Chapter 60: One Part, Two Wide
Rao Tu leaned on the bed, suddenly covering her heart, and somewhere in her heart was aching. She pushed the window and looked at the sky outside, it was dark and gloomy, as if there were tens of thousands of catties of rain in the sky, and she soon couldn't hold it and wanted to splash it on her head.
She hugged the futon, the wind blew, and the boundless loneliness greeted her.
Footsteps sounded, he pushed open the courtyard door and walked outside, inside the black cloak was a long jade robe, which was indescribably freehand.
Rao Di blurted out, "Yan Bing." β
He saw the woman in the wooden window, a bleak and desolate picture, the dilapidated wooden window framing her peerless face. The rain was coming, and she cowered in a corner, helpless and innocent.
Shen Zhu walked a few steps into the house, closed the window, and scolded: "It's cold outside, can't you notice it?" β
Rao Tu was stunned for a moment, "Is it going to rain?" β
He grabbed her by the shoulders and laid her flat on the bed, tucked the quilt corners, "The mountain rain is coming." β
Rao Tu held his hand, he had just returned from riding a horse, and his fingers were slightly cold. "Yan Bing, it's going to rain, don't go out again."
A feast to him ten years ago.
He said "um", "I'm not going out." As he spoke, he moved a wooden table to the side of the bed, lit the oil lamp on the table, and sat on the edge of the bed reading the book of the monk Naruki.
The light shone his shadow on her, and she reached out and grabbed it in the void, and whispered, "That's fine." β
In this way, he is by her side, her sky, her mountain, carrying everything for her.
Shen Zhu turned around and rubbed her cheeks, and said gently, "It's still early, sleep for a while." β
"Okay." She grabbed his sleeve and closed her eyes. After a while, the sound of his deliberately suppressed flipping book sounded in his ears.
Once upon a time, the best years of her life flowed away in the sound of his flip book.
Shen Zhu finished opening the book of Mingqi Jushi, spread out a piece of white silk, pinched up a thin tube, and wrote a 10,000-character long essay on the white silk.
When I stopped writing, it was already raining outside the window. Shen Zhu listened to the sound of the rain and thought that in his life, he didn't know what to worry about before he was ten years old. When he was ten years old, his father resigned and returned to Qingzhou, and his parents died at the age of twelve. Nineteen married her, twenty study tours, twenty-four high school flowers, twenty-seven officials worshiped Huangmenlang, and twenty-nine met her again.
He looked at Rao Tu with a gentle expression. That night in Fireworks Willow Lane, she smiled back at him in front of the scorching peony flower window, obviously her eyebrows, eyes, mouth and nose were not the same, but he knew that it was his Ah Yu who came back.
"Yan Bing......" She clenched the corners of his clothes, frowning slightly, as if she had fallen into a nightmare.
Shen Zhu held her hand, "Ah, I'm here." β
Rao Di opened her eyes and was stunned when she saw him, and suddenly hugged his neck tightly, "Yan Bing, don't go." β
There was a knock on the door, and Liu Xing whispered outside: "Girl, it's time to drink medicine." β
Shen Zhu patted Rao's hand, she let go of the posture of hugging his neck, and said to the door: "Bring it in." β
Liu Xing brought a bowl of clear medicinal soup, and Shen Zhu tasted half a spoonful, which was slightly sweet. Liu Xing explained: "Mr. Lu's specially prescribed warm tonic soup is not harmful to the body and can stabilize the foundation. β
Rao Di took the medicine bowl, took a few sips, and Shen Zhu said on the side: "You don't know how to drink slowly?" Who's going to rob you? β
Rao wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, "You don't know how to speak gently?" It's always been like this, cold and impersonal, fake and serious. β
Shen Zhu was speechless, reflecting on whether he had always been like this.
Rao Di said to Liu Xing: "You have a crush in the future, be sure to show me, if it is the kind of cold wood that can't even say a good word, no matter how handsome you are, you can't marry." You see, I am an example, when the lard was blinded by his heart, so he was determined not to marry. β
Liu Xing couldn't help but smile and left, the little girl had a feeling that she felt that the girl was not the same as before, and she deliberately went against Lord Shen before. Now it is natural to reveal a naΓ―ve attitude, like a shy lady complaining about her husband, obviously full of joy, but she is picky in every way.
Shen Zhu waited for Liu Xing to close the door outside, and said to Rao Di: "Didn't you arrange me, you are very happy?" β
"It's a great joy." Rao Di looked at the white silk on the case, and saw that the fly's head was densely packed, and she couldn't help asking, "What is written?" β
Shen Zhu put away the white silk and said to her: "Take it closely, in case there is any danger in the future, it can save your life." β
Rao Di unfolded it and looked at it, but it was a 10,000-character governing policy, and she couldn't understand it.
"I don't want this."
"Obedient."
"Can't you save my life?"
"I ...... I can too, but this thing, you take care of it first. He folded the white silk and put it into a pouch and hung it around her neck.
Rao Tu grabbed the bag and looked him in the eye, "What are you hiding from me?" β
"Ah Yu, you are pregnant with a child, and it will be very difficult to give birth to him."
Rao Tu covered her lower abdomen, "I'm not afraid." He's coming for me again, and this time, I can't afford to lose him again. She looked at Shen Zhu with some vigilance, "So, don't hit his idea." β
Shen Zhu smiled slightly, "I'm just a little vinegar." β
Rao Tu glanced at him, "No shame, what are you vinegar with an unborn child?" β
Shen Zhu hugged her into his arms, listening to the sound of rain outside, he said: "If it is a daughter, it is called Hengxiu, and if it is a son, it is called Hengwen." Luckily? β
He took her hand and scribbled four words on the palm of his hand.
Heng, the same sound as θ .
Rao Tu shook her head and said, "It's ugly, my child is named, what are you making a fuss about." β
The rain outside the window was getting heavier and heavier, hitting the window sash, and it could be seen that the place where the window wood was embedded in the wall was already wet, and Shen Zhu pulled the quilt to her neck, "Is it cold?" β
Rao Tu shook her head, "What about you?" β
"I'm not cold either."
"Yan Bing, when will you return to the capital?"
"You want to go back?"
"No, I hope never to go back. That's good, I just want to have a yard, a small house, no need to decorate, old wood-framed windows. The yard is full of flowers, vegetables and fruits, and there is an old well under the tree, where you can float melons and plums in summer, and you can warm up around the stove in winter. β
Shen Zhu's expression was in a trance, and he muttered: "It's very beautiful for a family to talk around the fireplace at night." β
Rao Tu looked up at him and saw a strange glint in his eyes. She leaned gently into his arms, her eyes closed and smelling his breath. If only time could stop at this moment, it would be fine.
It rained for three days. It always rains during the day, and it freezes at night, and the soil in the courtyard freezes stiffly, and the next day people walk over and turn into ice and mud.
Many years later, she often recalled the three rainy days in Jinghui's first year, when she and Yan Bing hugged each other in the dilapidated hut. It's a short time, but it's also a long time.
At night that day, Rao Tu was inexplicably flustered in her heart, hugging Shen Zhu left and right and couldn't sleep. Shen Zhu pressed his forehead against her forehead and called her "Ah Yu" in a daze.
"I can't sleep." She said.
He opened his eyes and tightened her grip in his arms, without saying a word.
"Shen Zhu, what do you want to do?" She pushed him, trying to figure it out.
"Ah, sleep well."
In the dark, his voice was as gentle as a spring breeze in March.
Rao Tu felt a little at ease and slowly closed her eyes. Soon she fell into a deep sleep, and she did not expect that when she woke up again, the sky and the earth would change color. She didn't expect that for many days and nights to come, his voice would only be the phrase "sleep well", echoing in her ears.
In a long, long dream, she dreamed that he stood at the bow of the boat, dressed in white, and waved gently to him. She ran along the coast, trying to catch up with the boat, but soon the boat was far away. Far away, his face was hazy, his body was hazy, and finally even the boat was hazy, and he disappeared into the water......
The wheels of the carriage creaked against the snow. Rao's mind was drowsy, and suddenly the sound of the wheel was heard, and another voice said in her ear: "Girl, wake up, wake up, wake up quickly......"
When she opened her eyes, the face of the mountain ghost shook in front of her eyes, and she sat up against the wall of the car, wondering, "Where is this?" β
The mountain ghost said: "Girl, we are already in the Eastern Wuyin Valley." β
Soochow ...... Yin Valley? Rao Di reacted for a moment, frowned and asked, "What is it?" What about Shen Zhu? β
The mountain ghost lowered his eyebrows and said nothing.
Rao Di was suddenly startled, "What are you talking about Soochow?" How could it be in Soochow? Isn't it in the territory of the girder? β
"Girl, we're out of the way." The mountain ghost explained that her voice was not loud, but it had an echo, empty and distant.
Rao Di lifted the curtain of the car, and a dazzling ray of light shot in, stabbing her almost unable to open her eyes, and it was easy to recover her strength, but she saw that the surrounding mountains and rocks were craggy and snowy, and she didn't know where she was.
"This ...... What is this place? How could I be here, why wasn't I in Gushazhou? β
"This is the Valley of the Shadows." Lu Zhiming lifted the curtain, "The carriage has been traveling for a few days, and it has already left Gushuzhou. β
Rao Di looked outside the curtain and saw that there was a carriage in front of her, and felt slightly relieved, "Is Shen Zhu in that car?" Why are we here, shouldn't we go to Jinling? β
"It's so hidden, no one can find it, so come here. As for Shen Zhu, he had already returned to the capital. Lu Zhiming said lightly.
Rao Tu was stunned for a moment, in disbelief, got out of the car and ran to another carriage, the driver was Li Yu. When the curtain was lifted, there were Yuxiu, Zhenlong and Old Madam Xie who was half-asleep with squinting eyes sitting inside.
Zhenlong tilted her head slightly and said softly: "Madame, you can rest assured that you can raise a baby here, and no one will disturb you." β
She turned her head to look back at the valley, but saw several brand-new buildings in the northwest. It's not big, but it's sturdy.
"Shen Zhu went to the capital alone?" Rao Di looked at Lu Zhiming, "Why didn't you tell me?" β
"Lord Shen left something for you." Lu Zhiming took out a letter from his arms and presented it to Rao.
Rao Tu tore open the envelope, took out the bamboo xuan, and wrote: "Shen Zhu, the person who established the book, once had no face to the concubine because of his bad beloved, and he was willing to make this letter of resignation, let him remarry, and never dispute." I am afraid that there will be no basis for this, so I voluntarily set up this document as a photo. β
She read it word by word for a long time.
The mountain ghost and Liu Xing carried out a wooden box from the carriage, and when they opened the lid of the box, it was a box of gold and a small sandalwood box.
Rao Di picked up the sandalwood box and opened it, only to see two crescent earrings, a rune dagger, and a long hosta.
The long hosta is what he has always used to tie his hair.
The mountain ghost said in a low voice: "Lord Shen sold the mansion in Jinling City, this is three thousand taels of gold. He said...... Say ......"
Rao Tu put away the letter of resignation, "What do you say?" β
"He said that the debt had been repaid, and that they would be fine."
Rao Di nodded and smiled desolately: "Yes, the debt has been paid." Looking at the vasher, she walked slowly, her shoes sinking into the snow, and the snow was up to her knees.
The mountain ghost was afraid that she would fall, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help her, but she pushed her away. Lu Zhiming frowned slightly, stepped forward and said slowly: "Rao, things in the world were originally reluctant, and this may be the best ending." β
"Yes, reluctantly, I'm not reluctant. Isn't that what I'm asking for? She sniffed, hugged Lu Zhiming and said, "Is the child in my womb okay?" β
"Okay."
"After a few days of turbulence, I should continue to take the medicine that solidifies the fetus."
"Yes. Yesterday I took your pulse, and the poison in my body was exhausted. Next, take care of yourself, no one will disturb you in this valley, live for a while, and give birth to children. Some of them are busy. β
Rao Tu smiled: "Yes, I still have to take care of the children and serve my grandmother, I am very busy." β
Lu Zhiming helped her into the house, a hall, two bedrooms on the left and right, out of the back door, and a few tile houses. There are six bedrooms in total. The beds in the room are neatly furnished, and the tables and chairs are brand new.
Rao Tu sat down in a room, holding the small sandalwood box in her hand, her fingers frozen stiff. The mountain ghost and Liu Xing went to the stove room to burn the stove fire, and there was a ground dragon in the house, which soon warmed up, her face was calm, she put the box and the book of resignation on the bed, and said to Lu Zhiming: "Please sir, wait a moment, let me go and settle the old lady first." β
Lu Zhiming nodded, saw her walk out of the door, looked around the various rooms, and finally sent Mrs. Xie into the largest room, and ordered the girl to go to the stove room to see if there was any rice, flour, oil and salt, and if there was anything, make something to eat first.
After ordering everything, he returned to the room and smiled at Lu Zhiming: "Grandma is very satisfied, although this place is far away from Gujiazhou, it is also far away from disputes. Li Yu brought some seeds, and when spring begins, he can open a vegetable garden in the courtyard. β
Lu Zhiming said softly: "If you have bitterness in your heart, you don't have to endure it. β
"I'm fine, why is there any suffering?" Rao Di sat down on the edge of the bed, pointed to a chair and asked Lu Zhiming to sit, "He is alone in the capital, and he is in danger." β
Lu Zhiming was noncommittal.
Rao Tu took out the white hosta from the box, "Please return this thing to him, Mr. has nothing to do with it, this is his thing, I don't want it." β
"If there is fate in the future, it is better to give it to him personally. I won't go to Jinling for the time being. β
"Isn't Mr. going to Jinling City?" Rao Tu was slightly shocked.
Lu Zhiming shook his head.
"You're going to stay?"
"Entrusted by him, I will leave when you give birth to a child."
Rao Di couldn't help but ask: "He's there alone, what does he want to do, he...... Will he die? As he spoke, tears welled up in his eyes.
"He has his way to go."
"Will he die?"
"You don't want him to die?"
"I ...... I don't want to see him in my life, but ...... I don't want him to die. Is he going to die in the capital? He's alone, and there's no one to collect his body...... The capital is so big, the people in it are so bad, he doesn't have any to rely on, what should he do? β
"He will marry Princess Xunyang."
"Princess Xunyang...... Princess Xunyang ......" Rao wiped her tears, and a glimmer of hope ignited in her eyes: "Princess Xunyang likes him so much, she won't let him die." β
Lu Zhiming sighed secretly in his heart, after Prince Yu ascended the throne, the anger of the Son of Heaven, what could Princess Xunyang stop?
"Yes, Mr. Lu? He will live well, marry the princess, serve the new emperor, enter the Zhongshu Province, and be happy in the future. Rao's voice trembled slightly, and she only begged Lu Zhiming to say the word "yes".
Lu Zhiming finally nodded, "So, don't worry about him." β
Rao Di's heart was in turmoil, and suddenly saw Zhenlong standing outside the door, she hurriedly got up and pulled her back, "Zhenlong, Lord Shen will be fine in Jinling City, right?" β
Zhenlong was silent for a moment before he said, "Maybe when the peach blossoms bloom next year, he will come back to see Madame." β
Looking out the door, there were several peach trees. Snow pressed on the branches.
Lu Zhiming stepped forward and said: "The winter of Dongwu has passed, and spring will come soon, when the mountains are green, the peaches and plums will bloom and bear fruits, and when the fruits are ripe in summer, it will be delicious to get the ice spring water in the town." Then autumn will come soon, and in early winter, you give birth. The next year, the peach blossoms bloomed again. You see, in fact, the days go by very quickly. β
Rao Tu held on to the door frame, and her heart was bitter. Whether it was Lu Zhiming or Zhenlong, no one was willing to tell her the truth, but she knew that Shen Zhu was nine deaths in Jinling.
Thinking back to Gu Shuzhou's everything, I only feel heartbroken, he is always that kind of person, he will hide his deep scheming under the mildness and indifference, even if Mount Tai is overwhelming, he will keep the clouds light and light.
Rao Di took a deep breath, the only thing she could do now was to take care of her body. If he dies, at least, he can be left behind.
Lu Zhiming said warmly: "When I came, Lord Shen told me that there was one less well in this valley. After settling down, I worked with Li Yu to dig a well in the yard. β
Rao Tu smiled at Lu Zhiming and said, "He still remembers this, but I just said it casually, Mr. doesn't have to take it seriously." β
Lu Zhiming smiled: "There is a well that is more convenient, I remember when I was a child, I also drilled a well with my master in the Taoist temple. β
The mountain ghost and Liu Xing came over and laughed and said that they had found a cellar in the backyard, in which plum wine was buried, and there were also a lot of bacon, dried herbs, and dried mushrooms. They cut a piece of smoked venison, cooked millet porridge, pasted white flour cakes, and let them eat.
Rao Di was carried to Mrs. Xie's room by two girls, the old lady was a little sleepy before, but now she relieved herself and smiled at Rao Di: "Er, don't think too much about your uncle, they men always have to do big things." There are so many people here, you have a small one in your belly, and there is still an old one like me sitting here, but it's not enough for you to be busy? β
Rao Di smiled and said: "It's just that grandma was wronged to stay away from her homeland and follow her to wander away." β
"You are in one day, and I am blessed in one day. When I die of old age, you will send my coffin to Gushuzhou and bury it with your grandfather, that is. β
Rao Tu said: "Grandma is blessed, I'm afraid that the child in my arms will grow up and marry a daughter-in-law, and grandma is still alive!" β
Old Madam Xie smiled: "Then I will really become an old immortal!" β
Everyone laughed, and the mountain ghosts Liu Xing and Yuxiu brought the prepared meals to the house, and Rao Di only said that there was no need to be a master and servant, and asked everyone to eat together.
She smelled the fragrance of millet porridge, and said angrily: "Lord Shen still envy us in the capital, eating around the fireplace and talking about it is not better than him intriguing with others in Jinling City!" β
Old Madam Xie shook her head and said, "You kid, your uncle is showing his ambitions in the temple, why don't you think about people!" β
Rao Tu smiled, "I'm just talking, how can I ...... Where...... It's better not to miss him. In the end, I choked up a little and stopped talking.
After holding on to the meal, it was already dark. This is a deep valley, surrounded by cliffs, and the narrow road into the valley has been sealed by Lu Zhiming. At night, Liu Xing was packing up the futon in the house, and Rao Di sat on the side, fiddling with the box of gold.
Liu Xing said: "The lord sold the mansion, I don't know where to live." β
Rao Tu said lightly: "Naturally, there is a horse mansion for him to live in." She threw away the gold hammer in her hand, made a dingdong crisp sound, and said angrily: "What's the use of three thousand taels of gold, trapping people here, and they can't spend it!" β
The mountain ghost came in with a smile, "Miss, I see that this place is excellent, and it is of no use. There are a lot of rice, wine and meat in the cellar, and when Xiuniang opens up the preserved vegetables and plants melons and vegetables, we also have fresh vegetables to eat. Isn't it beautiful to have wine to drink and meat to eat? β
Rao Tu glanced at her, "That's you." Her heart suddenly moved, "How long can I eat rice?" β
"If you leave some grain seeds for sowing, year after year, you can eat them for a long time!"
Rao said angrily: "Who wants to stay here year after year, you just say that you don't grow rice, just how long can you eat it?" β
"About ...... A year. The mountain ghost said uncertainly.
Rao Tu muttered: "One year...... He prepared for a year...... Mountain ghost, did you see anything when you went to the Shen family's old mansion later? β
The mountain ghost looked out the window, walked to Raodi's side and whispered: "I saw the girl, Lu Zhiming, and even saw my ......"
Rao Tu was stunned for a moment, twisted her eyebrows and said, "What are you talking about?" β
"Lord Shen didn't go back to Jinling alone. We're all following him. β
"Huh? "Aren't we here?" Why did you follow him again? β
The mountain ghost sighed, "Girl, why don't you have a bright brain." I mean, someone pretended to be us and followed Lord Shen. β
Rao Di exclaimed, "Does he know? β
"Of course I do! He arranged it. So, girl, you can stay here with peace of mind, Lord Shen has a spectrum in his heart, a smart person like him will not die so easily. β
Hearing what the mountain ghost said, Rao Tu felt a little relieved, but immediately shook her head and said, "I'm only afraid of him...... Ask for your own death. β
"Girl, if you come, you will be safe, you are afraid to come and go, you are worried, but it is useless."
Rao sighed, "You're right. She picked up the sandalwood box and stroked the runes and hostas inside.
The rune stabbed him in the chest. The hosta is what he has been wearing, and now he takes off the hairpin, is it a sign of guilt?
She suddenly became very angry, grabbed the letter of resignation and crumbled it into a ball, and said indignantly: "What 'let you remarry, there will never be a dispute'? Shen Zhu, if you die, I will naturally remarry, not only will I remarry, but even the children will not follow your surname......"
