Chapter 106: Mole
On the second day of the second month of February, the weather was gloomy, Zhou Yi and others arrived at the boundary of Baihe Mountain, and on the way they heard the news of the death of his master, and they couldn't stop crying.
In the afternoon of the same day, he arrived at Baihe Mountain, and without reporting to his parents in time, he came to the grave of Shiya under the guidance of Daotong. At that time, it was raining lightly, and the mountains were extremely cold, and Zhou Yi knelt silently in front of the tombstone of Shiya, but his eyes were already red.
The Taoist boys sent an umbrella over, shouted Zhou Yi twice and didn't see him respond, and was about to go over to hold an umbrella for him to cover the rain, Sima Chun stopped him, shook his head and signaled that he didn't have to bother, and the Taoist boy went down.
The spring rain is overcast, which is particularly disturbing. Zhou Yu heard the report that Zhou Yi was back, and the anger in his heart suddenly burned, and after more than 20 days, he was still annoyed that Shiya couldn't see Zhou Yi's last face, and he went out angrily. The Taoist children were careful, fearing that Zhou Ying would reprimand Zhou Yi, so three or two people went to inform Tian Yong and Yufu and others.
In this way, everyone was so shocked that everyone knew the news of Zhou Yi's return, and they all gathered in front of the Shiya grave without a single cup of tea.
At that time, Zhou Yi and Sima Chun knelt side by side, and Murong Xue stood behind, such a bleak scene was sad, and Zhou Ying was so angry that he was silently melted away at this time. Zhou Yi slowly lowered his head, his shoulders kept twitching, and the sadness came from it, and everyone was shocked.
==***==
Since that day, the two Zhou Yi brothers have been guarding the tomb of the cliff for seven days one after another. During the period, except for some tea, Zhou Yi's rice grain was not entered, and Sima Chun was the same. If it weren't for the two of them practicing martial arts, I am afraid that they would have fallen ill by this time, even so, on the seventh day, the two of them had pale faces and haggard faces.
Zhou Yi once said to Sima Chun: "I have a great guilt for Master Tai in my heart, and I should do to guard him for seven days." It is enough for my brother to be able to fulfill the courtesy of his juniors, and he does not have to accompany me to complete these seven days. ”
Sima Chun said: "You and I are brothers, and neither of them have been able to fulfill their filial piety during the old man's lifetime. He lowered his eyebrows and sighed, remembering that when he first came to Baihe Mountain a few months ago, he was treated as Zhou Yi by Zhou Shiya, this love of ancestors and grandchildren is really emotional, and he kept a few days of mourning with the gift of his grandchildren, which can be regarded as a slight expression of awe, "When I came to Baihe Mountain to report the news, my stepmother and they all said that I looked very similar to you, and I saw Master Tai at that time." He treats me as you and is very kind to me, so you don't have to blame yourself too much, Master Tai can be regarded as having seen you. ”
Zhou Yi bowed his head and said nothing, tears kept rolling in his eyes. During the seven days, Murong Xue, Yun'er, Zhong Yu and others often came to visit, and it was not until the last day that the brothers and sisters returned together.
At noon, someone suddenly went up the mountain and reported to Zhou Tianyong, saying that the eunuch sent by the imperial court to posthumously give Zhou Shiya the title would come to the bottom of the mountain an hour later, and specially invited Tianyong to lead the crowd down the mountain to greet him. Zhou Tianyong is a person who is tired of fame, and his brother was also suppressed many times by the likes of official eunuchs when he was alive, and now that he is dead, he naturally does not want to accept these false names. So he didn't get out of his illness, so he only ordered Zhou Ying and other disciples to wait at the bottom of the mountain.
This time, it was not Qu Rong, the chief manager of the emperor's side, but a eunuch who secretly worked for the East Palace, which made Zhou Yu puzzled, and immediately bowed to the holy decree and asked him and the guards to go to the mountain to catch the wind. The Son of Heaven enshrined Zhou Shiya as a township marquis, and he was called a township person. Zhou Tianyong thanked the emperor in his brother's mourning hall, although the official was embarrassed, but he did not have half a sense of resentment, but at the invitation of Zhou Yu, he had a banquet in the main hall that night.
In the evening, everyone had already arrived, but only Zhou Yi was missing. And Guan Rang claimed that he had long heard of his young name, and he was the only person in this world who had experienced life and death, so he asked for one. Zhou Yu had no excuse and was about to send someone to find him, Zhong Yu couldn't get used to the eunuch's coy appearance, so he had already wanted to come out to breathe, so he asked for an order to come to his courtyard to find him.
At that time, Zhou Yi was writing a letter in the room, because there were many things recently, Hongyuan was instructed by him to work elsewhere, so he worked alone. When it was dark, the letter was ready, and remembering that it was too dark for anything to do, he thought of putting it away and bringing it to him for delivery the day after tomorrow. However, when sorting out the old letters, he inadvertently turned out a wooden box with sandalwood red lacquer and a lock on it, which was the bookbox where he and Yu Xi exchanged letters when they were children.
Zhou Yi saw things and thought about people, and couldn't help but think of the mystery that he had been looking forward to day and night when he had never met her. Yousi, who was very emotional about his childhood, found the key and took out those old letters to taste them one by one.
Suddenly, a few small footsteps outside the door lingered, as if someone was there.
"Who?"
I saw a woman in pink clothes enter the door, slowly bowed her head, very cautious, and knelt down not far from Zhou Yi's side, "Magpie greets Childe......"
Zhou Yi was taken aback, and immediately felt uncomfortable, and stood up out of his vigilant nature, and asked awe-inspiringly, "It's a big night, why are you here?"
"The magpie knows that he is guilty, and he is here...... I'm here to apologize to my son!"
Zhou Yi looked at her coldly, thinking of those things in Kanto, his heart was like swallowing a thorny scale, and he was uncomfortable up and down, "I don't want to hear about this again, and I won't hold you accountable for what you did in the first place, tomorrow you go to Miss Yun to get some silver and leave Baihe Mountain!"
"Childe ......"
She was just about to raise her head and beg, Zhou Yi turned around and prepared for it, and a cold sentence blocked her back, "You are not welcome in Baihe Mountain, you don't belong here in the first place, it's useless to talk more, go out!"
"Childe doesn't care about the admiration of your magpie?" the magpie wept and begged bitterly, "The magpie's life was saved by Childe, and I only respect and admire Childe...... It was my wishful thinking that almost ruined Childe's reputation...... Fortunately, it didn't make a big mistake, things have already turned around, and I ask Gongzi to atone for his sins, and the magpie will do his best to repay Gongzi in the future!"
"A good thing has already been whirled," Zhou Yi's anger in his heart burned his brows again, and he turned around and asked coldly: "If you hadn't done that kind of foolish thing, why would Miss Yu and I have been in such a trouble! If you have fun, leave here now, otherwise, I can only let someone send you out!"
When the magpie heard this, his heart was like pouring a basin of ice water, and he thought that all his thoughts had been disillusioned, and if he wanted to force him to stay, it would be boring to ask for himself. But when she looked down and thought about it, Zhou Yi was angry with her, all because of what she did at the beginning, and she offended Yu Xi. She is so intended, once she has no way out, she will never let the person who cut off her way out of her life be better, Yu Xi has become a great enemy in her heart. However, vicious people have always been good at attacking the heart, so they said to Zhou Yi: "The master is still in mourning, the magpie has been worshipping for him for more than a month, and the Taoist Qiqi is true, begging the prince to let me worship for the master for forty-nine days, and then leave, okay?" After speaking, he bowed to the ground and bowed.
Speaking of which, what else could Zhou Yi do, she had to agree to her, but there was one thing that she told her again and again, "From now on, you are not allowed to come in this courtyard for half a step! Master Tai, you don't have to go, just worship in your own room." If something happens again, don't blame me for not being merciful!"
The magpie bowed again, then bowed his head and walked out. Zhou Yi didn't care, he just said that he was upset, and he didn't want to read those letters anymore, so he put the letter that had been written in the bookcase and locked it in the bookcase. At that time, the magpie looked back from time to time and saw it very clearly, so he kept the matter in his heart.
As soon as she got out of the hospital, she happened to bump into Zhong Yu, Zhong Yu was very puzzled, seeing her coming out of Zhou Yi's courtyard at night, and describing her gaffe like this, she couldn't help but be suspicious. Lifting the lantern and looking at it carefully, there were still tears in the corners of her eyes, it was obvious that she had just cried, so she asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”
The magpie sobbed slightly, lowered his head, his eyebrows turned sharply, and he wanted to use Zhong Yu to poke this matter to the point she wanted, Zhong Yu and Yu Xi are not in harmony with everyone, Zhong Yu has been a daughter with Yufu since she became a daughter, and Zhou Yi's identity is not distinguished, no one is more suitable than her to be a chess piece to deal with Yu Xi. So he said in a mysterious way: "Girl, don't ask, the son is angry, if you don't get it right, it will kill me!"
"Could it be that he is grasping the Kanto matter again and blaming you?"
"If it's only about me, it's just that, I'm afraid that if I say it, my son will investigate it, but it will make discord between your brothers and sisters, then I will die and die!"
When Zhong Yu heard her say this, she couldn't let go of it, and ordered her: "If I ask you to say it, you can say it, and I will never tell you what happened." ”
She is naturally domineering, and when it comes to her personality and identity in Baihe Mountain, she and Yu Xi can be called old enemies, which is like a mirror in the magpie's heart, and at this point, she has taken the next step logically.
The magpie was embarrassed, struggled for a moment, gritted his teeth and said: "Well, I deserve it, if I say it, the girl can persuade the son, what fear of my death? She wiped her tears and said very sincerely, but this sentence had already made Zhong Yu very unhappy.
Zhong Yu frowned and interrupted her, "What? My brother's marriage with the girl of the Yu family? When did I tell you this?"
Magpie hurriedly explained: "Oh, the girl really didn't say that she was in person, but the rumors outside are not groundless, our son is the dragon among the people, and Miss Yu of Wuxiang Mountain is a match made in heaven, if it weren't for my original incident, now the marriage between the two families has been moved to the surface." ”
Zhong Yu was shocked, and it was true that he thought about it, not to mention anything else, just saying Zhou Yi's partiality to Yu Xi can explain all this. And Yu Xi is just a swaggering and pleasing daughter in her eyes, in the final analysis, she is not much better than herself, she respects Zhou Yi as a brother, she has no wrong thoughts, but when she thinks of respecting such a woman as a sister-in-law in the future, wouldn't it be dark!
Thinking of this, she felt that what the magpie did in Kanto prevented this matter in time, which was a delaying move for her. So he comforted the magpie and said: "You haven't done anything wrong, handsome men and beautiful women, who doesn't want to, do you have to wait for her Wuxiangshan to recruit my brother as a son-in-law?"
The magpie saw that she had been fooled, so he nodded and said bluntly, "The eldest prince must have been very tired after keeping the spirit of the master for seven days, and Hongyuan went to serve the little prince again, I thought that he would be upset when he came back in a mess, so I took advantage of the fact that no one came to clean up the room." But I didn't expect that I came back before I was busy with my son, I was scared, and I accidentally knocked over a bookcase in my son's room, and the anger in his heart had not been extinguished, and this incident made him reprimand me, saying that I was his broom star, and he wanted to drive me out of Baihe Mountain!"
Zhong Yu was suspicious, frowned, and said: "He's not such a stingy person, right, you have good intentions, can he not know?"
The magpie said: "That's the case, Childe is not angry, but I missed and knocked over something, panicked for a while, and broke a few pages of scattered letters, Childe moved the anger of thunder, and was about to do it on the spot, but he was Childe after all, and finally endured it." ”
"Do it?" Zhong Yu was taken aback, "What kind of letter can make him do it to you!"
"And that's what I dare not say to the girl," the magpie winced, as if frightened, "those ...... letters."
She wanted to speak and stopped, Zhong Yu naturally couldn't let it go, so she forcibly asked. The magpie was forced to helplessly, so he said hesitantly: "The letter is all the name of a person. ”
"Who?"
"Yu Xi!" the magpie looked at her expression, and then said: "It is said that the girl and Yu Xi have the most similar personalities, but the son only sees people from other families...... If I say it, it seems that I am begging the girl to stand up for me, the girl is upright by nature, and I can't see that she has grievances, but for the sake of the magpie's loyalty, don't look for the son's theory, otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to live!"
When Zhong Yu heard this, he held back a fire in his heart, pondered for a moment, and said to the magpie: "I can let you stay in Baihe Mountain, and you go and help me do something." ”
The magpie hurriedly wiped his tears and said with a smile: "As long as I can stay, I am willing to do anything!"
Zhong Yu said coldly: "Bring me all the letters he wrote to Yu Xi!"
The magpie was overjoyed, but on the surface he wanted to pretend to be panicked, so he knelt down and kowtowed and pleaded: "If the girl doesn't want me to die, just spare me, I don't want to provoke the son again." ”
"Hmph," Zhong Yu sneered, "What are you afraid of, I didn't let you go and grab it directly, when I had dinner later, I would like to find a way to get his key, you look at my eyes, take advantage of his inattention, you come over again, and you don't know it......"
The magpie had no choice but to pretend to reluctantly agree.
