Chapter 97 Star-catching Linjiang Tower
Ting Wei and the Northern Army danced with double blades, picking up stars and flying lonely souls from dangerous buildings.
Zhou Zhao only felt that her scalp was numb, and fate was like a thorny vine. Before she knew it, it had already wrapped around her neck, giving her a fatal blow inadvertently.
Could the tallest building Chu You is building be her new burial place...
"A Zhao!"
Zhou Zhao was thinking about it when he suddenly heard a clear female voice. Her face was filled with joy and she looked over. A dilapidated carriage drove over.
"Sister Chuyou."
Chu You opened the curtain of the carriage, stuck out her head and waved to them. Before the carriage stopped, she jumped out.
She was wearing cloth clothes that had been washed a little white. The robe looked a little wrinkled. Her hair was casually pulled into a pony bun. She was very plain. She didn't wear any jewelry. She walked to Zhou Zhao and looked directly at him. Su Changying.
"You have changed a lot. I went to Zhou's house. They said you have lost your memory."
Chu You looked at Su Changying intently. In the past, people in Chang'an City compared Su Changying to the blazing sun, and Zhou Yan to the cold moon. At that time, he seemed to have an invincible spirit; but now Su Changying , as cold as the iron armor on his body.
There was murderous aura lingering around him, and that moody and oppressive feeling was very much like his grandfather who used to be in a high position.
Su Changying also looked back at Chu You, and he nodded gently without saying a word.
When he returned to Su's house yesterday, he had listened to his former chief attendant tell him many old things. Chu You said that he wanted to call her sister-in-law. At that time, the six of them often got together, but he had no impression of it.
Chu You received a positive answer and was a little disappointed.
"Let's talk first. I have been busy with the Star Picking Tower these days. It wasn't until this morning when I heard the craftsmen talking about Changying that I learned that you, Azhao, had led Ah Huang to Tianying City. Then I went to Zhou At home, only Ah Wan was here, and only then did I know that Ah Zhao had gone to Tingwei Temple to serve as an official.”
"If your brother were still here, he would definitely be proud of you."
Chu You said, her eyes slightly red.
However, she didn't stay on the topic of Zhou Yan for long, and led a few people to her yard with long strides.
Zhou Zhao looked around quietly as he walked.
After Zhou Yan's death, she came here several times, but later Chuyou's mother came in person to return the betrothal gift and cancel the marriage. He also looked for her privately and said that he hoped she would visit Chuyou less often in the future. After all, no matter how good Zhou Yan was, Keren was already dead.
Chu You is still young, and even though she is a mother who has been stigmatized, she cannot bear to let her dwell on the past. She still has her own life to go.
Later, she came less and less.
The Chu family's mansion looked even more dilapidated than the last time I came back. Although the garden was neatly maintained, there were almost no traces of the precious flowers and plants. The tiles on the roofs of some waterside pavilions and remote courtyards were broken, but no one picked them up.
Weeds grew in the cracks in the wood of the cloister floor, and bamboo knots popped up from time to time.
"Well!" Zhou Zhao responded seriously, "How are you doing, sister? If you encounter any difficulties..."
Chu You smiled heartily and pointed around, "Are you saying that all the good houses are abandoned? How can this be difficult? There are not many people in my family, and I can't live in so many houses. Those expensive ones The flowers and plants are too difficult to maintain, so my grandma is going to dig them up and plant them.”
She spoke calmly and generously, and there was no look of sadness on her face. Zhou Zhao felt a little relieved.
"Why are you building a building? Then what kind of building is the tallest building?" Chu You's courtyard has already arrived while he was talking. Compared with Zhou Zhao's house where even a big rat would get lost and become exhausted when entering, Chu You's The house is extremely big.
As soon as he entered the door, Zhou Zhao directly saw that the wall directly opposite was covered with white silk, with dense pictures drawn on it with fine pens. The materials to be used and the sizes were clearly marked on the pictures... in the lower right corner of the picture. Also written in small letters is the Star-Zhaing Tower.
Sure enough.
Zhou Zhao's heart sank slightly when he saw Chu You pointing at the huge pictures, "The tallest building is the Star-Zhaing Tower. Someone is looking for my uncle to build a taller one on the site of the Linjiang Tower." The small building is used as a wine house.”
"I drew this picture. My boss is very satisfied. We can welcome guests in three days. I asked my boss to leave us a private room to welcome Chang Ying, congratulate Azhao and Ah Huang. Can you guys Want to come?”
Knowing clearly that there are tigers in the mountains, I prefer to go to the tiger mountains.
Zhou Zhao’s answer is of course that he must go!
"Of course we will go to the tallest building built by my sister!"
Zhou Zhao said as he looked at the huge desk placed in the center of Chu You's room. On the left side of the desk was a white cloth, which was densely covered with obscure arithmetic problems that Chu You had done. On the right side was a white cloth. There are various exquisite mechanisms on display, as well as tools such as ink lines.
This table occupies almost half of the room, and there is a simple small bed in the remaining corner, with room for only one person to lie down.
She had come to squeeze in with Chu You before, but when she woke up in the morning, she saw Chu You hadn't slept all night, rolling up her sleeves and solving problems excitedly.
Chu You smiled and nodded when she heard this. She bent down and rummaged through the wooden shelf placed against the wall. She found a sheepskin roll, picked it up and put it into her arms, "There's something else over there in the Star-Zhailing Tower. Wait for me, I’m anxious to go over there and we’ll get together the day after tomorrow.”
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Zhou Zhao knew her temperament and smiled, "We still have errands to do in the afternoon, so we should leave soon."
When the group of people returned to the door of the Chu family, Zhou Zhao and the other three watched Chu You's carriage go away. The concierge, Uncle Qi, rubbed his clothes in embarrassment and said, "Miss Zhao, His Royal Highness King Chu, and Marquis Xiao Lu. , I’m really sorry, once our girl gets busy, she can’t care about anything else.”
"At this hour, I don't leave you at home to eat..."
Zhou Zhao smiled when he heard this, "How come Uncle Qi is alienated from us? We are all like this ourselves, otherwise how could we get close to Sister A."
Her sister-in-law Chuyou was a genius in arithmetic and a rare master of machine arts. Zhou Yan met her during a case investigation. Later, when he wanted to get engaged to Chuyou, his grandmother didn't like her incompetence in general affairs, and The family was in ruins and there was a big quarrel.
When Zhou Zhao recalled the past, many images came to his mind.
She turned around and saw Liu Huang leaning against the corner, as if he wanted to blend in with the mottled wall; Su Changying had a cold face, not even the slightest bit moved, and it was clear that she had not thought of anything.
"You two are really wooden. Together, you are just a pair of chopsticks! A pair of paddles!"
Su Changying pursed her lips: "We are standing here happily and have not offended Mr. Xiao Zhou."
Why aren't you offended? She is walking on the street now. She is not a green dragon on the left and a white tiger on the right. She is simply bringing two door gods...
Zhou Zhao thought silently, then heard a burst of crying. A child in the alley looked at the three of them in horror, turned his head suddenly, hugged his wet nurse's legs, and started wailing.
The steps of the three of them were frozen in place.
Zhou Zhao dug into her sleeve pockets, wanting to take out some candies and snacks, but after digging for a long time, she only had daggers and coffin nails on her body...
She looked at Liu Huang...the box containing the dissecting knife and ax was shaking.
Just as she was thinking about it, she saw Su Changying holding a candy and passing it to the child in front of her.
The child burped and cried louder.
