The very alluringly smiling person?
(T/N: I forgot to ntion last chapter but the ‘alluringly’ she uses here is an internet slang which can also an like flashy or showy.)
Leng Er heard Du Xiao Li’s words and couldn’t help bursting into laughter, nodding his head as he says, “That is our young master’s childhood friend, Ji Liu Feng. Young master Ji learned that our young master is here recuperating, and thus ca to see him.”
“Oh, so you ca to the county seat this ti to pick him up?” Du Xiao Li asked.
“Yes.” Leng Er replied.
Du Xiao Li watched her surroundings flying pa.s.s her, sighing at how much cooler the horse carriage was than the ox cart. Thinking of this horse carriage’s owner, her own money tree, she casually asked, “How is your young master right now?”
“He’s already much better now.” Leng Er replied, “It’s all thanks to you girl.”
Ji Liu Feng heard Leng Er’s words and was sowhat confused. Why does this uncultured girl have to be thanked for Han Ming Yi getting better?
That’s right, just an uncultured girl! If not for him being magnanimous, he would have certainly let her suffer today.
“By the way, what did you go to the county seat alone for?” Leng Er asked.
“I ca to send big brother to school.” Du Xiao Li said, “Thanks to your young master, my big brother can finally return to school now.”
“You really let your big brother go to school?” Leng Er had previously heard Du Xiao Li say that once they have money she’ll let her brother attend school. He’d thought that she was just saying.
“Of course! Haven’t you heard before, ‘no culture, really scary.’ I don’t want my big brother to grow up and not know anything!” Du Xiao Li said.
Having been influenced by modern tis, attending school and studying was sothing a person must experience. Du Xiu Heng was only ten years old, so naturally he needed to attend school.
“Then won’t you be alone at ho? Aren’t you scared?” Leng Er asked.
“What’s there to be scared of?” Du Xiao Li said, “I don’t believe in those ghosts and spirits anyways.”
In the carriage, Ji Liu Feng listened to Leng Er’s conversation with Du Xiao Li, and beca even more interested in this peasant girl. Don’t look at how Leng Er was rather causal, no matter what he was still soone by a prince’s side. Ordinary people, he wouldn’t even look at. Yet now he was unexpectedly chatting this happily with a rural peasant girl. Could it be that she wasn’t Niu old man’s little friend, but Leng Er’s?
The horse carriage very quickly arrived at the village. Du Xiao Li got off at the fork in the road. Towards Leng Er, she sweetly smiled and said, “Thank you, see you later Leng Er.”
With that said, she followed along the little trail and headed up the mountain. Leng Er then drove the horse carriage to Niu Jing’s ho. And after Ji Liu Feng got off, he parked the carriage behind the house.
Leng Yi was already waiting outside the courtyard for them. Seeing Ji Liu Feng, he cupped his fist and respectfully bowed, “Young master Ji.”
“Leng Yi, where’s your master?” Ji Liu Feng patted Leng Yi’s shoulder and asked.
“You really are daring enough, not even bringing a single bodyguard, and running here just like this.” Han Ming Yi stood under the eaves and looked at the person standing outside the courtyard, scolding.
“How boring is it to bring a lot of bodyguards.” Ji Liu Feng saw Han Ming Yi and entered by directly leaping over the bamboo fence. Coming to his side, he put one hand on his shoulder. Seeing that his complexion was even more pale than when he’d left, Ji Liu Feng asked with a frown, “Why do I feel that your body is getting even worse?”
Han Ming Yi waved his hand to slap away the hand on his shoulder and said, “There already aren’t anymore major issues now.”
The poison was already expelled. Right now, he only needed to adjust his body. However, that girl said that the nerves were already damaged, so the twitching symptoms will still act up, just it won’t be that severe.
That girl, why did he suddenly think of that girl?
“Oh, let tell you, on our way back, we encountered a girl. That must be your family’s Leng Er’s little friend right? I asked him, and he actually denied it.” Ji Liu Feng said.
“What little friend?” Han Ming Yi asked. Why didn’t he know that his own bodyguard had a little friend?
“That girl that’s learning how to distinguish dical ingredients from old man Niu. I saw them talking and laughing the whole way, if not his little friend, then what is she.” Ji Liu Feng said.
“You’re thinking too much.” Han Ming Yi rewarded him with an annoyed look, then turned around and started heading towards the house, saying: “There’s only a few rooms here, just have to let Leng Yi and Leng Er stay in one, and you sleep in the one Leng Yi previously slept in. Don’t say I didn’t warn you, if you don’t write a letter to General Ji, then just wait to get sorted out by him when you get back.”
Ji Liu Feng followed Han Ming Yi into the hose and asked, “How long are you going to stay here? That way I can give my father a return date.”
“At least three to five months.” Han Ming Yi finished saying and then returned to his own room, no longer paying attention to the person who was still debating whether or not to write a letter ho.
Du Xiao Li returned back up the mountain. Since coming to this world, there has always been two people in this house, but now only she remained. She suddenly felt a bit lonely. Letting out a sigh, under the blazing sun, she had the dical herbs in the wicker basket flipped over once. Afterwards, she returned to her own room and began tidying up the things in the house.
“This is?” Du Xiao Li found a small box at the very bottom of a chest. It was made from the highest quality sandalwood, and there was even a magnolia flower carved on top. She tried to recall. In her mories, she seed to have once seen Su Su Xin shedding a tear over this small box.
“This is mother’s box.”
She opened the box, and saw only an erald jade pendant and a white jade plum blossom hairpin placed inside. She had the jade pendant and hairpin taken out and looked them over. Both were all made from high quality jade, not sothing ordinary people could afford to use.
While in a daze, she recalled that ti she saw Su Su Xin crying over this box, and had gone in to ask her why. Upon seeing the hairpin in the box, she’d said, ‘So pretty.’
At the ti, Su Su Xin gave her the hairpin to look at, saying: “This is what your maternal grandmother gave when I married. When Xiao Li marries, mother will also give it to you.”
Thinking back to Su Su Xin’s words at the ti, this ant her forr family was very wealthy and n.o.ble. Du Xiao Li suddenly beca a bit suspicious. Why would soone like her marry a rural peasant farr? In this feudal era, how could her family have agreed?!
This hairpin was from her maiden family, then what about this jade pendant? Why at the ti when they were really poor was she not willing to p.a.w.n it off?
Unable to think of a reason, she thus had the things put back, deciding to wait until after Du Xiu Heng cos back to ask him.
