Chapter Eighty-Nine: Living
Zhu Ran left, Ruoyi lied that Zhu Ran was sick and needed to recuperate in order to let Zhu Ran leave smoothly. Except for themselves, no maids are allowed to enter the room. Three meals a day are pretended to be served in and out. For Du Yuyan's false invitation, he politely declined them one by one. After surviving three days like this, it was calculated that Zhu Ran had already escaped 108,000 miles, and early in the morning of the fourth day, he pretended to be panicked, and the six gods had no owner, and spread the news that Zhu Ran was gone.
In Bowen Hall, there are fifteen or sixteen young roots of Lingluo flowers in Zhu Heyu's study.
Lingluo flower - Yuzhou flower species, when flowering, the flowers resemble peach blossoms, but the flowering period is longer than that of peach blossoms, the young roots are buried in the soil in winter, and they can take root and sprout in spring, and the flowers can bloom three seasons a year.
Zhu Heyu knew that Zhuran liked peach blossoms, and had heard her sigh that the peach blossom period was too short, so he sent people to cross dozens of states, which lasted half a year, and finally found a flower seed that could replace peach blossoms in Yuzhou. But the flower seed was found, and the anger in his heart had not subsided.
"This is a gift for the third sister-in-law?" Lin Yunchen had never known that Zhu Heyu and Zhu Ran were angry, and at this time, seeing Zhu Heyu's brows tightened, he looked at Ling Luohua Yugen in front of him in a distracted manner, and couldn't help asking.
Zhu Heyu came back to her senses, and couldn't help but go to her courtyard for a month, and sent the flowers to her courtyard at this time, feeling embarrassed, and said to Lin Yunchen: "You bring this to her, don't say that I gave it." ”
"Shall I give it to her?" Lin Yunchen asked rhetorically, then reacted and said with a smile: "Didn't you two quarrel?" Bedside quarrel at the foot of the bed and ......"
Lin Yunchen was only halfway through his words, when he saw a maid rushing in outside, she ran out of breath, and she didn't care about asking the two of them for peace, so she said in a panic: "The princess asked the slave maid to pass the word...... Said that the side princess is gone! ”
When Zhu Heyu saw that it was Du Yuyan who sent someone to pass on the words, he thought that he was making something out of nothing, provoking an incident, and said impatiently: "What's the matter? ”
The maid breathed a sigh of relief and said to Zhu Heyu in detail: "Early this morning, the princess has not had breakfast, and Ruoyi, the personal maid of the princess, ran to the Yixuan Pavilion in a panic, saying that the princess is gone. The princess didn't care at first, thinking that the princess didn't inform the others, and went to where to breathe or take a walk alone, so she sent a few people to look for her in the house. But after looking for two hours, I searched up and down the house, but I didn't find the side princess. The princess was in a hurry, and on the one hand she called the slave maid to inform the prince, and on the other hand, she sent someone to call the guards guarding the door to question. ”
She ran away? Zhu Heyu's heart suddenly became angry, and the tea cup in his hand was almost crushed. It's just that his face is still silent, and he said coldly to the maid: "Call the princess and the guards guarding the door to come to the king's study!" ”
"Yes!" The maid was so frightened by Zhu Heyu's coldness that she didn't dare to gasp, and staggered to the door, only to hear the tea cup being thrown to the ground and make a clang, stopped, and heard Zhu Heyu say: "Call all the people in Fuhuan Courtyard and others, and this king will personally interrogate!" ”
Lin Yunchen looked at the South China Sea jade tea cup that was smashed by Zhu Heyu on the ground, and sighed secretly. This tea cup was originally a set of four, it was a birthday gift from Zhu Heqian to Zhu Heyu ten years ago, Lin Yunchen remembered that Zhu Hexi accidentally broke one that year, and Zhu Heyu reprimanded her on the spot, how angry he was today, and he threw it on the ground!
Lin Yunchen thought about it, straightened up and said to Zhu Heyu: "I'll send someone to seal the city gate first." ”
Zhu Heyu saw Lin Yunchen walk out, thinking that the gate of Kyoto City was personally dispatched by Lu Zilei, the left guard, and if Zhu Ran's escape accidentally leaked the news, according to the etiquette system of the country, the princess of the side escaped without permission and was punished by national law, first, he was afraid that Zhuran would be punished, second, Lu Zilei and Lu Zihan were brothers, he was afraid that Lu Zihan would get in the way after learning about it, and third, he was afraid that he would implicate Zhuchangjun and weaken his strength in the court, so he called Lin Yunchen and said: "Don't seal the city gate, you go to the city gate in person, if you can see her, bring it back to me privately, don't leak the news of this matter!" ”
"Don't worry!" Lin Yunchen, as usual, walked away.
After a few words of temptation, it was revealed that Zhu Ran did not flee today, and the maids in the first courtyard of Fuhuan Yuan were all beaten by the board, among which Ruoyi was beaten the heaviest. Zhu Heyu let out cruel words, if the princess left the house as if someone leaked a trace of rumors, she would kill and not stay. Looking for Zhuran, the soldiers were divided into three ways. In Kyoto City, Zhu Heyu's Dragon and Tiger Guards searched for Zhuran's whereabouts on the grounds that someone in the Ruixin Palace's mansion had fled with precious cultural toys. According to the time of Zhuran's escape, with Kyoto City as the center of the circle, and the farthest distance of Zhuran's escape as the radius, it was enclosed in a circle, and the major city gates within the circle were sealed, and Lin Yunchen, Chasing the Wind, and Yudi led people to carry out a carpet search. Zhu Heyu speculated on Zhuran's thoughts, and in the large circle with Kyoto City as the origin, he listed all the deserted villages and valleys, and searched them one by one. This way of searching, you will definitely be able to find Zhuran.
Zhu Ran didn't go far, she was already sure in her heart that Zhu Heyu would not come to look for her, and calming things was the way he was willing to take. After leaving Kyoto City, I walked dozens of miles of mountain roads and settled in a village scattered with a few houses. The people are simple and simple, the people are easy-going, she lied that she was a concubine who was not wanted by a big family in Kyoto City, and when she came here, she was willing to take out the broken silver she had accumulated on weekdays to buy land and land, not to seek to be rich and expensive, not to eat the delicacies of the mountains and seas, but to fill her stomach and spend the rest of her life in peace.
It was the fourth day of coming out, and Zhu Ran used the money he brought out to buy an idle and empty grass house. The layout in the grass house is very simple, a kang, a pot, a stove, and nothing else. The grass landlord lived in a 60-year-old husband and wife, and after the three sons divided the family property, they built a new house in the west of the village. The couple was very kind, and when they saw that Zhuran was alone, they sent half a cloth bag of sorghum rice, a bowl, a pair of chopsticks, bedding pillows and daily necessities, and said that the firewood from the firewood and straw stack was used by Zhuran first.
Awakened in the middle of the night by the cold indoors, Zhu Ran tucked the corners of the quilt upward, and a sour pain poured into his frozen nose. During the day, he was busy arranging his residence, collecting firewood for cooking, and he didn't think much about it in his mind, but what he was thinking about at this time was the warmth of pillowing in the crook of Zhu Heyu's arm and being embraced by him. She shook her head, she couldn't regret it, everything was difficult at the beginning, she brought out a lot of silver taels from the house, and if she survived this while, she could live the life she had been pursuing.
There is also a grass market in the deserted village, which is set on a fixed day every month and is located close to the surrounding villages and convenient for people to gather. At the end of the day, Zhuran followed everyone to the grass market, and the people in the village called it "catching the market". The grass market is not as lively as the street market in Kyoto City, and the variety of things sold is not as many as in Kyoto City, and the things sold are only basic daily necessities such as rice, flour, oil and salt to meet people's survival. But Zhuran is still novel, and she only now knows the hard work of being a house, rice, noodles, oil, and salt, all of which have to be worried. Buying enough for a month's supply, Zhu Ran carried two large baskets borrowed from the old man's house, which were full of necessities for life. She couldn't lift it, so she moved it. Move one basket for a while, take a breath, and go back the way you came to move the other. This repeated repeatedly, and I couldn't walk more than two miles, and although the weather was cold, I was also sweating. Zhu Ran wiped the sweat on her face with her sleeve, and thought of this Kyoto City, all those red tape had nothing to do with herself, she didn't have to do anything with her smile, she couldn't stand in the door, she didn't have to do it anymore.
After moving another distance, he couldn't hold on any longer, his waist was sore, and his strength was exhausted. I couldn't help but sit on the ground, put my arms on the big basket, look at my own grass house that could be seen not far away, and gasp for breath. I couldn't care about the cold outside, so I decided to close my eyes and sleep for a while.
