The junior died in the family, but the birthday gift of the elder could not be sent.

As soon as the sky was bright, a team of people set off from the white Chen Liuhou Mansion to prepare for Tongzhou to give gifts to the aunt of the Hu family to celebrate her birthday.

The leader is Hu Zhi, and it stands to reason that Hu Fang, who just died, is his brother-in-law, and his brother-in-law should stay at home to help take care of it.

But because he and Hu Fang went out together on the day of the accident, Hu Fang died, and he died very ugly, but he was alive, which more or less aroused the hatred and suspicion of his mother-in-law.

In order not to make the family more ugly, but also to reconcile the contradictions, and after proving that he was not suspected of murder, Uncle Hu Qian was in charge and arranged for him to go to Tongzhou to give a birthday gift, and at the same time to report the funeral, which was exactly what Hu Zhi wanted.

As soon as the convoy turned into the main street, several people sitting on roadside food stalls got up and rushed over, led by a middle-aged woman dressed in sackcloth and wearing filial piety, who knelt down in front of Hu Zhi sadly, mourning and weeping.

She was followed by a tall and beautiful girl, a half-old man with a sad look on his back, and a fat farmer.

Several people looked sad, looking sad and sad, and from time to time they wiped their reddish eyes and wiped away the tears in their eyes.

The steward didn't know what was going on, so he stepped forward and asked Hu Zhi in a low voice, and Hu Zhi sighed: "These are all the families of the soldiers who followed us to quell the rebellion a few days ago, they died, the pension was not enough, and they wanted to ask for a few more money to go back to their hometown." ”

This is a serious matter, and the steward didn't dare to ask more, so he watched Hu Zhi beckoning these people to get into his own carriage, saying that he wanted to take them along the way.

The Hu family is in the limelight, and it is a great hero, when they go out of the city, the searching soldiers only let go of people after a brief inspection, and the passage is unimpeded.

Hu Zhi put down a hanging heart, but he didn't know that his every move had already fallen into the eyes of others. When he was ten miles out of the city, he took a look at the gap and ran to the back to find someone: "When are you leaving?" ”

The middle-aged woman dressed as Concubine Lu raised her eyebrows seductively at him: "What's the hurry?" Sending the Buddha to the west, just after you went out, you turned your face and didn't recognize people. ”

Hu Zhi glanced behind her: "Who are they?" ”

The half-old man and the fat farmer slept against the wall of the car, ignoring him at all, but the beautiful maiden opened her eyes and gave him a cold look with disdain in her eyes.

Hu Zhi felt bad: "Who is it?" If you don't say anything, I won't leave. ”

"I don't know if I'm alive or dead." The middle-aged woman raised her hand, and a faint sweet fragrance swept away, and Hu Zhi couldn't help but stare at her, in a trance.

The woman took him by the hand and pulled him into the car, lowering the curtain.

The housekeeper of the Hu family waited for a long time and saw no movement, feeling that something was wrong, so he stepped forward and asked tentatively, "Fourth young master?" ”

The curtain was raised, and Hu Zhi came out and said impatiently: "What is it called?" ”

Seeing that he was intact, the steward was relieved and wanted to see the people in the car, but the curtain of the car smashed in the face. I had to say stupidly: "The clouds are very thick, and it looks like it is going to snow heavily, so you have to hurry up and hurry, otherwise I am afraid that I will not be able to stay in time." ”

Hu Zhi had a calm face: "Then what are you waiting for?" ”

The group continued to walk, and after walking for a long time, the snow fell like goose feathers, and the road became muddy and difficult to walk. The people in the car are fine, but the people walking outside are complaining.

The steward came to look for Hu Zhi: "The wind and snow are too big, and there is a Zhuangzi in front of me, why don't you go there and borrow a night?" ”

Hu Zhi was distraught, he only hated God for not helping, and he wanted to pick up what heavy snow was falling at this time, so that he couldn't get rid of the hot potato in the car earlier, so he said: "Keep walking!" ”

The steward dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, gritted his teeth and responded, but who knew that the few old family members who came with him were people who knew his wife, and he didn't intend to give face to this young master at all.

immediately shook his face, and one sat on the ground and didn't leave, saying that his feet hurt; One said that the wind and snow were too big, soaked clothes, headache, and couldn't walk; The other is a peacemaker and runs to intercede with Hu Shi.

Hu Zhi thought to himself that Hu Fang was dead, and the remaining younger brothers were still young, as long as he made some contributions, no one could compete with him, and the young master had a temper attack, so he had to force these people to go.

Those people were determined to fight against him to the end, and they said very ugly words, how could Hu Zhi be willing to suffer such a wronged anger, go down with a whip, and knock over an old family member, originally wanted to kill chickens and monkeys, and let others be honest.

The old family members were crying and howling, rolling on the ground, and the others went to pull Hu Zhi's thighs and asked him to give an explanation.

The steward looked at it coldly, just sighed, and waited until Hu Zhi was embarrassed before going out to persuade, and the group dragged and went to the Zhuangzi in front to escape the wind and snow.

After Hu Shi ran forward, he said that he could not treat the bereaved families of the fallen soldiers badly, and placed Concubine Lu and others in a very good room, and then ran to resettle them.

Concubine Lu watched him go away, lowered her head and whispered to Huang Zi, who was dressed as a girl, "Do you think there is any fraud?" Do I need to leave first? ”

"It's no big deal, it's all expected." Huang Zi was full of confidence, "At this time, it is freezing cold, if we leave, it will inevitably arouse suspicion." The servants of the Hu family are all familiar with bows and horses, and there is Zhuangzi who protects the eldest princess of the country nearby, so it is not good to make trouble. Recuperate and rest first, and then leave after the people gather at night. ”

Huai En listened to her everything, but He Lingyi got up and stood by the window to look out.

Huang Zi's mind moved slightly: "I heard that Brother He has lived in the eldest princess's Zhuangzi for a period of time, so he must be very familiar with this area." ”

He Lingyi nodded lightly: "Indeed." ”

Huang Zi walked over and stood side by side with him: "Whether you can travel smoothly tonight depends on Brother He at the helm." ”

The snow outside the window kept falling, and there was silence in Zhuangzi, He Lingyi remembered the scene when he fled the capital with Zhong Weiwei, and he felt a sense of déjà vu.

The foreboding became stronger and stronger, and he said, "My suggestion is that it is better to leave now." ”

Huang Zi frowned: "Why?" The others hadn't arrived yet, and it was too risky for us to leave alone, so there had to be a reason. ”

He Lingyi said: "Although the rebellion of King Wu has attracted the attention of Emperor Yanxi, so that he has no time to care, I always feel that it has been too quiet recently, and it is abnormally quiet. ”

Concubine Lu sneered: "From beginning to end, this plan is seamless, unless someone leaks the news." ”

She looks down on He Lingyi, the hall master, not to mention the lonely family, and her skills are wasted, she is simply a waste, what kind of face does she have to occupy the position of the hall master, it is better to die early, so that she can hand over the Kunlun Hall to her.

He Lingyi was stunned: "I'll explore the way for you first." He didn't ask what Huang Zi meant, and walked out first.
