Chapter 8 All good things are on the way
It was actually Yan Ling.
Qiaozhi returned home with a stomach full of questions, and didn't care about reporting to Yu's mother, so she rushed to the Pantuo Courtyard.
Yun Zhi was sitting under the pear tree with tea and pouring himself a drink, and when he saw her come in, he put down the teacup and said, "Are you back?" ”
"Sister." Qiao Zhi complained a little, "Why didn't you tell me that Bai Jian's first stop to investigate was Yanling?" ”
"What? Afraid of touching the scene? Still don't want to see that little scholar? ”
... Sister, don't you mention that we can still be happy sisters. But when it comes to scholars, she remembers the eighty taels of cash contract, and there is no one at home, so the scholar should be embarrassed to break in rashly, right? And the notes he gave himself...
"Okay, what's wrong with Yan Ling? The first thing to overcome fear is to face it forever, so that we, the sons and daughters of Yufu, do not have soft-footed shrimp. ”
"Hmm... Come on, Ollie give? Pretty Zhi asked weakly.
"You're starting to be stupid again?" Yun Zhi rolled his eyes and waved his hand to drive people away: "Okay, don't stay here with me if you don't have anything to do, I don't know how to write to your brother-in-law yet, I don't have a clue at all." ”
"Write to my brother-in-law?"
"Yes, these big bosses in our family, as long as you are better, you are still a dead student. Although your brother-in-law is not an official position, he is a civil official, and he should know better than us about the twists and turns of these officialdoms. It's better to ask him than to have no idea all the time, and it's better to persuade him when his father comes back. ”
"Okay." Pretty eda agrees. Although my brother-in-law is only a five-grade petty official, because he is gentle and kind, he has many good colleagues, and it is a good decision to hand it over to these civil officials to figure out the holy will.
After talking to her sister again, Qiaozhi returned to her Yundaiju. Maybe it was the calm before the storm, she didn't have anything important to do in the past few days except to greet Yu's mother, so she simply rummaged through the boxes and cabinets to find the pen and ink handwriting left by the original owner and copy it in case of emergencies.
After breakfast this day, Qiao Zhi hadn't decided whether to continue copying the script or find a script to relieve her boredom, Yun Zhi's personal maid Yin'er hurriedly came over to spread the word that Bai Gongzi was waiting for her in the main hall.
I haven't seen her for a few days, Bai Jian is still a drag hero, seeing her come to the main hall, she nodded slightly, and was ready to say goodbye to Yu's mother.
"Not busy." The elder brother of the Yu family hurriedly stopped, "I still have something to tell my little sister, wait until lunch before leaving, fortunately, it is not far from Yanling." ”
"Qiaozhi, come here." The elder brother of the Yu family walked over to the side hall.
Qiaozhi stuck out her tongue and hurriedly followed, she has been nesting in Yundaiju for the past few days, except for Yu's mother, even Yunzhi is rare, let alone this big brother. Speaking of which, he seems to be called... Yuyuan Bridge? It's a good name.
"Big brother. You look for me. Pretty branches stood in front of him in a decent manner, waiting for the hair to fall. Yu Yuanqiao took out a stack of silver tickets from his pocket and handed it to her, and touched the top of her head again: "The Bai family kid is a good boy, don't think about anything when you go with him this time, just take it as a distraction to go to the mountains and rivers." My mother told me about Shi Yao, and I feel more at ease with Bai Jian with you. ”
Qiaozhi remembered that she had thrown the tablet in Java, and with some hesitation, she told Yuanqiao about the clothed mound.
After listening to the ins and outs, Yu Yuanqiao really frowned, and his tone was a little serious: "This kind of thing, why didn't you explain it to your mother in the first place?" ”
"I... Maybe my brain was too messy at the beginning..."Who knows why the original owner lied!
"Clothed mound... It seems that it is necessary for you to return to Yanling. I'm afraid this matter is not as simple as it seems, and you'd better tell Bai Jian that the Taoist temple is a little unusual. ”
"Is there anything wrong with that Taoist temple?" Qiaozhi didn't understand.
"It's not a problem to take it out alone, but it's a problem when you put it together." Yu Yuanqiao touched her head again, "This matter is too coincidental with our family, I only heard your description of Shi Yao's cause and dare not make a judgment, but it is definitely not as simple as the Taoist priest said to rush into ghosts and gods." ”
"What does my brother mean... Shi Yao was framed? ”
"Not sure." Yu Yuanqiao shook his head, "I have also seen Shi Yao a few times, although he looks thin, he is still healthy. This thing is really strange. ”
"Okay..."Qiaozhi nodded, and remembered the family letter again, "Big brother, is it serious to lose the letter at the post station?" ”
"It's not serious, it's hard. There are delivery specialists for every stretch of the journey. Why do you suddenly ask this? ”
"Hmm... Did my sister tell you that after I moved to Yanling, I cut off contact with you. I've been writing home all the time, but you've never received it. I haven't received any letter from home. ”
Yu Yuanqiao rubbed his eyebrows with a headache, "Little sister, I've been in the army." I really don't know you and Shi Yao. Tell me more about what you've been through with him before. ”
So she retold everything in the original way, and some of the original owner's memories were also very vague, so she skipped vaguely, from the beginning of eloping to Yanling, to Shi Yao's illness and death... As if she had finally found an outlet, at first it was just a simple narrative, and gradually she began to raise doubts, and regardless of whether Yu Yuanqiao would answer or not, she continued to talk until her mouth was so dry that she finally stopped and waited for her brother's opinion.
Peeling off the cocoon, Yu Yuanqiao admits that he doesn't have that ability, but from Qiaozhi's narration, he also understands that this matter is not as strange as it seems, just like Qiaozhi said, there may be a big conspiracy that no one knows.
Yu Yuanqiao was still pondering, and Qiaozhi didn't bother. When he pondered, that military spirit couldn't help but appear, and there was no longer the kindness of his brother at home. may be the reason for his long-term military service, his figure is taller and burly than Bai Jian, if Bai Jian is a rising sun when he laughs, he is a young chivalrous spirit, then Yu Yuanqiao's contemplative appearance is a leopard waiting for his prey, and it is the momentum of not being angry and arrogant brought by staying in the top position for a long time.
"Alright, let's go back first. Go to eat. My mother said, I made a big table of dishes for you today. The sound of the maids holding the dishes and talking quietly in his ears interrupted Yu Yuanqiao's train of thought. He rubbed the top of the pretty branch's head, his eyebrows gradually stretched, and in the blink of an eye, he turned back into the gentle big brother, and the majestic temperament around him no longer existed.
The two returned to the dining room, Qiu Yue pulled out the chair on Yu's mother's left hand side for Qiaozhi, and Yunzhi sat on Yu's mother's right hand.
The maids came in with all kinds of dishes, Yu Yuanqiao put his arm around Bai Jian's shoulder, and the two sat on the opposite side of Qiaozhi.
The dish was almost over, and Yu's mother picked up the wine glass with a smile: "Today's table of dishes is for the two of you to practice." Bai Jian, when I go out this time, Qiaozhi will ask you to take care of it. ”
Bai Jian also stood up and said loudly: "Bai Jian will definitely live up to his trust." Then he took his glass and drank it all.
The wine glass in front of Qiaozhi and Yunzhi also contained wine, but it was a home-brewed fruit wine, Qiaozhi took a sip, only to feel that the fruity aroma was strong, but the wine flavor was not obvious.
This meal, Qiaozhi ate very satisfied. Maybe it's because of the practice, Yun Zhi also cooked the soup himself, I have to say that although Yun Zhi was born in the martial arts and looks very aggressive, but the soup is so delicious that he can bite off his tongue, compared with Yun Zhi, Qiaozhi, a modern social animal who can only cook noodles, is simply a waste person.
Yu's mother has been whispering to Qiaozhi about all kinds of matters, no matter how big or small, she can't even take care of eating. This feeling is very novel, it is an experience that I have never had in my previous life, Qiaozhi listened with a smile, and in the end, Yu's mother sighed deeply and pinched her soft cheeks: "I saw that I was a little fatter, and I was going to lose weight again." But it's good to be able to relax, it's just when will you grow up? After saying that, her eyes were red, and she hurriedly lowered her head to eat.
"Alright. Mother, I will grow up, thank you. Qiaozhi gave Yu's mother a mouthful of food and swore an oath.
If you count by age, this body is only nineteen years old. At the age of nineteen, he is still a freshman in modern times, but the original owner has already experienced everything that many people in the world cannot experience, and has even been involved in an unknown conspiracy.
Bai Jian and Yu Yuanqiao had been drinking heavily, talking and laughing loudly, talking about some martial arts rumors and anecdotes about the rivers and lakes.
Qingyue stood behind Qiaozhi and kept staring at Bai Jian, who was a little puzzled and smiled at her. The girl immediately lowered her head, the blush stained the roots of her ears, and Qiu Yue next to her smiled narrowly, and gently pressed her elbow against Qing Yue's waist.
Many years later, Qiaozhi can still easily recall the scene of this day and this moment, and the young man in the banquet smiled brightly, the most high-spirited, the most bright.
They have dreams, they have love, they have been hit but they have never been disappointed, they have been involved in conspiracies but they have never been discouraged... This is what they were originally like.
She will never forget it for the rest of her life.
After eating, Bai Jian was called by Yu Yuanqiao to prepare the horse, and Yun Zhi was still counting the luggage over and over again to check if there was anything missing.
"Sister, there is everything over there in Yanling." You really don't have to bring so many things with you like a tourist.
Yun Zhi raised her eyebrows, and began to count her in her hand: "Can Yanling's and the one that my mother brought you the same?" Not long after you went to Yanling, you threw yourself into it like a hungry ghost, and you don't know how long it will take to distract yourself this time. By the way, you'll have to keep your distance from that little scholar. ”
“... Yes. "Qiaozhi responded sullenly, can't you not mention Zhao Yu, sister!
"Ugh." Yun Zhi also pinched Qiaozhi's face and sighed: "I just raised a few taels of meat, but don't be hungry anymore." Mother and I... I feel sorry for you. ”
Qiaozhi opened her mouth, and she didn't know what to say for a while. He stepped forward and hugged Yunzhi and buried his head in her neck. The person in her arms was unexpectedly thin, and she couldn't feel her teeth and claws on weekdays.
Before I finished sighing here, I saw Yun Zhi unceremoniously pinching the soft/flesh on Qiaozhi's waist and raising his eyebrows: "It's me who underestimated you... Sister, you've been eating too well these days, aren't you? ”
"......" Okay, a family of a few people, I am the fattest, I know.
Letting go of his embrace, Yun Zhi sniffed, asked the little girl to wait outside with her luggage, and then took Qiaozhi's hand and sent her out with Yu's mother.
This trip brought Qingyue and Qiuyue, and Bai Jian had a small servant Xiuzhu on his side, and it was basically enough to take care of the diet and daily life of the two.
The carriage moved forward slowly, and Bai Jian and Yu Yuanqiao followed in front of the carriage, and occasionally they could be heard talking about a few words.
"Qingyue, are you happy to follow Miss out this time?" Qiu Yue asked with a smile.
“... Are you unhappy? Qingyue fought back.
"I'm naturally happy, but I'm happy because I came out with Miss, as for you, tsk, I don't know if it's because Miss or a hero~"
"Autumn! Month! Qingyue swooped over, giggling and rolling in a ball with Qiu Yue.
Pretty Eda sat on the side, smiling and watching them play, it was the best time.
Everything is on the way.
