Chapter 40: Flowers Bloom and Straighten (1)
Three days later, Yun Ci still did not return to Yunfu. On the contrary, the guards who followed sent a letter back, saying that Hou Ye took Zhuying and a few other people to insist on going out of the city to find a cure for the epidemic.
As soon as the news came back, Mrs. Tai was furious, and at the same time worried, so she immediately passed the second master Yunqi to take people out of the city, and he must find Yunci back.
When Yunqi received the order in Mrs. Tai's house, he looked a little reluctant. No one in this stall wants to go out of Yanlan City, for fear that they will lose their lives if they are infected with the epidemic. The second aunt was listening, and she didn't dare to say a word, so she only asked the doctor to prepare a lot of medicinal materials in private, and asked Yunqi to take it on the road just in case.
Yunfu suddenly fell into a slight panic, after all, it was because of Mrs. Tai. This former pillar of the Yun Mansion, the widowed mother who has independently supported the Yun family for more than ten years, is still one of the cores of the Yun family. Her uneasiness and anger will affect the entire Yun Clan.
All of a sudden, this plague seemed to be menacing, and even the Yun clan was powerless.
If Yunqi is used to eating, drinking, and having fun on weekdays, he should be a drunken person, at least in Izuxiu's heart, he has always thought so. Unexpectedly, Yunqi took the people out of the city for just two days, and brought back the news, saying that he had found Yun Ci. This surprised Izuku.
It's just that the messenger of the news failed to enter Yanlan City, so he died outside the city gate, and before he died, he told the news to the soldiers defending the city before swallowing his last breath.
The housekeeper Yun Zhong sent someone to cremate his body to prevent the plague from being introduced into the city, but even so, Mrs. Tai still ordered the Yun Mansion not to go out, and cooked medicine, whether it was useful or not, the whole house had three bowls per person every day, and it was only eaten as food.
Two days later, the two Yunci brothers returned to Yanlan City. Yun Ci did not return home immediately, but went to another hospital to study the prescription of the epidemic, Yun Qi came back proudly, and did not forget to praise himself in front of Mrs. Tai.
"My mother doesn't know anything, and I don't dare to say anything about the other things, but finding people is a first-class skill." The clouds are full of complacency.
"Oh? How did you find people? Let's hear it. Mrs. Tai asked with a smile, her expression very pleasant. She said this, but as if she had expected Yunqi to be able to find people back, she was not curious or surprised.
Yunqi sold Guanzi, smiled, and said, "I can't tell you that this is my secret magic weapon." ”
Mrs. Tai didn't ask any more questions when she heard this, but said, "Have you been diagnosed before entering the mansion?" Are you sick with Master Hou? ”
"The eldest brother personally diagnosed me, saying that he didn't contract the epidemic, so he let me come back." Yun Qi said.
Mrs. Tai nodded: "I've worked hard for you in the past few days, go down and rest." After that, he looked at Yunqi's biological mother Hua again: "It's not easy for him to go this time, you go to his garden to take care of it for two days." ”
Hearing this, the second aunt Taihua was overjoyed, and thanked her for a long time before retiring with Yunqi.
The rule of the Lixin Mansion is that all sons are raised under the knees of their biological mothers, and unless the biological mother makes a mistake, they will be deprived of the right to raise their parents and children. This method is not quite the same as other high gates, but it is a little more humane, but it can also highlight the identity and majesty of the sister-in-law.
Because of these rules that have been handed down for hundreds of years, Yunqi has been raised under the knees of the Hua family, and Yun Xian also follows his biological mother Wen. In this way, until he was thirteen years old, he was married to a servant maid and moved to live in a separate garden. Since then, mother and son have not been allowed to interact with each other too closely, and the son in particular has not been allowed to stay with his mother overnight unless he has the consent of the mother.
This is also the rule that came to Mrs. Tai's Rongjin Hall to figure out. It's just that there is a garden within a garden, which is very simple and beautifully arranged, but it has been vacant. Under careful questioning, I heard Chi's mother mention that it was the place where Yun Ci lived when he was young.
With such an association, Izumi had doubts about Yunqi's current state of life. He is undoubtedly the most expensive of the three brothers of the Yun family, and he is also an outlier in the Lixin Hou Mansion, which has a strict family education and a good reputation all over the world.
But if Yunqi really grew up with his biological mother Hua, how could Hua sit idly by and ignore his son's absurd behavior? There are only three explanations for this: either Hua's deliberate indulgence; Either she is too doting on Yunqi; Or, the performance of Yunqi is just an illusion......
Izumi stayed in Mrs. Tai's garden like this for seven days, and early on the morning of the eighth day, after serving Mrs. Tai, I had breakfast, and Izumi was left alone to speak.
Mrs. Tai's mother rewarded her with a string of ancient sandalwood Buddhist beads, and then said to Chuxiu: "You have served well these days, and today the Hou Ye returns to the house, you first go back to Zhiyanxuan to prepare to greet you." ”
Yun Ci is coming back! Out of Xiu pressed the joy in her heart, and lowered her eyebrows to accept the reward.
Mrs. Tai smiled kindly, turned to Chi's mother and said, "What a clever person, it is not in vain that the marquis has traveled thousands of miles to bring it back." In the future, Zhiyanxuan has a serious heroine, and she can also be assigned to take charge of herself. ”
Hearing this, the palm of the hand holding the Buddha beads seemed to rub out a fire, and the burning was unbearable. She smiled reluctantly, tried to hide her strangeness, bowed to Mrs. Tai three times, and thanked Chi's mother before coming out of Rongjintang.
Halfway through, Izumi met the second master Yunqi and the housekeeper Yunzhong, the former was telling the latter something, how could I lose my soul and lose my soul, I didn't listen to it, and only made a greeting.
Yunqi's expression was a little strange, with a bit of indescribable suddenness. Yun Zhong seemed very polite, and responded to Xiu's head, and continued to obey Yun Qi's orders.
After that, there was nothing to do all the way, and he returned to Zhiyanxuan.
Yun Ci returned to Yunfu at noon, and I heard that he had developed a way to prevent the epidemic. As soon as he came back, he went straight to Mrs. Tai's Rongjin Hall, and went with Bamboo Shadow, Light Rhyme, and Light Heart. Izuku waited in Zhiyan Xuan for a long time, but did not wait for Yunci, but waited for the maid of the second master Yunqi first.
"Are you Sister Izumi?" As soon as the maid entered Zhiyan Xuan, she saw Xiu standing in front of the vertical arch carved door, so she stepped forward and asked.
Looking at this girl's eyes, Xiu only smiled slightly and nodded.
"I am Yue Ju in the second master's garden, and I was instructed by the second master to send you something." Yue Ju took out a small brocade box from his arms as he spoke, handed it to Xiu and said, "The second master said that he was drunk that day and was rude, please don't blame my sister." ”
Izumi was very surprised when she heard this. Where is there a master who apologizes to the slave and maid? She hurriedly waved her hand at Yueju, indicating that this thing could not be accepted.
Yueju looks younger than Izuxiu, but her eyebrows and eyes are very handsome, and her smile is like two crescents: "If my sister doesn't accept it, it won't be good for me to explain to the second master when I go back." ”
Yue Ju lowered his voice as he spoke, and whispered close to Chu Xiu's ear: "Sister doesn't know, this time the second master went out of the city to find the Hou Ye, and was reprimanded by the Hou Ye again. The second master was trained by the Hou Ye to send me over, and he has to trouble you to talk about this in front of the Hou Ye. ”
When I heard this, I couldn't cry or laugh. I don't know what this second master Yunqi thinks, so he was reprimanded by Yun Ci, and he specially came to apologize to himself, for fear that others would not know that he had been abruptly offended.
Hearing Yueju say this, it was difficult for Chu Xiu to refuse, so he had to reach out and take the brocade box.
Yue Ju saw that Chu Xiu no longer shirked, so he hid his face and giggled, and his breath was like an orchid on Chu Xiu's face, as if there was still some aroma of flower tea: "Since my sister accepted this thing, my errand was also done, so I went back to report to the second master." After saying that, he had already done his salute, and walked out of Zhiyanxuan in small steps all the way.
Seeing Yueju walking away, Izuku sighed helplessly, and secretly thought that he would tell Yun Ci about this matter another day. Such a valuable gift must not be accepted casually. Thinking like this, he only put away the brocade box and did not open it.
Izuku first went back to his residence and collected the brocade box sent by Yunqi properly. I didn't come back to live for seven or eight days, and a layer of faint floating ash fell in the house, and I thought that the shallow and light-hearted house should also be dusted, so I took the opportunity to tidy up the two people's residences.
As soon as the sprinkling was finished, I heard a greeting: "Out of Xiu!" It was a faint voice.
Out of Xiu hurriedly greeted him, only to see Danxin and Qianyun carrying their respective packages into the yard, Danxin smiled while walking: "Why are you sweating?" Don't wipe it yet! The master has gone to Qingxin Zhai, and he is still waiting for you to serve! ”
When Chu Xiu heard this, he didn't bother to greet the two, so he hurriedly fetched water to wash his face, changed his clothes, and hurriedly went to Qingxinzhai.
Zhuying was still guarding the door, and when he saw Izuku coming, he laughed in a low voice: "I haven't seen you for a few days, how is the girl?" ”
Izuku nodded in courtesy, stretched out his hand and pointed to the study, making an inquiring expression.
"The master is inside, girl, go quickly."
Out of Xiu in response.
is still dressed in white, still out of the dust, that shallow temperament does not eat the fireworks of the world, almost let Xiu forget the rich identity of the person in front of him, always think that the immortal who came from fell into the mortal dust.
Yun Ci still cleared a lot, but he didn't get tired on his face. Izuku stopped at the door and looked at him fixedly, feeling the tip of his nose sour for a while, and wanted to cry.
At this moment, Yun Ci raised his head from the bookcase, and saw Chuxiu standing at the door, wearing a light green shirt. The sun formed a dense aura behind her, making her whole person look refined and vivid, like a delicate flower bathed in the sun.
At this time, this scene, this person, can't help but evoke the thoughts and anxieties that Yun Ci has hidden in his heart for several days, rich and long.
"Why are you standing stupidly in the doorway?" Yun Ci smiled at the right time, watching intently as Izuku approached him.
Izuku was brought back to her senses by this voice, and suddenly she didn't dare to look directly at Yun Ci's gaze, she pursed her lips and lowered her eyes and walked into the door, feeling a little at a loss.
Only then did Yun Ci discover Xiu's slightly red eyes, and couldn't help but comfort him in a shallow voice: "When you see your master coming back, why don't you laugh and cry?" He beckoned to her and ordered, "Come and help me." ”
Chuxiu hurriedly sniffed and stepped forward to help Yunci. A faint medicinal fragrance came from him, making her feel extremely relieved in an instant.
Yun Ci stood up with the help of Xiu, suddenly looked at her, and said, "Today, my mother told me that when the epidemic is resolved, she wants me to get married." ”
Hearing this, Izuku was shocked, still drooping his eyes, and only smiled reluctantly. Mrs. Tai had inadvertently mentioned this news, and Chu Xiu understood that according to Yun Ci's identity and age, it was indeed time to get married. Thinking like this, not only is my heart sour, but my mind seems to be uncomfortable and groggy.
When Yun Ci said this, he kept staring at Izuxiu, and saw that she was not half surprised, and lowered her eyes with a smile, only to feel that the joy of seeing her again was a little diminished.
He squeezed her wrist with his hand and said in a low voice: "Izuxiu, this time I left for seven or eight days, and some things have been thought out clearly, I ...... you"
Before he finished speaking, Yun Ci suddenly felt that his hand sank, and a delicate body had fallen into his arms.
"Out of Xiu...... Come! Yun Ci's exclamation was filled with great concern. This was the last consciousness before Izuku fainted.
