Let Me Pursue You

Lu Shiqing really couldn't take it anymore, and originally wanted to be gentle in his refusal, but since she was just fooling him, he was not polite, and said: "The county magistrate is kind, Lu appreciates it, but I have eaten too much breakfast." After finishing speaking, stretch out He stretched out his seemingly noble fingertips, and pushed the thing far away.

At the side, Lu Shuangyu's eyes moved slowly following his movements, looking at the two drawers of food boxes, as if to see if there was a share for her.

Yuan Cixian didn't have time to pay attention to her at this moment, so she concealed her guilty conscience and said, "Then I'll come earlier some other day, so that I can catch up with you for breakfast."

"The county lord has injured his legs and feet, so he should rest in peace and recuperate. I don't need you to worry about Mr. Lu."

She smiled apologetically: "How can I not miss you, you are also injured! In fact, I came to check on your injury today." She glanced at the back of his hand, "Is your hand feeling better?"

When Lu Shiqing came back from Yuan Mansion yesterday, he wrapped up the wound medicine, wrapped the gauze back, looked down and said: "It has been dealt with properly, there is no serious problem."

"I brought the wound medicine. It's an ointment made from a prescription that my father has been pondering for many years. I can't find it in ordinary places." She said, and took out some bottles and jars from the medicine cabinet.

Yuan Cixian wanted to put down a few bottles of medicine and leave, but remembering the embarrassment just now, she wanted to make up for it, and said, "I'll change the medicine for you and re-wrap your wound."

Lu Shiqing put his hands back into his sleeves: "Don't dare to bother the county magistrate, you left the medicine, Lu is very grateful."

Another cliché.

Yuan Cixian was not very happy, ignored him, and directly ordered a few maids beside him: "You guys, bring me two basins of clean water."

The servants of Lu's mansion were much more obedient than Lu Shiqing, and when she gave her a sharp look, he dared not disobey because of her status, so he obediently went to fetch water.

Lu Shiqing frowned: "The county master is willing to go back to the mansion after Lu has changed his medicine and wrapped up his wound?"

Yuan Cixian nodded with a serious expression.

He could only sigh, lowered his head and removed the gauze.

Yuan Cixian stood up with the medicine box in hand, remembering to act like he was limping, but when he came up to him, he was shocked when he saw the back of his hand, and the honorifics disappeared: "This is the appearance of taking care of it properly." ? You don’t want this hand anymore!”

There was a bright red thin scab growing on the back of his hand, and several deep wounds showed signs of suppuration, which was really shocking.

Lu Shuangyu on the side was also quite frightened, and asked, "Brother, why did you get hurt so badly?"

Thinking that he was too embarrassed to answer, Yuan Cixian explained for him: "My elder brother beat me." Then she turned around and ordered, "Bring some salt, hot water and cotton towels."

After she finished speaking, she grabbed his hand.

It is said that ten fingers connect to the heart, when Lu Shiqing grabbed her, her heart seemed to be numb by some weird force. He subconsciously wanted to pull out his fingertips, but Yuan Cixian yelled, "What are you hiding, I won't eat you!"

He froze and froze.

Lu Shuangyu and the maids in the room gasped together.

This scene is too weird. Someone actually managed to touch their husband—someone actually managed to touch their husband, and they haven't been overthrown yet.

Lu Shiqing himself felt that something was wrong. Since the "hand-to-hand fight" in the field, his tolerance for skin-to-skin contact with others seems to have increased, and he suppressed that disgust with just a slight restraint.

Yuan Cixian waited for the servants to come, and in front of him, she took clean water to wash her hands, then soaked in salt water, picked up a cotton handkerchief and said: "It will hurt a little, bear with it, you can scream if you can't help it."

"..." She wanted him to be called a big man.

Yuan Cixian asked people to move a chair and stool, sat down in front of his knees, pinched his fingertips with one hand, and wiped him with a cotton pad soaked in salt water with the other.

When the salt water touched the wound, it should be painful, but Lu Shiqing felt itchy and couldn't help shivering slightly.

Yuan Cixian only thought that he was in pain, and didn't pay much attention to it. He hurriedly asked: "Since you have treated it, there is no reason why it has become so bad. The wound was covered with medicinal powder before?"

He was silent for a while, and said "hmm" calmly.

Of course he wasn't wrapped in medicinal powder, but he put on a layer of makeup powder before going to Yuan Mansion yesterday. The effect was quite good, and it was covered with wide sleeves without showing any flaws, but it did aggravate the injury. He originally planned to change the dressing early in the morning, but was delayed by several official documents.

Yuan Cixian sighed: "You should use ointment for this wound, not powder. You said that if your hand is useless, I..."

She stopped suddenly at this point.

Lu Shiqing raised his eyes, as if waiting for her to continue.

Yuan Cixian originally wanted to say that if his hand were to be crippled, her elder brother would be guilty of a serious crime. When he got to the point of speaking, seeing his slightly expectant eyes, he immediately shrugged and said: "I It hurts so much!"

Lu Shiqing laughed at her exaggerated acting skills in his heart, but he didn't expose it, and glanced at her coldly.

Lu Shuangyu stared dryly at the side, watching them come and go, her mouth shriveled in grievance. It's fine without her breakfast, and now it has become such a superfluous existence.

She once thought that the cruelest thing in the world was that the man she liked was actually a little lady, and a little lady who was prettier than her. Now I know that this is not the cruelest. What is even more sad is that this little lady wants to be his sister-in-law.

Yuan Cixian continued to work with her head down.

The thick yellow dirty water was squeezed out little by little, Lu Shiqing looked at it, his stomach twitched for a while, and when he looked up, he saw that the person opposite him was very patient, his long eyelashes fluttering like a fan, his expression was uncharacteristically docile, rarely seemed to be sincere to him.

Seeing that her bandaging technique was skillful and experienced, and the folded corners of the gauze were well hidden, and it was as if she had made an ornament in a short while, Lu Shiqing was a little surprised.

He restrained his curiosity at first, and when she finished her work and washed her hands with clean water from a basin beside her, he couldn't help but probing: "The county magistrate's way of wrapping her wounds is exquisite."

It's always a pleasure to be praised, Yuan Cixian didn't expect him to be clichéd, and said triumphantly: "When the doctors in the army and Chinese medicine were too busy, I often went to help."

Lu Shiqing was taken aback for a moment, then frowned and asked, "In the army?"

Her complexion changed slightly, she stared at him for a while, and finally said frankly in his sharp eyes: "I have marched with Dad..." After speaking, she leaned towards him, bent down and whispered Said, "Father told me not to speak out, so as not to be spread badly by those who are interested... You should keep it secret for me."

Sitting on the chair, Lu Shiqing looked up at her and nodded slightly. The King of Southern Dian is the only county king with a different surname in the Great Zhou Dynasty, so he is naturally very popular and enviable. When a woman joins the army, she is placed on others or has a good reputation as a heroine. If she changes to the Yuan family, she may be talked about dirty.

Seeing his answer, Yuan Cixian looked at Lu Shuangyu with a smile again: "Miss Lu, you too."

When she smiled, her eyes were like crescent moons, making it impossible for anyone to say a word of rejection. Lu Shuangyu nodded without thinking.

Yuan Cixian turned his head to pack the medicine jars, and explained which bottle of medicine Lu Shiqing should change at night. After thinking about something, he turned around and asked, "Lu Shilang, I have something to tell you. You may ask Miss Lu and these servants to stay away first." ?”

Lu Shuangyu grabbed Lu Shiqing's cuff and asked her cautiously, "What do you want to do to my brother?"

Yuan Cixian looked innocent, what could she do, she felt funny seeing her like this, pretending to be ambiguous: "It's the elders' business, don't worry about it."

Lu Shiqing coughed uncomfortably.

Seeing that he looked embarrassed and didn't know where he wanted to go, she added with a smile: "It's really about the elders. Mr. Lu, it's about the Uighur caravan. I have some doubts and want to explain to you."

Lu Shiqing's erratic thoughts were wiped out at once, straightened his back, calmed down and ordered: "Everyone go down."

After everyone in the room was gone, Yuan Cixian sat across from him and asked, "Does Minister Lu know what kind of arrowheads are in the goods of the Uyghurs?"

Of course Lu Shiqing knew about it, but he replied: "Lu investigates the case for the saint, and is only responsible for telling the truth, and doesn't care about the rest."

The tongue is so tight. She had no choice but to say: "Let me tell you my opinion, and listen to whether it makes sense. These three-winged arrowheads are not ordinary playthings, but military weapons. From Wu Xingji's house to Chang'an Jinxiu Village, and then to this group of Uighur merchants... definitely not Just a normal fight."

Lu Shiqing casually echoed "Yes".

"But the more involved this matter is, the more important people are involved, the more I feel that there may be elements of framing."

Lu Shiqing hesitated for a moment, then raised his eyes: "How do you say that?"

"There are too many doubts. For example, in front of the gate of Xishifang, the confrontation between the caravan and the gatekeepers is particularly ostentatious. Another example is the flaws easily exposed by the shop assistants and shopkeepers in Jinxiu Village. Another example is the country bungalows, which seem to be tight, but are actually full of loopholes. Defense. At first I thought, maybe they were just doing some dirty little business, but when I saw those arrowheads, and then thought back to the day, I felt strange. How can someone who can do such a "big thing" commit such a low-level crime so often? It’s a mistake? Maybe someone wants to use this to frame someone, so they deliberately arranged these for people to find out.”

At the end of her speech, she quietly observed Lu Shiqing's face, but saw that he said as usual: "Lu Mou knows, and tomorrow I will report the county master's opinion to the saint, and ask him to make a decision."

It's this attitude of rejecting others for thousands of miles and not revealing anything. Yuan Cixian couldn't find out anything, so she had to give up.

The room was silent for a moment, and there was no words for a moment, the two suddenly turned their heads to look outside the fan, and said in unison: "Who?"

With a "snap", something fell to the ground. The person hiding outside the fan and trying to listen to the corner slowly picked up the things and walked in.

It was Lu Shuangyu who had gone and returned with a guilty face.

Lu Shiqing reprimanded coldly: "Who taught you the ability to listen to the corner?"

Lu Shuangyu pursed her lips and said, "I didn't hear it, you two have such good ears..." She looked at Yuan Cixian, "I didn't do it on purpose, I see it's cloudy outside, I'm afraid it will rain later, so come here The county magistrate sent an umbrella." As he spoke, he lifted an oil-paper umbrella in his hand.

Lu Shiqing knew that she was just looking for an excuse, and said sharply: "How dare you argue? You haven't copied books for a long time, and your hands are itchy?"

Lu Shuangyu looked aggrieved: "Brother, why bother to attack me in front of outsiders... I haven't seen you say a single word to the county magistrate..."

After she spoke, her voice became softer and softer. Yuan Cixian still felt uncomfortable when she heard the word "outsider", but after hearing the following sentence, she suddenly became happy.

Lu Shiqing had never been so fierce to her.

As soon as she was happy, she was ready to relieve Lu Shuangyu, and said generously: "Okay, okay, listening to the corner thing, I often do it, it's not a big deal."

Lu Shiqing flew over with a sharp eye.

What's the matter, after serving his servants, he wants to discipline his sister for him?

Seeing that he was displeased, Yuan Cixian cleared her throat and said in the middle: "But next time I can't do it again. Today is me, if I change the important guest, I will make your brother look bad."

Lu Shiqing felt that this sentence made sense, glanced at his sister, and asked, "Did you hear that?"

Lu Shuangyu looked at the two singing together with complicated emotions, and nodded: "I see."
