Episode 18: I don't know where to go, peony is still 2

Zhulin, who first arrived at Jiang's family, was so cold that he made people retreat. Although he slept with him day and night, he never spoke.

Well, yes, the first time he opened his mouth was, saying, "Jiang Ziyan, you don't have a long brain." It almost came out with a roar, after he kept chattering around him, and then fell from the corridor into the pond and was caught ashore by him. That time, I miraculously didn't feel cold, but he was punished by his grandfather for kneeling in the yard all night, and the next day he had a high fever and was unconscious.

"Ji--!" Another strange sound pulled back the young man's distant thoughts.

He knew that Zhulin was brought back by his grandfather to be his scapegoat, because since Zhulin stepped into the house, he had never been ill. Even if he went to the yard to play with the snow all afternoon, in the end, Zhulin, who was too thin, fell ill, not himself.

Therefore, after Zhulin's death, there are always strange things around him.

The ubiquitous strange sound was simple. A large area of orchid suddenly died in the flower garden in the yard. Wadang fell from the top of the attic and rubbed his back into four petals. Blood stains inexplicably appeared under the bed... The young man knew that these must be evil spirits. They saw that Zhulin was gone and tried every means to take their own lives.

"Zhulin, Zhulin, if we just wipe our shoulders in the crowd, you won't die, but I will not find you again. You and I can't do anything about the creation of the previous life and the evil fate of this life."

The young man was relieved and picked up the lamp and went back to his room to rest.

The maidservant served him to untie his clothes, and finally took off the hair crown for him and wrapped it in red cloth and put it on the pillow.

Since Zhulin's death, he has dismissed all his concubines. Before and the two of them, his sons are very healthy, which is worthy of his ancestors. In the future, he will no longer want to be close to women. Perhaps it can also be said that he wants to keep a festival for Zhulin.

How ridiculous it is for a man to keep the festival, but he doesn't mind. He and Zhulin were born on the same day and were destined to come together. Before Zhulin's death, he was tired of his family and could not be loyal. After Zhulin's death, he had to make up for the rest of his life.

This is probably the only thing he can do for Zhulin.

The autumn is getting stronger, and it is time to pay tribute to the north. Only at this time every year will the people in the capital realize the existence of the alliance of Linchuan. Remember that Daji also has to bow down to the regime in the north, because the whole city is spreading low and will not be dispersed.

The left and right Shence Army was transferred to the Chengnan Post Hall to protect the Beixiao envoy and the tribute sent every day - the bags of rice and silk were loaded into the carriage under the guidance of the Beixiao envoy, and began to leave their hometown with no return.

Han Ruqi, who has got an errand, has less time to wander around and patrols. He no longer has the opportunity to wander outside the Yuezhai Gate. He is also happy and angry. He is happy that he doesn't have to worry. He has enough excuses not to take the initiative to open his mouth. If that guy has made a name during this period, isn't he a failure?

There are many of those bodyguards of the Shence Army who are familiar with him. They know that they always liked to run to Yongning Square some time ago. They didn't know the truth. They also said that he was pursuing the yellow flower daughter of that family. Now he is not free. They are afraid that their lover will change their mind and marry others. That's why they frowned every day, so they have to comfort him and say some compliments. Hearing this, Han Ruxu's eyes appeared, and it was hard to say no. It was not uncomfortable to grin.

The tribute this time is a little different from previous years. In the letter brought by the Northern Xiao envoy to the King of Northern Xiao, it seems to say that the Central Plains Emperor got a treasure from the Southern Yu period. The Northern Xiao King likes it very much. He wants the Central Plains Emperor to bear the pain and take it away with the tribute. Han Ruxu was recovering from his wounds at home in those days. He couldn't see the emperor's reaction with his own eyes, but he must have been furious. Finally, he sighed and had to agree.

No matter how prosperous and rich it is, Daji was defeated after all. Unless it can defeat Beixiao, it can only pay tribute every year and find a place to breathe. Under the exploitation of Beixiao, how much grain, gold and silver can be saved every year. In ten years, in 20 years or even longer, it is impossible to counterattack to the north.

Another car of Yunjin is on the road. Even after watching it for so many days, Han Ruxu is still heartbroken for the people in the south of the Yangtze River. The hard-working Yunjin has always been the cloth of the emperor's nobles to be used as crepe clothes, but it has to be sent out of the traffic jam for those enemies who broke their families and their dead wives.

The Han family is just a tenant in the village. Old parents may never see Yun Jin in their lives. Thinking of this, he feels even more ashamed.

I really couldn't stand it. Han Ruxu turned his head and wanted to find something else to divert his attention, but he didn't know when there was a white figure standing across the street, looking at the car Yunjin out of the city.

"Is it here for reconciliation?" He whispered to himself. He no longer insists that he has to apologize. As long as he takes the initiative to speak, he will forgive him.

As a result, he looked at the direction of the gate for a while, but did not look at it. He turned around the alley and went to Changmingfang in that posture. Han Ru was so angry that his hands holding the knife trembled.

After being angry alone for a while, I couldn't help asking myself - what's wrong with this? The man was originally a cold temperament. He was just a friend who quarreled with him, and the word "friend" was also said in his mouth. It's hard to say how he thought about it in his heart and how could he take the initiative to speak.

Besides, is it possible to be angry with such a person?

The name of quenching Si and Wei Tanyi above is the master and servant, but in fact it is not the case. At the beginning, they took his favor. At the moment, quenching is indeed grateful and respectful to him. These days have been familiar with each other for a long time, and sometimes they will make fun of him in turn. When Wei Tanyi is not in the store, they are like a boss's wife and also picky on the guests. I picked it up.

It's like saying that people often come to the store to entertain a snuff bottle. Most of them have senior officials or waistbands. These people are the money trees of Yuezhai. Wei Tanyi coaxes them, and she also has to coax them. However, whenever they come to the door, they will come forward with a smile, serve good tea, and timely introduce the new goods in the store. The other party will be happy. I will buy it.

But if it is an idle guest who comes, walking around the store, talking endlessly, and it is clear that she is coming to see people, then she will give two kinds of faces. If she likes it, she will still serve tea. Just like Han Ruxu in the past, who didn't like it, just sat on the chair and manicure her nails and ignored it. That's exactly what she did.

Le Qi was empty today. The shopkeeper was not here, and the little girl in the store ignored him. Not to mention tea, she couldn't even drink a sip of cold water. He knew that he hated the thing that was sealed by him in the painting last time, and it was not easy to say, but he waited and waited, but Wei Tanyi never came back, and Le Qi finally couldn't help it.

"Miss Si, when will Mr. Wei come back?"

"Who knows? I can't figure out what the master is thinking."

Even if she didn't like him, she didn't dare to provoke him, so she just said indifferently.

Le Qi got up and looked outside the door several times. He thought that he was afraid that things would not work. He was about to say goodbye to quenching. Suddenly, he patted people on the shoulder. Looking back, Wei Tanyi appeared silently by the door.
