Chapter 202 Suffering
In the following days, Qin Zhao lived in Duke Lu's mansion with peace of mind, accompanied by Chen Erhuo, the little devil king of the world, and Chen Jinwu. It almost turned the sky upside down.The Duke's Mansion of Lu State is different from the Duke's Mansion of Yue State, as well as the side-by-side Prince's Mansion.The old evildoer in the Duke of Yue's mansion is inherently cold-hearted. Mrs. Wei comes from a scholarly family with strict rules, so when Qin Zhao lived in the Duke of Yue's mansion, he was considered honest, but he learned martial arts from Luo Che and lived in the old country To make fun in front of the public, to say hello in front of Madam Wei, and to gossip with the real famous lady Luo Jingchen, even Luo Jingyun is not common.

When she was in the prince's mansion, she was either a council member, or she had to grind her teeth with Changning and Yixing, and she was considered An Sheng. Now in Lu Guogong's mansion, even if she wanted to sit quietly, Chen Erhuo and Chen Jinwu would not let her stop .Fortunately, Duke Lu's mansion is the general's door, Mrs. Pei is a real general's tiger girl, and Duke Lu is such a person, so even the servants like to be lively, the three younger ones are more Noisy, the elders don't say anything when they see the joy, even the servants, when they make a name for themselves, they can only clap their hands and applaud.It made Qin Zhao feel really relaxed and comfortable.

If possible, she would really like to live in Duke Lu's mansion for the rest of her life.

Chen Erhuo is a sister-in-law, but it's a pity that his direct sister, Chen Jinwu, has always had the ambition to be a big sister. Chen Erhuo's love for sisters has nowhere to rest, so they all fall on Qin Zhao, who looks cute and sweet, but is actually a big sister. On the girl with an exquisite belly.Even if Qin Zhao said that the moon is square, Chen Erhuo looked up at the night sky, and he would only say, "Yes, yes, it really is a square moon." So Qin Zhao couldn't think of Shu.

And in these days, Qin Zhao drew the appearance of a steamer, asked a craftsman to make it, and after a few days, he really made a high-quality liquor. Although she tasted it, the liquor was really not good, but Ask the old devil king to taste it, but he is addicted to it.As a result, he accidentally drank three bowls in a row, and then... there was no more, the old man fell asleep, and slept until he scored three strokes the next day, before waking up with a splitting headache.

After waking up, not only did he not feel that the wine was bad, but he also asked Qin Zhao to ask if there was any more wine. , Grandfather only drank more than a catty yesterday, if you want to drink, you can drink it every day in the future, but this wine is too strong, drinking it for pleasure, drinking too much will hurt your body, grandfather should drink less."

Old Chen laughed loudly: "Small drinking is pleasant, but heavy drinking is harmful to the body? Old man, I only know that this wine is strong, so it is worthy of your grandfather and me. The ancient sages are lonely, but the drinker keeps his name. If it is true One day, I will drink to my heart's content because of this wine, that's the old man's blessing, don't hide it, little girl, quickly bring two jars, I will find some old brothers to drink, and I will give it to you Grandpa Luo Don’t look at that old boy’s stern face all day, pretending to be a fairy, if he really sees good wine, he’s so greedy, I’m afraid even the old man is not as good as me.”

Qin Zhao said yes with a smile, and said that at Grandpa Luo's place, as soon as he got the wine yesterday, he sent two altars to the Duke of Yue's mansion. Wounded soldiers use this wine to wipe their wounds, which can avoid inflammation of the wounds to the greatest extent, and it is a life-saving thing. In this world, no one cares more about soldiers than Duke Lu, who spends most of his life fighting. After hearing this, I was even more happy and just said yes loudly.

While talking, Qin Zhao asked someone to bring two more jugs of wine. Feeling relieved, Old Chen proudly held each jug and went out the door.

Because I lived here for half a month, even the Dragon Boat Festival was celebrated at Duke Lu's mansion. Now it's the middle of May, and the weather is getting hotter. Shan Xiaoying has always been at Duke Yue's mansion, and also went to Duke Lu. The mansion came twice, and Li Sanniang's side was also sent to the farm by Roche. He personally arranged the people to serve, and Qin Zhao was not worried. Ashu and Bajie also started to work on the shop. The meat jerky workshop was built outside the city in March, and the workers in the workshop were also entrusted by Li Da to manage and hired people, just waiting to start production.Because of the New Year's Eve, Chen Erhuo helped find jerky and department stores in the East and West Markets, and they were all decorated. Now that Bajie has come over, he started to open the business. busy.When the shop opens, the goods that Bajie brought will become the first batch of goods. Don't worry about the supply of goods for the time being, but after the shop opens, the caravan affairs must be really planned. By then, Shan Xiaoying will also Leaving Beijing, he could no longer be by Qin Zhao's side.Fortunately, Qin Zhao has learned the Luo family's marksmanship, and his martial arts has improved, not to mention the rapid progress, but it is no longer the same as when he just came back from Liangzhou. Ordinary people are not enough for her, and she is protected by the Luo and Chen families. Not too worried.

Naturally, it is not easy to live in Duke Lu's mansion, so Qin Zhao thought about going back to the mansion of Prince Lu.

She was about to bid farewell to Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Pei, and someone from the palace also came to pick her up. They said that Qin Zhe helped Shan Nian's coffin back to the capital. The palace was late because it was late yesterday. It will be reported to the Chen family in the future.Came over this morning.

The person was sent by Princess Jinyang, who is also familiar with the Chen family, and this time it was not just to pick up Qin Zhao. After all, Shan Nian is the adopted daughter of Duke Lu and his wife. He grew up, and when he got married, he also left the house of the Duke of Lu. The Duke of Lu's mansion is a serious natal family, so he only thought about the coffin returning to Beijing, and sent a letter to the Duke of Lu's mansion, to the two husbands and wives. It is also necessary to report.

Hearing the news, the old man was fine, but Mrs. Pei wiped away tears.

Qin Zhao looked at the gloomy look on the old man's face and the sad look on the old lady's face, and then remembered the extremely beautiful woman who was only in her early 20s when she was half asleep and half awake, maybe it was the memory of the original body, or maybe it was because of other reasons , my heart was inexplicably sad, and my eyes were also red.The old Mrs. Pei who was looking down couldn't bear it, she hurriedly wiped away her tears, touched Qin Zhao's head, and said: "We are sorry for your mother, we just thought that we found a good family for her and married someone who knows everything, so we won't be able to suffer for her." I don't want that child to be so miserable, but I asked us white-haired people to send black-haired people. Fortunately, she gave birth to a good girl like you, and the spirit in heaven can comfort her. Go home and kowtow to your mother. Me and Your grandfather will visit your mother tomorrow..."

"Grandmother, don't be sad. My mother won't bear it if she sees you and grandfather so sad." Qin Zhao saw that the old lady was really sad, so he endured the pain himself, and comforted him, "My mother is going Morning, I can't be filial in front of your two elders, in the future, Ah Zhao will replace my mother and be filial to my grandfather and you."

Mrs. Pei sighed, and forced a smile: "I know you are a good boy, go with the servants quickly, and don't get angry when you go back. With us here, no one can wrong you. Wait until your mother is buried , from now on, you just have to be happy every day."

Qin Zhaofu made a farewell ceremony.

But a heart flew back to the side-by-side palace.

Brother is back.

I haven't seen him for more than a year. I don't know if he has changed again.

All the way from Zhujiazhuang, Ping'an Town, Anxian County, Liangzhou to the capital, the solemn and handsome young man was extremely gentle and patient towards her, almost wanting to give her all the good things in the world.

She still remembers how he took care of her.I also know that he is my reliance and support in this world.Without him standing behind her, she would not be able to live so comfortably.With him behind him, she can hold up a piece of sky for her.

He is really hurting her as his direct sister, there is no benefit, nothing to do with guilt, just because she is his sister.Such pure emotion.

It's different from everyone's feelings for her.

Along the way, Qin Zhao rode on the horse, pursed his lips tightly, and didn't ask any questions.

The Duke of Lu got the news, and the Duke of Yue naturally also got the news.

The Duke's Mansion of Yue State is closer to the Prince's Mansion than the Duke's Mansion of Lu State. Therefore, when Qin Zhao returned to the Qin family, he saw Shan Xiaoying standing in front of the gate of the Qin family, waiting for Qin Zhao.

The sunshine in May is like a golden light.

The vermilion lacquer gates that stand shoulder to shoulder with the palace are even more red and shiny.

Shan Xiaoying, who has always been a heroic figure in a black robe, is now wearing a moon-white white folded robe, standing in front of the horse, in that heroic spirit, there is a bit of indescribable bleakness, obviously the sun in May is so good However, Qin Zhao felt cold.Seeing Qin Zhao, Shan Xiaoying grinned.But that smile didn't reach his eyes.

"Ah Zhao, you are here." Shan Xiaoying stepped forward and helped Qin Zhao jump off the horse, "Come on, let's go see my aunt."

What he said was "A Zhao, you are here", not "A Zhao, you are back".It seemed that Qin Zhao was just visiting.And he was nothing more than a guest who walked in through the door.

Qin Zhao twitched the corners of his lips, and said "Yes", and the two walked around the gate, entered the Yimen Gate, and walked hand in hand.

After entering the Yimen Gate, I found that the family members had all changed into plain clothes.

Although there is no white hanging in the mansion, all the beauty is gone.

The person who came to greet Qin Zhao in the front yard turned out to be Zhizi who was beside the old dowager: "Princess, there is a mourning hall in the front yard. Although Mrs. Wen passed away for several years, it is not easy to make up for the funeral, but the dowager said that she will be in the funeral hall." The mourning at home will be suspended for 49 days, and then the ancestral grave will be buried. The princess and Mr. Shan Lang, go and kowtow to your wife. Mr. Lang... is waiting for the princess in the mourning hall."

Qin Zhao pursed his lips and nodded.

The two followed Zhizi to the mourning hall in the main courtyard, and saw Qin Zhe dressed in white ramie, with cold eyes and an ice-like expression, kneeling before the mourning.And Qin Yun and Qin Han were also impressively in front of the coffin, both dressed in white ramie, kneeling behind Qin Zhe.

Seeing Qin Zhao, Qin Zhe felt some warmth in his eyes.He nodded to Qin Zhao, and then glanced at Shan Xiaoying who was standing side by side with Qin Zhao. The surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he said to Qin Zhao, "Ah Zhao, give mother a few kowtows."

"Yes, brother." Qin Zhao knelt down neatly and kowtowed three times firmly.

If you said that when you heard the news of Qin Zhe's return in Duke Lu's mansion, you felt sore in your heart, but now you really knelt in front of Shan Nian's spirit, and a lot of images flashed in your mind.Those memories that don't belong to her are like a silent black and white movie.

At that time she was so weak that she almost died, and she was only three years old at that time.

A three-year-old child who shouldn't have any memories.What's more, only the shell was left and the core was changed.

However, those images were caught off guard and flooded into her mind fiercely.

Such a beautiful and gentle woman, so young and beautiful as a blooming cherry tree.

She used her body to protect her until death.

She is kind, but she can do her best in desperation, she is weak, but she can give everything for her.

If those people hadn't pursued her tirelessly, she would not have died.

It turned out that the truth turned out to be like that.Qin Zhao closed his eyes.Even if she doesn't know everything, at this moment, everything she sees through time is enough.She was not surprised at all.not at all.

those people... those people...

Qin Zhao felt like a fire in his heart was about to rush out of his chest, and a huge pain seemed to rush straight from his chest to his forehead.She couldn't suppress it, and she didn't want to.

"mother……"
