Leisurely Moon Pavilion

Tooth, "My son is also under house arrest in the Imperial Hospital..."

Tang Duhan smiled, "Can you walk around the palace with me?"

"It's pitch black outside at four o'clock, my lord?"

"It's good to light the lamp when it's dark, it's not because people's hearts are dark." Tang Duhan sighed.

Guiyun lit a red lantern and walked in front of Tang Duhan, and the two walked around the corridors to the imperial study room, which was brightly lit from outside.

Report to the eunuch outside the house.

"Are you recovering?"

The new lord sat in the former emperor's couch and bowed his head to read the chapters. What Tang Duhan saw was the same as the previous days.

"The fourth watch is in the imperial study, the emperor got up so early?"

"Slept too late." The speaker continued to lower his head without raising his eyes.

"So hardworking, no wonder I can sit here now."

"Perhaps hard work can make up for one's weakness." The new owner said with a smile.

"Six princes?"

"You can go out at any time, but he can't." The voice was steady, "There is no need to say more."

Tang Duhan smiled wryly, "The emperor's design is so ingenious, knowing that he can only jump into the fire pit."

"Since you already know it, I have nothing to say. I have hurt you innocently and offended you."

"The emperor's brotherhood and father-son relationship can be discarded, tricks and poisons can be used. Of course, a pawn like me doesn't need to worry about it."

Only then did the new master raise his head, "The censer has been destroyed, you don't have to plan to cause any trouble with this matter, let alone think that you can threaten me to release the sixth brother."

"The emperor is so meticulous in his work, so I naturally never even thought about it. It's just that people say that the sky net is restored. Is the emperor afraid of going to bed late at night and dreaming about the emperor's sudden death?"

The new master waved his hand, "I have said enough, before dawn, maybe you can still see Mr. Xun."

Tang Duhan knelt down and said, "There is one more thing I want to ask. That day, the third prince pretended to be a commoner and ran into Youfeng in the Xianyue Pavilion. Was it also arranged early in the morning?"

"Is it important?"

"The guilty minister already knows the answer, and he understands more and more that he is not the emperor's opponent. I just ask the emperor, for the sake of success now, don't let everything go too far."

"Don't worry, I won't kill him."

Tang Duhan bowed again, "Thank you, Your Majesty Long En."

When Tong Guiyun came out from the palace, there was already a little light in the sky.Gui Yun instructed the bearers to move faster, while he was booing beside Tang Duhan to ask for his warmth.

The bearer got the order, and there was no one on the street at this time, so he ran wildly all the way, Tang Duhan sat quietly in the sedan chair and almost vomited due to the jolt.

"Young master, if you bear with it, it will be here soon."

"It's okay."

The square sedan chair finally stopped in front of the gate of the Xun Mansion with shingled eaves, and the paper lanterns on both sides burned all night long.The servant opened the door, and Tang Duhan walked into the back room behind Guiyun.

Xun Yiyang had already woken up, packed his bags and was practicing calligraphy.

After Guiyun walked out of the house for a while, Tang Duhan saw Xun Yiyang alone.

The man was wearing a military uniform, covered in armor, his long hair was tied up, and his helmet hadn't been put on yet, only his face was exposed.Tang Duhan looked at the person in front of him. His face had hardly changed over the years, except for a few wrinkles around his eyes, his eyes were still bright and clear, his brows were peaked into his temples, and under his straight nose bridge were two thin lips with little blood.

Tang Duhan approached, and punched hard on the right cheek with all his strength, his voice was full of crying and anger, "It's all you!"

Xun Yiyang didn't wipe away the blood that flowed from the corner of his mouth due to the sudden collision between his teeth and his cheek, "After all, the young lady in Xianyue Pavilion is full of fists and legs."

"It's all you!" Tang Duhan burst into tears, and the anger, depression, grievance, and sadness that had been suppressed in his heart for several days all flowed out in these cries, and his body only knew how to beat the face in front of him. You were the one who entered the palace, you were the one who met the sixth prince, and you were the one who betrayed the third prince."

"I was originally doing things for the third prince, so I can't be counted as a traitor." Xun Yiyang pulled down his hands, "I redeemed you from Xianyue Pavilion in order to completely uproot the sixth prince today."

"The Xun family is the queen's mother's family, but you help outsiders?"

"Because everyone thinks this way, I have never been suspected by the sixth prince." Xun Yiyang stood aside and watched Tang Duhan slump into the pear flower wooden chair with exhausted strength, "Don't you know that the family has the most quarrels? How many things did the empress do to bring down the former empress, and she was even dragged into the Xun Mansion to be buried with her, how can I swallow my anger?"

"So you drag Mrs. Xun, Xiaosong, Guangling, and I all on the back?" Tang Dufu's face was already tangled up with his name, and he yelled, "You are extremely shameless."

"They are all under your acquiescence. If you didn't want to save the sixth prince and obey us, everyone else could be saved."

"Do you think it's really important for the emperor to go to the north to lead troops? If you die here, no one can tell. The third prince is decisive and cautious, and there is no guarantee that you will be eliminated."

Xun Yiyang smiled, "He even let you out, I don't believe he will still harm me."

"Are these Mongolian soldiers in the north?" Tang Duhan asked.

"Yes, the Mongolian soldiers are brave and good at fighting, and I may not be able to win."

Tang Duhan was silent.

Xunyi Yang opened the window and saw that it was already light outside the house, "You and Gui Yun can live together in Xun Mansion, there is no one to take care of other places now."

After saying that, Xun Yiyang stepped out of the threshold, and Gui Yun entered the house.

"Leave me alone, go say goodbye to him." Tang Duhan said softly.

"I believe Master Xun will return safely."

Tang Duhan pushed Guiyun out the door, "Go, it's never wrong to say goodbye a little longer."

☆, Hidden Pavilion

Taking advantage of Guiyun's departure, Tang Duhan came to the West Wing of the Xun Mansion.

The pine trees outside the west wing tower into the sky, and the neatly planted plum groves on both sides rolled out a few solitary red plums, whose flowering period has passed and no one appreciates them.In the corner of the bookshelf in the room, the calligraphy and books copied at the request of Xun Yiyang are still piled up on the side. When Tang Du's letter is occasionally read, it is the joint poem of the six princes when he first saw the six princes in the west chamber that day. More than ten years old, the original white rice paper has turned yellowish, and even the grass pulp used to make the paper can be vaguely seen.

The west wing remains the same, but the old friend is no more.

"My lord, Master Xun arranged for you to live here." Gui Yun's voice sounded from behind.

"No need, I'm leaving." Tang Duhan coughed and waved his hands. His throat, which had not been wet for a long time, suddenly ached from a cough. His throat felt like a razor was being scraped back and forth. He wanted to say something, but he only spit out Bloodshot sputum.

Gui Yun argued anxiously, "The young master's body has not recovered yet, and now he returns to Ninglu without anyone to take care of him."

I was speechless twice.

"Gui Yun, can you bring me a basin of charcoal fire?"

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, Tang Duhan ordered the calligraphy and books to be tidied up, and only folded a certain page and put it into the sleeve, for fear of damaging it.

When Gui Yun came back, he was holding a ferret cloak in both hands, and behind him were two young servants, one of whom was holding a pot of charcoal fire. The hot and passionate flames swished upwards, attracting the sweat that was dripping down from the top, falling into the fire like moths. The bottom of the basin; another person carried a square plate, "Guiyun knew that the young master never liked to drink strong alcohol, so he made some wine to drive the Lantern Festival to drive away the cold, and he had already ordered the kitchen to stew pears with rock sugar, and the young master was resting in Xunfu. "

"Thank you," Tang Duhan squatted, feeding stacks of rice paper into the greedy tongue of fire with his right hand, watching the brazier swallow the yellowed rice paper like a magic trick and then spit out black paper ash with sparks.

"Son..."

"Burn it up, clean it up," Tang Duhan continued to add to the fire, "From then on, we all separated. You think I won't say much, but we won't get involved in the future."

"My lord," Gui Yun knelt down, two lines of hot tears splashed wet the soil and fainted, "That day was already decided, and I just wanted to help Mr. Xun fulfill his long-cherished wish. Gui Yun didn't ask for your forgiveness. But I beg you not to think about the old entanglement, and stay in the Xun Mansion for the time being to recuperate. Now that you return to Ninglu, you have no salary to spend, and no servants to serve you. You just coughed up blood. Even if you don’t do it for yourself, you have to think about everything. One day in the future, the emperor released the sixth prince for a while, so he must be ordered to meet with him, right?"

"It's okay, I'm used to it by myself." Tang Duhan has already stepped out of the threshold in small steps, thinking that he has been fighting alone in modern life for more than ten years, so he won't even be able to survive now.

"Young Master..." Gui Yun came out after him, knelt down on the ground again, bowed his head with both palms and bowed, "Even if you don't live in the Xun Mansion, please let Gui Yun return to Ninglu to continue to take care of Young Master, Young Master adopted him." A great kindness is hard to repay."

Tang Duhan looked at Gui Yun's eager eyes and was slightly touched, but he only continued to move his steps, and said in a cold voice, "No need."

"Young master, even Brother Xiaosong's spirit in the sky would not wish that young master is now alone, sick and tired of daily chores, returning to the cloud..."

Tang Duhan lowered his head and glanced again, "If I have any difficulties, I will come to Xun Mansion to look for you again. I will go to Xianyue Pavilion to see if there is still a need for a luthier. I can barely earn three meals a day." He stood upright in the West Chamber In front of the door, the snow under the towering trees finally turned into a clear spring and trickled towards the lower pond.

Tang Duhan turned around and walked towards the gate of Xun Mansion.The melted ice water soaked Luo Qun and hit her loose hair. Gui Yun bowed her head behind Tang Duhan's back and kowtowed three times to the old owner who led her into this house.

Bypassing Zhining Lu and going directly to Xianyue Pavilion, it is likely that you will be born and die here.

"Hello, Uncle Chen, greetings from Youfeng."

"Your Majesty Tang has a prosperous official career, why do you call yourself friendly?" Uncle Chen, who has always been refined, also spoke harshly today.

"Let Uncle Chen joke that Guangling has passed away. Youfeng came today to ask Uncle Chen if there is still a vacancy in the position of Guangling luthier in the past? Youfeng begs Uncle Chen to give him a bowl of rice." Tang Duhan felt that he had never This kind of low-level flattery has been done before, but people have to follow the rules when they are under the roof.

"There are a lot of people out there who want this position, what should I ask you to do?" Chen Shuwu sat drinking tea by himself.

"My piano skills are all taught by Guangling. The guests in Xianyue Pavilion must be used to Guangling playing the piano. They suddenly changed their tastes. Maybe everyone can accept it?" Tang Duhan sat down and took it out from behind. Guangling's Changqin started to play, and seeing Uncle Chen's expression change, he said, "I heard from Guangling that Uncle Chen was welcoming a newcomer, and he seemed to be called Jingfeng? The second Ran Nan, I am usually free, and I am very willing to teach, and I think that Uncle Chen will serve you."

"Youfeng is smart after all, no matter, you live in Guangling and clean up the room before, the salary is the same as Guangling, teach Jingfeng well, Xianyue Pavilion does not lack old branches like you that have withered, but newcomers are all cash cows seedlings." Uncle Chen smiled decently, and at the same time asked Tang Duhan to prepare for the evening business.

Walking into the cleaning room, Guangling's clothes were washed and put in the box. The two of them were too different in stature to share, so they went back to Zhining Lu to pack their luggage.

Tang Duhan walked along the blue tiles of the low courtyard to the door, and the man in white stood erect beside the door.

"How long have you been waiting?" Tang Duhan asked as he opened the door.

Zhong Jingting replied lightly, "I heard that the third prince let you go, so I have been waiting."

"It's the emperor, I have to change my words now, maybe the walls have ears, and we have to go back to that cage just because of your inappropriate title." Tang Duhan closed the door and asked someone to sit down, "I don't know how to boil water, So there is no tea, please bear with me."

"What kind of tea is not important," Zhong Jingting asked in a low voice, "When will the sixth prince be rescued?"

"Wait."

"Wait?" Zhong Jingting was anxious, "What are you waiting for? Now we have no power and no one in the court. The emperor's plan is too poisonous. It is so difficult to turn around. Now, regardless of the sixth prince, we are almost everyone. Shouting and beating, what else is there to wait for? Who else can I trust, who else can I wait for?"

The snow outside the house was melting, and the snowdrops jumped down from the blue-tiled eaves and fell into the embrace of the mud. There was no stove, and the cold air came in through the crack of the door and blew on the two of them, trembling several times, rubbing their hands back and forth.

Tang Duhan pressed Zhong Jingting's hands and looked around, "Wait for him to fall, and wait for the Mongolian soldiers to come in."

Tang Duhan pressed Zhong Jingting's hands and looked around, "Wait for him to fall, and wait for the Mongolian soldiers to come in."

☆, Xie Hong

Jing Feng lay down on the bed, full of resentment towards Xianyue Pavilion.

Tang Duhan had heard enough, and walked to the window built against the adjacent street, sat down and wiped the body of the piano lightly, "Then I will start from the most basic ones, and Uncle Chen will take care of you whether you learn or not. I just teach."

With a glance of white eyes, Jing Feng didn't move, "Whatever."

After nearly half a month, Tang Duhan and Jingfeng became more and more acquainted. Although they can't talk about making friends, there are people in Xianyue Pavilion who can talk to each other since then.Looking back at my daily activities, I just taught and played the piano as usual, and occasionally went to Xunfu once or twice.Every day, Guiyun just embroidered female celebrities like he used to do in Zhining Luli, and whenever Tang Duhan came over, he would happily arrange food and wine.

Unable to resist, Tang Duhan had to sit down and have lunch, "The weather has suddenly turned cold these few days. I thought it would be sunny after the snow melted last time."

"It snowed heavily last night. I have already prepared some cotton clothes. I will send someone to send them to you later. It is cold and sick, so you must take care of yourself."

"Has Master Xun sent any letters?" Tang Duhan recalled the history of Mongolia's unification of the Central Plains, and Xun Yiyang was bound to die on the battlefield. He thought that although the past was not considered friendship, he could not bear it anyhow, so Come to ask Guiyun.

As soon as they opened their mouths, the two of them were slightly startled, it turned out that the dust had vanished, whether it was a holiday or not, today they were just like old friends.Tang Duhan thought of Xiaosong and Guangling again, his brows were slightly frowned, but he was more determined to take revenge on those people.

Gui Yun's eyes wandered, and his whole face drooped, "It's been nearly a month since I went there, and I haven't received any letters. It's so cold in the north, and I don't know if there are warm cotton clothes to wear." As he spoke, his voice was stained with sobs.

"Then have you asked anyone? There is a lot of news from the imperial court, maybe you can know something about it." Picking up a piece of bamboo shoot, it tastes refreshing and delicious. I haven't eaten such a meal in Xianyue Pavilion for a long time.

"Gui Yun is a girl, how can I recognize someone from the imperial court, and besides, we shouldn't show our faces in public," Gui Yun hesitated to speak.

"That's what you said." Tang Duhan nodded slightly, as if thinking of something again, "The few people I have made friends with in the palace have been sorted out now, so I can't help you with this."

"My lord," Gui Yun choked on his sobs.

"Dinner, since the matter has already happened, there is no need to go into it." Tang Duhan asked himself, but he was not really able to be so magnanimous.

When he returned to Xianyue Pavilion, Zhong Jingting was standing anxiously in the cleaning room and waiting, pacing back and forth, rubbing his hands together habitually, when he saw Tang Duhan opened the door, he immediately went forward to hold his hands, his voice choked Intermittently, "My sister's illness relapsed again this morning, but I can't even get the doctor's money."

"Let's go, it's important to go to the doctor first." Tang Duhan hurriedly took the silver bag, told the boy next to him to explain the reason to Uncle Chen, and the two went out to the medical clinic, and hired a fast horse to go to the western suburbs. Seeing Zhong Jingting's lameness in his right leg, Tang Duhan felt guilty and sad, "We can just sit together."

The white-clothed man turned his head and stared lonelyly at the fast red horse beneath him, without saying a word.

When I arrived at Shuanghu, I realized how far away the place was, and the surroundings were desolate, with heavy snow covering the roofs of dilapidated thatched huts. Tang Duhan suddenly thought of the sweet and greasy barley tea with milk. The comparison between the two made me sadder.Walking into the house, there is no furniture on the mud wall and mud platform. Even if there is any, it has already been pawned. The haughty attitude now has no choice but to bow its head and beg for help.

"Miss Zhong." Tang Duhan greeted each other according to the salute, and saw that the dignified Madam Xun in the past was now huddled in the straw mat and broken quilt, her hair was disheveled, her face was pale and sick, but she was still ready to stand up and return the salute.

Tang Duhan hurried over to help, and called the doctor to see a doctor.

"The body is too weak, coupled with year-round worries, and this winter is longer than usual. I'm afraid I won't be able to survive for a few days. Fortunately, these prescriptions are all taken with me. Let's take it first and see. If the weather gets warmer... Sigh."

This sigh nearly melted the people in the room.

After the doctor left, Zhong Jingting went to the corner to boil medicine, and Tang Duhan smelled it to understand what the breath of death was.

Miss Zhong beckoned Tang Duhan over, breathing weakly, "Mr. Tang, thank you very much."

Seeing her appearance, Tang Duhan was even more relieved, "I, maybe I shouldn't have followed the scheme of the Sixth Prince and involved you in it."

The sick and weak man who was lying on the couch smiled wryly, his complexion was as white as thin rice paper, and it was about to burst in an instant, "I am voluntary for any trouble. My whole life is aimed at protecting the Zhongfu, whether it is betraying the imperial concubine Jin or the third prince." The voice became more and more intermittent, and Tang Duhan hurriedly asked people to rest.

"I can't, I know, it won't be a few days. After all, the Zhongfu was not saved because of me. Fortunately, my younger brother is still alive, and I am already satisfied. Mr. Tang, I was in the Xunfu that day, and I asked Mr. Tang to take care of the family in private. Brother, now, what I want is nothing more than the same, there is no need to entangle any enmity, my brother is pure in nature, I really don't want him to repeat the mistakes of Xun Yiyang."

"My younger brother has no hope of studying and has no possessions. He has been doted on by his parents since he was a child, and his temper is a little perverse. After thinking about it, I can only trouble Mr. Tang to take care of him."

"Young Master Tang, I'm really sorry about the sixth prince."

Tang Duhan brushed the quilt, "It's all trivial matters, the most important thing is to take good care of your body."

"I know my physical condition. I thought that the last time the heavy snow melted, I finally looked forward to the winter and spring. Unexpectedly, the north wind is more severe and the cold snow is getting stronger. I can't make it through."

"Young Master Tang, from now on, thank you..."

Zhong Jingting brought over the medicine bowl, the pitch black medicine soup had a pungent bitter taste.

Miss Zhong was half lying down, took a few sips to finish the drink, and wiped the residue from the corners of her mouth, Zhong Jingting was beside her talking.

Walking out of the house, it is called Shuanghu Lake but actually one of them has dried up, and now there is only Shanhu Lake alone covered with ice and windy, Tang Duhan sat alone by the lake thinking about recent events, whether he really wants to get rid of Chen Shuranan to take revenge What's the point? I came from the modern society. Whether revenge is revenge or not, it is just a piece of loess after all. The so-called revenge is just a personal obsession... In the cold winter months around the lakeside, there is no grass growing. Tang Duhan buried his head in the Her mind was more chaotic than her hair, and she turned around and bought some cooked food before returning to Shuanghu. They had a hasty dinner, and Miss Zhong only had two or three mouthfuls of porridge.

Zhong Jingting boiled medicine again, so he ate all the medicine as food.

It was night when I lived with Zhong Jingting, next to Miss Zhong's sickbed, barely lit the fire but it was still cold, Tang Duhan stayed up all night, "How could he survive until this day?"

Miss Zhong didn't say a word all night, she seemed to be struggling with no illness, the next day when it was daylight, Zhong Jingting got up to make medicine as usual, only to find that her sister had passed away quietly in the middle of the night...

☆, Wai Chen

A Taoist priest was invited to come and save, and a date was chosen for the funeral in two days.

Zhong Jingting was allowed to kneel in the thatched hut in Shuanghu to watch the spirit, and Tang Duhan returned to Xianyue Pavilion with his tired body.

Jing Feng was already sitting in the washing room.

Tang Duhan frowned, "I never allowed you to come in."

The person on the bed rolled his eyes, "But the residence of the luthier is not a counting house, why can't he come?"

Tang Duhan didn't bother to argue, "I'm very tired today, let's teach tomorrow."

"Uncle Chen told you to go play the piano in the hall as soon as you come back. The foreign violinists hired in the past few days have been paid out every day."

"It's deducted from my monthly money. I'm really tired today."

Jing Feng shrugged and got up from the bed to go out, and said suddenly, "The Wen Xie we talked about last time is dead."

Upon hearing the word "death", Tang Duhan's face became even more depressed, "What's going on?"

"The one who commits suicide seems to be unable to bear washing clothes in the backyard every day. Who can bear to wash clothes every day because of the pampered young Uncle Chen?"

"It hasn't been a day or two since he was driven to the backyard. Why did he commit suicide suddenly?" Tang Duhan poured a cup of tea, but it was cold, and quickly vomited it out, "What about Ran Nan?"

"He, his leg is broken, he should be honest and do odd jobs in the backyard." Jing Feng said in a relaxed and cheerful tone, "If you want me to say, since you are in Xianyue Pavilion and haven't found a way out, you should be honest, otherwise it will be really harmful Harm yourself."

Tang Duhan smiled, "As long as you are smart, Ran Nan will not be a fool if he lives for dozens of years. Among them, he must always be unable to bear it."

"If you can't bear it anymore, you have to live first."

Tang Duhan listened to the words and pondered, and then slowly said, "If I arrange a retreat for you, can you help me bring down Uncle Chen together?"

Jing Feng was surprised, "What's the way to retreat? What's the way to help?" After speaking, he sat back on the bedside, and the two began to communicate in whispers.

"I'll give you 1000 taels of silver, which you might not have earned even during the most prosperous ten years in Xianyue Pavilion."

"That much?"

"After the matter is completed, 100 taels per year until you pass away."

Only then did Jing Feng smile, "Then what should I do?"

"When is your next pick-up?"

"The night after tomorrow, I won't be lazy on the first day of the new year."

"At that time, I will give you a set of medicine. You secretly pour it into Enke's teacup. After having intercourse at night, he will be completely exhausted the next day, and his yang will not stop."

"Such a vicious thing," Jing Feng twitched the corners of his mouth, feeling disgusted, "won't he lose his life?"

"It doesn't matter," Tang Duhan explained, "Those things are just things normally secreted in a man's body, and it will be healed after a day or two of rest. After this matter, he will definitely ask Uncle Chen for compensation, and it is not a bad treatment for him."

"that's it?"

"If possible, I hope you can sprinkle as many of these medicines as possible into the teapots in the other servants' rooms. You know more people in Xianyue Pavilion than I do. Find someone who is greedy for money and love money from the kitchen to lure you , is not difficult."

Jing Feng understood that he wanted to take advantage of this matter to ruin the reputation of Xianyue Pavilion, and then take advantage of the chaos to attack, "It's just that the fall of the man's Yangguan is not only such a hidden thing, I don't think any benefactor will go to Chen by himself. Uncle, will you reveal the matter?"

"Indeed, but other methods are not as effective as hitting the sore spot of Xianyue Pavilion. Then I will arrange a few trustees and yell in the hall. People, I dare not be the first, and the second and third will rush to ask for it, not to mention this A thing related to the stuff of my life?"

"What are you going to do after it's done? With this, you may be able to kill with one blow." Jing Feng said and defended himself, "Don't worry, I hate Xianyue Pavilion for a day or two. I can get rid of Uncle Chen. I can't ask for more, and I won't secretly betray you again."

Tang Duhan glanced suspiciously, "In order to prevent the government from confiscating his home and going to jail, Uncle Chen must have chosen to spend money to abate the disaster and settle the matter. Several trustees took the opportunity to raise the compensation, and there are many prominent people who come to Xianyue Pavilion , the safekeeping made Uncle Chen unable to eat and walk around."

Jing Feng smiled, "I won't ask if there are too many, I hope you are well-prepared for everything. But first, let me make a deposit of 500 taels the day after tomorrow."

"can."

After some rest, Tang Duhan came to Xunfu again.

Gui Yun, dressed as usual, arranged for food.

After lunch, the two sat in the room and talked.Tang Duhan told Gui Yun about the matter one by one, and hoped to get 1000 taels of silver as assistance and related medicines.

"My lord," Gui Yun led Tang Duhan to the accountant, "This is 2000 taels of silver. Since you want to buy people's hearts, don't be stingy with the money. You should give the young man 500 taels of deposit first, and say that it will be 500 taels of silver in the end." The silver is waiting for him, and he must be caught in the eyes of the money. The servants in my mansion will do a few entrustments, which is more trustworthy, and besides, the fat will not flow into the fields of outsiders."

Back in the living room, Gui Yun ordered his trusted servant to prepare the medicine, "My lord, just do it with confidence, and when the Xianyue Pavilion is in a panic, I will inform the old housekeeper of the Xun family to go to the government. Although the Xun family is in decline, But some reputation is still there. It is said that wealth does not compete with officials, so no matter how powerful Uncle Chen of Xianyue Pavilion is, he will not be able to escape the net of this yamen."

Tang Duhan saw that Guiyun was helping with all his strength, and he had mixed feelings in his heart for a moment, so he just said, "Thank you."

"My lord, you and I don't need to thank you." Gui Yun said, his eyes became wet again, "My lord is alone now, and Gui Yun feels extremely guilty. I can help you today, but it can be said that my lord gave me a chance to redeem myself."

"Forget it, there is no need to bring up the old things again. Is there any news from Xun Yiyang recently?"

"No."

Tang Duhan looked at Guiyun's sad face when he heard the word "Xunyiyang", and couldn't bear it, "After this thing is over, if you are not afraid, let's go to the north together." Tang Du Han is only worried that Xunyi Yang is really going to die in battle, and Guiyun will not even see him for the last time.

"Thank you, young master." Gui Yun laughed and burst into tears in an instant.

"What a smart daughter's family, but Xun Yiyang got involved." Tang Duhan comforted Guiyun and said angrily.

Two days later, Zhong Jingting and Tang Duhan transported his sister's body back to Zhong's ancestral grave.

The dark red coffin was dragged on the wooden cart, and the two of them walked on both sides of the cart dressed in sackcloth and filial piety. Looking at the long-lasting snow, it was just like the scene of Tang Duhan sitting beside the two lakes that day. Desolate and lonely, both sides of the snowy road are full of tree trunks with withered branches and dry branches, whose roots are hidden in the snow, making it hard to guess their intentions.

"Why are there only a few of us?" Tang Duhan asked.

"Yungui is defeated, and the family is dead. Who else will come?"

As we walked, it suddenly began to snow again, flakes of snow covered the cold coffin and soon formed a layer. Tang Duhan saw Zhong Jingting's eyes were drooping, his face was pale, and his legs became more difficult to walk due to his lameness. , but just quietly by the side, helpless.

After finally coming to the Zhong family's ancestral grave, what I saw has already turned into a deserted place.
