Chapter 33 The lotus lantern makes a wish

Because of the last accident, Li Gui, the housekeeper of the Lun family, was scolded by Lun Wanjian to the point of blood. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoOriginally, their plan was to send two martial artists, one of whom went to pretend to pounce on Xuezhao, and with the character of Lun Shizhu, he would sacrifice his life to save him. But Lun Shizhu has no martial arts, this martial artist just needs to greet him casually and make an appearance. The other went straight inside the house, looking for Na Yaoqin's hiding place.

The martial artist who was sent to attack Xue Zhao was rough and strong, and he had no brains, and when he rushed forward, he was unexpectedly stabbed in the abdomen by the dagger that Xue Zhao hid on his body, and he immediately lost his mind, and slapped his palm on Lun Shizhu, who was holding him from behind, ruining the plan. But the other person, in addition to martial arts, is also very shrewd, he is the extremely fast master Canglan who is sent every time.

Canglan entered the inner room and rummaged around, but he found that the old butler and the old woman did not come up to stop him, but looked at him in a daze from behind. When he changed his strategy and threw himself on the bed, the old butler suddenly rushed up and hugged him vigorously, an action that undoubtedly revealed what they wanted to hide. But when he was about to attack, he suddenly heard another martial artist outside screaming in pain, and he had a premonition that something was wrong, so he quickly ran out of the door and quickly fled with the injured martial artist.

So this time, Lun Wanjian and Li Gui's plan had both gains and losses. What he gained was that Canglan made an unexpected discovery, and what he lost was that Lun Shizhu was seriously injured.

After they fled back in a hurry, Lun Wanjian and his wife quickly rushed to Xuezhao's courtyard, and invited the doctor Xuan Yihe, who had been dealing with the Lun family for many years. Xuan Yihe prescribed medicine to Lun Shizhu and instructed Lun Shizhu to recuperate.

Li Gui was going to be expelled from the Lun family by the angry Lun Wanjian, but after all, he had been with Lun Wanjian for more than ten years, and he had a lot of ideas before and after the saddle, which was also considered hard work, and the last time he missed his hand, because the martial artist sent was ignorant and rude, it was a big deal, and Li Gui couldn't be blamed on it, and finally Lun Wanjian fined him half a year's salary as punishment.

In order to atone for his sins, Li Gui came up with another idea for Lun Wanjian. He knew that Lin Xiuyuan had brought back Fengwei Qi from Lingshan, and seeing that Yu Xuezhao had taken care of Lun Shizhu wholeheartedly after the incident, he thought of a way to let Xuan Yihe come forward, and forced Yu Xuezhao to go to Lin Xiuyuan for medicine on the grounds that Lun Shizhu could not be cured without Fengwei Qi.

Lun Wanjian thought about it again and again, and felt that Li Gui's idea was feasible. So he secretly gave Xuan Yihe a lot of silver taels and asked him to tell Xue Zhao like this.

Yu Xuezhao really went to ask Lin Xiuyuan for medicine, and Lun Wanjian was secretly happy, but the result was a big disappointment - Yu Xuezhao returned empty-handed. Lun Wanjian and they had always suspected that the person who secretly protected Yu Xuezhao was sent by Lin Xiuyuan, but what happened this time made them doubt their previous speculation, maybe Lin Xiuyuan didn't attach so much importance to Xuezhao. Then they can only wait for the next step, Yu Xuezhao and Lun Shizhu get closer and closer, and completely cut off contact with Lin Xiuyuan, and then they can start again, and it will be as easy as finding the Yaoqin left by Yu Qingyuan.

After returning from Tonghetang, Xue Zhao did not see Lin Xiuyuan again, but took care of Lun Shizhu every day. Lun Shizhu's body is also slowly recovering, his smile is on his face all day, this time is the happiest time since he met Xuezhao.

In a few days it will be the Midyear Festival, which is another important festival after Chinese New Year's Eve. On this day, Xue Zhao helped Cang Shizhu to take a slow walk in the yard. The sun shone on the side of Cang Shizhu's face, and his face was a little more bloody and ruddy than before, and his mood was much better. He held Xue Zhao's arm while smiling and asked her, "How did you spend the Midyear Festival?" ”

Xue Zhao was in a trance, and when he asked, he was stunned for a while and said, "Me? Worship ancestors and put river lanterns. ”

Cang Shizhu said, "At noon on the day of the Midyear Festival, I will go back to worship my ancestors with my father, and come back in the evening to accompany you to put the river lantern." ”

Xue Zhao said, "It's windy by the river, you're not in good health, come back and have a good rest." ”

Cang Shizhu said, "Okay." In the future, I will accompany you on every festival. ”

Xue Zhao lowered her head, her heart was sour, but she couldn't say anything to refuse.

Cang Shizhu said, "When I was young, every Midyear Festival, my younger brother and I also put river lanterns with our mother, and we used paper to tie lotus lanterns, goldfish lanterns, little ghost lanterns, Guanyin lanterns, and ingots lanterns, and put them into the river from the boat, and the river lanterns went down the river, and the whole river was like a brocade full of jewels. . . . After that, it was never again. ”

Xue Zhao asked with some surprise, "Your brother he... What's wrong? ”

Cang Shizhu was silent, and said for a long time, "He had an incurable disease and died half a year ago." ”

Xue Zhao was silent for a while when he heard this, and said, "That Cang Gongzi should take care of his body even more, so that the Zun Ling Hall can rest assured." ”

Cang Shizhu nodded, and he said, "My father only hopes that I can go to high school and let our family get rid of the merchant family and embark on the road of eunuchs, so I have been accompanied by poetry and books since I was a child, and even if there are some unsatisfactory things, I can only sue them." ”

Xue Zhao asked, "What's unsatisfactory about Canggongzi?" Can you tell Xue Zhao about it? ”

Cang Shizhu said, "I also want to be like my younger brother from a young age without being constrained, and I don't have to carry heavy responsibilities, and I can do whatever I want." He said and stopped, turned to look at Xue Zhao steadily, and said seriously, "Just like now, I want to be with you, without caring about anyone's thoughts, as long as you are willing to be with me." ”

Xue Zhao said softly, "I can't do the big thing in my life. ”

Cang Shizhu said, "My father agreed, but I was always very uneasy in my heart, feeling that something bad was going to happen. ”

Xue Zhao comforted him and said, "You've been overthinking lately, I'll accompany you to go outside in a few days, and you'll be fine." ”

Cang Shizhu looked at her and smiled softly and nodded.

On the day of the Midyear Festival, Xue Zhao got up early in the morning and made a few lotus lanterns with Min Po. Min Po said, "Miss, you can make a few wishes, write them on silk cloth, put them in the lamp, and the old lady will see it in the spirit of heaven and will definitely bless you." ”

Xue Zhao listened, smiled lightly, and said, "Really? It was as if she hadn't laughed so easily for a long time, as if she had gone back to when she was a child, and she also made lotus lanterns with Min Po, and then wrote her little wishes on paper or silk cloth, and then put them into the lamp. When the lights were put on at night, lotus lanterns flowed down the river, carrying her small wishes, drifting farther and farther.

When Min Po heard this, she reached out and scratched her little nose just like Xue Zhao did every time she asked her when she was a child, "Of course! ”

Xue Zhao was happy again, she took out a few small pieces of paper, ran to the bookcase, picked up the pen, and the smile on her face gradually disappeared when she wanted to write. She found that all the desires that came out of her heart were related to him. It seems that a long time has passed, and she tries her best to bury all the memories about him deep in her heart, but once she recalls it, everything seems to have happened yesterday, vividly, what is it... Can we forget?
