Song Yanzhu heard Zhao Rong's voice, hurriedly got up, opened the window and looked, and saw that Zhao Rong, who had not been seen for a long time, was wearing night clothes from head to toe, black and black, and a pair of eyes bent into two crescent moons, looking at her happily: "I thought you couldn't hear it, but I'm worried about killing me!" ”

Song Yanzhu was startled and asked in a low voice, "Sixth brother, why are you here!" ”

"I'm here to save you!" Zhao Rong said softly: "Second sister, I know that you are in trouble, so you can go with me!" ”

"What?" Song Yanzhu was dumbfounded, and Yibi hurriedly pushed him, "Sixth brother, go quickly!" ”

She doesn't know how many eyes are staring at this courtyard these days, if people see Zhao Rongsan being here in the middle of the night, I'm afraid that both of them will have to walk around without food.

Suddenly, a voice came from the darkness: "Second sister, you quickly change into this dress and go with Xiaoliu!" ”

Song Yanzhu's heart jumped, and he saw Song Chengqing come out in the dark, and said softly: "The people sent by the old lady to see you have been cleared away by me, we have a quarter of an hour, you can leave quickly...... I thought about it for a few days, but I couldn't think of a perfect solution...... I was still a little opposed when Zhao Rong mentioned yì, but when I look at it today, this is forcing Liangshan, so I can only do this. If you go with Zhao Rong, he will send you to live in Zhuangzi in the countryside for a while, as long as you pass this threshold, you can come back! ”

"Don't be in a daze!" Zhao Rong pulled Song Yanzhu's sleeve and said, "Hurry up, the carriage is just outside the door!" ”

"But ......" Song Yanzhu was hesitating, and Song Chengqing said: "Don't worry, I will take a good look at the maids who serve you, and I will never let my grandmother hurt them." I'm her grandson, she won't do anything to me even if she gets angry, so let's go! ”

"What about Sixth Brother Zhao?" Song Yanzhu hesitated. Zhao Rong scratched his head and said, "Are you worried about what I do!" I'll go home when I'm done with you, and as long as I don't say anything, who knows I'll send you away!? ”

Song Yanzhu gritted his teeth, put on his coat and walked with Zhao Rong. Traveling all the way, Xu is Song Chengqing had done it in advance, but it was unimpeded, and he only needed to bypass a hand-copying verandah to reach the back door, Song Yanzhu was about to leave, and a person suddenly appeared in front of him.

Song Yanzhu was startled, only to see Song Huanzhu standing in front of her, staring at her: "Second sister, is this going to run away?" As he spoke, the person looked at Zhao Rong behind Song Yanzhu again, and laughed softly: "Sixth Brother Zhao is so interested, he actually came to our house for a walk!" ”

Zhao Rong was about to hide behind the pillar, but she was suddenly named, so he simply stood up generously and said with a smile: "I heard that the night in the Song Mansion is a hundred times better than that of the Zhao Mansion, and sure enough, if you go around at will, you can meet a beauty like Sister Huan'er!" ”

Song Huanzhu snorted coldly and asked Song Yanzhu, "Do you guess what the result will be if I roar this time?" ”

"You won't!" Song Yanzhu looked at her lightly and laughed softly: "You wish I could leave quickly, how could you call someone to stop me!" ”

"You're self-aware." Song Huanzhu was unwilling to stomp his feet, turned sideways, and said to Song Yanzhu: "If I want to stop you, I don't have to make a move at all." My mother let the maids and girls around her all keep an eye on your yard, as long as you have the wind and grass, someone will sue my mother, if I hadn't stopped me, the maid would have told my mother a long time ago, can you still come here? ”

Song Yanzhu was obviously in debt, and Song Huanzhu sneered: "You don't have to thank me. I'm just doing it myself...... If you don't leave, where will I get the chance? ”

"Then I wish my sister what she wants." Song Yanzhu said softly, took two steps, and then stepped back and said, "Although you may not believe it, I still want to remind you that the Nine Princes are not a good destination!" ”

"How do I not know? But I don't believe in fate! Song Huanzhu said softly, "Ordinary men can have three wives and four concubines, let alone a dignified prince." Since it is destined to compete with the woman next to him for a man, if you want to grab it, you naturally have to grab the best! As long as I can marry the Ninth Prince, I will always have a way to make him love me alone! ”

"Ambitious!" Zhao Rong couldn't help but want to applaud, Song Huanzhu glared at her fiercely, he withdrew his hand stupidly, scratched his head and said, "Let's go quickly!" ”

Song Yanzhu nodded, grabbed Zhao Rong casually, and was about to run to the back door. Opening the door, Zhao Rong took the lead in climbing into the carriage, and she was about to climb up, when suddenly the door behind her "banged".

A lantern walked out of the door, and behind the door, was the gloomy face of Mrs. Song, beside her, Song Huanzhu shook her head apologetically, and pointed at Zhao Silian.

The organs on Zhao Silian's face were all twisted together, and she wanted to cry: "What did I do wrong? I just wanted to see if my sister was cured, but my sister had me tied up in the firewood room...... Where is my sister going? If you're gone, what will happen to your grandmother? If the Ninth Prince comes, how do you ask your grandmother to explain? Don't you care about all of this? ”

Old Lady Song's eyes were full of disappointment and anger, and she stared at Song Yanzhu for a moment, eager to make a hole in her face, and then slowly moved to the carriage behind her, and said loudly: "Zhao Rong, come out." ”

******

"Did you eat it?" Peony asked softly.

Mother Hua shook her head, took the thing back as it was, and said softly, "What is this doing?" ”

"I heard that the Nine Princes are coming tomorrow." Peony said softly: "As long as tomorrow passes, Miss will be relieved." ”

"Who knows if it's relief, or if it's a sheep's mouth...... Mother Hua whispered a little impatiently, and said to Peony: "What is the difference between the old lady's practice and the poor selling their daughters!" ”

"Mom's voice is quieter, beware of the wall with ears." Peony instructed softly, handed the things in her hand to Mother Hua and said: "This is the clothes that the old lady ordered to prepare, saying that the Nine Princes will come tomorrow, and the young lady must pack it up, otherwise she will punish us!" ”

There was a rustling sound outside the door, and Song Yanzhu lay on the bed, looking at the curtains on the bed in a daze. The door creaked, Mother Hua walked in lightly, put the two clothes on the table, and sighed when she saw Song Yanzhu's eyes looking at it without blinking. Song Yanzhu just didn't hear it, and after a while, another person approached, and suddenly put his hands on her eyes and covered them, Song Yanzhu took his hands away, and saw Song Heqing grimacing.

Song Yanzhu simply turned over and ignored Song Heqing. Song Heqing pursed his lips and sighed: "Second sister, I will inquire about everything you asked me to inquire about...... Sixth Brother Zhao was personally brought back by the eldest master of the Zhao family, and that day his grandmother pointed to Sang and scolded Huai and said a lot of things, and the eldest brother Zhao kept paying on the spot, and his face was not very good-looking when he went out. I heard that after going back, Brother Zhao and Miss Zhao Jiu were beaten up by Master Zhao. In the past few days, I haven't seen the sixth brother go to the teacher's place, and the teacher sent someone to ask, but the Zhao family only said that the sixth brother was unwell and would be raised at home for a few days...... In the morning, I sneaked to Zhao's mansion, and Brother Zhao was lying on the bed unable to move, and his ass was not less offended. ”

Song Yanzhu said "um", suddenly his heart moved, turned around and asked, "What about Tao Moyan?" ”

"Brother Tao is not very good!" Song Heqing said: "Yesterday he had a good class with me, and suddenly coughed, I saw that his face was not very good, and when he covered his mouth with a handkerchief, I seemed to see blood on the handkerchief...... Today, he also took leave, saying that he occasionally felt a cold and would be raised at home for a few days. ”

A hint of foreboding rose in Song Yanzhu's heart, and he was annoyed and uneasy.

Song Heqing said: "Mrs. Zhu was very melancholy, worried about whether Zhuangzi's feng shui was not good, and specially asked for a peace charm for me and Jingwen. As he spoke, he took out a small yellow talisman folded into a triangle from his arms, handed it to Song Yanzhu and said, "Second sister, I think you are also quite unlucky, give it to you to ward off evil spirits!" ”

"The evil I should dispel the most is your poor cousin!" Song Yanzhu rolled his eyes.

Song Heqing said softly: "Sister Nine asked me to bring you a message, saying that it is really not good, let's have a Li Dai Taozhuang." ”

"Li Dai Tao stiff?" Song Yanzhu shook his head again and again. She never thought that Li Dai Tao was stiff, but firstly, Mrs. Cui had seen her, if she came with her tomorrow, she could see through the truth at a glance, and secondly, her biggest hurdle was not others, but the old lady!

In just half a day, Song Shengming has been here a few times, and has been telling her that Mrs. Song is old, let Song Yanzhu think more about her, filial piety comes first, if Mrs. Song has a case, what if, Yunyun.

As soon as Song Yanzhu thought of Mrs. Song's face, she felt a headache: If Li Dai was really stiff, I was afraid that the first person who stood up to expose her would be Mrs. Song.

Song Yanzhu couldn't help but sigh again, and when he turned around, he saw a honey lotus-colored Wanfu Su satin long skirt on the table, with silver silk water patterns on the cuffs, and the whole skirt looked expensive.

Song Heqing picked up the dress and looked at it, and said in a speechless manner: "Grandmother is really willing to spend money for the Ninth Prince!" I heard that this is a fine product of Tianxiang Pavilion, and a piece of clothing is worth the food and clothing of ordinary people for several months...... My father and mother have been kneeling in front of my grandmother today, trying to persuade us, a stubborn old lady, but unfortunately she is not moved at all. ”

"Just don't force each other to die again." Song Yanzhu sneered.

After a while, another voice sounded outside the door, and Mother Hua said softly: "Miss Cousin, my young lady doesn't want to see guests." ”

"I know ...... my sister is angry with me" Zhao Silian's soft and weak voice sounded, "I just want to say sorry to my sister, I really don't want to get along with her, I also want her good...... Mom, just let me see her. I have something I want to say to her in person. ”

Mother Hua sighed and said, "Miss Cousin is a smart person, and I know that the last person my young lady wants to see now is you...... As the saying goes, leave a line in your work, and you will meet in the future, but you ......," she paused and said, "Are you here to apologize?" Or do you come to visit the prison? ”

"......" was silent for a moment, and said softly: "I can't help it, my grandmother and eldest aunt both said that I should see my sister and persuade her, I can't disobey the will of the two elders." ”

"You ......" Mother Hua was about to scold, and suddenly there was a sound of "Mother get out of the way" behind her, Mother Hua subconsciously turned away, only to hear a loud sound, a basin of water was all splashed on Zhao Silian's body, and Zhao Silian immediately got wet from head to toe.

Zhao Silian screamed, and finally saw the person who came, and saw Song Yanzhu looking at him coldly, and said concisely-

"Get out!"

******

On the second day, the wind was mild, and the two carriages slowly stopped in front of the Song Mansion. Mrs. Song led the family to wait aside, waiting for the carriage to be stable, and Mrs. Cui got off the carriage first. Then he waited respectfully.

A person slowly got down from the carriage, the "Long Jiu" of the last time, and Zhu Qizhen of this time fell to the ground, still the ink-colored robe from the last time, still with gold silk and flowing cloud patterns, and the momentum of the whole body was not half converged compared with the previous time, and everyone did not dare to come out of the atmosphere with a sense of luxury.

Mrs. Song trembled and led the whole family to salute, and Mrs. Song said softly: "The woman is clumsy, she didn't recognize the Nine Princes last time, I hope the Nine Princes will forgive me!" If there is any neglect, look at the prince Haihan! ”

"He who does not know is not guilty!" Zhu Qizhen responded casually, but his eyes searched the crowd, and he asked softly, "Why didn't you see Miss Song?" Who is Miss Song Er? ”

Mrs. Song couldn't help but be a little cramped, and responded: "It's hot in the summer, and the two of them are greedy for wind and cold at night, so they don't dare to meet the guests." ”

"It's just a cold, it's not in the way." Zhu Qizhen took a step and was about to walk to the house, when he suddenly smelled a faint fragrance, he sniffed into the air, and suddenly his eyes fell on a beautiful woman.

I saw that the person who came frowned lightly, with a fallen horse bun in his left ear, a plain white silver hairpin on it, his sideburns were like lacquer, his light could be seen, a few strands of hair were slightly curly, and the hair was gentle and soft, and I was pitiful when I saw it.

Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but pause and asked softly, "Who is this?" ”

Mrs. Song suddenly raised a trace of vigilance and said, "This is my granddaughter, who stayed at my house because her parents left early. ”

Old Mrs. Cui looked at Zhao Silian with a smile and said softly: "It looks very standard, but it's just a little hard." ”

"Hmm." Zhu Qizhen nodded slightly noncommittally and walked away.

Yuan passed by Zhao Silian's side, suddenly glanced at her, and chuckled, "You go back to the house first." I don't need you to serve in front of me," he paused and said, "Go back and change your clothes, don't wipe this powder in the future...... After all, it is a good thing from Jinling, we don't have it in Jianzhou, we can save some use, maybe there will be more important occasions in the future? ”

Zhao Silian's face turned red, and turned pale. Twisting the handkerchief, he couldn't help biting his lower lip and paused, and ran into the house unwillingly.

At that moment, Zhu Qizhen was talking to Song Shengyuan and the others, and Mrs. Cui glanced at Mrs. Song, Mrs. Song shook her head, deliberately slowed down her pace, pulled Jin aside and said, "What is Yan'er doing, why is he refusing to come out for a long time!" ”

Jin shook his head blankly and said: "Since the day before yesterday, Qi Niang has not let me see her, and the peony sent by her is also serving by her mother, how do I know?" ”

Mrs. Song was so choked by her that she couldn't speak, and hurriedly asked the maid next to her to call Song Yanzhu.

Zhu Qizhen sat in the flower hall with everyone for a while, and the maid sent by Mrs. Song to change Song Yanzhu went and returned, and Mrs. Song's heart was about to be put down.

That time, Zhu Qizhen was talking about Zhu Qi with Song Heqing, and was talking about how outstanding Zhu Qi's articles were back then, when the maid opened the curtain and said that the second lady was here.

As soon as Zhu Qizhen looked up, he saw a beautiful woman coming over, wearing a long skirt of honey lotus color Wanfu Su satin inlaid with silver silk water patterns, combing a flying bun on her head, and a purple cloud crystal hairpin obliquely inserted.

This dress suits her perfectly, and she walks with a graceful figure, which makes people can't help but think about it. But one of the people who came had his head bowed, and his face was covered with a white veil. Zhu Qizhen didn't know why, although he hadn't seen the true face of this person, he felt familiar, and he tried his best to think about it, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

But looking at her figure, I only felt a astringency in my throat, and I was a little impulsive, wanting to rush up and take off her veil in person.

"Ask Wang Ye'an." The person who came saluted Zhu Qizhen, and Zhu Qizhen hurriedly stepped forward to help him.

Old Mrs. Song's heart was originally up and down, but when she saw Song Yanzhu wearing a white veil at this moment, she felt her heart skip a beat, and asked softly: "Yan'er, you must not be rude when you see the prince!" Take the veil off! ”

"Miss Xu is afraid of life," Mrs. Cui hurriedly spoke for Song Yanzhu, and said with a smile: "When I saw the concubine Niangniang for the first time, I saw it from afar, and my legs felt weak...... Second Miss, don't be afraid, the Ninth Prince is very approachable. You raise your head, take off your veil, and let me take a good look at Miss's flower and moon appearance! ”

"Please also ask the prince for forgiveness, it's not that the folk girl is rude and deliberately covered with a veil, but ......" Song Yanzhu made a mistake: "I don't know why, since last night, the face of the folk girl has been extremely itchy, and I don't know if there are too many mosquitoes, and the ...... bite on the face"

"It's just mosquitoes, so don't worry so much." Zhu Qizhen smiled lightly.

Mrs. Song said sharply: "It's just a mosquito, what are you afraid of, take off the veil quickly!" ”

"Oh......" Song Yan stretched out his hand, and at the moment when he reached out to take off the veil, the audience suddenly fell silent for a moment, and after a while, Mrs. Song's hand trembled, and a bowl of tea was all splashed on her hand, but she didn't realize it, and sat up in surprise-

"Yan'er, what's wrong with your face!"

"What's wrong with me?" Song Yanzhu looked at Mrs. Song a little stunned, and couldn't help but reach out and scratch her face, "Grandmother, I feel that my face is so itchy, and it hurts a little......"

She stretched out her hand and grabbed it, only to feel that something like water flowed out of her face, she pressed her face inexplicably, only to see Jin gasp -

Everyone was stunned, Song Yanzhu couldn't see it by himself, but in the eyes of others, Song Yanzhu's face at the moment was like a steamed egg with minced meat - the originally good dough suddenly swelled, and there were a few herpes-like things on it, Song Yanzhu reached out and grabbed it, the ground was broken, and the terrible thing was that the broken place spread like a plague, and new bubbles grew......

Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but take a step back, and Old Lady Cui trembled, and finally couldn't help screaming: "God...... Smallpox! ”

******

"Doctor, is my family research child hopeless?"

Since Song Yanzhu pretended to be sick last time, the old lady didn't trust Lin Yuanxiu very much, and this time she was afraid that Song Yanzhu would get tired again, so she specially invited another famous doctor surnamed Zhang in Jianzhou City to come for consultation. When Jin saw him come out, he hurriedly stepped forward and cried.

Because Mrs. Cui was frightened, Zhu Qizhen asked her to send her away first, but she stayed alone.

At this moment, Zhu Qizhen looked at Dr. Zhang with burning eyes.

Dr. Zhang said with infinite regret: "Smallpox has been an incurable disease since ancient times, and even if someone is cured, his face will scab and leave scars...... There are very few people in the world who can be cured, and there are very few people who do not leave future troubles after healing. ”

"Poor boy, how could he have smallpox!" Kim couldn't help but cry bitterly.

Yuan on the side said with relatives: "Smallpox is very contagious, my family once had an aunt who had smallpox, but she died in half a month...... Mother, the only way now is to move Yan'er out of the house as soon as possible! ”

"What did you say!" Kim pounced on her and wanted to hit her, "She's my daughter, who dares to touch her!" ”

Doctor Zhang hurriedly pulled her away and said to Zhu Qizhen seriously: "Your Royal Highness's daughter's body, it is indeed not suitable to stay in the mansion, it is better to leave as soon as possible." ”

"Doctor Yu from the Tai Hospital is also traveling with this king this time, if it doesn't work, let him come and see if he can help." Zhu Qizhen thought of the face he had just seen, and couldn't help but feel a little sick to his stomach.

When I went out, I saw a girl standing by the lotus pond from a distance, holding a handkerchief embroidered with bamboo with her head down, Zhu Qizhen suddenly stood still, only to see that the person was wearing a light cyan long skirt, covered with goose-yellow bikina, and his hair was combed into a flying fairy bun, and there was no hair ornament, only dotted with a begonia flower, the man cried in a low voice, and the sound of whimpering was intoxicating.

Zhu Qizhen hesitated for a moment, retreated from the person beside him, and quietly approached the girl, and smelled a faint fragrance of bamboo leaves.

Zhu Qizhen's heart suddenly moved, and he recalled that he also met Ruan Xiangzhu by the lotus pond that year...... Bamboo.

She has a bamboo character in her name, so she was born to love bamboo. Bamboo flute, bamboo leaf tea, any object with bamboo texture...... She even said that because Zhu Qizhen's surname is "Zhu", which is the same as "bamboo", they are destined to be a natural pair.

They were born a pair, but in the end they were separated by life and death.

Xiangzhu ......

Zhu Qizhen had a hint of swaying, approached, and blurted out, but the person suddenly raised his head, and the distant mountains and plum blossoms were ...... Even the looks are somewhat similar......

Who are you? Xiangzhu?

Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but grab her hand with his hand, Song Huanzhu lowered his head, pretended to be sad, and said softly: "Lord Wang......"

The faint fragrance came to his face, Zhu Qizhen was stunned for a moment, and finally found his gaffe, and said softly: "Miss Song? ”

Looking closely, Song Huanzhu was completely different from the last time she met, her expression was much gentler, and that little melancholy made her add a bit of charm. Zhu Qizhen couldn't see the change in her makeup, but felt that Song Huanzhu's charm and temperament in front of her were different from the previous time...... It was the three expressions of demeanor that seemed to have made him forget about the world around him, and time suddenly went backwards, and the person in front of him overlapped with his Xiangzhu, looking at him shyly and timidly, his eyes sparkling......

Xiangzhu ...... With a long sigh, his heart suddenly moved, and he took Song Huanzhu into his arms......

******

Song Yanzhu slept for a long time, and when he woke up, it was already bright and bright.

There was a fierce argument outside the house, and Yuan's voice was faintly heard: "Second brother and sister, you can't be unreasonable!" Yan'er's smallpox is not my fault, and it is not what I said to let her move out of the house, how can you blame me! Besides, if you don't let her move out, what can you do if she infects others! It's smallpox, not a side problem! ”

"She stays in her own room, how can she infect you!" Jin stopped in front of him and scolded angrily: "Don't deceive people too much, if you dare to touch her, don't blame me for being polite!" ”

"Doctor Yu is the doctor of the Tai Hospital, even he said that she had smallpox, and she didn't save her, do you know!" Yuan said loudly: "You can't be so selfish! There is also a pregnant woman in our house, what if the third brother and sister are infected with this disease, one corpse and two lives, can you afford this responsibility? ”
