After dinner, Li Haitang came to the door of the east wing wearing a single coat wrapped in a quilt, and without knocking on the door, he lay on the crack of the door to eavesdrop on the movement in the house.After a long time, my legs were numb and cold.She couldn't bear it anymore, she kicked the door a few times, pulled her throat and shouted: "Frozen to death!"
I'm freezing to death!
What the hell are you going to do?
Do you want to freeze me to death knowing that I won't open the door outside?
”"You want to eavesdrop outside the door, how can you blame me."
Wu Yinling opened the door and invited Haitang in, and under the faint candlelight, she could still see that her eyes were red and her cheeks were stained with tears.Li Haitang wrapped himself in the quilt and threw himself on the earthen kang in the inner room, complaining while climbing the kang: "This winter is colder than last year, I knew that a fire had burned down the Xiqiao Pavilion, and I should have asked the secret guard to rescue our winter clothes in advance." ”"If Patriarch Li and Li Yunzi let you know in advance, will their conspiracy still succeed?"
Wu Yinling replaced one of his hand warmer copper stoves with new charcoal wood, and put a light floral incense piece.Hold it and stuff it to the begonia, and go outside to pour hot tea.Li Haitang held the hand-warming copper stove on the hot kang and retorted: "Even if I knew in advance, I wouldn't stop them."
Without their fire, how could Patriarch Li fall into such a situation as he is now. ”"The Li patriarch took the blame for himself, and the eldest girl stayed out of the matter.If the conspiracy of the Li patriarch succeeds, it is the eldest girl who is being scolded now. ”Wu Yinling brought a charcoal brazier under the edge of the kang and brought a clean cotton towel to dry her hair and the wet and cold ice beads.Li Haitang held the hot tea and drank it lightly, watching the black silver bell dry her hair, gently and carefully like treating a rare treasure.She couldn't help but sigh that she had changed from a poor peasant girl to a noble Fengxian daughter, and she was more and more forgetful of her roots."
Don't wipe it for me, go and wrap yourself in the quilt and lie down with me.""
I'm not tired."
Wu Yinling smiled lightly and concentrated on wiping Begonia's hair.Li Haitang pulled Wu Yinling to sit beside her, pointing to her reddened eyes, "Why are you crying?"
Patriarch Wu is making things difficult for you again?
”Wu Yinling shook his head and was silent.Li Haitang wrapped the quilt tightly and fell back, half leaning on the soft pillow to look at the beam of the roof, and said unhurriedly: "Let me guess." ”"Big girl, don't think about it."
Wu Yinling bit her lip, and her eyes were filled with tears.Li Haitang ignored her and said to himself: "Patriarch Wu feels sorry for the 200,000 taels of gold, and wants to give birth to a son as soon as possible to inherit his position as patriarch."
The secret recipe of the palace is in my hands, and I am always protected by secret guards, and no matter how many people he sends to rob him, it will be in vain, and it will anger me.Instead of going to great lengths to send someone to rob it, it is better to threaten you to steal it near the water. ”Wu Yinling was dumbfounded, "Big girl knows?
”"Guess."
Li Haitang smiled proudly, pulled Wu Yinling to lie on the soft pillow and looked at the roof beam, and said: "People are selfish, no matter what decision you make, I will forgive you." ”"Does the big girl believe that I won't betray?""
Why don't you believe it?"
Quietly holding Wu Yinling's hand, Li Haitang gently closed her eyes, "Sister Yinling, I envy you."
You still have a chance to do your best to protect your mother, and even if I am powerful, I can't protect her and my brother.Alas!
”"The eldest girl protected my mother very well, and the Wu patriarch and my father tried their best to find my mother's whereabouts.My mother wrote the day before yesterday that she had died to her father and did not want to have anything to do with him.My mother told me to stay with the eldest girl and serve with peace of mind, if one day the eldest girl ascends to the immortal to worship the ancestors......
My mother would come and kowtow to me and pick me up and fly away with me. ”Wu Yinling clenched Haitang's hand and said with tears: "The eldest girl treats me like a mountain, how can I take revenge to help the Wu patriarch steal the secret recipe."
The big girl trusts, and I swear allegiance to the death. ”"Silly sister, what do you say, you are not afraid of taboos.Take a few quick bites, all as if you didn't count what you just said. ”Li Haitang bent his fingers to wipe away the tears that slipped from the corners of her eyes for her, and persuaded softly."
I am helpless in the wind and rain, except for the master, who is you, Qingluo, and Yang Yan.Even Li Yanyan and Liu Erniang are separated by a layer of thoughts, and they can't feel at ease.If you can treat me with sincerity, I will naturally think for you.In two years, when you are young, I will arrange the marriage for you.If you have someone you like, you must tell me, don't be ashamed of your teeth for a while and regret it for the rest of your life. ”Wu Yinling nodded gratefully, and the boulder hanging in her heart finally fell.She had always been worried that Haitang would misunderstand that she was involved with the Wu patriarch, and now all worries are gone.Li Haitang let out half of the quilt to cover her, and asked curiously: "Good sister tell me, what did the Wu patriarch threaten you?"
”Thinking of being forcibly dragged into the carriage and threatened, Wu Yinling hated it with hatred and said, "Patriarch Wu is so shameless that he used my marriage to threaten him.If I promise to steal the secret recipe, he will go to Patriarch Yan to talk to the matchmaker; If I refuse to steal, he will take me out of the Cabinet and marry me to the bitter cold land of Mobei. ”"Ouch, Patriarch Wu thinks so well."
Li Haitang sighed that the Wu patriarch was calculating.Marry Yan Li, the only heir of the Yan clan, as the wife of the main family, and after Yan Li takes over the position of patriarch, the Wu patriarch can use the black silver bell to compete for the rights of the Yan clan.At that time, he has the power and wealth of the two major clans, and the son of the Wu patriarch is the most beautiful son of his generation.Wu Yinling said indignantly: "He wants to be beautiful."
Neither Patriarch Yan nor Yan Li were fuel-efficient lamps, so how could they not see through his conspiracy.He pushed me into the fire pit so I wouldn't be fooled. ”"Alas!
Fighting with those old foxes, we must be vigilant step by step, if we take a wrong step and fall into their trap, we will never recover. ”Recalling the days of open and secret battles and intrigues all day long in the past year, Li Haitang felt tired.Wu Yinling hugged her sideways in distress, and gently stroked her back with her hand to comfort: "Don't be afraid, I will accompany you in heaven and earth." ”"Okay."
With a faint sound, Li Haitang fell into a deep sleep.In the dream, she saw the Wu patriarch laughing arrogantly after getting the secret recipe, saw Wu Yinling being sent to the sacrificial ground to be punished with a rod for stealing, saw Wu Yinling's mother Jade Niangzi hurriedly come and hugged her daughter's body and cried to the sky, and saw the crowd of the eight major clans angry and attacked her cold-blooded ruthlessness."
She's crying?"
A low, hoarse voice broke the silence.Wu Yinling quietly let go of the tearful begonia in her dream, climbed down the hot kang and went to the outer room.The young man was so soft that he took the begonia into his arms, and the cold breath made her frown at the beautiful Ye Er."
Don't be afraid of silly girls, I'm here."
In the dreamland, a cloud covered the top, and the originally sunny sky suddenly thundered, and a big thunder thundered down, right in the middle of the arrogant and laughing Wu patriarch.Li Haitang woke up suddenly, and saw a familiar handsome and peerless face in a half-dream.Sakura pink lips opened slightly, muttering suspiciously."
Master?
Master?
