Chapter 068: Gunsmoke Spreads
The snow that had stopped in the evening began to fall again.
Ah Jiu led Zu Gongluo in, the silver-gray crane with dark red and sparse plums was dotted with snow, the eyebrows with a green jade buckle on his forehead, and in his hand, he was carrying a thirty-six-bone concubine bamboo oil paper umbrella.
"Ah Jiu, don't take the second young master's umbrella yet."
Shanbao has sat dignified on the big kang near the window, changed into dry clothes, in front of him is a red clay brazier, still holding a copper hand stove in his hand, all the way back to the old north wind, wet clothes instantly frozen into ice, feet are also like stepping on an ice lump, the brain is like being frozen, the face is still pale until now, one after another sneezing, roasted by the fire, like a frozen autumn pear, cold overflowing from the inside out, knowing that he will inevitably get sick, he wanted Ah Ke to boil ginger soup, first came to Zu Gongqing, and then came to Zu Gongluo.
Ah Jiu bent his knees and said to his grandfather: "The second young master forgives the sins, the slave maid is used to doing rough work, and has developed the problem of carelessness. ”
Zu Gongluo only handed the umbrella to Ah Jiu, looked at Zu Gongqing and said, "The fifth child is here." ”
Zu Gongqing nodded: "The second brother is also here." ”
was very polite, Zu Gongqing asked casually, but Zu Gongqing was a little inexplicably nervous, as if the second brother had done something unseemly and was bumped into by him.
Zu Gong hummed a little simply, and said to Shanbao: "What happened just now?" ”
Shanbao knew that he was asking about his accidental invasion of the bath, and sighed that he was really discerning, and looked at the window with palpitations: "Someone wants to kill me." ”
Zu Gongluo followed her gaze and looked over, the window latch had been broken by a sharp weapon, and he understood the general situation. Again, "Who can you see?" ”
Shanbao shook his head: "I only saw the back, but it happened that I was outside the house at the time, and I saw two people entering through the window." So I ran as hard as I could, but I didn't think I could get to ...... Ahh ”
Feeling rude, I hurriedly blocked my mouth and nose with my hands.
Zu Gongqing Huo Erqi said: "Dad just had an accident, and the family was in chaos, if you can't stop Hu Haijiao, it's still excusable, after all, he has more troops, but someone actually committed murder at home." Second brother, you say, when this matter spreads, the entire Lei Gong Town has to laugh at our family. ”
Zu Gong frowned slightly and pondered, and met Shanbao in the bath. He wanted to tell Shanbao that he had mentioned to Prime Minister Yu Qi that Ruan Lang had killed the son of the former prime minister, and that the government had arrested Shanbao's family, but Yu Qi promised to personally inquire about the matter. Other words. Shanbao's family no longer had to hide in Tibet, and Wen Wanyi's sudden appearance made him have to swallow his words back.
Hearing that someone wanted to kill Shanbao at home, he thought of many people, not only Wen Wanyi, but also Shanbao sitting in a high place, and that seat was coveted by many people in the ancestral family, and it took time to find out about it. And what needs to be solved in front of the eyes is the safety of Shanbao.
He didn't speak, and others accompanied him in silence for a long time. Out of the corner of his eye, he found Ah Jiu standing on the side, and said, "Go ......" I wanted to say that I was going to boil a bowl of ginger soup for Shanbao to ward off the cold, but he was suddenly silent, thinking that Shanbao was not what it used to be, and the name engraved in his heart, but he could no longer easily call it out, his mind was heavy, he turned his head to look at Ah Ke, and said softly: "Go and boil some ginger soup." ”
Ke answered "yes" and walked out.
Zu Gongluo also walked out and dropped a sentence: "You two go to the flower hall and wait." ”
The two of you, of course, refer to Shanbao and Zu Gongqing.
Zu Gongqing got up and bowed to Shanbao and said, "Little lady, please." ”
For this new identity, Shanbao felt very funny, in short, now the ancestral family is in a mess, her heart is also messy, everything is clueless, when Li Qingzhao knocked her out and blocked the front of Zu Gongyuan, Zu Baishou pointed to her and set the head of the ancestral family compound, at the first moment she wanted to refuse, the reason why she acquiesced was to consider that her family was in a murder case, Zu Baishou was not dead, even if he couldn't live, who knows if he told others about the murder, not to mention that there is someone who knows the details, And Zhu Laoliu, who betrayed her father, in order to ensure the safety of the family, she thought that maybe it would be a wise move to stay in her ancestral family.
I don't know what Zu Gonglu asked her to do in the flower hall, so she asked Zu Gongqing to go first, and she just changed into dry clothes, and her hair was not combed well, so she entered the inner room and called Ah Jiu to comb her hair, Ah Jiu was used to being rough, and took a peach comb to cut off a few of Shanbao's hair, and failed to twist it into a regular bun, and finally Shanbao simply put it behind his head, looked up at Ah Jiu, and blushed with embarrassment, and she had a stone blue square scarf wrapped around her head.
Shanbao grabbed her hand and looked at it, and it was covered with old people who did not match her age and appearance.
Shanbao sighed slightly, took his makeup, which was given by the ancestral family, and grabbed a handful at random and gave it to Ah Jiu and said, "Split it with Ah Ke." ”
Ah Jiu looked at her in surprise, and suddenly understood that it was rude for her to stare at her grandmother like this, and she hurriedly lowered her head, since she sold herself to be a slave in her ancestral family, she had never received such courtesy, so she was so grateful that she shed tears: "Slave, don't dare to ask for it." ”
Shanbao forced it into her hand, and then said, "Accompany me to the flower hall." ”
When she and Ah Jiu arrived at the flower hall, they found that the male and female masters of the ancestral family had almost arrived, and even Zu Baifu and the Dou family had been found, and everyone was talking about it, and they didn't know why the second young master invited them to come.
Aunt Li yawned, feeling indecent, and hurriedly covered half of her face with her sleeve, and complained: "I was asleep, and I was dragged out of the hot bed, which is really more uncomfortable than a beating." ”
Aunt Meng persuaded: "If there is no big thing, people like the second young master will not disturb us." ”
Aunt Hao is a moody person, so she is silent.
Aunt Qiao was a little happy, Tete wore a goose yellow shirt, and added an emerald green gown, the whole person looked tender, as if she had just come out of the soil, and looked at Wen Wanyi from time to time, making comparisons in her heart, feeling that her makeup tonight was better than the other party, and she was relieved.
Zu Baifu sat at the top, and the others sat in the two compartments according to their age, and Zu Jingwan Zu Jinghao was behind Aunt Hao, and everyone didn't say hello when they saw Shanbao, let alone get up, and directly ignored her.
Zu Gongqing was chivalrous and pointed to everyone: "Grandma has arrived, haven't you seen it?" ”
Zu Jing was so lively and active, she ran over and grabbed Shanbao's hand and giggled: "You don't care much about me, I have to call your mother, so stubborn." ”
Mother is the venerable woman of a high-ranking family, and the children of the concubine need to respect the main room as the mother, and the biological mother can only be called an aunt, and the ancestral compound is not strict, and the young master and young lady call their biological mother their mother.
Shanbao Chao Zujing was amused, so many children suddenly appeared, and most of them were older than her, I am afraid she could not have dreamed of it.
Zu Baifu's butt did not leave the chair, but said lightly: "Sister-in-law is also here." ”
Looking at Zu Baifu, who was nearly half a hundred years old, called his sister-in-law, Shanbao felt goosebumps all over his body, and he didn't even know how to greet him, he only smiled at the corner of his mouth, which was a response, and then it was even more embarrassing, there was no extra chair for her to sit in the flower hall, and no one told her to move the chair to her.
Trample...... Trample...... Trample......
The men and women of the ancestral family, except for the juniors and maidservants, all sat well and talked happily, only Shanbao was held in the corner by Ah Jiu, and the figure of the cocoon made people feel pitiful.
"Second uncle, you are sitting in the wrong place." Zu Gongluo had an intriguing smile on the corner of his mouth, and looked at Zu Baifu fixedly. (To be continued.) )
