Chapter 90: New Year
The prisoner cart gradually approached You Mansion, and the leading officers and soldiers saw You Bowen's group clearly, their impatient faces instantly turned over, and they walked over quickly.
"You are the big master, the second master." The leading officer and soldier arched his hand and smiled a little flatteringly. You Wu glanced at him and looked away, afraid that it was another force.
You Bowen didn't have any special expression, put on a standardized smile, and arched his hand: "In this winter, the officials have really worked hard. ”
"Not really! It took dozens of days to get from Yancheng to the outlying places, and by the time we returned, we were afraid that spring had already begun. Alas, everyone else has gone home for the New Year, and we who have no family are left to guard this criminal ......" The leading officer chattered and complained. At first, You Wu only thought that he was dissatisfied with the government's arrangement, but in the end, it changed a little.
"What does the official need, but if You can do it, he will definitely not postpone it." You Bowen interrupted the words of the leading officer and soldier, and reminded with a smile, but there was obvious detachment in his eyes, but the leading officer didn't seem to notice it at all.
Hearing You Bowen's prompt, the annoyance on his face was swept away, and he thanked him very gratefully: "Then this is really good, our five brothers still have shortcomings......
……
When You Bowen told the housekeeper to go back to get the things, You Wu realized that they were not here to say hello. Thinking of this, she looked into the prisoner cart again. At this time, Lin Yueming had already lowered his head, sat on the side of the prisoner car, and did not move.
"Official, isn't there anyone from the Lin family?" Someone asked casually. The sound was not loud or small, but it was audible to all. You Wu kept an eye on the people in the car when this sentence sounded. She could visibly see his body tremble, but then he stopped moving. Looking at his lonely and embarrassed figure, a trace of sadness emerged in You Wu's heart. In the past, when a prisoner was exiled, if there were still people in the family, they would definitely follow for a while, and during this time, they wept and wept, which made passers-by feel very sad.
You Wu sighed lightly. Unexpectedly, the situation where no one was crying was even more miserable.
The officers and soldiers sneered, full of ridicule, "Don't say that there is no one to send you off." Since he was put in prison, no one from the Lin family has come, and the young master of the Lin family, in my opinion. I'm afraid it's not as good as a subordinate of your You family. ”
The voice fell. The You family's face sank, and the leading officers and soldiers only thought that they didn't want to have anything to do with the Lin family, and hurriedly explained: "It's just a metaphor, a metaphor, don't care." ”
No one spoke again, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while, but after a while, the housekeeper walked out of it with a few small servants, still holding the things requested by the leading officers and soldiers.
See here. The leading officers and soldiers laughed, turned around and shouted at the other officers and soldiers beside the prisoner car. Then he turned around and walked forward quickly, and took the things in the housekeeper's hand, moving quickly and eagerly, as if he was worried that the You family would regret it.
After getting the things, the leading officers and soldiers stopped nagging, returned to the prisoner cart and placed the things, and then threw a whip at the prisoner cart and shouted: "Go." ”
The heavy, old prison cart moved again, making a low noise, and gradually disappeared from people's eyes.
Like a farce, it flashed and dissipated. Everyone's hearts are a lot heavier, maybe because of Lin Yueming's future ending, or because of the appearance of the officers and soldiers. If the You family declines one day in the future, will they be treated like this?
"Second brother, get in the car! Winter days are short, but don't be late. You Bowen's reminder interrupted everyone's thoughts, and You Wu came back to his senses, walked to Lu's side, and slowly walked to the carriage with her.
Lu Shi looked at her and smiled slightly, and said a little apologetically: "Wu'er, it's hard for you to leave you alone." ”
"Mother, it's okay, didn't the uncle say it, he will treat me like his own daughter, what are you worried about!"
"Okay, I don't want a mother's kiss, right?" Lu Shi eased his expression, not as depressed as before, and joked to You Wu.
You Wu smiled and said, "How come." ”
Walking to the carriage, the two stopped, Lu Shi turned to look at You Wu, stroked her face, and muttered, "My daughter has grown up and can take care of herself!" That's nice! ”
You Wu just looked at her silently, trying to raise the corners of her mouth, but did not speak.
"Alas!" Lu Shi suddenly sighed, and said: "Wu'er, the relationship with the Zhang family has dragged on for so long, I'm afraid it won't work, what do you think?" The Lu family knew about Wen Nan's existence, but he didn't know about his relationship with You Wu, only that he was invited by You Cheng to treat You Wu, and You Haili didn't mention it to her.
"Mother, the Zhang family doesn't want to marry me, I'm not uncommon with them! Don't worry about it, follow Dad with peace of mind! You Wu didn't mention Wen Nan to her, not because she thought it was impossible between the two, but because she hadn't broken off the marriage contract with the Zhang family yet, if it was rumored that she was mixed with other men, it would definitely have a bad reputation, she didn't think there was anything, but it would insult Wen Nan.
"Okay, my mother knows. In the winter, don't stand outside anymore, go back! Lu Shi drove You Wu back, then turned around and got into the carriage.
The car drove and gradually disappeared into Sheng'an Street, perfectly blending into the vast sky, hiding in the clouds.
After returning to the West Courtyard, You Wu's stool was not yet hot, and he was urged to tidy up his things. She moved to the east courtyard, and now, the west courtyard was completely empty, and there were not even a few servants left to guard the courtyard, and all of them were transferred out.
Night falls, the darkness disperses, the night comes again, a replacement, and before you know it, it is already the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve.
Early in the morning, You Wu was dragged up from the warm bed by Zhang, and then freshened up, and when she was finished, she was almost sober.
"My Wu'er is really beautiful." Zhang's face was full of joy, she looked at the bright and moving girl in front of her, and boasted.
Usually at home, You Wu rarely wears makeup and dresses up, looking at herself in the mirror, she was a little uncomfortable for a while, lowered her head, but saw what she was wearing today. When she got up earlier, she was still confused, and the maids did not pay attention when they dressed her.
She looked carefully, today, she wore a light red pleated skirt, the skirt was tattooed with three large and small colored butterflies, with the flow of the skirt, the colorful butterflies appeared vivid, as if dancing around the dance, very good-looking.
"Like it? This is specially made for you in Yijin. Seeing You Wu's happy face, Zhang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and she finally smiled.
You Wu was indeed very happy, but also a little surprised, she had always dressed plainly, and it was the first time she had worn such delicate and gorgeous clothes.
She looked up at Zhang, who looked at her with a concerned face, and warmth rose in her heart, and said, "Auntie, thank you." ”
"What do you say! I'm still seeing your aunt! Let's go, let's get out! Your uncle, they're just afraid they're in a hurry. Zhang stepped forward with a smile, grabbed You Wu and walked out together. (To be continued......)
