Concubine Sheng Chong

Chapter 67

"Are you out of your mind? I don't want this hairpin anymore!" Xia He wiped his tears and pushed his arm away, but unexpectedly touched his wound.

Xu Ming took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said, "Don't...you never leave this hairpin..."

Xia He grabbed the hairpin, turned her head and ignored him, but thought that his wound was still bleeding.

She looked at the wet appearance of the two of them, and couldn't even find a quick-drying cloth. She stood up and kicked the elm tree that Xu Ming was leaning against.

"I'm fine, cold water will stop the bleeding." Xu Ming struggled to stand up, but Xia He directly pressed him down and lay down again.

"What are you doing? Do you really want me to collect your body? I can't carry you on my back. If you die, I'll throw you here to feed the mice!"

Xu Ming looked at the wound on his hand, it was already numb after being soaked in cold water overnight, and now it's only aching.

"Xia He, there are no mice here..."

"Are you still laughing?!" Xia He sat beside him angrily, and soon felt a burst of cold air hit his body.

Xu Ming closed his eyes and calculated the time. According to the speed of the river, he was probably far away from the place where he fell into the water.

He looked up at the sky that had just dawned, and struggled to stand up against the tree.

Seeing him so quickly, Xia He got up and supported him, "What are you doing?!"

Xu Ming shook his head, "Go back along the river, maybe you will meet someone sent by the master."

Seeing that he let go of the tree and was still trying to hold himself back, Xia He pulled him back, "Don't hold on, you lean on me, maybe you can still meet your master alive."

Xu Ming forced a smile, but there was no trace of blood on his handsome face. Because of his mistake this time, the master might be in trouble.

Xia He stopped looking at him, and helped him walk back.

Xu Ming is like this, his mistakes can always be lightly laughed off by him, if he hadn't been so hasty this time, how could he have come to this point.

My brain must be flooded!There are still a lot!
Xia He cursed secretly in his heart, but he didn't know whether he was cursing Xu Ming or himself.

But in her mind, she remembered when she was in Jin'an, when she saw her senior brother for the first time, she held up the sword for a long time without any movement, and only thought that there were such good-looking people in this world.

So she felt displeased when she saw Xu Ming, and used her identity to suppress Xu Ming from time to time, and blamed Xu Ming for what she did wrong, but who knew that Xu Ming took the blame for herself without saying a word.

On my mother’s birthday, I secretly went to pick my mother’s favorite apricots, but I couldn’t climb the tree. The father punished him by copying the sword manual all night on his knees.

But I slept peacefully all night, and didn't know that Xu Ming had been kneeling all night until he didn't see Xu Ming the next day, his legs were swollen...

But when he saw himself again, he still smiled like that and said "It's all right".

He always made himself feel unspeakably hateful, how could there be such a person...

"There's someone over there!"

"It's Captain Xu... Captain Xu!"

A group of soldiers from Zhennanwei approached Xu Ming and Xia He gropingly. Hearing the shout, Xu Ming turned his head and smiled at Xia He: "It's okay..." Before he finished speaking, he fell to the ground .

Xia He froze in place, it's all right... He always told himself that it was all right...

Xu Junyan had already temporarily stayed at Xiao's house because of the repeated occurrences of King Xuan's remnants. Hearing that Xu Ming and Xia He had been rescued, he entered the house with a gloomy expression.

Xia He had already changed into clean clothes, his face pale, looking at Xu Ming who was sleeping on the bed.

Seeing Xu Junyan come in with a cold face, Xia He stood up, lowered his head with red eyes and said, "Senior brother, it's my fault..."

Xu Junyan glanced at Xu Ming, "How is he?"

The doctor at the side finished writing the prescription, and bowed back: "Don't worry, general, although this master has serious skin and flesh injuries, he didn't hurt his internal organs. He is also a martial arts practitioner. There is nothing wrong with it, but he lost too much blood. Settle for a while."

As he spoke, he glanced at Xu Junyan's uncertain face, and hurriedly left.

Xu Junyan glanced at Xu Ming, turned his back to Xia He and said indifferently: "Master has sent people to Jiangnan."

Xia He knew that he had caused a lot of trouble, but he just looked listless, he hesitated to say: "Brother, Xu Ming is not wrong, I let him..."

"Needless to say, I don't blame him."

Xu Ming's unauthorized action almost messed up his deployment. Xu Junyan ordered a few followers to boil medicine, and then went to Xiao Ziyan's study. There were still many aftermath matters to deal with.

Several men dressed as guards saw Xu Junyan leaving, and then saluted Xia He at the door, "Miss, master wants you to leave immediately and return to Jin'an."

Xia He bit her lip, waved her hand and said, "Understood, you guys go prepare the car."

She walked to Xu Ming's bed and looked at it for a while, and after thinking for a long time, she could only hold back the three words "I'm sorry".

It's because I'm too self-willed.

She took a deep breath, turned around and was about to leave, when she suddenly thought of the jade hairpin in her sleeve, she pulled out the jade hairpin and looked at it for a moment, then put the jade hairpin beside Xu Ming's pillow with her lips pressed together, and then quickly walked out of the inner room.

The incense burned in Xiao's study in autumn is slightly warm, but not strong, which is really just right.

Xiao Ziyan read the reply letter from Luoyang, and congratulated Xu Junyan, "General Xu has done a great job this time, and he will definitely be promoted to a noble when he returns to Luoyang."

It was written in the letter that Xu Junyan would be rewarded only after Xu Junyan returned to the court. According to this achievement, he must be able to be named a marquis.

It's just that I don't know what happened to Wang Zhao, but Meng Tian's story was reported according to Xu Junyan's intention...

Xu Junyan's expression remained unchanged, he only glanced at the letter hastily, and said in a flat tone, "Xu is just doing his duty, and he dare not take credit for it."

Seeing him like this, Xiao Ziyan really couldn't figure out his thoughts, he hesitated for a moment and then probed: "According to the general, this is the Renxing Bank belonging to Prince Xuan's mansion, what should we do?"

Want to trap yourself with a mere bank?
King Xuan's secret flow of property has long been controlled by himself, and the Renxing Bank on the surface is just an empty shell.

Xu Junyan hooked the corners of his mouth, and said with an ambiguous smile: "How can a certain warrior, Xu, meddle in affairs outside the military? According to Xu, Master Xiao reported the truth."

Is there any man who leads soldiers not to be greedy?King Xuan's Renxing Bank is worth a lot of money, he doesn't like it?

Xiao Ziyan sneered twice, "The general is right, but I was confused."

If he accepts this great gift, he, Xu Junyan, can be considered to be in the hands of the Xiao family, but who knows that this Xu Junyan is actually a master who doesn't want to get in!
Xu Junyan took a sip of the Lanxi Maofeng in the Ding Kiln's cloud-patterned teacup, and then relaxed his mood, thinking that the tea should come to Luoyang, right?What kind of surprised look would she have?

At this time, Jiang Jinyan was staring dumbfounded at the several large boxes of tea leaves delivered from Jiangnan.

"What's going on?" Jiang Jinyan raised his head and asked.

"Miss, the person who delivered the tea leaves has already left. He said that it was from the Wanming Tea House in Huaizhou, Jiangnan, and that a young master named Xu bought it five days ago and ordered it to be delivered."

Five days?It only took five days from Jiangnan to Luoyang...

The mother-in-law left after delivering the message, and Jiang Jinyan was a little unsteady holding his forehead. Several large boxes of Lanxi Maofeng...

Didn't Xu Junyan go to Jiangnan to do business?

The news of Xu Junyan's rebellion against King Xuan came from Jiangnan in the past two days, and people are still talking about it in Luoyang City at this moment.

Jiang Jinyan frowned and didn't know what to say, and it took a long time before he said to Yu Mo, "It's good to put it away."

Is it because he knows that he likes to drink Lanxi Maofeng?

She thought of the last time Xu Junyan came to Jing'an Hou's Mansion and said when he left, "If you like it, I will send some more next time".

I only take him as a joke, who knows that he will always do what he says.

Yu Mo and Xue Yan were also stunned for a long time. Is General Xu fighting the rebellion in the south of the Yangtze River, and he still has the heart to buy tea?

Xueyan looked at the simple and noble wooden box painted with cloud patterns, and said with a grin, "It's all right now, I'm afraid General Xu is going to be promoted? Let me just say, Miss is a blessed person."

Yu Mo pinched her face, "You little hoof is full of nonsense, what does the matter of the Xu family have to do with our eldest lady? I'm not afraid that it will ruin your reputation if it gets out."

Xueyan groaned and hid behind Jiang Jinyan, sticking out her tongue, "If it wasn't for helping our lady, why would General Xu be demoted to Jiangnan? If going to Jiangnan can't be done, what kind of chaos can we stay in Luoyang to settle?"

Yu Mo also chuckled, "The more you talk, the more nonsense you get. If you keep talking, Miss will not be able to protect you. Miss, you are not allowed to protect her this time. I must punish her not to enter the small kitchen."

When Jiang Jinyan was in a daze, he came back to his senses, looked at Xue Yan and said with a smile: "Listen, if you keep messing around like this, I dare not want you anymore."

Xueyan curled her lips, and said bitterly: "Without me, who will punish that villain in Yicui Pavilion."

Jiang Jinyan shook his head with a smile, and then thought of the deal he made with the Wang family this time to keep a shop like Pinxiangxuan. It's good in your hand.

"Did that painting be sent to a calligraphy and painting shop?"

The plaque of the new shop was written by Jiang Jinyan herself. Now she writes neatly and heroically, which has completely covered up the original graceful style.

Yu Mo turned around and said with a smile: "Probably it was delivered tomorrow. The shopkeeper said that Miss's handwriting is very good. If she didn't think that Miss would need it urgently, she would have to write a post."

Jiang Jinyan pursed his lips and smiled, "Coax me, what are you going to do with the writing on the plaque? It's better to send it as soon as possible, and report to the yamen as soon as possible. The matter of Pinxiangxuan should be overturned as soon as possible."

Yu Mo nodded quickly, and asked again: "Shopkeeper Huang came to ask about it yesterday, but Miss, can you find another place for him?"

After thinking for a while, Jiang Jin said: "Send someone to ask a question. The newly opened medical clinic lacks a shopkeeper in charge. If he is willing, the monthly payment will remain the same. It's just that this shop will be under Qingqian's management, so I will also talk to him along the way." Make a point."

It is not difficult for me to establish a foothold in Beishi with my own shop and money and Yu's medical skills.

More importantly, she felt at ease when Yu's family was separated from the southern boundary of the city.

Yu Mo nodded and went out to give orders.

As soon as he arrived at Jing'anhou Mansion, after dismounting from his horse, Licheng saw Li Qianyun who was holding the horse and staring at him. She was standing beside the black horse in a red dress.

When she saw Fang Licheng, her eyes lit up. Fang Lijin really didn't lie to herself.

Turning around and about to get on the horse, Li Qianyun walked over quickly, "How long are you going to hide from me?"

Seeing her grabbing the reins, Fang Licheng took a step back, his expression darkened, "Miss Li, I still have something to do..."

Li Qianyun glanced at the four gilt characters on a black background in the Jing'an Hou Mansion, and suddenly felt uncomfortable, "Are you going to see her?"

Hearing her disdainful tone, Fang Licheng lost his temper, "Don't worry about my affairs, Miss Li."

Seeing that his complexion was even worse, Li Qianyun became anxious, lowered her voice, and said with a glimmer of hope in her pleading: "If I don't want to marry again, I will enter the palace..."

Fang Licheng cupped his hands and said, "Then I congratulate Miss Li."

"For so many years, is this the only thing you have said to me is congratulations?" She bit her lip, holding back the tears that were about to burst.
