Chapter 2: Wen's Death
The wind is blowing.
The wind in autumn is the coolest.
Wei Nu'er looked up into the distance, where the brightest light was the Ripple Garden. In the house, one of the most dazzling gardens. The wife of the general's mansion, Li Yuzhi's residence.
The second day, morning.
Bai Shuang pushed the door in, the emotions in her eyes were too complicated, and her tone was almost cold, "Miss, the fifth lady has gone." ”
The slave squinted and lay on the bed, "If you die, you will die, the inner courtyard of this deep house is not afraid of adding another lonely soul." ”
Bai Shuang stared at the slave for a long time, as if he was trying his best to hide something, "Miss, the fifth lady died of illness on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival. ”
Mid-Autumn Festival?
The slave opened his eyes suddenly, was silent for a long time, and finally spoke, "Dress up for me, go to the front and take a look." Er Liang answered, but was stopped by the slave, "Go and call Cai'er over, so that you can see her craftsmanship." ”
Bai Shuang nodded and turned to leave.
When the people in the front hall came to Xiaoliu'an to speak, Cai'er had already groomed the slave properly.
Nu'er looked at the red magpie in the woman's hair in the mirror and chuckled secretly. I thought it was a great character, but it turned out to be nothing more than that.
Walking on the way to Tingyu Pavilion, Fang Gu greeted her from afar, "The old slave greets the fourth young lady." ”
"Miss, I heard that there are many affairs in the Yu Pavilion, so I asked Aunt Fang to help last night." Erliang whispered in the slave's ear.
Nu'er nodded, here I heard that Yuge is a dead man's big thing, and she doesn't care about it. He asked, "What's going on inside?" Has my father arrived? ”
"The general should go to see the fifth lady for the last time." Fang Gu replied, and then tilted her head and instructed Cai'er, "You have fast legs, go in first and report it, Miss has me here to bring it in." ”
Bilan hesitated, but still responded, "Yes." ”
Fang Gu took the slave in, walked around for a long time, and stopped at a corner.
She looked at the slave carefully from the bottom up, and her eyes stopped at the slave's head, frowning slightly. She led the slave to a side porch, where a culvert was visible just in time for the reflection of the two in the water.
Fang Gu stared at the surface of the canal and said slowly, "Fourth Miss, listening to the rain pavilion is a dead man's bad luck, and it is the most unpopular. Committing taboos. ”
Nu'er naturally understood what she was referring to, and was a little puzzled in her heart, how could the person sent by Li Yuzhi be so kind to remind her?
Looking at her again, her hair was raised high and shiny. But only a wooden hairpin was missing. Wearing a blue-gray home-style coarse cloth, it is very inconspicuous, but the waist is straight and very energetic.
Who is this Fang Gu?
"I was careless."
Nu'er said with a smile, reaching out and pulling out the magpie hairpin in his hair and throwing it into the culvert. There was a plop and no more, only the ripples in the canal proved that it had existed.
Sometimes, if you want something to disappear forever, it's as simple as a flick.
Fang Gu didn't expect that this fourth young lady, who had not yet reached Sheng, would be so smart, just such a simple sentence could be understood at all. I was secretly surprised in my heart, but I praised her a little more. It's just that he didn't say anything on his face, as if nothing had happened, "After this corner is the ear room of the Listening Rain Pavilion, Cai'er must have already told her, so she will wronged the fourth lady herself." As for the hairpin that Miss lost, the old slave will send someone to find it, so please don't worry about it. ”
That's a smart man.
Nu'er lowered his head and smiled lightly, his eyes were as bright as the moon, and as bright as the stars. "Then there's Aunt Law. It's just that the hairpin is not a valuable object, and if you can't find it, it's just that. ”
Fang Gu is blessed, respectful but not humble, "The old slave understands. ”
"Auntie, go and get busy. Don't worry about me. With that, the slave turned around and walked around the corner, and sure enough, he saw Cai'er waiting outside the ear room.
Bi Lan came up from afar, her face stiffened and then returned to normal, "Miss can be regarded as here, let the general's wife wait!" ”
"I'll go first and see my father and the eldest lady." The slave waved her hand to stop Cai'er's words, and walked straight into the ear room.
"The four girls have arrived!" Li Yuzhi sat beside Lu Zhi, the first to find the slave who entered the door. couldn't help exclaiming, and her tone was quite happy, like a mother who misses her daughter.
Bending his knees, Nu'er pretended to be a little and slight, and asked for peace in a meek tone as much as possible, "Nu'er has seen his father and the eldest lady. On the way here, the hair ornament inadvertently didn't know where it was left, and it was too late, and he asked his father for forgiveness. ”
Lu Zhi's eyes were dark, and he didn't blame her much, but spoke calmly, "Yuzhi is the main room, and it is your mother-in-law." Call your mother in the future, don't give birth to a title. ”
There seemed to be a fire burning in his heart, and hatred spread silently in his body. Mother, I'm sorry. What a slave wants will never be mediocrity. I will bring back to them a thousandfold the humiliation that you and I have endured, and the pain of my younger brother, who died at the hands of my biological father! I'm going to destroy the Lu family and destroy this place where you are buried!
Ignoring the hand that was already clenched in his sleeve, the slave smiled, and smiled decently, "Yes, the slave asks for peace to his mother." ”
Yes, as long as the goal can be achieved, what about recognizing the thief as a mother? One day, she will ask for it one by one.
Li Yuzhi nodded with a smile, accepted her "mother", and said, "The young ladies in the house are all children of concubines, and concubines will treat them as their own and treat them well." It's just that Tong'an suffered, and he lost his biological mother at a young age......" said and took out a brocade to wipe the corners of his eyes, as if there were really tears to fall.
The Tong'an in Li Yuzhi's mouth is the son of the Wufang Wen family who has just passed away - Lu Tong'an. This year is only eight or nine years old, ranking sixth.
Nu'er frowned, she knew that a person like Li Yuzhi would never tolerate any concubine in the mansion to have a bright future, and she mentioned it like this, just to keep Lu Tongan by her side, break his wings, and make him never a threat.
The slave sneered, how could it be so easy? Lee's.
"Father, I live alone. The sixth brother has just suffered the pain of losing his mother, so it is better to let the sixth brother move to Xiaoliu'an to live. The slave can also enlighten him. ”
Li Yuzhi didn't seem to have thought that Wei Nu'er, who had never taken the initiative to speak before, would have such a request, and was a little caught off guard, "I'm afraid that's not good, after all, the fourth girl is a girl and lives in Xiaoliu'an with her, and it will damage her daughter's reputation if it is spread out." ”
"Father, the slave was also injured by the loss of his mother, and he can best understand the pain in the heart of the sixth brother. also knows best what kind of care the sixth brother needs most. What's more, the slave has not yet reached Sheng, and the sixth brother is only nine years old. What gossip can the two siblings gossip about? ”
"Fourth girl, now is not the time to be petty. How can a child take care of a child? Don't mess around anymore. Although Li Yuzhi was still smiling, the slave could still see the disgust that gradually ignited in her eyes.
Nu'er seemed to be ignorant and continued, "Nu'er's biological mother has been dead for many years, and Nu'er has been living alone in Xiaoliu'an. I will be able to take good care of my sixth brother, and I ask my mother and father to rest assured. ”
The birth mother was mentioned many times.
Something flashed in Lu Zhi's eyes, he looked at Nu'er, her eyebrows and eyes became more and more like her mother, the peerless and graceful woman. He couldn't help but be stunned, as if the woman in the past was in front of him, smiling and smiling like when he first saw him.
Even if she betrayed him, even if she loved someone else. But the slave standing in front of them now is just their daughter after all. It only belongs to the daughter of Lu Zhi and Wei Fuliu.
The softness in his heart was touched, and this man who had been fighting on the battlefield for many years also had a trace of tenderness. He raised his hand to stop the Li family, who was about to speak, looked at the slave and said, "As soon as the funeral is over, take Tong'an to Xiaoliu'an." There were not enough people, so I went to Zhang Quan by myself to send two. ”
"Thank you for your father's fulfillment."
"You've got to think about it." Lu Zhi later added, "If Tong'an makes a mistake, you will also be punished." ”
"General, this ......" Li Yuzhi wanted to say something more.
Lu Zhi didn't look at her, but waited for the slave's answer.
The slave looked at him and bowed, "Thank you, father." ”
Lu Zhi had already ordered, and Li Yuzhi had no choice but to give up. I just think that I will always be in the backyard, and there will be no disputes, but I will not continue to entangle. so as not to lose her identity as a main room. Then he called the girl and asked, "How is the funeral of the fifth lady?" ”
"Mrs. Hui, it should be playing mourning music." This girl's name is Qingfang, she is slightly blessed, her face is round, very cute, but she is not half delicate.
That's right, Li Yuzhi's employment has always been not allowed to appear on the side.
Li Yuzhi looked at Lu Zhi, "General, do you want to see the fifth sister for the last time?" ”
"She has served me for many years......" Lu Zhi muttered, sighed, and looked sad, "Let's go, go to the front hall." ”
Nu'er also got up with everyone and followed Lu Zhi to the front hall.
"General!" Zhang Quan hurried over from the gate of the mansion and whispered to Lu Zhi. And he stood respectfully aside.
Lu Zhi looked startled, and immediately waved his sleeves away.
"Father!" The slave couldn't help but stop him.
She looked at him, and the coldness in her eyes was the same as when her mother passed away, "The last time the fifth lady was seen, didn't you go to see it?" ”
Nu'er remembers vividly that it was raining that day. She also stood in front of Lu Zhi like this, almost desperately begging, begging him to hire a doctor for his mother, begging him to see his mother, just a glance, a look before death.
Unfortunately, until his mother was buried in the ground, she was not able to see him.
At that time, he turned his back to her and said, "It's not me that your mother wants to see. ”
Who could that be?
Who else but you, my father?
However, you let her linger on the sickbed and fend for herself.
You killed your son with your own hands and destroyed her hope.
You humiliated me and made her miserable, and you couldn't bear to leave me alone and die alone.
You have suspected her all your life and tormented her all your life.
My dear father, how can I not despair if you killed my brother and forced my mother to death? How can you be willing? How can I not hate you!
The slave waited for him, how she wished he would enter the Wen family's mourning hall, so that she too could deceive herself, her father had never abandoned their mother and daughter.
However, the truth is always hurtful.
All she was waiting for was Lu Zhi's words, "Wen'er has always been gentle, and she naturally knows my affection for her." It's better not to see it, so as not to add to the sadness. ”
My heart grew cold. The slave reined in his thoughts.
"Father has a point. The deceased is gone, and it will never be. ”
Nu'er took a step back, "Congratulations to Father." ”
