Cheng Shizhao looked at Zhou Xiaoxiao silently, his eyes were red, and he was silent for a while.
Xu Jiufang said: "Zigui is poisonous, and his life... is only in the twinkling of an eye."
The book in Zhou Xiaoxiao's hand snapped and fell to the ground.
"This time, our army has defeated the enemy army and won the class. Xingzhi has repeatedly made extraordinary achievements, beheaded the king of the southern barbarians, captured more than ten people from the royal family, and escorted them back to the dynasty with the army. We just wait for the king to offer prisoners and reward them for their merits. People's hearts are full of joy. Unexpectedly, Muxiu Yulin is envied by traitors."
Cheng Shizhao gritted his teeth, his face full of rage, like a fierce beast that would erupt at any time.
"The day before yesterday, I was very happy when I saw the capital approaching. Zigui came to my tent and saw a new dish of dim sum on a few tables. He said to himself that when he saw the dim sum, he thought of you, so he took a sip... Just that one, People can't do it anymore."
With force in his palm, he broke off the armrest of the wooden chair, and the broken mouth was sharp and plunged into the palm of his hand, especially without knowing it.
"We hurriedly sent him back to the capital, but the imperial physicians were helpless and could only delay the poison. They all said that he was hopeless. That was my doom, and he replaced me!"
The red blood quickly seeped out from between the fingers, and fell to the ground in big dots, converging into a beach.
"Where is Xingzhi now?" A voice sounded.
Cheng Shizhao stared blankly at the pool of red liquid, as if he had recovered from the fringe of mania.
He raised his head and saw that the woman across from him was still sitting firmly.
He laughed at himself, yes, when did this woman panic.
The so-called love between men and women in the world is nothing but this.
"You take me to see him, okay?" Zhou Xiaoxiao said, she stood up, suddenly her legs became weak, and she leaned forward.
Cheng Shizhao held her elbow.
She felt her body trembling slightly.
Cheng Shizhao's heart softened.
It turned out that she would also panic, and Zigui was not without any weight in her heart.
He was the first to comfort others in his life.
"Don't panic, the solitary king promised Zigui. If Zigui is okay, I will use the power of the palace to complete the marriage for the two of you. If he...you and I are brothers and sisters from now on, I will take care of you for the rest of your life. I will take care of you. I won't do anything rude to you. I swear to God here, Cheng Shizhao!"
"But I just want to see him now. Can you take me to the Guogong's mansion?" Zhou Xiaoxiao raised her face and looked at him.
Two lines of hot tears fell on her face, dripping on the back of Cheng Shizhao's hand. Cheng Shizhao felt that the skin on the back of his hand was burned.
He turned his face away, "You can't go. My aunt was angry and threatened that if there was something wrong with Zigui, you would be buried. If you lose again, how can I face Zigui. You can follow me back to the palace to avoid the limelight for a while."
Just as he was talking, the courtyard door suddenly opened wide, and Juanzi hurried in.
Behind her was the ashen-faced lady of the country.
Mrs. Guo strode to Zhou Xiaoxiao with anger in her eyes, and her facial muscles trembled uncontrollably.
Cheng Shizhao reached out and stopped, "Auntie!"
Mrs. Guo glared at him fiercely, and said in a hoarse voice, "Zhao'er, don't you know what's wrong?"
Cheng Shizhao lowered his head in shame: "Aunt, I'm sorry for my cousin. But..."
Mrs. Guo interrupted him with a flick of her sleeve, and stretched out a dead wood-like finger, pointing directly at Zhou Xiaoxiao, the corners of her mouth twitched, but she was speechless.
After a while, she retracted her fingers, clenched her fist tightly, closed her eyes, and took a deep breath. Just now he said with difficulty: "Xingzhi him... You must have known it. Now he is unconscious and his life is at stake. But he only vaguely calls your name."
She had tears in her eyes, her voice was hoarse, and she was beating her chest with her hands, "He only thinks about you. I am his mother, and for the sake of my son, I don't want my old face anymore! I'm here to invite you to meet him. On the last side, accompany him in this last period of time to fulfill his dying wish."
"Tell me whether you want it or not!" Her hands were tightly twisting the veil, and she was about to salute Zhou Xiaoxiao.
Zhou Xiaoxiao held her up, "Madam, don't be too polite, let's go now!"
Come to the gate of the government.
After getting off the carriage, Mrs. Guo grabbed Zhou Xiaoxiao's hand and walked quickly.
However, Zhou Xiaoxiao thought she was too slow, so she called Cheng Shizhao to lead the way, and the two of them started the light exercise technique.
…
Yu Xingzhi's bedroom at this moment.
The blue smoke is lingering, and the medicinal gas is strong.
On the big carved bed, inside the blue gauze curtain,
Yu Xingzhi was lying on his back, his eyes were closed, his face was pale, and he was unconscious.
Several old imperial physicians with white hair and beard gathered on the edge of the bed, twisting their beards, frowning, and sighing.
Several maids, frowning, holding medicine bowls, are carefully pouring medicine on him.
In the mouth of the medicine, there was no swallowing, and the brown medicinal juice flowed out along the corner of the mouth, and a little of it never entered the abdomen.
With a bang, the door was pushed open.
Cheng Shizhao and Zhou Xiaoxiao stepped into the room.
Zhou Xiaoxiao quickly grabbed to the bed.
Looking at Yu Xingzhi's pale face, her eyes trembled, and she felt that there were thousands of sharp knives, all chaotically stirring between her heart and lungs.
Zhou Xiaoxiao reached out and touched the Quanxian Moon God-like face, the tentacles were cold, and there was almost no smell of a living person.
"Several old worshippers." Zhou Xiaoxiao turned around and saluted the imperial physicians deeply, begging, "Xingzhi...is there really nothing he can do?"
One of the imperial physicians shook his head and said, "It's not because I don't want to do my best, but the medicine is so poisonous that it made General Yu's neck muscles stiff, making him unable to swallow the medicine. If the medicine does not enter, Hua Tuo will be helpless in his next life."
Zhou Xiaoxiao felt cold all over for a while, like falling into an icehouse.
Looking at Yu Xing's handsome face in a coma, she suddenly felt infinite grievances in her heart.
After a few steps, he slowly shook his head.
"Yu Xingzhi, Yu Xingzhi! You're a liar! I've been here since I wore it, and I didn't do anything, so I just ran after you everywhere. You said it yourself, you want to marry me, and I didn't force you! You Why did you put me down like this twice!"
She pointed that hand, almost in front of Yu Xingzhi.
"You ruthless guy, think about it! You are dead now, I married someone else, but you should not regret it!"
At that moment, Zhou Xiaoxiao felt that her eyes seemed to be blurred, and she felt that where her fingertips were, the fan-like eyelashes seemed to tremble.
Zhou Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment.
A maid next to him asked suspiciously, "Did the fifth master's eyes move?"
Zhou Xiaoxiao leaned down and stared at Yu Xingzhi's face carefully.
While gently touching his hair, he whispered in his ear: "Xingzhi? Xingzhi?"
Yu Xingzhi's face was like a frozen glacier, which remained unchanged for a long time.
Zhou Xiaoxiao looked back and said, "Give me the medicine."
The maid holding the medicine bowl was surprised: "Girl, you... who are you?"
Cheng Shizhao scolded in a low voice, "Give her the medicine!"
King Yan's prestige was very strong, and the maid shivered, not daring not to obey.
Zhou Xiaoxiao grabbed Yu Xingzhi's chin and squeezed the mouth with a little force on the fingertips. He took a sip of the medicine, kissed it with his lips, and fed into it.
At the same time, his left hand pressed his forehead, and his right hand raised his chin with two parallel fingers.
He went back and tapped the general platform, Shuiquan, Tiantu, and Xuanji several acupoints again and again.
He kept whispering in his mouth: "Xingzhi, be strong, swallow it, for me."
In full view.
Yu Xingzhi's Adam's apple slid up and down with difficulty.
There was a sound of inhalation and exclamation in the room.
Zhou Xiaoxiao concocted it according to the law and took another bite.
She looked at her with burning eyes.
"Xingzhi, be obedient, take another sip."
Everyone held their breaths, and finally saw the Adam's apple move again and swallowed the medicine.
There was cheers in the room.
The maids shook hands with each other and cried with joy.
Cheng Shizhao gave a high five: "Good job!"
Several imperial doctors smiled and said: "Fortunately, fortunately, as long as the medicine can be given, there is still a chance of salvation. The lady will continue to feed the medicine here, and I will discuss a new prescription later. Take it for the general."
Mrs. Guo came in a hurry with several young grandmothers.
As soon as he stepped in the door, he was bumping into Zhou Xiaoxiao leaning on Yu Xingzhi's body, and his lips and teeth met.
Frightened, several young women hurriedly stopped, their faces blushed, and they raised their sleeves to cover their eyes.
Guo Jingyan groaned and covered her eyes with a handkerchief, but couldn't help but sneak a peek between her fingers.
Mrs. Guo loved her son so much that she couldn't care less, she just kept asking questions.
The maid in the room hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "Madam is overjoyed, Fifth Master, he can take medicine."
Cheng Shizhao: "Auntie is overjoyed, the imperial doctor said that Zigui was saved."
Mrs. Guo only felt a roar in her ears and dizziness in front of her eyes.
She had already lost all her thoughts, but at this moment there was a burst of ecstasy in her heart. She grabbed the hand of Zhou Xiaoxiao who just got up and said, "Good girl, thanks to you."
Zhou Xiaoxiao returned to hold the pair of cold hands, only to feel that after going through a lot of ups and downs, her heart was filled with a kind of happiness for the rest of her life.
Mrs. Guo's eyes were red, and her hands trembled: "You are a good girl. I wanted to cross before. If you can save Xingzhi this time, I will definitely thank you."
"Madam, there is only one thing I want in my heart now." Zhou Xiaoxiao looked back at the person on the bed, "I just hope he is well."
Mrs. Guo's eyes filled with tears: "Okay, okay, as long as he can, as long as he can. As long as he can get better. I will depend on him for everything."
Huang Tingyu, who was following behind, moved in her heart, this little sister is not a simple person, and she is just right.
It's just that according to her mother's temperament, she was agitated at the moment, without a clue, and she might regret it later.
Because he stepped forward to support Mrs. Guo: "Mother, I'm afraid you can't bear the tossing of the day and night, so go back and rest for a while. I will leave Miss Zhou and her daughter-in-law here to take care of it, so that Xingzhi can rest in peace."
At the moment, Mrs. Guo only felt top-heavy and her legs were soft, so she couldn't support it. He asked Zhou Xiaoxiao carefully and left with everyone.
Zhou Xiaoxiao did not shirk, and took care of Yu Xingzhi in confusion.
By noon of the second day, Yu Xingzhi's complexion improved and his condition improved greatly.
Just still not awake.
Zhou Xiaoxiao was lying on the edge of the bed alone.
The noon sun shines through the window lattice and casts on Yu Xingzhi's bright moon-like face.
Zhou Xiaoxiao raised her hand and gently stroked his soft blue silk, thinking in her heart: He is so handsome, he is really unstoppable.
His thick eyelashes cast a beautiful shadow on his eyelids like a fan, his full and smooth forehead, and his two handsome eyebrows slightly frowned.
I'll give it a kiss. Zhou Xiaoxiao thought.
She tipped her head.
A soft kiss on the forehead.
He kissed again on the brow.
Another kiss in the eye socket...
Unstoppable tenderness, unstoppable kisses.
I saw the butterfly-like eyelashes trembling slightly, and the sultry-shaped eyes slowly opened, filled with a pool of autumn water, and only her shadow was reflected in the autumn water.
Yu Xingzhi looked at her, gave her a weak smile, and called out her name with a sigh-like tone.
"Xiaoxiao."
…
In the autumn of the 16th year of Jinyuan, Wang Shinan made great victories. The class teacher returned to court, and the king offered prisoners in front of him.
The Son of Heaven was overjoyed, he awarded all the sergeants, and was promoted to the title of Prince Cheng Shizhao, the sixth son of the emperor.
Yu Xingzhi, the fifth son of Duke Wei, was skilled in the art of warfare, good at riding and archery, and he first joined the sixth son of the emperor to attack the southern barbarians, and he was Xianzhong Colonel. Afterwards, he led six hundred light cavalry warriors, abandoned the army and attacked the enemy's rear, beheaded the king of the southern barbarians, and captured more than ten children of the royal family.
The enemy was defeated, and the two armies took advantage of the victory and attacked, smashing the southern barbarians, beheading more than 10,000 enemy people.
The emperor was pleased with him, and wanted to confer Duke Wei to be stationed in the country from the first rank, but the Duke refused to accept it. Therefore, the emperor sealed his son, saying: "Xianzhong Xingzhi, the commander of the school, beheaded the king of the southern barbarians, captured more than a thousand enemies, compared with the champion again, and sealed Xingzhi as the champion." The champion of the army, the emperor named him the champion Hou)
The three nobles of the father and son of the Duke's Mansion are loyal and fierce, and are favored by the emperor. They are the same as the ministers.
Recently, the slump of the day before yesterday has been swept away in the imperial mansion, and there is a state of jubilation.
The grandfather of the country returned to court in victory and was commended by the Son of Heaven.
Fifth Master Yu escaped from danger without fear of his life, and was awarded the title of Champion Marquis.
A three noble, very prominent.
Immediately, the congratulatory person stepped down the steps, and the door was like a city, and it was very lively.
However, Yu Xingzhi's courtyard was still quiet and relaxed.
First, because Yu Xingzhi was recovering from a serious illness and his constitution was weak, outsiders did not dare to disturb him.
Second, everyone in the mansion was also a little afraid to approach this small courtyard.
At this moment in front of Yu Xingzhi's bed, Zhou Xiaoxiao was feeding him a bowl of porridge.
Yu Xingzhi's throat was burned by the poison, it was difficult to swallow, and he had no appetite.
"Come on, have another bite." Zhou Xiaoxiao coaxed him in a low voice.
Yu Xingzhi shook his head gently, his voice low: "I really don't want to eat it."
"Just one bite, you take one bite, and I'll kiss you." Zhou Xiaoxiao tapped his nose.
Yu Xingzhi's face was full of Feixia: "Don't make a fool of yourself."
"If you don't eat, I'll kiss you a hundred times in one breath." Zhou Xiaoxiao bit her lower lip and smirked.
…
The prince's wife, Huang Tingyu, came to Yu Xingzhi's wing and saw Yu Xingzhi's two personal servants standing outside the door, scratching their ears and looking around.
"Two little monkeys, they don't take care of your fifth master, but they are stealing and playing tricks here. If your wife sees them, pay attention to your skin." Huang Tingyu scolded.
The two servants hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, winked and said, "It's not a little slacker, Miss Zhou is inside, and the fifth master won't let me wait inside."
Huang Tingyu pushed open the door and entered, only to see Zhou Xiaoxiao turn her head, her round eyes smiled at herself, and the bowl of porridge in her hand had just bottomed out.
Yu Xingzhi's face was flushed,
Zhou Xiaoxiao said with a smile: "Grandma is here."
Huang Tingyu was pleasantly surprised: "It's really getting better every day, I can eat a lot."
Yu Xingzhi choked and coughed repeatedly.
Zhou Xiaoxiao quickly followed Yu Xingzhi's breath and helped him lie down slowly.
Huang Tingyu was very emotional when she saw the two of them agreeing like this.
Sitting on an embroidered pier in front of the bed.
Holding Zhou Xiaoxiao's hand, he said, "You are such a good girl. Thanks to your troubles this time, our Yu family is very grateful."
Zhou Xiaoxiao lowered her head and smiled and said, "How can grandma be so polite to me today."
Huang Tingyu patted her hand gently: "It's a good thing that the two of you have a deep relationship. But there is one thing that I have to remind you as a sister-in-law, you don't have to blame me. Between the two of you, you need to be Remember, it can only be expressed in love, and only in rituals. Don't go beyond the norm."
Zhou Xiaoxiao stood up and saluted, "Grandma really loves me, how can I be that person who doesn't know what to do. I remember what grandma said, and I will listen to you."
Huang Tingyu said with a smile: "I knew you were a delicate girl, but it's just a simple explanation."
She got up to leave, walked to the door, and persuaded Zhou Xiaoxiao: "Don't send it away, and go back and take care of Xingzhi. If you have any troubles, you can come to find me, and I will do my best for you."
Huang Tingyu returned to her residence, and in the main hall sat King Yan Cheng Shizhao and her husband Yu Xingyong.
Cheng Shizhao saw her come in, got up and saluted, calling her sister-in-law.
Huang Tingyu turned sideways to avoid it and returned a salute.
Yu Xingyong, the prince of the country, sat on the top and asked, "The madam came from the fifth brother. How is the fifth brother today?"
Huang Tingyu smiled and said, "Husband don't have to worry, the fifth uncle looks good. Miss Zhou takes care of him very well. I just went to see her coaxing the fifth uncle to use a whole bowl of thin porridge."
Yu Xingyong nodded and said, "Heaven is pitiful to see, very fortunate, very fortunate."
Cheng Shizhao gritted his teeth and said, "Old Lin family husband! Dog father and son! If you don't take revenge, you will never be human!"
Yu Xingyong stopped him: "Your Highness, don't be impatient."
He winked at Huang Tingyu.
Huang Tingyu got up and said, "Your Highness, sit down, and I'll go to see my mother."
After seeing her go away, Yu Xingyong stepped down and said slowly: "Your Highness, don't be impatient. The East Palace is domineering and acts so insidious, how could His Majesty not know? My Yu Family and His Highness are blood relatives, breaking bones and connecting tendons. Your Majesty is here. Rewarding my mansion so much this time is already a sign of disgust with the prince."
Cheng Shizhao slammed the table with his fist, "I don't know, but this time it fell on Xingzhi twice, how can I bear it."
"Father is a loyal person." Yu Xingyong squinted his eyes, his eyes were cold, "I, Yu Xingyong, are not so easy to bully. If you dare to touch my fifth brother, I will let his whole family eat and walk around!"
Cheng Shizhao stretched out his hand, shook hands with Yu Xingyong, and whispered, "Brother, fuck your mother!"
Yu Xingyong leaned over, waved his parallel palm gently, and whispered, "Get rid of that old man Lin Yuanmao. Donggong is like losing his arms."
On the winter solstice of the year, Wang Hui, the imperial censor of the capital of Youqi, told "Mrs. Lin Yuanmaang, a senior scholar of the Wuying Palace and the young master of the prince, wished the prince a concubine and prayed together to make the prince emperor."
The emperor was furious, and ordered a kitchen car with Yuanmei to be slaughtered in the east. His wife and Xiao’s head were beheaded. His son Lin Bingren heard about it, and was afraid to flee into the wild. ①(Someone reported that Mrs. Lin Yuanmao and the crown princess cursed the emperor and wanted the crown prince to ascend the throne. The emperor found out and was furious. He ordered Lin Yuanmaang to patrol the streets in a kitchen car, beheaded in the waist, his wife beheaded, his son Lin Bingren escaped, and the crown princess was also arrested. detained.)
The crown prince was afraid, with bare feet in his hair, and entered the palace to lie on the emperor's knees, weeping bitterly.
At the moment in the government's mansion, the father-in-law, Yu Dunsu, and his wife are in the house of Mrs. Tai.
Mrs. Guo was very relieved when she heard that Lin Yuanmao was cut to the ground today, and spat on the ground.
"The villain has repeatedly harmed my Goro, and I deserve this, but it's a pity that he got rid of that little brat from his family."
Mrs. Tai nodded and said, "Our old Yu family has a vengeance that needs to be repaid, and a kindness that has to be repaid. Xiaoxiao saved Xingzhi's life twice. When will you delay their marriage?"
Mrs. Guo's face flushed, she coughed, her eyes dodged: "Goro is now a marquis, and marrying a merchant's daughter is a shame. According to his daughter-in-law's opinion, raising Xiaoxiao to be a concubine is a good thing. , Xiaoxiao is a reasonable person, presumably…”
"Bah, you are reasonable. You now think that you are the daughter of other merchants. When you married Goudan, did you also think that we were born in the mud leg of the old Yu family?"
Madam Guo blushed and stood up.
Yu Dunsu persuaded: "Mother. Shuxian, she doesn't mean that."
The old lady pointed at Grandpa Guo's nose and scolded, "All day Shuxian, Shuxian, when you became an official, there were many high-profile families who wanted to marry my family, but you caught a glimpse of the eldest lady of the Guo family at the temple fair. When I came back, I kept thinking about it, begging your mother, I will ask a matchmaker to talk it out."
Yu Dunsu blushed and pulled the corner of the old lady's shirt: "Mother, save face for your son, and mention how bad those scandals were back then."
The old lady spoke up, but ignored him.
"I also secretly went to see each other at the time, and I saw this Miss Guo, with a sharp face, a thin body, and a delicate appearance. I didn't like it at all. But so what? Thinking about the son of an official. , I'm begging so hard. I can't bear to see how uncomfortable you are. Didn't I follow you, against my will, and marry her back? Now that you are your own parents, you don't care whether your son lives or dies. Did you see that Xiao Wu had tied his life to Miss Zhou?"
Madam Guo was embarrassed, raised her sleeves to hide her face, and exited the room.
The old lady You Zi spat from the back: "Hmph, you deserve it, let you also taste the feeling of having a son who was pregnant in October and being swept away by that young girl's skirt."
Yu Dunsu persuaded: "Mother, don't be angry, I'll talk about her now."
The grandfather caught up with his wife and stroked her back.
He comforted: "Madam, don't be annoyed. Mother's words are a little rough, but it's just because I feel bad for this child."
Mrs. Guo stomped her feet and said, "Even you said the same thing. How can I not feel sorry for Goro. It's just that Ruo followed his temperament and married that Zhou Xiaoxiao. He will spend the rest of his life ridiculed. Even me, I don't know how to take it. What a face to go out to meet my life-long sisters."
Grandpa Guo: "Shu Xian, calm down and think about it. If there is no girl, let's not talk about the daughter-in-law, even the son will be gone. I think Xiao Wu has reached a place where she cannot extricate herself. , He has suffered so much again, we as parents, let him fulfill him once. A little face, don't worry. "
Mrs. Guo's thoughts turned and she remained silent.
…
In Yu Xingzhi's small courtyard isolated from the world, he could not experience so many ups and downs in the outside world.
Zhou Xiaoxiao was supporting Yu Xingzhi, who was wearing a fur coat, and slowly walked into the yard from inside the house.
"Go carefully, or I'll hug you?"
Yu Xingzhi supported the wall with one hand and shook his head, "It can still be supported."
Yu Tong, who was serving in the yard, quickly avoided it.
Before leaving, he brought it up to the courtyard gate very intelligently.
He has seen several times the terrifying scene of this undersized "prospective young grandmother" who easily took the fifth master out of the house to bask in the sun.
Very calm and composed.
Zhou Xiaoxiao helped Yu Xingzhi to walk under the plane tree, beside a reclining chair with a fur mattress.
Help him lie down gently and enjoy the warm sunshine in the morning.
He sat next to him, pinching his hands and feet.
Yu Xingzhi: "Just take a break, you don't need to be so busy."
"It's okay, and I'm not tired. You've been lying here for a long time. If you don't massage in time, the muscles of your hands and feet will easily atrophy. It's not good for recovery."
Zhou Xiaoxiao's massage was serious at first, but after a while, she became unruly, pinching here and there, causing Yu Xingzhi to laugh and avoid sideways.
"Still hiding? Still hiding? Where do I see you hiding?"
The two were laughing and joking for a while, and Zhou Xiaoxiao held down his body to prevent him from evading.
Yu Xingzhi turned his face to the side, lying there gasping for breath, only to see his jade face flying, his thin lips lightly parted, his eyelashes adorned with tears.
Zhou Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, and she slowly leaned down.
Yu Xingzhi watched her face get closer, his transparent eyes swayed slightly, and he looked up and down.
His heart was beating like a drum, and he couldn't help but say, "Don't make a fool of yourself."
The extravagant voice sounded in my ears, "How can I be fooling around, I didn't do anything."
Rulan's breath touched the skin.
The man was close at hand, but never bowed down.
She bit her teeth lightly, and stretched out the tip of her pink tongue to wet her red lips.
Yu Xingzhi stood up and wanted to touch those lips.
Who knows that person, but he is so mad.
She avoided it like a goblin, and still twisted triumphantly and said, "Xingzhi~~ Don't be fooling around."
Yu Xingzhi hugged her shoulders, and put the raindrop-like kiss on her forehead, hair tip, eyebrows, lips...
He hugged Zhou Xiaoxiao tightly, and while kissing lightly, he kept mumbling: "Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao..."
"I am here."
After the shower, Zhou Xiaoxiao lay on top of him, held his face, and pecked his slightly swollen lips.
Gently reach out and touch his hair.
"What's the matter with you?"
Yu Xingzhi closed his eyes and sighed.
"The moment I was poisoned, I thought I would die. I regret it very much. I regret that I followed the old ways. I didn't hug you one more time and kiss you one more time."
Two lines of clear tears flowed down the corners of his tightly closed eyes.
"I was in a coma that day, and I only felt numb all over my body, and my soul was helpless. I heard you say that I want to marry someone else. The pain in my heart was like a knife, and I had to wake up."
Zhou Xiaoxiao propped up her body and slowly kissed away his tears.
"It's okay, Xingzhi. From now on, I'll never leave your side. If you go to the battlefield, I'll accompany you. I don't want to see you hurt all over again."
…
Recently, one of the most lively rumors in the streets and alleys of Kyoto is that the newly crowned champion Hou actually married the wife of the proprietress of the December moon cake shop.
There are various rumors. It is said that the champion Hou was rescued by the wife of that week on the battlefield. He was grateful for his gratitude and asked for a marriage.
It is also said that Zhou Niangzi was like a fairy, and she was very seductive, which seduced the fifth master of Yu to disobey her parents, and she was privately set for life.
At the banquets of the ladies and ladies among the famous families, this matter was even more talked about and talked about with great relish.
It was because of that Yu Wulang, who used to be a handsome and talented young man who was famous in Kyoto. I don't know how many boudoir girls secretly promised him.
Today, this Pearl of Kyoto has been taken home by a lowly woman, which makes people sigh with embarrassment.
…
During the Kaiyuan season, Mrs. Wang Taiwei held a flower and auspicious meeting.
During the banquet, noble ladies from famous families came together.
Arriving in the garden, I saw a spiritual canal set up between the flowers, with gurgling water in it, and delicate boats drifting by on the water, filled with all kinds of food.
Everyone sits by the canal, and if they want to eat, they stretch out their hands to take it, which has a unique flavor.
Not long after, I saw Guo Jingyan, the fourth grandmother of the Guo Gongfu, coming with several female companions.
Guo Jingyan was delighted at the end of last year. Now that the confinement is not long, the face is like a full moon, and the pearl is round and jade-like.
One of the people in the seat is the daughter of Shao Zhan Shi of Zhan Shifu, who is currently married to the second son of Zuo Da Shi. The surname is Wang, and the boudoir name is Bihua. When he was in the boudoir, he had a little trouble with Guo Jingyan.
When Guo Jingyan was seated at the meeting, she teased, "A noble person like Fourth Grandma Yu wants to be a concubine with the bakery business. It's really pitiful. If it was a slave family, I would hardly have the face to come out to see you. people."
Guo Jingyan snorted, "My father-in-law is the most respectful and trustworthy person who values love and righteousness. Because my younger brother and sister gave up their lives and saved the fifth uncle's life. Our family is very grateful to her, and the father-in-law kissed her. Betrothal gifts, ask the matchmaker made by Prince Yan to ask him to marry him.
She glanced at Wang Bihua and said with a sneer, "It's not like some people have snobbish eyes on the top of their heads, they only care about calculating every day, marrying a daughter to climb a high door, marrying a daughter-in-law is only about dowry, and their eyes are going into copper eyes. I've gone inside. It's like a rundown house, and it can't even compare to that small family. Hahaha."
The Duke's mansion was powerful, and Guo Jingyan's vassals sneered in unison.
Wang Bihua's face turned blue and white, and threw the chopsticks on the ground.
Mrs. Xue, the mistress of the Taiwei's mansion, persuaded her to reconcile the situation before turning around.
On the other side, Lin Xingyue, the daughter of Zuocheng's family, was attached to the ear of Gongsun Yu, the eldest young lady of the Gongsun family, and whispered: "Your cousin, really married a commoner woman?"
Gongsun's jade eyebrows are like distant mountains, his eyes are like Danfeng, the cherry mouth is small, and the willow waist. A gentle and beautiful state.
Hearing this, his eyebrows slightly frowned, "But there is such a thing, it's just that the legendary cousin, I haven't met yet."
Lin Xingyue said: "No matter what kind of beauty, how can you be compared to you? Not to mention her status. Your cousin and uncle are too pedantic and rigid."
Gongsun Yu's expression was not hesitant, "Sister said carefully, marriage is the order of your parents. Why do you talk like this? Where is my name for my elder sister when she talks like this?"
Lin Xingyue hurriedly said: "I said the wrong thing, sister, please don't care about me. It's just me and the two of us talking about ourselves in private. It was previously rumored that the Duke's Mansion intends to marry in your family. Envy, but now it's such a situation, in my heart it's really not worth it for you."
Gongsun Yu stretched out his jade hand and reached for a plum blossom flowing down the Ling Canal.
She smiled lightly and said, "My elder sister is not me, but it is my pleasure. Although my cousin is a gentleman, he is not my favorite. I am truly fortunate. But who is that cousin, I don't know who I am. I'm also curious, but I can go there for a while."
…
On the second day, Guo Jingyan was restless in the house.
She was a new mother and had no experience with child care.
I saw this milk doll defecate and spit up for a while. It made her quite at a loss.
At this moment, the little ancestor was crying again and again.
Guo Jingyan put her head into the fight and waved her hand: "Go, go, go and bring the wind chimes that the woman made for the young master to play with."
So the maid found a small toy in the shape of an octagonal canopy, with colorful silk sashes hanging from the eight top corners, bells of various colors, and some colorful and delicate dolls.
Hanging it on the shaker, the canopy swivels gently, causing a melodious sound of wind chimes.
The young master was really attracted by the sound, blinked his eyes, looked at it, and spit out a bubble.
"It's not like crying anymore." Guo Jingyan let out a sigh of relief, "That woman makes my aunt get angry outside every day, so it's still useful in this regard."
Just as she was talking, Gongsun Yu slammed in, only to see her blushing, leaning against the table, clutching her chest with one hand and gasping for breath.
Guo Jingyan once thought that Gongsun Yusu would become a concubine with her, and she had always had a good relationship with her.
Seeing her come in like this, I muttered in my heart, could it be that I bumped into the woman Zhou Xiaoxiao
He asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Gongsun Yu raised his head, his face was blank, and he stuttered: "I... I just went to the fifth cousin's place to visit the new cousin."
Guo Jingyan: "What's wrong? Did she still bully you? You tell me, and I'll bring you to seek justice."
Gongsun Yu's face flushed: "We entered the yard, and the maid who led the way disappeared as soon as he slipped out. There was no one in the yard. When we turned to the backyard, we saw a strange young man playing there. gun."
Gongsun Yu's maid stomped her feet and said, "Fourth grandma has to decide for us. That disciple who met my young lady didn't know how to evade her, and even asked, where is the fairy-like little lady."
Guo Jingyan was stunned: "This... this is our family's new fifth grandmother, Zhou Xiaoxiao."
…
With great difficulty, Gongsun Yu was coaxed away.
At noon, the wife's house passed the meal.
Guo Jingyan brought the young master along with her.
Before entering the room, he heard his wife pointing at Qiaohe, the maid in Yu Xingzhi's room, and scolded him for a while.
"You useless little hoof, I told you to look at your fifth grandmother and forbid her to go out. Where did she go to have fun?"
Qiaohe said aggrievedly: "If you go back to the wife, the slave wants to look at the fifth grandmother, but she can't keep up with it. She turned over from the wall with this timid sound. If the fifth master is at home, she will still need Move her a ladder. How can a servant handle it?"
Guo Jingyan heard these words outside the window and said to herself, "That's all, I'll go back first and come back later." Since this woman entered the door, the house has not been at peace for a moment.
In the evening, Zhou Xiaoxiao happily returned to the house.
I saw the house was brightly lit, and there was a hot meal on the table.
Yu Xingzhi, wearing a splendid mink robe and holding a scroll, sat quietly at the table and waited for her.
Zhou Xiaoxiao sat down embarrassedly: "Thank you for waiting."
Yu Xingzhi put down the scroll, "It's okay, today was a good day."
Zhou Xiaoxiao said with a smile: "Everything is fine, I was playing guns in the courtyard in the morning, and I don't know where there is a beauty like a fairy. Her skin is so tender that I want to pinch it. It's a pity that she was so shy that she didn't speak. ran away."
Zhou Xiaoxiao recalled that she didn't talk to the beauty, she was very sorry, she shook her head, "Then I went to the shop to have a look. The business was very good. Xiaomei was very competent and well-organized. After a few tricks, let's go back and practice."
"As soon as I got back to the mansion, the old lady called me and said that she was looking for me, so I didn't have to go and say hello to the lady. Fortunately, I bought the old lady's favorite sweet-scented osmanthus candy on the way and made her happy. .It's only a while later that I'll be released."
Yu Xingzhi touched her head, "It's very good that you can be so generous. Now that I have a noble title, and the branch office is in sight, you have to be patient for a while."
