Chapter Eighty-Six: Huairen Returns
It is also strange to say that Song Li's hysteria began when Song Wenyu set off, and it was better when Song Wenyu returned. Song Li was the day after Ah Jin returned to the Song Mansion, and suddenly he was no longer crazy.
"I, what's wrong with me? It's like a dream......" Song Li took the water cup handed over by Song Yu, and asked, "What do I think...... I can't remember a lot of things before. β
"If you can't remember, you can't remember, Li'er, you're still weak now, don't think too much,", Song Li came to his senses, the happiest was Song Yu's family, Song Wenyu and Song Wenyuan, the two brothers, came back from the next dynasty and heard the news, and they both came to Tingzhuxuan.
"Big brother, second brother, ...... you" Song Li looked at the two who hurriedly entered the house in confusion. Before she went crazy, Song Wenyuan was still a cloth dress, but when she sobered up, Song Wenyuan had already put on the court clothes of a five-grade civil official, "This ...... What the hell is going on...... My head...... It hurts......"
Song Li only felt that her mind was blank, as if someone had pried open her brain and taken away this part of her memory.
"Why can't I remember anything...... I ......"
"Don't think about it if you can't think about it, you were very sick before, and it was normal to linger on the sickbed every day, and you can't remember." Song Yu hurriedly comforted softly.
As soon as she finished speaking, Song Li suddenly grabbed her hand, as if grasping a life-saving straw, "Mother, you tell me the truth, I ...... Am I ...... Hysteria again? β
Song Yu was taken aback by her question, she glanced back at Song Wenyuan and Song Wenyu, and saw Song Wenyu shaking her head at her slightly, so she turned her head to look at Song Li and said, "It's nothing, it's ...... It was this time that you contracted the wind chill and almost killed you, but fortunately you survived. β
"Really? Is that so? Song Li looked at Song Yu and asked, seeing her nodding, and then looking at her two brothers, seeing that both of them agreed with this answer, she didn't ask any more questions.
It's just that the seeds of doubt in this lesson still took root in her heart.
"Li'er, it's rare for you to recover, let's come and see you today, and we won't disturb your rest in the long future." Song Wenyu said, then looked at Song Yu and said, "Mother, you have been staying by Li'er's side for the past few days, and you should also go back to rest." β
Song Yu was a little reluctant in his heart, but he also understood that now that everyone had left, he would avoid Song Li's questioning. She got up slowly and said to Song Li: "Liangyu who served you before has returned to her hometown, and Liangke, who served by my side, first arranged to serve by your side, what you want to eat and use, but whoever sends her is." β
Song Li looked at Song Yu and wanted to ask something, but he didn't know where to start. She nodded silently and said to Song Yu: "Mother, go back and rest, I will continue to sleep for a while, after talking so much today, I suddenly feel a little tired." β
"Good, good. Wait until you go to bed and then have lunch with your mother. β
"Okay." Song Li nodded and watched the two brothers follow their mother out of their room. She sat on the bed for a while, only to feel empty in her heart, and this empty feeling made her irritable.
After Song Yu walked out of Tingzhuxuan, he said to his two sons: "You don't have to send me, Mama will send me back." You should also go back to your room, remember to come to the dining room for lunch later, we will be a family...... It's been a long time since we've had a meal together. β
"Yes." Song Wenyu said to Song Yu's family, and was just about to go to the east wing, but was stopped by Song Yu's family.
Wen Yu ...... I...... I have a reluctant request. Song Yu stepped forward with some embarrassment and said in a low voice: "You come to eat today, can you come alone." β
"Mother?" As soon as Song Yu's words came out, even Song Wenyuan was stunned, "Mother, what do you mean by this?" β
Before Song Wenyu could speak, Song Wenyuan took the first step to ask the questions in the hearts of the two. Song Yushi frowned and glanced at him, and reprimanded softly: "I'm talking to your brother, don't interject." β
"But!"
Song Wenyuan just wanted to argue a few words for Ah Jin, when he heard Song Wenyu say something lightly. "Wen Yu is already a person with a wife, since it is a family banquet, how can there be a reason not to bring his wife to the banquet."
"I know it's an unreasonable request...... It's just ......" Song Yushi said this, his expression was a little embarrassed and a little painful, "Li'er is just right, I really don't want her to be stimulated a little more...... You know, she's had an unpleasant relationship with Merkin before, and I'm really ......"
"So, I understand," Song Wenyu still looked so light-hearted, but Song Wenyuan could see from his slightly curled fingers that the eldest brother was holding back his anger, "This lunch, Ah Jin and I won't come over, please talk to my mother and father." Wen Yu took his leave. β
After saying that, after Song Wenyu saluted Song Yu's family, he turned around and walked towards the east wing.
Song Yu didn't expect Song Wenyu to make this decision and wanted to stop Song Wenyu, but the other party had no intention of stopping at all. Song Yu frowned and looked at Song Wenyu's figure that was gradually moving away, and felt a little uneasy in his heart.
As soon as she turned around, she saw that Song Wenyuan was also looking at her with a disapproving look, and she couldn't help but be a little annoyed. "What are you looking at me like that?"
"Mother, why are you so aggressive. You know that the eldest brother and the eldest sister-in-law Pelican have a deep relationship......"
"I naturally know, and I hope you know," Song Yushi replied coldly, took a few steps forward, and then turned back to look at Song Wenyuan and said: "Also, although Wen Yu was brought up by me, he is not the meat that fell from my October pregnancy, he is disrespectful to me, I have nothing to say." But you are, don't forget to be proportionate when talking to your mother on weekdays! β
After speaking, Song Yu turned his head and left. Song Wenyuan stood at the fork in the road and looked in the direction of the east wing, then turned his head helplessly and left silently behind his mother.
β¦β¦
As soon as Song Wenyu entered the room, Ah Jin saw that he was angry.
"What's going on? Who messed with you? Ah Jin put the cup to the side and looked at Song Wenyu curiously.
"It's nothing," Song Wenyu looked up at Ah Jin, "Let's go eat out at noon today, how about it." β
"Huh? Don't you like to eat at home every day? Ah Jin felt that the sun was coming out in the west, and there must be a demon when things went wrong, Ah Jin simply put the book in his hand on the table and walked to Song Wenyu's side, "What's wrong with you today?" It's not like it's fine. β
Song Wenyu saw her coming over and hugged her in his arms, "Li'er suddenly came to her senses today, and my mother was a little concerned about her physical condition and wanted us to avoid suspicion." β
"Do you want us to avoid suspicion? Or do you want me to avoid suspicion? As soon as Ah Jin heard this, she understood eight or nine points, she played with the strand of hair hanging down on her chest, and said disappreciably: "It's clear that you don't want Song Li to see me, right?" β
Song Wenyu didn't speak, but hugged Ah Jin tighter again. Ah Jin sighed and patted the back of his hand. "It's to be expected, and I don't feel sad. It's you, so angry that you don't go to the family banquet, is it really good? β
"What's so bad. Anyway, I've already let it out, and there is absolutely no reason to go back like this,", speaking of which, the two returned to the previous topic, "Let's go out to eat, and take you out to swim in the Bianhe River by the way." β
Ah Jin thought about it, smiled and nodded, "I'll go change clothes", she stood up, looked at Song Wenyu and said, "You should also change into regular clothes." β
Song Wenyu glanced down at his official uniform and said with a smile: "That's true." β
After the two of them dressed up, they went straight out, without any servants, including Ah Jiu and Ah Zhen. For this reason, Ah Jiu was a little depressed, but Ah Zhen could think about it.
"Girl, let's have a good rest, knowing that there is an uncle, we can't let go."
Ah Jiu didn't speak, just sat in the courtyard by himself, looking at the hidden courtyard door.
Song Wenyu and Ah Jin walked hand in hand in the market, just like an ordinary couple. Occasionally, when he saw a beggar begging in the market, he would stop and give a few coins.
Along the way, Song Wenyu unknowingly rewarded five or six beggars. Ah Jin teased him, "You continue to do good deeds, but you still have money to invite me to eat and drink?" β
Song Wenyu looked at her and said seriously: "If you really don't have any money, you can go to Lan Yin Ji to eat." β
"You want to be beautiful." Ah Jin pinched her, and when she turned around, she saw a beggar again, she frowned slightly, and suddenly fell into deep thought.
Song Wenyu looked at Ah Jin strangely, "What's wrong?" It can't be really angry. β
"I'm thinking about something else", she looked at Song Wenyu and said, "Don't you think there have been more beggars in the royal capital recently?" Why? β
"This flood is not just in the south." Song Wenyu walked on the street market with his hands in his hands, not contaminated with a trace of market atmosphere on this street, and still looked arrogant, standing there, standing out from the crowd.
Ah Jin looked at Song Wenyu like this, a little helpless, and full of admiration. She remembered the days when the two of them had drifted the canal with the tide, pretending to be fishermen. Those days were long, and she couldn't tell which one was the real one, and there was a bit of a taste of fake play.
"What are you thinking?" Song Wenyu saw that Ah Jin stopped talking again, and turned around and waited for her.
"It's nothing," Ah Jin shook his head, "let's go to the inn, and I'll take you to meet someone." β
Song Wenyu was stunned for a moment, "Who?" β
"You'll know when you get there?" Ah Jin didn't say anything, and pulled him in the direction of the inn, but this time she didn't go straight to the destination, but took a lot of detours, and by the time they finally came to the door of the inn, it was already past lunchtime.
Ah Jin looked around to make sure that there were no suspicious people around, so he stepped forward and knocked on the door of the inn.
"Girl, ...... you" Chujian opened the door, originally wanted to call Senior Sister Ajin, but when he saw Song Wenyu standing aside, he changed his name.
"He knows everything, you don't have to be obsessed." Ah Jin said to Hatsumi as he walked to the backyard of the inn.
Chu Jian glanced at Song Wenyu who was following behind in surprise, and said, "That...... Can you say anything? β
Ah Jin glared at him, "Of course not", she is not the kind of woman who is carried away by love, she naturally knows that Tongtian Pavilion is on the cusp at the moment, and she still has reservations about Song Wenyu.
"But the person you found today is his person, this can be said." Ah Jin commanded in the ear of Hatsumi.
Chu Jian nodded, and said respectfully to Song Wenyu: "Uncle, please, wait a minute, I ordered someone to bring that son over." β
Song Wenyu followed Ah Jin into the room, Ah Jin drank a glass of water and poured it for him, but Song Wenyu didn't drink it, "What were you muttering to this shopkeeper just now?" Is he going to bring someone to me? β
"Well,", Ah Jin drank the glass of water that Song Wenyu put on the table and said, "Don't worry about it first, you'll know later." β
As soon as she finished speaking, footsteps came from far and near, and finally stopped at the door of the room. There was three knocks on the door, and Ah Jin opened his mouth to let people in.
Song Wenyu, who was sitting on one side, stood up when he saw the visitor, "Huairen ......", he didn't expect that he would also have an incoherent day, he stared at Huairen who was still bandaged on his arm, and the hideous scar on his face, and his heart ached faintly.
"Young Master......" Huairen was also very excited when he saw Song Wenyu, he knelt down and was about to kowtow to Song Wenyu, but was supported by Song Wenyu.
"Hurry up, you still have injuries on your body, you don't have to make this big gift." After that, Song Wenyu helped Huairen up.
Ah Jin waited until the master and servant were in a more stable mood before saying, "My people found them more than ten days ago, in the upper reaches of the Bianhe River, a hundred miles away from the royal capital. He was hunted down and killed with Imperial Doctor Wei and a medical woman at that time, and then he was saved by our people. β
When Song Wenyu heard this, he tightly grabbed Huairen's uninjured arm, "They are so arrogant and domineering." β
"Naturally, it is arrogant and domineering, Zhu family, hasn't it always been like this." Ah Jin commented: "Later, my people arranged for them to live in the Yunlai Inn to recuperate from their injuries, and because the injuries were relatively minor, Imperial Doctor Wei and the medical woman had to have a lot of dreams at night, so we didn't wait for them to get better and let them go back to the palace to report on their work." Only Huairen, who was seriously injured, could barely get out of bed and walk after several days of recuperation with us. β
"If this is the case, the Zhu family will definitely not give up, but why do they want to kill them like this?" Song Wenyu looked at Ah Jin puzzled.
"The little one thought it was because the little one had fought with the Zhu family assassins. They fear that something will fall into our hands. Huairen guessed along Ah Jin's train of thought.
Ah Jin nodded and said, "You guessed right, even if you don't have the handle in your hands at all, they want to prevent future troubles." When your son-in-law returned to the royal capital, I don't think they didn't have murderous intentions. However, your son-in-law is an important minister of the court, and since he has arrived safely in the royal capital, he naturally can't do it anymore. But you're different...... They bite you so hard, and there is also some meaning of knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger. β
"How can Song make them so concerned." Song Wenyu snorted coldly and gritted his teeth.
"Of course you deserve to think so highly of you, but I always feel like they're overly nervous. Now that Liu Yi has confessed to the law, Xiao Duo has also robbed you of the credit and won the appreciation of the saint, and Xiao Zhan has not found it yet...... Their plan was successful, and there is no reason to chase you after you for some minor flaw. Did you discover some secret in the process of fleeing, but you didn't know it? β
Huairen was inexplicably asked by Ah Jin, shook his head blankly and said, "Madam is really confused about the little one. β
"It's okay, you take care of your injuries during this time, and we'll discuss the rest slowly. Now the thing you and your son-in-law need to discuss should be how you go back to the Song family. β
"I guess you've got an idea." Song Wenyu looked at Ah Jin and asked.
"The idea is not mature enough, and I ask my husband to give me a lot of advice," Ah Jin playfully said this sentence before getting to the point, "I didn't think about what to do until I saw the refugees begging in the market. I think Huairen can wait for the injury to heal and blend in, and then the husband will find another time to go shopping and play a drama of the master and servant recognizing each other. In this way, the Zhu family is helpless, and they will not suspect that there is a third-party force secretly helping you, and we can all be safe. β
Song Wenyu pondered for a moment and nodded. "You can do that, but it still depends on what Huairen wants. If you don't want to be humiliated, we can think of something else. β
"No humiliation, no humiliation," Huairen hurriedly waved his hand, "It's just a show, not only can you return to the young master's side on an errand, but also help the life-saving benefactor clear the suspicion, why not." β
"So, that's it." Ah Jin smiled happily when he saw that Huairen had agreed so happily. She first poured another glass of water, the cup was already to her lips, she suddenly raised her head and looked at Huairen and said, "Ah Zhen has been paying attention to your news for a while, and you have returned to the Song Mansion when you go back, but remember to say hello to her." β
Huairen was stunned for a moment, and replied shyly: "I will." β
"Well, I'm a little hungry. First time, you go and ask the kitchen to copy some food, I want to eat. After finishing his business, Ah Jin touched his hungry gurgling belly.
Song Wenyu looked at her with a slight smile, and only felt that no matter what kind of Ah Jin was, he couldn't put it down.
The two of them had dinner, and told Huairen to rest well, and just about to leave, they caught up with Ah Jin and said, "Girl, please stay." β
Ah Jin glanced back at the first sight, said hello to Song Wenyu again, and followed him to the side.
"What's wrong?"
"No," Hatsumi shook his head, "It's just a letter from the Pavilion Master, and let me tell you something strange." After the day of the embankment burst in Huainan County, the entire Star Picking Pavilion seemed to have disappeared from the martial arts. So many people, I don't know where they went, they just disappeared, and I don't see them taking over business in the martial arts anymore. β
This news made Ah Jin feel strange. "Anything else."
"It's not that I don't want to inquire, it's that I can't inquire at all. They have never been in the business of killing people, and they don't care if they are disloyal and traitorous, and naturally they will not have any good sects in martial arts. Now the entire people in the Star Picking Pavilion have disappeared without a trace, and there are many people who feel that they have been crusaded against. β
Ah Jin pinched his chin with his fingers and didn't speak for a long time. Hatsumi stood patiently with her sleeves on, waiting for her decision. Suddenly, Ah Jin raised his head and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Put this matter aside for the time being, report it as soon as there is news." β
"Yes," Hatsumi replied to Ah Jin with a fist.
Looking at such a first meeting, Ah Jin suddenly had an impulse. "When I first met, Ah Jiu is also sixteen years old this year. Why don't I marry her to you, and you two will marry in the royal capital? β
Hatsumi raised his head in surprise, his expression a little tangled.
"What? You don't want to marry Ah Jiu? Ah Jin raised an eyebrow and asked pretending to be angry.
"Whatever my sister said, I'm just afraid of her...... Unwilling to marry. β
"How is it possible, you two grew up together." Ah Jin didn't understand why Hatsumi would say such a thing. After thinking about it, it suddenly became enlightened.
It must be something that happened to this little couple without her knowing, Ah Jin thought about it and asked cautiously, "Is it that Ah Jiu is unwilling to stay in the royal capital, right?" β
At first sight, he didn't speak, just lowered his head, which was already a tacit acquiescence. Ah Jin stood there cross-waisted, not knowing what to say for a while. She looked up at the wisteria covered with wisteria on the top of the corridor, and then said, "It's inconvenient for me to meddle in your affairs." But if you have any knots that you can't untie, tell me as soon as possible. β
"Yes, I remember it at first sight." Hatsumi bent down and bowed deeply to Ah Jin.
Ah Jin patted him on the shoulder and left with Song Wenyu. I don't know when it was already dark.
The two of them walked in the downtown at the beginning of the lanterns, and Song Wenyu, who had always been very serious, suddenly laughed.
"What are you laughing at?" Ah Jin looked at the somewhat naΓ―ve man in bewilderment.
"I was thinking, we'll go back later, but I'm going to be reprimanded."
Speaking of this, Ah Jin also has a headache. "It's also my fault, as soon as I talk to them, it's endless."
"It can be seen that you care about them very much," Song Wenyu looked at Ah Jin, who was paying attention to the various lanterns, and suddenly asked, "Is that the stronghold of Tongtian Pavilion in Wangdu?" β
Ah Jin was stunned, as if he didn't expect him to ask such a question. She confronted Song Wenyu for a moment, and asked him seriously: "If I say yes, what will you do." β
Song Wenyu saw her somewhat defensive look and gently scratched her nose. "I don't think I'll be able to do anything, they are your relatives, and they saved Huairen's life. I'm not going to do anything bad for them. β
"Really?"
"Really." Song Wenyu said solemnly: "Besides, if you really want to arrest the people of Tongtian Pavilion, of course I want to take down you, the daughter of Tongtian Pavilion, in one fell swoop, and capture the thief and capture the king first." β
"Then you shouldn't arrest me, you should arrest my stepfather."
After Ah Jin finished speaking, he giggled and ran away. Song Wenyu was stunned for a moment, and then helplessly watched Ah Jin's playful figure shuttling through the crowd, like a flower butterfly.
