85. That period of time

When Du Ruo woke up on the second day, it was empty, she grabbed her messy hair, yawned and went to the clean room.

After coming out, I heard Bi Luo say that Lu Wuyi had gone out early, and said not to disturb her sleep, Du Ruo thought that Lu Wu's mood was not very good yesterday, and he didn't know what happened.

After Du Ruo went to invite the eldest princess of Jing'an to come back, one of the things he did was to sit on the kang in a daze, distracted, and think about Lu Wu, thinking about how to make him happy.

He didn't see Lu Wu come back until lunch, Du Ruo sighed and decided to find something to do in the afternoon.

She walked around the yard and decided to sort out a small piece of open space against the wall on the east side of the yard, which was a good time to sow seeds, and she could plant some vegetables such as gourds and courgettes.

When the harvest is in the summer, it is still a wonderful thing to pick and fry freshly and deliciously.

Just do it, Du Ruo called Biluo to the big kitchen to ask the steward for tools, and stopped the steward of the big kitchen. There is not a lady in the mansion, no, there is no lady in the capital who will be like this fifth lady in the capital.

Thinking of Du Ruo's identity before marrying into the mansion, the steward knew it again, found a few tools in the utility room, and sent them to Lingyun Courtyard.

Bi Luo saw that Du Ruo had changed into old clothes, rolled up her sleeves and hoeed in the yard, and her heart was sad.

I went out with Lu Wu in the dark today, and there were usually only the two of them waiting in the courtyard, but Xiaoqiu, the only one, did not dare to appear in front of Lu Wu.

She didn't want to find anyone to talk to, so she could only follow behind Du Ruo and keep saying, "Madam, what do we want to eat for the kitchen people to buy, or let the Zhuangzi send it up, you can't grow it yourself." ”

"Those don't have the ones they grow themselves, and they look good when the green vines climb all over the walls. When the fifth master comes back, I will ask him to be there and help build a grape trellis. ”

Du Ruo pointed to the open space in the yard, build a grape trellis, and wait until the next summer to enjoy the cool under the grape trellises, how pleasant.

Bi Luo couldn't understand her thoughts, so she could only resign herself to following her to the ground.

Dinner continued to be Du Ruo sitting alone at the table to eat, there was no trace of Lu Wu, because he was tired from hoeing during the day, so Du Ruo went to bed early.

In the middle of the night, I felt the bed sink in, and a body with a little coolness pressed against her, and then took her into my arms.

"You're back." Du Ruo muttered in a daze.

"Well, sorry for waking you up." Lu Wu kissed her hair, patted her back, and let her continue to sleep.

However, Du Ruo sat up and tried to open his eyes to look at Lu Wu. "What's the matter? Why did you come back so late? ”

"There's a little business to take care of, I'm out of town." Lu Wu pulled her back and continued to lie down, finding a good position and preparing to fall asleep.

As a result, Du Ruo couldn't sleep, and she writhed in Lu Wu's arms. Halfway, Lu Wu said to her in a low voice: "Can't sleep? Let's do something else. ”

Du Ruo pushed him away, shook his head desperately, and finally let him hold him still.

"Mo Xi, what the hell is going on?" Du Ruo endured it for a long time, feeling that Lu Wu hadn't slept yet, and finally couldn't help but ask.

It's been a long time. It was so long that Du Ruo thought that Lu Wu was actually asleep, and only heard his Qingyue's voice sounding in the dark: "Do you really want to hear it?" ”

"Hmm." Du Ruo turned to his side, lying facing him, staring at him with bright eyes, although she could only see his outline dimly, she wanted to know about him, just as she would tell him about her.

"Because my grandmother is the eldest princess, and she has the merit of supporting the emperor from the dragon. At that time, my grandfather, father, and second uncle were also fighting on the frontier. When I was a teenager, I called my friends. On the high horse. At that time I had a violent temper, even a violent ......"

Lu Wu slowly recalled the past and slowly told Du Ruo about it.

Du Ruo couldn't imagine what it was like for this gentle and jade-like, handsome and elegant person in front of him to be violent. In other words, how difficult it is for such a hot-tempered person in the past to transform into such a gentle person now.

I only heard him continue: "At that time, my grandfather killed the enemy in the frontier, and just repelled the barbarians once, and my father continued to stay in the frontier, and my grandfather was getting older, so he was ready to return to Beijing to recuperate, and at this time, I had an accident......

At that time, many things were forgotten, but that one thing was so clearly imprinted in his mind, perhaps because it turned his lifelong cognition upside down, and until now, he occasionally wakes up in nightmares like that.

"That time it was a banquet for a powerful person in the capital, and one of his children and I were friends with wine and meat, so I also went to ......."

He paused and said, "Yesterday, the woman you met called my cousin was the daughter of my aunt in the next room, because the family was full of boys, and there was no girl's family, and her grandmother was very happy. She also went to that banquet ......"

Du Ruo heard the negative and dark emotions in his words, and couldn't bear to say: "You still don't say it, it's all over, I don't want you to think about that kind of pain again." ”

Lu Wushou patted her on the back and continued: "She often goes in and out of the princess's mansion and the Zhenguo Mansion, she has a lively personality and is also delicate, and the brothers in the family are very good to her, but she is like that, but she stabbed me." ”

He closed his eyes, and his mind was full of the bloody scene at that time, "I was provoked by a royal brother at the banquet, and I couldn't control my temper, so I first injured him, and then I beat whoever was fighting, and the people who were there were fighting, and the dead were killed, and the injured were ......."

"The night wants to stop me. I was injured and lay in bed for half a year, and Mingbao, who was very young at the time. Fortunately, he was playful at the time and sneaked outside to play, otherwise, I dare not imagine. But it also scared him so much that he burned for three days and three nights......"

Lu Wu's body trembled slightly, and Du Ruo hugged him tightly, wanting to give him warmth.

"Because I used to be hot-tempered, everyone thought that I was pampered and coquettish, and I could kill people in the capital. Many people demanded that the yamen kill me to pay for my life. Only the people in my family believed that I was framed. My grandmother, and my mother, ran around for me. My mother was also frightened and overworked at that time, and she would ...... later."

It's just that at that time, the war was chaotic, and his family was running around for him, wanting to leave his life behind, but they didn't pursue the truth, and when things were settled, they wanted to check again, and they had missed the best opportunity. The trails have all been erased.

Tears slipped down from Lu Wu's eyes, flowed into his sideburns, and disappeared in an instant.

Du Ruo hugged him tightly. At that time, he must have been helpless, hesitant, and guilty. Although he calls friends and sings every night, he is a good person, otherwise how would he be good to her.

She was so distressed that she didn't know how to comfort him, she just hugged him tightly.

"Grandmother has been strong all her life, that time, her face was trampled on the ground by those people, and the injured people unanimously demanded that I kill to pay for my life, and when I thought I was dead, bad news came from the frontier, grandfather, although they blocked another attack by the barbarians, but they were also killed......"

When my mother heard the bad news that my father had gone, she fell ill at once, and soon followed my father and my aunt...... At that time, I was disillusioned, and the appointment awaited the verdict of the yamen. At this time, the emperor spoke, saying that too many people had died in the family, and there was no more than me, and no less than me, and ordered the yamen to release me. ”

Although he was released from prison at that time, he did not have the courage to continue living.

Now that I think about it, at that time, the grandmother who lost her husband, son and daughter-in-law was forced to support her grief and come to comfort him, what an unfilial thing.

And Ming Yang, who is only a little older than him. But he can restrain his elegance and help the family take care of the housework.

And the eldest brother, after their father died, it was his turn to support the family, and he was not very old at that time.

He is the only one who sounds good about cultivating his mind and cultivating his temperament to be a layman, but it is better to say that he is escaping.

Later, the master showed up again, and he asked me to go with him, and I didn't have any idea at the time, so I went with him. Originally, I wanted to shave my degree at that time, but the master said that it was not the right time, so I should only be a layman who cultivated...... Later, you all know and meet you. ”

Although Lu Wu said it lightly, how many hardships there are in the middle, how can I explain it in words?

She thought of the cousin who wanted to design him at the beginning, and when she saw her dress yesterday, she was doing well, and asked hesitantly, "Isn't that girl who called your cousin nothing?" ”

Lu Wu thought of the people who went out of the city to see today, and said mockingly: "She, at first, everyone didn't pay attention to her, it was she who was scared when she saw so many dead and injured, and was seen by her grandmother. ”

"All she said was spring. yao。 But I didn't have any evil thoughts after drinking that wine, but I did have murderous thoughts. Otherwise, I wouldn't have injured so many people. ”

"At that time, when my grandmother wanted to ask her again, she was frightened, and everyone in my uncle's house came to intercede, so my grandmother let her go at that time......"

Hearing that Rong Niang finally got married, Du Ruo frowned and said angrily: "Why do bad people have such a good end." ”

Lu Wu patted him comfortingly and said, "Now her life is not easy." However, it was all her own fault, and she couldn't blame anyone else. The rest of her life will be even more sad. ”

The corners of Du Ruo's mouth curled when he heard this, and said: "That's right, bad people have to have a bad end, otherwise who is still a good person?" ”

After being happy, he said sullenly: "Don't be sad, it's all over, you still have me." ”

Lu Wu hugged her and said, "I'm not sad, I believe in karma, good people will have good rewards, and bad people will have his end." ”

Du Ruo nodded, hugged him lovingly, and rubbed his face against his open chest, wanting to comfort him.

Lu Wu saw her head rubbing around, and those sad emotions were instantly healed by her, and her heart suddenly became quiet and soft.

He pressed her rubbing head, lifted her chin, kissed her forehead, then her eyelids, cheeks, and finally settled on her soft lips, and the man pressed it up......

When he woke up the next day, Du Ruo couldn't help but scratch the bed in shame, trying to comfort him, but he was so excited to comfort him like that.

She lifted her sore legs, picked up the pillow next to her and pounded it as someone hated.

When Lu Wu entered the inner room, he saw his wife in a state of limbo, pounding the pillow he was sleeping on.

He walked over, sat on the edge of the bed, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Ah Ruo, you are awake." ”

Du Ruo raised his head and smiled embarrassedly, he saw such a childish thing.

He rubbed her already messy hair and said to her, "Today Shi'er is home, let's go to Grandmother early." ”

Du Ruo then remembered that today was the day when Lu Shi was off class. Nodding, she wanted to get up and go to wash, but she didn't stand up straight just after getting out of bed, her legs were sore and she sat on the bed, and she glared at Lu Wu on the side.

Lu Wu smiled warmly, pressed her who still wanted to stand up, and called Bi Luo to fetch water and send it in.

When Bilo put the water on the shelf, he got up and served her to rinse her mouth, and twisted the veil to wash her face carefully.

When he did this, he smiled at the corners of his mouth, his eyes were warm, and his movements were gentle, and after doing this, he squatted down to help Du Ruo put on his shoes.

Du Ruo looked up and smiled, obediently watching him do this.

After everything was in order, the two went to Chunhui Hall together.

Mama Lin happily welcomed the two of them in, only to see Lu Shizheng crying with the eldest princess of Jing'an with an exaggerated expression about the hard study life of the Guozijian.

Lu Si shook the folding fan that he never left and looked at Lu Shi's performance with a smile.

Seeing them come in, Lu Si nodded, and continued to watch Lu Shi's performance happily.

"Sister Ruo, can you make me some small snacks that can be stored for a long time? I took it to the school to eat. When Lu Shi saw Du Ruo come in, he stopped crying at the eldest princess of Jing'an, and turned to beg Du Ruo for food.

Du Ruo was most afraid that Lu Shi's delicate face would show a pitiful expression, she nodded softly, but Lu Wu scolded: "Is there still a bite for you to eat outside the mansion?" Do you need to point at your sister-in-law so pitifully? ”

Lu Shi shrunk his neck. muttered: "None of that was done by my sister-in-law." Moreover, he also said that he would give it to Chen Xiaosan.

The family got together for dinner, and the men went to the study to discuss things, and when they left, Lu Si took Lu Shi away a little, saying that he was also old and should know this.

The Chen family, Du Ruo, and the two children of the Chen family were left chatting with the eldest princess of Jing'an.

As he spoke, Chen talked about a major event that happened in the capital yesterday.

"Grandmother, do you remember Rong Niang from the second aunt's house?" Chen asked the eldest princess of Jing'an.

The eldest princess of Jing'an said 'um' and listened to Chen's continue.

"This time, my cousin and her family's face will be lost. It is estimated that her daughters will be difficult to marry in the future. ”

"What's wrong?" The eldest princess of Jing'an asked casually, because of Rong Niang's matter, she hadn't seen anyone in the second room for many years.

"She was caught and raped by the people of the Zhao family in the suburbs of Beijing, and the wild man was still the son of King Zhao. Now that she has been arrested, such a thing must be more disadvantaged by the woman, and besides, the relatives of the prince and the emperor of Zhao are men, and they will only be said to be greedy and lustful, but Rong Niang is not necessarily. Chen pouted.

When she was a girl, she was very envious of Rong Niang for being able to enter and leave the eldest princess's mansion, but she didn't expect her to be lucky enough to marry. And Rong Niang......

The eldest princess of Jing'an didn't speak, she knew that Rong Niang was given to the prince of Zhao by Zhao Ziliang, but she didn't expect to be caught soon.

I only heard Chen say again: "Although Rong Niang was caught, I didn't expect Zhao Ziliang to refuse to divorce his wife and make Zhao Da angry half to death." With a wave of his hand, he drove the husband and wife out of the Zhao Mansion, and also expelled Zhao Ziliang. ”

The eldest princess of Jing'an snorted, this is too cheap for them.

When Du Ruo heard that Rong Niang was caught raping, he thought that Lu Wu said last night that Rong Niang would be even more sad in the future, but he didn't expect to hear the news so soon.

Sitting there, I couldn't help but secretly suspect that the man had wanted revenge for a long time, but he often said: "The Lu family will take revenge if they have revenge, no matter when it is sooner or later." ”

Wait until the evening when you return to Lingyun Courtyard. Du Ruo kept peeking at the man sitting on the kang reading a book after bathing and washing.

A moon-white middle coat, reading by the light, and his hair will be casually draped behind his back at night.

Lu Wu couldn't help but put down the book when Du Ruo saw it, wrapped his long arms around her, and asked her, "What's wrong?" If there's anything you want to ask, just ask. ”

Du Ruo blinked his eyes and said, "That, did you do Rong Niang's thing?" ”

Lu Wu rubbed her increasingly pink face and said, "Mrs. Zhao has always looked at Zhao Ziliang unpleasantly, and she has long wanted to pick on their thorns. I just helped her. ”

Du Ruo leaned into his arms and said 'oh'.

"Do you think I'm too ruthless? Don't even let women go? Lu Wu asked Du Ruo with a subtle expression.

Du Ruo replied strangely: "Why do you think so?" Do bad guys still divide into men and women? Moreover, I still like this life. ”

Lu Wu listened and the corners of his lips grinned in a big arc. She felt that it was useless for him to be ruthless. She was already his.

Since Lu Wu told her about that incident, the relationship between the two has sublimated to a new level.

Lu Wu has been a layman for many years, and basically has no friends, so except for the things that must be dealt with, he stays in the house to accompany Du Ruo the rest of the time.

And Du Ruo except for going to the eldest princess of Jing'an and the Chen family, the rest of the time he and Lu Wu were messing with her in the courtyard.

She crossed her waist and commanded Lu Wu to sow heavenly melon seeds on the ground, while painting and painting with Lu Wu the beautiful scenery of vines climbing all over the wall in the future.

"When this place is full of green, it is not only eye-catching, but also vegetables to eat. Freshly picked Tianluo gourd scrape off the skin on the outside with rubble, cut the hob blade, put a little lard fat and stir-fry, put a handful of dried shrimp from Quanzhou before coming out of the pot, sprinkle some chives, and the fragrance is overflowing. ”

Speaking of other dishes, how to cook them, and the saliva of the dark night listening to the help next to him flowed.

Lu Wu heard Du Ruo say that he wanted to build a grape trellis in the yard, and when he was free, Ding Ling took it upon himself to build a grape trellis for Du Ruo.

After the eldest princess of Jing'an found out, she smiled happily and said to Mama Lin: "In the future, the vegetables and grapes we eat will point to the two of them." ”

Mama Lin joked: "No." The seeds had just been planted, and the fifth lady had already thought about what she was going to cook in the future, and she didn't know if she could eat them. ”

The subordinates in the mansion are also speculating that it is the first time they have seen such a lady, and it is a shame that the fifth master is still messing around with her.

The transparent morning light of the early morning fell silently on the green leaves that climbed all over the courtyard wall, and the morning breeze gently blew, and the green leaves gently swayed, with a faint fragrance of flowers.

Lu Wu hurriedly walked from the courtyard to Lingyun Courtyard, his temples were slightly sweating because of the hurry, and he was still wearing the robe he wore when he went out yesterday, and when he arrived at the porch of the main house, he saw Bi Luo standing there and asked her, "Isn't Ah Ruo awake yet?" ”

Bi Luo respectfully blessed her body, "Fifth master, Madame has already gotten up and is in the inner room." ”

Lu Wu nodded, lifted the bamboo curtain and entered the house, seeing Du Ruo sitting on the couch in a daze, he lifted his robe and sat next to her, "Ah Ruo, I'm sorry, I went out in a hurry yesterday, I didn't have time to send you the news, and I won't do it again next time." ”

Du Ruo was not angry in the first place, but she heard the news from the eldest princess of Jing'an yesterday, and when she saw his guilty and embarrassed appearance, she immediately relented.

However, he always had to let him know that she was angry, so he snorted coldly with a cold face: "It's okay to send someone back to deliver the news, but you don't say anything, so I waited for you all night in vain." ”

Lu Wuyi hugged Du Ruo, hugged her into his arms, and apologized repeatedly.

Du Ruo was tired of being in his arms, but he didn't know if he was in a hurry to come back, or what, he was still wearing yesterday's clothes, and he was a little sour after sweating, Du Ruo snorted, his face turned pale suddenly, and he pushed Lu Wu away and retched.

Lu Wu's whole person is not good, smell the body. It was indeed a little stinky, and he didn't dare to step forward to get close to Du Ruo, so he could only call Biluo to bring water in.

Finally Du Ruo stopped vomiting, and Lu Wu stood a foot away from her with a guilty face, "Ah Ruo, I'll go wash up, you wait for me." ”

Du Ruo covered his mouth with one hand, and waved his hand at him, only to feel his stomach churning.

Lu Wu quickly went to the cubicle to take a bath, changed his clothes and came out, seeing Du Ruo sitting there with a pale face, he couldn't help but feel a throbbing pain in his heart, and asked her softly, "Is it better?" It's all my fault. Why don't you ask Dr. Hu to take your pulse? ”

Du Ruoqiang endured his nausea and shook his head, "What should I do if I call Dr. Hu over early in the morning and scare my grandmother?" Maybe I didn't have breakfast and was hungry. ”

Lu Wu was busy letting Biluo have breakfast.

After breakfast, Lu Wu cautiously asked Du Ruo: "Is it better now?" ”

Du Ruo smiled, smiled at Lu Wu, and nodded.

Lu Wu breathed a sigh of relief, and he would never go out of the city in the middle of the night like this in the future.

Because of a bowl of glutinous japonica rice porridge for breakfast and two pieces of thin ice, Du Ruo felt much better, and when Lu Wu wanted to go to Dr. Hu again, Du Ruo refused.

During the time when she was recuperating in Dongjiang Mansion, she ate the yao prescribed by Dr. Hu, and it was so bad that she didn't want to come again.

Lu Wu had just done something wrong, and he didn't dare to force it too much, so he went with her.
