Chapter 261: Shared Suffering (Added Change)
The eunuch only led the way at the moment, Liu Tong still had a glimmer of hope, and dragged Chang Runzhi to the guards guarding the entrance of the alley and said: "The saint did not let the princess and the princess enter the seclusion, you let them out!" ”
The guard looked at Liu Tong and said with a little impatience: "Nine Emperor Princes, didn't you make it clear because of the humble position?" Unless there is an order from the palace, this place can only be entered and not exited. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Liu Tong said: "Then quickly pass the saint - no, you can also pass the virtuous concubine Niangniang, ask for an order from the virtuous concubine Niangniang." ”
The guard did not move, and said in a light tone: "Humble persuasion of the Nine Emperor Princes to rest this thought, what do you think this place is?" It's easy to get in, but it's hard to get out. ”
Another guard also said: "The Nine Emperors should not waste their efforts in vain, and ask the princess to give our brothers this little wine money, and give you a reminder." Since you have entered this Zhongguan Hutong, no matter what you have done in the future, it is better to clamp your tail and be a man now. I advise you to listen to the advice of the princess, go to clean up the house early, and have a good rest. It's scary at night. ”
The guard who spoke at first took over and said: "There are the most eunuchs in Zhongguan Hutong, and there are many problems here. He nodded his head and continued, "Even if the Nine Emperor Princes don't take care of themselves, they must also take care of their wives and young children. ”
The words of the two guards made Liu Tong feel as if he had been poured a basin of cold water, cold from head to toe.
Chang Runzhi pulled him and said, "The chief eunuch has gone away, let's go with him, otherwise we won't be able to find where we live." ”
Liu Tongchang let out a long breath, not knowing whether to be moved by his wife's life and death, or to blame her for her self-assertion.
But it has to be said that the guard's words woke him up.
Liu Tong picked up Liu Jingyang, took the burden on Chang Runzhi's shoulder, took her hand, and quickly chased in the direction of the chief eunuch.
After walking for about a stick of incense, I finally arrived.
The chief eunuch took out a bunch of keys from his sleeve pocket and opened the courtyard door, and said without raising his eyelids: "That's it, the above means that if you step into this courtyard, it will be difficult to come out again." Eat and drink every day, someone will send it, you change the clothes you have washed, and some people will wash it and then send it over, and someone will come to pick up the night incense every morning. You don't need to be sidelined, just be honest. ”
Liu Tong pursed his lips, and his well-defined face tensed.
The chief eunuch raised his eyes and glanced at him: "You can be content in this way, I didn't let you get your own food and clothing." Get on in. ”
Liu Tong could only take his wife and children in, the chief eunuch reflexively locked the courtyard door, turned around and walked slowly, Liu Tong heard the movement, and wanted to call him, Chang Runzhi pulled him and said, "Just came, don't conflict with people." ”
Liu Tong was sullen: "Who asked you to bring Yang Yang with you, where is this where you can live." ”
"You can live, why can't Yangyang and I live?"
When I stepped in, I saw that this courtyard was very ordinary, surrounded by walls on three sides, and a door was opened on one side. The walls were high and strong, but the inside was desolate and tight. Facing the door is a row of houses, on both sides are the east and west wings, and a well has been opened against the east wing, and there is a crooked white fruit tree on the west wing, with lush branches.
Probably because it has not been occupied for a long time, there is already a thick layer of dead leaves in this courtyard. The mouth of the well was not sealed, but it was covered with a plank, and a few leaves fell on it.
Chang Runzhi took two steps in the direction of the room, and the sound of crunching suddenly sounded as she walked.
It can be seen how deep the underground leaves have accumulated.
The area of the whole small courtyard is not large, narrow and small. I was used to living in a high house and a wide house, and when I arrived at this place, I only felt that the gap was huge.
Liu Jingyang was a little scared, and whispered to Liu Tong: "Daddy, why is there no sound here...... Quietly. ”
Liu Tong stood still and didn't move, only patted his son's little body gently.
Chang Runzhi looked at Liu Tong and said, "Let's clean up a room and come out first, and deal with it tonight." ”
Liu Tong answered in a low voice, put Liu Jingyang down, and swept the main house first.
Probably I have received orders, and some of the necessities of life that I need have been delivered, but they are just piled up in a mess.
The house had not been cleaned up, and there was still dust on the tables and chairs.
Liu Tong searched around, found a broom, simply put the dust in the house, and opened the window to ventilate.
Chang Runzhi found wooden barrels, wooden basins and hemp paps, removed the wooden planks on the surface of the wellhead, fetched buckets of water out, and followed Liu Tong to scrub the tables and chairs.
Fortunately, it is summer, and the well water is not very cool after drying in the sun for a while.
Liu Jingyang saw that his father and mother were busy, but he was not idle, so he obediently followed Chang Run, handed her something, and reminded Chang Runzhi with wide eyes that he hadn't scrubbed it clean.
After working like this for half an hour, the small main house changed from the previous gray and was slightly cleaner.
Liu Jingyang saw that Chang Runzhi was sweating on his forehead, and was busy tiptoeing to wipe Chang Runzhi's sweat.
Chang Runzhi bowed his waist slightly, so that his son could be filial to her.
This scene crashed into the eyes of Liu Tong, who was coming in from outside the house.
The sunlight outside the window was projected on Chang Runzhi's side face, the fine dust was flying, the son grinned, raised his hand and pulled his sleeve, and seriously wiped the sweat on his wife's face, as if the years were quiet, and everything was warm and beautiful as usual.
The breath that was holding back in my heart suddenly relaxed.
Liu Tong leaned against the door frame and looked at them with a light smile.
After Liu Jingyang wiped his sweat, he turned his head as if he was conscious, and when he saw Liu Tong, he grinned and said, "Daddy, I just wiped my sweat for my mother, can I wipe it for you too?" ”
Liu Tong bowed his head, squatted down obediently, and opened his arms to welcome his son.
Liu Jingyang painted the gourd in the same way, and after wiping the sweat for Liu Tong, he smiled and said: "Qiu Lin asked me to take care of my mother more, don't let my mother be tired." I am a man, and I will protect my mother with my father in the future. Is it good, Daddy? ”
"Good ......" Liu Tong's nasal cavity was sour, don't look over it to slow down, then stood up and took Liu Jingyang, and said to Chang Run: "Rest for a while, it's almost time for dinner." ”
Chang Runzhi nodded, covered his heart, and eased the nausea caused by hearing the word "dinner".
"What's wrong?" Liu Tong hurriedly asked.
Chang Runzhi opened his mouth, not knowing whether it was good news or bad news for Liu Tong that she was pregnant.
In fact, she could have used pregnancy as a reason not to come to Zhongguan Hutong to accompany Liu Tong for the time being, she could have waited until she gave birth to this second child, and then came to share the joys and sorrows with him after the confinement.
But Chang Runzhi finally gave up this is the best choice for her.
She was reluctant to let him suffer here alone.
When she gave birth to a child and recovered, nearly a year passed.
She didn't dare to imagine how Liu Tong would spend this year alone in Zhongguan Hutong.
Loneliness can drive a person crazy.
How could she bear it?
So she came anyway, because she knew that it might not be the best choice, but it was the most true choice.
She will work hard and live her own little life with Liu Tong in this closed Zhongguan Hutong.
Try to be carefree, try to be as worry-free as possible. (To be continued.) )
