Chapter 106: Returning Home (2)

In the past two days, Chu Lunyu was not only worried, but self-blame and fear enveloped him, he didn't understand why he left a few children to return to Beijing alone at that time.

Almost as soon as he closed his eyes, what he saw in front of him was what the Jiang family, the Sun family, and Chu Weiyu looked like when they were carried back.

He was afraid, he was afraid that there would be a carriage from their Chu Mansion buried in the rocks.

If that's the case, let alone explain anything to the ancestors and ancestors, he won't be able to live on his own.

After Ru Niang went, he only had this pair of children.

Feeling that his father's body was trembling, Chu Weilin reached out and hugged Chu Lunyu back, and said in a dumb voice: "Father, are we okay......"

The three of them were sad for a while, and Chu Lunxu came over and persuaded: "Sixth brother, you see that the children are all fine, let's not delay here, it's important to go back to the house quickly and let them settle down."

Chu Lunliang also echoed: "No, although I sent someone to go back quickly, but these days, everyone is worried, and I can't put my mind at ease if I don't see a lively person." ”

After a few words of persuasion, they were urged to set off.

Chu Weilin touched the moist corners of her eyes, turned her head and saw Chu Weiyi sitting in the corner with a look of affection, and understood in an instant.

"Wei Ai, your fifth uncle and I came to look for you, your father is the eldest son, and he has to take care of his mother, so he stays at home. He is also very concerned about you these days, and he is waiting for news in the house on leave. Chu Lunyu also found out, and whispered comfortingly.

When Chu Weiai heard this, she thought of how her parents treated her on weekdays. He replied in a low voice.

Chu Weiai understands the truth, the sixth sister and the fifth brother are the tip of the sixth uncle's heart, how could the uncle not come to look for them, although the fifth uncle has no children who have suffered outside, but he is a concubine, this is not to be eye-to-eye with Yishuntang and grandmother, it is better to follow to help the handle, grandmother hurt her foot, and it is normal for my father to be unable to leave.

Lowering his eyes, Chu Weiai squeezed the handkerchief in his hand. If it is the eldest sister who suffers today. No matter how hard my father is, my mother will come.

Chu Weiai's thoughts that were going around and around couldn't be said to anyone else, so she could only hold it in her heart alone, and she looked at Chu Weilin and Chu Weicong enviously. I can make my father hold it in the palm of his hand like this. She didn't dare to think about it in her life.

The carriage was not going fast. First, there are many people on this road, and secondly, the road is not easy to walk after the rainstorm, and it takes almost twice as long as usual to reach the city gate.

Shun lĂŹ entered the city. When they arrived outside the Chu Mansion, when they saw them happily returning to the house, they immediately went to report the good news.

On the hanging flower door, Baolian helped Lu Lu's mother to wait.

Seeing that the two sisters and brothers were dressed cleanly, and the whole person was in good spirits, that is, Chu Weicong was walking a little bent, and Mother Lu breathed a long sigh of relief: "It's considered to be back, it's really frightening to the slave." ”

Halfway through the words, there was already a crying voice.

Chu Weicong hurriedly comforted Lu's mother and explained his foot injury.

Chu Weiyi followed behind Chu Weilin without saying a word, and raised her eyes to see the He family hurrying in the distance, and a flash of anticipation flashed in her eyes.

Xiangzhang helped He Shi to walk under his feet, and He saw a few children, and the first sight fell on Chu Weicong's feet: "What's wrong?" Does it hurt? ”

The light in Chu Weiai's eyes dimmed suddenly, and He Shi turned his head and hugged her shoulder and asked softly, and she only answered two words simply.

He passed on Mrs. Zhang's words, and asked them to go back to the house to freshen up and tidy up, and go to Yishun Hall an hour later, Chu Weilang and Chu Weikun saw this, so they went back to Zhangrong Courtyard to resume their lives.

Chu Weilin returned to Qinghui Garden, the hot water was carried into the clean room, and Baolian urged Bao Hibiscus and Liuyu, who had worked hard for a few days, to go back to rest first, and wait for Chu Weilin to bathe by herself.

"Girl, I've been really anxious these days, but fortunately, the Bodhisattva blesses me and is safe."

Immersed in hot water, Chu Weilin was a little sleepy, squinted her eyes and answered twice, Baolian saw it, smiled low and didn't say more.

After changing into clean clothes and combing her hair, Baolian instructed Manniang to send a strong hot tea, Chu Weilin took a few sips, and finally slowly sobered up.

Thinking that she was going to Yishun Hall for a while, Chu Weilin asked Baolian, "Why did Grandmother fall down in a good way?" ”

Pauline blinked her eyes and said in a low voice: "The old lady fell on the gravel path in the garden, Holly helped the old lady, and didn't notice the gravel under her feet, the old lady fell for a while, and Holly didn't hold it again, and fell together." ”

Chu Weilin couldn't help frowning after hearing this, this is really unusual.

There are several ways to go back to Yishun Hall from Zhangrong Courtyard, and according to Mrs. Zhang's habit on weekdays, she took the green curtain car to come back through the hall, that is, they are young and love to watch flowers and enjoy the scenery, and they are not in a hurry to pass through the garden.

In the garden, most of the bluestone slabs paved the way out, and the stone road is just that, going around and around, because the soles of the feet are uncomfortable to walk, very few people walk.

Besides, there are flowers and trees on both sides of the road, how could Mrs. Zhang come to the flowers and trees on a whim?

These doubts were still in Chu Weilin's heart when she arrived at Yishun Hall, and after greeting her, she was concerned about the old lady's injured foot.

Mrs. Zhang squinted her eyes and said, "I'm old and useless, I can't walk on my feet, and I hurt my muscles and bones for a hundred days, and I'm going to recuperate until winter." ”

When Chu Weilin heard Mrs. Zhang say this, she obviously didn't want to mention the events of that day more, and she wouldn't tell them why they took that road, so she didn't want to ask more.

On the contrary, Mrs. Zhang asked them about their situation in the past few days.

Chu Weilin answered them one by one.

Knowing that she had met Chang Yuyun, she avoided Changfu Zhuangzi for two nights and did not go to the temple to spend the night, Mrs. Zhang bowed her head slightly and glanced at He.

He was also surprised when he heard it from Chu Weiai's mouth, the two families are in-laws and are discussing relatives, as long as there is nothing out of the ordinary, it is reasonable to stay overnight in that case, it is better than the two girls' families taking refuge in a crowded temple with people who don't know their origins.

Seeing Mrs. Zhang's eyes signaling to her, He got up and said with a smile: "This is also taken care of by the in-laws' house, and the daughter-in-law will prepare a thank you gift and send it to the Chang Mansion in a while." ”

Reasoning is unavoidable.

Mrs. Zhang gave a few more orders before letting He go down.

The brothers and sisters went to Zhangrong Courtyard again, and after some confessions, they dispersed.

In the dead of night, Lu's mother sat under the lamp to take the soles of Chu Weicong's shoes, and Chu Weilin said several times, but she refused to hand over this work to the people below.

Chu Weilin thought that Mother Lu had been in the mansion for a long time, and compared to Liuyu, she might still remember some things next to Qiong Nan, so she asked, "Does Mom recognize Qiong Nan next to the third aunt in the past?" ”

At first hearing this name, Mother Lu stopped the hand of threading the needle in her hand and turned her head: "How could the girl ask about her?" ”

Chu Weilin didn't hide it from Lu's mother, and said all the words that Chu Weiyi whispered in her dream that night.

When Lu's mother heard "a lot of blood", she instinctively recited a Buddha name, and then recalled it carefully.

After all, it was a matter of many years ago, and it was in the Western courtyard, and Mother Lu is not a person with a long tongue, so she doesn't stare at it every day, but she still has a little impression of Qiong Nan, the maid.

"The slave maid remembers that Qiong Nan has a round face and big eyes, and her earlobes are very thick, which is what Yu's mother often says about the blessed appearance, and even the old lady recited a few words about Qiong Nan's good face at that time." If there were other maids who had been on duty in the third room, Lu's mother might not remember, but it was because Yu's mother often praised that Lu's mother would remember, "The third wife also believes in palmistry, and trusts Qiong Nan very much, there seems to be a rumor that the third lady wants to lift Qiong Nan, and the old lady and the third master seem to have nodded their heads, so they will wait for the third lady to choose a day to open her face." ”

There were still such rumors, which surprised Chu Weilin.

She originally thought about whether it was because Qiong Nan had thoughts that she shouldn't have, or because Qiong Nan had some handle from the He family, so she was suppressed by the He family, but when she heard Lu's mother say this, it obviously didn't seem like that.

Since the He family has thought of lifting Qiong Nan, it makes some unreasonable to say that she can't tolerate this maid, besides, isn't it said that the He family controls no aunt in the courtyard, isn't Aunt Shen still there?

Aunt Shen was also born as a maid in He's house, and she also raised Chu Weiyao in Shun Li, since the He family can let Aunt Shen, who is not the same heart as her, dangle in front of her for more than ten years, how could she favor one over the other and pinch Qiong Nan, the maid she trusts very much?

There must be something else going on here, they just don't know.

Chu Weiai mentioned blood in her dream, did Qiong Nan, who disappeared from the Chu Mansion that year, die or saved a life?

Chu Weilin was curious, she hadn't held a little bit of He's soft place so far, so she couldn't be reassured.

In the previous life, the He family could be so crazy, and in this life, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no more moths, beating snakes and hitting seven inches, and there can be a handle in hand, and when there is a case, it will not be pointed at by the He family.

"Girl......" Mother Lu frowned, under the light, the wrinkles on her face were very deep, "The slave doesn't remember very well, but I have a vague impression, it seems that that year, after Qiong Nan left the house, the eighth girl had a serious illness." ”

Chu Weilin raised her eyebrows.

Chu Weiai was still very young that year, and it was probably because she was frightened when she saw something.

It is not easy to find out the trajectory of a maid whose life and death have been unknown for many years, and it is not easy to ask other people rashly, if it reaches the He family, it will be a trouble, Chu Weilin is not in a hurry, this is the same as the Ruan family's matter, as long as you have a heart, how many old things will be slowly turned out by the other party unconsciously, it just takes some time.

Life in the house is back on its old track.

As soon as the ghost moon passed, four days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Liu Zhaoyi in the palace gave birth to a prince.

Chu Weilin clearly remembered that when the little prince was full moon, Liu Zhaoyi, the saint of Longyan Dayue, was a virtuous concubine, ranking as the fourth concubine, and the Liu family, which already had a background, kept a low profile for more than ten years, and after that, no one dared to underestimate it, and even the Liu family in the Changfu spoke a lot harder when facing the Da Zhao family and Chu Lunxin.
