Chapter 676: Sprouts
Lan Ting and his party rushed back to Jurong Clan House early in the morning on Chinese New Year's Eve, and when they arrived, it was already past noon.
Fortunately, the family banquet was scheduled for the evening, and I didn't miss it.
Chungui as the eldest granddaughter-in-law of the Taishi Mansion, her identity is not ordinary in the clan, although she is young, the family banquet is also very eye-catching, she was targeted by several young sisters-in-law, a glass of wine toasting, and later Lan Ting said all the good things before asking an aunt to "preside over justice", Chungui has drunk his eyes straight.
was sent back to the "Qinghuanju" that had been swept and arranged, and was going to live here for three days, and he stumbled straight to Lan Ting, who was already a little anxious at the door, and the aunt who escorted the spring back covered her mouth and chuckled, waved her hand at Lan Ting, signaling him to help Chun Gui into the house to rest, turned around and went up to his shoulders again.
Chungui's consciousness was not completely "lost", he gasped and saw Lan Ting's face clearly, and said angrily: "Don't ask someone to rescue me earlier, just at the banquet, I knocked over the wine glass several times in a row, and this joke is a big joke." ”
Lan Ting suddenly paid attention to the fact that he really hadn't heard Chun Guo call his cousin for a long time.
"What kind of joke is it that you just knocked over the wine glass, and didn't make a fuss about breaking the neighbor's flower branches?" He smiled, holding Chungui's waist with one hand, and reaching over with the other hand for her to grasp, without handing over Chungui to the maids to help, he moved step by step into the bedroom.
In the end, he was trampled on a few times, and finally put Chun Gui'an on the couch safely.
The tea was already half-warm, and Lan Ting held it to Chungui's lips: "Take a sip of tea first and slow down, and the hangover soup can be delivered after a while." ”
Chun Gui didn't drink tea, saying that he didn't even need hangover soup, so he pulled Lan Ting's arm and didn't let go: "Don't accompany me to talk to my son, it's better than anything else, my son can't sit steadily, you can also sit on the couch and let me lean on." ”
This girl has gone back and forth excessively, and she is more pestering than usual.
Lan Ting of course would not dislike it, and sure enough, he sat on the couch and let Chungui snuggle in his arms, and his waist was immediately surrounded by arms, and as soon as he lowered his head, he saw that the woman was eager to bury her face in his clothes, and her sweet and greasy posture was a long sigh.
"What do you sigh?"
"It's been a long time since I've been so close to you."
"It's all my fault." Lan Ting rubbed the top of Chungui's hair with his chin, pulled a fox fur, and half-put it on the body of the person in his arms.
"It's because I blame you, I'm so busy." complained in a low voice, and the mischievous little hand also pinched Lan Ting's waist.
Lan Ting smiled, in the end, she drank too much, she didn't remember what she was really complaining about me, but fortunately, it was also this rare drunkenness, which temporarily let her put aside her sorrow and sorrow on this Chinese New Year's Eve.
But I heard a lower sob.
"I don't blame me, I blame myself, I can't live with my grandfather and uncle, I'm also worried that I will blame myself as much as I do, I think if my aunt and uncle blame me, I might be better, the better they treat me, the more guilty I feel...... If you blame yourself and be so sad, it will be harder and harder. I thought it would be better for me to complain to you, maybe you would be better, but I don't know more and more whether I am doing this right, and I am more and more afraid that I am self-defeating, in case you blame yourself more and more because of my estrangement, and feel more sad......"
Originally...... Is it because of her?
Lan Ting only felt that her heart was sore, painful, warm and swollen, and her face lowered even more, sticking to the temples of Chungui: "What a stupid girl, you can't even bear to blame me, why blame yourself?" After all, it was I who implicated my grandfather and uncle in this power grab, and your original intention has always been to hope that they can stay away from the bitter cold and welcome their grandfather back to live in the old age, why is it wrong? ”
"I'm afraid it's really a shame."
"Don't talk nonsense."
"Really." Chungui struggled, and his eyes were blurred in a trance: "Don't know something, I'm afraid I'm afraid I'll already cause trouble, but I'm reluctant to let you go, I don't want to leave even though I know it's going to bring you trouble, I'm so selfish......"
Before she finished speaking, she was kissed deeply and her lips and tongue were silenced.
"It's like a glutton." She heard him smile.
Then her consciousness became even more confused, and she seemed to be able to respond to her lover's kiss instinctually, and all the benefits and harms and rights and wrongs disappeared because of that sweet sentence, and later, she ......
Lan Ting looked at the person who finally fell asleep without the strength of alcohol, and had to suppress his vigorous desire.
When he woke up the next day after returning to the spring, he didn't remember his "drunken mantra" last night, and still maintained the way of getting along with the husband and wife of "raising the case and raising eyebrows".
In fact, if you think about it carefully, because of Chungui's "complaints" against him, he seems to have reduced his burden a little, of course, now that he knows the truth, he feels more enlightened.
It's not that he no longer blames himself, but he has strengthened his courage and determination, he has such a good couple by his side, no matter how dangerous the future is, he is fearless and fearless, and even what the result is, he thinks that it doesn't matter anymore, I just do what I should do.
And about the secret that King Zhou leaked...... Lan Ting could finally laugh completely.
Although he still didn't know why Chungui chose to confess to King Zhou, he was sure that it must have nothing to do with his children's personal affairs, and she should have realized King Zhou's dangerous thoughts, but she said that she was still reluctant
Leaving is reluctant, not for the sake of etiquette and morality, because she is reluctant to give up, she did not flinch, although she felt worried, she still chose to move forward side by side with him.
Now that he knew what she was thinking, he had no suspicions.
The twelfth year of Hongfu is the first month, and before the Lantern Festival, some things are gradually showing signs again.
For example, on this day, Hua Xiaoji finally couldn't help but take the initiative to visit Fengjun Pavilion, but Chen Shi was busy serving as the chef in the wine shop, and he couldn't spare time to entertain friends for a while, so at the bottom of the corridor of the inner house, the hostess Chu Chu came forward to entertain the guests.
The two can finally talk freely.
"The murder of Gong Li's father and son really has nothing to do with Gong Zheng?" Hua Xiaoji asked first.
"How many times do you want me to explain to Hua Jun? If Hua Jun hadn't been entangled in this matter, he had secretly asked me to meet in Qionglin Yuan several times, and he would not have been almost spied on by the maidservant. Different from the usual subtle and gentle appearance, Chu Chu now has cold eyebrows and eyes, as if his face is reproachful.
"But Li Gong wants to go to Fenyang to investigate the mining affairs, and it is indeed me who leaked it to Zheng Gong!"
"I didn't report this to my lord at all." Chu Chuping calmly responded calmly: "That's it, since Hua Jun is so concerned about this matter, I will simply tell the truth, Hua Jun provided this information, it is not a matter of concern to the lord, because the lord has already known about it, and the case of Zhang Kuang's smuggling of iron ore will be investigated, and the person who cannot escape the blame is the king of Linzi, so the lord will not stop the Zhou Wang Party from continuing to investigate." Although Hua Jun leaked the secret in this matter, Zhao Shizhou may also be another leaker, and the Li family's father and son were tragically murdered, and it must be because the Linzi royal party was afraid of exposing the crime before cutting the grass and eradicating the roots. ”
"You dare to swear?"
"If I have a deceitful word, I will not die well, and I will have nowhere to bury."
Hua Xiaoji's expression finally eased: "But I am indeed incompetent, and I can't win the trust of King Zhou and Zhao Ji with all my might, and I really don't know how to help Zheng Gong." ”
"Originally, the lord was never willing to force Hua Jun to spy on things, and the next few changes that will occur are more suitable for Hua Jun to deal with, and these accidents, if handled properly, are really beneficial to the community and people's livelihood, the lord is determined to picket lawlessness and clean up the officialdom, and it is not that the Zhou Wang Party is just secretly plotting private power under this banner, and the lord believes that with Hua Jun's integrity, he will be able to try his best to appeal for those who have suffered injustice." Chu Chu is like a golden sound.
And Jiao Xing, who is not visible to ordinary people, gasped after seeing and hearing about it.
