Chapter 249: Return to the Bai Family
*Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival. Lan Lan is miserable, working overtime until the evening today, and working overtime tomorrow, I am really physically and mentally exhausted, and I only have to cry*
In order to hurry, Zhirong did not take a carriage, but rode a prairie horse. And Yanhua walked side by side with her. He looked at Zhirong's skillful horseback riding skills, and remembered the clumsy girl who would fall off when she sat on the horse. Just one year later, she has become more resilient and independent.
Time is sometimes a good thing to forget about worries and sorrows, and even to let go of hatred. But sometimes it is enough to make people gradually become strangers and alienated, and it seems like a lifetime in an instant.
However, a life is so long, and how many such moments appear in life. Whether it's good or bad, it's an extraordinary reward to feel like this, and if you are paranoid about this moment and can't get out, then how can you live the long night ahead.
To say that there is no slightest estrangement between him and Zhirong, Yan Hua knows that it is self-deception. However, even if there is a gap, he is willing to fill the thin ravine with a life composed of a little instant. The moment he gave up Jingtang, he understood what Zhirong wanted before.
It's not a golden threaded clothes, it's not a golden jade, fame and fortune, it's just plain and indifferent together. It's a pity that he didn't understand it at that time, but now that he is by Zhirong's side, I believe that he will soon be able to return to the days before.
He wants to give Zhirong a safe and stable life, instead of spending his days in the harem battles, without intrigue. You don't have to be upset, you just need to rely on him and keep going. Such a good life. He didn't understand it before. And Jin Zixuan obviously understood Zhirong's mind better than him.
Thinking of that person, Yan Hua lowered his eyes, and a trace of anger flashed but quickly dissipated. Just because Jin Zixuan gave up revenge, his relationship with Zhirong is not ordinary. Those extremely difficult days were when he was by Zhirong's side. If he held on to him again, Zhirong would definitely be even more alienated from him.
The two had little communication along the way, but the scenery along the way was very beautiful, and Zhirong couldn't help but take a few more looks. I didn't see a single scenery, and Yanhua told me the origin and characteristics of this scenery. Zhirong listened carefully, as if listening to the sound of heaven.
She had dreamed of this life countless times a year ago, and it has finally come true today. She listened carefully to Yan Hua's words. Sometimes I would say something with a smile, and the cold atmosphere between the two gradually thawed with the warm spring sun.
Zhirong planned to bury Xia Yunshang first and then return to the Bai family, so he bypassed Kaizhou City and went to the countryside. She buried Xia Yunsheng'an with General Ji, and then put on the tribute wine. Knelt down and kowtowed three times. "Master. I have helped you make your wish, and I hope you and your husband will meet. Disciples must remember Master's teachings and will not let you down. ”
"Xia Shang Palace." Yan Hua also knelt down and kowtowed three times at this time, and said solemnly; "Please rest assured, from now on, Zhirong will be guarded by me, and in this life and the next life, I will not let her be wronged again. Please bless us. ”
The two stood up. Zhi Rong looked at him steadily, "How dare you be sure of the next life." Can we still get acquainted? It is not easy to stay together for a lifetime. Let's just say that my mother didn't end up being killed, and my father, who married one lady after another, was also happy. ”
Yan Hua held her hand tightly and looked at her face, she had become much haggard again in the past few days. However, although Fang Cai's words did not like her expression, he smiled.
"Rong'er, you are not your mother, and I am not your father. We are just us, the only couple in the world. Rong'er, it's not easy for people to trust each other, and it's rare to be together, can you trust me again? ”
Zhirong held his hand and nodded: "Okay, let's give ourselves a chance." "Time is too fast, she can't wait, and she can't run. She is almost twenty years old, how many days can her youth be wasted? What's the point of torturing others if you mistake yourself.
After the two were buried, Xia Yunshang returned to the Bai family. As soon as Zhirong entered Kaizhou City, he saw the head of the Bai family waiting at the gate of the city with several gorgeous carriages and a group of Xiaosi. When I saw her, I was as excited as if I had seen a fairy.
"Oh, three girls. You're back! The housekeeper greeted him, and suddenly realized that his words were wrong, and hurriedly corrected it with a flattering smile: "The little one is wrong, it should be King Rong, the small Bai family's inner courtyard Wang Fu asked King Rong for peace, and for Grandpa Yan." ”
"Get up, I'm tired too, I want to go into the house and rest quickly." Zhirong is really not used to making a big splash. Now the eyes of the people around are focused on her and Yan Hua, and there are still people talking quietly.
"That's the three girls of our Kaizhou Bai family in the past, Shanggong Bureau Shanggong, and now she is the king of the north, but she is really a heroine among women."
What's more, she also helped the current emperor fight the world, but she is a celebrity in front of the emperor. Great hero. ”
"That Grandpa Yan is really a talent, and the two really know each other very well."
Zhirong hurriedly got into the carriage, accompanied by Chunhua. And Yanfeng got on one by himself. The other girls sat in one, so that the three carriages slowly moved forward on the main street of Kaizhou City.
Wang Fu, who was the leader, looked at the envious eyes around him very proudly, his chin was raised high, and he almost went to the sky.
"I heard that the Bai family drove King Rong out of the temple, and this time he took it back so diligently, isn't this a slap in the mouth?"
"Hmph, if they don't answer, they'll slap themselves in the mouth. It is said that King Rong did not have a good relationship with his family, and Lord Bai and his wife treated her very badly in the past. This will come to be courteous. People may not appreciate it! ”
A woman who is dressed delicately and has a pair of peach blossom eyes that can hook away a man's soul in the blink of an eye opens her thin red lips: "Isn't it, King Rong's motherly love is the descendant of Shen Zhihua, the founder of the Shanggong Palace, who was killed by the Bai family in the early years." Naturally, she will not accept the favor of the Bai family, maybe she will come back to take revenge. ”
The woman's eyes are unusually bright, and the two thin lips like cherry blossom petals look both bewitching and delicate. She grinned and walked away with the maid. Only then did someone wake up and shout: "It's Lin Fei'er!" ”
"How is it possible, didn't Lin Fei'er leave Kaizhou from Liang a long time ago?"
The man smiled mysteriously: "You don't know that this Lin Fei'er has a lot of industries in Kaizhou. It is said that her relationship with King Rong is not ordinary. ”
The carriage walked to the main gate of the Bai family, and Bai Yanchang took the Cui family and the ladies, young masters, girls, and daughters-in-law of each room to greet her carriage. When she got out of the carriage, she was startled by the battle. A chill ensued.
I saw Bai Yanchang's oily face and smile stiffly: "My good daughter, I miss you to death as a father." During the days when you had an accident, you couldn't eat or sleep as a father. Now that you have made great contributions and become kings, you are really a good daughter of my Bai family. As he spoke, he went to pull Zhirong's hand.
Zhirong shook off his hand without giving face, his face was cold, and his tone was very flat. "I came back because of something, not to catch up, and besides, I am not a member of the Bai family for a long time. It's really embarrassing for you to call me like that, Lord Bai. ”
Bai Yanchang's face turned pale, knowing that he didn't pay attention. But he still licked his old face and smiled: "Oh, my daughter blames me." I do blame me for this. It's because I didn't find out the facts in the first place. I've wronged you. Now that you are king, you can always forgive your father's sins. ”
"That's it, King Rong, you don't know. When the lord knew that you were wronged, you didn't sleep all day and lost a lot of weight. He really hurts you. A woman in a purple gown squirmed forward. actually stood beside Cui's. This woman is the spring rain that is now in the inner courtyard of the Bai family.
And Cui didn't seem to see it. Just stared at Zhirong with air-conditioned eyes. It was a look at the enemy, if it weren't for the presence of others, I was afraid that Zhirong would be able to eat it.
Siniang stood behind without saying a word, just nodded and smiled at Zhirong with Zhiyan and Zhanqi, Zhirong returned them with a smile and turned to face Chunyu coldly: "What kind of thing are you talking to this king like this, and standing side by side with the lord and lady, without the slightest dignity and rules!" ”
turned to Bai Yanchang and said: "The good tutor of the lord is to teach such a concubine." Dare to ask if you can talk to VIPs like this in the Bai family's low-level concubine room? ”
Chunyu's face turned red with anger when she heard this, and she pouted unconvinced: "King Rong, the concubine is not a low-level concubine now. I'm in charge of half of the house! ”
Zhirong sneered and ignored her. "Lord Bai, did you just leave Grandpa Yan there? The hospitality of the Bai family is really not as good as before. Could it be that in front of Grandpa Yan, do you want to take such a woman with you and be embarrassed? ”
Bai Yanchang made a fuss, and then remembered that there was still a Yanhua who was not entertained. After glaring at Chunyu fiercely, he hurriedly took the banner to greet Yanhua.
Yanhua's identity is more noble than before, and his temperament is also better. Bai Yanchang felt an inexplicable sense of oppression that made him breathless. But fortunately, Yan Hua is good at Zhanqi, and he is less embarrassed.
Chunhua, Qiushi, Dongxiu, Qing'er and others followed closely behind Zhirong, while Shen Qing followed into the inner courtyard with a group of guards and swords. Scared those maids and women trembling.
"Why don't you see the old ancestor?" Zhirong asked Siniang strangely.
Siniang sighed: "The old ancestor is sick, and he can't get out of bed, and now it is Si Fang who is waiting." You don't know, what has become of this family during your absence, since Zhanyuan went to prison, the eldest lady doesn't care about anything at all, if you come back this time, she is afraid that she will come to you to intercede, and the second lady is afraid that she will also find you. ”
Zhirong's refusal to kill Bai Zhanyuan did not mean conniving at him, so he handed him over to Dali Temple and went to prison. I can keep my life, but I can't be an official from now on. Zhao Ru proposed the clutch at that time and moved back to her parents' house. The child left behind by Li'er can now walk and talk, and has been taken care of by Wu Niang.
And the second lady Hua must be for Zhi Yao. After Yue Beicheng's death, Yue's family was raided, and Zhiyao had to return to the Bai family to live, but she was blinded everywhere, and the Hua family hated Zhirong while taking her as a savior. And Zhiyao only has hatred.
However, these people didn't want to take it to heart. Whoever asks to see him will not see him. only chatted with Siniang, Wuniang, and Zhiyan, and occasionally Liuniang also came over, and she also spoke happily, and there was no mustard. Liu Niang secretly regretted that she did not rely on Zhirong like Si Niang. Now I want to cling to it, but I can't open that mouth.
"Zhiyan, I heard that Wei Tingwen is vying to accept you as an apprentice during my absence? Have you figured out, whether to practice embroidery or medicine? "Zhirong came back this time to solve many years of grievances, and secondly, to plan for these relatives.
Zhirong's smart eyes turned, and her usual eyelashes blinked, "I can't compare to Zhishuang in terms of embroidery, and I can't compare to my sister." However, in terms of medical science, I have been studying for the past year, and Wei Shanggong also said that I am very talented and has given me a lot of books and medicinal materials. I still want to go to the hospital. ”
"Okay, go back to Beijing this time, you can become with me, this time I'm afraid it's to enter the Shanggong Bureau, and I won't be able to come back for a long time. Siniang is going to be lonely. ”
"Where, I still have a flag. King Rong can think so carefully for the four girls, I am already grateful. Siniang was full of joy, and Zhirong really did what she said. Although she has experienced a trough, she can still make such a big career, she is really not an ordinary woman, and she is fortunate not to be in the wrong position at the beginning.
"And I'm with the fourth sister." Wu Niang, who had few words, smiled softly, followed by a cough.
Zhirong hurriedly asked, "Isn't Wu Niang's health okay?" Do you want to ask the medicine lady in the palace to take a look? ”
Wu Niang smiled and waved her hand: "King Xie Rong is kind." That's how my life has been. I was too sick to be healed. ”
Zhirong let go of her and motioned Siniang to leave with the others with her eyes. Only she and Wu Niang were left in the room.
"Wu Niang, back then, my mother was killed by Bai Yanchang, Cui's and the old ancestor, right?" She glanced at Wu Niang, who was suddenly stiff next to her.
Wu Niang barely supported her body and whispered, "Yes." ”
"Then, Wu Niang, what role did you play back then?" Zhirong stood up and asked with a sneer, "If you don't save you when you die?" Accomplice? Or is it an accomplice? Your mother's green lantern ancient Buddha pretended to be crazy and stupid, and you also fell into a problem, is it because of remorse or guilt? ”
Wu Niang didn't sit down firmly and fell down from the chair, she simply sat on the ground with her hands and covered her face and cried. After a while, she raised her head and choked up: "King Rong, I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for your mother!" I knew that there was poison in the bowl at the beginning, and the ancestor told me to give the medicine to your mother to drink, and I didn't dare to disobey. I could only watch her smoke. I'm guilty, I deserve to die, just ask you not to blame Zhanyuan's child. ”
Zhirong closed her eyes and took a deep breath, and when her heart was smoother, she turned her back to Wu Niang and said abruptly: "I am a person with clear grievances, you secretly protect me so much, I will not treat you to what you do, and what does the affairs of the previous generation have to do with the children." I want to find the ancestor and eldest lady of the Bai family to settle this account, after waiting for so many years, it is time to settle it! ”
The Bai family's influential women, Old Lady Bai and Cui's family, are the culprits, and Zhirong is going to find them now. The Cui family has declined because it was a royalist party before, and the Cui family's status in this mansion has also plummeted.
And the old lady Bai was sick in bed, and when Zhirong saw her horrible sobbing face, the thoughts of revenge suddenly disappeared. Although she is such an old man, she can't do it. Si Fang served carefully on the side, and his eyes were also full of vigilance. (To be continued......)
