152 father

"The moon is warm." After two days of excitement, Li Yuniang finally found an opportunity to talk to Zhu Yuenuan alone.

"Mother-in-law." Zhu Yuenuan was cleaning up in the kitchen, and looked up and smiled when she heard the shout.

"I have something to tell you." Li Yuniang stepped aside and looked at her, wanting to speak and stopping.

"What does my mother-in-law want to say?" Zhu Yuenuan scrubbed the rag in her hand neatly, dried it aside, turned to face Li Yuniang, and waited for the words behind.

"Tong'er has been going out early and returning late these days, and she is still staying in the study at night, is it because of what you said that day...... What about going to Qimen County? Li Yuniang thought about it and still asked, but it was different from the past, looking at Zhu Yuenuan's eyes with a hint of expectation, "Yuenuan, if Tong'er really doesn't agree, you can stay at home with me, okay?" ”

"Mother-in-law." Zhu Yuenuan was a little helpless, sighed and said, "I still say the same thing, this time, I have to go." ”

"Isn't it...... It's dangerous to go over there? Li Yuniang immediately asked anxiously, her eyes fixed on Zhu Yuenuan.

"No......" Zhu Yuenuan avoided her gaze and said with a smile, "It's just that I don't feel at ease, so many things have happened this year...... Anyway, I have to send him to a place to settle down, so that I can feel at ease. ”

"Also, he hasn't left me since he was a child, and these days, he's not at home, and I really haven't let go of my heart for a day." Li Yuniang's eyes turned red again as she spoke.

"Then, my mother-in-law doesn't object to me going with me, right?" Zhu Yuenuan's eyes lit up and asked hurriedly.

"I'm not against it, it's useless." Li Yuniang sighed, looked at Zhu Yuenuan and said, "Tong'er has been growing up since she was a child, looking at her gentle temperament, but there are some things. If he has a decision, it is useless for anyone to say, otherwise...... Don't mention the past, this time, he must feel sorry for you, the mountain is high and the road is far away, so he won't let you follow. Partially. You're right, this ......."

"As long as the mother-in-law doesn't object, the husband is there. You don't have to let him know. Zhu Yuenuan smiled slyly and said.

"What are you going to do?" Li Yuniang looked at her in surprise.

"...... like this" Zhu Yuenuan smiled, took the initiative to lean over, and leaned into Li Yuniang's ear. Speaking of whispering, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law for the first time. There is such a common topic.

"Will it work?" Li Yuniang listened, looked at Zhu Yuenuan and blinked suspiciously.

"Yes." Zhu Yue smiled skillfully and nodded affirmatively.

"Okay, then...... Try it! Li Yuniang gritted her teeth. Nodding in agreement.

In the following days, Chu Yitong was busy worshipping his ancestors, visiting his master, and dealing with the entertainment that he couldn't put away. Zhu Yuenuan and Li Yuniang were busy, busy setting up their new home. Busy choosing the Yahuan family.

At night, when Chu Yitong came back, Zhu Yuenuan had already fallen asleep, so he didn't bother and rested directly in the study.

Early in the morning, when Chu Yitong got up, Zhu Yuenuan and Li Yuniang had already gone out.

After three or four days, the two were under the same roof, but they didn't meet once.

On this day, Zhu Yuenuan and Li Yuniang bought the last batch of utensils and sent them to their new home, and on the way back, they met Zhu Yuexin.

Zhu Yuexin was a lot haggard, followed by Jin Cheng and the two little girl rings, Jin Cheng was holding Xiao Shumo in his hand, Xiao Shumo was about four months, but his neck seemed to be a little weak, so he shook a few times from time to time, and he didn't look old.

"Sister." Seeing Zhu Yuenuan, Zhu Yuexin's eyes were slightly red, and she bowed her head and blessed her and Li Yuniang, "Aunt in-law." ”

"Miss, Old Lady Chu." Jincheng hugged Xiao Shumo and saluted, but he also insisted on bending his knees.

"You talk, I'll go back first." Li Yuniang nodded with a smile and went home first.

"Sister, I'm ......" Zhu Yuexin looked at Zhu Yuenuan with a somewhat sad expression.

"Do you want to dye back the brocade workshop?" Zhu Yuenuan pressed her money bag and asked calmly.

"Well, my in-laws have gone out to find a way, and I will take Mo'er to live with my mother for a few days." Zhu Yuexin nodded, lowered her head and looked at her toes, the unsolvable sorrow between her eyebrows, her voice was slightly hoarse, she was still wearing a Confucian skirt, but her waist was becoming more and more slender, and the Confucian skirt was on her, and the whole body seemed to be much empty.

"Let's go together." Zhu Yuenuan pressed the money bag again, looked away, bit her lower lip slightly, and took the lead in front.

"Okay." Zhu Yuexin nodded and followed silently.

The two sisters walked to the brocade cloth dyeing workshop one after the other, and Jincheng quietly followed behind with the child and the two little maids.

There was nothing to say all the way, and it was not until she sat down in Yang Muping's house that Zhu Yuenuan opened her mouth and interrupted Yang Muping, who was hugging Xiao Shumo affectionately: "Jincheng, hug silently first." ”

Yang Muping was stunned, turned her head to look at Zhu Yuenuan, and handed the child to Jincheng.

The maids all withdrew, and only the mother and daughter were left in the house.

"Sister, those ...... Is it all true? Zhu Yuexin obviously got the news, and as soon as she opened her mouth, tears fell.

"Put away your tears." Zhu Yuenuan was indifferent, looked at her lightly, took out the letter of resignation that she had suppressed for several days from the money bag, and threw it on the table, "See for yourself, what kind of person you have chosen!" ”

"This ...... What is it? Zhu Yuexin looked at the paper, a little cowardly and didn't dare to stretch out her hand.

Yang Muping looked at her two daughters, reached out and picked up the paper first, unfolded it, and suddenly stood up in shock: "Leave the book!" ”

Zhu Yuexin's face suddenly turned pale, and she froze in place.

"Why is he!" Yang Muping angrily slapped the resignation book on the table.

Zhu Yuenuan sat calmly and looked at Zhu Yuexin opposite.

Zhu Yuexin stared at Yang Muping's hand in horror, and tears fell down her eyes.

"Well, such a ruthless and unrighteous person, we don't want him!" Yang Muping looked at Zhu Yuexin's appearance, distressed, and hugged Zhu Yuexin in the past to persuade her, but she couldn't stop crying, and said while crying, "You still have your father, let's not want him!" ”

Zhu Yuenuan lowered her eyes gloomily, and the fingers on the table moved, but she didn't say anything.

"Sister...... I'm sorry...... I'm sorry. Zhu Yuexin didn't ask anything, just leaned over the table and repeated a sentence.

"Xinnan, don't cry, don't cry, such a person is not worth ......" Yang Muping persuaded Zhu Yuexin, but she cried uncontrollably, and the cries of two women echoed in the room.

"You don't have anything to be sorry for me, it's him, and you're sorry for me." Zhu Yuenuan suddenly felt a little irritable, stood up, and said lightly, "It's just ...... Each has its own way to go. ”

With that, he opened the door and walked out.

Outside the door, Zhu Guangsheng stood there at some point, looking at the sky with his hands behind his back.

"Daddy." Zhu Yuenuan's footsteps paused slightly, turned around and walked over, standing side by side.

When Zhu Guangsheng heard this, he slowly withdrew his gaze and looked at her, as if he was scrutinizing, and it seemed that he was looking at a certain place through her, and after a while, he nodded: "Come to the study." ”

After speaking, he bowed his head and sighed, turned around and walked in front first.

Sitting down in the study, Zhu Guangsheng looked directly at Zhu Yuenuan, who was sitting opposite, and asked, "Shu Yaoqing, are you really involved?" ”

"I don't know." Zhu Yuenuan shook her head.

"Let's hear about the specifics." Zhu Guangsheng nodded and signaled that at this time, he was calm without a trace of anger.

The sunlight outside the window was reflected on the window paper, and the room was bright and dark, and it was the first time that the father and daughter faced each other like this, and it was also the first time that they had such a calm long conversation.

Zhu Yuenuan looked at him, was silent for a long time, and opened his mouth to describe all the things, without adding anything or omitting anything.

"Hmm." Zhu Guangsheng didn't nod until he finished listening, and he didn't make any judgments about Shu Yaoqing's matter, but only asked, "Do you know the situation in Qimen County?" ”

"I know, my uncle's study has a very detailed sand table, and I have written it down." Zhu Yuenuan nodded.

"Do you have to go?" Zhu Guangsheng stared at her and asked again.

"Yes." Zhu Yuenuan did not evade.

Zhu Guangsheng nodded: "Anything else, we can't help, Yu knows that there is no scholar by his side, although your grandfather recommended two masters, but in the end it was to assist in official affairs, this time, let Zhu Fu follow." ”

"Fauber?" Zhu Yuenuan looked at him in surprise, and asked hesitantly, "What about the brocade cloth dyeing workshop?" ”

"The business of the cloth mill can't be broken, you don't have to worry about it." Zhu Guangsheng waved his hand, "The situation in the gate is unknown, Yu Zhi is just a scholar in the end, so you are doing this...... You can't be without a competent person around you, Zhu Fu and I have been with me for more than 20 years, and my lifelong friendship will not harm you. ”

"......" Zhu Yuenuan was silent, and after a while, she got up and saluted, "Thank you, Dad......"

"Let's go back." Zhu Guangsheng waved his hand uncomfortably and got up.

"Daddy." Zhu Yuenuan got up and asked, "Do you know if there is a person named Wu Baihuai in our Chunjing Town?" ”

Zhu Guangsheng's footsteps just now suddenly stopped, turned around sharply to look at her eyes, and asked in a deep voice: "Wu Baihuai?" What did he do, you ask? ”

"Entrusted by Lord Wu." Zhu Yuenuan hurriedly explained, "Lord Wu's uncle had a little misunderstanding with his family when he was young, and later came to the Chunjing area, and he also served as a servant in the Yamen, and now it is estimated that there are about sixty-six, does my father know?" ”

Zhu Guangsheng turned his back and said lightly: "I know." ”

"And where is he now?" Zhu Yuenuan followed in surprise, but didn't find anything wrong with Zhu Guangsheng.

"Forty-two years ago, he left Chunjing Town, and his whereabouts are unknown, and now he ...... Life and death unknown. Zhu Guangsheng spoke very slowly, and the last few words almost popped out of his teeth.

"Huh?" Zhu Yuenuan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "What......'s that?" But someone knows his whereabouts. ”

"Forty-two years, not four years!" Zhu Guangsheng said in a deep voice, glanced at her, and said, "You replied to him directly, just say that there is no such person in Chunjing Town." ”

After saying that, he went out without looking back.

Zhu Yuenuan stood in the study in a daze, looked at Zhu Guangsheng's distant back, blinked in confusion, and muttered: "It was fine just now, why did it suddenly grow hairy again?" Did I say something wrong? (To be continued) R466
