Chapter 105 Six Flowers Flying 01

Huo Weilou had been calm just now, but now his tone showed displeasure. His phoenix eyes looked particularly dark in the dim light. Bao Ruoyou pursed his lips and said, "I came to the Yamen to see the adults today." When I came back, I needed my help, but I didn't expect to meet Mr. Lin. He was quite warm and said that I was not familiar with the capital and wanted to take me around, but I refused."

Huo Weilou's eyebrows did not move, "How did you refuse?"

"I said it doesn't have to be like this, so that he doesn't have to do this in the future." Bao Ruoyou looked at his expression carefully, "I can't say anything more directly. He said that after asking Lin Shilang and his wife, he got the answer Knowing that my adoptive father and I are having a hard time, I want to take care of us a little bit."

Huo Weilou squinted his eyes, with a hint of danger in his raised eyes, "Are you feeling moved?"

Bao Ruoyou shook his head quickly, "No, no, no, I just feel uncomfortable. He is Bo Yixian's fiance. I will not be taken care of by him in any case, and I have only met him a few times."

Frowning, Huo Weilou said dissatisfied: "Is it because of this?"

Bo Ruoyou smacked the taste and rolled his eyes, "Of course it's because the Marquis told me that he doesn't like me talking to him."

Huo Weilou felt a little calmer now. He looked her up and down for a moment, and saw that she had a calm look on her face. Although he understood that she was not wrong, the depression in his heart did not disappear, "You have only been back for a day. In a matter of days, he got the news quickly. If he really wanted to see your adoptive father, why would he have to wait for you to come back? It is better to visit you at your house than to stay at the Yamen."

Huo Weilou's words are not unreasonable. If Lin Zhao is interested in visiting his elders, the circle is quite wide. Even if he doesn't care much about her, at least in Lin Zhao's heart, visiting her is more important than visiting Cheng Yunzhi.

The low voices of Lu Ke and others came from the depths of the inner treasury, but the sound of rummaging through the cabinets could be heard. Bo Ruoyou was embarrassed to speak openly to him, so he took half a step closer to him, "This is probably It’s because I met Young Master Lin when we were young, so he paid special attention to me.”

Huo Weilou raised his sword eyebrows high, "So what if we met him when we were young? Could it be that we are still childhood sweethearts with him? Have you thought of a reason for him?"

He spoke in a low voice and asked questions three times. Bo Ruoyou blushed, "No, no, it doesn't matter what he thinks. Don't say that the Marquis doesn't like it. Even if the Marquis doesn't say it, I won't either." I have interacted with him so much that I can’t even remember the things I saw when I was young.”

Huo Weilou snorted, his face still cold. Although Lin Zhao was only three years younger than him, he had never really seen this person in his eyes. But this time he thought of Lin Zhao's frequent treatment of Bo Ruoyou. Showing kindness, he really couldn't hold back the anger in his heart.

Seeing that he was silent, Bo Ruoyou couldn't help but speak softer, "Master Hou, please don't get angry. I understand what Master Hou means, and he must be measured. Today, Master Hou came to the government office to handle errands. What's the errand? What do you want me to do?"

Her tone was soft and tender, and her face showed a hint of goodwill, which made him feel relieved. He looked deep into the cabinet and said, "It's an errand for the imperial court. Although I’m keeping you here, but I don’t really want you to help.”

Bo Ruoyou's heart was clear, and Huo Weilou could distinguish between public and private affairs. This was probably a very confidential errand. Just now he just didn't want her to get along with Lin Zhao, so she blinked and said, "Then I'll stay here. Is it inconvenient?"

Huo Weilou said angrily: "What's the inconvenience?"

Bo Ruoyou looked at him, "I'm afraid it will disturb the Marquis on his errands."

Huo Weilou smiled for a moment, his eyebrows stretched, and his expression softened, "If you don't stay in front of me, I will be distracted." He pointed to the stool under the window and asked her to sit down, and called someone Come hold the lamp.

The yamen waiting outside almost came in with a few lamps. Huo Weilou put one next to Bo Ruoyou, then took the lamp and went inside. After a while, the people disappeared behind the cabinet. Bo Ruoyou was by the window. Sit down and listen to what's going on inside.

The embroiderer wanted to look for more than one or two things, and from time to time he heard people say "I found it". It didn't take long. Huo Weilou's cold voice came from behind.

"It's really him!"

It was an ordinary word, but it was filled with a thrilling chill when it came out of Huo Weilou's mouth. Bo Ruoyou couldn't help but sit up straight, and after listening to Huo Weilou's instructions, he saw him coming from behind with a cold face. Walking out, her expression softened when she saw Bo Ruoyou. She quickly stood up, and Huo Weilou came up to her and asked, "Can we have dinner?"

Bao Ruoyou shook his head, "Not yet. I planned to go home and have dinner with my adoptive father after coming to the Yamen."

Huo Weilou raised his chin slightly, "It's this hour and it's too late to go back. Come with me -"

Huo Weilou walked out, and Bo Ruoyou quickly followed, then looked back at the depths of the inner treasury, "Master Marquis is not looking for official documents?"

"The important things have been found. Leave the rest to Lu Ke and let's go have a meal." After saying that, he looked back at her and said, "I will go to the palace later. I will send you home after dinner and stay here again." How can we make it here in time?"

Bao Ruoyou's expression changed slightly and he said hurriedly: "Then the Marquis does not need to send me home——"

Huo Weilou seemed to be smiling for a moment, "If you use your thoughts of rejecting me on other people, I will be less of an eyesore."

She was not rejecting him. She was clearly thinking about him. Bao Ruoyou followed two steps forward and said, "If the Marquis has something serious to do, there is no need to waste time for me, lest the people below think that the Marquis does not distinguish between public and private matters." ."

Huo Weilou seemed to have heard some joke, but he said: "I can't tell you apart, so what do you do?"

The two of them walked out and soon met Sun Zhao. Although Huo Weilou did not let him stay in the Yamen, Huo Weilou was still there and he did not dare to leave. When he saw the two of them coming out, Sun Zhao immediately He came up and said, "Master Hou, this is——"

"Lu Ke and the others are still here, I will take the first step."

Sun Zhao looked at Huo Weilou and then at Bo Ruoyou. He suddenly felt enlightened and personally sent the two of them out of the Yamen.

When he arrived at the carriage, Huo Weilou got on his carriage first. When he saw that she was going to his carriage, he raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Where are you going?"

Bao Ruoyou had no choice but to ride with him.

The light in the carriage was dim. Huo Weilou said the name of a market. Although Bo Ruoyou had never heard of it, it felt familiar. After thinking about it carefully, it was the busiest place in Dongshi. She was a little surprised. She didn't expect Huo Ruoyou to The old man in the dangerous building was actually willing to take her to a noisy place like Dongshi at night. She was a little suspicious, "Isn't the Marquis in a hurry to enter the palace?"

Huo Wei said: "No matter how anxious you are, you still need to eat."

She said nothing, opened the curtain and looked outside. The carriage drove along the market, and soon entered the bustling market lined with towers. The night had just fallen, but the entire long street was already brightly lit. , when you look up, you will see embroidered household bead curtains, dazzling gold and jade, with crowds of people, rows of silk clothes, and carriages and horses coming and going. When you listen carefully again, you can hear the sound of flute pipes in the painting building on the street, and there are all kinds of things. The hustle and bustle of laughter and hawking is endless, and it is a lively scene of peace and prosperity for the country and the people.

The carriage is getting closer and closer to where Huo Weilou was talking about. All the restaurants in sight are archway restaurants. The aroma of tea and wine and the bright lights enter the eyes. It is a different kind of liveliness. During this period, there are several wine restaurants. Looking outside, The red lacquer painting is particularly luxurious. Looking up, on the second floor, there are several women with heavy makeup leaning on it. Occasionally, some people look down at the market, their faces are full of joy and laughter, and there are even generals. Throwing the silk handkerchief down in his hand, Bo Ruoyou's eyes were full of wonder!

Before she could finish watching, the curtain was pulled down, and Huo Weilou looked at her with a strange expression, "What are you looking at?"

Bao Ruoyou blinked, "Why can't you see it?"

Huo Weilou frowned, "This is a place with wooden fences and roofs, so don't look at anything inappropriate."

Bo Ruoyou laughed out loud, "They and I are both women, why don't we ignore it?" She tilted her head, "Could it be that the Marquis has been here before?"

The words in Huo Weilou's mouth were stagnant, obviously he did not expect Bo Ruoyou to ask such a question. Seeing that he was speechless, what did Bo Ruoyou not understand? Her heart tightened, but the smile on her face did not disappear, "I see, that's it. The Marquis is not treating me with disrespect."

She turned her head and didn't feel it was strange. After all, Huo Weilou was born in a noble family and held a high position. He was emotional and reasonable. He had been to a place of pleasure. He will be as dissolute as Huo Qinghong.

But it still made her feel a little unhappy.

Huo Weilou looked at her for a moment and said, "I'm here just for official business, not what you think."

Bo Ruoyou's face was calm and unrevealing, but Huo Weilou had a sharp eye and saw that she was not as cheerful as before, so he said: "In my early years on the battlefield, there was a lot of alienation in Beijing and China. After I returned to Beijing and became a Marquis, things inside and outside the court were not as good as they are now. People have to go in and out of this place for business exchanges, but I haven't figured out what's so good about a place like this where even the wine smells like powder."

Bo Ruoyou turned to look at him and Huo Weilou said: "The women here are all heavily made up, like **** monsters. The singers and dancers here have pink on their faces when they dance and dance. I never let them get close. ."

What he said was exaggerated, but his expression was serious, which made Bo Ruoyou couldn't help laughing. She looked at Huo Weilou suspiciously, and felt that Huo Weilou's temperament was really a magnificent thing among the children of the aristocratic families in the capital. She Suddenly asked: "How did the Marquis get such a temperament from Her Highness the Princess? Her Royal Highness strictly forbids the Marquis from drinking and having sex?"

The curtains swayed slightly as the carriage jolted, and the light from the gap fell on the two of them. The brightness in Huo Weilou's eyes was uncertain. She didn't know if it was her misunderstanding. At the moment of questioning, she seemed to feel that the eyes of Huo Weilou were bright and dark. A little darker.

"That's not the case. No one rules me over wine and sex." He spoke, but his tone was still normal.

Bo Ruoyou was even more surprised when she heard that, if it was not due to strict upbringing and just relying on his nature, then how strict he must be on self-discipline. She felt a bit of admiration in her heart, "Then the Marquis is so clean and self-possessed, seriously?" Rare."

Her eyes were bright and her admiration was beyond words. Huo Weilou laughed silently and couldn't help but lean closer to her. "You are so strange. What you are thinking about right now is that I shouldn't be treating others." No one has any intention, but am I alone in love with you?"

Bao Ruoyou's heart beat very fast, "I..."

At this time, the carriage moved slower, the curtains hung tightly, and the carriage was dark. The heat of his words fell on her face. Seeing her hesitating and speechless, he couldn't help but raise his hands and clasp his palms. Holding half of her cheek, "I didn't think about it just now, but now?"

Bao Ruoyou leaned back and nodded vigorously. Huo Weilou stopped teasing her, took back his hand and said meaningfully: "Think about it carefully, and remember it after thinking about it."

Bao Ruoyou felt like her whole body was burning with fever, because the carriage was cramped. Even if he stepped away, he was still very close. Just when her heartbeat was uncontrollable due to his teasing, the carriage stopped.

Huo Weilou opened the curtain and glanced outside, "We're here."

As he said that, he got off the carriage first. Bo Ruoyou took a deep breath and followed. At a glance, he saw a majestic building. The words "Fengle Building" were written in gold paint on the plaque. The lights were bright inside. The figures are bright, the three-story building has cornices and brackets, and there are bridge railings. The light and dark are connected. At first glance, it looks like a place where big money is spent.

Huo Weilou took her in. He seemed to be familiar with her. He went all the way to the small pavilion on the third floor and ordered food. They were all dishes that are common in the capital. After a while, the delicacies were served on the table. They were all exquisite in color and aroma. In the middle of the meal, he stood up and opened the window. The cool breeze rushed in. Bo Ruoyou's eyes lit up when he looked at it. The buildings here were tall and wide, which was perfect for overlooking. Now, standing by the window railing, he could see half of the capital at a glance. In particular, the entire Dongcheng City can be seen at a glance.

The lights in Dongshi at night were as bright as day and as bright as the stars. Bo Ruoyou held his breath, as if he had seen all the lights of thousands of houses in an instant, and felt a sudden and unreal feeling. Huo Weilou stood beside her and slowly He said: "This capital is no bigger than the palm of your hand. Not to mention the capital, it is the entire Zhou Dynasty. Wherever you want to see, I will take you there."

……

Lin Zhao left the Yamen and took a carriage back to the Lin Mansion. On the way, he thought of all the difficulties faced by Bao Ruoyou and couldn't help but sigh frequently. He felt that he was still too abrupt. Thinking about it, he felt pity for her. He had no choice but to leave at a young age. In the capital, now even he, who is supposed to be close, is rejecting her like this. They are supposed to be brother and sister who have been friends for generations.

While his mind was wandering, the carriage stopped. He was stunned, it was impossible to reach home so quickly.

"Sir, I met Mr. Bo and the eldest lady of the Bo family."

As the attendant announced outside, Lin Zhao looked surprised. He opened the curtain and took a look. Sure enough, a carriage was parked at the corner of the street. Outside the carriage were standing the Bo Yixian brother and sister. The corners of his lips were slightly curved, "Why are you here?" Where?"

Bo Yixuan came forward and teased Bo Yixian, "I'm not my sister yet. I said that the weather has turned warm and cold these past two days, so I made you a light cloak. I promised to give it to you personally."

Lin Zhao got off the carriage. This place was only two streets away from the Lin Mansion. They were waiting here specifically.

Bo Yixian indeed had a baggage in her hand and stepped forward to hand it over, "Did Brother Zhao just come out of the palace?"

Lin Zhaozheng took the baggage, and when he heard this, his hand movements froze, and then he looked at the brothers and sisters. There was some hesitation in his eyes, and he was hesitant to speak. Bo Yixian said: "What's wrong?"

Lin Zhao originally wanted to ask Bao Ruoyou, but after thinking about it, he still did not ask. He shook his head and told the truth, "No, I just went to Jingzhao Yin Yamen."

Bo Yixuan asked: "Why are you going to the Yamen? What errands can't be done?"

Lin Zhao smiled and said: "Nothing, just went to see a friend."

There are also many young officials in Jingzhao Yin Yamen. Bo Yixuan didn't pay much attention when he heard this, but Bo Yixian immediately raised his thoughts, "Who is Brother Zhao going to see? Do we recognize him?"

Lin Zhao still said: "You don't recognize me, he's just an old friend." He looked at the baggage in his hand and said, "You don't need to do these things. The Lin Mansion has enough embroiderers, and I don't lack these things either. Well, thank you very much for this time."

Bo Yixian's mind was elsewhere, and her smile was a little forced, "It doesn't matter if Brother Zhao doesn't wear it, it's my intention."

Lin Zhao thanked him again, handed the baggage to the attendants, and asked them, "Would you like to go and sit at the house? It's not far anyway."

Bo Yixuan looked at Bo Yixian, but Bo Yixian declined politely. Bo Yixuan said: "Then let's go back first. You'd better wear this cloak. My sister stayed up for several nights for you, and her hand was pricked by a needle. She herself Xiaoke is a noble woman with no fingers on her face, so you can’t waste her thoughts in vain.”

Lin Zhao was very grateful, but when he heard the last two sentences, he thought of Bo Ruoyou in his heart. Bo Yixian was so compassionate as a female celebrity, but Bo Ruoyou's parents died when he was young, and then he became a widower. How hard it must be.

His smile faded a little, "Okay, I can wear it myself."

When Bo Yixian and his sister got on the carriage and drove away, Lin Zhaoyi stood there without moving. He pondered for a moment and made up his mind to visit Bo Ruoyou and his daughter tomorrow.

……

Huo Weilou sent Bao Ruoyou to the door of his house, and watched her enter before leaving. Bao Ruoyou stood inside the door, listening to the sound of cars and horses going away, and then lost his consciousness before going to the main hall. She slept very peacefully that night. When she woke up the next morning, she thought that she had nothing to do when she went to the Yamen yesterday afternoon, so she did not go to the Yamen to answer the call. However, before noon, there was a knock on the courtyard door.

Bao Ruoyou was playing chess with Cheng Yun in the main hall. When he heard the noise, his first thought was that someone was coming from the Wu Zhaohou Mansion. However, Zhou Liang went to open the door and did not return for a long time. When the father and daughter were hesitating, they saw several people walking around. Pass the screen wall and enter the atrium.

"Yunzhi! It's really you! Since you have returned to the capital, why don't you go back to the Bo family?"

The person walking in front was a middle-aged man who was nearly 40 years old. He was tall and tall, dressed in fine clothes, and slightly put on weight. Although he had a bright smile on his face, his gleaming eyes made people uncomfortable. feeling.

After he finished speaking, before Bo Ruoyou could recover, Cheng Yunzhi stood up on crutches. At this time, the man looked at Bo Ruoyou again and said, "Oh my god, this is Youyou, right?" The glare is so big, he really looks exactly like Yuetang Sheng, Youyou, don’t you recognize my uncle?”

The visitor walked towards Bao Ruoyou with a distressed look on his face. Bao Ruoyou was stunned. Before she could react, Cheng Yunshang took a step forward and blocked her behind him. The leisurely feeling he had felt a moment ago disappeared without a trace. Without a trace, his slightly rickety back straightened, with a look of caution. Looking at the person in front of him, he said in a cold voice, "It turns out to be Jing Qian——"

After a pause, he asked again: "May I ask, how did you find this place?"

Bo Jingqian is the uncle of Bo Ruoyou, the current head of the Bo family. Following him was the Bo family’s first lady, Hu, who was dressed in rich clothes and decorated with gold and jade. The one following behind was Qian Qian. Bo Yixian who applied pink and white.

Bo Yixian held Hu's hand, and both mother and daughter were looking at the yard. Hu's eyebrows showed a look of disdain, while Bo Yixian didn't show any expression, but it was obvious that she had a sense of superiority all over her body. Behind him were seven or eight maids and servants. Just now Zhou Liang wanted to stop them, but he was blocked by these servants.

Bao Jingqian listened to Cheng Yunzhi's calm words, and the smile on his face deepened, "Yunzhi, since you have come back and met Lin Huai again, you can naturally think that it will be sooner or later for us to have good relations with the Lin family. I know."

"Did Lin Huai tell you?" Cheng Yunzhi asked, and then shook his head, "Impossible, Lin Huai wouldn't be so talkative, you must have found this out by yourself."

There was some mockery in his words, and then he sighed, "That's all, we have to see you sooner or later. Since you are here, please take a seat."

Cheng Yunzhi and Bo Jingqian took the first two seats respectively. Hu and Bo Yixian sat on the right side. Bo Ruoyou stood beside Cheng Yunzhi. When Zhou Liang served tea, Cheng Yunzhi said coldly: "Youyou, the courtesy cannot be discarded. Call someone."

Bo Ruoyou stepped forward and said, "Uncle, aunt, cousin."

She looked as usual. At first glance, she seemed to be quite gentle and delicate. But if she looked deeper, she could see that their sudden visit did not cause any waves in her heart.

Bo Yixian had been looking at Bo Ruoyou. At this moment, she stood up and took off a bracelet from her wrist, "Second sister, I didn't expect it was you. If I had known it was you, we would have recognized each other earlier. This This is my favorite bracelet, and I gave it to you as a meeting gift."

Bao Ruoyou turned to look at Cheng Yunzhi, who smiled and said, "Take it, there's nothing you can't afford."

Bao Ruoyou took it away, thanked him, and stood next to the arm of Cheng Yunzhi's chair.

Bao Jingqian noticed the indifference between their father and daughter, coughed slightly and said, "You went to the Lin family. When the juniors were walking around, we heard that a father and daughter were visiting, so we guessed it, and then it was really surprising. After making some inquiries, when we thought it was you who were back, we immediately came to see if it was you, but we didn't expect it to be true."

Bao Jingqian sighed, "It suddenly occurred to me that twelve years have passed. Time is not forgiving. You and I are getting old. Youyou was still sick when she left, but now she is as good as Yuetang." Then he turned around and looked, "Where's Fangze?"

"She passed away." Speaking of his wife, Cheng Yunzhi became even more embarrassed, "This time only Youyou and I are back."

Bo Jingqian nodded, "My condolences." Even so, he didn't ask how he passed away. Instead, he said, "You guys have been back for many days and haven't gone home. It seems that you and Jing Xing are brothers. It’s the Bo family again, we are all our own, why don’t we go back to Bo’s house as soon as we come back?”

Looking around the yard, Bao Jingqian said again: "Although it is enough for you to live here, it is very shabby. Why don't you just move back to Bo's house? You have taken care of Youyou for many years, and it's up to us to take care of you in your old age." ."

Cheng Yunzhi laughed silently, "Jing Qian, why do you speak like this? I am a straight-tempered person, and I don't need you to speak like this. I can't listen to your words, so just tell me. Why are you here today?" ”

Bao Jingqian looked embarrassed, "Yunzhi, I mean it sincerely, you...hey, why are you still such a bad tempered person." He went to see Bo Ruoyou again, "Well, if you don't want to follow us If we go back home, let Youyou go back with us. There is no reason for the daughter of the Bo family to live outside. If this spreads, how will the outside talk about us?"

Cheng Yunzhi sneered, "What a high-sounding statement. If I really cared about Youyou so much, why didn't I care about you in the past ten years? These words about this matter only make people feel quite cold."

Seeing Cheng Yunzhi repeatedly refusing to give him a good tone, Bo Jingqian also frowned, "Yunzhi, it's not that we didn't send people to Qingzhou back then. We did, but you drove us away. We don't care about you. With that look, we know you don't want to see the people sent by the capital, so we didn't bother you. Besides, we can rest assured that we will leave Youyou to you."

"Oh? So you told the outside world that Youyou will never return to Beijing again, and you also put the marriage originally planned for her on your own daughter?"

Cheng Yunzhi was merciless, and his words seemed to step on Bo Jingqian's sore foot, which immediately made him angry, "Yunzhi! Don't talk nonsense, the marriage was decided for the daughter of the Bo family, but Not my little niece——"

Seeing him confusing right and wrong, Cheng Yunzhi's anger that had dissipated emerged again, and he sneered, "Jing Qian, you are also an official in Hanchuang who studied hard for many years, how can you be so unreasonable in what you say? Although Youyou’s parents have passed away, Lin Huai is not dead yet. Do you want to call him in for a serious confrontation?”

These words made Bao Jingqian choke, but he quickly laughed mockingly: "I asked you why you came back. So, you came back for this marriage?" He glanced at Bo Ruoyou and said, "Listen You said your little niece is working as a widower in the government office now?"

He shook his head and sighed: "Yunzhi, we were relieved when we handed over Youyou to you, but you actually let a little girl do the work. You really betrayed our trust. She But she is the daughter of the Bo family, and she is a lowly servant. You have abused her in vain... and she does this. Not to mention the Lin family, even an ordinary scholarly family cannot accept her as a daughter-in-law. Yun Zhi, You can’t blame others, not to mention that there has been no news from you for many years, so how can this marriage be counted?”

Cheng Yunzhi never expected that Bao Jingqian would be so shameless now. He took a deep breath to suppress his anger. He knew what Bo Jingqian cared about most, so he said, "It's not true that we came back for marriage. , not only that, I also tell you, this marriage should have been quiet, but now we don’t care about it, you can take it if you want it.”

"It's just that this marriage was not destined for your daughter back then, but it was a clear matter. From now on, whoever asks, I will answer like this. In addition, I also advise you not to come to our door with such an attitude. Talk to the police, otherwise, the destiny you compiled will become the laughing stock of the entire capital."

Bao Jingqian did not expect that Cheng Yunzhi would not give him any face. Just when he was about to get angry, the door of Cheng's house was knocked again. Zhou Liang hurriedly ran to open the door...
