Chapter 34: Drinking and Spitting the Truth?
Shen Ke has been going to the Rui Wangfu to congratulate for a while, but he has not come back until now, and he has not seen his branch come back to deliver the letter, and he is not on duty today, and now there are such rumors outside, of course Lu Xiangxue will be worried, although Shen Ke is a coarse and fine person, but some things are indeed stubborn and have their own principles, just like when someone in the Shen Mansion said that Du Yiyi was not, Shen Ke was furious and immediately expelled those subordinates from the palace, and in the court, there were no fewer disputes with the ministers because of these things, and the emperor also trusted him, those ministers didn't dare to say in front of him over time, Du Yiyi was not.
The turmoil two months ago has just passed, and now there are such rumors, Lu Xiangxue understands that this is a team of three members of the Shen Mansion, she is not angry, she doesn't want people with other intentions to succeed, but what about Shen Ke? If someone touches on his principles, will he cause any trouble? After all, this rumor is more than a hundred times more violent than the last rumor.
"Butler, you send someone to the Rui Wangfu to ask if the general is still there, if not, then go to the Three Military Divisions, and then go to the places where the general likes to go on weekdays to find out, just say that there is something at home, let him come back early." Lu Xiangxue stood at the door and watched for a while before reluctantly entering the house and instructing the housekeeper.
The housekeeper took the order, Du Yiyi comforted her carefully, and Lu Xiangxue stretched her brows, but she still felt uneasy, so she led Du Yiyi to sit in the lobby and wait.
The housekeeper went, it was half an hour, Shen Ke still didn't return, Lu Xiangxue was talking to Du Yiyi at first, but then she had no words and couldn't find the beginning of the conversation, her patience had been worn out, and she was anxious again.
"Madame, ma'am." The housekeeper hurriedly came, and it was Lu Xiangxue, who was pacing anxiously, who hurriedly walked out of the lobby and went down the steps to greet him.
"Did you find the general?"
"Madam, I found it, I got drunk in Jingtai Building, and beat people, if it weren't for the minions to go fast, those people would have to lie down for a few months, the minions found a sedan chair and carried the general back, I came back first to report the news, and the general was behind." The butler was sweating and panting, and he had come back all the way.
His worries came true, Lu Xiangxue stomped her feet anxiously, and ran to the mansion without caring for the housekeeper's hard work.
She also knew more about the situation in the housekeeper's mouth, Shen Ke met Zhang Jing, the son of Uncle Guo, after coming out of Rui Wang's Mansion, and followed him all the way to Jingtai Tower, the two drank some wine, and when they heard those rumors, Shen Ke became angry, Shen Ke was a hussar general, brave and brave, and drunk and drunk, and he didn't take it seriously, and he beat the people who spoke down in two or three strokes, if the housekeeper didn't go fast, he was afraid that it would be possible to be killed.
"The slave has never seen the general move such anger, punching and punching, who can stop it! Those people also deserve to die, and they say some foul things. The butler stretched out his fist in indignation, but his steps did not delay.
Shen Ke has already heard those words, Du Yiyi, you should also rest in peace, Shen Ke can't love you like a man, but he can treat you like a man loves his sister, today he was angry for a while, and he didn't know what kind of storm will be set off in the court tomorrow!
"What about the people who were beaten?" Shen Ke is now a very human minister, even family affairs must be handled carefully, if such a thing as beating someone outside is not handled well, this hat of not loving the people and having no virtue will be buttoned up.
"The minions have already found someone to send them to the hospital." The housekeeper is also a delicate person, as soon as he arrived at the scene and saw the situation, he had a score in his heart, and when he sent Shen Ke back, he had already asked the shopkeeper to find a few guys to carry the person to the nearest medical hall, and at that time he also pasted a silver ingot of ten taels on his body.
"Be sure to handle it with care, and ............ later Hey, let my sister-in-law go later, calm the emotions of a few people, and don't let people go to Shuntianfu. ”
"Yes." The butler stepped forward quickly and walked to the door.
"Butler, what is the identity of the person who is beaten by the general?" Lu Xiangxue stood at the door looking forward to it, her hands nervously twisted together.
"The servants and the shopkeeper inquired, but they are not people with status, but a few poor people are afraid that they will be falsely accused of the general." The butler shook his head worriedly and sighed a few times.
"It's coming, it's coming." The guard at the door pointed to the sedan chair not far away, and one ran faster than the other.
Lu Xiangxue also hurriedly descended the steps and stood outside the door of the mansion. "The claim is still to be settled, the comfort fee and supplements must not be less, you can't let others fall into the tongue, if you want to slander our Shen Mansion, you have to ask for some people with status."
"Yes, yes, yes." The housekeeper stepped forward quickly, nervously guarding the sedan chair and stopping in front of the house.
"Husband!"
The housekeeper hurriedly opened the sedan curtain.
In the sedan chair, Shen Ke sat paralyzed, his cheeks were red and he was already drunk, and as soon as the sedan curtain was opened, the strong smell of wine came to his nose, causing Lu Xiangxue to fan with his sleeves. "Why did you drink so much, butler, help the general in."
The housekeeper beckoned a few guards to help, and lifted Shen Ke up and helped him into the house, Lu Xiangxue paid for the sedan chair, and then entered the house with Du Yiyi.
"Let the kitchen cook a bowl of decanting soup, prepare hot soup, and let him wash his body when he wakes up." Lu Xiangxue walked and ordered to go to Yiyu Ju, and asked the housekeeper to put Shen Ke on the soft couch.
"Butler, how many people did you hit?"
"Five."
"Go to the treasury and take some twenty-five ginseng plants, ten catties of bird's nest, and a silver ticket of one thousand taels, and prepare five portions to wrap it, faster."
"Madam, this thousand taels is too much."
"Be prepared, go get it first."
"Yes."
"Come on, go and prepare a sedan chair."
"Yes."
"Come on, go to Jingtai Tower to see if anything has been smashed, and count a list to come back."
"Yes."
"Come on, go and find out what the identity of these five people the general beats, and where they live."
"Yes."
After Lu Xiangxue gave instructions one after another, one after another walked out of Yiyuju, the housekeeper hurried over with a few big boxes in his hand, and a small servant holding a bunch of boxes behind him.
"Find four people, let's go to the infirmary." Lu Xiangxue touched her sideburns with her hand and inserted a slanted hairpin.
"Yes." The butler hurriedly called four people and ordered the box to be distributed to them.
"Sister-in-law, I'll go with you." Du Yiyi didn't worry about letting Lu Xiangxue face such a thing alone.
"Your brother also needs someone to take care of here, so I'll go, there is a housekeeper, and it will be fine."
As soon as the busy sweaty housekeeper heard this, he immediately straightened his waist and couldn't wait to put down the box in his hand and pat his chest to make a guarantee. "Miss, don't worry, we'll be fine with Madame."
"Then sister-in-law should be careful." Du Yiyi thought about it carefully, those people were injured because of discussing their own topics, and they were even more angry when they saw themselves.
"I'll leave it to you, I'll go first." Lu Xiangxue took Du Yiyi's hand and patted the back of her hand, and hurriedly took Butler Ling'er and the others there.
The people in the house all went to inquire about the news and work, but now she is the only one left in Yiyuju, who has a large number of people. Du Yiyi wanted to wipe his face with Shen Ke, but thinking about the gossip outside, he sat down with a pale face and covered his chest.
Du Yiyi, do you finally regret it?
Shen Ke, Shen Ke, you are famous for a lifetime, but you are about to be ruined on this sister, looking at Shen Ke's blood-covered hand and clenching his fists, her heart suddenly cramped again, Shen Ke, you defend Du Yiyi so much, why, but you don't notice her love for you? Otherwise, there would be no today.
The blood had already coagulated, the bright red color and turned black, Du Yiyi didn't make a sound, just looked at this fist blankly, looking at the tiny sawdust still inserted in the few broken skin wounds, she was moved, Shen Ke was for Du Yiyi, now she is Du Yiyi, in addition to love, Shen Ke wants everything that can give her what she wants.
However, except for love, Du Yiyi doesn't want anything, not even her life.
She didn't understand at first, Du Yiyi's name was taken by Shen Ke, why was his surname Shen, but her surname was Du? But after she spied on that sweet memory, she understood that it was the love that sprouted from the beginning that she would not want to take his surname.
"Shen Ke, why can't you love her?"
Shen Ke's face, her impression has always been cold, but now, it is as hot as fire, the smell of alcohol is so strong that it is suffocating between her nose and teeth, the deep and cold eyes are tightly closed, and the two thick eyebrows are like the smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River that cannot be dissolved, twisted into a ridge.
He was dreaming, a nightmare.
"Yiyi! It's me who I'm sorry for you, it's me who is sorry for you. Du Yiyi listened to his whispering, it was the first time for her to get close to him like this, in that memory, Du Yiyi was lying in Shen Ke's arms, so happy, it was the closest Du Yiyi was to Shen Ke, and that time made Du Yiyi fall in love with him.
"I can't hurt you, I can't, I can't, I can't ............" Shen Ke shook his head, his already loose bun was scattered, and his long black hair spread out, completely erasing Shen Ke's last trace of cold breath.
"I can't hurt you, I can't hurt you, I have a hard time, I have a hard time!" He was incoherent, it was basically some drunken words, but she listened very carefully, so Shen Ke would never say these things out of shape.
"Those people deserve to die, they dare to say that about you, they will say that about you............"
"When I do what I'm going to do, I'll take you out of this place and leave ............ far away"
He opened his eyes suddenly, his eyes were blurred, it was a nightmare, it was the same when he closed his eyes and opened his eyes.
Du Yiyi sat up straight in embarrassment, not knowing how to explain.
But what came out before her explanation was his drunken words: "Yiyi, I'm so miserable, so incompetent, I can't do anything, do you know, you jumped off the city tower that day, how worried I was?" How can you do such a stupid thing? Didn't you promise me never to do anything stupid again? I'm so scared, I'm so scared that you're going to leave me like that, it's not that I can't love you, it's just that now I can't, I can't, I can't. ”
"Why not?"
The misty eyes slowly closed, and Shen Ke did not give her an answer.
Du Yiyi was shocked by this sentence and didn't recall it for a long time. Why? What Shen Ke said, was it just drunken talk, or was it ............
Don't..................
No, it can't be like this............
