"This is my sister’s house."
As a "creaking" door suddenly came out from the inside, a slim girl from delicate and graceful came out with a birdbath and poured water. When she turned around, she looked at the plaque hanging high and suddenly sighed sadly. "Young master, where are you …"
There was a sudden acid in my nose and a hydrothermal flow in my eyes. "Sister gave it to me …" Hugh handed me a handkerchief. I took it and wiped my face and tears. I took a deep breath and said, "Let’s go and find a place to live first." "Aren’t we going home?" He asked me to lie on my side and said, "We can’t go back to this home …"
In the evening, we found an inn in the street of Wangfu. After dinner, I led Hugh out of the door and put an envelope in his arms at the corner opposite the government. "Hugh knocked on the door and gave this to a sister named Liu Yan and then asked her to give the letter to Fan Yi. Go back to my sister and wait for you."
Looking at Hugh knocking at the door and going in, I retreated into the lane and stared at the sky against the wall. This lane was originally where Lu Tianlong wanted to be thin and thin, and so was my place. I met Ann Shisan less than a year later, and now I think of these as if I were a lifetime ago …
The gate creaked again, and the girl who poured water on Hugh Day came out together and hurried here to catch the smoke. I stepped out of the lane and called out the first-class smoke with tears in my eyes. When I called, I immediately fell to my knees and said, "Miss!"
I was also excited and pulled her up for a long time. "Why are you so thin?" "Miss also lost weight … Miss face …" She said and began to cry. I sighed. "This is not a place to talk. Where is the letter? Did you give it to Fan Yi? "
"Fan Yi went out and the handmaiden gave the letter to Luo Yi ―― Luo Yi followed, but the handmaiden worried that Fan Yi would not know when she came back and let her stay in the house."
"It’s inconvenient for you to see more, so you should go back here for a long time, lest people be suspicious."
Smoke reluctantly left, and I took Hugh back to the inn
It didn’t take long for Fan Yi to knock on the window and come in. "Little Miss!" As soon as he landed, he fell to his knees and couldn’t afford to lie down. When Hugh saw this situation, he stretched out his hand and pulled my sleeve to hide behind me. I helped Fan Yi "get up."
When he got up, he was already in tears. He was too excited to speak for a moment. I took a sip of my lips and led Hugh out. "Sister Hugh has something to say to this brother. You should go to the house and rest first."
Fan Yi confused looking at Hugh said "this child is? ――”
"Words to …"
My oil lamp told him in detail what happened after leaving Beijing. His face kept changing as he listened. When he heard that Qingyang was dead, he couldn’t help but hold the case tightly. When he heard that I was grounded by An Thirteen in the camp, he was even more angry, patting the table and biting his teeth. Finally, he talked about my face scar. I took a sip of tea and told the whole story about falling off the cliff together with the one saved by Loapo.
"This damn Ann thirteen! I must break him to pieces! " He looked at my face with a cackle of Kouga’s bite, and tightened his eyebrows to ease his mood. I raised my lips and uncovered the scar on my face. "This is what I did to hide my eyes and ears. The original injury has been healed."
"But … after all, he almost killed the young lady. I have to settle this account with him!" He was relieved a little, but he was still gnashing his teeth. I sighed, "If you want to calculate this account, you have to come to the end … I can’t settle his grievances for a while!"
Fan Yi opened his mouth and kept silent. I asked, "Let’s talk about the secret affairs first-where did the eldest brother and the emperor go?"
"After the front line was defeated by the Eastern European Army, the gentleman and Lu Shuai led the handsome soldiers to retreat to the secluded place and struggled to hold the gate. Lu Shuai personally attacked the enemy’s backstabbing and died because of his injuries. After grief, the emperor used his personal expedition to command the battle. After five days, the gate was finally broken by An Ruoting personally, protecting the emperor and returning to the palace. Seeing that the Eastern European Army had attacked the palace for a big week, he tried to hurt himself in the palace. When the young master was fine, he arrived and took the sword from the emperor."
"What happened later?" I can’t hide urgently asked
Fan Yi stared at the lights and grieved. "When I heard the ninety-nine drums coming from the palace that night, I knew that the Eastern European army had successfully captured the imperial city. At that time, the emperor’s young master had been martyred, and he led the people to worship their ancestors in the ancestral temple. Unexpectedly, when he was crying all over the room, the gentleman suddenly broke into the courtyard with the injured emperor. I dare not hesitate to take them into the back room and take refuge in the house for a day and a night. Later, he was searching the emperor’s young master and the emperor quietly in the early hours of the third day. When I left the mansion, I didn’t even tell Xiao to leave a note telling Xiao to take good care of the house without expecting him to come back. If necessary, he will come to me and ask Xiao to find out about Miss Li when the wind is light-"
"Then there was no news again?" My chest is a little cold, shaking hands together. "Did they meet officers and men when they fled? And where the hell did they go? Did you find out about these later? "
"Since they left, I haven’t heard from them for a few days, and I’m worried about whether they have gone out of the city safely to inquire about Zeng Street, but I haven’t heard about the arrest of suspicious people."
I hung my head in great anxiety for a long time and asked about the situation in the house. "Who is left now?"
"Everyone except Lao Jin and his wife returned to their hometown."
"Well …" I nodded and asked, "How much silver is there in the house now?"
"The gentleman took five hundred and twenty when he left … and there should be five thousand and two hundred-the five hundred and two thousand silver tickets in the past were all abolished because of the closure of the bank, so there are these silver now."
I gave a way, "Save some money and stay for a few days. I can’t live in Qinghuai anymore. I’m worried that I’ll find a door. I’ll dismiss the rest of you in the morning after you go back, except for the smoke and Luo Yi. Let them make a living separately!" We’ll find another place to live. When you’re done, let Xinger and them pack up some belongings and then you can come here later. "
"Little yes!"
After Fan Yi left, I secretly hurt myself in the night before returning to the house and lying in my clothes. Hugh suddenly opened his eyes and looked at me calmly. "Sister, you are the daughter of a high official. Are you darling daughter?" I froze and pursed my lips and replied, "My sister and dad are dead, and my sister is no longer darling daughter."
"But just now that big brother knelt down to his sister and called him Miss Sister."
"That’s … that’s because big brother is a loyal man."
"Sister, general, will my sister stop Hugh after my brother comes back?" He asked me suddenly, and the loneliness and help in my eyes startled me.
I helped him sit up, put my hand on his shoulder and said to him seriously, "Hugh, listen, you are my sister’s favorite brother and sister will never leave Hugh."
