"...... of the Lady of the Rites"

Shangguan Li quickly carried Shangguan Yan behind him and walked towards the toast building, the two of them were of equal size, but he carried him without any effort.

I picked up the lantern and clumsily followed behind me.

Entering the toast building, it was a pony that night, napping with his head on his lean. Shangguan Li didn't wake him up to help, and went up to the third floor with Shangguan Yan on his back.

As soon as I entered the room, there was a rush of heat, mixed with the smell of alcohol, I choked violently but did not dare to cough, and quickly closed the door behind me.

Shangguan Li quietly instructed me to pour hot water and drain towels, while he helped Shangguan Yan to sit in front of the bed, removed his clothes and coat, wiped his face, neck and arms several times, and then helped him lie down, covered it with layers of cotton, and then took a medicine bottle from the drawer of the bedside table and fed him a pill.

This Shangguan Li, taking care of Shangguan Yan is really skilled and fluent, in fact, a family of brothers, where does it come from so much hatred, the front foot drove away Shangguan Yan, and the back foot still couldn't rest assured in his heart, so he quietly followed behind.

From cold to strangely warm, I didn't stand in the room for a while, and I felt itchy all over my body.

Shangguan Yan's face slowly improved, and he fell asleep, but his brows did not ease.

I was so hot that my palms were full of sweat, and the room was too hot, so I looked around, there were stoves in all four corners, there were several hot water bottles on the side of the washing shelf, two hot cowhide water bags were thrown at the head of the bed, and there were more quilts than in normal rooms.

Shangguan Li didn't react, this room was originally lived by him, he shouldn't have thought that Shangguan Yan would deliberately make the room so warm when he had a cold attack nearby, it seems that Shangguan Li is also afraid of cold.

There were a lot of wine bottles on the table, no wonder there was a smell of alcohol on my body, but after staying in the room for a long time, I didn't feel so strong.

Shangguan Li has been worrying about Shangguan Yan's forehead, like a meticulous big brother, during which I also watched him secretly turn around and cough a few times, seeing that he has not been in good health since the last time he quarreled with Shangguan Bo in the Yamen.

Is Shangguan Li's health bad? I haven't heard much of it, maybe he's too good at disguising it.

"What's wrong with you? Uncomfortable? Have you ever been to the doctor? ”

Shangguan Li suppressed the cough and pretended to be relaxed: "It's nothing to cough a few times when you're cold, maybe I'm angry with this guy - you are still worried about my brother made of cotton - the body made of cotton, the heart made of cotton, was originally warm and soft, but he suffered from cold disease that was colder than ice." ”

I glared at him: "It's still a joke when it's time - I'm a long-term sick person, and of course I know what the state of illness is." If you are sick, go see the doctor, if the hospital is not open, you come to my house, and I will ask Song Lingjian to help you take a look. ”

Shangguan Li's eyes were blank, and he smiled hollowly: "The girl will still care about me." ”

"Can't I care about you? What are the conditions for caring about you, or do you have to have your permission? ”

Shangguan Li smiled at the corner of his mouth, patted his heart and said, "That's not true, I'm very honored." ”

This official ceremony can really be fun in suffering.

"How? Isn't he going to be a big deal, my lord? ”

"If it's stable, there's no problem with the body warming up." Shangguan Li let out a long breath and said.

I gave him a glass of water, and he sipped it gently.

I handed him the wrung towel and said, "Wipe your face." ”

Shangguan Li held the cup and still stared at Shangguan Yan, and replied as if he didn't have time to pay attention to me: "I'm not hot." ”

I poked him on the shoulder and said, "I didn't let you wipe your sweat, I asked you to wipe the frost on your face." ”

Shangguan Li touched his face, looked at me and said, "Is it frosty so early?" ”

I glared at his face and said, "It's not up outside, it's your face that is up, and it's freezing that makes people's hearts cold." ”

Shangguan Li knew that I was making fun of him, and smiled helplessly: "In addition to caring about people, the girl will also make fun of people." ”

I sighed, "It's common for me to care about people, but I only make fun of people when I'm angry." ”

Shangguan Li looked at me with a crutch and said, "Are you angry with me?" How did I make you angry, girl? ”

"Your Excellency has come to you, why don't you want to see him? Drove people to the road on a cold day, causing him to have a cold attack, but fortunately I was on the side, if he was alone, wouldn't he faint on the street? ”

Shangguan Li leaned back in the chair and looked at Shangguan Yan for a long time: "It turns out that he is not worth it, my cotton brother has always been very lovable." But I'm tired, I don't want to worry about so many things anymore, I don't want to always see him as my responsibility, I don't want to do everything and say everything to be considerate of his feelings, I also want to have my own life, don't I? ”

I was a little disappointed: "Do you really see him as a burden to yourself, and don't have the slightest brotherly feeling?" I thought you were the cotton-hearted man...... If my Xia Xia also said to others one day, saying that I was a burden and a burden to her, I would die of sadness. ”

Shangguan Li looked a little persistent and said, "I don't want to care, and I can't care about it so much." I just want to wait for Yun Niang to wake up quickly, and make sure that she is okay before I leave, the farther away from Shangguan Mansion as possible, and the farther away from him as possible. ”

"Look, you obviously care about Yun Niang very much, you care about adults very much, they are all a family, what can you not sit down and solve well?"

Shangguan Li chuckled and looked at the closed window, as if he wanted to see the cold white moon in the night sky through it: "Some things can't be solved, just let them dissipate." Even if you are on different sides of the world, it is better to sit down and watch the bright moon together in silence than to argue noisily about right and wrong. ”

Thinking of the scene when Shangguan Bo wanted to cut him down in public, he really had nothing to remember about that place.

"I don't know what you want to fight for, what can you do if you win?"

Shangguan Li looked at me and smiled happily: "That's a good question, what if you win?" I can't imagine that the girl is the real wise man! ”

I was embarrassed and said, "What a wise man and fool, I don't know a single big word, and I can't hold back two idioms, so you can laugh at me." ”

"The wisdom of life has nothing to do with literacy and learning." Shangguan Li looked quite serious.

I laughed and said, "If that's what you think, then I'll assume that you agree with me." So what else do you need to be more serious? ”

Shangguan Li shrugged his shoulders and said: "I don't have anything serious, haven't I also been in that troubled water, wouldn't it be better to be like this now, to be an idle cloud floating around, to be a wild crane to be free?" ”

I smiled, I like this kind of Shangguan courtesy, chuckling and looking down on all the ease and calmness, like a light cloud, like a white horse, looking like a turbid Shijia son.

"It would be nice if Yun Niang and Aunt Fu could see through as well as you like Gongzi Li."

Shangguan Li swept away his relaxed expression, immediately frowned, and said sensitively: "Aunt Fu? What's wrong? ”

I just sighed, and I didn't want to say much about Aunt Fu, but I didn't expect Shangguan Li to catch the conversation, so I had to answer: "Aunt Fu, she's sick." ”

Shangguan Li frowned, and said seriously: "She has always been in good health, how can she be sick?" ”

She ...... attempted suicide by hitting her head in front of Yun Niang's bed, and then took the water of the poisonous orchid, fortunately we found it in time, otherwise it would have ......"

Shangguan Li stood up suddenly, and his voice increased by half a percent: "When?!" Why hasn't anyone told me?! ”

I also stood up and said hurriedly: "Just after you quarreled with Xiangye and left." But we have persuaded her, Zong Bai will take care of her carefully, and there will be people in the yamen watching from time to time, don't worry too much. ”

"Why would she do this? Is it Shangguan Bohe——?! Shangguan Li gritted his teeth and called his father's name angrily, presumably thinking that his father must have blamed Fu Ye for Yun Niang's poisoning.

"No, it has nothing to do with Xiangye-" I hurriedly explained, not wanting to intensify the conflict between the father and son, "It's that she can't think about it, Yun Niang is seriously ill and hasn't woken up, and you are all arguing again......"

"No wonder Uncle Zong hasn't come to me these days, I thought it was nothing in the yazhong, Yun Niang didn't get better, it turned out that Aunt Fu had an accident......"

"Aunt Fu really loves you, she has been blaming herself since you left, and she also told me some things about when you were a child, because you are not worth it, and feel sorry for you...... Although she is just a servant girl, her concern for you is all from the heart, and one person doesn't need identity and status to be good to another, doesn't it? ”

Shangguan Li dressed up and was in a hurry to go out: "I'll go see her, please help me take care of my brother-"

"Don't go!"

"Don't worry, I will avoid Shangguan Bo and not conflict with him." Shangguan Li has already opened the door and is about to go out.

I pulled him and said, "I'm not worried about this, I don't want you to go to see Aunt Fu like this, so as not to help you!" ”

Shangguan Li glared at me: "What's wrong with me?" Did I go to see her and become a disadvantage? Am I so obscure and so hateful? ”

I pointed at him and said, "Look at your current appearance, full of alcohol, sickly, sloppy, bloodshot eyes, Aunt Fu must have thought that you have suffered a lot of grievances, and she has to worry about guilt for you." ”

Shangguan Li turned his head to look at himself in the bronze mirror, touched his haggard face, lowered his hands weakly, gave up the stalemate with me, and returned to the table and sat down.

"Let's go see her when you're in a better mood, although I know you've been pretending to be happy a lot of the time, but it's better than crying with a face."

Shangguan Li smiled bitterly, I often see this kind of expression on Shangguan Yan's face, but Shangguan Li is good at hiding his emotions, and Shangguan Yan is too serious and always reveals it inadvertently.

"When the adults are better, you can clean up yourself, and both of you will go to the yamen to see Yun Niang and Aunt Fu, I believe this will be the most helpful for their condition."

"Why did Aunt Fu kill herself? I can't think of a reason, if she will be martyred, I believe in her character, but now that Yun Niang is still alive and the finch is still young, is there any other reason why she can't think so? ”

I pursed my lips and said, "I don't know whether to say it or not, but I think you all have the right to know what happened back then—but I hope that after I say it, you won't blame Zongbai and them." ”

Shangguan Li frowned, not understanding why I suddenly wanted to mention Zongbai.

"Also, my ability to express myself is limited, it may be a little confusing, don't interrupt me, I'm afraid I'll be even more chaotic if I'm nervous, can you wait until I'm done talking before you ask questions?"

Shangguan Li nodded seriously.

I gathered my thoughts and began to tell him what I knew about Zong Bai Fuye.

There was no louder laughing than Han San, but it was more than half an hour before I finished the matter.
