Chapter 31: Heavy Nine (3)
"The lady doesn't have to think about the past. Lose in hake, but gain in herring. Princess Minghui's life and death are uncertain now, even if she is still alive, she may only be able to survive in the dark, and she will never see the light again, where can she live a leisurely life like a lady, read books and taste tea? ”
Shuying felt some pity for her, but her life was not as cheap as theirs, and if she made a mistake, she might fly away like a feather.
Du Niangzi didn't change her smile, and stretched out her hand to caress Shuying's soft and immature cheeks, "Girl, you remember my words, no matter how bumpy the original road was, we have all come over, never look back, the light will always be ahead!" ”
"Good ......"
Tears poured out of Shuying's eyes, wetting Du Niangzi's hands.
"Oops! Sin sin, sin I said the wrong thing! Is...... What a frustrating thing to say about such a festival! Du Niangzi was busy wiping Shuying's face with a handkerchief, "Girl, don't blame me, I'm confused, I don't have a door on my mouth, which makes you sad." I'll peel the crab paste myself for you later! ”
Seeing that the little girl was not so sad when she heard that she was eating crabs, and even smiled a little, Du Niangzi breathed a sigh of relief and took her to the courtyard to blow the wind and appreciate the chrysanthemums.
It happened that Lu Qi walked in with his head down, and Shuying retreated behind Du Niangzi when he saw him.
"Yo, I'm preoccupied, what's wrong? Did Master Hou count you down again? Like a headless fly. Du Niangzi said with a smile.
"Not really." Lu Qi raised his head, glanced at Shuying, saw that she had some tears, and then praised the chrysanthemums on the flower stand, "Luo Guan has a poem: 'Show three autumn evenings, ten steps to bloom. Divide the yellow and laugh on the day, and shake the wind with cui. The broken shadow flows, and the floating incense passes across the bank. Jin Qiao can be general, and Yu Yu is the same. ’”
When Shuying was young, she heard her father say that when Ruizong was civilized in the Tang Dynasty, Xu Jingye raised an army to fight against Wucong, and King Luo Bin was his subordinate. Cover the sleeves of the work, the fox can confuse the lord" and other sentences, the whole article is vigorous, the language is sharp, the middle width is the color of the righteous flag, the writing is sound and bright, as if the mountains are shaking, it is a rare famous article in history.
I didn't expect Lu Suiyun to be so calm and gloomy, and he would also love crazy people like Meng Ke and Luo Binwang.
"This snow green blooms very well, the color is like a sunset, and it can be used in the clothes of beautiful women."
Shu Ying tightened his sleeves, knowing that he was making fun of himself, and was not moved.
Du Niangzi echoed: "It has to be a beauty with ice muscles and jade bones to match." Okay, it's all this hour, I'm going to go to the backyard to see if the crabs are okay, you two go into the house and talk. ”
Watching her walk from the verandah into the backyard, the two people who stayed next to the flower stand looked at each other in unison.
"Fang Bing!" The shadow is impatient.
Lu Qi stretched out his index finger and gently put it to his lips, "I was about to tell you this." I've been sending people to keep an eye on him, so I know about him. It seems that this last line is also broken, do you plan to continue climbing trees to catch kites? ”
Shuying was naturally unwilling to give up, "My brother said that when he found Fang Lao, Fang Lao happened to have a stroke, so he died like this, and he was too unlucky. However, he still said two words vaguely before he took a breath, and maybe he could take a few more steps. ”
She clenched her fists and was uneasy.
"What two words?"
"Ding Wei."
Lu Qi's eyes moved slightly, and he stroked a black chrysanthemum beside him and said lightly: "Ding Wei's original meaning was 'encountering the funeral of his parents', I guess...... Maybe he was implying that his brother's death had something to do with Hou Ye. ”
"How is this possible? Brother Ziqiao is the son of the Hou Ye, and he will inherit the title in the future, if the Hou Ye kills him, wouldn't it be too ridiculous! ”
Shuying took into account Du Niangzi's preference for quietness, and did not let An Yue and Liluo follow, and when she went out, she carried a food box in her hand, but forgot to take a fan. Now she was dizzy from the sun, so she raised one hand above her head, and the other hand grasped the hem of her sleeve, so as to cover the light, and walked slowly towards the house.
Suddenly, a shadow fell on her. Putting down the sleeves, it turned out that Lu Suiyun was holding a rosewood plain folding fan beside her, and the falling white marble lotus boy fan pendant and his angular wrist bones rubbed from time to time, and the swaying was also very cute.
"There are a lot of ridiculous things in the world. Whether it is related to Hou Ye or not, you might as well approach Hou Ye first, maybe you can get some clues. ”
Lu Qi put the fan on his waist and helped Shuying lift the bamboo curtain.
Shuying turned back and owed to him, and then stepped lightly over the threshold, "You think so thoughtfully, and you also take advantage of the location, why don't you approach him yourself?" "She had a fight with Lu Tongyi, and the other party could be described as inadequate, vigilant and abnormal, and could handle her to death. Lu Qi will not be unaware of this.
"Brother Jiu and I are brothers after all, we always have to avoid suspicion in this matter, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for me to investigate it personally, if you do it, you won't cause a lot of trouble."
The room is filled with the pleasant aroma of tea and wood, and just by plunging in, the irritable heart can become calm immediately.
"Mr. Suiyun should be more proficient in the art of war than me, and he won't use that means of killing people with a knife on me, right?"
"'The enemy is clear, the friend is undecided, lead the friend to kill the enemy, do not contribute to the effort, and deduce with "Loss". The enemy has been exposed, and the other force is more distracted and will do something, so it should be used to destroy the enemy. For example, if Zheng Huan Gong wants to attack Yi, he will first write his name to the heroes, good ministers, discerning wisdom, and courageous people, and bribe him with the good land of Yi, and write it in the name of the official. Yi Jun thought that it was difficult to do it, and killed his good ministers. Huan Gong attacked and took it. 'Do you think you are a hero, or a gentleman?' ”
Lu Qi tilted his head and looked at her eyes that showed a slight anger.
"Friend or foe, friend or foe. Haojie and Yi Jun can't guess Zheng Huangong's thoughts, but I can guess your thoughts. In this Hou Mansion, no matter who it is, it is a chess piece in your hand. ”
She hated him so much that he was dignified on the face and toothless in his back, but she had a strange thought in her heart, hoping that he could refute herself like before.
"This is the last thing I can do for my brother. The death of my brother, the disasters of the Shen Tu family and the Lanling Xie family, the crux may be on Hou Ye, you must have doubted him! ”
"When I first came to the Hou Mansion, the Hou Ye once folded a lotus flower for me. Lianzi means pity, how could it be that he wanted to harm his own son? Shuying opened a pair of apricot eyes, and there was still a bit of innocence between her eyebrows.
Lu Qi nodded silently, half self-deprecating, half pity Xie Shuying's kind temperament, which had long been wiped out in himself.
Two more people came in the door curtain, and it seemed that it was Du Niangzi and Old Lady Shi. Although Mama Shi's steps were staggering, the plate in her hand was extremely stable. There are six orange-yellow-orange golden-clawed crabs on the plate, and in the middle of it is a brilliant yellow chrysanthemum, which can hook all the eyes and noses of people.
Du Niangzi gently pushed the two of them to the table and said with a smile: "This crab is great, let's eat it while it's hot!" ”
