Chapter 169: Chilled Watermelon (Part II)
Cui Shi struggled hard, his face was full of horror, his hands were tied to his back, his mouth was blocked and he couldn't speak, he struggled to make a whimpering sound, and kept looking at the east chamber with tears in his eyes.
Lati held Cui's and Han Chuan entered the east chamber to see that Bai Dalang was asleep, his cheeks were sunken, but his expression was very stable.
Medicine is boiling beside the bed, the flames in the small red stove are jumping high, and the medicinal soup is burning vigorously.
Han Chuan was sullen.
So Cui's is afraid that the medicine will be boiled dry, and Bai Dalang will be in danger?
Han Chuan took a pot of cold water to extinguish the stove, and then looked at Bai Dalang, who had not moved his body all year round, and although his arms were loose, he had not shrunk...
Don't say anything else.
Cui's is dedicated to Bai Dalang.
Han Chuan shook his head slightly.
Man, it's strange, why aren't there people who are always bad or always good?
Hu Wenhe has a gentle temperament and is willing to help, but he reveals a bit of disrespect in his bones; Grandpa Bai has the right idea and strong craftsmanship, but he is still selfish when he treats Bai Dalang; Mama Zhong has a strong temperament and has never bent her waist, but she is willing to bear the oppression and bullying of her sister...
On the way to send Cui's to the Xiangshan Nunnery, the carriage was bumpy, and Han Chuan sat quietly in the carriage.
Everyone is like that, some on the good side and some on the bad side.
That... What about the Zhang family in the dream?
In her opinion, the Zhang family in the dream has never been amiable, and has always been cold and detached, whether it is to her or to Xu. Xu Yi is really not enthusiastic about Zhang, but Zhang has never spoken to Xu Yan gently? Han Chuan seriously and carefully recalled, from the day of Zhang's entry, although he seriously handled the affairs of the family and took care of all things at home, he would always be alienated, alienated from the palace, alienated from the people in the palace, until the saint died, and the vassal kings went out of Beijing to lead the domain, and the main courtyard of the Zhang family never used the old people of the palace - the people who were used in the main courtyard were either the henchmen brought by the Zhang family from his mother's house, or the servants who were purchased by the Zhang family after the opening of the mansion, the people from the former palace and the people who went out of the Qianqiu Palace? Zhang's has always been cold, right? No minus...
All people are not a piece of paper, and the front of the piece of paper is what it looks like? What about the opposite? And in her one-sided and narrow understanding, there is only one side of Zhang's? That's bad - kill Xu Yi, teach Brother An'er badly, kill her...
But all actions should be done for a reason.
Zhang hates her... Is it because of love? Was Zhang's assassination of Xu Yi also because of love?
Han Chuan frowned slightly, she tried to think about it but couldn't find evidence of Zhang's love for Xu? Xu Yi is a very upright person? was respectful to his wife at the beginning, and he was willing to give Zhang's dignity in front of outsiders, but what about Zhang?
Han Chuan remembers that in spring, Xu Yi is often surprised by catkins and strong floral fragrance? Got a rash and itchy all over your body? There were no willow trees planted in the house, and even seasonal flowers were rarely put out, and Xu's study, warm pavilion, and inner room were often smoked with cold and fresh pine and cedar incense, and the servants and maids who were close to him were not allowed to wear sachets.
Han Chuan likes flowers very much, because Xu Yi? She also stopped thinking about raising flowers in the inner room.
Zhang's set aside a small plot of land in the main courtyard and divided it into three categories, one type of new seedlings? A group of transplanted flowers and plants, and the last small piece was planted with a pear tree moved from my mother's house...
Zhang's crossing is in the spring.
Just passed the door? Zhang's family dressed up the courtyard with flowers, and the old lady in the house reminded Zhang's carefully? On the second day, there were more than a dozen peony trees in full bloom in the main courtyard...
Is someone in love with another person? There are traces.
Can Han Chuan be in the little bit of Zhang's treatment of Xu? I can't find any shadow of love.
Xu still has respect and respect for the main room, but Zhang's only has... Avoidance and distancing.
Wait a minute.
Yes, evade!
Han Chuan narrowed his eyes.
If the Zhang family doesn't love Xu Yi, then why do they want to kill Xu Yi because of love and hatred?
If the Zhang family doesn't love Xu at all, then... All subsequent speculations do not hold water. Since you don't love it, why do you care about Xu Yi's favor for others? Why should you be jealous of Xu Yi's kindness to others? Isn't it good to be a princess with a noble status and is sought after freely? Why kill Xu Yi and let yourself become a widow and work hard to support the huge palace!?
This... It doesn't make sense!
The carriage went all the way, Han Chuan thought all the way, and when the abbot who handed over Cui's to the nunnery returned to the restaurant, and after the evening business ended, Han Chuan lay on the bed and closed his eyes, and suddenly remembered two questions-
If Xu Yi's death was not because of Zhang's jealousy and love, then because of what?
And also
Xu Yi's death, is it really Zhang's hand?
These two questions lingered in Han Chuan's heart, and when Sixi was able to walk on the ground, and Grandpa Bai's spirit returned to eating slightly filling food, he still didn't get an answer.
If you can't think of a problem, don't think about it.
The days passed quickly, and when Grandpa Bai could move, he was clamoring to go back to the Iron Lion Alley, and the old man swore that he was ashamed of not leaving the apprentice's house, "... There is no such reason in the world, which master lives in an apprentice's house!? I don't have a home, or I don't have a hand!? ”
Han Chuan thought that Cui's was sent to a nunnery, and Bai Dalang at home really had no one to take care of him, well... These are all superficial reasons.
The deeper reason is, of course... Han Chuan can't resist Grandpa Bai.
An old man with a lame leg still has medicine on his back and a medicinal soup in his mouth, and he can also go home with a cane alive.
Han Chuan didn't know what to say.
even felt that even if she didn't save Grandpa Bai at that time, with Grandpa Bai's capable and energetic energy, the underground Lord Hades might not dare to accept him.
Old and young, there is no way.
Han Huahua three taels of silver asked Huang Ergua to find a forty-year-old honest and honest mother-in-law, and put him in the Bai family as a servant.
Grandpa Bai saw that he was a charming mother-in-law, and he was so frightened that he almost lost his crutches.
The old man roared, "What's this called! The gossip of neighbors can drown our Bai family! Three old men, plus an old widow with a dead husband - you think the Bai family is in the alley, so you can raise your head, right? ”
The word "you" is out, and it is not far off to destroy the already hairy violence on the top of the head.
Han Chuan hurriedly let him change, and changed to a middle-aged man who was strong and had worked as a partner in the Good Medicine Hall to go to the Bai family.
Grandpa Bai just stopped.
Han Chuan had palpitations, and on the first day of Grandpa Bai's return, Han Chuan handed over the stove house to Lati, and took a watermelon that was only bigger than Lati's head to visit the Iron Lion Hutong early.
Seeing that the middle-aged man surnamed Yao took the watermelon neatly, "clicked" a few times and cut the watermelon peel, cut the red juicy watermelon into bite-sized squares, and poured the cool and icy yogurt.
