Lady Changning

Chapter 70 A Different Purple Wood (1)

There was a slight smoke in the room, and the black and white words in the iron basin were reduced to ashes in the flames little by little.Beautiful slender hands threw sheets of paper into the fire.

That was a story from a long time ago. In the story, the woman was indignant and sad, and repeatedly called out the name of a man, but the man was drunk in the arms of another woman. In the end, she died, so unwilling, so... no worth.

The next day, Taoist Tianxuan found Huangfu Zimian and said that he was going to the Western Regions to find some medicine, and asked him to go there. Huangfu Zimian understood that the master was afraid that he would keep everything in his heart.So he nodded in agreement without hesitation.

Taoist Tianxuan didn't procrastinate, he left as soon as he said, packed his bags and left with Zimian. Before leaving, there was another person who appeared, which was Xuanjing.

Xuan Jing successfully escaped from Master Xuan's net once again, but he was penniless and was going to ask Huangfu Zimian for help. When he heard that they were going to the Western Regions, he was very happy. As long as he didn't go to Yue Lingshuang, he would go anywhere happy.

It's just that this trip lasted more than a year, and no one expected all of this. I don't know if Taoist Tianxuan did it on purpose.

Royal Palace
Xi Changning planned to go to the isolated island to try his luck, but I can only say that the empress was too thoughtful, she transferred the woman in white, namely Gu Hongyi, and no matter how Xi Changning called the woman in white on the shore, she would not show up, there was only one way Maybe the queen empress took her away.But the palace is heavily guarded, where can the queen take Gu Hongyi?

What Xi Changning was also worried about was that she would not be able to explain to the prince. He obviously wanted Xi Changning to explain this matter, but now that the person concerned is gone, how would she explain it?The Empress would not say anything, otherwise she would not have taken Gu Hongyi away.

Xi Changning sat powerlessly on the shore. She always thought that she could handle things well with the memory of these people in her previous life. Now it seems that she was really careless. At least she lost to the empress. One step, the first step that is difficult to turn back, now she can only follow the pace of the empress.

As for the prince, she had to find a reason to say the past, and she could delay it as long as she could.

Perhaps even Xi Changning would not have imagined that the delay was more than a year, and he had experienced too much in more than a year. The prince's coming of age ceremony, and Xi Hanxue's wedding ceremony that should have been spent at home were also left in Foshan by the Queen Mother. Finally, under everyone's expectations, San Yiniang added a man to Xi's mansion, which further established San Yiniang's position in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

As for Hucheng, the business has been booming within a year, and Zimu has managed Hucheng very well.

In the summer of this year, Xi Changning was fourteen, and under Mingyu's care, he became more nourished and raised a lot.When outsiders saw her, they no longer described her as thin and small, and the figure of a girl was more obvious on her body.

In the rainy summer, Xi Changning gritted his teeth on the bed and endured the pain, and the sweat soaked his underwear.

"Miss." Mingyu was anxious at the side.

In the past, the eldest lady knelt in the snow, but now the rainy weather is even more painful.Xi Changning tried his best to restrain his pain, and almost rolled over.

He Lianbao saw Xi Changning like this last summer, and it was hard to imagine what kind of pain would make it difficult for such a calm and calm person to get out of bed.

He Lianbao took the ointment given by the doctor and rubbed Xi Changning's knees continuously. Even she felt that her hands were about to spark, but Xi Changning was still suffering from pain.

"What to do, this ointment doesn't work anymore."

"Sister Bao'er, you have a lot of ideas, hurry up and save the young lady." Mingyu burst into tears, seeing the young lady in such pain, it seemed that she herself was in pain.

"I'm not a doctor, what can I do? What's more, doctors are helpless."

Cold to the bone, rainy weather ache for sure, or begging God to stop the rain.Even though he thought so, Helian Bao didn't stop for a moment.He Lianbao didn't stop until Xi Changning slightly relieved the pain and fell asleep from exhaustion.

During the rainy season in summer, when it rained for more than ten consecutive days, Xi Changning didn't go out because she couldn't get out of bed at all.Couldn't sleep all night because of the pain.

"I wrote to Xuanjia, these are martial arts ointments, I hope they will work."

Wu Yiniang handed over all the bottles and jars she had collected from the Xuan family to Mingyu. She also saw Xi Changning unable to get out of bed because of the pain. She couldn't bear it, so she kept writing letters to the Xuan family, hoping To be able to get some useful medicine back from her brother.

"Thank you, Fifth Aunt."

Hucheng
Zilong inspected the shops as usual, and the bosses in the shop greeted and sent them off politely.

A few gangsters on the street whispered to each other.

"Isn't this A Niu? Why is it so amazing?" said a certain old gangster.

"Others misidentified it. Maybe it's just a resemblance." A certain gangster said.

"Can I admit my mistake? In the past, this kid was poor because I gave him alms and he survived." The old gangster said angrily.

"Now that you are developed, who knows you."

"This kid has eaten so much food from me, it's not too much to ask him for some money to compensate."

The old hooligan led a group of hooligans towards Zilong, and behind them were a few smirking elders in brocade suits.

"A cow!"

He hasn't heard someone calling him like this for more than a year, Zilong still looked back, and saw that the heads of the seven or eight people who came here looked familiar.

"You are?" Zilong couldn't remember who it was.

"You are really a noble person who forgets things too much, and now you have forgotten me when you are developed?"

The old gangster tugged at the clothes he was wearing for some years, exuding a bad breath all over his body.

Zilong tried his best to search for the memories of this person in his memory, and finally found all the memories of this person in an obscure corner.

Old Yu, at that time he was so penniless and hungry that his eyes stared at gold stars, it was Lao Yu who gave him the food, and he should have been very grateful to Lao Yu.

But Lao Yu saved him, or he saved a lot of people like him, all for a purpose, that is to let homeless people like them steal things, Zilong did steal for a living, who Knowing that he was caught by an old Taoist priest the first time he attacked, he was so ashamed that he went to a car dealership to find a job.The old Taoist also said that he could change into a dragon, and now he was somewhat believable when he wanted to come here. No matter what, he should thank the old Taoist.

As for being older than him, he didn't feel a little grateful.

"What's the matter?" Zilong frowned.

"Just remember me, should I be grateful for my life-saving grace now?" Lao Yu rubbed his hands together with a clear intention.

Zilong frowned, if it was just asking for money, it would be fine, Lao Yu is very greedy.Zilong thought that one more thing would be better than one less thing, so he opened the purse and took out a tael of silver and handed it to Lao Yu.

Old Yu's eyes shine when he sees money, but he is not satisfied with just a tael of silver, and his eyes are fixed on the money bag.

"You want to send me away for a tael of silver? Your life is too cheap."

"Take this money and get out of Hucheng, don't let me see you again!"

Zilong put away the money bag angrily, making it clear that he would not give him another penny.

Seeing that he couldn't get the money, Lao Yu greeted the gangsters behind him and stepped forward to surround Zilong.

Zilongqi was angry at himself for letting such a gangster save him, he might as well let him starve to death on the street.

Hu Shang on the side recognized Manager Zilong Zi at a glance, threw down the stall, turned around and went to Zifu to report.The servants of the Zifu didn't dare to delay for a moment, and hurriedly reported to the young master, Zimu, who was the owner of the Zifu.

"Master, Director Zi had an accident on the street."

Although Zimu is indifferent, he is not difficult to serve, and can even be said to be very easy-going, so after people get to know him, they are not afraid of him, and more like this master.

Zimu closed the ledger, got up and walked out of the room.

"Notify the savage wolf and savage tiger brothers."

When Zilong arrived at the scene with the two brothers, the wild wolf and the wild tiger, Zilong had already fought with them. Zilong had experienced a lot in the past year, and he learned a few tricks and styles to deal with these gangsters. If it is a loss, the loss lies in the number of people.

The wild wolf and wild tiger brothers stepped forward and grabbed Lao Yu, and the gangsters had to stop.

"Boss Zi, are you alright?"

"Master, this subordinate is fine."

Lao Yu was startled when he heard that, he never thought that the former fool was actually the manager of Hu Cheng.Now it's the wrong person.But with so many gangsters looking at him, he couldn't lose face, so he could only hold on.

"How can the manager be so ungrateful?"

Zilong is embarrassed, this matter is his private matter, and now the young master is required to come forward, if it gets to the ears of the city lord, I am afraid that he himself will feel that he is not effective in handling the matter.

"Master, that's not the case." Zilong argued.

"Wolf, please get these people out of the city, and don't let them enter the city in the future."

Many people on the street were seduced by Zimu's pretty face, although cold, but fatally attractive.

The savage wolf obeyed his orders and brought them under control with a few strokes.

"Why do you still dare to use martial arts?"

"You stole things in Hucheng not once or twice, but to send you to see officials? Good thing, get out of Hucheng now?" Zimu raised her charming eyebrows, full of flair.

Old Yu was startled, it turned out that others had already been following him.Thinking about not being at a disadvantage here, he turned around and took the people away.

"You wait for me."

Lao Yu was "invited" out of Hucheng with threats.But on the way, he was stopped by some elders in fancy clothes.

"Want revenge? We can help you. If you do well, these are yours."

The elders opened the small bag, revealing a golden corner.Lao Yu was even more bewildered and nodded quickly.

The elders looked at each other and smiled wickedly, to see what the young master of Hucheng would do, he dared to monopolize their wealth.

Hucheng's business is getting bigger and bigger. Many businessmen who used to make huge profits from the products of the Western Regions have to switch to other careers, but some businessmen who are difficult to switch have to cut prices again and again. There are not many customers, how could they hold back this tone.
