Yefu.

Mrs. Shen sent Mu Qingling away, and immediately asked someone to call Xie Shi over, and briefly said what Mu Qingling told her, and Xie was dumbfounded when she heard it, and said: "According to my mother's words, back then, it was my father-in-law who made the decision, so that the Lu family could live in Beijing through the identity of my father-in-law's apprentice Lu Yushi?" ”

"After so many years, I couldn't have imagined that there could be a few Lu families in the capital?" Mrs. Shen sighed, "Lu Yushi is really a person, and he came to Yefu to visit me. It's just that after Lu Yushi passed away, their family had already moved to the countryside, and Lord Mu promised them to send silver over every year, so they promised Lord Mu to act in Beijing in the name of Lu Yushi. ”

"This ...... But this is not something worth hiding, if it is just to hide it from the Zhenguo Mansion, the father-in-law will not even hide it from you? Xie Shi asked puzzled, pulling his handkerchief.

"I don't think so." Mrs. Shen wrinkled her eyebrows and said, "I tested County Lord Mu, apart from that one thing, what else did your father-in-law do, Lord Mu vaguely diverted the topic, suggesting that I should not ask again." I'm afraid that this matter is very big, so big that your father-in-law and Lord Mu feel that hiding from the Ye Mansion is the best choice. In the capital nine years ago, what else could be a major event that could make him, who was still a master at the time, and Lord Mu unanimously choose to keep silent? ”

Xie Shi thought about it for a while, and instantly turned terried with fright.

Nine years ago, what else could be a big deal in the capital?

Isn't it the South Vietnam War and King Sheng's rebellion!

"Mother...... Mother, this, this matter is too big, our family was because of the soul case before...... Alas, what is it all about! Xie couldn't help but complain.

Mrs. Shen sighed and said with a solemn face: "Qiong'er is in danger this time, although it is a disaster, but she is also blessed because of it, not only with the county lord of Nanping and the daughter of the uncle's family of the kingdom, but also in front of the queen, the prince and even His Majesty, Your Majesty even praised Qiong'er with the word 'brave'. In the past few years, whether it is in the capital or in Jiangnan, we have been vigilant and keep our eyes open to find a good family for her. ”

"As for the Lu family, that's not something we can climb up to." Mrs. Shen finally said.

"Shaodan, that kid, it's really ......" Xie Shi couldn't help crying, and wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, "I don't know how he came over all these years." Mother, I won't hide it from you, Shaodan's child can be regarded as the one we grew up in Yefu, and I have always regarded him as half of my own child in my heart...... I see, Qiong'er also seems to have some affection for Shaodan, Shaodan too, the two of them, it's a pity......"

Mrs. Shen sighed again and muttered, "Why don't I feel pity......

…………

In the Qionghua Courtyard on the other side of Yefu.

Ye Qiong leaned lazily on the couch, listening to a few maids talking about the busy traffic in front of her house and the Lu family, eating the pastries cooked by Xie Shi herself, but her expression was always sad.

The most attentive Su Kite looked at Ye Qiong's face, beckoned the Liuying who was talking to stop, and whispered to Ye Qiong: "Girl, but we have quarreled with you, or do you feel uncomfortable in your body?" ”

Ye Qiong shook her head, several maids looked at each other, not knowing what to say, Ye Qiong saw them like this, but laughed: "What are you worried about, Doctor Sun said it's okay." Du Juan, have you heard the news from the Lu family, how is Shaodan's brother's injury? ”

"The people of the Lu family said that it was no big deal." Du Juan replied, "The door of the Lu family is closed now, and the door on the door still saw that I was from the Ye family, so they specially told me." It's just that to tell the truth, I haven't seen Lu Gongzi himself, and it's hard to say whether the Lu family's descendants are lying......"

Ye Qiong frowned, wanting to say something, but coughed a few more times, and a few maids were busy handing over water and medicine. Ye Qiong took a sip of water, but didn't speak, just looked at the open wooden window in a daze.

Seeing Ye Qiong looking at the wooden window, the warbler thought that Ye Qiong wanted to see the plum blossoms placed in front of the wooden window, so she brought it over, but saw that I don't know who was hanging a plum blossom with a silver thread on the wooden window, and just curiously wanted to untie it, so I heard Ye Qiong say: "Liuying, I want to smell the plum blossoms, you can bring it over." ”

Liuying responded, didn't care about the hanging flower branch, hugged Lamei and handed it to Ye Qiong, and said, "Speaking of which, there is still one more thing." Before lunch, Lu ...... Ah, it's time to talk about Lord Mu, she came to the mansion, talked to Mrs. Tai for a long time, and came to look at the girl again. It's just that at that time, the girl was asleep after taking the medicine, so Lord Mu said that he would not disturb the girl's sleep and left. ”

"Talking to my grandmother for a long time?" Ye Qiong asked rhetorically, and casually fiddled with the flowers in the vase, "This flower is blooming well, put it on the table in my study." ”

As she spoke, a little maid came with the medicine, Su Yuan took it with her own hands, and served Ye Qiong to drink it, Ye Qiong drank the medicine in one gulp, yawned, and said, "Okay, you all stand down." I was tired, and slept two more hours. ”

A few maids took the tray and put down the curtain for Ye Qiong and retreated.

Ye Qiong closed her eyes and waited for a while, and sure enough, she heard a "dang" sound on the window, and hurriedly got out of bed and put on her clothes and came to the window, but saw that it was not Lu Shaodan who was standing by the window far away, but another branch she had seen before.

Bei Zhi arched his hand to her from a distance and said, "I've seen Miss Ye." Miss Ye, the young master of my family has ordered, he has been busy with the affairs of the Zhenguo Mansion recently, and he has not had time to see the girl for the time being, and I ask the girl to forgive me. ”

Ye Qiong frowned and asked directly, "How is your young master injured?" ”

"It's been half a ......" Bei Zhi was halfway through speaking, but was interrupted by Ye Qiong, Ye Qiong said: "Don't think about me being so deceived, what kind of person is the young master of your family, I know best, what he promised, he will definitely do it." The covenant of flowers and branches is something we have agreed a long time ago, if it weren't for the fact that he was so injured that he couldn't get out of bed, why wouldn't he come to see me? ”

Don't be speechless, just bow your head and don't speak.

This girl from the Ye family has indeed touched the young master's temperament thoroughly.

He told the young master about the flower branches hanging on Miss Ye's windowsill, and the young master only said at the time: "I am injured like this, how can I see her well." Don't tell her about my injury, just say I'm busy with the affairs of the Zhenguo Mansion. ”

Although he was anxious, he couldn't disobey Lu Shaodan's order, so he had to report it to Ye Qiong as it was, but he didn't expect Ye Qiong to directly see through his lies.

Seeing Beizhi's appearance, Ye Qiong was even more sure in her heart, so she simply lifted her skirt and climbed over the wooden window, and in Beizhi's shocked gaze, she said, "Let's go, take me to see your young master." He couldn't come, so I went to see him myself. ”

Bei Zhi rolled his eyes, thinking about what the magpie told him, and just wanted to say whether to move a ladder, Ye Qiong had already moved the small fish tank in front of the dog hole under the courtyard wall with great difficulty, and bent down to drill through the dog hole.

Bei Zhi's jaw dropped when he saw it, and he hurriedly climbed over the courtyard wall with light skills, and led Ye Qiong to the door of Lu Shaodan's room.

Bei Zhi didn't have the courage to reply, so he only dared to point out a direction to Ye Qiong, and Ye Qiong followed this direction and pushed open the door, and saw Lu Shaodan, who was lying on the couch, reading a stack of books by the pillow intently.

"Mother, I didn't ......" Lu Shaodan heard the footsteps very early, heard the slow pace of the comer, and thought it was his mother, but halfway through, he found that the footsteps were too chaotic, not like someone who had practiced martial arts like his mother, so he looked back and happened to be opposite to Ye Qiong, who was red-eyed.

"Ye, Ye Qiong, why are you ......" Lu Shaodan hurriedly wanted to get up, but was glared at by Ye Qiong viciously, and obediently fell back.

"Isn't it a wounded shoulder, why are you still lying on your stomach? What's wrong with your back? Ye Qiong sat on the edge of his bed, wanting to lift his clothes to take a look, but was grabbed by Lu Shaodan's wrist.

"Don't." Lu Shaodan blushed and said, "It's not a big deal, it's just that my mother was angry that I put you and your cousins in danger, so she just used family law." ”

Ye Qiong then remembered that she didn't look good at Lu Shaodan's injury, and her face was red, and when she heard Lu Shaodan say that Mu Jun took the initiative to do the family law, she couldn't help asking: "Why did you move the family law?" It's not serious, the last time your mother moved the family law, you didn't get out of bed for a whole month! There was already a cry in the words.

The last time Mu Jun took the initiative to do the family law, it was when Ye Qiong was ten years old, Lu Shaodan and Ye Jin took Ye Qiong to play in Zhuangzi, Ye Jin was the most naughty time for boys at that time, and they wanted to go to the tree to dig out bird eggs to play, Lu Shaodan persuaded him a few times but did not persuade him, so he stood under the tree and paid attention to Ye Jin's safety.

Ye Jin took out the bird's egg, and for a moment of pride, his foot slipped and fell from the tree, hurting his right hand, but fortunately it didn't hurt the bone and didn't hinder his writing, but he still left a scar. When Lord Mu heard the news, he was immediately angry and blamed Lu Shaodan for not protecting Ye Jin.

Lu Shaodan smiled indifferently and said, "What my mother said is right, I should be punished." Don't worry, my mother's subordinates are measured, and she is afraid that I have injuries on my body, which are not serious, just lie down. ”

Ye Qiong bit her lip and didn't speak, and only after a long time did she say: "How could so many people suddenly appear in the assassination that day, so that you were caught off guard by the preparations you had already prepared?" And the Zhenguo Mansion, when do you plan to go back? ”

Lu Shaodan sank his face and said, "On that day, it was me and the four princes who lost the calculation. The leader that day was a staff member beside King Sheng, named Shao Dong......"

"Shao Dong!" When Ye Qiong heard this name, her face changed instantly, and she shouted out in a lost voice.

The name Shao Dong was often mentioned together with Lu Shaodan's name in his previous life, because Shao Dong was Lu Shaodan's greatest contribution.

Four years after the previous life, Shao Dong took King Sheng to rebel against the party, occupied the entire Jizhou City, and used the people in the city as a threat to force His Majesty to abdicate, as long as he did not abdicate for a day, he would burn ten people a day.

The generals at that time were unwilling to listen to Shao Dong's mercy and insisted on attacking the city, and in the end what they got was a Jiaocheng.

By the time Zhu Yue, who was the commander of the Jinyi Guard at the time, led the Jinyi Guard to arrive, Jizhou City had become an adult's purgatory, there were weeping voices everywhere, and the tip of his nose was full of the rancid smell of scorched corpses, and Shao Dong was still hiding somewhere in the city and refused to show up.

beheaded the generals who insisted on attacking the city, Zhu Yue still couldn't think of how to lure out Shao Dong, and at this time, Lu Shaodan, who was still a deputy of a thousand households, offered a plan, suggesting that the suffering people in the city should stand on the city wall every day to insult King Sheng, so as to provoke Shao Dong who was hiding.

Sure enough, Shao Dong did such a tragic thing in order to rehabilitate King Sheng, and when he heard that the people all over the city were insulting King Sheng, it didn't take long for Shao Dong to take the initiative to show up, wanting to kill a person who scolded the most and fiercely, and was shot to death by Lu Shaodan, who had been prepared, with an arrow.

But in this life, Shao Dong appeared in the capital and appeared among the assassins who assassinated the prince.

Without Shaodong, will the scorched corpses in Jizhou City not reappear?

Thinking of the forty-five lives in the capital, Ye Qiong didn't know what to think.

Seeing that Ye Qiong suddenly changed her expression, and even reacted to Shao Dong's name, Lu Shaodan couldn't help but wonder again.

Ye Qiong, how do you know Shao Dong? Also, why did Ye Qiong suddenly learn to make water?

Lu Shaodan didn't want to think about it anymore, and answered Ye Qiong's other question: "Zhenguo Mansion, I'm going back." But not now, I'm going to Jiangnan to bring back my father's bones first. ”

"This is right, and it is also your filial piety, and the Zhenguo Mansion can't make a mistake." Ye Qiong's tone became happy, "You're also going to Jiangnan?" When are you going to go? ”

"Wait until the Zhenguo Mansion is arranged, and after I have recovered from my injuries." Lu Shaodan said, with a smile on his face, "It's just that I probably can't catch up with you." ”

"Who wants you along?" Ye Qiong said with a smile, her eyes brightened, "By the way, Hua Jieyu is still with you, right, hand her over to me in a few days, and I'll take her to Jiangnan with me." ”

"What are you going to take her for?" Lu Shaodan asked curiously, with some grievances in his tone.

"What do you think?" Ye Qiong said with a smile, "There are few people in Jiangnan who know her, I want to see if I can find a suitable livelihood for her there, not to mention, the business of my ready-to-wear shop in the capital has been handed over to my sister, and there is still a shortage of manpower in Jiangnan." ”

Lu Shaodan said "oh", Ye Qiong leaned down and whispered to him in Lu Shaodan's ear: "Anyway, since I arrived earlier, I will wait for you in Jiangnan, you must come to me." ”

Lu Shaodan's heart suddenly relaxed, and there was an indescribable itch, and he said with a smile: "Okay, you wait for me to come." ”

…………

On the other side, a quaint carriage drove on an official road to the south of the capital, and the little guy who drove the car drove the horse, crying bitterly in his heart, but he couldn't help shouting to the carriage: "Childe, we really don't say a word to our family, just go to Jiangnan?" ”

"What do you tell them to do so that they can prepare in advance and lock me in the house?" In the carriage, Zhang Jingzhi lifted the curtain boredly and looked at the scenery speeding by outside the window, "Senior sister and master have both gone to Jiangnan, what's the point of me staying in the capital, it's better to go together." ”

The little guy couldn't help but retort: "But, Childe, Ye Fu and Mr. Zou haven't set off yet, what are we doing so early?" ”

"Stupid!" Zhang Jingzhi stretched out his hand from the car and knocked the little guy on the head with the folding fan in his hand, "This is called a surprise!" What kind of surprise would it be if you went with them? ”

"Childe has a point." The little guy patted his ass, still worried in his heart, and asked, "But Childe, when we go to Jiangnan, who are we going to take refuge in?" ”

"You forgot, I have a cousin who married into the Xie family in Jiangnan." Zhang Jingzhi said, "My senior sister's mother is from the Xie family in Jiangnan, and my senior sister will definitely visit, so we just live there." As for the letter to my cousin, I have already had it delivered early in the morning, and I guess the hour, and my cousin must have received it before we arrived. ”

The little guy finally put his mind at ease and said with a smile: "Childe is really smart!" Sit down, there is still a long way to go to Jiangnan. ”

Zhang Jingzhi said "um", got back into the carriage, and casually opened a book of poems from Ye Qiong, and opened it, it was a sentence "Everyone says that Jiangnan is good, and tourists are only old in Jiangnan".

Zhang Jingzhi couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and muttered: "Jiangnan, ......"
