Chapter 2
After bumping on the horse for an hour, Yan Li finally entered a Zhuangzi before dawn.This village is named Fenglianzhuang, because Zhuangzi is surrounded by water on three sides, and lotus roots are planted in the water. In spring and summer, the endless green lotus leaves are swaying with the wind, and in midsummer, lotus flowers are all over the pond. Therefore, Fenglianzhuang got its name.
Yan Li reined in the horse in front of a second entrance courtyard in Zhuangdongtou, turned himself off the horse first, then gently helped Daiyu and Zijuan off the horse, and finally came to the door and knocked lightly three times.After a while, the door opened with a "squeak", and an old man with half-white beard and hair hurried out.
"My lord, you are back!" The old man was obviously used to Yan Li's return in the middle of the night, so he was not surprised, but was surprised when he saw two young women standing behind him.
Yan Li ordered: "Uncle Li, go inside and wake up Aunt Li and Qing'er, come out and help the two girls go in to change clothes and rest." After finishing speaking, he turned around and led the horse into the yard to tie it up.
Uncle Li quickly went back to the courtyard to call for people. After a while, Aunt Li and Qing'er came out in a hurry. One of them supported the other and sighed: "Oh, the two girls are tired after driving all the way, let's go to the house and have a rest!"
Daiyu and Zijuan were already thrown up by the carriage, and then they sat on the horse and were jolted to death. Now they have lost the strength to walk.Aunt Li and Qing'er dragged and tugged for a long time, but they didn't go far. Later, it was Yan Li who came, squatted down, picked up Daiyu and sent her to the backyard to lie down on the bed, and then turned around and carried Zijuan back to the collapsed place. Come on, and then ordered: "First change the clothes of the two girls, and then get some face water to wash up, let them sleep for a while." After that, he stepped out of the room and went to change and wash himself.
The front yard looks away from the room.After Yan Li simply changed his clothes and washed his clothes, he called Uncle Li in and explained: "These two girls are the sister of a friend of mine surnamed Lin and the maid Zijuan. Because his brother has provoked enemies, he is afraid that his sister will be implicated. Please leave me alone for the time being." Take care of it for a while. In this way, I will work hard for you for a while."
Li Bo laughed and said, "My lord, what you said is a shame on this slave. The young master gave the old slaves their lives, not to mention serving the two girls, even if there are two more young masters, the old slave will definitely do his best." Do your best to serve, and you can rest assured, young master."
Yan Li nodded, and then instructed: "Try not to mention the matter of the master and servant living in our house with outsiders; if you really can't hide it, tell outsiders that it is my cousin who came here to play, and stay for a while. Walk."
Li Bo agreed one by one, and Yan Li felt relieved.After tossing all night, I was a little tired at this time, so I lay down on the bed with my clothes and prepared to have a rest.Unexpectedly, as soon as he closed his eyes, Qing'er asked softly outside the door: "My lord, have you rested yet?"
Yan Li opened his eyes and asked, "What's the matter?"
Qing'er replied: "Among the two girls brought back by the master, the one dressed up by the master refused to change her clothes, refused to wash up, and kept crying. Aunt Li and I couldn't persuade you, so we had to go back and forth to ask for a favor. Show me."
After hearing this, Yan Li knew that Daiyu had abandoned her because of Baoyu, so he got up and opened the door and said, "I'll go and have a look." Qing'er hurriedly followed him to Daiyu's resting room in the backyard.
Before entering the room, he heard Daiyu's mournful sobs, Yan Li frowned unknowingly.Seeing Yan Li coming, Aunt Li hurriedly said to Zijuan who was bending over before the collapse: "My son is here!" Zijuan hurriedly stood up, went to the door nervously, and begged: "Master, my girl loves to cry, She was frightened again this time, and she won't be able to recover for a while, your lord has a lot, please spare her this time."
Yan Li glanced up, and saw that Daiyu was still wearing the clothes she had when she came here, and her hair was in a messy bun. She was curled up like a shrimp, lying face-to-face, covering her face and weeping. brow.Although she understood the root of her sadness, she still felt uncomfortable in the end, but it also hindered Daiyu from going through the heartbreak, her grief was too much, and it was hard to blame her, so she reluctantly persuaded: "Since he has abandoned you, What's the use of you crying? Can he hear you? Or can he take you back? Oh, don't dream, wake up as soon as possible, people now have a wife and son, why do they care about you?"
After Daiyu heard this, she wept even more miserably. Zijuan knew Daiyu's deepest heart, and wanted to stop Yan Li's abruptness, but she didn't dare, so she came to Daiyu's collapse anxiously, and wiped her tears with a silk .
Yan Li also knew that his words were serious just now, so he could only slow down his tone and sigh softly: "You are not happy in your heart, just cry twice as much as you want, but crying for a long time is not good for your body, especially now that you are my wife. You should obey the rules here; besides, if you don’t think about yourself, you should also think about your maid, she willingly followed you into my wolf den, you have to let her stop and catch her breath Right? At least you should change into clean clothes and have a hot meal, right? Could it be that you want to drag her into your back if you don’t want to live? Then you, master, are too cruel!”
After finishing speaking, he turned his head and told Zicuckoo: "Wait a little longer, if she still doesn't listen to persuasion, you don't care about her, let her make trouble, and she will stop when she is tired. You go to wash first, and turn around Let Aunt Li cook a bowl of hot porridge for you to drink first, so as not to hurt yourself!" After speaking, she turned away from looking at Daiyu and left.
Zijuan listened to Yan Li's words, she couldn't help being surprised, thinking to herself, this man clearly looked like a robber when he robbed them, but he changed his clothes and took off his veil, and he looked so handsome He looks like an upright gentleman, especially what he said, although the words are a little heavy, but they are reasonable, not to mention Daiyu, even she is not moved when she hears it.Thinking of this, most of the fear of the future in my heart has weakened, I just hope that Daiyu can also listen to a few words of persuasion, and stop the mourning as soon as possible.
Strange to say, not long after Yan Li left, Daiyu gradually weakened her grief, but she still refused to change clothes and wash up.At this time, Aunt Li brought in a tray with two bowls of white rice porridge and some small pickles on it, and said to Zijuan: "It's late at night, it's too late to cook, so let's use a bowl of porridge first, girl, don't dislike it." , I will cook the meals in detail tomorrow morning."
Zijuan didn't dare to dislike her, she hurriedly got up to thank her, and Aunt Li went.Zijuan hurriedly came before the collapse and persuaded Daiyu to get up and have a drink of hot porridge, but Daiyu refused, so she let Zijuan eat first, and Zijuan had to wash up briefly. He dozed off on his side.
After tossing and tossing all night, startled and frightened, Zijuan was also really tired. She fell asleep after taking a nap, and only woke up with a jolt when the window edge turned white.The red candles in the house had long been extinguished, but thanks to the moonlight coming in from outside, it was not too dark.Zijuan hurriedly looked at Daiyu under the moonlight, and saw that she was sleeping soundly, but her cheeks were flushed abnormally, and her forehead was also dripping with cold sweat. Withdrawing her hand, she frantically found a towel, soaked it and wrung it dry, and placed it on her forehead.
Daiyu's body was already delicate, and she couldn't endure hard work, let alone being frightened and then suffered a fatal blow, so it was reasonable to have a fever.It's just that Zijuan suffers, not to mention the unfamiliarity of people and places, and we have to beware that this uncertain master will have evil intentions for them, especially before dawn, and I dare not disturb them, for fear that the master will blame them, and I don't know what will happen to them end.
After thinking about it like this, he finally didn't dare to say anything, but he watched her with good eyesight, and changed the towel on his forehead every now and then, praying that Daiyu's fever would go away quickly.
Finally, it was daylight, and the sound of Li Bochen picking up water was heard in the front yard. After a while, he heard Aunt Li lighting a fire and cooking in the kitchen in the backyard, but Daiyu still had no signs of abating her fever. He also started talking nonsense.Zijuan was really scared, so she ran to the kitchen and begged Aunt Li, "Auntie, my girl burned for half a night, and now she has burned nonsense, please take pity on us, and say something nice to the master. Can you ask a doctor to look at my girl?"
Aunt Li was taken aback, and complained: "You girl, your girl burned for half a night, why did you make a noise? What if the fire turns out to be good or bad?" While talking, as soon as she put down the live juice, Just run to the front yard.After only two steps, he quickly turned back and persuaded Zijuan, "Don't worry, my young master is proficient in medical skills, better than the doctors invited outside. I went back to him and asked him to visit your master. Go back and watch." Zijuan was very pleasantly surprised when she heard this, and hurriedly thanked her a few times before returning to look at Daiyu in a hurry.
In the front yard, just after Yan Li finished dressing, he heard Aunt Li's reply outside the door, and immediately followed Aunt Li to Daiyu's room without thinking about washing up.Seeing Yan Li approaching, Zijuan hurriedly covered Daiyu's wrist with one of her handkerchiefs, then got up and stepped aside.Yan Li did not shy away from it, first observed Daiyu's complexion, and then lightly put his hand on Daiyu's wrist to feel her pulse.
Zijuan stood anxiously aside, seeing Yan Li's serious face, she asked nervously, "Master, is my girl okay?"
Yan Li didn't answer, but asked about Daiyu's previous illnesses, the pills she usually took, etc., then stood up and said to Zijuan, "Your master is weak in nature, and he was tired all the way and was frightened. Infected with wind and cold, it leads to fever, and the fever can be reduced after taking a few doses of medicine. It's just that she has a heavy mind and is overly sad, so she is prone to depression and illness again, you have to enlighten her."
Zijuan saw that Yan Li spoke clearly and did not intend to make things difficult for them, so she knelt down and kowtowed to him while secretly rejoicing.Yan Li waved his hand and said: "There are not so many rules here, you just need to serve your girl well." After finishing speaking, he turned his head and told Aunt Li, "Go and make a bowl of brown sugar ginger soup and serve it hot. It’s good for her to sweat after taking it. I’ll write another prescription, and let Uncle Li grab the medicine and cook it for her to swallow.” After saying that, he turned around and left.
