Chapter 11

The Wen family’s house is a large courtyard with four entrances. After entering the door, there is the main hall on the left, and the kitchen is connected to the garden on the right. Through the corridor in the middle, after passing the hanging flower door, it is the inner courtyard.

The living yard was in the west yard. The housekeeper took Chu Xiangtian in to settle down, and arranged two servants to wait for instructions before leaving.

Waving his hand to retreat, Chu Xiangtian picked up the cup on the table and looked at it. The Wen family is worthy of being a wealthy person in Sifang Town, and even the guests lived in the yard. The tea cups wrapped in blue and white branches are transparent and have a great feel. They are obviously not ordinary people at first sight.

Pour himself a cup of tea, and Chu Xiangtian silently pondered the follow-up plan.

What he said to Fu Youqin before was not all made up. Zhou Chuanqing had already explored the gold mine and found out the details. There were many people who mined the gold mine, and there were officers and soldiers around him to monitor it. The mining location was between Sifang Town and Lehe Town. The two towns could not stay out of the matter, and they might even involve more. What he had to do now was to figure out how deeply the Nanming County was involved in the gold mine.

It is very inconvenient for the bandit to go down the mountain. If you take the opportunity to move into the Wen family, it will be different. He has also heard of rumors outside, which is just a good excuse to stay.

But... Chu Xiangtian tapped his fingers on the table, and a pleasant smile appeared on his lips. The young master of the Wen family was afraid that he would glar at him angrily again.

*******

Lai Fu carried Wen Tian back to the East Courtyard. The doctor in the mansion was also summoned to come over quickly and checked Wen Tian again. The doctor rebanded the cloth towel. "The person who bandaged the young master was very good, and the wound was also good medicine. The wound did not get inflamed. You should not touch water in the past few days. I will change the medicine for the young master tomorrow."

Wen Tian curled his lips unhappily, "Can't you change it now?" He didn't want to use the bandit leader's things.

"This..." The doctor was a little embarrassed, "This injury medicine is better than the old one, and the wound heals faster."

Wen Tian moved his toes and said unhappyly that he would change tomorrow.

After the doctor left, Wen Tian wanted to take a shower again. In fact, Chu Xiangtian wiped him clean yesterday, but when he thought that it was Chu Xiangtian wiped him, even the man's clothes were wearing, he felt as uncomfortable as grass all over his body.

The doctor told me that I should not touch the water, so Dai Fu naturally did not dare to let him take a shower, so he had to ask his servant to carry a large wooden basin to wipe him.

Wen Tian took off his clothes behind the screen, and the injuries he bumped into his body did not hurt much. He looked in surprise, and even the bruises were faint. It seemed that they had really healed a lot.

If it were the past, it would not have been better than the blue and purple for half a month.

However, Wen Tian didn't think much about it and asked Dai Fu to wipe his body clean. He also disliked his hair not being clean and wanted to wash his hair.

Dai Fu had no choice but to change another basin of water to wash his hair, wrap it up with a cloth towel, and Wen Tian changed into a soft middle coat, feeling refreshed.

Putting on his outer robe, Wen Tian sat by the window, Dai Fu took a cloth towel to wipe his hair.

*******

Chu Xiangtian had nothing to do in the yard, so he asked the servant where Wen Tian’s yard was, and then he came over to tease Wen Tian.

As soon as I entered the yard, I saw Wen Tian sitting by the window.

Wen Tian's black hair was loose, with wet water vapor between his eyebrows and eyes. He was incredible soft. The collar of the middle is slightly open, and a light blue robe was casually worn outside. He leaned against the window with his elbows, and his bright black eyes looked at Chu Xiangtian.

Chu Xiangtian was about to talk to him when he saw the bright black eyes slowly widening, then a little anger arises, and then annoyed, and then annoyed, "Why haven't you left yet?!"

Chu Xiangtian was so amused that he felt very cute when he was angry, so he deliberately teased him: "Madam agrees that I will stay in the mansion for a few days, and I will just live in your yard."

"!!!" Wen Tian stood up suddenly, his upper body almost poked out from the window, staring at Chu Xiangtian fiercely, "No! There is no place for you to live in my yard!"

Chu Xiangtian pretended to be distressed, "But Mrs. said..."

Wen Tian interrupted him and said, "I only have the servant's room and study room empty."

He couldn't go to the room to stay in the lower room, and there was only a bamboo couch in the study. It was okay to have a cool lunch and have a rest at noon, but it would be a torture to sleep at night.

He thought Chu Xiangtian should retreat when he was in trouble, and Wen Tian showed some pride on his face, "I know there is an inn in the town..."

"Then I'll sleep in the study." Chu Xiangtian bent his mouth and bowed, "I'm disturbing Mr. Wen."

The smile on Wen Tian's face disappeared, and he stared at him like a ghost. After a moment, he snorted and sat down again, "If you want to sleep, go to bed!"

It made people angry again, but Chu Xiangtian felt more and more interesting. He sat down in the pavilion facing the window casually. When a servant served tea, he slowly savored a cup of tea, and he looked in a very good mood.

...

When the sun sets west, in order to welcome Wen Tian, ​​the kitchen cooked all the dishes today. Wen Tian is not easy to walk, so Dai Fu found two strong servants to chase him over in sedan chairs.

Chu Xiangtian was sensitive and felt that Fu Youqin asked his servant to give him a table alone, saying it was a family dinner, but he did not invite him over.

The family of four finally sat together again, but the atmosphere this time was not as harmonious as usual.

Wen Boli sat alone in the main seat. Instead of sitting in the usual mistress seat, Fu Youqin sat to Wen Tian's left, and Wen Shuyue was on the right side of Wen Tian. The mother and son sat intimately together, excluding Wen Boli.

Halfway through the meal, Wen Boli said that he was feeling uncomfortable and left first.

Wen Tian grinned secretly, but inquired on the surface, he took the opportunity to test Fu Youqin's attitude, "Why is my mother so angry this time?"

Fu Youqin sighed, with a deep sorrow between her eyebrows and eyes. She looked at Wen Tian lovingly, "I just feel... your father is different from before."

She married Wen Boli for 18 years. Whether before or after marriage, Wen Boli respected and loved her, and loved her very much for her two children, especially Wen Tian.

She never thought that one day when Wen Boli would retreat, and even wanted to ignore Wen Tian.

This discovery was like a thorn piercing her heart. The love for Wen Boli in the past was as ridiculous as Wen Tian, ​​and the hesitation he later seemed. Fu Youqin was unwilling to think so badly about her husband who had been with her for many years. However, Wen Boli's words and deeds really disappointed her for the first time.

Wen Tian held his hand, lowered his eyes and said softly: "People always change."

"Maybe..." Fu Youqin looked distant, and after a moment, she smiled sadly, "Forget it, don't talk about these unhappy people, have a meal first."

After dinner, Wen Boli asked his servants to pass the message and asked Wen Tian to go to the study.

The mother and son looked at each other, and Fu Youqin touched his face, "Go, he is your father after all, don't be irresistible because of my words."

Wen Tian nodded obediently and headed towards the study.

The servant helped Wen Tian sit on the chair, and turned his back to the window to contemplate Wen Boli, with a hint of heartache on his face, "Those thieves actually dare to hurt you!"

"I accidentally fell."

Wen Tian watched him play quietly, and on the way he came, he guessed Wen Boli's possible tricks.

Sure enough, after hearing what he said, Wen Boli froze his anger, and changed the topic a little awkwardly, "Doctor has seen it? Is the strict one serious?"

"I've seen it, it's not serious." Wen Tianxi's words were like gold, and he didn't want to say much to him, and his expression was not like the past admiration and contempt.

Wen Boli looked at his expression in surprise, and then sighed quietly after a moment, "Did your mother tell you something? I know... she is still angry with me."

Wen Tian suddenly looked up at him, his eyes a little fierce in an instant. Wen Boli was startled, but when he looked carefully, Wen Tian's expression was faint again.

"At that time, your mother wanted to hire militia to go up the mountain to save you, but I didn't agree, so she was angry about me for a few days." Wen Boli sighed, "Even your sister is unwilling to talk to me."

Wen Tian lowered his eyes and said nothing. Wen Boli didn't know if he listened or not, so he had to continue saying, "But the bandits in Xishantou are so vicious, where can the hired people depend on?"

"I'm not worried about you, but only the government has the ability to save you. Look... if the government hadn't sent troops this time, your return wouldn't have been so smooth."

Wen Tian was angry, but after hearing what he said, he almost laughed. He looked up and asked Wen Boli seriously, "But the government sent troops, and my mother forced her to come to the door with her account book. Later, she sent troops to suppress the bandits, and the one who followed the officers and soldiers up the mountain was also my mother... Where were you at that time? How could you feel at ease to let her go up the mountain with a woman?"

Wen Boli's face turned red, and he looked at Wen Tian unable to speak.

Wen Tian felt ridiculed in his heart that this person didn't love them at all, so he didn't care about their life or death. His daily fashion was flawless, and he would reveal his filling when it was a critical moment of life or death.

Troubles meet people's hearts.

He rubbed his forehead and said tiredly: "I'm tired and want to go back and rest first."

Wen Boli wanted to say something, but Wen Tian had already called the servant in and did not give him a chance to continue speaking.

The servant carried the sedan chair and walked away slowly. A "bang" sound came from the study room behind him. Wen Tian changed his previous fatigue and bent his lips happily, thinking that it was time to find an opportunity to give his mother a little insight.

When he returned, he passed by the study room. The lights were still on in the study room, and a tall figure was projected on the window paper. Wen Tian was in a happy mood and thought that if Chu Xiangtian had not done these things, it would have taken some effort to expose Wen Boli's hypocritical mask. His hostility towards Chu Xiangtian was suddenly reduced. After returning to the room, he asked Dai Fu to send two beds to the study room.

Chu Xiangtian was about to rest. Although the bamboo couch in the study was a little harder, he had never slept anywhere in the marching and war. The bamboo couch was considered good, so he didn't mind, so he put his clothes on and prepared to lie down.

Dai Fu knocked in with his bedding in his arms, and Chu Xiangtian raised his eyebrows at the thick bedding, "Is this...?"

"Young Master asked me to send it to you." Dai Fu Xianglai and Wen Tian vented his anger. Wen Tian didn't like Chu Xiangtian before, and he had no good expression on Chu Xiangtian. Although he took the initiative to care about him for some reason, Dai Fu was also much more polite.

"Thank you to Mr. Wen for me." Chu Xiangtian took the quilt. The soft quilt was still smelling of incense. He spread the quilt neatly. The smile on the corner of his mouth was even more obvious. Unexpectedly, he was still a little person with a hard mouth and a soft heart.
