Volume 1 Dali Fengyun 56 The evil servant is rampant and small to punish, and the girl's heart is high and difficult to cross the wall
Xiao Yi got up early in the morning and went out after exercising. The sky has just changed a little, and there are already a lot of people gathered on this street, Xiao Yi looked around, most of them were the surrounding people, selling some farm vegetables, and they all wanted to sell them as soon as possible and go to the field as soon as possible. Several shops have also opened their doors, and customers are already visiting. Xiao Yi thought to himself, this Lishui Town is really a good place, and this daily morning market is so lively. He walked around and saw that the sky was already bright, so he bought some delicate ones and brought them back early.
Before Tong Lu got up, Xiao Yi and Baiqing sat on the bluestone slab at the door of the post house and ate breakfast. The street is crowded with people, some people are in a hurry, some people are idle, some children are playing around, and some old people are smiling and smiling. A stubborn jujube red horse passed by, snorted twice, and pulled down dozens of ball-shaped horse manure in front of Xiao Yi. Xiao Yi Baiqing laughed and avoided it, and the guy scolded and stepped forward to clean up the horse manure. Everything is so natural, Xiao Yi thought to himself, if he was old, it would be comfortable to sit here every day and watch that person come and go.
"Brother Xiaoyi, did you have a good rest last night?"
As soon as Wei Wei came out of the inn, he saw Xiao Yi. Xiao Yi handed him breakfast, but he was not polite, and stuffed it into his mouth in three or two clicks.
"I have already found a few brothers to wander around the Xiao Mansion, and the old man Xiao has already noticed it, but I only let them watch from a distance, and the old man Xiao has not moved. ”
Xiao Yi finished eating breakfast in his hand and stood up,
"Brother Wei, you are very familiar with this Lishui Town, why don't you take us around. ”
"Haha, I haven't turned in a long time, so let's go together. Hey, we horse gangs sleep in the open on weekdays, but we rarely have this spare time. ”
"Hehe, Brother Wei, let's go and see the Drunken Spring Tower first!"
The three of them looked back, and there was a person coming out of the gate of the post house, it was Tong Lu. Wei Wei smiled,
"I didn't expect Brother Tong Lu to be young and have such a hobby. However, there is nothing to see during the day, and the eldest brother will take you to visit it in the evening. ”
Wei Wei put his hand on Tong Lu's shoulder, and walked towards the market together, Xiao Yi Baiqing followed behind, chatting about the customs and customs. The streets of this Lishui town are numerous, criss-crossed, each street is not long, but it looks very similar, so there are often foreign merchants and tourists who get lost here. The four of them turned around for about an hour, and then found a nearby tea stall near the water to sit down and rest. As soon as he sat down, a man hurried over, leaned over and whispered in Wei Wei's ear. Wei Wei nodded after hearing this, sent his subordinates, and whispered to Xiao Yi and the others,
"The young lady of the Xiao family went to Caohai Town to enjoy the lotus flowers a few days ago, and he has lived there for more than half a month. I let a few brothers keep an eye on me, no, it only takes half an hour to get home. The money for this meal belongs to me, and I will eat as many as I like, and the three of you will go around and have a look." Oh, huh!"
Tong Lu laughed out loud,
"Brother Wei, if you go to embarrass this Xiao family's daughter, is it a little unreasonable!"
Wei Wei was stunned, his face was a little embarrassed, and he couldn't make a sound. He felt like he had barbs under his buttocks, and he couldn't sit still.
Xiao Yi said in his heart that what Lu Lu said was reasonable, but when he said it to Wei Wei, he also refuted his face, and it was not good for him to say anything more! Tong Lu shook his head and continued,
"It's really a coincidence, I helped them so much, hehe, you won't be polite to us in the future!"
Tong Lu looked at Xiao Yi and said, his eyes were playful,
"I still remember the way that young lady looked at you, tsk, I can't wait to recruit you home immediately and be a door-to-door son-in-law!"
When Wei Wei heard this, it turned out that a few people still had some relationship with the young lady of the Xiao family, so he stayed and continued to listen to a few people. Bai Qing pouted, squinted at Tong Lu, and kicked him right in the calf. Tong Lu was in pain and wanted to fight back, but was easily dodged by Bai Qing. Tong Lu squinted his eyes, laughed dryly, and continued,
"This Xiao family has a big business, and Brother Xiao Yi wants to enjoy happiness! In the future, he will be the overlord in Lishui Town, and who will dare to bully us!"
When Bai Qing heard this, he was angry, and threw out a chopstick casually, which hit Tong Lumian on the door, causing Tong Lu to scream in pain.
"Hehe, this is the retribution for talking nonsense!"
Tong Lu touched his forehead and said angrily,
"You are so ruthless, if you are not a woman, I will definitely teach you a good lesson!"
“......”
The two quarreled together, Xiao Yi had long been used to it, but Wei Wei felt fresh, and listened to the two of them arguing without saying a word.
Wei Wei finished the last bite, his hands kept rubbing against each other. Xiao Yi looked at Bai Qingtong Lu, shook his head slightly, and said to Wei Wei with a smile,
"Brother Wei, if you have something to do, you can get busy first, don't worry about us. We'll walk around here and drink together later. ”
Bai Qing said that he couldn't help Tong Lu, but he couldn't lose his momentum.
"Hmph, this girl is in a good mood today, let you go first!"
Tong Lu was about to return to the top, Wei Wei stood up,
"Then I'll be busy with me first, let's get together again when we're free!"
A few people said goodbye, Wei Wei turned around and took two steps, and then looked back, seeing that these three people were so good, his eyes were full of envy. Tong Lu's words should also have touched on his pain points, he seemed a little uncomfortable, and he didn't know what to do next.
After Xiao Yi and the three of them wiped their mouths after eating, they walked around the town for a while, and before they knew it, they walked out of the market. This road is somewhat familiar, it is the thoroughfare that entered the town on the first day. It rained overnight, and there were a lot of car marks on the road, and although it was often repaired, a lot of water still accumulated. There were so many horses and horses that some places became very muddy. There are many fields along the roadside, and several canals crisscross them, and the grain in the fields is growing well, and it is expected that there will be a good harvest after autumn. Xiao Yi pointed to the field and sighed,
"I heard that this large piece of land belongs to the Xiao family, and this Xiao family is really a giant on that side! This old man Xiao rented the land to others, and then collected the rent from it, and he didn't have to do anything, and the money ran into his own hands. It's brilliant, it's brilliant!"
"That's not it, those who are officials have to rely on him to support, of course they have to wear the same pants as him, how can this ordinary person enter his eyes, hey, this Lishui Town is his Xiao family's final say. ”
Xiao Yi chose an excellent section of the road, and took advantage of the clear water on the side of the road to clean himself up. The three of them took off their shoes and socks together, soaked their feet in the small ditch on the side of the road, the water was cold and cold, and gently rinsed the skin on their feet, which was crispy and itchy, and it was very comfortable. Not long after, a team of carriages and horses came in the distance, and looking at the formation, it was known that the Xiao family's convoy had arrived, and the carriages and horses were neatly aligned, and they should not have been harassed. The three of them got up, put their shoes in their hands, and watched the convoy from afar. This section of the road was in excellent condition, and the horses in front of them were moving very fast, but the horses not far behind them were not in a hurry. When he was close to ten feet, he heard the man on the horse shouting,
"If you don't want to die, get out of here, if you don't want to die, get out of here!"
Xiao Yi and the three of them were standing on the side of the road, not blocking the way, and when they heard this roar, they were very angry. Tong Lu gritted his teeth and said,
"Brother Xiaoyi, teach them a lesson!
Bai Qing also nodded vigorously, and Xiao Yi didn't know when there was an extra stone in his hand.
The first few people rushed over, with fierce faces, thinking that they would treat the nearby villagers like this on weekdays. Xiao Yi was angry in his heart, and he saved up a belly of fire. The man on the horse also looked like a practitioner, his horsemanship was very exquisite, and he had a long whip in his hand, and the horse also listened to his drive, and ran to this side without reservation. Xiao Yi grabbed Bai Qingtong Lu and tried to get as far away as possible from the avenue, for fear that the long whip would not obey the call.
Suddenly, the horse snapped its front legs and fell forward. The man on the horse was shocked, and although he tried to stop the fall, the horse was too strong, and the man was also weak. The horse fell straight out a few feet away, but he was afraid that he would not be able to stand up for a short time. Looking at the man on the horse, it was even more miserable, he flew out of the horse, fell heavily on the road, a large blood stain on his chest, and spat blood from his mouth, and was seriously injured. The first person had such an accident, although the three behind him had tried their best to control it, they still couldn't stop the momentum and fell to the ground one after another, but with the previous one as a warning, the injury was much smaller.
Although Xiao Yi was a little sorry, it was only because the person was too fast that he was seriously injured. The faces of the three of them were flushed, and Tong Lu couldn't bear it, so he turned his head and laughed silently. It is also thanks to the extreme arrogance of this group of family members that they will suffer like this. Xiao Yi's moments are just right, so as not to make those people react early.
Tong Lu ran forward, with a bitter expression,
"Oh, are the big brothers okay, this ...... This...... What a good thing that is!"
Xiao Yi looked at Tong Lu's appearance, and he was also funny, he was also full of compassion, ran east and west, and finally pulled Bai Qing to run to the person who fell the worst,
"Big brother, you're okay, oops, my Qingqing happens to be a doctor, you can bear it, it'll be fine." ”
The man tried to look up at the two of them, but blood was pouring from his mouth, and he couldn't say a word. Tong Lu deliberately touched his injury, the man actually shouted in pain, Bai Qing pushed Tong Lu away, only then did he examine it carefully, and sighed,
"There are many fractures all over the body, this neck can't move, I'm afraid it's broken, but fortunately it didn't hurt the blood, otherwise it would be a dead body now. Big brother, your riding skills are too bad, I'm afraid I won't be able to ride a horse again in the future!"
The man's tongue sticked out, and bloody saliva flowed all over the ground, and he was very disgusting. After all, Bai Qing has studied medicine for many years, no matter what happened to this person before, and now that he has become her patient, she still has to work hard to heal him.
"Big brother, don't move yet, I'll help you stop the bleeding first, and then connect this bone for you. ”
The man whined twice, and he should have understood what Bai Qing said. The medicine was also effective, and the bleeding stopped after a few wounds. Xiao Yi tried to stretch his arms, and then it was his bone grafting time. Bai Qing's strength is insufficient, and the same is true when he was in the Lu family pharmacy, Lu Ziling and Bai Qing guided, Xiao Yi actually operated, although the technique was poor, but this strength was enough, and it was almost a little bit able to break over, and this one on the ground met Xiao Yi, I was afraid that I would have to suffer more.
There was a few clicks of broken bones, and the man shouted, which was really painful.
"Oh, big brother, I'm really sorry, I haven't done it for too long, and it's a little rusty. ”
The man's hands were originally dislocated at the root, but they were really broken by Xiao Yi. Xiao Yi's heart was almost full of anger, regardless of his pain, he quickly took the hands back, anyway, with Bai Qing here, this bone can grow well after a few months of recovery. The three of them were also choked by the fall, Tong Lu went over to check one by one, and deliberately pressed the injury, causing several people to shout one after another, eager to kick the kid to the ground with flying feet.
In the midst of the scolding, the carriage and horse behind him had already arrived. This car is extremely luxurious, and it is a little wider than the cars and horses seen on weekdays, so in order to avoid the danger of the wrong car, there are a few people on the ground to open the way. Xiao Yi looked at this side, there were a lot of people, and it was estimated that there could be dozens of heads. When they came to the front, everyone parted on both sides, and a plain woman walked over, it was the Miss Xiao family who designed the thief that day. When the young lady saw Xiao Yi, her eyes were full of joy, and her joy was overflowing.
"Childe, it's you!
The woman approached, and Xiao Yi looked at her carefully. Miss Xiao wore a pink dress, the skirt fit very well, revealing a graceful figure.
"My servant is too rude, so I frightened my son, and I really don't want to go. ”
Xiao Yi smirked, touched his head and replied,
"It didn't matter, we were just standing on the side of the road, undisturbed. However, these big brothers are not lightly injured, and I am afraid that they will have to rest for a while. ”
The young lady gave a few orders to the person beside her, and everyone stepped forward and cooperated with Bai Qing to fix the bones, and then they were all carried to the carriage behind. The first horse could not stand up, and was dragged to the edge of the ditch by several men, and directly ended his life, and the other horses were not seriously injured, and were led back to the horse team after being pacified. The young lady is shrewd and capable, everything is arranged just right, and Xiao Yi and the three of them are also quite admired. The young lady looked around, looked at Xiao Yi and the three of them, and already understood in her heart, snickered slightly, and hid her smile again. Xiao Yi knew that she had already seen the clue, and touched her head awkwardly. The young lady looked at him with a very mischievous look in her eyes,
"Childe, last time I helped the sisters out of the siege, I haven't thanked you properly, so it's better to go back to my house with me, so that the little girl can do her best as a landlord. ”
After the young lady finished speaking, she lowered her head and played with her fingers, and her face was a little more rosy. Seeing her handle things so neatly, this coldness reveals a hint of shyness, but it is even more girlish. Tong Lu also felt funny when he saw her like this,
"Miss Xiao, there are three of us here, you only invite Brother Xiaoyi, so what should the two of us do!"
The young lady looked up at a few people, bowed lightly, and said with a smile,
"It's the little woman who is rude, so let the servant prepare three good horses, and let's go home together. Also, well, Brother Xiaoyi, my name is Wen Juan, and you will call me Juan'er in the future. ”
After saying that, the young lady led the horse herself. Xiao Yi also felt strange that such a big accident had happened, and this woman didn't even ask a word. Not long after, Miss Xiao brought back three horses, and Xiao Yi knew that they were the best horses at first sight. The horses are all long and tight, tall and strong, handsome and extraordinary, with smooth hair, two big eyes, wide hooves, strong muscles, and real horses. Xiao Yi admired in his heart, this horse is worth a lot of money, ordinary people do a lifetime of work, but they are afraid that they can't buy one, this young lady will take three horses casually, it is conceivable that the Xiao family's wealth is so strong that ordinary people can't imagine it.
Xiao Yi took the horse, glanced at it, jumped up, the horse's front hooves were gently raised, Xiao Yi put his hands on its neck, and the horse was instantly obedient. Xiao Yi stretched out his hand forward, Bai Qing understood, and as soon as his body was light, he was lifted up by Xiao Yi, Bai Qing sat sideways in Xiao Yi's arms, and the young man and girl were very affectionate. Miss Xiao's expression was a little gloomy, but it was only for a moment. Tong Lu took the reins, turned over and got on the horse, and the whole action was extremely chic. When he first returned to Dali City, he was not very skilled, but this good horse of the Wang family could be driven by him at will, and he soon had a good appearance. The horse was too tall, and the servants around him were also very good at getting into trouble, so they hurriedly squatted down and let the young lady step on the horse. The three horses walked in front and slowly walked towards Naxiao Mansion.
After a while, they came to the street. When people saw this formation, they also knew that it was someone from Naxiao's mansion, and they avoided it one after another. Until the line reached the gate of Xiao's mansion, there was no stagnation at all. As soon as they arrived at the gate of Xiaofu, someone came forward, and the four of them got off their horses and stood still, so that they could take a look at this Xiaofu mansion. I saw that the wall of Xiao's Mansion was more than high, and the two lions at the door were majestic, and the Zhu Gate was opened, but there was no end in sight.
"Brother Xiaoyi, this is my home, wait a while, I'll welcome my sister and brother out of the car first. ”
Xiao Yi nodded,
"Sister Wenjuan, please feel free. ”
The carriage stopped, and three young girls came down one after another, and the half-grown child. When the three young ladies saw Xiao Yi and the three of them, they recognized them, and they also gave salutes one after another, but the child, when he saw Xiao Yi, he was squeezing his eyebrows, so he wanted to step forward and entangle with him. Fortunately, Na Wenjuan was in a hurry and grabbed her collar, which made the little fist and foot fall into the air. Xiao Wenjuan was a little embarrassed,
"My brother is not very sensible, please don't be surprised. ”
Out of nowhere, two nurses came out of nowhere and took the little boy away, and Xiao Yi and the three of them followed the four sisters into the courtyard.
"This is my sister Wen Ting, they are my sister Wen Yu and Wen Yuan, our Xiao family is two pairs of twins, outsiders can't tell the difference. There is also a younger brother in the family, named Wenyu, you have seen it just now, but he is a little stubborn, I think I blame us who are sisters for spoiling him too much. ”
Xiao Yi listened and watched, walked through the front yard, passed through several halls, and then arrived in the backyard, the three sisters said goodbye and returned to the house, leaving only Wen Juan alone. There is a pond in the backyard, and there is a pavilion standing on the side, Wen Juan brought a few people to the pavilion, and the melons and fruits that the people have already prepared look very attractive. The young lady smiled,
"Please feel free, let's eat some first, and there will be a dinner to entertain distinguished guests later. Hey, the four of us sisters seem to have infinite scenery, but in fact, all kinds of affairs in this Xiao Mansion can't be the master at all, and occasionally go out and spend money, that's all. Every time I go out, I am surrounded by a group of people, and I can't really see the world outside the house at all. Most of what the sisters know comes from that book. ”
Wen Juan said a little moved, tears rolled in her eyes,
"Actually, I prefer to be born in a poor house, this high-gate compound, and the outer world is thousands of miles away. ”
Xiao Yi picked up a fruit and took a hard bite, the flesh was extremely sweet, he took another bite and stuffed all the fruit into his mouth. Xiao Wenjuan also laughed out loud when she saw it,
"Hee-hee, it's the first time I've seen people eat fruit like this, it's really interesting. ”
Xiao Yi swallowed the pulp and pit, and then said slowly,
"The poor people in this world are most afraid of their fate being controlled by others, Sister Wenjuan, do you know what I'm talking about?"
Xiao Wenjuan nodded hurriedly,
"This is natural, I can't be the master either, if I don't find a satisfactory one, I'm afraid that I would have married a wife a long time ago and gave birth to children for others. ”
Xiao Yi wanted to hint at the Xiao family's hoarding of land, but unexpectedly touched on Xiao Wenjuan's sadness. Bai Qingtong Lu didn't care about what the two of them said, he just buried his head in eating fruit and snacks. Xiao Yi had no choice but to change the subject,
"Sister Wenjuan, I see that although your sister looks very similar to you, her personality is indeed very different, but that Wenyu Wenyuan walks the same, and I don't know why. ”
Wen Juan smiled,
"It's also strange, my sister and I somehow never got on the right path, she was cowardly, obedient, and never complained about anything, thinking that she could marry a good husband, get married and have children, and live a peaceful life, while I was just the opposite. I want to control my own destiny, but I, but I ......"
Speaking of which, it came back to this, Xiao Yi had a headache, so she had to interrupt her,
"Of course you can, there are no absolutes in everything, nothing is impossible! You must believe in yourself, and we can also help you!"
When Xiao Wenjuan heard this, her eyes shimmered,
"Really?"
Xiao Yi nodded, wanting to divert her attention again,
"That's nature. By the way, Sister Wenjuan, your Xiao family is so magnificent, and this yard is so big, there must be a lot of people. ”
Wen Juan smiled,
"Brother Xiaoyi's focus is really different. There are hundreds of servants in our Xiao family, but most of them are doing errands outside, and there are only about 100 people in the house, which is not much. ”
Tong Lu snorted, spit out the flesh, and scattered it everywhere,
"Oh my God, are these 100 people still few? Do you know that there are only three servants in the emperor's favored concubine courtyard!"
Wen Juan was stunned, and was speechless. Tong Lu then asked,
"Sister Wenjuan, I heard you say just now, can't you even interfere in this Xiao family's affairs?"
Wen Juan nodded yes, and listened to Tong Lu again,
"It won't be that Master Xiao has to bow down to everything, everything has to be handled by him!"
"It's pretty much the same, in short, my father is very busy every day, and even the matter of buying vegetables and squeezing oil needs to be arranged by him. But he is also cautious, some things involve the official family, and once something goes wrong, it is very likely that the head of the whole family will be killed. The father said that he would wait for his younger brother to grow up and then let him take over. ”
Wen Juan is also strange, these people are not familiar with her, but they are close at first sight, and they are willing to tell them about the affairs of this family. But she concluded that the three were not bad people.
Tong Lu listened carefully and said,
"One more thing, Sister Wenjuan, you are such a big young lady, if you invite those of us who don't know each other into the mansion, aren't you afraid of any problems?"
Xiao Wenjuan smiled lightly,
"I have already sent someone to inform the house, not to mention that thanks to you that day, I won't lose the jade pendant, my father shouldn't mind this. ”
As soon as the words fell, a person rushed over, Xiao Yi saw that this person had a steady pace and even breathing, and he should also be a good player. The man ran to him, bent down and smiled,
"Second Miss, this wine and food is ready, the master said to invite guests to the table, let's ......"
The corners of Xiao Wenjuan's mouth curled, and her smile was very charming,
"What am I talking about, Daddy rarely pays guests for dinner in person on weekdays, let's invite it!"
