Chapter 31: Return to the Old Mansion
When he saw Lu Yunpeng carrying all the two big bags of luggage he had brought with him this time and was about to embark on the road to Fengxian with him, Zhao Xiu finally confirmed the fact that he really wanted to stay at her house.
But why? Isn't he the guard of King Quang Binh? There is also a grade, but listening to the tone of Princess Guangping, it seems that he wants to go to the Zhao family to be a housekeeper? Nursing home? Isn't that overkill?
Zhao Xiu couldn't figure it out, so he quietly asked Yanxia: "Why did Escort Lu go to our house to be a housekeeper?" β
Yanxia smiled and asked, "Isn't it good?" Just now, you were still talking and laughing with him in the front yard. didn't answer her question, but talked about it left and right: "Didn't Miss Zhao say that she wanted to leave a letter for our prince?" Shall I carry you over there and write on the bookcase? β
Zhao Xiu had no choice but to put aside the doubts in his heart and concentrate on writing a farewell letter to Gao Zhen.
She couldn't read the brush handwriting, and she couldn't write all the traditional characters, and the first letter she wrote after crossing was a bit miserable. Yanxia is illiterate, she took the letter to Princess Guangping, Princess Guangping laughed while reading it, and finally said: "It's hard for you, at this age, you can actually write so many words, the writing is not neat, and the strokes are a little wrong and missing, which is also human nature, I am afraid that Zhen'er will not understand." Anyway, Yanxia took a pen and paper, what does Sister Xiu want to write, you read, I'll write it for you, right? β
So Zhao Xiu depressedly dictated a letter, basically saying that he was leaving, because he was in a hurry, he couldn't wait for him to come back to say goodbye, and he felt very sorry, and the two didn't know when they would see each other again. She will memorize the textbooks he taught, and when she grows up, she will also use the boxing techniques he taught to exercise her body. Finally, I wish him good health, all the best, and a safe family.
A very ordinary letter, decent, not lost friendship and a little polite, with a little childish straightforward tone there is nothing to find fault with, lined with a delicate and elegant hairpin flower Xiaokai can be said to be very beautiful, Zhao Xiu is confident that this letter will not be rude no matter who it is shown to, but Princess Guangping couldn't help laughing after writing it, Zhao Xiu was stunned for a moment, wondering if she had made a mistake.
After laughing, Princess Guangping touched her head and said, "Your child is really painful, your little mouth is really sweet, I am very happy in my heart, why don't you go back, stay and be my daughter?" β
Zhao Xiu didn't know how to answer, was she sincere or joking?
Mother Cao on the side also laughed: "The princess's idea is really wonderful!" The prince also likes Miss Xiu. I'm afraid that Mrs. Zhao will be reluctant, and when she hears that the princess is going to kidnap his granddaughter, she will come to the princess to fight hard! β
Princess Guangping folded the letter with a smile, solemnly sealed it, and said to Zhao Xiu jokingly: "Good boy, don't worry, when Zhen'er comes back, I will definitely hand over the letter to him!" He pointed at Lu Yunpeng again: "In the future, when you learn to write, when you want to write to Zhen'er, just give him the letter, and he will find someone to bring the letter to your brother Zhen, can you remember?" β
It turns out that Lu Yunpeng still has to stay in Zhao's house until she learns to write? That's not a year or two, is it?
Zhao Xiu was puzzled.
The capital of Shanghai is set in Jiading, which is only more than 100 miles away from Fengxian, and it takes half a day to arrive by horse-drawn carriage. The official roads along the way have just been repaired for only twenty or thirty years, and they are renovated almost every year, Zhao Xiu did not suffer any bumps at all, and arrived home safely.
At this time, it was already dark, and Zhao Xiu was already so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, and he only saw the two white lanterns hanging at the gate in a daze, and he was carried into the courtyard of the deep house.
When she woke up the next morning, Akiba was already sitting on the edge of her bed doing needlework, and when she woke up, she smiled and got up to help her sit up.
Zhao Xiu turned his head and looked around in a daze: "Is it dawn?" β
"It's early in the morning!" Autumn leaves said with a smile, "The eldest sister slept so well this night, and the sun has risen high." Brother Wei has memorized a round of books and is practicing calligraphy, the old lady was going to ask her sister to get up, but she came in and looked at it, but she was reluctant, saying that the eldest sister had a hard time yesterday, so let you sleep well. β
Zhao Xiu's face was red, and she honestly dressed with the help of Autumn Leaves, and another little girl she didn't know came in with a basin of noodles, and Autumn Leaves waited for her to wash her face.
She jumped out of bed and staggered out of the room, and saw that her little brother Zhao Wei was in the hall outside, sitting on a high chair and writing on the table, just writing two strokes and looking up in the direction of the room, seeing her come out, she immediately threw away the pen, jumped off the chair and greeted her: "Is my sister awake?" Hungry, right? I'll keep you something delicious! β
The so-called delicious ones are actually goat's milk and steamed buns. The Zhao family had the habit of drinking milk and goat's milk in the capital, which was learned by the old lady of the Qin family from Emperor Taizu's Empress Yuan, saying that it was good for the body, boys could grow taller after drinking, and girls would turn white when they drank it. Zhao Xiu was still a little doll just over one year old when she wore it, it was the season to quit milk, and she lived in a side courtyard with her grandmother's parents, so naturally she didn't have the conditions to pay attention to what milk to drink, and she usually ate millet paste, which was the first time she drank this thing. She was worried that it would smell fishy, but after tasting it, it tasted better than she expected, so she drank it boldly.
The bun is stuffed with vegetarian vegetables, and now the Zhao family is in mourning, and it is common sense to eat this, but there is a strange taste, Zhao Xiu is a little unaccustomed to eating it, Zhao Wei likes it very much, and persuades her to eat it vigorously: "Sister eat more, I specially left it for you." It was Qiu Ye who came out to save Zhao Xiu: "Brother Wei, my sister is still young, I'm afraid I won't digest it if I eat this, you can keep it for yourself." Zhao Wei obediently said "oh", and glanced at his sister regretfully: "Sister, grow up quickly, you are too young now, and you can't eat a lot of delicious food." β
The corners of Zhao Xiu's mouth twitched: "Thank you, brother, I drink milk very well, it's really ......"
I didn't see it clearly last night, Zhao Xiu only now found out that the house she is in now is not the same as the house she lives in the capital, the ceiling of the hall is very high, and there is a table in it, enshrined the tablets of her grandfather and parents, and flowers, incense candles, offerings and other things, and down is a boxy table of eight immortals, where the two brothers and sisters have breakfast and do homework. The hall was empty, with carved panels on both sides, and she slept in the one to the west. The one on the east side had a curtain embroidered with a pine crane pattern, and Zhao Xiu suspected that it was the bedroom of his grandmother Zhang.
The hall seems to have no doors, or the panels have been removed, and it faces the patio. This patio is different from the courtyard in Beijing, not only the place is smaller, but there are no flowers and plants, but there are a few pots of chrysanthemums in the corner, and now the flowers are blooming just right, yellow, yellow and white are very spiritual. On both sides of the patio are wings, with white lanterns hanging under the eaves, and there is a second floor above, and on the top of the courtyard gate in front, there is also a small building, but the windows are smaller, and it is not clear what they are used for. The eaves above the patio are connected on all sides, which is very different from the courtyard houses in Beijing. The doors of the courtyard were closed.
A gust of wind blew, and Zhao Xiu couldn't help but shiver.
Qiu Ye found it sharply, and hurriedly took a small cloak for her to put on, but then Zhao Wei began to cough again, and she hurriedly said, "Brother Wei and eldest sister should go back to the house, right?" It's cold in the hall. β
Zhao Wei said: "I still have sixty words to write, and I will enter the house after I finish writing." β
Autumn leaves had to persuade him: "Brother is weak, if the wind blows, and he gets sick again, he doesn't have to worry the old lady, and it's the same when he goes back to the house to write the original." β
Zhao Xiu also helped on the side: "Yes, brother, go into the house and write?" We write together, and I want to learn to write. "Lest you have to ask for help when you write a letter, and if you write it well, you will be laughed at.
Zhao Wei thought about it, then agreed, and helped Qiu Ye move the pen, ink, paper and inkstone into Zhao Xiu's small room. In her room, there is not only a shelf bed for sleeping, but also an arhat bed by the window, with a low table on top and a thick cotton cushion, which is used for daily living. The brother and sister sat on either side of the low table, and Akiba brought a small hand stove for each of them, and served hot tea by the way.
Zhao Wei took a sip of tea, only to feel that his body was warmer, and he was blown by the wind outside, and his whole body was almost frozen. When he was in the capital before, he was never so weak, obviously Fengxian was warmer than the capital in autumn, why was he so useless?
Zhao Xiu explained him: "My brother just had an illness, and he hasn't gotten better yet, so his body is a little weaker, and after a while, you'll be better, I'll teach you boxing, okay?" I stayed with King Guangping for a few days, and the prince taught me two sets of boxing techniques. I heard that Shizi was not in good health when he was a child, and he got better after practicing boxing. He can do it, and my brother will definitely not lose to him! β
Zhao Wei was a little happier when he heard it: "Okay, I'll learn boxing too!" However, he didn't have much confidence in his sister, and he took a fancy to another master: "Uncle Lu's skills are amazing, he will live in our house for a long time, I asked him to teach me!" β
For this point, Zhao Xiu wanted to ask for a long time: "Why does Escort Lu live in our house?" β
Zhao Wei tilted his head, he really didn't know the answer: "Why can't he live in our house?" β
But Qiu Ye vaguely knew something: "King Guangping said that he was afraid that the other side of Xiao Changfang would harm Brother Wei in order to keep the title, so he sent him to protect the old lady and Brother Wei." Originally, he was asked to be a housekeeper, but the old lady felt that she had wronged him too much, so she asked him to stay and be a Xixi. Lu Huwei also said that he was very poor in learning, so people knew that he made a western seat for Brother Wei, so he might not be able to joke about it. Brother Wei has the intention to learn martial arts from him, which is exactly in line with his identity as a Xixi, which is really suitable. β
Zhao Xiu suddenly realized, no wonder they came back in such a hurry, it turned out that they were worried that their grandmother and little brother were in danger. But at this point, isn't it too naΓ―ve for Xiao Changfang to expect to keep his title?
Although even Zhao Xiu felt that this idea was too naΓ―ve, for the parties concerned, there were some extravagant hopes that could never be given up.
Zhao Jiong was diagnosed and treated by several famous doctors invited by Gao Cheng from Songjiang Mansion and Suzhou Mansion, and confirmed that he was paralyzed, and the possibility of recovery was very low, and the whole person became more and more irritable, but in addition to being irritable, he was more afraid.
No matter how wronged he thinks he is, now that he is accused of killing his mother and brother, he will never be safe, if he is healthy as before, then there is hope for a comeback, but he is paralyzed, what future does he have in the future? has lost both virtue and ability, and most of his titles will not be able to keep. But he was unwilling, and urged Gao Cheng to send a letter to his family in Beijing every day, asking them to think of something, hide it for him in front of the emperor, and say a lot of good things for him by the way, so that the emperor must not believe what the Zhang family said.
A few days later, a letter came from the Jiannan Hou Mansion in the capital, and Zhao Jiong was busy urging Gao Cheng to read the letter, and before he could think of a sentence, he almost vomited blood.
The letter said that after King Guangping rescued the ancestors and grandchildren of the Zhang family, he immediately reported the matter to the emperor, and the emperor had long known about the good deeds he had done.
