Summer is over, and autumn is coming. The sky was as clear as a wash, clean without a trace of clouds, only the pure blue, as if it had been rendered in ink

Compared with the wanton flying in summer, autumn is quiet, ripe, and full of charm and deep.

Under the big plane tree, Yu Zhengran, who was dressed in a white robe, stood with his hands hanging down, his eyes far away. A gust of wind blew, and the sycamore leaves fell one after another, like a flock of golden butterflies, lingering around her and dancing......

The words of "cousin" echoed in Yu Zhengran's ears repeatedly:

"My Gillian is a hard-working person, she doesn't want to be a concubine, she told me that after she gets married, she will find a beautiful mountain, have a beautiful little Zhuangzi, and give birth to a group of lovely children."

"She finally had a child, but she was beaten out before three months, and she can no longer have children, and Gillian, who likes children the most, has never tasted the taste of being a mother in her life."

"Gillian died, she died of cold, I begged Lang Zhong and gave him the family heirloom jade cabbage, so that I could pretend to be a servant woman who boiled medicine to follow up and see her last side."

"Buried in this mound is a handkerchief that Gillian gave me when we last met, and she died the next day, as Lang Zhong told me. Nafu didn't care about the death of a concubine at all, and buried it hastily, as if it was a kitten and a puppy who died. ”

"I knew that Gillian didn't want to stay in that far away place, she wanted to go home, so I came back with her handkerchief."

……

After Yu Zhengran returned to Beijing, he sent two groups of people to sneak to the Northeast pretending to be businessmen and refugees respectively......

That Gillian is pathetic, though. She couldn't be his mother.

Dumb Zhang came over with a bowl of water: "Did this trip go well?" ”

Yu Zhengran raised his head. Drink it all: "It went well".

Suddenly something felt wrong. Dumb Zhang never asked him about it before, he just guarded him all the time, and never asked a word.

Yu Zhengran remembered that day that he casually said that he would send someone to investigate his mother, and the dumb chapter seemed to be choked by the tea he had just drunk......

Are these two anomalous performances just a coincidence? Yu Zhengran frowned, if not, is Dumb Zhang concerned about his errand today, or is it his "mother's" business?

Yu Zhengran just instinctively felt strange. He didn't suspect anything about the dumb chapter. After all these years of getting along, he can be sure that, first, the dumb chapter has no ill will towards him, and is dedicated to protecting him; Second, the dumb chapter cannot be his father's person, and even, the person who has received the dumb chapter over the years, this Zhuangzi, and the dumb chapter have done everything can be said to be "teaching" him to guard against his father.

Yu Zhengran didn't know what he was thinking, and suddenly said, "Dumb Zhang." My father allowed me to go to the southwest to assassinate Prince Yong. ”

Dumb Zhang's face changed, and he blurted out: "No." Absolutely not. ”

Yu Zhengran's eyes darkened: "For what?" I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of? ”

"......" Dumb Zhang was stunned for a moment, "What are you afraid of?" Of course, I'm afraid that your life will not be guaranteed, and I will have no one to support you in the future. Prince Yong's martial arts are strong, and the guards and secret guards around him are like clouds. Assassination of Prince Yong? Do you think it's the princes in the capital who only know how to enjoy happiness and play with women? ”

The dumb Zhang replied fluently and confidently, but Yu Zhengran did not miss the panic and worry that flashed in his eyes.

"Okay," Dumb Zhang also saw the two points of playfulness in Yu Zhengran's eyes, and seemed to realize that it was not good to blindly block it, and added, "If you must go, I will go with you, you know the Tao, my martial arts are not worse than yours, and my experience is richer than yours." ”

Yu Zhengran smiled, turned sharply, and changed the topic: "I sent Ah Si and them to the northeast. ”

Dumb Zhang was stunned for a moment by the sudden change of topic, and then said: "Well, it's okay, you have been alone outside since you were a child, so you need to know more." Even if you're ...... Father really loves you, can you guarantee that your brothers don't have bad intentions for you? You are a complete stranger to them, or a stranger with a threat of interest. ”

Yu Zhengran smiled: "That's exactly what I thought, dumb Zhang, I'm going home." Now that the sky is changing, your old wounds should pay attention to keeping warm. ”

Dumb Zhang nodded: "You go, wait, you must remember, if you really go to the southwest, you have to call me, otherwise I won't be able to spare you." Lao Tzu has followed you for so many years, but I don't want to end up with no one to collect and bury my body. ”

Yu Zhengran had already drifted away, and he didn't look back: "Don't worry, I will not only bury you, but also worship every year." "Dumb Zhang's mouth is tight and can't be pried open, but with solid eyes, his brain doesn't turn as fast as him.

Dumb Zhang stood in the position where Yu Zhengran stood before and looked up at the sky, what should he do? Sometimes he thinks he can be sure, sometimes he is a little confused. He didn't have any empirical evidence, he just felt like it, and the location of the scar on his arm.

He didn't dare to act rashly, but he was afraid that he would not only fail to make up for it and atone for his sins, but also make a big mistake again because of his self-righteousness.

There is still a little trouble, even if it is not ......, he and Yu Zhengran have really had a relationship over the years, that is a child who is cold on the surface and extremely emotional in his heart. If Yu Zhengran is really right with the prince, who should he help?

Yu Zhengran returned to the mansion, and Ma Ling'er greeted him: "Husband, are you back?" Mr. Yu came to see you and said that you want to sponsor the two talented students in the 'Zhiqian Private School' whose families have been mutated. ”

Yu Zhengran nodded: "Exactly, I have seen those two children, they are very smart and diligent." Cultivate well, and you will have a future success, madam, you won't object, right? ”

Ma Ling'er smiled: "Of course not, this is a good thing, what the concubine wants to say is, is it okay to give such a trivial matter to the concubine?" The dowry shops and granges of concubines also produce a lot every year. "Accumulate more virtue, maybe God can give her a child.

Yu Zhengran was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Madame has a heart, I am naturally willing to fulfill Madame, it is better for you to worry about more things, so as not to think crankily all day long." "Just came back yesterday, Ma Ling'er was about to open her face to the big girl Ruyue next to her, but Yu Zhengran refused. Not to mention anything else, he is now bent on tracking down his life experience, how can he have that kind of mood?

Ma Ling'er blushed, but her heart was very sweet, she naturally knew what Lu Daoyu Zhengran meant by "cranky". Last night, Yu Zhengran refused to open Ruyue's face, saying that they were still young and not in a hurry, and they could only conceive with a wide heart.

Yu Zhengran felt guilty for a while, he drank the medicine in advance every time, how could Ma Ling'er have a child?

However, he didn't prepare last night, so he didn't drink medicine, if Ma Ling'er was really pregnant last night, maybe it was given to her by God, right?

He suddenly remembered that his "cousin" said with a sad face: "Gillian has never tasted motherhood in her life." ”

Entering the study, Mr. Yu was waiting for him in the dark room, with an excited face: "Young master, Qi Haoning is going to take the bait this time." (To be continued......)
