"About twenty years...... Yu Zhongjun's eyes were a little dark, "Most of them were victims of the eunuch disaster back then." I pity these children. “

Perhaps, when Zhao Gelding faced the menacing Liang family's army, he knew that he had no power to return to heaven, and in desperation, he frantically killed the forty little prostitutes who were raised in the mansion, which was regarded as the last stubborn resistance.

Yu Ruoxu couldn't help but glance at the bones again. Forty-one white bones were neatly arranged in the backyard, all of them were small, she couldn't help but imagine how they were humiliated in Zhao Eunuch's mansion, they must all have lowered their eyebrows, facing the eunuch with monstrous power, in order to survive, they had to endure humiliation and beg for perfection.

She noticed the nearest corpse, which seemed to have an iron sign around its neck, rusted by age, but she could still make out a vague word "Joe".

This kid may have the word Joe in his name.

"Daddy, let's find a place with better feng shui, so that these children can settle in the earth as soon as possible." Yu Ruoxu said softly.

Yu Zhongjun nodded slightly, "This is natural." The housekeeper, according to the young lady's instructions, when the identity of the children has been verified by the Yin side of Jingzhao Mansion, he will find a better place and bring someone to bury the unclaimed child. ”

The butler whispered. Jiang Chengzuo and He Chengzuo packed up their things and left. After a while, Jingzhao Mansion Yin sent several arresters to come over and transport the remains of these children back to the yamen in a cart.

Yu Ruoxu looked at the devastated side room and sighed, "Daddy, this house is unlivable." ”

Walking on the water, dead people, and bones, where else would anyone dare to live here?

"I'm thinking about my father, and I've been looking for a new house recently." Yu Zhongjun muttered, "Let's let everyone settle for a few days first, how can it be so easy to move this kind of thing." ”

"That's what Daddy said." Yu Ruoxu felt a little depressed in her heart, but a wave of tiredness came up, "I'm a little sleepy, go back and lie down for a while." “

"You've been tossing and turning for so long, it's time to go back and catch up on sleep." Yu Zhongjun instructed Xiu'er, "Quickly take the young lady back to the room to rest." Then ask the kitchen to make some porridge and side dishes, and let her use some when the young lady wakes up. “

Xiu'er nodded and helped Yu Ruoxu back to the room.

In the past few days, there has been a lot of trouble in Yufu, everyone is frightened, and the group of maids and women who have been transferred to the east courtyard will make a fuss from time to time in the middle of the night, saying that they heard the sad cry of children in the backyard. Yu Ruoxu was so tossed that she couldn't sleep all night, she was anxious and worried, and her whole person was boiled down.

Fortunately, a few days later, the housekeeper brought a good news, saying that he had found a new house near Suzaku Alley, and I heard that the head of the house had died, and the lady took the young son and the young ladies to prepare to sell the house in the capital, and moved back to his hometown Qingzhou with the body of the head of the house, which was considered to be a return to his roots.

"Why is it a dead person...... Xiu'er couldn't help but mumble in a low voice when she heard the housekeeper say "the head of the family died".

"Oh Xiu'er girl, if it weren't for some emergency changes these years, who would have sold the house in the capital lightly!" The housekeeper complained bitterly, "The little one has traveled all over the capital in the past few days, and he almost didn't go to the palace to have a look, so he only looked for such a family." “

"I see." Yu Ruoxu saw that the housekeeper had also lost a lot of weight, and she couldn't bear it in her heart, "When Daddy comes back from the palace, let's discuss it again." “

After dinner, Yu Ruoxu followed Yu Zhongjun to the study and probably talked about the new house. Yu Zhongjun thought for a while and said, "Birth, old age, sickness and death are common things, and it is not a taboo. “

"My daughter thinks the same way." Yu Ruoxu nodded, "Now it's the most important thing to move out of this mansion first." “

The seller was anxious, and the buyer was anxious, and the transaction in Suzaku Alley was quickly concluded. Fortunately, the Yu family had just entered Beijing, and there was nothing difficult to deal with, so the housekeeper neatly instructed the family Ding and his mother-in-law to pack their luggage, hire a few carriages to load some large items, and go directly to the new house.

Yu Ruoxu's things are not much, except for some clothes, her headache is the books and calligraphy and paintings collected by herself and Yu Zhongjun. I didn't think it was when I bought it, but now when I count it, I just stuff two carriages full.

Suzaku Alley is located at the foot of the imperial city, and there are many hairpin families, so it seems a little deserted. The Yu family's new house was built in the deepest part of the alley, a little smaller than the previous one, but it was exquisite and chic, and there was a verdant bamboo forest behind the courtyard, which was quite beautiful as a garden in the south of the Yangtze River.

After several days of busy work, I finally cleaned up. Yu Ruoxu's shoulder injury in the middle was committed again, and she was sweating profusely and almost collapsed in pain at that time, and the director was like catching a thief for a few days, staring at her anytime and anywhere, as long as she saw her taking something, she reached out and snatched it, and resolutely refused to let her help clean it up.

"Where am I so weak!" Yu Ruoxu resisted helplessly.

"Miss didn't know how ugly her face was at that time." Xiu'er had a tough face.

Yu Ruoxu couldn't, and sighed that she had finally met someone more difficult than herself. He simply raised his feet and walked towards the door, "Then I'll go out and breathe, so it's okay." “

Xiu'er grimaced, "Then don't go too far, the old man will be back soon." “

Yu Ruoxu walked slowly out along the Vermilion Bird Alley, and from time to time a carriage passed by, and the iron horsepaw stepped on the ground, making a crisp "click" sound. She looked at the mansion she was passing by, and silently remembered in her heart, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Guo Mansion, the Song Guogong Mansion, the Ministry of Industry Shilang Liu Mansion, and the Taishi Lin Mansion......

After the death of Master Lin, the Lin family was no longer beautiful, so it looked a little withered. Yu Ruoxu looked at the two stone lions at the gate of the Lin Mansion steadily, and inexplicably remembered the white river lantern in Liang Jin's hand on the day of the Midyear Festival-

"It's just for my grandfather. He loved me the most when he was alive, but unfortunately he couldn't enjoy more blessings for his children and grandchildren. ”

Yu Ruoxu sighed, turned around and was about to leave, only to hear a warm voice behind him, "Miss Yu? Why are you here? “

"The prince?" Yu Ruoxu turned around and saw Liang Jin standing at the door of the Lin Mansion, followed by a person who looked like a housekeeper, as if she had just sent him out, she hurriedly saluted and said, "The people's daughter greets the prince." “

"Don't be polite." Liang Jin turned his head sideways and told the housekeeper to go back to his life first, while he walked towards Yu Ruoxu and asked, "I heard that Yu's mansion was hit by a fire some time ago, is Miss Yu okay?" ”

Yu Ruoxu shook her head and said with a smile, "Thank you for your concern, although I was a little frightened, fortunately I didn't worry about my life." ”

Liang Jin saw that she had lost a lot of weight, her face was a little pale, and she had a faint tired look, so she couldn't help but whisper, "I see that Miss Yu has lost a lot of weight, so please be sure to take care of your body, be careful." ”

Yu Ruoxu raised his eyes, and saw that his eyes were full of worry, and his heart moved, "What the prince said is that the people should keep it in mind." After speaking, she thought about it again, raised her hand and pointed to the depths of Suzaku Alley, "The Yu family was burned to the ground, and Daddy made the decision to move the family, and it was in the innermost part of the alley." ”

"I see. In the early days of the dynasty today, the Queen Mother was still asking Lord Yu about the new house. Liang Jin glanced at the direction of her finger and said with a smile, "It's close to my grandfather's house, and it's a good thing to move to a new house, and I'll come to visit the house after a few ****." ”

"The prince is polite, the whole family of the folk girl escaped from the murderous house, and it is not a housewarming." Yu Ruoxu smiled bitterly.

Liang Jin saw that she looked happy for the rest of her life, but for some reason she was suddenly a little afraid, but she didn't dare to mention the incident that was circulating in the capital. ”

“…… It's my mother. Liang Jin looked embarrassed, "Mother has moved back to the Lin Mansion now." ”

Yu Ruoxu was shocked to realize that she had trespassed, and hurriedly apologized, "The folk girl is offended." ”

"It doesn't matter." Liang Jin sighed, his eyes were a little gloomy, "Now that the whole capital knows, Mrs. Dingyuan Hou Zhengfang and the newborn born from the side room are in conflict, and Mrs. Zhengfang voluntarily moved back to her mother's house to live temporarily, so that the heirs of the Hou Mansion will grow up." ”

Yu Ruoxu looked up at him, only to see Liang Jin's eyes deep, and the corners of his thin lips were tightly pursed, as if he was suppressing something.

She had also experienced the battle in the back house in Langzhong, and those aunts and aunts, big and small, always looked at her suspiciously, ready to dig a trap and wait for her to jump in. She understands that feeling of powerlessness too well, although she is a nominal relative, she always has to fight for trivial things like a feud for several lifetimes.

Yu Ruoxu thought for a while and said softly, "Is Madam okay?" ”

"My mother has wanted to move back in for a long time, so it's naturally good." Liang Jin's faint voice came, "When I was young, my father was very good to my mother, and I couldn't wait to pluck the moon in the sky and hold it in front of my mother. “

Yu Ruoxu didn't expect him to tell her about his family affairs, and couldn't help but be stunned, "Won't it be good after that?" “

"It's not bad, it's that no matter how good my father is, my mother still looks bleak." Liang Jin's voice was a little bitter, and he said with a low smile, "Later, my father lost patience, so he married someone else from room to room, and after my grandfather died, my mother became more and more cold, and I didn't even want to see my father's face later." “

"So this time, is it really Madame's willing?" Yu Ruoxu asked with some hesitation.

"Yes, others say that it is the father's spoiled concubine who killed his wife and forced away the original wife, but in fact, this just fulfilled the mother's wish."

Yu Ruoxu remembered that when she was injured just now, Dingyuan Hou and the Lin family came to visit her separately. Later, in the apse of the Taimiao, she had a relationship with the Lin family, and she only remembered her indifferent posture like an outsider, but it turned out that her heart was just dead.

"In this world, the most difficult thing to force is the human heart." Yu Ruoxu sighed, "I just hope that Lord Hou and Mrs. can see it as soon as possible." “

After speaking, she looked at Liang Jin again, with some pity in her eyes that she didn't even notice, "The prince should also look away, you are already suffering yourself, don't impose the grievances of the previous generation on yourself, you will not be able to stand it." ”

Liang Jin was shocked, and the faint alienation in the corner of his eyes faded instantly, leaving only a surging pain, "You ......"

"In such a thing, the most tormented are the juniors." Yu Ruoxu's eyes were clear, "To solve the bell, you still have to tie the bell, and there are some things, even if you are a blood relative, you can't help." “

Her voice was clear but gentle, like a baby's little hand, gently brushing his heart. Liang Jin only felt that his breath was suffocated, and he smiled dumbly, "Miss Yu's words are like an initiation." “

Yu Ruoxu laughed softly, "The prince is serious, and the folk girl is not the abbot of the temple, how can she know the great wisdom of Daigo empowerment?" What I said today is just to persuade the prince. ”

I don't know when, a carriage quietly stopped at the gate of the Lin Mansion, Liang Jin looked at the sky, and said, "It's not early, I'll send Miss Yu back to the house." ”

Yu Ruoxu hurriedly waved her hand, "It only takes a cup of tea for the folk girl to walk back, why do you need to bother the prince to send it away?" The prince should go back to the Hou Mansion earlier. ”

Seeing her somewhat awkward look, Liang Jin knew in her heart that she just didn't want to be seen by Yu Zhongjun. He was not reluctant, and bowed, "Then don't leave it today." ”

Yu Ruoxu blessed her body, Liang Jin stepped into the carriage, waved at her, and said loudly, "Miss Yu, you are my Liang Jin's most important confidant, and you will not lose your life to each other." ”
