Chapter 137: Uncle Tuo dreamed
"Hmm." Chang Le replied softly, "The matter is settled, and the previous Ah Chang should also be blinded." ”
Shili's eyes flashed, and there were indescribable emotions in them. stared at Chang Le's side face for a long time, and didn't say a word.
"I don't know, I'm playing a story mission right now."
When you're done, you can go back and get away from the chaos and strife here.
Chang Le said something that he couldn't understand for ten miles.
"I don't seem to have a happy life here."
"Ah Chang, weren't you very happy when you were with King Huai?"
I don't know why, Shili always has a sense that Chang Le is frustrated and wants to leave, and can't wait to keep her.
Chang Le tilted his head, rested his head on his arm to look at her, and blinked his eyes without a trace of waves: "I'm picking up candy from glass slag to eat." I've had more days of being hurt than being happy. ”
"In the future, it will always be good in the future." Ten miles blinked his eyes, eager to stay.
Chang Le pursed his lips and stared at her eyes for a long time, making sure that she would not be a Insight Heavenly Machine, and he didn't know that he was a person who had crossed over.
"Shili, did your uncle give you a dream?"
A headless and brainless sentence made Shili feel a moment of confusion: "No." I haven't dreamed of my uncle in a few days. ”
"Did you really dream of it?"
"Well, the night before you woke up." Shili nodded solemnly, "Uncle scolded me and asked me to take good care of you." ”
Chang Le raised his eyebrows in astonishment.
"I quarreled with my uncle right then. You're dead, I'll take care of the. Shili still said seriously, and a smile appeared in the corner of his eyes, "I didn't expect that as soon as my eyes opened, it didn't take long for you to wake up." ”
"Is your uncle a person who has become an immortal?" Chang Le had great doubts about this.
"Although my uncle is very powerful, he shouldn't be able to become an immortal." Shili said firmly, "Whoever is with my uncle is asking for his own guilt, and the gods in the sky are so wise that they will not find this kind of trouble for themselves." ”
Chang Le couldn't cry or laugh. It's really hard for me to believe in this kind of thing, what I can explain is that I think about it for ten miles and dream at night, because I am close to the uncle, so what I dream of is the uncle.
"Ma'am."
A respectful whisper outside the door. Chang Le raised his head, skimmed his head for ten miles and saw that it was Aunt Rong coming, so he sat up.
Shili also sat up straight, got up, and gave up his seat.
Aunt Rong folded her hands in front of her, and Steward Zhang followed her.
Here comes the deliberations.
Chang Le chatted with Shili, which could be regarded as a little more comfortable, and he could barely squeeze out a smile, holding the cup and saying, "Sit and talk." ”
"I want to talk to my wife about this alone."
Chang Le was surprised, and glanced at Shili and Steward Zhang. They consciously withdrew from the house. Shili took the door with his hand.
"Sit down." Chang Le invited Aunt Rong again.
Aunt Rong bowed her head, slowly moved her body to Chang Le's side, sat on the stool where she was sitting just ten miles, and talked with Chang Le.
"Madam, the old woman knows that Madame has suffered a lot of sins before, and if she can come back this time, she must still have a sense of affection."
Aunt Rong's voice was low and slow, like telling a story, and the listener unconsciously had a sense of sadness that had gone through vicissitudes.
"Aunt Rong is really a rare shrewd person in the house." Chang Le praised it without hesitation.
There is indeed a friendship, but it is a life-saving kindness.
"Madame doesn't have to praise her mother-in-law." Aunt Rong pursed her lips, "Mother-in-law is also guessing." Thinking so, but I was afraid that my wife would not want to stay in the house to deal with these troublesome things, I still asked first. ”
"Hmm." Chang Le answered lightly, waiting for her to continue.
"The previous wife was a good hand at handling housework, but the head of the family also knew that the current lady was tired of housekeeping, and she was even more unwilling to do some complicated housework."
Chang Le lowered his eyes and did not answer.
"Therefore, the head of the family has instructed before that if he unfortunately dies one day, he must not let his wife interfere in all his future affairs."
After a meal, Chang Le stared at the empty cup, thoughtful. There is no lake in my heart, but I have waves.
"Now that the head of the family is gone, we should follow the will of the head of the family." Aunt Rong paused, always paying attention to Chang Le's mood changes, "However, after all, the head of the family did not say this because he was disgusted with his wife, so the mother-in-law was bold, thinking that if the lady was willing to take care of it herself, the head of the family would also be happy under Jiuquan." ”
"When did this happen?"
When he opened his mouth, Chang Le found that his throat was a little dry and his nasal voice was a little heavy. Immediately coughed twice.
"It's been a few days. More than half a month after Madame left. "Aunt Rong roughly counted the days.
Chang Le is already confused, and he can't remember the days clearly. But listening to this meaning, Zhang Changxiu didn't find out what he said in his conscience after solving the Gu, and he hooked the corners of his lips without being salty or light.
"Then he probably said it because he was disgusted with me."
She is grateful to Zhang Changxiu who saved her, and what Zhang Changxiu did in the past, she still couldn't think of any better.
"My mother-in-law has lived for most of her life, and she thinks she understands." Aunt Rong said slowly, "After Madame left, the head of the family came to the pot courtyard from time to time, less during the day and more at night. The pot yard is almost, and the lights are held every night. ”
Chang Le looked at her in astonishment. When she came, because of the earthquake caused by the mine, the pot yard was also a mess, and she thought that the pot yard had always been a desolate place.
"The head of the family has a wife in his heart, and when he says this kind of thing, he naturally thinks about his wife, and he is not half disgusted."
"Maybe, Aunt Rong misunderstood." Chang Le still couldn't believe that Zhang Changxiu had thought about this kind of thing so kindly and thoughtfully in the state of Zhonggu, "He firmly believes that he will not die early, so how can he think about the aftermath in advance?" ”
"The mother-in-law doesn't know what the head of the house said to his wife, but the head of the house has always been a knife-mouthed tofu heart."
Chang Le was silent, he clearly understood in his heart, and he was also a little relieved by the previous Chang Le.
It seems that Zhang Changxiu still has feelings for the original owner, after all, under the suppression of Gu poison, he can still do this kind of thing.
This Changxiu is a soft-hearted person, and he spoke so resolutely before, but he didn't expect to leave her a book of harmony.
"The head of the family is getting sicker and worse, and knowing that his life is short, he left a letter for his mother-in-law to give to his wife behind him."
As she spoke, Aunt Rong took out an envelope from her arms.
The envelope was clean and there was nothing. Chang Le didn't hesitate, but took it from her with due curiosity.
The letter was really sloppy, and the seal was not glued with paste. Chang Le took out the letter paper inside, opened it slowly, and jumped into his eyes with the three words of Nuoda.
"And the ...... of the book"
Hearing Chang Le's soft exhalation, a slight smile appeared on the corner of Aunt Rong's mouth, whose eyes had not been glazed.
The handwriting is upright and powerful, and the lines are neatly arranged, which is very beautiful. Chang Le can only understand a small half, and the other half is also guessed. There are not many words, and the words are very formulaic.
It's a letter of regularity and resignation. After the payment, Zhang Changxiu's position has been signed, and his handprint has been stamped, and Chang Le's position is still empty.
"Look, is there any mention of anything evil I've done?" Chang Le handed the book to Aunt Rong.
Aunt Rong has always been the housekeeper and mother-in-law of the Taishou Mansion, and she naturally knows the words, so she quickly glanced at it twice, and said seriously: "Since it is a book of harmony, where can you say bad things about Mrs. Rong?" It's just that because you have been married for a long time, your affection is getting shallower, so it is better to get along and find another good partner. ”
Chang Le suspiciously took back the book from her hand again, and carefully looked at every word on it again. After getting the book of harmony in her heart, she didn't seem to be as ecstatic as she imagined, only infinite desolation.
"If all the conspiracies have nothing to do with you, what is the difficulty for you to grow old together?"
How can we meet each other under mutual torture?
The original owner has been gone for so long, and the two may not be able to meet in Huangquan and let go of their previous feelings.
In the face of this letter and the departure letter, she felt a little unaware.
She only borrowed the body of the original owner and never participated in the story between the two of them. inexplicably replaced the original owner, and came to an end with Zhang Changxiu, drawing a successful end to the story of the two of them.
From beginning to end, she should have participated in this tortuous story, but she has always been an outsider. The injuries on the body are vivid, and although the scars are gone, the pain is still clear.
Could all this be a side effect of crossing?
"If Mrs. doesn't want to do these troublesome things, as long as she signs and leaves, she will no longer be Mrs. Taishou, and she doesn't have to meddle in family affairs."
"Anyway, I have the book in my hand, and it won't be in the way if I sign it later." Chang Le took a deep breath, folded the book and left the book, put it back in the envelope, stuffed it into his arms, put it away properly, and rested his hands on the table, "Let's talk about what you have to do after this cooking." ”
……
The mine was over, and all the news was announced through an official announcement.
Li Zhuo, the county historian, colluded with various merchants led by Jin Chusheng, and secretly transported gunpowder and blew up the mines with the motive of causing trouble and wealth in the thirteen counties. In the process of catching the enemy, Taishou Zhang Changxiu was unfortunately blown up, and Li Zhuo, the county historian, also died of his crimes. Jin Chusheng and others were sentenced to behead after the autumn, have no money to raid their homes, men were exiled to the frontier for servitude, and women were exiled to Lingnan as slaves, and they were not allowed to return to their hometowns for life. Li Zhuo's mansion was directly sat down and beheaded after the autumn.
Hua Chu'er of the Hua family is also Li Zhuo's comrade, hiding in the Taishou Mansion, seducing and framing Taishou Zhang Changxiu, and has committed suicide in prison. Her maid was like jade, she repented of her mistakes, confessed the truth, remembered that she was forced, and was sentenced to three years in prison.
Before the new Taishou and the county history took office, all the affairs of the thirteen counties were managed by Thorn Shijiang Congshan.
When everything is in order, the city is settled, and the people can talk freely in peace. However, because of the mine explosion and the earthquake, many families in the city have suffered, and they are busy with renovations, so they have no time to do more analysis and chat.
Since Chang Le returned to Taishou Mansion, he has been busy arranging Zhang Changxiu's funeral.
first invited someone to summon the soul with Zhang Changxiu's court clothes, and then set up a curtain.
A big white lantern was hung in front of the Taishou Mansion, and there was a white mourning atmosphere inside and out.
