Tian Fu rested in the hut for more than two months, until spring came, and her body looked better than before.
Spring returns to the earth, and the silvery scenery blooms. When the roads begin to become muddy, she decides to change her life.
She gave the remaining things in her home to the villagers who had taken care of her. On the day she left the village, the house was so clean that it seemed like no one had ever lived there.
At this time, there was no bus available in the village, so she walked towards the direction of the town in her memory.
The road was deserted. If it weren't for the pleasant climate, she would have thought she was back in Mobei. She had planned the route last night and had preliminary control over the time. According to the journey that took her to the town on the ninth day of the Lunar New Year,
Guessing, she should be able to walk to the town before evening.
Tianfu wiped the thin sweat from her forehead. It was already sunset, but the surrounding scenery was still desolate. Although she didn't want to admit it, she had to face this problem head on. She was probably lost.
She stood there, slapping herself on the forehead with hatred, looking around, except for the barren mountains, there were wild forests. At this time, she was in a place with no village in front of her or any shop behind her. It was a question of where to rest at night.
Although it was almost April, the temperature in the morning and evening was still cold, and she could not sleep in the wilderness. She had no choice but to bite the bullet and move forward.
There was still unfinished medicine in the small bag on her back. She originally wanted to boil the medicine and take it after finding a place to stay. But when she saw it, she couldn't drink the medicine.
The cold air entered her throat, causing her to cough, as if her throat had been cut repeatedly with a knife. After a while, the familiar bloody smell filled her mouth again.
Her legs were like two logs, numb and swollen, and there was a dull pain in her knees. It was not an option to continue walking like this. Before the sun completely set over the mountain, she plunged into the edge of the wild forest and found a relatively tall tree to climb.
Go up. It's colder, but you don't have to worry about being attacked by wild animals.
She took out the medicine pack and found that there was no medicine decocted in water, so she chewed it dry. The smell was so choking that she almost vomited it out. Even so, in the second half of the night, she still vomited blood for a while, was blown by the wind for half the night, and had a headache.
It was as if it had exploded. Her vision went black for a while, and she could not see anything. In recent days, she occasionally became blind for a moment, but she did not panic now. She wanted to get up and sit for a while, and raised her hand to help her.
When she reached the branch, her hand came up empty. She couldn't control her body and fell directly from the height of the two of them.
When her whole body hit the ground, she clearly heard a crisp sound coming from nowhere in her body, and her body was so stiff that she could no longer feel the pain.
Your uncle's.
This was her last trace of consciousness.
It was early in the morning when I regained consciousness.
Thinking of the last scene before fainting, Tian Fu stood up suddenly.
There was a soft touch under her hands, and she realized that she was in a strange and gorgeously decorated room. Suddenly there was the sound of firecrackers outside the window, and with everyone playing, it was not difficult to guess that there must be some big happy event today.
She got out of bed and saw that her clothes had also been changed. She racked her brains, but she could never remember what had happened. Just as she was about to go to the window to see what was going on outside, she saw the door of the room being pushed open.
open.
A little girl came in, she looked no more than thirteen or fourteen years old, and she was holding a basin in her hand. She obviously didn't expect that Tian Fu had woken up. She looked out the window as she walked, her round eyes full of surprise.
"What's going on outside?"
Tim Fu asked.
The little girl was obviously frightened, and the basin came out of her hand, splashing water all over Tianfu.
She was obviously frightened and apologized to Tian Fu repeatedly: "My lord, I'm sorry."
Tianfu waved his hand indifferently: "Have you been taking care of me these days?"
The little girl timidly handed over the square scarf, not daring to raise her head to look at her: "Yes."
Tianfu asked again: "Who sent me here?"
The little girl shook her head: "I have never seen that gentleman, but the way he is dressed does not look like an ordinary person. He threw it at the door... I left you, noble man, and left a lot of money before leaving."
"You didn't leave a word?"
The little girl rolled her eyes, but it wasn't like she didn't leave anything behind. After the man threw her to the ground, he left her with the words "If you can save her, save her, if you can't, throw it away." But with these words, even if
She couldn't tell even if she thought about it with her feet. She hesitated for a moment and shook her head unceremoniously.
Tian Fu Fu Fu, it seems that it is not easy to find this savior to repay his kindness.
When the little girl saw that she was silent, she added, "My lord, how are you feeling? Doctor Wang from the medicine hall said that if you still have signs of bleeding, you should change your prescription as soon as possible."
After her reminder, Tian Fu later realized that after he woke up, his whole body was smooth and his body was much lighter. He nodded immediately and said, "I wonder which medicine hall Doctor Wang is at?"
She had to go over and say thank you.
The little girl stretched out her hand and pointed into Xianqi: "It's the 'Wang Fu Medicine Hall' in the alley. Doctor Wang said that you have accumulated cold in your body and the moisture is too heavy, so the medicine cannot be cut off. The medicine is fried in the backyard and will be given to you in a moment.
Send it up."
Tian Fu said "Thank you very much" and asked, "Is there any happy event outside today?"
Mentioning this, the little girl's face turned red with two blushes: "Today is King Ding Qi's big day, and they are all celebrating."
I have heard my father mention it several times that Dingqi Wang Tianfu is the seventh son of the emperor and the direct descendant of the queen.
When he mentioned him, his father's words were full of praise. Looking at his wedding today, the people set off firecrackers along with it. Many shops even spontaneously set up running water mats in front of the door. Everyone was as happy as if they were celebrating the New Year. They wanted to come to this prince's wedding.
Good is worthy of the name.
Tianfu suddenly thought of a question: "Where is this?"
"Changxing."
Changxing is the capital of Daqi. Tianfu was stunned, she actually arrived at the capital? Changxing is at least dozens of miles away from the small village, and it is in the opposite direction to the town. Sure enough, she took the wrong road in the first place, no wonder along the way
No one is seen.
"My lord, please rest for now. I'll go down and get some medicine for you. The shopkeeper said that the husband left enough money for you to live here for half a year. Don't worry, although our shopkeeper is not a local, he is also a local."
A good person will never be greedy for money. After all, our inn has just opened and we need to establish a firm foothold here."
The people of Daqi are simple and honest, and there should not be many real bad guys.
After the little girl left, Tianfu couldn't help but sigh. She had thought before that her savior must be from a wealthy family, but she never imagined that he was so rich. How could she repay this kindness?
Later in the evening, Tianfu went out for some fresh air after dinner.
In her impression, Mobei was so far away from Changxing that she could never reach it in her lifetime, but now she was actually standing in the middle of Changxing City. This encounter was nothing short of magical.
After all, at the feet of the Emperor, there were beautiful buildings, carved beams and painted buildings, and small shops on the street stood side by side. Everything was so well-proportioned. She originally thought that the small town was already extremely prosperous, but she never imagined that every mountain would be higher than the other. Changxing
That's really stunning.
After sighing enough, she walked towards the medicine hall.
Wangfu Medicine Hall is located at the deepest part of the alley. When she entered, the doctor was sitting in the hall and the clerk was taking medicine. Both of them were very busy.
When Doctor Wang raised his head and saw Tian Fu entering the room, his expression suddenly changed. He put down what he was doing and called the waiter to come over and salute.
"I wonder why the girl came to the medicine hall today? But where are you injured?"
The doctors and clerks were all trembling in front of her, and they looked like they didn't dare to breathe, just like when she was a child and was caught by her father after stealing chickens from the camp and letting them go.
"I……"
Tianfu was deeply surprised, and just as he was about to speak, he heard someone shout loudly: "Hurry up, people from the Wangfu are coming to the street to hand out wedding candies to everyone, come out quickly and enjoy your honor."
I saw a room full of people who had been very sick just now. After hearing this, they immediately became energetic. Everyone supported each other and rushed out. At this time, the street was already crowded with people. These patients were rushing left and right in the crowd, one by one.
It can be said to be the spirit of dragon and horse.
Tianfu could see that Dr. Wang and his assistant also wanted to go out to grab wedding candies, and he was too embarrassed to delay them. He waved his hands and stepped aside to get out of the way. However, he saw that these two people were running faster than the patients just now, as if there were fierce ghosts behind them.
She was chasing. She felt that something was wrong with the way the doctor and the clerk looked when they saw her just now, and the words they said sounded strange. Maybe there was something she didn't know about?
I have a headache, don't worry about it for now.
As soon as the man just called Wangfu to send wedding candies, the whole city was instantly deserted. Tianfu also went out to join in the fun. She stood at the end of the crowd, looking at the people in front of them who wanted to step on their companions in order to grab the candies.
There was a young lady beside her who whispered to her companions: "My heart is really broken when the prince gets married. It is true that people like you and me can't even touch the door of the prince's palace, but if he
Even if we don’t get married, we might as well have something to think about, but now this...sigh."
"Shameless." Her companion laughed at her, and finally laughed, sighing, "Actually, I am also..."
"From now on, I can only live my life looking at his little portrait. After seeing a man like that, who would be willing to find a mediocre person?"
The two of them were talking and took out a small piece of paper from their purse. As they looked at it, they started to cry, which made Tian Fu frown. Is it possible for these little ladies? She thought, and quietly
He glanced at the two of them.
Sensing her gaze, the little lady holding the statue turned sideways alertly, clearly not wanting to share it with her. But when she saw her face clearly, the two young ladies immediately froze on the spot, and they exchanged glances.
Feng, I didn’t know what to do for a moment.
It was their stiffness that allowed Tianfu to see clearly the man in the portrait.
The man's sword-shaped eyebrows were slanted, his jaw was square, and his clear eyes contained the strength of gold and iron. Although his elegance was not as good as her own, she still recognized that the man in the painting was Chujiu, the dog-man who took half of her life.
It had been several months since the two of them had seen each other. If it hadn't happened to be his wedding today, she would probably never want to think of him again in this life.
A delicate red pouch suddenly fell into her hand. A closer look revealed that it was King Dingqi's wedding candy that everyone could not grab.
Tianfu couldn't help but feel ironic, this was a symbol of that person's good life. She threw the small bag on the ground casually. When the young lady next to her saw her behavior, she wanted to exclaim. She felt that this person did not know what was good and what was good.
Needless to say, she was actually a bit bold, even daring to mess with things belonging to the palace, but after thinking about it, it seemed reasonable to do such a thing to her.
Aware of the eyes around him, Tian Fu paused, then stepped on the red bag, and then walked away.
After finally entering the capital, she naturally wanted to take a stroll here, but Tian Fu didn't have much money, so she had to find a job. Somehow, Doctor Wang's face suddenly entered her mind. Later,
At that time, she went to the medicine hall again. At this time, Doctor Wang was greeting the waiter to close the door.
He was about fifty years old, and his movements were a little slow. While packing things on the table, he muttered: "I don't know why that good aunt doesn't look down on my little medicine shop. Have you offended her recently?"
?Otherwise why would she come looking for bad luck?"
Tianfu felt that the "aunt" mentioned by Dr. Wang was probably him.
The waiter also had a sad face: "You think too highly of me. Let's not mention the Demon King Auntie, but just say how dare we mess with the Lord of Plague Lord? They are not at odds with each other, and I can't even hide in time."
The two talked for a while and finally reached an agreement: "These two people must have had conflicts again recently. I think we should close the store to ensure safety."
The more Tianfu listened, the more confused he became, so he stepped forward and stopped the two of them: "What did you mean just now?"
As soon as her voice came out, Doctor Wang and the clerk couldn't help but look at each other. They both closed the door faster. Doctor Wang implored her through the last crack in the door: "Girl, old man, this is a small business. Don't get in trouble with us."
Okay, if you have anything to do, please go back to your house and ask me, sir, please don’t take it out on my medicine hall."
After saying that, the door closed with a bang, leaving only a confused Tian Fu.
It seems like this is a medicine hall with a story.
When he went back to the inn, he called the little girl and asked her, "Do you know who I am?"
Since Dr. Wang and the two young ladies just now looked very unnatural when they saw her, I guess someone who looks very similar to her should be someone who everyone is wary of, right? She must get to know that person, and she doesn't care about others.
, she was just afraid that wearing this face would affect her ability to earn a living.
The little girl was obviously confused: "Ah? Sir, can't you remember who you are? What should I do? I'll go talk to Doctor Wang and see if he can cure your problem."
It seemed that the little girl didn't know who that person was.
Tianfu asked again: "I wonder if your inn is still short of manpower?"
The little girl shook her head: "Our inn only has five rooms, I can do it by myself." After saying that, she saw that Tianfu was a little lost in thought, and asked again: "My lord, do you want to find a job?"
Tianfu nodded, "I'm almost running out of money."
The little girl was silent for a while, "The only one recruiting people recently is the newly opened martial arts gym in Liushafang. It is said that the owner of the gym has a good background with the Tian family, but it is a hard job of sweeping. I'm afraid you, noble man, are not too strong.
suitable."
Tianfu can endure all kinds of hardships. Now that I heard that there is a place, I feel half relieved.
The next day, she went to the martial arts gym early. Because it was just a cleaning job, the requirements for job applicants were not high, but she was a little worried that no one would dare to use her because of her face, so when she first entered the house
, she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, but fortunately the other party just glanced at her, briefly understood her situation, and then threw her a set of clothes.
"You will be responsible for the front yard and the Xuanwu Hall. You will start work at the quarter hour and finish work at the quarter hour. The martial arts hall will take care of the food. You will be paid ten cents a day, and the wages will be paid daily."
The salary of a second-grade official is 9,000 cash per month, but she can earn 10 cash just by sweeping the yard in one day. She is worthy of being backed by the Tian Family, and the prices offered by this martial arts school are really very conscientious.
She quickly put on her martial arts training clothes, dragged a broom half a person's height to the front yard and started cleaning.
Her father always punished her to do this kind of work when she was young, so she got started quickly and cleaned the front yard in less than an hour. Since it was the first day of work, even though she had already finished her share of the work,
But she didn't want to go to bed too early, so she pretended to pick up the broom and started cleaning again from the east corner.
She swept backwards all the way, and when she reached the middle of the yard, she accidentally stepped on someone. She quickly turned around and bent down to apologize to the person.
"I accidentally bumped into the noble man. I hope you won't be blamed."
She kept bowing, her head almost hanging to her chest, looking very humble. She only asked the other party to be upright and honest, and to forgive her carelessness as soon as possible, so that she could go to the other side to clean.
The person in front of her didn't speak for a long time. Tianfu was too tired to maintain the same posture. She quietly raised her eyes and saw four brocade boots parked in front of her. The one with shoe prints on it was wearing a black brocade Hu suit.
, the clothes are embroidered with dark dark patterns, and the hem of the clothes occasionally flutters in the wind.
"Your Majesty, your wedding was not a happy one yesterday? I see, you seem to be trying to cause trouble for my martial arts school?"
The other person couldn't help but joke when he saw this. He could tell that the two of them had a very good relationship, but what he said made Tian Fu feel cold.
The prince who got married yesterday is probably the only one in the whole country.
Tianfu's head dropped even lower. There was no warning about the reunion, but it carried a heavy weight that made people unable to look directly.
I don't know how long it took, but the man finally said: "That's it, get up."
The tone was very calm, with the dignity of a superior, completely different from when he scolded her, but the tone was still correct.
When Tianfu heard this, she stood up straight and did not raise her head the whole time. Until the two pairs of boots gradually disappeared from her face, she finally couldn't help but turn her head and glance.
After not seeing each other for a while, he seemed to have lost some weight. Tian Fu shook his head suddenly, forget it, what does it have to do with her whether he is alive or dead now? She can hardly even provide food and clothing.
Aware of the inquiring gaze, before entering the door, Wu Gou, the master of the martial arts gym, looked back. At this time, Tian Fu had completely turned around, but his back looked a little disappointed. He raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at himself
The friend who always has a straight face around him.
"That person just now is an old acquaintance of the prince?"
Unexpectedly, no one paid him any attention. He touched his nose angrily and felt happy when he saw the evil face beside him getting darker and darker.
Wu Gou is the son of the former Taifu. Because of his talent and intelligence when he was young, he was selected by the Holy Emperor to be the companion of the princes in the palace. He is said to be a companion, but everyone knows that the companion is just to scold and punish the nobles.
of.
The rest of the princes were all well-behaved by nature, but the seventh prince, Yuan Xi, was naughty by nature, so the Holy Emperor gave him the word "steady" as the word, and pinned his wish that this monkey would be more stable on this word, but obviously, the effect was not great.
The night before entering the palace, Wu Gou's father took him to kneel all night in his family's Buddhist hall, praying to God for mercy and not letting him, the only son of the Wu family, fall into the hands of Yuan Xi. But obviously, the effect was not great.
Empress Yuan Xi fell in love with Wu Gou at first sight.
At that time, Wu Gou was not called Wu Gou. His given name was Jin, and his courtesy name was Ling. Taifu Wu was afraid that his son's life would be in the hands of Yuan Xi, so he changed his name to "Gou" for him, hoping that his life could be taken care of at any time.
return.
Thinking of what happened when he was a child, Wu Gou's palms still feel burning pain.
Seeing that Yuan Xi had been silent since he sat down, Wu Gou poured him a cup of tea with a smile. He felt that it was a wise move for his father to resign at his peak. Otherwise, he would have said nothing with a cold face.
Nine times out of ten, people who have it will have one of their own.
"You've been busy getting married these days, so you probably don't know that Fang Qihe made a fool of himself again yesterday." He changed the subject tactfully, "He thought the women in the brothel were not attractive to him, so he scolded his mother on the spot, and immediately prepared to start his own business after returning home.
A brothel.”
Yuan Xi held the tea cup and still said nothing when she heard the words.
Wu Gou sighed: "I don't know if it's your blessing or your fault that the relationship between you two is so tense."
Fang Qihe, the hereditary Marquis of Valor, was the number one dude in Da Qi. He had never done anything to get along with anyone, but he was good at eating, drinking and having fun. When people mentioned him, they all felt sorry for the loyal Fang family.
After all, the Fang family has been a family of military commanders for hundreds of years. Who would have thought that this generation would produce such an ineffective thing? The old lady was so angry that she locked herself up in the Fang family's annex and worshiped Buddha every day without even leaving the Buddhist hall.
"How about I keep an eye on him?"
Yuan Xi finally responded at this time, "No need, just let him go."
Wu Gou had not yet entered the official service, so Yuan Xi was unwilling to involve him in the court.
"That's all, I have no interest in these things." After Wu Gou finished speaking, seeing that Yuan Xi was silent again, he stood up from his seat and said, "I'm going to call the little lady in just now and let her check on the prince.
Let’s see how powerful she is, how she managed to confuse King Qi like this.”
Before he could take a step forward, Wu Gou's wrist tightened suddenly, and Yuan Xi finally responded, but the force was so strong that Wu Gou almost knelt down in pain.
Wu Gou hurriedly begged for mercy: "Oh, my lord, I was joking. Please relax your strength. My wrist will really become useless in a while."
Yuan Xi then shook him off fiercely, not forgetting to glare at him angrily: "Get out of here, I'm leaving."
Seeing that he seemed really angry, Wu Gou hurriedly asked someone to stay: "I just hired a cook a few days ago to make soup dumplings. Are you serious about not trying it?"
