Chapter 18: The Death of Zhu Shujin
It's early autumn, and occasionally the leaves of the trees in the courtyard fall from the branches and are gathered together with brooms.
Suddenly, a figure swept over and took away a few fallen leaves. Zhu Shujin carried the hem of his skirt and hurriedly walked through the porch. After a while, Mr. Chai chased after him,
"Miss Zhu... Er Shao, Er Shao is really not in the hospital. ”
Zhu Shujin turned a deaf ear, and after a while, he threw off Mr. Chai and disappeared. She watched the frightening wind standing at the door from a distance, so she secretly slowed down her steps, straightened her somewhat messy skirt by the way, and moved her steps lightly, as if someone else had just run wildly.
"Shocking wind! What about your master? ”
"Miss Zhu." The frightened head of the head greeted, "The second young man went out and hasn't come back yet." ”
"And what are you doing here?"
Zhu Shujin cushioned his feet and crossed the broad shoulders of the frightening wind, wanting to peek through the crack in the door. The frightened wind silently blocked her vision with his body, and responded,
"Er Shao asked me to wait here for Miss Zhu."
"I specially ordered you to wait here, so that you can tell me that he is going out?" Zhu Shujin nodded and sighed, "Then I'll go back to my room and wait for him." ”
A gust of autumn wind blew, and Zhu Shujin shivered in the coolness. The frightening wind caught a glimpse of the woman's slender back, and he felt a little unbearable in his heart.
"Senior brother, you are really here!"
The carved red lacquered wooden door was slammed open, and Jiang Congao put on a Xuanyue robe, still on the other side of the copy, raised his phoenix eyes, and said lightly,
"Shocking wind, you have followed me for so many years, why can't you even stop a girl's house, isn't it a shame to say it?"
The wind smiled bitterly,
"Miss Zhu's acting skills are really clever, and her subordinates are underestimating the enemy."
"The soldiers are not tired of deceit, and they are frightened, and they have conceded."
Zhu Shujin smiled so much that his eyes were bent into crescent moons, like soaked in spring light, very energetic.
"Second Shao," Chief Chai came late, and his old face was wrinkled into dried plums, "Second Shao, I can't stop Miss Zhu." ”
"Hmm." Jiang Congao looked at the panting old man, shook his head and said, "Chief Chai should go down and rest first." ”
"Yes, Ershao."
Zhu Shujin smiled and watched the head of Chai leave, and suddenly, a gust of wind hit, and the fluttering things covered her head. Zhu Shujin took advantage of the situation, and when he held it in his hand, it was a dark brown subordinate clothes.
"Put it on, I'll take you out."
Bazhen Building.
In the capital, the restaurant with the same name as the Food Spirit Pavilion, although Zhu Shujin has heard a little bit of it, but has never been here. She has been to the Spirit Pavilion, eight hundred times, and even the terrain is familiar, so naturally she always wanders around the Spirit Pavilion.
"Senior brother, why don't you go to the Soul Eating Pavilion?"
Jiang Congao sipped the tea and spit out two words coldly.
"There are a lot of people."
"Makes sense."
Zhu Shujin thought about it, he is now the Miss Zhu family who has escaped from marriage, so he naturally wants to act low-key and hide people's eyes.
"Senior brother," Zhu Shujin was really curious, "why are you willing to take me out of the house today?" ”
Thinking about her two days ago, she took Jiang Congao out every day, but who knew that these four senior brothers didn't go in, so they didn't want to, and now it's even worse, pretending not to be in the courtyard, and letting the chief manager Chai stop her with the frightening wind, and make up her mind not to let her disturb him with the matter of leaving the house again, but how can she take her out without saying a word in the blink of an eye?
Jiang Congao looked at her funny,
"You don't die if you don't have the heart of the Yellow River, if you don't succeed this time, there will be a next time, always let Mr. Chai accompany you to toss, I can't bear to look at it."
"I don't want to toss the old man," Zhu Shujin said innocently, "Senior brother knows me so well, and he agreed to these things from the beginning." ”
Jiang Congao shook his head, too lazy to fight with her again. It didn't take long for the dishes ordered by Zhu Shujin to be the same. Rao is as plain as Jiang Congao, and his eyes widened slightly.
"I'm missing you in the courtyard?"
The round table where eight people sat was filled with delicate plates and saucers, and the weight in between, it was estimated that ten strong men could not eat it. Zhu Shujin scratched his head, and was also a little distressed,
"I've been in the courtyard for too long, and I'm more happy for a while, but I didn't expect there to be so many."
"That's it, let's go to Beijing, the road is far away, and it will take half a month if it's fast, and it's not as comfortable as this in the bumps."
Resignation?
Zhu Shujin chewed the fish for a moment, and asked inexplicably,
"Senior brother, where are we going?"
"This capital can't accommodate you." Jiang Cong frowned with a hint of heaviness, "We have to find Senior Brother Fu Chen, let him take you back to the valley, and avoid the limelight first." ”
"Didn't you just run away from marriage?" Zhu Shujin suggested with some reluctance, "It's a big deal that I gave up Zhu Shujin's identity and changed my life again." ”
She was born to love to join in the fun, and after living two lives, she still can't learn the demure and stable temperament of the girl's family. After living for so many days, the capital is also a familiar place, and at this time, she has to adapt to the other land, and she is unwilling in her heart. Besides, the identity of this Zhu Shujin is not hers, so it would be more comfortable if she gave it up.
Jiang Congao shook his head, and was about to say something, when the sound of firecrackers came from a distance outside the window, crackling, and shaking people's minds.
"Eat, eat, I'll take you back to Zhufu to have a look."
Zhu Shujin never thought that there would be a day when she would return to Zhu's mansion, and when she fled in her heart, her involvement with the Zhu family was broken. Zhufu, who has been in the house for half a year, is not as comfortable as her senior brother's courtyard.
Although Zhu Shujin didn't understand his brother's intentions, he was a little stunned when he arrived at the Zhu Mansion, which he hadn't seen for a few days.
White flags plain cloth, green smoke yellow paper.
I wish the family is dead.
Zhu Xingcai is a little older again, standing at the door to greet the guests who come and go to mourn. There was a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy standing next to Zhu Xingcai, something Zhu Shujin had never seen before. At this age, there is only one Zhu family she has never seen, that is, the third brother who was taken by Jing Youxiang's side, Zhu Xin.
Yuan Rumei dressed in white, walked out of the side courtyard, whispered a few words to Zhu Xingcai and left.
"Senior brother, change places."
Zhu Shujin's face was a little dignified, pulling the sleeves of the person next to him, and said in a low voice. Jiang Congao took her, left the branch, and jumped lightly into the back of the hall.
Zhu Shujin lived in this place in the end, he was familiar with the way to the side, opened the window, and saw Zhu Muyan kneeling in front of the coffin, crying sadly, and the woman who was mourning on the side was even moved by her love and righteousness, and covered her face with a towel and cried.
Zhu Shujin was like falling into an ice cave, and the chill hit his heart violently. Zhu Xingcai, Yuan Rumei, Zhu Muyan, and even Zhu Xin are here, so who is the one who died?
Jiang Congao looked at the unconcealable horror in the woman's eyes, and his heart was full of reluctance. He grabbed the shivering Zhu Shujin and quickly flashed out of Zhu's house, as if he had never appeared.
How long have the people of Zhufu been planning to murder her? Otherwise, why did she leave from Zhufu, and in just a few days, she found a substitute for the dead ghost? If she hadn't been taken away, would it be her who was lying in the coffin now?
No one is not afraid of death, and even more so those who come back to life again. Zhu Shujin was a little afraid, although she knew that people's hearts were sinister, but in those days, with Senior Brother Fu Chen and Lan Lin under her protection, she couldn't understand so deeply, how did she survive in such a place where people eat people and don't spit out skin.
Almost, just a little, her hard-won way of life was cut off again, and she was almost going to fall into the dark and boundless abyss again!
