Chapter 74: Fate

Chu Yiyao left the dilapidated house, went to the two bungalows on the side and asked, and learned that the second brother had only lived here with the mandarin duck for half a month, and then returned to the dilapidated house, the mandarin duck was still in that corner, counting his fingers as if no one was around, which was completely different from the Oiran seen in the spring building in the past.

"Miss, aren't we going to take the second young master back?" The peacock followed her and left the alley, it was still so cold now, the second young master would definitely be sick if he stayed in such a place, how could he have suffered like this.

"He's not lame or paralyzed, why do you want us to pick him up, isn't it important for him to let him in at the gate of the Chu family." Chu Yiyao regained his expression and said coldly, "He didn't want to go back, so he forced him not to use it." ”

Out of the alley, Ah Chuan was waiting there in a carriage, Chu Yiyao looked around, and said to Ah Chuan, "You go to the vicinity of the Cao family to inquire if there is something wrong with the concubine of the third son of the Cao family, just inquire carefully about this month's affairs." ”

Ah Chuan drove Chu Yiyao to the door of the jewelry shop in Nantang Market and left, Chu Yiyao took the peacock to visit a few houses, and when he came out, it was already evening, and the sky was a little dark.

Chu Yiyao was slightly stunned and looked at the person passing by with a small cart on the opposite side, there were several bags of heavy objects on the cart, and the person pushed hard, his body bent.

"Miss." The peacock shouted worriedly, Chu Yiyao came back to his senses, lowered his head to remove the strangeness in his eyes, waited for the coachman to pick him up, and didn't say anything all the way back.

Three days later, Ah Chuan heard some news and came back to tell Chu Yiyao that half a month ago, several of Cao Jinrong's concubines were kicked out of the Cao family, and the man said that he saw the three concubines who were kicked out of the Cao family, two of them were picked up, and one was wandering on the road for a while.

"In this way, when I drove out of the Cao family, I went crazy." Chu Yiyao nodded, and Ah Chuan said again, "The day before he was kicked out of Cao's house, Gongzi Cao invited some guests to Cao's house to play, and it is said that he spent the night at Cao's house, and no one came out at night. ”

Thinking about it, Chu Yiyao suddenly understood what the reason for Cao Jinrong to find so many concubines was, the mandarin duck was crazy in the Cao Mansion, and she could meet the second brother after being kicked out of the Cao Mansion, her luck was really good.

"You can find the two concubines who have been kicked out, and see what you can learn from them." Chu Yiyao told Baosheng to get some silver for Ah Chuan, and he could always buy some news with some money.

"Miss, have you found the young master?" Ah Chuan hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but ask.

"It seems that you already knew that the second young master had returned to Jinling." Chu Yiyao knew that Ah Chuan was loyal to his second brother, and the master and servant might have met a long time ago.

"Miss Twenty-Eight came back from the trading house, and I saw the second young master near the door of Chu's house, but I haven't seen it since." Ah Chuan shook his head, he had only seen the second young master that night.

Chu Yiyao waved her hand to let Ah Chuan go down, what if she didn't see it, what if she saw it, she and this Chu family didn't have as high a status in the second brother's mind, even if she was crazy. He didn't want to wake up, what was the use of her screaming...

In March, the spring flowers bloomed, Chu Yiyao, who had not been out for a long time, was taken to Xiangshan by Qiao Cong'an, Qiao Cong'an's purpose was also very clear, and took her to the marriage temple on Xiangshan to ask for a signature, Chu Yiyao couldn't shirk it, and Qian's mother persuaded her, so she could only follow.

Huaishan drove them over, and when they arrived at the foot of Xiangshan Mountain, there was no need for Qiao Cong'an to say, Chu Yingzhu relied on Huaishan, saying that he would not follow them up the mountain to anything, so he would play at the foot of the mountain.

"Ying Zhu, then you can play with your uncle here, and your aunt and your mother will come down soon." Chu Yiyao pinched Chu Yingzhu's face and followed Qiao Cong'an up the mountain.

In fact, there is a way to go to the halfway point of Xiangshan Mountain, but if you come to ask for marriage, you pay attention to a piety, and few people will take the carriage directly to the halfway up the mountain.

There were a lot of people along the way like them, and after entering the marriage temple, Qiao Cong'an took her to worship the three Buddha statues before letting her ask for a signature, and after getting the signature, he directly pulled her to find the marriage master who unsigned.

Regardless of whether she wanted to ask for it or not, maybe it was fate, Chu Yiyao still saw the marriage master, Qiao Cong'an respectfully handed him the signature, the master looked at it, and then glanced at Chu Yiyao, but never started to write.

"This young lady, please come closer and let the poor monk take a look." After a long time, the marriage master beckoned to Chu Yiyao and kindly motioned her to come closer.

Chu Yiyao took two steps closer, and the master raised his eyes to look at her face, then picked up the pen and wrote a few words on the red paper and handed the red words to Chu Yiyao, "Donor, go slowly." ”

Out of the pavilion, Chu Yiyao opened the red paper, and only one sentence was written on it: At the same time, there is a destined person.

Many people will write words of wealth and nobility on their signatures, or words to announce the good or bad marriage, but Chu Yiyao's sentence of unsigning is really a little confusing, what she is asking for is marriage.

"The lottery is signed, and it's not a bad thing to think about coming here." Qiao Cong'an touched her hand, folded the red paper and put it into the brocade cloth bag she begged for in the temple, and said softly in her hand.

Chu Yiyao held the bag and was silent, the signature in the previous life was also signed, and if it can be unsigned, it is true: the initial marriage has changed, and it is difficult to conserve marriage. It is confirmed that Brother Cheng married his cousin, and she married into the Yan family and did not die well, and now who is this destined person...

At the foot of the mountain, Huai Shan took Chu Yingzhu to rest on the side of the carriage, and a lot of tender grass grew on the small hillside on the side of the path, Chu Yingzhu was held by Huai Shan by a hand, carefully stepped on the wall of the small hillside, and occasionally squatted □ to play with the spiky flowers and plants.

"This is for the uncle." I don't know where Chu Yingzhu found a few small stones, and there were some mud, Chu Yingzhu picked up one of them and stuffed it into Huaishan's hand with a slightly red cheek.

Huai Shan was stunned for a moment, there was a cold stone in his hand, Chu Yingzhu in front of him was looking at him with wide eyes, his little face was flushed, and before he could react, Chu Yingzhu motioned for him to spread out his other hand, picked up the rest of the stones and put them in his palm, while saying, "This is for my aunt, this is for my mother, and this is for my second uncle." When Chu Duyuan was mentioned, Chu Yingzhu's little hand stopped there and muttered, "I haven't seen the second uncle for a long time." ”

"Come~" Huai Shan grabbed the stones and picked him up, carried him to the carriage, and found a handkerchief to wipe his hands, Chu Yingzhu struggled to wipe the stones first, Huai Shan found another one to pick up all the stones for him, and Chu Yingzhu sat there obediently and let him wipe his hands.

"You miss your second uncle, so do you want your father?" Huai Shan watched him hold the stones, counted them like a baby, and finally picked out one and stuffed it back into his hand, and asked funny by touching his head.

"Yes." Chu Yingzhu nodded, and quickly shook his head again, "I don't want to." ”

"Why not." Huaishan was afraid that he would be cold sitting on the edge of the car, so he took him into his arms, leaned on the car and asked softly, Chu Yingzhu reached out and touched his beard, with some reluctance on his face, "I don't remember what my father looks like, my mother said that he will never come back, so I don't want to." ”

"Your mother told you your dad would never come back?" Huai Shan was slightly surprised that Ah Ling told the child about this so early, Chu Yingzhu nodded, looked back at him, and his eyes were still full of beard, "Mother said, Daddy went to take care of our grandfather and grandmother for us." ”

The innocent answer made Huaishan feel even more distressed, he hugged Chu Yingzhu and touched his head and promised, "Uncle will take care of you and your mother for your father, and will always accompany you, okay?" ”

"Why does uncle take care of me and my mother for my father." Chu Yingzhu nodded happily, and at the end he didn't understand his words.

"Because Uncle is your uncle, a relative of you and your mother." Huai Shan pinched his nose and smiled, Chu Yingzhu suddenly stood up, stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around Huai Shan's neck, leaned over and stuck his head on Huai Shan's neck, the beard on his face hurt Chu Yingzhu's forehead, Chu Yingzhu rubbed a few times uncomfortably, and said softly to his ear, "My mother and I, as well as my aunt, are also uncle's relatives." ”

A warm current flowed through Huaishan's body, instantly warming his heart, he was a little helpless and wanted to reach out to hug him, but suddenly he didn't know how to do it, and finally just stretched out one hand to hug him, and the other hand gently patted his back.

After half a ring, Chu Yingzhu let go of him, stood in the car and looked at him, grinned, pointed to his chin and touched his forehead, and said embarrassedly, "Uncle's beard is prickly." ”

Huai Shan made a gesture to lean towards him, Chu Yingzhu hurriedly hid in the carriage, Huai Shan grabbed him and pulled him into his arms and hugged him, lowered his head and rubbed his face with a beard full of chin, Chu Yingzhu said no, giggling at the same time, so unhappy.

Qiao Cong'an and Chu Yiyao, who were going down the mountain, just saw this scene, Huai Shan was holding Chu Yingzhu in the carriage, Chu Yingzhu was smiling very happily, holding his neck with one hand, and constantly pushing away Huai Shan's face with the other hand.

A touch of complexity flashed in Qiao Cong'an's eyes, looking at Huai Shan, who was playing with his son, and remembered what Yiyao said, Ying Zhu's growth is indispensable to the existence of such a father, and now there is a person who can take the place of the eldest brother, why stop it.

Chu Yiyao glanced back at her, smiled and grabbed her arm and walked towards the carriage, "Sister-in-law, let's go back quickly, I'm hungry!" ”

Qiao Cong'an laughed, he walked so slowly when he just came down the mountain, and now he started to hurry.

"Ying Zhu, do you miss your aunt?" Chu Yiyao picked up Chu Yingzhu and took Huaishan's hand, and got into the carriage directly, and forgot to pull Qiao Cong'an, who was still outside the car, to pull the handle, and played a game of finding stones with Chu Yingzhu in the carriage.

Qiao Cong'an outside the car was embarrassed, neither of them took a maid when they went out today, thinking that they would come and go quickly, after a morning's work, they didn't expect that there would be such a problem at this juncture.

"I'll help you up." Qiao Cong'an was embarrassed to pull up the hem of his skirt and was about to go up, when the voice of Huai Shan sounded in his ears.

Qiao Cong'an turned around, Huai Shan was looking at her with a slight bow, with a smile in his eyes, reached out to her, and motioned for her to hold his hand and get into the car.
