Qingzhou trip

Li Xiulan listened to Liu Qinsang's pulse, and saw that she was extremely weak and her face was pale, so she rolled her eyes at her, "You don't want this child? I can prescribe medicine."

Liu Qinsang looked at her now, "In your opinion, human life is so cheap?"

Li Xiulan raised her eyebrows, "You?"

"Yes, there are people like Xie Penglai who, for the sake of their own future, let this child lose his father before he was born..." Liu Qinsang became a little more angry when he mentioned her Uighur lover, and his voice became weaker. A little older, "My husband was just driven out of the city by him, and he was killed for no reason in a blink of an eye."

Before coming to see Liu Qinsang, Li Xiulan had learned about her troubles from Xie Penglai, and immediately turned her face away, "I hear this kind of thing a lot." She only wanted to save lives, but not hearts.

Seeing that Li Xiulan was not moved by her, Liu Qinsang pushed her hand away, "Are you also in their group?"

Li Xiulan wiped her hands with a wet handkerchief, "Your physical weakness can be cured within a month, but you often cry or go on hunger strikes in prison, and even if you are well, it will take half a year to recuperate, so maybe you will lose your stomach." The children here can still be saved." Liu Qinsang was swept away by her piercing eyes, "Don't tell me that Lao Shizi's life is cheap, you have spoiled yourself and the children for this sake, weigh yourself first."

Liu Qinsang hated others to insinuate that her relationship with Yasu was unclear. Her skinny fingers grabbed Li Xiulan who was packing the medicine box, "My husband and I are married, not some wild mandarin duck... ..."

Li Xiulan laughed strangely, "What about wild mandarin ducks?" Then Xie Penglai faced his own speculation and pressure, and said cheekily, "I will indulge Your Highness, and His Highness will tolerate me. The family genealogy is still placed in the sand, Xie, but I hope His Highness will be happy." The implication is that she doesn't care about status, let alone wealth.

"I heard that you also disdain to do harm to the rich and powerful in the capital, so you returned to the Northwest in a fit of anger. I think you have bones. When I said you humiliated yourself, I was laughing at you for a man who died a long time ago and didn't take you seriously at all. You want to die or live. What do you want to live?" Li Xiulan glanced at Liu Qinsang's already dirty fingers, "Well, the number one qin performer in the capital, singing and dancing are all outstanding, how can you forget yourself after being slept by a man? What’s the name? Tell Xie Penglai that you have a reason to sue people in the capital: it’s not a big deal to expel a suspected Uighur.”

"Yasu has a deep affection for me..." Liu Qinsang's words were stopped by Li Xiulan with a wave of her hand in the air, "How long have you two known each other? How deep is it? Even if he is innocent, he would not hesitate to hide in your residence and dare not come out to say anything I understand, is it deep love or fear of death? The three tricks men use to coax women are nothing more than sweet mouth, considerate body, and good looks. I can't help thinking about it. It's deep love, but it's just bed after taking off their pants That bit of business here." Li Xiulan's words left Liu Qinsang speechless, she sat there sluggishly, her hands stroking her stomach and trembling.

"When you come to this world once, do you want to open your belly to give birth to a man? Or do you want to be an indomitable woman? I am a famous prostitute, Liu Qinsang, and I am also an extraordinary woman, but she is also a vulgar fan. Change your face and change your clothes, and County Magistrate Xie will send someone to pick you up." Li Xiulan said "hum", then picked up the medicine box, walked to the door of the cell, and saw Xie Penglai, who was still smiling.

Xie Penglai bowed to her and thanked her, "Xie has learned what Dr. Li said." After being glared at by Li Xiulan, she didn't care, but reached out to get the medicine box for her. Li Xiulan turned her body to avoid her, thank you Penglai still firmly grasped the rope, and took it off Li Xiulan's shoulder with half force.

Li Shun and the others returned to the city early in the morning. Needless to say, three liang of silver was enough to motivate them. Li Xiulan's horse and medicine box were all found on the trail, and fortunately no one went out on New Year's Eve.On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Li Xiulan, who couldn't be idle, was going to have a consultation in Shahai, but the people in Shahai were very particular about avoiding the dark, and no one came to see her after sitting for a long time, so she had to listen to Xie Penglai's persuasion to come to see this stubborn famous operative in prison.

"People in the world talk about fallacies and do evil things. When they are dying of illness, they grab the doctor's hand and call Bodhisattva to save me. On the first day of the new year, they treat me as a plague god and avoid me." Do you want to live or die for a man?" She stopped and turned around and shouted into the cell, "Even if you take care of yourself and give birth to a child, you will go through hell. How many lives do you have for a man?" This is scolding Liu Qinsang's words, but Xie Penglai heard some other meanings.

She and Li Xiulan went back to the courtyard. The hot food and dishes in the pot had been prepared, and the wine was warming in the stove.The medical skills carefully selected from Shahai Academy are also placed on the kang.Li Xiulan saw "Hui Ming Fang in the Western Regions" at a glance, and said happily, "There are such medical skills?"

She withdrew her hand as soon as she touched the book, and she looked at Xie Penglai coldly, "Where did you get it?"

Xie Penglai sat her down, "I have a friend who travels all over the world. He travels to various countries in the Western Regions all the year round. Whenever I encounter rare scriptures, I will ask him to find a way to copy them and bring them back." At the New Year's dinner, I respectfully paid three respects to Li Xiulan, "Student Xie Penglai congratulates Dr. Li on the New Year."

Li Xiulan picked up her chopsticks and took a bite, "I have no courtesy for you." She was used to wandering alone, and never cared about these festivals.In addition to yesterday's eloquent rebuke, Xie Penglai gave Shi Shiran a smile at the end, and said "Thank you, Dr. Li, for the reminder" and he was sloppy.This person is not entirely a nerd, Li Xiulan felt that what King Jin said was wrong, he was an official who had spent more than ten years at the border, and the city was far more dangerous than an official.She likes to associate with people who are open and upright, and she doesn't like people who say two points and three points and leave five points.

Xie Penglai smiled and shook his head, "The student is not asking for courtesy, but I beg the doctor to return the jade to Zhao." Sure enough, Xie Penglai saw Li Xiulan turning her eyes, and she followed in front of her, stretching out a palm, "King Jin's letter... the hard work of the doctor Keep it all the way."

"How do you know there is a letter?" Li Xiulan looked up at Xie Penglai.

The female county magistrate curled her thin lips, her eyebrows and eyes were bright, "Your Highness and I never discuss private matters in the letters of Pubing. Since Dr. Li knew about the private affairs between Your Highness and Xie, it must be learned from His Highness, and His Highness will entrust it to you." A letter from the doctor." Xie Penglai's thoughtful and humble appearance made Li Xiulan so angry that she couldn't burst out.Looking at the food books carefully prepared by the county magistrate for herself, she opened the medicine box to find the letter and put it on the record, "Why don't I worry about this medicine box?"

Xie Penglai smiled steadily, and only took the letter after another obeisance. Bai Run's fingertips trembled slightly when they touched the letter paper.After she went out, she couldn't wait to open it, read and read, read and read, sometimes looked up at the wall and smirked, and sometimes touched the tip of her nose lightly.

In Zhao Yifang's letter, she only asked her about her health, and if she couldn't eat hot meals at home, she would go directly to the palace. King Jin's letter was bright and straightforward, "I haven't opened my face after leaving the city for a few days, and I regret that I thanked my teacher for going the same way." But She also spoke for Li Xiulan, asking Xie Penglaimo to pay attention to her sharp words and straightforward nature.

Li Xiulan watched Xie Penglai's face turn red from the window, and the red was covered with powder, obviously excited by this letter.

"Tacky." She turned her head to pick up the mutton, and saw that the sneaky civet cat in this house had stretched its claws onto the plate.Throwing a piece of meat to her, Li Xiulan waited for Xie Penglai to enter the house.

"What are you going to do with that female prisoner?" She didn't talk about King Jin, but she still cared about the fetus in Liu Qinsang's womb.

"Huaxiang can't stay any longer, I'll take her to live with her in this courtyard for a while, and we'll make a long-term plan after her health improves and the child is born." Xie Penglai actually felt ashamed of Liu Qinsang: she really could not let her go. Yasu went out of the city to save his life for a while, but Lu Jinhua and the others needed to be confessed with their lives, and the fate of traitors would be death.

"Don't be soft-hearted, this woman has a strong temper, and she might go to the capital to sue you. Although there is no evidence, she may be caught by someone who wants to pour dirty water on you." Li Xiulan's tone was hard, but her words were all for Xie Penglai consider.

Xie Penglai nodded, "It is true that she has been used and abetted, but when it comes to guilt, the hardships of prison these days are enough."

"There are too many women like this in the world, so I don't like you." Li Xiulan said, "If there is a medicine to cleanse the brain and wash the heart, I will find it all over the world. Feed them to eat, and one by one, they will grow bones and jump out. Edges and corners, don’t be so foolish as to be eaten up and wiped clean, and still complain for others.” She changed the subject, “You and I both know that there is no medicine for this, so even if you gather thousands or thousands of people, how can you fight against the tens of millions of people in the world? Tens of thousands of people's fixed thoughts? How to prevent a steady stream of women from fleeing from the sea of ​​sand to men's arms to hide blindfolded?"

Xie Penglai secretly sighed—Li Xiulan clearly expressed the concerns of her, Jin Wang, A Lu, Lu Jinhua and others.Li Xiulan said that human lives cannot be saved forever, and people's hearts, especially women's hearts, cannot be saved forever.That's why I advised them not to bother, and to take care of their own future.

Xie Penglai ate two cups of wine silently, at this moment, someone knocked on the door, "Xie County magistrate, I brought Miss Liu here."

She responded, put down her chopsticks and prepared to pick up someone, and said to Li Xiulan before going out, "But we can't let it go, if everyone only thinks about a little bit of wealth in front of them, women in the world will never live in peace, and they will never open their eyes. We have to leave early." Qing Qiao said, why did the King of Shang meticulously train His Highness to manage the army, why Bai Zhi reluctantly married Yun Fangjiang to keep his military power, why Lu Jinhua did not change his original intention after years of poverty, and why His Highness condescended to Sha Hai to suffer so much?"

What people did right or wrong in the past should not be written off in exchange for a comment of "ignorance of current affairs".Now they don't know which way is right or wrong. "The more you wake up, the more likely you are. The more you hide, the less you can go."

Looking at Xie Penglai's back, Li Xiulan raised her head and poured down the glass of wine, "Looking at Wen Tun, he is a spicy guy."
