Chapter 37: Quail Run 3
Yang Xuanqing privately warned Pharmacist Li that Li Yuan was extremely angry about the matter of leaving Xiu, and he did not hesitate to break with the Yang Mansion, and he would not give up easily.
At this time, she was still a female actor dismissed by the Yue Guo Mansion.
With Li Yuan's official power, if he wants to rob and rob by force, Li Yaoshi may only have to call in vain.
At this time, Pharmacist Li began to admire Yang Su's skills in handling this matter.
No matter how Li Yuan forced him, Yang Su could ask questions and ignore everything, and completely blame the matter on Mrs. Yue Guo.
Mrs. Yue Guo and Queen Dugu have a very personal relationship, and both "take the husband as the woman's virtue and the ability to be jealous as the female worker".
The crown prince Yang Yong has a lot of internal favors, and Queen Dugu is extremely dissatisfied, how can she approve of her nephew taking concubines? If this matter is transmitted to the inner court, Queen Dugu will never face Li Yuan, and Yang Su is only afraid that she can still ask for a bad reputation for women in front of the emperor and empress.
Not only that, Yang Su's "one question and three don't know" also left a way out for Pharmacist Li.
Since Yang Su didn't know anything about this, why did Pharmacist Li have to know where he went? At this time, Mrs. Han's death was approaching, and Pharmacist Li took out Xiu and returned to his hometown with his sister-in-law, third brother, and sister-in-law.
After the sacrifice, Izuku stayed in Sanyuan and did not return to Beijing with his uncle and sister-in-law.
Li Yuan happened to pass through Chang'an because of the transfer of official positions, and he was not allowed to stay in Beijing according to the law.
Pharmacist Li only said that Li Yuan couldn't find Xiu in Chang'an, so he would have to give up.
When his father returned to Beijing, he and Zhu Xiu became a big gift, and he was no longer afraid of Li Yuan.
However, Li Yuan, who was only thirty years old at the time, had a strong blood, and was a high-ranking official since childhood, pampered and pampered, and loved by his aunt Queen Dugu, how could he have been wronged? Out of Xiufang's heart for Pharmacist Li, let him fall behind, Li Yuan couldn't bear it.
He was frustrated in proposing marriage to Yang's mansion, but Pharmacist Li agreed to propose marriage, which made Li Yuan unbearable.
What's more, a few years ago, in order to get out of Xiu, Pharmacist Li actually bumped into him in front of him in the Tang State Mansion, how could Li Yuan swallow this breath?
So this time, Li Yuan was hard-hearted, and he had to swear not to rest.
Although he himself took his wife and children west out of Chang'an and marched towards Longxi, he left a group of cronies to find out Xiu's whereabouts.
When Pharmacist Li heard the news, he couldn't rest assured, and rode straight out of the north gate alone, galloped to Sanyuan, covered a black canopy mule cart, and took the exo to the east.
Fortunately, at this time, Pharmacist Li served in the driving department, and in this autumn and winter, official duties were relatively idle; If he is still the Gongcao of Chang'an County and is bound to his duties, he will not be able to take Xiu out of the air.
Now the two of them only want to defect to Zhao County, and when their father is in charge, it has become a great gift, and Li Yuan can't think about it.
Why didn't Li Yuan know that the time was urgent? He sent three men and horses in a row to pursue Chuxiu in all directions.
From Sanyuan to Zhao County, Tongguan Avenue is to go east along Weishui, cross the Yellow River, go east out of Luoyang and Zhengzhou, turn to the north, and go straight to Zhao County.
However, along the way, there must be Li Yuan's men and horses, but I am afraid that I will not be able to get through.
The other road is to cross the Yellow River and enter Taiyuan first, and then change to an ancient road that crosses the Taihang Mountain, and you can go straight to Zhao County.
This is an ancient road built in the Han Dynasty, which has been abandoned for a long time and is little known at the time.
During his father's trip to Zhao County, Pharmacist Li hunted here and learned that there was this ancient road in the local area.
He speculated that Li Yuan's pursuers would not know about the ancient Han Dynasty road, so after crossing the Yellow River, he turned north with his exuberance.
However, she has been pregnant for more than seven months, how can she hurry? After crossing the river, she traveled north to Jiangzhou, and she was overwhelmed.
Pharmacist Li asked Chihua to slow down and drive slowly on the black-canopy mule cart.
Reluctantly traveled to Linfen, and the blood did not stop.
Pharmacist Li really couldn't, so he had to pause.
He didn't dare to enter Linfen City, so he came to a mountain village along the country road, found a farmhouse that looked relatively solid, and went to the door to ask for accommodation.
This farmer is very kind-hearted, and when they saw the situation of Xiu, they all volunteered to help from the old lady to the bride.
Some change clothes, some make beds, some wash...... At the same time, there is a lot of gossip.
Some of them are extremely meticulous and elegant, and some of them blame Pharmacist Li for not rushing desperately.
When Pharmacist Li saw Xiu again, she had changed into a clean peasant woman's clothes, covered a large coarse cloth quilt, and lay down on a thatched couch to rest.
When she saw Pharmacist Li enter the room, she wanted to sit up.
Pharmacist Li lightly lifted Chuxiu up slightly, let her recline on the couch, and then held her hands and watched her complexion.
But seeing that she looked extremely tired, her face was bloodless.
Pharmacist Li was anxious and pitiful in his heart.
Izumi was a little shy by him, and reluctantly smiled, and said, "I don't know how I am now?" ”
The voice is weak.
Pharmacist Li took out the Xuanyuan Ancient Mirror given by Xu Hongke, handed it to Zhuxiu, and said with a smile: "I don't know what Concubine Xiang and Luo Shen looked like when they were waiting to give birth?" ”
When I heard him say this, I knew that something was wrong, so I hurriedly took a self-portrait in the mirror.
But in the mirror, I saw a young village woman with her hair in a messy bun and her face pale.
Out of Xiu was shocked, struggling to reorganize Chan's sideburns, but after all, he couldn't lift his strength, so he had to sigh lightly and slowly close his eyes.
Pharmacist Li gently lowered her hair bun for Xiu, found the grate, and cut her hair.
Chuxiu's hair was long above her knees, black and shiny, and Pharmacist Li loosely tied it up for her and hung it down behind her head.
When I looked in the mirror again, I saw Qingsiman hanging his shoulders, although he was not as neatly combed as himself, but he had a unique elegant charm.
She was so satisfied that even her smile flushed with a hint of ruddy.
At this moment, the old peasant woman came in with a bowl of soup and medicine.
Pharmacist Li quickly stood up and saluted the old woman again and thanked her.
The old woman handed the decoction to Pharmacist Li and said, "When we country women have bodies, we all use this earthwork to make up for the fetus. I can't find a doctor right now, so I'll just give your daughter-in-law this bowl of medicine first! ”
When Xiu heard her say "your daughter-in-law", she blushed at the moment.
Pharmacist Li thanked him: "There is Granny Lao!" ”
Immediately took the decoction, helped Chuxiu, and fed her one bite at a time.
The old woman said again: "Son, looking at your daughter-in-law's appearance in this life, you can't continue to hurry." Our rural people, although everything is not thoughtful, there is no shortage of houses. Why don't you two stay with us, wait for your son, and then leave after the confinement, what do you think? ”
She is old and sophisticated, and when she saw Xiu's belly and abdomen, she already knew that it was a male fetus.
Pharmacist Li hesitated and said, "Mother-in-law, let's not hide it, we are in a hurry to go, but I am afraid that someone will chase after us." If you stay in your mansion and let someone catch up, I am afraid that it will cause trouble to the mansion. ”
The old woman smiled and said, "If it weren't for someone chasing after you, how could you take your daughter-in-law with a body and go so eagerly?" Didn't someone come to take a fancy to your daughter-in-law and want to snatch her away? ”
