came out and instructed the people in the old man's room to wait, always paying attention to the old man's condition. At the beginning, I was really curious about the new world that Yun Xiu said, but later I heard the old man's explanation, and I was inexplicably panicked, and I couldn't raise the heart to ask Yun Xiu for details. Actually, I don't care much about what the old man said about avoiding disasters or something, if the Yun family really uses the method of breaking the whole into parts and eliminating the threat to the emperor, what other disasters can there be? Is it really good to escape to a strange place? At least in the Tiancao Kingdom, I can still guard Yun Zheng nearby.

"Sister-in-law!" An Yuanxi followed me silently, and only called out of the yard. I stopped and turned to look at him, and he frowned: "Why are you dressed like this?" ”

Only then did I realize that I was still dressed in men's clothes, and I just went to the old man's room before I had time to change it when I returned home, and a room full of people saw it, but fortunately, the old man didn't ask much. I looked at his face and his eyes silently, remembering what I had heard last night, and pursed my lips. Seeing that I was just looking at his face, he was stunned for a moment, and uncomfortably reached out and touched his face: "What's wrong?" ”

"Uncle, I have set you the daughter of the Jin family." As soon as my words came out, An Yuanxi's face froze. Lowering my eyelids, I whispered, "If you marry earlier, grandpa will be at ease." ”

His face was so cold that there was no expression, and there was no emotion in his eyes when he looked at me. I looked at him calmly, and for a while, the corners of An Yuanxi's lips moved slightly: "Everything is up to my sister-in-law." ”

My heart twitched slightly, and the feeling of blockage came up again. An Yuanxi took a step back: "I won't bother my sister-in-law." He turned around and strode out of my sight. I took a breath, turned my head, and walked in the opposite direction from him. It can only be like this, An Yuanxi, we can't stop our respective steps, the two intersecting lines, even if they intersect for a short time, as long as they continue to move forward, they will go farther and farther. That's all there is to it.

The old man was sick, and it was impossible to eat dinner with us again, so Nuo'er and I had dinner in our room and took him to see the old man. When I entered the room, I saw that An Yuanxi also went, the old man had just drunk the medicine, and he had no appetite after only eating a bowl of bird's nest for dinner. He leaned on the head of the bed and teased Nuo'er, Jin'er brought tea, Zi'er served a cup alone in front of me and An Yuanxi, and Jin'er took a cup and handed it to the old man. I frowned: "Grandpa, you just drank the medicine, let's drink less tea, tea is the antidote in the end." ”

Jin'er raised her eyelashes and glanced at me, the hand that handed the teacup hesitated, and the old man took the teacup with a smile and said, "It's not in the way, I've been drinking this cabbage for decades, and I'm a little unaccustomed to not drinking it." ”

I couldn't say anything, so I picked up my cup of Xiushan silver needle. After Yun Zheng passed away, I only drank this kind of tea, and through these stupid practices, I remembered everything about Yun Zheng. The old man, the little servant of the tea, is very careful, and every time the tea is served, it is according to our respective preferences. The old man is cabbage Xiangqu, I am Xiushan Yinzhen, An Yuanxi is Meishan Maofeng, and the tea set is also matched according to the respective surnames of the tea. For example, the white porcelain cup used for my Xiushan silver needle fully shows the form of the leaves standing in the water one by one; An Yuanxi uses a purple sand cup, which can completely release the fragrance of Meishan Maofeng. Speaking of which, An Yuanxi didn't pay much attention to tea before, and he didn't have a special hobby for tea, so he just had to get into his mouth, but after entering the Hou Mansion, he only drank the best Meishan Maofeng, and wealth was really easy to breed [***].

"It's still Jin'er's tea, it's delicious." I took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "If I were a grandfather, I would have to make it in tea every day." ”

Jin'er listened to the praise and smiled and narrowed her eyes. The old man also nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, this cabbage is fragrant, and if you change it to brew it, it almost tastes good, and it is not as good as Jin'er's craftsmanship." ”

"That's the Hou Ye's tea set." Jin'er is well-behaved and authentic. Zi'er said with a smile: "Hou Ye's bamboo purple sand pot is the work of the famous pot maker Zhu Shizhu, and the daughter can't ask for it, and the tea brewed is better than other tea sets." ”

I have seen the old man's bunch of bamboo purple clay pots, which is his love. It is said to be the most proud work of the world-famous pot maker Zhu Zhuzhu. The stone bamboo production attitude is rigorous, every time a pot is made, you have to be satisfied with yourself before you are willing to shoot, his surname is arrogant, in his later years he has rarely made a pot himself, only one per year, so the pot he made has been coaxed to a high price of thousands of taels of silver. This pot in the old man's hand is even more valuable, it is the last pot made by Zhushi Zhu, he died soon after it was made, and the last words left were to accompany the burial of this pot, and the old man used a thousand taels of gold to buy it from his family. I actually don't think that pot is very special, it's not the same as other bundle bamboo pots, all of them are tied together round bamboo for the body of the pot, plus a bamboo rope as a hoop, in addition to the craftsmanship of a little fine, I really can't see that such a pot can be worth a thousand taels of gold, it seems that I am really not a good tea person.

After drinking tea and accompanying the old man for a while, I saw that he was tired, and I didn't want to disturb him to rest, so I withdrew with An Yuanxi, and I had nothing to say, and went back to the room. The next day, as soon as it was dawn, I was awakened by a commotion outside the room, and just lifted the quilt and was about to get out of bed, Xiaohong had already hurriedly ran in, and said with a pale face: "Sister, the Hou Ye has gone to ......."

"What?" I grabbed her, "What did you say?" ”

"Master Hou has gone, the steward just came to me, and he is still waiting outside." Xiaohong's eyes turned red. I shook my body and almost fell to the ground, Xiaohong hurriedly helped me and cried: "Sister, don't worry......"

"How so? Hasn't Grandpa's condition eased? I saw him fine last night......" I murmured in disbelief, shaking my head, "how could it be ......"

"Sister......" Xiaohong cried sadly. I pushed her away, turned my feet and ran out of the door, Yun De stood outside the room, his face was full of tears, and when he saw me coming out, he knelt on the ground crying: "Young lady, Master Hou...... Went to ......"

My body went limp, and my mind suddenly emptied. Xiaohong rushed up to hold me tight, crying, "Sister......"

"Grandpa......" I jerked her away and ran out, "It's not true, Grandpa......"

Obviously last night was fine, we still drank tea and talked together, why did a good person overnight, say it's gone? I rushed into the old man's yard unkempt, and the courtyard was already full of crying, and the little maids knelt on the ground. I was chilled all over my body, and my body suddenly lost strength. "Sister!" Hearing the sound, the Stygian Flame tightened my body that was almost soft to the ground, I only felt that my steps were as heavy as a thousand catties, and the Stygian Flame helped me step by step into the room, and turned into the inner room, I saw Yun Xiu, An Yuanxi, Jin'er and Zi'er kneeling in front of the old man's bed, and they were a little dizzy in front of their eyes. "Young lady!" Except for An Yuanxi, everyone else called me with tears in their eyes, and the two little servants cried breathlessly. I looked at the straight, lean figure on the bed in a daze, and walked over step by step: "Grandpa......"

Throwing myself on the side of the bed and grabbing his hand, I looked at the old man with his eyes closed peacefully and his face pale, and hissed, "Grandpa...... Grandpa......"

His hands were cold, without a trace of warmth, I only felt that the coldness passed through my fingertips to my arms, flowed around my body, and passed to my heart, freezing my heart: "Grandpa, don't sleep, don't scare the girl, grandpa...... Grandpa......"

"Sister-in-law......" An Yuanxi's suppressed voice came from behind me, I didn't hear it, turned my head and grabbed the Stygian Flame: "Stygian Flame, you quickly give Grandpa a needle, you quickly save Grandpa......"

"Sister......" Stygian Flame grabbed my arm, "Don't get excited, you have to be careful with your own body, Master Hou...... It's the end of your life, and you mourn by the way......"

Die in one's bed? I looked at the old man on the bed in a daze, remembering the scenes from my acquaintance with him to my marriage into the Yun family, even if he had calculations for me, even if he was scheming, it was also within the bottom limit of what I could bear, and his care and care for me was also real, I had already regarded him as a relative in my heart, and regarded him as my reliance on the Yun family, but even he left me, and the sky of the Yun family collapsed.
