Chapter 28: Homecoming
In mid-September, the Gongbofu sent a family member to spread the word, saying that he was going to take the Gongbozhe back to the house, and within half a month, he might not be able to come to the Taoist temple.
When the servant was outside talking to Kurong about this, Yin Si was behind the door and listened word for word.
At the beginning of October, Uncle Xin Xin was about to get married.
Besides, the weather is also cool, and there is really no reason to keep her and not let her go home.
Ku Rong nodded in agreement, and waited for the person who came to deliver the message to go away before entering the house.
"You see that it's useless for me, the eldest sister is married, she should go home to accompany her," looking at Yin Si's gaze, Ku Rong hurriedly explained, it's really not that I don't agree, I can leave someone for you, "Besides, I'm just a master who has only known me for half a year, this is the second lady of the uncle's family, you," such a thing as a private life, really take it as an example, you can't be beaten to death, "Just send her back for a few days?" β
"Well," in fact, Yin Mi did not mean to oppose the block.
"Huh?" Nothing else?
"What do you think I need?"
"I thought you wouldn't be happy," I thought you wouldn't be happy about it, but it's surprising that it's so normal now.
"That's the case," what can I do if I'm not happy, "In my uncle's eyes, I'm so careful?" β
"No," Ku Rong immediately denied, "You were reasonable and sensible when you were young. β
"I can't take her away now, and I can't keep her locked up," besides, "she will get more information about this matter than we do, and it won't necessarily be a bad thing to let her go back." β
"Yes, yes, you are really right," the little apprentice is still in the dark, worried about these things, but, "If you lie to her like this, you are not afraid that she will find out later and break with you?" β
"Don't be afraid," the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, Yin Si doesn't feel that he can't cure this little girl, "as long as the master has a tight mouth, she won't know anything." β
"Besides, you did this scam first, I'm just pushing the boat!" Yin Si took all the responsibilities away, "I'm really angry in the back, and I'm not afraid, just cut off the relationship with you left and right!" β
Ku Rong was choked by these words, aren't you afraid that I will sue you?
"Don't think about taking this on me," Yin Si saw through his mind at a glance, "It's just that it's not clear what is going on, if you talk nonsense, I'll say you're crazy, and then-"
"And then, what should I do?" Kurong twitched the corners of his mouth.
"I also find some goddesses and Taoist priests every day to exorcise evil spirits with you," after all, you are crazy, and it is easy to pull on strange forces.
"Uncle, my mouth is still very strict," Ku Rong immediately promised, "Don't worry, the master won't say a word." β
In fact, even if he said it, Yin Si would not be afraid.
In the afternoon, Yin Si and Kurong came to Zhezhe's residence and told her a lot.
Ku Rong actually didn't have anything to say, so he sat down for a while, came out by himself, sat on the railing outside, and let the wind out of the little lovers in the house.
Now this day is indeed cool, the heat is not there, the autumn is high and cool, from the imperial city to this way, the crops on both sides have been harvested, piled into stacks. If you stand at the gate and watch, far away, a large area is empty, there is a grain chop not far away, the dolls in the village, with dogs, are playing hide and seek in the chop, and the adults are playing food racks on the side, looking like a group of people living and working in peace and contentment.
Such a comfortable day made Ku Rong very emotional.
After a long time, he saw Yin Si come out, and Ku Rong pondered for a while and asked, "How?" β
"What?"
"Didn't the little apprentice cry?"
"Why are you crying?"
Because the two of you are going to be separated for ten days and a half months, the little lover should not be sweet and sweet, and you think about it very much when you don't see each other for a moment. Besides, the little apprentice seems to be very jealous of the uncle's mansion, and it is common sense to cry!
"It's just half a month," Yin Si went straight outside, and Ku Rong behind him chased after him.
"You say, is she the same person now as she was two years ago?" Back in the meditation room, Yin Si asked coldly.
"How do I know," two years ago, it was you who met her, not me, I have been in Wei State, and I know her because of you, "Don't you know?" β
"One-sided relationship," it was just a one-sided relationship before, how she was usually, he really didn't know, "I always feel that she should have changed, will she really borrow the corpse to resurrect the soul?" β
"What if it's true, and what if it's false?" Ku Rong didn't understand, "Only today have you come to think about this?" β
"Whether it's true or not, the way she looks now, it's really what I like," Yin Si thought for a while, "I'm thinking, if she's not Gongbo Zhezhe, then she doesn't know anything." β
"So what?" Bring it back to Wei?
"So, I haven't figured out what to do later."
Gongbo Zhezhe's appearance, Yin Si believed that she was actually sick from the beginning.
With such a disease, he recognized such a patient, that is, his mother, when he went crazy, no one remembered, and he became a different person entirely, but when he got better, he was like a normal person.
I found a lot of doctors, and I also found a lot of mages and Taoists, but I had no clue at all.
In the end, I learned from a charlatan that this is indeed a disease, and people are greatly stimulated, so that they are always in good spirits. Because I didn't want to face reality, I thought about another identity and regarded myself as another person.
There are not a few such patients, but some people are less ill and some are more serious.
Such a patient needs to retreat, recuperate, and slowly guide, let her get in touch with what she liked to do before, slowly help her recover her cognition, face it calmly, and she will slowly get better.
The so-called cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods are all fake, and the patient is also easy to become more crazy because of these things, and the more crazy they are, the more outrageous the spread is, the more fierce the ghost theory is, and the more people will be afraid, and in the end, they can only kill the patient because of fear.
Even if the patient didn't do anything unreasonable.
People are afraid of the unknown.
Because it is unknown, it must be removed.
"What, I thought of your mother again?" Ku Rong waved his hand in front of him, "Don't think too much, the little apprentice Jiren has his own natural appearance!" β
Even if she is in such a situation, it is not a disease, but a real cow ghost and snake god, then there is nothing to be afraid of. They have been with her for so long, and they know her temperament, but they are just ordinary little girls.
"Uncle promises you to do everything in your power to protect her," Ku Rong comforted him, "What's the matter, I have to take a sip of your tea, don't you?" β
"Uncle, when this matter is done, we will go back to Wei State, and let's live a good life," Don't pay attention to these things anymore.
"I can do it," after all, I'm old, but you, "but you, can you let go of this world?" β
Why not, these four words were blocked by Yin Si on the tip of his tongue and not spoken.
"Look at it," you know, you are just a momentary emotion, "a manly man, with the world in mind, it should be, the little apprentice will understand you and support you!" β
It doesn't matter if you don't support it, you'll fool anyway.
The two of them were chatting in the house, and on the other side, Ah Wan and Ah Ru had already begun to pack their things, Zhezhe dragged his cheeks and sat on the steps outside the door, watching the sky.
Time flies so fast, and in the blink of an eye, summer is over.
Gongbo's Mansion, you have to forget what Gongbo's Mansion looks like, and the annoying couple is still disgusting.
Also, half a month ago, at the Begging Festival, she was about to get married without saying goodbye!
I don't know why, when she thinks of her uncle, she is blocked in her heart, which is very uncomfortable.
Maybe it's the real Gongbo Zhezhe, who is sad for his sister!
Holding the bell on his waist in the palm of his hand, Zhezhe was stunned for a while.
By the time we set off to return home, the sun was already sinking.
It's still this carriage, it's still these people with me, but I always feel that something is different.
Zhezhe opened the curtain and wanted to see the scenery outside, who knows, the scenery was not seen, but people caught a glimpse of one.
Bang dang -
The action of putting the curtain was a bit big, and Ah Wan, who was sitting inside, was stunned, "Miss? β
"It's nothing," Zhezhe looked calm, but he kept cursing in his heart.
I'm rubbing, eldest brother-in-law, do you want this?
It's awesome to send a hairpin?
I collected it in a daze, don't think I like you!
We are the relationship between my uncle and my sister-in-law!
Even if you are a relative of the emperor, but I am also married by the emperor, and I have an official match, I am very embarrassed that you follow me like this!
Besides, I have someone I like now, and it's useless for you to be pestered like this!
What's more, you are still eating in the bowl and looking at the pot, you are not dedicated at all, even if it is this world, you can have three wives and four concubines, your royal family, you have the right to choose a wife first, that is not good.
It's a real headache, I don't know how to do it, do you want to tell Xinxin?
Zhezhe covered his head and thought for a while, forget it, it's better not to tell her, I don't like this brother-in-law in the first place, and if I know him like this, then Xin Xin can't cry to death?
But it's not good not to tell it, right? Such an important thing.
Zhezhe is very sad, her psychology is to treat Xin Xin as a good friend, a good sister, although she is a little arrogant, but people are really good!
The son of the world is like this, in the 21st century, he is a big scumbag!
As a good friend, you should tell the truth and keep her away from the scumbag!
But here, in ancient times, it was still male superiority and female inferiority, or an imperial society, women were only subordinates, and the emperor's order could not be disobeyed.
The more I think about it, the more sad I feel, and the more I think about it, the more it's not worth it.
Sure enough, the evil feudal society is to eat people without spitting out bones!
Zhezhe was angry and pounded his head and pulled his hair, Ah Wan didn't know why, did she see anyone? Just as she was about to ask, Ah Ru came in and whispered in her ear, "Liang Gongzi is here!" β
No wonder Miss is like this, it turns out that Liang Gongzi is here.
I saw that he was riding a horse, accompanied by two servants, also on horseback, but he did not stand side by side with us, "After all, this pipeline is still a little narrow, and it is the busy season of farming, and many of the farmer's ox carts and donkey carts are all carrying grain to their homes."
Liang Zhecheng also got the news, saying that the second lady of the Gongbo's Mansion was going back to the house today, so he brought two servants, rode a horse and waited aside, and when she passed by, it was good to follow her from a distance and give her a ride.
As for whether he can take a look, Liang Zhecheng's heart was pounding, and he didn't dare to expect too much, but he couldn't help this thought.
After walking for a long time, he did see the curtain of the carriage move, but before he could see anything, he lowered it.
Come to think of it, it's just caused by uneven roads and bumps!
"Young master, let's not follow for too long," the servant suggested on the side, "Although it is a marriage, but the two masters have been excerpted, and it is also tacitly agreed that we will talk about marriage after three years, if we follow the uncle's mansion, it will not be good for people to know!" β
After all, last time on the Begging Festival, you received your purse, and after you went back, the old lady was very angry, and I didn't want you to have too much entanglement with her.
"Young master, you beware of being recognized again, what rumors have reached the ears of the old lady, when the time comes, you will be whipped again," the servant on the other side also persuaded, his young master was already weak, although he had recuperation and practiced every day, but in the end he couldn't compare to the eldest young master and the second young master, the last time he went back on the begging festival, he was whipped 10 times, and he lay down for half a month, which was good, so he followed him again.
I don't know what kind of psychedelic soup this second lady of the uncle's family poured with the young master of their family, no matter what she does, all her thoughts fall on her.
"I know," Liang Zhecheng only felt a pain in his head.
Xiangguo Mansion is the residence of the military general, the people in the mansion know how much to do some kung fu, a group of big men, get along quite boldly, even if it is a servant, there is always something to say, think of it, do not worry about it at all, so talk to the master, will not make the master unhappy.
However, fortunately, it was all for his own good, and Liang Zhecheng didn't say anything about them.
Still sitting silently on horseback, swaying behind the carriage, he followed all the way into the city, and only stopped at a distance of two intersections from the Gongbo's Mansion, and stood there until he could no longer see the shadow, then turned around and went to his own mansion.
"Miss, Liang Gongzi is gone!" Aru lifted the curtain and reported to Zhezhe.
Zhezhe didn't want to answer, nodded, and leaned back on the board, wanting to squint for a while.
What do you want to do in this world, you have followed all the way, don't tell me that you are worried about the comfort of my sister-in-law, and you sent me all the way!
"Miss, we'll be at the house soon," Awan reminded.
Hearing this, Zhezhe immediately sat upright, and sure enough, after a while, the carriage stopped, Zhezhe followed Awan out of the carriage, and when he looked up, he saw the gate of the Gongbofu, a plaque on the door, which he didn't recognize before, but now he recognizes it, and it is the three words of Gongbofu.
"The lord and the lady are looking forward to your return," Ah Ru was beaming with joy on the side, finally coming back, after living in that temple for a long time, I almost can't remember what the house looks like.
"Miss, let's go back to the courtyard first and change our clothes," Ah Wan handed the package to the little maid and followed behind Zhezhe and said, "Tonight, we have a family banquet and have a reunion dinner." β
"Reunion dinner?" Zhezhe looked at no one around, and then quietly asked.
"Yes, I heard that the young lady can speak again, and the old lady is very happy," Ah Ru's ears were sharp, and she hurriedly replied first, "If it weren't for the hot weather and the busy house, the old lady would have met the young lady a long time ago!" β
"Huh?" Zhezhe didn't understand, "Who told-"
Before he finished speaking, Zhezhe himself figured it out and looked at the two beaming maids beside him.
She forgot that these two maids were from the Gongbo's Mansion, although they were serving her closely, but at critical times, they could also monitor themselves and report their every move to the master of the mansion.
How can this be forgotten? Why do you want to talk to them?
Zhezhe is so annoyed that if others know that you can speak, but you pretend to be dumb when you meet, either you look down on others, or you are an impostor, not a deity.
Zhezhe had a headache and thought about how to communicate with this family when they met later, and at the same time, he was still struggling with how to talk to Xin Xin about the eldest brother-in-law of the prince.
After entering the house, Ah Wan and the others led the way in front and walked to the courtyard where Zhezhe lived, this road, Zhezhe remembers now.
I went back to the yard, washed the dust, changed my clothes, and then was taken by the maid and went to the hall, which was indeed lively today, and there were many people, but Zhezhe didn't know much.
Uncle and his wife, Uncle Xinxin, the remaining few should be his father's concubines, but unfortunately, Zhezhe couldn't recognize his face, and when he entered the house and saw this group of people, he first politely saluted.
Fortunately, the uncle and his wife pulled her and asked more, and the aunt next to her seemed to be a little jealous, sitting far away, and saying a word or two symbolically, Zhezhe also smiled, either nodding or being silent.
The face is calm, the bottom of the heart is beating for a while, and the mind is cautious in words and deeds, and unless it is absolutely necessary, don't speak, don't speak, don't speak.
Fortunately, when this meal was eaten, no one said anything, everyone ate silently, and there was no sound of the dishes and chopsticks colliding.
Zhezhe felt that sitting here eating in silence was really uncomfortable and embarrassing, and he was terrified.
After finally finishing eating, rinsing his mouth, and removing the tableware, Gongbo Shengde cleared his throat and began to speak: "Today's family banquet, everyone gets together, it's really rare. β
The head of the family spoke, and there were naturally a bunch of people cheering at the bottom, Zhezhe didn't speak, he looked at Gongbo Shengde with a serious face, and kept complaining in his heart.
Listening to the chatter of the father-in-law, how difficult it is to support this family, how virtuous his wife is, how docile his concubines are, and how smart his two daughters are.
This is a special commendation meeting, Zhezhe rolled his eyes in his heart, do you want to praise yourself so much! Isn't it necessary to be humble and not inflated?
"Everyone also knows that next month, Xin Xin is going to get married, so during this time, I still have to work hard for you," Gongbo Shengde looked at his eldest daughter, "Xin Xin, what do you want, you can tell your father, what your father can do, he will help you do it, but when you go to the Shizi Mansion in the future, don't feel like you are in your own home!" β
"My daughter knows," Uncle Xin interrupted what he was still talking about and got up, "My daughter is a little tired, I want to go back to rest early!" β
"I-" Gongbo Shengde didn't finish his words, but he was stopped by Wang, Wang shook his head at his husband, and then looked at Xin Xin softly, "If Xin Xin is really tired, it's better to go back and rest early!" β
Xin Xin got the words, got up and saluted and was about to leave, halfway through, he returned to Gongbo Zhezhe, "Zhezhe, before I leave the pavilion, don't you want to come and live with me?" β
Ha? Zhezhe couldn't believe his ears and pointed to himself, are you sure you're talking to me?
"Father's Father's Question Remainsβ" Again, Uncle Saint's words were interrupted.
"Zhezhe has been traveling all the way, and their sisters are good to talk about, they haven't seen each other for so long, if you have anything to say, let's talk about it tomorrow!" While making eye contact with them, Wang pressed Gongbo Shengde.
Zhezhe was so clever that he immediately understood, got up and saluted, and withdrew with Xin Xin.
