Chapter 63: Mistaking Pear Blossoms for Spring Rain
"That's it, you go down!" The ingot torch slowly closed the book, thinking that at this moment he had already flipped through the "Book of Wu" in his hand. For the current situation, although the situation is a little more than he expected, but fortunately, there is not too much deviation.
"Nuo" Yuan Song saw that the Yuan Bao Torch was already sleepy at the moment, so he immediately retreated from the Yuan Bao Torch room.
"Whew!" After coming out of the Yuan Bao Torch room, Yuan Song let out a long sigh. Instantly felt a lot more relaxed, and when he thought of the strange behavior of the Yuan Bao Torch in recent days, Yuan Song couldn't help but worry.
In Erzhu's mansion, Erzhuyan and Pu Juan talked about it late at night, probably when it was just dawn, Pu Juan fell asleep, and after Erzhuyan covered Pu Juan's bedding, she secretly swore in her heart: "Ajuan, don't worry, no matter what, I will protect you."
The next day, the mother-in-law and maids in the courtyard saw that Er Zhuyan and the others were sleeping soundly, so they did not disturb them. This sleep was really relieved, and before I knew it, I slept until noon. When Er Zhuyan woke up, Pu Juan had already prepared things for her to wash.
"It's rare to get a good night's sleep, I haven't slept like this for a long time," said Er Zhuyan stretched her waist lazily with her arms outstretched.
Seeing this, Pu Juan looked distressed. The candlelight was dim last night, and she didn't look carefully, but now she took a closer look, on this trip, Er Zhuyan lost a lot of weight and tanned a little. "When you get up, come and wipe your face!" Pu Juan smiled and stretched out her hand to Er Zhuyan.
"Good!" She obediently agreed, and before she could wait for the whole person to roll down to the bed again.
Seeing this, the maids covered their mouths and laughed
Seeing this, Pu Juan shook her head full of affection, and said with emotion: "After so many years, it still hasn't changed. Then she sat gently on the edge of the bed, and the maid brought the basin to the bed, and when the sweat towel was wrung out, Pu Juan took it from the maid's hand. She slowly picked up Er Zhuyan's hand and wiped it for her, and on Er Zhuyan's hand, Pu Juan could see several obvious scars and scratches, and the scars were still brand new. Looking elsewhere, there were a few scars that had faded in color, and she must not have taken care of them.
Thinking of this, Pu Juan's tears couldn't stop flowing. She endured the discomfort in her heart and continued to wipe her fingers for Er Zhuyan, this time, Pu Juan's hand was extremely light, for fear that she would touch Er Zhuyan's wound if she didn't pay attention.
Slowly, Er Zhuyan felt a very hot warm current in her hand scorching her skin. This instantaneous heat made Er Zhuyan wake up instantly: "Ajuan, what's wrong with you, why are you crying again?"
Seeing this, Pu Juan picked up a sweat towel and slowly turned her head to wipe her tears, and then turned her head to look at Er Zhuyan, who saw that her eyes were full of tears, and she was in a hurry for a while. She looked at a few brand-new scratches on her hand, "When did it hurt, but I didn't even find it" Thinking of this, combined with Pu Juan's reaction, Er Zhuyan instantly understood that it was she who caused Pu Juan to cry. "I'm fine, don't cry, look, I'm not good!"
Saying that, Er Zhuyan also deliberately hung her hand in front of Pu Juan's eyes, she turned her arm left and right to deliberately let Pu Juan watch: "It really doesn't hurt, don't you cry, okay?"
Pu Juan wiped her tears and said to the girl on the side: "Go, bring the general's ointment" After speaking, she cleaned the sweat towel and then grabbed Er Zhuyan's other hand to wipe it for her.
"Have you been wandering alone like this all these years? I don't know how to take care of myself" As she spoke, the maid came over with the ointment, and after Pu Juan took the ointment, she carefully applied it to Zhu Yan.
"Ajuan, I really don't hurt, don't be angry, okay?"
Seeing that Pu Juan was silent, Er Zhuyan drooped her head and secretly looked at Pu Juan's reaction. Obviously, Pu Juan was really angry, and she didn't pay attention to her for a long time. No matter what Er Zhuyan tried to flatter, she didn't reply to her for a long time.
"Ajuan, what are you doing!" Suddenly, Er Zhuyan saw Pu Juan writing something seriously, and after a few sneaky glances, Er Zhuyan found that these were all sentences for Yeyana. Seeing this, Er Zhuyan understood that if Yeyana received this letter, she would definitely take her back at that time, not to mention wandering the rivers and lakes, she would definitely let her copy "Female Virtue", "Female Ring" and other things like when she was a child.
"I'm going to tell Madame how you're doing, and what's going on! This time, you must not let you wander the rivers and lakes alone, you look at the wounds on your hands, you can see so much, when you can't see it, how distressing it is! Miss, you really can't go on like this" After speaking, Pu Juan snatched the pen from Er Zhuyan's hand and said again: "Don't think I don't know, last time you were fighting against the clan master in order to save He Liuhun, but you were fighting against the clan master with your life, do you think Mrs. doesn't know?" She just doesn't want to believe that you would do this to an outsider."
Hearing Pu Juan talk about the last time Er Zhu Yan saved Gao Huan at Li Hu's hands, she originally thought that this matter was over, how could Er Zhu Zhao know it, not only did they know it, but even Ye Yana also knew, how should this be!
"You mean, you all know" Er Zhuyan glanced at Pu Juan, obviously Pu Juan was angry at the moment, and was unwilling to deal with her, just said, Er Zhuyan looked at the girls in the house again, only to see that these girls were all avoided, she was just in a hurry, just to save people, but she never thought that it would be spread to this situation with false rumors.
Some servants who have been in the house for a long time know that she is Er Zhurong's daughter, Er Zhuyan, but she is just under the pseudonym Zhuge Muqing. I don't know where I think she came from, she just likes men, and she is still fussy about the general's wife.
After Er Zhuyan looked around for a week, she realized that these subordinates looked strangely at her. Seeing that no one paid attention to her, Er Zhuyan suddenly stammered, she looked at others, pointed to herself and stumbled and said, "I, this is..."
After Pu Juan finished writing the letter, she was about to put the letter in the envelope, when Er Zhuyan saw this, she grabbed it, and she said to Pu Juan with a serious face: "Ajuan, this matter can't be known to A-Niang, she will be worried."
Despite this, Pu Juan was still not half moved. Thinking of this, Er Zhuyan knew that she could only use a killer move, every time she made Pu Juan angry or needed Pu Juan to help her do something, Pu Juan was unwilling to help her, every time she was tired of being coquettish to Pu Juan, she could solve it. "Ajuan, you really can't let A-Niang know, you know her temper"
Speaking, Er Zhuyan slowly stretched out a little thumb to hook the corner of Pu Juan's clothes, after seeing it, Er Zhuyan grabbed Pu Juan's clothes little by little and approached her little by little, although as before, Pu Juan still did not move a little, Er Zhuyan knew that this time she could only go out, she had been rubbing around Pu Juan's shoulder like a cat and said: "Ajuan, Ajuan"
was made such a fuss by Er Zhuyan, Pu Juan knew that she had no way to take Er Zhuyan all the time. "Alright! I won't tell Madame," Pu Juan put down the letter. Seeing this, Er Zhuyan immediately happily went to the bear to hug Pu Juan, but forgot that Pu Juan could not be hugged by her bear now, and she must have been so happy, but the result was always so headless and brainless.
"Be careful" Pu Juan glanced at Er Zhuyan complainingly, obviously frightened by Er Zhuyan.
Er Zhuyan reacted immediately, and hurriedly said to the child in Pu Juan's belly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's my aunt who is too careless, I won't touch our kid Yue next time" Saying, she slowly stroked Pu Juan's belly, combing and combing for Pu Juan.
"You! It's always like this" Pu Juan sat down with both hands, and then waved her hand, and the maid quickly brought over a set of women's clothes and put them on the table.
Seeing this, Er Zhuyan looked surprised, she looked at Pu Juan, and then at this set of clothes, naturally understanding what Pu Juan meant. "Miss, this is what I specially asked someone to prepare for you, according to your size, after all, the house is not a military camp, you always wear a man's clothes is not the same thing, you change it for me to see"
Er Zhuyan reached out and touched the clothes prepared by Pu Juan, it was a red gauze skirt, and the peach flowers on the lower skirt must have been sewn by Pu Juan herself. When she thought of this, Er Zhuyan actually felt a little emotional, since Er Zhurong promised him that he could accompany the army in uniform, she didn't seem to feel as comfortable as she did now for a long time.
Yeena had given her a dress before, but she didn't like yellow, her favorite color was always red. As for when she started liking this color, she doesn't know, maybe she liked it from the cold plum in the winter of Taiyuan Palace! All this, Ye Yana doesn't understand, Pu Juan has always understood.
"Okay!" Er Zhuyan touched her clothes, then looked at Pu Juan and nodded slowly. Pu Juan smiled slowly at Er Zhuyan, and then the girls serving in the room came one after another. After a while, Er Zhuyan stood there slim, like a fairy in the sky.
"How's that, is it pretty?" I saw her standing in place and turning around gently, like a frozen picture. After changing clothes, I saw that all the maids in the room were instantly stunned.
"Ajuan, Ajuan" Seeing that Pu Juan was also looking at her intently, Er Zhuyan stepped forward with a confused face and slid a few times in front of Pu Juan, which pulled Pu Juan's gaze back.
Pu Juan stretched out her hand to sort out the skirt for Er Zhuyan, and then said gently: "Miss wears this, it looks so good."
"Really fake" Er Zhuyan's face was full of suspicion, Pu Juan shook her head with some sighs when she saw her like this, only to see her holding a bronze mirror and handing it to Er Zhuyan.
In the mirror, Er Zhuyan looked at her shadow and couldn't help but sigh, "How do I feel that this picture has a sense of déjà vu" After speaking, Er Zhuyan scratched her head, but when she saw this scene, she really can't remember it clearly, as if at a wedding.
Thinking of this, Er Zhuyan instantly sobered up: "Ajuan, I remember, where did I see this scene, it was on the night of Emperor Zhuang's wedding"
Speaking of Emperor Zhuang's wedding, it was the day when Er Zhuyan escaped, and when Er Zhu Ying'e stepped on the sedan chair of the Son of Heaven, she was wearing red clothes, and when she thought about it, she really looked like her.
Seeing this, Pu Juan slowly said in Er Zhuyan's ear: "Miss is talking about that illegitimate daughter"
Hearing this, Er Zhuyan couldn't help but look at Pu Juan with some frustration, since that person said goodbye in Luoyang, and now she doesn't know whether Er Zhu Ying'e is alive or dead, thinking that Erzhu Mansion will not like her, when mentioning this person, whether it is Yeyana or Pu Juan, their eyes are disgusted. "Ajuan, she is my sister after all"
Seeing this, Pu Juan said angrily: "She is not worthy of being your sister of Miss, if she wasn't arrogant, she would naturally not end up like that."
"But don't you think we're alike?" Er Zhuyan asked
Pu Juan could see that Er Zhuyan had a trace of discouragement and sorrow, she slowly stroked Er Zhuyan's sideburns and said: "Miss, the parents of the body, you and her are just similar to the skin, Miss doesn't need to care, in Ajuan's heart, our Miss is the most unique in the world" Hearing Pu Juan say this, Er Zhuyan felt that there was a warm light shining in her heart.
"Ajuan, it's still your best" Er Zhuyan hugged Pu Juan tightly.
Pu Juan patted Er Zhuyan's back with a doting look and said, "I heard that there is a new pastry chef in Quanshengzhai, if you hold me like this, you won't be able to eat it."
"I suddenly miss their family so much! Pu Juan, let's go to that house" After speaking, Er Zhuyan pulled Pu Juan out.
"You slow down, the skirt is long, don't fall" Pu Juan is like this now, but she can't run. She is now three months away from giving birth, and although she doesn't eat or vomit like she used to, she is still very taboo in terms of eating. If it weren't for Er Zhuyan, this girl was too jumpy, she really didn't like to go out of the house.
After leaving the General Zhuguo Mansion, Pu Juan said to the attendant with a sad face: "You are all good for a while, Miss Protection, the terrain of Kyoto is complicated, don't dare to let her run away"
"Nuo" attendants were five people in a row, and they saluted Pu Juan in two rows.
"Madam, I'll help you get into the sedan chair" The maid helped Pu Juan to walk slowly towards the carriage at the door, and saw Er Zhuyan standing aside, as if riding a horse, Pu Juan saw this, and hurriedly said to Er Zhuyan: "Miss, why don't you take the carriage with me!" You are too conspicuous walking on the road in red, there have been many spies in the capital recently, so it is better to be careful"
Er Zhuyan looked at her little red horse, then at Pu Juan, and reluctantly agreed: "Okay! After speaking, she helped Pu Juan to sit in the carriage, and then quickly entered the carriage with her legs. After waiting for both of her to enter the carriage, the attendant took the stool that had been placed on the ground and set off slowly.
Seeing Er Zhuyan's sullen appearance along the way, Pu Juan reached out and grabbed Er Zhuyan's hand and said, "I'm not used to riding in a carriage, are you?" ”
"No, I just feel that the carriage is going too slowly, it's better to ride on the horse" After speaking, Er Zhuyan said to the child in Pu Juan's belly: "Ziyue! When you grow up in the future, your aunt will definitely take you on horseback, so that our Ziyue will become the most powerful son in the entire Great Wei."
Seeing this, Pu Juan said with a wry smile: "I hope Ziyue is a girl, but it's best not to look too much like your aunt, you see how she has the demeanor of everyone's lady" After speaking, Pu Juan hung up Zhu Yan's nose and teased her.
"Ziyue, your mother makes fun of your aunt, Ziyue is good! Don't listen to your mother."
Hearing Pu Juan and Er Zhuyan talking and laughing in the car, Pu Juan's entourage outside the car hurriedly covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Madam, Miss, we have arrived."
"It's here" Er Zhuyan heard this, and hurriedly stood up happily, but she was too excited and hit the roof of the carriage. Seeing this, Pu Juan shook her head helplessly. "Miss, be heavy" Pu Juan got up slowly, and Er Zhuyan helped her get out of the carriage first.
After a while, a carriage stopped in front of Quansheng Zhai, and in the Accord on the second floor, Yuan Baoju looked at the carriage coming out of Erzhu Mansion with a sad face, and couldn't think for a long time. Seeing this, Yuan Song sat quietly aside to pour tea for him, and saw that Yuan Bao Ju had been setting his eyes on the carriage of Erzhu Mansion, and Yuan Song also followed Yuan Bao Ju's gaze.
"King Nanyang, what is the King of Nanyang looking at, so engrossed" Yuan Xiu, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help but be a little curious when he saw the ingots torch so concentrated.
"It's really rare to have such a luxurious carriage in Kyoto," after speaking, Yuan Bao Ju took a sip of tea, slowly put down the teacup, looked at Yuan Xiu and said.
"I think Brother Wang has not been in Kyoto for a long time, so naturally I don't know the current affairs in Kyoto, and the seat of the Son of Heaven may not be so luxurious" Yuan Xiu waved his folding fan, and glanced at it with a lively face, he knew whose carriage it was, and naturally he was not surprised.
"Shicai, that carriage belongs to Erzhu Mansion!" Ingot torch road
Yuan Song looked at the flag on the carriage, it was indeed true that Erzhu Mansion was true, he said slowly: "Qi Yu Gongzi, this totem is indeed the totem of the Erzhu chieftain" After speaking, Yuan Song also wondered: "Yesterday, this Erzhu Zhao went out of the city to chase Gao Huan, who will have this carriage in the capital"
Seeing that Yuan Baoju was so confused, Yuan Xiu smiled and said, "I think it must be Mrs. Erzhu here, a woman!" I love sweets, I can understand it" Speaking of this, Yuan Xiu played with the hair on his forehead in surprise and said: "It's just, why did Mrs. Erzhu come to this kind of place, if she likes this attic pastry, let people take it, why come in person"
After speaking, Yuan Xiu set his eyes on the carriage: "It is rumored that this Mrs. Erzhu is just a maid in Erzhu's mansion, but I didn't expect to be so favored by this Erzhu Zhao." Saying that, Yuan Xiu looked at Yuan Baoju with a bad face and said, "Brother Wang, do you want to see the true face of Mrs. Erzhu here?"
Seeing this, the ingot torch smiled, and he waved the folding fan and said lightly: "Appearance, it is skin"
Seeing that the Yuan Bao Torch was not moved at all, Yuan Xiu showed a look of urgency, he lay on the railing, and looked at the carriage intently.
Seeing that the carriage stopped, Pu Juan slowly pushed open the window curtain, and she said to the accompanying maid tassel: "Tassel, are you making fun of us!" ”
"Madam, how dare you tassel!" As he spoke, Tassel stretched out his hand to help Pu Juan get out of the carriage
"Come out, come out," I saw Yuan Xiu say excitedly as he knocked on the railing with the handle of the fan. Seeing this, the ingots torch calmly tasted the tea and did nothing else.
The tassel slowly helped Pu Juan out of the carriage, and when Yuan Xiu saw this, his face gradually turned flat with excitement: "How is she a woman with a big belly!" After speaking, he also commented on Pu Juan.
Seeing this, Yuan Song forcibly concealed the smile on his face, for fear that one would laugh carelessly. When Pu Juan's whole face was revealed, Yuan Xiu sat on the couch with no interest: "I have to say, Zhu Zhao's vision here is not very good, so many princes and ladies of the big families don't choose, but they just look at a girl with a rough face."
After Pu Juan got out of the car, she stood aside to take care of her clothes, the tassel slowly stretched out her hand, Er Zhuyan slowly put her hand on the tassel's hand, only to see her gently push the curtain on the carriage, and then walked out of the carriage gently and elegantly.
Seeing this, Yuan Song hurriedly said to the Yuan Bao Torch: "Gong, Gongzi, look" As he spoke, he pointed his finger in the direction where Er Zhuyan was.
"Beauty, beauty" Yuan Xiu saw this, the whole mouth flowed instantly, he looked at the Yuan Bao Torch with a puzzled face and said: "I have long heard that there is a beautiful woman in Erzhu Mansion, but I didn't expect that after Emperor Zhuang and Empress Erzhu's family, there are such beauties in the Erzhu family."
"Yan'er, come down!" Before Pu Juan could reach out to support Er Zhu Yan, she heard a shout from a distance
"Sister~"
