XIX. Original
It's all here, Li Zhuang hesitated, but still didn't turn around. Although he was a little sad and angry in his heart, Li Zhuang still couldn't let go of it, Daddy Du lived in the countryside, and Du was pregnant again, now that he is gone, the shop is closed, and he doesn't know how the Du family should mess up.
But what's his business? Everything he seems to have is someone else's. No, at least the child Du is now carrying is his. But according to Du's hatred for him, he left for so many days, is the child still safe and sound in Du's womb?
Whose fault is it?
You shouldn't meet, you shouldn't fall in love.
It's not that he will have others, but probably only he will be stupid enough to cuckold people without knowing it.
It's a big mess to think about, but sadly Li Zhuang doesn't know who to blame. The life of a beggar in the past few days has allowed him to see the various states of life, greed, hatred, obsession, and resentment, and it has also given him more time to reflect on his past with Du's family. There is no wrong beginning, there is a wrong process, and there is a wrong outcome to be faced. No, it shouldn't be said that the wrong ending, but what they wanted, his chic back alone.
How great!
Even Li Zhuang couldn't help but praise himself, I'm really a saint!
When he came back to his senses, he had been standing in front of the gate of the Du family for a while, the vermilion gate was closed, and the two lanterns with orange light were scattered, and the scene that had to be repeated every time he returned late made him suddenly feel that things were wrong, like a long, long time.
In the past, every time I stepped in, my heart was full of joy and happiness, but now I just stood outside the door and watched. I can't even feel tired of smiling at the corners of my mouth.
"If you want to die, get out of the way." A malicious voice came. There was also the sound of a horsewhip breaking through the air.
Li Zhuang flashed to the side, intending to dodge the horsewhip. only to find that he was being teased by the coachman.
The groom laughed twice when he stopped in the car, and the carriage stopped and scolded: "Next time, if you don't have long eyes, don't blame the whip in Grandpa's hand for not showing mercy." ”
"Cheng Gui, you got carried away again." A nice woman's voice came out of the carriage, obviously a very soft voice, but when she saw Cheng Gui's body trembling, she bowed her head respectfully, "Jinping girl." The Du family arrived. ”
With a sound of um, a young woman walked out, stepped down on the footstool, and then faced the carriage, and said respectfully, "Childe, it's here." ”
The faint moonlight and very hazy light made Li Zhuang unable to see clearly what kind of demeanor the man who came out of the carriage had, but the elegant temperament brought by his gestures still made Li Zhuang sway. When the man passed by him. Li Zhuang suddenly stood in place in shock, the son is like jade, probably nothing more than that.
The maidservant did not despise Li Zhuang because of his status as a beggar, and nodded apologetically to Li Zhuang. I slowly followed.
Knock on the door and enter, until the vermilion gate completely covers the two figures, a man and a woman. Li Zhuang came back to his senses. Which relative of the Du family is it, and why has he not seen it all these years.
Horses' hooves knock on the bluestone pavement. The coachman named Cheng Gui was turning the dock, intending to park the carriage on the side of the road and take a good nap. He expected that the son would have to be fine for a while as soon as he entered.
Li Zhuang didn't care about his ragged clothes and disliked, so he followed, with a smile on his face, "Where did the little brother come from, Xiao Huazi has been begging in the town for so long, and it is the first time I have seen such a handsome person as the son of your family, I am really curious." ”
Cheng Gui pointed at Li Zhuang with a horsewhip and asked him to take a few steps back, before he said with satisfaction: "Okay, just stand there, don't infect your bad luck to the master." Listening to your voice, I don't look like an illiterate white ding, why did you become a beggar? But obviously Cheng Gui just said it casually, not really curious about why Li Zhuang fell so far, "But I don't think you have a future, even if you are a beggar, no one is as blind as you." Our son-in-law is the only one in town, the only one, you know? I don't even know our son-in-law, I think your tricks are also in vain. ”
Raise people, that is Shen Yiqing, the Shen Juren who can be an official but has to be admitted to the Jinshi before giving up. Although Li Zhuang hadn't seen him, he had heard of it, and he never thought that he still had an old relationship with the Du family. Li Zhuang asked again: "It's a small clumsy eye, and it's really a blessing to see the style." Do you still have a friendship with the eldest lady of the Du family? ”
Cheng Gui immediately stood up sternly, "Hun talking nonsense!" How could our son-in-law have anything to do with the eldest lady of the Du family? It's just that I have an old relationship with the Du family's aunt, so I came to visit my old friend before I set off. Dare to ruin my son-in-law's reputation for no reason, you are really brave to be called Hanako. Believe it or not, I'll let the county lord punish you for your crimes?! ”
It turns out that this is an adulterer. Li Zhuang hooked up a sneer, hugged his arms, raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? How come I don't know that I still have an old relationship with Shen Juren? You open your mouth and shut up to ask the county lord to treat me, so do you know that the county lord is my relative? ”
Chen Guiqian leaned forward, threw a horsewhip over, and shouted, "Get out!" Where did the madman come from, who is full of nonsense, and has a relationship with the county lord, if you don't get out, believe it or not, I will immediately arrest you and send you to the official for investigation. ”
There was nothing to say to a coachman, Li Zhuang snorted coldly, turned his head to look at the closed door of the Du family, turned around and left.
Cheng Gui wiped his sweat and did it again, he shouldn't have said anything wrong just now to give his son any trouble, right? Remembering the beggar's words in his mind, his hands suddenly stiffened, what did he hear just now? It seems that the beggar means that he is the uncle of the Du family. Is it possible, Du Jiade's aunt has become a beggar? Cheng Gui let out a long breath, good guy, he almost scared himself to death. I don't know where a madman came from, talking nonsense, almost something big happened. But he also has to restrain his temperament, don't really cause trouble for his son one day.
Du Shi was connected from Cuibei, and was about to rest, when he heard the report of his subordinates. Suddenly frowned, why did he come? Or at night, when there is no male owner in the family, don't you know how to avoid suspicion?
"Just say I'm resting and not seeing any guests."
As a personal girl, she naturally understands how to add or subtract a sentence so as not to lose the original intention of the master and not offend the guests. Although Cuibei was also very curious about why Shen Juren suddenly visited in the middle of the night, none of the men in charge of the house were there, so it always felt a bit rude to come rashly.
"Yes." Cuibei turned around and prepared to pass the word.
"Wait." Du Shi pinched his brows, since he had come to the door in person, this matter did not have to be dealt with in a sentence or two. These days, because of Li Zhuang's affairs, Du Shi has no other mind to care.
"What day is it?"
Cuibei was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and replied quickly: "The twentieth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar." ”
"That's right." No wonder Shen Yiqing was in such a hurry, he didn't hesitate to come to the door in person. Three years ago, at this time, he went to Beijing to prepare for the entrance examination, which will be in the spring of next year. With his family's background, he naturally can't afford the cost of dredging up and down, so he still has to rely on her. Du Shi was a little puzzled, and he didn't do it as a good official, but he drilled into the camp. It's good to be motivated, but you only want to take shortcuts, and it's not a long-term road to take a gap. Du Shi didn't want to think about it, and raised his hand, "Go ahead." Let them all be careful, the young master is about to arrive home. ”
It turned out that I was worried about the young master. Cuibei was overjoyed, she really had foresight, and hurriedly replied: "The slave can save it." A few days ago, I ordered someone to get ready. ”
Du Shi nodded.
Cuibei Shili retreated again.
After getting the news, Shen Yiqing was not surprised, anyway, the purpose of his visit had been achieved.
"Childe, the slave and Sister Tracy haven't seen each other for months, and I miss them very much. Can you allow the slave to take a leave of absence and let the slave talk to Sister Tracey tonight. "Jinping for instructions.
Shen Yiqing smiled and nodded in agreement.
Jinping jumped for joy, and then thanked Shen Yiqing with a red face.
Useless Tracey, she can't do this little thing, and she still has to work hard for her son. Jinping is determined to pay attention to talk to Tracy "well" tonight. (To be continued......)
