The heroine who wears a book is always teasing me

Chapter 53

On the 31th day of the first lunar month in the 24st year of Ruoli, Princess Muguo was buried in the royal tomb, and the emperor issued an edict of amnesty to the world, in order to respect Princess Chang, who donated tens of thousands of dans of food and saved the country.

In February, when the weather was getting warmer, Xu Nuan changed his name to Qingyi, a homonym with the name Qingyi of Naxianren'an, and traveled to the south of the Yangtze River by boat from the place of investigation.

Going down the river, passing through Duozhou County, Xu Nuan occasionally conducts spot checks on the store's account books, but rarely disembarks to avoid leaking rumors.

"Miss, it's almost midnight."

Xu Nuan nestled on the bed, reached out to take off the blindfold she made, and opened her eyes lazily, the cabin was already bright.

Turning his head to see the figure of Granny Su outside the gauze tent, he had to stand up slowly, reached out to lift a corner of the gauze curtain, and said in a soft voice: "Grandma Su, don't you need it?"

"How can I sleep so long. Miss will finish her breakfast this morning, and she will have routine acupuncture and moxibustion later, and the medicine will be boiled twice. Don't delay the time."

This Granny Su is a famous doctor with an eccentric personality. One day Xu Nuan was in the shop and saw Granny Su crying and asking for candy. Come on, mother-in-law will buy you that warm pear flower pastry?"

But the child refused to follow him, and he refused to leave. It happened that Xu Nuan also found out that the shopkeeper had raised the prices without permission, and he just dealt with it.

When Xu Nuan went out and saw that the child was still crying, the attendant gave him two cans of candy, lifted the veil and said, "Today, if any child comes, a can of candy only costs ten cents."

The child burst into laughter, and Granny Su grabbed Xu Nuan's wrist suddenly, looked at Xu Nuan and said, "Miss, do you have an old disease?"

"Well, I have been accompanied by a medicine jar since I was a child."

"Girl, don't be angry. I see the girl's pale complexion. I think that she eats very little every day. If it wasn't for the rare medicinal materials raised by rich and noble families, she probably wouldn't live until this time." Granny Su said bluntly.

Xu Nuan was full of surprise, and asked hesitantly, "Grandma is really kind, that's true."

"Miss, you are welcome. My ancestors have practiced medicine for generations. If the girl stays here for a long time, there is a secret recipe passed down from the ancestors and the unique acupuncture and moxibustion. Although it cannot cure the disease, it may also relieve the girl's suffering. You can eat more every day, too. OK."

Just like that, Xu Nuan stayed in Zhan County for the time being.

In May and June, the weather was getting hotter and hotter. At noon, Xu Nuan looked through the account books and got up to walk around the cabin. Granny Su came in with a medicinal soup and said with a smile:

"Girl, you look much better."

"Thanks to Granny Su's medical skills, at least I can still eat a bowl of porridge." Xu Nuan reached out to take the medicinal soup, blew it and drank it slowly.

When the medicinal soup was about to drink, Granny Su pushed open a window in the cabin and said, "At present, the girl has not settled down, and she will live in one place for a long time in the future. Don't close the door tightly, otherwise it will not be conducive to the improvement of her condition."

"My daughter-in-law is going to have a baby in the next few months, and the family is busy. I'm afraid it will be difficult for the girl to come again in the future," Granny Su said standing aside.

"This is a happy event. I will let my attendants bring some high-quality tonics to Grandma Su for a ride." Xu Nuan said while holding the medicine bowl.

Granny Su approached and saluted and said: "Young lady has a kind heart. Practicing medicine to save people is the heart of a doctor. It's just a pity that Miss's disease cannot be eradicated. But as long as she takes good care of her in the future, the pain will gradually go away."

As the evening approached, Xu Nuan asked his attendants to find a sedan chair for Grandma Su so that she could take her home.

When the dusk ends, it is the most gorgeous. Xu Nuan is lying by the cabin window, the warm wind blows green waves, and most of the houses in the south of the Yangtze River are built near the water, and there are beautiful scenery everywhere.

When night fell, the newly recruited maid, Xiao Xing, came in and lit the lamp, and reported by the way: "Miss, the attendant just came to report that Grandma Su has returned home."

"Yeah." Xu Nuan lazily looked at the increasingly dark cabin, then closed the window and said, "We will set off in a few days, where will we pass if we continue going south?"

"Girl, Zhaozhou is only two or three days away from this waterway. I heard that the most famous thing in Zhaozhou is the pear blossoms. In February and March, the pear blossoms are in full bloom. It's a pity that I can't see them now. But Zhaozhou is like spring all the year round, so it is very livable. It is the most suitable place for a girl to recuperate from her illness."

Zhaozhou?

The possibility of Yin Ruoyue appearing in this place is a bit high.

Xu Nuan replied hesitantly, "No."

Wouldn't it be embarrassing if we happened to meet on the way.

Passing through Zhaozhou two days later, when the government was inspecting the ship, Xu Nuan had no choice but to have the ship berthed on the shore.

When the breeze comes, the tender green wicker hanging down on the lake, gently swaying and swaying around the ripples are scattered to no trace.

After noon, it was the hottest, but Xu Nuan's body was not as sensitive to heat as ordinary people, and he still held a teacup in his hand and looked sideways at the bustling lakeside.

Or because of the summer, the girls who have been confined at home go out together, holding round fans, talking, laughing and playing, just like the situation when the capital and Yin Ruoyue were having fun.

"Miss, the medicine should be cold." Xiao Xing, who was on the side, lowered her head and said from the outside.

Only then did Xu Nuan realize that her thoughts were wandering, she came to her senses, turned to put down the warm teacup, and took the small bowl of medicinal soup, the strong smell of soup filled her nostrils.

Even after drinking for many years, Xu Nuan is still not used to the taste of herbal decoction.

After drinking, Xu Nuan took the tea from the maid Xiao Xing and drank it until she relieved the strange nausea in her abdomen.

"That kite is really magnificent!"

Xiao Xing opened the half-hanging curtain and looked out of the boat and said.

Xu Nuan glanced sideways, and saw that the huge butterfly kites were really beautiful, and many people on the shore stopped and looked up.

Suddenly, for some reason, Xu Nuan came back to his senses and looked at the people on the shore carefully, as if the scene was like a painting, and he was no longer an outsider, but had already become a part of the painting.

"Look! Something fell from that kite."

Suddenly someone woke up, Xu Nuan probed curiously, and saw papers falling from the sky, like snow.

Seeing that some of them fell from the window, Xiao Xing, who was standing by the window, joined in the fun and stretched to catch some of them.

Xu Nuan looked down at the tea in the cup in his hand, it was already getting cold, and reached out to pick up the teapot.Xiao Xing beside her suddenly approached, compared the paper in her hand, and said in surprise:

"Miss looks like the person in this painting!"

"What does it look like?" Xu Nuan asked while pouring tea.

Xiao Xing handed the paper to Xu Nuan and said, "Miss, look."

Xu Nuan took the paper with one hand, and saw the words "Looking for a Wife" written on it, she was shocked at first, and then she was thankful that the maid was illiterate.

The person in the painting is indeed Xu Nuan, and the so-called wife-seeker was known to Xu Nuan. It was written on the paper:

[There is a man in my heart, and I have been unable to find him for a long time. I am looking for the person in this portrait. Those who find it will definitely reward a thousand taels of gold, and those who have information will also reward ten taels of silver. 】

It was Yin Ruoyue's name that was signed, and it was specially marked as the Minister of the Imperial Court.

I'm afraid there is no one in the world who is as blatant as Yin Ruoyue.

Sighing is sighing, but I'm afraid I have a lot of troubles.

Xu Nuan put the paper aside, held the teacup in both hands, saw the excitement outside, and asked Xiao Xing to close the window.

"Could it be that this is looking for a young lady?" Xiao Xing turned and approached and asked for another pot of hot tea.

"No."

Xu Nuan folded the paper and put it in an account book, then drank tea with her head down and said nothing.

Although Xiao Xing was confused, she didn't say anything, but added some charcoal to the small stove next to the water.

It's cool at night, and the sky is full of stars in midsummer. Xu Nuan only leaves the cabin at night. This Zhaozhou is a place where rivers and lakes intersect, so there are especially many boats, and it is far from the capital, but it is also a complicated place.

Star-like lights were reflected on the water. Xu Nuan leaned against the railing, and could vaguely hear the pipa drizzle in the cabin beside him, singing in a local tone.

At Xu time, Xu Nuan was still wrapped in a coat, and the officers and soldiers inspecting the ship came. Xu Nuan turned slightly and asked his followers to open the goods for the officers and soldiers to check.

About five or six officers and soldiers went on the deck and asked which state or county the cargo was going to go to.

The accompanying stewards dealt with it, and Xu Nuan stood sideways, looking at the scenery along the way to himself, thinking that after this round of inspections, he should leave here tomorrow.

"Turn around!" Someone shouted from behind.

Xu Nuan turned around and responded, "What's the matter?"

"Pull off the veil." The officer and soldier who took the lead approached and said, holding a portrait in his hand.

Xu Nuan stretched out her hand to undo the veil, saw the officer and soldier looking at it, and went to search the cabin.

Xiao Xing, who was at the side, sized her eyes several times and was very confused. She approached and asked softly, "Miss, what's your face?"

"Hush! I'll explain it to you later."

Xu Nuan stretched out her hand to fasten the veil, turned sideways to look at the scenery on the other side, and didn't want to but caught a glimpse of Yin Ruoyue on a boat.

Surprised, Xu Nuan almost thought that she was mistaken, so she looked away and saw Yin Ruoyue standing on the deck in a blue-purple official robe, and the woman next to her was the girl Liu Yan, and the two stood very intimately together , I don't know what to talk about.

Seeing the two boats approaching sideways, Yin Ruoyue turned around suddenly, Xu Nuan pretended to be unwell, and turned around.

Xiao Xing approached, reached out to support Xu Nuan, and hurriedly asked: "Miss, it's better not to stay outside, if you catch the wind and cold, you will be in trouble."

Xu Nuan shook her head, seeing Xiao Xing's worried expression, she explained: "It's okay, I just stood there for a while."

I don't know if it's because of the uneasiness in my heart, or if there is a real stare behind him, Xu Nuan has never dared to look back.

It wasn't until the boat left that Xu Nuan turned around and looked at the vast water surface, but was inexplicably lost.

Xiao Xing held the cloak in her hand, and wanted to put it on for Xu Nuan, Xu Nuan turned her body and placed it on Xiao Xing's arm with a slightly cool palm, and said softly: "Let's go..."

"Miss, what's gone?"

"It's nothing, we've stayed here for quite a while, so it's time to hurry." Xu Nuan strolled, followed Xiao Xing into the cabin.

Taking the medicine on time, Xiao Xing was asked to turn off the lights early, and Xu Nuan lay on the bed but couldn't sleep, feeling so empty in his heart.

The boat swayed slightly on the water surface, with the sound of water, the sound of oars, and the sound of branches on the half-opened window sill blown by the wind.

Xu Nuan tossed and turned, and didn't know when she fell asleep in a daze.

In the half-dream and half-awake state, it seemed as if she heard the slight sound of the cabin being gently pushed open, someone came in, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Yin Ruoyue waving her sword towards this direction, and said in a low voice:

"The princess can't live!"

Waking up suddenly, Xu Nuan opened his eyes, his cheeks were covered with fine sweat, and saw that the cabin was dark.

The heart was still beating fast, Xu Nuan lay down again, but this time she heard the sound of the cabin being pushed open clearly, and looked towards the figure.

Yin Ruoyue, how did you find this place?
