Chapter 69: Funeral Report (I)

Chapter 69: Death

Changting slept very well all night, it was rare to wake up without dreams, and he did not fall into boundless chaos as soon as he fell asleep, and he was always very stable.

Meng Tuo held his hands behind the back of his head, and quietly looked at the curtain of the plain silk white yarn falling downward, turning over to the left after a while, and then turning over again every other time, his chest was inexplicably stuffy, and after coughing lightly, he finally calmed down.

Meng Tuo couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning all night, and in the second half of the night, he fell asleep with his eyes closed in a daze, but it seemed that he dreamed of his mother who died early.

The person in the dream cannot see the outline clearly.

He could only vaguely see his mother Yu Shi walking forward with her back to him, and when she walked, her skirt fluttered, like lotus petal ripples.

He also called behind him, "Mother, Mother, Mother"

Yu kept moving forward and never looked back.

"Mother!"

Meng Tuo propped his elbows on the bed board, half-bowed his head, gasping for breath, wiping his forehead with his hands, and his hands were covered with sweat.

Meng Tuo turned his head, the small candle light flickered, perhaps it was almost burned, or it was blown out by the wind that rushed in through the gap in the window lattice, and the candle flame that had not been extinguished was the most sorrisome, and he was reluctant to rekindle it, and he was always afraid that he would fall into unbearable darkness and loneliness in the next moment.

Meng Tuo buried his head and was silent, and simply got up and blew out the candle.

It's going to be dark anyway, and if you blow it out, you don't have to wait in fear.

The second brother said that the hardest thing in this world is to live mediocrely, and he doesn't see it at all - waiting is the most grinding work in this world.

I don't know when, what, and in what way it will leave him, it's like putting a shackle on my hands, and I don't know when it will be buckled.

Just like his mother.

Lang Zhong said that his mother would die, but he did not say when he would die, so he lived tremblingly day after day, and one day, his virtuous and dignified mother swallowed her last breath while holding the tablet of the ancestor of the Yu family, changed into the clothes she wore when she married to the land of Hu in the northwest, and closed her eyes dignifiedly.

His mother has always been very dignified, and the arrogance and self-esteem of a scholar's daughter in the northwest grinded and grinded, grinded and grinded, and after giving birth to him, she died without worry.

In the darkness, Meng Tuo was half-propped up on the edge of the bed, his eyes were quiet, and there was no half of the ups and downs.

If his mother is as stubborn and unbeatable as the daughter of the Lu family, she doesn't have to die.

At least, you don't have to die that early.

It's late at night, and it's silent.

The young man leaned his head lightly on the vermilion lacquer bed, closed his eyes, and then opened his eyes, and the sky was already bright.

"After you return to Jizhou, remember to bring a quasi-letter."

Mrs. Li rubbed her hands, bowed down and walked three steps in the long pavilion, with a smile on her face, "It is not very convenient for the identities of Third Master Yue and Young Master Meng to write letters and talk, your family is already in Jizhou, it is convenient to write letters, whether it is to write to the concubine or to A, it is all up to you, just let the concubine not cut off contact with you." ”

Ah Yu is the eldest daughter of Mrs. Li, and she came over early in the morning to say goodbye, and then she was in the back room, fifteen or sixteen years old, but she flattered Changting and Jade Niang, and even looked obedient to Changning.

I'm afraid that one day yesterday, Mrs. Li inquired about the identity of Changting from another place, and she didn't inquire clearly, and she estimated that she thought it was the daughter of a big family in Jizhou, so she was even more interested in flattering - they decided to leave the city at noon today, and it was almost natural that there was no chance to play it for a long time.

Who knew that Mrs. Li thought about this, maintained contact with the girl of the official family, and even corresponded for a long time, and slowly developed into handkerchief handkerchief, Mrs. Li thought long-term for the sake of her daughter.

Such a group of people, clearly knowing the identities of Changting and Changning, are only three people.

Yue Laosan, Yue Fan and Meng Tuo.

Even Qingshao didn't know.

Changting's heart moved, and he walked without hurrying, and smiled warmly on his face, "If you can hand it over, you must give Mrs. Li a letter of approval." If it can't be delivered at that time, ask Yue Sanye to send the letter out, so as not to worry Mrs. Li. ”

Mrs. Li was overjoyed and took her eldest daughter's hand, her face beaming.

Changting buried his head, and suddenly remembered, if they were still in Jiankang, Kyoto, Mrs. Li's description, how should they deal with it? Maybe he said a few polite words, and then let Chen Yu send him away, no, Changting tried to recall his temper ten days ago, put it on her, maybe there will be no perfunctory coping, just sweep the floor and go out, never to see again.

"Don't try to find any value from me, this girl doesn't have the time to accompany and mediate."

The young man didn't know what it was like to be sad, she wanted to know now, what was Lu Xuan thinking when she heard her say this?

Changting smiled, the world is really wonderful, now she is actually glad, glad that she still has value on her, and she can be coveted by others.

Everyone was waiting in the outer courtyard of Li's house, the big carts and small carts were all tied with green cloth, and the two carriages were cleaned from the inside out, and they looked new, and the long pavilion saw Meng Tuo leading the horses and standing silently at the head of the line.

Hu Yuniang leaned over and whispered, "Ma is more proud than others." ”

As soon as Changting's eyes passed, he burst out laughing.

Truly.

The horse led by Meng Tuo held his head high, and the horse's hooves kicked the ground, lifting a large layer of soil on the ground in the outer courtyard of the people, and the person leading the horse was immersed in his head and concentrating, but he looked very restrained.

Changting thought about it again, shook his head lightly, and bit his ear with Hu Yuniang, "No, no, no, he's very proud." If you are not arrogant. After dealing with the soldier, he could actually talk about it in front of us, but he didn't say anything. This is either very proud, or it is lacking in heart. ”

Hu Yuniang took a look again, well, if Meng Tuo lacks eyes, Yue Fan will go to jump into the river.

Shopkeeper Li bowed his waist and spoke respectfully to Yue Laosan, Yue Fan asked the girls to get into the carriage and wait, Changting thought about it and stopped Yue Fan sideways, and his words were not subtle, "Miss Qingshao may have some misunderstandings about the identities of me and A Ning, she doesn't really care if she misunderstands or not, but it's not good to spread the word around." We haven't passed through Youzhou yet, step by step like walking on thin ice, but the green girl is guessing wildly, which really makes me a bad person. Now it's a matter of making irresponsible remarks about Mrs. Li, but what about after that? We went all the way, the post house had to live, and we had to talk to people, if the Qingshao girl still couldn't keep her mouth shut, we didn't have to hide our identities as soon as possible. ”

Meng Tuo, Yue Laosan and Yue Fan will not publicize their identities to the outside world.

Manxiu has a smart personality and can say one thing and will never say two.

Mrs. Li is in the inner house, and the only one who can reveal their identities to her is Qingshao.

Yue Fan's mouth narrowed, and he habitually chewed the dog's tail grass, but he found that there was nothing in his mouth, his expression became stricter, and he nodded to Changting.

"I know, you don't care about this, I'll go and sue Brother SΓΉ Tuo."

Changting nodded at him, and turned to get into the carriage.

The enclosed space of the carriage stifled Hu Yuniang's voice, "Why don't you just go and sue Miss SΓΉ Qingshao, this is said once and there is a second time." Mrs. Li is her own person, so what if she can't control others? Hu Yuniang remembered that it was Qingshao who couldn't hold back her voice in the carriage that day to lure people over, and when she thought about it, she was full of anger, "Bai Chang has a face, and his heart is not long at all." Grandpa said that this kind of woman is called a fox spirit and has to stay away, otherwise she will drag herself down if she is not careful! ”

It was rare to hear Hu Yuniang's chatter, Changning smiled and leaned into Hu Yuniang's arms, and said in a tender voice, "We can't tell what the identity of that good-looking girl is!" Miss Qingshao is at least more familiar and close to Brother Ah Fan and the third master than us. If that girl is an identity that cannot be offended, the eldest sister rashly said it, but it would be disgusting. ”

Hu Yuniang nodded as if she understood.

As soon as the whip was raised, the carriage was wheeling out, and the wheels were about to move, and the long pavilion listened to the sound of a loud announcement.

"Third master! The road outside is blocked! Kyoto is coming! Youzhou Assassin Shi issued an order to increase the patrol of the streets and alleys, and the three layers of the outer three floors of the gate out of the city were full of people, much more than when we came in! There are many people at the gate of the city, and the entry and exit are very strict! The goods of many caravans have been detained, and all the unidentified people have been detained, I am afraid that there are hundreds! ”

There are only a thousand people in and out of the inner city every day!

Changting was startled.

The sound of the mansion door shutting was followed by my ears.

Changting immediately led Changning to get out of the car, the men all got off the horse, the outer courtyard of the Li family suddenly became very narrow, Hu Yuniang sighed, "When we get to Yuzhou, oh no, when we arrive in Jizhou, we must go to Guanyin Temple to burn incense, which is too fucking unpleasant." ”

Changting held Changning tightly, shook his head gently, and whispered, "It's not unpleasant, it's shun." ”

Before the words landed, Yue Laosan walked over with a bold face, his face calm, "I'm afraid that someone from Kyoto is going to report the funeral and ask the teacher to ask for the crime, but I estimate that the person who came can't suppress Zhou Tongling, and in addition to the unidentified people in his detention, sooner or later there will be a little girl of the same age as you and A Ning." Let's either go today, or we will go in two days, anyway, it's all a risky move, let me ask you what you mean. ”

What does she mean?

Changting glanced up at Meng Tuo.

The news of the annihilation of the Lu family's house stabbed to the Heavenly Family, disrupting Zhou Tongling's plan and distracting Zhou Tongling's attention, but this was only an expedient measure. The disputes in the world are comparable to the princes of the Warring States, and the official eunuchs of the Kyoto Qin faction cannot suppress the order of the local emperor Zhou Tong.

As long as you have a head, you should know to take advantage of the chaos and fish in troubled waters to get out of the city quickly.

Meng Tuo: Is this a lesson?

So first of all, ask her opinion?

Changting's eyes were buried, and he said loudly to Yue Laosan, "Three days into the city, this is a time that passers-by should stay, too short and too long is easy to cause suspicion." Let's go today, while the people from Kyoto are still there, wait for two more days, Zhou Tongling comes back to his senses, I'm afraid it will be a city closure search. ”RS
