Chapter 67, Situ
After making a table of food, the last person didn't eat it, and Daisy watched the food on the table gradually become cold, and her heart suddenly became sad. Since coming to the capital, these sisters have always gathered less and left more, obviously in the same capital, but there is no moment as comfortable and happy as Jiangnan, everyone sits around and drinks together, catches fish and picks lotus. Now, everyone has changed. Miss Qin has made new friends, and she rarely walks around with her; The girl didn't know what to do all day, and she rarely had a good word with the girl; There is also a girl, she used to love to laugh in Jiangnan, but now her brows are furrowed deeper and deeper, and her body is getting weaker and weaker. and Mrs. Zhang......
These days, she has been very scared, what Chu Luan is doing is too dangerous, she has made many enemies in less than a year after coming to the capital, and she is afraid that one day the girl will leave her like Mrs. Zhang. Daisy didn't dare to think about it, and ran to find Chu Luan with tears in her eyes.
At this time, Chu Luan finally found the jade pendant under the box containing miscellaneous items, which had been washed, but it was still a little dirty. It seems that I can only take it to the jade shop to see.
She carefully put the jade pendant on the wooden box, ready to look at the jade shop that had helped her restore the glass bracelet before.
"Girl!" Daisy ran in crying, her little face flushed, her speech with a trill, and she looked very aggrieved.
Chu Luan couldn't care too much at the moment, so he directly wiped her tears with his sleeve and asked with concern: "Why are you crying?" But did those subordinates in the house bully you? Chu Luan thought, if this is the case, he will not go out today, and teach those people in the house the rules well.
"Girl, shall we go back to Jiangnan?" Daisy was extremely aggrieved, almost begging to go back to Jiangnan with Chu Luan.
Chu Luan was stunned, seemed to be surprised, and seemed to be helpless, with a bitter smile on her face, it turned out that she was not the only one who missed the quiet hometown, but it was too late. The shackles on her body are getting heavier and heavier, and she can't break free anymore.
Seeing that Chu Luan didn't react, Daisy grabbed Chu Luan's sleeve a little anxiously, crying and telling her thoughts, "Girl, I don't want to stay in the capital, I want to go back to Jiangnan." Since coming to the capital, everything has changed. Miss Qin, National Teacher, Zhixia, Xiuniang, and you, girl, you haven't really laughed happily for a long time, and you've been crying lately. I'm so scared, girl, let's go back to Jiangnan, let's live like before. ”
Chu Luan knew what Daisy was afraid of, and every time she was idle, she was also thinking that if she stayed in the capital for a longer time, then even if she returned to Jiangnan, would she not be able to go back to the time of the year. However, people will always change, and it is the most terrible thing not to change, she hugged Daisy into her arms, patted her on the back like a sister and comforted her, "Daisy, we will go back, but not now." ”
"Girl......" Daisy wanted to say something, but Chu Luan took the first step to put the tip of his index finger against her lips, and whispered to coax: "I've been too busy lately, wait a while, I'll finish handling the things at hand, I'll accompany you and Zhixia, and Luoyin, let's go to the capital for a good visit, how about it?" ”
Daisy loves to play, but now she shook her head violently and struggled in Chu Luan's arms, "I don't want it, I don't, girl, let's go back, okay?" ”
Chu Luan's injuries have not healed yet, he was still a little dizzy after suffering from the wind and cold yesterday, he can't hear Daisy's unreasonable trouble, and he has no intention of speaking with a little impatient anger, "Daisy, the great cause has not been accomplished, and the great revenge has not been avenged, how can I go back at this time?" ”
Looking at Chu Luan's current appearance, paranoid and gloomy, Daisy only felt strange.
"I finally got a clue, give up at this time, everything I did before was in vain!" She grabbed Daisy's arms and persuaded, "There is no turning back from the bow, I will never stop now." ”
"But the girl ......"
"Daisy, if you still treat me as your girl, don't say such things again."
Daisy was stunned for a moment, then collapsed to the ground, Chu Luan helped her up, without saying a word, turned around and found a valuable eight-treasure hairpin from his jewelry box and handed it to Daisy, slowing down his tone, "Daisy, if you think it's too boring to stay in the house, I can give you some monthly silver and let you go out to buy some beautiful jewelry and dresses." She seemed to be a little tired, "Daisy, Zhixia is the person arranged for me by the teacher, Xiuniang is the person who approaches me with a purpose, and only you are the one I personally brought back." You're not going to live up to my trust like they do, are you? Chu Luan has been hit recently, and her mood has become different, but she doesn't notice it at all.
Daisy remembers Chu Luan's kindness, she has been an orphan since she was a child, fled to the south of the Yangtze River, met a girl in Moling, she saw that she was lonely, so she asked herself to be a personal maid, so many years she has always had a preference for her, this kindness, toothless and unforgettable, she made an oath to Chu Luan on the spot: "Girl, no matter what happens, Daisy will follow you in this life." In the end, she did what she promised.
After appeasing the daisy, Chu Luan had free time, drank the medicine and went out to the most famous jade shop in the capital.
When she took the jade pendant to the shopkeeper, she saw the other party hold the jade pendant up and look at it for a long time, "This piece of jade ...... Some of them come from the beginning. ”
"The texture is cold and silky, and it should be the best mutton fat jade."
After hearing this, Chu Luan took out a silver ingot from his purse and said with a smile, "Then the shopkeeper knows who has such a jade pendant?" ”
The shopkeeper checked the weight of the ingot of silver, smiled with satisfaction, and said flatteringly, "This jade carving is a double fish playing in the water, as far as I know, the son of the general minister's family pursues integrity, and the carving should be Meilan bamboo chrysanthemum, and the nobles in the palace are mostly carved dragon and phoenix things, and some like moire, and the king of Yongning today is using moire." The pattern of this piece ...... It should be something from the past. ”
"Yo, there's still a word." The shopkeeper rubbed the lines of the two koi fish on the jade pendant, "Si, apprentice? ”
——
It began to rain again, there was a dull atmosphere in the air, the street was deserted, and Chu Luan was waiting at the gate of the Houfu in the north of the town with an oil-paper umbrella.
Not long after, a sixty-year-old man accompanied a young man out to greet him.
I haven't seen him for half a year, Chu Ling has changed his appearance again, he is a little taller than Chu Luan, and his appearance has gradually gotten rid of immaturity, wearing a dark blue robe, which sets off his elegance and stability.
"Sister......" Chu Ling's voice sounded weird.
Chu Luan looked at him with some confusion, and just wanted to ask if he was also infected with the wind cold, but when he saw a young man who was taller than her, his face turned red instantly, and his whole head seemed to be steaming.
She suddenly reacted to what was going on, and teased with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a long time, and my little brother has grown into a man." ”
Chu Ling's face burned badly, and his expression was awkward, and he didn't want to talk to Chu Luan.
But Du Bo also joked with a smile: "Girl, don't you know, when the little boy just changed his voice a few days ago, he put on a stinky face all day long, and he didn't pay attention to anyone's words." As he spoke, he imitated Chu Ling.
"Duber." Chu Ling was a little annoyed and angry, and hurriedly changed the topic, "Sister came back today to find her father?" ”
"No, I'm here for you today." Chu Luan knew that Chu Xu and Chu Liang had not yet gone down to court, so she deliberately chose this time to come.
Chu Luan: "You also know that my relationship with my eldest brother has always been lukewarm, and there are some things I said that he may not agree. But you're different, you're his brother, and as long as you're willing to come forward, I think he'll help. ”
Chu Ling: "Then what do you want me to help you?" ”
Chu Luan handed him a white and blue jade pendant, which had been repaired by the shopkeeper and was now spotless, with two obvious words engraved on the belly of the two koi fish - "Situ".
"I want to find all the records of the previous dynasty about the surname Situ."
Chu Ling was puzzled, even if people from the previous dynasty mentioned it, it was taboo, let alone find the files of the previous dynasty.
"Why did Sister suddenly want to check on the people of the previous dynasty?"
Chu Luan didn't give an explanation, just let him do it, if it was really difficult, there was no need to force it.
"Selling pear paste, pear paste-" A turbid and strong shout sounded, and Chu Luan followed the prestige, but there was no trace of the candy seller.
Du Bo on the side saw what was on her mind, and he was right, although Chu Luan always pretended to be young and old, but after all, she was still a girl, how could a woman not like to eat these sweets.
"If the girl wants to eat the old slave, go and buy it."
"Is there a pear paste that sells in the capital?" Chu Luan asked suddenly.
Du Bo 1510 replied, "Originally, there was none, but I heard that the man had a cousin who was from Jiangnan, so he learned this craft." ”
"Sister has ever eaten pear paste in Jiangnan before, what does it taste like?"
"It's just a greasy taste."
She said so, but her eyes followed the shouting, like a child who can't eat candy desperately wants it and no one buys it for her.
After the shouting gradually faded away and could no longer be heard, Chu Luan left in the opposite direction.
Watching her figure gradually fade away, Chu Ling saw from that back that it was even more desolate and lonely than before. He couldn't help but think about it, as if he hadn't seen Sister A's face since they met. There is always a sorrow in her that others can't see.
(The author has something to say: By the way, I found out before that I didn't explain the follow-up of the fake Chu Luan, what about her, because she pretended to be the county lord, she was imprisoned and given wine, and then the old lady of Guogong took Xiuniang back to Guogong's mansion, and then she was sick in bed.) )
