Chapter 13: The Aftermath
After sending Dr. Huang away, Master Zhao instructed the servants to get the medicine, and then asked Aunt Wang why his daughter suddenly fell ill and what happened during the period, he wanted to find out clearly.
Faced with the master's repeated questions, Aunt Wang had no choice but to tell what she knew.
Aunt Wang told her thoughts truthfully, "Master, it should be the news that Liu Sanlang married the daughter of Shangshu and reached the ears of Miss. ”
Master Zhao asked anxiously, "What's going on, why did Rou'er fall ill?" ”
"Master, in fact, Miss has long liked the third son of the Liu family, the last time the third son of Liu went to Jinyang to catch the exam, Miss said goodbye in the small pavilion outside the city, and sent out her own embroidered handkerchief, and then there are letters to exchange, now I heard that Shangshu married the daughter and the Liu family, Miss was sick for a while."
Master Zhao was very annoyed and said: "Confused, Rou'er is stupid, why don't you look at it, just let her be stupid." ”
Seeing that the old man was angry, Aunt Wang immediately knelt down and pleaded: "Please forgive the master, all the mistakes are mine, it is me who didn't take good care of the young lady." ”
After a while, Old Man Zhao's anger was half gone, and he said, "Get up first, take good care of Rou'er in the future, and remember not to let her see the third son of Liu." ”
Four months later, Liu Wen returned to his hometown with his wife, and the scenery was unparalleled for a while.
On the official road from Baishui to Qingshui, a convoy of four or five horse-drawn carriages was galloping, and the speed of the convoy slowed down when it was almost to Qingshui County.
This convoy is the convoy of Liu Wen's return to his hometown.
The first one was the carriage in which Liu Wen and Li Lu were sitting, followed by Li Lu's four maids, and then the dowry of two carts, and the last carriage had five guards with Pu Dao, and there was a Pu Dao escort next to the groom in each carriage.
After the convoy entered the territory of Qingshui County, the speed of movement gradually slowed down, and the people in the carriage could also lift the window curtains to slowly enjoy the surrounding scenery.
"Fumirou, is this your hometown? The mountains and rivers are beautiful, no wonder there can be a talent like you. ”
"Of course, Qingshui is beautiful, but I'm not a talent, I'm just lucky."
"Wen Lang, look, there seems to be a girl in a red dress waiting for someone in the pavilion in front, I guess it should be waiting for her lover, Wen Lang, do you say?"
Although he has been away for three years, he will not forget the girl in the pavilion.
Three years ago, it was also in that pavilion that she said goodbye to herself.
I'm sorry for her, I won't see her in the future.
Liu Wen said in a low voice: "Maybe, I don't know when she will be able to wait." ”
"Wenlang, do you know that girl?"
Liu Wen wanted to say that he knew, but in order to avoid making trouble for himself, he still stubbornly said: "I don't know, I was dedicated to learning before, and I rarely knew about this." ”
Li Lu smirked and said, "Is that so, Wenlang, if you lie to me, I will tell my father." ”
Liu Wen smiled very reluctantly and didn't say anything.
The convoy did not stop, but went directly into the city and arrived at the door of Liu's house.
"Miss, let's go back, it's getting cold, and it's late, the lord and the lady will worry about you, miss. Besides, that person is already married, so it's not worth it", Aunt Wang persuaded Zhao Rou bitterly.
Zhao Rou said a little coldly: "Aunt Wang, have you ever liked someone?" The kind that will never be forgotten. ”
Aunt Wang said truthfully: "No, for us ordinary people, the so-called love, love, are people who are too full and idle all day long.
And we ordinary people are just a man and a woman living together and trying to live a good life. ”
On the other side of the Liu family, Li Lu seems to be telling his maid to do something.
"Chun'er, you go and ask the people of the Liu family carefully, who is the girl who is waiting in the pavilion today, don't ask too obviously, be quiet, remember not to let Wen Lang know."
Chun'er said in a solemn voice: "I understand, Miss, I must ask clearly." ”
Li Lu thought in her heart, if you really don't know each other, Wen Lang, you will show that kind of demeanor, Wen Lang, you are really not suitable for deceiving people.
In the evening, Chun'er reported to Li Lu that she inquired about the news.
"Miss, the girl in the red dress in the pavilion today is called Zhao Rou, she is the daughter of Master Zhao in Qingshui, she was a companion who often played with her uncle when she was a child, I heard that in recent days she has been running outside the city, as if she is waiting for someone, and her body is relatively sick and weak, and she is often sick."
After listening to the news from Chun'er, he hesitated for a while, but still said: "In this way, Chun'er, you go down first, remember not to talk about today's events everywhere, especially Wenlang." ”
Li Lu was alone in the house, not knowing what she was thinking.
Wen Lang, you really lied to me, you don't know anything, but it turns out that people are still your childhood sweethearts, you are really ruthless.
Dare to ask how many men in this world are dedicated, Wenlang, you are not, and neither is my father, but I will definitely control my destiny, but I will not be like my mother, complaining all day long, and finally leaving quietly.
On the other side, at the Zhao family's dinner table, Mr. and Mrs. Zhao and their daughter Zhao Rou, who was still by their side, were eating.
After eating a few bites, Master Zhao said to Zhao Rou: "Don't go outside the city in the future, you are a girl's family all day long, others will gossip, and the person you are waiting for has come back, you should also meet the convoy that entered the city, you should also be dead, I will find you a good mother-in-law, now take care of your body." ”
Suddenly, the atmosphere became dull, Zhao Rou was already unappetizing, and when she heard these words, she couldn't eat anything, so she retired after a few bites.
Zhao Rou's heart is hurting, and Mr. and Mrs. Zhao are also feeling sorry for their daughter.
It's just to blame creation for making people!
Late at night, some people are secretly crying, because the wind at night is colder and stronger, and it is easier to blow dust into the eyes.
Some people are lying on the bed, whispering to their husbands face to face.
"Wenlang, you lied to me today, but I don't blame you."
As soon as Liu Wen wanted to say something, Li Lu pointed his lips with his index finger and motioned him not to speak and listen to her.
"You can take her through the door, but you have to get my permission to bring someone into the back house in the future."
Liu Wen agreed one by one.
Early the next morning, Liu Wen went to visit Zhao's Mansion alone.
Master Zhao entertained him in the study and ordered the servants to serve tea.
Although he didn't like it, in the face of the guests' visits, Master Zhao still said very kindly: "Virtuous nephew, what is the matter with coming to me." ”
Liu Wen immediately knelt down and said, "Master Zhao, I beg you to marry Zhao Rou to me, I know I'm sorry for Rou'er, but I still beg you to fulfill it." ”
Master Zhao was furious, almost in a hurry, he yelled: "Zhuzi, you are now married to a wife, and you still want my daughter to be your concubine, get out of me!"
Someone, get rid of him! ”
The servant outside the study jumped up and took Liu Wen out of the Zhao Mansion.
