Chapter 181: Disguise
Rouxin rented a small courtyard in Shaoling County and placed Wei Wujing there.
Because of the hot weather, Rouxin had to dig well water to cool him down many times to give him cold compresses.
Ten days ago, Wei Wujing could not eat, so he could only drink soup to maintain it. His abdominal trauma was still tolerated. However, his internal injuries often made him unable to sleep at night. The soft heart guarded Wei Wujing's side day and night.
A month later, Wei Wujing's injuries gradually improved. He was able to walk down the ground, no different from ordinary people.
Although Wei Wujing failed to kill Prince Jinlan, his wish was done.
Rouxin brought him a chair from the house. Wei Wujing sat on the chair and looked at the flowers, plants and trees in the yard. He asked Rouxin and realized that Young Master Qingqian had let them go. As long as he continued to keep Rouxin by his side, he would be safe and sound.
But he once promised Prince Jinlan that as long as he wins himself, he will go back with a gentle heart. Although he is not a gentleman, he was also the financial backer of Weihong Organization. He naturally understood that a promise is a must for people with his identity.
"Time flies so fast!" Wei Wujing took the tea ceremony that Rouxin handed him.
"We will go back in two days!" Rouxin went into the kitchen to get some food.
Wei Wujing's internal injuries have not yet healed, and he cannot use his internal strength now. But he is not worried that Gongzi Qingqian will not send anyone to stare at them in order to protect Rouxin.
Wei Wujing expected that it was not bad at all. Young Master Qingqian did not ask anyone to investigate Wei Wujing's whereabouts.
Since Rouxin can save Wei Wujing, she will definitely not be able to do anything. But why did she do this? Since Gongzi Qingqian returned to Zhuyang Town, she has often sat in the study in a daze.
"Young Master!" Han Guang handed a letter to Young Master Qingqian. Young Master Qingqian opened it and saw that it was Young Master Jinlan who asked him to go to Yipin Teahouse in the capital tomorrow to taste tea!
Gongzi Qingqian knew that Gongzi Jinlan wanted to ask about Rouxin and Wei Wujing.
After resting for a month, Gongzi Jinlan's body had basically recovered. He used the traceless ointment that Gongzi Qingqian gave Rouxin. Love for beauty was the most important thing among the children of the gentry at that time. Gongzi Jinlan came from a noble family and naturally could not avoid the common people.
"Do everything you need, don't worry about where he comes from!" Mr. Jinlan could still hear Tuan's words. So there was no scar on his body.
Tuan accompanied Gongzi Jinlan to the First Pin Building. This is a rare thing. Because Gongzi Jinlan's internal injuries have not yet healed, Tuan went to protect his master just in case.
Ordinary people can't afford to drink the tea in Yipinlou. Young Master Jinlan sat in Yipincai Curie and looked at the door of the house.
Young Master Qingqian walked into the house almost stepping on time. He was wearing white clothes and white robe, looking very handsome and free.
Young Master Jinlan narrowed his eyes and looked at Young Master Qingqian into the house to sit down, and then he signaled to serve tea.
Young Master Qingqian glanced at the girl who was making tea. Young Master Jinlan said coldly: "You retreat first!"
"What? Are you afraid I will hurt you?" Young Master Qingqian said when he saw Tuan standing behind Gongzi Jinlan motionless.
"Just just stay outside the door!" Young Master Jinlan ordered Tuan.
Tuan glanced at Gongzi Qingqian with dissatisfaction and left the door. He closed the door and stood there.
"Rouxin saved him!" Young Master Qingqian's voice was very low. If the news leaked, no one could protect Rouxin. Rescuing the rebels is like a complicity in the rebellion, which is a serious crime to kill the nine clans!
"How could it be?" Young Master Jinlan was full of doubts. It is possible that Wei Wujing used his soft heart to be a hostage to force Young Master Qingqian to give up chasing him. Young Master Jinlan never expected that this was the result. No wonder Young Master Qingqian returned to Beijing shortly after he came back!
Young Master Jinlan's voice became a little uncomfortable. He picked up the teacup and took a sip of the tea.
Next was silence. Neither of them said a word.
Young Master Jinlan had already drunk three cups of tea, but Young Master Qingqian had never even picked up the teacup.
"He will fulfill his promise and come back with a soft heart!" After drinking tea, young master Jinlan had already seen sweat on his forehead.
Gongzi Qingqian saw that Gongzi Jinlan's body was still relatively weak. However, his words calmed down.
Young Master Qingqian picked up the teacup and took a sip, then put it down, then he got up and left.
"Young Master! Are you okay?" Tuan saw that Young Master Jinlan had her eyes closed and sweaty on his forehead, so he took out a handkerchief to wipe it on him.
"Okay! Let's go back too!" Young Master Jinlan stood up and calmed his mind.
Young Master Jinlan didn't believe in the emotional relationship between Rouxin and Wei Wujing, but he just couldn't guess why Rouxin wanted to save Wei Wujing.
Wei Wujing was sitting quietly in the small courtyard at this time and said nothing.
A cicada sang unknowingly, breaking the silence in the yard.
"Eat!" Rouxin worked hard for most of the day and made a few side dishes.
"Okay! Let's go together!" Wei Wujing saw Rouxin sitting down, so he handed her a pair of chopsticks.
As Rouxin put down the bowls and chopsticks, Wei Wujing stood up and said, "Let's go!"
Rouxin followed Wei Wujing and did not dare to go to the official path. After all, Wei Wujing was still a wanted criminal.
The two of them walked for most of the day and sat by a stream. Neither of them had any experience in survival in the wild.
Night fell. Wei Wujing and Rouxin picked up some branches to prepare a fire, but found that there was no flint at all.
Rouxin took out the cold steamed buns from the bag and handed them to Wei Wujing. The two of them ate them in the stream.
Wei Wujing had never drunk raw water, so he had a stomachache.
Wei Wujing, who had been struggling all night, woke up in the morning without any strength.
It is not a solution to continue like this. Rouxin thought to look at Wei Wujing, who was sitting under the tree and was drooping.
"Why don't we change our costume and go to the countryside?" Wei Wujing thought he could give it a try.
They finally walked out of the forest and came to a town to change into the clothes of the country people. However, their appearance was extremely elegant and gentle. Even if they wore ordinary clothes, they could not hide their temperament.
Rouxin also discovered this problem. She thought that it might be better if the two of them were a little darker. So she went to buy rouge and drip, and put it on her face.
Wei Wujing looked at Rouxin with curiosity and was busy. After Rouxin was painted with dark rouge, Wei Wujing realized Rouxin's intention.
Rouxin asked Wei Wujing to apply some on her face. Wei Wujing would not agree to anything.
A handsome face was pursued by the children of the gentry in that era. Although Wei Wujing was an orphan of the previous dynasty, he was also considered a nobleman. How could he damage his own face?
"Either paint or continue walking on the mountain road!" Rouxin placed the bronze mirror and the adjusted rouge on the table in front of Wei Wujing.
Wei Wujing frowned.
"Maybe the next moment, the officers and soldiers will walk into this inn!" Rouxin closed the door of the guest room.
Wei Wujing was forced to apply a thin layer of dark rouge on his face.
"It seems useless!" Wei Wujing looked at himself in the bronze mirror without much change except for his darker complexion.
"Your hair bun needs to be changed!" Rouxin picked up the comb and combed the countryman's hair bun for Wei Wujing, and tied it with a cloth strap.
"We can ride a horse faster!" Wei Wujing really didn't like his outfit.
"You wait!" Rouxin said and went out.
When Rouxin came back, Wei Wujing left the inn door. He saw a ox cart. There were two sacks of rice and some fruits and vegetables on the ox cart.
"Get into the car!" Rouxin handed a straw hat to Wei Wujing.
Wei Wujing sighed and got on the ox cart. Although the ox cart was regarded as a cart by the literati who liked to talk, Wei Wujing, who was a royal family, did not like it.
Rouxin was driving for the first time, and she couldn't help but feel a little scared. However, the ox cart ran very slowly, and the ox only walked along the country roads and did not walk around. So Rouxin didn't struggle to drive it.
But the cows would only hide from the stones on the road themselves and would not avoid the car, so their ox cart overturned.
