Chapter 86: The Death of the Major General (Part 2, Chapter 40)

He Shengnan came out of Dali Temple, the injuries on his body were not yet healed, and it was inconvenient to walk. Dali Temple also knew that it was wrong, and found a sedan chair to carry her back to her residence.

The day before, Yang Mubai sent people from the palace to pack up the house, her luggage and dowry, and Father He also asked his subordinates to move to her new house.

The terrain here is remote, in the dead of night, and a girl lives in it, which is still strange. Yang Mubai never came, she wanted to invite a palace person to come over to take care of He Shengnan, but she refused.

He Shengnan said at the time: "Queen Mother, I haven't been used to being taken care of since I was a child, it's not that young lady's life, and I don't want others to disturb my tranquility, so please don't send someone over." I can handle it alone. ”

Yang Mubai said: "You are injured now, you have to recuperate, and it is not convenient to live. ”

He Shengnan said: "Queen Mother, you look down on me, this injury is nothing, it's just inconvenient to move." I've been used to living alone since I was a child, and it's no problem to take care of myself, and after a month or two, I'll be able to go to the palace when my injuries heal. If you don't feel at ease, you can send someone the next day, and I'll take care of myself. ”

Hearing her say this, Yang Mubai didn't insist anymore. Let the palace people clean up the house, buy some ingredients, cook for her for two days' meals, and when she wants to eat, just warm it herself.

He Shengnan pushed open the door and saw that the yard was clean and clean, and there were a few pots of flowers. Seeing this now makes him feel very warm.

There was only one room in the house, and there was a door next to the hall. Although the house is relatively small, it is more than enough for one person, and there is a walking stick in the hall.

The things that were moved over were also neatly put away, and in the room, all her clothes were neatly placed in the cupboard.

She came to the kitchen and saw a few plates of cooked food on the table, it was winter, and the meals were cold, but He Shengnan felt warm in his heart when he looked at it. There were still some uncooked ingredients on the edge of the kitchen, all neatly arranged, and a few piles of dry firewood were placed next to the stove to facilitate her cooking on the stove. There are also two frames of charcoal fire next to it, a brazier, which can be baked at night to keep warm.

Since she was a child, except for her mother who died early, no one has been so good to her, so careful, and completely considered for her. It's a pity that the two best people in the world have left her, leaving her alone, living alone.

She slowly walked to the baking table, lit a fire, heated half of the meal, and then smiled and said to herself: "Mother, if it's a pity, the queen mother, did you send me to accompany me because you couldn't bear my loneliness?" But with such an identity, how can she accompany me for the rest of her life? ”

She heats up the meal, cooks the charcoal fire, and eats it on the table.

In the past, she often ate by herself, and the happiest thing was that she could eat with her. That feeling of happiness will never come back. As she ate, tears flowed down, drop by drop, slowly dripping into the rice bowl, she didn't care, she ate with tears, and the rice was salty.

As if she had no sense of taste, she gulped it down, and when she had finished eating, she said, "Why are the meals so bitter?" ”

At this moment, the door opened, and a man walked in, in a solid black linen robe, with a long sword in his hand. He sat next to He Shengnan and tried to wipe the tears from her face with a handkerchief, He Shengnan said: "Men and women are not close. ”

The man didn't care, continued to wipe her tears, and said, "Among those young generals, there was one who was drunk on horseback tonight, and accidentally fell off his horse, and not long after he returned, the medicine stone was ineffective, and he died. ”

He Shengnan didn't have any expression, she said, "I'll go and see it tomorrow." ”

The man continued, "The other ......"

He Shengnan said: "This year's burial and the first seventh, Lord He didn't let me get close, I couldn't guard in front of her grave, next year's sacrifice day, I will definitely guard her." Two years later, I will return home from the palace, build a house next to her grave, repay the queen's kindness, and will always accompany her in the future. ”

The man said unhappily, "Do you need to be in the palace for that long?" ”

He Shengnan said: "After I enter the palace, if I will come back to accompany her every year on the day of death, will you wait for me?" ”

The man's cold face finally had a helpless smile, and he said softly: "How many years have I been waiting for you, do you remember?" ”

He Shengnan said: "Thank you. Kang Yujin. ”

The man who called Kang Yujin paused his hand and said, "When did you feel like saying thank you." ”

He Shengnan said: "You have helped me a lot, and when I leave the palace, I will listen to you." ”

Kang Yujin said: "Then you can listen to me and not enter the palace?" I can help you get it all done. ”

He Shengnan shook his head and said, "If you repay your kindness, since I have promised the queen mother, I naturally have to keep my promise." ”

Kang Yujin said: "Are you trying to deliberately delay time? If it's really that difficult, I won't force you. ”

He Shengnan said with a smile: "Come over a little and get closer to me." ”

Kang Yujin did as she said. He Shengnan stretched out his hands, clasped his neck, then kissed him on the lips and said, "Are you still suspicious?" ”

Kang Yujin held her face and deepened the kiss. He could never guess her thoughts, but he was attracted by her unyielding personality and, of course, her appearance was very delicate. By her side, he always couldn't help but want to get closer to her and want to get her. Even aside from his appearance, he was still eaten to death by her.

This kiss was very hot, both of them were about to get out of control, and when Kang Yujin's hand was about to go down, He Shengnan said: "It's not time yet, I'm ready to rest, and the injuries on my body need to be recuperated." ”

Kang Yujin left her, his face was flushed, and he was already emotional. After calming down, he said, "Then I'll go first, you have to be careful." Send me a signal if something happens. ”

He Shengnan said: "I know. ”

Kang Yujin asked again: "You promised Sun Liang before, saying that if he takes pity, you will be his woman, is it true?" If you don't die, do you really want to be his woman? ”

He Shengnan smiled and said, "What do you think? Would I do something like this? It's just a delaying tactic, do you still believe it? ”

Kang Yujin said unhappily: "I knew you wouldn't, I'll go first!" ”

He went to the gate of the courtyard and saw that the door was open. When he came, he was closed. It seems that she has been used again. Thinking of this, he slammed the door shut.

Qiu Yue stood by the tobacco viewing platform, and now that the tobacco show had not started, she didn't really want to deal with Zhang Shuo, so the two of them just stood.

Zhang Shuo was not idle, he moved next to Qiu Yue, Qiu Yue glared at him, and he took another step back. After repeating this several times, Qiu Yue couldn't stand it anymore and said: "Zhang Shuo, are you boring or not, keep moving to me, am I here a treasure of feng shui?" Or is there a treasure hidden here. ”

Zhang Shuo said with a smile: "Qiuyue, you are my treasure, where you are, where is my feng shui treasure." ”

Qiu Yue was extremely speechless about his oily tone, and Zhang Shuo was not like this before! It's just insensitive.

Qiu Yue said: "Don't you feel disgusted when you say these things every day? Last time, the queen disliked you and Xu Lang......"

At that, she blushed. Zhang Shuo continued her words and said: "The queen mother said that I am very close to you, and she feels uncomfortable, but she just doesn't let us make love in front of her......"

Qiu Yue hurriedly scolded: "Don't say it. ”

Zhang Shuo smiled and said, "Okay, I'll shut up and stop talking"

After a while, an old man came to the middle of the tobacco show and said loudly: "Today's store is open, and fireworks are set off here to celebrate, please watch." The old man sells spices from Persia, and all kinds of spices are available, and they can be given away for their own use. You can also go to the old store to see, it doesn't matter if you buy it or not, go to the personal field, thank you. ”

Zhang Shuo took Qiu Yue's hand and said, "Let's go, let's go closer and watch." ”

Qiu Yue looked at him like an idiot and said, "What does it matter if you watch the fireworks a little closer and farther away?" ”

Zhang Shuo grabbed her hand and said, "When they finish, we will release our own fireworks." ”

After the old man finished speaking, he picked up the incense that had been lit on the fire and went to light the lead. In an instant, the fireworks flew straight into the air, reaching a place several feet high, and scattered in all directions, blooming in the air with several copper coin patterns.

The crowd looked at it and said, "Good, so beautiful!" ”

The old man said: "Thousands of cars and thousands of households; A line runs through Kyushu. ”

Then he went to light a fuse, and a moment later, the fireworks were in the air, forming a big wild goose.

The old man said, "The great exhibition is great; Yuye has Fu. ”

Then went to light a fuse, and a moment later, fireworks were in the air, forming an eight-horse horse.

The old man said, "This is the collection of department stores; Abundance. ”

The old man lit several large fireworks, each with some auspicious words.

The onlookers burst into cheers and applause. Qiu Yue was also infected, clapping her hands and saying, "It's so beautiful! ”

Zhang Shuo glanced at the fireworks, and then stared at Qiu Yue again. It's been a long time since I've seen her so happy, and his heart is happy. He thought: In the future, I will make you as happy every day as you are now.

After the fireworks were over, Qiu Yue said with a little loss: "This firework is certainly beautiful, but it is too short-lived. Does it tell the world that things that are too beautiful are fleeting? ”

Zhang Shuo didn't expect Qiu Yue to think like this, and hurriedly said: "So we must seize the happiness in front of us, cherish the beauty that can be obtained, and don't let ourselves leave regrets." Qiuyue, do you think I'm right? ”

Qiu Yue glanced at him and said, "So, you just hold my hand tightly?" ”

Zhang Shuo said seriously: "You are the most worthy wait and happiness in my life, you can catch me and I will never let go." If the world is as beautiful as fireworks, I can light fireworks for you for the rest of my life, so that you will always have happiness. ”

Qiu Yue broke away from his hand and said, "Master Zhang is really a big celebrity around the emperor, with countless money. Do you know how much it costs to set off fireworks every day? With so much money, it is better to give it to Yifang. ”

Zhang Shuo: "......"

After thinking for a while, Zhang Shuo said: "Qiuyue is really like the queen's mother, caring for the people. In the future, I should take you as an example, and you will be my light. ”

Qiu Yue said: "I'm just telling the truth, these flashy things, it's good to look at them occasionally, and you don't necessarily have to put them yourself." Others put it, and you can earn it by seeing it yourself. How stupid it is to let others see it yourself! ”

Zhang Shuo: "......"

Qiu Yue then asked, "Didn't you say that we can also set off fireworks?" Where to put it? ”

Zhang Shuo said in surprise: "Next to the table, I'll go get it." ”

Then excitedly go and take out the two bundles of fireworks that have been prepared. It's a little smaller, Zhang Shuo said: "I know you don't like to waste, so I bought a smaller one, and the fireworks are also a little smaller." ”

Qiu Yue sneered and said, "You don't have any money, right?" Poverty is still so high-sounding, and you Zhang Shuo is the only one. ”

Zhang Shuo said with a smile: "Didn't I put all my money there before?" You gave it back to me, but it didn't move. These are the months of Yulu, Qiuyue, I didn't spend money indiscriminately. ”

Qiu Yue said: "You don't spend money indiscriminately, what's my business?" Then, as if remembering something, he said, "Then you and Akso often go out to play, go out to eat and drink, don't you have to spend money?" ”

Zhang Shuo knew that he had to say this carefully, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. He said slowly: "I haven't gone out a few times, she has come to me, and she invited me to eat and drink." ”

Qiu Yue said even more disdainfully: "Zhang Shuo, I really can't see it!" You are a man, you always go out to let the little girl of the family treat you, you are embarrassed, your skin is really not ordinarily thick. ”

Zhang Shuo said aggrievedly: "Every time I was pulled out by her, she paid before the meal, and I was not willing to go." ”

Qiu Yue said: "Not only are you thick-skinned, but you are also shameless!" Eat and drink for nothing, and say that he is unwilling. Miss Axol's money is really wasted, so it's better to send Hanako. ”

Zhang Shuo said: "It's really not my voluntary choice, she pulls me there every time." Big deal next time I'll invite her. ”

Qiu Yue glared at him and said, "Do you dare to have a next time?" ”

Zhang Shuo said: "We have already said that we will be just friends in the future." She doesn't have any friends in the imperial capital, and the next time she comes to buy goods, she will come to visit me. ”

Qiu Yue just wanted to have a seizure, but now she is not Zhang Shuo's person, and said lightly: "That's your business, it has nothing to do with me, you don't have to tell me." ”

Zhang Shuo set up the fireworks and said, "Qiuyue, you can take some leads!" Don't talk about Akso, I really don't have anything to do with her, you have to trust me. I love no one but you. ”

Qiu Yue took the incense he handed over and said, "You just said that you were a friend again, and now you say that it has nothing to do with it." Men are fickle. I know she's your confidante. With that, she lit the fuse, and the fireworks exploded in the air. It's two big characters, Autumn Moon.

Zhang Shuo said proudly: "Do you like it? It's your name, I went to the fireworks shop to customize it, I hope you are happy. ”

It's false to say that he is not moved, Zhang Shuoken spent so much effort to please her, which shows that he still has her in his heart. But now that the two of them are in trouble all over the city, she still doesn't want to be with Zhang Shuo.

Seeing that her happy smile just now immediately dimmed, Zhang Shuo asked, "Qiuyue, what's wrong with you?" ”

Qiu Yue put down the incense and said, "It's nothing, let's go back!" ”

Zhang Shuo said: "There is still a bundle of fireworks that have not been released!" ”

Qiu Yue said: "You can put it yourself, I don't want to put it anymore." ”

Zhang Shuo picked up the fireworks and said, "Then next time we release them, I'll take them back first." ”

Qiu Yue looked at Zhang Shuo seriously and said, "Zhang Shuo, what do you mean now?" ”

Zhang Shuo said with a smile: "They all know it!" I'm pursuing you, I love you, I want to marry you. My heart, the moment I met you, was already captured by you. I love your heart and will never change. ”

Qiu Yue shook her head and said, "Zhang Shuo, we are not suitable. ”

Zhang Shuo nervously asked, "Why is it not suitable?" Do you still love Yang Cheng? ”

Qiu Yue replied, "It's not because of Yang Cheng? ”

Zhang Shuo was even more puzzled and asked, "What's the reason for that?" Qiuyue, you are not a twisted girl, please tell me why you rejected me. If I don't do well, I'll definitely change. You let me guess slowly, I can't guess your mind. ”

Qiu Yue said: "Our marriage is full of storms in the city, and they all say that I dumped you, water-based poplar." If I stay with you again, you will definitely be criticized by others, and I don't want you to be the wreck in other people's mouths. ”

Zhang Shuo asked angrily: "So for so long I thought that it was because of this reason that you refused to tell me that you were not with Yang Cheng?" And because of this, you want to give up on me? ”

Qiu Yue said: "Mainly because of this, and because you hurt Yang Cheng, I haven't forgiven you in my heart." ”

Zhang Shuo grabbed his hand and asked expectantly, "Regarding Yang Cheng's matter, have you forgiven me now?" ”

Qiu Yue said: "Yang Cheng has forgiven you, I will slowly forgive you!" ”

Yang Cheng asked cautiously again, "Then you...... Do you still love me? ”

Qiu Yue didn't speak.

Yang Cheng asked again, "Qiuyue, do you still love me?" ”

Akizuki replied, "I don't know. ”

Zhang Shuo wanted to say something, but there was panic in the crowd. A horse runs around in the downtown area, and passers-by avoid it. On the horse was a teenager who seemed to be unable to control the horse. When they reached the moat, the horse threw up his head and roared, and jumped into the river. Before the boy could jump off the river, he was thrown off and fell to a pillar by the river, where he fell badly. There was blood all over his head and body.

Zhang Shuo and Qiu Yue glanced at each other and immediately ran to the place where the incident occurred. They recognized the young man as one of the five major generals He Shengnan sued last time.

They looked around the crowd and found no suspicious people, only the people who were pointing and pointing, and there was nothing unusual about them.

Zhang Shuo helped him up and asked, "Are you okay?" What happened? The boy was delirious and unable to speak. After a while, a few servants came over from the crowd and cried, "Young Master, what's wrong with you?" Don't scare me. ”

Zhang Shuo said, "Where is your house?" I sent him back. The servant hurriedly led the way, and Zhang Shuo and Qiu Yue sent the young man home.

The people in the house invited the husband, and after the husband took the pulse, he shook his head and said to the head of the family and his wife: "I'm sorry, the old man can't do anything. ”

Zhang Shuo went to see the young man, mainly because his head was thrown on the stone pillar, and the injury was relatively serious, and he could not stop the bleeding.

The boy has been in a coma, and after about half a column of incense, the boy convulsed all over his body and vomited some foreign objects from his mouth. People are not awake and cannot ask anything.

After another pillar of incense, the boy lost his breath, and his body slowly softened, and he died.

The family all cried and grabbed the ground. Zhang Shuo saw a pregnant woman, who should be his wife, and she was also crying so much that she was about to die

She cried and said, "Husband, why did you leave me and the child like this, you haven't named him yet, how will you let our mother live in the future?" ”

The parents also cried so much that they kept patting the bed and said, "My poor son, why do you let us send white-haired people to black-haired people?" God, what the hell have I done wrong to punish us like this. ”

Seeing them like this, Zhang Shuo and Qiu Yue said a word of condolences and left.

When they arrived at the place of the incident, someone from the yamen had already come to deal with it, and the horse was also led. The horse fluttered in the water, and then the servants of the yamen scooped it up with nets.

Zhang Shuo said to Qiu Yue: "How is this not like an accident, how could a horse jump into the river?" ”

Qiu Yue said: "He Shengnan came back from Dali Temple today, let's go see her!" ”

They came to He Shengnan's residence. Walking over the wall and going inside, He Shengnan embroidered while baking a fire in the hall, and lit a candle next to him.

She embroidered very carefully, and the embroidery was very fine, and she did not find anything unusual.

Zhang Shuo and Qiu Yue glanced at each other, then retreated outside the wall and knocked on the door.

He Shengnan asked, "Who?" ”

Qiu Yue said: "Miss He, I am Qiu Yue, entrusted by the queen mother, to see what you need." ”

He Shengnan walked slowly and limply to the courtyard to open the door with a cane.

Seeing them, He Shengnan said with a smile: "Miss Qiuyue, thank you for coming, and thank you for your compassion to the queen for helping me." I don't lack anything, the queen mother is kind and considerate, and everything is ready. ”

When he saw Zhang Shuo, he said, "Lord Zhang is also here, please come inside." ”

When she came to the hall, He Shengnan went to the table to get a teacup, and there was a small shelf on her roasting fire, and a teapot was warming the tea on it. She poured two cups of hot tea and said embarrassedly: "I'm really sorry, I'm all coarse tea and light rice, and the tea leaves are all last-class, please don't dislike the two adults." ”

Zhang Shuo drank tea and said, "Miss He is serious, how can you dislike it, this tea tastes good, it is quite to my liking." ”

Qiuyue asked, "Miss He, are you all okay?" Did you hear any wind? ”

He Shengnan said with a smile: "Miss Qiuyue, don't scare me, my courage is not very big." I'm the only one living in this house, and if you want to talk about scary things, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep at night. ”

Zhang Shuo said: "Tonight, the five major generals you sued, some of them died? ”

He Shengnan asked with a shocked face, "Who died?" How did he die? ”

Zhang Shuo said: "It is said that he fell to his death while riding a horse drunk. ”

He Shengnan was stunned, as if digesting the news. After a while, he asked, "Is this true?" ”

Qiu Yue said: "Yes, we were playing next to it and saw it with our own eyes. ”

He Shengnan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and asked, "Two adults, do you think this is a pity that the ghost has come back to ask for his life?" ”

Akizuki asked, "Do you want them to die?" ”
