Chapter 43: Hibernation
A person's life is always boring, and after Xia Chutao moved out of the General's Mansion, his surroundings suddenly became a lot colder.
At this time, she was lying on the windowsill and looking at the lotus flowers outside, absentmindedly scattering the fish food in her hand into the lake, regardless of whether there were fish eating or not.
And at the beginning of summer, Tao's gaze looking into the distance was also very sad.
"Little Peach, why don't you go out for a walk?"
"On the third day of Fu Rin's absence, I miss him, I miss him, I miss him......"
"Little Peach, are you thinking about spring?"
Fans are half right, since Xia Chutao came here, Fu Rin didn't come to see her every other two days as agreed.
Xia Chutao felt dissatisfied in her heart, and she had clearly asked the people around her to transfer the matter of almost being killed to Fu Rin before.
But why has so many days passed, but there has been no movement at all, Fu Rin did not come, and he did not bring any message.
In fact, don't say it's Fu Rin, Xia Chutao hasn't seen anyone else except for the people he brought with him in the past few days.
This made Xia Chutao very suspicious of life.
Thinking of Xia Chutao, she was lying on the windowsill with some frustration, listless, muttering authentically,
"Fu Rin won't lie to me, but he really drove me out of the General's Mansion......"
Just as Xia Chutao was thinking this, Xia Chutao seemed to faintly hear the sound of horses' hooves. She jerked her head up, and saw in the distance a palatial carriage slowly approaching her.
At the beginning of the summer, Tao looked at it, and the people who followed in front of the carriage were slaves and maids, and at a glance, he knew that it was not Fu Rin.
At the beginning of summer, Tao propped up her body, and couldn't help but think in her heart:
Apart from Fu Rin, who else knows that I live in this place?
Just as Xia Chutao was thinking so, Bizhu hurriedly came in and said to Xia Chutao,
"Little lady, hurry up and get ready, Madam is here."
"Ma'am?"
At the beginning of the summer, Tang picked up the distant mountains and eyebrows that he carefully depicted, so the person who came here was full spring?
Xia Chutao remembered that she hadn't seen Man Chun since the last time she tested herself.
When I asked the people below, I always said that my wife was sick. But at the beginning of summer, Tao remembered that when she saw Manchun, her vigorous posture didn't look like a person who lingered on the sickbed all year round.
"Yes, little lady, you better hurry up and prepare."
Bizhu's words pulled Xia Chutao out of her thoughts, and she looked at the team that was already not far from the gate, and nodded.
"I see, you go down and get some tea."
"Yes."
Xia Chutao looked at her decent appearance in the mirror, and felt that it was not rude to greet the full spring with herself like this.
Then Xia Chutao, supported by Bizhu and Qiaoyun, came to the front of the team, and happened to see Man Chun carefully helped out of the carriage by the maid.
Maybe it's because she wants to go out and doesn't want to swagger, but she is dressed very plain today, but she still can't hide her natural beauty, and she is still bright and amazing at that glance.
"I've seen Madame, Madame is healthy."
Xia Chutao took Bizhu and Qiaoyun behind him to salute together, his voice was tactful and elegant, and his posture was dignified and elegant, which looked very the same thing.
"Xia Xiaoniang hasn't seen her for a long time."
Man Chun got out of the carriage, with a smile on the corner of his mouth and a soft voice.
"Are you used to living here these days?"
"Thank you, madam, for your concern, the general's choice is naturally good."
Although she didn't know what Manchun was here for, Xia Chutao still answered her questions respectfully.
"It's just that there is only one person in this huge courtyard, and it's really lonely."
Man Chun covered his mouth and chuckled, his bright eyes seemed to shatter the daylight and enter, which was very good-looking.
"My sister is all to avoid the limelight, although she is wronged by living here, she has to suffer first, right?"
Xia Chutao was stunned, listening to Man Chun's tone, she knew the true reason for this matter, and hurriedly said,
"It's not a grievance, but it makes the general and his wife worry about it."
"It's not enough to worry about it, it was the general who came to see you today, and these strange things and objects are also from the general to you. It's just that the general was temporarily called by the emperor to discuss matters, so he replaced me. ”
Xia Chutao looked behind Man Chun, and couldn't help but be embarrassed, the things that these people were carrying were all given to her by Fu Rin......
"I'm tired of Madame."
At the beginning of the summer, Tao smiled, a little embarrassed: This full spring is here to repay the favor for Fu Rin.
"Fine."
Man Chun didn't seem to put it in his heart at all, smiled at Xia Chutao, and asked,
"Can Xia Xiaoniang come into the house and talk?"
At the beginning of Xia, Tao was mentioned by Man Chun like this, and then he realized that he actually stopped Man Chun from standing outside for so long.
"Yes, yes, come into the house and talk."
Xia Chutao hurriedly brought Man Chun into the house, Man Chun carefully looked at the layout of the house, and nodded approvingly.
"The layout is very delicate and novel, worthy of you. If it weren't for the fact that there were many things to deal with in the house, I would be happy to live here every day and try to be quiet. ”
After Man Chun sat down at the table, Xia Chutao hurriedly withdrew the people around him.
She wouldn't fail to hear what Manchun meant before that he wanted to talk to her alone.
Seeing that Xia Chutao was so able to understand what he meant, Man Chun smiled, then picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then continued to Xia Chutao,
"Sister, sit down too, I just have something to ask you."
Xia Chutao sat down according to Manchun's meaning, her vigilance against Manchun was not so great, Xia Chutao's intuition told her that Manchun was the only person in the entire General's Mansion who would not harm herself.
"I've heard from the person who came to the newspaper to say, Xia Xiaoniang, you encountered someone stabbing you a few nights ago, is there any serious problem in your body? Did you get hurt somewhere? ”
Xia Chutao looked at Man Chun, who seemed to be really concerned about herself, and could only reply with a smile,
"Madame, do you think I look like someone in trouble? I just wonder who sent these people and why they're targeting me? ”
"Hmmm......"
Man Chun, who was drinking tea, obviously groaned for a moment, and an imperceptible light under his eyes just crossed it. After a long time, Man Chun opened his mouth,
"I don't know where the assassin came from, but I'm afraid he did come for the general. You're the one next to the general in front of you, but it's the best thing to do. ”
"General?"
Xia Chutao suddenly remembered that when he first saw Fu Rin, he was being chased and killed by the man in black.
It's just that those people's skills were much better at that time, otherwise they wouldn't be as embarrassed as Xia Chutao saw.
"General, who does this have a deep grudge against? Why do I think there are so many people who want to harm him? After all, it's not once or twice like this. ”
Xia Chutao wanted to know who Fu Rin had offended and why there were always people who wanted to harm him.
"It's not a lot."
Man Chun suddenly sneered, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"The general of this town looks very beautiful, and on the surface, the general is also above 10,000 people under one person. But it's really because of this no-man's top that it is more and more dangerous, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at him, wanting to watch him make mistakes, watching him fall into the abyss, and never recover. ”
At the beginning of summer, the peach was said by Man Chun, and he couldn't help but fight a cold war.
"It's the most poisonous...... But it's the human heart. ”
After Man Chun said this, a cup of tea happened to be drunk, and the cup was put down and slammed on the table to make a crisp sound.
"Xia Xiaoniang, now you are the person on the tip of the general's heart." Saying that, Man Chun gently held Xia Chutao's hand, and his tone was deep.
"I've never seen a general so concerned about anyone."
"The general has been dealing with things inside and out all year round, but he only lets you get close."
Man Chun's words made Xia Chutao's heart move, and when she said this, she really remembered a lot of Fu Rin's kindness to herself.
"You've got to ...... well"
As he spoke, Man Chun patted Xia Chutao's hand and spoke seriously.
"Yes......"
Although this is a bit like the old mother's explanation, Man Chun does have some truth in what he said......
Sometimes Xia Chutao looked at Fu Rin's back, and felt that this person was standing on a cold high place, never close to people, and very lonely.
"There is also the matter of Cuiyan, the general has not forgotten about this matter, but he is still investigating."
Man Chun didn't leave Fu Rin in ten sentences, it sounded like Fu Rin knew in advance that she would be resentful and find Man Chun to explain it for him.
"It's not easy for the general inside and outside here. When the time is about right, it is estimated that this house will have to change the day, and you can go back then. ”
"...... going back?"
Xia Chutao was stunned, she originally thought that Fu Rin would put herself here like a golden house, but she didn't plan to let her go back.
"What does this mean when it's going to be a different day......"
"You probably don't know, do you? Now the old lady of the General's Mansion is not the general's biological mother, but the general's former mother. In fact, if you want to go back to the past, the general is just a concubine, and his mother is also an inconspicuous concubine, and he is angry with many old ladies. ”
At the beginning of summer, Tao looked at Man Chun steadily, and did not expect to be able to hear some of Fu Rin's previous secrets.
"The general was not easy in the hands of the old woman back then, as the mother of the general's mansion, the old lady has always held the entire general's mansion tightly in her hands. Even now, sometimes it can be pressed over the general's head. ”
The spring onion-like nails knocked on the cup, and then continued,
"The so-called mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings."
"If you want to change the sky, it naturally means that the general will purge the general's mansion, and then the power will completely fall into the hands of the general."
Man Chun looked at Xia Chutao and showed a treacherous smile.
"This is also what the general wants me to bring, and I can only be wronged to continue to stay here in the next period of time."
"When the matter is settled, Xia Xiaoniang's explanation will come."
