Volume 2 The Turbulent Darkness Rises and the Turmoil is Unsettled Chapter 176 In broad daylight
Jiang Li's heart seemed to have a broken string, only to feel a buzzing in his ears, these days, he completely forgot the difference between himself and Luo Kui's identity, hostility is a matter of time, and there was a delusion in his heart that should not be there, he nodded silently, and replied with the same lip language: "It's all up to you." ”
Jun Weirui's hand holding the bun trembled slightly, although she didn't hear what the two were saying, but obviously the tacit understanding between the two was beyond her reach, she took the bun, and she was embarrassed not to eat it.
It wasn't until the bun ran out of heat and was so cold that she couldn't swallow it that she came back to her senses and handed it to Jiang Li with her backhand, her voice was calm, but it seemed to be angry: "You eat it." ”
Jiang Li was slightly stunned, but didn't ask why, just took the bun and ate it quickly.
Jun Weirui turned her head, lifted the corner of the curtain, looked out of the car with stubborn eyes, and the hot air flew out of the window with a whirl, condensing into a faint hoarfrost outside, which did not disperse for a long time, just like her heart, although it was a little cold, but she refused to admit defeat easily.
There are four horizontal and eight vertical twelve main streets in Yangzhou city, four horizontal are four main streets in the east-west direction, the shops on the street are lined up, and the eight vertical streets are eight streets in the north-south direction, all are residential houses, most of them are wealthy families.
These 12 main streets are arranged like a chessboard, and the closer to the middle of the city, the more dignitaries and dignitaries, as for the rest of the alleys and alleys and canals, they are densely packed, like cobwebs, and these 12 main streets together outline the prosperity and bleakness of Yangzhou City.
Although Junfu is also a well-known big family in Yangzhou City, the past dynasties practiced medicine and medicine to accumulate virtue and do good, and it is also widely famous in the rivers and lakes, but in the end, it is a businessman, and the house can only succumb to the Ersheng Street, which is two of the eight verticals, and is close to the Yixin Street where the dignitaries and dignitaries gather in the city, and occupies the best and largest piece of land on the Ersheng Street.
In winter, the outer courtyard of the Junfu is particularly sparse, although the tall and straight sycamore is dry and leafy, without a trace of green, but a few vigorous old plum blossoms near the water are in full bloom, the dark brown branches are treacherously circling, the plain white flowers are embellished on the top, like a little white snow, the cold wind passes through the branches, and the cold fragrance is endless.
In this outer courtyard, the most conspicuous place is Qihuang Hall, this hall is extremely spacious, located in the middle of the outer courtyard, there are twelve Xuan windows, the window paste is not the ordinary window paper, but inlaid with ice pattern glass, not only sound insulation and cold, the slightest wind can not leak into the hall, it is also very durable, the sun shines on the head, it is as crystal clear as the ice, reflecting the brilliant light.
At this moment, the twelve windows of Qihuang Hall were all closed, and light smoke curled on the incense table under the portrait of the medicine king. Jun Qianzi sat next to the incense case, while Jiang Li and Luo Kui sat at the bottom, and as for Jun Weirui, according to the rules, she returned to the boudoir in the inner courtyard early.
The little maids poured tea for the two, served melons and fruit snacks, and then bowed down and retreated, going in and out quietly, without a sound.
Only the charcoal in a few charcoal basins burned red, and sometimes the sparks burst and crackled, which smoked the empty hall into warmth.
Jun Qianzi held the white porcelain bowl with the fetus, drank a cup of tea, and said calmly: "Now that I have arrived in Yangzhou City, I don't know how Li Gongzi and the water girl plan." ”
Jiang Li glanced at the sleepy Luo Kui in the chair, lowered his head and gently blew the verdant leaves in the cup, and said softly without thinking: "In this situation, we plan to go directly to the Danxia Flower Forest to find the Holy Hand Skullcap." He put down the cup, arched his hand at Jun Qianzi, and said apologetically: "Don't bother Master Jun too much, as for the appointment with Miss Jun, when the two of us return from injury, we will definitely fulfill the contract." ”
Jun Qianzi waved his hand, and said with a disapproving smile: "The little girl joked, Li Gongzi doesn't have to take it seriously, but the Danxia Flower Forest is six hundred miles south of Yangzhou City, and the water girl is now seriously injured, I'm afraid that she can't ride a horse, the old man will prepare a carriage for the two, and then send the old coachman who is familiar with the road to send the two over." ”
Jiang Li was overjoyed, and hurriedly saluted again and thanked him: "In this way, thank you Master Jun." ”
Jun Qianzi laughed more and more, and waved his hand again and again: "Li Gongzi doesn't have to be so polite, you and my Jun Mansion have people who save lives and rebuild, and the old man's efforts are not enough to worry about." ”
He waved his hand, and several maids stepped forward with trays of black lacquer flowers.
Jun Qianzi came one by one: "The old man saw that the clothes of the two were worn, so he looked for a few warm clothes, and went to the Danxia Flower Forest, no matter how fast the foot was, it would be delayed for two or three days, and the old man prepared some silver taels for the two in case of emergency. ”
Without waiting for Jiang Li to refuse, Jun Qianzi continued: "Li Gongzi must not refuse, these little intentions will be difficult to repay Li Gongzi's life-saving grace." ”
Jiang Li was very moved, and gave a deep salute to Jun Qianzi, and said loudly: "Thank you Master Jun for the gift, I am grateful, he will be grateful again when he turns around." ”
The sun is getting higher, the rare early sun shines in winter, the snow reflects the brilliant silver light, the blue sky is clear, and the morning air has the fragrance of distant plums, which is clear and fragrant.
There was already a coachman waiting at the gate of the king's mansion with a carriage, although the carriage was just an ordinary gray shed, but the horses were strong and good horses, and the coachman who drove the carriage wore a hat and a coat, and he couldn't see his appearance and body clearly.
Jiang Li and Luo Kui got into the carriage and saluted and thanked Jun Qianzi.
The driver then let out a soft snort, and the wheels ran over the thin ice and creaked forward.
The carriage was wrapped tightly with oiled paper on all sides, and not a trace of wind could be exposed, and the car was padded with thick gold wire cushions, and the teapots and cups on the ebony table were complete, the celadon incense burner was smoky, and the hanging stove under his feet was boiling hot water, and the heat was swirling, but he didn't feel how cold it was.
Jiang Li burned a small copper multicolored hand stove and stuffed it into Luo Kui's hand, and said with emotion: "This old man is really meticulous, and even these objects have been prepared." ”
Luo Kui stopped for a while, and finally relieved himself, so he put the hand stove under Jiang Li's nose.
Jiang Li raised his eyes and looked at him with some confusion.
Luo Kui tugged at the corners of her lips, revealing a pale and weak smile, and said weakly: "You smell it." ”
"Smell something. Jiang Li frowned, wrinkled the tip of his nose vigorously, and a vague fragrance of fat powder lingered under his nose.
"Xiangme" Luo Kui smiled weakly.
Jiang Li nodded, still a little confused.
Luo Kui glanced at him and continued to chuckle: "Look at these things, which ones are used by men, they are all used by girls, these are clearly prepared by Miss Jun, she is the one who is as careful as a hair." ”
Jiang Li was slightly stunned, but changed her head: "Little demon girl, that day, the two people in the City God Temple, you, you." He wanted to speak and stopped, wanted to ask, but he was afraid to reveal people's scars.
Luo Kui smiled abruptly, and her voice gradually lowered: "You, what do you want to know." ”
Jiang Li hesitated: "I want to know." ”
Luo Kui sighed, for some reason, the road was bumpy, she rarely thought of those two people, she thought she could not care, but now when she mentioned it, her heart was still depressed and indescribable, she raised her eyes to Jiang Li's Danfeng eyes, she suddenly wanted to say a happy word to the person in front of her, she drank a cup of tea with Jiang Li's hand, and said calmly: "That man's name is Jingmo, and he has set a marriage date with me, and the woman's name is Qu Lian, which can be regarded as a former best friend." ”
Jiang Li suddenly squirted out of the tea, sprayed it on the car curtain, and the dark flowers bloomed, and he choked up: "Engaged, not yet married, he, isn't he afraid that you will regret your marriage." ”
Luo Kui sneered: "Repentance of marriage, this world has always been unfair to women, regret marriage, shame me, spurned by others, he, can still be his loose uncle in peace and stability, enjoy the blessings of his people, in this world, how can there be such an easy thing, I don't want him to get his wish, and he can't die happily." ”
Jiang Li tilted her head and looked at her fixedly, although she was weak at this time, her expression was both insidious and vicious, and she cut people's hearts like a knife when she spoke, and she was the demon girl in the world's mouth who everyone was punished for, but even so, he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it, this world should be like this, it should be repaid with virtue, and it should be repaid with virtue to show fairness. He bowed his head slightly and said, "If you have a place to find me, you can just speak." ”
Luo Kui shook his head and smiled: "Fighting and slashing people, you are a good hand, as for the scheming yin people behind this, I will come." ”
