In the blink of an eye, more than half a month later, Lu Xiaoshu's eyes were fully healed, and it happened that the weather in early spring turned and was very warm, so Lu Xiaoshu refused to wait any longer and insisted on going to the capital.
These days, Zhou Shizhi had already arranged all the affairs of Zhuangzi, so naturally he wanted to accompany her to Beijing.
Xue Heng inevitably complained again, Lu Xiaoshu just pretended not to see his face. If this matter involves the Hou Mansion, people from Zhou Shizhi must come forward to investigate. She has limited ability alone, and Zhou Shizhi will never let his people accompany her. He walked with her by himself.
"When you arrive in the capital, young master, be careful! Although we have Qilin Villa as a backing cover, the capital is dangerous after all. Although no one in the capital has seen you, young master, your appearance is still somewhat similar to the prince. , it will be troublesome if it falls into the eyes of caring people."
Xue Heng urged earnestly, and after he finished speaking, he glanced at Lu Xiaoshu, as if he was blaming her for luring Zhou Shizhi to such a dangerous place.
"Don't worry, Second Uncle Xue," Zhou Shizhi smiled slightly, blinked his moist and cool eyes, and said lightly: "This day will come sooner or later, and the capital is a must-go place. Even if there is no such thing, I will I will also go to Beijing."
Qilin Villa is completely under control, and is conducting drills and various preparations according to his wishes, and the capital is also dispatching various people intermittently. It's time to start preparing for the blood debt of the Zhou family to get it back.
As the young master, can he just let his subordinates go to the capital to take risks, while he stays in the village instead? Then what qualifications does he have to be a descendant of the Zhou family, and what face does he have to say the word "revenge"
"The young master is right, don't worry, the young master is not a person without measure!" Although Du Zhong was also worried, he obviously knew what to do to be better for Zhou Shizhi, so he patted Xue Heng's shoulder comforted.
After Xue Heng thought about it, his expression softened a lot, and he said "Take care" and sent them out of the village with everyone.
A total of twenty people came to Beijing this time, Zhou Shizhi, Lu Xiaoshu, Lansi, and a dozen maids and servants, and the group dressed up as rich sons who went to the capital to do business and take a tour of the mountains and rivers. Xiao Zhu doesn't know martial arts, so Zhou Shizhi chose Du Juan and Hong E to serve beside Lu Xiaoshu.
After entering the capital, the carriage went straight to a courtyard at the end of Huaihua Hutong in Pinglefang, Nancheng.
The door is narrow, half-new and not old, just big enough to allow a carriage to enter and exit. Two pomegranates taller than a person are planted on the left and right of the door, and some roses, cannas, auspicious grasses, etc. are clustered around the roots of the pomegranates, which look too ordinary.
Entering the yard, you are faced with a screen wall, made of the most common granite, carved with a simple picture of a pine and crane forest. In front of the screen wall, there are seven or eight clay flowerpots, planted with small bonsai that are green all year round.
After getting out of the carriage and walking inside, I realized that the more I walked, the more spacious it became, and it turned out to be a big house with four or five courtyards. All the decorations are very neat and simple, without any extravagant decorations and gold and jade decorations.
Zhou Shizhi led Lu Xiaoshu all the way in, explaining as he walked: "This is the property of our Zhuangzi, and it has been owned for many years. We lived here during our stay in Beijing!"
Lu Xiaoshu nodded with a "hmm" and said with a smile, "Everything is up to your arrangement!"
Zhou Shizhi liked to hear these words, so he smiled and said, "You should live with me in Huaiyingxuan, so you can take care of me if you have anything to do."
While speaking, he had already walked into Huai Ying Xuan, Lu Xiaoshu saw that the yard was very spacious, and the left and right rooms looked clean and bright, so he pointed to the left room and said with a smile: "Then I will live here with Dujuan and Hongca!"
Zhou Shizhi wanted to give up the main house to her, but he guessed that she would not, so he didn't say any more, just smiled and nodded and said: "Go in later and have a look, if there is anything you want to change, what do you want?" Just let me know! Aunt Fu is in charge of this yard."
Lu Xiaoshu smiled and agreed.
After settling down that day, Lansi disappeared. Lu Xiaoshu knew that she must be secretly doing some things arranged by Zhou Shizhi, so he didn't ask too much. He only asked when Zhou Shizhi would take her to see Xiaoshu. uncle
"Don't worry, the Marquis of Martial Art has already sent people to guard the door secretly, we have to wait for him to leave the house for something, so we can go see him!" Zhou Shizhi comforted.
Lu Xiaoshu thought about it too, he couldn't just knock on the door of the Marquis's mansion in a big way. Where is the door of Hou Mansion so easy to knock open? In case of a mistake, that person is not Miao Chuhe, how will it end then
Thinking of this, Lu Xiaoshu couldn't help feeling a little bulging in his heart, he was worried about gains and losses, but he was not as calm as when he was still in Qilin Villa. Zhou Shizhi saw it funny in his eyes, but comforted her well.
Two days later, Zhou Shizhi received a report on this day, saying that the third master of the Hou's mansion had finally left the mansion and was wandering around Liulichang, probably to buy something.
Zhou Shizhi immediately took Lu Xiaoshu to Liulichang to rush over.
Lu Xiaoshu's heart beat uncontrollably in an instant, and his big watery eyes kept rolling.
After connecting with their own people, Lu Xiaoshu and Zhou Shizhi were about to enter the shop where Miao Chuhe was, when they heard a burst of cheerful and polite voices, looked up, and saw that the shop owner was smiling and personally delivering the When Miao Chuhe came out, he cupped his hands and bowed very respectfully.
Miao Chuhe also smiled back at him, and behind him were two servants dressed in green clothes and small caps.
Lu Xiaoshu's feet went "buzzing" in his head and almost went limp, but fortunately Zhou Shizhi held him steady so he didn't fall down.
The young man was tall and slender, with a refined and elegant demeanor. He was wearing a sapphire blue satin dark-pattern straight train and a cloud-like, almost transparent gauze dress. His green jade hairpin was tied up high, his eyebrows were clear and his eyes were gentle, and he was very familiar with people. When speaking, the corners of his lips were slightly raised with a slight smile.
Whether it's body shape, appearance or demeanor, who else is it if it's not Miao Chuhe
"Really, it's really little uncle..." Lu Xiaoshu leaned softly on Zhou Shizhi's body and said in a hoarse voice.
Zhou Shizhi's hand on her shoulders tightened, and he squeezed hard, as if to comfort, but also to remind.
Lu Xiaoshu really wanted to walk towards Miaochu River, but her legs felt weak and she found that she couldn't even walk a step; she wanted to call out to him, but her throat was congested again, and she couldn't make a sound at all!
Lu Xiaoshu was in a hurry when she saw Miao Chuhe walking towards her with the two servants holding the box in their hands, she couldn't help but her heart jumped, she was surprised and happy, and stared at Miao Chuhe with her beautiful eyes. Chuhe looked over, full of hope.
Miao Chuhe who was walking towards him froze slightly, hesitant in his steps, Lu Xiaoshu stared at him so blatantly, how could he not notice it
Two puzzled eyes looked towards Lu Xiaoshu, took a deep glance and then looked back. He walked straight past Lu Xiaoshu and Zhou Shizhi, his clothes were light and windy, and he never looked at her again.
Lu Xiaoshu's heart suddenly became icy cold from the pounding like a drum when he was getting closer and closer, and he didn't know her anymore!
"Little uncle, he—" Lu Xiaoshu's eyes were sour, and he was so wronged that he almost shed tears.
Since he disappeared, the whole family was heartbroken and heartbroken for him, and his mother and little aunt almost died, but he didn't expect that he would not know her when he was alive!
"Don't be sad," Zhou Shizhi took her to the side, patted her shoulder lightly, and said softly, "Are you sure you won't recognize the wrong person?"
"How is that possible!" Lu Xiaoshu hurriedly said, "Except for the fact that he doesn't recognize me, there is no difference at all!" Thinking of her little uncle who loved her the most in the past, and now that she doesn't know each other now, she felt a little bit of confusion in her heart. Very sad.
Then I thought about the news that Zhou Shizhi's people had inquired back earlier, saying that the third master of the Marquis of Wugong was the foster son brought back from other places by the master of Wugong. His name was An Yan. Very good, very talented, gentle and courteous to others, is a trusted confidant of Marquis Marquis...
Lu Xiaoshu sighed quietly: "Could it be that my little uncle climbed a high branch, not only changed his name, but also lost our relatives? What about my little aunt? And my poor little nephew... "
"Don't be in a hurry," Zhou Shizhi said, "Since we are here, we have to figure this out before we leave. Could it be that your little uncle fell off a cliff and was rescued by Marquis Wu Gong? Broken brain, don't remember anything?"
"You just broke your brain—yes, why didn't I think of it?" Lu Xiaoshu heard Zhou Shizhi's arrangement and his uncle was about to refute, but when he came back to his senses, he came to his senses and hurriedly said, "Maybe it's really That's it! He must have suffered a brain injury, so he doesn't know me!"
Although it was very possible that this was the case, Lu Xiaoshu became even more anxious, "What should I do! This is a terrible situation! If my little uncle can't remember us anymore, what should I do!"
"Things won't be so bad. Now that we have found him, I believe there will be hope in time." Zhou Shizhi said softly, "You are his relatives. He will definitely be touched when he sees you, and maybe he will remember you." gone."
Lu Xiaoshu said dejectedly: "It's a pity, if only my little aunt and nephew were here! No matter how much my little uncle loves me, they are the people he cares about the most!"
"No!" Zhou Shizhi's complexion changed slightly, and he hurriedly said: "How can your little aunt bear it when she sees him? Now your little uncle is nominally the adopted son of Marquis Wu Gong. I heard people say that Marquis Wu Gong is not that good. Those who are with each other must not act rashly, lest something will happen and it will be difficult to deal with."
Lu Xiaoshu's heart moved, he nodded and remained silent. What she thought was different from Zhou Shizhi, Marquis Wu Gong was an important minister of the court, she couldn't implicate Zhou Shizhi for her own selfishness.
"Let's go back first!" Zhou Shizhi said, "We have to stay in the capital for a while, and we will meet again. Next time, let's try to talk to him and see how he reacts." Zhou Shizhi He said with a smile, "Although he didn't recognize you today, his expression was a bit perplexed but not disgusting, which shows that he should be somewhat conscious."
"Really?" Lu Xiaoshu suddenly became happy again.
Zhou Shizhi smiled, "How could I lie to you!"
"It's true!" The two looked at each other, and Lu Xiaoshu's mood improved a lot.
