Chapter 8 Hengzhou Five Bad News
On a cold winter morning in Hengzhou, the entire ancient city was shrouded in a white wet mist. Nie Yunhai, the governor of Hengzhou, was teasing the starling he raised in the yard, and after teasing him a few times, he felt very bored and uninterested. Since returning to the mansion from King Gui's mansion last night, he hasn't slept well at night, and now his eyes are still bloodshot. He thought that as soon as he returned to the mansion last night, his daughter Zhiruo returned to the room without saying a word, while his wife whispered in his ear that the marriage between his daughter and this little prince might be variable. Think about what Mrs. said to Zhou Renyuan, saying that he was too young, this is not a shirk, what is it? Although he is a little younger, isn't he already sixteen or seventeen, and he is also an adult, if he really has Zhiruo in his heart, then he can marry three books and six rites first, and it is acceptable to marry his daughter two years later. Thinking of this, Nie Yunhai couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart, his daughter is also an official eunuch's family, how can there be a little unworthy of this kid who used to wander around behind my daughter all day long, I can be regarded as acquiescing, you will marry my family's baby girl in the future, I just don't care about face, let a girl who has not been out of the cabinet fool around with you all day long, okay! After going out and coming back, it seems to be a different person, I want to be Chen Shimei, I want to start a mess, and I don't have a way to give up! kicked the dog named "Ah Huang" who was lying on the ground, Ah Huang said "Wang" in pain, and quickly got up and ran away from Nie Yunhai. At this time, Nie Zhiruo dressed up and came to invite him to An An, and Nie Yunhai saw that she was holding a horse whip in her hand, "What?" You're going out early in the morning?" Nie Zhiruo bit her lip and replied in a low voice, "I'm going to find him!" You-" Nie Yunhai pointed at Nie Zhiruo angrily, and then sighed, "It's okay to ask him for clarification, you can go." Nie Yunhai waved his hand, looking at the back of Nie Zhiruo leaving, a little depressed and a little helpless, and Mrs. Nie shouted in the house: "What a sin—did our family owe them in our last life?"
Zhou Renyuan's mood fluctuated too much last night, he drank wine and suffered from the cold, and when he got up in the morning, he felt weak, and hurriedly told Cui'e to boil ginger syrup. At this time, Mozhu told him that Wang Fuzhi had come to the palace to report and was already waiting for him in the living room. Zhou Renyuan hurriedly sorted out his clothes and hurriedly came to the living room, "And the farmer's brother and younger brother are slightly ill, and he is far away, and he is still looking at Haihan!" The little prince said that he was seriously disturbed by his illness, but this is not the farmer's. Wang Fuzhi apologized again and again: "Alas-I don't want to be so polite between you and me, in this way, Brother Nong, wait a minute, ask Mozhu to accompany you to the palace Changshi, and you will be an official of the court after you are registered, but don't think that the official position of this master book is small!" Zhou Renyuan said with a smile. Wang Fuzhi hurriedly bowed: "Thank you, little prince, we are all fighting for our ideals, how can you care about the size of this official position, does the little prince think so?" What a little brother who fights for his ideals and is taught! Mo Zhu led Lord Wang to report to Lord Changshi, and Lord Changshi knew what to do. Zhou Renyuan commanded. Mo Zhu and Wang Fuzhi just walked away, only to see Cui'e hurriedly coming in with a bowl of steaming ginger syrup: "Ah, my little prince, you are sick, and you still come out to meet guests, beware of the wind and cold, drink this ginger water first!" Saying that, he scooped the ginger water with a spoon to feed him, Zhou Renyuan hurriedly stepped forward and took the whole bowl of ginger syrup, and said with a smile: "If you feed it like this, the effect will be gone, look at me!" Saying that, he picked up the bowl and drank it "Goo Dong", "Goo Dong" and drank it in one go, "It's so happy!" Zhou Renyuan wiped the ginger water left in his mouth with his hand, and felt a hot breath spread in his abdomen: "Hurry up, Cui'e, go prepare a hot water, wait in my room, I want to take a bath." Cui'e hurried to prepare hot water. Zhou Renyuan felt hot all over his body at this time, it seemed that the power of this ginger syrup began to appear, and after a while, he was sweating, and the clothes inside were wet. Back in the room, Cui'e had already prepared a bucket of hot water, he took off his clothes and pants, and he suddenly didn't get into the hot water, it was really comfortable, the cold had been forced out! At this time, I heard someone talking to Cui'e outside the door, "Who is Cui'e outside the door?" Zhou Renyuan asked, "Oh, it's Miss Cousin who is here, and she wants to see you." Cui'e replied. Oh - my cousin is here, please wait a moment. Zhou Renyuan hurriedly got up and wiped his body, and while changing clothes, he wondered in his heart, "What is she doing here?" What's so urgent so early in the morning?" When he got dressed, he shouted out the door, "Come in!" The door was pushed open, Nie Zhiruo and Cui'e entered the house, Cui'e was originally going to clean up the bath water, and when she saw Zhou Renyuan's hair was still wet, she picked up the comb and wanted to come over to help him comb his hair, but Nie Zhiruo took the comb from her hand and said, "Cui'e, you are busy, I will help him comb it." Cui'e looked at Zhou Renyuan, who was also stunned, and then nodded, signaling Cui'e to leave. Cui'e stuck out her tongue and hurriedly walked out and closed the door.
Nie Zhiruo picked up the comb, and her hand was a little trembling, holding Zhou Renyuan's head, gently combing his hair. Neither of them made a sound, Zhou Renyuan smelled the faint fragrance coming from Nie Zhiruo's body, and his heart was "plopping and plopping", to be honest, he was not disgusted with Nie Zhiruo, but he felt that he had not yet had another feeling for her, that is, love. A marriage without love is absolutely unacceptable from the perspective of his modern thinking! At this time, Nie Zhiruo looked at the young man in front of him, he had matured, grown up, and was no longer the little kid who followed him all day long, before the whole Hengzhou knew that the two of them would definitely be a couple in the future, but now he found that he might lose him. "Combed up," Nie Zhiruo put down the comb and whispered, "I-can we go out for a walk?" Okay, where do you go?" Zhou Renyuan stood up. "Go where we used to go so often!" Nie Zhiruo smiled, but this smile was a little lonely.
Outside the city, on the top of Heng Mountain, Zhou Renyuan and Nie Zhiruo stood side by side in the pavilion, looking at the scenery at the foot of the mountain, Nie Zhiruo's face was red in the cold wind, her shoulders were also a little trembling, Zhou Renyuan reluctantly took off his cloak and put it on Nie Zhiruo's body, Nie Zhiruo glanced at him affectionately. Zhou Renyuan turned his head and "coughed" and complained: "The wind on the top of this mountain is so strong, let's go down." Nie Zhiruo's face changed, and she stomped her feet and said, "No." "Good! Then we'll stay!" Zhou Renyuan had a headache. "You have really changed, as long as I am unhappy, you will accompany me to climb this Hengshan Mountain, saying that climbing the mountain can forget all unpleasant things, and will tell me a lot of stories to make me happy!" Nie Zhiruo said faintly. "Maybe we've all grown up!" Zhou Renyuan sighed, looked at the mountains in the distance, and replied softly. "Maybe." Nie Zhiruo smiled sadly, "Can you tell me another story?" Both of them knew in their hearts that maybe this was the last time they were alone like this, and Zhou Renyuan's heart was full of emotion, and it was the most difficult to accept the grace of the beauty. "In the past, a fairy named Zixia was going to find someone she really loved and pull out her sword-" Zhou Renyuan, a fan of "Journey to the West", came as soon as he opened his mouth. "What a poignant story," Nie Zhiruo asked, wiping away her tears, "In your heart, am I that Zixia Fairy or Bai Jingjing?" Zhou Renyuan was silent for a moment and shook his head, "I don't know—"
After Zhou Renyuan and Nie Zhiruo went down the mountain, Nie Zhiruo returned the cloak to Zhou Renyuan, she turned over and rode away, and then turned around and cried: "You are my eternal supreme treasure—" The valley echoed her mournful cry for a long time.
Zhou Renyuan returned to the palace, only to see the people in the palace in a mess, he grabbed a personal soldier and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" The soldiers told him softly: "Wang Niangniang's cousin is gone, and he said that he was an official and died in the battle with the thieves!" Now the mother is heartbroken and crying in the room, the prince and the prince are all comforting the mother. When Zhou Renyuan heard this, he hurriedly rushed over, he came to the door of the main room, only to see Mo Zhu also crying there, this little guy is also strange and sentimental, he is so sad? As soon as Mo Zhu saw Zhou Renyuan, he hugged him with a "howl": "Little Prince-Qiao'er-Miss Wanting." Zhou Renyuan suddenly felt his heart beat wildly, "Mozhu, don't scare me-" "Qiao'er-Miss Wanting-all is gone, woo-" Zhou Renyuan stepped back a few steps, his eyes were black, and his fingers pointed at Mozhu, "You-you said-" I felt a sweet throat, and a mouthful of blood spurted out of my mouth, and I fainted.
Zhou Renyuan has been dreaming about his girlfriend Meng Lan in the future, and said to him with a smile: "Does my makeup look good?" I dreamed again that Wang Wanting was saying hatefully, "I don't know any son surnamed Zhu!" and Nie Zhiruo's mournful shout, "You are my eternal supreme treasure-" The pictures flashed in his mind like a movie, and he tried to hug them, but one by one he pounced, "Don't go, don't leave me-ah-" Suddenly felt someone sobbing softly in his ear, becoming clearer and clearer. He slowly opened his eyes, and what caught his eyes was Ma sitting at the head of the bed with tears hanging down, crying softly, and Zhu Changying, Zhu Youying and the princess Liu Rusi standing on the side of the bed, full of worry, and even the eldest mother Wang came here, Cui'e and Mozhu were wiping tears on the side. "My son, you finally woke up, what do you want to have, how can you call your mother how to live?" Ma Shi saw Zhou Renyuan wake up and cried all of a sudden. "Mother and child have worried you!" Zhou Renyuan said movingly. "Si'er, it's good that you're awake! We already know the reason, Mozhu has told us, Miss Wang is a good girl, you have to take care of your body! Hey—it's fate!" Zhu Changying stomped his feet and led Wang's Zhu Youying and Liu Rusi out. "Mother, you also go to rest, I-I want to be alone, quietly Mozhu and leave the rest of the people out." Zhou Renyuan said hoarsely. Ma Shi nodded: "Okay-don't be too upset, Mozhu, you take good care of the little prince." Mo Zhu choked and nodded.
Only Zhou Renyuan and Mozhu were left in the room: "Mozhu, what do you say, how did it happen?" Zhou Renyuan asked. Mo Zhu wiped his tears and said: "Just now, you were not in the palace, and during this time, you came to a palace newspaper of the imperial court, which commended Qingyuan County, and Lord Wang Xie Zhi resisted Zhang Xianzhong twenty days ago. Didn't we say that Miss Wanting was the daughter of the county magistrate in Qingyuan County, so - so - woo. Zhou Renyuan closed his eyes, his lips trembled, and he was silent, "Twenty days ago, that is, three days after he left Qingyuan, why why is it all his own fault, if he could bring them to Hengzhou at that time, such a thing would not have happened, but unfortunately there is no what if-" In the next few days, Zhou Renyuan kept himself locked in his room, he was constantly blaming himself, constantly confused and hesitating, and Nie Zhiruo, who heard the news, stood by the window and said stupidly: "You are kind to her, she is affectionate to you, she is your Zixia Fairy-" After speaking, his body was weak and he fell ill.
On the fifth day after Zhou Renyuan vomited blood and fell ill, a eunuch and two guards came to the hall of King Gui's mansion, and the eunuch read out the holy decree loudly: "Zhu Youlang, the fourth son of Zhu Changying, King of Xuangui, immediately entered Beijing to donate two pieces of silver, and the eunuch Gao Qiqian was responsible for escorting Qin ——!."
