Chapter 174: Standing Under the Tree and Looking Forward to the Peach Blossoms
Last night, the sisters and brothers picked up a few important words, Yutan was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyelids, and slept until dawn, and when he woke up, he heard the chanting of the monk's chanting, and thought that he was in a dream, and he was in front of him was a desolate white coarse cloth curtain, and he was also wearing a white coarse cloth filial piety clothes.
Mo Xiang heard the sound and hurriedly ran over, "The young lady is awake?" I invited a monk to do things in front of me, the eldest prince was busy in the morning, the fourth lady and Sister Caidie were also busy, and the pheasant lean porridge was boiled in the small kitchen, and Sister Hua Rui asked me to serve the young lady. ”
Yutan was still a little stunned when he woke up, "Where did you invite a monk?" ”
Seeing that the Li family was convicted, the monks refused to be contaminated with red dust, and the monks of Buyun Zen Temple were scared away.
Mo Xiang's age is not clear, "Those monks came early in the morning, accompanied by our third master, I heard that there is a high monk, the eldest prince talked to the third master in front, Qingya went to the small kitchen to help the young lady make porridge, and Hua Rui went to help Sister Caidie." ”
Mo Xiang said like a bamboo tube pouring beans, and when she met her sister Cuimo last time, Mo Xiang's whole person became alive, and she served the young lady more dedicatedly.
Yutan hurriedly got up and freshened up, top-heavy, the sky was spinning for a while, his face was pale, the sweat came out, his heart was pounding, the fetus in his womb suddenly moved, it felt very wonderful, Yutan didn't have time to think about it, he felt panicked, he hurriedly lay on the bed, Moxiang was scared and cried and hurriedly ran out to call someone.
Yuqin was in the room next to him, and hurriedly came over when he heard the cry, seeing that the second sister was full of cold sweat and was scared to cry, Yutan looked at his sister, and the cry in his ears was long and distant, as if it came from the clouds. There was another squirming in the lower abdomen, and I saw the maids coming around, shouting nonsense, and the consciousness slowly returned, Yutan wanted to get up, Yuqin cried and refused to let the second sister get up, and took the second sister's hand and asked her to lie down.
After a while, Fang Ziyi, Brother Shen, and Fang Ziying also hurried over. Fang Ziyi was so anxious that he sweated. ran out of breath, and when she saw that Yutan was fine, she hurriedly gave her a pulse. Brother Shen smiled, "My second sister is not sick, she is hungry." ”
While ordering to quickly serve the porridge, Yutan also felt hungry. I ate a bowl of side dishes, and my face slowly recovered. I didn't panic in my heart, Fang Ziyi was a little relieved, and Brother Shen forced the fifth sister to eat some too, and she was busy early yesterday morning. Everyone had no intention of eating, and then something big happened in the house, and the sisters became more and more in the mood to eat.
Yuqin was worried about where to eat. I was afraid that the second sister would be in a hurry, so I put it down after eating a few bites. Brother Shen glared, took the spoon and was about to feed her, so frightened that Yuqin hurriedly took the bowl, tears fell into the bowl in a panic, and quickly reached out to wipe it, the more tears were wiped, and a pair of eyes were red and swollen and couldn't open them.
Brother Shen didn't know how to persuade her, the fifth sister was still young at the moment, and a little girl's family encountered such a big thing, which was enough for her to suffer.
Yutan saw that her sister was crying, took Yuqin's hand, turned her eyes red for a long time, and said with a forced smile, "It's okay if my mother is gone, my mother doesn't have to worry about the bad things in the house anymore." ”
Yuqin looked at the second sister, her eyes were foggy, she didn't expect the second sister to say this.
Yutan asked where the monk was invited again, Brother Shen smiled, "This is the second brother's affection, the second brother and the Baiyun Temple's master of the void hatred are friendly, the second brother wrote a letter, the third brother went over to invite last night, early this morning the monk of the void anger brought those monks over, there are four sisters everywhere in the house to take care of, the second sister is relieved." ”
Yutan's heart was spicy, he lowered his head slightly, something happened to the Li family, others avoided it, the two little uncles can do this, thank you for that kind of words, you don't have to say that, and I remembered what Brother Shen said about letting Yuqin leave home to avoid trouble, I was too sleepy last night, and I didn't discuss it with Yuqin, Yutan hesitated and asked Fang Ziyi, "What did Yuqin's son say about it?" ”
"Ziqi said that it was a good idea, let's get through the current difficulties first, the fifth miss is still young, and it will not be too late in a few years."
Yuqin said with tears in her eyes, "I went as a female Taoist, but I left home, and Brother Jin had to take care of my brother." ”
Brother Shen said with a smile, "I will give you the Biwu study first, change it to a Taoist temple, you live at home, and those maids of yours will also follow you, fifth sister, I will tell you, you have many benefits of being a female Taoist, and after a few years of this limelight, you will still marry a vulgar person, and your dowry will not be missing in the house." ”
Yuqin didn't say anything after spitting him, and asked hesitantly, "What about the fourth sister?" And what about Brother Jin'er? ”
Brother Shen hurriedly smiled, "The fourth sister is easy to do, there is really a day when the second sister spends money to redeem it, Brother Jin has me on her head, and the fifth sister will take care of herself." ”
Brother Shen secretly scolded himself in his heart, for a little selfishness, he wanted to deceive the fifth sister to be a female Taoist, Zhao Hongyi had a mind in his heart, and he dared to come over if the Li family caused trouble, relying on the forces behind the Zhao family, and the domineering temper that he wanted since he was a child, in case Mrs. Zhao was annoyed and begged the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother would have a mess of mandarin ducks, he would have no place to cry.
Yutan thought for a moment, "That's all it can be." ”
In case he is convicted and becomes an official slave, it is better to be a female Taoist priest and escape the catastrophe, Yutan figured it out.
Anguo Houfu is lively again, and the sound of chanting comes out in the house again, and there are already well-informed people who heard that the eldest son of the Li family came back from the palace yesterday evening, and today he made a big fanfare, and set up a porridge shed at the gate, and put a big iron pot with eight mouths, which is the request of the monk who is slightly angry.
Last year, the year was not good, now is the time when the green and yellow are not connected, the hungry people from nearby states and counties flock to the capital, the city defense department guards the city gate to prevent the hungry people from coming in, and the poor people in the capital are not having a good time, the little disaster relief money allocated by the imperial court can not save too many people, and he owes the second son of the Fang family a favor, and agrees to go to the Li family to do things, but the monk is slightly disgusted and asks the Li family to give porridge.
Fang Ziying agreed for Brother Shen at that time, Brother Shen asked the servants to buy rice, and after a while, the big iron pot was set up, Brother Shen thought that there were still many hungry people outside the city, and discussed with the monk of Xu, and set up a porridge shed outside the city, which was taken care of by the monks in the temple.
The front of the Hou Mansion was lively, surrounded by poor people waiting for soup kitchen, and someone came to the door again in the excitement.
Sun Biao pondered in his heart that the emperor had a good eye for Brother Shen. Li Houye's conviction may not necessarily affect Brother Shen, he came to the door early, and Brother Shen asked him to try to visit Li Houye, Sun Biao shook his head again and again, "Little brother, if your brother doesn't say a word about the next matter, Li Houye is a case that has been decided." You beg the old brother. It's better to ask Lord Lu. ”
Brother Shen frowned, "Lord Lu has offended me, where is he willing to see me." ”
Fang Ziyi and Brother Shen tried to see Master Lu together. Lord Lu was busy with business, and he didn't see outsiders at all, and the two begged their grandfather to tell their grandmother, Liu Tieguang was slippery. I heard that Brother Shen had avoided him a long time ago, and he used a lot of silver. Brother Shen didn't even touch the door of Dark Cloud Guard's cell.
Lu Yu was proud in his heart, the dark cloud guard was an iron wall, and the people who were locked in it could see it when they said they could see it.
Lord Lu's heart was quite uneasy, thinking of what Brother Shen said. Thinking of the Fang family's case again, I went through the file last night and checked the previous mystery cases, and I had no clue about it. Seemingly unrelated cases have mysterious shadows behind them. A pair of invisible hands are manipulating, the black hand behind the scenes is huge, and he doesn't know how to hide in that corner and peep, Lord Lu thinks that Fang Ziqi's injury should also be healed, he and the assassin have done it, Lu Yu simply went to Fang's house to ask to see Fang Ziqi.
Fang Ziqi was very surprised when he heard that Lu Yu came alone, and hurriedly ordered someone to invite him to the study, Fang Ziqi changed his clothes, and the two maids helped him out, Fang Ziqi's face was pale, and he saw Lord Lu and saluted, "The old illness on the body has not been cured, and Ziqi is sluggish." ”
Lu Yu was also impatient to socialize, and only asked the assassins he met that day, Fang Ziqi pondered and said, Lu Yu talked to him once, asked a few, and took out the portrait of the deceased for Fang Ziqi to identify, Fang Ziqi shook his head, these assassins did not have anything he knew.
He also said that Feng Yansu had stayed at home these days, and Lord Lu didn't speak, so the Fang family could only look at her carefully.
Lu Yu pondered and said goodbye and went back, out of the Yingguo Mansion turned a corner is the lively street market, Lu Yu walked and walked, and heard the noise in the shop in front of him, and a mother-in-law shouted, "Rob the people's daughter, help." ”
Lu Yu followed the prestige past, and saw a brocade-clothed boy standing with his hands in his hands, and a few evil slaves next to him dragged a girl with a heavy filial piety, and scolded and scolded in his mouth, Lord Lu was in a bad mood and wanted to beat people, so he walked over without saying a word, and knocked down a few evil slaves with three punches and two feet, and the brocade-clothed boy was furious, "You are so bold, you dare to take care of the master's affairs, give me a beating!" ”
I heard the little girl shout in surprise, "Lord Lu! ”
Lu Yu's eyes lit up, this little girl was Cui Mo who helped Brother Shen guard the shop.
The boy in brocade also recognized Lord Lu, and he was so frightened that he turned around and wanted to run, Lu Yu squinted his eyes, "Who else should I be, it turned out to be Lord Wang's son, great, great, you go home and wait." ”
After speaking, he didn't look at him again, only looked at Cui Mo, "Why are you in the shop here?" ”
Cui Mo bowed, "The slave maid was originally the maid of the second lady, and this side is closer to my young lady, so the eldest prince let the slave and maid guard the shop here." ”
Lu Yu snorted, no wonder he hadn't seen him a few times in the past, he raised his legs and went in, and he didn't treat himself as an outsider.
Lu Yu instructed, "Go make a few side dishes, and then bring three bowls of white rice." ”
Cui Mo was confused when she heard this, thinking that the Hou Mansion fell into the hands of Lord Lu, how dare she accidentally agree, Cui Mo answered and was about to go down, Lu Yu asked her again, "Who in your family is gone?" ”
Cui Mo saw Lu Yu pointing to her filial piety clothes, "Our wife is gone, and the slave maid wears filial piety to the wife." ”
Lu Yu snorted, "Madam is not your grandmother, what are you doing with filial piety." ”
Cui Mo didn't dare to say anything, and responded vaguely, knowing that Lord Lu's temper didn't like others to talk more, so he hurriedly curtsied and went to the kitchen, this shop was close to the small kitchen, and there was a sound of pots and pans inside, and Cui Mo's low voice commanded the mother-in-law to pat the ginger and chop the garlic.
Lord Lu was thinking about the case in his mind, sitting here and distracted, after a while, the fragrance of the food wafted out, Lu Yu's saliva spread rapidly, and after waiting for a while, Cui Mo served the food on the tray, and Lord Lu had already picked up the rice bowl and devoured it.
The rice was eaten, the tea was drunk, and it was dark, and it was time for Lord Lu to go, reluctantly leaving with the fragrance of the food. (To be continued) R655
