Chapter 113: Mass Burial
When the night was quiet, a large vat was transported from the back door of Baining Houfu. The three little guys pulled together, and went straight to the western suburbs while no one noticed.
originally wanted to bury the person according to the master's will, but the crows in the mass grave in the western suburbs kept calling, and the cry was so terrible that people felt creepy.
Thinking of the lonely graves that are left unattended everywhere and the mass graves not far away, it is even more cold: "Or...... Just throw people here, right? ”
"How's that going to work?" Another reminded: "This is the aunt of the Hou Mansion, the second lady is going to be buried, how can she just throw it here?" ”
"This place is weird, and it's not daylight. Look at my aunt's miserable situation, it doesn't look like a good death, so let's leave quickly. ”
"No ......"
"Oops!" The timid house slave took care of himself and pushed the opening to the side of the deep ditch, and even stabbed the person and pushed it down directly. When the house slave next to him saw it, he hurriedly used a torch to illuminate it, but it was still dark in the deep ditch, and nothing could be illuminated, only the sound of the barrel rolling down, and finally it seemed to stop as if it had hit somewhere.
The three of them looked at each other, and finally heard a bird's cry and ran down the mountain in fright.
The wooden barrel in the deep ditch was shattered, and Xu Yunqiao was only wrapped in a straw mat, and half of his hand fell on the grass.
Seeking half her life, she never thought that her final ending would be so bleak until she died.
……
There was one less person in the house, and at first everyone was still curious about where Aunt Xu went. But after a long time, there are new things to talk about, and the absence of a high-spirited master is not a bad thing.
Rong Yu's medicine stopped, and his body naturally improved. As soon as he was able to get up, someone told him that Xu went crazy and told him the fact that he had murdered his mother, and was sent to Zhuangzi outside the city by Hou Ye, and died violently within a few days.
Although Rong Yu was small, he could see how strange this matter was, but he knew that he couldn't ask. When he was completely healed, he went to the main courtyard to say goodbye to his father.
But the door of the main courtyard has been closed, and the little man who guards the door came out and replied: "Little boy, Master Hou has a head disease again, I am afraid that I will not be able to see you." ”
Rong Yu nodded slightly, turned his head and looked at Sansi: "Then let's go to the Wanqing Courtyard to see the second sister." ”
"The second lady is going to put a new yard out for Jiang's mother and daughter to live in recently, and I heard that she is also busy."
"Now that I'm recovering from my illness and I'm about to leave, I still have to go and see me."
The maids who hurried by the side of the road lowered their heads and made way for Rong Xun to the side when they saw Rong Xun, seemingly respectful, but privately glanced at Rong Xun's back from the corner of their eyes.
On the way to the Wanqing Academy, Rong Yu would receive this strange gaze from time to time, not disdainful or disdainful, but it still made people feel uncomfortable.
Finally arrived at the Wanqing Courtyard, there was no one at the courtyard gate, and Rong Yu walked in by himself. Through the window, Rong Yu saw Rong Changning sitting in front of the desk, sketching on the booklet.
So he called softly: "Second sister." ”
Rong Changning raised his eyes and saw that Rong Yu was wearing a quiet white robe and a black robe, which was probably wearing filial piety for Xu Yunqiao. After all, it was his biological mother, and Rong Changning didn't mind this, so he beckoned to him and called him into the study.
Rong Yu went around and entered Rong Changning's study: "I heard that the second sister is busy, so she shouldn't have bothered." ”
"It doesn't matter." Rong Changning closed the account book: "There are new people in the house, but I just calculate where I need to spend more money." ”
"Yu'er shouldn't have bothered, but she just wanted to come and meet the second sister before leaving."
"Going?" Rong Changning reacted for a while, and suddenly remembered what he had decided before: "You know everything?" ”
"Well, I was told by Sansi yesterday."
"It's not urgent, my father has been suffering from a head illness recently, and it's getting worse and worse every time. I thought, you'd better go back after the Chinese New Year. At that time, your illness was also cured. ”
"Yu'er is no longer in trouble, if she thinks about the Mid-Autumn Festival in a few days, the fourth sister is still living in Hengliang at the third uncle's house, and she sends people under the fence...... I've been able to take care of it in the past. However, the second sister can rest assured, Yu'er must urge the fourth sister to introspect. ”
“……”
Seeing that Rong Changning didn't speak, Rong Zhen called softly: "Second sister? ”
"Ahh Rong Changning came back to his senses and put the pen on the shelf: "It's okay." ”
Then he waved his hand and called Xiao Dong: "You go and find something to prepare for the little boy." ”
"Huh." Xiao Dong went out and went to Rong Changning's bedroom cabinet and turned out a big box.
Seeing that Xiao Dong was back, Rong Changning put the account book aside and moved out a large area, reached out to open the wooden box, and there was a set of black clothes and a pair of shoes in it.
"The second sister made you a dress and a pair of shoes." The magnolia-like hand lifted the corner of the roof and lowered a bag: "Here are some coils and gold beans, and there are also some broken silver and money, so that you can go around." ”
Put the bag away, Rong Changning picked up the small brocade box next to him, opened it and saw that it contained a copper brand that was more than two inches long and less than an inch wide, and the low level of the brand was a line of small seals, which were engraved with the name of Baining Houfu and the name of Rong Yu: "This is the letter of the Hou Mansion, I originally had to wait for you to be a big one before I could give it to you, but I thought that you would go back to your hometown, the mountains and rivers are long, and it is convenient to carry it on your body." ”
Rong Yu looked at the things in front of him and smiled gently: "It took a lot of effort for the second sister to prepare these, right?" ”
His words were filled with loss and suspicion, as if he knew that Rong Changning had already prepared to tell him to leave the imperial city. The egg hurts
Rong Changning didn't explain that he had to do this. One is that Rong Yu really has no good future if he stays in the imperial city, and the other is that he is afraid that he is not as well-behaved as he seems, and he remembers in his heart that Xu Yunqiao's death hides his hatred for the Hou Mansion, which will be unfavorable to Rong Ruo in the future.
For this younger brother, Rong Changning thinks that he has done his duty.
At present, Rong Yu nodded and put away his letter talisman: "Yu Er will remember the teachings of the second sister." ”
"And when are you going to leave?"
"When my father is better and I have visited the main courtyard, I can leave, the sooner the better. Otherwise, it will be delayed until winter, and it will be difficult to hurry. ”
Rong Changning nodded: "Okay, you can have your own plans." What else do you need to bring, the second sister will do it for you. ”
"Hmm. If there is anything else, Yu'er will tell the second sister. Then don't bother the second sister, go back first. ”
"Go ahead."
Rong Yu got up and bowed again, picked up the box and turned to leave.
The courtyard was quiet again, as if Rong Yu had never been here. Rong Changning looked at the window, and Xiao Dong also looked at it.
After looking at it for a long time, Rong Changning asked, "Am I too desperate for him?" ”
"Why does the young lady think so? Hengliang's hometown has a lot of property, and it is already a good place for the little boy Laishui. ”
Rong Changning nodded and took the account book next to him. Xiao Dong reminded: "Miss, don't think about this, the general will be in the imperial city the day after tomorrow, are you going to the city gate to pick it up?" ”
More than half a year has passed, and he is finally coming back. He came back, and Liu Huanshu also came back. Thinking about Chen Jieyu in Zhaohua Palace, her drowsy mind suddenly sobered up: "When he comes back, he will definitely go to the palace to resume his life, won't I delay the business when I stop him at the city gate?" ”
"That's what I said, then let's wait until the general is done."
"Hmm."
The tea next to his hand was also cold, and Xiao Dong saw that Rong Changning no longer wanted to speak, so he got up and went to change the pot of tea.
……
When General Dingbei returned to the city, the long street was surrounded by water, and people wanted to see Bai Chuxi and even more so to see the Lida who mediated in the Beisai Division.
And Rong Changning sat quietly at home and waited, she knew that Bai Chuxi would definitely come to her after she was busy. The leaves of the old trees outside the window have turned yellow, but it does not make people feel a sense of decay, but it has a little more autumn charm.
Sure enough, as soon as Bai Chuxi arrived in the imperial city, before the people entered the palace, he sent someone to Baining Houfu to deliver a small box of things.
It was none other than Jiang Ning. The shadow behind the screen was vaguely recognizable, and he didn't even take off his armor: "The son said that after entering the palace to restore his life, he went back to ask the old lady to come and see Miss Rong Er." ”
"It's too late after I get back to life." Rong Changning instructed: "All the way, you tell him not to toss, take a good rest, and talk about the rest tomorrow." ”
"Uh...... Childe told me that if Miss Ronger had anything to ask, I would answer them all. ”
Rong Changning thought for a while: "Is he injured?" ”
"Nope." Jiang Ning hurriedly replied: "The general has always been stubborn in the dome pass and rarely fights, even if he is injured, he just accidentally scratches a little skin, and he doesn't fight tightly." ”
"Hmm." Rong Changning nodded and thought about it again: "That...... Then I don't have anything to ask. ”
"Then Jiang Ning will retire first."
Rong Changning nodded, and saw the shadow turn away. Waiting for the person to go away, Xiao Dong couldn't wait to open the small box: "What is it?!" All of them were brought back to Miss by the general?! ”
Rong Changning leaned on the cushion and watched Xiao Dong unpack.
"Oh roar! It's the Eagle Bone Flute! I know that we also have a couple in the house. After that, Xiao Dong put aside the box containing the eagle bone flute and continued to rummage: "What is this?" It's like a hair ornament, it should be a hair ornament worn by a Beisai woman, right? ”
"Hmm." Rong Changning received it: "It should be something from the Yupu clan." You see the little totem at this moment, which is unique to the Yupu tribe. ”
Xiao Dong glanced at it twice, but he didn't care very much. He was rummaging through things and suddenly shouted, "This is not ...... Isn't this the kind of stone that Aunt Hengliang's grandmother's Xu Fu wanted to give to Miss at the beginning? The general is too careless, just put it together with the mess, what if it is broken? ”
Rong Changning took a look, it was the innocent red of the smoke, Xu Fu only felt dazzling when he held it in his hand in the past, but now when he looked at it, he was a little more hot and sincere.
Looking at it, he couldn't help but laugh, he must have known that Xu Fu had wanted to give him this thing: "Where did he hear about Chen Sesame Rotten Grain?" ”
Xiao Dong pursed his lips in an instant and blinked his eyes: "It was accidentally said by the slave maid when she was chatting with Jiang Ning." ”
"Then you were too careless?"
"Who knew he would tell it, General~" Xiao Dong looked at Rong Changning with innocent eyes: "That's right! If he tells me about General Bai, I will tell Miss too! Hi...... I was really careless, but fortunately, the young lady was frank and sloppy, and there was nothing to be afraid of the general knowing. ”
Rong Changning held his forehead and watched Xiao Dong take care of himself.
