Volume 2, Chapter 247: Assassinated
Shangguan Ruoli felt that those things had nothing to do with him, so he was busy preparing for the New Year, and his life gradually became peaceful.
The calmer the days go by, the faster they pass, like turning the pages of a book. I prepare New Year's goods, clean the house, make new clothes. When I eat in the morning, I think about what to eat for lunch. As soon as lunch is served, I think about what to eat in the evening.
What……
The sun rises and sets, over and over again, and the New Year passes in a flash.
On the twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month, Shangguan's family began to have a holiday. In the evening, when Shangguan Ruo left to pick up Ling Yue and Wulang, he brought with him a new year's gift for Shangguan's family.
In order to bring out the vegetables and fruits in the space openly, Shangguan Ruoli specially set aside a yard to grow vegetables, built a greenhouse in the yard, burned earthworms in the house, and planted a lot of vegetables, wild vegetables, melons and fruits.
Every few days, I would send several baskets to relatives and friends, of course mixed with vegetables from the space.
Shangguan was used to eating wild vegetables from the mountains behind Dongzhou's house. When he saw the baskets of wild vegetables that Shangguan Ruoli brought, he liked them and said with a smile, "I didn't expect that the wild vegetables you grow are so good. They taste better than those grown in the hot spring village."
The food is delicious.”
Shangguan Ruoli said: "Wild vegetables are easier to grow than green vegetables. I just scatter the seeds I collect in the vegetable field and they grow well."
But I thought in my heart: You are quite knowledgeable, this was grown in space.
Shangguan Lin also felt that the vegetables brought by Shangguan Ruoli were delicious, and said with red eyes: "Everything Li'er grows is delicious, but the dumplings stuffed with wild vegetables and pork are the best."
His poor little daughter yelled, holding it in the palm of her hand, she grew up pampered, with her index finger not touching Yangchun water. The most tiring job she usually does is sorting herbs and acupuncture. Unexpectedly, she can grow vegetables now, and she can grow vegetables.
So good.
Mrs. Xie also held her hand and felt the thin callus on it, which made her feel very sad.
Shangguan Ruoli smiled and said: "I love growing vegetables and fruits. It gives you a special sense of accomplishment to let you eat the vegetables and fruits I grew myself."
Shangguan was eating strawberries, nodded, and said: "Some people like to grow flowers, some people like to make tea, and some people like to do carpentry. It's normal that you like to grow vegetables."
The great-grandson Shangguan Fei pinched a strawberry with his chubby hands, fed it to Shangguan Fei, and asked in a sweet voice: "Great-grandfather, what are your hobbies?"
Shangguan opened his mouth to eat and said with a smile: "I love giving people needles!"
The little guy turned pale with fright, ran to Mrs. Xie, threw himself into her arms and acted coquettishly, saying: "Grandma, help me, Fei'er won't take the needle."
His tiger-headed look made everyone laugh.
Children were heard talking and laughing outside. Ling Yue and Wu Lang came back from school with a group of Shangguan children.
Shangguan said: "It's time for school to have a holiday, so you can eat here tonight."
Shangguan Lin asked, "Why didn't my son-in-law come with us? Let someone ride on horseback to invite him over for dinner."
Shangguan Ruoli said: "He went to give New Year's gifts to Master Su Daru and Master Zhikong. They lost track of time while discussing articles and playing chess. You don't need to wait for him, let's just eat."
Shangguan curled his lips and said, "Old man Su is like this. He keeps dropping his book bag."
Mrs. Xie still sent someone to the small courtyard to deliver the letter. If Dongming Ziyu came back before dinner, he would ask him to come to the official residence for dinner.
Dongming Ziyu stayed at Qionglin Academy for dinner, but Shangguan Ruoli didn't come after they had dinner.
It gets dark early in winter, and today is cloudy again, making the night particularly dark. Shangguan asked his servants to send Shangguan Ruoli and his family back home, but as soon as they went out, they saw Rong Chuan waiting there with his guards.
In the dim light of the lantern at the door, a handsome young man with a silver crown and a purple robe stood against the wind, looking calm and handsome. The festive red lanterns around him were overshadowed by his clean and cold temperament, which was like ice and snow, or like a winter plum.
He alone is the source of light in heaven and earth.
Ling Yue's eyes lit up and she said with a smile: "Brother Rongchuan, why are you here?"
Wu Lang ran over, his little leather boots clicking, "Brother Rongchuan, are you here to pick us up?"
Rong Chuan smiled and said, "I went to give you New Year gifts. I knew you hadn't gone back yet, so I came to pick you up."
Shangguan Ruoli and Rong Chuan were not polite, and they sent the Shangguan Mansion's servants back as they had his bodyguards.
Rong Chuan came on horseback and abandoned his horse to get into their carriage. The carriage was moving swiftly, and the children's laughter and laughter could be heard from the carriage, adding a bit of warmth to the cold and silent night.
As soon as the carriage turned into Wutong Alley, a dozen masked men in black rushed out from the shadows, wielding gleaming swords, and charged at the carriage.
First, he cut off the horse's head with a knife, and then picked off the coachman with a knife, splitting the thin pine wood carriage with a "click", revealing the four surprised people in the carriage.
The alley turned a corner here, and the alley was narrow. The carriage turned first, and Rong Chuan's guards were behind, separated by the corner.
These people cooperated tacitly and did it in one go. Everything happened so suddenly that before they could react, the carriage was split open.
Rong Chuan drew out the sword from his waist and protected Ling Yue and Wu Lang behind him.
Shangguan Ruoli felt a cold light flash before her eyes, and an assassin's sword struck her in the face.
