Chapter 094 Chapter 94
Life in the courtyard is very comfortable and beautiful.
It was probably the first time for Xie Qingya and Xu Duanyi to live at such a slow pace in their lives.
Sleep until you wake up naturally every day.
You don’t have to worry about other things or the passage of time. You can sleep as long as you want.
When they are free, they will study food together, lie on the recliner and read books together, or talk about what happened when they separated a few years ago.
But most of the time, it was Xie Qingya who did the talking.
There is really very little that Xu Duanyi can say.
At night, they do nothing but look up at the starry sky above their heads.
The starry sky here in Yutian is much more beautiful than that in Beijing.
There should be many more stars.
At this time of year, there are also fireflies. Sometimes when they look at the stars under the night sky, there will be twinkling fireflies around them.
Xie Qingya also has the habit of practicing martial arts every day.
At this time, Xu Duanyi would sit in the courtyard, playing the zither and keeping people company.
Xie Qingya would either practice swordplay or boxing.
During this time, the two also worked together to paint a picture of the courtyard, which has now been hung up to dry.
It was hung in the house where they lived.
every day.
Bixi and the others would come here, ostensibly to give them something or pass on a message, but the main reason was to see how they were doing.
Afraid something might happen to them.
The situation in Yutian is under very good control.
Except for those who were initially under guard, nothing else happened to the rest of the people in Yutian who were able to move around.
Except for the child who had physical abnormalities at the beginning, the others who were kept under guard did not show any other symptoms.
Not even his mother.
Things are moving in the right direction. The worries and panic that were initially caused by the epidemic have gradually faded away as the situation has improved.
It's another nice day with clear sky and sunny weather.
Xu Duanyi and Xie Qingya didn't know how long they had lived in this small courtyard.
They don't keep track of what time it is and just live each day as it comes.
At first, I could tell the passing of another day by the coming of morning and evening, but as time went on, after the Dragon Boat Festival, I could no longer tell the exact time.
Perhaps he was deliberately avoiding remembering it. This book is exclusively compiled by the LK team. On this day, Xie Qingya and Xu Duanyi used bamboo poles to knock down a lot of locust flowers, intending to use them to make locust flower dumplings at noon.
The remaining Sophora japonica flowers are used to wash your hair.
A few days ago, Xu Duanyi washed her hair with water soaked in locust flowers, and it smelled quite good.
She likes it very much.
However, this is my first time making locust flower dumplings, and I don’t know how the result will be.
There was a blanket on the floor.
Almost all the fallen locust flowers fell on it.
In this way, there is no need to pick up the flowers one by one on the ground. Just fold up the blanket and you can collect all the locust flowers.
You don't have to worry about them falling on the ground and getting dirty.
While accompanying Xu Duanyi in picking up blankets, Xie Qingya still had a puzzled look on his face.
“Can this be delicious?”
What he was talking about, of course, was Xu Duanyi's suggestion to eat locust flower dumplings for lunch.
Xu Duanyi knew what he was asking.
She was actually not sure, and said hesitantly, "I don't know either."
She had read about this method in a book, but had never actually tried it.
He was indeed worried that the taste would be weird and unpalatable, so Xu Duanyi said, "Let's make some other dumplings later. We still have meat in the kitchen. If it doesn't taste good, we can just eat something else."
Seeing that there was a workaround, Xie Qingya naturally had no objection.
But even if not.
As long as Xu Duanyi insisted, he would probably risk his life to accompany her.
It won’t kill anyone anyway.
"I'll go get some water."
As he spoke, he handed the two corners of the blanket in his hand to Xu Duanyi first.
Xu Duanyi responded with a "OK".
While waiting for someone to fetch water, she was about to go to the corridor with the locust flowers in her arms, intending to find a basin to soak them first.
Then I heard hurried footsteps coming from outside.
Xu Duanyi heard this sound, so it is possible that Xie Qingya did not hear it.
The two of them looked at each other tacitly.
Sure enough, after a while, there was a knock on the door, followed by Shi Yu and Ling Ji's excited voices: "Master!"
"Prince, Princess!"
Usually, the four of them are mostly separated.
Bixi and Shiyu come in the morning, and Lingji and Changfeng come in the evening.
Or just drop them one by one.
Perhaps it was because of the disagreement between Shigure and Lingji that, except for the first day, the four of them never came here together again.
Now this battle——
In their hearts, Xie Qingya and Xu Duanyi had actually already guessed why they came.
In fact, they had already felt it a few days ago.
The environment in Yutian was getting better day by day, and they never showed any other symptoms. Even the child's mother was fine, so they guessed that the child might not have contracted an epidemic.
Otherwise, the infectiousness would not be so low.
Sure enough, before they had even passed, the people outside shouted excitedly, "Master, you're fine! The child is not suffering from the plague. Elder Sun said he has recovered. You can come out now!"
It was Shigure who spoke first.
Lingji followed up and said, "Prince, Princess, you can come out now! We are here to take you back!"
They were making a lot of noise outside and were very excited.
But the two people in the courtyard did not speak for a long time, but just stared at each other silently.
The peace and tranquility that had always shrouded the courtyard seemed to be gradually disappearing.
"Strange, why is no one talking? The master is not still sleeping, right?" There was no sound from inside for a long time, and Shi Yu couldn't help but wonder.
Lingji retorted: "That's impossible. It's already so late. Even if the princess is still asleep, our prince should have woken up long ago."
"Then why is there no sound?"
Although the matter was finally resolved and the master was safe and sound, Shi Yu still felt very dissatisfied with Lingji.
At this time he glared at the person and said.
Before, Lingji always wanted to compete with her, but now he wanted to run away when he saw her. Shiyu glared at him and he couldn't help but feel a little frightened again. He stammered and didn't know what to say.
If they hadn't both been warned.
It is estimated that by now, they have already gone to each side and are about to climb over the wall to get in.
Fortunately, Bixi and Changfeng, who were a little behind them, soon arrived in their carriages.
In order to pick up Xu Duanyi and Xie Qingya, they naturally couldn't all ride horses, so Bixi and Changfeng came here in a carriage today.
Compared to Shi Yu and Lingji's anxiety.
The two people who were lagging behind were very calm. Seeing that the door had not been opened yet, they knew the reason very well.
In the small courtyard where no one was talking, Xu Duanyi was the first to lower his eyelids.
She sighed silently in her heart, but still refused to let go of the blanket.
Although he had guessed about this day a few days ago, Xu Duanyi did not expect that this day would come so soon.
…She’s not ready yet.
It's obviously a good thing.
But she couldn't seem to feel happy at all.
Until someone suddenly grabbed my shoulders.
Xu Duanyi's eyelashes trembled twice, and she raised her head in surprise, and saw Xie Qingya also looking at her.
When their eyes met, he acted as if nothing had happened and said to her, "What are you thinking about? Nothing is a good thing. Don't look so sad."
Before Xu Duanyi could speak.
Xie Qingya leaned over again and kissed her between the eyebrows, and his hands on her waist tightened a little.
He knew what she was thinking.
"Xu Duanyi, don't be afraid." Xie Qingya whispered in her ear to comfort her.
Although he has not yet figured out what to do in the future, he knows that he cannot go back to the starting point with Xu Duanyi just because this door is opened.
They can't go back.
He was reluctant to go back either.
He loved her, he wanted her, he wanted them to be together forever just as he had hoped on his birthday.
He held Xu Duanyi's hand and said to her in a deep voice, "I'm here, don't be afraid."
Xu Duanyi's heart trembled again because of these words. She certainly knew the meaning of these words.
Xie Qingya was assuring her.
For some reason I felt like crying.
Xu Duanyi was afraid of worrying others, so he forced himself to hold back.
She looked at Xie Qingya for a while before she found her voice again.
She said "OK" to Xie Qingya.
Although her voice was hoarse, Xu Duanyi gradually regained her original expression under Xie Qingya's gaze, and slowly smiled brightly at him again.
The result was something I had expected a long time ago, so there was nothing to be afraid of.
Even if they walked out of the gate of this courtyard and she and Xie Qingya were back to square one, she wouldn't be too sad.
The life in this small courtyard was enough for her to remember for the rest of her life.
She is very happy.
She could spend such a wonderful time here with Xie Qingya without being disturbed.
She just felt a little reluctant...
If possible.
She really wanted to stay here with Xie Qingya for a long time, just the two of them.
But she couldn't be so selfish after all.
Not to mention that Xie Qingya still had her own things to do, she also couldn't let her relatives who were worried about her feel sad.
"Let's go."
She smiled and took the initiative to talk to Xie Qingya.
Xie Qingya looked at her deeply again before nodding.
The two of them went to open the door first.
The noisy outside suddenly became quiet without anyone noticing.
Xu Duanyi didn't notice it before, but she guessed that it must be Bi Xi and the others who came and said something to Shi Yu and the others.
Sure enough, after Xie Qingya opened the door, Xu Duanyi was the first to see four people standing neatly in a row.
But before she could speak.
Shi Yu cried out first, then rushed towards her with red eyes.
徐端宜一時未察,直接被人撲得倒退了幾步,直到腰肢被一只手掌給抵住,才止了她的倒退。
“時雨,你冒冒失失做什麽呢?差點讓主子摔倒了!”身後傳來碧溪的訓斥聲。
徐端宜則擡頭先看了眼身邊。
正好瞧見謝清崖在低頭看她,眼中流露着擔心。
徐端宜先笑着與他搖了搖頭,示意自己沒事。
時雨這會也抹着眼淚先起來了。
“主子,您沒事吧?”她也一臉擔心地看着徐端宜,顯然也有些後怕。
她就是一時太高興,太激動了。
太久沒見到主子,如今見主子安然無恙,她就一時什麽都顧不上,失态了。
“主子,您還好嗎?”
碧溪這會也過來了,看着徐端宜,擔心問道。
徐端宜笑着與她們搖了搖頭:“沒事。”
本書由LK團隊為您獨家整理 這會功夫,令吉和昌豐也過來了,先與他們問了好。
謝清崖照舊沒說什麽。
徐端宜則同樣笑着,與他們點了點頭,說了句“辛苦”。
昌豐二人自是不敢受這聲話的,忙道沒有。
徐端宜便又同碧溪二人先吩咐道:“你們先進去收拾下東西。”
二人自然不會推辭。
答應一聲之後,便先進去了。
她們是對這個小院深惡痛絕,恨不得立刻把東西收拾好,就直接帶着主子離開這個鬼地方。
動作自是十分迅速。
徐端宜見她們進去,又看了一眼身邊的謝清崖,與他說:“我先進去。”
謝清崖看着她說好。
徐端宜又跟昌豐二人點了點頭,方才抱着那一大包槐花往裏走去。
謝清崖目送她進去,一直未曾移開視線。
“主子。”
身後傳來昌豐的聲音。
謝清崖嗯一聲,視線依舊停留在徐端宜的身上,直到看不到她的身影了,這才收回,看向昌豐,問他:“什麽事?”
“陛下前些日子托人給梅大人帶了密信,問您的情況。”
謝清崖沉默片刻,方才回道:“知道了。”
“還有別的事嗎?”謝清崖問他。
昌豐看着他遲疑片刻,最後還是搖了搖頭。
其實還有一樁,京中來密信,全方同前幾日已經進京了,只不過如今這個情況……
還是等之後再跟主子說吧。
昌豐能看出主子此刻的心情,十分不好,不似前幾日面對他們時,那麽輕松了。
他猜到原因。
自是不想再給人添加負擔了。
謝清崖聞言,也未多言,準備進去陪着徐端宜一起收拾。
他跟兩人說了一聲,便先轉身進去了。
令吉見此,自是也想跟着一道進去,但他才一邁步,就被昌豐一把拉住了胳膊。
“你做什麽?”
令吉的眼睛也有些紅。
剛才看到門開,他也想往王爺身上撲去,只是被時雨先搶先一步,後頭王爺又只顧着王妃,一直沒往他們這邊看過來,他也就失去了先機。
昌豐自然不會與他說“王爺心情不好,這會別去煩他”這樣的話,免得這個夯貨傻乎乎直接去問王爺怎麽了。
他另有借口。
“時雨在裏面,你又想進去遭白眼了?”
果然——
他這麽一說,令吉神色立刻一變。
但他慣來嘴硬,不肯承認自己害怕時雨,犟着嘴說道:“她在就在,我還怕她不成?”
話是這麽說,但原本要往裏頭邁進去的步子,到底還是未再往前邁進去一步,嘴裏咕哝着一句:“我去看着馬車,省得馬跑了。”
然後他就嘟嘟囔囔先轉身走了。
昌豐看着他離開,又往小院裏頭望了一眼。
眼見王爺已經進去了,他又在原地看了一會,這才滿腹愁緒的先離開了這邊。
主屋那邊。
碧溪和時雨正在收拾東西。
徐端宜則在一旁跟她們說,哪些要帶走,哪些不用帶。
謝清崖剛進來,就聽到一句“被褥不必管了,把那兩個喜枕都帶上。”
謝清崖腳步一頓。
但也只是一個呼吸的光景,他便又繼續朝徐端宜走去。
徐端宜聽到身後傳來的動靜時,謝清崖的胳膊,已經十分自然地環在了她的腰上,并未因為碧溪和時雨在這,就有所顧忌。
“收拾得怎麽樣了?”他問徐端宜。
雖然當着碧溪她們,跟謝清崖離那麽近,徐端宜稍稍有些不自在,但她也并未躲開。
任由謝清崖環着她的腰身,與他回道:“差不多了。”
她把要帶走的東西,和留下的東西,都與人說了一遍。
謝清崖仔細聽她說完,沒意見:“你看着辦吧。”
“那幅畫呢?”
徐端宜說的,自然是前幾日他們一道合作畫的那幅,此時正挂在牆上。
他們所站的位置,正好可以瞧見。
謝清崖順着徐端宜的話,往那邊看去,過了一會才說:“留着吧,保不準以後還有機會來這。”
徐端宜被他這話說得心下一動,自是沒有反駁。
“主子,東西都收拾好了,這袋槐花也要拿走嗎?”前端傳來碧溪的詢問。
徐端宜這才收回落在謝清崖臉上的視線。
重新往桌上看去。
先前她跟謝清崖打得那一袋槐花,此時就在桌上靜靜擺着。
陽光投落在那些槐花上,折射出白色的光。
徐端宜看了一會後,看向身邊的謝清崖,詢問他的意思。
謝清崖看着她說:“你想怎麽做,就怎麽做。”
徐端宜便不再糾結。
“留着吧。”
她也笑着和謝清崖說了一句:“或許等我們下次再來這,這槐花都可以用來煮茶喝了。”
能感覺到,握在她腰上的手,又收緊了一些。
徐端宜又同人一笑:“走吧。”
既然注定要離開,如今在這再耽擱下去,倒也沒什麽必要了。
現在城中,肯定不少人都在等着他們。
謝清崖的視線,一直落在她的身上,此時聽她說話,他是過了一會才啞聲回道:“……好。”
之後徐端宜讓碧溪和時雨先出去,自己則跟謝清崖留在後頭關門。
門窗都被他們仔細關上了。
免得哪日刮風下雨,吹到裏頭。
正式關門的時候,徐端宜又回望了一眼屋內。
雖然只住了一段時間,但人實在太能改變環境了,此時裏頭的一點一滴,都是他們所熟悉的模樣。
牆上的畫。
桌上的書。
還有擺在香案上的古琴。
甚至旁邊的插瓶裏頭,還放着一枝石榴花,如紅似火,鮮豔欲滴。
還有拔步床上,懸挂的一串五彩繩。
端午她沒編完的那串五彩繩,最後也被謝清崖随手給編完了,後來徐端宜便把它懸挂在了他們的床上。
屋內的光,随着房門的關合,越來越暗。
只有那串五彩繩,依舊在室內熠熠生輝,永遠不滅。
“走吧。”
謝清崖關上房門後,主動再次牽住徐端宜的手。
徐端宜的視線,從房門上收回,落在他的身上,四目相對,她回握住謝清崖的手,笑着說好。
回去路上。
時雨繼續騎馬,令吉則接替了昌豐的活,坐在碧溪身邊,非要替他們趕車。
一路上,都是他雀躍的聲音。
這要是換做平時,徐端宜還能笑着回他幾句,但今日……眼見離城中越近,她明知不該,卻越發心情沉悶的,不想說話了。
謝清崖自是注意到了她的情況。
把人攬進自己懷裏之後,便毫不猶豫地讓令吉閉嘴了。
便是令吉這樣粗線條的人,這會都察覺到不對了,雖然不知道為什麽沒事後,王爺和王妃的心情都并未高漲,反而都有些不開心。
但他還是聰明得先選擇了閉嘴。
之後一路無話。
但也未消停太久,等到馬車進了城中。
果然如徐端宜先前料想的一般,幾乎整個城中的百姓,都在那等他們。
領頭的便是梅雪征和李文高,王伏新還有喬炳元以及其餘衙門裏的人。
翠婆婆和瓜娃也都在那翹首以盼。
那位拄着拐杖的褚老也在那站着,時不時就往前邊看一眼。
除此之外,太醫院的太醫,今日也都在。
孫承啓孫老也在。
看到馬車過來。
原本就在議論紛紛,詢問怎麽還沒來的一群人,更是立刻就激動起來。
李文高和梅雪征,更是不約而同地擡起腳步,朝馬車快步迎去。
其餘人也紛紛緊随其後。
“王爺、王妃,梅大人他們過來了。”昌豐在外頭,提醒馬車裏的兩人。
其實即便他不說。
就外頭傳來的那點動靜,也足夠徐端宜和謝清崖聽見了。
馬車掀起。
徐端宜往外看,果然瞧見浩浩蕩蕩的一群人,正往他們這邊快步走來。
“不想見,我就先讓人送你回衙門休息。”謝清崖看出徐端宜精神不濟,自是不想勉強人在這費神。
徐端宜倒是搖了搖頭。
“沒事。”
“他們特地過來迎接我們,我哪好這樣直接走,何況孫老他們也在,他是我着碧溪特地請來的,這陣子實在麻煩他們,我合該與他們問聲好。”
謝清崖聽她這樣說,便也沒再勸她。
馬車早已停下,而外邊那群人也快走到馬車外了。
聽着那越來越近的腳步聲。
謝清崖與徐端宜對視一眼,方才掀起車簾,扶着人走了下去。
“出來了出來了,王爺和王妃出來了!”
幾乎他們才一露面,玉田的百姓便先高聲喊了起來。
李文高更是大步朝兩人,先走了過來。
本來就挺清瘦的人,一段時日過去,更是消瘦無比,一看到徐端宜和謝清崖,他就激動難抑,眼圈也紅了。
到底還記着規矩。
雖然失态,但還是聲音激動的,先與他們拱手問了好:“殿下,王爺!”
這大概還是李文高第一次,發自內心地給謝清崖問好。
徐端宜感覺到他的态度變化,沉悶的心裏,也因此感到了一些高興。
“李大人快請起。”
說完,梅雪征也過來了。
他的眼睛一直注視着謝清崖。
這段時間,他因為身份的緣故,不能去小院探望他們。
雖然每日都從令吉他們的口中,知曉他沒事,但心裏難免不放心。
此時見他安然無恙地站在他面前。
梅雪征甚至壓抑不住心情,想沖過去狠狠把人抱住,然後大力拍幾下他的肩膀,以此來發洩自己的心情。
好歹是忍住了。
他也壓抑着情緒,跟徐端宜和謝清崖問了好。
徐端宜自是也忙先讓人起來了。
接着是王伏新和喬炳元他們,他們同樣情難自抑。
他們又無需像梅雪征他們一樣,遮掩自己的情緒,幾乎才看到兩人,眼裏就先淌下了眼淚。
“哭什麽,我這不是好好的嗎?”謝清崖主動拍起兩人的肩膀。
徐端宜看着他們笑了下,也與他們問了好。
又跟着謝清崖見了那位褚老,等褚老握着謝清崖的手,激動說話的時候,她也沒去打擾他們,而是在碧溪和時雨的陪同之下,先去與孫老他們說了話。
那幾位太醫,見到徐端宜過來,自是立刻彎腰同人行了大禮。
他們都是被迫領了生死狀來的。
要是嘉順長公主真在這出什麽事,他們這顆項上人頭也難保。
此時見徐端宜安然無恙,他們自是高興不已。
“諸位辛苦了。”徐端宜先與他們客氣道。
他們一聽這話,自是連忙推辭道:“不苦不苦,只要殿下沒事就好。”
徐端宜與他們慰問一句之後,又去看那位白發蒼蒼的老者。
“孫老。”
她溫聲喊人。
孫承啓也是看着她長大的。
兼之自己的小徒兒又是她的貼身婢子,對她自然不像那些太醫一樣,只有恭敬。
他先仔細看了徐端宜一會。
确保她無事,方才舒了口氣說道:“殿下受苦了。”
徐端宜笑着與人說道:“我不苦,倒是讓孫老擔心了,也勞您這陣子在這費心了。”
“老朽一腳埋進黃土的人,多費些心沒什麽,倒是南安王能有這樣的大義,實乃玉田百姓之福。”
他近日一直在照料那個小孩。
自然聽說了當日南安王舍己為人的舉動。
他也是看着南安王長大的,從前沒少為人頭疼。
本書由LK團隊為您獨家整理 南安王性子頑劣,又天不怕地不怕,小的時候還領着旁人一起揪過他的胡子。
但後來王府出事,他也有許多年沒見過他了。
關于他的事跡,倒是聽了不少。
加上他那位好友,正是這位南安王的老師,他這些年,時常會聽自己的好友為此抱憾。
不似好友的遺憾,他倒是覺得十分正常。
大喜大悲之下,能改變的人和事,實在太多了,南安王少年得志,又痛失雙親和兄長,會變成這樣,很正常。
可如今看來——
他跟屈兄,倒是誤會他頗深啊。
不管其他,這位南安王能于這樣的危難時刻,自己一馬當先,救百姓于水火之中,就值得被稱贊。
這世間,赤子之心最為難得。
孫老正在誇贊謝清崖,謝清崖就先尋着徐端宜過來了。
他是來找徐端宜的。
未想一過來,就見那白發蒼蒼的老者,突然先沖他行了一禮,嘴上還跟他說道:“老朽謝王爺不顧危難,舍己為人!”
謝清崖也是自小在皇宮長大的人,怎麽可能不認識孫承啓?
他主動上前扶起老者,與人說道:“孫老不必多禮,我沒你說得那麽偉大。”
孫承啓起來之後,卻依舊一本正經地跟謝清崖,嚴肅說道:“王爺此言差矣,雖說那孩子并非時疫,但倘若真是時疫,王爺當日此舉,就是救了萬千百姓于水火之中。”
“何況玉田這樣的情況,不發生時疫才是奇談。”
“老朽活了一輩子,從前但凡有災害的地方,必定伴随着一些疫病,玉田這邊能沒事,還能這麽快恢複模樣,全賴王爺和諸位大人在這救治有方。”
謝清崖被人說得耳朵又開始嗡嗡作響了。
他十分無奈地跟徐端宜對視了一眼,心裏則忍不住悄悄腹诽起來。
怪不得這孫老頭能跟老頭子當朋友,兩人這說起話來就停不下來的本事,簡直如出一轍。
他索性不再多言,任孫老說着。
果然,沒一會功夫,他也就消停了,只是在謝清崖動身朝徐端宜走去的時間裏,他忽然又看着謝清崖說了一句:“我來的那日,屈老曾來過我家一趟,話裏話間,都十分擔心你。”
謝清崖聽到這話,腳步忽然一頓。
直到手被徐端宜握住,看到她望過來的擔憂目光,謝清崖方才回過神。
他先是沖人笑了下,而後回握住她的手。
待走到徐端宜身邊站好,他才跟孫老說話:“多謝孫老告知。”
還想問幾句。
卻也不知道能問什麽。
正遲疑着不知道說什麽才好,忽然聽到後頭傳來一陣動靜:“王爺、王爺!”
伴随着鄉音的女聲從後方出來。
謝清崖隐約覺得這個聲音有些熟悉,回頭看去,果然瞧見一個熟悉的婦人抱着個小孩,正往他這邊跑來。
“是之前那對母子嗎?”
耳旁傳來徐端宜的詢問,謝清崖嗯一聲,望着女人過來的方向,說道:“是他們。”
正說着。
那對母子也到跟前了。
才看到謝清崖,她就立刻朝人跪了下來,然後未等他們反應過來,她就先“咚咚咚”的,開始給人磕頭了。
鄉下的女人,沒讀過什麽書,也不懂什麽大道理。
但也知道自己這次惹禍了,也清楚,如果不是這位南安王及時帶走他們,讓人來給他們看治。
她的孩子,就真要被她耽誤掉了!
因此知曉今日南安王回來,她就立刻抱着孩子過來了,就是想親口同人道聲謝。
“多謝王爺救我娃兒!”
“如果不是王爺,我家娃兒就真的要被我耽誤掉了,我就這麽個娃,他要是沒了,我也不活了!”女人說着說着又哭了起來。
“碧溪,先去把人扶起來。”徐端宜和身側吩咐道。
碧溪立刻領命,帶着時雨上前扶人。
才扶起這個女人,褚老便拄着拐杖過來說話了。
“李氏,你要謝的不僅僅是南安王,還有南安王妃,給你家娃兒看病的,就是王妃遣人找來的。”
那女人一聽這話,忙在場上尋找起來。
待瞧見站在謝清崖身邊的徐端宜,便又要彎下膝蓋給人磕頭。
徐端宜見此,自是要出面阻攔。
只是還未等她開口,褚老便再次先與他們說道:“王爺、王妃,鄉下人不懂什麽大道理,也沒什麽能感謝你們的,我們能做的,也就是真心實意給你們磕個頭,剛才這位孫老太醫說的沒錯,如果不是你們,咱們玉田這次不會這麽快就恢複。”
“是你們帶給了我們希望!”
“玉田的百姓,一輩子都會銘記你們夫婦,還有梅大人、李大人,每一位來我們玉田幫忙的人,你們對我們有再造之恩啊!”
他說着便朝他們跪了下來,老人走起路來,顫顫巍巍,跪着的身板,卻十分挺直。
他跪下之後。
其餘玉田百姓,也紛紛朝他們跪了下來。
一時間,這裏環繞着的,只有這些百姓的感謝聲。
擲地有聲、振聾發聩。
徐端宜沒有說話。
她朝身邊的謝清崖看去,眼見他眼裏湧蕩着的複雜情緒,忽然覺得十分滿足。
她一直都希望。
有朝一日,他能回到從前那樣被人贊頌的時候。
她希望,百姓都能記着他的好。
他本來就該被人贊頌。
他原本就該受衆人矚目。
如今真的實現了,她怎麽會不高興呢?
謝清崖本來就該明朗如朝陽一般。
這樣很好,小院的生活的确美好,可那樣的美好,就像一場虛幻的夢,夢醒也就該散了。
不管以後她跟謝清崖會如何。
她都希望今日之後,謝清崖可以再也不用被旁人恥笑謾罵,所有的百姓都會記着他的好。
那她就心滿意足,沒有遺憾了。
她長時間的注視,自是引來了謝清崖的注視。
“怎麽了?”謝清崖低聲問她。
徐端宜笑着朝他搖了搖頭,在他的注視之下,又輕聲同他說道:“我就是高興。”
見謝清崖挑眉。
徐端宜卻未等他先說什麽,她就先與人說道:“先讓他們起來吧。”
Xie Qingya just hummed and said nothing.
He took two steps forward and just as he called out to them to get up, he heard a series of horse hoofbeats coming from the front.
Follow the sound.
Then they saw Cheng Hao, wearing armor, riding a horse towards them first.
Xie Qingya suddenly felt something in his heart.
He almost immediately looked at Xu Duanyi behind him.
Xu Duanyi didn't know what Xie Qingya was thinking. She was looking in the direction where Cheng Hao and the others were coming from. In her heart, she just thought that Uncle Cheng came to visit her after knowing that she was fine.
She was still a little worried that he would scold her.
Seeing Cheng Hao dismount from his horse and come over, she called him politely, "Uncle Cheng."
Cheng Hao didn't know why she went in.
He first bowed to Xie Qingya, then immediately looked at Xu Duanyi. Seeing that she was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief. He still had to say what he should say: "I advised Your Highness to go back earlier that day, but you refused to listen! Fortunately, nothing happened, otherwise, I really wouldn't be able to explain to the Marquis!"
That’s all.
Before Xu Duanyi could say anything.
Cheng Hao then said to the others, "Your Highness, please pack up. I will take you back to the capital right now. The Empress Dowager has issued an imperial decree to me to escort you back to the capital as soon as you come out."
