Chapter 36: Dismantling the carriage with bare hands
"Oh......" Xu Sa reached out and wiped the corners of his mouth with a vague answer in his mind.
Suddenly, her eyes widened: "Hmm......"
"How could I be in your arms?"
When he jumped away from him and hit the top of his head, Xu Sa rubbed the painful place and hurriedly asked him.
Fu Rushen looked at her calmly: "I also want to ask you this sentence." β
ββ¦β¦β
couldn't recall who fell asleep first, Xu Sa struggled for a while, and finally had to write: "I'm sorry, I offended you." β
"It's just a small thing, and there is no need to apologize." Master Fu said lightly.
Alas, how do you feel like you're a little bit at a loss? Xu Sa scratched his head, but he still couldn't remember, so he retracted into the corner of the carriage and began to sit quietly, occasionally lifting the side curtain to look twice.
The carriage traveled overnight and finally arrived at the port of Hanzhou early the next morning. Further on, there is no longer a need for the owner of Fu Zhuang to accompany him, and after the dart master is delivered, Fu Rushen turned the horse's head and led people back to the inner city of Hanzhou.
I was just passing by before, and I didn't look closely, but this time I stopped in the inner city of Hanzhou, and Xu Sa found that Hanzhou City was quite big.
"On this repair day, tomorrow morning we will take a shortcut and go directly back to Longye, and there will be no beautiful scenery on the road."
After saying this to her, Master Fu raised his feet and entered the inn in front of him. Xu Sa looked around and found that Longxing Villa was also wealthy, and the guest houses were all in the best one on the most prosperous street.
Thinking about it this way, Longxing Villa and Xichun Marquis Mansion are quite compatible, and they stink...... Ahem, no, interests, like-mindedness.
clearly didn't say anything, and at the moment when Master Fu turned his head to look at her, Xu Sa still silently changed the words in his heart.
"There are only four people, so arrange for your guards to live with Hengyuan, and take a rest." After Fu Rushen finished speaking, he turned around and asked for two adjacent first-class rooms.
Xu Sa naturally had no objections. Obediently waited for Fu Rushen to finish his work, and walked with him to the guest room on the second floor...... She found that some things were really born and cooked again, and she suddenly looked away from this kind of thing of living together.
Anyway, Master Fu's heart is like a needle under the sea, can't she guess it? She is the best at soldiers to block the water and cover the earth, the big deal is a broken jar!
Master Fu Zhuang pushed open the door, turned around and saw Xu Sa's determined appearance, and frowned: "I won't touch you, you don't have to treat death like this." β
Xu Sa blinked and nodded, "Oh." β
He didn't notice she was awake last night? That's good. Xu Sa breathed a sigh of relief quietly.
Since he came into contact with Xu Sa, he has always sat upright, and he has begun to open his eyes and talk nonsense...... Master Fu Zhuang was a little depressed, but he also breathed a sigh of relief silently.
The two of them entered the guest room with their own concerns, and the first thing Xu Sa looked at was the bed: in the inner city, the inn in Hanzhou is much more spacious, and the bed is also big, which makes people feel down-to-earth.
Putting down the burden of sundries, Fu Ru glanced at her deeply, and saw her eyes shining against the bed, and her eyebrows jumped.
"Do you want to go for a walk?" He took the initiative to ask, "You didn't bring a salute when you came, so you have to change your clothes." β
"Huh? Well! Xu Sa reacted, sniffed his body, and agreed.
Although it doesn't taste good, but the person is a big owner, what if someone picks it?
Thinking silently, Xu Sa didn't sit down to rest, and went out of the inn with Master Fu and went straight to the ready-to-wear store on the street.
"I believe it now, and your foundation is not bad." Walking and walking, the owner of Fu Zhuang suddenly said.
Xu Sa was slightly stunned, and realized that what Master Fu Zhuang said should be that she could still come out and walk after sitting in a carriage for nearly a day, so he grabbed his hand and replied: "After all, I didn't grow up pampered." β
"Xichunhou is not good to you?"
ββ¦β¦ I had always acted as if he didn't exist. β
After reading this, Fu Rushen moved his gaze from the palm of his hand to Xu Sa's face, "But you will have a lot of things." β
"There won't be much, how can you be used by him?" Xu Sa's answer is easy.
It's a pity that even if these contents are true, judging from the framework constructed by deception, her answer can only be said to be ambiguous.
Even so, Xu Sa felt that she still didn't want to deceive Fu Rushen any more.
At the very least, she hoped that one day when the lie might be exposed, he would hate himself a little less.
Because they were walking on the street, after Xu Sa finished answering, there was silence between the two for a long time. Later, in the ready-to-wear store, Xu Sa picked out an ordinary dress for himself, glanced at it casually, and fixed it on a smoke-blue caftan on the wall.
On weekdays, most of the clothes of the owner of Fu Zhuang are mainly dark colors, often dark colors with all kinds of calm and low-key patterns, at most a coat is put on the outside, and even sometimes the coat is black, which makes people very old and solemn.
Although it fits the image of a big farmer very well, it ...... Xu Sa raised his index finger and tapped his lips, pointing to the smoke-blue coat: "Ah, ah." β
Fu Ru furrowed his brows: "Do you still want to wear men's clothes?" That one might be bigger. β
No, Xu Sa shook his head, dragged the guy in the store over, and pointed to the clothes: "Ah! β
"Take it down for her." Fu Rushen explained later.
When the clothes were in hand, Xu Sazhen first gestured twice on himself, and then raised the corners of his mouth in Fu Rushen's dissatisfied gaze, and gestured again in front of him.
"Hmm...... Well! β
Nodding in the affirmative, she gave a thumbs up.
Fu Rushen analyzed: "Do you want me to wear it?" β
"Hmm!"
"The color is a little flirtatious." The owner of Fu Zhuang expressed disgust.
Xu Sa shook his head and took his hand: "You don't have to be frivolous." β
ββ¦β¦β
didn't give him time to refuse, Xu Sa turned his head and went to check out.
She had some silver with her, and it was more than enough to buy a dress, and she even finished her own by the way.
Without turning back, he could sense the unpleasant aura emanating from the owner of Fu Zhuang, Xu Sa put on a smiling face and explained: "I have been taken care of by you for so long, and I want to give you something." This dress is just for you. β
"If you want to send me something, why don't you send the previous note?" Master Fu asked coldly.
Xu Sa: "......"
"Hey, hey, hey." She chose to turn around and gestured for the man to help her put away her clothes.
It's impossible to send the note, Yun Xiangyi designed to frame her, and she didn't allow her to blackmail to make some compensation? At most, she can only feel a little grateful to the cousins after getting the title deed of the Xu family's old mansion.
That's the most!
Coming out of the ready-to-wear store, the two of them walked around several more prosperous streets and alleys in Hanzhou City by the way. When you are tired, find a teahouse to rest, rest and take a walk along the way, Xu Sa also bought a few daughters' gadgets to hold, Fu Zhuang asked, she replied: "It was bought for Xinyu as a souvenir!" β
Fu Rushen was a little incredulous, looked at the little burden in her arms and asked, "Do you want to give so much to Xinyu?" β
"We've been together for ten years!" Xu Sa hugged the burden with difficulty, and stretched out a finger back to him, "Deep feelings!" What's wrong with buying more? β
"Depend on each other for life......" After repeating softly, Fu Rushen looked at Xu Sa carefully for a while, but did not see any sadness on her face.
Instead, there is only incomprehension of his gaze.
Lowering her eyes, Fu Rushen took the small burden from her arms: "I'll come." β
"Huh?"
"Xu Sa."
One person went straight forward, one person hurriedly followed, just as he was looking left and right, he heard someone calling his name in a low voice, Xu Sa was still attracted by the juggling on the side of the road, and absent-mindedly "Huh?" "Yes.
But someone grabbed his arm.
A street full of people.
Fu Rushen stared at her, there was an abyss in her eyes, and in the abyss was her confused appearance when she turned around.
With a slight movement in his throat, he said, "I want you to regain your speech...... I'm afraid. β
There was a slight weirdness in his heart, and Xu Sa was even more confused.
ββ¦β¦ That's it. With a sigh, Fu Rushen said, "Let's go, go back and rest." β
Hanzhou can't compare to Longye, this is already the last street, and you can go back to the previous inn.
Thanks to the owner of Fu Zhuang, Xu Sa was in a fugue state all the way back, but he was wondering, did he hear his words just now, did he reflect that it was too bland?
Fu Rushen is really, saying that kind of thing to a dumb person, putting aside the weakness in his heart, he is probably going to cry out aggrieved, right?
Alas, it's better to think she's strong inside......
It's so tiring to pretend to be dumb all the time.
That night, the two of them were lying on a spacious bed, and the owner of Fu Zhuang did not move again. Xu Sa was still on guard at first, but then he couldn't support it and fell asleep...... When I woke up the next morning, Master Fu was no longer in bed.
"Is he a chicken or a dog?" Pouting and muttering, Xu Sa yawned and got out of bed, deliberately looked at the injury on his shoulder, and found that the back and forth had almost healed after all, so he pushed the door out with satisfaction.
"Does the master want to wash his face?" Gu Yuankun asked outside her door.
Frightened to take a step back, Xu Sa opened his mouth, and after brewing for a long time, he turned the corner.
"Ahh
"Then I'll go fetch water."
After going through his head twice, "This is an apprentice honoring the master", Xu Sa rubbed his face and found that the door of the next room was locked.
Suddenly a little uneasy in her heart, while Gu Yuankun went to fetch water, Xu Sa quietly moved to the stairs, holding on to the handrail and going down layer by layer, while bending down to poke her head, and finally found that Fu Rushen was sitting below drinking tea, and her heart was suddenly steady, she turned around and "pedaled" back to the room.
I didn't notice that when she went back, Master Fu also raised her eyes to look at the place where she had stayed.
"Hengyuan." Fu Rushen took a sip of tea and asked the guards beside him, "Do you have any friends you don't trust in particular?" β
Hengyuan was asked: "My subordinates are stupid, I don't know, what is a friend who is particularly distrustful?" β
"It's just that he hides a lot of things from you. Maybe it's a lie. β
ββ¦β¦ Can you still be friends? β
"But he may not be a bad person, and everything he does and says is for a reason."
"This," Hengyuan scratched his head and said distressedly, "It seems that his subordinates don't have this kind of friend...... Even if there is such a person, then he will definitely hide it from me, right? No one likes to show their bad side to others. β
"If you didn't know, would you trust him? The premise is that he not only didn't hurt you, but also helped you. β
"The question seems to be a bit difficult, my subordinates haven't experienced it, so it's not easy to answer." Hengyuan looked embarrassed: "What is the master asking for?" β
ββ¦β¦ Just ask. β
Putting down the teacup and supporting his forehead with his fingers instead, Fu Rushen didn't say more.
didn't dare to make people wait too long, after the water came, Xu Sa quickly wiped his face and changed into the skirt he bought yesterday, picked up his burden and ran downstairs.
Hearing her footsteps early in the morning, Fu Rushen got up and said, "Walk so fast, aren't you afraid of falling?" β
"Hmph." Ignoring the other party's attitude, Xu Sa tilted his neck to look at him, hooked the corners of his mouth and raised his thumb.
The others present didn't understand what she meant, but Master Fu did.
His face instantly became hot, and he coughed lightly: "Let's go." β
Walking in the wind, with smoke and blue clothes fluttering. Xu Sa looked at his back and paused for a long time, finally opened a big satisfied smile, and followed briskly.
According to the owner of Fu Zhuang, even if you take a shortcut when you go back, you will have to reach Longhang Villa on the third watch of the next day.
Rolling around the carriage for days on end would not be much better, even if it was better than walking. Sitting straight in the carriage until his back and legs hurt, Xu Sa didn't say anything, his expression was already clearly written with the word "regret", no matter how he tossed, he felt that his hands and feet couldn't stretch out, and he didn't dare to move too much.
Master Fu finally couldn't stand it, raised his eyes and asked, "It's boring?" β
"Ah," Xu Sa just moved his shoulders, and his whole body shrank up when he heard this, and wrote in his hand obediently, "It's quite boring, I knew I should take two drama books on the road." β
Fu Ru swept her eyes, pursed her lips and said, "You can remember it next time." β
"Oh." replied casually, not caring what the other party said, Xu Sa nodded and continued to shrink quietly.
The trail was rough, and as soon as it reached a gentle section, it began to bump people upside down. Xu Sa could still endure it with her eyes closed at first, but in the back, she even had the heart to smash the car, and she was stuck against the wall of the car, constantly relieved, as if she was enduring not having a death with the carriage.
Master Fu couldn't help laughing, reached out and grabbed her right arm, and gently pulled Xu Sa into a half-squatting position in the middle of the carriage.
"You squat here for a while."
Xu Sa looked inexplicable, watching Master Fu lean forward, miss her body, squatting on one knee against the car door, and holding the place where she had sat before with both hands.
Frowning, Master Fu Zhuang bent down, looked down at the ground of the seat, and then groped with both hands for a long time, and suddenly exerted force!
There was a strange "click" sound in the carriage, and Hengyuan outside hurriedly asked, "Master, what's going on?" β
"It's fine." After Master Fu finished speaking, he turned around and went to unload the place where he had sit.
Xu Sa was stunned and looked at Fu Rushen who was busy for a while, and all the seats on both sides of the carriage were removed by him, leaning aside, and the carriage was instantly much more spacious.
"Now that you can stretch out, do you want to lie down?" Master Fu asked.
Xu Sa nodded with a smile.
There's no place to sit...... Can she squat back without lying down?
thought that Fu Rushen was going to lie down together, but he didn't expect that he just sat in the corner of the carriage, leaned back against the two seat boards that he had removed, and patted his palm on his outstretched thigh.
"Reluctantly shrink your legs, you can lie down." He said.
Xu Sa understood what he meant, and hesitated a little, but still did as he said, went over to lie down, and pillowed his head on the thigh of Master Fu.
"Sleep." Fu Zhuang said.
Xu Sa pillowed carefully, for fear of encountering something strange. But the more I think about it, the hotter my face becomes...... Rolling her eyes uneasily, she sat up again, side by side with Master Fu, and stretched her legs towards the car door.
"What? Can't sleep? Master Fu asked.
Xu Sa turned his face in a direction he couldn't see, and quietly rolled his eyes.
Isn't this nonsense? It's not dark yet, and she's not a pig!
"Then I'll talk to you." Seeing that she didn't answer, Master Fu continued.
Xu Sa turned his face back at this time.
Master Fu's palm was already on his thigh.
Although it is troublesome to write...... But it's boring to stay like this all the time. Xu Sa puffed out his cheeks, raised his hand and wrote: "Counting today, there are still nine days." β
With his eyes narrowing slightly, Master Fu asked, "Have you been counting the days?" β
"Hmm!" Xu Sa generously admitted it, and asked him, "You don't remember?" β
"With you here, do you still need me to remember?" Asked her rhetorically, Master Fu's expression was a little displeased.
I can't think of it, and I don't dare to think about what he's angry about. Xu Sa bit her lip, and looked at Fu Rushen's eyebrows, suddenly feeling a little stuffy in her heart, and the heaviness made her feel a little sad.
How could she be upset?
Quickly dissipating the thoughts that shouldn't be there, Xu Sa smiled and chatted with him about other things.
Since it was the owner of Fu Zhuang who personally agreed to talk to her, she was not polite: "If you are also bored, can you tell me about the things in Longxing Villa?" β
"Those things?" Master Fu raised his eyebrows, "Isn't it all written in the memorabilia?" β
"It's different, it's written too concisely, how can anyone say it's interesting?" Xu Sa tilted his neck and wrote, "It's boring anyway, why don't you just talk about Longxing Villa?" β
Master Fu Zhuang was unmoved: "I don't know how to tell stories." β
"I didn't ask you to talk about it!" Xu Sa insisted, "You just talk about it, and say whatever you want, such as how Longhang Villa was established, and the relationship between you and the second and third owners...... Oh, I'm tired of writing, so I'm tired of you moving your mouth. β
After writing a long paragraph, Xu Sa leaned his head against the wall of the car. There is also a soft blanket on the wall of the car, so you won't have a headache when you lean on it.
Looking at Xu Sa's relaxed and casual appearance now, and not afraid of his "lion", Master Fu's eyes moved slightly, and he finally opened his mouth lightly.
"Longhang Villa was built when I was eleven years old, but I don't know exactly why it was built, I think it has something to do with it."
"Things?" With a move in his heart, Xu Sa put on a curious expression.
"Hmm."
Without thinking much about it, Fu Rushen replied truthfully: "In the second year of the Holy Lord's succession, there was a major incident in Chudi. You probably know, right? In the second year of the national calendar, the Marquis of Eastern Chu deliberately rebelled and was arrested by someone who was pointed to evidence, and in the following years, Eastern Chu was in chaos. β
"It can be said that the turmoil was the annihilation of the people of Eastern Chu, and hundreds of people suffered greatly, including my own sister...... Her childhood sweetheart's fiancΓ© died in the turmoil. β
"You have a sister?" Xu Sa was surprised.
Fu Rushen bowed: "Yes, but she went out with Xiao Jiang to check the accounts." My family affair was too sudden, and it took less than two months to prepare, and it was not what I wanted, so I didn't tell my eldest sister and Xiao Jiang about it. However, our brother and sister relationship is not bad, she is my only surviving relative in this world. β
What about Yun Xiangyi?
Xu Sa wanted to ask.
But after thinking about it, Yun Xiangyi should be his lover......
Flattening his mouth, Xu Sa wrote: "You can continue to speak." β
Although she didn't talk a little badly and didn't hear what she wanted to hear, it was always good to know a little more about Dongchu's past.
Master Fu nodded, he really just thought of where to go. But he didn't consume much saliva on the owner of Jiang Erzhuang, and he still frowned and counted down Han Sanzhuang: "Han Ye's father and mother are all people who abide by their duties, and they are deviant and love to mess with flowers outside...... Although it didn't cause anything, it was a headache. β
"I see that the third owner is young and vigorous, right? Although it is frivolous, it doesn't look like it will mess around. Xu Sa expressed his opinion, "For example, when he received the letter, he seemed to be in a hurry, and he didn't rush out calmly." β
Master Fu snorted: "He doesn't dare to be impulsive." β
"Don't dare?"
"The last impulsive owner of Longxing Mountain Villa died a miserable death." Fu Ru said coldly.
"Huh?" The corners of Xu Sa's mouth twitched, "Who?" β
"My dad."
ββ¦β¦β
I can't imagine how Master Fu calmly completed this conversation...... After looking at him quietly, Xu Sa let out a low "oh" and turned his head to the other side.
She suddenly remembered that when Guining came back before, Fu Rushen seemed to be quite reluctant to enter the ancestral hall.
Could it be that there is some contradiction between him and his dead father?
Two of the owners of the previous generation of Longxing Mountain Villa have died, and only the third uncle remains...... It seems that she can only ask Sister Ruyi to help inquire about whether the completion of Longxing Villa has anything to do with the destruction of the Xu family.
Although she suspected that Longxing Villa was not very good, she was sorry for the people around her, but there was no way, she had received too few clues over the years.
Even if there is a little rumor related to the events of the year at the moment, she wants to explore it. She is the only one left in the Xu family, seeing that her family is dead in vain, and she has been degraded by the people of Chu for many years...... She is not reconciled!
"Xu Sa."
Hearing that he was called, Xu Sa took a deep breath and turned his face to Fu Rushen with a faint smile: "Huh? β
Master Fu pursed his lips: "Are you still listening?" β
With his eyes rolling, Xu Sa pursed his lips and wrote, "Can't you tell your story?" β
"Me?" Fu Rushen seemed to recall something, and chuckled lightly in his eyes, "I don't have anything to talk about." You won't like to hear it either. β
"How so?" Xu Sa made a reverie with great interest, "If it's those dry account contents, I may not be interested, but if you tell the story of you and Miss Yun, I'm happy to listen to it!" β
Master Fu Zhuang said in a deep voice: "Yes." β
"yes!" Xu Sa grinned.
Frowning, Master Fu said with a cold face: "But I don't like to talk about it." β
Although Xu Sa was not in the mood to listen to it, she was still puzzled by Master Fu's reaction. It stands to reason that men like to dance with their eyebrows to tell how they hugged the beauty, and the owner of Fu Dazhuang is too stingy, right? Do you like to keep things hidden and treasure yourself?
I don't understand, I don't understand!
Xu Sa shook his head, not daring to provoke others again, and then shrunk down and lay in the carriage with his arms on his pillow.
The carriage was quiet for a long time, and gradually there was a small and steady sound of breathing. Fu Rushen squinted at Xu Sa's undulating shoulders, sighed, and picked out a light coat from the burden to cover her.
After a pause, he raised his hand again and gently tucked her sideburns behind her ear.
After a long time, the carriage stopped leisurely, and Hengyuan lifted the curtain: "Master, get to ......"
"Shh
It was dark outside, and the white moonlight reflected on the face of the owner of Fu Zhuang, which actually reflected his always solemn face a little softer.
Carefully carrying out the people in the carriage, Master Fu glanced at Hengyuan, then looked at Gu Yuankun, and said in a low voice: "Be quiet, Mrs. is asleep." β
"Cousin!" Yun Xiangyi, who ran out of the door, happened to see this scene, and when he heard this, he was stunned.
After a pause, she forced a smile: "You're back...... Aren't you hurt? Why do you have to hold your cousin in person? β
As soon as Fu Rushen was about to speak, he felt the body in his arms stiffen.
He frowned as if he was conscious, and he wanted to speak again, but it was too late.
Gu Yuankun crossed Hengyuan, stood in front of him, looked at him indifferently and said, "Xu Sa is my master, Master Fu Zhuang should hand her over to me." β
