433 Wu Xun
It was at this moment that the young master in the room started to cough again.
Cough cough cough, it seems like I want to cough out all my internal organs.
Changqi heard the sound of drinking water again, and it was the young master who was drinking water to suppress the urge to cough.
After all, she couldn't help but feel curious and rushed under the window.
Changqi promised that she just wanted to take a look at the appearance of the cousin. I heard that a ten-year-old man is not as big as a seven-year-old baby. She is now seven years old. She wants to see if this cousin is like a younger brother and she looks like an older sister in front of him.
Changqi has always been an action-oriented person. She just did it and immediately wet her fingers and wanted to poke a hole in the window paper.
But her fingers were raised, and after seeing it, Changqi realized it and felt the cold and slippery touch. When she raised her conditioned reflex, she saw that on the window in the room of Gongzi, there was not paper but glass.
...I made a mistake!
But this is not a problem for the little clever ghost Changqi. If the windows are not good, isn’t there still a door?
Then, Changqi pushed open the door and walked in with a swagger.
Although she was swaggering, Changqi's movements were very "gentle". The movements of her pushing the door were almost gone, and the coughing sound of the young master in the house was used to cover up. So neither the servant living in the wing room nor the woman working in the kitchen did not notice anything wrong.
But Mr. Chou heard the silence of the whisper. He didn't think much, but thought that the servant was going back and said, "So happy, go to bed, I'm fine, cough, I'll take a rest when the medicine works. You go to bed first, and call me up earlier tomorrow to pay my respects to my grandmother, otherwise I'll have to come and see me in person."
After the words were finished, he received no response. The young master who was holding the book couldn't help but look up in surprise, and then he saw a white bedclothes and hair scattered, leaning out from behind the screen to see his long silk.
Mr. Chou: "..." His heart almost popped out of his mouth!
It is said that ghosts can't scare people, and scare people can't scare people. Wu Xun had never questioned this before. After all, his survival experience in the past few years told him that sometimes living people are indeed more terrifying than dead people.
However, this time he felt that the old saying was wrong, because sometimes ghosts can scare people to death.
For example, at some point just now, he really thought it was a ghost who was killing his life.
If it weren't for the steady nature and the presence of ghosts and monsters, Wu Xun had developed a kind of heart and a skill that was as calm as a mountain, now he would not sit on the bed and look at Changqi, but shouted in horror.
But this is a living person because she has a shadow and she is not a ghost.
Wu Xun's disordered heartbeat gradually calmed down. He looked straight at Changqi, who continued to look at him ignorantly.
The little girl's eyes were innocent and flawless. She looked at him without any malice, only curiosity. She seemed to be curious why he could cough so much? What disease did he have and what was uncomfortable in his body?
As soon as these questions came to mind, Wu Xun was shocked. His chaotic mind finally returned and he woke up completely.
Because of the scare just now, Wu Xun's cough was gone. Now he calmed down and his throat was not so itchy.
Wu Xun took a sip of tea and pretended to moisten his throat, which was really calming down his disordered mood. After a while, he asked Changqi, "Little girl, it's midnight, why did you run into my room?"
Xiao Changqi confirmed that this person was really harmless, so she walked out from behind the screen openly. She stared at Wu Xun for a while before answering his question, "You coughed, I couldn't sleep, I'll come and take a look."
Wu Xun choked and didn't know how to respond.
Wake up by his cough? Then this little girl should be from this mansion, right? And her yard should be near his yard, otherwise how could she be alarmed by the noise he made?
However, he lived in the grandfather's family for more than a year and knew the people of the grandfather's family and even the servants in the mansion. This little girl could never be the daughter of the servant. She only knew from the priceless bracelet in her hand that this little girl was either rich or noble, and she was definitely the one who was served by her master.
However, he was sure that no one in the mansion had brought such a young girl to visit and stay in the mansion in recent days. Although there were girls of similar age in his uncle's house, he did not mean that he could admit his relative's cousin's mistake.
So the question is, where did this girl come from? Who is it?
Wu Xun had some speculations in his mind, but he felt it was unlikely. But except for the explanation in his mind, he couldn't think of a more reliable possibility.
Wu Xun sat upright and waved at Changqi. Xiao Changqi had carefully looked at this brother. The task was completed and she felt that she could go back to sleep. But since he waved her to pass, then she would go there.
This brother is sick and thin, his cheeks are sunken, and he looks really bad. He is so ugly and weak, so he must not go out to play, so he has no friends.
She came to visit late at night and disturbed him. As an apology, it would be okay to chat and talk with this brother for a while.
But, cough, you can't call me brother anymore. Changqi thinks she should call me brother.
Because of this... my brother was really too thin. The laces on his clothes were spread apart, and she saw the ribs on his chest. He was so thin, as if she could pinch him into powder in one hand.
Dangerous thoughts floated through my heart, and Changqi quickly interrupted.
It is a sin to break into someone's boudoir at night. If you dare to hurt someone again, your mother will not let her go no matter what.
Even if it is "visiting the boudoir at night", it is best not to let parents know about it. Otherwise, if you think about the days when you were punished to copy books, Changqi will feel that she has no desire to live.
Wu Xun didn't know why this little girl suddenly changed her face, and her whole body became weak from her previous interest.
He saw Changqi coming over obediently, so he asked her to sit on the chair next to him.
The chair was seated by an adult, and Changqi sat on her feet and couldn't touch the ground. Her two little feet were kicking and stomping in the air, looking bored.
Wu Xun saw Changqi's exposed hind ankle, and his whole body was like being stung by a bee, so he quickly turned his eyes away.
He coughed lightly and asked Changqi again, "You said my coughing made you sleep, but I remember that the yards near me were all lived by my cousins. Even if the backyard is closer to my yard, there is no girl as big as you. You are not from the Qin Mansion, so tell me where did you come from?"
"Of course I'm not from your mansion, I'm the girl from Xu's mansion next door." Changqi said distractedly.
When Wu Xun heard this, he said "Asolutely".
It was a lively outside for a while today, and the servant came and reported that it was the husband of Xu's mansion next door who brought his family over. I heard that there were two nieces, and they were going to live there for a while.
Living in the same alley, the Qin family is an old resident here, and they know the surrounding families well.
The Xu family bought the Han family's house and settled here. For safety reasons, Xu Chong's origin was also clearly found by the Qin family.
This is the younger brother of Governor Xu's relatives. His inner fellow was said to follow his brother south and raise his baby in Tongzhou. This time, Governor Xu came to rectify the Minzhou officialdom, and Xu Langjun, who went back to visit his relatives, came back together.
This is no secret at all. As long as you are interested in exploring it, you can always know it.
Xu Chong's identity has been clear, and there is news that Governor Xu has arrived in Minzhou today. He should know who the two girls from the Xu family who moved to the Xu Mansion are. The little girl in his house, by age, should be Governor Xu's youngest daughter.
After knowing the identity of the visitor, the stone in Wu Xun's heart fell to the ground.
He is a person who cherishes his life, otherwise he would not have lived until now through many murders. Although he has a great life, if he is not strong in his desire to survive, he will not be able to live now.
The Governor's young daughter would not attack him no matter what her considerations were made.
With the guarantee of his own safety, Wu Xun spoke again with indescribable ease, "But whether it is the Qin family or the Xu family, they are all big houses. I am a male and live in the outer courtyard. You are a female family member, so you must live in the inner courtyard of the Xu family. And you are still a little girl, parents are worried about you, your yard should be near the yard of the elders near the central axis. By doing this, the distance between our two yards is really far, how could I disturb you?" I couldn't even disturb the elders of the Qin family's inner courtyard, and even the cousins next to me were not awakened. When I chose the yard, I had already chosen as remote as possible. Why was my own people not awakened, but instead made the girl who moved into the next yard on the first day so quarrel that she couldn't sleep?
Wu Xun was also confused, but Changqi quickly answered him, "Can those people compete with me? I have been learning martial arts since elementary school, and I can basically hear the movements of two miles in a radius of two miles. As long as I want to hear them, I can basically hear them."
Wu Xun: “…”
Wu Xun's expression on his face was hard to describe, and he didn't know what words to use to describe it.
Changqi seemed to know that when she told martial arts, outsiders would be afraid of her eavesdropping on their little secrets, but she was pitiful and she didn't have that time to do it. Isn't practicing good? Isn't shopping? Or is it not delicious to go out to eat delicious food?
She is busy every day, but she has no time to take care of others.
As soon as she shouted out, Wu Xun became more and more silent.
Changqi mistakenly regards this silence as envy. Indeed, if she does not have a good body and can only stay in the mansion sickly every day, then he will be very jealous when he hears others say they go out to play. When he hears others say that eating delicious food, he can't help drooling. She will still think, this person is so bad, even though she knows that I can't eat and can't get out, she still deliberately greed for me and tempts me. He is so bad!
Thinking of this, Changqi felt a little guilty.
Who is Wu Xun? He almost instantly noticed Changqi's mentality change, but what can he do? He can't do anything, and he can only be more silent for a moment.
He himself is in the mud, and it is human instinct to envy beautiful and childish things. He wants the little girl to talk to him about the outside world, but this is not suitable.
Wu Xun resisted the temptation and looked at the night covered by the curtains, "It's too late. If there is nothing to do, go back. I won't cough anymore. Even if I cough again later, I will try my best to endure it and try not to disturb you. If the girl's purpose is just this, I understand that she can go back and rest with confidence."
Changqi also felt that she should go back, but for some reason, she felt a little uncomfortable when she looked at her brother's disappointed appearance.
It is an instinct to pity the weak, not to mention that Xiao Changqi has a heart that can help the weak and acts as a chivalrous and righteous person. This makes her increasingly reluctant to look down on the weak and just want to help one by one.
Changqi wanted to say something, but suddenly there was a movement outside the door. However, footsteps were coming towards this side. After a while, a sleepy voice asked, "Young Master, are you talking? Do you want to drink warm water or think of night?"
Wu Xun's face suddenly turned red. He was a young man who wanted to be handsome. When someone asked about the question about the night in front of the girl, his face felt hot.
Wu Xun said, "You heard it wrong. I didn't say anything before. I don't drink water or get up at night. After reading this page of the book, I'll be ready to rest. Shunxin, go back to sleep, and call me to wake me up early tomorrow morning to pay my respects to my grandmother."
Shunxin touched her head, muttered, "Did I have heard" while responding "Yes", and turned around and went back to the room to continue to rest.
Changqi said quietly, "You can speak. I heard Shunxin lying down to sleep, and he snored a little."
Wu Xun's lips twitched, "You just said that you don't like to spy on others' movements and exploring people's privacy is disrespectful to others, and people know that they must hold a grudge against you."
"I know. So I rarely listen to other people's movements. Isn't this because I am afraid that you will not dare to speak, so I listen to the smooth movements and calm your heart."
A smile appeared on Wu Xun's lips, and he tried hard to press down the corner of his raised mouth, but unfortunately, it seemed that it did not work.
Changqi jumped off the stool at some point, pulled the stool forward, and approached the bed.
Wu Xun didn't know what she was going to do, but she moved in with the quilt. When Changqi saw it, she said, "Don't be afraid, I won't do anything to you. I'll get closer and make it easier for us to talk."
Then, Changqi really started talking.
She seemed to have completely forgotten the fact that she should go back, and even talked about some messy things with Wu Xun.
Wu Xun didn't know if he was too stuffy, or he was uncomfortable in his chest, so he couldn't sleep, so he even followed Changqi to pull.
The two of them said a lot, talking about Changqi’s past years, the scenery and human feelings of Liaodong, capital, and Jiangnan.
Changqi's words were very sensible, and Wu Xun listened with relish.
He also came from the capital, but unfortunately he was too young when his mother passed away and had limited memory of the capital. When his stepmother entered the door, he had never felt good. He had to have an illness every month, but he was very dangerous every time. Even if he survived by chance, he had to cultivate well in bed.
He could not stand the wind or the cold, so he naturally could not go out and could not socialize with others and see the scenery.
He is even more wealthy than some boudoirs. Now, he has cleared the layers of clouds and mist in his mind and found that the memories left to him by the capital were nothing but the sky in the corner of the yard.
