Volume 5 Downfall and Despondency North Looking at the Cloud Monument Chapter 4 Homecoming
A beautiful carriage with the Su flag walked slowly on the street of Guanyue City.
Sub walked by the side of the carriage, listening to the movement inside. He was still a step too late just now, and didn't stop the young man from entering the carriage. The young lady dragged him into her carriage.
"Miss hasn't left the pavilion yet, in the middle of the night, lonely men and widows ride in the same car, if people see it, then Miss's reputation will be ruined!" Su Bo was worried and anxious, rubbing his hands as he walked, listening to the sound inside from time to time.
In the carriage, Su Mengling was carefully helping Zhuo Hua wipe his wounds, Zhuo Hua's body was very straight, with a serious expression, his eyes were closed, and he seemed to be asleep, but his chest was rising and falling rapidly, and it was difficult to say that he was not alarmed in his heart.
Su Mengling helped Zhuo Hua scrub while sobbing and whispering. "It's all my fault, and my big brother is so badly injured. Such a good-looking big brother, what if he has a scar?"
As he spoke, Su Mengling turned around and rubbed the brocade in his hand in the copper water basin next to him, and the blood stains that were wiped off immediately dissolved in the water, and gradually the original basin of water had become a basin of blood water.
Su Mengling frowned, her chest rose and fell violently, and suddenly, she hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand, and then let out a series of retching sounds.
After retching, the tears in her eyes were already hanging, and she couldn't stop breathing with her little hands on her chest from top to bottom.
At this time, a warm big hand was rhythmically flapping on her back, the strength was soft and firm, which made Su Mengling feel much better.
Su Mengling turned her head and gave Zhuo Hua a smile and shouted, "Big brother, I'm fine." ”
"You're afraid of this blood?"
"Well, since I was ambushed by the tiger demon that time, and I saw my family and guards being torn to pieces on the spot, I fell into this problem. Su Mengling raised her eyes, and her tearful autumn pupils were full of sadness, "Big brother, am I particularly useless?"
Zhuo Hua bent down and said to her with a soft gaze: "It's not that you are useless, you were only six years old at that time, and it is not unusual to have such a reaction when you see that kind of scene." Who's a six-year-old girl doll sees a murderer all day long! At that time, when I saw you, I thought you were very brave. ”
Su Mengling's words made Su Mengling burst into tears and laughed, "Really? Did the big brother really think I was brave at that time? But I was already so scared that I could only tremble!"
Zhuo Hua slowly straightened up, smiled and did not answer Su Mengling's question. "Six-year-old children, only Lanling will find it interesting to see murder. He thought to himself.
With a creak, the carriage stopped. Outside the carriage, Subod's voice came in: "Miss, I've arrived at the house." ”
Su Mengling got together, opened the curtains and looked outside, Zhuo Hua caught a glimpse of a small and exquisite mansion and came into view. Su Mengling replied crisply: "I know!"
Then he turned around and pulled Zhuo Huadi's arm out.
"Big brother, we're here. I'll take you to see my father, and he must be eager to see you. ”
Zhuo Hua was dragged into the Su Mansion in this way.
Su Mansion is not big, entering a high ground wall carved with a delicate bat pattern, and the gourd pattern is also engraved around to supplement the decoration.
Turn around the wall, come to a spacious courtyard, the courtyard in the center of the wide road paved with green bricks planted on both sides of the bamboo, it is the middle of winter, it stands to reason that some bamboo leaves should be yellow and falling, but Zhuo Hua walked and looked but did not find a yellow bamboo leaf, it can be seen that the old man of the Su family has spent a lot of effort on the bamboo forest.
Walk through the bamboo forest and come to the main hall, the door of the house is open at this moment, and there is a huge picture of winter snow plum and bamboo hanging on the hall, the painting is exquisite, lifelike.
"It seems that this Master Su is a literati. Zhuo Hua said in his heart.
Su Mengling pulled Zhuo Hua to the outside of the foyer and said to Zhuo Hua: "Big brother, you drink tea here first, I will go into the inner house to change clothes, and then go and call my father out to meet you." ”
After speaking, he smiled at Su Bowaner and said, "Grandpa Su, the eldest brother will ask you, you have to take good care of him! I'll be back in a while." After saying that, he rushed into the inner house with a cheer.
Zhuo Hua and Su Bo looked at each other a little embarrassed and smiled, Su Bo stretched out his right hand and said "Please come in", Zhuo Hua replied with a "bother", and stepped into the hall.
Su Bo led Zhuo Hua to the guest seat on the left and said, "Smoke boy, the old man will go to that set of change clothes for the son." Wait a moment. ”
Zhuo Hua looked at his two exposed arms, white flowers, and hurriedly got up and thanked him: "Today is Yan Mou's rudeness." ”
Su Bo smiled and bowed down.
After a while, a maid came to Zhuo Hua with a cup of tea and whispered, "Son, please use tea." Before Zhuo Hua could say thank you, the maid hurriedly put down the teacup and left.
The moment Zhuo Hua saw the maid turn around and leave the ground, he seemed to be trying to hold back a smile.
Zhuo Hua is sitting on pins and needles at the moment, which is even more like sitting on pins and needles than when he held a big court meeting in Lingjue Palace before, and the patriarchs of the four palaces and seven clans quarreled into a pot of porridge.
Tea, he naturally did not move. In the past three months, whether he was beaten, belittled, or insulted, or driven away as a beggar when he was hungry, he never let up the breath in his heart.
But now, sitting in the high hall and being treated as a guest, everyone is polite to him, but the tone in his heart is relaxed.
Only now did he have to admit that he was no longer the Yungong Yuanjun who was high up and directing the country.
He was now just a beggar with no body and no hands to tie the chicken.
Beggar smoke Ruojun.
A long sigh was particularly noticeable in the quiet hall where there was no one around.
Sub came out from behind the screen of the side door, holding a brand new set of clothes in both hands. Hearing Zhuo Hua's long sigh, his footsteps slowed down slightly.
"This person must have suffered a major accident, this long sigh makes people feel cold!" Su Bo listened to this long sigh and came to Zhuo Hua.
"Tobacco boy, I saw that your figure was about the same as mine, so I took it upon myself to take a new set of dog clothes. This is what I did, I haven't worn it, and I ask the son not to dislike it. After speaking, Su Bo stretched out his hands in front of Zhuo Hua.
Zhuo Hua didn't look at the new clothes, but got up and bowed to Su Bo, and asked, "Old man, is this dress for your son to wear in the New Year?"
Su Bo glanced down at the dress, nodded and said, "It is indeed a cotton robe made for the fabric cut for the New Year." However, out of the way, he can wear last year's clothes. ”
Zhuo Hua waved his hand and said with a smile: "Old man, I understand your kindness, and I won't change my clothes and cigarettes." You also trouble the old man to help me get a basin of water, let me freshen up, and goodbye to the master's house, okay?"
Su Bo said with some embarrassment: "But just now Miss ordered me to take care of you, if you don't change into new clothes, when Miss comes out and sees it, I'm afraid you will blame the old man." ”
Zhuo Hua smiled calmly and said, "Miss Su, I'll tell him that the old man can rest assured." ”
Su Bo nodded, put away the new cotton clothes, and said, "Then I'll go down to fetch water." He turned around and was about to leave, but after taking two steps, he turned back and said to Zhuo Hua: "Thank you." With that, he walked away quickly.
After a while, Su Bo returned to the hall with the little maid just now, Su Bo brought a copper basin, the little maid carried a pot of hot water, Su Bo stood at the side door and called Zhuo Hua over.
Zhuo Hua got up and slowly walked to the small room on the edge of the hall, Su Bo had already set up the basin, and the little maid was pouring hot water into the basin, and after pouring it for a while, she reached in to test the water temperature.
Seeing Zhuo Hua, Su Bo said with a smile: "Yan Gongzi, the water has been prepared, please clean your face." ”
Zhuo Hua hummed with a smile on his face, came to the basin and began to wash his face.
Seeing Zhuo Hua's cotton robe in tatters, and the two sleeves were missing, the little maid couldn't help but laugh again.
Su Bo, who heard the laughter, turned his head and glared at the little girl fiercely, so frightened that the girl immediately put away her smile and stood beside her with her head bowed and her hands.
After washing his face, Zhuo Hua, who tied up his crown again, regained a little of his spirit. He turned around and thanked Su Bo and the little maid respectively.
The little maid seemed to be the first time she had seen such a handsome man, and she couldn't help but sigh, and when she saw Zhuo Hua's gaze shifting, she immediately blushed to the root of her ears and buried her head lower.
There was a sound of footsteps in the hall, and Su Bo reminded Zhuo Hua: "Smoker, the master is here." ”
Zhuo Hua nodded and followed Su Bo to the hall quickly. Stand in front of the guest seat and wait for the host's house to arrive.
An old man in his fifties walked out of the back hall. The old man was dressed plainly but elegantly, in good spirits, and with a steady gait. Behind him was the innocent and smiling Su Mengling.
Before the old man reached the center of the lobby, Su Mengling rushed to Zhuo Hua's side, and praised as he ran: "Ah, big brother, you have washed up! You are so good-looking." His eyes fell on Zhuo Hua's tattered robe again, his brows immediately furrowed, and he grabbed Su Bo's hand and said coquettishly: "Su Bo! Didn't they all say that you should take good care of my eldest brother! Why do you see that he is still wearing this tattered clothes?"
Su Bo just wanted to open his mouth to defend himself, but he heard the old man above the lobby scolding: "Mengling, which lady is pulling and pulling like you, noisy and noisy, what kind of body is it?" Then, the old man turned his face and said to Zhuo Hua with a smile: "The little girl is spoiled, and she makes the guest laugh without rules!"
Before he could finish speaking, the old man's eyes suddenly widened, and tears burst out of his eyes, and his two wrinkled hands trembled and stretched forward.
He asked with some excitement and disbelief: "Engong, is Engong you?"
