Since Wen Chan left the capital, it was rare for him to eat full and sleep soundly.
When he woke up and went out, he saw the three subordinates who had disappeared before changed into clean clothes and stood in the yard. When he heard him push the door out, the three of them came at the same time. Ah Fu asked first, "My lord, do you have a rest?" How about it?"
He stretched, and his voice was full of laziness, "It's rare to sleep so comfortably, where did the three of you go before?"
"Don't blame me, son. You fell asleep in the carriage before. Mr. Liang didn't let us wake you up. He said that we had to hurry in the afternoon. Let us go clean and change first, and have a good rest." Ah Fu explained earnestly, "At first we didn't want to, but Mr. Liang said that he would look at you and find you something to eat when you wake up, so we don't have to worry about it. In addition, we didn't sleep all night playing chess, calligraphy and painting last night, so we really need to rest..."
"It's my subordinate's dereliction of duty, Your Highness, please punish me!" Before he could finish speaking, Calligraphy lifted up his robe and knelt down, looking like he was stretching his neck waiting to be chopped off.
Seeing the calligraphy and painting kneeling down, Ah Fu and Qin Qi who hadn't finished speaking also knelt down together, kneeling neatly in a row in front of Wen Chan.
"Okay, get up, I'm not blaming, I'm just asking out of curiosity." Wen Chan had no choice but to yawn big, leaving the three of them behind and walked towards the noodle shop.
When Ah Fu saw that Wen Chan was about to leave, he quickly got up and followed him. When he turned around and saw that Shuhua was still kneeling, he directly grabbed Shuhua's arm and said in a low voice, "Get up, this is not a palace, and there are not so many rules. You have to call your Highness, remember to ask for a son, in case the identity of the son is exposed..."
"I see." Calligraphy pursed his lips lightly, as if he had been educated.
Wen Chan walked to a few tables outside the noodle shop and sat down. It was already evening, the sun was at his feet, and there was no scorching heat in the daytime. He sat down in the warm wind and poured himself a glass of A cup of herbal tea.
The carriage was still tied under the tree, a few horses were missing, and Liang Yanbei and the others were also gone. After Wen Chan had two sips of herbal tea, his consciousness was also clear, and he was about to ask those people if they left first, but saw a group of people walking towards this place.
The leader was a young man in his mid-twenties, with red lips, white teeth, and handsome eyes, followed by several guards in the same clothes.
The man first squinted his eyes and looked at the sky, then he drove his horse to a short distance in front of Wen Chan, leaned on his hat and awkwardly turned off the horse, and walked up to Wen Chan in a few steps, his eyes narrowed with a smile, and he hadn't left yet. As he approached, he was blocked by the highly guarded calligraphy and paintings.
Instead of being in a hurry or annoyed, he took two steps back and asked Wen Chan, "My lord, can you tell me which way to go to the inner island?"
Wen Chan glanced at him, raised his hand and pointed, "Go east, just keep going."
When the man got the answer, he thanked him happily, and then slowly got on his horse and led a few guards to the east road.
When the people were far away, Ah Fu asked in a low voice, "Master, doesn't that road go to the bandits' den?"
"Yes." He replied lightly.
"Then why..."
Wen Chan thought for a while and said, "What? Only others are allowed to show us the wrong way, but I am not allowed to show others the wrong way?"
Ah Fu: "..." Of course, you can do whatever you say, Your Highness.
"Why didn't you see Mr. Xie and the others, where did everyone go?" Wen Chan pretended to ask casually.
"They went into Bafang City to buy things. My son, your clothes and bank notes were all left in the bandits' den. Mr. Liang said to buy some for you."
"So many of them? Are they all gone?"
"Master Zhong didn't go, he's still sleeping at the moment." After Ah Fu finished his answer, he said, "If we don't wake him up now, we might have to go on our way later."
When Wen Chan heard that drinking tea stopped, he looked at Ah Fu unexpectedly, "You are not timid, and you still want to provoke Zhong Wenjin. Let him sleep, and I will call him when Xie Zhaoxue comes back."
Zhong Wenjin has a bad temper, Wen Chan knows it well. Originally it was just cursing, but after Xie Zhaoxue died, he often went crazy, almost beating people to death with his hands, and he was not merciless when it came to his own brothers.
In the previous life, the Zhong family rebelled, and he took the lead in rebelling against his father. No one dared to provoke him in the barracks, so only Liang Yanbei could restrain him. Whenever he went crazy, Liang Yanbei would punch him until he was beaten. Nosebleeds can make him stop for a few days.
Although Zhong Wenjin was still young at this time, he couldn't be treated as a normal person.
Thinking about it, Wen Chan couldn't help but sigh.
Sitting at the door for a while, Liang Yanbei and others came back with their purchases. After seeing the person, Wen Chan wanted to stand up and take two steps to meet him, but in a blink of an eye he saw Situ Zhoulan beside him, and his ass suddenly seemed to be stuck to him. Like a stool.
Ah Fu is very clever, and quickly trotted to the front, just as Liang Yanbei got off his horse, touched the horse's head, glanced at Wen Chan who was sitting upright by the table, and asked, "When did your highness wake up?" ?”
"Not long after waking up, it only takes two cups of herbal tea." Ah Fu replied happily, as if his whole mouth burst into laughter when he saw Liang Yanbei.
"Did he say he wanted to eat?" Liang Yanbei asked again.
"No."
"En." He responded, beckoning the guards behind to bring a few packages in front of Ah Fu, "The blue package is for your clothes, and the yellow one is for His Highness. If you need anything else, feel free to contact me. I said."
There were three blue ones, and three yellow ones. Ah Fu couldn't hold them all by himself. He was about to turn his head and give Qinqi, Calligraphy and Painting a begging look, but Liang Yanbei said to the guards, "Take the things to the carriage. "
The Shan family's carriage was requisitioned by Wen Chan.
No one objected to this matter. Shan Ke, who was the only one who had some strange voices, was educated by Liang Yanbei in a neutral manner, successfully shut up his rebuttals, and picked a horse for himself.
After the large team stopped, everyone went their own way.
Xie Zhaoxue heard that Zhong Wenjin was still sleeping, so she went to the back of the hotel alone to call for someone.
Qiao Yanci also returned to the room, and handed over the things that had been packed in the morning to the guard who was in charge of carrying the luggage.
Shan Ke also grew up with Situ Zhoulan, they have a good relationship, and they are standing and chatting under a tree.
Wen Chan sat bored for a while, and saw Liang Yanbei say a few words to Ah Fu, and then ordered the guards to deliver the parcels to the carriage. our?"
"That's right, Mr. Liang is too thoughtful in his shopping. There are three big packages in the things he bought for you alone." Ah Fu replied.
"The Shan family's carriage let me sit?" Wen Chan was surprised. He originally thought that Shan Ke used his carriage without his knowledge, and he would lose his temper because of it. Loyalty, but I didn't expect Shan Ke to let him use the carriage.
"What are you talking about, young master? As young master, if you ride a horse, those people can only walk on the ground. Isn't it natural for you to ride a carriage?" Ah Fu lowered his voice.
It is true to say so, but this is not in the capital.
Wen Chan secretly slandered, he glanced at Situ Zhoulan, and suddenly remembered something, his face changed, "The Situ family will not want to ride with me in the carriage, right?"
If so, he'd rather ride a horse.
Ah Fu felt strange, "Don't worry, Mr. Liang said that before the carriage enters the inner island, you can only sit alone."
Wen Chan's heart skipped a beat, and then a strange emotion spread, "What did Liang Yanbei say?"
"That's right, I said it when the young master was sleeping." He took it for granted, approving Liang Yanbei's actions in his heart.
After Wen Chan finished asking, he felt that his breathing was disordered again, so he stopped talking and stared at the rough teacup in his hand.
After Xie Zhaoxue called out the listless Zhong Wenjin, the team officially set off. Before getting into the carriage, Shan Ke approached with a playful smile and called Wen Chan to a stop.
"Master Wen, can I discuss something with you?"
Wen Chan's one leg had just climbed onto the carriage ladder, and he put it down again after hearing the words, and said to him, "What's the matter, Mr. Shan just tell me."
"Look, don't we have to rush all night? Of course we men are fine, but their girls must not be able to bear it, especially Xiaolan. She has been weak since she was a child..."
As soon as Shan Ke said, Wen Chan immediately understood what he meant, thinking that he also wanted to take a carriage, after all, it was someone else's, so Wen Chan would not really put on airs like a prince, but when he heard Situ Zhou Lan, his heart sank, and he was already thinking about giving up the carriage.
"Shan Ke." At this moment, a voice came in obliquely. The two looked at the same time, and saw Liang Yanbei folded his arms and smiled brightly. "What are you talking about? Let me listen too?"
Shan Ke's expression changed, and he immediately showed his white teeth, "What can we talk about? Let's just talk about small things with Young Master Wen." He turned his head and continued to Wen Chan, "Xiaolan is weak and can't stand the night." Feng, I want to remind you that you must put something on your body when you sleep in the carriage at night, you are a noble body, so you can't catch cold."
The wind of the conversation was too fast, Wen Chan didn't react for a while, but Shan Ke urged, "Okay, Young Master Wen, hurry up and get in the carriage, we are ready to go."
Wen Chan got into the carriage in a daze, Shan Ke glanced at Liang Yanbei cautiously, turned around to slip away, Liang Yanbei grabbed his collar and took him aside, "What did I tell you before? Don't stare at him for a while. You, are you looking for trouble?"
"Oh—" Shan Ke struggled to get away, "Cousin, I can forget it myself. Xiaolan and I came all the way from Jinling, and we haven't been exposed to the wind and sun. Now you let her ride a horse at night, where is she? I can bear it, I just want His Highness Ninth Prince to give up a little bit of his position..."
"It's not a matter of the number of seats." Liang Yanbei said, "Put away all your little thoughts, speed up your pace, and you will be able to reach the inner island tomorrow, and then let her have a good rest."
Shan Ke pouted secretly, "Cousin, you are too cruel, you have only been to the capital for how long, and you can't turn your elbow back."
Liang Yanbei frowned when he heard this, and made a gesture to beat him, but he was so frightened that he quickly slipped away.
What Shan Ke said is correct, as long as a normal person would feel puzzled, it is clear that Liang Yanbei did not have much friendship with Wen Chan, and said very little, but he always defended Wen Chan.
In fact, Liang Yanbei never told anyone about one thing. After he came to the capital, he once had a dream. In the dream, the flames of war and the blood were flying. Wen Chan buried his head in his arms, and warm tears flowed through the layers of clothing. His chest was wet, and Wen Chan's loud wailing voice was heard next to his ears. He cried, "Liang Yanbei, Wen's family is gone, my family is gone."
How did he do it? In the dream, Liang Yanbei hugged Wen Chan tightly, and comforted him softly, "It's okay, don't be afraid, everything will pass."
The dream was terribly real, and even thinking about it now, Liang Yanbei still felt pain in his heart, so every time he saw Wen Chan, he always wanted to get closer to him.
Liang Yanbei took a deep look at the carriage, then smiled lightly, turned around and got on his own horse.
After starting to drive, Wen Chan sat alone in the carriage, and felt very bored after a while. He looked at the several large packages piled up in the carriage, and stretched out his hand to hug a yellow one. As soon as he unwrapped it, there was a Several large silver ingots and a small scarlet pouch.
Wen Chan opened the small purse, which contained a lot of small gold leaves and small golden beans, and it was heavy in his hand. He closed the purse and put it aside, picked up the clothes inside, and when he opened it, he found that the inner clothes were all folded together. It was very hot in summer and there were not so many layers of clothes.
The piece that Wen Chan held in his hand was the favorite style of clothing for ordinary people. The inner was snow-white and the outer was blue. It was divided into two pieces, the jacket and the trousers. Both were made of brocade fabric, which was cool and light, especially because the sleeves of the jacket were only half-cut. It is not as hot and stuffy as the long sleeves, and there is a light blue gauze long dress outside, which looks quite pleasing to the eye.
I don't know if Liang Yanbei bought it himself, or if he sent his subordinates to buy it. Wen Chan rubbed his hands over the fabric for a while, then packed all the things with some joy, and hummed a little song unconsciously while sitting in the carriage.
When the carriage drove in the middle of the night, Ah Fu got Wen Chan's permission to get into the carriage to rest. He was the first to flip through the package given by Liang Yanbei when he came in.
He randomly picked a blue package and opened it. On the top, there were also a few shiny big silver ingots, but there was no purse containing gold beans. Ah Fu picked up a silver package and laughed so hard that his eyes disappeared, " Mr. Liang is really handsome and kind-hearted, like a reincarnated Bodhisattva."
"Shouldn't I just give you a few coins? As for being so happy?" Wen Chan watched from the side, couldn't help feeling amused, thinking to himself that this little eunuch was so thoroughly bribed by Liang Yanbei.
"Your Highness, you don't know." Ah Fu whispered, "Today when you fell asleep in the carriage, Mr. Shan came back angrily, and was about to settle accounts with Mr. Liang, but Mr. Liang was afraid that his voice would wake you up. He insisted on covering Mr. Shan's mouth and dragging him to the back before he dared to let go."
The corner of Wen Chan's mouth couldn't help but curl, "Really?"
"Yeah, Mr. Liang has even told the children over there one by one, not to make them make any noise. And today Mr. Zhong was so angry that he almost lifted the table of the noodle restaurant, saying that the store wouldn't give him For adding meat, he took several copper coins and was returned in the end.”
"Why?"
"The shopkeeper said that there wasn't much meat left. Mr. Liang's two bowls of noodles had eaten up all the meat. No matter how much money Mr. Zhong took, he couldn't change the meat. Later, when the younger one inquired, he said it was Mr. Liang's two bowls of noodles." The bowl of noodles is for you to eat, Your Highness."
To be precise, I only ate one bowl and vomited the other bowl. Wen Chan thought of the hills of meat in his bowl, and he was still a little puzzled at the time, how could there be so much meat in a bowl of noodles? He thought it was the simple people of May Island? It turned out that Liang Yanbei bought it with silver...
Thinking of this, Wen Chan blushed, but he didn't expect Liang Yanbei to take special care of him.
"There's more." Ah Fu is the most eye-catching, seeing Wen Chan's mood suddenly changed, he immediately eloquent.
"When Mr. Liang first told Mr. Shan that the carriage was only for you alone, Mr. Shan was not happy and said that at least Miss Situ should also ride in the carriage, but Mr. Liang firmly refused and insisted that no one should get on the carriage. The young master had no choice but to give up in the end. I heard that Miss Situ also lives in Jinling, so I am afraid she is an old acquaintance with Mr. Liang."
It has to be said that Ah Fu really prescribes the right medicine for the disease. Wen Chan's heart is like pouring honey in what he said.
Ah Fu took out a yellow paper bag from his sleeve, opened it slowly, and said, "This is the little one who came in just now. Mr. Liang gave it to you. He said that you sleep a lot during the day, and you must not sleep at night. I'm afraid you will feel hungry." , let the little one bring this for you to eat. He also said that even if you are not hungry, it is good to eat to pass the time."
At the end, Ah Fu sighed, "Young Master Liang is really thoughtful."
Wrapped in butter paper are fried broad beans. The shells are black, black, yellow and yellow. As soon as you open it, there is a pungent sound. Wen Chan reached out to take the yellow paper bag, took one, and put it in his mouth. It was crispy when chewed. , the fragrance lingers between the lips and teeth, and spreads to the bottom of my heart.
"Your Highness, is it delicious?" Ah Fu asked from the side.
Wen Chan nodded, didn't say anything, just took another one and stuffed it into his mouth.
Ah Fu smiled and said, "Your Highness, as long as it tastes delicious, Mr. Liang said, he still has some. If His Highness wants to eat after eating, you can ask the little one to find him."
Wen Chan would not ask for more after eating, he was reluctant to finish eating just this package.
The last time Liang Yanbei bought something for him was more than ten years ago!
At this time, Wen Chan was eating happily in the carriage, while Liang Yanbei drove his horse to Situ Zhoulan's side outside, "Zhoulan, can you hold on?"
Situ Zhoulan nodded, "Brother Yanbei, don't worry about me."
She took out a small porcelain bottle from her sleeve, handed it to him and said, "This is a refreshing pill, if anyone feels sleepy, you can give them one."
Liang Yanbei took the porcelain vase and said, "If you are tired, don't force yourself, we can stop and rest."
She raised a faint smile and responded.
Afterwards, Liang Yanbei distributed the pills in the porcelain vase to those who felt tired, and gave Zhong Wenjin two pills alone. I don't know what happened to him. He obviously fell asleep during the day, but now he couldn't hold it anymore and fell asleep. He was so staggered that he almost fell off his horse.
After taking the pill, he became much more energetic. After everyone went to the inner island to rest, he still couldn't fall asleep with his eyes wide open for a long time.
