One hundred and sixty-six, a thorough decision
166、
Wen Zixiao felt warm around him, he couldn't help but open his eyes, and found himself lying in his bed, he subconsciously began to recall, he gambled with Xie Xunan for eight games last night, basically four wins and four defeats, and when they started the ninth game, Wen Zixiao couldn't remember things anymore.
Wen Zixiao turned over, he didn't care how he returned to Zhongwang's Mansion at all, he was more concerned about winning or losing the ninth game. And this is him turning over like this, as if a nice voice came from his ears: "You are awake." ”
Wen Zixiao was slightly stunned when he heard this voice, and then said, "Who won the ninth game yesterday?"
"Sure enough, he is a gambler, and he only has winning and losing. You fell asleep in the middle of the game last night, so I had to pause and send someone to send you back. Xie Xunan said softly.
"Then you're waiting for me to wake up and continue to start the ninth game?" Wen Zixiao said with his head pillow on his head, extremely leisurely.
"No, let's talk about this ninth game later. I'm afraid I'm not free today, I'm not waiting for you, I'm waiting for Grandma Wu, originally we agreed to go to Beijing together to participate in King Liang's marriage, but I didn't expect you to come back. ”
"No need, I lost the ninth game. There are only losses and wins in a game, that is, it is either won or lost. As for the bet...... When I come back from the capital, I'll ...... again," Wen Zixiao said and stopped here, he looked at the curtains and curtains and was stunned.
Xie Xunan let out a laugh: "A joke for a while, don't take it seriously." ”
Wen Zixiao was relieved when he heard her say this.
"I've never met an opponent like you, I heard your name a few days ago, and now you're really good at fighting. ”
"Don't praise me, county lord, the man at this table will not be liked. Wen Zixiao sighed and said.
"Oh, aren't you here to gamble to save those two little guys?" Xie Xunan's tone became a little playful.
"It's the same for whatever reason. ”
"Yes, you're not only not helping them, you're hurting people. They are still young and don't understand that they have to work in exchange for work, and you will only tell them that gambling will make money quickly. When you get older, you'll become a regular at the casino. ”
"It's because she's so young, what can she do? Soon, my sister may be sold to be a singer, and if she is lucky, she will be separated from her brother. What the county lord said made sense, but the county lord was born into the royal family and had never experienced poverty. Sometimes not having money can really make people cowards. ”
"I used to ......" In order to help Leng Yu'er treat tuberculosis, in order to raise money in exchange for high-grade medicinal materials, Wen Zixiao couldn't help but ask the proprietress Leng Cui for help. Two years ago, because Wen Zixiao was only thirteen years old, he looked as beautiful as his mother Wu Yue. He is good at the guqin, so under Leng Cui's concealment, he plays it for others privately. Because Wen Zixiao disguised himself as a woman, he invited him to the door a lot, and was gradually discovered by his mother Wu Yue, after knowing this, Wu Yue and Leng Cui had a big quarrel, so far these two people in Qiongyu Pavilion are like strangers, except for some arrangements about Qiongyu Pavilion, these two people don't talk about any private paintings.
After Wen Zixiao relied on the money to ask for medicine, he didn't see Leng Yu'er getting better, and then he had a new plan - a casino. As the saying goes, nine out of ten gambles lose, but if you put it on him, it is invalid...... He found that he could make easy money sitting in the casino and playing a few games, which was much easier than selling songs, so he came almost every day. Every victory also brought disaster to him, and he was usually cut off halfway back, and he had experience after a few more comes.
Wu Yue asked him to go to school earlier, but Wen Zixiao didn't want to go at all, and everyone would laugh at him when he went there, and even Mr. Teaching didn't care about him. And these days, she found that Wen Zixiao was particularly active in going to school, and when she figured out the ins and outs of the matter, it turned out that she was skipping school to play in the casino, and Wen Zixiao received a "gentle spur" from her mother.
After a few times, Wen Zixiao still did not change this bad habit, Wu Yue asked him to write a few words, Wen Zixiao couldn't write anything, and then Wu Yue didn't let him go to the academy, as if he didn't report hope, but taught him Persian, and told him not to say that he was a Han, just stay by his side to learn the piano.
If Wen Zixiao was afraid of anything, it would be because he was sick, because Chinese medicine was so bitter, he didn't want to drink a sip. Wu Yue was very disappointed in him, and blamed himself, if Wen Zixiao had been sent to Qinghui Medical Center to work as a trade union, Wen Zixiao heard that he was going to the medical hall, that place was much more boring than Qiongyu Pavilion, and there was a smell of traditional Chinese medicine, which made it uncomfortable to think about it...... He didn't want to be sent away, so he immediately promised his mother never to enter the casino again.
Now that he thinks about this matter, if he was sent to Qinghui Medical Center according to his mother, he might be able to know Nangong Yulu earlier, and he would not be happy with Leng Yu'er. Wen Zixiao actually had a trace of regret in his heart, and now he no longer felt how bitter the medicine was, and even wanted to stay in the hospital for a while.
Xie Xunan heard him say this, and she didn't reply for a while. Xie Xunan's eyes showed a look of envy, and she raised her eyes to look at the two people beside her. These two people are a man and a woman, the man has passed the age of the weak crown, his name is Qi Liuyun, he is tall, his expression is serious and he stands straight, and there is a long knife behind his waist. And the woman's age is cardamom, which is the same age as Xie Xunan, and her name is Feng Yinian. She had a delicate and clean face, a hairring pinned in the middle of her forehead over her ears, and a pair of white snakeskin gloves on her hands, with "sharp claws" on her fingertips, which were extremely sharp nails, in stark contrast to her gentle and quiet image. The two of them are Xie Xunan's extremely powerful assistants, because Xie Xunan does not know martial arts, so they also have the identity of guards and maids, often accompanying Xie Xunan, and are known as "Chi Feng Liunian".
"Did she know about this, what did you want her?" Xie Xunan thought for a while before speaking.
"She probably knows, but I don't know what ...... picture."
Xie Xunan laughed softly: "It's really enviable, if someone treats me like this." ”
"The county lord is laughing again......"
"They just need my status, men are only crazy about two things, one is fame and fortune, and the other is love. Xie Xunan interrupted his kind words: "As for sincerity, I'm afraid there is no one in this world except my father." ”
Wen Zixiao sat up, he didn't speak.
"Did you suddenly appear in my casino last night because of 'love'?" Xie Xunan asked, she didn't actually care about Wen Zixiao's affair, and she wanted to know why Wen Zixiao had happened on Wujie Mountain. Small things can lead to big events, and she doesn't want to miss one.
"Why don't you think I'm because of fame and fortune?" Wen Zixiao seemed to notice something, this county lord went around such a big circle to listen to his own thoughts? No, I'm afraid there are other things in this.
"Do you know why everyone calls you 'Shizi'?" Xie Xunan actually asked him a question, Wen Zixiao had not only canonized his mother as the concubine since the last time he met the emperor with his father, King Wen Shiyuan, but also named him "Shizi". And when he returned home, he met Han Zhen who came from Yuzhou. recalled the last time she knew about it, and then jumped into the well with Wen Zitong. He was very curious when he said this, seeing that the eldest lady Han Zhen reacted so strongly, was it because of this title.
"You will inherit your father's loyalty. If there is no you, the position of the son of this world should be Wen Zitong, the eldest son of Princess Han Zhen. You already have fame and fortune, and you don't have to worry about money as much as you used to, and love will be the cause of your troubles, isn't it?"
Wen Zixiao was a little surprised, and then he said: "Do you think a person like me is worthy?"
"No one else can give you an answer to this question, and if you draw a circle around your waist, then you can't walk out. Moreover, it is up to you to decide what you want to become. ”
Wen Zixiao saw that she didn't seem to be a bad person, thought about it for a while, and immediately got up and changed her clothes, but found that there was no one in the house, so how did she hear her voice?
"I'm in the hall, and you can hear me because I put a Gu worm in your ear. ”
"You...... Can you use Gu?"
"Of course, my master is the most powerful witch doctor in Miao Jiang. ”
Witch doctor?Wen Zixiao hurriedly washed up and strode to the hall. There was no drizzle on the unexpected side. As soon as he raised his eyes, he saw Xie Xunan, who was holding the scroll and reading it seriously, while there were two people guarding her. Wen Zixiao raised his eyes and observed Qi Liuyun and Feng Yinian, these two people had not seen them yesterday, so they were quite interested.
When Xie Xunan saw him enter the house, she immediately put down the book in her hand, and she had to help Feng Yinian to stand up: "Wen Shizi, you are here, I am Xie Chuwen, the third daughter of Xie Yilan, the king of Shu in the northwest, and the lord of Yuxian County. These two are my attendants, Qi Liuyun and Feng Yinian. This time, I sent a congratulatory gift to my cousin on behalf of my father, so we can ...... together."
At this time, a servant ran outside the door, and Xie Xunan stopped what he said after seeing it. I saw the servant call Wen Zixiao out. I didn't enter the house again for a long time.
"County Lord, have you gotten any news?" Qi Liuyun leaned over and said beside Xie Xunan.
"Not yet. Xie Xunan whispered: "Maybe it's because of the strong sense of vigilance." ”
"Or we'll ......"
"No, you can't. He is different from ordinary people. ”
Xie Xunan stopped Qi Liuyun's plan and just waited for Wen Zixiao in the house.
Wen Zixiao stood in the seemingly non-existent rain, he thought that Yazhi had come to him with a change of heart, but he didn't expect that it was Lin Yu and Leng Yu'er. Since Yazhi's victory over Lu Huan, this Lin Yu has become his fan brother. Hearing that Yazhi was going to deliver something to Wen Zixiao, it was left behind before he left, so Lin Yu immediately helped him run errands. And Leng Yu'er knew that it was something that Wen Zixiao wanted, and she still had something to say to Wen Zixiao in her heart.
Wen Zixiao was holding a delicate box in his hand, he opened a corner slightly, saw the camellia inside, and immediately closed the box: "Little junior brother, Yazhi, did he say anything?"
"Ah, no. He just said it was something you forgot to pick up when you went down the mountain last night. Lin Yu replied honestly: "I saw the carriage outside the door, are you going somewhere?" ”
"Well, I'm going to the capital for a few days, and I'll be back in a few days. These days, Yazhi pleases you. Wen Zixiao touched Lin Yu's head: "Go back quickly, wait until the master can't find anyone." ”
"Okay, and Sister Yu'er wants to talk to you, you wait......" Lin Yu immediately ran into the carriage, and then a girl stepped out of the carriage.
Wen Zixiao really didn't want to see her, so he immediately turned around and was about to leave, Leng Yu'er hurriedly stopped him, and ran in front of him to block his way.
It seems that the rain is getting heavier and heavier, Leng Yu'er is holding an umbrella and wants to cover Wen Zixiao from the rain, but Wen Zixiao is not standing under her umbrella, and the two of them are at an impasse. When Wen Zixiao took a step back, another umbrella covered him above his head, and then Xie Xunan's gentle voice came: "Xiaoxiao, why don't you use the umbrella? ”
Wen Zixiao was shocked, the title "Xiaoxiao" was Nangong Yulu's special name for him. He turned to look at Xie Xunan, she took out a handkerchief and gently rubbed the raindrops on Wen Zixiao's face, ignoring Leng Yu'er in front of her at all.
"Okay, let's go now. Your legs are inconvenient, why don't you ask the two of you to help me hand me the umbrella? You hold this brocade box, be careful, this is my beloved thing. Wen Zixiao said that, hugged Xie Xunan horizontally, and he ignored Leng Yu'er and walked directly past her.
Only Leng Yu'er was left in the rain, she saw Wen Zixiao's attitude, the first time, Wen Zixiao treated a girl like this for the first time, according to the usual times, he would give people steps, but now it is really embarrassing, I am afraid that I will not be able to go back to the past.
Xie Xunan held the brocade box and held an umbrella, shrunk in Wen Zixiao's arms, and said a little playfully: "I didn't expect you to be quite smart." ”
"Thank you...... Help me out......"
"Oh, that's her, so that......'s the girl?"
"This voice of yours is very similar to Senior Brother Yun Xi, I see that you have a string of yellow tiger eye prayer beads that are exactly the same as him in your hand, are you deliberately imitating him?"
"No comment. But look at this bracelet. Xie Xunan carried a silver bracelet on his hand holding the umbrella, and the bracelet was not wide, and there were four small bells hanging on it, which kept making a slight noise.
Wen Zixiao walked into the house before putting her down, and then Xie Xunan said a sentence: "When I was a child, I broke my leg, and it hurt when it was cloudy, and my father went to the northwest to find a witch doctor to treat the disease." Later, we fell in love, and he became my master. I don't know kung fu, it's something that everyone knows. But almost no one knows about my Gu skills, and this bell was left to me by my master, and I can detect Gu, so that girl made all four of my bells ring. It seems that she has a big Gu worm in her body. ”
Wen Zixiao thought about it for a while, and when he heard Xie Xunan say this, he could identify it, and said slowly: "If you don't guess wrong, she has the Yongling Gu worm in her body." ”
Xie Xunan heard the words "Yongling Gu Worm" and showed a shocked look. She remembered that she received a letter from Xie Yunxi after Qixi Festival, asking her for help, which seemed to be indeed an important matter.
