Lin Zhao returned to the main courtyard, and sure enough, he saw a group of people turned their backs on their backs in the courtyard. Mrs. Chu was carried back to the bedroom by Lin Huai, and Mrs. Bo stood under the verandah outside the door, all of them were terrified, especially Mrs. Hu was in cold sweat. , Seeing Lin Zhao approaching quickly, eyes dodging non-stop, standing restlessly, wishing to leave Lin's mansion immediately.
Lin Zhao glanced at her, and entered the inner room without asking any further questions. Mrs. Chu was lying on the couch, her face was like gold paper, her breathing was weak, and she was unconscious for a long time. Never had Lin Zhao seen Mrs. Chu so seriously ill since she was a child. However, I immediately felt a pain in my heart, "Mother—"
Lin Huai sighed heavily, and held onto Chu's hand tightly. The two young couples have been very close for many years. Chu had a heartache before, but he had never fallen to the ground so suddenly. Thinking of Hu's unreasonable behavior just now, Lin Huai almost began to regret the marriage, "Don't worry, when Uncle Cheng comes, he has already sent someone to invite you."
Can Lin Zhao not be in a hurry now, "The medicine that my mother usually prepared is available? Why did you fall to the ground and make such a fuss?"
Lin Huai sighed again, "The medicine has already been fed. As for today's matter, the Bo family wants to set the wedding date for you and Xian'er in Dongyue. Your mother and I feel that the time is too tight, so we plan to stick to the original plan." It is usually set next year, but Xianer's mother is not willing, and said that she will ask the official matchmaker to perform the bride's ceremony when she goes back. Whether we want it or not, we must first set the wedding date. Your mother was so angry that she fainted it's—"
Lin Zhao was dumbfounded. Marriage between the two families has always been discussed in an amicable manner. Even if the Bo family was in a hurry, they would not make such a fuss. What's more, they had originally agreed to get married next year, so why come to force them now
In Lin Zhao's eyes, the Bo family is also a scholarly and noble family. For a while, he couldn't imagine what kind of face Bo's mother used when she said this, but seeing the Chu family's dying appearance, he felt pain in his heart, and was afraid that something would happen to the Chu family. That's good.
Under the verandah outside the door, Bao Yixian and Bo Yixuan also arrived. With a pale face, Bao Yixian looked at Mrs. Hu and gritted her teeth, "Mother, what's going on? How could you make Aunt Lin faint?"
Last time, Mrs. Hu angered Mrs. Chu and made a fuss. Later, it was Bo Yixian who forced her to bring someone to bring a gift to her door. To save some troubles on the way, and to go out of the city to see each other off on the day of departure, can be regarded as giving Bo's face enough. It was precisely after seeing this scene that Bo Yixian thought of striking the engagement date while the iron was hot, but she never expected such a scene to happen.
Hu's complexion became paler, "I... I'm here for you, daughter, don't you want to get married early? But they don't want to, they still want to set the wedding date next year, so I said that when I go back, I will ask the official media to get your marriage The day is set, the day is set, and the Lin family still wants to recognize it? I... I was just talking like this, but she fell down in anger—”
There were still many servants of the Lin family guarding the yard, seeing Hu's remarks, they all turned their eyes to Bao Yixian, as if they didn't expect that it was Bo Yixian who was in a hurry to marry Lin.
Bao Yixian was anxious and angry, seeing Hu's being so unrestrained and blushing with shame, but compared to the embarrassment of rushing to marry, she was more worried about what happened to Chu's today, she knew in her heart that once Chu's really been killed Qi is seriously ill, not to mention that the wedding date is set in Dongyue, I am afraid that whether this marriage will survive or not is a problem.
Bao Yixian looked at Hu Shi with resentment, and felt that she had done more than fail, when she wanted to go inside the door, she was stopped by the servants of the Lin family, and the maid who took her looked at her coldly, "Miss Bo, pay attention to your identity. This is the bedroom of the master and wife. You can just wait outside."
In the past, the servants of the Lin family were quite respectful to her, even if they obstructed her, they were polite, never had she ever rebuked her so bluntly, Bao Yixian felt extremely humiliated, but in the current situation, she could only grit her teeth and endure it.
The Lin family is in the west of Changshoufang, and the Cheng family's new house is in the east of Changshoufang. Because of this, Cheng Yunzhi arrived after waiting for two sticks of incense. Delayed, he immediately brought Bo Ruoyou to the Lin Mansion, and only after entering the main courtyard did he know that both the eldest and second house of Bo's family were here.
Bao Yixian didn't expect that the doctor the Lin family invited was Cheng Yunzhi. She hated and was jealous at the moment, but hoped that Cheng Yunzhi would cure the Chu family so that there would be no trouble. When Bo Ruoyou saw them, and saw that all the servants in the courtyard were indifferent to them, he already guessed three points in his heart.
Cheng Yunzhi nodded to Bo Jingli, and led Bo Ruoyou into the door.
They can't enter this door, but Cheng Yun's father and daughter can pass through without hindrance. Bao Yixian's heart aches, and she feels that this door separates her and Lin Zhao, but it puts Bo Ruoyou and Lin Zhao together. Lu was restless and impatiently paced back and forth.
When Lin Huai saw Cheng Yunzhi in the room, he seemed to see a life-saving straw, "Yunzhi, save Shuning—"
Lin Huai's voice was trembling, and when he looked at Lin Zhao again, his eyes were red with anxiety, "Uncle Cheng, save mother—"
Cheng Yunshang came up, and started to ask for pulse without saying anything. Just a few moments after his fingertips touched the pulse gate, his brows also frowned. Seeing his expression, Lin Huai and his heart skipped a beat. Lin Huai said: " how?"
Cheng Yunzhi calmly said: "The pulse is stringy and deep, maybe it's a hidden disease caused by a blocked and damaged heart. It was aroused after being frightened and angry today. Does she have palpitations, palpitations, shortness of breath, and colic pain in her heart? "
When Lin Huai heard this, he nodded hurriedly, "Yes, there was an attack a few days ago, but it was not so serious, and it will be cured after a few days of recuperation with some decoction."
Cheng Yunzhi nodded, "That's it. The pulse is a bit bad right now. I'll prescribe a life-saving prescription. First, I will boil a soup and feed it to her. Then I will give her an injection. Will she wake up? Two points depends on God's will."
Lin Huai swayed, and immediately ordered someone to bring a pen and paper, Cheng Yunzhi wrote a prescription in a few breaths, and Lin Huai ordered someone to boil the medicine, luckily the medicine used was prepared at home.
At this moment, Cheng Yunzhi opened the medical box he was carrying, asked Bo Ruoyou to take out the silver needle and wipe it with strong wine, while continuing to ask about his pulse and breath, and asked about Chu Shuning's usual discomfort, and soon the soup boiled When it was delivered, Cheng Yunzhi ordered Lin Huai to feed it to Chu Shuning, and then gave her an injection.
During this period, Chu Shuning woke up for a while, but she was unconscious. Cheng Yunzhi breathed a sigh of relief, "If I can wake up, I will be saved. I will perform the acupuncture for at least an hour. You can go outside and wait."
Lin Huai didn't care about this at all, but suddenly remembered that the Bo family was still outside. As a man, he had been patient with the Hu family a lot earlier, but now that Chu Shuning was so ill, he didn't care about etiquette anymore. Walked out of the bedroom and called the butler: "The Bo family is still there?"
"My lord, I've been waiting outside."
Lin Huai sneered shortly, "Let them go back home, now that Madam is seriously ill, she can't entertain them anymore."
The butler left in response, and soon there was a burst of fierce talking outside the house, but Lin Huai had already made this order, so the butler naturally didn't let go, and after a few more arguments, the Bo family left in despair.
Both Cheng Yunzhi and Bo Ruoyou heard this in the room, but they both looked calm and didn't ask any more questions. Lin Huai turned and came in, looked at Cheng Yunzhi, then at Bo Ruoyou, sighed deeply, and Lin Zhao was also uncomfortable .
As expected, it took an hour to apply the needles this time. After Cheng Yun put the needles in, Chu Shuning finally woke up after waiting for a while. He and his son immediately turned red, and Lin Huai stepped forward to hold her hand, and only then did she see Cheng Yunzhi and Bo Ruoyou.
Cheng Yunzhi saw that the person woke up, and his heart was settled, "You have saved your life, but this disease should not be underestimated. Fortunately, you are still young. If you fall like this in a few years, it may be difficult to save. Today Afterwards, take good care of yourself and avoid getting angry."
Chu Shuning thanked her naturally, and they stayed with her for a while. After taking the soup once, Chu Shuning fell asleep again. Then Lin Huai took Cheng Yunzhi and Bao Ruoyou out to sit down. When the servants served tea, Lin Huai sighed bitterly "I won't hide it from you, Shuning was angry at Yixian's mother today, and for no other reason than for the wedding date, they want to get married in Dongyue—"
Bo Ruoyou frowned while drinking tea, and Cheng Yunzhi's face remained calm when he heard the words, "I said at the beginning that you have made a choice, and you have to bear the result. Mrs. Bo...you always know the details."
Lin Huai's smile became more and more bitter. At this time, his eyes fell on Bo Ruoyou, and he felt that she was quiet and obedient. He looked back, "Maybe I was wrong back then, with one wrong step, one wrong step, and today I almost killed Shuning." , but no wonder others."
Cheng Yunzhi didn't answer much, and seemed to agree with this statement. Lin Huai couldn't hold back, and asked about their new house. Cheng Yunzhi answered simply. Seeing that it was getting late outside, he wanted to leave. Lin Huai still wanted to keep them for dinner. But Chu Shuning was seriously ill, so he still declined Lin Huai's offer.
Lin Huai felt a little ashamed, Cheng Yunzhi talked to him and came to visit the doctor the next day, their father and son personally sent Cheng Yunzhi's father and daughter out, and watched their carriage leave, Lin Huai sighed heavily again.
Lin Zhao was listening, thinking about Bo Ruoyou's passing through the house today, he hardly said a word, and he missed his mother in his heart, and he didn't care about it, but what Lin Huai and Cheng Yunzhi said just now seemed to be something old. He hesitated for a moment and didn't ask any more questions. Thinking that Cheng Yunzhi would come to see his mother for several days in a row, he felt a little relieved in his heart.
On the carriage back home, Cheng Yunzhi also sighed a little, "I'm afraid the Bo family is impatient. This time they are convicted, and their family is in the first place, and Lin Huai is about to be promoted. Most of them are worried that the Lin family will go back on their marriage."
He snorted mockingly, "After all, it's a guilty conscience. This marriage has been circulating in the capital for many years. As long as they wait patiently, the higher Lin Huai's position, the less likely he will regret the marriage. Today's trouble , how to plan this marriage is really unknown."
Bo Ruoyou didn't expect that the Lin family would become like this, but she didn't care about Lin Zhao and Bo Yixian's marriage, and instead asked about Chu Shuning's illness, Cheng Yunzhi explained it to her in detail, and after a while he said: "I'm afraid that the Bo family is also in a state of panic now, but if they say that the marriage is over, they probably won't let it go. In the future, when the adoptive father visits the Lin family, you don't have to follow him."
Cheng Yunzhi was afraid that she would run into the Bo family and make trouble, so Bo Ruoyou agreed.
Early the next morning, when Cheng Yunzhi arrived at Lin's house, he did not bring Bo Ruoyou with him. When Lin Zhao came out to greet him, he looked into the carriage twice, convinced that only Cheng Yun came, but he was a little disappointed.
After entering the bedroom of the main courtyard, Chu Shuning had already woken up and was using decoction. After Cheng Yunzhi asked her pulse, he gave her an injection for an hour, and the needle was not given until the sun was high. At this time, the housekeeper came to report, and the Bo family came people.
Bo Yixian brought Hu and Bo Yixuan to the door to apologize.
When Lin Huai heard this, she immediately refused, "No, let them go back. Madam is still ill, and she will not be seen every day before her illness recovers. The door of the Lin Mansion is not open to anyone who wants to enter. "
The butler naturally went out to chase away people, and Chu Shuning asked, "Why don't you see Youyou coming?"
Cheng Yunzhi said gently: "The case in the yamen has not yet been settled. She went to the yamen to answer the bill today. Knowing that your illness is stable for the time being, she will visit you with me some other day."
Chu Shuning sighed, "Youyou is a good boy."
She looked hesitant to speak, but Cheng Yunzhi didn't answer the words, and instead told him about his recovery. Both Lin Huai and Chu Shuning saw that he was shy, so naturally they didn't want to say much, and they waited for Cheng Yunzhi to leave in the afternoon. Chu Shuning sighed.
Lin Zhao thought she was still angry, so he naturally spoke to comfort her. Chu Shuning looked at him hesitantly, "Zhaoer, mother is not a person who dislikes the poor and loves the rich. Marriage, and indeed thinking about you and your father's official career, this is beyond reproach, Bo's unreasonable, do you understand?"
Lin Zhao later asked about the cause and effect of yesterday, and he had his own balance of right and wrong in his heart, "Mother, I understand."
Chu Shuning caressed her heart, "I used to think that Yixian was a good person, and the marriage was settled early. Your father and I both treated her as your unmarried wife, but now my mother thinks that this marriage is not good, especially That mother of hers is really not a good friend, you and your father are officials in the same dynasty, and people are jealous, if the in-laws in the future don't behave themselves, won't it hinder your future?"
Lin Zhao pondered for a moment, "But is it still possible to regret the marriage now? This marriage has been settled for many years, and everyone in the capital knows it. If you regret the marriage now, Lin's will break his faith, and Bo's will be worse. A woman, it will also damage her reputation."
Although he spoke rationally, his voice was quite difficult, which showed that he was holding back dissatisfaction in his heart. Chu Shuning suddenly asked: "Zhaoer, do you care about Yixian?"
Hearing this, Lin Zhao showed no emotion on his face, and said sincerely, "This is a marriage arranged by my mother and father, and I naturally like it."
Chu Shuning was taken aback by this remark, looking at Lin Zhao's dark eyes, she felt more and more distressed for him, "You don't know... back then..."
Chu Shuning looked at Lin Huai hesitantly, but Lin Huai didn't answer, so she had no choice but to swallow the words, and covered her heart with one hand, showing pain, "It's all your fault and your father's fault. You shouldn't be trying to save face. With the current disturbance, even now, it's hard for your father and I to say the word "repentant marriage", but when you think about it, you will be troubled like this in the future, and maybe your family will have no peace. Mother can't accept this marriage willingly."
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was difficult for her to communicate with each other. Seeing this, Lin Huai hurriedly persuaded him and comforted him for a long time before Chu Shuning closed his eyes and lay down. Retire first.
After backing out, the young man beside him hurried up to him and said in a low voice: "Young master, Mr. Bo and Miss are waiting outside the side door, asking you to meet—"
Lin Zhao frowned, and after thinking about it, he still walked towards the side door. As soon as he went out, he saw the Bo brothers and sisters standing in the quiet alley. They both showed surprise when they saw him, and Bo Yixian walked up quickly. Before him, his eyes were flushed, "Brother Zhao, how is Auntie doing?"
Lin Zhao looked at her with a gloomy feeling in his heart, but he still maintained his politeness on his face, "It's better."
Bao Yixian blinked, and tears fell, "Brother Zhao, it's all my mother's fault. My father was convicted, and my mother was very flustered. I was afraid that you would despise us, so I was anxious. I know that we have sinned a lot this time. Well, right now my aunt doesn't want to see us, so we won't come here to make trouble, and if I treat my aunt better, we'll come back to make amends."
Lin Zhao took a deep breath, "Why are you suddenly in a hurry to move forward the date of marriage?" He gritted his teeth, and finally couldn't help showing a bit of blame, "It was originally said that next year, my parents don't want to move forward, so we can discuss it, Auntie Why can you say such unreasonable words, how is this the behavior that a family of poetry and etiquette should have?"
Lin Zhao said again: "I heard from my servant that what your mother said is that you want to get married early?"
This remark made Bao Yixian's face flush instantly, and her eyes trembled slightly, "I...Brother Zhao, I'm also afraid, you don't understand, after my father was convicted, how many people in the capital talked about us, even the county children were as young as me Now that I have a relationship, I... "
She raised her eyes to look at Lin Zhao, with tears streaming down her cheeks, "We have been engaged for several years, Brother Zhao also understands my thoughts, it is so long-term that I didn't think, I thought Brother Zhao would like to get married earlier, that's why I decided Never stopped mother... "
Seeing her crying so sadly, no matter how much Lin Zhao blamed her, it would not be good for her as a weak woman. Thinking of the two families' definite relationship for many years, if nothing happened to the Bo family, it would be a good talk in the eyes of everyone in the capital. Xiaopi treated him with great care, and he could see that, but now that the Bo family is in such a situation, it is understandable for her to want to find someone to rely on when the family is in crisis.
Lin Zhao suppressed the bitterness in his throat, "Mother is currently bedridden to recuperate from illness, and I will take care of her illness in the near future, so you don't have to come to the door every day, and the rest of the matter will be discussed after mother is well, go back to the house."
After Lin Zhao finished speaking, she turned and entered the gate of the mansion. Bao Yixian watched his back disappear with tears in her eyes, and then raised her hand to wipe away her tears. Looking at it from the sidelines, he somehow felt a little strange, he accompanied her to apologize, seeing her crying before made people feel that she was so regretful that she should not persecute Mrs Lin, but at this moment, he felt that Bao Yixian was not as good as he imagined among the self-blame.
Chu's illness did not happen overnight, and it was not easy to recuperate. When Cheng Yunzhi came on the third day, he still came alone, and Lin Zhao asked for leave in the mansion to serve the illness, so he was still there to receive Cheng Yunzhi. After seeing the doctor that day, he sent Cheng Yunzhi away. , Lin Zhao sat in Chu's room and started to startle. Chu saw it and felt even more distressed.
That night, when Lin Huai returned home, the family talked together for a while. Seeing that Lin Zhao was tired, Lin Huai told him to go and rest first. Mrs. Chu took the last decoction of the day.
In the inner room, seeing Lin Zhao leaving, Chu Shuning said with tears in her eyelashes: "Lin Huai, how good this is, Zhao'er doesn't seem to have any real love for Yixian, but he has accepted this marriage contract since he was a child. I just want to obey my parents' orders, but you and I chose such a marriage for him, why don't you harm him in the future—"
Lin Huai remained silent, and she seemed to have aged by two points in a few days. Chu Shuning sighed, "I regret it a bit. If Yunzhi had just returned to Beijing, we would have changed the marriage back then, wouldn't it be a little So much entanglement?"
Chu Shuning recalled, "Although Zhao'er didn't grow up with Youyou since childhood, I saw that he was quite enthusiastic about Youyou, at least he loved this younger sister, and Youyou's temperament is also more pure than Yixian."
"Yi Xian knew what happened to the marriage back then. She was in a hurry to get married this time, and she was probably just like her mother who was afraid that something would happen. If I had known this, you and I shouldn't have exchanged marriages. Being engaged to Youyou, even if we can't wait to change to a girl from another family, it's better than getting involved with the eldest son of the Bo family."
Lin Huai sighed, "It's too late to say these things now. Yunzhi said that he would never pursue this matter again, so he really did not pursue it. You have also seen that now we are having trouble with Mrs. Bo's family. He To say nothing, is to stay out of it."
Thinking of this, Chu Shuning felt regretful and heartbroken. She was about to raise her hand to wipe her tears, but she saw the shadow falling on the ground from outside the door of the inner room. She was startled, and hurriedly asked, "Who is outside?!"
Footsteps sounded, and soon, Lin Zhao walked in with a surprised face holding a bowl of soup medicine. Lin Huai and Chu Shuning's expressions changed slightly, and then Lin Zhao asked in a difficult voice: "You just said, how did you get along with me back then? The betrothed person is originally Ruoyou's younger sister?"
…
On the fifth day when Bo Ruoyou went to the yamen consecutively, Liu Yao's case was finally settled. Although she did not need an autopsy, she helped the civil servants sort out the documents and files, and she was very busy all day long. She gave her the evidence to transcribe, sighed and slumped down on the open chair at the side, "It can be considered that all the witnesses and evidences have been found. After two days, I will go to court, and then I can be convicted. This case is over. Let's Take a good rest."
The other civil servants followed suit, but Bo Ruoyou didn't speak. She wrote very well in lower script, and the dossiers copied by her always looked extraordinarily neat and orderly. Wu Xiang's eyes fell on her, and he sighed helplessly. .
He could see that Bo Ruoyou was deliberately looking for something to do for him. Thinking of the rumors in the capital these days, he felt sorry for this little girl.
Liu Heng's confession of murdering Liu Yao came out very quickly, but a lot of evidence is still needed for the case to be finalized in court.
As Bo Ruoyou expected, after Liu Yao was confined to Shuiyue Nunnery, Liu Heng did go to Shuiyue Nunnery more than once. At the end of February, early April, and early June, Liu Heng used different excuses to go there The method used by Shuiyue Temple is to let the servants pretend to be themselves and act as servants by themselves.
These two times in February and April, he knew early in the morning that there was no one in Shuiyue nunnery for two days, so he went to the Hualou by Weiyang Lake, booked two guest rooms for two nights, and ordered the servant Staying in the building, he rode his horse out of the city to meet Liu Yao, and later went there with Liu Xu again, all to appease Liu Yao.
After the decline of the Liu family, family property disputes became the most important thing. Mr. Liu was unwilling. As a son, Liu Heng naturally wanted to help his father to cover up Chen Cang. Liu Yao, who had an affair with Liu Heng, knew about it. Naturally, it became Liu Heng's worry.
The fact that Liu Yao was expelled from the genealogy seems to be a secret in the mansion, but it was arranged by Liu Sanye two years ago for the New Year's Eve Sacrifice. He held the keys in the ancestral hall. After investigating, I found out about Liu Yao's life experience, he has such a naughty temperament, at first he just wanted to play tricks on Liu Yao, but later on he actually became a little bit emotional.
He never thought about the result with Liu Yao, but he never expected that Liu Yao was pregnant, he dared not make a fuss about it, and fortunately Liu Yao never confessed him because of his sincerity, but the matter came to a later date , it seems that there is no turning point, until the beginning of August, he only wanted to visit Liu Yao again, but he didn't want to have a dispute that day, and he felt murderous in anger.
After the incident, he lived in fear and was tortured. For this reason, he became addicted to the drug of gold ointment. He thought that if Liu Yao died, the matter would be settled, but he didn't want the yamen to find out the truth.
Wu Xiang ran to the bank of Weiyang Lake many times in the past two days. It was the gold-selling cave of the nobles in the capital, and it was naturally the place where rumors flourished. The scariest rumor Wu Xiang heard was that Marquis Wu Zhao was buried in the southwest. The secret did not say anything, just because he was afraid of causing shock in the government and the public, but in fact Wu Zhaohou's body was already on the road, and the court would think of a non-controversial excuse to mourn him when he returned to the capital—
When hearing this spread, Wu Xiang couldn't help shivering.
He couldn't even imagine that the Huo Wei Building was in the northwest.
"Xiao Bo—" Wu Xiang suddenly said, "Liu Heng said that he didn't premeditate, do you think it is credible?"
Only then did Bo Ruoyou raise her eyes, she nodded and said, "It's believable, before the nuns tidied up the house, there were signs of disputes, if he had premeditated, at least this should have occurred, he killed Liu Yao after the dispute , and then fleeing in fear is reasonable.”
After Bo Ruoyou finished speaking, she lowered her eyes to copy the dossier. Wu Xiang sighed and didn't say any more. After the copy was finished, the sun had already set to the west. Bo Ruoyou straightened up and looked out, feeling suffocated again. The day is coming again.
She handed the dossier to the clerks at the side, and saw that it was not early before leaving the yamen, the setting sun shed a layer of golden afterglow, and the wind rushing into the carriage was cold, counting the days, it was actually the last day at the end of August , Once it enters September, the weather becomes extremely cold.
When she thought of Huo Weilou who was still wearing single clothes when he left Beijing, she couldn't help but feel her throat tightening. It was rumored that Huo Weilou had died in the southwest, but how could it be possible? He is a figure with hands and eyes open to the sky, he is only twenty and three years old, and he will never die quietly. She took a deep breath, and the fingertips in her sleeves trembled slightly.
Bo Ruoyou ordered the carriage to drive to Marquis Wuzhao's mansion, and when she got outside the gate of the Marquis' mansion, she saw that the gate of the mansion was closed tightly, as if the master had traveled far away and never returned. She looked at it for a while, but did not get out of the carriage to enter the mansion, if there was any news When it came back, even if she didn't ask, Eunuch Fu would let her know.
Looking at the closed door, Bo Ruoyou was afraid for a moment that the door would never be opened.
Guifu had dinner with Cheng Yunzhi, and Bo Ruoyou accompanied him to read medical books for a while before going back to the room. She was sitting in front of the dressing table, her beautiful face was reflected in the bronze mirror, but she was distracted for a moment and felt The face of the person in the mirror was blurry, not her own, she was startled, the jade comb in her hand slipped to the ground, and broke in two with a "click".
The jade comb is broken, this is not an auspicious omen, her heart suffocated, she almost anxiously took out the safety talisman obtained at Xiangguo Temple a few days ago from under the pillow, the safety talisman was empty, it was supposed to hold Huo Weilou Huo Weilou's birth date, but she didn't know Huo Weilou's birthday, so the request for this safety talisman was quite hasty. Would the Buddha blame her for not being sincere enough
She could no longer sleep soundly.
It was September, and a heavy rain at the end of autumn wiped out the last sliver of summer heat. She asked Cheng Yunzhi and Uncle Liang and his wife to change into thick robes, and she also wore autumn clothes, which were newly cut in advance in summer. However, because she has lost some weight recently, there is actually some emptiness around her waist, and even Cheng Yunzhi can see that she has lost some weight, so she asks Aunt Liang to make some nourishing soup from time to time.
That day when Zhou Liang came back from the outside, his face was quite anxious, but he dared not say a word in front of Bo Ruoyou. After she returned to his room, Zhou Liang said softly: "Master, there is another word from the outside world. It is said that a group of mountain people in the southwest have rebelled, and that Master Hou was killed by these people. This morning, the 800-li urgent army sent by the southwest garrison reported to the city, and they also brought the dragon arrows that were only used by the army when they were urgently ordered. All the way into the Xuanwu Gate unimpeded, many people in the market saw it."
Cheng Yunzhi frowned, looked at Xiyuan with reassurance, and said: "Don't let the lady hear these words."
Zhou Liang quickly nodded in response.
Although Bo Ruoyou didn't hear this, but when he went to the Yamen to answer Mao in the afternoon, he also found that the atmosphere in the capital was unusual when he walked on the road. When he arrived at the Yamen, he casually asked a familiar Yamen officer and he knew that there was a military situation this morning Urgent report.
Her thin figure stood under the bright plaque of the yamen, she was stunned for a while before she came to her senses, the yamen was fine, but she didn't want to go home as soon as possible, she just sat in the back hall, looking for an errand , but these two days the yamen was free, and she didn't even have an errand to transcribe files. She didn't get up until the night fell, and she just got up and went to Changshoufang.
She was thinking along the way, even the military newspaper had arrived in Beijing, how could there be no news from Huo Weilou!
unless…
She was suffocating, her hands and feet were cold and her fingertips were numb, her three souls and seven souls seemed to be pulled away, the tip of her nose was sore, but her eye sockets were dry, as if all six senses had been lost, and she couldn't cry even if she wanted to.
After an unknown amount of time, the carriage stopped suddenly, and Bo Ruoyou knew that the door had arrived, but she couldn't move as if she was completely exhausted. At this moment, Zhou Liang suddenly said excitedly: "Miss—"
Bo Ruoyou seemed to have never heard it, until Zhou Liang called out louder, she just came back to her senses, she propped herself up, and slowly leaned over to lift the curtain, just as the curtain was lifted, she was stunned.
Before the gate of the new house, there was a carriage parked.
The carriage was covered with red and green curtains, plain and simple, but at that moment, Bo Ruoyou's eyes trembled fiercely, she almost froze for a moment, then staggered down and ran towards the carriage, she didn't see the figure behind the carriage hidden in the dim light Dozens of iron cavalry raised the curtain with only a kind of strength like tearing silk.
Sitting in the carriage was a tall and majestic figure. He leaned against the wall of the carriage as if he was taking a nap. The moment the curtain was lifted, he suddenly opened his eyes. As time passed by, he immediately leaned forward, but before he could lean out, Bo Ruoyou had already climbed up.
She threw herself into his arms, only to push him back, and hit his back on the car wall. He put his arms around him, but couldn't help but groaned in pain. Bao Ruoyou heard it, and smelled the faint smell on his body The smell of blood, but she didn't want to back away, and only hugged him tighter, until then, she heard her sob softly.
