Chapter 16: Beauty in the Cabinet
Ji Changkong looked at them with a ghostly look, thinking that it was some strange thing, so he also walked over a few steps to see what was going on.
There was nothing unusual in the box, only a woman curled up in a cocoon by a rope. Although some of the dirt on his face is not very tidy, it is not difficult to see that he still has a bit of a posture, and he is dressed luxuriously, which lady from a big family should be.
Bei Shen leaned over and probed between her nose and said, "It's still alive." But the breath is very weak, it should have been left in for a day or two, and it needs to be treated quickly. ”
As soon as her words fell, Ji Changkong stretched out his hand to the woman.
Seeing this, Bei Shen hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "Hey...... Hey, don't move. That ......, nineteen, nineteen, you come, you come and get her out. ”
Nineteen: "Okay, miss." Then he came over, took out his dagger, and went first to cut the rope that was bound to her.
Ji Changkong withdrew his hand and said, "I just want to see what is written on the token on her waist, what do you think I'm going to do?" ”
Hearing this, Bei Kan's face turned red, and he lowered his head and stopped talking.
Xu was too much of a commotion, and as soon as Nineteen ripped open the rope tied to the woman and was about to fish her out, the woman slowly opened her eyes and sat up in the box.
She looked at her surroundings, looked at the large group of strangers in front of her, moved her lips, and just as she wanted to speak, Bei Shen stopped her.
"Hey, stop. I'm guessing you're definitely trying to ask us three questions: Who are we? What is this place? What do we want to do? Is that right. ”
The woman was surprised: "How do you know?" ”
Bei Shen smiled and continued: "This is a village in Qingteng Mountain, called Qingteng Village, we are naturally the people in this village, as for what we did, that is, when we went down the mountain to rob the road today, I never thought that you would be in the box, so I got you back by the way." But in front of you, it wasn't us who tied you up, but saved you. So, say, who are you? ”
Nineteen helped her out of the box, and she rubbed her hands and feet, which were a little sore. looked at Bei Shen vigilantly and said: "Why should I tell you, just based on the few words you say, how can I know if you are bad people." ”
As soon as Bei Shen wanted to reply to her, he listened to Ji Changkong on the side: "Don't worry, what she said is true, we are not bad people." After a pause, he added, "At least I'm not." ”
When Bei Shen heard it, he complained in his heart: This means, he is not a bad person, I just look at it?!
The woman was rubbing her wrist when she suddenly heard a deep and beautiful male voice, and looked up at the owner of the voice. At this glance, her eyes suddenly lit up, and her face was much calmer, not as hostile as just now.
She bowed to Ji Changkong, and said with a smile in her eyebrows: "Hui Gongzi, my surname is Xie, my name is Qiaochun, and I am the daughter of Lord Xie, the official of the capital. A few days ago, I was away from home to play alone, but I didn't expect to meet a group of people on the way and arrest me without saying a word. ”
Bei Kan saw her staring at Ji Changkong's ambiguous eyes, and her heart was a little hairy, and her intuition told her that this person was definitely not a good thing. So he said unceremoniously: "Then why did they put you in a box and move you so far?" ”
Miss Xie didn't answer her words, but continued to look at Ji Changkong, as if she didn't exist at all.
Ji Changkong said: "Miss Xie, do you know why they arrested you?" ”
Bei Kan Xindao: Didn't you ask in vain? Obviously she just said that those people arrested her without saying a word, do you think she might know?
Miss Xie was indeed not annoyed by his extra questioning, and still whispered, "I don't know, but I guess it has something to do with my father." When the situation in the DPRK and China was turbulent, it was rumored that several princes were scrambling to win over the ministers of the DPRK and China, in an attempt to increase their power and sit on the throne of the crown prince. Presumably, this time it was also someone with bad intentions who wanted to arrest me and blackmail my father. ”
Bei Shen said: "Then since you know that you are still running around, you are not afraid that if your father does not obey, they will tear up the ticket and divide the body." ”
As before, Miss Xie still turned a deaf ear.
Ji Changkong said: "Miss Xie, it was a pure accident to bring you back this time, but everyone is tired today." If you don't dislike it, let's find someone to take you to freshen up and tidy up, and then stay here for a night's rest, I'm afraid there will be danger on the road again, and we'll send you into the city early tomorrow morning. ”
Xie Qiaochun said: "I don't dislike it, but I also want to thank my son for saving his life." ”
When Bei Kan heard that she was going to live here, he hurriedly said, "Hey, hey, have you asked me, did I agree?" ”
After that, Ji Changkong led Xie Qiaochun out of the warehouse, handed her over to the fourteenth aunt outside, and threw Bei Shen and her anger behind him as air.
From beginning to end, Bei Kan couldn't insert a word between the two of them, but was so angry that he stomped his feet by the two of them, and said in his heart: It's the opposite! Don't look at whose house this is, is there any reason for it?
In the evening, the village is brightly lit and very lively. Everyone is celebrating the harvest during the day, dozens of tables are set up in the huge courtyard, the good meat and vegetables on the table are stacked layer after layer, and dozens of wine jars are piled up in the open space on the side, and the sound of porcelain bowls colliding together is accompanied by the shouting of everyone's fists.
That's the scene outside the house.
In the house, Mrs. Bei was sitting above the hall, and the owner of Beizhai stepped down from the stage to raise the wine glass and salute everyone sitting one by one, and everyone was smiling and groaning on their faces.
But at this moment, Bei Kan felt very uncomfortable in her heart, because whether it was dinner or discussion in the lobby before, the person sitting next to Ji Changkong had always been her. But now that Miss Xie came, she directly grabbed her place, and the dove occupied the magpie's nest and sat next to Ji Changkong, so that she had to sit on the seat opposite them. She also talked and laughed with him throughout the banquet, eyebrows, she had never received this kind of treatment.
She gritted her teeth, clenched the chopsticks in her hand, and poked hard at a piece of meat in the bowl.
When the owner of Beizhai walked to her table with a wine jug, she put away her emotions, raised her glass and smiled: "Daddy, I did a good job this time, right?" ”
Bei Qingteng snorted: "You think I don't know, if it weren't for the timely departure of the son, maybe your life would be gone now." ”
Bei pouted and said in a low voice, "How can I be so useless." ”
After drinking a glass of wine with her, Bei Qingteng went to Xie Qiaochun's table again. Seeing the owner of the village coming, Miss Xie filled the cup with wine, raised her glass and said, "To the owner of the North Village." ”
Bei Qingteng also replied to her: "Miss Xie, this time you have condescended to this place and have been inconsiderately entertained, please forgive me." ”
Xie Qiaochun said with a smile: "Where, it is obvious that I took the liberty to come here to disturb you, and I also received the love of the owner of the village, how can it be said that I have condescended?" ”
When the lord of Beizhai first saw her, he felt that she was dignified and decent, and he had a good impression. At this moment, I heard her speak so eloquently, and I had a good impression of her in my heart.
So he said with a smile: "The daughters raised by rich and noble families are really different, knowledgeable and courteous, and their bearing is extraordinary." It's not like my brutal and willful daughter, who runs around like a mountain boy all day long. As he spoke, he glanced at the North Tree behind him.
Bei Shen heard his father say that he was not in front of outsiders, and it was still this annoying Miss Xie, he was annoyed for a while, and the speed of poking the meat in his hand accelerated, and the meat in the bowl was poked into meat puree.
After toasting one by one, the owners of the north village returned to the top and sat down again. Bei Shen looked at the two people talking and laughing opposite, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was not a taste. Finally, he couldn't sit still, picked up the wine jug on his table, walked to the woman's table, and said, "Miss Xie, right?" ”
When the two people who were talking to her saw her coming, they both looked up at her. Bei Ran ignored the sky on the side, lifted the hem of his clothes, and sat down at Miss Xie's table. said: "I just heard that Miss Xie is a beautiful lady in everyone, knowledgeable and courteous, and can speak well, so the amount of wine must be good." If we are fortunate enough to meet today, why don't we come and have a drink and chat? ”
Although Xie Qiaochun was born in an official family and grew up in an official family since he was a child, he also followed his brother out to see the world, so he naturally had no problem with this kind of entertainment. However, this look is here to find fault.
She said, "Drink it." ”
