At the beginning of the lanterns, the moon was as cold as frost, and the Ruiting Garden was illuminated by the yellow and white light, shining brightly and translucently, like a bright pearl in the darkness.
After waving away the maid, Xia Chengyi sat in front of the desk, turned on the lamp, grinded the ink, spread out the paper, and picked up the pen.
When Mei Yuanchen was not at home, she had developed the habit of writing a letter before going to bed.
Just now, she had asked Zi Teng to free up more than 600 taels of silver. She also found Dahua's leather map from her father's study room before he was alive, and selected the route to Kuaizhou.
Everything was ready, and I was in a good mood. I ate dinner in a hurry and then returned to my room. I couldn't help but feel so happy——
Brother Yuanchen:
It has been sixteen days since you left. I wonder if you have arrived in Kuaizhou now?
Are your injuries getting better? But it still hurts?
You are acting in a difficult way, so you must obey Sister Yun's arrangements in everything.
As the New Year approaches, the wind and snow become more frequent. The jacket you bring when you go out is too thin. Remember to find a market to buy some clothing items.
If you arrive in Kuaizhou, everything will be fine. Are the two babies still healthy?
Today my brother came to see me again and let me go out to play for half a day.
I went to Clay Figurine King, and then went to Chang Lai Restaurant opposite.
At the dinner table, Ziteng gave me an idea, which I thought was pretty good.
That little girl told me to go to Kuaizhou to find you!
Haha, my brother took back all the money from the house. Fortunately, Ziteng, Lily and the other two little girls still had some money that they had saved privately, so I borrowed it for expenses.
But as agreed, I will try to disguise myself in the next few days, hire a carriage, and go all the way to Kuaizhou.
When you get to Kuaizhou, you are not allowed to be angry or have a straight face with me!
You don't know how boring and boring I am in my house these days. I don't want to be separated from you for so long anymore.
Don't worry, I know Kuaizhou will come back after seeing you, and I will never delay you from doing what you want to do. It’s just that in recent days, I have been restless and uneasy, and I always want to see you to feel at ease.
When you were in Jinzhou, I wanted to go there several times to find you, but in the end I couldn't make up my mind. This time, I don’t care about anything, I don’t care about anything, I just want to see you soon!
Brother Yuanchen, if all these things hadn't happened, we would have become husband and wife long ago and have been inseparable. You were hurt so badly. If I couldn't see you in person, it would feel like a heavy stone weighing on my heart, making it difficult for me to feel relaxed and sleep peacefully.
Although you can't see this letter, I still can't help but tell you. I hope that you and I are of the same mind and that you know what I mean.
Yiyi left a pen.
After the handwriting was dry, Xia Chengyi took out a piece of letterhead from the desk, folded the letter, packed it gently, and sealed it with wax drops.
On the left side of the desk, there is a sandalwood box that is more than a foot square, which has always been her best choice for storing treasures.
Xia Chengyi picked up a pen and wrote "forty-nine" on the front of the envelope again, opened the box drawer, carefully placed the envelope on a pile of letters, and then slowly put it away.
"Brother Yuanchen, your injury... I'm coming to Kuaizhou to find you!"
The rivers and lakes are separated by thousands of miles, and I hate to have no wings to fly with you.
... ...
Xu Sugong and Mei Yuanchen said that after arriving in the inner city of Ruozhou, he would send Duanmuyu to another place, while Xu Jiu sent Mei Yuanchen and Yun Xiaoyang straight into the Xu family.
"Good sister, you... you can go find your senior sister and the others later, okay?" As soon as the two of them settled in the small courtyard of Xujia Dongyuan, Mei Yuanchen grabbed Yun Xiaoyang's hand. Hand, begged softly.
Yun Xiaoyang turned her face away and nodded lightly.
"Little Master! Little Master!" Mei and Yun were hugging each other in the courtyard, and Zhi Lian shouted outside.
When guests arrive at a large household, the steward will register them. Zhi Lian was the external liaison person for Zhenwu Temple on this trip, so he was the best at inquiring about information. No, as soon as Mei Yuanchen settled down, he asked the manager about his residence and ran over in a hurry. .
"Is it Zhi Lian?" Mei Yuanchen let go of Yun Xiaoyang with a wry smile and replied in a serious voice.
"Uncle, it's me!" While answering, he had already entered the small courtyard, "Hey, who is this?"
Although he often goes to Guoshan, he has never seen Yun Xiaoyang, so he doesn't recognize her. Seeing her settling into the courtyard with her uncle, she couldn't help but think wildly.
Mei Yuanchen smiled and replied: "This is Hall Master Yun of Suxin Palace Jishi Hall. He has been performing acupuncture to treat my injuries."
The news that he was seriously injured was already known to almost everyone in the Zhenwu Temple. After hearing this, Zhi Lian understood the news and hurriedly bowed to Yun Xiaoyang and said, "Thank you, Palace Master Yun, for standing in for my uncle." Healing, Zhenwu Guan is grateful!"
Without waiting for her reply, he hurriedly said to Mei Yuanchen: "Ah, I forgot. I will tell Master and all the uncles right away!"
After saying that, he ran away with a sizzle and disappeared.
"You Taoist priests from Zhenwu Temple are much more lively than our disciples from Suxin Palace!" Yun Xiaoyang looked at the gate of the courtyard and sighed with a smile.
It was already past lunch time, and Yun Xiaomeng and Yi Qingxin were taking a walk in the yard where Yufeng Escort had rested.
This was the first time the two met since they left the capital together last time.
"Sister Yun, I heard that he suffered serious internal injuries. One of your hall masters from Suxin Palace is healing him, right?" Yi Qingxin asked as she walked.
Yufeng Escort Bureau was much better informed than Suxin Palace. However, one of the victims in this matter was from Suxin Palace. She thought that Yun Xiaomeng might know better.
Ever since the massacre of the Mei family happened, she had been worried that Mei Yuanchen wouldn't be able to bear it. For more than four months, she had been feeling depressed and couldn't cheer up for anything. Unfortunately, there was no news from the capital in the escort agency, so she had to keep worrying.
At the end of last month, when she heard that her grandfather was bringing someone to Ruozhou, she begged to come with him. She originally thought that she would take the opportunity to inquire about him after coming out, but she happened to hear that Mei Yuanchen had left the capital, perhaps heading to Ruozhou, so she followed the Yufeng Escort team honestly.
Unexpectedly, I didn't see the person I loved, but I met Yun Xiaomeng first.
"It was my junior sister who healed his injuries. My junior sister's golden needle skills are rare in the world. Come to think of it... Qingxin, don't worry too much. His injuries will definitely be cured." Yun Xiaomeng never lied, so he had to Comfort her from the side.
After Yi Qingxin listened, her eyes immediately became moist, and she asked softly: "Is his injury very serious?"
Yun Xiaomeng nodded slowly and replied: "The disciples came to report that Mr. Mei's true energy was reversed and his eight meridians were damaged, causing him to be in a coma for two months. However, the latest letter said that he had woken up. , I have started taking the decoction orally, so you should be more relaxed. Junior sister Xiaoyang’s medical skills are quite worthy of my master and ancestor, and I think she can cure his injuries."
She is the Lord of the First Palace, and her words are more precise than ordinary people, so she does not dare to say anything to death.
While the two were chatting, Yi Buyi caught up with them.
After saluting Yun Xiaomeng and saying hello, he said to his sister, "Qingxin, I want to tell you some good news."
"What good news?" Yi Qingxin tilted her head and asked, "It may be good news for you, but it may not be good news for me!"
Yi Buyi laughed a few times, shook his head and said, "Forget it, I won't say anything."
Seeing the playful look on her brother's face, Yi Qingxin thought about it and hurriedly asked: "What's the good news? Brother, you should tell me faster!"
"He's here." Yi Buyi calmed his breath and replied seriously, "Yuan Chen also arrived at the Xu family just now."
