Chapter Seventy-One: A Visit to the Zou Mansion

Recently, the Tang Mansion can be regarded as a mixed blessing. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

On the one hand, Tang Yuanwai and Mrs. Tang were busy with the marriage after a few days, and they couldn't get along, and Tang Yuanwai had naturally made a wide range of contacts in business for several years, so just the invitation had to be busy for a while. Although the banquet is all in charge of the Hou Mansion, according to the law of Shengge, if the married daughter also puts on a banquet for a few days, it can be regarded as a demonstration of pomp and grace, which is a proud event.

On the other hand, Tang Guxi is getting thinner and thinner day by day at home. She locked herself in her room, cried and made trouble, but it was all useless. Recently, I don't think about tea and dinner, and I don't say much, and I don't pay attention to anyone except Yuming. This time, Mrs. Tang and Tang Yuanwai did not let her mess around, but completely indifferent to her, except for arranging for Jinxun to come to deliver food every day to take care of her, they didn't even come to the West Wing to take a look.

Yuming cried every time and said, "This time, the lord and the lady seem to be iron-hearted......"

Tang Guxi also knew that there was really nothing to be done, and she resented that Jinxun for not telling her about her parents' schemes. But then again, Jin Xun is the person next to his wife, so he naturally listens to his mother everywhere. If you want to say that the most accessible person, there is really no one else except Yuming.

But recently, when she looked at Yuming, she always felt that she was also preoccupied. Yu Ming has been by her side for several years, she has always been a simple and straightforward person, and she can't hide any square circle in her heart, so she is full of doubts, and grabs her several times to ask what is going on, but Yu Ming always covers left and right, and can't say anything.

For this reason, Tang Guxi was angry for a while, and then he stopped doing it.

And what Yu Ming really worried about was just that once Fang Yue came to the Tang Mansion and took the opportunity to send a congratulatory gift for Mr. Zou, he secretly told Yu Ming something that he didn't know whether it was big or small.

Fang Yue once said that once when he was decocting the medicine and serving it to Chen Gongzi, he heard Mr. Zou and Chen Gongzi talking about Miss Tang outside the door, saying that Miss Tang was going to fly away soon. At first, he was only talking about marriage, but when he was about to enter the door, he suddenly heard Mr. Zou talk about what happened after Miss Tang left Shengge. So he wondered in his heart, isn't the Hou Mansion a grand song? How can it be pulled into a foreign country?

After all, Fang Yue was young and didn't care more, so he thought that Miss Tang was going to escape to another country, so he came to ask Yuming. Who knew that Yuming vetoed it, and said that the young lady had been grounded for more than a month, not to mention running away from marriage, even if she took a step out of this Tang Mansion, it would be even more difficult!

After the two discussed, they made an agreement not to tell anyone about the matter, so as not to cause trouble for Miss Tang and Chen Gongzi. Fortunately, both of them were loyal people, so they firmly sealed their mouths and did not say anything to anyone. Yu Ming wanted to tell Tang Guxi several times, but lest she publicize the matter, it would not only be the lady and the lord who would be alarmed, Fang Yue and her, I am afraid that they will all be punished.

She herself is not afraid of being punished, but she is afraid that Mr. Zou's reputation will be ruined, and then the old man will be angry and it will not be good to question Mr. Zou. Yuming respects her master as much as Tang Guxi, so she naturally refuses to act recklessly, besides, Mr. will not harm Miss after all, and she doesn't have to worry about it. Second, she didn't want Fang Yue to be implicated, so she put up with the matter.

But if she didn't say it, Yuming felt guilty in her heart and couldn't sleep well. Since she was a child, she has not hidden one thing from Miss, but at the most critical moment, Miss's life's event, she kept silent and resigned. Therefore, in the past few days, it is not only Tang Guxi who has become emaciated and haggard, but also Yuming, who has hidden his thoughts.

Seeing that the wedding day was imminent, the Tang Mansion became more and more lively, and Lin Luo and Lin Xun were also making thoughtful plans and plans.

The two of them have already thought about it, in fact, there are many reasons for Tang Guxi to leave Shengge: she has no sincerity to Gongsun Rong, and she wants to learn swords with the two of them.

However, there are many conditions that prevent her from leaving: filial piety and concern for her parents is one thing, worry about Chen Bingfeng is the second, and the determination to leave her homeland is the third. Among these three items, worrying about parents must be unchangeable, and you can only depend on luck when the time comes; and it is difficult to make up her mind to leave the "old country", it depends on how she views this long trip with the two of them; Only Chen Bingfeng's worries and concerns are crucial.

After thinking about it again and again, the two of them decided that it would be better to take a trip to this Zou house.

The first time they came to Zou's house, Lin Luo and the others inquired for a long time before finding Mr. Zou's residence. I saw that this place is far away from the downtown of Linqing, but it is not poor and simple, everything is elegant and clean, regular and simple. Bamboo branches and leaves are exposed high in the courtyard wall, and this quiet and fragrant environment adds a bit of special and elegance to this simple house.

The two knocked on the door of the Zou house, and after a while, they saw a little boy running to open the door, the little boy looked at the young face, simple clothes, but after seeing the two of them, he was not surprised, and did not ask who came, but polite, a modest look, opened the door and asked inside: "Two distinguished guests, please come in with me." ”

Lin Luo and Lin Xun were stunned for a moment, knowing that they had found the right place, the two looked at each other, did not speak, and followed the little boy in. It seems that Mr. Zou knew that they were coming, so he reminded his subordinates that they could open the door and invite them in directly.

After entering the corridor, they turned a corner and walked into a small courtyard. The two found that this place was very similar to some of the scenery they saw when they visited the Tang Mansion before, but in comparison, the Zou Mansion lacked a lot of colorful colors of flowers and bonsai, not as enchanting and lively as the Tang Mansion, but more dark green and cyan in the eyes, but a clean and quiet meaning.

"Two, don't come unharmed."

After coming to the small courtyard, I saw a bamboo shadow in the courtyard, and an old man with white beard and silver hair stood in the courtyard, with his back to them, playing with something in his hands.

Lin Luo and Lin Xun glanced at each other, then saluted the old man and said respectfully: "Senior." ”

Zou Li still didn't turn around, but continued to play with the things in his hand with interest, and after a while, he only heard him say, "Mi'er, go, go." Then he saw a snow-white dove fly up from his bosom, and after a few spins, it flew out of the wall, and after a few chirps, it flew away, and disappeared under the clear sky.

"Fang Yue, go down, go and see if Childe's medicine is ready." Zou Li turned around, waved his sleeves, and said to the little boy.

Xiao Tong hurriedly responded, and after he left, Zou Li moved his eyes to the two of them, stared at them for a moment, and then walked over and said: "Returning from the north, the two of you seem to have lost a little weight, it seems that this journey can be described as bumpy and difficult." What was shipped, but all delivered? ”

"I'm tired of worrying about my predecessors, but everything has been done properly." Lin Luo Road.

"Hmm." Zou Li smiled and nodded, "That'...... How many days are you going to go? ”

"This ......" Lin Luo hesitated.

"Seniors, the key now is not when we leave, but ...... It's that the Tang Mansion is tightly guarded, the door is closed, and there is no wind at all. Lin Xun said, "Don't say that Miss Tang is coming out, even if you fly a fly in, it's as difficult as climbing to the sky!" ”

"Hahaha." Zou Li laughed heartily when he heard this, and nodded his head and said, "Yes, yes, it makes sense." ”

"Yes, the seniors are only a few alleys away from the Tang Mansion, this matter...... Naturally, I already knew. Lin Xun's expression was a little gloomy, he sighed, and his eyes fell to the ground, "It seems that the seniors are trying to make fun of the two of us." ”

Zou Li looked at him interestingly, and when he heard this, he laughed again, which made Lin Xun and the others confused, and they didn't know what Mr. Zou meant. After he finished laughing, Lin Luofang asked again, "Senior...... Is there any high opinion? ”

Zou Li no longer laughed, but looked at Lin Luo with a smile, and said slowly: "Miss Lin is Lanxin, I don't need to say it, I already have a plan in my heart, right?" ”

Lin Luo's eyes were stunned, he looked at Zou Li in a daze, thought for a moment, and then withdrew his gaze and said no more.

Lin Xun couldn't understand these two dumb riddles, he looked at Mr. Zou and then at Lin Luo, and then asked, "Sister, what are your plans, say it, why haven't I heard you say it?" ”

Lin Luo just lowered his gaze, frowned slightly, and said softly: "What are the plans, it's just ...... Cornered, the last way to go. ”

"Oh?" Lin Xunxu was interested, "Let's hear about it?" ”

Seeing that Lin Luo didn't speak, Zou Li opened his mouth and said to Na Lin Xun: "Since Miss Tang is locked up at home and can't come out, then you naturally have to come out once to find her." ”

"Had to come out?" Lin Xun frowned and thought, "But until she gets married, she can't come out, she can't, she can't marry to the Hou Mansion and then take her away, right?" It will be able to come out then, but that will not be the same anymore. ”

I saw Zou Li close his eyes and shake his head, "What Lin Gongzi said is true." Think about it carefully, when was the only time she could come out from the Tang Mansion to the Hou Mansion? ”

Lin Xun raised his eyebrows and thought about it, and after Zou Li's mention, a white light flashed in his mind, and he immediately understood. He looked at Zou Li dumbfounded, and asked in surprise: "The predecessor said that it was on the day of marriage...... Grab the sedan chair! With that, he stared at Zou Li, and then turned his head to look at Lin Luo.

The three of them were silent for a moment, only to hear Lin Xun suddenly shout: "Okay! His eyebrows fluttered, and he was overjoyed for a while, and said with a bright face: "Why didn't I think of it!" On the day of marriage, there were many people in the two mansions, and the manpower must not be able to take care of her, so it was a good time to take her away! ”

"But if you fail, there will be a big mess." Lin Luo was still a little worried, "What's more, when the incident happens suddenly, she won't necessarily go with us." ”

"What's there to worry about? You and I will not fail, just a few sedan chair bearers, and I am not afraid of hundreds of them! ”

"Those sedan chair men are unarmed, so naturally there is no need to be afraid, but what I am most worried about is this. We have to take their brides without hurting them, which is very different from dealing with wicked thieves. ”

After hearing this, Lin Xun couldn't help but put away his smile, and pondered: "That's right, you can't hurt them all......" After thinking for a moment, he smiled again, "It's okay, then you go and grab the sedan chair and take her away." I'm going to deal with the guards and the palanquins, and they're showing their blades and I'm going to fight them, and I'm going to deal with them when they're unarmed. ”

"Well," Zou Li smiled and nodded, "Lin Gongzi's method is not bad." In my opinion, the girl should not worry too much, and as for whether the girl will follow you, the time will come...... I'm afraid I can't help her. As long as you two remember that everything is important to the overall situation, you can't rely on Xi'er's temperament at that time, even if the sin is only offended for a while, she will understand you two afterwards. ”

After hearing this, Lin Luo nodded heavily, raised his head and said, "I understand what my predecessors meant, and Xun'er and I will remember it." If nothing changes," she glanced at Lin Xun, "then let's follow this plan." ”

"Good!" Lin Xun answered.

"When the time comes, it's up to the seniors to respond." Lin Luo looked at Zou Li with gratitude in his eyes.

Zou Li nodded slightly: "Don't worry, you don't have to worry about this." After picking her up then, the three of you just have to head all the way south and do the rest...... I'll handle it. ”

When Lin Luolin Xun heard this, he looked at Mr. Zou in front of him, and his heart was surging and grateful. The two glanced at each other, both knelt down on the spot, raised their hands in front of them, and Lin Luo said: "Mr. Great kindness, we keep it in mind, if there is a coming day, we will repay each other!" ”

"Thank you, senior!"

"Quick, quick, please get up." Zou Li helped the two of them up, "You don't have to thank me, if you want to thank you, just thank your master and mother." Zou's move is just to conform to the way of heaven, and it is really not worth the two of you. ”

"That's right, senior." Lin Xun suddenly remembered that the reason why they came here was for Chen Bingfeng, so he glanced at Lin Luo and said to Zou Li, "Senior sister and I, I still want to ask our seniors and Chen Gongzi to help us with one thing." ”

"Oh? What's the matter? ”

Lin Xun glanced at Lin Luo and didn't know how to answer, so Lin Luo had no choice but to say, "We want to ask our seniors to ask Chen Gongzi to write a letter." ”
