The next day, when the genius was bright, Lily prepared a simple and low-key Green Peng carriage in the second gate according to Nangong Yue's order, and also told the people to carry light.
Nangong Yue only took three servant girls, Baihui Lily and thrush.
By the time they arrived at the second gate, Zhu Xing, dressed in a simple blue cotton dress, had already led a horse to wait by the carriage, and Nangong Yue saw another person who was surprised.
"Zhou Dacheng, why are you here?" Lily blurted out in surprise.
It turned out that Zhou Dacheng was the coachman sitting in front of the carriage wearing a simple grey suit and a hat.
"I've seen the princess." Zhou Dacheng took the whip and curtly clasped his fist to Nangong Yue. Then he said with a bold smile, "I've been choking me up these days. I'll go out with you to have fun."
The so-called "loose wind" is aimed at prisoners who are in prison! Lily's face suddenly black, heart: you want to let go, don't pull on others!
For Zhou Dacheng's offer, Nangong Yue of course didn't mind, so a carriage and Zhu Xing's horse set off in such light.
Liuhezhuang is in the outskirts of Wangdu, which is only a dozen miles away. The air in this suburb is really fresh. Although it is late autumn, the autumn wind is rustling, many trees and shrubs are turning yellow and the flowers are withering, but the lily and thrush are still very excited and whispering from time to time.
In less than an hour, the speed of the carriage gradually slowed down. Only Zhu Xing's voice came from outside: "princess, there is the liuhezhuang in front of you."
Anyway, Nangong Yue didn't get too stiff and said, "stop, I want to get off and walk."
Servant girls, the first thing to warn her is to help her out
Zhu Xing was stunned, but he didn't respond. Lily and thrush were already smiling and said, "yes, little lady!"
In fact, Nangong Yue's childish face, if not for her hairstyle, would not look like a little lady, more like a girl from a wealthy family.
Zhu Xing also got off the horse and walked slowly with nangongyue and the three maids, while Zhou Dacheng was at the back of the carriage.
As he walked, he looked around.
According to Zhu Xing, more than ten years ago, the king of the south of the old town followed the late emperor to destroy the land, and the former Emperor gave him a pile of gold and silver treasures. However, thinking that the gold and silver treasures were dead and there was no reliable farmland, he bought some Chuang Tzu's property at will, thinking that it would be handed down from generation to generation.
However, the old town of Nanwang soon went to southern Xinjiang, and the Chuang Tzu was not in charge of it. That is to say, he sent some account books and filial piety to Nanjiang every year.
Although the South King of the old town was at will, the Chuang Tzu he bought was really in a very good position. In particular, there is a river beside this piece of good farmland, which seems to be rippling.
The thrush excitedly explains how to bring the river to the field for irrigation when there is little rain, and how to dredge the water in case of flood to avoid flooding the good farmland Nangong Yue was confused, but he finally knew that for the farmers, this place was really the best.
In autumn, the field is a scene of bumper harvest. The endless paddy fields are like paved with gold. A gust of wind will set off waves of gold. Some tenants like farmers are harvesting crops in the fields.
At first glance, Chuang Tzu was unexpectedly prosperous.
Nangong Yue looked at the farmers not far away and said, "let's borrow some water in front of us."
Nangong Yue went out, as her servant girl Baihui three people naturally prepared enough water. Obviously, she just wanted to take the opportunity to talk to the tenants here.
The thrush volunteered to say, "the world Young lady, why don't you go and find a way first
Nangong Yue nodded, thrush trotted to see her body is small and thin, this run is very fast. Lily suddenly said with emotion: "in fact, the root bone and condition of thrush are good, but it's a pity that she is older, otherwise I will teach her martial arts."
Zhou Dacheng, who was driving a carriage, immediately joked at the back: "with your impetuous character, are you willing to be a master?"
Lily is like being stepped on the tail of the cat Xiaobai like blow up hair, was a more impetuous than their own people said impetuous, that is really no reason.
"As if you had been a master!" Lily despised him with his eyes, said Zhou Dacheng really speechless, he really confiscated his apprentice.
I'll take an apprentice back tomorrow! He thought in secret.
Several people said along the way, Nangong Yue heard with a smile. When they came to the small village beside liuhezhuang, the thrushi came out in a hurry, his face was not red and he was breathless and said: "the world Young lady, please follow the maid. "
Zhou Dacheng was left outside the village with his carriage and groom. The rest of the people entered the village.
Although it was daytime, it was quiet in the village. The men were supposed to have gone to work. At a glance, they only occasionally saw some old people and children.
The thrush, who was leading the way, whispered, "young lady, this village should not be rich." After a pause, she explained, "you see, the houses here are old wooden houses. If the farmer had some spare money, he would have built a big house with black bricks and tiles."When thrush said this, Nangong Yue looked at it carefully and found that it was really. At a glance, only the farthest back to the mountain is a big house with green bricks and black tiles. Other families have been wooden houses for decades. If you look closely, you will find that there are many holes and gaps in those boards due to the corrosion of years.
The thrush led them into a family which was only two or three houses away from the entrance of the village. The owner of the house was an old woman in her seventies. Half of her teeth were missing. Her mouth shrank and her face was covered with chrysanthemum like wrinkles.
Although the house is simple and tight, it is clean and tidy. In addition, there is no man in the room, and the woman speaks in a reasonable way, so the thrush chooses this room.
Thrushes should have been ordered in advance. The old woman has prepared water for them, and also loaded a plate of dates. The red fresh dates are full in size. They look like small red lanterns. The fresh appearance can be seen from the jujube trees just outside.
After Nangong Yue sat down, he apologized first: "Granny, I've disturbed you."
"No interruptions, no interruptions." She had never seen a girl like nangongyue who looked like a white jade. She looked like a jade girl in a Guanyin painting. "A lady like a lady comes to my old lady's house to have a rest, and the old woman's broken house is just like light..."
The lily chuckled and said, "it's just a fluffy tree."
"That's right. It's brilliant." The old lady didn't care and nodded.
Nangong Yue ate a jujube, praised: "Granny, your date is really sweet and crisp."
"The date is planted by the old woman herself. If madam likes it, she will pick some for you."
"No more." Nangong Yue said with a smile, "Granny, you sit down and we talk."
The old woman had just got the benefit from thrush. Knowing that nangongyue was a noble man, he must have been rewarded again. So she sat down with a smile on her face.
Nangong Yue seemed to chat with her casually: "Granny, I just saw that the crops outside you are growing really well. It seems that you have another bumper year this year. Congratulations
"Nothing to congratulate." The old lady turned her lips and didn't care, "it's not my own..." She tried to stop.
Thrushi and nangongyue looked at each other, and felt that there was a play in it. Thrushi deliberately said, "even if it's the land of the master's house, after paying the rent, the harvest is finally yours. It's not bad."
Nangong Yue then said: "it's like a Chuang Tzu in Huaibei, because Huaibei was flooded and the whole year's harvest was gone. Ah, I can't force the tenants to death. I have to exempt them from a year's rent. "
The old lady sighed and sighed, "we farmers, who are just looking at the sky and eating, are not like us when they meet a kind-hearted master like my wife." She said half, and then suddenly stopped, listening to the lily and thrush is really itchy.
The old woman looked at the door of the hospital and was sure there was no outsider. Then she lowered her voice and said, "madam, the old lady will complain to you. The master here is more cruel than the blood leech."
Blood leech? Zhu Xing and Baihui both frowned slightly, and felt that the old lady was too ugly to speak.
Nangong Yue didn't take it seriously and asked, "how do you say it?"
"The rent is rising year by year!" This year, I've become very angry! No matter how good the harvest is, we should not hand it over to the owner. Let's all drink from the north and the West. These days, I dare not get sick. If I get sick all my life, I will be unable to live. The other day, the family next door to the old lady sold her eldest daughter... " The old lady said, sighing, just as the saying goes: distant relatives are better than near neighbors. This neighbor's life is like this, which makes people feel sad for the death of a rabbit!
Baihui, Baihui and thrushi gaped with disbelief when they heard that the rent was 50%. Usually, the 30% rent was already the peak, not to mention, the account book sent by Liu Hezhuang showed that the rent was only 20%, and the rent had not been increased in 15 years since the old town south King bought Chuang Tzu. Where did the rest of the difference go? as one can imagine! The manager of Chuang Tzu is bold.
After thinking about it, the thrush deliberately said in an exaggerated tone: "50%? Is that too black hearted? Old lady, is it the manager who deceives the superior and the inferior She looked at Nangong Yue and said, "my wife used to be a bold steward in a Chuang Tzu in the south of the Yangtze River. She just wrote the mulberry silk into tussah silk to report the accounts. Fortunately, last year, we were in charge of the business and went to the south of the Yangtze River to check the accounts, and then we got the right one."
"My old lady is also an old tenant of Chuang Tzu. In the last two years, when the rent had just risen to 40%, we also guessed that it was the steward who cheated on the truth and wanted to go to the master to defend himself But last year, the master sent a group of veterans... " The old woman sighed and seemed to be hesitant.
Lily looked out and said, "old woman, you have soldiers here. It seems that your master must be a big family."
"That's a big family indeed." The old lady looked out cautiously and said in a low voice, "our old master's house is the old Zhennan king who has passed away. Now that the old master has gone, it is said that he passed this place on to the present Zhennan King's son. After that, the rent of this place increased even more fiercely. Last year, the prince sent a disabled veteran to support them. As a result It's not as good as a dog! Compared with them, we are better. "The old woman's words were so shocking that Zhu Xing almost jumped up. I don't know if I should say that the old lady is bad for the reputation of the son of the world, or I should denounce the supervisor for his lawlessness.
Fearing that they would not believe it, the old woman said, "I'm not talking nonsense. As the village knows, those veterans are arranged to reclaim wasteland in the back mountain area. They can only rest for two hours every day. Two meals a day are made of brown rice mixed with bran. It's like pig food. This man is iron rice and steel. If it goes on like this, how can people support it? One of them lost his legs two days ago As a result, he not only did not invite a doctor, but also beat his dry son severely. Up to now, the young man who lacks arms is still in a coma It depends on whether he will survive or not! "
The old woman shook her head and sighed. She only muttered, "do evil."
Nangong Yue's face was as heavy as water. Although he had known that there was something wrong with Chuang Tzu, he didn't expect that his behavior was beyond her expectation. Zhennan Wangfu is far away in southern Xinjiang. This Zhuangzi has been in charge of affairs for 15 years, so that he has raised his courage more and more, which is somewhat of the demeanor of a local emperor.
However, the urgent task is not to find the steward, but to
Nangong Yue calmed down and asked, "Granny, do you know where the sick veteran is now?"
The old woman looked at Nangong Yue suspiciously, wondering what her purpose was.
Seeing this, nangongyue pointed to Baihui and explained: "Granny, I am a servant girl who knows some medical skills. It's hard for me to pass by here, and it's fate. I just wanted her to show the sick veteran a little bit of virtue. "
Many people believed in Buddhism. The old woman read a Buddha with her hands together. She praised Nangong Yue as a Bodhisattva. Then she told her the old soldier's residence.
Nangong Yue ordered the thrush to reward the old lady, and then he left.
The old woman had been sending nangongyue and others to the door, and watched them go deep into the village. As she was about to retreat home, a familiar figure flashed through her eyes. Could you say
She guessed something and wanted to go after nangongyue, but she was afraid of getting into trouble. Finally, she hid in her own house.
At the same time, Baihui and Zhu Xing exchanged a look, and then whispered in Nangong Yue's ear: "princess, someone is following us."
"Let him follow." Nangong Yue said with indifference and continued to walk forward as if nothing had happened.
Soon they followed the dry mud road to the end of the village.
The thrush pointed to a broken house in front of him and said, "young lady, this should be the old soldier's home."
Looking at the broken house in front of you, everyone is frowning. Where is the house, it is the transformation of the pig shed. I'm afraid even the ear room in their house is bigger than this one. It is surrounded by almost rotten boards. There are huge gaps between the boards. I'm afraid the cold wind in winter can't be stopped.
"Let's go in and have a look." Nangong Yue frowned tightly and his face was very ugly.
Baihui and nangongyue are very rare. They are all calm and solemn.
Thrush walked in the front, pushed open the rickety wooden door, and raised a voice: "is there anyone?"
As soon as the door was opened, a burst of dirty air came in, as if the smell of pig manure accumulated over the years had penetrated into every inch of the house.
The thrush could not help covering her nose and thought: where is the place where people live! This steward is really hateful!
The light was dim in the room, not even a window. Only through the gate did the light shine inside. At a glance, they could see a young man with closed eyes lying on the plank, which was too simple to know whether it was a door or a wooden bed. His right arm was empty, his face was blue and swollen, and he was wrapped up with a lot of cloth strips. Blood was seeping under the cloth, which was shocking.
At the edge of the wooden bed, there was an old man with gray hair. His face was lying on the wooden bed, and he could not see clearly. But at a glance, he could see a piece of wood on his right leg, which was obviously used as a prosthetic limb.
Nangongyue and others have known for a long time that the young people have been in a coma for a long time. However, they did not wake up the old people by pushing the door, which made them feel that the situation was not good.
Nangong Yue's face sank and ordered Baihui to check on the young man, while he went to see the old man. His tentacle found that the forehead of the other party was boiling hot.
Not good!
Nangong Yue was about to ask lily to help her to help the old man, but he didn't want to say anything, and his left wrist was caught. When she looked up, she found that the comatose young man opened his eyes and suddenly sat up. His face was blue, swollen and pale, but his eyes were still bright as lightning, as if to pierce people. His right arm was still shackled by Nangong Yue's left wrist.
"Let the world go Young lady Lily was so angry that she let the imperial concubine be attacked secretly. This is a shame to her!
Baihui said, "we are here to help you. Let's play..."
She didn't have a chance to finish her words. Lily had already hit his neck with one hand. In a moment, the other side showed wolf like eyes and glared at Lily fiercely, as if trying to tear her apart, but she could not resist the heavy blow on her body. She closed her eyes and fell down. Since he lost his consciousness, he naturally loosened Nangong Yue's wrist.Finally, lily is not too cruel, entrusted him, did not let him fall on the wooden bed.
"Lily..."
Baihui glared at her, but Lily was right to say: "with a wolf who doesn't trust people, it's better for us to cure them and prove everything with our actions." When he wakes up, do you want to avenge him?
What she said is obviously unreasonable, but there is still some truth. The young man's eyes were really like wolves, not only fierce, but also full of extreme feelings of distrust.
Lily did and did, and it would not help to reprimand her.
Nangong Yue said, "let's help this uncle to another bed first."
At her command, Zhu Xing picked up the disabled old man. Thrush took out a piece of blue cotton cloth from the bag and laid it on the dirty bed board.
This cotton cloth is carried by thrush, in case Nangong Yue is tired and can rest on the ground.
After Zhu Xing settled the old man, Nangong Yue explored the pulse for him.
"Princess, how is his condition?" Zhu Xing asked a little worried. After all, they are the old people who have been in love with Zhou Dacheng.
Nangong Yue said in a deep voice: "he has been working hard for a long time, which leads to a high fever and a coma. First of all, we have to help him get rid of the fever, and then we can take good care of him later She thought for a moment and told Zhu Xing, "Zhu Xing, there are some medicines in the right most drawer of my carriage, as well as some medicinal wine and clean cotton cloth. You can go and get them."
Zhu Xing hesitated for a moment, thinking that Baihui and Baihe were all here, so he took orders.
He took out the needle for his forehead, and then he took out the needle.
Then she went to see the young man: "Baihui, how is his condition?"
Baihui one by one removed the cloth strips on the young man's body, while directing lily to clean up the wound, while frowning: "little lady, his right leg is broken." She paused, and said with some apprehension, "I'll leave it to the maidservant."
Nangong Yue did not immediately agree, but the first examination way: "Baihui, how to deal with fracture?"
Baihui did not hesitate to reply: "clean up the wound, after supporting the bone, the board is fixed."
Nangong Yue nodded with satisfaction, which was agreed.
So, Baihui to deal with, Lily assisted, and she is just in the side of the supervision.
Baihui first pulled a piece of cotton cloth into a cloth strip, and fixed the plank in the leg of the young man with the cloth. At the same time, lily also took care of other wounds on his body. Lily was a martial artist, so he took the wound healing medicine made by Lin Jingchen and painted his face with yellow and green.
At this time, a vague groan came from the side, and the thrush quickly exclaimed, "uncle, are you awake? Do you feel OK? "
The old man slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were still a little muddy, unable to focus.
Nangong Yue went back to his bed, bent over and said gently, "can you hear my voice?"
The other side nodded hard.
Nangong Yue continued: "I just gave you the needle, you don't move, I'll take the needle for you first." Then she skillfully took out the silver needles.
"Ah LAN! Ah lan... " Said the old man eagerly, trying to get up.
Nangong Yue raised his eyebrows and comforted him: "don't worry, young master Alan is OK. My maid has been treating him."
The old man turned and saw that Baihui was dressing ah LAN. He was relieved at last. He clasped his fist and said, "thank you for your help. This time, if it wasn't for madam, I'm afraid our father and son would... " He said that his eyes were moist. "If Alan had an accident, I would never forgive myself. If it wasn't for me, Alan would not come to Wangdu..." At this point, he choked.
"Everything will be OK." Nangong Yue soothed his mood with a soft voice.
The old man took a deep breath and tried to stabilize his mood. But soon he thought of something and said, "madam, you'd better leave here quickly. If this man finds out and tells the steward, I'm afraid it's to trouble you. "
Nangong Yue seems to smile, but she still wants to find trouble in this matter.
Thrush in one side voice way: "uncle, it's OK, our young lady is not afraid of that what is in charge of affairs."
"Madam, you don't know who is the owner of the village. The man behind him is not terrible. If you stay here, I'm afraid someone will be rude to you."
The thrush straightened her chest and said with a disapproval smile, "how can we not know that the master of Chuang Tzu is not the prince of Zhennan?"
The old man was stunned. He looked at the thrush and Nangong Yue. Although she was not very luxurious, she didn't look like an ordinary rich family in terms of appearance and bearing Is it true that they have met a noble person? Is this a noble man who can help them make decisions?The old man pondered for a moment and said, "yes, it's Xiao Yi, the cruel son of Zhennan king!" He said it with gnashing teeth. The fierce hatred burst out in his eyes, as if he could not eat his flesh and drink his blood!
Thrush eyebrows slightly wrinkled, was about to say something, was Nangong Yue a look to stop.
"Uncle, can you tell me something about it?" Nangong Yue asked.
The old man's eyes sank and hesitated for a moment, but he also felt that he had nothing to worry about. He simply said, "my name is David Chu. I was a soldier of the dead old Zhennan king. More than ten years ago, I lost my right leg in a battle, and since then I have retired. When the old prince was alive, he took good care of our old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers. However, after the present Zhennan King succeeded to the throne, he would have nothing but a meager annual pension. Everyone's life was very hard. "
"Last year, when shiziye sent someone to pick up our veterans in southern Xinjiang, we were all very happy. We felt that shiziye had the elegant demeanor of the old town Nanwang and was willing to support us such wastes. Originally, my son, ah LAN, did not meet the requirements of the prince, but he did not want me to come to Wangdu alone, so he followed me and planned to find a job near Wangdu to support himself But none of us thought that the son of a son was a man with a heart and a heart. He wanted a good reputation and didn't want to support us disabled people. He just took us as free labor and worked for him
The old man was so angry that his face was blue, and his forehead was even more blue. He looked at ah LAN, who was unconscious, and then said, "I was an old man. If I didn't believe in the right person, anyway, the old town south king saved my life. I should give him back his life, but..." He took a deep breath and said angrily, "ah LAN is innocent!" His hands were clenched in my fists, shaking slightly.
At this time, Baihui and Lily finally tossed the injured ah LAN.
Lily looked at the empty medicine bottle and murmured: "it's really cheap for you." When she went back to the mansion, she had to ask the princess to pay for two bottles.
She was just about to put away the empty bottle, but she didn't want to grab it at her with one hand. The speed was too fast, and she was distracted. She was really caught by the other party.
How can this guy wake up so soon? Is your strength so small?
Lily was thinking about it, and felt the pain coming from her wrist. She almost suspected that this guy was exerting all his strength.
"Hello! Is that how you treat people who save lives? " Lily glared at him angrily. The hateful guy made her lose face twice a day.
The old man was busy and said, "ah LAN, let go of this girl. They are here to help us... "
Ah LAN hesitated for a moment. She wanted to say that they had knocked herself out just now, but after seeing the old man who was much better, he finally let go of Lily's hand.
Lily rubbed her wrist and felt bruises on her wrist. She secretly vowed to fight against this disgusting guy!
Just then, from the outside of the room, there was a sound of messy footsteps and conversation:
"it's over there!"
"Go! Go and have a look
Lily's eyes were bright, moved a little knuckle, thought: finally came! If she finds this ah LAN to settle accounts now, she will be said to be bullied and injured. If you come to the door by yourself, don't blame her for being rude. Today, she must give a good lesson to these people who have ruined the reputation of shiziye!
"Dong!"
Someone kicked the rickety wooden door heavily, followed by a stout man in a robe and four tall men swaggering in.
