Chapter Seventy-Six: Can't Die
In the south of the Yangtze River, in the mountains next to the road, there are more and more disaster victims, and almost all of them are refugees who are starving and sinking their eyes along the road.
If you don't feel there, you can't experience it at all, and looking at the past, it is full of the shock of refugees, starving everywhere, and it is not a lie.
Many refugees are still dragging their families to other places to join relatives.
Seeing their ragged clothes, sallow skin, blank eyes, and sad expressions, Su Xiu and the others held their breath and watched silently, and occasionally someone fell on the side of the road, so they hurried over to help.
The dry food prepared along the way has all shone brightly.
Zhao Shu stopped on a rock, below is the turbulent river, the waves hit the rocks, showing the anger of nature, the water color has not returned to clear, it is still yellow.
Looking down, you can see that the water level in the river has risen a lot, and the river is not wide, and even if it is, it is not the time to cross the river.
It was raining heavily, densely, and the rain that fell seemed to form a line, about to overturn the earth in a world of water.
Wei Tingsi stood aside, holding an oil-paper umbrella, "Didn't you sleep well?" ”
He carefully found that Zhao Shu seemed to be a little unnatural, as if she was extremely tired.
Zhao Shu looked back at him and pulled out a reassuring smile, "It's okay, it's just that my eyelids keep jumping." ”
Today, her eyelids kept jumping, and at the same time she had a sense of foreboding.
Wei Tingsi's heart jumped, don't look at the turbulent river, today he also has his eyelids beating all the time, and his heart is uneasy, such uneasiness has not appeared for many years.
After looking at it for a moment, he retracted his gaze and said gently, "Let's go back." ”
"Yes."
At this time, in the capital, Huo Baichuan glanced back at the direction of Cining Palace, spit out turbidity, and Qiu Jishi, who met in the palace, happened to be out of the palace together, and when he saw him wandering out of the world, he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Didn't you bring your soul today?" ”
"What is the emperor looking for you?" He digressed from the subject.
Talking about business, Qiu Ji put aside the problem of Fang Cai for the time being, and said angrily: "It's not Zhou Lixing, what is the treasury is not abundant, and I don't agree to make up the money again, I'm angry, seeing that the academy is about to be completed, and the book hasn't been printed yet, you can talk about this grandson, and he deliberately can't get along with me at this time!" ”
Huo Baichuan didn't care very much, Qiu Zhishi said it indignantly, but he didn't get a response, and he suddenly became even more angry, "Hey, you haven't eaten today?" If you are weak, I'm talking to you about Zhou Lixing's grandson, you give a reaction. ”
"Now that the flood has not been removed, you are slowly, why bother to meet him in general." Zhou Lixing was so swishing and obediently agreed to allocate funds.
"Isn't it now collecting taxes from the major families? The money for disaster relief did not come from the treasury, so what did he do? It is precisely because the flood has not been eliminated that the academy is about to be completed quickly......" He babbled a lot, but once he found that Huo Baichuan was still embarrassed, he reached out and grabbed him, "What's wrong with you?" ”
The founder of Qiu Ji is called Qiu Fox, which is notoriously insidious and cunning, but Huo Baichuan and him are very compatible, the two glanced at each other, and coincidentally chose a restaurant, and went in.
Sitting down separately, the side dishes were all on the table, and the wine was full, Huo Baichuan said, "I'm about to marry a wife." ”
Qiu Ji began to squirt out a sip of wine, "What did you say?" After that, he reached out and probed Huo Baichuan's forehead, "Hey, no problem." ”
Talking to himself, he put the back of his hand on his forehead again, looking incredulous.
Huo Baichuan watched his pompous performance, raised his head and drank the sake in the cup, and put the wine glass on the table with a "bang", "You heard it right, I'm going to marry a wife." ”
After emphasizing it again, Qiu Jishi also put away the exaggerated expression on his face, and asked seriously: "Who are you going to marry?" ”
"Zhao Shu." Huo Baichuan looked at him with flirtatious eyes, and said it very unashamedly, as if it was normal as a matter of course.
Qiu Ji heard the two words at first glance, but he didn't know who it was, so he thought for a moment before asking, "Who is it?" ”
"King Yong, his daughter." Huo Baichuan gritted his teeth and said it, looking at Qiu Jishi's eyes, he was full of dissatisfaction, as for saying it so clearly!
Qiu Ji saw that he was deflated, he couldn't help it, he held his stomach and laughed, and Huo Baichuan on the other side had an indifferent face, and his face was blue when he was there.
After laughing for a while, tears flowed out, and then he barely held it back, and said with a red neck: "You suddenly had an epiphany?" Or is the emperor going to marry her to you? ”
"I asked to marry, are you satisfied?" My Fair Lady, Gentleman, is this a shame?
However, in Qiu Jishi's eyes, there was a naked ridicule and schadenfreude, as if to say, you also have today!
"She's not married with a marriage letter, is she?" In the autumn of these years, she also has a certain understanding of Zhao Shu, this woman is not simple, she has the demeanor of her mother, and she is even more ruthless than her mother, but she can marry just the words of the matchmaker of her parents.
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Huo Baichuan to say more, he continued: "You have a lot of admirers over the years, she seems to be quite familiar with you, and I don't think people seem to be very special about you...... Burst...... Hahahaha...... "Thinking of Huo Baichuan, who has a boundless vision, he will try his best to please Zhao Shu in the future, and he smiled unkindly.
On the other side, Huo Baichuan still had an indifferent face, looking at Qiu Jishi, who was about to be a grandfather at his age, and laughed without any image, and his schadenfreude and playful eyes made him feel the urge to beat someone.
"Have you laughed enough?"
Qiu Jishi is not a person who cares too much about the image, especially in front of Huo Baichuan, if the two were born in the same generation, they must be confidants and friends, but although they are a little different, they have a harmonious relationship, and they are recognized as a pair of year-old friends in the DPRK and China.
Smiled, tried to suppress the evil fantasy in his heart, and tried to squeeze out a sentence: "Married? ”
"Nope." Huo Baichuan added himself a glass of wine, "But I have made it clear to the Queen Mother that I want to marry her." ”
Thinking of the Queen Mother's stunned expression, he couldn't help but feel a little stuffy, and the Queen Mother still looked down on him very much, thinking that he was not as good as Xian'er!
Qiu Ji carefully observed his uncertain expression, and said coldly: "The Queen Mother disagrees?" ”
"How could the Queen Mother disagree, the Queen Mother was just reluctant to marry her baby granddaughter, saying that she would stay for two years and let me have more contact with Zhao Shu." He said stiffly, but his mind kept replaying the Queen Mother's unhappy eyes, and his heart was as uncomfortable as a knife.
Qiu Ji has been a court official for more than ten years, from the beginning of the crawling and rolling, mixed with the current wind and water, I don't know what the Queen Mother is thinking, but at this moment he is not ready to give Huo Baichuan face, and said with a scrutiny: "You haven't married a wife all these years, the Queen Mother won't suspect that you can't do it, right?" Or is it...... Hey, you speak, what do you do with wine, this is silver! ”
On the other side, Huo Baichuan didn't deliberately sprinkle wine, but he was angry, he didn't control his hand, swept the wine jug, and a pot of wine was scattered all over the ground.
Suddenly, the aroma of wine overflowed, and Huo Baichuan stood up: "There is going to be a war, the emperor will definitely choose a grain and grass official, I don't worry about others doing this, you are ready to prepare, and I will ask you to be the grain and grass official when the time comes." ”
Qiu Ji was a little reluctant, "I won the credit of others, and my name went down in history and was admired by thousands of people, I have nothing to do without me, and if I can't win, I have to be affected, don't do it." "The affairs of his academy have not yet been completed, do you want him to put down his work to help others chase beauty?
Don't think he doesn't know, Wei Tingsi also went to Jiangnan, this is clearly a drama of two men fighting for a woman, wanting to transfer Wei Tingsi, and then take the opportunity to start, it's really despicable, think that although he has the title of a fox, his character is still quite noble, how can he do such an unprincipled thing.
Don't do it, resolutely don't do it.
Huo Baichuan was not in a hurry, but said: "The matter of the academy's appropriation ......"
"What does the family say, everyone is colleagues, the country is in trouble, and when we need to stand up, how can this official stand by and watch, you can rest assured, the position of grain and grass official, the foolish brother will definitely do it."
Changing his face is faster than turning a book, and he speaks righteously, as if he is upright, and he looks like a good minister who is worried about the country and the people, if people who don't know the truth see it, they will be moved, give a thumbs up, and praise a good official!
When the troubled times are about to arise, without making some preparations, they are embarrassed to come out and get a piece of the pie, Huo Baichuan and Qiu Ji left the restaurant and returned home.
And, at this time, in the Four Princes' Mansion, Zhao Bi was practicing calligraphy in the study, on the pure white paper, what was written was a big Anzi, and I didn't know what the word meant.
"Shiro." Sun Jiao's voice sounded at the study door.
This 'Shilang' successfully made Zhao Bi's brows furrow, but he had to put down his pen and instructed Xiao Ruanzi: "Go and open the door." ”
Xiao Ruanzi's face was expressionless, and when he heard this, he bowed down and opened the door, and the moment his face was revealed, the corners of his mouth rose, and a respectful smile rose, "The fourth princess is here, His Royal Highness is waiting for you inside, please come inside." ”
Sun Jiao is even more shy now than before, looking like a happy little woman, she personally carried the food box and walked in, "It's hot, I boiled mint porridge for Shiro, I took the dew on the lotus leaves, boiled it for three hours, and then took it with ice, Shiro tasted it." ”
Zhao Bi took the porridge and put it aside, pulled Sun Jiao into his arms, smelled the fragrance on her body, and put his hand on her waist, "What kind of flower bath did you take today?" ”
"Shiro guesses." Sun Jiao was weak and boneless on Zhao Bi's body, and Xiao Ruanzi consciously withdrew from the study, and took the door and walked away, so as not to hear what he shouldn't hear.
Zhao Bi put Sun Jiao right, the two looked at each other, he bit Sun Jiao's lip lightly, "I can't guess for my husband, why don't I help my husband?" ”
"Shiro ......" Sun Jiao couldn't stand the teasing, so she put her hand on Zhao Bi's shoulder, and her breath had become heavy.
Although Sun Jiao is not as beautiful as Sun Yun, she is also a decent woman, and there is no ambiguity where there should be flesh in her body.
After a ****, Sun Jiao sat on Zhao Bi's lap, wrapped her hands around his neck, and Zhao Bi's whole head rested on her chest, "Jiaojiao hasn't been going out for a long time, I'm afraid your little sisters are going to forget you." ”
Sun Jiao replied lazily, "Isn't it that you can't get out?" ”
Zhao Bi's face turned cold, but he soon returned to normal, "I'm sorry for you, husband, and I have made you and me suffer." ”
"What did Shiro say, you and I are husband and wife, we are one, where do you want to say these useless words." Sun Jiao hugged Zhao Bi stupidly, her face was full of happiness.
"You understand the righteousness so well, which makes your husband even more guilty." He sucked Sun Jiao's chest, which made Sun Jiaojiao gasp again and again, "How can a husband bear to let Jiaojiao suffer you, it's better to give a post to your little sisters, invite them to come to the house as guests, and talk to you, how about it?" ”
"Shiro, don't you have a crush on my little sisters?" Sun Jiao pretended to be jealous and pouted, but she was not as cute as she thought in her heart.
Men use their lower bodies to think, sometimes they don't look at their faces, Zhao Bi put her on the table and pressed her up, "Your husband's heart is yours, but you have to speculate so much about being a husband, wronging your husband, you should be punished!" ”
"Shiro, don't, Shiro......" Her whole body was numb by Zhao Bi, and she said no, but her hand grabbed Zhao Bi tightly.
Another upside down, both of them were tired and sweating, Sun Jiao almost fell apart, Zhao Bi hugged her, and her tone was still a little dissatisfied, "Are you still wronged as a husband?" ”
Where does Sun Jiao still have time to think about anything else, and immediately disarm and surrender, "Okay, okay, Concubine Ming'er will post it, don't wronged Shiro, okay?" ”
"That's right, the only wish for a husband is to be a delicate person as his name, a delicate girl by the side of his father-in-law and mother-in-law in his mother's house, and a delicate wife by his husband's side, and his husband can't see you being wronged at all, and these days I have watched you and your husband being locked up in the house together, and my husband feels painful." He said it so seriously that anyone who read it except himself thought it was true.
Sun Jiao's eyes were so moved that her eyes were red, and she felt that her efforts were not in vain, and she even thanked God in her heart for letting her find the person in her life who could be in the same hole after death.
On the second day, the posts of the four princesses were sent out like water, and all the nobles in Beijing received them, naturally except for Sun Yun.
But even if she also gave Sun Yun a post, she couldn't receive it, and since she sent King Yong out of Beijing that day, she has encountered trouble.
"Girl, it seems that in addition to the second master's people, there is another group of people." Ma'an Road.
In a mountain stream, the water is flowing at your feet, and there is a palm-wide waterfall behind you, dripping down from the cliff.
Although the waterfall does not engulf a qiē or the deafening sound of water, it can provide a few people without dying of thirst for a few days.
"The second uncle is not dead." Sun Yun has pulled out all the Zhu hairpins, his hair is not combed, and his black bright hair is tied into a ponytail and hangs behind him, I don't know where she learned it, the ponytail shook a few times, and it was troublesome, so he wrapped the ponytail into a ball, and the hairpin was inserted, clean and neat.
Half a bundle will always have to worry about the image of her own girl, but she can't control it, at this time she cried with a face, someone outside was searching the mountains in a carpet style, she didn't dare to say more, just did it on the side.
"I don't know if the prince has anything to do, I think I've come to Chudi." Sun Yun squatted down and washed his hands, muttering to himself.
This sentence happened to be listened to by Banshu, and he answered: "If the prince is here, it would be fine, at least someone wants to save him, what should we do, girl?" She was anxious, Zhao Shu was not in the capital, who would come to save Sun Yun, who had no relatives and no reason?
After leaving the city that day, in order to hide people's eyes, Sun Yun sent half a mile more, King Yong just got off the carriage, rode straight to Chu County, less than half an hour after King Yong left, the killers who had already been ambushed by the side of the road swarmed in, blocking the way and the way.
As a last resort, Sun Yun led people to hide in the dense forest, the news could not be sent, the Sun family's family members were all dead, and the soldiers of the Yongwang Mansion did not follow, at this time there were only Banshu, Ma An, Ma Gui, and Ma Fu left around her, although several people were excellent, but they could not withstand the other party.
After listening to half of the words, Sun Yun was silent, picked up a clean stone and sat down, "Don't worry, you can't die." (To be continued.) )
