Chapter 17
The zither sound lingered on the lake, and all the guests on the boat were fascinated by the melody.
After the last song, the woman stood up and saluted gracefully, winning applause from all the audience.
The woman was about to step down, but was blocked by a man. The man had a wretched face and stared at the woman with obscene eyes. The woman was at a loss and took a few steps back weakly.
The rest of the guests wanted to step forward to stop them, but the man didn't know what to say, so scared that the guests who wanted to stop them stopped in place, trembling.The wretched man smiled strangely at the woman playing the piano, approached a few steps, and was about to attack the woman with his big hand.
The woman had a chaste temperament and seemed unwilling to be bullied. She bit her lip, glanced at the lake, and jumped directly, causing everyone to exclaim.
Seeing this, Yi Ziqian stood up, Lin Yin saw the woman falling into the water, pulled Yi Ziqian and said, "Don't be impulsive."
The woman seemed to be a little watery, she jumped into the lake and then her head popped out, she was at a loss in the lake, happened to meet Yi Ziqian's eyes, subconsciously swam towards Yi Ziqian's painting boat,
On the other hand, the wretched man who wanted to belittle this woman seemed to be a little afraid of water, so he stood by the boat and looked back.
Yi Ziqian saw the woman swimming towards him and coming out of the boat.
Chun'er was guarding outside, seeing the woman swimming towards her, she lost her mind, and seeing the gentleman coming out, she hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Mr. Lang, what should I do?"
Yi Ziqian saw that the woman seemed to be exhausted, her lips were pale, and said, "Of course it's to save her!"
Lin Yin came out and saw Yi Ziqian took off his coat, as if he was about to jump into the lake to save someone, grabbed him, and said solemnly: "My brother-in-law is weak and cannot get in the cold lake water, let me do it."
Before Yi Ziqian could answer, Lin Yin jumped into the lake, swam to the woman's side, and pulled her to swim over.
The woman trembled her lips in the water, and stretched out her snow-white lotus root arms. Seeing this, Yi Ziqian stretched out his hand, grabbed the woman's cold wrist, and pulled her up.
Lin Yin saw that the woman got on the boat, so she also climbed up the side of the boat.
The woman looked pitiful, her clothes were drenched, revealing a large area of skin, the spring was endless, Yi Ziqian put her coat on the woman without looking sideways.
The woman caught the coat, wrapped herself tightly, and said softly, "Thank you."
At this time, Lin Yin said: "Go back to the shore first, lest that person chase after this girl."
Seeing that his clothes were soaked, Yi Ziqian thought that he was blocking him, so he resolutely jumped into the lake to save others, and said, "I never thought that my sister would come forward to save this girl."
Seeing Yi Ziqian, the alienation in Lin Yin's eyes dissipated a bit, and she was also secretly happy, thinking that the act of saving someone just now won the favor of the beauty, and said humbly: "It's just a little effort, not as warm-hearted as my brother-in-law, seeing this girl fell into the water, I didn't care to get up and go to rescue her. "
Knowing that Lin Yin had saved her, the woman also bowed to him and said, "Thank you, sir, for going into the water and saving my family."
Lin Yin looked at her delicate and charming appearance, although she was not as good-looking as Yi Ziqian, she was still a beauty with a clear and delicate bone, and said softly, "Miss, you are so polite, I don't know what happened just now, forcing you to throw yourself into the lake in a hurry ?”
The woman lowered her eyes, with a bit of innocence and pity, and said: "My family is just a Qiuniang in Mingxifang. She usually plays the piano with the people in the teaching workshop. As his concubine, the people in the Jiaofang heard that he was from the Dark Fragrance Valley, so there was nothing they could do about him. The slave family thought that this person should be a whim, and let him bother him, so they just ignored him. Unexpectedly, today he You have to fight, you must let me, let the servant and him..." At the end, he was sobbing.
Yi Ziqian heard her bitter words, and knew that it was not easy for this woman, but he didn't know the origin of the Dark Fragrance Valley, who was so domineering, so he asked, "What sect is the Dark Fragrance Valley, and why did they rob the women of the people? Don't dare to control it."
Lin Yin was startled, and said, "My brother-in-law doesn't even know about Dark Fragrance Valley?"
Yi Ziqian came here a year ago. He has been in bed for a long time and has no involvement in the world. Naturally, he didn't know, so he shook his head,
Lin Yindao: "Dark Fragrance Valley is an evil faction of the Jianghu, who acts secretly and acts cruelly. No one in the Jianghu would dare to offend easily, let alone these ordinary people."
After listening to Yi Ziqian, he probably knew that the Valley of Dark Fragrance was the kind of crooked and evil way that was specially opposed to the protagonist in various martial arts novels.
After boarding the boat and landing, everyone left the boat, Yi Ziqian said goodbye to Lin Yin: "Sister, then I will send this girl to the teaching workshop first, and we will meet again later."
Lin Yin secretly lamented that time flies when getting along with the person he loves, but time is long when getting along with the person he hates.In order to win Yi Ziqian's favor, he put on a hearty smile and said, "Okay, I will talk to my brother-in-law again when I have time."
Only two people could sit in the carriage, the woman was wrapped in a coat, her lips were a little purple, maybe she was frozen in the lake.
Yi Ziqian couldn't help comforting him: "Girl, I'll be at Mingxifang in a while, so hold on."
The woman shook her head and said, "My lord, I'm afraid..."
Yi Ziqian said: "Afraid that man will continue to pester you?"
The woman bit her lip and said, "Yes."
Yi Ziqian thought for a while, and said: "After sending the girl back, I will go to the Yamen to talk to the county magistrate about this matter. Although those Jianghu people are vicious, they dare not compete with the government."
After going to the government in a while, at worst, give some money to the yamen to protect the girl.
With tears in her eyes, the woman shook her head and said: "No, I just remembered the sisters who were together in the teaching workshop in the past. She was also entangled by hooligans, and she was insulted and committed suicide..." Finished , then covered his face and cried out.
Yi Ziqian had never dealt with this kind of situation before, and he didn't know what to do, so he could only comfort him softly: "Girl, don't cry."
The woman rushed forward, buried her head in Yi Ziqian's chest, tears drenched his clothes, and sobbed, "My lord, I'm so scared, can you, can you let me stay at your house for a few days until that villain leaves this place?" , to avoid the limelight. I will not pester you, young master, please, take me in for a few days."
Yi Ziqian had never been so intimate with a woman before, and he panicked, but seeing this woman crying sadly, her body trembling constantly, he didn't push it, or let it go.
He could only say: "Girl, you can talk after you get up, I will take you in for a few days without any problem."
When the woman heard him let go of his promise, cunning flashed in her eyes, she secretly raised her red lips, touched the red mole, and then gradually sat back to her original position, covering her face.
Chun'er was walking outside, seeing the carriage turned back to Yi Mansion, she was a little strange, so she said: "Mr. Lang, why don't you go to Mingxifang?"
Yi Ziqian lifted the curtains of the car and said: "This girl is scared, she is afraid that the villain will pester her, so she will stay at our house for a few days."
Chun'er said in surprise, "Mr. Lang." Then he couldn't say anything more.
Yi Ziqian didn't know why she choked, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Chun'er glanced into the window, the woman's face was like a lotus, with tears stained on her face, she looked pitiful to me, bit her lip, and said stiffly: "It's nothing, my lord."
When the carriage arrived at Yi's mansion, Yi Ziqian told Chun'er, "Clean up a guest room and come out to stay for this girl."
Chun'er lowered her head with lowered eyes, so that people couldn't see her expression clearly, she just nodded in response.
The woman wiped away her tears and said: "Young master is kind and kind. My family thanked you, but you still don't know your name?"
Yi Ziqian said: "My surname is Yi, and my name is Ziqian."
The woman said: "It turns out to be Mr. Si Lang of the Yi family. It is good for Mr. Lang to call me Ning Yan."
At this moment, Chun'er finished tidying up the guest room, and said, "Mr. Lang, it's already tidied up."
Yi Ziqian nodded, and said to Ning Yan, "Miss, go to bed early."
Ning Yan bowed gracefully, and said softly: "The slave family has left." Then she followed Chun'er and went to the guest room.
Along the way, seeing that Chun'er was silent and the atmosphere was silent, Ning Yan took the initiative to show her favor and said, "Young lady is your personal maid, she looks young, did she just enter Yi's house?"
Chun'er was still silent after hearing this, and just focused on leading the way.
Seeing that she didn't intend to talk to her, Ning Yan obediently followed Chun'er.
When they came to a courtyard, it seemed a bit cold and remote, but Ning Yan was still beside the courtyard and saw a woodshed.
Opening the door, the room is spacious, with plain decoration and oversimplified furniture. Ning Yan looked around the room and seemed to see spider webs. She casually wiped the table with her hands, blew away the dirty dust from her fingertips, and said, "Girl , is this the room for me?"
Seeing that she was still holding on to Lang Jun's coat, Chun'er was extremely jealous, and said coldly: "Yes, if there is nothing else, let me step back first."
After all, close the door and leave.
Ning Yan suddenly shouted: "Stop." She turned around, her gentle and weak temperament disappeared, she looked at Chun'er with a smile, looked around her up and down, her tone was charming, and said: "Girl, I see you It's not too late, why, you have your husband's idea so soon?"
Chun'er was annoyed by what she said about the central matter, and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Ning Yan covered her mouth and smiled: "Yo, don't deny it, I'm afraid I won't be able to steal your husband, haha, don't worry, I didn't mean that."
Chun'er was just looking at this girl, she was beautiful, so the gentleman rescued her and let her live in the mansion.Lang Jun's attention was already half diverted by that slave, and now there is another delicate Qiuniang in the mansion, she is even more afraid of Lang Jun's eyes, and will never see herself again.
Seeing that the woman said that now, it seemed that she didn't intend to attract the attention of the gentleman, so she felt relieved.
Seeing that her face was more relaxed, Ning Yan leaned over slightly, squinted her eyes, and said, "It's just that you have no good looks and no ability to deceive people. Of course, Mr. Wang doesn't like you. Compared with you, this slave looks like a It's even better, if the gentleman takes a fancy to Nujia and puts his heart on Nujia, then it's no wonder that Nujia took it away."
After hearing this, Chun'er blushed and said, "Fox spirit, stay away from my lord!"
Ning Yan chuckled, covered her chest and said: "Fox spirit, only a beautiful woman can be praised, the girl's mouth is so sweet."
Chun'er knew that she couldn't speak to Ning Yan, so she glared at her and left angrily.
