Volume 1 Lonely Clouds Chapter 29 Heart to the Rose
In the Yang family's pharmacy next to the drunken flower building, the young man Shui Sheng was chatting with a servant in a soap suit.
Chen Wen took a sip of tea and asked, "Shui Sheng, you said that you have seen that Li Liu several times, but you have never seen the woman he likes?"
The young man shook his head and said, "No, it is estimated that Li Liu thinks this kind of thing is not good to see the light, every time I see him, he comes out of the alley next to him alone, and there is no one else." ”
Chen Wen smiled, "Shui Sheng, you don't use your brain to think about it? Then Li Liu is a small official who guards the gate in the east of the city, and the place where he lives is also in the poor white alley in the east of the city, if he likes a certain woman, why did he come all the way to the north of the city? Why is it the alley next to the pharmacy every time we meet? Have you thought about these questions?"
The boy scratched his head and said, "No." Chen Wen looked at him with disdain on his face.
The pharmacy guy Shui Sheng was a little injured, and after thinking about it, he felt that something was wrong, so he pursed his lips and said, "No, Brother Chen, what do I think of this, what does this have to do with me?"
Seeing his appearance, Chen Wen sighed pretendedly, and said with some hatred: "You, you, just an elm head like you are always delusional to go out to explore the rivers and lakes? If there is really that day, I am afraid that it will also be sold by someone and help others count the money, you will be honest and be a man, and when you grow up one day, you will learn the skills of Old Man Yang, inherit this pharmacy, and it is also a living person with immeasurable merits, and it is good to be safe and stable!"
The young man is a little unhappy, it has always been his dream to be a hero admired by everyone, besides, how can a teenager not look forward to the rivers and lakes?
Otherwise, why does a little boy always pestering a servant all the time, and always wants to listen to some strange things that have happened recently?
When Shui Sheng heard him say this, he thought that Brother Chen was thinking about himself, but when he thought about it carefully, he noticed some taste.
"Brother Chen, are you saying that the woman Li Liu likes is from the north of the city, and it is very likely that she lives near here?"
Chen Wen drank the tea one by one and did not answer, but he hoped that the young man would continue to think about it according to this line of thought, and see if he could come up with some clues.
Shui Sheng thought about it vigorously, and tried his best to think of those pictures that had appeared in Li Liu, but no matter how hard the young man tried, he still couldn't find the slightest trace of the woman.
The young man sighed and muttered a little dejectedly: "It seems that I am really not suitable for the rivers and lakes, alas! ”
Chen Wen put down the teacup, carefully recalled some bits and pieces in his mind, and knew that most of the useful information from the teenager could not be found.
He looked at the bibi cabinet in front of him, the horizontal and vertical staggered drawers were filled with all kinds of life-saving medicinal materials, behind the wall of the drawer was the alley adjacent to the drunken flower building, Chen Wen thought of the young man in a green shirt for no reason, at dusk that day, he was standing so cleanly on the side of the gate of the drunken flower building, and there was a little maid with a lantern standing next to him.
The round little face, looking up at people, smiling intoxicatingly, I have the impression that I have been to the Warm Fragrance Pavilion many times, and it seems that I have never seen such a smiling face.
Chen Wen's expression moved, could it be her?
The young man sighed, seeing Brother Chen next to him in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.
Shui Sheng stretched out his hand and shook it in front of him, and reminded him loudly: "Brother Chen, do you know something, deliberately taking the exam for me here?" The young man was a little embarrassed when he said this, bowed his head and blushed for the first time, and continued: "Actually, I was joking when I told you that I wanted to be a yacha in those years!"
The young man waited for a long time, but he couldn't wait for the jokes of the people next to him, he was a little puzzled, and when he looked up, Brother Chen next to him had already gotten up and gone out.
It turned out that Chen Wen was interrupted by him like this, and his thoughts disappeared in an instant, and he turned his head to slap off the claws blocking his eyes, not wanting to see a familiar figure walking by the door of the pharmacy through his fingers.
A "man" in a gray wide-sleeved robe hurriedly walked over, and at a glance, the side face with graceful eyebrows reminded him of a person.
It's a woman, and she thinks about it.
Chen Wen immediately stood up, but he didn't even look at the young man who was interrupting around him, so he walked out of the pharmacy directly.
Shui Sheng felt inexplicable, and even shouted a few times but didn't get a response, and followed out of the house to see, Brother Chen had been away for a long time, and it seemed that he was going to the east of the city, and the young man turned back to the counter stupidly, and there was still his unfinished prescription there.
After Chen Wen got out of the pharmacy, he followed the figure all the way and hung far behind, and after finally confirming the identity and whereabouts of the person, he stretched out his hand to intercept her at the alley on the side of the Fuke Building in the east of the city.
Miao Shudie was dressed in men's clothes and had a lot of worries all the way, and after taking the medicine dispensed by the nameless prescription given by the woman from Hu Shang in the Western Regions in the past, she successfully pretended to be sick and deceived Mother Hua and the medicine maid beside her, and explained to the little girl in the room, Cuiyu, she disguised herself according to the original plan, and opened the door by the dog at the back door of the drunken flower building, and successfully went out without hiding from the world.
And on the original small collapse in the Warm Fragrance Pavilion of the Drunken Flower Building, the goose-yellow elegant dress was lying quietly, and the little maid Cuiyu sat on the warm table outside with her brows tightly locked, looking at the delicate dripping on the pear flower table in front of her, while secretly paying attention to the movement at the door of the attic, while counting the broken thoughts.
The young lady had already explained before she went out, and in about half an hour or so, she should go to the Zangfeng Pavilion to get the medicine.
Earlier, when Cuiyu came back from a lost soul, Miao Shudi had already learned a lot of things from her mouth, such as she knew that the son's surname was Li, and she also knew that the son Li lived in Fukelou temporarily, and after listening to Cuiyu's choked explanation of the ins and outs, she already had her own thoughts in her heart.
Although he can't do what he calls "such as" and "Xiangjun", he thinks that compared to Shi Niang, who is angry and sinks into a treasure chest, what is money?
Miao Shudie walked out of the back door of the Zuihua Building and walked straight in the direction of the Fuke Building in the east of the city.
I didn't want to look up and see the small flag with a red corner on a blue background, a figure appeared in the alley next to me for no reason, and the person didn't speak, just stretched out his hand to signal.
Miao Shudi was shocked, and looked up to see that it was an acquaintance, a public servant wearing a soap coat.
Seeing the man looking at him, Chen Wen made a silent gesture, and then motioned for her to follow him.
Miao Shudie had doubts, although she didn't know why Chen Wen could recognize herself, but since he was a public official, the purpose of his trip was probably to deal with him in the future, and in those years, what kind of person Chen Wen was, she actually knew in her heart for a long time, after a slight moment of distraction, Miao Shudie quickly followed.
The two walked dozens of steps in the alley, and after turning a few adjacent alleys, Chen Wen stopped.
Miao Shudi also stopped, wanting to know something about Li Yunfeng from him, but she didn't know how to speak.
Chen Wen is very generous in this regard, for those bastard things back then, he always has some regrets in his heart, if he is asked to say something about this today, he may be a little embarrassed, but since he can roughly guess the mind of the woman in front of him, Chen Wen even if he has some bad feelings in his heart, but in front of the big right and wrong, he is still relatively clear.
He first turned his head to look around, and after making sure that he was relatively clean, he turned his head to look at the woman in front of him, and said unequivocally: "Miss Miao, why did you come here?"
Miao Shudi knew that he had recognized himself, and he was a little embarrassed, but he couldn't tell the purpose of his coming here, and when he was thinking about how to answer, Chen Wen said again: "Some things have happened in the city recently, and the area of Fukelou has been secretly watched, if Miss Miao has nothing important, it is better to leave." ”
Miao Shudie saw that his tone was sincere, and he was a little moved when he thought about himself in his words.
As soon as he heard that this place had been secretly watched by the Yamen, and knew that what Cuiyu said before might have been fulfilled, Li Gongzi was afraid that he had already been to the Yamen.
Just thinking about it again, I felt that something was wrong, the case of the destruction of the Tonghe Dyeing Cloth Workshop was very important, in the case that Cuiyu had not come forward, it stands to reason that Li Gongzi alone would not be able to exonerate himself, how could the yamen let him back?
If Li Gongzi has been detained for the time being, then why does the yamen still secretly send people to watch here?
I came here to make sure of this matter, could it be that Li Gongzi had not been detained by the yamen, and that there was another hidden reason for all this, perhaps because the yamen had deliberately targeted him with a trick to hide from the sky and lead the snake out of the hole? In the absence of empirical evidence, he waited for the murderer to show his feet? Or did he simply arrange another farce and set a trumped-up charge?
The heart of the daughter's family is always so inexplicable, and the more I think about it, the more outrageous it becomes.
The more Miao Shudi thought about it, the more frightened she became, and as soon as she gritted her teeth, she wanted to ask directly.
Seeing her expression like this, Chen Wen on the side already knew that most of his conjectures were not far from ten, he was just slightly revealing some of the arrangements of the yamen, and the woman opposite was already so unnatural, who was not for that person?
It seems that the scene I saw in the wine shop that day was not dazzling, but I don't know if this incident has anything to do with the woman in front of me?
