Chapter 23 The New Widowmaker

Xu You pushed the door open and sat next to Lushuang's bed. The two of them whispered something. When they heard the sound of the door opening, they turned their heads at the same time. Yan Fei Huanwei, each with their own charming appearance, and their beautiful or elegant faces complemented each other, making this room, which was cool in winter, immediately became as warm as the sun on the sun.

"Xiao Lang!"

The autumnal equinox came over and said with a pout, "Are you willing to come here?"

Xu You smiled, lit up her forehead, and said, "A friend is here, can't you drive someone out?"

The autumnal equinox wrinkled his nose, took his hand and walked to the bed, giggling, "Sister Lushuang took medicine but refused to sleep. She was worried that if you came over, you wouldn't see it. As a result, it took more than a long time to slack, and her eyelids were almost unable to open."

Lu Shuang's face turned red and she said, "Where do I have it? Don't talk nonsense..."

Xu You walked to the bed, brought Hu benches to the autumnal equinox, sat down, and said, "Are you better?"

Lu Shuang held up and leaned back against the head of the bed. The white quilt slipped silently from the neck, revealing the whiter collar skin and the shape of a high pointed bamboo shoot on her chest. Her head was lowered and she said, "It's better, I'm eating porridge and rice, and my body is not that cold." A pair of black and white eyes looked at Xu You playfully, then smiled and said, "It's just that the medicine is a little bitter..."

She was extremely pure, but because of habit, she would inadvertently show a charming expression that made people's heart beat faster in every move. Xu Youru entered into meditation without any interference and said, "Good medicines are bitter, how can non-bite medicines cure diseases? Since the symptoms are right, let Dr. Liu keep watching. I think the famous doctors in Qiantang are not much worse than those in Wuxian. You should be at ease and take care of what you want to eat. Please tell the waiter to do it, but don't save me money."

Lu Shuang laughed, causing discomfort in her chest. She covered her mouth and coughed twice, and joked: "I understand, my husband is very generous. He asked me to give me 100,000 yuan in Wuxian. Can you know how many maids can I buy in Qiantang for 100,000 yuan?"

Xu You shook his head and said, "Man is not a beast, so why do you say that you buy it? You are also a person who has read the books of sages. Since you came to Qiantang with me, it would be better to change some of the habits in Qingle Tower back then."

Lu Shuang's expression turned straight, she straightened her body, and said solemnly: "Oh, I'll write it down!"

Xu You nodded, stood up, and said, "I have something to do and want to go out with Feng Hu. It's still hard to say when I will come back. In the autumnal equinox, you and Lu Shuang stay here, don't separate or go outside. Dinner has been ordered, and you will be sent here when the time comes."

When he walked to the door, he turned his head and looked at the autumnal equinox. His gentle eyes were enough to melt all the glaciers and said, "Be careful!"

The autumnal equinox nodded vigorously and said, "Well, I know, don't worry, Xiaolang!"

When Xu You left, Lu Shuang's beautiful beauty frowned into a small fold, and a trace of worry flashed deep in her agile eyes, and she said, "Ah Mei, who did you meet just now, did something happen if you went out so quickly?"

"I don't know either. I just heard Zuo Langjun say that he was from Jingkou. He met him by chance outside and came to visit Xiaolang specifically!"

"That's how..."

Lu Shuang slowly lay down, staring at the empty ceiling, and said, "I want to get better quickly. Even if I can't help the husband, at least I can stop worrying about us when he goes out to do a serious business..."

The black black eyes turned around on the autumnal equinox and whispered: "Sister, Xiaolang's tone was a little heavier just now, don't care..."

Lu Shuang's voice sounded very gentle, and she mumbled softly like the glutinous rice juice that had just shaken out of the steamer. She said, "Silly girl, the husband talked to me like this, which means that she began to treat me as her own family. How could I care? It's too late to be happy."

After leaving Zhibin Tower, Zuo Qi looked for a ox cart nearby. Although Xu You's physical condition improved greatly, it would be better not to walk when he could not walk.

"Do you say Zhan Wenjun is a new widow?" Xu You's low cry came from the ox cart.

"It cannot be said that she is a new widow, after all, her husband has been dead for more than a year. And before he passed the door, he became a widow, and his reputation in Qiantang is not very good."

If you have no family, you will die before you pass the family. This is the fate of killing your husband and will not have a good reputation in any dynasty. Xu You frowned and said, "Who is she married?"

He Ru smiled and said, "Guo Mian's only son, Guo Li!"

Xu You was stunned, and then he vaguely felt He Ru's intention to come to see Zhan Wenjun.

He Ru knew that Xu You had just arrived and was not clear about the personnel affairs of Qiantang. He patiently explained: "Zhan Wenjun is the fourth daughter of the leader of the Zhan family. He rarely appears in public and has no outstanding talent and knowledge. As for appearance, he is only a middle-class person. But for some reason, he was attracted by Guo Mian when he was thirteen years old and went to the Zhan family to propose marriage for his only son Guo Li. Although Guo Mian is a poor family, his family has a wealthy family and his reputation has been resounding throughout the Three Wus. The Zhan family is not a noble family, so there is no difference between the family and he soon married. Three years later, Zhan Wenjun turned 16 and the two parties decided to marry. It was five days before the auspicious day, but Guo Li died suddenly for no reason. The Zhan family was unwilling to regret the marriage... This is more Confucian than the Yuan family in Chen County."

Xu You said angrily: "Don't change the topic, continue talking."

"Since I don't want to regret the marriage, Zhan Wenjun wants to marry by the day. He still holds Guo Li's spiritual position in his arms, which has become a major event that caused a sensation in Qiantang that year. It is said that this scene moved Guo Mian to cry in public. After getting married for more than ten days, Guo Mian was afraid that she would be lonely and have no relatives in the Guo family, so she sent her back to the Zhan Mansion for a small stay. Although her name is a father-in-law, she has actually treated Zhan Wenjun as her daughter..."

The ox cart walked through the streets and alleys to a quiet courtyard in the east of the city. Through the wall, you can see a three-story building standing alone in the courtyard. There is nothing else.

Xu You got off the ox cart and said, "It's this? The Zhan family is also considered a big clan in Qiantang, but the mansion looks quite simple!"

"The Zhan family's manor is more than ten miles west of the city. This is only Zhan Wenjun's residence in the city. Only she and a dozen maids are there, and it has nothing to do with Zhan's family."

When Xu You heard that only Zhan Wenjun lived here, he frowned again and said, "He is a widow, born in a gentry, and is no more evasive than ordinary people's families. How can you and me enter the door?"

"It's good that Qilang Li is fine. If you can't even enter the door, why should I bring you here?"

He Ru went up to call the door, and after a while, a trembling old servant walked out, with white hair, a arched back, and a gray-eyed bead, and then he said politely: "My girl is here and never sees foreign guests. If you have important things, you can go to Zhibin Building to find Wuqu's husband. If there is nothing wrong, please come back."

Zhan Yi's name is Wuqu, taken from the sentence "Yunan Wuqu" ". He Ru bowed and said, "Please tell the girl that the beggar who came to the front of the Bin Building the day before yesterday has come to repay his kindness."
