Chapter 173: Handmaid
appeased the junior sister and relieved Huang Rongrong, the next trip of the group was much better than at the beginning, at least Huang Rongrong was no longer sad all the time, and Ning Ruxue was also willing to talk to Ye Wen.
It's just that what Ye Wen didn't expect was that he waited for the group to arrive in the capital, and before he took the initiative to find the people from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, he was stopped by this group of people at the gate of the city.
This is not a strange thing, in the Gyeonggi Strongland, how can Ye Wen, a guy with a sword and a sword, be allowed to enter at will? Even if Xu Xian showed his pamphlet and indicated that he was here to take the exam.
In the end, Ye Wen took out the small card that Tianyi Zhenren gave him, and when the people from the Five Cities Terracotta Division saw this small card, they immediately turned around and called a young man who was about twenty years old, and then handed him the sign.
"I don't know what to call him?"
"In Xiashu Mountain, Ye Wen is sent, this is my junior brother Xu Xian, this time it was because my junior brother went to Beijing to take the exam, so we came together!" Ye Wen then introduced the people on his side, and at the same time said his intention to wait for others to enter Beijing.
The young man on the other side nodded casually, then carefully looked at the small sign in his hand, and finally said with a smile: "I think you have just come from the martial arts conference!"
"Exactly!"
It turned out that Ye Wen and his party walked through the woods, rushing all the way, and they were a few points faster than those who left first, so they all arrived in the capital, and all the things in the martial arts conference had not yet been reported.
In addition, the reputation of the Shushan faction was not obvious before, and the reputation of the martial arts conference was not spread, so it was very strange for this disciple of the Heavenly Dao Sect to hold the token of this sect for a sect that he had never heard of at all.
"I don't know why the real person in charge of the sect gave this token to the head of the Shushan faction!" "I think it's because the real person in charge of the sect saw that Xu Xianwen was very good, so he started to make friends!"
Thinking like this in his heart, he decided that this Shushan faction was not very unusual, but it was just because there was a talented person in the faction, which was surprising. A martial arts sect has produced a talented person who can participate in the palace examination, which will indeed make people curious (this time there is only the palace examination left, and this year's examination has ended).
"Everyone, please come with me! It's just that your faction wants to enter the capital, so you have to go through a little formalities. After speaking, he explained to Ye Wen: "If any martial arts person wants to enter the capital, he will have to trouble this time, so don't blame Ye Zhangmen!"
Ye Wenwen didn't care much about it, but he saw that the disciples of the Heavenly Dao Sect introduced themselves at the beginning, and then spoke with a businesslike attitude, and the small sign in his hand had no intention of returning it, so he understood that this young man looked down on people, and it was estimated that he concluded that the Shushan Sect was not a big faction, but only got a friendship with Tianyi Zhenren after being exposed to the light of the temple test, and then got this token wooden card.
This young man thought that his real person was just a rise to hand over the wooden card to the head of the Shushan faction, and then took it to the capital, so as not to be able to enter the city gate because of the identity of martial arts people, and he couldn't catch up with the exam - it was said that the martial arts people who wanted to enter the city had to go through some procedures, but many people were not allowed to enter the capital at all, and a few people with high skills might be able to get in, but it was not a simple matter to walk in with a sword and a sword on such a bright face.
"I want to come to this brand to do this, and after using it, I will take it back!"
I have to say that sometimes smart people are always too smart, and the same is true of this disciple of the Heavenly Dao Sect. He acted like this, only saying that his brain was too smart, thinking so much, and comprehending all the intentions of the real person in charge, but he didn't want to offend the Shushan faction because of this.
Or in his eyes, if you offend, you will be offended, anyway, it is just a small sect that he has never heard of, what if he is offended?
Ye Wen could guess these thoughts, but when he saw that the young man looked complacent, he didn't bother to say more to him, so he simply went through the formalities, and then politely thanked him, and led his disciples into the city.
"Senior brother, that ......" Ning Ruxue originally saw Ye Wen enter with a smile, and then although she came out with a smile, there was a hint of anger in that smile. Ordinary people can't see it, she and Ye Wen have been together the longest, so they can naturally see it at a glance, and they don't know why Ye Wen looks like this, so they asked.
Ye Wen waved his hand, and then took a long breath: "It's nothing!"
But these people are respectful to their Shushan faction, but they are a little uncomfortable with the feeling of being looked down upon like this. Today, this incident made him learn a lesson, and said secretly: "Today, I understand that my Shushan faction is still not strong enough, and my reputation is still far from enough!"
"A junior disciple who was thrown outside by the Heavenly Dao Sect can give the Shushan Sect a face, proving that I am still not good enough!
After entering the capital, everyone looked for a few inns to find a suitable place, in addition to the fact that there are a lot of floating people in the capital, and because the palace test is coming, it has attracted a lot of miscellaneous people.
There were literati from all over the world who came to see the bustle, there were also some hawkers who took the opportunity to resell some things, and some unsightly guys poured into the capital. said that he couldn't see the table, but in fact, some high-ranking officials and princes outside came to see if there were any talents worth wooing, and then strengthen their own power.
It's not necessarily that you want to divide one side, but it can attract more talents, and it can also make its energy in this court stronger.
Xu Xian didn't come until this time, in fact, there was a lot less trouble, otherwise in his name, I don't know how many 'visitors' he would provoke.
It's just that it's late, but things are more and more tight, and as soon as Xu Xian arranged a residence, he hurriedly went out to buy some gifts so that he could visit his 'teacher'.
said that he was a teacher, but he was the examiner at the beginning, because he had passed the examination in his hands, and he belonged to the teacher in the traditional habit, and he would inevitably be labeled as this in the officialdom in the future.
Ye Wen only knew part of these rules, and when he saw Xu Xian's busy group, he couldn't help muttering: "Don't you want to be admitted?
Generally speaking, it is the literati who want to make a difference in the officialdom who will value these etiquettes so much, because if they accidentally annoy someone, then it will be difficult to move an inch in the officialdom in the future - these people who can get the position of invigilator are not ordinary people, if they don't have enough energy in the court, how can they mix with such a fat difference?
Xu Xian bought some gifts and was sorting them out, when he heard Ye Wen's words, he suddenly came to his senses: "Yes, I was originally here to deal with errands, what are you doing so tightly?" After speaking, he turned his head and said to Huang Rongrong, who was helping him clean up: "Rongrong, don't be busy, I'll take you out to the capital, and then come back to have a good rest!"
"Aren't you going to visit your teacher?" Huang Rongrong was holding a box of ginseng in her hand, and was about to hand it to Xu Xian, when she suddenly heard this, she couldn't help but ask curiously.
"No, it's okay to visit whenever you want, let's go!" After speaking, he threw away the ginseng casually, and dragged Huang Rongrong and disappeared.
The box of ginseng was thrown aside, and the lid was directly opened under a knock, and a small ginseng jumped out directly, Ye Wen grabbed it casually, and it happened to be in his hand.
"Oops, the weight is not light!"
casually shouted, called Xiao Er over, and then handed the ginseng over: "Stew me a pot of ginseng chicken soup, then serve it with two or three side dishes, and bring a small jar of wine!"
I finally arrived in the capital, and I was able to rest. As for this ginseng - Ming said that he would buy another one for Xu Xian, anyway, this is the capital, and this kind of thing is not unusual.
After Xiao Er brought the stewed chicken soup into Ye Wen's room, accompanied by exquisite dishes of two vegetables and one meat, and finally served a small jar of wine, Ye Wen only smelled the aroma and praised: "It is worthy of being an inn in the capital, even such an inconspicuous small shop can make such exquisite dishes!"
The cement seal of the wine is opened, although it is not a top wine, but it is much stronger than the bad wine in some small counties. And Ye Wen, who has lived in Shushan County for many years, drinks the most is really ordinary bad wine.
"Enjoy!" Ye Wen tasted it first, and then praised: "But it's really expensive!"
Just sighing, Ning Ruxue pushed the door and walked in, and saw Ye Wen who was drinking at a glance: "Senior brother called me over for what to do?"
Shicai Ye Wen instructed Xiao Er to stew chicken soup, and by the way, he also called Ning Ruxue, and asked her to come over but didn't say what to do, so Ning Ruxue would ask questions when she came over.
It's just that as soon as he saw the table of dishes and the bowl of chopsticks in Ye Wenfang, he knew that this senior brother was calling him to eat: "Do you want to call Senior Brother Xu?"
"Senior Brother Xu took Huang Rongrong to visit the capital!"
"Oh!" Ning Ruxue sat down, and then Hua Yi also walked in, looked at the two people in the room, and said, "The little girl should leave!" But she came to find Ye Wen, not wanting to bump into such a scene, so she turned around and was about to leave.
I didn't want Ye Wen to speak directly: "It's okay to come, I'll call you again, you haven't eaten yet, right?"
Hua Yi looked at Ye Wen, then at Ning Ruxue, and finally sat down at the table, but there was a little curiosity in his eyes, and he didn't know what Ye Wen said he was looking for.
Ye Wen looked left, then right, and first scooped a bowl of ginseng and chicken soup for Ning Ruxue and Hua Yi, and then said: "I have been sleeping in the open for the past few days, and it can be regarded as suffering for the two of you, and the junior brother bought this ginseng, just to make up for the two of you!"
first said to the junior sister: "Let's drink the soup first, if it's not cold, it won't taste good!" But he was afraid that Ning Ruxue would suddenly go crazy, so he hurriedly calmed it down first, and then turned to Hua Yi and said: "Your body is not completely well, drink some ginseng chicken soup to make up for it!"
After the two of them drank the soup, Ye Wen poured another sip of wine, and then said: "We have also arrived in the capital, and Miss Hua's body is gradually getting better, I want to come to you this time, I want to ask you, what are your plans in the future?"
Hearing this, Ning Ruxue knew that Ye Wen wanted to know what Hua Yi was planning, and then make an arrangement, so how to say it would be possible to reach a conclusion today, so she didn't interject anymore, and just sat on the side and watched the two of them talk.
Hua Yi lowered her head and looked at the empty bowl in front of her, as if there was something attractive there, Ye Wen saw that she didn't speak, coughed again, and continued: "Miss Hua's injuries are already healed, even if you don't need to help with conditioning in the future, you can slowly heal......! If Miss Hua wants to recover, in fact, she can find a place to cultivate slowly, and she will be able to cultivate back......"
Before he finished speaking, Hua Yi shook his head violently: "I don't want to practice that kung fu anymore......" There was a faint cry between the words, Ye Wen and Ning Ruxue knew that Hua Yi remembered the sad thing and actually cried.
But as soon as he mentioned that kung fu, Hua Yi remembered Shen Yuqing, who raised him, and recalled that when he was young, Shen Yuqing helped him take a bath and let himself soak in a medicinal bath, only saying that it was to enhance his qualifications, and at the same time teach himself all kinds of manners, reading, literacy and dancing, as if he was a mother.
And when she was messing around, she was also kind and persuasive, and she would buy whatever toys she wanted. I don't want all of this to be fake, it's all just to coax her to concentrate on cultivating that Xuanyin Qi.
So when she thought of that kung fu, she would think of Shen Yuqing, and then feel that she was a fool, so she was very disgusted with that kung fu, and she didn't even like it for herself who practiced that kung fu.
"Hmm...... In this way, why don't I come forward and help you introduce a good family?" said that it was up to me, but in fact, I had to bother Xu Xian's family in the end. The Xu family has a lot of status, and it is not limited to the small county town of Shushan County, and the Xu family will come forward to help Huayi find a good family, so there will not be much trouble.
And the gorgeous clothes and posture are superb, in order to cultivate a temperament, I have learned a lot of things, except that a little older is simply a peerless beauty who can attract countless people to step on the threshold to ask for marriage - and the only problem age, I can't see it in appearance.
Hua Yi continued to bow her head and remain silent, at this time Ning Ruxue was silent on the side, but she saw a little bit of Hua Yi's thoughts, so she asked, "Could it be that Miss Hua wants to stay in Shushan?"
As soon as these words came out, Hua Yi's body immediately shook, and then timidly raised his head and glanced at Ning Ruxue, and then at Ye Wen again: "I ......"
I didn't say that, but I obviously thought so. Ning Ruxue stopped talking when she saw it, but looked at Ye Wen, obviously wanting to see how Ye Wen handled this matter.
"Alas...... This, stay in my Shushan faction?" Ye Wen scratched his head, and he didn't know how to speak.
In fact, as soon as Ning Ruxue said the sentence 'want to stay in Shushan?' just now, his heart almost stopped beating for half a beat, and then saw that Hua Yi seemed to have this tendency, and jumped twice.
It's false to say that you are not impressed, and to bring home such a woman who looks so eye-catching, it is estimated that no one will choose to refuse. It's just that when he thinks about his junior sister, Ye Wen can only stubbornly say: "What do you want when you go back to Shushan with me?
As soon as these words came out, Ning Ruxue immediately glared at Ye Wen, glared at Ye Wen fiercely, and at the same time stepped on Ye Wen's foot, and crushed it a few times before retracting it.
The corners of Ye Wen's mouth twitched, he endured the pain and didn't dare to make a sound, and waited until Ning Ruxue withdrew her feet before she let out a sigh, and then poured a big sip of wine: "If you drink too much, it won't hurt!"
It's just that the two of them are so close to Hua Yi, even if they can't escape no matter how secret their actions are, they are all seen clearly by Hua Yi, and when they see this, they immediately stand up, and then kneel down with a puff on the side, crying: "The little girl was in trouble with the Shushan faction at the beginning, although they have their own belongings, but they are enemies to the two of them." And when the little woman was injured, the two of them carefully treated and took care of them in every possible way, so that the little woman could recover as usual. After receiving such a great kindness from the two, the little woman could not repay it, and volunteered to serve the two of them forever as a slave and a maid!"
After saying these words in one breath, without waiting for Ye Wen and Ning Ruxue to react, they immediately kowtowed a few heads.
Seeing the blood on Hua Yi's forehead, he immediately took out a handkerchief to hold the wound on his forehead, and said busily: "Why did Miss Hua say this, you were also deceived by others." Now that you have suffered a great change, you have also escaped from the tiger's mouth, so why bother to practice yourself?"
Hua Yi just knelt on the ground and cried: "I was brought up by Master since I was a child, and now Master doesn't want me anymore, I have nowhere to go, and I ask you two to take ...... in."
Ye Wen's head was big at this time, and he originally wanted to ask Hua Yi what he thought. If she wants to live the rest of her life plainly, she can arrange it for her. Even if she wants to take revenge, it won't take long for her qualifications to regain that art career, but she never thought of being a servant girl for herself.
This one...... It's a tempting proposition, but as a decent leader, it seems, probably, it should be unacceptable...... Right?
was hesitating how to answer, not wanting Ning Ruxue to say: "In that case, you can go back to Shushan with us!" It's just that you don't have to say anything about being a slave or a maid!" Ning Ruxue has been abandoned since she was a child, and after being sensible, she can't help but think about why her parents threw her away, and she also has the feeling that the world is so big that there is no place for herself.
Fortunately, she had a master and a senior brother at that time, and she was not lonely. But now Huayi has nothing, and because of the Tianle Gang, it can be regarded as an enemy on the left and right. Now that martial arts are wasted, walking around in this world is estimated to inevitably end up in a tragedy.
What's more, if Huayi has such an appearance, if he doesn't have the ability to protect himself, it is the source of disaster. Saving it and pushing it to even more sinister places was beyond her control.
It's just that Hua Yi said at this time: "Thank you Miss Ning for taking you in! Hua Yi will definitely serve the two of you well and keep her duty as a maidservant." It's just that Ning Ruxue held down her shoulder, but she couldn't knock her head down.
