub him?"
Yuan Xi smiled faintly: "Slack? He doesn't care if I'm slacking off now." ”
Ling Er let away the playfulness and began to worry: "Miss, although the clan elder is too much today, he is a member of our family after all, and his surname is Wei." He offended Lord Duan, and it's not good for you?"
"You mean, you want me to say a few kind words for him in front of Duan Wangye?"
Ling'er nodded: "The clan elder even scolded the emperor today, I think the prince is very angry, in case he tells the emperor, our family will be finished." ”
"He won't. He didn't say a word, he just wanted to give the clan elder a blow and scare him for a few days, and he didn't really want to cure him. Regarding Xiao Rongzhan's temperament, Yuan Xi still has a bottom in his heart.
"You look at the appearance of the clan elder who wants to speak and stops, and he is embarrassed to say a sentence after chewing it in his mouth for so long. Yuan Xi sneered: "Actually, I know what he wants to say." I just wanted me to intercede, but I didn't let him say it. ”
Ling'er thought for a long time before she sneered: "So let's hang out outside tonight, just to avoid him?"
Yuan Xi looked a little more meaningful: "I don't believe it, the clan elder will tell his father and grandmother about this, unless he doesn't even want to lose face." I dare to pack the ticket, he must be sitting with You Shi now. ”
Ling Er smiled and shook her head: "I think this time, the clan elder must be scared out of illness." He just bullies the weak and is afraid of the hard, and when he really encounters a big event, he doesn't use it at all. ”
"I can't control that much," Yuan Xi said coldly: "Have you played Ye Zi Opera?" ”
Dongshi is the only night market in Kyoto, Dachu, located on both sides of the Splendid River, with a longitude and latitude bridge in the middle. Both sides of the strait are full of shops and vendors, and all kinds of toys are available. The warblers and swallows on the left bank are all goulan courtyards, and the restaurants and teahouses are dotted. On the right bank, there are more stalls selling snacks and game, and now it is only the end of the New Year, and it is the most lively time, when the small vendors push frozen pears and tomatoes along the street to sell, you can eat one for two pennies, sweet and icy. There are also hot fried chestnuts with sugar, bacon marinated meat with thick oil red sauce, crystal clear sugar dun, and yellow tangerine. The prices are all affordable, and you can eat a round belly if you can't spend half a copper coin.
Youyuanxi paid, Ling'er didn't care about it, the sugar pile in his left hand hadn't finished eating, and he picked up another piece of roasted meat in his right hand. Sweet, sour, salty and fragrant, I ate a greasy mouth, and then sat on a small table on the street to drink tea, all of which were game herb tea, and a sip of it was greasy and refreshing.
The orchids who danced with their thin waists were picked out one by one.
Won-hee yawned, it was almost time, it was time to go back. Yuan Xi was very sleepy, and when he got into the car, he dozed off on Ling'er's lap. I don't know when I got home, I went back to my room in a daze and fell asleep.
The next day the order got up very early, and the first month came even earlier. Not only did he bring a snack from the old lady, but he also brought an interesting news.
Won-hee washed his face and sat at the table in a trance.
Yuan Yue saw that she didn't look energetic, so she smiled and said, "You have a big heart, you came back so late yesterday, and my father said you came." ”
"What are you talking about me?" Yuan Xi mechanically scooped up the hot porridge and drank it, the red fragrant rice was mixed with white rice, and it was boiled for two hours, almost boiled, and it tasted sweet and very warm to the stomach.
"Say you're crazy," Yuan Yue wiped a little porridge juice off Yuan Xi's cheeks with a handkerchief, and shook her head: "You didn't know that something happened at home yesterday." ”
Yuan Xi's eyes widened, and Yuan Yue said solemnly: "The clan elder is sick, I don't know what the cause is, Doctor Zhang said that he was scared, but the clan elder said no." Anyway, the illness is very serious, and I can't even take medicine. ”
Yuan Xi and Ling'er glanced at each other and smiled secretly, as expected.
Seeing her unchanged face, Yuan Yue was a little puzzled: "You seem to know it a long time ago." ”
"Of course I don't know," Yuan Xi scooped a few mouthfuls of porridge, got up and took a box of Heavenly King Tonifying Heart Pill and handed it to Yuan Yue: "I'm checking the accounts in the store today, I have to leave a little early." Second sister, you help me send this to the clan elder and tell him that I will go to see him later. ”
As soon as Yuan Yue saw that it was this medicine, she pushed it helplessly: "Yesterday, Doctor Zhang prescribed this medicine, who knew that as soon as the clan elder heard the name of 'Heavenly King Tonifying Heart Pill', he coughed up blood, and the disease became more and more serious." Dad also scolded Doctor Zhang, and smashed the medicine box. ”
Wronged to death, Doctor Zhang died. Won-hee pursed his lips. Doctor Zhang's medicine is symptomatic, but it is a pity that he can cure the disease in his body, but he can't cure the disease in his heart, and the clan elder can't hear the word "king" now.
"Yo, that's pretty serious. I was fine in the store yesterday. Won-hee pretended to be puzzled and put the pills away.
She was puzzled, but she frightened Yuan Yue, and hurriedly grabbed Yuan Xi: "Third sister, you must be careful these two days, I see that Aunt You's face was not good-looking yesterday, in case they use illness as an excuse to target you again, you will have a hard time arguing." ”
They don't dare to do it at this time. At the moment, he is the only person in the mansion who can talk to Duanwangye, and their little lives are in the hands of Duanjun Wang.
