Chapter 147: Guilty
As Xiao Zhan expected, Zhu Liangxin only learned the news of Mr. Fu's appearance early in the morning of the second day. What made her almost faint was that her good brother was so reckless that he killed the person and didn't kill him yet.
Zhu Liangxin was sitting in the warm Jichang Palace at the moment, but his body was chilled for a while. She stared at the palace man kneeling in front of her suspiciously, and asked expressionlessly, "Before the Great Commander asked you to come over to deliver the letter, the person hadn't caught it yet. ”
"Yes." The palace man replied very calmly, and under Zhu Liangxin's fierce gaze, he didn't see any fear.
Zhu Liangxin pursed his lips and waved his hand irritably, letting the palace people retreat. Not long after the man left, Zhu Liangxin couldn't help but wave the tea set in his hand to the ground. In an instant, the bowl was torn apart, and shards flew everywhere. Hot tea splashed on her skirt, and she didn't even notice it.
Mama Kong looked at the carpet soaked with tea, like blood that had congealed into black brown.
"Mother, don't be angry." The matter has come to this point, and Mama Kong also knows that it is useless to talk more.
Zhu Liangxin was so angry that he trembled all over, and he couldn't calm down for a long time, and his body that used to sit straight was like a dangerous building, which became precarious when the storm came. After a long silence, Zhu Liangxin suddenly spoke: "How is the saint's body recently. ”
"It's still like that. Recently, the saint has been resting in the palace of the nobles, and even the imperial doctor went directly to the nobles to ask for a pulse. Mama Kong said as she carefully observed Zhu Liangxin's expression.
If it was usual, Zhu Liangxin's face would have become gloomy when she heard the news, but now she is very calm. It's as calm as if you're talking about someone else's husband.
"Good. This matter, no matter what, can't leak the rumors. Mama Kong, I'm going to trouble you this time......" Zhu Liangxin turned sideways and looked at Mama Kong, his eyes were very complicated, "If you don't want to go." Hongu can think again. ”
Mama Kong shook her head slightly, still smiling on her face, "The slave is willing." ”
“…… There is labor. Zhu Liangxin didn't say anything anymore, and slowly sat up straight again with his body tilted into the chair.
……
Liuli took Ah Yin back to the Yunlai Inn, and the two sisters and brothers didn't say anything along the way. It wasn't until the two of them entered the room that Ruri spoke.
"Do you know how long you've been looking for you up and down the Tsutenkaku?" Liuli squinted at Ah Yin, only to feel that he hadn't seen him for a while, and the child was a lot taller.
As she expected, Ah Yin just lowered her head and was silent. Whenever he knew that he had done something wrong, he would use such an attitude towards the master and the pavilion master. Liuli couldn't cry or laugh, and she never dreamed that one day Ah Yin would treat herself with such an attitude.
She wanted to laugh, but she could only continue to keep her face strained, "Fortunately, you finally have a little conscience and know to reveal your location to us." Otherwise...... The entire Tongtian Pavilion is going to be turned upside down by you alone. ”
Hearing this, Ah Yin finally looked up at her. Liuli was a little surprised, and he didn't know which words he said touched him. After a while, I saw Ah Yin slowly speak: "My sister, how is it." ”
Ruri gave him an angry look, "She's so good." With Song Wenyu doting on her, why are you in a hurry? Why don't you ask about your stepfather? ”
Ah Yin stared at Liuli expressionlessly for a while, and finally lowered his head. It's not that he doesn't care, he just doesn't dare to ask. Liuli sighed, and his tone softened a little, "The pavilion master has been out for several days, and he hasn't sent a message back. However, we don't have to worry too much about him, as he often does in his old age. Now that we have found you, the top priority should be to send a letter to Tongtian Pavilion to tell the master. ”
"Yes." Ah Yin nodded, "Senior sister, when I came in just now, I seemed to see ......."
"Well, that's him. Don't bother. Liuli said this lightly. As soon as he finished speaking, he knocked on the door and came in. Liuli looked up and saw that he had a difficult face, so she followed him out of the room, "What's wrong?" ”
"Someone from the government suddenly came to check whether the documents of our inn are complete, and two days ago, there were people from the government yamen who came to check whether the back kitchen of our inn was clean and hygienic......" Chujian put his hands in his sleeves and frowned.
He didn't pay attention to these trivial matters. What bothered him was when Lotten had become so difficult. He was a little worried about Senior Sister.
Liuli listened to his words, sneered and said, "You let people talk to Admiral Luo, who has been guarding downstairs, and say that I am waiting for him in the private room." You first take Ah Yin to the back and settle down, and then send someone to bring Luo Teng up. ”
"Yes." Chu Jian hurriedly responded, so he went into the room and asked Ah Yin to rest in another room.
Ah Yin listened to his words, didn't rush to stand up, just raised his eyes and stared at Chu Jian and said, "Senior sister plans to go to Hui Luo Teng alone?" ”
"This is a matter between Senior Sister and Admiral Lo. It's not appropriate for others to interfere. Hatsumi said euphemistically. I was still a little apprehensive in my heart, for fear that Ah Yin would not agree with his statement. If he appeared in front of Luo Teng with the broken silver, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"In that case, take me to rest." What he didn't expect was that Ah Yin was surprisingly calm this time. I looked at him with some surprise at first sight, I don't know when it started, this young master who doesn't eat fireworks in the world actually knows a little bit about human feelings.
Chushi's mood was a little complicated, and he didn't know whether such a change was good or bad. While he was pondering, Ah Yin had already stood up, and seeing that he was not moving, he asked softly, "Senior brother for the first time, please lead the way." ”
"Okay, okay." When he first saw him, he quickly nodded and left the room with Ah Yin.
Ruri stood in the hallway for a while, and when the servants had changed the food in the room and re-lit the incense, she went inside and sat down. When Luo Teng pushed the door in, she was still in a trance.
It seems that at this moment, she is still in Yuehua Tower, and nothing has changed.
Luo Teng sat down across from him, both staring at the small pot of tea simmering on the clay stove in a daze.
"Luo Dalang Jun stays here every day, is it for official business or private affairs?"
Liuli smelled the aroma of the tea soup and slowly spread around, so she picked up the long-handled wooden spoon on the side, scooped a bowl of tea soup, and pushed it in front of Luo Teng.
Luo Teng's eyes followed her movements closely, until he vaguely saw his reflection in the bowl of tea, and then he came back to his senses. Luo Teng lowered his head and stared at the tea bowl, but his mind was blank.
Yes, what is the purpose of being stubbornly waiting here for so many days? Is it just to see her again?
Luo Teng was frightened by this thought, and he clenched his hands and tensed his body, a little angry.
After Liuli finished dividing the tea soup, she sat aside and waited patiently for his answer. But after a cup of tea, Luo Teng neither drank tea nor made a sound. Liuli sighed, feeling a little empty in her heart, "The tea soup is cold, I'll change another bowl for you." ”
So saying, she reached out to take the tea bowl.
"No need," Liuli's hands were born very well. The ten fingers are slender and white as jade. Now these jade hands rested on the obsidian porcelain bowl, and they were even more weak and boneless. Luo Teng's eyes darkened, "I didn't come here to drink tea. ”
His cold words didn't make Ruri feel embarrassed. I saw her smile and withdraw her hand politely and decently, "In this way, Luo Dalangjun is here for official business." Dare to ask, why did you come here on business? ”
"People inside and outside this inn, I'm afraid they are all involved in Tongtian Pavilion. Isn't that enough for the official to come and investigate? ”
Luo Teng said as he stared at Liuli with a cold face, as if he wanted to see some clues from her. But this woman, as usual, continued to talk and laugh with him, so that people could not find the slightest mistake.
Liuli's red lips curled, and he didn't care about the bowl of cold tea soup, "Then what did Admiral Luo find out?" ”
"So, do you admit that this inn has something to do with Tsutenkaku?"
Liuli smiled and turned her head to look out the window, "Luo Da Langjun is what he says." Luo Dalangjun, you continue to sit here, the concubine still has some things to deal with, so she will leave first. ”
With that, Liuli stood up and saluted Luo Teng, and was about to go out. Luo Teng didn't think much about it, and reached out and grabbed Liuli's arm, "Where are you going?" ”
"Go where I'm supposed to be. Since I stay here for a day, you will bother this place for a day, and then I will have to leave. Although Liuli was still laughing when she said this, she was very aggrieved in her heart. She raised her head and looked at Luo Teng, the more she wanted to behave calmly, the more her heart hurt, "I know, there is no room for me here." ”
Luo Teng listened to her words, and only felt as if he had been exposed. On top of that, there's the trepidation, "You're leaving?" ”
"Or else? The concubine didn't want to cause trouble to Mrs. Song. "Liuli is telling the truth, she doesn't want Ah Jin to be implicated in the matter of Tongtian Pavilion anymore.
Luo Teng was stunned when he heard this, and when he came back to his senses, Liuli had already broken free of his hand and walked to the door. He looked back just in time to see her open the door.
Ruri didn't rush out, but stood by the door and looked back at him, looking at him with four eyes. Suddenly, she smiled brightly and walked out of the room without looking back.
……
Shen Molin brought the life-saving medicinal materials to the Song Mansion, put down the medicinal materials and left, and did not say anything about the money, which made Song Gefei appreciate him even more. After all, the matter of silver money can be counted later. The top priority should be to feed the old lady medicine as soon as possible.
The Song Mansion was once again in a hurry, Song Wenyu and Ah Jin were guarding the old lady's courtyard together, and the two sat side by side, looking at the full moon in the sky. Song Wenyu knew that Ah Jin was afraid of the cold, so he took off his cloak and put it on Ah Jin, and said while tying the belt: "After a while, all the people in it will be removed, so let's go into the house to warm up." ”
Ah Jin knew that he was afraid of being lively, even if it was his own family, he would mercilessly refuse the lively scenes of a room full of people. Ah Jin wrinkled his nose, which was a little red from the cold, and the whole person shrunk in his wide and warm coat, nodded and said, "I can be wherever you want, I will accompany you." ”
Listening to Ah Jin's words, the corners of Song Wenyu's lips curved, and he reached out and hugged her in his arms. Ah Jin lay on his chest, and heard him sigh heavily, "Ah Jin, when these things are over, I will accompany you back to Jiangnan." We can go to Unruly Mountain first, and then go back to Shenfu. Good no good. "Lazy people listen to books
Hearing this, Ah Jin reached out and hugged his waist tightly, and nodded vigorously, but his mouth was still unforgiving, "Where did you get so much Mu Vacation." ”
"There will be then." Song Wenyu said it meaningfully. Just a few days before Shen Molin came back from Baicao Town, Xiao Zhan had already informed Song Wenyu of the news that Yuehualou had obtained the account books.
Song Wenyu knew in his heart that this account book and the roster of the Huainan flood were enough to push the Zhu family into the abyss. It's just that the more times like this, the more cautious and cautious we must be, step by step.
Song Wenyu hugged Ah Jin tighter, and when he looked up at the full moon again, his heart still tingled. Meng Yidi's appearance crossed in front of his eyes without warning, Song Wenyu frowned, and felt a little strange in his heart, but he couldn't tell what that feeling was.
He lowered his eyes, rested his chin on the top of Ah Jin's head, and rubbed it gently, only to feel very sure.
……
The days have passed in a flash, and many things have happened in the past half month. For example, the eldest Langjun of the Luo family suddenly started the prodigal life of singing every night, so that the powerful people who have daughters in the royal capital and want to be in the boudoir go around Luofu, and no one wants their daughter to marry such a gentleman. For another example, Meng Luo, the eldest young lady of the Meng Mansion, gave birth, and the eldest lady of the Meng Mansion was so happy that he couldn't stop laughing for several days.
For another example, the Meng sisters are both pregnant with the prince's blood and bones, which makes others not envious. There have been too many happy events in Mengfu in the past half month, and the threshold is about to be broken by the people who congratulate them. On the other hand, the Song Mansion is much more low-key, even if it has been ten days since the old lady Song woke up, there are not too many people who come to visit. Everyone came over to say a few polite words, put down the gifts and left.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is a rush to go to Mengfu to say goodbye. Ah Jin helped Song Yu count the gifts, and then put them into the library one by one, and when everything was done, it was already time for lunch.
As soon as I returned to the room, I saw that Song Wenyu had already changed into her regular clothes and was sitting on the edge of the table waiting for her to eat. Seeing her enter the door, he put down the book in his hand, "The guests have all been sent away?" ”
"Well, they were all busy rushing to the field over there, so they didn't sit down and say a few more words," Speaking of this, Ah Jin bit his chopsticks and smiled, "Xiaomeng's family also came, they sat for a long time, and they wanted to see the old lady." However, Wang Langzhong had told the old lady that she still needed to be well supported in the past few days, and she could not see guests, so she gave up. ”
"I heard that Shen Dalangjun is also here. Unfortunately, when I came, he was already gone. Song Wenyu took the chopsticks and put some vegetables in Ah Jin's bowl, and then changed his private chopsticks and continued to eat.
"He had come to inquire about the old lady's condition. The medicine was brought back by him, and he naturally had to pay attention to what happened to the old lady after taking it. When it comes to Shen Molin, Ah Jin unconsciously thinks of Ah Yin. She was in a trance for a moment, and immediately came back to her senses, "He is walking fast, I am afraid that I will be delayed here for a long time, and I am afraid that the people of the Song Mansion will think too much, so I will not stay long." ”
"Speaking of which. Last time, my father asked me to figure out how much money the Shen family spent on buying medicine", Song Wenyu said this, and raised his head to stare at Ah Jin seriously, "You can't be sloppy with me in this matter." As much money as there is, there is as much money as there is. ”
Ah Jin bent his eyebrows and smiled, "Listen to what you said?" Can't we sell you a personal price? ”
Song Wenyu lowered his head and ignored her, and continued to eat his own food. Ah Jin sneered and said, "I know, we will do it." ”
With her promise, Song Wenyu raised his head and looked at her again and said, "You tell me the truth first, how much did you share this time?" ”
"Actually, Shen Dalangjun didn't get to the bottom of me, so I guessed it...... Probably not more than 600 gold. ”
Ah Jin pondered it and reported a number that was not too exaggerated. I saw Song Wenyu frown slightly, and lowered his head again. Ah Jin pursed his lips, feeling that not saying anything at this time was the best policy, so Song Wenyu was secretly distressed.
After dinner, the maid in the old lady's yard suddenly came over and asked Song Wenyu to come over. Song Wenyu listened to this message, and thought that he had heard it wrong, so he confirmed it again, and it was still the same answer. He glanced back at Ah Jin with some embarrassment, but saw that Ah Jin was drinking tea wholeheartedly, and they were talking about something, as if they hadn't heard it at all.
But Song Wenyu knew very well that she had actually heard everything.
"Ah Jin, I ......"
"Huh? Go ahead. Seeing that he wanted to stop talking, Ah Jin answered with a smile, and then turned his head away and did not look at him again. It wasn't until Song Wenyu walked away that she silently put down the tea cup she was holding in her hand and thought thoughtfully.
"Girl, what are you thinking?" Ah Zhen was waiting on the side, and when she saw Ah Jin staring at the distance in a daze, she couldn't help but ask.
Ah Jin came back to his senses, glanced at Ah Zhen, and shook his head with a wry smile, "It seems that the old lady of the Song family has not taken off her guard against the Shen family because of this life-saving grace. On the contrary, the mustard is deeper. ”
Ah Zhen tilted her head and looked at Ah Jin inexplicably, unable to figure out the reason.
……
Song Wenyu followed the maid to the old lady's yard, and as soon as she entered the door, Mama Li, who was waiting by the old lady's side, lifted the curtain and came out.
"Young Master, the old lady has been waiting for you. I don't want to sleep until I see you. ”
"Yes." Song Wenyu nodded. He has always talked little, and Mama Li didn't see anything wrong.
Song Wenyu came to Mrs. Song's bed and sat down, and saw half a bowl of decoction and medicine placed in a few places next to the bed. He turned his head, looked at Mrs. Song and said, "Grandmother, why haven't you finished drinking the medicine?" ”
"I drank half of it, and I really couldn't drink it anymore. The old lady thought about putting it aside and drinking it later. Before Mrs. Song could speak, Mama Li answered for her.
Song Wenyu listened to her words, did not make a sound, and was silent. Seeing this, Old Madam Song smiled weakly, took Song Wenyu's hand and said, "Grandmother has just been closed from the ghost gate, and the doctor's advice is naturally to be listened to." I won't skip the pill, rest assured. ”
When Song Wenyu heard this, he sighed helplessly, "Grandmother, at this time, you can't be willful." You must drink the medicine on time and in the right amount. ”
"Got it." Mrs. Song said softly, without any resistance, but there was still some discomfort in her heart.
Seeing that his grandmother agreed happily, Song Wenyu also knew that it was not good to be harsh more, so he gave up, "Grandmother asked her grandson to come over today, what do you have to explain?" ”
"I heard...... The two girls of the Meng family are pregnant, although our Song family has not moved much with the Meng family, this congratulatory gift is still unavoidable. ”
Song Wenyu lowered his eyebrows and did not make a sound. Seeing that he didn't answer, Old Madam Song asked tentatively, "Wen Yu, what's wrong with you?" ”
"Since grandmother has told me, I will do it."
"Well, that's good...... Old Madam Song smiled with relief, and said: "Speaking of which, this Meng Mansion is really protected by the ancestors, and there are three more heirs in one go." What a blessing. You and Wen Yuan have to hurry up. ”
"Yes, my grandson knows." Song Wenyu nodded, the grandfather and grandson exchanged a few more words, and seeing that it was already on the lights, Song Wenyu left.
"Old lady, your body has just improved, don't work too hard." Mama Li stepped forward, helped the old lady up, and instructed the little maid to bring the half bowl of medicine that was warm on the stove.
Old Madam Song glanced at the bowl of medicine and waved her hand. Mama Li persuaded a few words, but seeing that she was unmoved, she had to put it down again, "Old lady, the eldest young master is right, the medicine must be taken on time and in accordance with the amount." ”
"Put it there. When I think about the origin of this medicine, my heart is not happy. Panicked. Old Madam Song said as she hammered her chest.
"Old lady, you can't get along with your body", Mama Li saw this, and stretched out her hand to gently caress her chest for her, "You only need to take this medicine for another day or two, and you can do it." ”
"In that case, it's not a day or two, isn't it?" Old Madam Song smiled, without the slightest intention of backing down, "I don't need the rest of the medicine." The medicinal herbs worth thousands of gold that have not been used up will also be sent back to the Shen family. ”
"This ...... The slave and maid know. Mama Li glanced at the medicine placed on the bedside and replied helplessly.
……
Shen Molin was very surprised when he received the post from the Song Mansion, he had dealt with the Song Mansion for so long, and this was the first time that the Song Mansion had given him a post seriously.
"Brother-in-law, what do you have to discuss with me today?" Early in the morning of the second day, Shen Molin took the post and went to the Song Mansion. As soon as he sat down, he asked straight to the point.
Song Wenyu glanced at him, first asked Huairen to take the lacquered wooden box in his hand to Shen Molin, and when he saw the other party open the box, he said slowly: "What is contained here is a silver ticket and a title deed worth six hundred gold, you see, whether it is enough." ”
Shen Molin was stunned for a moment, gently closed the box, raised his hand to Song Wenyu and said, "Why is Song Dalangjun so anxious. When the old lady's illness is completely cured, it is not too late for us to talk about this matter. ”
"I know very well that if I ask you seriously, you may not give me an accurate answer. So, I asked your sister. If it's less, come back and talk to me. ”
"Brother-in-law, I didn't mean that", Shen Molin couldn't laugh or cry, "I'm ......"
Song Wenyu stretched out his hand and pressed it down, "I know what you mean." However, this amount is not a small amount, and our Song family can't always owe it like this. Besides, you still want to do business in the royal capital, how can you not have a little money by your side. ”
"In that case...... Then I might as well be respectful. ”
Song Wenyu looked at Shen Molin and subconsciously pursed his lips, "And ...... My grandmother's body is already half healed, and the rest of the life-sustaining grass is returned to its original owner. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Huairen held a long box in front of Shen Molin with both hands. Shen Molin looked at the box, his smile was slightly stiff, he turned his head to look at Song Wenyu, just smiled bitterly, and didn't say anything superfluous.
Song Wenyu sent Shen Molin to the door of the Song Mansion with a heavy expression, and after seeing him leave, he turned his head and went to the east wing. Along the way, he was unusually silent, so that Huairen didn't dare to say anything.
