"Who are you, and why are you here in the middle of the night?"

As soon as Xi Qingyan's words came out, the person holding the lamp on the opposite side had already noticed their presence and scolded them coldly.

"..."

Xi Qingyan and his party originally wanted to find a suitable time to go out, but now there is no need to even look for a chance.

Yunfei didn't know whether the other party was an enemy or a friend, and was about to pull out the sword he was carrying.

Xi Qingyan reached out and pushed Yunfei's sword back, then stepped forward to negotiate.

"We are strangers to this young master. We are not familiar with the place we live in Li County. Somehow he ended up in the mountains. My husband fell off his horse and has already passed out."

Ming Xiu looked at the woman walking over, and then looked at the three or four big men behind Xi Qingyan. One of them was indeed lying on someone else's back.

"The clothes on your body are bright and beautiful, and you don't look like people from poor families. Why do you people, who are either rich or noble, ignore the good official roads and insist on walking on these rugged roads?"

Although Xi Qingyan's appearance reduced the grudge in Mingxiu's heart a bit, he was already hesitant about Xi Qingyan's words.

"..."

Xi Qingyan didn't expect the other party to be so wary, so she could only explain carefully.

"Yes, we are indeed from a wealthy family. However, although my husband comes from a wealthy family, he is not in good health. Our trip this time is actually to seek medical treatment for him. When we were in the capital, someone told us,

There is a famous doctor who travels deep in the mountains here in Li County."

"We came here with the attitude of giving it a try, but we didn't expect that it rained all night in the dilapidated house. We abandoned the official road and entered the mountains and got lost here, and my husband accidentally fell off his horse.

..."

Xi Qingyan spoke half-truthfully to the person in front of her.

The truth was told along with the lies, and for a while Mingxiu couldn't tell how much of it was true or false.

However, Mingxiu is not a person who refuses to save someone.

He glanced at Su Lixiao who was being carried on his back, and finally gave in.

"Li County is just a little-known place. Most of you have been deceived. There are no famous doctors here."

Ming Xiu let out a long sigh.

"It's getting late today, and there is no other family in this deep mountain besides mine. If you don't mind my humble residence, you can spend the night with me."

"Thank you, sir!"

Xi Qingyan was overjoyed when she saw Ming Xiu regressing.

She just noticed Ming Xiu's behavior of observing Su Lixiao, and knew that the person in front of her was a kind and generous person even if his name was unknown.

"Thank you sir for saving our master."

Yunfei also didn't expect that Xi Qingyan's intervention in this matter would be more effective than his intervention.

"You don't want to call me a young master. How can a person like me be considered a young master?" Ming Xiu listened to Xi Qingyan's words and thought about everything he had experienced in the first half of his life. He felt extremely ironic.

He really can't afford the word "gongzi".

"You should call me by my name. My name is Mingxiu."

Ming Xiu announced his home address and led Xi Qingyan and his party back to the place he remembered.

As Ming Xiu said, the residence is very simple and can be described as a house with only four walls, but even in such a simple place, there are still two piles of books neatly placed in the house.

Those books are the cleanest and neatest place in the house.

Xi Qingyan helped Su Lixiao lie on the bed. After taking care of Su Lixiao, she took out the medicine from her body that strengthened the foundation and strengthened the body and gave it to Su Lixiao.

Su Lixiao's current body, except for the medicine that strengthens the body and strengthens the body, other medicines have no effect.

Mingxiu was not surprised when he saw the medicine in Xi Qingyan's hand. Instead, he boiled water for Xi Qingyan with his own hands.

"Mingxiu, are you a scholar?"

After Xi Qingyan settled down in Su Lixiao,

She saw the pile of books in the room and casually asked for an exit.

"..."

Because of Xi Qingyan's words, Mingxiu's actions of lighting the fire were halted.

"I'm not much of a scholar. Madam, have you ever seen any scholar who is as destitute and impoverished as I am?"

Ming Xiu's words were more self-deprecating than explanation.

"Has Madam seen the books I put there? In fact, those are just old books passed down from my father. I just put them there to think about them."

There is nothing strange about these words at first glance.

However, Xi Qingyan still realized that what Ming Xiu said was not true.

"Mingxiu, you must be a scholar, I won't get it wrong." Xi Qingyan said firmly.

"Although the clothes you are wearing are made of coarse linen and the stitching is rough enough, it can be seen that you sewed them yourself. But even though the clothes you are wearing are cheap, you always walk with your head held high and your gestures are polite.

, and your clothes are all neat and tidy."

A person's deep-seated temperament is not determined solely by what he wears.

As for Ming Xiu, who was boiling water, the temperament emanating from his bones told Xi Qingyan that he was a scholar through and through.

"You said those books were left to you by your father, and you just kept them as a reminder for yourself. However, there was no dust on those books, not every one of them."

In such a simple residence, every corner of the house was dusty, except for the books that were clean.

It can be seen from this that Ming Xiu Ding reads those books all the time.

Xi Qingyan glanced at it from a distance. The pile of books were all collections of classics and history, and they all talked about the gentleman's way of reimbursing the country.

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for Ming Xiu to be just a hunter in the mountains.

Moreover, Mingxiu's figure is not as rough as that of ordinary hunters.

"..."

Because of Xi Qingyan's words, Mingxiu looked at Xi Qingyan deeply.

"Madam, it seems that you are not the daughter of an ordinary family." Ming Xiu stood up, found a usable bowl and poured a cup of tea for Xi Qingyan.

"oh?"

Seeing Ming Xiu say this, Xi Qingyan raised the corners of her mouth.

"I'm Tangtu, my wife's appearance is probably first-class not only in Li County, but also in Kyoto. As for your husband, although he is seriously ill in bed now, I can still see it even though he is seriously ill in bed.

His magnanimity is extraordinary."

How could a couple with such good looks come from ordinary families?

"Master, are you judging people by their appearance? But in my opinion, ordinary people can produce decent-looking people."

Xi Qingyan retorted with a slight smile.

"Madam, I am not judging people by their appearance. Madam can tell from my actions that I am a scholar. Naturally, I can also tell from my actions that she is no ordinary person."

Mingxiu pushed the tea bowl in front of Xi Qingyan and explained with a smile.

Xi Qingyan's temperament is unique. At least Mingxiu has never seen anyone more outstanding than Xi Qingyan.

Jingchai's common clothes cannot be compared to the national beauty.

Such rhetoric is used to describe Xi Qingyan.

"In that case, Mingxiu has no worries in taking us in?"

Xi Qingyan saw that Mingxiu was a smart person, and most smart people would weigh the pros and cons. Today, Mingxiu's move of bringing them home was a bit risky.

"Madam, there are things that people in this world cannot do. Although I am a commoner, I know that I cannot ignore your life and death."

Some things must be done by someone.

Although Mingxiu's current situation does not allow him to benefit the world at the same time, he will try his best to be a useful person to the country and family within his own ability.

Xi Qingyan's eyebrows were a little more appreciative.

The scholar in front of her named Mingxiu is better than her in Beijing.

Many of the literati I know in the capital must have character.

Xi Qingyan saw in Ming Xiu the character that a scholar said he possessed.

"Mingxiu, you can actually walk out of the mountains. The court and the world need more scholars like you, so that this country can have hope."

Xi Qingyan made a sincere suggestion to Mingxiu.

A man with great ambitions like Ming Xiu should not be buried in such deep mountains and old forests. He should go to a wider world to display his ambitions and realize his ideals.

"Madam is joking..."

When Ming Xiu heard Xi Qingyan's words, his eyebrows became a little darker, and his whole person became a lot more depressed.

Sitting there like an eggplant battered by frost.
