Chapter XXVIII
Fate is doomed to tragedy.
It's like a rat crossing the street who doesn't know that he has to be shouted and beaten by everyone when he walks in front of the public, and he doesn't know that he will be disgusted by people when he is born.
This is its life, forever envious of the colorful, innocent and sinful outside.
Shuhuai found a few servants to dig a pit, and went out with Shutan to bury the drowned dogs.
Shuhuai cried so much that he left the surviving little yellow dog in Sister A's yard, he was afraid that Sister Changyu would be angry when she brought it back.
When he left, he told him a thousand times, and ten thousand were not at ease.
Song Shuyu also went into the water because of the cold night, and the whole person was out of energy for the past few days.
The days have entered March, the weather is starting to get warmer, the sun is good, and when Shutan went into the house to look for Song Shuyu, he was sleeping heavily under a thick quilt.
He just moved a magnolia in the yard a few days ago, and the white magnolia flowers bloomed in clusters outside the window, which made Song Shuyu's handsome young face calmer, and seemed to be familiar with all the excitement.
Shu Tan wanted to wake him up, but her fingers accidentally touched him, and she noticed that his fingertips were a little shaking, and the temperature on his skin was cold and damp.
"Shuyu, Shuyu, are you sick?" She asked, grabbing his hand.
Song Shuyu opened his eyes coyly, retracted his hand into the quilt, and was silent like a dumb person.
"I'll get you a doctor!" As he spoke, Shu Tan turned his head to leave.
"No!" Song Shuyu hurriedly grabbed her, her jade face was dyed red, and she sighed lightly: "No, I have been weak since I was a child, and cold and fever are commonplace, just lie down for two days." ”
His eyelids were really sour, so he didn't say much, and after a while he closed his eyes again and fell into a deep sleep.
Shutan couldn't stay in the house, always thinking about doing something, so he went to the firewood room to cook for Song Shuyu.
She has raw hands, boiling water from the pot makes black smoke billowing out, sobbing horizontally, looking at it from a distance, it looks like a demon is in the catastrophe.
When Song Shuyu woke up again, what he saw when he opened his eyes was the simple top of the bed.
It was noon, and the white curtain was shining white with the sun.
He squinted, his body stiffened a little, and he wanted to turn over, but he saw a few plates of soup and a plate of red dates on the table.
Song Shuyu was a little stunned.
He got out of bed, his head still groggy and aching, and he picked up the bowl of porridge and tasted it.
The choking thick smell is mixed with a mushy smell.
Song Shuyu smiled silently, the sun shining on his delicate face, a little gentle.
He picked up the chopsticks that were resting aside, and pulled the porridge with his head up and ate it all.
I have never drunk such porridge, so unpalatable, so delicious.
From the moment he was born, he was a man.
It had always been in that palace, like a canary in a palatial cage, and he watched in silence year after year.
Whether it was a person with a bowed head or a noble head, one by one he opened the palace door with a blank face, and quietly closed the door and left.
Plain and bland, looking at them as if there was a puppet hidden in their bodies.
In front of him, one by one, there were majestic and noble faces, jade hands that reprimanded and scolded him and pointed at his head, and cautious bowing and kneeling, many, many more.
There is no one like these months who illuminates his heart with overgrown weeds.
The courtyard door creaked open, and Song Shuyu looked over with flashing eyes.
A few maids bowed their heads neatly in front of them, and Lu Changyu came over in a goose yellow jacket.
She frowned and looked around, she really didn't expect this yard to be so dilapidated, only a magnolia jade stood in the yard.
After spotting the side room, Lu Changyu looked for it, and she unceremoniously pushed the door in.
"It's a pity that such a cold and elegant magnolia is in this dilapidated cold courtyard......"
Before anyone arrived, the sound arrived first, and Lu Changyu walked in with dignity and raised his eyes to look at Song Shuyu.
He was dressed in a white undershirt with a loose black robe, and his hair was high and simple.
There is a lot of light, which makes his face whiter and whiter, and the light shines into his eyes, a pair of black eyes shine, and his pupils are like a quagmire, leading you to step in.
His eyes met Lu Changyu, but he didn't make a sound.
"What, you don't know me anymore?" His cold appearance seemed to make Lu Changyu unhappy, and when she raised her eyebrows, her tone became a little colder.
"Miss Changyu." Song Shuyu bowed his head and arched his hand.
Lu Changyu's face softened a little, she responded lightly, and said: "What I said to you that night was to go to my hospital to do things, I don't know if you have thought clearly?" ”
As she spoke, a girl next to her took a stool and placed it behind her.
Lu Changyu sat down with his head in his hand, twisted a red date in his hand and stuffed it into his mouth.
"I see how handsome you are, if you make me happy on weekdays, I will reward you, and you don't have to do these heavy chores in this broken yard."
"Think clearly, the next person only listens to the master's arrangement, so that the little one will not follow you, and I have to bother you to ask Miss Shutan."
Such a lukewarm tone made Lu Changyu angry.
This man is handsome, but his brain was bitten by a donkey!
"You don't have to work to serve me, you still have money to spend!"
Lu Changyuqi's nose bulged like a small trumpet, and she slapped the table heavily.
"It's good to be a slave and be loyal, but right now you can't be loyal if you want to." Lu Changyu suppressed his anger and closed his eyes and said calmly.
Song Shuyu looked at her with a frown.
She also raised her eyes to look at him, and snorted coldly: "I heard from the eldest brother that the second sister will marry a wife soon, and when she passes the door, you are a male servant, can you still bring you in?" ”
-
Lu Changyu's words were true, and at this time, Shutan was also hearing this, and knelt in the ancestral hall in a daze.
"Master, why, why do you suddenly want me to get married?"
She seemed to feel that she was dreaming, and she was so surprised that she couldn't say anything anymore.
Lu Shiting ignored her, looked at a portrait on the side wall of the ancestral hall, was silent for a long time, and said faintly: "Do you remember who she is?" ”
Shu Tan glanced up, his expression was a little complicated.
The woman's eyebrows and eyes in the portrait are five points similar to Shuhuai, how could she not know that it was her mother.
"I, Lu Shiting, have something to tell you today, and you kneel down in front of this portrait!" Lu Shiting said suddenly.
Shu Tan frowned when he heard this, he really didn't understand what the old man was thinking, but he also knelt on the ground obediently.
Two people, an ancestral hall, and a few white candles lit.
Lu Shiting looked at her deeply, and his face seemed to become paler.
His expression was solemn, and his tone was slightly deep, "Shutan you—not from me." ”
Shu Tan suspected that she had misheard, she was confused when she heard this, and her dream was not real.
She was about to get up and ask again what the master said, but she heard Lu Shiting speak again.
"More than ten years ago, I was just a poor talent, Wenjun didn't dislike me, and he smuggled with me to Wenli.
provoked the old man of the Qin family to be furious, and broke off with her in a fit of anger.
Wen Jun and I were kind and loving, and it didn't take long for me to be happy, and I was happy in my heart, but suddenly one day, Master Qin found me......"
Lu Shiting choked suddenly, his expression was pathetic, and his emotions became excited.
He took a deep breath: "I would never have thought that he would be so ruthless, that is his own grandson...... I, I'm also an ordinary man who wants fame and fortune after all...... He, he told me to exchange a baby girl who was still in swaddling clothes with my flesh and blood, and he said that he would give me an official job and give me fame...... I, I'm ......."
The emotions reached the depths, and he spoke upside down.
He actually lowered his head and pinched Shu Tan's chin again, trembling all over, his expression became more and more resolute, panting one by one, shaking his fingers and poking Shu Tan's head: "Yes, it's you...... Everything is yours ......."
Lu Shiting stumbled into the table and made a loud noise.
The sound scared a steward from outside, and he hurriedly stepped forward to join Lu Shiting.
"You made me lose my flesh and blood relatives, you made Wenjun depressed to death, I, I ......"
"You are unwell today, what is important for the master, let's talk to the second girl tomorrow." The steward's hand gave him a good hand and gave him intimate advice.
Lu Shiting was held in one hand, and his chest was pressed with the other hand, his voice was indistinct, and he stood for a while, and was finally taken away by the steward.
Lu Shiting's appearance just now seemed to pounce on her and tear her to pieces.
Shutan's face was white, his mind was chaotic, and he didn't know how long he had been kneeling.
What does that mean?
Shu Tan suddenly remembered that in the ethereal memory, his mother's strange and cold face and Lu Shiting's cold expression over the years.
She didn't know what to tell her when the old man came over, and what kind of unexpected ambush would wait for her in the future.
She didn't know how much she was thinking, it felt like she was hiding in a dream, no matter how impatient or urgent she was, she couldn't escape.
When her legs were numb and about to fall down, she looked out the window and realized that it was already dark, only to hear the sound of rain outside the window, and the rumbling thunder everywhere.
The first spring rain of the year seems to be coming.
