Chapter Twenty-Seven: Early Morning Complaints
On the bamboo bed, the mother and daughter were covered with two quilts, lying in a quilt, and the widow leaned on Lu's shoulder, silently listening to her story, without interjecting a word, but her mother's words were automatically filtered in her mind to analyze the truth.
In the ninth year of Zhenguan, at the end of October, it happened that the Fang and Lu families faced off in court because of the dispute over the son, and the Lu family was taken away from Chang'an by Han Li's clever trick.
The Lu family was controlled by others, and asked Han Li to send her back with a tough attitude, but she was moved by Han Li's words, only that it was the case of the Fang and Lu families, she was the most critical person, after thirteen years, no one recognized the three brothers and sisters of Lu Zhi, but sooner or later, people would find clues from the Lu family, and when the time came, the Lu family would be a crime of bullying, and the three brothers and sisters would also be implicated, and Lu Zhi's career was even more hopeless.
After analyzing this serious consequence, Han Li persuaded the Lu family to ask her to leave Chang'an with him first, just to be taken captive by King An's remnants, so that Fang Qiao and the others could not grasp the handle, and wait until the wind and waves were calm, and then talk about it.
After thinking about it, Lu Shi, who didn't have much eyes, didn't feel that this was Han Li's delaying strategy, and ignored him along the way, and didn't necessarily say a word for half a month.
Han Li adopted a daughter in his early years, surnamed Han, the original name is unknown, but when he was introduced to the Lu family, he was named Han Shiyu, and it happened that this girl who was one year older than the Yu Yu looked like a very Yi Yu eight points, and her temperament was strange and cute, and there were also traces of the Yu Yu, Lu's heart sent her children, and she cherished her daughter the most, Han Shiyu had the heart to be close to ingratiation, so she gradually sent her thoughts to this woman, chatting with comfort, and Han Li was no longer always cold-faced.
Later, under Han Li's arrangement, the Lu family took pity on the lonely body of this woman, and thought of the left jade, so he accepted Han Shiyu as a righteous daughter, and in Pushaluo City, he acquiesced to Han Li's behavior of claiming to be a family of three, but in fact, there was a false husband and wife.
Han Li is really well-intentioned to the Lu family, afraid that she will become ill with her thoughts, not only got a daughter for her, but also took her to get acquainted with the local nobles in Pushaluo City, the wives of the nobles, and the Lu family, often visit the door, teach her Yi language, and then let her teach Tang dialect, Lu is a character who does not stretch out his hand and does not hit the smiling face, so that even if she stays at home, she will not have much spare time to think about other things.
This is not enough, every two months, Han Li will bring letters from Beijing to the Lu family, explaining the situation of the Lu family, especially the three brothers and sisters of the Lu family, no matter how big or small, everything is comprehensive.
However, after hearing this, Yi Yu felt a chill in his heart, Han Li did not report good news or bad news, the things that happened to them from the mouth of the Lu family were unbreakable stories made up one by one-
Lu Jun was arranged into the north camp of Chang'an, and took the way of a martial artist, Lu Zhi was in the imperial examination of Zhenguan for ten years, although he did not enter the top three, but he was appointed as a five-grade rite Langzhong, and Yu Yu had an illness at the beginning of the year, no major problem, and as soon as the thirteenth birthday passed, there were more people in the Huaiguo Mansion who came to ask for relatives......
"Communication between the two places is inconvenient, the last time I heard about you was in October," Lu patted the back of Yu Yu's hand and said: "You traveled with the parade of "Kun Yuanlu" this time, but you have suffered a lot, where have you run such a long way, tell me about your mother, your eldest brother and second brother, how are they now?" ”
There are forehead hair hanging silk outside, and it is difficult to distinguish the details at night, and Lu Shi did not notice the scars on Yuyu's face and neck.
"Okay," Yi Yu buried her head in her chest, and her voice was very soft, "they are very good, if the eldest brother didn't become an official, he could still come out with me this time." ”
The Lu family has lived in lies for half of her life, and Yu Yu really doesn't want to lie to her anymore, so she hesitates whether to find her mother or not, and whether she can see her mother. However, when she came, she realized that she couldn't tell her the truth at all.
Yi Yu never doubted the strength of the Lu family, maybe she could bear the reality of her father's death and her son's death better than herself, but she couldn't say it, or rather, she couldn't say it now.
With Xiao Fei for half a year, she is more or less able to cut the pulse, Lu's physical condition, she touched the wrist pulse, and could see some signs, Lu's is the same as her, she has a woman's disease, the kidneys are water, and then too yin, she is the root of the disease that fell from the first menarche, and Lu's is afraid that it is the worry and spleen of the past year, so the kidney water is too cold.
In this case, the most taboo is joy and sorrow, I am afraid that it will hurt the kidneys, and the mother and daughter have just met for joy, and then listen to the bad news, it will definitely hurt the body and spirit. The best thing to do is to recuperate for a while, and then tell her little by little.
After thinking about it, Yi Yu had a more complicated opinion of Han Li, this person was very cunning, no wonder she was not very worried that her meeting with the Lu clan would expose his lies, even if there was no Lu clan's physical factor, Yu Yu would not tell her the truth at this time. But he didn't have good intentions for the Lu family, took great pains, and was obsessed with deep love, which made people sigh.
Han Li, Han Li, such a character, is it an emotional obstacle that the Lu family can't escape, or is it a bad fate?
"For more than a year, my mother didn't even give you a peace letter, which must have made you anxious, I'm sorry, my mother also wrote a letter to give it to you, but I'm afraid of bringing you trouble."
Han Li told the Lu family that the rumors in Chang'an City were very tight, and if they contacted the Lu family, it would inevitably leak the news, and it was even possible that the Lu family would be wrongly murdered and had something to do with the Anwang Party.
After a night of talking, the sunrise was faint, Yiyu got up lightly, covered the sleeping Lu Shi with a quilt, put on a coat, touched the flower-faced civet lying at the end of the bed, and when he got out of the bedroom, he saw Li Tai sitting in the living room in a neatly dressed manner.
"You didn't sleep last night?" Yi Yu frowned and asked in a low voice, walked up to him and picked up the bamboo tube and poured water to drink.
"Just up." When he had a nightmare in junior high school, he couldn't see anything unusual for a few days, and he didn't sleep all night, and Yu Yu couldn't tell if he was telling the truth or falsehood.
She drank a glass of water, her throat moistened, she sighed, and said softly: "I didn't tell my mother, Han Li ...... him"
She roughly told Li Tai about how Han Li had deceived the Lu family, and although he didn't say a word, Yu Yu knew that he was listening carefully.
"Since that Mrs. Zhou still refuses to see you, and we can't leave Pushaluo City for the time being, I want to condition my mother's body first, and then make plans, Han Li is already the head snake here, I'm afraid that he will have another incident, this morning, I'm going to meet him and talk, what do you think?"
"You're going to go by yourself?"
"Yes," Yi Yu nodded, "At present, Han Li doesn't dare to do anything to me, I want to meet him alone, after talking, there are some things to plan." ”
When she said this, the expression on her face changed, and she thought deeply, revealing that she had a complicated mind, and she did not shy away from Li Tai.
Li Tai saw that she was distracted in front of him, and did not make a sound to disturb, raised one hand diagonally on the side of his ear, and observed the changes in the expression on her face expressionlessly.
"Leg up."
"Huh?"
"Left leg."
"Huh?"
After two doubts, Yi Yu still obediently raised her left leg, but he reached out and held her ankle, she was startled, and hurriedly held his shoulder to stabilize her figure.
"What to do—hiss."
Li Tai pressed his thumb on the swollen place of her foot, ignored her gasping sound, used two points of force, and gently pushed left and right, rubbing away the bruise very old-fashionedly. Yi Yu was very happy last night, so he didn't care about the foot he broke before, and he was pressed by him at this time, only to feel pain and pain, and he didn't dare to exhale pain, for fear of waking up Lu's family, so he could only whisper:
"You, you tap, it hurts."
Li Tai glanced up at her ugly face, and said in a light tone:
"You won't hurt if I hurt you like this."
"I didn't think it last night—hiss, pain, pain, you light." The facts show that not every sentence can be reciprocated, the strength of the hands on the feet increased, and the cold sweat of Yu Yu was about to break out, and the hand on his shoulder grabbed it hard, lowered his voice, and complained in a low voice:
"You're going to bully me right now."
"Huh?" The eyes behind the mask were staring at hers, puzzled.
"Why, am I not right," Yu Yu looked back without showing weakness, and after a while, her foot was no longer so painful, so she turned her head and continued to whisper:
"You treat me better now than you used to."
Li Tai's hand moved, and he didn't know where she got this idea, so he asked, "What do you say?" ”
"There are many sayings," Yi Yu looked sideways at the hidden bedroom door, and counted them one by one, "Let's talk about it from a distance, when we were in Chang'an, when we were in the secret house, you taught me to play chess and archery every day, and found me a lot of miscellaneous books to relieve my boredom, and often gave me some gadgets." When I was in the palace, you helped me build a pharmacy, found various outlines for me to see, and helped me buy medicinal materials, without having to worry about it. In the palace for a few days, you still know to accompany me to enjoy the snow and plum blossoms, and go outside the palace to admire the moon and watch the lights. ”
Recalling the past days, the two got along bit by bit, and unconsciously, there were so many connections, but now, Yu Yu's mouth pouted, and he felt aggrieved, so he didn't care about anything else, and said bluntly:
"Really calculated, since we lived in Python Mountain in April, you have treated me day by day, and when you teach me to use secret weapons, you are fierce every time. If I chat with Sister Flyfly in the evening, and you rest next door, the second ** will give me a look on my face, and I won't say a word to me all day long. Do you remember, once the little fox scratched one of your robes, and you almost choked it out of breath, so scared that it couldn't eat for days, and when he saw you, he ran away, and I was not treated well by you. ”
Li Tai naturally remembered this matter clearly, that robe was a single dress she specially sewn for him when it was hot and humid in summer, but he only wore it once, and was destroyed by a brute, and then let her hide from him for three or four days, it was also for that brute.
couldn't see the light in Li Tai's eyes at all, and the more Yi Yu spoke, the more aggrieved he felt, turned his head, and said with resentment:
"Speaking closer, not counting last night and here, in the past ten days, what you have said to me every day, a slap can be counted, ignore me, even I like to carve a piece of wood, you don't let me. Took me out last night, and you were still, still—still staring at others, how could you have never seen a pretty girl? ”
Her face was hot, she snorted softly in disguise, raised her eyes to look at the roof, and said that this was the one that made her most angry.
This invigorating accusation, if it is replaced by someone else, it is purely self-inflicted, Li Tai is afraid that he will be able to endure the person in front of him, talk to him in such a tone, let go of her ankles, and let her stand on her feet.
"What else?"
After Yi Yu finished complaining, listening to his unfazed question, he began to regret it, secretly hating himself for talking to him, sometimes without thinking. She restrained her arrogant look, lowered her head, and said in a muffled voice:
"It's gone."
"It's been almost a year since I left Beijing," Li Tai changed one hand to support the side of his head, raised her small hand hanging by his side, pinched it in the palm of his hand to play, and said in a low voice: "You don't know what to do, but it hasn't changed at all." ”
Yi Yu frowned, and was hesitating whether to return the mouth, when he heard the sound of the door on the side, his heart jumped, and he withdrew his hand from Li Tai's palm with a "whoosh", and took three steps back in a row to distance himself from him.
After brushing his hair twice, he turned his head and rushed out of the figure, revealing a light smile, and his movements were done in one go, and he said:
"Mother, you're up, why don't you sleep for a while?"
"Sleep well," Lu's gaze that fell on her was extremely gentle, and he turned again, facing Li Tai who was seated, bowed, and said:
"I've seen His Highness, I didn't know His Highness's identity last night, I was so lazy, I don't mind His Highness Wanwang."
Seeing her mother talking to Li Tai so humbly, Yi Yu ignored the strangeness in her heart, and secretly glanced at Li Tai, she told the Lu family last night about his Chang Gongzi and the identity of King Wei, but she didn't mention that the two had a marriage contract, but this matter was not angry with Li Tai, and now she was afraid that he would show her stuff.
Li Tai didn't even glance at the Yu Yu, nodded to the Lu family, and said, "When you go out, you don't have to be polite." This literal politeness is not the slightest joy or anger from the voice alone.
"Yes, mother," Yi Yu was relieved to see that he had not dismantled the stage, stepped forward to hold Lu's arm, and praised Li Tai twice:
"Your Highness is very good, thanks to him for taking care of me along the way."
Lu Shi put his hand on the back of her hand and saluted Li Tai again, his attitude was still respectful, "Little woman Gwen is soft, along the way, I think I have caused you a lot of trouble, thank you so much for taking care of you." ”
Li Tai's gaze behind the mask fell on the face of the woman in front of him, and after observing quietly, he spoke slowly and said:
"That's as it should be."
Hearing this point-in-point sentence, Yi Yu's heart jumped, turned her head to look at the Lu family, and saw that her face was the same, so she put her mind at ease, raised her eyes and glared at Li Tai, secretly glancing at her mother's dullness.
"I don't know when Your Highness plans to return to Beijing for this trip?" Lu asked.
At this point, Yi Yu was angry with Li Tai just now, and he didn't say anything to scare her, and said:
"The return date is undecided."
(Today's one more arrives, plus a little later) ()
