end of days

On the fifth day of the lunar new year, good luck, everything is suitable.

Ms. Liu stayed up all night. Today is her engagement day, that is to say, in half a month, she will put on her wedding dress again, marry into the Liu family, and become the successor of Liu Cong, the Minister of the Household Department.

Liu Yu knocked on the door lightly and came in, telling Liu Di that the members of Liu's family were already waiting in the yard with more than [-] loads of betrothal gifts.Liu Di looked at the bronze mirror in front of him again. It had a plain face, a little bit of red lips, and a jade step shaker to firmly pin the long black hair on the top of the head. Outerwear, the whole person is indescribably harmonious.

The jade hairpin was left by Siming when he proposed marriage. It is very beautiful, but what Miss Liu didn't say is that she prefers the red sandalwood hairpin carved in the shape of a butterfly.However, so what if you don't talk about it, you have already made your decision, and the others are naturally meaningless.

I promised Liu Cong, one of which was for the future of my younger brother. Although Liu Yu never complained, Liu Di knew very well that Yu'er wanted to join the officialdom and realize his ambition since he was a child, and his family was in decline. , which has become an unattainable luxury.

After many years of hard work, relying on his father, he could easily be named on the gold list and avoid the pain of seeking an official position, but who would have thought that once the Liu family was defeated, even though his siblings escaped the disaster of killing their lives, it would be difficult to shine The door lintel, and Siming can mediate from it and help Yu'er.

Maybe all of this is actually just a matter of my own words, but after all, I don't want to be brazen, so I can only repay it with my body.

Of course, I am not selfless, time changes quickly, I can no longer be called young, I am really tired after loving for so many years, I don’t want to be attached to anything, that’s all, let everything go, at least, Siming has no doubts about herself Treat each other with sincerity.

Liu Di bowed his head silently, and Liu Yu who was at the side was stunned when he saw it, and he couldn't bear it.

After tidying his temple hair, Liu Di went out of the house, but saw Liu Cong himself waiting in the yard.

"Siming..." Liu Di was a little surprised. It turned out that he was so fancy to him that he made him condescend to come to this small courtyard for the first time, just to see the bride half a month later.

Liu Di suddenly felt sad, Siming, Siming, why bother...

Liu Siming took Ms. Liu's hands that were no longer smooth, and the heavy housework in the daily life had already caused a thick layer of calluses on the daughter of the Xiangfu, whose fingers were not touched by the spring water.

"Di'er...Di'er..." Obsessively looking at the steps in Liu Di's hair, Liu Cong called out softly, "How lucky is Siming to be favored by you!"

Liu Di withdrew his hand indiscriminately, sighed, and said, "Siming, after all these years, have you ever regretted it?"

Liu Cong hesitated slightly, and then showed his face: "No, I have always been glad to meet you. I knew from the beginning that you are different." However, those slight hesitation let Liu Di know that Siming did not It looks so open-minded.

Just as he was about to speak, he saw Xiaoyu running out from the next door.

"Sister Di——" the little man flew up and hugged the woman in front of him, "Brother Yu said you are getting married, are you leaving us?" Bedridden made him look thinner than his peers, his pointed face was sickly pale, and the corners of his eyes were a little red, as if he had just cried, his frail shoulders hugged Liu Di's waist tightly, full of tears. With grievance and reluctance.

Liu Di sighed, knelt down and stroked Zhuo Yu's head, "Xiaoyu still has a father, why can't she bear me."

"Woooooo..." Zhuo Yu rubbed his small head on Liu Di's body like a fool, "Daddy never cares about Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu only wants sister Di, not daddy..."

"Xiaoyu!" Liu Di's expression suddenly became serious. Zhuo Ran has exhausted his thoughts for Xiaoyu for five years, but this child can't kiss him anyway. Even Liu Di complains for him, but Zhuo Ran always smiles lightly, as always I really feel sorry for the child I adopted a few years ago.

Liu Di didn't understand why Zhuo Ran was so obsessed with this child, sometimes she could even feel a feeling of jealousy, Zhuo Ran never gave him that kind of attention.

"Sister Di..." Xiaoyu was a little timid. Every time she mentioned her father, Sister Di would always become fierce and scary. Zhuo Yu was only a five-year-old child, and she couldn't understand Zhuo Ran's love for him. She simply felt that her father would never be with her, but she didn't know that in order to treat him, Zhuo Ran had overdrawn everything she had early on.

Suddenly, Xiaoyu's already pale face turned pale again, big drops of sweat fell from his forehead, and he collapsed on the ground.

"Xiaoyu——" Liu Di hurriedly picked up Zhuo Yu and entered the room, leaving Liu Cong standing blankly in the yard, accompanied by the betrothal gifts wrapped in red silk all over the yard, feeling indescribably lonely.

Liu Cong's expression was a little stiff, and there was some anger hidden in his eyes. Why, why did Di'er always put things related to Zhuoran first in his heart! !It was like this ten years ago, and it will still be like this ten years later, "Why..." A tear flashed in the corner of his eye, but it didn't fall after all, but Liu Cong's fists were clenched angrily, and his veins were exposed.

"Brother Siming..." Liu Yu blamed her sister a little bit, and it was fine for Xiaoyu to be taken care of by herself. No matter what, Liu Siming was the husband she was about to marry, and she married her husband, but she left Liu Siming alone. Embarrassment is not embarrassment, how decent!

"Forget it." Liu Cong shook his sleeves and wanted to leave, but suddenly remembered something, turned around and said, "Xiaoyu is not young, but has he ever thought about entering the officialdom and making a big splash?" Although it was doubtful Liu Siming's tone was full of affirmation in Liu Siming's eyes. His original wife's father, who served as Minister of the Ministry of Officials, sometimes secretly conducted some underground official business transactions. This is almost a well-known "secret".

However, few people knew that a few years ago, he had single-handedly controlled his father-in-law's secret business.It was also because of my father-in-law that I was bound to be implicated in the prime minister's case four years ago. After all, I was still a student of Liu Xiang, and it would have been difficult for me to get rid of my involvement without the help of my father-in-law Shen Ji.

"Brother Siming——" Liu Yu was already extremely excited. He was the son of a criminal minister and had already lost his qualifications for the Koenke. Now that his future was bright again, how could he not be excited!

"Needless to say, three days later, I'll wait for you in the private room by the window on the second floor of Tianfu Building." Liu Siming seemed to be happy all of a sudden, and walked out of the small courtyard with brisk steps.

Liu Yu was ecstatic, but when he thought of Liu Di, he apologized for no reason. Brother Siming helped so much, how could his sister dare to regret the marriage? And secretly resented, but after so many years, the hatred has disappeared, but my heart is full of gratitude to Zhuo Ran.

"Alas—" Sighing, Liu Yu turned around and entered Xiaoyu's room.

The child on the bed was covered in cold sweat, and his white lips were trembling uncontrollably. Liu Di skillfully took off his clothes, wiped the sweat off his body with a hot towel, and then changed into another dry undershirt After carefully tucking in every corner of the quilt, he sat aside and used the veil over and over again to help him wipe off the sweat dripping from his face.

The stove in the corner was "gurgling" and the medicine juice was rolling. Xiaoyu hadn't stopped the medicine since he was two years old. He heard from Zhuoran that his biological mother had been hit by "biluohuangquan" before she was alive. The world is poisonous and there is no cure for it unless The blood was exchanged all the way, but the woman was poisoned into the five internal organs, unable to recover, and left after giving birth to Xiaoyu.

Also because of this reason, Xiaoyu was born frail. It was not a big problem to rely on Zhuo Ran's internal strength and diet adjustment, but when he was two years old, the situation took a turn for the worse. The impact on Yu was far more serious than imagined. Since then, Xiaoyu has never left the medicine jar.Especially in the cold spring every year, the condition of the disease is particularly dangerous.

Liu Yu silently poured out the medicine, filtered out the medicine dregs, added three bowls of water to the pot, put it back on the stove and continued to cook, all of this was already familiar to him, Zhuo Ran worked hard outside, he and his sister were a scholar and a weak Girl, she can't help with anything, she can only do her best to help with housework, and taking care of Xiaoyu is one of them.

Taking the medicine bowl in Liu Yu's hand, Liu Di fed Xiaoyu spoonful by spoonful. Because of coma, the difficulty of this job was greatly increased. It even took half an hour for a bowl of medicine until Zhuo Yu's face gradually eased. Only then did Liu Di feel relieved.

He beat his sore back, and was about to get up and go out for a walk, but felt a pair of warm hands on his shoulders, "Xiaoyu..." Liu Yu's hands pressed gently, making her stiff shoulders gradually relax.

"Sister... Thank you..." Liu Yu's voice was choked with sobs.

"I'm the only family member of yours. Between us, when was it serious enough to ask you to say thank you." Understanding Liu Yu's meaning, Liu Di smiled gratifiedly. The originally self-willed brother finally began to grow up. After all, all my painstaking efforts were not in vain, and Liu Di smiled so easily for the first time in many years when she patted her hand on the shoulder.

"Hmm..." The sleepy child on the bed finally woke up, the Liu family siblings hurried to the bedside, tightly grasping Zhuo Yu's slightly cold little hand, Liu Di finally let go of a big stone in his heart.

"Daddy..." Hearing Xiaoyu's murmur in a daze, Liu Di suddenly understood Xiaoyu's mood. In fact, Xiaoyu longed for Zhuo Ran's embrace more than anyone else. However, Zhuo Ran was busy with family planning all day long, and finally ignored this child , Xiaoyu is still young, he just feels that his father doesn't love him, but he doesn't realize the concern in Zhuo Ran's heart. Over the years, naturally resentment gradually arises.

"Oh, I should talk to Brother Zhuo, Xiaoyu actually needs his arms more." Liu Yu suddenly sighed, Liu Di smiled knowingly, yes, it's time to talk to Brother Zhuo.

However, Liu Di's smile froze suddenly, and she remembered that Zhuo Ran hadn't shown up for many days.

This is not normal, because of the heavy workload, Zhuo Ran often slept in the shed, but it is really unbelievable to not show up for so many days.

"Xiao Yu, have you seen Brother Zhuo recently?" Hearing her sister's anxious inquiry, Liu Yu also began to feel that something was wrong. He thought that Brother Zhuo was busy with work, so he didn't return for a few days, but he never asked someone to bring a letter Boy, it's too incredible.

"Brother Zhuo..." The siblings were anxious, but there was nothing they could do.
