Chapter 364 Falling in love with the male protagonist's "golden finger" 8
Mother Tian was startled when she heard this, and recalled carefully: "It seems like it has been four months?"
Shangguan Feiyun was born prematurely and has had poor health since childhood. She always has headaches and fever for a few days every month.
But after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Shangguan Feiyun had not seen a doctor for four months, and she had not even coughed on weekdays.
The doctor checked Shangguan Feiyun's pulse every month and said she was in good health.
"Xiu Ju, what exactly is this thing?" Madam Shangguan asked in a low voice. "Can those strange movements Feiyun does every day really help him stay healthy?"
Mother Tian shook her head: "I don't know."
Madam Shangguan thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out. Finally, she sighed and said, "Forget it. I'll make plans after I meet Taoist Dengyun tomorrow."
The next day, four carriages drove out from the side door of Shangguan's house and headed towards Qingfeng Temple.
Madam Shangguan and Lord Shangguan were deeply in love. There were no concubines or maids in the family, and all four children were born to Madam Shangguan.
Shangguan Feiyun has three older brothers. The eldest, Shangguan Xi, is very knowledgeable. He won the third place in the imperial examination at a young age and is currently serving as a bachelor of imperial studies.
Lord Shangguan was Emperor Qianqing's study companion and a trusted minister, while Madam Shangguan was Emperor Qianqing's sister-in-law.
Duke Cheng'en had no sons, and the late queen had only one biological sister, Lady Shangguan, to whom she had been very close since childhood.
The late empress and Emperor Qianqing were a young couple who had experienced many ups and downs and were known for their virtue. However, she died young due to illness and left no children, so she posed no threat to Emperor Qianqing.
Over time, the former queen became the cinnabar mole and white moonlight in Emperor Qianqing's heart, and he also doted on the Shangguan family.
Although Shangguan Xi did not hold a high official position, he was a close minister to the emperor. He was often brought by Emperor Qianqing for guidance and training, and was favored more than the four princes.
The second son, Shangguan Xuan, has loved wielding swords and guns since he was a child and is currently preparing for the martial arts examination.
Emperor Qianqing had already said that as long as Shangguan Xuan passed the military imperial examination, he would be allowed to join the Imperial Guard and become a fourth-rank commander.
In the original plot, when foreign enemies invaded, the original body and Gu Hongying set a trap and asked Shangguan Xuan to be responsible for escorting food and supplies. In the end, they put the hat of treason on Shangguan Xuan's head.
Shangguan Xuan was misled by the spies sent by Gu Hongying and died to prove his innocence, but was instead convicted of suicide out of fear of punishment, which provided an excuse for Gu Hongying and his original self to clean up the Shangguan family.
The third brother, Shangguan Hui, is four years older than Shangguan Feiyun. He is currently studying at the Imperial College and is preparing for the imperial examination next year.
This time, we went to Qingfeng Temple on purpose, on a day off. We had planned to go with the whole family, but Lord Shangguan and Shangguan Xi were temporarily called away by Emperor Qianqing, leaving only Shangguan Xuan and Shangguan Hui to accompany Madam Shangguan and Shangguan Feiyun.
Shangguan Xuan rode a tall horse in front to lead the way, while Shangguan Feiyun and Mrs. Shangguan took Mother Tian and Mother Qin and sat in the first carriage.
Shangguan Feiyun listened to the bustling sounds of the city outside and couldn't help but lift the curtain and look out through the gap.
"Sister Xiaojiu, it's so lively outside!" Shangguan Feiyun said to Su Jiu in her mind.
In fact, Su Jiu was not very interested in the ancient streets, but she did not discourage the child's enthusiasm. She looked through Shangguan Feiyun's eyes and gently explained to her what she saw.
For example...the girl who sold herself to bury her father at the city gate.
"Pfft!"
The frail little Baihua in white threw herself before Shangguan Xuan's horse's legs, weeping, "Master... please have mercy on me..."
At this time, the Shangguan family's motorcade was queuing up obediently at the city gate to leave the city. Shangguan Xuan became impatient and whispered a few words to his younger brother Shangguan Hui. He pulled the reins and walked forward, wanting to see what was going on. As a result, he was "scammed".
Shangguan Xuan hurriedly dismounted and pulled the horse away from Xiao Baihua, trying not to bump into her. Then he said in a rough voice, "What are you doing?"
The little white flower was stunned, as if she had not expected Shangguan Xuan's reaction. After coming to her senses, she posed again to show the most beautiful angle.
"Young Master..." Little White Flower looked at Shangguan Xuan with tears in her eyes, wanting to say something but not being able to.
"Bitch, I've already paid you, why don't you just follow me back!"
A burly man with a face full of flesh rushed over, grabbed Xiao Baihua's arm and lifted her up.
"No... I won't go back with you..." Little White Flower struggled while begging Shangguan Xuan for help, "Master, please save me..."
Before Shangguan Xuan could say anything, the man said viciously, "Boy, I've already bought this woman, so don't meddle in my business!"
Shangguan Xuan frowned and clamped the man's waving hand: "Don't touch me!"
Seeing this, Little White Flower threw herself at Shangguan Xuan's feet and cried miserably, "Sir, I have been dependent on my father since I was little, and our life has been very difficult. My father passed away a few days ago, and I had no money to bury him, so I had no choice but to sell myself to bury him. But I didn't expect that this bully would take a fancy to me. He threw ten taels of silver at me and wanted to force me to go home... wuwuwu..."
Not far away, Shangguan Feiyun heard the servant's words and couldn't help but feel sympathy: "Sister Xiaojiu, this girl is so pitiful!"
Su Jiu asked: "Why?"
"Ah?" Shangguan Feiyun was puzzled. "She knelt at the city gate to sell her body in order to bury her father, and ended up being spotted by a bully. Isn't that pitiful?"
Su Jiu patiently instructed: "Feiyun, look at that girl's hands."
Shangguan Feiyun looked through the curtain and saw the girl wiping her tears with her hands. At first glance, her fingers were slender, white and tender, with even knuckles.
At this moment, a beautiful young woman happened to pass by and gathered her hair with her fingers.
All ten fingers are red and swollen, the joints are thick, and there are many barbs.
"I understand!" Shangguan Feiyun screamed, scaring the other three people in the carriage.
Madam Shangguan asked with concern, "What's wrong?"
Shangguan Feiyun covered her mouth, shook her head, and looked out the car window again.
The other three looked at each other, all confused.
"Sister Xiaojiu, I get it!" Shangguan Feiyun said in her mind, "This girl said that she has been dependent on her father since she was a child and her life was difficult, but her fingers are very white and tender, they don't look like the hands of someone who works at all!"
Su Jiu was very satisfied with her answer: "Feiyun is really smart! Then look at that man again."
Shangguan Feiyun turned his gaze towards the bully, and suddenly saw the bully and the girl who sold herself to bury her father looking at each other.
That glance was very quick. If Shangguan Feiyun didn’t have outstanding eyesight, he might not have seen it!
"It turns out that they are in the same group!" Shangguan Feiyun concluded.
Su Jiu nodded: "So, this group of people should be setting up a trap to kill fat sheep."
The curious baby asked: "Sister Xiaojiu, what is a honey trap?"
Su Jiu explained: "Sinner trap is..."
Su Ji was teaching the children here, and Shangguan Xuan stared at the two people in front of him for a while, and suddenly smiled meaningfully.
