Chapter 357: Freedom
The ghost was fascinated, he knew so well, he understood so well, but he still couldn't help but step into the small courtyard.
Shen Gui felt that he was not diligent, but he only came to eat a meal in three or two days, taro rubbed his eyes and opened the door, half of his hair was messy, he should have just woken up from a nap.
In the courtyard, Zheng Shuangshuang lay on a rattan chair, curled up in a small square quilt, sleeping like a baby.
Shen Gui didn't wake her up, just stood on the edge of the rattan chair and watched her quietly for a while.
Taro looked at him suspiciously, not knowing what Shen Gui was doing, she just wanted to speak, Shen Gui threw her a bag of things, and said in a low voice: "Close the door." And he departed lightly.
Taro looked at the bag of broken silver bulging in his hand, moved a stool and plugged in the door bolt, and when he turned around, he saw Zheng Shuangshuang waking up leisurely, and hurriedly ran to show her the silver.
Taro couldn't guess the relationship between the two at all, saying that it was intimate, but Shen Gui never stayed overnight, saying that it was polite, but when they sat at the same table and ate and put it, it really felt like a family.
Taro already knew that Shen Gui was a person with a wife, a concubine and a daughter, and Zheng Shuangshuang naturally knew it.
The two of them chatted about these things at the dinner table, Zheng Shuangshuang was always very calm, and from time to time he would persuade Shen Gui not to stick to small things, and life should be smooth after all.
Taro is very confused, but not curious, her temperament is like a fearless little wild cat, picked up and raised in this small courtyard, eating and drinking every day, wagging her tail, and guarding Zheng Shuangshuang's safe life, it is already very good.
When the price of Zheng Shuangshuang's embroidered handkerchief rose to ten cents a piece, the taro was so happy that he bounced home with a bag of pickled plums along the way, but the courtyard was scattered with disputes between Shen Gui and Zheng Shuangshuang.
Taro found a wall and sat down, stuffed a pickled plum into her mouth, listened to what they were arguing about, and after listening to two sentences, she understood, Zheng Shuangshuang wanted to leave the capital, but Shen Gui refused.
Zheng Shuangshuang has this idea for a day or two, and Taro asked her, why can't she go out? Zheng Shuangshuang said that he was a descendant of a big family, and he was afraid of being recognized, so he could only hide it.
Taro thinks it's not a lie, it's just that it's not all true, she has seen Zheng Shuangshuang write, she has seen her draw, how can she be just a subordinate?
She didn't go any further, but said, "Then let's go south." Then no one knows you, sister. ”
Zheng Shuangshuang thought only for a moment, and immediately nodded with a smile, Taro looked at the light in her eyes, knowing that she was unwilling to live in this small courtyard for the rest of her life.
The scattered silver given by Shen Gui, Zheng Shuangshuang did not excuse it, nor did he use it indiscriminately, the taro saw that she had saved it, and the money for her embroidered handkerchief, except for the daily expenses and the money to buy her snacks, Zheng Shuangshuang saved it one penny.
Taro knew that she had a plan, and she used half of the money to buy snacks to save half of it, and now she has saved half of it.
Zheng Shuangshuang's voice was very calm and a little helpless, but Shen Gui was very impatient and a little sad.
Taro listened and listened, I don't know why, I feel that Shen Gui is a little pitiful.
Until Shen Gui left angrily, Taro watched his back disappear, went to lock the courtyard door, and walked into the house hesitantly, Zheng Shuangshuang glanced at her, and said very calmly: "Are you back?" The shopkeeper didn't embarrass you this month. ”
"My sister's handkerchief sells the best, you are the God of Wealth of the shopkeeper, and the money is settled." Taro said, handing over a bunch of money to Zheng Shuangshuang.
Zheng Shuangshuang came out with a box, and the silver in it was a whole piece, she nodded, and said to the taro: "Count, we have more than one hundred taels." ”
Looking at Taro's wide eyes, Zheng Shuangshuang laughed, one hundred taels is just a few tables of banquet money for some people, but for some people, it is a lifetime that cannot be spent.
However, this hundred taels of miles, to say the least, nearly half of it was Shen Gui's piecemeal expenses, although she refused the silver ticket he gave, but in the end, she also received a great favor from him, and she couldn't change it in this life.
Then let's pay it back in the next life. Zheng Shuangshuang thought.
In this life, she really wanted to take a good breath.
After half a month, Shen Gui still came, after Taro opened the door for him, he seemed to be relieved, Zheng Shuangshuang came out to greet him, Shen Gui pretended to be evil and said evilly: "I thought you would say goodbye without saying goodbye, which is considered a little conscience." ”
Zheng Shuangshuang smiled and said softly, "I have to see you again." ”
Shen Guiqiang's coldness was melted by this sentence, and Taro heard him ask, "When are you going to leave?" ”
Zheng Shuangshuang said without thinking: "Autumn." ”
There was always half a cup of tea that I didn't hear any of them speak, and the taro squatted under the window, and his feet were numb.
"Your sister wants to see you." Shen Gui threw the last stone, hoping to make a little ripple in her heart.
But after the ripples, the pool surface returned to calm.
Zheng Shuangshuang seemed to take a deep breath and said, "Lord Wu still told my sister?" ”
"That's what I said, aren't you leaving? After leaving, I don't know when and when we can see each other again, I have to tell her. Your brother-in-law's mouth is very tight, and since I dug up the news, he has rotted in his stomach, but your sister seems to be angry with him because of this, and it is the first time I have seen them have an awkward quarrel. ”
It was rare to see some unhappiness between the two, and Shen Gui couldn't say schadenfreude in his heart.
He always felt that Wu Punishment and Zheng Lingyi were somewhat similar to him and Zheng Shuangshuang, but those two people had a good fate, and he and Zheng Shuangshuang were just falling leaves, and they had no fate.
Comparing the two sides, it is inevitable to be jealous.
The matter of going out of the city, in the end, was arranged by Shen Gui. He was a little worried that the two sisters would be inseparable, delay time, and take more risks, but unexpectedly, the two were calmer than the man.
Zheng Shuangshuang didn't even get out of the carriage, just lifted the curtain and glanced at it, Zheng Lingyi didn't cry, just stood in the roadside pavilion with Wu Xuan, and just looked at each other like this.
Taro also glanced at it, and only saw a man with a solemn and cold temperament, and a woman who looked a little similar to Zheng Shuangshuang, but was more beautiful.
Zheng Shuangshuang lowered the car curtain, the strength around her body seemed to be drained at once, she hung her head, her shoulders softened, and she cried silently.
Taro hugged her waist and said, "Sister, you still have my sister." ”
Zheng Shuangshuang touched her head and said, "I owe a lot to my sister, I owe a lot to my mother, and I owe him a lot." ”
"Brother Shen, I don't know what to say, but between relatives, I can't say whether I owe or not, right?" Taro recalled the only memory of his loved ones in his head, and came to this conclusion with little certainty.
Zheng Shuangshuang smiled bitterly, remembering the pool of blood flowers that were stuck on the brick floor, and said, "You don't understand." ”
Taro didn't understand, but Zheng Lingyi did.
Zheng Shuangshuang left her a long and long letter, the letter was trivial in Chinese, from childhood to entering the palace, Zheng Lingyi read and read it until dusk.
The door was gently pushed open, Zheng Lingyi didn't know who it was, and Jiang Sheng's lively voice came in, "Dad, go in and coax my mother!" ”
Zheng Lingyi smiled unconsciously, looked up and saw Wu Zhi walking in, Zheng Lingyi put away his smile again, Wu Zhi was obviously a little restrained, sat on the couch and watched her burn the letters one by one and throw them in the water bowl.
Zheng Lingyi is actually not angry with Wu Zhi for a long time, she knows too well what Wu Zhi thinks, Zheng Shuangshuang is indeed a hot potato, let people expose a little, it is estimated that I don't know how many people will quietly lose their lives, including her and the people she cares about the most, Wu Zhi is such an errand to do, how can he not know?
She burned the letters one by one, and the black patches in the water bowl were mottled.
Shuangmei said that she pushed her mother, but she just waved it, so that the strength was not very big, even if her mother fell, she should be able to protect the back of her head. She has thought about it all these years, Aunt Hua pretended to block between their mother and daughter at that time, and nine times out of ten she did it. ”
"This old thing, now lives a stable and nourishing life." Wu Zhi said coldly.
"yes, but even Shuangmei herself is not sure. In her letter, she said, perhaps, it was her repentance and speculation. ”
Zheng Lingyi thought about Zheng Shuangshuang's face embedded in the car window, but this time the confinement was temporary, she was finally free, but some things were involved.
Wu Zhi frowned, confused and messy, it was really difficult to do. There was a faint smell of wine on him, Zheng Lingyi smelled a little, and asked, "Why did you drink today?" ”
"My brother came to look for me, and we went to Yue Shilou to eat." Wu Zhi explained, paused, and said, "He said that he did the incident at Lu's Tea Shop. ”
Zheng Lingyi was not surprised, but a little anxious, and said, "I know, can there be any horses' feet?" ”
"There is a little clue that I don't even have a clue about, I can't find him, this kid can be regarded as practiced."
Seeing that Wu Zhi smiled easily, Zheng Lingyi was also a little relieved, and said: "I thought he was just pit the Lu family, but I didn't want him to even pull Zheng Rongan into the water." ”
"It's not that he did it, it's just pulling out the radish and bringing out the mud." Having said that, Wu Zhi naturally added fuel to the fire.
Lu's tea shop was originally sued, saying that they were shoddy, cheating people for money, because it also involved some official tea, so it was handed over to Dali Temple for investigation, Wu punished from the accounts to see some strange things, instructed people to dig deeper, and found that Lu's tea shop was used for bribery at all.
There is a difference between the price of tea, the price difference is more than 10 million, cheap tea is expensive to buy, and the difference in the middle price is sent to the place where you should be sent for you, among which the Ministry of Rites has also been contaminated with several bribes, which inevitably makes people think of Zheng Rongan.
"I'm afraid that tomorrow my father will be looking for you."
Zheng Lingyi estimated that he was a little more conservative, and as soon as the words fell, Lu Nong walked in and said to the two of them: "My lord, madam, someone from the Guogong Mansion invites you to go." ”
