Chapter Ninety-Four: The Wind Blows the Leaves
"The women around you are one after another, one Yiyou, one Tong Yuqing, one Tong Yuqing, and another Lu Xi, it's endless, endless! Who else will come after Lucchi? How many more women do I have to deal with? In your house, not even a maid takes me seriously! That lady is your former personal maid, humiliating me and torturing me day and night, I'm fed up! You don't have me in your heart, why should I endure this for you? There you go! I don't want to see you again in my life,! ”
Tong Yuqing was afraid that Bai Qiaoxuan would say anything hurtful again, so she hurriedly picked him up and walked out. Yao Yao's gaze never left Bai Qiaoxuan for a moment, and it wasn't until she couldn't see him anymore that she withdrew her gaze and sat softly on the ground.
Zheng Feng gave the adjutant a look, and after the adjutant led everyone in the hall down, Zheng Feng helped Yao Yao to sit on the chair, he stroked her green silk, and said softly: "Yao Yao, I finally found you." I've already sent someone to ask my uncle, and when he comes out, we'll go to church and get married, okay?" ”
Yao Yao didn't say anything, Zheng Feng saw her appearance, and still had a hint of luck, "You don't know what to say, right?" You're so happy that I rescued you from the Bai family so suddenly, aren't you? ”
Yao Yao's eyes were still glazed, Zheng Feng was a little panicked, he held her hand, and said in a panic: "Yao Yao, Yao Yao, can you tell me a word?" Don't scare me! Yao Yao ......"
Yao Yao didn't seem to be able to hear what he said, and the remaining hope in Zheng Feng's heart was swept away, he slowly stood up and muttered, "You really don't have me in your heart......"
Zheng Feng still didn't see any reaction from her, and couldn't help but roar angrily: "That Bai Qiaoxuan doesn't have you in his heart at all!" You said it yourself! There are countless women around him, and you are just one of them! And you are the only one by my side. Can't you tell who's really good for you?! ”
Yao Yao finally reacted, but when she opened her mouth, she slammed a knife into Zheng Feng's heart, "I'd rather be his concubine than your wife." ”
Zheng Feng's blood surged, pushed Yao Yao to the ground, directly tore her clothes, and left extremely rough marks on her, but the person under him, as if he was dead, did not fight or make trouble, and let him bully, which made him feel strange, "Why don't you push me away?" ”
Yao Yao sneered: "I'm a weak woman, where can I get the strength to push you away?" It's okay, you can just feel free. Anyway, it's impossible for me to return to Childe in my life. If I can't see him, it doesn't make a difference between life and death, do I still care about this shell? ”
Zheng Feng got up from Yao Yao and muttered, "Is he really that important to you?" So that you can not even care about chastity...... So what am I in your eyes? What am I! ”
Yao Yao didn't even want to look at him again, let alone answer his question, she turned her head to the side, stared in the direction Bai Qiaoxuan left, and silently thought in her heart, Miss, you must send Gongzi back to Jindu safely......
Tong Yuqing didn't go west after taking Bai Qiaoxuan out, Bai Qiaoxuan looked in the wrong direction and asked, "Aren't we going back to Jindu?" How do you go east? ”
Tong Yuqing said: "Zheng Feng told me that he was able to catch you successfully this time, because he colluded with Du Luo. Those people are not so simple, they will definitely not obey Zheng Feng's orders. I was afraid that they would set a trap on our way back, so I wanted to go to my uncle's house first, borrow some men, and escort us back to Jindu. Otherwise, just the two of us, we won't let Du Luo's life be swallowed alive. ”
Bai Qiaoxuan smiled: "It's still thoughtful." Zheng Feng really had no scruples for Yao Yao, and even Du Luo's people dared to provoke him! ”
Tong Yuqing said coldly: "Fortunately, he didn't get mad enough to use * against you, but just colluded with the gang that trafficked*." At the beginning, you used * to deal with Tong Baiyi, but did you think that one day, others would also use the person who made it against you? ”
Bai Qiaoxuan shouted: "I'm injured like this, why do you still say me?" Can't you be gentle and considerate? ”
Tong Yuqing glared at him and said, "I can kick you out of the car with one kick, and ensure that you don't have the power to parry at all." ”
Bai Qiaoxuan was discouraged, "I never imagined that Yao Yao would do those shameless things!" ”
Tong Yuqing said lightly: "Poor people must have something to hate, and conversely, hateful people must also have something to hate." No matter what she has done, she has left you, and there is no need to care about many things. ”
Bai Qiaoxuan asked, "Listening to your tone, do you already know these things?" You knew it earlier, so why didn't you tell me earlier? ”
Tong Yuqing looked at him helplessly, and Bai Qiaoxuan also said helplessly: "I kind of understand, you can use compassion for anyone, but you can't use it for me." Anyway, as you said, it's already in the past anyway, and there's no point in me worrying about it. ”
Tong Yuqing looked at the wounds on his body and said, "After a while, out of Zheng Feng's realm, I will briefly treat the wounds for you first." Otherwise, you won't be able to hold on to my uncle. ”
Bai Qiaoxuan asked with a hippie smile: "To be honest, are you coveting my beauty and want to take advantage of me?" ”
Tong Yuqing braked suddenly, almost throwing Bai Qiaoxuan to the front window, "Do you believe that I can throw you down to feed the wild boar?" ”
Bai Qiaoxuan was touched by the wound, and the pain in his heart made him no longer in the mood to joke with Tong Yuqing, he could only obediently lean on the back of the chair and said again and again: "Xinxin, Xin......"
After Tong Yuqing arrived at Guo's mansion, she first called Qing Ziting to report his safety, and told Qing Ziting that he would wait for Bai Qiaoxuan's injury to heal before taking him back to Jindu, and invited a doctor to treat Bai Qiaoxuan. Ten days later, the two left Guofu and set off to return to Jindu. When they set foot on the land of Jindu again, it was already the Mengqiu season. Although it was in Mengqiu, the heat was still pressing, and Bai Qiaoxuan wanted to take a shower happily, but Lu Xi kept in mind the doctor's instructions and refused to let him get wet. One day, Bai Qiaoxuan took advantage of Lu Xi's absence and wanted to sneak into the bathroom, but as soon as he stepped into the bathroom with his front foot, Lu Xi came back with his back foot.
Luci pulled him out of the bathroom, "How many times has the doctor told you?" You can't get wet, you can't get wet, why don't you be obedient? Do you want me to keep an eye on you all the time? It took so many twists and turns for everyone to get you out, don't you take care of your injuries, are you worthy of the people who helped you? Needless to say, my father-in-law and parents, you can come back this time, and the second brother and sister-in-law have also helped a lot. Do you think you're worthy of them? ”
Bai Qiaoxuan was a little surprised, "Your second brother...... Did he help save me? ”
Lu Xi replied without thinking: "Yes, on the day when there was no news from you, the second brother personally went to find out the news everywhere, but it happened to be a heavy rainy day, and he had a cold attack." The second sister-in-law will also help save you for the sake of the second brother's face, isn't she? ”
The second half of Lu Xi's sentence was nothing, but the first half of the sentence really surprised Bai Qiaoxuan. If it were him, just pretend to be in front of Yuqing, there is no need to have an old illness, it seems that he is really helping to find his whereabouts.
For the first time, Bai Qiaoxuan had a slight change in his opinion of Qing Ziting, in fact, if he thought about his hostility towards him before, it was all for Yuqing, not because of himself, there was anything wrong.
Lu Xi saw Bai Qiaoxuan smiling strangely and asked, "What are you laughing at?" ”
Bai Qiaoxuan held her hand and replied, "Of course I'm happy that I have so many relatives who treat each other sincerely." ”
Lucy laughed, "So for this, I thought you had something funny in mind." Saying that, Lu Xi walked over and locked the bathroom door, and said to Bai Qiaoxuan: "You stay in the room obediently, I'll go downstairs to see if dinner is ready." ”
Bai Qiaoxuan looked at the locked bathroom helplessly, and could only lie on the bed honestly. He looked out the window, thinking about Tong Yuqing and Qing Ziting, and suddenly remembered the bet he had with Yuqing before he set out on the expedition, did he win or Yuqing won? It doesn't seem like they won.
Bai Qiaoxuan shook his head and smiled bitterly, they were betting on the political situation, and Zheng Feng was betting on the love field. The premise of this bet is problematic, and naturally there will be no win or loss. Although there was no win or loss in this bet, Bai Qiaoxuan already had a plan in his heart. As long as Qing Ziting is not a stumbling block for him, he will not point the finger at him again.
Now Lu Jingwu is leading his troops to attack Huju Pass, and the position of Financial Secretary is vacant, so the top priority is to get the position of Financial Secretary before Lu Jingwu returns. The so-called getting it is not in your own hands, but in the hands of people who will not be enemies with you, otherwise you will be too sharp and easy to burn. So who is the person who poses no threat to himself and who is not very close to him? If it's not Yuqing, it's not the Lu brothers, it's not the Zhong clan, it's only ......
The dispute between the Financial Secretary and the Financial Secretary can be described as a fierce fire, and the dispute will not end. Lu Tiansheng's ears were like being surrounded by a swarm of flies from morning to night, buzzing non-stop.
On the grounds of qualifications, experience, stability and balance of power, Pak Qiaoxuan nominated a deputy secretary of the Financial Secretary as the new secretary.
Tong Yuqing nominated the former Financial Secretary Chung Shupo as the new Secretary of the Secretary, citing qualifications, experience, favors, and stability of the overall situation.
Lu Jingpeng recommended himself on the grounds of his surname.
Zhong Shunhua didn't give any reason, only put down a sentence to Lu Tiansheng, if the director is not taken over by Zhong's people, he will bear the consequences. In fact, Zhong Shunhua and Tong Yuqing are on the same front this time, because now the Zhong family, apart from her and Zhong Wanlu, only Zhong Shubo is left.
Yang Hao poured Lu Tiansheng's ashtray ten times, and finally when he poured it for the eleventh time, he ushered in a person who could solve the dilemma, and he respectfully saluted the person who came, "Master Zhong." ”
Zhong Shubo, who was so emaciated that he was not human, nodded slightly, "Vice General Yang, please inform the Overseers, Zhong asks to see you." ”
When everyone in the room heard that Zhong Shubo was coming, they had different thoughts, but they still stepped forward politely.
Zhong Shunhua grabbed his arm and said, "Brother, you can't back down this time, you must go out of the mountain again for Wu'er." ”
Zhong Shubo pulled his arm out of his sister's hand without a trace, but this move was still noticed, Lu Jingpeng was secretly happy in his heart, Bai Qiaoxuan and Tong Yuqing glanced at each other, and then looked elsewhere.
Lu Tiansheng invited Zhong Shubo to sit down, first chatted about some health regimens, and then brought the conversation back to the topic, "I know that Keqian's incident has hit my brother hard, but I still have to ask, I wonder if my brother is willing to share his worries for his younger brother and take over the position of financial secretary?" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone's hearts hung up, and it seemed that Lu Tiansheng had already made a plan in his heart, hoping that Zhong Shubo would come back to take over the Financial Division.
Everyone's eyes fell on Zhong Shubo, Zhong Shubo was silent for a long time, and Fang said, "Zhong, I am willing." But ......"
Lu Tiansheng asked, "But what?" ”
Zhong Shubo replied: "But Zhong has not asked about political affairs for a long time, and I hope that there will be a few more clever people by his side to help." ”
Lu Tiansheng put his mind at ease and said with a smile: "I thought it was a big deal, that's all, it's easy to say, which ones does my brother fancy to?" That's what I'll give you. ”
Zhong Shubo smiled faintly: "It's not someone else, it's your Chenglong fast son-in-law, my nephew and son-in-law." ”
Lu Tiansheng was stunned for a moment, then laughed, pointed at Bai Qiaoxuan and said, "Qiao Xuan, don't you report to your uncle?" ”
Tong Yuqing didn't understand, why did Zhong Shubo ask Bai Qiaoxuan to come to him, did he just fancy his cleverness? She looked at Bai Qiaoxuan, who obviously didn't know about it either. The two looked at each other, and they couldn't guess why they came, so they could only read silently......
After Bai Qiaoxuan was transferred to the Financial Secretary, Zhong Shubo did not make any shocking moves, but just took care of the affairs of the department as usual. Such a calm can be pretended for a month or two, but a year is unlikely. Bai Qiaoxuan and Tong Yuqing put their minds at ease, things were not as complicated as they imagined, they were thinking too much.
In the past year, the forces that Bai Qiaoxuan secretly combined have become small-scale. Although Tong Yuqing had been secretly watching his actions, she neither supported nor interfered with him. She seems to have forgotten everything she used to be, and just concentrates on doing her own thing every day. I don't know if it's deliberately avoided, or if it's really forgotten about the past, the two have hardly met in private for a year, and even if they did, the two just said hello lightly and didn't talk deeply.
Everything in Jindu looks as calm as water, but as long as a small pebble, it can break its calm, not to mention that it is still a big stone? If you want to explain the origin of this big stone, you have to start from Bai Qiaoxuan and Tong Yuqing's return to Jindu a year ago, Bai Qiaoxuan was injured and could no longer lead the troops to fight Huju Pass, Tong Yuqing even brought back the news that Zheng Hui was not dead, how could Lu Tiansheng let go of the Zheng family, the murderer who killed his son? So he sent Lu Jingwu to attack Huju Pass, but he had to face not only the Zheng family, but also King Duluo, who joined forces with Zheng Feng, which made this war extremely difficult. Seeing that Du Luo's people were about to break through the eastern defense line, Lu Jingwu could only choose to negotiate peace, and the conditions proposed by King Du Luo were generally land cedes, indemnities, and marriage. Needless to say, they have long coveted the easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack Tiger Pass, and the compensation is the financial revenue of Puxin Prefecture for five years, and the most troublesome of the three is this marriage.
Among Lu Tiansheng's three sons and two daughters, only Lu Jingpeng and Lu Ye have not yet married, and although King Duluo did not say it explicitly, he has no daughters under his knees, and all this marriage can only marry Lu Ye.
Lu Ye fainted immediately after knowing the news, and after waking up, she desperately thought of a way to save herself, but she didn't remember that she needed a car to find a savior, so she ran directly to Qing Ziting's mansion.
Coincidentally, when she ran to the front of the house, she happened to run into Lu Xi who was delivering something to Tong Yuqing, and Lu Xi couldn't help but ask when she saw her sister's panicked appearance: "Ye'er, what's wrong?" It's the fourth aunt, she ......"
Lu Ye knelt down in front of Lu Xi and Tong Yuqing, both of them were stunned, one of them helped Lu Ye up, and Bai Qiaoxuan in the car saw that something had happened and followed them into the hospital. Tong Yuqing asked Mi Lan to invite Qing Ziting, as soon as Lu Ye saw Qing Ziting, he knelt at his feet again, Qing Ziting stood up in shock, "Ye'er, what are you doing?" Let's talk about something when we get up. ”
Lu Ye cried: "If the second brother doesn't promise me, I can't get up." ”
Qing Ziting smiled bitterly, "You didn't say what it was, what did you ask the second brother to promise you?" Be obedient, get up first and then speak. ”
Lu Ye still refused, sobbing and said: "Second brother, I beg you to plead with my father, I don't want to marry Duluo, Duluo is a hell, I can't live if I fall." Second brother, I beg you to save me! Father has always loved you the most, and he will not refuse to say anything to you. I beg you to ......"
Qing Ziting was shocked, "Duluo? When did your father let you marry Duro? Saying that, he looked at Tong Yuqing, but Tong Yuqing looked dazed, obviously not knowing the news.
Lu Xi also looked at Bai Qiaoxuan, Bai Qiaoxuan shook his head, "I don't know the news, didn't I accompany you to go shopping today?" ”
In Lu Ye's intermittent description, the four knew that Lu Jingwu had lost the battle at the front, and one of the conditions for reconciliation proposed by King Duluo was marriage.
Tong Yuqing heard Qing Ziting talk about this sister before. Lu Ye is from Lu Tiansheng's fourth aunt Taigou family, because she is a girl and has a crazy biological mother, so for so many years, Lu Tiansheng and Zhong Shunhua seem to have forgotten that there is such a person as her, neither paying attention to her nor hating her. But she was treated inhumanely by her biological mother, just because there was a boy born with her, who was Lu Ye's twin brother. At that time, they were still in infancy, and Lu Ye was put on the ground by Gou Shi with a high fever, which transmitted the disease to her own brother, and the boy died of the disease. Since the death of his son, Gou has been crazy, and when he was sober, he scolded Lu Ye for being a mourning star, and when he was confused, he punched and kicked her. In short, no matter when, Lu Ye was tortured by his biological mother all the time, but Lu Ye never blamed the Gou family, but took care of her wholeheartedly.
Tong Yuqing thought about what happened to Lu Ye, listened to her crying, and wanted to help her, but Tong Yuqing also knew very well in her heart that as long as the eastern defense line could not be defended, it would be impossible for anyone to ask Lu Tiansheng to save Lu Ye from the fire.
Lu Xi saw that his sister was crying into a tearful person, he was really distressed, and begged his husband, "Qiao Xuan, is there a way for you to make Ye'er not have to marry Duluo......
Bai Qiaoxuan was helpless, so he could only signal Lu Xi to speak aside. Tong Yuqing saw that Bai Qiaoxuan had taken Lu Xi away, and also whispered to Qing Ziting: "Let's go back to the room and talk." ”
Qing Ziting locked the door and asked, "Ruojiao, what do you want to tell me?" Ye'er is still kneeling in the hall, and it's not good for us to leave for too long. ”
Tong Yuqing said: "Ziting, when you go to ask your father later, you have to be mentally prepared, he is afraid that he will not agree to you." ”
Qing Ziting didn't understand, "I really don't understand, how could my father let Ye'er marry Du Luo?" That's a Longtan Tiger's Den! ”
Tong Yuqing sighed: "This is the matter of military politics, it doesn't matter if you don't understand, but you must understand the word proportion, you can't push your father too hard, otherwise it will only backfire." ”
Qing Ziting was helpless, "I don't understand anything else, but I at least understand the six words of doing everything and obeying the destiny of heaven." ”
Tong Yuqing nodded, "There is one more thing, I think Ye'er didn't want to marry Du Luo just because she was afraid, she seems to have some other reason." When I go back later, I'll ask her, and if she doesn't want to answer, you'll have to help me. I always had a vague feeling that the reason she didn't want to say was the real reason why she didn't want to marry Duro. ”
After Qing Ziting responded, the two returned to the hall, Tong Yuqing just wanted to ask Lu Ye the real reason, Lu Xi suddenly asked this question, Tong Yuqing understood, and Bai Qiaoxuan also saw the clue.
Lu Ye couldn't help but get nervous when he saw that the eyes of his brother and sister-in-law and sister-in-law and sister-in-law all fell on him, Tong Yuqing saw that her face was flushed, and her hand was still wrapping around her clothes, so she guessed a point or two in her heart, and asked directly: "Who is that person?" ”
Lu Ye's face could no longer be described as red, because it was already a little purple, and she hesitated for a long time before replying: "Yang ...... Brother Yang. ”
Bai Qiaoxuan was very sensitive, he was surprised and shocked, "Yang Hao? ”
Lu Ye's head lowered a point invisibly, and Qing Ziting also felt incredulous, so she leaned in front of her sister and asked, "When did you get together with Brother Yang?" ”
Lu Xi also asked: "His wife has been dead of illness for many years, but no matter what, he already has a wife, do you want to marry him as a stepfamily?" ”
With so many questions, Lu Ye didn't know which one to answer first, so she could only whisper: "Except for the second brother and sister, Brother Yang is the best person in the world to me, because only he will bring me firewood when there is not enough firewood in my room; Only he will send me medicine as soon as the fourth aunt hurts me; He is the only one who comforts me softly when I am overwhelmed. Over the years, the fourth aunt's illness has come and gone, and my father doesn't remember that I am a daughter, and the second brother and sister have my sister in their hearts......"
