Chapter Twenty-Nine: You Don't Have to Go
In the city of Mengshe Zhaopu Sharo, the relics spent the New Year of the eleventh year of Zhenguan, Li Tai bought a small idle courtyard in Wumanshe at a high price, and they moved in the second year of the first year, and the mother and daughter were busy shopping for three or four days, and redecorated this temporary residence.
There is a simple stove room on the first floor of the small courtyard, which was left by the Tang people who lived here before, and the Lu family seems to want to make up for the days when he was not by his daughter's side for more than a year.
After the remnant Yu came back from the Qianqi City to find someone wrongly recognized, he had a rare smile, and returned to his face, working behind the Lu family all day long, not tired, but living a tight and interesting life every day, the mother and daughter were tired of being together all day long, embroidering and embroidering, cooking, shopping around the city, and on the eighth day of the new year, they also went to the mountains and forests outside the city together, picking some wild vegetables and herbs.
In addition to what he can't talk about, Yi Yu will talk to Lu every day about the humanistic customs along the way, and said that he made a friend on the road, who can write and martial arts, is a woman, and is still a doctor, and he also learned a few medical pharmacology with her, which is like talking about Xiao Fei.
The scars on Yu Yu's face and neck were still discovered by the Lu family. When the mother saw that the girl's originally white little face had more flaws, of course, she was first angry, and then she was distressed and cried on the spot.
As a mother, Lu complained in his heart that Li Tai and his entourage failed to take good care of their daughter, but they regarded Li Tai as Chang Gongzi, and had saved their mother and daughter from fire and water.
From the Chinese New Year to the present, in the past half a month, Han Li has only come to the door twice to find people, so Han Shiyu has come every day these days, but the Lu family is only pity for her after all, and now that the widow is here, although he still cares for Han Shiyu, but when the three of them stay together, Lu's words and deeds are still somewhat different.
On this day, it was raining lightly outside, and Yu Yu and Lu were embroidering things upstairs, and a few snacks made in the morning were placed on the desk, and there was a pot of good tea to go half, and the tea was the best tea that Yu Yu brought from the goods brought by Li Tai, and the taste was bitter and mellow.
"Hehe, mother, look, it's not like it." Yi Yu handed Lu Shi the embroidered cloth with one hand, and pointed to the flower-faced raccoon dog sleeping on the side of the railing with the other.
Lu Shi looked at the raccoon, then looked at the black linen on the plain silk cloth, stretched out his hand to pat her, and scolded with a smile:
"What is this embroidery, just think it's a dark cloud."
"Then you can help me change it." Yi Yu smiled and stuffed the bandage into her arms, reached out and pinched a piece of snack and put it to her mouth and took a bite, just heard Lu Shi say with some surprise:
"It's raining, why did you come here?"
Hearing this, Yi Yu raised her eyes, and saw that there was a figure at the door of the house, but it was Han Shiyu, who had not been here for three or five days, and she had no smile similar to herself, she hid by the door frame, looking at Lu Shi with a worried face, behind her was the continuous drizzle outside the house, and she was alone.
"What are you doing standing there, come in," Lu Shi saw that she was not moving, so he put down the embroidery, got up and walked up to pull her into the house, touched her with his hand, and immediately reprimanded:
"On this kind of day, you still wear such a thin one, do you want to be cool?"
Shiyu hugged Lu's arm with her backhand, leaned her head on her shoulder, and said softly: "Dad said that she would disturb you and didn't ask me to come to see you, but I haven't seen you for a few days, so I really thought about it, so I sneaked out, don't be angry." ”
Lu Shi softened when he heard this, sat down by the tea table around her, and said: "You listen to him, come as you want, what bother or not, just wear so little to go out, it's frozen." ”
Han Shiyu simply buried herself in Lu's arms, wrapping her arms around her waist, "Then do you want Yu'er?" ”
After a pause, Lu Shi said, "Well, I think." ”
"Mother, you spoiled me, I can't sleep alone at night, do you remember"
Listening to her lying on Lu's lap and whispering, Yi Yu stuffed the remaining snacks in her mouth into her mouth, lifted the empty teapot, stood up, met Lu's inquiring eyes, pointed to the teapot, and motioned to make hot tea again.
I went to the kitchen, boiled water, stood on the side, listened to the sound of the rain outside, raised my hand and pinched my face, and suddenly laughed, and muttered in a low voice:
"How old are you, is this still worth being unhappy about?"
When the water boiled, she made the tea, carried it out of the kitchen, walked through the corridor, and saw the long back standing by the railing at the staircase, and after a short pause, she stepped forward, stood beside him, leaned in front of him, and said with a smile:
"Just came back? How is it today? ”
Li Tai lowered his eyes and glanced at the smile on her face and said, "I've seen it." ”
"See someone?" Yi Yu was surprised, you must know that Li Tai has been eating behind closed doors for nearly a month, although she was surprised by his patience, but what was even more surprising was Mrs. Zhou's words, if she didn't see it, she wouldn't see it, no matter what prince Wei Wang came to, he would all be closed doors.
"And what did she say?" Yiyu didn't rush upstairs, put the teapot on the ground, turned to sit down on the railing, and turned his head to look at him.
Li Tai looked at the rain-soaked white stone wall opposite, was silent for a moment, and said, "She asked me to go to Pingzhou in person and help her do something." ”
"Pingzhou, isn't that going to run Hebei Road?"
"Well, I'll leave in a few days."
Yi Yu was stunned for a moment and said, "Leave in such a hurry, my mother she-"
"You don't have to go."
"Huh?" Yi Yushi didn't expect him to come up with such a sentence, stared at him with wide eyes, and said: "From here to Pingzhou, one southwest and one northeast, far apart, it takes about two months for boats and cars, counting the time you take to do things, come and go, let alone five months - I won't go?" ”
"It will take longer," Li Tai said lightly, "If you want to go, you can go, but you will be separated from Mrs. Lu for a year and a half." ”
Hearing this, Yu Yu hesitated for a while, Li Tai was going to do something important, which involved a lot, it was impossible to take her mother with her, if she went with her, the return date was uncertain, and the mother and daughter were reunited not long after, so she was reluctant to leave the Lu family in the six edicts.
"Besides," Li Tai said again, "I'm afraid it's inconvenient to take you, so it's better for you not to go." ”
Yi Yu was having a headache how to explain to Lu Shi that she was leaving, and when she heard Li Tai say this, she grabbed the railing with both hands, and said in a muffled voice:
"Do you think it's going to be a burden if you take me with you?"
"You can understand it that way." Li Tai was blunt, but his eyebrows behind the mask were slightly knotted, and what he didn't say was that this time he went to Pingzhou, what he had to do was very tricky and dangerous.
Li Tai, who was thinking like this, didn't realize that unlike the Python Mountain and his party, he didn't think that this was an opportunity to exercise the relics for the first time, or rather, he had begun to avoid letting her get into danger for things he was not sure enough about.
"Hmph," Yi Yu let out a breath, stretched out a slender finger, and poked lightly at his strong chest, and only then did he look depressed, and said flatly: "Why lie to me, this trip is not safe, just say it, and think I'm a burden, let me tell you, I will definitely be able to help you if I go." ”
Li Tai's eyes flickered, he held the fingers she poked in front of his chest, and said nothing.
"What does Madam want you to do this week, and since it's so dangerous, can you not do it?" In Yi Yu's heart, the life and death situation of Python Mountain can be used by Li Tai to hone her, and the danger of this Pingzhou trip is definitely no less than that at that time.
"No," Li Tai's voice was soft, "If you can go back a year earlier, it's a year."
"Huh?" What year after year, Yu Yu didn't understand.
Li Tai shook his head, didn't explain to her, let go of her fingers, and said, "Your tea is almost cold." ”
"Then you wait for me to go down, and I'll send it up and come down to find you, and we'll talk about it again."
said that he would talk about it after sending tea, but until he had dinner, washed and slept, Yu Yu did not see Li Tai's figure again, and he felt a little unsure, so he got out of bed lightly, and after confirming that Lu was sleeping peacefully, he put on his clothes and went down to the first floor.
After waiting for a quarter of an hour in front of Li Tai's house, he saw a figure, and the widow raised the candlelight in his hand to reflect that it was Li Tai in an ink shirt.
"Have you eaten dinner?"
"Hmm," Li Tai pushed open the door and walked in first.
Simple and clean room, the local accommodation is not as particular as the Tang people, there is no screen and curtain, the south door and window, three walls, a bamboo bed in the north, a low table in the middle, a very Yi characteristics of the carpet hung on the wall, just such an ornament, or Yu Yu selected to hang it, although this line of life has lived in a far more humble environment than this, but Yu Yu always feels that it is really humiliating to want people like Li Tai to live in this kind of place, but people themselves don't seem to think that it is.
Yi Yu followed him into the house, closed the door casually, went to the low table, touched the oil lamp and lit it, and extinguished the candle brought by the trip.
"Have you gone to see Mrs. Zhou?" Yi Yu sat down opposite him and asked, the oil lamp was not very bright, but he was able to see people clearly, Li Tai went into the room and removed the mask and put it on the table casually.
"There was news from the capital, and my father urged me to go back."
Before leaving, he told Li Shimin to go back at the end of the year at the latest, but now that the New Year has passed, he has no intention of returning to Beijing except for regularly asking people to send the letters prepared before returning to Chang'an from other places.
"Are you going to go back first?" Yi Yu silently calculated, they had been out for a long time this time, and they were also going out to "cruise", and everyone else should have returned to Chang'an safely, leaving them alone.
"When this is over, I will come back."
"Well," Yi Yu saw that he had an idea, so he didn't think too much, and changed the conversation to continue the topic of the morning, "When we leave, I'll talk to my mother." ”
Staying or going with him, such a difficult choice, a year ago, such a thing was enough to give her a headache for a while, but she is not what she used to be, and she can do things simply, and she is never indecisive.
After she finished speaking, she felt that on the other side of the table, Li Tai's eyes fell on her face for a moment, with a different gaze, and then stretched out a hand towards her, and whispered in an indistinct tone:
"Come here."
(It's a change today, you don't have to wait, you don't have to wait, you will make up for it tomorrow.) )
