[Qing Dynasty] "Gege" is polite
Chapter 51
When Wen Liang got up, the sky was not bright yet.
His movement woke up Luyi who was waiting outside, and after a while, Luyi came in in the dark, and then lit the candle on the table, "What's wrong, sir?"
It was also the first time for Wen Liang to wake up so early, he rubbed his forehead and said, "It's nothing, I had a dream." He seldom dreams, even if he had dreams occasionally, he immediately forgot them when he woke up.
The same is true of today's dream. Wen Liang couldn't remember the content of the dream, but woke up from the dream the moment the dream ended. It was indeed a rare experience.
Wen Liang got up and put on some clothes, and drove Lu Yi back to sleep again, but he himself lost sleepiness, walked to the bookshelf to choose a book for himself, and then slowly returned to the bed, leaning against the bed Start reading a book.
After looking at it for a long time, Xu Shi's sleepiness that had been suppressed just now invaded again, and when Wen Liang was awakened by the book that fell on the ground, it was already the time for him to get up in the past.
Wen Liang bent down to pick up the book, patted the dust carefully, and noticed that she was a little top-heavy.He raised his hand and touched his forehead, but he didn't notice anything unusual, and said a few more words to himself, his nasal tone was normal, and he changed his clothes as usual.Lu Yi just brought in the copper basin at this time, and waited for Wen Liang to wash her hands and face before asking someone to bring in the meal.
Wen Liang ate the clear porridge, neither salty nor bland, he couldn't taste anything, quickly finished the last two or three sips, wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief and stood up.
Lu Yi noticed that Wen Liang's appetite didn't seem to be very good, but it was only two or three mouthfuls less than before, so she didn't think about other places.
Today's warm and cool things will be moved from the outer study to the small courtyard again, so from the early morning, the small courtyard began to move.Most of the valuable things were moved to the warehouse in the small courtyard yesterday, and the things Wen Liang used to move this morning.
So after breakfast, Wen Liang planned to leave the house.
At first, it was Zhu Bao who followed Wen Liang out of the house. Since Zhu Bao died, the person who often followed Wen Liang was Lu Yi.It's just that today's affairs need to keep Lu Yi in charge, so she changed to Bronze Sparrow.
Tongque followed Wen Liang out of the house for the first time, so naturally she was careful about everything, for fear of making something that would make Wen Liang angry when she didn't know it.Xu Shi was chased away by Wen Liang because he violated Wen Liang's taboo. Tongque always had a cautious feeling in front of Wen Liang, and seemed very depressed.
His warm eyes glanced at Tongque, and he leaned against the car window and said indifferently, "Just do what you should do, why do you think so much about the others."
Tongque forced a smile and said, "Your servant knows." She also knew her own weakness. It was indeed her mistake at the beginning, but now it is also Tongque's own problem. How to correct it is what she needs to think about. Don't let Wen Liang interfere.
The clatter of horseshoes drew Wen Liang to Zhenshan Pavilion upon seeing it.
There are endless crowds of people in Zhenshan Pavilion. It is a small three-storey building. It is the first time that there are cheap and high-quality goods.
When Wen Liang got out of the car, the thugs guarding the door quickly recognized who it was and rushed to meet him.Wen Liang waved his hand and said, "Go do your own thing, don't worry about me." After he dismissed all the shopkeepers and waiters, he walked around the first floor of Zhenshan Pavilion, then slowly went up to the second floor, and then It was the third floor, and after seeing all the things he wanted to see, Wen Liang found the treasurer of Zhenshan Pavilion.
Wen Liang has always been in charge of outside affairs, until now some affairs have been gradually taken over by others, but he is still an important figure in the eyes of these shopkeepers.
"I want to know why these things are priced so inflatedly?" Wen Liang pointed his fingers vaguely on a few items, and then silently tapped the paper rolled up in his hand, which was reported to the mansion s price.
The big shopkeeper said with a sneer, "Where did the gentleman say, these are naturally in accordance with the rules."
"A glazed cup, you sell it for 25 taels of silver, and the quotation in the mansion is 100 taels. The difference between entering and exiting a set is [-] taels. Let me tell you where the money went." Wen Liang He said slowly, took a sip of the tea here, and put it down again.
Xu Shi had grown a taste in the mansion, but now he is not used to drinking the tea outside.
The big shopkeeper wiped his forehead with a handkerchief, and argued, "First of all, the 25th student must have heard it wrong. The price of this glass cup has always been 50. If anyone really quotes [-] taels, it must be that person who is greedy for ink, sir. But I still remember who it is, and I will immediately tie them up to see Mr.!"
"No need." Wen Liang said indifferently, he asked the big shopkeeper to get out of the way, and gave the second shopkeeper behind him time to talk, "Tell me what's going on?"
The second shopkeeper hesitated for a moment between Wen Liang and the big shopkeeper, then immediately leaned forward and said, "Sir, some items in Zhenshan Pavilion have indeed raised their prices in secret, and the extra silver taels were divided into three. Except for the silver rewards for the waiters who were sold, the rest went into the pocket of the shopkeeper, and the remaining one-fifth was collected by the villain."
Wen Liang glanced at the big shopkeeper with a stagnant face, "You know what I am, since I have come to you, I have evidence in hand, how can someone be so stupid and not know what to do when the time comes?"
The big treasurer, this person can be the big treasurer of Zhenshan Pavilion, he has some connections, Wen Liang vaguely remembers that he seems to be Li's next of kin, this person is also quite quick-witted, and the whole Zhenshan Pavilion is also running under his hands As usual, it is greedy for money.
"Originally, I have suggested to Lord Belle that if the profit of each store can exceed that of previous years, one-twentieth of the excess will be rewarded to the shopkeeper. Lord Belle also agreed to this point." Wen Liang said indifferently. Looking at the shopkeeper, "Tell me, how much is Zhenshan Pavilion's income this year?"
The shopkeeper was limp on the ground, did he lose the watermelon and pick up the sesame seeds?Now he doesn't even have sesame seeds.
Wen Liang directly smashed the first shopkeeper thoroughly, and then kicked the second shopkeeper down as a waiter, and transferred people from other shops to replace the two positions.It was already noon when he came out after processing.
These things are not difficult, but trivial and time-consuming.
Wen Liang touched his stomach, and even though it was noon, he didn't have any appetite at all.He hesitated on the spot for a moment, and chose a teahouse to eat something at random. After sending Tongque and others to eat outside, Wen Liang leaned on his chin and looked at the scenery on the street, casually picking up peanuts.
On the huge table, there was only a plate of peanuts and half a pot of tea, and Wen Liang asked Xiaoer to take the rest to the attendants outside.
Wen Liang felt a little dizzy in his head, maybe it was the result of waking up and falling asleep in the middle of the night. At this moment, his thoughts were drifting, and they fell leisurely on Yinzhen.
To be precise, it fell on the followers of Yinzhen.
Apart from these aides, there are two people who are most helpful to Yinzhen, the writer Longkodo and the warrior Nian Gengyao.In the middle, there is another Li Wei.It's a pity that except for Long Kedo, the rest of these three people have not yet reached the point of exerting their strength. Even Nian Gengyao is still an inconspicuous official in the Imperial Academy.
Maybe something can be found?
Wen Liang thought.
……
In Zhen Baylor's mansion, Yin Zhen is meeting with an unknown official.
Although this person's official position is small, he is quite valued by Yinzhen.The two talked very happily, and the two were suitable.The lower-ranking person is almost heart-pumping, and the higher-ranking person is also nodding frequently.
At noon, after Yinzhen stayed for dinner, he came over for another half an hour before sending someone to the door.
At that time, a carriage stopped at the gate of Zhen Baylor's Mansion, and the attendant with the little official hurriedly avoided, and the little official also stopped following his movement.Seeing a group of people entering from outside the mansion, the little official couldn't help asking, 'Who is this person? "
The servant who led the people said respectfully, "This is Mr. Wen, a staff member in the mansion. Mr. Nian, this way please."
Nian Gengyao thoughtfully followed the servant and left, the group of people who passed by just now remained in his mind. The young man at the head had a cold look, and he was indeed a character.
Wen Liang, who was being naughty, was walking back with a straight face. Although his appearance was normal, he could actually feel that he might really have caught a cold.Fortunately, Tongque is not familiar with Wenliang now, if it were Luyi, she might be excited now.
Wen Liang's steps stopped in front of the outer study, and he suddenly remembered that his room was no longer here.Just when he was about to turn around, Su Peisheng, who was on the porch, happened to see Wen Liang, and wanted to lean down, but when he raised his eyes and saw Wen Liang's appearance, he ran over from a distance.
There was movement behind him, and Wen Liang didn't have any reason to walk away. He turned around and looked at Su Peisheng who was catching up, "What's the matter, Mr. Su?"
Su Peisheng bowed and said, "Sir, are you feeling unwell?"
Originally, he shouldn't be talking too much, Su Peisheng is not Wen Liang's attendant, his own attendant didn't find out about this, and it has nothing to do with Su Peisheng.But after thinking about it these days, he silently discovered a little secret of his master.
Don't let Mr. Wen make any mistakes.
Wen Liang raised his hand to touch his face, and found that the temperature hadn't risen yet, so he opened his eyes blankly and said nonsense, "No problem."
Su Peisheng couldn't bear to expose his lie, "Sir, you are blushing and have a fever, you don't seem to be okay." Wen Liang stood where he was, touched his face doubtfully, there was indeed not much difference in body temperature.
Xu Yinzhen in the room heard Wen Liang's movement, got up and saw Wen Liang and Su Peisheng standing face to face, Wen Liang's face was like peach pink, his eyes were slightly rippling, he didn't seem to be okay.
Yin Zhen came over with a solemn expression, "Since Mr. is sick, why did you go out?"
Wen Liang weighed his words carefully, "A certain person didn't notice the symptoms." He touched his forehead before going out, and he went out only after there was no problem.
Yinzhen realized something, watched Wen Liang raise his hand and put the back of his hand against his forehead, and subconsciously tore off Wen Liang's palm.
very hot.
Wen Liang narrowed his eyes comfortably, Yinzhen's palm was very cool, making him feel comfortable where he was being held.
Huh?
Wen Liang looked down at the palms of the two holding hands seriously, and then raised his eyes after a long while and said slowly, "So, it seems that I really have a fever."
Such a difference in body temperature, in the season of autumn clouds, really cannot be argued by the difference in physique of each person.
Yinzhen sighed helplessly, and looked at Wen Liang's reluctant words with a broken smile, "It would be great if Mr. could think like this in the morning. Walking outside with his sick body for so long, the condition will inevitably get stronger."
Wen Liang's body has always been very good, but every one or two years there will be a big one, and Wen Liang has gotten used to it over the past few years.Seeing what Yinzhen said, he didn't have any idea, "I'm going to see the doctor."
Yinzhen asked Su Peisheng to call the doctor, and looked at Wen Liang's face again, "When you think about seeing the doctor, I'm afraid you'll get dizzy before you agree." He pushed people inside, only waiting for the doctor to finish his diagnosis Only leave when it's cool.
Bronze Sparrow watched from behind as the two masters in front unconsciously held hands and then let go of them unconsciously. She blinked and failed to catch the fleeting thought in her mind, only to feel that there seemed to be something very important that she hadn't thought of.
This kind of thought was fleeting, Tongque couldn't hold on to its tail and didn't think about it anymore, it just waited anxiously outside the door, wanting to slap itself a few times, if Luyi came out with her, it would be more careful than her.
Wen Liang sat on the upper right side, and Yinzhen sat next to him, looking at Wen Liang's half-closed eyes, he said, "Do you feel dizzy, sir?"
Wen Liang nodded, and opened his eyes again, "Master, everything outside has been dealt with. After careful consideration, with Mr. Wu's ability, he should be able to play a role by sending out to assist a minister. Stay in the mansion to deal with him. It’s an overkill.” Dai Duo is also the same, but when Yin Zhen planned to release him a few months ago, he had already released Dai Duo.
Yinzhen looked at Wen Liang struggling to think with a funny face, "Since Mr. is not feeling well, don't think about so many things, it's better to rest first."
Wen Liang put on a serious face, "I'm fine."
Yinzhen nodded half-heartedly, if Wen Liang could not speak with such a blushing face, it would be more convincing.
Wen Liang's face is clear and handsome, with little expression on his face, and he often stays indoors, so he has always been very fair.Once there is any difference on the surface, it is especially obvious.People who are indifferent and indifferent in daily life are dyed with pink and tender colors, which always have a different taste.
Dr. Li came over soon, and he had dealt with Wen Liang a lot in these years, and Wen Liang didn't really want to see Dr. Li's kind and kind face.
After Dr. Li cheerfully took Wen Liang's pulse, he said to Yinzhen, "Mr. Wen's condition is not very serious, it's just that he caught a cold in the middle of the night, and he will be fine after taking the medicine for a few days."
Wen Liang highlighted the words "medicine for a few days" in his mind, and before he drank the medicine, he felt bitter in his mouth and couldn't eat anything.
Dr. Li continued, "It's best to drink something light these days, but you have to eat."
Wen Liang watched his nose, mouth and heart without speaking.
Yinzhen didn't say anything, just asked Dr. Li to prescribe the medicine, and then stared at Wen Liang personally and took the prescribed medicine package back.Wen Liang returned to the small courtyard with a serious face, the first thing she did was to make Lu Yi boil the medicine, she was so startled that Lu Yi thought something happened, and felt very guilty when she found out the ins and outs from Tongque.
When Mr. Wen woke up last night, she shouldn't have followed his advice and went back. She must have caught a cold at that time.
Wen Liang walked around outside, but just felt a little uncomfortable, but after returning to the house, he became top-heavy, and could only lie on the bed for a few days to rest.
Emperor Kangxi in the palace also knew the news not long after, and soon sent Liang Jiugong to check on Wen Liang's situation for him.
At that time, Wen Liang was wearing a blanket and basking in the sun in the yard. Before he noticed Liang Jiugong, Liang Jiugong noticed the difference in Wenliang's yard first.After all, the bookstore is indeed too eye-catching.After finally looking away from the study room, Liang Jiugong was startled by Wen Liang's clumsy appearance again.
After a while, Liang Jiugong worked hard to hold back his laughter, and then bowed and said, "Slave Liang Jiugong..." Before he finished speaking, Wen Liang raised his head to look at him, Liang Jiugong really couldn't hold back now Smile, you can only control the spread of the smile on your face, absolutely not daring to laugh out loud.
Mr. Wen was lumped into balls with a cold expression on his face.
The contrast is really too great.
Wen Liang nodded lightly, looked at Liang Jiugong and said, "Eunuch Liang, please get up." He looked down at himself again, and said indifferently, "Forgive Wen Liang for not being able to get up."
Liang Jiugong nodded with a smile. He knew Wen Liang's temper, so he didn't take it seriously, and it was indeed difficult for Wen Liang to stand up.
"The servant is here to visit Mr. Long Live, and he is very worried when he learns that Mr. Long Live is sick." Liang Jiugong stood in front of Wen Liang, shaking the dust, and said a few words before Wen Liang asked him to sit down. There also happened to be stone benches.
Liang Jiugong carefully sat on half of his buttocks, and before he could sit still, Wen Liang asked, "Move back, it's better not to sit like this." The clear and cold voice made Liang Jiugong sit back again. It is indeed much more comfortable than before.
Wen Liang pursed her lips and said, "There is nothing serious about this."
It seems to be serious, but after drinking the medicine for a day, the temperature and cooling condition has mostly improved, but I still feel a little afraid of the cold.The sun is comfortable today, Wen Liang came out to bask in the sun, and before he could see it, he was caught by Yinzhen, and then Yinzhen directed Lvyi to wrap Wen Liang into such a lump and put it outside to dry.
It is indeed much more comfortable to be warm.Wen Liang thought expressionlessly.
Liang Jiugong smiled and chatted with Wen Liang about homework for a long time, and then went back happily physically and mentally.Somehow, after accepting the blunt way in which Mr. Wen speaks, talking to Mr. Wen is a kind of comfortable enjoyment.This may be the reason why Long Live Lord likes Wen Liang more and more.
After Wen Liang sent someone to send Liang Jiugong away, he leaned back on the back of the chair and turned the pages of the book with both hands with difficulty, leaving only two hands exposed outside the blanket.After finally finishing the half of the book on her lap, Wen Liang called Lu Yi over with a loud voice.
"Untie it." Wen Liang looked at Lu Yi with burning eyes, and Lu Yi pursed her lips and smiled, "Do you want to go back inside, sir?"
Seeing Wen Liang nodded, Lu Yi and Tongque put away the blanket together, Wen Liang stretched his body on the spot, and then returned to the house with the book.
It was indeed colder inside the room than outside, Wen Liang silently put on another coat, turned around and sat down in front of the desk, at the same time took out the things Wen Liang wanted from the bottom shelf.
The thick stack is full of information about Western countries written by Wen Liang. Although Wen Liang doesn't remember much, it can be regarded as clear after all.Starting from the UK, I wrote down whatever I thought of, and the accumulation of rewritten content is not too small to this day.
Wen Liang was carefully looking at the rewritten content, before he could start writing again, there was some movement outside the room, Wen Liang looked up at the greenery that came in.Luyi came in with a troubled look, and said cautiously, "Sir, Elder Brother Fourteen is here and said he wanted to see you."
The fourteenth elder brother is the master in name, and now that Yinzhen is not around, Yinzhen's request cannot be refused.Wen Liang stood up, "Where is he?"
Lu Yi said, "We've arrived at the Flower Hall."
Wen Liang frowned, turned back behind the screen and changed clothes, then came out, and said calmly, "Let's go."
Luyi's worry is not unfounded, Yinzhen specially chooses when Yinzhen is not present, in order to avoid the fourth brother meeting Wen Liang openly, although Luyi doesn't know why the fourteenth elder brother wants to meet Wen Liang, But the conflict between the fourteenth elder brother and the husband was not once or twice.
The reason why Yinzhen didn't rush directly to the Wenliang courtyard proved that he was still a little in awe of Yinzhen, lest the fourth brother be taught too hard by him when he came back.However, when he sat leisurely at the head and saw Wen Liang coming from the door calmly, the feeling of being tickled by him came back again.
Spending these days in the martial arts arena, Yinzhen really honed his fists very well.
"Mr. Wen, you're finally here." Yinzhen looked at Wen Liang with a half-smile, but didn't let him just stand there, looking at his flushed face, Yinzhen couldn't act like this things to come.
His eyes fell on Luyi who was behind Wen Liang, "Go out." As soon as the prince's coercion came out, Luyi glanced at Wen Liang under great pressure, and went out with a pale face after receiving his signal.
"Master Fourteen has something to ask, just be straightforward, there is no need to use this method." Wen Liang coughed twice, and said indifferently.
Yinzhen sneered, "If you are the kind of person who can honestly explain things clearly, I don't have to bother you so much." The more he talked, the more dissatisfied he became, and he looked at Wen Liang and said, "Tell yourself, how many times have you met? , How many questions did you answer that Grandpa asked?"
Wen Liang said calmly, "If you can tell the fourteenth master, you will naturally tell the fourteenth master, and if you can't, you can't tell it."
Yinzhen snorted coldly, "You are toasting and not eating fine wine." He seemed to want to make a move.
"This is Zhenbeiler's mansion, not the residence of the Fourteenth Lord. I think that the Fourteenth Lord knows how to treat people with courtesy." Wen Liang took the tea in hand to moisten his throat, and said slowly, "This is not the Fourteenth Lord's. Naturally, my subordinates will not tell you everything." He said it calmly, and Yinzhen felt uncomfortable listening.
"How on earth did you win Huang Ama's favor?" Yinzhen glanced at Wen Liang up and down, completely unable to see why Emperor Kangxi loved Wen Liang so much.It's okay to say that there is something special about Wen Liang, but apart from his performance during the southern tour, Yin Zhen really can't see anything.
However, after seeing Emperor Kangxi getting along with Wen Liang in the palace a few days ago, Yinzhen realized something was wrong.
Emperor Kangxi had always been fond of Western objects, so he would often recruit these Western painters when talking about Western portraits.But besides the prince, there were only a few people who were lucky enough to get the portrait of Emperor Kangxi, not even the fourth brother.
Wen Liang is the staff member of the fourth brother's mansion, how can He De get this kind of treatment?
He is not the only one who is suspicious, Yinzhen knows that there are other brothers who are suspicious of this matter at this moment, but Yinzhen's silent appearance can't detect anything at all.Yinzhen was also itchy in his heart, so he ran directly because Zhen Beiler's mansion would not reject him, trying to attack Wen Liang directly.
Wen Liang pursed his lips and looked at Yinzhen, who had grown from an irritable child at the beginning to an even more irritable older child, with a cool tone, "I also know the answer that Fourteenth Master wants to know. Maybe Fourteenth Master can get the answer from Grandpa." .”
Yinzhen muttered, "If I get the answer from the fourth brother, I need to ask you specially?" The things Yinzhen didn't want to say were like putting a lock on his mouth, which couldn't be picked no matter what.
Wen Liang said indifferently, "Since this is the case, it proves that Lord Fourteen is not trustworthy."
Yinzhen's expression turned cold, his eyes were sharp like knives, "Keep your mouth shut!"
Wen Liang's expression remained the same, looking into Yinzhen's eyes, "Master Fourteen might as well ask himself, if he got the answer from someone now, how many people would immediately get the same answer from Master Fourteen easily?"
Yinzhen gritted his teeth.
The cool words continued, "I don't know what my master thinks, but my fourteenth master doesn't seem to express his position, and I don't know what I shouldn't say."
Yinzhen stood up from his seat, walked to Wen Liang, stared at the expressionless young man and said word by word, "Do you really think that the Lord dare not touch you?"
"I don't think so." Wen Liang drank the last bit of sweet rain, looked into Yinzhen's furious eyes, "I just stepped on the sore foot of Master Fourteen."
Yinzhen straightened up, and said angrily, "Who do I have a good relationship with, and what does it have to do with my fourth brother?!"
"Relationships with property and life in danger!"
Yinzhen was silent.
Wen Liang turned the teacup leisurely and contentedly, observing the condition of the tea leaves in the teacup. After a long time, she heard Yinzhen who was standing in front of her say, "Is it really this far?" Ryo didn't mind giving him an answer.
Seriously and sincerely answer.
"Why don't the Fourteenth Master go back to the palace and ask the Concubine De?"
Yinzhen looked up at him suddenly, Wen Liang didn't flinch, "I think Empress Concubine De is willing to tell you the answer."
At least before the prince was abolished, Yinzhen never had any thoughts about the throne. He was too young and seemed completely out of touch with the throne.But as time went by, no one knew that Emperor Kangxi could stay on the throne for so many years. When Yinhu was reprimanded by Emperor Kangxi, it seemed possible for the younger elder brothers behind him.
Wen Liang doesn't mind bringing this process forward.
It depends on what Yinzhen's choice is, no matter what it is, you can't escape those few consequences.
……
When Yinzhen left, he left with gritted teeth.He could indeed kill Wen Liang with a single knife, but the importance that Emperor Kangxi and Yinzhen attached to Wen Liang made Yinzhen cast a wary weapon. He originally wanted to force Wen Liang, but Wen Liang was a man who would never bend over. The appearance of Xiao Shengfeng is really incomprehensible.
The most hateful thing should be this person's words.It was so sharp that it pierced one's heart and lungs, and one wished to throw his words back at him again.
After Wen Liang defeated Yinzhen with words, he sat in the flower hall showing a touch of fatigue. After all, he was not feeling well, and Yinzhen was not a brat, and Wen Liang was not as calm as he appeared on the surface.
Lu Yi went in after Yin Zhen left, and seeing Wen Liang's face paler, she said anxiously, "Sir, this servant will call the doctor over again."
Wen Liang raised her hand to stop Lu Yi's movements, and said softly, "No need, just go back and rest."
After returning to the house, Wen Liang put on his clothes and lay down to rest. Lu Yi carefully covered Wen Liang with the quilt, and then retreated to the outside to guard, making up his mind that this time, he must follow the husband all the time. yes.
Wen Liang fell asleep directly to the willow tip on the moon, and when he opened his eyes, the whole room was silent, as dark as a curtain.He touched his forehead, and pressed the bedding with his palm to indicate that his body temperature was really normal, then lifted the bedding and sat up straight.
This little movement alarmed Lu Yi, who had been waiting carefully outside. She rushed in and lit the candle while asking. She was afraid that the sudden light would not be acceptable to her husband, so she turned sideways and placed it on the candle. on the side.
After Wen Liang took a nap, he felt a little lighter.He also has an appetite for the food that Wen Liang brings up next.Seeing that Wen Liang was finally willing to eat, Lu felt a lot more at ease.
After dinner, Wen Liang was very awake due to the afternoon rest, walked around the courtyard a few times to digest food, and then went back to the house.Perhaps it was a correct understanding of his own body, this time Wen Liang didn't intend to write anything at his desk, after wandering in front of the bookshelf for a while and found that he didn't find anything he was interested in, Wen Liang went to the bookstore next door.
The bookstore is full of specially sent books, which is different from the library in the mansion.The library is broad and wide, while the library is small but refined.Now Wen Liang is doing the same to the people serving in the courtyard.Originally, except for Luyi, Tongque, and Tunghua, among the people Yinzhen sent, he only left one servant who guarded the gate, and he sent the rest away.
Wen Liang stayed in the study until late afternoon, and then Lu Yi begged her to come out and go back to the room to rest.
The next day, Wenliang completely returned to normal, and after taking the medicine that should be taken for two or three days, it stopped.At the same time, the staff sent by Wen Liang also got the news.
Not good news.
Wen Liang asked Lvyi to call Tunghua over. Since Tunghua came to the small courtyard, she has been working peacefully. She has never applied makeup or talked to outsiders, so she has been silent all the time. Hearing the crying, I always thought that the outbreak that day was false.
Wen Liang looked at Tong Hua standing in front of her, the wound on her face had healed, leaving faint marks.Although it is not obvious, it is a particularly big deal for women.
"According to your description, the sent people did find your parents, which is not good news."
Tonghua's hands trembled twice, then they clasped tightly together, and nodded vigorously, "I want to know."
"Half a year after you disappeared, your mother died of depression, and your father squatted outside the gate of the government all year round. Now he is half crazy, and all his family property has been taken away by relatives." After wiping the corners of his eyes, he whispered, "Father is still there?"
Wen Liang glanced at the message, "Since that's the case, you still want to go home?"
Tonghua nodded vigorously, and couldn't help crying, "Mother died because of the servant, and father went crazy because of it. If the servant doesn't go home, it's like a pig or a dog."
Wen Liang nodded, and summoned Lu Yi, "Give her the 100 taels of silver." Then he looked at Tong Hua, "You have already been brought into the capital, and your slave status will disappear automatically. This money should be enough for the two of you Find a foothold to settle down. The kidnapping in Jiangnan is indeed being investigated, and before you know it, no one will harass you. What happens after that is entirely up to you."
Tonghua knelt down and kowtowed fiercely. Just half a year ago, she never dreamed that there would be such a day.The news I learned now is sad, but at least my father is still there and the family can still be reunited. It is a blessing.
Luyi took the emotionally broken Tonghua down, Wen Liang carefully watched the news of the return, and soon got some content.The people he sent were not only responsible for Tonghua, but also tried to investigate the trend of trafficking in Jiangnan.What Wen Liang asked was not to scare the snake even if the clues were lost, so he didn't get a lot of news.
It is enough for warmth and coolness.
There must be people in the court who are behind the scenes and fueling the flames.Otherwise, it wouldn't be so popular. The huge profits in this matter are abnormal, and it is normal for someone to intervene.
Wen Liang closed her eyes, leaned on the back of the chair and thought seriously, but this kind of behavior was more disgusting than usual.Not only the trafficked person suffers, but the whole family suffers immediately.
The movement of Luyi coming in caused Wen Liang to open his eyes again. Seeing Luyi pleading guilty, Wen Liang waved her hand to stop her, and suddenly remembered something, "Luyi, how old are you? Where's the bronze sparrow?"
Wen Liang has never paid attention to this kind of thing, it is only from Tonghua that she realizes that in ancient times, getting married early was a common thing.According to the situation of Luyi and Bronze Sparrow, it may be time.
Lu Yi bowed her body and said, "My maidservant is eighteen years old, Tongque is the same age as my maidservant."
Wen Liang nodded, and said again, "I never thought of this before. Now that you and Tongque have reached the age, do you have someone in mind? If you want to get married, you can talk to me directly, don't waste time."
Lu Yi never expected that Wen Liang would think of this again, and immediately said in a hurry, "Sir, this servant does not want to marry." Lu Yi is Wen Liang's personal maid, no matter how favored she is, she is still a servant in the eyes of outsiders human.
In Luyi's situation, she either married a family in the mansion and had children, or found a down-and-out family outside the mansion.She admires Mr. Gao Jie, so she is naturally willing to serve him, but after getting married, she has to serve those stinky men, and Lu Yi is not willing at all.She would rather never get married in this life, and just serve her husband peacefully.
Wen Liang didn't force her, she just nodded after getting Lu Yi's answer, and said, "You can ask about the Tongque, and if you have any ideas, you can tell me directly."
Mr. Lu Jian spoke softly, let go of the tension in his heart, and nodded with a smile.
This is the reason why she likes to stay by her husband's side, even if she is just a servant girl, the husband respects her opinion very much.
Unfortunately……
Luyi came out of the house. If Lord Baylor really had such thoughts, I don't know how the husband will deal with it.
The thought that flashed across her mind made Lu Yi stop her pace, wondering if she should turn around and tell her husband about it at this moment.Everything is her guess, if she guesses wrong, it will be a bad thing.
His movement woke up Luyi who was waiting outside, and after a while, Luyi came in in the dark, and then lit the candle on the table, "What's wrong, sir?"
It was also the first time for Wen Liang to wake up so early, he rubbed his forehead and said, "It's nothing, I had a dream." He seldom dreams, even if he had dreams occasionally, he immediately forgot them when he woke up.
The same is true of today's dream. Wen Liang couldn't remember the content of the dream, but woke up from the dream the moment the dream ended. It was indeed a rare experience.
Wen Liang got up and put on some clothes, and drove Lu Yi back to sleep again, but he himself lost sleepiness, walked to the bookshelf to choose a book for himself, and then slowly returned to the bed, leaning against the bed Start reading a book.
After looking at it for a long time, Xu Shi's sleepiness that had been suppressed just now invaded again, and when Wen Liang was awakened by the book that fell on the ground, it was already the time for him to get up in the past.
Wen Liang bent down to pick up the book, patted the dust carefully, and noticed that she was a little top-heavy.He raised his hand and touched his forehead, but he didn't notice anything unusual, and said a few more words to himself, his nasal tone was normal, and he changed his clothes as usual.Lu Yi just brought in the copper basin at this time, and waited for Wen Liang to wash her hands and face before asking someone to bring in the meal.
Wen Liang ate the clear porridge, neither salty nor bland, he couldn't taste anything, quickly finished the last two or three sips, wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief and stood up.
Lu Yi noticed that Wen Liang's appetite didn't seem to be very good, but it was only two or three mouthfuls less than before, so she didn't think about other places.
Today's warm and cool things will be moved from the outer study to the small courtyard again, so from the early morning, the small courtyard began to move.Most of the valuable things were moved to the warehouse in the small courtyard yesterday, and the things Wen Liang used to move this morning.
So after breakfast, Wen Liang planned to leave the house.
At first, it was Zhu Bao who followed Wen Liang out of the house. Since Zhu Bao died, the person who often followed Wen Liang was Lu Yi.It's just that today's affairs need to keep Lu Yi in charge, so she changed to Bronze Sparrow.
Tongque followed Wen Liang out of the house for the first time, so naturally she was careful about everything, for fear of making something that would make Wen Liang angry when she didn't know it.Xu Shi was chased away by Wen Liang because he violated Wen Liang's taboo. Tongque always had a cautious feeling in front of Wen Liang, and seemed very depressed.
His warm eyes glanced at Tongque, and he leaned against the car window and said indifferently, "Just do what you should do, why do you think so much about the others."
Tongque forced a smile and said, "Your servant knows." She also knew her own weakness. It was indeed her mistake at the beginning, but now it is also Tongque's own problem. How to correct it is what she needs to think about. Don't let Wen Liang interfere.
The clatter of horseshoes drew Wen Liang to Zhenshan Pavilion upon seeing it.
There are endless crowds of people in Zhenshan Pavilion. It is a small three-storey building. It is the first time that there are cheap and high-quality goods.
When Wen Liang got out of the car, the thugs guarding the door quickly recognized who it was and rushed to meet him.Wen Liang waved his hand and said, "Go do your own thing, don't worry about me." After he dismissed all the shopkeepers and waiters, he walked around the first floor of Zhenshan Pavilion, then slowly went up to the second floor, and then It was the third floor, and after seeing all the things he wanted to see, Wen Liang found the treasurer of Zhenshan Pavilion.
Wen Liang has always been in charge of outside affairs, until now some affairs have been gradually taken over by others, but he is still an important figure in the eyes of these shopkeepers.
"I want to know why these things are priced so inflatedly?" Wen Liang pointed his fingers vaguely on a few items, and then silently tapped the paper rolled up in his hand, which was reported to the mansion s price.
The big shopkeeper said with a sneer, "Where did the gentleman say, these are naturally in accordance with the rules."
"A glazed cup, you sell it for 25 taels of silver, and the quotation in the mansion is 100 taels. The difference between entering and exiting a set is [-] taels. Let me tell you where the money went." Wen Liang He said slowly, took a sip of the tea here, and put it down again.
Xu Shi had grown a taste in the mansion, but now he is not used to drinking the tea outside.
The big shopkeeper wiped his forehead with a handkerchief, and argued, "First of all, the 25th student must have heard it wrong. The price of this glass cup has always been 50. If anyone really quotes [-] taels, it must be that person who is greedy for ink, sir. But I still remember who it is, and I will immediately tie them up to see Mr.!"
"No need." Wen Liang said indifferently, he asked the big shopkeeper to get out of the way, and gave the second shopkeeper behind him time to talk, "Tell me what's going on?"
The second shopkeeper hesitated for a moment between Wen Liang and the big shopkeeper, then immediately leaned forward and said, "Sir, some items in Zhenshan Pavilion have indeed raised their prices in secret, and the extra silver taels were divided into three. Except for the silver rewards for the waiters who were sold, the rest went into the pocket of the shopkeeper, and the remaining one-fifth was collected by the villain."
Wen Liang glanced at the big shopkeeper with a stagnant face, "You know what I am, since I have come to you, I have evidence in hand, how can someone be so stupid and not know what to do when the time comes?"
The big treasurer, this person can be the big treasurer of Zhenshan Pavilion, he has some connections, Wen Liang vaguely remembers that he seems to be Li's next of kin, this person is also quite quick-witted, and the whole Zhenshan Pavilion is also running under his hands As usual, it is greedy for money.
"Originally, I have suggested to Lord Belle that if the profit of each store can exceed that of previous years, one-twentieth of the excess will be rewarded to the shopkeeper. Lord Belle also agreed to this point." Wen Liang said indifferently. Looking at the shopkeeper, "Tell me, how much is Zhenshan Pavilion's income this year?"
The shopkeeper was limp on the ground, did he lose the watermelon and pick up the sesame seeds?Now he doesn't even have sesame seeds.
Wen Liang directly smashed the first shopkeeper thoroughly, and then kicked the second shopkeeper down as a waiter, and transferred people from other shops to replace the two positions.It was already noon when he came out after processing.
These things are not difficult, but trivial and time-consuming.
Wen Liang touched his stomach, and even though it was noon, he didn't have any appetite at all.He hesitated on the spot for a moment, and chose a teahouse to eat something at random. After sending Tongque and others to eat outside, Wen Liang leaned on his chin and looked at the scenery on the street, casually picking up peanuts.
On the huge table, there was only a plate of peanuts and half a pot of tea, and Wen Liang asked Xiaoer to take the rest to the attendants outside.
Wen Liang felt a little dizzy in his head, maybe it was the result of waking up and falling asleep in the middle of the night. At this moment, his thoughts were drifting, and they fell leisurely on Yinzhen.
To be precise, it fell on the followers of Yinzhen.
Apart from these aides, there are two people who are most helpful to Yinzhen, the writer Longkodo and the warrior Nian Gengyao.In the middle, there is another Li Wei.It's a pity that except for Long Kedo, the rest of these three people have not yet reached the point of exerting their strength. Even Nian Gengyao is still an inconspicuous official in the Imperial Academy.
Maybe something can be found?
Wen Liang thought.
……
In Zhen Baylor's mansion, Yin Zhen is meeting with an unknown official.
Although this person's official position is small, he is quite valued by Yinzhen.The two talked very happily, and the two were suitable.The lower-ranking person is almost heart-pumping, and the higher-ranking person is also nodding frequently.
At noon, after Yinzhen stayed for dinner, he came over for another half an hour before sending someone to the door.
At that time, a carriage stopped at the gate of Zhen Baylor's Mansion, and the attendant with the little official hurriedly avoided, and the little official also stopped following his movement.Seeing a group of people entering from outside the mansion, the little official couldn't help asking, 'Who is this person? "
The servant who led the people said respectfully, "This is Mr. Wen, a staff member in the mansion. Mr. Nian, this way please."
Nian Gengyao thoughtfully followed the servant and left, the group of people who passed by just now remained in his mind. The young man at the head had a cold look, and he was indeed a character.
Wen Liang, who was being naughty, was walking back with a straight face. Although his appearance was normal, he could actually feel that he might really have caught a cold.Fortunately, Tongque is not familiar with Wenliang now, if it were Luyi, she might be excited now.
Wen Liang's steps stopped in front of the outer study, and he suddenly remembered that his room was no longer here.Just when he was about to turn around, Su Peisheng, who was on the porch, happened to see Wen Liang, and wanted to lean down, but when he raised his eyes and saw Wen Liang's appearance, he ran over from a distance.
There was movement behind him, and Wen Liang didn't have any reason to walk away. He turned around and looked at Su Peisheng who was catching up, "What's the matter, Mr. Su?"
Su Peisheng bowed and said, "Sir, are you feeling unwell?"
Originally, he shouldn't be talking too much, Su Peisheng is not Wen Liang's attendant, his own attendant didn't find out about this, and it has nothing to do with Su Peisheng.But after thinking about it these days, he silently discovered a little secret of his master.
Don't let Mr. Wen make any mistakes.
Wen Liang raised his hand to touch his face, and found that the temperature hadn't risen yet, so he opened his eyes blankly and said nonsense, "No problem."
Su Peisheng couldn't bear to expose his lie, "Sir, you are blushing and have a fever, you don't seem to be okay." Wen Liang stood where he was, touched his face doubtfully, there was indeed not much difference in body temperature.
Xu Yinzhen in the room heard Wen Liang's movement, got up and saw Wen Liang and Su Peisheng standing face to face, Wen Liang's face was like peach pink, his eyes were slightly rippling, he didn't seem to be okay.
Yin Zhen came over with a solemn expression, "Since Mr. is sick, why did you go out?"
Wen Liang weighed his words carefully, "A certain person didn't notice the symptoms." He touched his forehead before going out, and he went out only after there was no problem.
Yinzhen realized something, watched Wen Liang raise his hand and put the back of his hand against his forehead, and subconsciously tore off Wen Liang's palm.
very hot.
Wen Liang narrowed his eyes comfortably, Yinzhen's palm was very cool, making him feel comfortable where he was being held.
Huh?
Wen Liang looked down at the palms of the two holding hands seriously, and then raised his eyes after a long while and said slowly, "So, it seems that I really have a fever."
Such a difference in body temperature, in the season of autumn clouds, really cannot be argued by the difference in physique of each person.
Yinzhen sighed helplessly, and looked at Wen Liang's reluctant words with a broken smile, "It would be great if Mr. could think like this in the morning. Walking outside with his sick body for so long, the condition will inevitably get stronger."
Wen Liang's body has always been very good, but every one or two years there will be a big one, and Wen Liang has gotten used to it over the past few years.Seeing what Yinzhen said, he didn't have any idea, "I'm going to see the doctor."
Yinzhen asked Su Peisheng to call the doctor, and looked at Wen Liang's face again, "When you think about seeing the doctor, I'm afraid you'll get dizzy before you agree." He pushed people inside, only waiting for the doctor to finish his diagnosis Only leave when it's cool.
Bronze Sparrow watched from behind as the two masters in front unconsciously held hands and then let go of them unconsciously. She blinked and failed to catch the fleeting thought in her mind, only to feel that there seemed to be something very important that she hadn't thought of.
This kind of thought was fleeting, Tongque couldn't hold on to its tail and didn't think about it anymore, it just waited anxiously outside the door, wanting to slap itself a few times, if Luyi came out with her, it would be more careful than her.
Wen Liang sat on the upper right side, and Yinzhen sat next to him, looking at Wen Liang's half-closed eyes, he said, "Do you feel dizzy, sir?"
Wen Liang nodded, and opened his eyes again, "Master, everything outside has been dealt with. After careful consideration, with Mr. Wu's ability, he should be able to play a role by sending out to assist a minister. Stay in the mansion to deal with him. It’s an overkill.” Dai Duo is also the same, but when Yin Zhen planned to release him a few months ago, he had already released Dai Duo.
Yinzhen looked at Wen Liang struggling to think with a funny face, "Since Mr. is not feeling well, don't think about so many things, it's better to rest first."
Wen Liang put on a serious face, "I'm fine."
Yinzhen nodded half-heartedly, if Wen Liang could not speak with such a blushing face, it would be more convincing.
Wen Liang's face is clear and handsome, with little expression on his face, and he often stays indoors, so he has always been very fair.Once there is any difference on the surface, it is especially obvious.People who are indifferent and indifferent in daily life are dyed with pink and tender colors, which always have a different taste.
Dr. Li came over soon, and he had dealt with Wen Liang a lot in these years, and Wen Liang didn't really want to see Dr. Li's kind and kind face.
After Dr. Li cheerfully took Wen Liang's pulse, he said to Yinzhen, "Mr. Wen's condition is not very serious, it's just that he caught a cold in the middle of the night, and he will be fine after taking the medicine for a few days."
Wen Liang highlighted the words "medicine for a few days" in his mind, and before he drank the medicine, he felt bitter in his mouth and couldn't eat anything.
Dr. Li continued, "It's best to drink something light these days, but you have to eat."
Wen Liang watched his nose, mouth and heart without speaking.
Yinzhen didn't say anything, just asked Dr. Li to prescribe the medicine, and then stared at Wen Liang personally and took the prescribed medicine package back.Wen Liang returned to the small courtyard with a serious face, the first thing she did was to make Lu Yi boil the medicine, she was so startled that Lu Yi thought something happened, and felt very guilty when she found out the ins and outs from Tongque.
When Mr. Wen woke up last night, she shouldn't have followed his advice and went back. She must have caught a cold at that time.
Wen Liang walked around outside, but just felt a little uncomfortable, but after returning to the house, he became top-heavy, and could only lie on the bed for a few days to rest.
Emperor Kangxi in the palace also knew the news not long after, and soon sent Liang Jiugong to check on Wen Liang's situation for him.
At that time, Wen Liang was wearing a blanket and basking in the sun in the yard. Before he noticed Liang Jiugong, Liang Jiugong noticed the difference in Wenliang's yard first.After all, the bookstore is indeed too eye-catching.After finally looking away from the study room, Liang Jiugong was startled by Wen Liang's clumsy appearance again.
After a while, Liang Jiugong worked hard to hold back his laughter, and then bowed and said, "Slave Liang Jiugong..." Before he finished speaking, Wen Liang raised his head to look at him, Liang Jiugong really couldn't hold back now Smile, you can only control the spread of the smile on your face, absolutely not daring to laugh out loud.
Mr. Wen was lumped into balls with a cold expression on his face.
The contrast is really too great.
Wen Liang nodded lightly, looked at Liang Jiugong and said, "Eunuch Liang, please get up." He looked down at himself again, and said indifferently, "Forgive Wen Liang for not being able to get up."
Liang Jiugong nodded with a smile. He knew Wen Liang's temper, so he didn't take it seriously, and it was indeed difficult for Wen Liang to stand up.
"The servant is here to visit Mr. Long Live, and he is very worried when he learns that Mr. Long Live is sick." Liang Jiugong stood in front of Wen Liang, shaking the dust, and said a few words before Wen Liang asked him to sit down. There also happened to be stone benches.
Liang Jiugong carefully sat on half of his buttocks, and before he could sit still, Wen Liang asked, "Move back, it's better not to sit like this." The clear and cold voice made Liang Jiugong sit back again. It is indeed much more comfortable than before.
Wen Liang pursed her lips and said, "There is nothing serious about this."
It seems to be serious, but after drinking the medicine for a day, the temperature and cooling condition has mostly improved, but I still feel a little afraid of the cold.The sun is comfortable today, Wen Liang came out to bask in the sun, and before he could see it, he was caught by Yinzhen, and then Yinzhen directed Lvyi to wrap Wen Liang into such a lump and put it outside to dry.
It is indeed much more comfortable to be warm.Wen Liang thought expressionlessly.
Liang Jiugong smiled and chatted with Wen Liang about homework for a long time, and then went back happily physically and mentally.Somehow, after accepting the blunt way in which Mr. Wen speaks, talking to Mr. Wen is a kind of comfortable enjoyment.This may be the reason why Long Live Lord likes Wen Liang more and more.
After Wen Liang sent someone to send Liang Jiugong away, he leaned back on the back of the chair and turned the pages of the book with both hands with difficulty, leaving only two hands exposed outside the blanket.After finally finishing the half of the book on her lap, Wen Liang called Lu Yi over with a loud voice.
"Untie it." Wen Liang looked at Lu Yi with burning eyes, and Lu Yi pursed her lips and smiled, "Do you want to go back inside, sir?"
Seeing Wen Liang nodded, Lu Yi and Tongque put away the blanket together, Wen Liang stretched his body on the spot, and then returned to the house with the book.
It was indeed colder inside the room than outside, Wen Liang silently put on another coat, turned around and sat down in front of the desk, at the same time took out the things Wen Liang wanted from the bottom shelf.
The thick stack is full of information about Western countries written by Wen Liang. Although Wen Liang doesn't remember much, it can be regarded as clear after all.Starting from the UK, I wrote down whatever I thought of, and the accumulation of rewritten content is not too small to this day.
Wen Liang was carefully looking at the rewritten content, before he could start writing again, there was some movement outside the room, Wen Liang looked up at the greenery that came in.Luyi came in with a troubled look, and said cautiously, "Sir, Elder Brother Fourteen is here and said he wanted to see you."
The fourteenth elder brother is the master in name, and now that Yinzhen is not around, Yinzhen's request cannot be refused.Wen Liang stood up, "Where is he?"
Lu Yi said, "We've arrived at the Flower Hall."
Wen Liang frowned, turned back behind the screen and changed clothes, then came out, and said calmly, "Let's go."
Luyi's worry is not unfounded, Yinzhen specially chooses when Yinzhen is not present, in order to avoid the fourth brother meeting Wen Liang openly, although Luyi doesn't know why the fourteenth elder brother wants to meet Wen Liang, But the conflict between the fourteenth elder brother and the husband was not once or twice.
The reason why Yinzhen didn't rush directly to the Wenliang courtyard proved that he was still a little in awe of Yinzhen, lest the fourth brother be taught too hard by him when he came back.However, when he sat leisurely at the head and saw Wen Liang coming from the door calmly, the feeling of being tickled by him came back again.
Spending these days in the martial arts arena, Yinzhen really honed his fists very well.
"Mr. Wen, you're finally here." Yinzhen looked at Wen Liang with a half-smile, but didn't let him just stand there, looking at his flushed face, Yinzhen couldn't act like this things to come.
His eyes fell on Luyi who was behind Wen Liang, "Go out." As soon as the prince's coercion came out, Luyi glanced at Wen Liang under great pressure, and went out with a pale face after receiving his signal.
"Master Fourteen has something to ask, just be straightforward, there is no need to use this method." Wen Liang coughed twice, and said indifferently.
Yinzhen sneered, "If you are the kind of person who can honestly explain things clearly, I don't have to bother you so much." The more he talked, the more dissatisfied he became, and he looked at Wen Liang and said, "Tell yourself, how many times have you met? , How many questions did you answer that Grandpa asked?"
Wen Liang said calmly, "If you can tell the fourteenth master, you will naturally tell the fourteenth master, and if you can't, you can't tell it."
Yinzhen snorted coldly, "You are toasting and not eating fine wine." He seemed to want to make a move.
"This is Zhenbeiler's mansion, not the residence of the Fourteenth Lord. I think that the Fourteenth Lord knows how to treat people with courtesy." Wen Liang took the tea in hand to moisten his throat, and said slowly, "This is not the Fourteenth Lord's. Naturally, my subordinates will not tell you everything." He said it calmly, and Yinzhen felt uncomfortable listening.
"How on earth did you win Huang Ama's favor?" Yinzhen glanced at Wen Liang up and down, completely unable to see why Emperor Kangxi loved Wen Liang so much.It's okay to say that there is something special about Wen Liang, but apart from his performance during the southern tour, Yin Zhen really can't see anything.
However, after seeing Emperor Kangxi getting along with Wen Liang in the palace a few days ago, Yinzhen realized something was wrong.
Emperor Kangxi had always been fond of Western objects, so he would often recruit these Western painters when talking about Western portraits.But besides the prince, there were only a few people who were lucky enough to get the portrait of Emperor Kangxi, not even the fourth brother.
Wen Liang is the staff member of the fourth brother's mansion, how can He De get this kind of treatment?
He is not the only one who is suspicious, Yinzhen knows that there are other brothers who are suspicious of this matter at this moment, but Yinzhen's silent appearance can't detect anything at all.Yinzhen was also itchy in his heart, so he ran directly because Zhen Beiler's mansion would not reject him, trying to attack Wen Liang directly.
Wen Liang pursed his lips and looked at Yinzhen, who had grown from an irritable child at the beginning to an even more irritable older child, with a cool tone, "I also know the answer that Fourteenth Master wants to know. Maybe Fourteenth Master can get the answer from Grandpa." .”
Yinzhen muttered, "If I get the answer from the fourth brother, I need to ask you specially?" The things Yinzhen didn't want to say were like putting a lock on his mouth, which couldn't be picked no matter what.
Wen Liang said indifferently, "Since this is the case, it proves that Lord Fourteen is not trustworthy."
Yinzhen's expression turned cold, his eyes were sharp like knives, "Keep your mouth shut!"
Wen Liang's expression remained the same, looking into Yinzhen's eyes, "Master Fourteen might as well ask himself, if he got the answer from someone now, how many people would immediately get the same answer from Master Fourteen easily?"
Yinzhen gritted his teeth.
The cool words continued, "I don't know what my master thinks, but my fourteenth master doesn't seem to express his position, and I don't know what I shouldn't say."
Yinzhen stood up from his seat, walked to Wen Liang, stared at the expressionless young man and said word by word, "Do you really think that the Lord dare not touch you?"
"I don't think so." Wen Liang drank the last bit of sweet rain, looked into Yinzhen's furious eyes, "I just stepped on the sore foot of Master Fourteen."
Yinzhen straightened up, and said angrily, "Who do I have a good relationship with, and what does it have to do with my fourth brother?!"
"Relationships with property and life in danger!"
Yinzhen was silent.
Wen Liang turned the teacup leisurely and contentedly, observing the condition of the tea leaves in the teacup. After a long time, she heard Yinzhen who was standing in front of her say, "Is it really this far?" Ryo didn't mind giving him an answer.
Seriously and sincerely answer.
"Why don't the Fourteenth Master go back to the palace and ask the Concubine De?"
Yinzhen looked up at him suddenly, Wen Liang didn't flinch, "I think Empress Concubine De is willing to tell you the answer."
At least before the prince was abolished, Yinzhen never had any thoughts about the throne. He was too young and seemed completely out of touch with the throne.But as time went by, no one knew that Emperor Kangxi could stay on the throne for so many years. When Yinhu was reprimanded by Emperor Kangxi, it seemed possible for the younger elder brothers behind him.
Wen Liang doesn't mind bringing this process forward.
It depends on what Yinzhen's choice is, no matter what it is, you can't escape those few consequences.
……
When Yinzhen left, he left with gritted teeth.He could indeed kill Wen Liang with a single knife, but the importance that Emperor Kangxi and Yinzhen attached to Wen Liang made Yinzhen cast a wary weapon. He originally wanted to force Wen Liang, but Wen Liang was a man who would never bend over. The appearance of Xiao Shengfeng is really incomprehensible.
The most hateful thing should be this person's words.It was so sharp that it pierced one's heart and lungs, and one wished to throw his words back at him again.
After Wen Liang defeated Yinzhen with words, he sat in the flower hall showing a touch of fatigue. After all, he was not feeling well, and Yinzhen was not a brat, and Wen Liang was not as calm as he appeared on the surface.
Lu Yi went in after Yin Zhen left, and seeing Wen Liang's face paler, she said anxiously, "Sir, this servant will call the doctor over again."
Wen Liang raised her hand to stop Lu Yi's movements, and said softly, "No need, just go back and rest."
After returning to the house, Wen Liang put on his clothes and lay down to rest. Lu Yi carefully covered Wen Liang with the quilt, and then retreated to the outside to guard, making up his mind that this time, he must follow the husband all the time. yes.
Wen Liang fell asleep directly to the willow tip on the moon, and when he opened his eyes, the whole room was silent, as dark as a curtain.He touched his forehead, and pressed the bedding with his palm to indicate that his body temperature was really normal, then lifted the bedding and sat up straight.
This little movement alarmed Lu Yi, who had been waiting carefully outside. She rushed in and lit the candle while asking. She was afraid that the sudden light would not be acceptable to her husband, so she turned sideways and placed it on the candle. on the side.
After Wen Liang took a nap, he felt a little lighter.He also has an appetite for the food that Wen Liang brings up next.Seeing that Wen Liang was finally willing to eat, Lu felt a lot more at ease.
After dinner, Wen Liang was very awake due to the afternoon rest, walked around the courtyard a few times to digest food, and then went back to the house.Perhaps it was a correct understanding of his own body, this time Wen Liang didn't intend to write anything at his desk, after wandering in front of the bookshelf for a while and found that he didn't find anything he was interested in, Wen Liang went to the bookstore next door.
The bookstore is full of specially sent books, which is different from the library in the mansion.The library is broad and wide, while the library is small but refined.Now Wen Liang is doing the same to the people serving in the courtyard.Originally, except for Luyi, Tongque, and Tunghua, among the people Yinzhen sent, he only left one servant who guarded the gate, and he sent the rest away.
Wen Liang stayed in the study until late afternoon, and then Lu Yi begged her to come out and go back to the room to rest.
The next day, Wenliang completely returned to normal, and after taking the medicine that should be taken for two or three days, it stopped.At the same time, the staff sent by Wen Liang also got the news.
Not good news.
Wen Liang asked Lvyi to call Tunghua over. Since Tunghua came to the small courtyard, she has been working peacefully. She has never applied makeup or talked to outsiders, so she has been silent all the time. Hearing the crying, I always thought that the outbreak that day was false.
Wen Liang looked at Tong Hua standing in front of her, the wound on her face had healed, leaving faint marks.Although it is not obvious, it is a particularly big deal for women.
"According to your description, the sent people did find your parents, which is not good news."
Tonghua's hands trembled twice, then they clasped tightly together, and nodded vigorously, "I want to know."
"Half a year after you disappeared, your mother died of depression, and your father squatted outside the gate of the government all year round. Now he is half crazy, and all his family property has been taken away by relatives." After wiping the corners of his eyes, he whispered, "Father is still there?"
Wen Liang glanced at the message, "Since that's the case, you still want to go home?"
Tonghua nodded vigorously, and couldn't help crying, "Mother died because of the servant, and father went crazy because of it. If the servant doesn't go home, it's like a pig or a dog."
Wen Liang nodded, and summoned Lu Yi, "Give her the 100 taels of silver." Then he looked at Tong Hua, "You have already been brought into the capital, and your slave status will disappear automatically. This money should be enough for the two of you Find a foothold to settle down. The kidnapping in Jiangnan is indeed being investigated, and before you know it, no one will harass you. What happens after that is entirely up to you."
Tonghua knelt down and kowtowed fiercely. Just half a year ago, she never dreamed that there would be such a day.The news I learned now is sad, but at least my father is still there and the family can still be reunited. It is a blessing.
Luyi took the emotionally broken Tonghua down, Wen Liang carefully watched the news of the return, and soon got some content.The people he sent were not only responsible for Tonghua, but also tried to investigate the trend of trafficking in Jiangnan.What Wen Liang asked was not to scare the snake even if the clues were lost, so he didn't get a lot of news.
It is enough for warmth and coolness.
There must be people in the court who are behind the scenes and fueling the flames.Otherwise, it wouldn't be so popular. The huge profits in this matter are abnormal, and it is normal for someone to intervene.
Wen Liang closed her eyes, leaned on the back of the chair and thought seriously, but this kind of behavior was more disgusting than usual.Not only the trafficked person suffers, but the whole family suffers immediately.
The movement of Luyi coming in caused Wen Liang to open his eyes again. Seeing Luyi pleading guilty, Wen Liang waved her hand to stop her, and suddenly remembered something, "Luyi, how old are you? Where's the bronze sparrow?"
Wen Liang has never paid attention to this kind of thing, it is only from Tonghua that she realizes that in ancient times, getting married early was a common thing.According to the situation of Luyi and Bronze Sparrow, it may be time.
Lu Yi bowed her body and said, "My maidservant is eighteen years old, Tongque is the same age as my maidservant."
Wen Liang nodded, and said again, "I never thought of this before. Now that you and Tongque have reached the age, do you have someone in mind? If you want to get married, you can talk to me directly, don't waste time."
Lu Yi never expected that Wen Liang would think of this again, and immediately said in a hurry, "Sir, this servant does not want to marry." Lu Yi is Wen Liang's personal maid, no matter how favored she is, she is still a servant in the eyes of outsiders human.
In Luyi's situation, she either married a family in the mansion and had children, or found a down-and-out family outside the mansion.She admires Mr. Gao Jie, so she is naturally willing to serve him, but after getting married, she has to serve those stinky men, and Lu Yi is not willing at all.She would rather never get married in this life, and just serve her husband peacefully.
Wen Liang didn't force her, she just nodded after getting Lu Yi's answer, and said, "You can ask about the Tongque, and if you have any ideas, you can tell me directly."
Mr. Lu Jian spoke softly, let go of the tension in his heart, and nodded with a smile.
This is the reason why she likes to stay by her husband's side, even if she is just a servant girl, the husband respects her opinion very much.
Unfortunately……
Luyi came out of the house. If Lord Baylor really had such thoughts, I don't know how the husband will deal with it.
The thought that flashed across her mind made Lu Yi stop her pace, wondering if she should turn around and tell her husband about it at this moment.Everything is her guess, if she guesses wrong, it will be a bad thing.
