Chapter 21: Twins

"I didn't pay attention to this, but they were all official tablets sent from the palace." Mrs. Zhou thought for a while, "If Sister Yu likes it, when the adults come back, I will help you ask him for a few copies." ”

"Then I'll thank my sister first." Yu Ruoxu's voice was a little hoarse.

"It's just a few tablets, don't be so polite." Mrs. Zhou said with a smile.

Yu Ruoxu chatted with her for a few more words, and then hurriedly left with other excuses. Xiu'er sat in the carriage and asked curiously, "Miss, according to etiquette, you have to have lunch before leaving, why do you ......?"

"I have a bit of a headache and want to come back sooner." Yu Ruoxu didn't explain much, but her face was a little pale, her eyes were closed and she leaned against the wall of the carriage motionlessly, but her left hand subconsciously touched the half of the phoenix blood jade on her neck.

This jade has been touched for a long time, and the warm luster seems to seep into the skin. Yu Ruoxu thought of the words on the face, and her heart suddenly beat like a drum.

Back in the house, Yu Ruoxu went straight to the study, locked the door of the house with the latch, took out a flower note from a small box in the corner of the study, and opened it gently.

The most inconspicuous flower paper, the most inconspicuous pen and ink, just that handwriting, she and Yu Zhongjun have read it countless times, deeply engraved in their minds, and they remember every stroke clearly-

Qing was trapped in Beijing.

Yu Ruoqing, the eldest son of the Yu family, fell into the capital.

She and Yu Zhongjun have been searching in the capital for nearly three months, but they still have no clue. Just when she was disheartened, she found the same handwriting in Zhou Yuanzhao's mansion.

Yu Ruoxu sat on the ground, tucked the flower note to her chest, and smiled dumblyβ€”is this really providence?

She vaguely remembers that when she was seven years old, she went to Langzhong with her brother to visit the Doucai Xiang Club in Langzhong. The nurse held her with her left hand and Yu Ruoqing with her right hand, struggling through the surging crowd. She was in her lively and jumpy temperament at that time, and when she saw a small stall selling her favorite candy man, she stayed there and refused to leave.

"Nurse, take your sister to buy it. I'll be waiting for you next to me. Yu Ruoqing saw her looking at the sugar man with her eyes, like a poor little rabbit, and couldn't help shaking the nurse's hand and begging.

The nurse looked back at the family who followed the incense club, but she couldn't see their shadows at all in the crowd, so she said a little anxiously, "The slave maid took the son and the young lady to go over, there are too many people here, and the son is not safe alone." ”

Yu Ruoqing was helpless, and was dragged by the nurse to squeeze in front of the candy man stall. Yu Ruoxu was dazzled by all kinds of sugar people, and danced happily for a while, "Nurse, this, and that, I want them all!" ”

"Ouch Miss, it's hard to buy so much, let's just need one, okay?" The nurse squeezed a few buttons of her clothes, wiped her sweat with her sleeves, and persuaded in a low voice.

Yu Ruoxu pursed her lips and looked at it in a flash, "Okay, I want that Chang'e!" ”

Until now, Yu Ruoxu still remembers the Chang'e candy man inserted at the top of the stall, with a delicate and delicate demeanor, reflecting the full moon in the sky, and an ethereal appearance that is about to fly.

However, it was not Chang'e who flew away in the end, but Yu Ruoqing.

Just as the nurse lowered her head and paid for the money, Yu Ruoqing on the right side quietly disappeared.

"Miss, the master is back!" Yu Ruoxu was pulled back to reality by Xiu'er's voice, she looked around blankly, and found that she was still sitting on the floor of the study, holding the flower note in her hand, and the handwriting on it reminded her of what she saw in the Zhou Mansion today.

"I know, come out right away!" Yu Ruoxu stood up, carefully put the flower note into the box, opened the door and went to the flower hall. Yu Zhongjun had just entered the door, and before he had time to change his clothes, he saw that her expression was a little strange, and he couldn't help asking, "How do you feel about visiting Zhou's Mansion today?" You haven't been troubled, have you? ”

Yu Ruoxu pulled out a smile, "Mrs. Zhou is an extremely hearty and gentle woman, how can she make things difficult for her daughter?" Daddy, don't worry. After saying that, he handed him a cup of tea to moisten his throat.

Yu Zhongjun took the teacup and took a sip slightly, "I heard that you didn't come back today without lunch in Zhou's mansion?" Did something happen? β€œ

Yu Ruoxu was stunned for a moment, but she didn't know how to speak, she just sighed slightly, "Daddy, there are some things I still need to verify." When I'm sure, I'll tell you completely. β€œ

β€œβ€¦β€¦ It's good. Yu Zhongjun looked at her for a long time, and he didn't intend to force her, but his gaze at her was a little deep, as if he was exploring something.

The days of waiting are always very difficult, obviously only two days have passed, but for Yu Ruoxu, it is as long as twenty years. On the afternoon of the third day, Li Afu, who was on duty at the gate of Yu's mansion, came to report that someone from the Qing family of Taichang Temple had come to deliver something to the second lady of the Yu family on the orders of his wife.

Yu Ruoxu couldn't wait for almost a moment, and hurriedly asked Li Afu to bring that person in, straightened his clothes and ran directly to the flower hall.

The person who came was the housekeeper of the Zhou Mansion, carrying a heavy package in his hand, and said with a smile, "Our lady knows that the young lady loves calligraphy tablets, so she asked the lord to ask for a set from the palace." It's all here, please take a look. β€œ

"Thank you for me, my wife." Yu Ruoxu smiled and couldn't help but reach out and open the package. A thick stack of inscriptions, there are about thirty or forty posts by all kinds of famous artists. She flipped through the pages one by one, but she didn't find the one she was most familiar with.

"Is it really all here?" Yu Ruoxu asked.

"What did the young lady say, do you suspect that the little one will steal a few tickets?" The housekeeper of the Zhou Mansion was a little surprised, and when he saw her disappointed face, he remembered something again, and said, "By the way, the little one heard the adults tell the lady yesterday, because the young lady was in a hurry, so she first found some of the most popular tablets and sent them over, and some of them were relatively rare, all of which were in the palace Liang Jieyu Niangniang." β€œ

Liang Jieyu?

Yu Ruoxu suddenly remembered that Liang Jieyu is famous for not liking jewelry and loving calligraphy and painting, and the entire Chonghua Palace has collected all kinds of tablets, which can be called the second Shaanxi stele forest.

"Sister Lu bothered this time, here are some Langzhong fragrant tea, although it is not a precious thing, but at least it is the only one in Langzhong, please accept it." Yu Ruoxu asked Xiu'er to hand the housekeeper of the Zhou Mansion a box of exquisitely packaged tea bricks and said with a smile.

"Miss Yu is polite." Seeing that Yu Ruoxu sent him sincerely, the housekeeper of the Zhou Mansion was not easy to refuse, so he put away the tea bricks and left.

"Xiu'er, help me pass a message to the housekeeper." Yu Ruoxu turned sideways to Xiu'er and ordered, "Just say that I want to go to the palace, let him immediately take the Yu family's exit order and go to the palace gate to report, hurry!" β€œ

Xiu'er answered, and hurriedly went to the housekeeper. Yu Ruoxu had some doubts in her heart, it turned out that this was not an ordinary font, no wonder she felt angry when she saw it for the first time.

The font is beautiful and beautiful, but the pen is sharp and full, making it difficult to figure out whether the writer is male or female.

After receiving this letter, Yu Zhongjun used almost all the power of Langzhong to find out its source. But this letter seems to have fallen on the desk out of thin air, and the identity of the sender and writer cannot be found in the slightest.

It has been nearly ten years since Yu Ruoqing was lost at that time, and she can't even remember the appearance of this twin brother clearly. I only heard the servants of the family say that when Mrs. gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, the son's eyebrows and eyes were almost exactly the same as those of Mrs., and he was more like his father.

She had been thinking countless times that if she hadn't been clamoring to buy candy man at that time, then now, their family of four would be living a happy and happy life in Langzhong, right?

The thought was like a haunting nightmare, and every time she touched the half of the phoenix blood jade on her neck, it reminded her of the sins she had committed.

"Miss, the housekeeper came back from the palace gate, saying that he had already reported and could leave at any time." Xiu'er hurriedly ran into the flower hall from the door and said to Yu Ruoxu.

"Hurry up and prepare the car, we'll go now." Yu Ruoxu couldn't sit still anymore, she couldn't wait to grow a pair of wings now, and flew directly to Liang Jieyu's Chonghua Palace, "Remember to bring some snacks, and tell the outside world that we will go to Jieyu Niangniang to say goodbye." β€œ

The carriage galloped all the way into the palace city, and as soon as Yu Ruoxu got off the car, he saw a palace maid with eyes walking towards him, "May I ask if it is Miss Yu Er?" β€œ

"Exactly." Yu Ruoxu was a little puzzled, "May I ask my aunt who is ......?"

"The slave's surname is Yan, and she is the maid of Chonghua Palace." Aunt Yan took out a waist card from Chonghua Palace to show her, and explained in a soft voice, "Jieyu Niangniang heard that the young lady was going to enter the palace, so she asked the slave maid to wait here and wait for the young lady to go over." ”

"There's Aunt Law." Yu Ruoxu hurriedly handed over a red seal, followed behind Aunt Yan, and walked in the direction of Chonghua Palace.

As in their memories, the two walked through the Imperial Garden and walked straight towards Chonghua Palace. Aunt Yan asked Yu Ruoxu to wait at the door for a while, then opened the curtain and went in to report. But it didn't take long for Aunt Yan to come out and apologize to her, "Miss Yu, just now Song Guiren sent someone to invite our mother, saying that there was a rare treasure and wanted to play with the mother, but the mother really couldn't refuse, so she left a message, saying that she was afraid of delaying Miss Yu's trip, and asked Miss to come back in a few days." ”

"Huh?" Yu Ruoxu was stunned for a moment, only to feel that the word "good things are grinding" is really appropriate, but he can't have a seizure at the moment, so he can only smile and say, "Then I'll come back tomorrow to say goodbye to my mother." β€œ

"The slave will send the young lady back." Aunt Yan said.

"I know the way myself, so I don't have to trouble my aunt anymore." Yu Ruoxu hurriedly excused herself. She needs to be alone now to calm the slight anger in her heart.

This Song nobleman, who didn't come early or late, dragged Liang Jieyu away when she entered the palace, and it was obvious that it was deliberate. Yu Ruoxu knew in her heart that from the first time she saw her, Song Guiren had inexplicable hostility towards her, sneered and sneered in front of her again and again, and secretly poisoned her when she begged for rain in Taimiao.

If it was because the Queen Mother wanted her to be the queen, so she attracted the jealousy of the Song nobles, it would be reasonable. However, she still remembers that on the day of the Taimiao turmoil, Song Guiren said to him, "This is the price of not being satisfied." The pretty face like a flower and the low and fierce voice made her linger all the time.

Where did he offend this noble man who was as beautiful as a snake and scorpion? She really wanted to break her head and didn't understand.

Her throat tightened a little, and she found herself in the Imperial Garden. In the huge garden, except for the occasional few little maids who were cleaning and passing by, there were hardly any other figures in sight.

Yu Ruoxu sighed, and the inexplicable daylight also had a sense of depression. was about to raise his feet and walk in the direction of the palace gate, only to see a cyan figure, holding a bright yellow cloak, hurriedly walking in another direction.

She was stunned, this cyan back-

It's that little eunuch in the temple!
