The crowd gradually receded from the ancestral hall, and Shuying said goodbye to the Duchess of Xu Guo, and walked to the back mountain plank road to relax.

The cool breeze blowing from the mountains in the northwest swept through her sideburns and brows, and through the hem and skirt of her dress, trying to make her remove this mourning dress. But on such a cold day, she couldn't get rid of the thin frost under her eyes without removing the plain clothes.

She looked at the mountain forest cottage in the distance and smiled helplessly. In a high place, he is still a caged bird and an envy pond fish.

"Shadow Maiden?"

Shuying wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and when he looked back, it was the young man in red. "Master Penang...... I'm sorry, I'm rude in front of you again. ”

"No, you have always been so dignified and virtuous, and you have been polite for several years, and I have never felt that you were rude." Lu Hongbin seemed to be afraid that she would be unhappy, and justified her in a hurry.

She nodded, thanking that there were still people in the world who didn't like to see her jokes.

Lu Hongbin walked up to her, brushed away a thick layer of fallen leaves, held the railing with both hands, and accompanied her to look ahead, "I'm here to say goodbye to you." ”

It is precisely because of the death of the prince of Huaiyong Hou that the Hou Ye is dying of old age, and he is powerless to handle the funeral, and he still needs the Lu juniors to support the Hou Ye to preside over the funeral, and he has been confined to the capital and guarding the emperor, so he has the opportunity to return to the Hou Mansion and end some unfinished business in this short forty-nine days.

Although Lu Tongqi loved him and let him mourn as the eldest nephew of the prince, he did not inherit him to Lu Cheng's name, presumably they also had their considerations. Maybe it's to leave the only bloodline for the long house, maybe it's to let the Nie family go, or maybe it's ...... Give Lu Suiyun a chance.

"It is not easy to ask the Holy God for 49 days of mourning leave this time. The son of the world is kind to me, I am demoted by one level, and I must come back to see him off this last journey. ”

What kind of kindness, Xie Shuying didn't want to ask, and he didn't want to bring up the old things again.

The makeup and weaving gold of the flying fish suit were very dazzling under the scorching sun, and the sparse shadow was so shaken that he couldn't see, so he had to half-squint his eyes, "Xu Guogong is also in the capital, does the master have any dealings with his family?" ”

"You're trying to ask...... Duchess of the Kingdom? "Lu Hongbin has served in Jinyiwei for many years, and his intuition is beyond ordinary people's acumen, and he can grasp the key point at once.

"Not bad." Shuying lowered her head, a few strands of loose hair fluttering in front of her smooth forehead.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Lu Tongzheng's affairs with Xie Shuying and the two Lu Cheng brothers today have reached the point of being strong, and even Hou Ye has never thought of making a real promise, but she cares about it very much, as if she is about to cross a hurdle. What's even more bizarre is that Hou Ye only gritted his back molars and immediately agreed to her.

If Hou Ye didn't have some handles in Lu Tongzheng's hands, all of this would be unreasonable.

"Presumably, Miss Ying also knows that the two marriages of the prince, with the Nie family and the Xie family, were all matchmakers made by the Duchess of Xu Guo. The Nie family had no reason to withdraw from the marriage, which made the wife very unhappy; Today, you and the son of the world are not together, maybe you are still displeased. ”

"If she is displeased, why should she force Hou Ye to say my future now? She and Huaiyong Hou are sisters and brothers, is Hou Ye not as good as me, a lost dog, in her heart? Shuying smiled bitterly. It turned out that Lu Hongbin was also trying his best to be vague, fighting for the dignity and glory of the Lu family.

"She is such a strong person, and she can't rub a little sand in her eyes. Hou Ye told me that if the Duchess of Guo had not married into the Zhang family, he would never have been able to be appreciated by Emperor Taizu, follow him to conquer the Quartet, and even support the Great Zhou. In theory, the Marquis of Huaiyong also has half of the credit of the lady, as long as the Lu family raises her eyebrows, she can also raise her eyebrows in the Zhang family. ”

This pale and weak explanation made Shuying cry and laugh, "I was in the way of her raising her eyebrows." ”

Lu Hongbin knew that Shu Ying couldn't listen to these reasons he made up in a hurry, and sighed softly without a trace, "The shadow girl will follow Xie Yushi back to Lanling in the future." My return to Beijing this time is also a blessing and a curse, I am afraid that you and I will never see each other again for the rest of our lives. ”

Although he said this in an extremely sensual and hypocritical manner, it always brought a few parting wounds.

"I'm saying goodbye to my deceased husband today, and I'm going to say goodbye to you, I'm really busy! Lu Qianhu, in fact, I have already let go of those past events, and you don't have to worry about it anymore. But I have never forgotten your help to me, Xie Shuying has nothing to repay in this life, I only hope that you will sail through the waves and be safe for many years. ”

There was a faint smile on her face, and her heart was so sour, as if she had returned to the eve of her coming to the Huaiyong Marquis's Mansion, the rainstorm had stopped, the rivers rose and fell, and she was stunned.

"Lan Sheng is not a household, don't be an idle grass. was deceived by frost and dew, and Hongrong was old. Falsely connect the branches of Yaohua and root the king's pool. Gu Wuxin is fragrant and beautiful, and the breeze blows. If Yu Fang is admirable, he will follow him when he dies. ”

After the young man finished reading the poem, he made a deep gesture towards Shuying, looked up to the sky and laughed and left.

It was the first time in her life that she had seen such a bright red. Warm, flamboyant, uninhibited, sincere.

There was already a dull pain in her wrist, reminding her that it was time to change her dressing.

Back in the courtyard, Shuying took off his filial piety clothes and changed back to the simple clothes he usually wears at home; The shiny three locks of hair were loosened one by one and replaced with the peach bun that had been combed before.

Liluo squatted down, untied the white cloth on Shuying's wrist layer by layer until the red and swollen scars were exposed, and then carefully and gently applied the ointment that had been prepared to it, and re-wrapped it tightly with a clean white cloth.

A strong chill rushed to his lungs, and Shuying closed his eyes and clenched his fists to endure. Liluo looked up at her with a slightly painful expression, and she broke out in a cold sweat. An Yue stood behind and hugged Shuying's shoulder, and could clearly feel the girl's body trembling, and her eyes were red.

-

On the twenty-fifth day of August, Liluo inquired about the news from Mama Jiang early in the morning, and sure enough, Jia Renke, the steward of the big kitchen, wanted to go to the account room to reconcile the accounts and wanted to make up the receipt form.

Shuying was still covered with a quilt and half-leaned on a soft pillow, her eyelids were a little heavy, "Why have I been getting worse and worse these days, and I've been groggy all day." ”

"Girl, it's autumn. People say that they want to harvest in autumn and hide in winter, but the girl eats too little every day, her spleen and stomach are weak, and she is easy to lose energy. An Yue brought a bowl of tonic medicine, which is said to be appetizing and spleen-invigorating, and Shuying drank it every day.

"This hawthorn is very sour and bitter, I just hope that one day I will have a great appetite and never drink this again!" She raised her head and finished drinking, frowning and said.

Shuying got up and put on soft shoes, and lazily walked to the hanger to get dressed. When tidying up the bed, An Yue felt a book under the pillow, read the words on the cover, sighed regretfully, and tucked it back into its place.

No wonder the girl has slept peacefully these days, and he is the only one who can make the girl feel at ease.

It's just two people who are impossible.
