The 229th Round: Returning home
Han Changwei helped Yao Qi to send Li Erniang into the car, and after the placement was completed, he told Jin Yu to leave for the house, and said in a low voice: "There is still a vacant courtyard in the house. ”
Jin Yu stared for a moment: "Yes, there is an empty courtyard next to your study, but it is a little small, and there are only two main rooms. ”
Han Changdui nodded and said, "Okay, after returning home, you and the Liu family will personally clean up the yard, don't alarm anyone." ”
Jin Yu's expression froze, and he nodded hurriedly: "Yes." ”
He felt that something was wrong in his heart, his own son went to Pingkangfang, and it was understandable that he brought out a girl, but what happened to the man who came out, he looked very ordinary, is it still worth being a golden house.
He had a new understanding of the character of his master.
The carriage drove unimpeded into the front of Han Shizi's mansion in Yongchangfang.
Han Changdui naturally entered from the main gate, while Jin Yu drove the car directly to the corner gate of the carriage and horse, drove all the way into the courtyard, and together with Yao Qi, sent Li Erniang and Gu Dalang in the car into the courtyard, and called Liu to come over to clean up the house.
Liu's hands and feet are neat, although she is cleaning up alone, but she is not in a hurry, she is cleaning up, while secretly looking at Li Erniang and Yao Qi, Li Erniang's face is yellow and thin, and she looks weak, but Yao Qi has apricot eyes and curved lips, looking very festive, she can't help but be a little strange.
These two girls and the favored shallow girl in the inner courtyard are clearly three paragraphs.
And the prince placed this girl next to the study, and he was not allowed to spread it, which was obviously more spoiled by this girl, after all, the study in this courtyard was only a few steps away.
The more Liu looked at it, the more frightened she became, and when she went out to wash, she saw Jin Yu guarding the medicine jar in the stove room, she hurriedly went over and asked in a low voice: "Eh, the master, what is the origin of the people in this house?" ”
Jin Yu sighed in a low voice, glared and said, "You dare to inquire about the matter of the prince." ”
Liu sighed and said seriously: "When the prince entered Beijing, the prince explained, and he wanted to write to him about the prince's situation in every detail, and the prince was going to take a concubine, so for such a big thing, why don't you hurry up and write to the prince?" ”
Jin Yu hurriedly covered Liu's mouth: "Don't talk nonsense, there is nothing to do with the eight characters, don't alarm the prince first." ”
Liu was stunned, this has been received in the house, and there is no word, this is too difficult.
Jin Yu knew what the Liu family was thinking, but their master's heart was as deep as the sea, and it was really unpredictable, so he said in a low voice: "Don't think about it, the girl who helped clean up is called Yao Qi, she is a member of the army in Jingzhao Mansion, and she is on an errand with the prince, the girl on the kang, I don't know what it is called, but she is definitely not here to be a concubine for the prince, eighty percent is related to the case, you are more strict in your mouth, you can't let anyone know that these people are in the house, let alone the one behind you." ”
Liu Shi lost a smile on his face, and nodded condensedly: "Don't worry, I know the severity, I must take good care of people, and I will never leak the news." ”
The room has been cleaned up, the warmth of the big kang is burning, and there is a charcoal basin on the ground, Yao Qi twisted the handkerchief, and kept wiping Gu Dalang's face and hands.
Li Erniang's eyes were slightly red and looked around, although the furnishings in this room were simple, everything was extremely extravagant, even if she was born poor and had never seen such rich furnishings, but she could also see that these things were not something that ordinary people could use.
She remembered that when she entered the courtyard just now, the carriage had walked a full cup of tea from the gate of the mansion before stopping in the front hall, which showed how big the mansion was.
She couldn't help but be a little timid, and asked tremblingly, "Ah Qi, this, where is this." ”
Yao Qi poured hot water and handed it to Li Erniang, and said gently: "Don't be afraid, this is the Mansion of King Han, Prince Han is now the Major Envoy of the Department of Internal Security, if anyone in the world can avenge you and Brother Gu, he is the only one." ”
Li Erniang was stunned, her eyes widened, and she stumbled: "Inside, inside, internal security department, young envoy?" ”
What is the prince of Han Wang, she doesn't know it, and she hasn't heard of it, but she has heard of the Internal Security Division, and everyone in the world is afraid of this place, it turns out that the good-looking and easy-talking son, who is the young envoy of the Internal Security Division, is really possible to wash away the grievances of their family.
With tears in her eyes, she wanted to cry: "Really, really? ”
Yao Ji blinked, forced the sour feeling back, and nodded heavily: "Really, you and Brother Gu have waited until the day when we see the light of day again." ”
The two of them were relatively sad, crying and laughing for a while, when there was a sudden sound of soft footsteps outside the door, and then someone knocked on the door.
Yao Qi was stunned for a moment, only Han Changdui could make such a fool of himself in his own mansion, she coughed lightly, and said with a smile: "My lord is in my own home, so I don't have to be so polite." ”
Han Changwan heard the banter in Yao Qi's words, pushed the door in, shook his head and said helplessly: "Although the words are good, they are not so good. ”
Yao Qi leaned over and cut off a piece of candle wick, the candle flame was a little brighter, she pursed her lips and chuckled, but her eyes were as bright as clear water, but they couldn't be more sincere, she turned her head with her cheeks and smiled: "The lord is kind-hearted, and his kindness is comparable to the disciple of the Bodhisattva. ”
Han Changdui choked up, is this a good word, how did he hear the feeling of the donkey's liver and lungs!!
He decided not to talk to Yao Ji anymore, lest he be angry and die young, sat upright, looked at Li Erniang with red eyes, and said gently: "Are you Li Erniang?" ”
This tone is like a spring breeze in March, gently and softly blowing through the grass and warblers, but Yao Qi shuddered inexplicably, and looked at Han Changdui with strange eyes, now he is like a big-tailed wolf.
Li Erniang looked at Han Changdui under the shadow of the lamp, the handsome son was as gentle as jade, she ignored that he was a ruthless young envoy of the Internal Security Division, so she naturally had a little more trust, and lowered her eyes and replied yes.
Han Changdui twisted his sleeves and looked at Li Erniang playfully, this is obviously a girl who is ignorant of the world, she suffered such a big loss five years ago, and she has not grown at all, and she is not defensive against people to this extent, I really don't know how she survived in the past five years.
He moved his eyes to look at Yao Qi, could it be that in the past few years, these two people have been living under her wings, and she is struggling to protect them.
What is she trying to do this, Tu Na Gu Dalang is good-looking, can she help them get a good reputation?
Yao Qi noticed Han Changdu's questioning gaze, she turned a blind eye, lowered her head and took a sip of tea, and sighed, "This tea is good." ”
This is to show her attitude, since she has entered the Shizi Mansion and handed it over to Han Changdui, how to ask what can be asked in the end, it is all Han Changdu's ability, she will only watch coldly, but she will not overstep her bounds.
Han Changwan raised his eyebrows and continued to ask gently: "Li Erniang, what happened five years ago, can you tell this official in detail." ”
Li Erniang's face changed suddenly, as if she remembered some unbearable memory, she trembled in horror, and her lips became pale and bloodless.
In the past five years, she has not been afraid for a day, not a day has not been worried, sometimes she simply wants to open her brain, take out the memory of five years ago, tear it up, smash it and burn it, and never remember it again.
She used all her strength to suppress her fear, her whole body was like losing strength, she leaned weakly against the wall by the kang, the corners of her lips twitched, and she struggled for a long time, and only then did she tell what happened five years ago with great difficulty, which was not much different from what Yao Qi said before, but there were more details.
Han Changdui nodded and asked gently: "As you said, since Yuan Niang is married, why didn't Gu Dalang go with him on the day he returned to the door." ”
Li Erniang shook her head, looked at Yao Qi, and said in a low voice, "I don't know." ”
Han Changwan squinted his eyes silently, and asked again: "Since Daddy Li left the capital with you, why did you come back, how did you meet Gu Dalang, and where is Gu Dalang's aunt." ”
Li Erniang silently wept: "Daddy took me out of the capital as soon as someone chased and killed, it was Brother Gu who arrived in time, saved me and Daddy, and took us to Jingyang County to live, two years ago, the Jingyang County Government Office came to arrest Brother Gu on the charge of colluding with Tibet, and killed Aunt Gu and my father on the spot, Brother Gu desperately protected me to escape from Jingyang County, but fell into a coma due to serious injuries, and later, I met Ah Qi, she escorted us back to the capital, these two years, it has been Ah Ji who is taking care of us. ”
Han Changdui showed a really like this, he knew Yao Qi very well, she would definitely not give up her life to save someone for no reason.
He did not shy away from Yao Qi listening to him, and asked lightly: "Li Erniang, did you know Yao Qi before?" ”
Li Erniang shook her head: "I don't know." ”
Han Changwan touched his smooth chin and squinted slightly: "Then why did you believe her so easily and go back to the capital with her, aren't you afraid that she will also come to harm you?" ”
Hearing this, Yao Qi didn't even raise his head, just looked at the shallow amber tea rippling slightly, and sneered.
Li Erniang was stunned for a moment, frowned tightly, and hurriedly said: "When I met Ah Ji, Brother Gu woke up for a moment, glanced at Ah Ji, and only said one sentence to let me follow her from now on, and then fainted again. ”
Han Changwan glanced at Yao Qi and continued to ask Li Erniang: "In the past two years, Gu Dalang has never woken up again?" ”
Li Erniang wept again: "I woke up, but my body is much worse than before, and I can't walk on my two legs anymore. ”
As he spoke, Jin Yu fried the medicine and sent it in, gently rested it on the small table, and then retreated silently.
Seeing this, Yao Ji silently held the medicine bowl, picked up the skinny Gu Dalang, and fed the medicine spoonful by spoonful.
Han Changwan looked at this scene, and faintly felt that something was wrong, Yao Qi's movements were very careful and gentle, as if he was caring for some rare treasure.
