Chapter 543: Back to the camp
It had rained overnight, and the air smelled salty and wet.
The bloody aura left behind after the fight was also carried away by this heavy rain, as if nothing had happened.
Zhou Yi and the princess presided over He Ruyi's funeral, everything was simple and did not make a big deal. The three mothers-in-law and daughter-in-law of the He family have no opinion on this.
It's just that the pain of losing her daughter made the Zhou family wail every day, and she didn't eat a grain of rice for three days, so the princess had to persuade her to rest every day.
In three days, several people from the He family came to the funeral, and the Queen Mother personally sent the old lady in the palace to appease the emotions of the Huo He family.
He Ruyi died of the epidemic, and for Empress Dowager He, she couldn't find any fault with the Huo family. Originally, He Ruyi's marriage to the He family was a chess piece she used to contain the Huo family, and she didn't want this chess piece to die early.
In this regard, Empress Dowager He can only rub her eyebrows and sigh.
The Lu family also came to offer condolences, but Mrs. Lu did not come in person, but the third wife and the third master of the third room, the fourth wife and the fourth master of the fourth room, and Lu Shuqing were also brought.
When family members meet, it is indispensable to have a good relationship.
The third lady looked at her from above, and said diligently: "The third girl is pregnant, but she looks better than before, and it makes people more and more unable to take their eyes off." She looked at the fourth wife with a smile and said, "Fourth brother and sister, do you say yes?" ”
The fourth lady is not the kind of person who likes to tie things up, but she smiled faintly and said: "The third girl has been outstanding since she was a child, and she is a mother, so she naturally becomes more and more mature......"
The third lady was a little stunned and coughed dryly. Pick up the tea bowl on the table and pretend to drink tea.
Lu Shuyi ordered someone to bring refreshments again, and when she was eating tea, she asked the fourth wife, "Why didn't my grandfather come?" ”
The fourth wife looked embarrassed, and she didn't know what to say, but the third wife grabbed the conversation and said, "Have you heard about your fourth brother?" ”
Lu Shuyi nodded: "Well, I heard my mother say that my grandfather also expelled him." ”
The third wife said coldly: "Speaking of which, your fourth brother is also messing around, your grandfather went to inquire a few days ago why Miss Liu suddenly withdrew from the marriage, only to know that it was your fourth brother who made a ghost, so that Miss Liu thought that he had a fox smell on his body......" She coughed dryly, a little embarrassed: "You talk about it." How could our Lu family ever have this disease? The delicate girl of the Liu family. How can you put up with a husband who smells like a stink? That's why I cried that I must break off the marriage contract with your fourth brother......"
Lu Shuqing ate the snack, snorted disapprovingly, and said, "Mother, if you want me to say that the fourth brother is right, they all say that Miss Liu is very rude." Still an outroomwoman. How to match the fourth brother ......"
The third lady's eyes twitched. immediately reprimanded: "Shut up, don't talk nonsense, what do you know about a girl?" Do you think that whoever is the son-in-law of the king of Huainan can be if he wants to? That is also the king of Huainan to raise our Lu family. I married my daughter to the Lu family, but your fourth brother's fool didn't appreciate it, and he had to come out with a moth, now it's good, his reputation has been lost, and people have been expelled from the clan, what's the good? ”
Speaking of this, the third wife couldn't help but think of Chai Xiu'e, and wanted to say a few words about Chai Xiu'e's badness, but remembered that Chai Xiu'e was Lu Shuyi's friend, so she didn't say it, but said: "Your grandfather was angry when he knew the truth, and the doctor prescribed medicine, and after taking it for some days, it didn't work, and now he is lying down and recuperating." ”
"What about grandmother?" Lu Shuyi took a sip of tea, and her fingers gently circled her lower abdomen.
This time it was the fourth wife who spoke, she said worriedly: "Your grandmother is not well, since this happened, she has not stayed, and her appetite has not been good recently, yesterday I went to deliver food, a bowl of rice porridge, I only ate two bites and couldn't eat it......"
"Really?" Lu Shuyi frowned and asked, "Then who is in charge of the family now?" ”
"Your uncle is in charge." The third lady's tone was a little unkind.
In her opinion, no one should let the boss be in charge, what qualifications does a man with a little white face have to be in charge?
But the family is the son of the Lu family, and the eldest son is in charge.
The third lady took the teacup and poured it suddenly, but the fourth lady said very calmly: "Fortunately, there is nothing big in the house, and now there is only the matter of the second girl's relatives." ”
Lu Shuqi will get married next month.
Previously, Lu Shuyi sent Li Ping'an and Shuangxi to check on Lu Shuqi's future husband's family, but nothing was found, but there was only one thing, Lu Shuqi's future husband's family seemed to have received An Zhijin's favor before......
She was always afraid that An Zhijin would make means.
After all, Aunt An's death is inseparable.
After thinking about it, he still said to the fourth wife: "I seem to have heard that the person who the second sister is going to marry has a good relationship with Aunt An's brother An Zhijin......
The fourth and third wives were stunned for a moment.
They all knew about Aunt An's previous grudge with the eldest wife, but later there was a fire in An's house, which killed so many people, and it was rumored that the eldest lady and the second wife He sent someone to do it.
"How did you hear that?" The fourth lady hurriedly said, "Your grandmother doesn't know about this. ”
Lu Shuyi naturally couldn't say that she personally sent someone to investigate, so she only found a reason and said: "There are many people in the palace, and there will always be some rumors about big and small things, and I only found out about it by accident one day." ”
"That's not good...... The third lady's eyes rolled, and after a while, she quickly got up and said, "No, no, I have to go and talk to your third uncle quickly." Turning his eyes, he didn't forget to say to Lu Shuqing: "You are here to accompany your third sister, don't go there." ”
Lu Shuqing nodded.
The fourth wife also got up and said, "I'll go and talk to your fourth uncle, they don't know about it yet." ”
Lu Shuyi ordered someone to send them off, but she was angry in her heart that Mrs. Lu decided where their sisters went without checking like this, which was really hateful.
Lu Shuqing was still a guest at the palace for the first time, although it was a white matter, she still seemed very excited, and whispered to Lu Shuyi in private: "Third sister, you are really blessed to marry such a good family." For a while, he sighed again, and said with envy: "I have never entered such a big yard, and I have never seen such a beautiful carving...... By the way, the dim sum was delicious too......"
Lu Shuyi smiled bitterly in her heart. In the end, Lu Shuqing didn't know that the Lu family would be turned upside down, so she said softly: "The dim sum you eat is made by my chef here, you want to love it, I'll let her make more, and I'll bring it to you when you go back." ”
"This ...... What's so embarrassing about that? Lu Shuqing stuck out her tongue, shook her head and said, "Forget it, don't bother people, my mother said, now you have a body." Don't let me trouble you. ”
Actually, this trip out. The reason why the third wife brought Lu Shuqing was to let Lu Shuqing and Lu Shuyi have a good relationship, and only when the relationship between sisters is close can they help each other. Now that Lu Shuyi is pregnant with a child, if she gives birth to a son, she will be the eldest grandson of the Huo family in the future. That's to inherit the throne. The future is limitless. Don't stammer at this time, when to stutter.
So when she set off from the Lu family, the third wife said to Lu Shuqing with a thousand instructions: "When you arrive at the palace, you have to have the vision to see that your third sister is pregnant." You have to protect her at all times, but don't trouble her, don't let her get tired of you. ”
That's why Lu Shuqing didn't dare to ask for Lu Shuyi's snacks.
Lu Shuyi knew in her heart, and said immediately: "It's not troublesome, it's the cook who does it, not me." At the same time, he sent Holly to tell the cook, and asked the cook to make a few more snacks that she had just eaten, and then bring them to Lu Shuqing when she went back.
Lu Shuqing stuck out her tongue and said with a smile: "Then thank you Third Sister, I'm still afraid of your trouble, so I don't dare to let you work." ”
Lu Shuyi took her hand and said warmly: "It's not troublesome, you can take it back and eat it slowly." ”
Thinking that something would happen to the Lu family, Lu Shuyi felt uncomfortable, especially when she saw these people who were also sisters, she couldn't bear to touch Lu Shuqing's hair for a while and said, "It's all grown up......"
Lu Shuqing had never been touched like this by Lu Shuyi, let alone heard her say such a thing, so she was a little puzzled for a while, and asked, "Third sister, what's wrong with you?" ”
Lu Shuyi just shook her head: "I'm fine......" took a look at her face, but looked out the window, dark clouds were overhead, and it seemed that another rainstorm was coming......
Seven days later, He Ruyi went to the funeral, because she married into the Huo family and never had children, and it was an epidemic, so she could not enter the ancestral grave of the Huo family. After discussing with Zhou Yi, the princess found another feng shui treasure and ordered a cave.
The He family also went back the day after the funeral.
The third and fourth wives returned to Lu's house early without waiting for the funeral, and went back to discuss Lu Shuqi's family affairs with Mrs. Lu.
Before leaving, the fourth wife Tetra took her hand to find a quiet place and whispered to her: "Third girl, you are one of the few people in our Lu family who understands, and now your grandfather is in a deep quagmire and can't pull it out, if the Lu family is in trouble one day, please ...... Please save my children, they are still ......"
The fourth wife was sad.
She is also one of the few people in the Lu family who understands, and now that the Lu family has been pulled into the water by King Huainan, although she doesn't know what the situation is, she can also know some news from Mrs. Lu's words every day.
The ambition of the wolf son of Huainan is just that, but she wants to pull down so many people, she knows that once something happens, the Lu family will definitely not be able to save it, so she came this time, just to find an opportunity to talk to Lu Shuyi, hoping that she can bless her children in the future.
After all, the Huo family is powerful, and Lu Shuyi is the Uighur lord, so only they can protect her children.
The rabbit died and the fox was sad, Lu Shuyi was also very sad in her heart, but she couldn't bring it out on her face, so she could only say: "Why did the fourth aunt say this?" ”
The fourth wife bit her lip, but she didn't dare to say that she found out that King Huainan was plotting against her, for fear of causing disaster to Lu Shuyi, so she found a reason and said: "Seeing that your grandparents are old, it is not certain who will be in charge in the future." And among the sisters, you are the only one who marries well. He paused and said, "I...... My children are still young, so I want to entrust you to one day...... In case I don't have a good job, please take care of my child. ”
Between the words, her eyes were also red, and her heart was very sour.
Lu Shuyi knew in her heart that the fourth wife must know what to say these words to her, and the fourth wife would not open her mouth easily, but now that she spoke, she couldn't bear to refuse, so she said: "Okay, if I can take care of them, I will definitely take care of them." ”
The fourth wife was grateful, and she was bent on her knees.
How dare Lu Shuyi accept this, she immediately helped her and said: "Sisters should take care of each other, and the fourth aunt doesn't have to be so polite to me, let alone salute." ”
The fourth lady squeezed her hand tightly and said, "Good boy, you don't know my heart, I should do this ceremony......
Lu Shuyi's heart was even more sour, so she could only hold her hand tightly.
…………
In the camp, Huo Tianyou listened to Zhou Yi's words, and arrived half a day earlier than the person who sent the letter, and then explained the matter to Huo Wangye.
When Huo Wangye heard that Huo Tiankang had a hand cut off by him, he was shocked and painful, and immediately threw a porcelain bowl on the table to Huo Tianyou's body, and the porcelain bowl smashed on Huo Tianyou's body, but he didn't move, just said in a deep voice: "The matter has happened, if my father has to put me to death because of one of my eldest brother's hands, and I want to be punished by military law, then the son has nothing to say." It's just that my son has already received news that the king of Huainan has begun to move and will march to Kyoto in seven days, at this time, do you really plan to punish me? ”
The expression on Huo Wangye's face sank, and his two thick eyebrows were raised and raised, and after a long time, he sighed and said, "That's it, it's enough, it's useless after all......"
He rubbed his eyebrows and said, "When I asked Zhou Yi to go, I knew that something had to happen......
Huo Wangye's face instantly aged ten years old, sighed lightly, and finally said, "You get up......
Huo Tianyou breathed a sigh of relief and slowly got up.
I only heard Lord Huo say: "I only ask you for one thing, no matter what happens in the future, I only ask you to spare your brother's life, after all...... He is my son with Qingqing......"
"What about my mother?" Huo Tianyou gritted his teeth, feeling that his mother had made a mistake in this life.
But Huo Wang Ye said: "Your mother...... I used to think that I didn't have a sincere heart for her, but I gradually realized that it wasn't, I was also sincere to her, but ...... Qingqing is the first woman I have met, and I told her that she is the love of my life......"
Huo Wang Ye didn't speak anymore, just stared at the big tent, and said for a long time: "Perhaps, we can go back in half a month......"
Huo Tianyou also looked outside the tent, he knew that the future would be stormy.
After the autumn rain, the weather gradually cooled, and the palace was calm for a while.
After dealing with He Ruyi's funeral, Zhou Yi did not leave immediately, but stayed to take care of Huo Tiankang's injuries.
Huo Tiankang stood under the window with a pale face, his legs only felt soft and collapsed, and after standing for a while, he sat on the couch with some physical exhaustion.
He looked at his two legs hatefully, and said angrily: "Waste, it's really waste......" and then beat it hard, only to find that there was no strength in his hands.
In the past, when he pretended to be sick, he deliberately wanted to pretend that his legs were weak, but now it has become true, ironic, really ironic. (To be continued......)
