Chapter 91
When Xue Chen got up the next day, he found two jasmine flowers that had not yet bloomed in front of the west window. The small white buds hid among the tender green leaves. They looked very petite. The unique fragrance of jasmine penetrated into the tip of his nose. I don’t know when he sent it. Thinking of how he left last night, Xue Chen couldn’t help but smile.
Qin Feng and Zheng Yuan came in and saw Xue Chen standing in front of the west window and smiling foolishly, holding two jasmine trees in his hand. He couldn't help but ask, "Miss, where did these two flowers come from?"
Qin Feng put the basin filled with hot water on the basin rack. Xue Chen came to his senses. Seeing that the two girls were staring at him with a strange look, they couldn't help but touch their cheeks, and looked at them without saying a word. They put the flowers on the table first, and then after washing up, they didn't eat breakfast. Instead, they went to the flower room first and found an exquisite celadon flower pot. After filling the soil, they planted two jasmine flowers into the soil and watered them again, and then moved the flowers into their room and placed them on the windowsill in the west window. She hoped that when he came back, the first thing they saw was these two jasmine flowers.
I remember what he said yesterday: When I come back from Guangling, I will come to propose marriage.
Xue Chen thought about it, if he was the one who proposed the marriage, she seemed to think it was pretty good. And after they established a relationship, she must find a way to stop him from going to Zhuozhou next year.
Yesterday, Xiao just said that he would engage in marriage for Sister Lan and Sister Qin, but today their aunt came to the door and said that he would take his two nieces back to the house to live for some time.
Xiao looked at the lady Guan in front of her, with a fat body and round face, and looked kind, but she was so mean that she was unforgettably mean:
"We, Sister Lan and Sister Qin, are children without fathers and mothers. If we are uncles and aunts, they will be sad... Oh, I'm not saying that you treat them badly, but I just think these two children are pitiful. Their mother died early and was the best brother and sister with their uncle during their lifetime. Now, although they come to the Xue family with you, they can't resist their uncle's miss them. Let me tell you if they can let the two children live in our place for two days, and make sure they have to be replaced with all the money. Mrs. will not refuse to do this request."
Xiao looked at the woman in front of him, bent his lips casually, and said:
"What did my uncle say? If you want to pick up your two children and stay for a few days, that's good. After all, it's their own uncle's family, but..."
Before Xiao finished speaking, Mrs. Guan stopped the conversation and said, "Madam is really reasonable. The two girls are also ignorant. They had complained to their uncle before, saying that their mother locked them up in the mansion and refused to let them go out. I looked at it today and knew that the two girls were wrong. The wife looked like a kind mother, definitely not the kind of mother who would treat her concubine's daughter harshly."
As Mrs. Guan said this, her eyebrows were full of sneering. Xiao gritted her teeth and said, "It is indeed my order to lock them in the mansion. I don't have to tell me these things. I will naturally have to do with them. I will not treat my concubine's daughter harshly, but I will not allow the concubine's daughter to make trouble and ignore them. If you offend my uncle on this point, please forgive me."
Mrs. Guan's smile froze, then stood up and decided not to discuss this topic with Xiao. She said, "If my wife allows me, then I will take the two girls back today. After living there for a month, I will send them back before the New Year. Do you think?"
Xiao nodded and called the nanny to lead Mrs. Guan to Haitangyuan, and sent two more maids to pack their luggage for them.
Xiao really couldn't love those two concubines. When she was their legitimate mother, they were kept by Aunt Guan and were extremely favored. However, her daughter Jingjie'er lived with Mrs. Wei in Daxing for six years and suffered six years of guilt. After she was taken back, she was tortured by the old lady with her. Wei Qing favored her concubine and killed her wife. The suffering was not personal experience, and no one could understand it. So, who can expect her to be so good to the two concubines now. Although it wouldn't be very good, it wouldn't be too bad, because she was not the kind of mean person. Yesterday she just found a family for Lan Jie'er and Qin Jie'er, and today their uncle's family came to her. This shows that the two girls had contact with her uncle's family. She was wronged by her and felt that she had found a small family for them, which made them use to support her the next day.
This incident completely made Xiao lose the care that he had not had. As Chen Jie'er said, they would do whatever they wanted. If something really happened, she would drive them out of the mansion. Anyway, they were not the daughters of the Xue family and had no relatives with her. Even if they were driven out, at most she would have a bad reputation herself, at least she would not implicate the Xue family.
When Mrs. Guan took away her two children, she did not come to say goodbye to Xiao. It seemed that she planned to live in their uncle's house. Xiao didn't care about them and let the doorman let the doorman go. It was easy for them to leave the Xue family today, but if they had to come in again in the future, it would be not so easy.
Xiao actually wanted to send these two girls away, but she had only a little compassion at the beginning, thinking that they had no father or mother, and Mrs. Wei was so cannibalistic. If the two girls followed her, they would be afraid that some would suffer, so they stayed by their side. Now that they wanted to leave and called them to their uncle's house, what else would she not let go and directly sent all their belongings to their uncle's house.
Lou Qingyun didn't show up after more than ten days. The jasmine flowers on the windowsill were in full bloom, but he hadn't come back yet.
Xue Chen seems a little depressed these days. He either read books or nestled in front of the west window and looked at the jasmine flower. His anxiety became more and more intense. He comforted himself misconduct that Lou Qingyun was just going to Guangling, not to Zhuozhou, but to Zhuozhou, and it was still a year before he went to Zhuozhou.
But after more than two months of comforting himself, Lou Qingyun still didn't show up. Xue Chen couldn't sit still and even asked Yan Luodong to visit Dali Temple. However, the news brought back by Yan Luodong was also quite desperate. It turned out that Lou Qingyun had not been to Dali Temple for two months, saying that he had gone to do business for the prince.
Just when Xue Chen was worried that he was about to stop thinking about food, a precious letter was transferred to her. It was sent by Lou Qingyun. The letter seemed to be written in a hurry, saying that their pursuit had encountered some problems and the suspect ran away. They rushed from Guangling to Chang'an, and the letter was sent from Chang'an station.
This timely letter slightly relieved Xue Chen's concerns, but until the Chinese New Year, Lou Qingyun did not send another letter.
Xue Chen only felt that the New Year was really uncomfortable. Even in the first month of the year, the Yuan family went to Xifu to propose marriage, and Xue Xiu happily hugged her around, but she couldn't make her happy.
Sitting in Xue Xiu's boudoir, looking at the chessboard in Xue Xiu's room, I remembered that in Dinghui Temple, Lou Qingyun took her to the roof to see the stars. She was still unintentional to him at that time. When did she actually have such feelings for him? A day without seeing her is like three autumns, Xue Chen counted the days when Lou Qingyun left with his fingers. It had been three months and twelve days since he sent a letter last month. He couldn't help but blame him in his heart. No matter how busy he was, wouldn't he have time to send a letter? But Lou Qingyun's character, if he really had time to write to her, he wouldn't miss the opportunity. The reason for not writing it must be inconvenient. Xue Chen knew that he was still too sensitive. But she was not sensitive.
Lou Qingyun had just entered her heart, but she had to face the reality that he was about to leave. No matter who he was put into it, it would be unacceptable.
The marriage agreement between Xue Xiu and Yuanqing is on March 28th next year. From the day of getting engaged, Xue Xiu will follow the eldest wife Zhao to study the affairs of the mansion. He will not have much time to meet Xue Chen, Han Yu and the others. Even if he takes time to meet, he will go back soon.
Xue Chen waited from March to April, and April to June, but Lou Qingyun still had no news. He asked Yan Luodong to inquire, but Yan Luodong said that he could not find out about Lou Qingyun's news, and everyone's impression of him was still when he went out to help the prince's affairs last year.
Xue Chen has always woken up from nightmare these days, either seeing Lou Qingyun covered in blood or seeing him having his head broken. Now, it has been quite clear that Lou Qingyun's death disaster has begun to work. Last autumn, he said he went to Guangling, which was actually the beginning, but she didn't notice it. At that time, he thought it was still early and he would definitely come back to Guangling.
They didn't even say the last farewell. She hadn't even told him yet, and she liked him...
Xue Chen tried hard to recall the situation in his previous life in his mind. She remembered that when Lou Qingyun's body was transported back to the capital, it was the late twelfth lunar month, and the frost was flying all over the sky. The twelfth lunar month was December. It took at least one and a half months to two months to transport the body from Zhuozhou. After all, it was such a long journey. In other words, Lou Qingyun died at the end of October and early November. The last time he sent her a letter was in the twelfth lunar month last year. At that time, Lou Qingyun had been away for more than three months. At that time, his letter said that he was in Chang'an City, Chang'an was in the west, not the direction to Zhuozhou. However, he had not contacted her for so long, and for half a year, who knew whether he would be in Zhuozhou now?
According to the trajectory of his previous life, maybe he was already in Zhuozhou at this time. Regardless of whether he is here or not, he will definitely go back to Zhuozhou in the end.
After understanding this, Xue Chen could no longer sit still. He called Yan Luodong into the yard and said seriously to him:
"Yan Guard, I want to go to Zhuozhou Prefecture. Can you go with me?"
Yan Luodong looked at Xue Chen's serious little face. During this period, the eldest lady had lost a lot of weight for some reason. Her small face as big as a palm was not big, but now she is even sharper. Her big eyes are always filled with sorrow. It seems that she must be inseparable from Zhuozhou.
He nodded and said firmly: "Where is the lady saying, since he entered the Xue family, Yan Luodong's life is the lady's. I will do whatever the lady asks me to do, and I will go wherever the lady goes."
Xue Chen was also moved when he looked at the man in front of him who looked ordinary but could bring her a sense of supreme security every time. However, since he made this decision, Xue Chen did not intend to give up.
Even if she could only wait for Lou Qingyun's body to go to Zhuozhou, she had to rush to him as soon as possible. Just like when he took the initiative to approach him countless times in the past, she would take the initiative to approach him this time. If Zhuozhou was his death place, she would go there and welcome him back in person... she would never let him leave alone.
