A smile appeared on her pale face, after all, she loved him so much, so hopeful that fate would have a miracle and reverse everything that was originally wrong.

He kissed her heavily on the lips and said, "Listen, Ruojun, you can't give up on me again this time, you can't do it again like the time when the temple was broken, otherwise I will really go crazy, and I will marry ten women and come back to anger you." ”

A smile tugged at the corner of her mouth: "Where do you use ten?" One can me off. ”

He smiled even deeper: "I finally said something sincere." Then he kissed her on the forehead lovingly, and said, "I'll go and call the doctor." ”

The next few days in the hospital almost became the best time for the two, Zhou Ruikang rode a bicycle from the publishing house to a small restaurant near the hospital at noon every day, bought food and went up to have lunch with Ruojun, hurriedly finished eating, and rushed back to the publishing house, and rushed back to the hospital at a gallop after work, and sat until the nurse drove him out.

Ruojun felt sorry for his hard work and asked him not to come at noon, but Ruikang felt very happy and didn't want to waste a minute.

Ruikang happily brought a spoonful of soup to her mouth, and Ruojun took the bowl with a smile: "I'll do it myself." Eat quickly, or the food will be cold. ”

Ruikang smiled: "I like to feed you." ”

"You're going to spoil me. When the time comes, I'll ask for more and more, and you'll regret it. ”

"No, I'm afraid you don't have a request for me, tell me, what do you want me to do for you?" He asked with a smile, his eyes full of happiness.

She thought for a moment and said, "I want you to be healthy, happy, and happy for me." ”

"That's not easy, as long as you are with me every day, I will be happy and happy, and happy and happy people will naturally be healthy." The corners of his mouth lifted and he smiled, "I thought you would let me do laundry, cook, wash your feet and bathe for you." Haha"

Ruojun almost squirted out a mouthful of soup, so he hurriedly covered his mouth, swallowed the soup, slapped him lightly, and was also happy, and said with a smile: "You are really, you will talk nonsense." ”

"The doctor said I would be discharged tomorrow." She said.

Ruikang whispered in her ear, "I've already rented a small attic, I'll live there first." ”

"What?" She looked at him with wide eyes.

"Do you still want to go back to the Zhou family's compound?" He said hurriedly.

"This ......" she had no idea, although she had already made up her mind to be with Ruikang, but living with him so unjustifiably, she felt a sense of guilt in her heart, no matter how fierce their love was, no matter how great it was, but after all, they still had the title of "uncle and sister-in-law", she was still Zhou Ruian's wife, she lowered her head, and said a little hesitantly: "No...... It's just that my identity ......"

"I know, I'd better go back to the school and live, that little attic is for you." He looked at her meaningfully and smiled, "Where do you want to go?" ”

She was said by him, her face was red to the base of her neck, put down the bowl in her hand, lifted the quilt and got in, he saw that there was no one around, lifted the corner of the quilt from the side, and the upper body also got in, seeing her cover her face tightly, he couldn't help laughing, and poked her fingers lightly on her waist, she was afraid of itching, the whole person twisted up, put down his hand, blocked his fingers, the two made a fuss for a while, Ruojun had to poke his head out, laughed and panted, he pulled down the quilt, already held her face, kissed her lips.

After a long time, he looked at her and whispered seriously: "As long as you want me, I am yours, and I will always be." He lightly traced her dark and beautiful eyebrows with his fingers, and said, "I will go home and talk to the eldest brother first, I am willing to give up all the inheritance rights of the Zhou family's estate, and leave all of them to the eldest brother." He sighed.

"Ryan doesn't care about that, you know."

"I know, but I don't know how to compensate him. Ruojun, like you, I feel deeply ashamed of my eldest brother, but I can't lose you. There was a sadness in his eyes, it was a difficult choice, love and affection, he felt selfish, small, even mean, and bowed his head.

Why not? She looked at Ruikang distressedly, reached out and touched his hair, and said guiltily, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault." ”

He raised his head, smiled lightly, and said, "Since we have decided, let's go on bravely." ”

She sighed softly and snuggled up to his shoulder, and he pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly.

//

This year's Spring Festival, especially the cold wind, the big red lanterns at the gate of the Zhou family rotated in the wind, Master Zhou wore a satin jacket, a fur warm hat, and stood outside the door with a cane, looking at the flying red lanterns with a confused look, maybe he was not really looking at those lanterns, but the six hanging lanterns, symbolizing the "household pair" of the Zhou family's glorious family history.

Pieces of snow flew down in the wind, sticking to his face, eyebrows, beard, and glasses, making his eyes hazy. His eyes moved to the heavy black background gold lacquer door plaque, the two golden "Zhou Mansions", which made his heart even heavier, and the hundred-year-old white family he was proud of, the scholarly family, and the Shili House all gathered on these two shining gold lacquer characters, but now, he no longer has the face to face it.

Ruikang and Ruojun finally left regardless of morality and etiquette, and the reputation of the Zhou family for a hundred years was ruined by his most beloved and most high-hopeful son, of course, in his heart, he felt that all the faults were Mei Ruojun's, Ruikang must have been tempted, seduced, he was too young, Mei Ruojun was too charming. As soon as Master Zhou thought of this terrible fact, he felt dizzy, his body shook twice in the cold wind, and Zhou Fu ran out to help him.

Master Zhou looked at Zhou Fu sadly, but it reminded him of another woman, the woman who was between him and Zhou Fu ten years ago, Quexi, he didn't know how he suddenly remembered Quexi, probably because Quexi and Mei Ruojun have too many similarities, they both have beautiful faces, and they are both swaying left and right between the two men, and they have both thrown into the lotus pond......

"Zhou Fu, have you ever thought about Magpie?" Master Zhou suddenly asked in a deep voice.

Zhou Fu was taken aback by Master Zhou's sudden sensibility, raised his eyes to look at him, and for a long time, he squirmed his lips and said, "Yes." ”

"Well......" Master Zhou sighed, looked up at the door plaque and said: "Although you and I are masters and servants, we are like brothers, you are loyal to me, and I also trust you, but there is one thing that I have hidden from you for a long time." Now that the Zhou family's reputation has been ruined, I don't have to worry about anything anymore. ”

Master Zhou pointed to the grove in front of him with his crutches, and the two walked over slowly.

"Back then, I once wanted to make a second room for Naquexi." Master Zhou sighed.

"I know."

"What? You know? Master Zhou stopped and looked at him with some surprise.

"Yes, when she was embroidering cigarette pouches, I guessed that seven or eight were successful, and after she left, I saw that you really used that cigarette pouch, and I already understood it in my heart." Zhou Fu raised his head and looked into the distance and sighed.

"You don't hate me?"

Zhou Fu lowered his head, laughed dryly, shook his head and said, "How come, you are the master, if Quexi follows you, it will be her blessing, but unfortunately she is blessed." ”

"The most important thing for a woman is to start from the beginning, and if she vacillates between you and me, it is naturally a matter of bad luck."

Zhou Fu was stunned, stopped, looked at Master Zhou suspiciously, and said, "Swinging? Magpie? ”

"Isn't it? She swore an oath with you on the one hand, and on the other hand, she was affectionate with me, such a woman, how could I want it? ”

"Sir? Who are you listening to? Zhou Fu looked at Master Zhou in surprise and said, "The person you like has always been you!" ”

This time it was Master Zhou's turn to be stunned and turned his head to look at Zhou Fu.

Zhou Fu showed a painful and helpless look on his face, shook his head and said: "I fell in love with Magpie Xi back then, but Magpie never promised me, I often saw her face full of sorrow, so I wanted to relieve her, she once looked at the sparrow on the ground and said: 'Even if it flies on the branch, it is a sparrow after all'......"

"No, no, no, wait, wait......" Master Zhou frowned and asked, "You mean that Magpie has never shown favor to you?" ”

"No, Magpie told me clearly that she has a heart and has no idea of me." Zhou Fu said: "I kept asking her who that person was, but she just cried sadly, but she didn't tell me." Then one day, my wife suddenly called us into the hall and pointed out the magpie to me in public. I was overjoyed, but magpie was sad. Just a few days before the wedding, I saw her embroidering a cigarette pouch, crying while embroidering, but I was so happy at the time, I didn't think much about it, I thought I had to be good to her, one day she would like me, she would be happy, but ...... But...... Wedding night......" Zhou Fu lowered his head and sighed heavily, his tone a little choked.

Master Zhou's mood became heavy, and he asked again: "But Yanxi said that I saw you having a tryst in the back garden for two nights......

"Where does this start?" Zhou Fu's eyes widened, and he waved his hand and said, "Master, cough...... To tell you the truth, Yanxi has always been interested in me, and I guess she made it up because of jealousy. Everyone knows that the Zhou family has strict rules, and it is forbidden to enter the back garden at night, how dare I have a tryst with Magpie Xi at night? Sir, I can swear to God, there is no such thing. ”

"Ahem, don't say it, I believe you." Master Zhou waved his hand, sighed and said, "There are no more people, it's been ten years, and it's in vain to mention that old account again." ”

The two walked for a while before turning back, and from a distance, Master Zhou looked at the magnificent Zhou family compound, which looked so clean and withered in the snow, and seemed to have a sense of decadence, which made him have a bad premonition in his heart, and he was very unsteady.

He couldn't help but think: The confused account ten years ago is so similar to today's family ugliness, is everything now caused by his negligence and ruthlessness? Is this what karma is called? Is the ghost of Magpie still wandering by the lotus pond?

He remembered that since Quexi's death, he hadn't even worshiped her, and he hadn't even put a stick of incense on her, maybe today's Zhou family's ugliness was because of Quexi's unjust soul, or maybe this was the reason why the Zhou family's house was restless, he quickened his pace, and said: "Go home quickly, prepare some ingots candle paper money, and go to the lotus pond to make a sacrifice." ”

"Master, master, it's only the eighth day of the first month today, this ......"

"Leave him alone, go get ready."

"Yes."

As soon as the two walked into the gate, Yan Xi ran out of the yard, saw Master Zhou, stepped forward and said loudly in a panic: "Master, it's not good, my wife and the eldest young master are sick." ”

"What? How could they all be sick? ”

"Just now the wife and the eldest young master didn't know what they were talking about in the house, the two quarreled, and then cried again, and when the wife returned to Yilan Xiaozhu, she said that her chest was tight, and she fell on the bed. The eldest young master also fell to the ground and injured his leg. ”

"Ah, how can this be, let Zhou Gui go and ask the doctor, Zhou Fu, you hurry up and do what you just ordered."

Master Zhou hurriedly ran into the courtyard of the Zhou family, passed by the study and hurriedly glanced at his son, only to see him lying on the bed, there was a bruise at the corner of his mouth, his right hand held his forehead, covering his eyes, the corners of his mouth kept twitching, his thin body was like a deflated ball, leaning on the back of the bed, his pain overflowed from his body from the inside out, and he could be deeply infected without looking at his face.

Master Zhou was distressed and angry, he didn't know how to comfort his troubled son, this family business was promoted for him, and now in this situation, as a father, what else can he say except self-blame. He didn't go in again, sighed secretly, he retreated, looked up to the sky and shook his head, really hoping that the goose feather white snowflakes could wash away the shame of the Zhou family.

He hurried back to Yilan Xiaozhu, where Mrs. Zhou was lying on the bed, her face pale, covering her heart, frowning, and sighing.

"Shulan, how are you?"

"My heart hurts, and my chest is tight."

"I've already sent Zhou Gui to find a doctor. Don't worry. Master Zhou sat on the edge of the bed and looked at his wife.

Mrs. Zhou sighed and said faintly, "Master, what can I do about this?" Ryan said that he wanted to divorce Ruojun. ”

"Divorce?!" Master Zhou sat up straight, his eyes glaring at the boss, as if he had heard an incredible anecdote.

"Yes, he wants to fulfill Ruikang, poor stupid boy......" Mrs. Zhou couldn't help but hide her face and cry before she finished speaking, and covered her mouth with a handkerchief.

"Does he still think that our Zhou family is not ashamed enough? Uncle and sister-in-law adultery is not counted, what kind of divorce is there now? It's unheard of. There should never be a divorce in a family like ours. No way! Old Man Zhou yelled angrily.

Mrs. Zhou's eyes were red from crying, and she shook her head and said, "How can this be? Wasn't everything supposed to be normal? Ryan and Ruojun have been able to get along in harmony, and Ruikang also has Miss Xu, how did it suddenly become like this? I don't understand, I don't understand! Sir, did we marry a vixen and come back? How could she bewitch our two sons like this? ”

"Humph! Ruikang is willing to fall, I should not have given birth to this son, since they are gone, they are no longer members of our Zhou family, and he will never be allowed to return to this home. ”

"Sir! I can't bear it, I can't bear it! Ruikang is a good boy, our son, he is deluded, you can't drive him away anymore, you have to get him back. ”

"Oops, I asked Zhou Fu to look for it a long time ago, and the hospital said that they were discharged four days ago, and then they disappeared." Master Zhou patted his thigh, with a sad expression.

"Oh my God, they're going to have done something unethical, right?" Mrs. Zhou nervously pulled Master Zhou's sleeve.

Master Zhou sighed: "It's hard to say, lonely men and widows, and Ruikang is strong, Ruojun is Chu Chu and moving......"

"Although Ruikang is young and enthusiastic, he is a very self-controlled child, and I don't think he will take the initiative. If something happens, it must be that vixen...... If you really ....... master, how can this be done, what should we do with Ryan? Mrs. Zhou said that there was another sharp pain in her heart, and her whole body spasmed, and Master Zhou hurriedly asked her to lie down and comforted: "It's okay, it's okay, don't think so much, let's marry Ryan again." ”

Mrs. Zhou frowned, covered her heart, and shook her head, she knew in her heart that Ryan had long been in love with Mei Ruojun and would not agree to marry another room at all, but she was so uncomfortable that she couldn't speak anymore, so she had to close her eyes and rest.
