Yuan Xi saw the door open and it was Mrs. Du who came out. Although he had been prepared, he was still surprised by her.
Mrs. Du has a very distinctive appearance, with a high nose and deep eyes, a gentle expression, and a curvy figure. She is about 20 years old, and has the charm of a young woman and a wife. Moreover, after not seeing each other for two years, she has become more and more attractive to her.
A special flavor comes out.
Yuan Xi thought to himself, no wonder Cao Cao likes wives. In this era, teenage women are all wives. Who wouldn't like a twenty-year-old who has both young and mature characteristics?
Mrs. Du also recognized Yuan Xi instantly, and she thought that it was Yinhu who secretly saved her!
No wonder the other party was able to grasp his whereabouts when he escaped. Except for people who know how to watch stars, who can predict it?
And looking at the other person's appearance, could it be that he shaved off his beard to change his appearance in order to see himself?
The sacrifice is too great!
At this moment, Mrs. Du was very moved!
She quickly bowed to Yuan Xi and said, "Sir, you put yourself in danger to save my concubine. I am really grateful!"
Yuan Xi looked confused, what is going on?
What risk did I take?
He tried a few words and found that Mrs. Du actually regarded him as his savior?
Mrs. Du's eyes were red, "I'm afraid the one who asked someone to bring me out of Marquis Wen's house was also Mr. Wen, right?"
"I know that my husband is in Youzhou and is under the command of a fierce tiger, but now he is willing to take risks, which makes me feel really uneasy."
Yuan Xi was stunned, could you please stop being so imaginative?
He rubbed his nose awkwardly and said, "Things are not what Madam thinks."
Mrs. Du saw Yuan Xi's tangled look. After thinking for a moment, she understood. Her face turned slightly red and she whispered: "I also understand what Mr. Xi wants."
"Sir saved my life, but I have nothing to repay. If you don't abandon me, I am willing to follow you."
ha?
Yuan Xi's face was dull, are you trying to conquer yourself?
Did you misunderstand something?
Seeing Yuan Xi's troubled expression, Mrs. Du thought that the other party was afraid of the fierce tiger's power. She felt ashamed and lowered her head and said: "I know that Mr. and Madam are deeply in love with each other. What I just said was indeed selfish. I can't protect myself alone, so I asked for help."
Mr. Asylum.”
"I'm too selfish, but I didn't expect the consequences of involving my husband. I just want to leave now."
Yuan Xi saw that Mrs. Du had created a big drama in her head, and wondered, did Mrs. Du have such a silly character?
He said aloud: "Miss Wen Hou is in the city. Madam is familiar with her. Why don't you meet her and instead come to me to seek asylum?"
"As Mrs. Fierce Tiger, how can she be more capable of protecting her than me?"
Mrs. Du sighed: "I don't want to cause any trouble to the noble daughter of Marquis Wen."
"Besides, I heard that the ferocious tiger is lustful and will take in women when he meets her. If he brings me into the room, how can I have the face to face the Wen Hou girl?"
Yuan Xi vomited blood, do I have such a bad reputation?
However, when he saw that Mrs. Du was so resistant to his original identity, he thought to himself that if he admitted his identity now, he would probably be even more confused, right?
Let’s talk about it in a few days, or should we just find someone to send it away?
He thought for a while and sighed: "There is something I have done that I am sorry for, madam."
"The idea of sending General Qin to Yuan Shu as an envoy was mine."
"What?" Mrs. Du was shocked and turned pale. "Does Sir know that if he follows Yuan Shu, he will divorce his concubine?"
Yuan Xi nodded, "That's right."
Mrs. Du took a few steps back, confused and asked, "Why do you treat me like this, sir?"
"I haven't done anything?"
"Mr."
Yuan Xi also felt a little guilty in his heart and sighed: "I will find someone to escort my wife out of the city someday. When the time comes, I will try my best to go wherever my wife is willing to go."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Mrs. Du didn't expect Yuan Xi to leave like this, but she was in a daze. What was this?
When Yuan Xi was walking on the road, regarding Mrs. Du, he thought that Qin Yilu couldn't protect Mrs. Du, so he simply let the two separate early.
But he didn't think it through at the time. Without Qin Yilu and no protection, Mrs. Du was in a more difficult situation. Yuan Xi knew that what he did was unethical and did not deal with the aftermath. It was tantamount to killing Mrs. Du but not burying her.
The predicament was caused by him.
Seeing that both of his identities were misunderstood by the other party, Yuan Xi suddenly lost interest in explaining. Moreover, he even boasted to Lu Lingqi, saying that he did not know the whereabouts of Mrs. Du. After doing this for a long time, the other party was related to him from the beginning to the end!
Now my confidence in Lu Lingqi has been blown away. According to my vow at that time, someone is probably going to hunt me down, right?
Feeling guilty, he sneaked back to the house. As soon as he entered the door, he bumped into Mrs. Hou.
Mrs. Hou hugged the child and hurriedly walked out with her head lowered. She didn't notice Yuan Xi, but she suddenly bumped into him. She let out a panic and fell back.
Yuan Xi had quick eyes and quick hands, and quickly grabbed Mrs. Hou's arm to stop her fall, so that Mrs. Hou did not fall.
When she looked up, her face turned red and her shoulders shook. Only then did Yuan Xi wake up and quickly let go.
Seeing Madam Hou's panicked look, he said, "Where are you going, madam?"
Mrs. Hou whispered: "The child has some fever. I thought it would be too late to call the doctor, so I went out to find a medical clinic."
Yuan Xi heard this and said, "Isn't Mr. Yuanhua in the military camp in the city?"
"It's much more reliable to find him than an ordinary doctor. I'll send you there."
Mrs. Hou quickly waved her hand and said, "I can go by myself. There is no need to delay the young master's important affairs."
Seeing Mrs. Hou's insistence, Yuan Xi had no choice but to call a carriage and ask Sun Li to take Mrs. Hou to see Hua Tuo.
He thought that although he didn't know what kind of disease Mrs. Hou's daughter had, there were frequent epidemics during this period, so he had to be careful.
In this era, infectious diseases have always been a very troublesome problem. Whether it is in terms of epidemic prevention awareness or related sanitary products, they are far from being comparable to those of later generations.
Let’s talk about the simplest masks. Because there is currently no cotton cultivation, the related substitutes are very different. Whether it is linen or silk yarn, the effect of making a mask is greatly reduced compared to cotton.
Thinking of this, Yuan Xi was a little anxious. Although the process from cotton planting to the spinning wheel used for cotton weaving was a long and complicated process, one year earlier would have the advantage of one year earlier.
Counting the fact that it has been almost a year since I asked Zhen Yao of Haixi to send a caravan to search for cotton, the Zhen family's caravan ships should be able to go back and forth even if they go to India for trade.
Cotton seeds are not a rare commodity, and the locals should be happy to trade them, but things are changing, and who knows what accidents may happen?
While he was thinking, he walked towards the house.
In the study room in the backyard, Cao Xian was explaining to Lu Lingqi what he was doing. Cao Xian's job was to read through it, and then select the essence and record it on the bamboo slips. The ordinary bamboo slips were filed and important matters were sent to Yuan Xi.
While listening, Lu Lingqi saw hundreds of bamboo slips piled all over the house. She couldn't help but be stunned, "Are you really his concubine, not his maid?"
"No one can use someone like this, even worse than a slave, right?"
Cao Xian laughed and said, "Madam is quite heroic, but I often feel resentful in my heart."
"But Madam should be able to see that my husband does not trust people easily. In fact, there are not many reliable people around him."
"So I can only bear these things reluctantly."
"Young master saved my family, I can only repay you in this way."
After hearing this, Lu Lingqi said: "I heard that Madam is the orphan of Duke Wenli?"
"Cao Mengde was the one who did it?"
After hearing this, Cao Xian said bitterly: "The thief Cao killed my whole family, and only four of us, mother and son, survived. We fell into the wolf's den. Life is worse than death. This revenge must be avenged!"
"Moreover, I still bear the surname of a thief, which is really a shame and a great disgrace!"
Lu Lingqi also heard Yuan Xi say this. Cao Xian was different from the Huan clan. If he wanted to recognize his ancestor and return to the clan, he would need Cao Cao's consent to return to the Bian clan, which was almost impossible.
Cao Xian obviously didn't want to cause trouble to Yuan Xi, so he endured it.
Lu Lingqi felt sympathy, waved her fist and said: "Don't worry, when we get to the battlefield, I will help you get Cao Cao's head!"
Cao Xian only thought that Lu Lingqi was comforting him, and said with a chuckle: "My wife has such a heart, I am very satisfied. Marquis Wen is also relieved, and he dares to let his wife follow her husband to the battlefield, and he is not afraid of an accident?"
Lu Lingqi said proudly: "Of course my father doesn't know, I keep these things from him!"
Cao Xian is absolutely stunning, while Lu Lingqi speaks straightforwardly and is really forthright.
She rolled her eyes and said, "My husband is nice to my wife, but it's quite hard at night, right?" After saying that, she held out her two thumbs for a sign.
Lu Lingqi was confused, "What night?"
Cao Xian lowered his voice, "Isn't Madam married?"
"Husband, sometimes you are not very considerate at night, right?"
She had a very gossipy expression on her face, "It is said that the women who spent the evening with the young master came out holding the wall the next day."
Lu Lingqi was confused for a long time, but she still seemed to understand. She rubbed her head and said, "It's a coincidence that I happened to come to Tiankui when I got married, and then I went straight to Beixin City all the way, but I didn't do anything at all."
"He was so aggressive at night? And he abused you?"
"Look, I will teach him a lesson tonight so that he will not dare to do this to you again!"
Cao Xian's eyes widened, where did you get your confidence?
But it seems that there is something good to watch tonight.
The small bench in the corner is ready!
At this moment, footsteps were heard and Yuan Xi's voice sounded, "So you are here."
He walked in, looked at the bamboo slips all over the room, and saw a dozen bald pens on the desk, and said to Cao Xian, "I have wronged you."
"When the autumn planting is over, we will go back to Jicheng together. Then I will arrange for others to do the things here."
Cao Xian exclaimed, "What about Mrs. Hou?"
Yuan Xi hesitated for a moment, "In the future, I want to focus on the entire territory of Youzhou. It is no longer suitable for scattered people to live here. We can go to Jicheng to save some manpower."
Cao Xian thought to himself that it would be lively by then. Madam Wu and Madam Hou were the two most important people, so they wouldn't be putting on big dramas every day?
The bench is ready!
She rolled her eyes, looking like she was just watching the excitement, and said, "Mrs. Lu said, I have a lot to say to you tonight."
