Chapter 515: Cuihe
Yongcui Building, Zhu Gaosui, who had no time to do recently, finally came out and quietly hid in the closet following Chen Ying's advice.
For some reason, Lan Wanyun still lives in the Qinglou, and takes the maid for a walk in the backyard at night.
Chen Ying hid in the Yuehong room, pinched her sister's buttocks with her right hand, peeked at her every move along the window on the second floor, remembered the pill explained by King Zhao, and hurriedly sneaked into the Wanyun room, uncovered the tea lid, and let the small blue pill slowly melt in the teapot.
"Why haven't you come yet?" Zhu Gaosui couldn't help but ask.
"It's coming, it's coming." Chen Ying smiled, turned around lightly and slipped out.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I went out, I was greeted by a mallet. Bang! Chen Ying suddenly fell down softly. Soon Yuehong twisted her waist and walked over, sneering: "The above commands, throw him in the thatched house." The doors and windows are locked, and the earth dragon is burning, and no one is allowed to come in tonight. ”
Outside, Lan Wanyun had already sat in the carriage, and suddenly looked at the nurse who was sitting opposite, and the two of them immediately hugged and cried.
In the restaurant opposite, Mu Yun whispered to the back in front of him: "It's done, the five hundred guards of King Zhao's Mansion have been transferred to Gansu." ”
The silver moonlight sprinkled down, revealing half of Xu Hao's face, and snorted coldly: "This time it can be regarded as an unforgettable lesson for Zhu Gaosui, and next time Hugh blames me for burning with fire." ”
In the Huanggu Temple near Xiaojia Village, Lychee came to look for Gu Hongyun's master and servant whenever she was free, and Gu Hongyun lived in Xu Mansion for a few days, and she got along with Mu Qingshuang and others very closely.
But after all, it was inconvenient for the Xu family to live for a long time, Gu Hongyun counted the date, and returned to Huanggu Temple with Princess Baoqing, waiting for the day when her sweetheart was released.
On this day, there was a light snowfall, the temperature was not too low, Lychee jumped to the vicinity of the temple, and suddenly saw four palanquin men standing on the valley outside.
There is no shop in front of the village and behind the Huanggu Temple, and the sedan chair that has never picked up customers has stayed for a long time. The palanquin bearers who came to the incense had a special place to rest, and Lychee saw that these men were sneaky, and asked casually: "Hey! I'm going to sit in a sedan chair. ”
The palanquin man frowned and said, "Don't sit down, we're waiting to pick up Mrs." ”
Lychee asked again, "Where are you from?" ”
The palanquin man glanced at her, saw that she was coming from the front, and said casually: "It's the village behind." ”
"Oh!" Lychee smiled and walked forward, and when she was about to reach the temple gate, she looked back again and saw that the sedan chair drivers were still standing in the snow, secretly looking left and right from time to time. I was more and more puzzled.
After entering the Huanggu Temple and telling Gu Hongyun, Gu Hongyun lay on the wall along the ladder, and saw that those palanquin men were dressed as their own slaves, and her heart immediately became clear.
Gu Hongyun thought she couldn't hide, so her father sent someone to arrest her, and asked for someone directly from the temple. After thinking for a moment, he didn't panic, and asked Cuihe: "It's someone from the family who wants to rob me back, are you willing to help?" ”
Lychee is straightforward and spicy, and does not wait for Cuihe to answer. preemptively said: "My sister uses me to order, even if it is a fight, I dare to bite them." ”
Gu Hongyun smiled and said, "I don't need my sister to fight." You help me find a sedan chair, let's hurry to the city, and hide in the Guogong Mansion. ”
Lychee said: "This is easy, when I came, I saw the sedan chair that sent the imperial doctor in." Give a few dollars for them to go. ”
After saying that, Lychee ran out of the city, and soon ran back happily and said, "I have agreed." Wait at the back door of the temple. ”
Gu Hongyun smiled with relief, and whispered to Cuihe, the voice was too small for Lychee to hear.
Lychee exclaimed unhappily: "My sister is tricking me, in fact, I can guess it." It should be to let the empty sedan chair deceive those dogs outside, right? My sister was going to walk into the city alone. ”
Gu Hongyun didn't expect Lychee to be so smart, and said approvingly: "I can't be unguarded, it's not that I don't mean not to say it to you, but it's inconvenient to say something to you." ”
Lychee said unhappily: "The sedan chair is empty, it is easy to see, but I am afraid that it will be exposed as soon as it comes out." ”
Gu Hongyun felt that she was reasonable, lowered her head and thought about it, and said with a wry smile: "If the matter is urgent, I can't take care of it much." ”
Lychee pursed her lips and said cautiously: "In the end, my sister can't trust me, I'll go and return the sedan chair, whatever you do, I don't care." ”
"Oops!" Gu Hongyun hurriedly grabbed her and coaxed: "Good sister, it's not that my sister can't trust you, I really don't dare to drag you in, you don't know how powerful those servants in my family are." ”
The lychee newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and said proudly: "I fought with boys when I was a child, and no one can chase me when I am idle, so my sister doesn't have to worry." Wouldn't it be fun for me to sit in a sedan chair and let Sister Cuihe serve beside me, and let those wicked people snatch me away?
The elder sister, dressed in a man's clothes, begged the princess to send a carriage to keep her safe. Even if they take me to fight a lawsuit, with Xu Dudu protecting us, what is there to fear? Hehe, it just so happened that Aunt Su'e said to let me know more about it, and let her know my skills. ”
When she said this, there seemed to be no danger at all in this matter, and Gu Hongyun agreed without thinking too much.
The three women discussed properly, and Lychee pulled Cuihe to the back door in three steps and two steps, and got directly into the sedan chair. Cuihe instructed the palanquin man: "Because my old lady is seriously ill, the young lady must rush back to the city as soon as possible, and there can be no delay for a moment." Do not save your feet, but give each of you a tael of silver. ”
The two sedan chair drivers couldn't help but be overjoyed, this business was very cost-effective, and without saying a word, they lifted the sedan chair and ran forward quickly.
Cuihe tried her best to follow behind the sedan chair, pretending to be afraid of being recognized, and kept urging her to go quickly.
The Gu family not only sent four people in disguise, but there were also some people hidden in the forest on the left and right, Cuihe followed the sedan chair before he ran an arrow, and he had already recognized it as his own maid and rushed out together.
Cuihe hurriedly shouted: "Miss is going to the British Mansion, who dares to stop her?" Are you afraid of dying? ”
The more anxious she shouted, the more her family thought that the young lady was hiding in a sedan chair, and everyone received the master's order, and there was a heavy reward for bringing people back, who would pay attention to Cuihe's yelling?
rushed up with punches and kicks, and the two palanquin men shouted: "This is our palanquin, how dare you come to rob?" ”
In a moment, the two sedan chair drivers were beaten to the ground, and they could only let go of the bar, and the four fake sedan chair drivers rushed forward, lifted the sedan chair and continued to run forward.
Cuihe pretended to look flustered and cried, "Come on! Someone has committed murder. "It's a terrible shout. was targeted by two Gu family members.
The family ran faster, braving the snowflakes for half an hour, and when they arrived at the riverside pier, there was already a caravan waiting here.
When the maids on the boat saw the sedan chair coming, they came out and asked, "Is the young lady here?" ”
"It's coming, it's coming." The family replied excitedly: "It's in the sedan chair." ”
These people directly lifted the sedan chair onto the boat, and only slowly lowered the sedan chair when the boat was opened, probably because they were worried that the young lady would refuse to get on the boat and what an accident would happen.
As soon as the sedan chair fell, the maids surrounded and drank their families. Gently and gently persuaded: "Miss is frightened, this is all ordered by the master, don't blame our big guys." ”
The sedan curtain was lifted, and a person suddenly jumped out of it, startling the maids. If you look closely, it turned out to be not your own lady.
Lychee rolled up her sleeves, stood between the crowd with her waist crossed, her apricot eyes widened, and shouted, "What are you robbing your aunt and grandmother for?" Aren't you afraid of being questioned and beheaded for human trafficking? ”
The maids did not dare to speak, and they scattered one after another. The family stepped forward and said angrily, "Who are you?" Why are you pretending to be my lady? ”
Lychee smiled coldly and said disdainfully: "Who is pretending to be your young lady?" The blue sky and the day dare to snatch the people's daughters, there is no royal law. ”
The family members relied on the large number of people and were too lazy to listen to her nonsense. He easily tied the lychee, gagged it with rags, and locked it in the cabin. He pushed the Cuihe over again, and asked sharply, "Slut." I was deceived by you, where is the young lady? ”
Cuihe was pressed to his knees on the deck, but he didn't expect to be caught too. At this point in the field, instead of going home and being beaten to death, or being sold like a pig and dog, it is better to fight to the death and leave a clean reputation.
Thinking about it like this, his heart quieted down, and he said unhurriedly: "Let me get up and say." ”
Seeing this, the family let go of their hands and let her go, and suddenly Cuihe rushed to the side in a few steps, covered her face with her sleeves amid the screams of the maids, and jumped into the river.
The big guy hurriedly prepared to rescue him, but the water was turbulent, and the people had long been gone, and they all sighed that a woman who was like a flower and jade, amorous and meaningful, was buried at the bottom of the river alive.
In the capital, Xu Hao listened to Gu Hongyun's cry, secretly scolded him for being confused, and immediately sent someone to Suzhou to order Gu Governor's Mansion to hand over lychees and Cuiyun.
Let Musk Yue settle Gu Hongyun to live at home, he personally wrote a few letters, and the stubbornness of the Gu Governor may not obey orders, so he has to put some pressure on him.
After taking care of everything, after coming out, Musk Yue said, "Grandma came back half an hour ago. ”
"Hmm!" Xu Hao raised his feet and walked towards Zhu Qiaoqiao's yard, the little maid opened the Hunan curtain with a smile, and there was no movement in the house.
Xu Hao asked casually, "Where is my sister-in-law?" ”
The girl replied, "Grandma sleeps with her brother." ”
Thinking of his son, Xu Hao walked into the bedroom quickly, with a curtain hanging on the kang, and a gold-lacquered sunflower dish on the kang table on one side, containing a few bites of cantaloupe and two fiery pomegranates.
When I walked up, I saw Zhu Qiaoqiao lying on her side with her pretty face facing inward, one hand on the child, covered with the same brocade quilt, and the two of them were sleeping soundly on a pillow.
Probably sensing something unusual, Zhu Qiaoqiao instantly opened his eyes and said with a smile: "Here?" ”
"Here we are." Xu Hao smiled a little wryly: "What name did you get?" ”
"I'll talk about it when I get up."
Zhu Qiaoqiao didn't answer immediately, sat up cautiously, and smiled at her son.
The personal maid festively carried a big red carved lacquered wooden plate, holding a blue and white foundation lotus seed bowl, and inside was half a bowl of Longjing flag gun tea. Zhu Qiaoqiao took it and rinsed his mouth and spit it in the spittoon.
Other Xigui, Xiwang, Ruyi and Lian Xi and other maids that Xu Hao didn't recognize also came in, each holding a mirror, a comb, a hand towel, a powder box, rouge, etc., lined up and waiting to serve.
Xu Hao smiled more and more bitterly, except for a few wives in the family, he was the one in front of him who liked to set up music and rules. Looking down at his son's sweet little face, he felt apologetic in his heart.
Zhu Qiaoqiao combed her messy hair in the mirror, evened out her face with powder, and gently touched the rouge on her lips.
Xigui came over with a white agate plate, and inside were more than four exquisite bead flowers, and Zhu Qiaoqiao was all inserted on the temples on both sides.
Xiqing handed over another fragrant tea, Zhu Qiaoqiao took a small sip and asked, "Has the third master drunk tea?" ”
Xi Qing said: "I just came over, and I didn't eat tea." ”
Zhu Qiaoqiao immediately said: "The third master has been here for a long time, and you have forgotten even the rules and humility?" Tea doesn't pour! If you come back after another year and a half, won't you even recognize anyone? They all went to the root outside the window, and each person slapped ten slaps by himself, and re-slapped those who couldn't make a sound. ”
Xu Hao knew that her prestige in Liaodong was getting stronger day by day, and it could be said that most of her overt and secret resources were concentrated in her hands, private fleets, private armies, various mineral resources and large and small factories, etc., the entire North Korea and half of the Japanese country were within her control, and her vision was no longer limited to her family house, but to the entire world.
In this way, Zhu Qiaoqiao ruled half of Liaodong as a woman, and the way of the emperor relied on the combination of grace and power, as the saying goes, there are no rules. (To be continued......)
