Zhang Qifeng opened her eyes, she had been groggy before this, she thought she was dead in her sleep, she wanted to die since the accident, and she had died several times, all of which were found and rescued by her family, was she really dead this time? However, the pain in her neck made her realize that she was still alive and sleeping in a very comfortable bed. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Are you awake?" asked someone in the shadows of the room.
Zhang Qifeng was taken aback, she didn't expect that there were still others in the house. The man came out of the shadows, dressed in black, in his forties, with a cold face and no expression.
"Yes...... Did you save me?" asked Zhang Qifeng softly.
"Tell me everything about the matter between you and He Zheng. The man said coldly.
"I don't want to say a word about this person. Zhang Qifeng gritted his teeth and said.
The man suddenly pulled out his sword and stabbed Zhang Qifeng in the chest, and Zhang Qifeng screamed in pain.
"I'm just stabbing you lightly, you can't die yet! Listen to me, speak now, not a word can be wrong. ”
Zhang Qifeng's chest hurt sharply, she originally thought that this person was kind enough to save herself, but now she completely understands that she escaped from the tiger's mouth and entered the wolf's den.
"If I say it, will you let me go?" Zhang Qifeng was already crying without tears.
"Let you go? How could I let you go? Wouldn't it be a pity to let you go with such a flowery appearance as yours?" the man said coldly.
"Why are you willing to let me go?" Zhang Qifeng asked in a trembling voice.
"From today on, you will live a good life with fine clothes and food, no one dares to bully you, and no one will abandon you, but you must do everything with my permission, you will do whatever I want you to do, do you hear?"
"Yes......"
"Give me a louder answer, did you hear me?" he shouted.
"Yes, yes!" Zhang Qifeng hurriedly replied in a loud voice.
After Zhang Qifeng finished telling the whole story, the man pulled the sword away from her chest: "The doctor is outside the door, he will come in in a while to treat you, Miss Zhang Qifeng, you can always surprise me...... From today on, the name Zhang Qifeng is no longer yours, I will think about it and give you a better name. ”
After the man turned around and walked out, Zhang Qifeng's eyes were blank, her face was like ashes, the experience of these two months made her survive and not be able to die, she didn't know what she was involved in, she only knew one thing, that is, from today on, her body and mind will never be free again, the original free life by her parents' side, the original brocade clothes and jade food, carefree, Chenghuan parents' knees of the good times, can only exist in the depths of their own memory......
Time flies, more than three months have passed in a blink of an eye, after Fan Yuncheng stayed overnight in the state capital, there were many good people who began to talk behind his back, and over time, the people in the state capital were also accustomed to it, and they didn't think it was a big deal. Fan Yuncheng was so happy, he went home every day to visit his parents, and he would rush back to the mansion after asking for peace, when he first went to see his father, Fan Zhen was still so angry that his nose was not a nose, and his face was not a face, and after a long time, Fan Zhen didn't bother to talk about him anymore. He was just a little glad that he didn't know who interceded for him to escape this great disaster. And Zhang Qifeng, who was almost strangled to death by him on the wedding night, has never seen it himself, but the subordinates often tell him about the young lady, but the young lady in the eyes of the subordinates is completely different from the Zhang Qifeng he knows. Fan Yuncheng heard it every time, but he just passed by and didn't think about it.
Recently, the treasurer Li Da told him about an incident that made him a little annoyed. Li Da said that when he inspected the silver vault recently, he found something unusual in the silver ingots, because the treasurer saw some white silver taels every day, and he always felt a little unusual, and he couldn't say why, but his heart was faintly uneasy, so he made it clear to Fan Yuncheng.
Fan Yuncheng got the permission of the prefect Zhu Muzhi and came to the treasurer with Li Da for inspection.
"Lord Fan, please see, there are two ingots of silver here, and the appearance is exactly the same, no matter the size, weight, there is no difference from before, but Li has been looking at it for more than ten years, and he feels a little strange, and the color is slightly different. Adults, please take a look. ”
Li Da took the two ingots and put them in his hand and pointed them out to Fan Yuncheng. Fan Yuncheng looked at these two ingots carefully, and he was also puzzled.
"How do you know if there's a fake?" he asked, frowning.
This is also what the villain is puzzled about, can you clamp the silver two, you can know if there is a ghost inside. ”
"But if you can't find out, and you destroy the treasury, it's a great sin. Fan Yuncheng shook his head, "No, you have to be cautious in this matter." ”
"Li's matter depends on adults. Li Dachang said.
Fan Yuncheng rummaged through the books left by his uncle Fan Yun to find a way to crack it, but unfortunately he never found it. This uncle Fan Yun passed away early, he only saw his uncle when he was a child, and he told his uncle how erudite his uncle was, and how the emperor admired his uncle today, these things were told to him by his father. This uncle of his own, when he was young, liked to read, made friends with celebrities from all walks of life, and the books in the family can be said to cover all the strange books and anecdotes in the world today.
He saw the sourness in his eyes, and then he noticed that it was getting dusk, and he got up and walked slowly to the back door of the state house, where he often walked, because he often had nowhere to go after his business, so he walked here as a pastime. Today, because of the silver ingot, he was upset, so he buried his head and walked a little longer, and half a mile away was his mansion, but he was too lazy to go back. He didn't know what he was going to do, but as he passed by a field, he noticed some strange plants growing in the middle of the field, some of which were tall and had lilac or yellow flowers on them. He wondered how often he walked here, and he didn't notice that there were people planting flowers here. He walked slowly to the field, carefully examining the flowering plants.
Those purple or yellow flowers were so beautiful that he couldn't help but reach out and touch them. At this time, someone shouted: "Don't move, don't move, this flower is poisonous!"
Fan Yuncheng turned back in surprise, and it was an old farmer standing with a hoe that was sorting out the crops behind him.
"Oh, old man, I don't know what kind of flower this is? Xiaosheng often comes here to walk around, and it is the first time he has encountered such a beautiful flower. Fan Yuncheng asked curiously.
"It's the first time I've seen it, but the person who planted the flower said that the flower was poisonous, and told the villain not to let the living get close, and if he picks it by mistake, it will kill him. The old farmer dusted off his clothes and walked slowly in front of him.
"The person who planted this flower is also kind-hearted, can the old man know who this person is?" Fan Yuncheng didn't know why, he had an excellent impression of the person with this flower.
"Huh...... Childe has just been here. The old farmer asked with a smile.
“...... Yes, I just arrived. Fan Yuncheng had to follow his words and pretend to be confused.
"This flower was planted here by someone else about two months ago, and the person who planted the flower said that the climate of this place is suitable for the growth of this flower, so it was planted here. ”
"Can you know ...... this person" Fan Yuncheng frowned and asked, he was basically familiar with this Qiaozhou, but he didn't know who planted this strange flower here.
"The man would come early every morning to water the flowers, and since Childe often passed by here, he could come here early tomorrow morning, or he might meet him. ”
"That's fine. Fan Yuncheng smiled and shook his head, he just likes to enjoy flowers, as for the person who has that kind of flower, it has nothing to do with him, and he doesn't have to see this person.
For several days after that, Fan Yuncheng's thoughts were on the flaws in the silver ingots, and he gradually forgot the strange flowers on the edge of the back garden.
After learning of the consent of the lord of the mansion, he re-entered the treasury to test the silver taels, but he did not know how to identify them, so he left the mansion in a daze. Stepping back on the back door of the state capital, he walked along the path, and suddenly remembered what the old farmer had said a few days ago, and he could meet the flower planter when he went there early in the morning. But it was already early in the morning, and the man who had the flower must have left.
He slowly paced to the place where two buckets were placed, and a woman was holding a ladle of water and slowly watering it. She was dressed plainly, dressed as a young woman, without too many hair ornaments on her head, and an ordinary hairpin was inserted between her black and thick hair, which had a different taste...... Fan Yuncheng looked at her back, his brows furrowed slightly, could it be that she is the one who planted flowers.
She hesitated slightly, as if she heard something, and turned around. Fan Yuncheng looked at her face in a daze, it was a completely unfamiliar face, the woman was eighteen or nineteen years old, with delicate facial features, fair skin, and a pair of eyes that were exceptionally clear, what was rare was that her delicate and gentle face had a calm look, she was originally in a very irritable mood, but seeing her expression, a sense of peace slowly entered her heart.
"You, the one who planted flowers?" asked Fan Yuncheng slowly.
"Childe is the one who appreciates the flowers?" the woman smiled, "The old man told the little girl that Childe might come here to see the flowers." It's just that I don't know that Childe will come today, this flower can be seen and not picked, Childe can get closer and appreciate it carefully. ”
Fan Yuncheng slowly approached her, and for some reason his heart was beating violently. He stopped three or four feet away from the flower. He looked at the woman who was getting closer and closer to him, and for some reason his heart was beating wildly, as if it was about to jump out.
"Childe can come closer. The woman dodged out of the way, signaling that he could approach.
"Xiaosheng has never seen this flower, can you tell me a thing or two. Fan Yuncheng felt that his voice trembled a little.
"This flower is called goldenrod, and the leaves, flowers, and fruits are all very poisonous. The woman replied lightly.
"Isn't that ......" Fan Yuncheng suddenly thought of something.
"Also known as a mandala. The woman lowered her eyes and replied softly.
"Could it be that you understand pharmacology?" Fan Yuncheng raised his head in surprise and asked.
"My father was a man before his death, and he taught his little girl to know some medicinal herbs. The woman bowed her head and said.
"Oh, I see. Fan Yuncheng smiled with relief, "Xiao Sheng admires and admires." ”
"Dare to ask Childe's name?" the woman suddenly raised her head and asked him.
“...... In the next, the surname Cheng. Fan Yuncheng suddenly remembered his identity, for the first time in his life he felt scared in front of a strange woman, he remembered his crazy actions on the wedding night, and it was rumored in Qiaozhou City at the beginning, if the woman in front of him heard about his bad deeds, would he immediately turn around and leave?
"Little girl Lingxiao. The woman whispered.
"Ling Xiao?" Fan Yuncheng muttered.
"Lingxiao flower cools blood, dispels stasis, dispels wind, and is also a medicinal material. Ling Xiao replied with a smile.
Fan Yuncheng raised his eyebrows, looking at the mysterious woman in front of him with a little surprise, her flower-like smile was blooming on her face at this time, Fan Yuncheng's eyes were a little blurry, he didn't know why he always looked flustered in front of her, why he couldn't take his eyes off her face at this time, what she brought to him in front of him was a new feeling, that beautiful and refined face, unfazed expression and clear gaze, all made him look in a trance and difficult to hold himself. Ling Xiao originally looked directly at him, but when he saw him staring at himself stupidly, his face was slightly red, and he didn't know what to say to him, so he lowered his head again. Fan Yuncheng saw that he was getting closer and closer to her, and the sleeves of his shirt that rose in the wind almost touched her.
"Rude and rude!" Fan Yuncheng hurriedly took a step back, not wanting the field stalk to be narrow, he stepped into the air and fell to the side.
Ling Xiao hurriedly held him steady before he fell, and let go of his arm after he barely stood still. She hesitated for a moment, then began to clean up the ladle that had fallen on the floor and put it in the bucket. Hooked the two empty buckets with a flat pole, nodded slightly to Fan Yuncheng, turned around and picked up the burden and left.
"Ling ......" Fan Yuncheng wanted to stop her, but he didn't know what to do for a while. He didn't know why he didn't want her to leave, and there was a feeling in his chest that he had never experienced before, and let him follow her.
Ling Xiao felt that he was following him and stopped. She turned around and saw Fan Yuncheng's face flushed, as if she had something to say.
"What else is wrong with Cheng Gongzi?" Ling Xiao lowered her sleeves, she didn't want Fan Yuncheng to see her slightly trembling hands.
“...... Ling Xiao, you are erudite and talented, and I admire you very much. It's just that there is one more difficult thing I want to ask for advice. Fan Yuncheng said sincerely.
"What does Childe want to ask?" Ling Xiao said softly, she could have stopped saying a word and turned to leave, but for some reason, deep down she didn't want to refuse this Cheng Gongzi.
"On an errand in the prefect's office, I recently encountered a strange thing...... Fan Yuncheng didn't know how to speak for a while, he was a little annoyed with his current self, why did he talk about the difficult things in his heart to a woman he met for the first time, but now he really wants her to leave him later, he just wants to look at her more......
"The prefect, Gongzi is from the government?" Ling Xiao asked him in surprise.
