Chapter 012

The two looked at each other, covered their mouths with handkerchiefs at the same time, and began to cough, even with the same frequency of coughing.

Wen Mingyun blinked, good guy, did you meet a patient?

When the handkerchief was taken off, Wen Mingyun's handkerchief was a little red, obviously coughing up blood.

This is her habitual movement, how to make the movement appear unintentional, but also naturally show the red color on the handkerchief, so that others can see it, showing her weakness everywhere.

When the man on the other side took off the handkerchief, he deliberately folded the handkerchief so that no one could see whether there was blood inside.

It's just that there was a trace of bright red on his pale lips, as if he had applied the most vivid blush this year.

Wen Mingyun froze suddenly, and suddenly felt a loss in his heart.

No, the patient in front of me is a master.

He is retreating to advance, wrapping the Jinpa to hide it from others, but the bright red stain on his lips fully proves that he just coughed up blood.

If you really don't want people to see it, how can you wipe it off with a big handkerchief?

Kindergarten children can clean up their saliva, how can this big man in front of him be as good as a six-year-old?

It was clearly intentional. This patient looked like a green tea man, and he was so skillful, he should be an old tea man.

"My lord, are you alright?"

Apparently, the old tea man is very capable, and the good-looking old tea man is even more sympathetic.

Ying'er, who had stopped her with sneering words, suddenly changed her face, and asked very worriedly, even her eyes showed some concern.

Wen Mingyun quietly rolled his eyes in his heart, hey, I also vomited blood, no matter how close you are, you are the second sister's maid, shouldn't you care about me first?

"It's nothing. I'm sick." The man waved his hands, and then bowed to Wen Mingyun.

"My surname is Cheng. Just now I felt badly smelled of alcohol at the banquet. I wanted to relax. I saw that the bamboo forest is growing densely. It must be a quiet environment. The girl came out of it just now, and I wanted to ask if I could go in?"

Wen Mingyun had already guessed his identity after hearing the first four words.

What a coincidence, a few days ago, just mentioned the matter of Cheng Guogong's mansion with Wei Daopo, and now have met one of the parties.

It was Cheng Tingyu, the uncle of the Cheng family. Although Wen Mingyun ate a lot of melons from the Cheng family, this was the first time he saw him.

Both of them are sick people, they seldom go out of the house, and there is a difference between men and women, so it is no wonder that they have never seen each other.

Wen Mingyun returned the salute, and immediately frowned and shook his head, saying: "You better not go in, Mr. Cheng. You are weak and cannot bear the smell of alcohol, and you must not be able to bear the smell in the bamboo forest."

"What's the smell in the bamboo forest?" The man was a little curious. After all, the bamboo forest should be filled with the fragrance of bamboo, so what else could there be?

"The stench is unbearable. It's mostly snakes, insects, rats and ants. I went in, but I didn't go deep into it, and I couldn't breathe anymore." She waved her hands again and again, and after she finished speaking, she started coughing non-stop, and even retched, with tears hanging on her face.on the cheek.

The man froze immediately, Wen Mingyun ignored him, and took his leave again.

Ying'er stood where she was, as if she still wanted to stop him, hesitated for a moment, and then hurried to catch up with Wen Mingyun and leave.

Wen Mingyun walked in front, and Yinger followed behind, constantly inquiring, but unfortunately the third girl was obviously very slippery, so she couldn't find out at all.

"Third Miss, didn't you see anyone in the bamboo forest?" In the end, she had no choice but to speak up.

"People? Are there other people in the bamboo forest?" Wen Mingyun turned to look at her, puzzled.

Ying'er was stunned at first, then she quickly shook her head after realizing it, and said with a sneer: "There is no one else, this servant is just afraid that someone will bump into you."

Wen Mingyun waved his hand, patted her on the shoulder and said with a light smile, "Don't worry, if you don't know how to die in front of me, you won't be able to hit me."

The third girl's voice sounded very gentle, and she even smiled sweetly, but when Ying'er met her smiling eyes, she felt her scalp tingling, as if the words meant something.

Outside the southwest gate, the man in brocade clothes was still standing at the door, but this time he didn't go in, but gestured in a certain direction behind him, and within the time of a cup of tea, he heard two hurried bird soundsMing.

Cheng Tingyu raised his eyebrows, and quickly turned to leave.

Soon, a woman's scream came from the bamboo forest, completely breaking the silence.

After several consecutive screams, there was a cry for help. Such a big movement naturally alarmed the host.

Soon the running water seats in the front and back yards could no longer be held, and someone was sent to check.

When Cai Yaohui heard that something happened in the bamboo grove, his first reaction was that he was about to suffer, so he quickly told the butler a few words and went to check it himself.

Before he got close, he saw a white thing hanging in the air, he was startled, and quickly ran forward.

The white thing is none other than Zhao Jinshi, all the clothes on his body disappeared, but several cloth strips were wrapped around his waist to tie him up, and the two ends of the cloth strips were respectively wrapped around a piece of bamboo.

And the color of this strip of cloth was obviously exactly the same as the clothes he wore before.

Zhao Jinshi obviously passed out, his whole body was limp and weak, his body was folded, but his white buttocks were the most conspicuous, and the picture was quite unbearable to look at.

Not to mention Cai Yaohui, even the servants were stunned.

This is not a wedding night in the bridal chamber, what are you doing like this!He also stepped on a horse and was hung on a bamboo.

"Is it Brother Zhao hanging on it?"

"Didn't Brother Zhao drink too much and go to the toilet? Why did you get here and be hung up?"

Suddenly there were a few voices of discussion behind him, Cai Yaohui turned his head immediately, only to realize that there were several guests at the same table who secretly followed him without his permission.

These people, like Zhao Jinshi, are all new subjects waiting for the imperial examination. Now they would rather not abide by the rules and stand up. They just want to ridicule Zhao Jinshi.It is impossible to get good grades in front of Zhizun, and they also have one less competitor.

Cai Yaohui's head was dizzy for a while, Zhao Jinshi was indeed unlucky, but he, the master, couldn't get away with it.

The guests attended his banquet, and such a shameful thing happened, no matter what, he had to be scolded.

"I remember Brother Zhao's name is Zhushan, which really suits him very well, but the mountain is going to be replaced by a shirt, and bamboo is used as a shirt."

"Very wonderful."

Most of the Jinshi who came here were sharp-tongued people, and they didn't use dirty words at all when they scolded people.

"Hurry up and save my cousin. I don't know who knocked me out all of a sudden. When I woke up, I saw my cousin turned into this and was hung up!"

The woman in plain shirt had tears all over her face. She was obviously frightened when she suddenly saw so many people coming.

When he reacted, he called for help again.

"It turns out that Brother Zhushan didn't go to the toilet, but came to meet his cousin privately."

"This bamboo forest is indeed a good place, so dense and prosperous, no matter what you do, people outside will not know, and it is very mysterious."

Several Jinshi gathered together and tried their best to humiliate Zhao Jinshi.

They are completely confident, first of all Cai Yaohui will only try his best to conceal it, and will not reveal it at all. As for the woman in front of him, maybe she can't understand what they are talking about, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

After such a big event happened, the running water table could not continue, and Cai Yaohui also sent someone to spread the word.

Wen Mingxia didn't seem to know exactly what happened, so she asked the maid beside her to inquire, but she sent the guests away one by one according to Cai Yaohui's words.

"Second Sister, is Yinger next to you a dowry girl brought from her natal family?"

Before leaving, Wen Mingyun asked a special question.

Wen Mingxia looked at Ying'er subconsciously. Ying'er was not serving by her side, but was standing in the middle of the yard, watching the other servants pack up their belongings, telling them to be careful not to break things from time to time.

"Yeah, she's still useful. It's just that when I'm old, I'm going to return the deed to her and let her go out of the house to marry."

Wen Mingyun blinked, covered his lips with a handkerchief and smiled lightly: "Married? I don't think so. She looks so charming, she doesn't look like a maid, but like a half-master, and she probably doesn't want to come out.Mansion, you have to ask clearly, don't do bad things with good intentions."

"You girl is so weird. Our sisters can't say anything directly, so we have to come here. I'm very busy. Something may have happened in the front yard. I haven't found out what happened. I don't have time to spend time with you.Hurry up and talk about something!"

Wen Mingxia immediately raised her hand to pinch her. After all, they are sisters who grew up together. She knows her little sister too well, so this tone of voice is not good.

"Ying'er led me to the bamboo forest today, but it was a good show."

Just as Wen Mingyun started, Wen Mingxia's complexion changed, and she hurriedly asked, "What, the bamboo forest? Just now there was an accident in the front yard, and it happened in the bamboo forest. What did you see?"

"Second sister, ask yourself. My brother-in-law probably won't hide it from you. However, regarding the fact that I have been to the bamboo forest, the second sister should not mention it in front of her brother-in-law. After all, it was not you who ordered Yinger to lead me to the bamboo forest.There must be only a handful of masters who command her."

Wen Mingyun never doubted the second sister, they are sisters who grew up together and are connected by blood.

Even if they are married, it is impossible for the second sister to plot against her for the benefit of others.

"I'll go first. Second sister, don't worry about everything. Think more about the child in your belly. The most important thing is to take care of your body."

Wen Mingyun patted the back of her hand, exhorted her softly, then supported Hongfeng's hand, turned and left.

Wen Mingxia's brain was buzzing, girls brought up by the Wen family were not fools.

Although the little girl just said a few words casually, every word and every word has a meaning.

In this small family now, apart from her, only Cai Yaohui can make Yinger move. Those poor relatives of the Cai family, even the maids, look down on them, and it is impossible to help them.

Ying'er led her younger sister to the bamboo forest, clearly with malicious intentions, even hiding it from her rightful master, what does this mean?

It shows that Yinger already has something in mind, and she puts Cai Yaohui, the son-in-law, first.

It is a big taboo between husband and wife to buy off the maid who serves each other closely.

The few words Wen Mingyun said before that Yinger was like a half-master almost told her clearly that Yinger wanted to be an aunt.

When Wen Mingyun got into the carriage, he was still humming a little song, obviously in a good mood.

Hey, she was worrying about not being able to catch her second brother-in-law, but she didn't expect someone to hand it over.

Even though she didn't find evidence, pointing out that Cai Yaohui ordered Ying'er to do it, she didn't hold any evidence.

But what does it matter?

Anyway, Wen Mingxia will definitely investigate seriously. If it really doesn't matter, then he can't be wronged, but if there is a slight sign, Cai Yaohui will never eat it and walk around.

The second sister's personality is that love desires her life, and evil desires her death, and she will definitely get revenge.

"Ahem." Suddenly, Wen Mingyun heard a faint cough nearby.

She stopped humming immediately and pricked up her ears to listen carefully.

Occasionally, the curtain was blown by the wind, and she realized that there was a carriage traveling side by side.

Although this carriage is not luxurious, it looks very spacious, and there is a huge "Cheng" engraved on it.

Oh, it turned out that ran into an old tea man by chance.

Hearing the coughing sound, Wen Mingyun was inexplicably aroused to win, so he also started to cough dryly.

"Ahem——"

"Ahem——"

The carriage on the left coughed, and the one on the right followed closely. It seemed to be a double play, almost like stabbing a sick person's nest, and it didn't stop all the way.

"yue—"

Wen Mingyun's petulant temper welled up, she was definitely the No. 1 among sick people, don't expect someone to take away her title of the boss of sick beauty.

She retched directly, and the voice sounded like she was about to die on the spot.

The coughing in the nearby carriage paused for a few seconds, apparently being crushed by her.

The author has something to say:

When others saw the Cheng family's uncle, they felt extremely pitiful, for he was so weak despite his handsome appearance.

The first time Wen Mingyun saw him, three words popped up in his mind: old tea man.
