Chapter 161: The water chestnut returns
After about an hour, the tenth princess departed. After all, she said that she was a two-body person, but Song Zhi was still worried, so she asked Cha Yun to escort the tenth princess all the way back. The tenth princess saw that Song Zhi was still intimate with her, which made her feel a lot more relieved.
It was Song Zhi who had been restless since the tenth princess left, not because of what the tenth princess said, but because the water chestnut had not returned.
Just as Song Zhi and Zhu Yue were thinking about her marriage, this marriage was simple and simple, it was just two like-minded people worshipping heaven and earth and inviting relatives and friends to have a banquet together.
But it's complicated and complicated, just Song Zhi and Zhuyue can't hold it up, and it is inevitable that there will be some omissions. Fortunately, although the mothers in the house are a little older, they are still in good spirits. With these mothers working for the month by month, there must be nothing wrong with it.
"Madame, you have given too much." Looking at the gift list that Qin's mother gave herself that day, it was an arm's length, densely filled with all kinds of things. Pots and pans, curtains and quilts are not written on it at all, which is really more beautiful than the marriage of ordinary young ladies.
"Really? I don't think so. Song Zhi thought about the gift list she had opened, and she didn't think there was anything too outstanding, but she also wanted to add a few boxes of jewelry to the month.
'I don't like gold and silver month by month, so why don't you get some jade and jade jewelry?' ’
Seeing Song Zhi looking thoughtful, she hurriedly said, "Madam, don't add anything to me, there are people gossiping outside." ”
"What are you gossiping? Who dares to gossip? Song Zhi sipped the words of different styles and said.
Yue Yue knew that he had said the wrong thing, but he didn't dare to hide it, so he only said: "It's just that some people in the outer courtyard are broken." ”
"But I said that I emptied the palace to make a dowry for my henchmen?" Song Zhi picked up a piece of paper-cut with a small Xi character around the big Xi character and said.
Moon by month didn't dare to respond, only exclaimed: "You are really clairvoyant." ”
Song Zhi's slender fingers pressed the paper cut in his hand to the eyes of the moon, and said, "That's it." Okay? ”
I picked it up month by month and looked at it, and said with a smile: "This style is so fresh and beautiful." Madame has a good eye, so let's do it. ”
"Hey, I'll marry you first. I'm also so familiar with it, in the future, meteors and water chestnuts will be married to you one by one! Song Zhi handed over the style he had chosen to Cha Ming and asked her to order the paper-cutting shop to make it.
"Those two girls haven't been scratched yet, especially the water chestnut, this girl is silent in front of outsiders, and she is alive and kicking in front of acquaintances, and it is a cannon battle to provoke her. The slave couldn't think of any man who could match her. "I really think about it month by month.
"Why hasn't the water chestnut come back yet?" Speaking of water chestnut, Song Zhi became worried again.
Month by month, he also said, "Yes." The water chestnut has no shadow, and the slave and maid sent someone out to look for it, but there is no shadow! ”
"Something must be wrong, right?" Song Zhi crumpled the red paper in his hand into a ball, spread it out again, and looked at the wrinkled appearance of the red paper, feeling a little apprehensive.
Looking at the red paper in Song Zhi's palm month by month, he suddenly heard the sound of a meteor outside, and seemed to hear the name of the water chestnut.
Month by month hurriedly hugged Song Zhi to get up, the two walked to the door, only to see the water chestnut walking in from the gate of the courtyard with the support of the meteor, her steps were weak and weak, and her lips were pale.
What made Song Zhi even more strange was that Song Ling was following behind them, he was half-holding a pair of hands, not knowing where to put it, looking a little embarrassed and redundant.
"What's going on?" Song Zhi walked down the steps wearing a pair of soft embroidered shoes, his steps were so eager that he almost fell, but fortunately let Zhuyue hold him up.
Everyone was shocked, and Song Ling jumped to the bottom of the steps all of a sudden.
"Madame!" The water chestnut brushed aside the meteor's hand, and as soon as he took a few steps, he let out a muffled cry of pain, and then collapsed to the ground.
Song Ling had eyes behind her, and caught the water chestnut as soon as she turned around.
The water chestnut was wearing an indigo shirt, and the color of the area on his abdomen slowly darkened.
The water chestnut looked at his wound and said weakly: "Why is it so useless, and the wound will crack open after just moving." ”
"What are you talking about? Do you think you're beaten with iron!? Song Ling heard that the water chestnut was still in the mood to make her own jokes at this time, and her heart was mixed for a while.
Song Ling carried the water chestnut into the house, and the maids in the courtyard all consciously turned around, and they didn't dare to leak half a word.
Meteor ran to call the doctor, Song Zhi and Zhuyue followed Song Ling into the house, Song Zhi went straight around Song Ling who was standing next to the bed and said to the water chestnut: "How did you make it like this?" Who hurt you? ”
The water chestnut pulled out a laborious smile and said, "I can't blame anyone about this, it's my own bad luck." ”
"How do you say that?" Song Zhi looked at the wound on the abdomen of the water chestnut, and felt a panic in his heart. "What the hell is going on? Brother, how could you send the water chestnut back? ”
Song Ling was just about to come back, when he saw Meteor coming in a hurry with the doctor, Song Ling glanced at the water chestnut and said, "Let's go out and talk." Let the water chestnut have a good rest. ”
The water chestnut turned her head, her body was trapped in the soft silk forging, but she couldn't move, she was drained of all her strength, and could only lie on the bed in embarrassment. Hearing this, she nodded, her eyes flickered a little when she looked at Song Zhi, if it weren't for Song Zhi being in the clouds at this time, she could find that the water chestnut had not looked at Song Ling from beginning to end, not like indifference, but like wanting to cover up.
"Brother, what the hell is going on?" Before the two of them sat down, Song Zhi said hurriedly.
Song Ling rubbed her eyebrows and said, "I bumped into her." ”
"What do you mean?" Song Zhi was puzzled and said, "I sent the water chestnut to check on Song Yan, and you also went to check on Song Yan?" ”
"No, I'm checking the old ministry of the Eighth Prince." Song Ling leaned back in the chair and lowered his eyes to see Cha Yun bring him a cup of eight-point hot strong tea.
He took it up and drank half a bowl like a cow drinking water, and said with a sigh: "I just found the Eighth Imperial Concubine, but I don't know how the water chestnut was found from Song Yan to the Eighth Imperial Concubine." ”
Because the Eighth Imperial Concubine is the daughter of the King of Runan, the surname of the King of Runan was crowned king, which shows that the military merits are outstanding, and because the Imperial Concubine Chu herself is not on good terms with the Eighth Emperor, and there is no heir between the two, so she escaped a catastrophe, she did not return to her parents' house for some reason, and still lived in the old house of the Eighth Emperor, but only removed the plaque and left a 'Shen Mansion'.
"I couldn't see that woman was quite powerful, no wonder the Eighth Prince didn't dare to mess with her more when he was there. There were many crossbows hidden in the vines on the courtyard wall, and when the girl saw the ones that had leaked outside, she thought that she was safe, and missed one in the corner, and was struck by the crossbows. ”
Song Ling's cup saw the bottom, and he added it for him month by month.
The meridians at the corners of Song Ling's forehead jumped obviously, and he didn't know what he thought, he continued: "She was injured and couldn't hide her figure, which alarmed the imperial concubine. The woman did not embarrass her, but bandaged her wounds. When I met the water chestnut, she had been in the palace for a few days, and when she escaped, she was wounded and almost fainted, so I brought her back. For more detailed things, you have to ask about water chestnuts. ”
"Eighth Imperial Concubine Chu?"
Song Zhi caught this person from his own memories, and vaguely remembered that he had a good impression of her, "She imprisoned water chestnut? Her tone was hesitant.
"I look at the appearance of the water chestnut, but I can't talk about captivity, but she didn't take the initiative to explain to you, which is a little weird." Song Ling drank two cups of hot tea on an empty stomach, and now her stomach is even more empty.
Song Zhi saw Song Ling like this, and the courtyard was chaotic, so he didn't leave him to eat, so he 'drove him back' back to the Lin Mansion directly.
Song Ling's expression seemed to be a little hesitant when he left, he paused on the edge of the orchid bush, and rubbed his feet on the bluestone brick floor of the courtyard.
The moon that sent him out subconsciously glanced at it, and saw that the soles of his feet were clean and there were no mud stains, and he didn't understand what his intentions were for this action.
Song Ling tilted her head slightly and said to Zhuyue: "How is this girl's body, you can send me a letter tomorrow." ”
Zhuyue felt that Song Ling's request was a little awkward, but she didn't think about it, nor did she show it on her face, she just blessed and said, "Yes." ”
I don't know when the moonlight started, it flowed down silently, spread all over the ground, looking at his shallow shadow month by month, and heard the footsteps of Dr. Wu and the meteor.
"Skin trauma, this girl's body is very hard, just rest for a few days. It's just that you can't move anymore, so as not to involve the wound, if it cracks again, it will definitely leave obvious scars! Doctor Wu handed the medicine box to the little medicine boy beside him and said.
Moon by Moon Chong Meteor nodded, and the two entered the house together, replying to Song Zhi's words.
Song Zhi said: "Let her rest first, and I'll talk about something tomorrow." ”
Unexpectedly, on the second day, before Song Zhi could talk to the water chestnut, the Eighth Imperial Concubine came to the door by herself.
"Don't call me the Eighth Imperial Princess, are you laughing at me? Call me Shadow Orchid. Her face was ruddy, her eyes were clear, and she looked very moist.
"Shadow Orchid?" Song Zhi subconsciously repeated, but he didn't expect Chu Yinglan to respond with a smile, which made Song Zhi a little embarrassed.
Song Zhi didn't speak, just listened to what Chu Yinglan was talking about, Chu Yinglan saw that Song Zhi just looked at her with a calm face, and said with a smile: "It seems that the princess is not interested in these words." ”
"I want to know something, you know." The friend and foe in front of him were unknown, and Song Zhi didn't want to use any good face to face Chu Yinglan.
'A good beauty, not talking or laughing, still good-looking with a straight face. Chu Yinglan looked at Song Zhi and said in her heart.
She touched a small fan-shaped stone sculpture that Song Zhi placed on the table, and said, "Aqiao, let's explain." ”
Ah Qiao took a step forward and said to Song Zhi: "Princess, the water chestnut girl is just recuperating from her injuries in my mansion." She left last night without saying a word, and we were still wondering. ”
