Chapter 94: Seeing and Not Seeing
Although Yu Ren and Lu Xiangsheng were not necessarily better than the five people in Wansong Academy, their wit and tenacity made everyone see the spirit of famous generals in them.
In my heart, Miss Yun'er's things were not so simple. Although they found him back since Yang Ju disappeared, Yang Ju had changed his body, and had always been drinking and never leaving his glasses behind. This made Yun'er very angry.
Of course, if it were just because Yang Ju was her lady's senior brother, Yun'er would naturally not be too angry. The key point is that Yang Ju is not just her lady's senior brother. Three years ago, the master personally agreed in front of all relatives and friends to betroth their lady to Yang Ju.
In other words, Yang Ju is her future son-in-law. However, seeing that this originally romantic son-in-law has now become a useless drunkard. How could Yun'er not hate him?
So, when Yun'er saw Yu Ren, he had an idea in his mind. Yu Ren was her idol, and her lady was her god. How great would it be if the lady was married to Yu Ren?
Although Yun'er has a bad temper, she is a smart girl. She can tell from her lady's words and deeds that the lady actually has some feelings for Yu Ren, but because of her identity, she deliberately tried her best to suppress this kind of feeling in her heart.
However, Yun'er has been with Zhao Rui for six or seven years. Sometimes, she even knows Zhao Rui's thoughts clearly than she herself.
Yun'er is not Zhao Rui. Even if Zhao Rui is interested in Yu Ren, she would not dare to think too much because her father had already made the verbal promise to the Yang family. Yun'er believed that this verbal promise might not be changed. What's more, the master originally promised the lady to him because he was also a young leader in the Donglin Party at that time and was a young talent in the world. But at this time, he was just a depressed drunkard, so how could the lady marry him?
So Yun'er tried every means to get her lady together with Yu Ren.
With such a thought, Yun'er thought that the first obstacle to be removed was the pair of masters and servants who came out of nowhere in front of her. Although Yun'er had never been in love, she was not completely ignorant of men and women. From the look of Yu Ren's eyes when she looked at Li Ying, she knew that Yu Ren liked this woman very much.
Yun'er secretly decided in her heart that for the future happiness of the lady, she must find a way to get rid of the threat in front of her.
"The doctor said that Mr. Yu needs rest. All irrelevant people go out, don't surround him here." When Yun'er said this, she glared at Li Ying.
"Who is an irrelevant person!" Ying'er became angry when she heard this. She had actually seen that the girl next to Miss Zhao was not kind to her and the lady. During the two days when Yu Ren was unconscious, this girl had sarcasticated them more than once. This time, Ying'er decided not to give in.
However, Li Ying stopped her in time. Li Ying was still aware of the general situation. He knew that the two women in front of him were Yu Ren's friends. At this time, arguing with them would only cause trouble for Yu Ren and be unfavorable to his condition. So she chose to give in.
"Oh! Ying'er, we have been out for a long time, and there are still many things to do at home! Since Mr. Yu has woken up, it's time for us to go back." Li Ying said to Ying'er.
"You can rest assured to recuperate! We will see you tomorrow." Li Ying walked up to Yu Ren's bedside and whispered.
Yu Ren didn't say anything, he just nodded silently.
Watching Li Ying's master and servant go out, Yun'er also retreats, she wants to create an opportunity for her lady.
Seeing that Li Ying and his servant left, Yu Ren was no longer interested. After that, he simply asked Zhao Rui about Lu Xiangsheng's condition, and then closed his eyes and fell asleep again.
The next morning, after breakfast, Li Ying took Ying'er to Lizhuang to see Yu Ren. She was still worried about Yu Ren, afraid that his wound would not be treated well and would not be healed easily.
Li Zhuang is a friend of Zhao Rui's father, Zhao Nanxing, a friend in Hangzhou, located on the Qiantang River in the south of Hangzhou. It is very close to the city, less than five miles away. Because it is backed by green mountains and Qiantang River in the south, the environment is elegant and not as noisy as in the city.
Therefore, after Yu Ren was injured, Zhao Rui borrowed this village from Li Shibo to recover from Yu Ren. Zhao Nanxing's friend actually had a great background. Although he had retired at home at this time, his influence in the court was still extremely great. After learning about Yang Ju and Zhao Rui's trip to Hangzhou, this man sent the most capable housekeeper in the mansion and came to Hangzhou with Yang Ju and Zhao Rui.
He also told the butler to fully follow Zhao Rui's arrangements. If you need money, just withdraw it from your own Hangzhou office. Zhao Rui has been in Hangzhou for a while, so it is inseparable from the support of Zhao Nanxing, a friend who can do Yu Ren and others in such a good way.
And there is only one reason why this Li Shibo was so willing to support Yang Ju and the others - he was also a member of the Donglin Party.
As for Lu Xiangsheng, Zhao Rui originally wanted to bring him together. However, Lu Xiangsheng was a person who liked the fun. He insisted on living in the city. Zhao Rui had no choice but to arrange him in the restaurant and Yunjian Teahouse that he opened in Hangzhou. Fortunately, the environment of Yunjian Teahouse is not bad, and it is in the city, so it is convenient to do something.
Li Ying and Ying'er came in a carriage this time. The two entered Lizhuang but failed to see Yu Ren immediately. The maid in charge of the reception said that Yu Ren was asleep. They asked them to wait here, and they could only go in after Yu Ren woke up.
After saying that, the little maid presented tea and withdrew, and no one was seen again.
Li Ying took Ying'er patiently for more than half an hour, but there was still no movement in the inner courtyard. She was really anxious. She has been very busy recently! It is not easy to take such a little time every day! So Li Ying asked Ying'er to find someone. She didn't want to waste time here anymore. She wanted to see Yu Ren immediately and see how he was doing.
Ying'er went there for a while but didn't come back. Li Ying became even more anxious. "It couldn't be that something happened to him, right?" Li Ying murmured in her heart.
When Li Ying thought of this possibility, she could no longer sit still. She would feel relieved when she saw Yu Ren immediately. "Since you don't take me there, I'll go by myself." Li Ying had this idea, but she no longer sat here waiting for them to come and invite him.
However, Li Zhuang is really not young. Li Ying has only been here once, but someone else has led her. Naturally, she doesn't know much about the way she can only find and guess based on her memory. Not long after she left, she got lost and couldn't tell which direction was the house where Yu Ren lived. Li Ying was about to look for it everywhere, but she saw the little girl who had served her tea before coming over.
Li Ying quickly flashed behind the rockery beside her. She didn't want the little girl to see her. After all, it was very impolite to break into the inner house without the permission of her master.
The little girl met another person as soon as she walked to the rockery. So the two of them avoided the rockery and started whispering.
"Sister Qiang'er. You tell me, why are our ladies so kind to this Mr. Yu? Just now, I saw the lady personally change the medicine for Mr. Yu's wounds. Every meal of Mr. Yu's meals will be fed by the lady myself."
Li Ying suddenly heard the two girls discussing their masters and Yu Ren, and then raised her ears and sounded.
"You can't even understand this. Our lady is interested in Gun Gong Yu! Look! I heard that Gun Gong Yu's father was the head of the Ministry of Justice in Nanjing. Our master also worked as a doctor in the examination. Although he is no longer in court, his disciples and old friends are spread all over the world. Our two families are both families of officials. They are just a match.
More importantly, Xianggong Yu is talented, and our ladies are beautiful. As the saying goes, a talented man and a beautiful woman, isn’t that the case!" Sister Qiang looked like she knew the inside story.
"But, I heard that the two women who came yesterday were also the confidants of Mr. Yu. Do you think our lady has hope?"
Sister Qiang said disdainfully, "What's wrong with those two women? As soon as I saw them, I knew that they were of low origins. Can they compare with our ladies? No matter whether our ladies are talented or beautiful or in family background, they are not better than that woman. How could Mr. Yu look at that woman?
Our lady and Mr. Yu are the ones made in heaven and earth. Those two women are just toads who want to eat swan meat.”
Sister Qiang said this, turned her head and looked around, and then whispered to the little girl, "I'll tell you. I've just passed by Mr. Yu's room. At that time, I was about to go in and ask the lady what meals to arrange at noon. Guess what I saw?"
"What did you see?" The little girl knew that it must be Sister Qiang who discovered some secret between Mr. Yu and the lady, and she couldn't help but feel a little excited.
