Chapter Forty-Eight: The Moon Goes Downstairs
Zhuang Rou looked at Zhuang Xuewen seriously, the two of them didn't say it so directly, but now they can't pick up the conversation.
She looked at it for a while before saying, "I don't know, I just want my brother to live safely for a hundred years, what my brother did is too dangerous." That time, I saw that you came back from injury, and if it was just a little crooked, my brother might have died. ”
"I don't want to lose my brother, as long as I can let you live safely and stay away from danger, I can do anything." She covered her face and said very annoyedly, and she also knew that she had done something to trouble Zhuang Xuewen all day long, which made him tired of cleaning up the aftermath very annoying.
After causing so many things over the years, she couldn't keep her brother out of danger in the end, and pushed him further in step by step, she didn't know what she was doing.
Zhuang Xuewen stopped the carriage, turned around and sat down, touched her head and said, "Xiaorou, do what you want to do, you live yours, I live mine." My brother is always your back, but I don't want you to be like this all the time. ”
These words made Zhuang Rou raise his head, and looked at him blankly, only the words of each life in his mind, could it be that he already hated himself?
Seeing her stupidity, Zhuang Xuewen knew that she didn't know where to go, so he smiled and said: "Don't think nonsense, it's not that I hate Xiaorou anymore, but I think Xiaorou can do a lot of meaningful things." You don't have to worry about me, I haven't been taking care of you for so many years, but now I feel that you can take care of yourself, and you can also be a pillar for your brother, and I will rely on you when there is danger. ”
Zhuang Rou was suddenly stunned, when his brother was in danger, he had to rely on himself, why couldn't he think of this before. Since my brother can tolerate his own misdeeds, he can also protect my brother.
No matter what his brother does, as long as he protects him when he is in danger, then he can live as he wants.
She asked anxiously: "Brother, have you been very unhappy in the past few years, because I always have to force you to go, so you are not happy?" ”
"No, being able to get you back is the greatest happiness for me, even if you are always messing around, I won't hate you." Zhuang Xuewen smiled and scratched her nose.
"I'm talking about letting you live the life you want to live and do what you want, not what I'm going to ask you to do for me. If you're pushing yourself for me, then I really hate you. ”
He said with a serious expression: "My sister who can't even be happy is not my Xiaorou." ”
Zhuang Rou said rarely: "But I don't know what to do, and I just want to make trouble for my brother, and my brother said this, I feel very confused." ”
"Then look for it slowly, do you feel happy to do it now?" Zhuang Xuewen asked.
Happy?
Zhuang Rou had never thought about this, she lowered her head and thought carefully for a long time, and finally raised her head and said: "I don't know if I'm happy or not, but if it's exciting, I can catch bad guys." But whether it's something I really want to do is not clear. ”
"It's okay, one day you'll find out what you want to do. Just like me, as long as there is a goal, I will do it without hesitation, no matter how difficult it is. Zhuang Xuewen patted her head and smiled.
"I also hope that you can do this, you can have something to challenge, even if you are a girl, don't do nothing and don't know what you are doing."
Zhuang Rou asked curiously, "Brother, what do you want to do?" ”
Zhuang Xuewen laughed and said: "Secret, you have to let my brother have a little selfishness that can't be said." ”
"......" Zhuang Rou looked at him puzzled, and suddenly felt that his brother was a mystery, and what he had done was what she knew, no matter how she looked at it, it was a little strange.
"Let's go, there's a big show to watch tomorrow." As soon as Zhuang Xuewen drove the carriage, he drove to the said residence.
It was a quiet little courtyard, sandwiched between two large mansions, except for a very small courtyard, there was only a small two-story building. Downstairs there is a main hall and a small kitchen plus a side hall, and upstairs there are only two houses, a small bathroom and a terrace.
There are some plants planted on the platform, and tables and chairs are arranged, and it is a good thing to cool off here in the summer.
Zhuang Xuewen parked the carriage at the door, plugged in the door and led her upstairs, pointed to one of the side rooms and said: "Usually if you can't go back, you can live here, and during the day an old couple will come to clean the house, and the rest will be handled by yourself." ”
"Brother, who are the two next door?" Zhuang Rou didn't look at the house much, but looked at the courtyards on both sides, and this big mansion looked like a big man.
This small courtyard is really well located, just sandwiched in the middle, so you don't have to crowd into the street to save noise.
Zhuang Xuewen said casually: "On the left is the Dezhuang of the King of Yinde County, and on the right is the annex of the general of Zhenguo, and now only the general's wife is here to recuperate." ”
"Huh?" Zhuang Rou looked at the left in surprise, and said speechlessly, "Brother, why do you get a house here, that guy is not fun at all, why don't you come here in the middle of the night to throw stones and smash my window and tell me to get up and work." ”
"He dares!" Zhuang Xuewen smiled slightly, and said in an unkind tone.
Zhuang Rou sighed in her heart, even if this yard was borrowed from a friend, it must have been specially brought by my brother. If he dared to bully himself next door to the little king, his brother would be able to throw snakes into his courtyard while standing on the roof.
Living so close, it's quite easy to get revenge.
There was no one here, so Zhuang Xuewen boiled the water, mentioned the upstairs bathroom, put the bath water for Zhuang Rou, and told her not to fall asleep in the bathtub before returning to her room.
Looking at her mother-like brother, Zhuang Rou just smiled hard, she liked Zhuang Xuewen's nagging, and her family was like this.
There was blood all over the clothes, and it was not easy to wash it off, Zhuang Rou took off her clothes and soaked them in water, only feeling that her whole body was comfortable.
After meeting an assassin, it is the most beautiful thing in the world to be able to take a hot bath alive and sleep beautifully.
The water was hot, and she was a little drowsy in the heat, and her head began little by little, and she was almost asleep in the bathtub.
At this moment, a cool breeze suddenly blew, making her shoulders feel a little cold. Just as I was looking up in a daze, I heard someone laughing, "If you fall asleep, you will drown in the bath." ”
This voice was not Zhuang Xuewen's, Zhuang Rou suddenly shook his head and completely sobered up.
She turned around in the bathtub and saw that the window that had been closed had been opened at some point, and a handsome man in a royal blue brocade dress with slightly raised eyebrows and eyes like a fox was sitting against the window frame.
The man was holding a white ivory fan, holding it to his lips and squinting and smiling.
Zhuang Rou looked at him silently for a few breaths before asking, "Who are you?" ”
"It doesn't matter who I am, I just came to smell the scent of the little wildflower, and I was afraid that she would be covered with thorns, so I had to wait until she was in the water to dare to see her." The man spoke, and his voice was so good that he couldn't help but want to hear more.
But Zhuang Rou was unmoved, she tilted her head and asked curiously, "Assassin leader?" ”
When the man heard this, he immediately slapped the fan, and said a little sadly: "In Xiahuayulou, I saw the girl in Zhuyulou a few days ago, and it was really majestic." Today, I accidentally bumped into the girl's look in the county government, and I felt that it was really different, so I wanted to come to see the girl to relieve my lovesickness. ”
"Huayulou......" Zhuang Rou frowned, feeling that she seemed to have heard this name somewhere, but she couldn't remember anything.
"Your name is Zhuang Rou, right, dignified and generous, tender like water, what a good name." Hua Yulou sat on the window frame and finished speaking, and jumped in directly.
He walked to a stop three feet from the tub, and didn't come any further, but glanced at the laundry that had been thrown on the chair next to him, and on which the blood-stained iron rod was piled up.
"You're afraid of me?" Zhuang Rou saw him looking at his weapon, so he asked.
Hua Yulou squinted his eyes and laughed, "Of course, I'm afraid that your thorns will pierce my hands, so if you want to pick them, you naturally have to be careful." ”
"Wait, I know who you are!" Zhuang Rou thought about it fiercely, who this person was.
Although she doesn't like to participate in girls' parties, she will still be forced by Zhuang Xuewen to go some, and at those girls' tea parties, she often hears someone mention a man named Hua Yulou with a shy face.
He was a flower thief, but he was a guy who liked flowers.
It is rumored among girls that he is an extremely good-looking, gentle and considerate and funny person, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and even the voice of speech can make people listen to it as if they were fascinated.
He doesn't go directly to other people's beds, and he likes to talk about flowers and moons with women in the middle of the night, which makes all women want to elope with him, even if they promise each other.
The clever thing is here, the women are infatuated with him and take the initiative to promise him, even after the incident, they refuse to hand him over.
There was even a woman who was pregnant, and she didn't want to come out to identify him if she couldn't find him, and she was forced to commit suicide in order to protect him.
Even so, those women who committed suicide for him were privately lamented by other girls who were pregnant with spring, praising her for being a brave woman who worked hard for her love.
Among these girls who marry all up to their families, it is difficult to have their own choices, and they dream that they also have such a poignant love, Hua Yulou can't get half a sentence of scolding, and some just have more longing.
Zhuang Rou didn't expect this shameless flower thief to appear in his window, he was blind.
Or the usually gentle girl picks too much, and suddenly wants to change the taste and taste something different.
"Hua Yulou, the most famous flower thief in the capital, you will automatically send it to the door, then I will accept it unceremoniously. The cell of the Douhu County Ya is already so hungry and thirsty that only you are missing. She grinned.
Hua Yulou paused slightly, took a step forward, stretched out his hand to touch her, and said with a foxy smile: "If you dare to stand up from the water, I am willing to sit in the cell." ”
Zhuang Rou's eyes lit up, and he was about to rush out of the water.
At this time, the door was directly knocked open, and a figure rushed over, only to see Hua Yulou being kicked away, breaking through the window and falling directly on the platform.
