Chapter 150 Eight Treasures Makeup 04
Huo Qinghong cursed secretly and turned around to leave. When he walked out of the green shade, he couldn't help but look back.
The birds' feathers were bright and dazzling, and they were still wandering in the shade of the trees and the mottled afterglow. A chill suddenly arose in his heart, and he hurried to the side hall again. There were many birds in the garden. Although there were no bird cages in front of him, But you can still hear the chirping sound in the distance, and the bird's feathers are gorgeous, and it is not ordinary at first glance. I don't know what tricks Zhao Yue is playing. Isn't it fun to kill birds?
He waited for a while, and Nan'an County Prince Zhao Yue came over with his entourage and a birdcage. He had just arrived in his thirties and had been a wealthy and idle man for many years. Now he was a little fat. When he saw Huo Qing Hong then smiled and stepped forward to pull him.
"Said you have arrived, I asked people to invite you directly to the banquet pavilion, but they said you have no intention of attending the banquet, okay, then I will come to invite you personally, will you go?"
Huo Qinghong was pulled forward two steps and stopped with all his strength, "Your Majesty, I really don't have much time left today."
Zhao Yue turned around and looked at him suspiciously with alcohol-stained eyes, "Why? We all know each other today. You complained of illness a few days ago, and we haven't been together for half a year."
Huo Qinghong just looked at the cage in the attendant's hand, "I'm just here to get the green bird. I have something to do tonight. You know, my eldest brother is back."
When mentioning Huo Wei Tower, the strength in Nan'an County Prince's hand froze. He tugged at his lips and said, "Oh yes, the Marquis is back. Forget it, I'll call Feng Ye another day and let's meet again in these two days. Feng Ye followed his father out of the city, but couldn't find anyone."
As he said that, he took the cage and opened the outer curtain. As expected, the green sparrow inside had a pair of smart eyes open, very lively.
"Here, I'll feed you. If you tease me more, this bird will understand human nature."
Huo Qinghong responded, took the birdcage and left the Bird Garden, got on the carriage, and put the birdcage to his side, causing the bird to chirp twice. Huo Qinghong couldn't help but flick it. Cage, sighed softly.
Even if he refuses to socialize, he has to use his eldest brother’s name to choose a yamen, and he has to choose the easiest one. Now the eldest brother is still interested in getting married...
Huo Qinghong held the cage in front of him and hummed: "Let's live together in the future. Well, there is also a white cat."
The green sparrow in the cage shook its wings but did not dare to sing.
At dusk, Lin Zhao returned from the Yamen. As soon as he walked to the door of Lin Mansion, he saw a carriage parked outside the door. He frowned and was about to ask his entourage to drive the carriage to the side door, but It's too late.
Bo Yixian, who was lifting the curtain and looking around, saw him.
She eagerly jumped out of the carriage and stopped his carriage eagerly, "Brother Zhao, I have been waiting for you for a long time, and finally I see you."
Lin Zhao got off the carriage, feeling unspeakable in his heart, "What's the matter?"
Bo Yixian's heart skipped a beat. She had been waiting for many days, but she still hadn't even entered the Lin Mansion. Lin Zhao seemed to be avoiding her. She was waiting at the front door, so he went to the side door. She went to the side door, and he went to the front door again. .
Tears welled up in Bo Yixian's eyes, "Aunt Lin is unwilling to forgive me and my mother?"
Lin Zhao turned sideways and did not look into her eyes, "My mother is still recovering from illness and has no time to think about this."
Bo Yixian took a step forward and said, "Then please give me a chance. My mother and I will come to apologize. There is no need to bring the wedding date forward. Everything will be according to Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin. What do you think?"
The last ray of afterglow disappeared in the sky, and the light ink-like darkness shrouded the night, which also made Lin Zhao's eyes cold. He suddenly asked: "Back then, why did the Bo family and the Lin family want to get engaged to you and me?"
A chill ran up from the soles of Bo Yixian's feet, and she barely had time to think. She blurted out: "Because our families are family friends, and Brother Zhao and I are similar in age, my father and Uncle Lin asked someone to calculate our birthdays. Brother Zhao and I are a perfect match, so the two families just started thinking about getting married."
Lin Zhao turned to look at Bo Yixian. She had been suffering a lot recently, her face was slightly thinner, her brows were furrowed with bitterness, and her eyes were filled with tears. She looked at him innocently and sadly. No one would see such pear blossoms with rain. All girls have to be soft-hearted, and her eyes that never dodge seem to be quite frank and fearless.
But Lin Zhao knew she was lying.
She lied with no guilt, and even acted like this. Lin Zhao couldn't tell whether her tears were real or fake for a while. The last trace of gentleness disappeared from his eyes, "Go back to the house."
Bo Yixian saw Lin Zhao's disappointment, and when she saw him turning around and heading towards the door of the mansion, a huge panic suddenly arose in her heart, as if Lin Zhao would never see her again once he entered the door. Bo Yixian rushed to catch up. "Brother Zhao, you know everything, right?"
Lin Zhao paused slightly, and Bo Yixian became more and more sure of his suspicion, "You know what happened back then, and you know that I wasn't the one who originally got engaged to you. Brother Zhao, do you care about this?"
Lin Zhao did not look back, and Bo Yixian burst into tears, "Do you blame me for lying to you? It was indeed the third uncle and his father who agreed to get married verbally first, but then something happened to them. It was only a year or two in between. Then We were all just young children at that time, so how could such a thing count? Later, the second sister left Beijing, and everyone thought she would never come back, so we changed the engagement between you and me. Brother Zhao asked me, and what I said was true. I just don’t want to mention others, so why am I wrong?”
Lin Zhao wanted to be persuaded by Bo Yixian for a moment, but he always felt uncomfortable, suffocated and panicked in his heart, as if he was the one who made the mistake.
Bo Yixian said again: "Brother Zhao and I have been engaged for several years, and Brother Zhao also knows my feelings. How can our friendship for more than ten years be comparable to others? Brother Zhao is now concerned about this matter. Could it be that someone else said it?" What? Is... the second sister regretted it?"
Before Lin Zhao spoke, Bo Yixian felt that she had guessed correctly again. There was a loud bang in her ears, and she was filled with anger. After Bo Jingqian was convicted, the Bo family's ancestral home was ransacked, and she was treated coldly by Lin Zhao for more than a month. At this moment Finally found the crux of the problem, "Second sister really regretted it? I knew that it must be because Marquis Wu Zhao had not returned to the capital before. Everyone thought that something had happened to him in the southwest, so she thought about Brother Zhao again. This must be the case. I I just thought that her earlier appearance of not caring was just an act, and she couldn't really let go..."
Lin Zhao looked at Bo Yixian in disbelief. He had never seen Bo Ruoyou in the past half month, and Cheng Yunzhi came to the Lin Mansion several times for medical treatment and never brought Bo Ruoyou with him. He used to treat Bo Ruoyou quite well. Concerned, after learning about the engagement that year, she was not as calm as usual. However, Bo Yixian was able to speculate on Bo Ruoyou with such malice.
Lin Zhao was so angry that he couldn't scold him with any vulgar words. He just looked at Bo Yixian coldly and said, "You... you are simply unreasonable! What does this matter have to do with the second sister? I haven't done that for many days. Seeing her, how can you blame others for this?"
He took a deep breath and finally said what was deep in his heart: "Back then, it was the second sister who made the engagement with the Lin family first. Later, after many twists and turns, it was changed to the engagement between you and me. Although it is not your fault, you don't have any regrets in your heart. Ashamed?"
Bo Yixian cried: "Ashamed? Why should I be ashamed of her? She left the capital on her own, and her third uncle didn't write the marriage letter. If we want to blame her, we can only blame her for her bad luck. How can we blame me?" I didn’t feel sorry for anyone!”
At this point, she didn't know what she thought of, and said anxiously: "Yes...it was her bad fate. Brother Zhao, you don't know. She was destined to be evil and killed her father, mother and younger brother. If she doesn't come back, Beijing, maybe nothing will happen to my father. How can a disaster star like her marry Brother Zhao? In the past, the Taoist priests said that she was a short-lived person. She was not worthy of Brother Zhao at all. We have been engaged for many years, and the old things between you and me are I have nothing to do with it, Brother Zhao, what do you care about her?"
Lin Zhao looked at Bo Yixian as if he were a stranger, "How dare you think like this... That's all. You and I don't agree with each other, and I have nothing to say to you, so just go away——"
Bo Yixian was even more frightened when she heard this. When she was about to step forward, Lin Zhao turned around and entered the mansion as if running away. Bo Yixian wanted to chase her again, but was stopped by the attendant. She burst into tears for a moment, causing Lin Zhao to The attendants all looked disgusted.
Soon, the door of Lin Mansion was closed tightly. Bo Yixian stood outside, calling out to Lin Zhao helplessly, but there was no chance of a response from inside the door. She was so noisy that people walking on the long street started to stare at her. Lin Mansion pointed at her, but she didn't pay attention. She stayed until it was dark, and then was forced to leave by the maid.
Lin Zhao walked quickly to the upper room. When he entered the inner room, he only hesitated for a moment and said to Chu Shuning: "Mom, I hope father and mother will think twice about the marriage with the Bo family."
……
Huo Weilou meant it when he said he would recuperate in the palace. The affairs of the southwest were temporarily left to Ning Xiao, and he had little to do with matters in the court. Unless Fuquan entered the palace with an order, he just took the carriage Go back to the palace.
Emperor Jianhe was originally worried that he would harbor resentment towards Zhao Xi when he took over the throne, but when he saw that he remained calm, he felt relieved.
Bao Ruoyou was now close to the Hou Mansion, and he was concerned about Huo Weilou's old injuries. He went to visit the Hou Mansion every day. When he entered the Hou Mansion that day, he saw that there were many craftsmen in the house, and it seemed that they wanted to rebuild the scenery of the house.
Bo Ruoyou was confused in his heart. When he asked Eunuch Fu, he smiled and said: "The Marquis said that the house has lost some vitality, and the house has not been touched since it was given to the Marquis. Now it is renovated and renovated. It’s easy to organize happy events.”
Eunuch Fu looked at Bo Ruoyou with a smile, and embarrassment suddenly appeared on her face. Eunuch Fu pointed to several long-vacant pavilions in the mansion, "The Marquis said that there is no need for too many pavilions in the mansion, so he ordered someone to That area will be demolished, some waterside pavilions and ponds will be built in the south of the Yangtze River, and some beautiful flowers and trees will be moved. We, the Marquis, will definitely like it in the future."
Bo Ruoyou's cheeks are even redder. Although she was born in the capital, she grew up in the south of the Yangtze River. If you have to tell the difference, the scenery in the south is indeed more pleasing to the eye. Huo Weilou has this intention, and Eunuch Fu naturally sees it clearly. Only then can you tell her and listen.
When he entered the study, he saw Huo Weilou writing notes behind the desk. When he saw her coming, his eyes burst into laughter, and he pulled her into his arms to teach her how to write cursive.
When Bao Ruoyou asked about what was going on outside, Huo Weilou took her hand and wrote on Bai Xuan, saying gently: "I didn't care about this at first, not to mention that the house is full of men, and the scenery is beautiful and ugly. They are very different, but they will be different in the future."
The ink was so powerful that it penetrated the back of the paper. Bo Ruoyou looked at the words painted with iron and silver hooks on the paper, and felt that the real words were just like the person he was. But when she looked back, she saw that his eyes were gentle, calm and majestic, which made people feel at ease.
Huo Weilou's heart was like a lake, nothing to do with the wind and the moon, but he couldn't help but look at her. Her clear and bright eyes were now filled with charming magic. He made her unable to control her eyes. Bai Xuan's hands went to her waist. It was not enough to hold her in his arms, so he took advantage of the convenience of this posture and lowered his head to kiss her ear.
Bao Ruoyou trembled as if he had been burned, and felt that half of his body was weak.
Shame crawled up her cheeks, and soon even her ears turned red. She pushed Huo Weilou in annoyance, but Huo Weilou's pupils became hot. He put down his pen dipped in thick ink and held her in his arms. Zhong sat on the open chair behind him.
"It only took a moment..."
He came very close, leaned forward again, and wanted to kiss you, but before they met, Mr. Fu from outside said: "Master Hou, Wu arrester from the government office is here, saying he is here to see Youyou——"
Bo Ruoyou pushed him away in shock and stood up. Fortunately, Eunuch Fu didn't come in, so he didn't see the unseemly behavior in the room.
She responded and walked out quickly. Huo Weilou followed him very dissatisfied.
Wu Xiang was waiting in the main hall, very anxious and a little scared. If it was not very urgent, he would not dare to come to the Hou Mansion to look for someone. When he heard the footsteps, he turned around quickly and saw Bao Ruoyou coming out.
Bao Ruoyou was obviously wearing an ordinary dress, but for some reason, Wu Xiang felt that Bao Ruoyou looked particularly good-looking today. He couldn't tell where it was so good-looking, so he said anxiously: "Xiao Bo, something has come out from the south of the city. Case, are you free now to do the autopsy?"
After he finished speaking, Huo Weilou also walked out. Wu Xiang hurriedly saluted, and Huo Weilou asked: "What case is it?"
"Someone died in Prince Nan'an's garden."
When he heard that it was the Prince of Nan'an County, Huo Weilou's eyes moved slightly, and he went to see Bo Ruoyou again. Bo Ruoyou was naturally going to do an autopsy, so Huo Weilou ordered people to prepare carriages and horses, "I'll go and have a look too. ”
Wu Xiang's heart suddenly rose to his throat, Huo Weilou said softly: "Don't worry, I and the prince are also old friends, just go and care for him."
Wu Xiang wiped the sweat from his forehead and responded repeatedly.
Bao Ruoyou actually felt that there was no need to go to Huo Wei Tower, but he couldn't resist it. When he got on the carriage, Bao Ruoyou had no choice but to say, "Master Marquis will follow. Those who don't know think that something big has happened in the capital. I'm afraid that Nan'an County The king himself was very surprised, how could the Marquis be brought to labor in an ordinary human life case?"
"The Prince of Nan'an is the only son of Prince Xian, and he is also a cousin to me. Why can't I go?" He pinched Bo Ruoyou's cheek, a little bit annoyed, "It can be seen that the Yamen's case is more important than mine. I It’s going to be a hindrance if you follow me?”
Bo Ruoyou smiled, "Master Hou knows that is not what I meant."
"Then you think it's too ostentatious for me to go with you?"
Bao Ruoyou didn't answer immediately, Huo Weilou raised his eyebrows, "I'm going to show off."
The place where the crime occurred was the Bird Garden. When the carriage stopped, Huo Weilou saw the garden plaque at a glance. His eyes were filled with surprise. As he walked in, he said: "The Prince of Nan'an County has been a wealthy man for many years. Idle people only like to raise rare birds. This garden was specially built for this purpose. He often invites people to come here to enjoy the scenery and play with the birds. There are many ways to listen to music and sing operas. When it is lively, he plays and sings every night."
Bo Ruoyou looked at him suspiciously, "Master Hou also comes here to play and sing every night?"
There was a smile in Huo Weilou's eyes, and he sneered slightly. Before he could answer, Zhao Yue came out in surprise, "Why are you here, Lord Marquis? In the past, I couldn't help you in any way -"
Huo Weilou glanced at Bo Ruoyou to show his innocence. Zhao Yue followed his gaze and looked over, even more surprised. Huo Weilou greeted him first, and then said that Bo Ruoyou was the coroner who came to do the autopsy. .
If these words hadn't come from Huo Weilou's mouth, Zhao Yue would have almost thought that the government office was joking, because Bo Ruoyou described her appearance as beautiful and extraordinary, and how could she be like the widower in the government office who was with the dead?
He looked at Bo Ruoyou for a moment before looking away. After all, the case was important, so he immediately led people to the depths of the garden. The servants in the garden had long been cleared away. At this moment, there was no one on the path. When he turned around a hibiscus forest, The expressions of Huo Weilou and Bo Ruoyou changed slightly.
A few feet away, a century-old osmanthus tree stands majestically, with osmanthus flowers in full bloom. Amid the fragrant fragrance of flowers, a young man wearing colorful feathers is hanging from the branch.
His neck was crooked and his body was stiff. He had obviously been hanging for a long time.
The rope used to hang the deceased was so thin that it penetrated the flesh and made blood appear. It seemed to have broken the neck bones of the deceased. There were servants building wooden ladders under the tree. The treetops trembled when they collided with each other, making the corpse underneath also lighten. Swaying slightly, the sun was high in the sky, and the feathers on the deceased's colorful clothes flashed with dazzling brilliance, just like many living birds perched on them.
