66.066 The richest beggar
"What if this is true?"
Su Ke seemed to be able to see the helplessness around Shao Linghang, as if he was smiling and laughing. The road is one foot high, and the magic is one foot high, and I wanted to take advantage of everything to make waves, but I never thought about folding myself in.
Su Ke tugged at the corners of his mouth and said, "Stealing chickens doesn't make rice." β
Shao Linghang also pulled the corners of his mouth to accompany him, "I lost my wife and broke my soldiers." β
Su Ke looked at him lightly, the lantern under the corridor cast a dim light through the door, Shao Linghang leaned against the door, with the light on his back, but his appearance was extremely clear. Su Ke's two hands were pressed against his chest, the two were too close together, their breaths were against each other, and their palms felt his powerful heartbeat.
"I have to go back." Su Ke tilted his head.
Shao Linghang didn't plan to let go, his arm strangled her and he couldn't move, and his voice was low, "You haven't answered my question yet." β
Su Ke avoided his breath, "What's the problem?" She couldn't remember it anymore.
Shao Linghang said word by word: "What if, what if the fate of Qin Tian's supervision is true? I was born a widow and a widow, and I had no solution to my fate. I am too angry, and I will restrain everyone close to me. β
Su Ke listened calmly, but there was no more follow-up. Before he could ask what he should have asked, the words came to an abrupt end.
She looked straight at him, and her gaze fell on the collar of the white mid-coat exposed in his crewneck, embroidered with silver thread and moire, delicate and generous, fitting his neck. Stripping off his military uniform and changing out of his strong clothes, he is a typical child of a family, with a fine life and good gestures.
This is the original him, the smiling in the eyes of others, and the rebelliousness in the eyes of the small. That's what he's supposed to be.
However, the border is chaotic and the interests of the court are involved, so he has to abandon his usual romance, ride a horse and carry a gun, and make contributions on the battlefield.
He said he killed hundreds of people, but he defended the territory and the people. He dissipated his blessings in exchange for the anger of his body, which was not what he thought. Now that a person is sentenced to death with a single fate, is this different from an unjust, false and wrongful case? Do people live on a pair of eight characters?
Su Ke pushed him, his body retreated, and the hand he strangled on her back fell.
Su Ke's body stiffened, and after a while, he lost his temper, gritted his teeth and said, "You are really capable." Killing hundreds of people is not afraid, afraid of the words of an old bull in the Qin Heavenly Prison. β
Shao Linghang leaned on the door, his body was lazy, and his voice was tepid, "I'm not afraid, it's me who is lonely and widowed, and I don't criticize me for dying early." β
His words still didn't say half a sentence, the battlefield was so murderous, how could he get up now.
Su Ke raised his eyebrows and asked him neatly, "If I die early, will Master Hou marry again?" β
Shao Linghang obviously didn't realize that she would ask like this, her eyes widened a little, and she shook her head for a while before she hurriedly replied, "No." β
"What if there is no heir to inherit the title?"
"The third brother has two sons, and whether he can inherit it depends on the emperor's intentions. But it's probably not that hard. β
Su Ke raised his chin, "Isn't this the end?" β
She looked at him honestly and straightforwardly, without the slightest wavering or suspicion. She is a person who likes to leave a back road, and this problem is good and bad. But after hesitation, as long as she has a firm idea, she becomes fearless.
This fearlessness fell into Shao Linghang's eyes, and there was no sound around him for a moment, only the sound of a pounding heartbeat in his ears.
That's when he woke up. Is his life bad? If it's really bad, it's to accumulate all the luck and blessings before and disperse them all at once, just to meet such a person in front of you. He became a beggar of fate, but he was also the richest beggar.
"Ke'er......" He raised his hand to pull her, but as soon as the two words came out, the back of his hand was slapped fiercely.
Su Ke raised his eyebrows and warned him to shut up with his eyes.
There were footsteps passing by outside, and the little girl yawned and walked away.
Su Ke stiffened his face, "That's why you call me that, for fear that others won't know that you're here?" He snorted as he spoke, "Who shouted for my full name and surname, and said that I was relying on the face of my family...... If you have the ability, don't call it that. β
Shao Linghang smiled at the corner of his mouth, still reaching out to catch her. Su Ke wanted to hide, but it wasn't fast enough for him.
His body was warm and clinging to it, as if he were leaning against the fire. The arm was around her waist, and she was so hard that she couldn't breathe at the same time, and her waist was about to break. Su Ke turned his head from his chest, took two breaths, and tugged at his clothes to drag him.
"I have to go back......"
He buried his face in her hair, his breath hitting her neck, and coaxed her, "Hold it for a while, just for a while." β
β¦β¦
Wushuang had been boiling white and black for two days, and when Su Ke went back, Wushuang's upper and lower eyelids were fighting. Su Ke asked her to go to bed, and the old lady watched by herself. Wushuang saw that she was in good spirits, nodded and went to the warm pavilion to squint for a while.
Not long after, Shao Linghang Shi Ran came in, took a look at the old lady's situation, and looked at Su Ke with deep meaning when he turned around.
As a result, he was given a blank look.
Didn't you just hug her for a long time, and then I didn't restrain myself from kissing her ear for a while, look at this anger.
- Not next time.
ββWould you like to have another time?
-- I'm not even afraid of being alone, why do you do this to me?
- You are shameless. Indecent.
The two of them silently made eye contact, and when the tension was blowing, the old lady on the bed suddenly heard a hoarse shout.
"Master Hou...... Hou Ye ......"
Shao Linghang rushed over almost in an arrow step, held the old lady's hand, and responded eagerly, "Mother, I'm here." β
But the old lady didn't wake up, she was still reading the word "Hou Ye" in her mouth, and her eyes kept rolling under her eyelids, she should be dreaming. Shao Linghang called twice, and only then did he react, this "Hou Ye" should not be him.
"Mother, mother, wake up." Shao Linghang pushed the old lady's shoulders and called four or five times, and the old lady finally woke up.
As soon as I opened my eyes, tears slipped down the corners of my eyes. But seeing Shao Linghang, the old lady felt somewhat relieved.
Because of sweating, Su Ke helped the old lady wipe her body and changed her middle clothes. Xu's mother had woken up and came over to help change the bedding. When everything was done, when the old lady went to sleep again, the sky was already bright.
Wushuang came to replace Su Ke's class, and after calculating the calculations, Su Ke hadn't closed his eyes for a long time.
After cleaning up briefly, Su Ke's body was heavy, and he didn't plan to go back to the Fu family, so he squinted on the big kang outside. Just lying down, there was a sound of talking from under the window. Listening to it, it was Bai Lu and Mother Xu, who couldn't argue about it.
Su Ke lifted the curtain and went out, and the two of them were snatching a small shovel in their hands.
"What's going on?"
Bai Lu stomped her feet, "It's not dawn yet, it's pitch black, Mother Xu has to go to the back garden to find some plum wine." It's so cold, the snow hasn't melted yet, in case of falling, the old lady has already fallen, and if Mother Xu falls down at this time, we will be even more lacking. β
When the old lady married into the Hou Mansion, she brought four big girls to marry, one Aunt Zheng, one Aunt Tian, one died, and the remaining one was Mother Xu.
Even though the two aunts were arranged by the old lady earlier, the hearts of the people were separated from their stomachs, their faces were opened, and with their reputations, the relationship was no longer so close. There is only one mother Xu left, who married a steward in the front yard earlier, and then died before the steward was thirty years old. The old lady took pity on her, so she treated her better than anyone else. The subordinates of Xiangju did not dare to snub Xu's mother, even if the Furui family came in, they had to give three points to Xu's mother.
Bai Lu said this, which sounded a little rushed, but she was also worried about Mother Xu, who was old and hadn't slept well for a few days.
"Why did you remember to look for plum wine? Buried under the roots of a tree? Su Ke heard the old lady mention that the old marquis liked sourness when he was alive, and his favorite drink was the plum wine he brewed himself. A few jars are buried under the roots of the tree, and they like to set a date, some are opened once in five years, some are opened once in ten years, some are to be opened during Shao Linghang's coming-of-age ceremony, and some are to be opened when Shao Linghang has made contributions.
Mother Xu's eyes were red, she pushed the shovel into Bai Lu's hand, took a breath and said to Su Ke: "The old lady is thinking about the old marquis, in case she just follows her...... I remember that there are still one or two jars buried in the back garden, and when I dig them out, plum wine can warm my stomach and help me sleep, and there is a thought in it, maybe I will get better after drinking it......"
If plum wine can really solve the knot, this is indeed a solution.
"Okay, don't fight, or I'll go to the back garden and have a look." Su Ke took over the matter, "Bai Lu has been guarding the medicine jar for a night, and now I'll go to sleep for a while." There is Wushuang in the house now, so Mother Xu might as well go to the kitchen and think about whether there is any delicious food for the old lady to eat, and prepare some. and Master Hou, who stayed up all night, and didn't eat anything at this time. I'm fine now, the back garden is still cooked, I'll go sideways. I just don't know which tree to bury underneath? β
Hearing that Su Ke was so well arranged, Mother Xu was a little grateful to Su Ke.
It's just that I can't help the plum wine, "I only know that it's buried in the back garden, and no one knows what kind of tree it is, except for the old lady." I also want to try my luck in the back garden, and I dig it all over again, and there aren't many trees in total. β
Su Ke pursed the corners of his mouth, what is the total number of trees, at least twenty or thirty.
I didn't know where it was, I didn't know what the tree was, and it was snowing in the winter...... Su Ke thought about it and sighed in his heart, but he had already responded, and he could help the old lady, so Su Ke took the shovel and went to the back garden.
The sky was not yet fully lit, and the hazy sky was even colder because of the cloudy day. The mothers-in-law who cleaned the back garden came to the duty one after another, and walked with Su Ke to greet each other and say hello to each other. Seeing that Su Ke had an iron shovel in his hand, when he was stunned, Su Ke also began to ask them about the plum wine that the old marquis had buried under the roots of the tree before.
It's a pity that the old marquis has been dead for almost eight years, and most of these mothers-in-law are transferred later, and they don't know anything about it.
However, there is a mother-in-law who reminds that since it is plum wine, it should be buried under the plum tree. Isn't there a small plum grove in the northeast corner of the back garden, where the odds are better than those green pines, birches, and begonias here.
Su Ke felt that it made sense, thanked them, and carried the shovel to the northeast corner.
And when he arrived at the northeast corner, Su Ke suddenly remembered something, pinched his fingers and calculated, it had been exactly twenty days since the last time he delivered food to Aunt Tian's courtyard.
And the small courtyard is just behind Merlin.
"Girl, where are you going?"
Seeing that he had already seen Merlin, a shrill voice suddenly remembered behind him. Because I had heard it before, Su Ke's memory was quite good, and he didn't have to look back to guess that this person was the mother-in-law who was watching the door at the back door.
Su Ke smiled, turned around and said, "I am the old lady who is waiting for me, my name is Su Ke." Mommy is ......"
The mother-in-law smiled falsely, "I am the one who guards the forest in the back garden, my surname is Niu, and the girl can call me Niu-in-law." β
"Hello Mother Niu." Su Ke nodded at her and took off the shovel on his shoulder, "Isn't the old lady sick recently, Mother Xu remembered the plum wine that the old marquis once buried under the root of the tree, and remembered to bring out a jar to appetize the old lady." I had just been transferred to the old lady and wanted to express my wishes, so I took this errand. β
Su Ke felt that his luck was quite good, before he was in the ear room, before leaving, Shao Linghang stuffed a purse for her, which was full of silver horns that were used in the house to reward people, plum blossom shape, horseshoe shape, gourd shape, a good meaning.
I didn't want to, but recently I have to ask for a lot of facts. The truth that money is easy to do is common all over the world.
After pushing for a long time, Su Ke finally carried it in his arms.
Before it was hot, it came in handy.
Su Ke took out a small gourd-shaped silver horn, half a tael, walked over and quietly stuffed it into the hand of the cow woman, "Mother Niu is convenient, I will dig in this plum forest, I really let me dig it, if the old lady gets a good one, I can't forget the kindness of Mother Niu." β
Mrs. Niu is the old lady and the third ladyβ‘β‘ and she is here, and she has also received a lot of rewards before. She touched the shape with her hand and trusted Su Ke.
It is indeed the person next to the old lady.
Mrs. Niu relieved her heart and told Su Ke to only dig in the merlin and not to go to the next place.
Su Ke responded happily, and when he arrived at the edge of Merlin, he planned to dig from scratch and not let go of any of them. It wasn't until the roots of the six trees were dug up that the cow woman finally left impatiently. Or maybe she calculated the time and wanted to go to the small courtyard to take a look. But Su Ke didn't see Xu Wang's cart from Huafang passing by.
A layer of fine sweat appeared on his body, and when the cold wind blew, Su Ke shivered.
The sun had already risen, but it was cloudy and cloudy, and the sky was dark. When Su Ke dug up the eighth tree, there was a very light footstep behind him.
"What are you digging for?"
It was Aunt Tian's voice......
