Chapter 17 Visiting the Sun Mansion
Chapter 17 Visiting Sun Mansion
Hu Xiaotian had a silver note in his hand, so he was determined to buy thousand-year-old ginseng as medicine, but after going to several medicine shops, he only found a three-hundred-year-old wild ginseng plant. The longer the year was gone. In desperation, he first prepared the prescription and immediately rushed back to the inn to decoct the medicine.
The effect of the three hundred years of ginseng is indeed very different. After a decoction, Li Xuan'er's face turned red and she slowly opened her eyes. Her eyes gradually became clear from confusion, and she clearly returned to reason. Hu Xiaotian let out a long sigh, God blessed him, and finally pulled Li Xuan'er back from the gate of hell. It is worth his wholehearted service for the past few days.
Li Xuan'er was seriously ill for several days and fell into a dying situation several times. Fortunately, Lihuo Dan and Bainian Mountain Ginseng were of extraordinary effect, allowing her to save her life. But after all, her vitality was severely damaged and she was extremely weak. After waking up, she wanted to struggle to sit up, but she tried several times but couldn't do it. She glared at Hu Xiaotian hatefully and whispered: "Idiot, why don't you come and help me?"
Hu Xiaotian shook his head and said, "Miss Li, you'd better lie down and rest. What should you do when you get up?" Having said that, he helped her sit up and thoughtfully put an extra bed blanket behind her waist.
As soon as Li Xuan'er sat up, she felt dizzy. She quickly closed her eyes and adjusted her breathing for a while. After the true energy in her body slowly flowed, she opened her eyes again. Looking at Hu Xiaotian's concerned expression, her heart warmed up and said in a low voice: "Mr. Hu, have I been dizzy for a long time? Where are we now?"
Hu Xiaotian said, "Miss Li, we have arrived in Luoyang and temporarily stayed in the inn. Since you woke up in time, you happened to contact your disciples of Baiyun Sect and let them help you heal your wounds."
Li Xuan'er was stunned and said in a daze: "Is this Luoyang?"
Hu Xiaotianqi said: "Aren't you coming to Luoyang? What's there to make a fuss about?"
Li Xuan'er's head buzzed, her shame and anger, and her pretty face turned red. Since the ancient temple fainted from the deserted mountains, it took at least six or seven days to go to Luoyang. For such a long time, who had wiped her body and changed her clothes and fed her medicine? She quickly touched the fabric of her clothes, and her heart became colder. Didn't her whole privacy be seen by him? For a woman, what is the difference between this and losing her chastity? How would she face Ning Wufan, the Sect Master Ning in the future?
Li Xuan'er was trembling all over, staring at Hu Xiaotian, and whispered: "Come here, I have something to ask you."
Hu Xiaotian moved closer and was about to ask her what was wrong, but suddenly his eyes flashed. With a slap, he was slapped heavily on his face, making him stagger backwards, his ear drums buzzing, and half of his cheeks were almost numb. If Li Xuan'er hadn't been severely injured and weak, this palm would have been enough to make his teeth loose. Hu Xiaotian would never have thought that she would suddenly take action, cover her cheek and cursed: "Little Fairy, are you crazy?"
Li Xuan'er's eyes were blasting fire, and two lines of tears suddenly burst out: "Hu Xiaotian, you despicable and obscene beast in clothes, what did you do when I was unconscious? Who changed my clothes? Do not look at it if you are not polite and do not move it if you are not polite? You ruined my chastity, which is a hundred times more abominable than killing me!" Although she is an evil demon and is proficient in charming skills, she actually remains virginity and has never exposed her body in front of a man. Hu Xiaotian wiped her body and changed her clothes, and naturally saw her whole body. In a sense, this is no different from losing her virginity.
Hu Xiaotian rubbed his cheeks and said embarrassedly: "Miss Li, you caught a cold and a fever in the ancient temple. You are in a serious condition and have been unconscious. I have the only way to do your diet and daily life. I swear, I have never had any evil thoughts!" God knows how hard he has worked and sad to serve Li Xuan'er these days! Fortunately, he has a ten thousand-year ice spirit in his arms to protect a Qingming Festival, otherwise he would have turned into a midnight demon wolf and swallowed this peerless flower and a belt in his belly.
Li Xuan'er said angrily: "There is a difference between men and women. Wouldn't you ask someone to take care of me? You are not meant to be a good intention, and you deserve to die!" When he was excited, he exclaimed blood and fell into a coma.
Hu Xiaotian hurriedly found a wet towel to wipe the blood, helped Li Xuan'er lie down and cover it with a quilt, and smiled bitterly. He wanted to get through the situation and get together, but Li Xuan'er reacted so quickly. When he woke up, he pursued such details, which made both sides fall into an embarrassing situation. But at that time he was anxious to help his life, he had to do this badly and do it himself. Of course, Li Xuan'er's shame and anger was understandable. After all, the two were neither husband and wife nor brother and sister, but
How could she accept the relationship between skin and blind date? She was most afraid that she would be unable to think about it for a moment, so she would take the initiative to meet Ning Wufan and confess her guilt. It would be terrible. Ning Wufan was known as the number one evil person, so how could she have never thought that Li Xuan'er had lost her virginity? Maybe she would kill Li Xuan'er with one palm first, and then kill him to kill him. She could only wait for Li Xuan'er to wake up and analyze the pros and cons with her, hoping that she would not make stupid actions like suicide.
Hu Xiaotian sat there for a while, suddenly heard a few "tuk" sounds, and a soft knock sounded from the door. He woke up in shock and said, "Who is outside the door?"
I heard a familiar voice saying, "Mr. Hu, I am Sun Yuan, the shopkeeper of Sun's pawnshop, and I have met the young master. I was entrusted by the head of the family to visit the young master."
Hu Xiaotian opened the door and saw Manager Sun standing in the door with a smile on his face, and was surrounded by a servant in green clothes holding a gift box. He took a step forward, closed the door with his backhand, and said in confusion: "Boss Manager Sun, are your head of the family and Mr. Hu old acquaintances?"
Sun Yuan smiled and said, "My master should have never seen the young master."
Hu Xiaotian wondered, "Then what's the point of being ordered to come here?"
Sun Yuan said: "Young Master, I am only responsible for sending messages in the middle. The head of the family dare not make any guesses. Before leaving, the head of the family specially asked me to hand over a gift and wait for the young master in the mansion. Please take a break for a while." As he said that, he waved his hand and signaled the servant in blue to present the gift box.
Hu Xiaotian thought of lightning, and after taking the gift box, he stuffed it into his arms, saying, "Since the head of your family sincerely invites you, I would rather obey my orders." The Sun family easily found his resting place. It was obviously a local snake in Luoyang, with a huge power, and it was inappropriate to refuse to be determined. It would be better to go and see what medicine the head of the Sun family sold in the gourd. If the soldiers came to block the generals, the water came to cover the soil.
Sun Yuan thought that this trip would be a lot of trouble, but he didn't want Hu Xiaotian to be so happy. He looked at him for a few more times and bowed, "Don't worry, Mr. Hu, my master has no malice. Please move, there is a carriage waiting outside the door."
The Sun family has a strong financial resources and is one of the most powerful families in the city. There is no need to mention the vastness and beauty of its mansion. Hu Xiaotian followed Sun Yuan into the side door, passed through the corridor and walked slowly. All things along the way were extraordinary. Sun Yuan secretly peeked at Hu Xiaotian, and saw that he looked calm and his eyes were as normal, and he did not lose his composure because of the magnificent mansion and the deep courtyard. He couldn't help but be amazed.
When he arrived at a reception room in the middle of the mansion, Sun Yuan asked Hu Xiaotian to sit down at the guest seat. After a while, another pretty and pure maid walked into the room, burned incense and sprinkled water, and served flower tea. Hu Xiaotian picked up the tea bowl and moistened his lips slightly. He heard the sound of pearls and jade, and the fragrant wind blew. A woman in a lilac tassel dress appeared, followed by two white maids. Hu Xiaotian was shocked. Could it be that the head of the Sun family was actually a woman?
Sun Yuan bowed deeply and said respectfully: "Young lady!"
The woman had a dignified appearance, generous demeanor, tall and plump figure, and her skin was as white as snow. Her eyes were shining brightly, and she showed a bit of majesty and a little shrewd in her gentleness. She was about twenty-six or seven years old, and she had a light makeup. The jewelry and jewelry she wore were all precious things, and she said softly: "Sun Yuan, thank you for your hard work."
Sun Yuan hurriedly said: "It is necessary to do some things for the young lady, and it is not hard."
The woman turned to Hu Xiaotianfu and bowed, and said with a slight smile: "Mr. Hu Wan'an. My husband is currently in charge of all things in the Sun Family in Luoyang on his behalf. He is barely considered a family member. My wife said that it is inconvenient for people to go out and is easily criticized and slandered. Therefore, I invite the young master to visit the mansion. If you have any presumptuous things, I hope to forgive me."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Madam, you are polite. As the saying goes, when you go out, you have multiple friends and multiple roads. The young actor is fortunate to have a relationship with the Sun family and has friends in Luoyang City."
Mrs. Sun smiled and sat down in the main seat, saying, "I think the young master is extraordinary and has clear eyebrows. He should be a gentleman with good knowledge and knowledge. I don't know where the young master is from? Are you visiting relatives and friends in Luoyang?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "The young student is from Lanzhou. This time I brought Neizi to Luoyang to visit relatives. Unexpectedly, Neizi got an emergency and needed a hundred-year-old mountain ginseng as medicine. As a result, in order to buy ginseng, we spent all our money and had to mortgage the jade pendant. Seriously, I have to thank the Sun family for giving me enough silver to buy medicinal materials to help my life."
Mrs. Sun's face changed slightly and asked with concern: "Is Mrs. Zun's illness very serious? I recognize an old doctor with excellent medical skills. Should I ask him to come to the hospital and take my pulse for Mrs. Zun?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Thank you for your kindness, my wife. Neizi's condition improved greatly after taking the prescription according to the prescription. There is no need to disturb others for the time being."
Mrs. Sun nodded and said, "Since Mrs. Zun is ill in bed, I will not waste my time. Actually, I invited the young master to meet me, just to ask if the young master will transfer the Caifeng Ruyi Jade Pendant to me? I am willing to pay 20,000 taels of silver to buy it."
Hu Xiaotian suddenly realized that she actually took a fancy to the jade pendant and wanted to turn mortgage into a sale, and took it for herself in a legitimate way! The preciousness and rareness of the jade pendant is second-hand. The key is that it represents Tang Xue's intention and a witness to the emotions between the two. How can it be sold to others? He said seriously: "Madam Sun, this jade is the token of the vows of our husband and wife when we got married. Jade has a price, but emotions are priceless. I was forced to mortgage it in Sun's pawn shop for a while. It must be redeemed within five days. I am sorry I cannot agree." After that, I took out the gift box in my arms and put it on the coffee table.
Mrs. Sun smiled and said, "Mr. Hu, I am very sincere in making this deal. If the master thinks that my bid is too low, what about 50,000 taels?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "My wife misunderstood the young student. I am a scholar, not a profit-seeking businessman, and it is definitely not because I am greedy for money and deliberately putting on airs. I solemnly declare that this jade is a token and has a great significance to me, even if I give it to me, I will not exchange it for gold and silver."
Mrs. Sun frowned and said, "Young Master really won't sell it?"
Hu Xiaotian decisively said: "Don't sell!"
Mrs. Sun sighed lightly, with a look of worry flashing in her eyes, and she smiled bitterly: "Since the young master has made up his mind, I can't force it. Sun Yuan, let me see you off for me!" She said that.
Hu Xiaotian stood up and bowed, saying, "Madam, I'll take my leave first."
Mrs. Sun's eyes swept over, her whole body trembled, and the tea bowl fell to the ground with a "clang" and smashed to pieces. Tea and tea splashed onto her skirt. "Madam!" The two maids exclaimed in a flash, rushed forward, and wiped and packed it up in a hurry. Mrs. Su seemed to not feel the hotness of the tea, staring at Hu Xiaotian in disbelief, her delicate body trembled, and two lines of tears burst out from her eyes.
Hu Xiaotian and Sun Yuan were both very surprised and could not guess why Mrs. Sun suddenly lost her composure. Hu Xiaotian coughed lightly and said to Sun Yuan: "Please ask Manager Sun to lead the way."
"Let's wait!"
Mrs. Sun cried out in a coquettish voice and said excitedly, "Please stay, I have something to say!" She raised her sleeves to wipe away the tears and said to Sun Yuan and others: "You all go out. I have something important to talk to you intimately. No one is allowed to get close to you without my permission." Sun Yuan and others responded, "Yes!" They bowed and left the door, leaving only the two of them alone. Hu Xiaotian faced Mrs. Sun's burning gaze, and couldn't help but get furrowed all over. Could it be that she could not buy it and actually wanted to use the beauty trick?
Mrs. Sun took two steps and whispered: "Mr. Hu, is this your first time to come to Luoyang?" Hu Xiaotian watched her every move vigilantly, for fear that she would suddenly rush over and entangle, and said: "It is indeed the first time that Xiaosheng has entered Luoyang City. Madam, please say something bluntly. We are lonely men and widows and women who have been together for too long, which may cause criticism." Mrs. Sun smiled sadly: "Have you ever seen my husband of my family, Sun Hao, the eldest son of Sun Hao?" Hu Xiaotian was puzzled: "Mrs.'s question is so strange. How could I have seen your husband? Does he have a shop in Lanzhou City?" Mrs. Sun bit her lower lip, and her eyes were filled with a cold arrow. She raised her hand and said coldly: "Since the young master does not admit that she has seen my husband, how could you wear my Sun family's black gold ring? Did you join forces with the thieves to murder him?!"
Hu Xiaotian lowered his head and saw that Mrs. Sun was pointing to a black ring on his left ring finger. The past suddenly flew across his mind like lightning. When he recalled the origin of the ring, he suddenly realized it and said in a lost voice: "It turns out that Mr. Sun is your husband!"
Four years ago, Hu Xiaotian had just achieved his martial arts skills and was allowed to travel around the world for the first time. He went to Songshan with his fellow disciples to attend the sword contest of the Seven Sword Sects. On the way, he stayed in Hengyang for a brief stop. During his time in Hengyang, he accidentally discovered that the local wealthy businessman Yu Chuyang sold female slaves and made huge profits. So he drew his sword in anger and joined forces with Yi Wufeng to destroy the Yu family. At that time, the wealthy businessman and the heroes of the martial arts world who participated in the transaction of female slaves were killed, including the fat and strong young master Sun. Before his death, he left his last words and asked him to bring the ring back to the Sun family in Kaifeng. In recent years, Hu Xiaotian was born and died and ran around, almost forgetting the matter, so he did not react at all when facing Mrs. Sun's questioning.
Mrs. Sun sneered: "The evidence is as strong as a mountain. Do you admit that you have seen him again?"
Hu Xiaotian sighed and asked, "Did your husband go to Hunan to purchase goods four years ago, but he never returned, and he has never heard of him since then?"
Mrs. Sun's delicate body shook lightly and her face turned pale: "Yes."
Hu Xiaotian said puzzledly: "I remember Young Master Sun once said that I asked me to bring this ancestral ring back to Kaifeng, why are you in Luoyang, Madam?"
Mrs. Sun said: "My Sun family is a big family. The Sun family's old house and ancestral hall are built in Kaifeng. The business in Luoyang is just a mess for the Sun family. My husband is the eldest grandson of the Sun family. He is deeply favored by the old master Sun and is also the head of the Sun family's generation. This black gold ring is the identity symbol of the head of the family. Just because his husband has been missing for many years, the position of the head of the family is empty. The brothers and uncles in the clan are fighting endlessly. Some people think I am annoying and troublesome, so they sent me to Luoyang to spend time. Mr. Hu, tell the truth, has my husband been in an accident?"
Hu Xiaotian said sadly: "Young Master Sun was killed and has died in the sea of fire. I hope Mrs. On the day of Lady, don't be too sad."
Although Mrs. Sun had a premonition, she still felt heartbroken when she heard the news of her husband's death with her own ears, and she covered her face and sobbed. She shed tears for a while and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Hu, who was my husband killed? Have you suffered torture before death?"
Hu Xiaotian was stunned. Strictly speaking, Young Master Sun was killed by the Demon Cult and died indirectly at the hands of Yi Wufeng. Should he tell the truth? He said slowly: "I wonder how much my wife knows about the gangs and sects in the world?"
Mrs. Su shook her head blankly: "I have only heard people talk about the Qinglong Society, the Beggars' Sect, Shaolin, Songshan Sword Sect, etc. The detailed situation is unknown. Could it be that my husband is involved in the revenge of the martial arts world?"
Hu Xiaotian sighed, "That's true. When the two masters of the Demon Cult and the Underworld were fighting in Hengyang, Master Sun was at the right time, but unfortunately he was silenced and died very unjustly. The young actor was able to avoid death because he met the Demon Cult master. Madam, those heroes of the world, who were walking on the eaves and walls, were as cruel as the ground, were ruthless and murderous. It would be very difficult to avenge Mr. Sun. If the wife doesn't believe it, she can ask someone for information about the Demon Cult and the Underworld in private. You must think twice about revenge." As she said that, she took off her black gold ring and handed it to Mrs. Sun. "This is the relics of Master Sun, please accept them."
Mrs. Sun stretched out two fingers as tender as water onions, gently picked up the ring and put it in her palms, closed her hands and placed it on her chest, her knees softened, and she knelt down, and she couldn't help crying loudly. After four years of longing and waiting, the last thing she had waited for was the bad news that the good man had left. Even though she was as strong and intelligent as her, she was still unbearable and sad.
At this moment, a fierce dispute suddenly broke out in the corridor, and soon approached the reception room. A sharp voice shouted: "You bunch of courageous slaves, do you want to stop the Fourth Master from catching the evil spirit? Li Xiuniang actually had a secret meeting with the lover in the mansion. She has violated the family law. Anyone who shelters her is punished!"
Mrs. Sun's face suddenly turned cold, she stood up suddenly, and shouted angrily: "Sun Haoxiang, aren't you afraid of retribution?"
