In a blink of an eye, Yang Baodai has been back in Qinghua for two months, Qinghua Town in autumn can see maple trees all over the field, early autumn still has some summer residual temperature, the afternoon sun is still a little stinging, but compared to the fireworks in the capital, Qinghua Town seems very quiet.

In the yard, Yang Baodai was wearing a two-color long gown, combing a small hairpin with a simple red gold hairpin, after giving birth, she was slightly fatter, and there was a milky fragrance on her body, she sat on a small chair, holding Sister Chun who got up from a nap to bask in the sun under the eaves, and she was still holding a fan in her hand, fanning two fans from time to time, and beckoning the mosquitoes who bullied her daughter away.

Yang Baodai raised her eyes and looked at the ginkgo trees in the yard, which were still green, waiting to look at the golden one in the cold, and I don't know how beautiful it was.

She returned to the small courtyard that Qinghua Town had originally purchased, the old lady of the Liu family arranged it very properly, and gave several pairs of children's anklets, Yang Tofu decided to continue to do the old business and continue to buy tofu, but she was afraid of arguing with Yang Baodai and her little granddaughter, so she decided to open it later, but some people in the town are greedy for Yang Tofu's craftsmanship, and they will buy some every day, and then the county order of Qinghua Town will come to visit every three or five times, saying that Zhao Yuanzhi asked her to take care of it more.

Although Yang Baodai came back in a low-key manner, there were still many squires who came to visit, although they said that they had been reconciled, but looking at the eldest daughter of Yang Baodai who was now the elder of the pavilion, many people still hoped to cling to each other and strive to plan a good future for their children and grandchildren. In particular, Yang Baoyuan is still a good man, and many local rich people want to recruit him to be his uncle.

At the gate of the Yang family's courtyard, there were people handing out folds every day, and Yang Baodai mostly ignored them, he felt that these people would be at peace after a while.

There are a few local slaves in the small courtyard, plus the Sheng family Xiaosi guards who came over, it is enough to serve, just waiting for Sister Chun to be older, or to find a gentleman, it is best to find a female gentleman to teach the Four Books and Five Classics, the female worker knits the best of Grandma Sun, and the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting should also let Sister Chun learn some, Yang Baodai is unconsciously thinking about what kind of uncle she will find for Sister Chun in the future.

At this time, Yang Baoyuan came back.

"Sister." Yang Baoyuan came in from outside dressed in moon white, carrying a lot of things in his hands, and smiled sharply: "Liu Ji's lo-mei, I remember that you used to love to eat it and bought a lot." ”

Yang Baodai greeted him with a smile, Yang Baoyuan handed over the things to the next person, and happily stepped forward to pick up his little niece, kissed her big, and coaxed her: "Smile at your uncle, uncle will take him out shopping and buy you candy." "Yang Baoyuan likes this little niece very much.

Sister Chun has been 100 days old, her facial features are a little opener, her eyes are like Yang Baodai, and the rest of her facial features and face shape are a living Zhao Yuanzhi, Yang Tofu has previously said about Zhao Yuanzhi's appearance, "If Zhao Yuanzhi is a girl, no one will want to be friends with him, and the appearance is as if it came out of the painting." ’

This sentence is very face-saving to describe Sister Chun's future appearance.

Sister Chun looked at her handsome uncle, smiling and grabbing the white jade lock on her neck and shaking it, her eyes were shining, Yang Baoyuan couldn't love it, she hugged her niece and raised it high in the air, Sister Chun laughed extremely loudly, and when the grandmother on that end saw this, she was so frightened that she almost ascended to heaven on the spot, and immediately her voice became louder: "Brother Yuan!" Don't do this to a little doll! "It's a shame if you don't catch it.

"Girls can't be raised too squeamish! Besides, we Sister Chun like it, don't you? Yang Baoyuan hugged Sister Chun and lifted it twice, Grandma Sun was about to grab the doll immediately, Yang Baoyuan hugged her little niece in the yard to hide from Grandma Sun, and finally begged for mercy: "Okay, okay, I won't lift her, Mama, you can be careful, when the time comes, Sister Chun and I will fall, and my sister doesn't know how to feel sorry for that first!" ”

Yang Baodai couldn't laugh, shook her fan and said loudly, "Okay, don't be naughty, they are all people who are going to be admitted to the Jinshi." ”

Yang Baoyuan handed the doll to Mama Sun, walked up to Yang Baodai and pulled a little vulture and sat down.

Yang Baodai fanned her: "Don't fall behind in your studies." Now that he has gone to the academy in the town to be a gentleman, Yang Baodai has not asked about his private affairs, anyway, this person is happy.

"By the way, I want to renovate our old house so that I can go back to live in the future." Yang Baoyuan ate the rice cake next to him and said.

"Okay." Yang Baodai nodded, no one has been to the old house for several years, and now that she is back, she naturally wants to repair it. "It's up to you."

She was about to say something else, when she saw a girl running outside in a hurry.

"What's wrong? Who's making trouble at our house, isn't it? Yang Baoyuan said in a deep voice, his eyes changed, he had already given an order before, the trivial matters of the mansion were not allowed to bother Yang Baodai, he got up and asked people to follow him to the side, Yang Baodai looked at his brother's fierce appearance, and spoke: "You come in and say." "She's not a lady, she should know about things at home.

The girl handed over a letter and said respectfully: "The person who came to deliver the letter said that he wanted Mrs. to see it herself." ”

Yang Baodai took it, looked at the words on the envelope, and immediately raised her eyes to look at Yang Baoyuan.

Yang Baoyuan was looking at the flowers and birds embroidered in the chaochao dynasty, and when he saw that his sister's eyes were wrong, he immediately walked over.

"It's your handwriting." Yang Baodai said softly that she sent a letter to the capital when she returned to Qinghua Town, and Zhang Guier replied that she was unwell and did not want to come.

The letter was opened, and there was no content on it, and it was said that it had arrived in Fuzhou, and it would be possible to arrive in Qinghua Town the day after tomorrow.

"Gui'er is here!" Yang Baodai stood up, blinked her eyes, looked at the contents of the letter a few more times with certainty, and hurriedly greeted: "Chaochao, hurry, vacate the wing room next to me, Gui'er is coming, open the warehouse again, organize it well, and then go outside to find two cooks in the capital." ”

Zhang Guier is a child raised in the capital, so he can't be sloppy.

Yang Baoyuan pinched the letter paper for a long time and couldn't calm down, and it took a long time before he said: "I'll go and arrange it, you can take Sister Chun with peace of mind." Without waiting for Yang Baodai to speak, he left with Xiao Si.

***

Zhang Guier This is the first time to go out by herself, from the capital to Fuzhou waterway on half a month, she didn't feel seasick, used to be with other girls boating on the lake, who knows that only three days of waterway, she was dizzy and couldn't stand still and spit out sour water, and he didn't want to delay time, just kept taking medicine, and finally couldn't hold on, before going ashore in Fuzhou, otherwise he would directly transfer the boat to the small wharf outside Qinghua Town.

The mountain path in Qinghua Town.

Zhang Gui'er sat in the carriage, leaning on Yan Ci with a drowsy head, accompanied by an old woman, looking at the weak Zhang Gui'er and feeling distressed, she said: "Girl, why is this, we should all take care of it in Fuzhou." ”

Zhang Gui'er took half a sip of the tea handed over by Yan Ci, and didn't answer Mama's words, so she asked, "But have you arrived?" ”

Yan Ci opened the curtain of the carriage and asked outside, and whispered to her: "The girl will sleep for a while by the slave maid, and there is still half an hour to go." ”

Zhang Gui'er stopped talking, closed her eyes and endured dizziness and nausea.

Outside Qinghua Town, Yang Baodai was pinching a sweat towel and looking at the road, and Chao Chao ran from the front very excited, "It's here, it's here!" ”

The carriage stopped, Yang Baodai looked at the person who opened the curtain with a smile, and saw Yan Ci say to her with a bitter face: "Madam, our girl is a little unwell. ”

Yang Baodai's smile stopped abruptly, and immediately got into the carriage, touched Zhang Guier's still somewhat hot cheeks, her eyes changed, and she exclaimed: "What's wrong?" How did the good end get sick. ”

"The girl is seasick." Yan Ci is also sobbing.

Yang Baodai felt that Zhang Gui'er was weak, so she immediately instructed Chaochao: "Go find a doctor." ”

Zhang Gui'er opened her eyes again, only to feel that her throat was very dry, and she muttered: "Water, Yan Ci, I'm thirsty." ”

Yang Baoyuan leaned on the side of the bed and held her hand, listened to her voice and immediately sat up, busy looking at her situation, "Gui'er, what do you want?" ”

Zhang Gui'er was dizzy, and said weakly: "Water, thirsty." ”

Yang Baoyuan hurriedly poured tea for him, held the person in his arms, carefully fed her water, and said slowly, "It's a little cold, you drink a little." This man fell asleep for three days, and his soul was almost scared out.

Zhang Guier, who drank the water, closed her eyes again and fell asleep.

After the doctor came to check the pulse, he gave the injection twice, and said: "It's okay, take good care of it, the patient is caused by seasickness and constantly taking strong medicine, this patient is so anxious to come, but what happened?" The doctor got up to pack the medicine box, and finally explained: "In short, you must not be tired." ”

Yang Baodai nodded and personally sent the doctor out, went back to the house and looked at Yang Baoyuan, who was covering Zhang Guier's back, and said: "You have been guarding for three days, hurry up and go back to rest, I am here to watch her, and I will send someone to call you when she wakes up." ”

Yang Baoyuan shook his head, held Zhang Gui'er's hand, and was unmoved, "It's okay, I'm fine here, you go and watch Sister Chun." ”

"Obedient, why don't you go and change your clothes, wait for Gui'er to open up, are you going to stink her to death?" Yang Baodai patted her younger brother on the shoulder.

Yang Baoyuan was moved: "Then I'll change my clothes and come." ”

After another two hours, Zhang Gui'er slowly opened her eyes, she looked at the ceiling and was stunned for a long time, then suddenly got up, and her hoarse voice shouted: "Yan Ci!" ”

"Are you awake?" Yang Baodai was sitting under the window making winter clothes for Sister Chun, seeing Zhang Gui'er sitting up and frightened, she brought her a cup of hot tea and handed it over, and said softly: "You have slept for three days, why didn't you tell me before you came, obviously seasick still have to take the waterway, is there anything uncomfortable, I have already sent someone to Fuzhou to find another doctor to come and see, Gui'er?" She looked at Zhang Gui'er staring at her blankly, sat next to it with a smile, and touched her head: "What's wrong?" ”

Zhang Guier found out that she was in a clean room, she took the tea handed by Yang Baodai, moistened her throat, and listened to Yang Baodai say: "I boiled fish soup for you, I'll bring it in for you." ”

Zhang Gui'er nodded: "Okay." ”

Waiting for the fish soup to be drunk, something in front of her called Yang Baodai away, Zhang Gui'er watched Chao Chao come over with a dumpling to greet her, "This is Sister Chun." ”

Zhang Gui'er glanced at Yan Ci, Yan Ci hurriedly took out a small box from the luggage and handed it over, Zhang Gui'er said: "This is the gold collar I bought for my child, but it is not as expensive as the jade lock on her neck, but I can usually wear it." She touched the jade lock, looked at the sleeping Sister Chun and touched her face, she really looked like Zhao Yuanzhi.

Chao Chao said, "This is from the young master." ”

Zhang Gui'er sighed, "He has the ability, and he actually got what a good jade." ”

Chao Chao hurriedly added a sentence when he heard her tone, "It was sent by Lord Zhao, we chased after it on the day we left, glanced at Sister Chun'er, gave the jade lock and went back." ”

Zhang Gui'er was slightly stunned when she heard this, and then heard the announcement from outside that Yang Baoyuan had come in.

Zhang Gui'er's eyes suddenly changed, and her voice became louder: "I want to tell him alone, you stay away, Yan Ci, you go and guard the door." ”

Yang Baoyuan walked in, looked at the person who lifted the quilt and got up, and said, "Your body is still weak, lie down first." ”

Zhang Gui'er got up and walked in front of Yang Baoyuan, raised his hand and slapped him in the face.

Yang Baoyuan looked at the angry-eyed man.

He took advantage of Zhang Guier, which he deserved.

"Hit it until you get angry." Yang Baoyuan looked at her and said bluntly: "I want to take my sister to leave the capital safely, and only this method can drag Zhao Yuanzhi back." "Except for Zhang Gui'er, no one could get close to Zhao Yuanzhi at that time.

Zhang Guier's tears suddenly emerged, she tried her best to endure it, tugged at Yang Baoyuan's collar, and said with a hoarse voice: "Do you know, do you know that Zhao Yuanzhi disappeared in the northwest." ”

"Just because of the things you asked me to put in his study, he was framed for collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, he went to the northwest, and he wanted to use the northwest victory to prove his loyalty to the imperial court."

"Half a month ago, Zhao Yuanzhi led his men and horses to pursue the fleeing enemy leader, but he was ambushed, and there was no news of him, because the bones were not found, so it was written that he was missing."

After hearing this, Yang Baoyuan felt extremely inconceivable, what he did in this bureau was to leave room for him, how could Zhao Yuanzhi have been in the officialdom for many years, it was absolutely impossible to do such a reckless death, he looked at Zhang Guier, and was also shocked: "How is it possible, he has more ways to leave himself alone, how can he go to the battlefield!" He is a civilian official, how can there be a first assistant to go to the battlefield! ”

"He took the initiative to ask Ying, and he and Luo Xuanxue took 100,000 soldiers and horses to support." Zhang Gui'er couldn't see any expression on her face, she said coldly: "It was you who killed Brother Yuanzhi." ”

Yang Baoyuan didn't speak for a long time. It was an ending he hadn't expected at all.

Zhang Gui'er looked at him with ice in his eyes, and said word by word: "I came all the way to tell you that if Brother Yuan Zhen is really dead, I will kill you and bury him, I wiped my neck to admit my mistake to him!" ”

"Do you know that the jade lock around your niece's neck was given by Brother Yuan Zhen, and on the day your sister left the capital, he didn't stop your sister from leaving." Zhang Gui'er hammered Yang Baoyuan's heart hard, and her heart almost cried blood: "Yang Baoyuan, you promised me, you promised me, you said that thing would not endanger Brother Yuan's life!" How can I believe you, I want to help you so much, you use me, you lie to me······"

Yang Baoyuan let Zhang Gui'er vent his anger on her, knowing that he felt that the strength of hitting him was smaller, and then he hugged the person in his arms, he kissed Zhang Gui'er's hair, and his voice trembled a little: "Don't tell my sister about this." He took Zhang Gui'er's arms and said very seriously: "I will bring Zhao Yuanzhi back, and I will bring you back one by one." ”

Yang Baoyuan's mind was still a little confused

- Zhao Yuanzhi is a fox into a thing, how can he die! How could he possibly do something to send him to death!

Zhang Guier's tears fell down, and she couldn't cry anymore.

Yang Baoyuan wiped away her tears: "I'll go to the northwest-" But Zhang Gui'er definitely didn't lie to him like this.

"I hate you!" Zhang Gui'er interrupted him, pushed him away, and said angrily: "Yang Baoyuan, you are not as good as Zhao Yuanzhi, at least Zhao Yuanzhi has never thought of using your sister, I like you, you rely on me to like you, you use me, you bastard!" ”

Yang Baoyuan shook his head and explained to her desperately: "Gui'er, I really just want Zhao Yuanzhi to have no time to separate, I didn't expect him to go to the northwest, this is not his personality." ”

He is clear to Zhang Guier! Otherwise, what is he working hard to study and become famous!

"Yang Baoyuan, you-" Zhang Gui'er was so angry that his eyes suddenly darkened.

Yang Baoyuan looked at the person who was fainting with emotion, hurriedly picked him up and put him on the bed, and shouted outside: "Yan Ci, call the doctor!" Gui'er fainted! ”

Hearing the news, Yang Baodai ran out of front in a hurry, she was worried and didn't believe it, so she hurriedly asked people to fetch water in, and scolded Yang Baoyuan: "Didn't I tell you not to mess with her!?" ”

Yang Baoyuan looked at Yang Baodai quietly.

If Zhao Yuanzhi was killed because of him, not only Zhang Guier, but also Yang Baodai would not forgive him.

He'll have to go to the Northwest to see.

If Zhao Yuanzhi is really dead, then he will avenge Zhao Yuanzhi and come back to fight with his life.

Yang Baodai remembered the doctor's entrustment, and was about to personally choose two girls to serve, when she watched Yang Tofu come, "Baoyuan packed up his baggage and went out, what's going on?" ”

"He's still angry, I'll say that he dares to run away from home with two words!" Yang Baodai laughed angrily: "Don't worry about him, I'll know how to come back when I'm angry enough." ”

Yang Tofu also felt that this made sense, anyway, his son was older, and he couldn't keep it, so he looked at Zhang Gui'er worriedly: "It's all thin like this, Yang Baoyuan's dead cub, I won't kill him when I look at it." ”

My sweetheart came all the way and was dizzy! It's just no one!

On the other end, Yang Baoyuan traveled lightly and quickly out of Qinghua Town.

He's going to the northwest.

He didn't believe that Zhao Yuanzhi would be stupid enough to send him to death!

Not far away, under the shade of a tree, stood three people and three horses.

Zhao Yuanzhi looked at the people who were going out of the town quickly, squinted his eyes, and said to Li Ming: "Flying pigeon to Luo Xuanxue, give me a good cleanup of this wolf cub!" I am not allowed to come back in the Northwest without my permission! "Fight with Lao Tzu, you're still tender.

He still had to let this wolf cub know what it meant to be cocooned!

Li Tong looked at his master: "Then let's go to find Mrs. and go home?" ”

Zhao Yuanzhi flicked the armrest of his sleeve and said, "Otherwise? Take you out to see the scenery? Can't get enough of the Northwest? ”
