The Old Man Comes (I) (I)

Today is the fourteenth day since Lian'er was poisoned, and an ant-like bite on her body pulls her thoughts back from memory to reality. The torture was about to begin again, and after a period of patience, her vision began to blur a little, and she could no longer rely on deep breathing and mental stillness to help her. She reached into the basin at the bedside and took out a piece of ice, put it in the saddest place, cooled it for a short time, and then began to get upset again. Today seemed to be a little more violent than the last time, and she seemed to be beginning to hallucinate, and she began to hear a little as if it was her husband talking in a distant place. Her whole body began to get hotter and hotter, and her consciousness gradually began to blur, as if she saw her husband gradually walking towards her.

With a gentle footsteps, a white figure approached her, the voice of reality brought her back to the present moment of time and space, and her consciousness told her that someone had really entered her room, and instinctively told her that it was a voyeur. She immediately sat up, held the hosta that Xinjie had given her in her hand, and asked loudly and vigilantly, "Who is it?!" She hoped that her voice would alarm the Jade Spirit or the Jade Qin. Strangely, these two girls should have guessed that she was going to have a seizure today, and they should have stayed nearby. Although the martial arts of these two girls are not first-class masters, ordinary people are not their opponents. How can people enter the room silently. Could it be that this master can make Yuling and Yuqin be subdued before they can speak? The figure continued to walk towards her, and a strong fear rose in her heart.

"Girl, I gave you a hairpin for you to dress up, not to stab yourself."

This familiar and unfamiliar, long-lost voice made her suddenly in chaos, unable to tell whether it was a real sound, or a hallucination caused by the poison of the body? She sat there dumbfounded, still holding the hosta in her hand. The white figure stood in front of her, holding the hosta soft wattle, she was still dazed, not knowing if it was another hallucination. But it's really Applejack's voice, Applejack's people and his scent. No, she's going to have to figure it out... Before she could make herself clear, the man had already hugged her, and all her senses, her consciousness, told her that it was her Applejack, that her husband had returned... She felt as if her head was floating in the warm water, rising and falling comfortably with the waves, her body hot from the sun, reveling with the waves, smiling from every part of her body, converging in her throat with a sigh.

Gradually, the body began to calm down and began to feel a rare coolness. The consciousness of the primordial spirit gradually returned to its true nature. She gradually realizes that the person around her is really her husband, and that Applejack is back. He kept stroking her face, her hair, and his eyes were sometimes comforting, sometimes complicated, but always smiling.

"Girl, I never knew you were so crazy." She looked at him without speaking, and the smile in his eyes deepened, "Looks like I should thank the person who drugged me, hahaha..." Still silent, looking at him leisurely. "You called up half of the people in the capital,... ..."

Suddenly, he sat up, raised his voice while arranging his clothes, and said loudly: "Friends, didn't you notice Xinjie when he got married, and neglected everyone, and today you all came to listen to the root of the wall and make up a hole for us?" ”

Only then did she notice that there was a faint voice outside.

Since she was poisoned, Lan Xin and the Nine-Tailed Fox have been afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and from time to time they have sent some chaotic people to coax, and of course, they have also sent people to secretly monitor from time to time, to see what is happening here, and to see when they can announce to the public that Tang San Gongzi has been cuckolded. Of course, Lan Xin is just to fight Lian'er, in order to retaliate for Xinjie's refusal to accept her, but the nine-tailed fox is obviously to stir up the situation, in order to make the capital as lively as possible. The chief steward of Baihuatang, the wife of the owner of the Aoki Society, and the granddaughter-in-law of the big boss of the Jade Gate, if there is a deviant behavior, and is caught red-handed and shown to the public, I don't know how lively it is, and if that man still has a certain status in the rivers and lakes, or if the prince pities the jade, it is even more chaotic. Now is the eventful time in the capital, the nine-tailed fox, the mistress of a foreign prince, although in the name of admiring Xinjie, colluded with Lan Xin to do this kind of deed, but the discerning person knew at a glance that a bigger conspiracy was still to come. To mess up the market, to muddy it, to divert people's attention, to distract everyone, maybe it's just to cover up some ulterior plan.

"Ninth brother, help the brother keep all the guests. Yuqin Yuping, let you sit in the guest hall, serve tea, I have something to say. ”

When she walked from the backyard just now, because of the excessive excitement in front of her, Lian'er felt very prostration, and her feet were very vague, a little fluttering. Xinjie sensed her weakness and reached out to gently hold her waist. This continued until they entered the hall and stood in full view.

The living room was lit with a lot of big candles, and the hall was lit up. In a hurry, Lian'er only had time to put on a white embroidered robe over her nightgown and pull her hair loosely. The red tide on the face was still there, and it was very noticeable, illuminated by the bright lights, and the discerning person could see what was going on at a glance.

As soon as they entered here, Lian'er felt a pair of jealous eyes looking at them, which was Lan Xin looking angrily behind the crowd, apparently she still had this hall now. Why is she still here, and what is she waiting for? Soon Lian'er reflected, including Lan Xin, the people in this hall were not reluctant to leave, but were stopped here by the people of Yumen led by Yuqin and Yuping, and were not allowed to leave.

As the victor, Lian'er ignored Lan Xin, didn't look at her, and ignored her. After saying hello to Xiao Jiu, she quietly snuggled up to her husband, looking unusually calm. It's as if no one else exists here except her husband.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it is a rare day for so many distinguished people to visit my small Aoki Garden, which is an honor.

In the past, the younger brother was not careful, he was lazy when he got married, he didn't send you an invitation, he didn't invite everyone to drink wine, he was offended, and I hope you will bear with me. Today, I would like to invite you to come in for tea, and by the way, I would like to introduce Uchiko to you. "Actually, no one in this hall knows that this is his wife, otherwise he wouldn't have come to wait to see the joke.

"Lian'er, a gift to the seniors, friends, brothers and sisters here. In the future, I hope you will take care of it, the inner people are not good at martial arts, do not understand the affairs of the rivers and lakes, if there is anything in the future, I hope you can help.

The little brother was not at home some time ago, only the insiders are here to take care of some of the affairs of the family, there are a few people here who are very helpful, Xinjie thank you. You are also people with status in the rivers and lakes, I believe that you did not in the past, and you will not come to embarrass this little woman in my family in the future, hehe. After saying these words, he let out a few teasing dry laughs, obviously sarcastic about Lan Xin and the men of the nine-tailed fox who came with Lan Xin. These laughter sounds normal to others, but Lian'er feels a little unfamiliar. Not exactly like Applejack in the past, her former husband was elegant and witty, but in these few laughs, there seemed to be something added, she couldn't tell what it was, maybe it was an old adult, an old adult she hadn't seen before.

"I have just returned to Beijing today, and I have not been well prepared, and after I have made my grandmother and father a good date, I will hold another banquet to celebrate my marriage with my wife. Please enjoy the light then. Please return early today, the hour is not early, and it will not hinder everyone's rest. Jade book, jade screen, send-off. The jade book and the jade screen, walking from the position by the door, walked towards the guests, making a gesture of sending off the guests. These two girls are similar to Yuqin and Yuling's outfits, they are all knurled ruffle shirts, plus white pants, and they look clean and generous. I haven't seen these two before, and Lian'er probably came back from Jiangnan Yumen with Xinjie today.

Suddenly, everyone seemed to be relieved, and it was embarrassing to stay here, and now they were expelled, of course, as fast as they went. Only Lan Xin was extremely unwilling to stand there without moving. Xiao Jiu also followed the people out.

Xinjie didn't pay attention to Lan Xin at all, but just said to Xinye: "Xiao Jiu, where are you going?" "To go where I need to be, of course." Shinno said with a hippie smile. "You've been tired of running around for the past few days, rest early, and now it's getting late, so don't go back to the old mansion to toss, take a rest in the guest room here, and we'll get together tomorrow." Xinye rubbed his nose mischievously and said, "The Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold, so I won't be persona non grata here." I'd better go back to my own cottage in the old mansion. Besides, I'm really tired, I want to get a good night's sleep, I'm being noisy here, I can't sleep, isn't it hurting me?! Lian'er suddenly remembered what Xinjie said just now, "Quarrel with half of the capital", and she was very embarrassed.

But soon everyone understood that Xinye's words were not to run but to help them, he turned to Lan Xin and said: "Sister Lan Xin, I advise you to leave early, I think my third brother's yard is too small, there are few decent rooms, and the sound insulation is not good, you better sleep quietly with Aunt Batang." When he said this, all the people who were about to leave stopped and prepared to see the excitement. Lan Xin was still standing there, looking at Lian'er angrily. Xinye's last sentence was just a sentence "I don't care about my business!" ”

"I don't want to care, I just want to go back to bed early. I just want to remind you that at this moment, my third brother is full of tenderness and affection to love my sister-in-law, and he should not be interested in thinking about whether to punish traitors who eat inside and outside according to the Tang Sect, or to do the poisoning in the same way as he dealt with traitors in the Jade Gate. So I advise you to take this opportunity to go back early and get a good night's sleep. ”
