Chapter XII
"Where's your family?" Shutan asked Song Shuyu with his head in his hand.
She took the medicine from Mr. Yun and came back, but Granny Chunzhi was not in the hospital.
Only one Song Shuyu was lying in front of the table, he was wrapped in a dirty green jacket from Fugui, and his head sank and he was napping there.
Fugui has a strong body like a cow, and his fat and big green jacket is put on the thin Song Shuyu, which is simply funny and funny.
Song Shuyu hunched his waist, like a little old man. Shu Tan secretly snickered in his heart.
"Hmm......" Hearing this, Song Shuyu woke up from a dream, raised his eyelids and glanced at Shutan.
His eyebrows and eyes were clear and cold, like a lonely and white moon in the forest, like cold snow that no one stepped on by the river.
Shu Tan's little face turned red, she covered her chest, and for some reason it was fluttering inside.
Mother-in-law Chunzhi returned to the courtyard in a trance, and when she entered the house, she only heard Song Shuyu talking there, her voice was clear and warm.
"My father was a gambler, and he was a drunkard all day long, and beatings were commonplace.
A few days ago, there was a plague in the northern part of Chu State, and people were panicked. I also suddenly fell ill and couldn't get out of bed. His mother couldn't stand him in the first place, so she took advantage of the chaos at home, packed up her baggage, and ran away.
My father also found a mass grave far away, threw me away, and left......."
Song Shuyu said lightly, as if he was talking about someone else's family.
He lowered his eyes, the faint candle flame bewildering his face.
He had to lie, the woman didn't know he was alive. He feared that they would also abandon him, so he took him to the woman and asked for a reward.
He could see that the life of the master and servant was not easy, and he might have taken him in only because he had saved the child.
He's profitable for them, and he can't make sure that if they are told who they are, what they'll do.
"I have no home, I am alone, I don't know ......where to go," Song Shuyu said again, his voice was soft and soft when he said this.
Like a discarded puppy, whimpering.
Granny Chunzhi raised her head and glanced at Song Shuyu.
Shutan also looked stunned, she didn't expect Song Shuyu to be so miserable.
Shu Tan felt that he was pitiful.
She didn't want to say anything comforting. She knows that when others comfort you with sincerity and sincerity, it is the most hurtful when they pity you.
Shu Tan said "oh--", pretended not to care, and hurriedly got up and went to the firewood room to serve food.
Looking at the back of Shutan who disappeared into the black night, Chunzhi's mother-in-law walked to Song Shuyu's side step by step......
When Shutan came in from the firewood room with a bowl, Mother-in-law Chunzhi and Song Shuyu sat around the wooden table, a faint red candle flowing with candle tears.
Song Shuyu's expression was as usual, supporting her head and waiting for Shutan to bring the rice over, but Granny Chunzhi's eyes were slightly red and her eyes were shining.
Shutan put the bowl on the table, brought a bench and sat down.
"Girl, Mrs. told me that the Lu family is going to move to the capital at the end of this year......" The three of them were eating, and Chunzhi's mother-in-law said suddenly.
Hearing this, Shu Tan looked up in surprise.
Looking at Shutan's face, the words choked in her throat by Granny Chunzhi swallowed again.
Song Shuyu looked tired and kept eating his own food, not paying attention to the master and servant next to him at all.
Shu Tan lowered his head again, half of his expression was hidden in the shadows that could not be illuminated by the candlelight, and muttered: "The eldest brother is deeply valued by the prince, he has made achievements in the capital, and the master has also risen step by step, it is natural for the Lu family to go to the capital......"
Her tone was flat, but her expression was dark, and the meaning in her eyes was unclear.
She guessed that she was going to be discarded......
-
The Lu family was going to move to the capital, and the whole house was overjoyed.
Lu Changyu also forgot his previous dissatisfaction with his father at this time, and buried his head in Liu's arms coquettishly: "Mother, I heard that people in the capital are very magnificent!" When the day is free, my mother and I will go to the Jade Dress Pavilion to buy a few beautiful clothes. ”
Liu smiled softly and patted Lu Changyu's head with his hand.
Granny Jin came in with a bow through the doorway.
"The lord stayed with that today?" Liu's smiling eyes were also cold, and he asked Mrs. Jin Zhi with a side face.
Mother-in-law Jin Zhi leaned over and said, "Today, the master came back from the shopkeeper Zhang's place and went there. ”
Liu sneered, twisting the clothes in his hand and almost gritting his teeth: "A fox girl who is blown down by the wind is really lowly, but the old man is also an illiterate, and he stays in that fox cave every day!" ”
Mother-in-law Jin Zhi nodded, paused and said: "Listen to Yinzhi said, that Qinglian is looking forward to the master at the door before it gets dark, it's really skinless and faceless!" ”
"Humph! I must be using that delicate look to tease the old man......."
Lu Changyu really didn't want to listen to this, so he hurriedly diverted the topic: "Is it okay for my mother to accompany me to buy things tomorrow, I want to prepare early." ”
Liu Shi looked at his daughter lying in her arms, rubbing her eyes with her jade hands like a dough, looking like a delicate and pitiful person, and the depression in her heart couldn't help but disappear mostly: "You little girl, you want to come out all day long." ”
Lu Changyu arched into Liu's arms again, giggling.
Except for the woman Qinglian, the Liu family is actually happy about moving to Beijing.
Step by step, the future is bright, and the surrounding is red-eyed, who is not happy?
It's just that it hasn't been jubilant for a few days, and the atmosphere in the Lu family is weird.
Lu Changyu slammed the burden she had just taken from the Jade Dress Pavilion on the bed, she stomped her feet in anger and gritted her teeth and dropped a few more teacups.
Liu Shi also entered the house with a gloomy face: "What are you doing here!" Isn't that shameful enough? ”
"Mother! They...... They say that about you! I...... I'm going to tell my father and my big brother to pull out their tongues! Lu Changyu angrily wanted to snatch the door.
Liu Shi grabbed Chang Yu's sleeve and pulled her back, she forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart: "You calm down!" We're going to get out of this place where birds don't, so don't bother anymore! ”
"But that Xu Wenjue is talking such nonsense, will he be spared like this!" Lu Changyuqi's little face was flushed, his hands were clenched into small fists, and he asked Liu Shi with a frown.
Liu Shi didn't speak, Xu was angry, and his brain hurt with anger, so he rubbed the side of his head with his hand.
I still have to start a few days ago.
A few nights ago, a few swinger brothers gathered in the Yunwang Tower to drink.
In addition to having fun, when the wine comes up, there are those idle jokes -
"Brother Wen Jue is only eight buckets tall and well-informed. I don't know which little lady will be able to get into the eyes of our Brother Wen Jue in the future. Zhang Cai shook his head and stretched out his thumb to show respect
"On your terms, you want to give the daughter of Lu Mansion to Brother Wen Jue as his wife...... Belch! Zhang Cai drunkenly burped as he spoke.
"Yes, the boss of the Lu family is really capable, not to mention Tanhua a few years ago, and now he is also a celebrity in front of the prince." Wang Hu stepped forward and exclaimed.
“…… Not really! In the past few days, the Lu family has been busy moving to Beijing again! ”
When someone started, these boys and brothers exploded, and every word you said to me shook out the news that you heard the true and false.
touted the Lu family to the sky, and there was inevitably some envy between the words.
Who knew that Xu Wenjue sneered, I don't know if it was with alcohol or what, and said softly: "What if my father and brother are high?" I choose a wife based on my identity. ”
For a moment, the noisy seat was a little quiet.
"What does Brother Xu mean by this?" Someone asked.
Xu Wenjue shook his head and sneered, "You don't know ......", the audience listened to him with their ears, but he was silent.
"Brother Xu, talk quickly, don't sell Guan Zi to make fun of us!" Wang Hu completely seemed to have lost his sense of alcohol, and his red eyes were like a copper bell.
"Heh......"
Xu Wenjue was not in a hurry, picked up the wine glass in front of him and took a sip lightly, and then said quietly in the eager eyes of everyone: "You may not know...... This Lu Zhi County, there was originally a wife in the main house.
The current one used to be a tea seller, and she used to be in front of the pawnshop on West Street of my house! ”
As soon as Xu Wenjue said a word, some of the sons and brothers next to him became lively, some were surprised, some gossiped, and some looked like they were watching the play.
"Brother Wen Jue, can you take this seriously?" Zhang Cai hurriedly asked.
"The eldest lady who passed away a few years ago was very lively, like a tigress, which made the Lu family restless, and the surrounding area had long been spread, but then the lady somehow seemed to hang herself, and Lu Zhixian didn't let people mention it, and it gradually faded."
Xu Wenjue was drunk at this time, and the more he talked, the more excited he became, "After that lady passed away, our county lady filled this gap and flew on the branches overnight......"
"No matter what, this Lu Nianyu is also an upright daughter of the county, and her identity is noble, Brother Xu don't want to talk about it again!"
There was an enthusiastic person in the crowd who was afraid that Xu Wenjue would say too much and leave trouble, so he hurriedly reminded him.
"Noble? Although my Xu family is not a Gundam dignitary, we are also innocent! No matter how powerful her family is, she will never ......"
The more Xu Wenjue spoke, the more he said, shaking his head and saying there sentence after sentence.
In fact, it was just drunken nonsense, and it was over after listening to it.
But this is involved, that is involved. After some embellishment by someone with a heart, it somehow spread out, and in an instant, Lu Mansion became a joke after dinner.
