Chapter 233: Identifying the Body
"But didn't you ever have an agreement with my father? Within two years, not only will I be an official of the imperial court, but my official rank will surpass my father. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Let's not say that you are still a talented person, for my father, I know the roots. Two years...... He didn't dare to use Lingrou's lifelong happiness to make any gentleman's covenant, before he was still a county magistrate in Bapin, he was willing to give in, but now he finally got his wish and sat in the county, I'm afraid the agreement will only be a dead letter, as long as he meets the person he thinks is suitable, he will marry his little sister to him. ”
Hearing this, Yu Shaobai nodded slightly, Wu Chun made a two-year gentleman's covenant with him, he was like a mirror in his heart, women in the early Ming Dynasty were all out of the cabinet at the age of fourteen or fifteen, if it really had to wait until two years later, Lingrou had become an "old girl", as the respect of a county, how could Wu Chun already raise his head.
"You can rest assured, it is difficult to get a reputation these days, but it is easy to be an official. In less than half a year, I'll convince your dad of me. ”
"Then I'm relieved. By the way, your second brother's body has been found, and you must know it. ”
Yu Shaobai nodded. "My second brother has been missing for a few days, but I didn't expect this body to be found by the government, which is surprising." The implication of his words is that the efficiency of the government was not good before.
Wu Zichu naturally heard what he meant, and said: "Their errand servants are used to being lazy, but the efficiency of investigating cases and finding people is criticized. However, this time is different from the past, I have personally explained to Wang Zhutou, and I must find Yu Wei as soon as possible. Naturally, they didn't dare to ignore my words, so they kept looking for them all night, and they really found your second brother's body. ”
Hearing this, Yu Shaobai suddenly realized that there was a relationship with Wu Zichu, and he arched his hand. "It seems that I have to thank you this time, the eldest prince of the county order!"
"You're too much of an outsider when you say that, what's the relationship between the two of us? What is polite to my uncle? ”
As soon as Yu Shaobai wanted to answer the conversation, he saw a child walk in outside the door, "Zichu, your mother called you home for dinner." ”
Hearing this, Wu Zichu turned his head to look behind him, and said helplessly: "Didn't my mother let you come?"
"Childe, Madame has something to look for you, let you go back."
"What's the matter? I'm not free right now, I'll be back later. ”
The boy said with a look of embarrassment on his face: "I'm afraid this won't work, Madame said, no matter what you are doing, you have to rush back to the big thing."
Yu Shaobai was a little curious when he heard this, "What's wrong?" For what did your wife send you for? ”
"Back to Yu Gongzi's words, it seems to be a blind date."
"What? Blind date? Yu Shaobai and Wu Zichu said in unison.
"Stinky boy, you tell me clearly, what kind of blind date?" Wu Zichu didn't react for a while.
"Back to Gongzi's words, just now Mrs. Zhao Sangu from the east of the city was invited to the house, and that Sangu is a famous matchmaker in our area. Madame intends to solve this important life event for your son. ”
Wu Zichu was stunned when he heard this, and then he was angry. "Didn't I say that? Now I don't want to start a family, why does my mother still have to tell me about matchmaking without my permission. ”
"Zichu, your age is indeed not small in this year. Your mother is also thinking about life's events. It turned out that you said that if you were not Lou Yueru, you would not marry, but now you say that she and you have no fate. Then you really have to think about how to choose, getting married is a lifelong thing, it is a blessing to find someone you like for a lifetime, and it is also a blessing to find someone who likes you for a lifetime. ”
Is it also a blessing to find someone who likes you for a lifetime? When Wu Zichu heard this, he sighed slightly, Lou Yueru's beautiful face appeared in his mind, he still remembered that he confessed his heart to her that day, but she told herself that she already had a heart. And that person didn't even expect that he would be his future brother-in-law. In his opinion, these two people can't fight at all, how can they fall in love with Shaobai. Maybe she was trying to reject him, so she casually found someone to take the pot, Wu Zichu was so comforting to herself at that time, but later Lou Yueru took out a painting, which was painted by her own hand. Hanging in her room all the time, Wu Zichu slipped into her courtyard wall at night, and often saw her in a daze at the figure of the portrait, and could only see it dimly, not really, he had always been very curious about who the person in the painting was. But when Lou Yueru put the portrait in front of his eyes, he was stunned, the person on the portrait was actually his future brother-in-law, Yu Shaobai. This time, he really couldn't deceive himself anymore, the person Lou Yueru liked was really Shaobai. He is so perfect, why did Yueru choose him, this is what Wu Zichu has been bothering about, except for his brother-in-law's appearance is better, taller, and his literary style is better, there is nothing else good. However, Wu Zichu can also be regarded as a person who can take it and let it go, since Yueru already has a heart, he doesn't plan to bother him anymore. But...... Shaobai has his sister and Yan Ruyu as his companion, and now Yueru also likes him, which makes him extremely depressed, so why do all good things happen to Shaobai.
On the side, Yu Shaobai saw Wu Zichu in a daze, stretched out his hand and waved his hand in front of him, "Hey, Zichu, aren't you stupid?" ”
Wu Zichu's thoughts were pulled back by the voice in his ears. "That...... You go back and tell my mother, the blind date will be discussed in the future, I am not in the mood to see Zhao Sangu now. ”
"Childe, Madame said that if you don't go back, you will cut off your monthly money, and you will give away the pair of jade lion heads."
Hearing that his monthly money was cut off, Wu Zichu didn't care. But hearing that he was going to give away the jade lion head, Wu Zichu couldn't continue to be calm. He hurriedly said, "My mother really said that she was going to give away the jade lion head?"
"Yes, it was Madame herself."
Wu Zichu said to Yu Shaobai when he heard this: "Brother-in-law, my eldest brother will go back first, and if you don't leave, my baby will be gone." With that, he ran out in a hurry.
Seeing this, Yu Shaobai shook his head helplessly, he naturally knew that Wu Zichu loved the pair of jade lion heads the most, but he didn't expect it to be so important in his heart, and he was not even afraid of a blind date for it.
"Wu Gongzi is gone?" Yan Ruyu walked out of the kitchen, she had just finished the meal, and Yu Shaobai was going to leave him for dinner.
"The man is gone."
"I just went to see my mother, and she still hasn't woken up."
Yu Shaobai raised his eyes and looked at the main house, the pain of losing his son was difficult to remove. "Wait a minute, didn't Dr. Deng say that he will wake up tomorrow morning at the latest. Little Five, they should be hungry too, let's eat. ”
……
In the early morning of the second day, Yu Shaobai fell asleep on the edge of Yu's mother's bed, heard a strange sound, he woke up from his sleep, and when he saw Yu's mother open her eyes, he hurriedly said: "Mother, you woke up, how do you feel about your body?"
Yu Shaobai slapped Yu's mother hard, and his tone was a little aggrieved: "Mother, what are you doing beating me?"
"Qing'er...... How long are you going to hide it from your mother! ”
Seeing Yu Mu's red and swollen eyes, her eyes were full of tears, and her expression was full of sadness, Yu Shaobai understood why she was angry. "Mother, don't be angry, be careful of getting angry. It's not that I deliberately concealed the tragedy of the Sun family, but I'm afraid that you will be too sad. Your body is already weak, where can you withstand such a blow. ”
"Your second brother is dead, you have concealed such a big thing until now, if you hadn't learned from the Wu family's maid today, you would still be kept in the dark by you! You ~ unfilial! After saying this, Yu's mother was so excited that she spit out blood, and her face suddenly turned pale.
Yu Shaobai hurriedly knelt on the ground and said: "Mother, you dissipate your anger, all the mistakes are your son's fault, I can't stand you, you can beat me and scold me, take care of your body and bones."
Seeing Yu Shaobai kneeling in front of her, Yu's mother sighed in her heart, she didn't know that Qing'er was hiding it from her for her own sake. It's just that the pain of losing a child made her lose her mind a little, and now that she has calmed down, she regrets it a little.
"Qing'er, did my mother hurt you just now? Let my mother take a look. ”
Hearing this, Yu Shaobai breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "My son has rough skin and thick meat, it doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt at all."
"Get up, don't kneel, it's cold on the ground. You help your mother up...... I heard that Li'er said that your second brother's body has been found by the government, let's leave quickly...... You accompany your mother to pick up your second brother and let him settle down. ”
"Mother, your body is so weak now, don't get up, just let your son go, I'll take my second brother home."
Yu's mother waved her hand, raised her eyes and looked out the window, as if recalling the past picture, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, but tears flowed out. "Your second brother has been very clever since he was a child, and he was going to study in a private school at that time, but his mother had no money at the time, so she didn't follow his wishes. Since then, he has been hanging out with the ruffians all day long, and he has become unrecognizable. The reason why he has been disrespectful to his mother in the past few years is actually because his mother was sorry for him and didn't let him study in a private school, but let Qing'er you go to a private school, and he couldn't get angry, so he hated me...... Alas, Wei'er, my mother can't stand you, you help my mother up, I must take Wei'er home. ”
Yu Shaobai saw that her expression was a little sad and angry, if he stopped her again, I was afraid that he would really make her angry, and then he would not have to slap him with a big mouth.
"Mother...... I'll help you up. ”
"Mother, why are you up?" At this time, Ruyu walked in, and Yu Shaobai said to her: "You go and ask Zhan Xing to drive the donkey cart and stop at the door."
"Okay, I'll go."
Soon Zhan Xing came to the donkey cart, and Yu Shaobai carried Yu's mother out of the house and entered the donkey cart.
"Childe, where are we going?" Zhan Xing asked.
"Go to the Yamen."
Syllable~
Zhan Xing immediately rushed in the direction of the yamen.
Soon the donkey cart came to the yamen, and Yu Shaobai carried Yu's mother on his back and came to the morgue under the guidance of Menzi.
"Yu Gongzi~" The old man walked into the courtyard and arched his hand towards Yu Shaobai.
"Old man, where is my second brother's body now?"
"Everyone, please come with the old man." The old man opened the curtain and entered a room, pointing to a mat on the floor, and under the mat was covered with a corpse. (To be continued.) )
