Chapter 81: Hanging

Hong You took the small report written by Xing Zuo, and after reading it, he frowned and tore it.

Xing Zuo's movements were not as fast as Hong You's, and he only grabbed some scraps of paper as hard as he could, looking distressed, "What are you doing, that's to report to the prince!" ”

If this kid dies one day, he must be stupid. Hong You touched his head, "Good, come back with me to stand guard." ”

Now that the prince has arrived, he must have seen some things, and he is already in a bad mood, and you are still adding fuel to the fire, is it a long life!

Everything was gone, Xing Zuo had no choice but to follow Hong You, sighing as he walked, remembering what happened just now, he was even more sad, crying and pulling the corner of Hong You's clothes with a sad face, "What should I do if I was caught by the princess......

Hong You: ......

Lu Li walked in the direction of Xing's left point, and sure enough, he saw the Linjiang Teahouse soon. It's just that although the distance is not far, the crowd is too crowded, and he can't walk over for a while. left and right are not in a hurry, so he lets others go first, and walks slowly with the flow of people.

It is inevitable to rub shoulders with others. There were all kinds of people in the crowd, there were always some people who looked and smelled indecent, Lu Li exhaled, only worried that it would be too late to go back. Twilight has come, and Zhou Quan is afraid that he will come over to have a banquet with them.

He walked all the way, not noticing that he was an outlier in the crowd. A young man with a handsome appearance like a bright moon, with picturesque eyebrows and a smile on the corners of his mouth, alone and defenseless, it is inevitable that one or two people with bad intentions want to do the black. It's a pity that before these people's claws can reach out, there are stones flying from which direction they don't know, and the force is so great that it can simply discount people's wrist bones!

People naturally did not dare to move anymore after suffering a dark loss. As Lu Li walked, he gradually noticed that he often heard screams? Looking left and right and another qiē is normal, thinking that he is too careful. But after taking a few more steps, he felt a thorn in his back, as if someone was secretly watching him. He quickly turned around vigilantly, and the lanterns were blurred by the crowd, and he really couldn't see anything......

Lu Li's eyebrows are slightly slanted, maybe it's still an illusion?

Walking to the Linjiang Teahouse, before he stopped, Shen Wansha came over, "I'm scared to death young master, I thought you lost it!" ”

Lu Li forbeared, "Isn't it that the young master can't walk because of his dazzling eyes?" The reason he was reminded of his separation was because he was staring at a girl in a flaming red dress.

Shen Wan patted him sandily, "Go!" How could the young master be such a superficial person! It's just that the material on that girl's body is really strange, is the young master in business, and his focus is naturally different from yours. As if to hide his remorse, Shen Wansha pulled Lu Li and walked back, "Don't be happy, we have to go back quickly, maybe everything has arrived!" ”

Lu Li: ...... Who the hell is not happy?

The garden prepared for Lu Li and Shen Wansha is a single-door detached household, elegant and chic, so Zhou Quan didn't bother to put the banquet elsewhere, so the largest restaurant in the city sent a table of first-class tables, and set up a reception banquet in the small garden.

The small garden was originally a good view, but now there are lights hanging everywhere, orange light dots, extending from the corridor to the water pavilion, and with the warm spring breeze, refreshing flowers, the atmosphere is really beautiful.

The three of them are all young people, and there is no sense of distance when chatting, Shen Wansha is lively and active, thoughtful and friendly, and careful everywhere, both the host and guest of this meal are very satisfied.

Before Zhou Quan left, Shen Wansha told him about going to Baifu, and Zhou Quan responded with a smile, "Because my family and the Bai family only have business dealings, it is not a close relative, nor a good family, it is not good to go over early in the morning to cause people to be busy, after noon, I will come to pick you up again, and the two of you can rest." ”

"Thank you."

Shen Wansha and Lu Li sent Zhou Quan away, and you helped me to help you go to the room.

A good banquet will not be without wine, the wine brought by Zhou Quan is good, Shen Wansha drank a lot like a gluttonous cat, Lu Li knew that he had a bad amount of wine, so he only drank a little with him, but he really didn't touch his lips in the middle, but he didn't drink much.

Even so, the footsteps are a little floating.

He sent Shen Wansha back to the room first, and when Shen Wansha fell on the soft mattress, he pinched Lu Li's face, his eyes lit up, "It can be regarded as raising your meat back, but the young master has been in a hurry for more than a month......"

Is this saying that you are fat?

Lu Li looked at his hand and subconsciously touched his face, it's okay......

Shen Wansha pushed him, "You go back to sleep quickly, there is something to do tomorrow...... Young Master......" He couldn't help but yawn, "Young Master is so sleepy." ”

It's not too drunk yet.

Lu Li asked his subordinates to clean his hands and face and wait for him to rest, and then went back to his room.

Although he was not drunk, he always felt very tired, so he forced himself to finish washing, climbed into bed and fell asleep.

He slept very deeply, and he didn't know that the window was closed, and a slender figure came out of the moonlight and stopped in front of him.

Zhao Shu frowned and looked at the young man on the bed, his eyes were dark, and his fists were clenched.

That night was so ridiculous that he didn't want to remember, but he remembered the young gaze, he didn't lie to himself, he was telling the truth, he really didn't like himself.

He is on fire, squandering his spirit, doing things without sleep, pressing himself with high-intensity work, and the figure of a teenager still appears in his mind from time to time. It seems that unconsciously, the boy planted a seed in his heart, slowly sprouted and slowly grew, and arched out from time to time to remind him of its existence. It can't be destroyed, it can't be forgotten.

After a crazy month, his subordinates finally couldn't stand it anymore, and his body was tired to the limit, and he realized that this would not work.

He Zhao Zhu grew up in the wind, thunder and blood, and he was afraid of something for more than 20 years, how could he be defeated by a little kid!

He decided to come back, and take back the humiliation he received from here!

The night he made the decision, he had a good night's sleep, and the next day he was refreshed and thought it was the right decision.

Lu Li humiliated him, saying that he was self-inflicted, blind and dark-hearted, and he didn't like himself at all, so he would ...... Let him like himself!

As long as he likes himself, he is not wrong!

Imagining a certain day in a certain year, the full moon was flowered, and the young man confessed to himself shyly, Zhao Shu felt his blood boiling. On that day, he must have asked him very arrogantly and disdainfully, don't you dislike me?

Fingers poked out, subconsciously worried about startling the person in his sleep, Zhao Zhu's movements were particularly light, slowly sliding over the smooth forehead, clear eyebrows and eyes, and elastic cheeks......

I talk and laugh with everyone, I don't know that there is danger around me, I never talk about myself, and I have gained weight!

Completely forget about yourself, and live a good life, it's really unconscionable......

Zhao Zhu rubbed the young man's lips a little harder.

Lu Li let out a soft 'um' sound, I don't know if he felt disturbed, and put his hand over.

Zhao Shu was stunned, and the clouds in his slender eyes rolled.

The rose-colored lips under the fingertips are slightly warm, the small hands on the back of the hands are slightly cool, and the palms are smooth and soft......

At this moment, my heart was beating a little fast.

Zhao Shu held that hand with his backhand, a familiar feeling came to him, and his face was slightly softened. The bottom of my heart seems to be soaked in a warm and sweet spring, quiet and serene, and the years seem to be as quiet as flowers...... People are reluctant to let go.

On the second day, Lu Li woke up in the morning, felt that his arm was a little sore, and thought that he had accidentally pressed it while sleeping, and he didn't know that he was forced to be held by someone for most of the night, and he didn't change his posture.

Shen Wansha got up and sent Zhang Luo to the ceremony of Baifu, since he was going, etiquette should not be lacking.

After noon, Zhou Quan came to pick them up, and in less than two hours, they arrived at Bai Mingtao's house.

Bai Mingtao is a foreign officer, the clan is not in Xingyuan, the time is too short, the clansmen have not had time to come over, most of the people who are helping here wear black yarn, and there are few people who wear filial piety, Lu Li guessed that this person's popularity must be good.

Dai Xiao thanked him in front of the spirit, one was a boy of fifteen or sixteen, and the other was a boy of five or six years old, probably the son of Bai Mingtao, and there were no girls. In this era, the etiquette system has a lot of requirements for women, and the girls are probably filial piety in the inner hall, Lu Li is not surprised, but the two children are here, why is the housemother not there?

Just when Zhou Quan came back, he whispered to them, "I heard that Mrs. Bai was too mournful, and she finally couldn't stand it for two days, and after thanking the guests this morning, I was persuaded to go back to the room to rest." ”

Shen Wansha sighed, "I see." ”

The mourning hall was laid out in a very regular and solemn manner, but within three days, the coffin lid had been closed, so that no one could see the remains of the deceased," ...... But why? Lu Li asked.

Zhou Quan replied in a low voice, "Lord Fu Yin was accidentally trampled to death by a horse when he went out, and the body was indecent, and the housekeeper said that in order to avoid frightening the visitors, he covered the coffin first." And now that the weather is getting hotter, the damaged body needs to be put into the ground, and it will be buried in about five days. ”

"So fast?" Shen Wansha also thought of a possibility, "Isn't the burial custom here a hanging coffin, how can Master Bai be buried?" ”

Lu Li reminded him, "Master Bai is not a local, and even if he follows local rituals, he will be buried for three years before he hangs his coffin." ”

Shen Wansha slapped his head, "I forgot!" ”

The deceased had been offered incense and laid a funeral, and it was reasonable for the host to thank him, but it was past noon, and it was not good to entertain the meal, so the steward invited the three people to serve refreshments in the hall next to them.

Bai Mingtao was a mansion Yin before his death, and his social circle must not be small, and the lights are out, and there are many people who are willing to come to send it off, so even at this hour, there are many people in the hall, and most of them are local people with heads and faces.

At this time, it is even more time to play a thorough role, he told Lu Li and Shen Wansha a few words, and then went over to dance with long sleeves. Lu Li and Shen Wansha walked in the garden together, wanting to see if there were any noteworthy personnel, or by chance they met the servants of the world to inquire about some news.

But after a long time, there was no harvest, and both of them were a little wilted.

"Madame hanged! Madame hanged! ”

The silence was broken by a sudden scream, which seemed not too far away.

"Ma'am?" Shen Wansha was a little dazed.

Lu Li was stunned for a moment, then suddenly pulled up Shen Wansha and ran in the direction where the voice came from, "Mrs. Fu Yin!" ”

Bai Mingtao is a foreign officer, only his wife and children have no parents around him, in this family, there is probably only Mrs. Bai who can be called Mrs.!

Sure enough, it was very close, and when I walked out of the east corner of the garden, I saw the figure in front of the small courtyard moving in a panic. When Lu Li dragged Shen Wansha all the way there, there were not too many people gathered over.

The courtyard door was wide open, the door was wide open, Lu Li quickly walked into the room, only to see a plain white silk through the beam, and a woman wearing a plain white shirt hung on it. Xu was too frightened, and several maids stood aside tremblingly, and no one dared to go over and put people down.

Lu Li felt unprecedentedly uncomfortable. got the news from his parents and rushed over after a long journey, and Bai Mingtao died; was about to figure out how to meet his wife or old servant, and ask about the events of the year, and Mrs. Bai also hanged herself.

It was as if there was something stopping him.

It's one thing to be ignorant and unwilling, but you put in your own efforts to find an answer, but it ended like this, and Lu Li was unwilling.

His eyes flashed slightly, and he grabbed the maid on the side, "When did Madam hang herself?" ”

"No, I don't know," said the maid, whose voice trembled a little, "when the hour was first entertaining, the lady almost fainted, and the ladies who came to help her persuaded her to rest, and when she lay down, she said that she wanted to sleep well, and told her not to disturb her, and the slaves and maids did not dare to move. Just now a cat was naughty and broke into the window, and the slave went to catch up, only to see Mrs. her...... She ......"

The maid wiped her tears with a handkerchief. It is said that she shouldn't have said this to the living, but she felt that the young man had a good face, and for a while, the six gods were complicated, so she subconsciously said it.

Lu Li's gaze swept over the room.

The windows were open, the veil fluttered, and the doors ...... According to the maid's words, it was just opened. There was a faint soothing fragrance wafting in the room, the objects were neatly arranged, the bed was slightly messy, and there were no traces of struggle. But the hanged man was dressed only in plain white underwear and no shoes......

Lu Li quickly observed the surroundings, circled around Mrs. Bai, and touched Mrs. Bai's hand.

It's cool.

"Come, let's take Madame down together." Lu Li greeted his mother-in-law.

It's so messy, and there is no backbone, and everyone in the room is scared stupid. Now that the housekeeper and the eldest young master haven't come, it's not bad that someone is willing to help. And they are all Madame's subordinates, how can they watch Madame hang on it all the time!

Two bold mothers-in-law came over, hugged Mrs. Bai's legs, and lifted them up.

"Be careful, be careful......"

Lu Li reminded and watched the mother-in-law and maid take the person down and carry him back to the bed.

"Oh, mother-" The maid who helped suddenly bounced up and jumped out, as if she had been frightened by something.

"What's wrong, Xiaoyu?"

The maid exclaimed, "Madame's heart is still hot!" ”

A mother-in-law dared to probe out, "It's just a little warm, it's not cold yet, don't make a fuss about you, kid." It's better to inform the eldest young master first, the lady has passed away, so hurry up and pack up and get dressed. ”

Lu Li suddenly stretched out his hand to stop, "No, Madam is still alive." ”

He remembered that there were many life-saving remedies in the record of clearing grievances, and there was also a one about hanging. Modern appraisal says that this method is not scientific, but Song Ti can write like that, he must have saved people in that way, and now that he has a chance, no matter how low the probability is, he has to give it a try!

"I can save her!" Tricks
