Chapter 60: Three Beauties (End)(1/2)
After Bo Ruoyou left, Huo Weilou leaned against the back of the chair and said nothing.
Eunuch Fu frowned and came forward, "It's not news from the palace, why did the marquis burn the letter?" After a pause, Eunuch Fu asked suspiciously: "Is it news related to Youyou?"
The night outside the window was heavy, and the river breeze whistled and slapped on the window frame, as if it was about to rain. This added a gloomy look between Huo Weilou's eyebrows. He said coldly: "The one who verbally engaged to the Lin family was indeed the third house of the Bo family."
Eunuch Fu suddenly realized, "That means that Youyou should be engaged to Mr. Lin."
Huo Weilou was a little dissatisfied with this rhetoric. He raised his eyebrows coldly, "But he did not write a marriage letter back then. Later, her parents died and left Bo's mansion. The marriage fell on the daughter of the big house. Lin Huai naturally knew the inside story, but Lin Huai was also a vulgar after all. The daughter of the three-bedroom house abandoned her son for the Bo's mansion, so of course she did not have the dignity of the daughter of the big house."
"and……"
When Huo Weilou finished speaking, hesitated in his eyes, "She was forced to leave Bo's mansion because her two uncles invited Taoist priests to predict her. Taoist priests said that she was a very bad fate and that her parents died because of her."
Eunuch Fu took a breath, "What? It means that she killed her parents? Youyou was only over five years old and was still a child who knew nothing. How could their eldest and second houses bear to put such a crime on her?"
The letter had been burned out, and Huo Weilou's eyes swept through the ashes, and his tone was cold, "When she was asked to leave Bo's mansion, she said she wanted to change her fate, but later, for some reason she followed her adopted father and mother to Qingzhou."
Huo Weilou stopped talking at this point, but his eyes were a little cold, and he asked Eunuch Fu again, "Do you know that she has a younger brother?"
When Eunuch Fu heard this, he looked surprised, "Youyou has a younger brother?"
Huo Weilou nodded in a narrow eye, "But something happened more than ten years ago and it was probably before her parents died."
Eunuch Fu took a breath, "Of course I don't know about this. The third master of the Bo family was walking around in the Hanlin Academy. At that time, the old slave was accompanying him, so he had a little impression. As for him, he had a daughter because he heard it by chance, but he didn't know about the young master. Why are the relatives around Youyou no longer alive now?"
Eunuch Fu sighed a little, then frowned and said, "So her uncle and second uncle had something fierce because of this? I wonder if she left Bo's mansion and went to Qingzhou at a young age. How did they be so cruel to a little girl?"
Eunuch Fu sighed repeatedly, "The fate of the second prince is not destined. When the second prince got engaged, it means that the wife of the Anqing Marquis' Mansion and the children in his stomach are nobles, and they are a good marriage with the second prince. But now, the tragedy of the Anqing Marquis' Mansion has caused such a tragedy and the marriage has been ruined. These fate of the second prince are nothing more than a framed statement."
Bo Ruoyou's parents died, and a younger brother died early. He was only a five-year-old child and was charged with killing his parents and expelled from his uncle. The more he thought about it, the more angry he felt, "These people are really heartbroken. They even gave such a name to a child who doesn't know anything."
At this point, Eunuch Fu thought of something and said: "The old slave said it quite quietly, saying that someone told her fortune in the past, saying that she could not live to be eighteen years old--"
Huo Weilou raised his sword eyebrows slightly, "I can't live to be eighteen years old?"
Eunuch Fu nodded, "She said it very casually. The old slave didn't ask too much. Youyou didn't seem to care much. He didn't know these things at that time. Hey, it's really heartbreaking."
Huo Weilou immediately remembered the shock on her face when she first saved Bo Ruoyou. At that time, she felt that it was normal for a little girl to be scared, but now that she thought about it, she looked a little scared at that time.
Huo Weilou sneered coldly, "What a family of three ministers."
Eunuch Fu sighed, "What is the plan of the marquis? Not to mention anything else, the marriage with the Lin family is quiet. Even if Mr. Lin has some considerations, how dare he refute you as long as you speak?"
Huo Weilou raised his eyes to Eunuch Fu, "She has no support, so what can she do if she marry into Lin?"
Eunuch Fu opened his mouth and hesitated: "Can't you rely on Youyou? If you open your mouth, Mr. Lin will not treat Youyou badly for your sake."
"Be her support and let her marry into the Lin family?" Huo Weilou smiled lightly, but said, "I will discuss this after returning to Beijing. You will know about the Lin family. You don't need to tell her for the time being."
Eunuch Fu looked at Huo Weilou suspiciously, "Has the Marquis made other plans?"
Huo Weilou heard the words of unfathomable, but he didn't say much. Eunuch Fu stared at Huo Weilou for a moment and said, "Master, right... to Youyou..."
Huo Wei's floor was calm and could not tell what it meant for a moment. Eunuch Fu said with a bitter face: "The Marquis told Youyou to do some small things in these two daily lives. Although it was a small thing, he specifically ordered Youyou. The maid sent by the Princess's Mansion in the past was never used. Even the other princesses and princesses, the Marquis rarely had a good face, but now..."
Huo Weilou was only silent.
Seeing this, Eunuch Fu said, "The Marquis gave me a correct word. I was a little scared when I thought about this. I was not sure what you said. I didn't say anything. You said before that I felt that Youyou was satisfied with me. Although you were strict with my subordinates, I took a lot of care. I believed it. But in the past two days, I saw that you were clearly waiting for someone to investigate Youyou's life experience. Even though I knew that Youyou's marriage was tampered with, I didn't plan to tell Youyou."
Eunuch Fu looked resentful, "Although you are hard to tell the difference between joy and anger on your face, you can't deceive the old slave. You also said that you didn't have any other thoughts about Youyou? You are the most disliked by the woman who is waiting for you. If you didn't have any other thoughts, why should you find some excuses that you can't let Youyou be in front of you?"
After saying that, Eunuch Fu waited for Huo Weilou to retort lightly, saying that he was just appreciating him if he knew how to advance and retreat, but just cherishing his talents, or seeing her alone and taking care of her...
But Huo Weilou was silent for a few moments and said, "I really don't want Lin's marriage to fall on her."
Eunuch Fu widened his eyes, "Then you are..."
Huo Weilou's eyes drooped slightly and fell on the black jade ring in his left hand, "She is a little different."
Eunuch Fu opened his mouth, "You...what do you mean?"
Huo Weilou was impatient by his question. He raised his eyes and looked at Eunuch Fu like a fool. At this moment, Eunuch Fu was not sure of what he was and understood very clearly. His eyes gradually shone with shinyness. After a moment, a few tears burst out excitedly, "My Marquis, you have finally gotten enlightened. Youyou is indeed adorable!"
As he said that, Eunuch Fu said angrily, "Then you were serious before..."
"I didn't think about it before." Huo Weilou spoke, his phoenix eyes narrowed, and his eyebrows were quite old and deep.
Eunuch Fu said happily: "Now--"
Huo Weilou looked over with a cold look, "I just don't want to help her get back any marriage."
Eunuch Fu's expression suddenly stopped, "Did you not make up your mind yet?"
Huo Weilou retracted his gaze, looked steady and calm, "What's the idea? If he is a person, he has seven emotions and six desires. Although she is different from the woman next to him, she doesn't have to. If she just thinks, she will pass by after enduring it."
The young man was in a high position and did not dare to show his joy and anger on his face. Over time, he would press his emotions and desires deep into his heart like a practising monk. The wind and frost swords forced him to cultivate a body like a cast iron. When he was strong and unshakable, his heart would naturally not be easily tempted.
When he was young, people of his age were still having fun. He had already started practicing archery and horses. After he was over 10 years old, he went to the battlefield. Thousands of troops were in charge of his horse. Everyone thought he wanted to hold military power, but he was willing to return to the capital to take charge of the embroidered clothes envoy. He was below one person and his ambitions grew like a vine, but he never made a mistake.
If a person lives for a lifetime, love, hate, greed, and ignorance are all about desires. Huo Weilou was able to reach this point today because of extreme self-control and never being eroded by desires. Now, how can he lose control because of one person?
After enduring, it passed.
The word "reason" was clearly written on Huo Weilou's face. At this moment, Eunuch Fu felt a little distressed. He had no choice but to speak, but when Huo Weilou's words and deeds were of great importance, he knew that although he could ask about this matter, he could not advise him.
Huo Weilou has his own rules for his actions. Even if he can indulge in one's own bad life, how can Bo Ruoyou, who has a rough life, withstand the entanglement here? Eunuch Fu had a lot of worries when he questioned Huo Weilou earlier. At that time, he was just a lot of thoughts, but when he thought about it carefully, it was not an unfair thought.
The heart of Eunuch Fu was heavy, but when he looked up at Huo Weilou, he saw that he was just an ordinary and cold expression. It seemed that such patience was just ordinary to him. Eunuch Fu sighed. Patience is a painful thing, and even if he got used to it, it was difficult to bear it. Looking at the actions of these days, can you really bear it?
...
Bo Ruoyou found that Eunuch Fu was treating her better and better. When she got up and went downstairs the next day, Eunuch Fu came to ask her what she liked for food, clothing, housing and transportation. When she arrived at the tea shop, she asked someone to give her favorite pastries, and she took a lot of care in her words.
Bo Ruoyou was a little suspicious. After seeing Huo Wei Tower for a long time, he asked, "Why don't you see the Marquis today?"
Seeing that she was very concerned about Huo Weilou, Eunuch Fu said casually: "The Marquis has always been concerned about business. He has been thinking about Wang Qingfu's case these two days, and he is quite unable to sleep. He slept very late last night and probably would have to get up later today."
Bo Ruoyou's expression changed slightly. She didn't know anything else, but Huo Weilou's Qianmian was probably true, and she wouldn't have been hurt that night.
Bo Ruoyou hurriedly said, "If you can't sleep, you can do it. Let Mr. Ming ask his pulse and then prescribe a prescription. It will be helpful for some days." After a pause, he said, "The Marquis has a heavy responsibility, so take care of him."
Eunuch Fu looked at her and sighed, "We have tried these useless things before, but they are not very helpful. Instead, it makes the Marquis feel that they have done useless things that have disturbed him. Since he went to the battlefield, it has been almost ten years since he was on the battlefield. These are quite uncomfortable in our eyes, but he is used to them."
Bo Ruoyou was a little confused for a moment. Huo Weilou was a person who was sleeping with a pillow and a knife. He was worried about his life and was always worried. The three words "Wu Zhaohou" are really heavier than a thousand pounds.
Seeing her expression slightly dark, Eunuch Fu asked, "What do Youyou think of this Marquis?"
Bo Ruoyou came back to his senses and said, "The Marquis is obsessed with national affairs. Although his reputation of forcing people is circulating among the public, for the people, it is a blessing for the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty to rule over the court and serve the country and the people."
Eunuch Fu laughed at the hearing, "I didn't ask you to say this."
Bo Ruoyou tilted his head and thought, "The Marquis looked at the stranger and did not approach him, but he was very good to his subordinates. Even the Marquis was the Marquis who took care of him all the way. If he was a man of kindness, he was able to be generous and kind. This trip was thanks to the Marquis who followed him to do the trick, and the woman was very at ease."
Eunuch Fu's eyebrows pounded slightly when he heard this, "You learned from him, you are a subordinate and a subordinate and a tolerance. You are not his subordinate..."
Bo Ruoyou said calmly: "That's because the people are women, but in fact they are no different from their subordinates."
She was generous, but Eunuch Fu was quite unhappy to see it. Bo Ruoyou obviously had never had any other thoughts and really regarded Huo Weilou as the top of the head. This time the boat trip was gone, and I don’t know if he would feel reluctant to leave.
Eunuch Fu said, "We will arrive in the capital in two days..."
Bo Ruoyou also nodded, "Yes, it's finally here."
Eunuch Fu's eyes rolled, "When the time comes, our family will return to the Marquis' Mansion with the Marquis."
Bo Ruoyou didn't realize that he would respond, "This time my father-in-law and the marquis went south and then went to Luozhou. Now he is back by water. He is really tired and must be very tired. He will have a good rest after he goes back."
Eunuch Fu moved his lips, but couldn't speak for a moment. Looking at Bo Ruoyou's calm look, he felt that the iron tree had finally bloomed, but the dullness in front of him was no less than that of the old iron tree. He had a headache for a moment, but looking at Bo Ruoyou's clear eyebrows, he could not talk nonsense and confuse her mind.
In the evening of that day, Huo Weilou had never been told Bo Ruoyou, and she was mostly in the cabin, so she had not met Huo Weilou for a whole day. However, she heard some movements from Huo Qinghong in the corridor from time to time. Although she felt that Huo Weilou was not saying that she was happy and comfortable, she felt a sense of emptiness in her heart. She laughed at her as if she really wanted to be a servant for Huo Weilou.
When night fell, Bo Ruoyou saw Eunuch Fu walking out of Huo Wei's building as soon as he left the door. The two met. Bo Ruoyou subconsciously asked, "What are the instructions for my father-in-law?"
This is the question of Eunuch Fu, but the person who ordered it was Huo Weilou. Eunuch Fu shook his head, "It's nothing, it's dark, Youyou has been resting earlier. It seems that there is a late spring cold these two days. It's quite cold at night, so don't catch a cold."
The concern of the elder Fu made Bo Ruoyou feel warm in her heart. She thanked her and then retreated. She rested as early as the elder Fu said, but when she was lying in the warm brocade quilt, she always felt a little strange in her heart. It was the first time that she had not seen Huo Weilou all day long when she was on the boat for so many days.
However, the errand was finished, and the next day they arrived at the Gyeonggi Ferry Crossing, they had to go in separate ways.
As her mind was full of thoughts, Bo Ruo fell asleep in a deep and quiet manner. She was a steady person and rarely had fearless thoughts. Although she failed to see Huo Weilou, she felt a strange feeling in her heart, but she was just a slight sorrow like smoke, and her sleepiness dissipated as soon as she came.
Since we had one day to reach the Gyeonggi Ferry, the group started packing their luggage at noon the next day. Although Huo Weilou was traveling with light cars, he received a lot of letters along the way, and some official documents were included. It took some effort to pack them up.
At dusk, when he thought that he was about to arrive in the capital, Bo Ruoyou stood inside the railing and looked at the bow of the boat and was stunned.
She was only five years old when she left Beijing. Although she had some impression of the prosperity of the capital, those impressions were shallow and blurred and could not outline the shape of the capital. What's the capital like today after ten years?
When Huo Weilou opened the door, he saw Bo Ruoyou standing a few steps away, his face facing the bow, leaving only a figure for him. His hands that fell on the door paused slightly, and his steps also stopped.
Bo Ruoyou is in front of others, and she has always been gentle and quiet. She is rarely seen as being so stunned. Her elegant brows are slightly frowning, and her eyes are covered with mist. She is a seventeen-year-old girl. No matter how calm she is, she is still worried about her unknown fate.
Before Huo Weilou reacted, the person had already walked forward. The footsteps alarmed Bo Ruoyou. She suddenly turned around. Her pink face was reflected in the afterglow, and the ink hair on her cheeks was swaying, drawing a soft curve.
"Mr. Marquis——"
The bottom of Bo Ruoyou's eyes lit up slightly, the corners of his lips were slightly bent, and his smile was gentle.
Huo Weilou looked at her and said, "You and Eunuch Fu told me that when you arrive at the Gyeonggi Ferry, you will go separate ways with us?"
This was mentioned by Bo Ruoyou and Fu's father-in-law this morning. When they arrived at the Gyeonggi Ferry, they would have half a day to enter the capital. Huo Weilou thought they could continue to travel with him.
Bo Ruoyou said, "Yes, before his adoptive father left, he sent his servants to Beijing. He arrived in the capital one month in advance to clean up his old house. Now he has been waiting at the ferry. Thanks to the care of the marquis, he has been at the ferry and has not dared to delay the marquis' trip."
Huo Weilou looked at her and saw that she was in tune with her words and her expression was bright, and she really couldn't see any reluctance. So she frowned slightly at her wrist, "What's the injury on her wrist?"
To be continued...
