Xi Shijing

Yuan Ji's eyes turned to the ceiling, blinking blankly, then blinking again.Who was speaking just now?

He wanted to turn his head away, but Qiao Weixian immediately supported his neck: "Don't move." Qiao Weixian looked calm and composed, and ordered the little sparrow: "Pour some more water."

The little sparrow responded and flew away with a rattling sound.

The saliva hanging in Yuan Ji's throat swallowed loudly: It's really Qiao Weixian.

Yuan Ji has a keen sense in his hands at the moment, and he is most familiar with Qiao Weixian's palm.He was in a state of mind in an instant, he took a quick breath, felt the pain around him, and had to calm down in a hurry: "You, why are you here? Why do you need it, don't you—"

Before the words finished, Yuan Ji suddenly felt his hand was slightly raised.When he felt it carefully, he was impartial, and he pressed Qiao Weixian's cheek.

Qiao Weixian's face became hot, and the forced generosity just now disappeared: "Damn it! You still dare to ask me? I'm going to be scared to death by you!"

After hearing this scolding, Yuan Ji's arm didn't hurt at all.He gently stroked Qiao Weixian's face with his fingers, and his eyes strenuously glanced over, trying to frame Qiao Weixian's situation in his eyes: "I was beaten just now, and you still scolded me, if I had known earlier, I'd better not wake up— —I'll close my eyes."

Qiao Weixian squeezed his hand, and hearing that he had the strength to talk poorly, he was angry and happy, and leaned over clumsily: "Wait, wait, don't close your eyes!"

Yuan Ji just turned his back to the sky, and finally saw Qiao Weixian's face carefully.As soon as he saw Qiao Weixian in his eyes, he smiled despite the pain: "You are too unreasonable, I hurt the sick, what do you want from me?"

Before he finished speaking, Qiao Weixian straightened his back again: it was the little sparrow who came in with water.The child timidly handed out the bowl: "Master Qiao, water."

Standing beside Qiao Weixian, he stretched his head to look at Yuan Ji, the corners of his clothes were pinched many times, with complicated marks: "Brother Yuan Ji, I thought you wouldn't wake up—you've been lying down for a day and a night, just fed some water... ..."

Yuan Ji didn't react yet, but he heard Qiao Weixian call out to Little Sparrow: "Give me a hand."

The two were at a loss, and soon Yuan Ji's arm was across the back of Qiao Weixian's neck, in the posture of being held by Qiao Weixian in his arms. The porcelain bowl was attached to his mouth, and the water was warm.

"You have a lot of bruises on your body," Qiao Weixian said after a pause, "Thanks to this kid's cleverness. If he didn't come to me early in the morning, the doctor gave me medicine, it's hard to say."

Little Sparrow rubbed his fingers carefully beside him: "Master Qiao, Brother Yuan Ji doesn't have that much money, and I only saved a little..."

Qiao Weixian handed the empty bowl to Little Sparrow, and put Yuan Ji down again: "There's no need to talk about this."

When the little sparrow heard it, his face was happy, and he happily walked out the door: "Brother Yuanji, then, then I'll make porridge for you."

As they approached the door, Yuan Ji immediately cooperated with him and pretended to be serious: "Master Qiao, the little sparrow is right. Don't make things difficult for me, I will pay you back slowly."

Qiao Weixian's eyes turned sideways, and he let out a breath, vigorously: "You want to pay it back? You can afford it? If you get it cheap, you're not as good as that little one!"

Whenever Yuan Ji wanted to laugh, he felt severe pain.He gritted his teeth for a while, and finally pulled Qiao Weixian: "I... I really didn't expect you to come. I'm so dizzy, I can't remember."

Qiao Weixian's complexion darkened: "Xia Congliang did a good job."

However, Yuanji was calm, because he was used to it: "He was determined to hit me, but there was nothing he could do about it. God treated me well this time, or if he beat me to death, he would die. Don't take it to heart. How worthless!"

Qiao Weixian said nothing, but looked at the ground.This room is neither clean nor dirty.A narrow bed is facing the window, the wardrobe has been re-boarded, and a brown sugar jar is placed on top of the cabinet, presumably for fear that the little sparrows will not finish eating.

A light mark appeared between Qiao Weixian's eyebrows, and he pouted: "This is not worth it, and that is not worth it. Now you are not worth it, so who is it?"

Yuan Ji felt that there seemed to be some meaning in these words, but he couldn't understand them. He just trembled in his heart and mumbled:

"When you come here, I'm afraid that gossip about you will be spread everywhere. You will push it on me and say that you don't know me. Don't ruin your reputation."

Yuan Ji's worry was superfluous: it had already been spread.At night, I am afraid that all the mothers of children will make up stories.Gein had a spectacular scene at that time: Qiao Weixian's driver, driving a black and bright Vauxhall, followed by a doctor's car, blocked the Tongren Alley in a hurry.Then he, Master Qiao, hugged him and was led by the little sparrow, with a pale face, he entered Yuan Ji's residence.

At present, the people around have dispersed, but the driver is still waiting to take Qiao Weixian back.

"If it's you, how would you say it?" Qiao Weixian pouted: "Are you going to say that you don't recognize me?"

Yuan Ji heard that there was something in his words, scratched Qiao Weixian's palm, and imitated Qiao Weixian's slender voice: "If it were me, I would definitely say: 'Damn, you want you to take care of it? Fuck you'!"

Qiao Weixian really didn't expect it, and was immediately laughed at.He bent down beside Yuan Ji's ear, and pressed his forehead against Yuan Ji's cheek.He didn't smile at all today, and now he finally relaxed a little: "When did I talk like this? Nonsense!"

Xia Congliang, Mr. Xia, soon heard rumors that the owner of the Qiao Mansion went to Tongren Alley with great fanfare.

He wiped his mouth with a napkin, snorted: "What is he running around?" Then he understood: "Oh! It's time for him to start a family too. Why do you think he was born in Tongren Alley? His father must be angry Already!"

Mrs. Xia was on the side, the fork in her hand rattled against the porcelain plate.She lost her temper at the fork: "Oh, I'm going to die..." She didn't say any more.

The two of them trimmed the mess behind them: I don't know what kind of agreement the concubine had reached with Mr. Xia, so in short, he retreated.Now, although the two people have noses and eyes, they can barely sit and eat together.

Mrs. Xia's heart was pounding, and her husband and the housekeeper's speech was also intermittent in her ears.

"...Is that so? He will be here in a few days? Fourth sister is really fast...

When Mrs. Xia heard the name, she turned her head suddenly: Fourth Sister, she heard from the servants in the mansion that she was the nickname of that concubine.

"Bullshit, He Township is looking for him everywhere, can he stay? It's not a fuel-efficient lamp.

"That's fine. He's willing to come. After finishing the job with the surname Qiao, send him away quickly... If you dare to make troubles and startle Feng Mao, I won't be able to protect him!"

She only understood this nickname, the others were buzzing like mosquitoes and flies.What life is at stake, ship docks, cloth and gold.Financial calculations have nothing to do with her, and she only judges whether things are good or bad by whether her eyelids twitch or not.

However, it turns out that her eyelids are effective.

In the early morning of the next day, two cloth boats from Xiafu docked at the pier.The boatman negotiated with the wharf for the unloading gap, and was suddenly tied up.The goods in the two cabins, the cloth on the upper layer remained intact, only the valuables, the gold on the lower layer, and the smoke and soil on the lower layer were looted in an instant.
