Chapter 149: Left and right
Sang Xiaoxi's expression darkened, and sure enough, Sang Qingrou was more complicated than she thought.
It's just that this kind of method is difficult to identify in the eyes of men.
Sang Xiaoxi said deliberately: "Oh? Escort Yin of King Li's Mansion, did you come to the Prime Minister's Mansion to find your father? His Royal Highness King Li rarely interacts with people, and this is the first time I have seen people from his mansion come to find my father. ”
Where did the uninformed housekeeper understand that this was Sang Xiaoxi's words. didn't think too much about it, and took the initiative to explain: "The second lady misunderstood, and Escort Yin came to deliver a letter to the eldest lady." ”
"His Royal Highness King Li, are you on good terms with your eldest sister?"
"This, the minion doesn't know. However, I only heard the eldest lady reply, saying that she would go to the appointment as scheduled. Probably there is something important to discuss in person! His Royal Highness King Li does not casually ask people to meet. ”
"This is true! The eldest sister is worthy of being the eldest sister, and she can make friends with all the princes, but I am afraid that only she can do it in Yongdu City. ”
She smiled, didn't say anything more, and asked people to take the herbs she had just bought and go to the side courtyard.
Walking to the corner of the corridor, as soon as he turned around, a gloomy smile crossed Sang Xiaoxi's face, and he seemed to have an idea.
The next day, Sang Qingrou changed into men's clothes early and was about to go out for an appointment, when she happened to see Qi Yue riding over at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Qi Yue, why are you here?"
"The master asked his subordinates to bring a message to the eldest lady!"
Sang Qingrou was stunned: "What does he want to say?" Ouyang Shuo should be sorting out the case involving Liang Jinrong with the people from the Criminal Department now, how can he have this spare time to let Qi Yue talk to him?
The master asked his subordinates to tell the eldest lady that today was the day of Imperial Physician Jiang's burial, and he would personally go to mourn. ”
Qi Yue said, handing over the note he brought with him, Sang Qingrou opened it, and her face immediately changed.
She wanted to let herself relax, but Ouyang Shuo wanted to remind her at this time that the secrets of the Jiang family could not be forgotten. The note was written with the word 'ancient books', the handwriting was resolute, and the comparison revealed an unconcealable arrogance, which was written by Ouyang Shuo himself.
"Where is your master?" she asked Qi Yue to come over, just wanting her to go with her, but she didn't want people to think that he took the initiative.
What a weird temper!
"The master has already gone to Jiang's house. ”
Sang Qingrou sighed, it seems that this wine can't be drunk today. She was wondering if Ouyang Shuo did it on purpose.
"Are you going to Jiang's house too? I'll go with you. ”
"Yes, yes. ”
Sang Qingrou got into the carriage, and suddenly remembered another thing, and called the guards at the door.
"You go to Mingyue Tower and send a message to His Royal Highness King Li for me, just saying that I suddenly have some urgent matters today, and I can't go to the appointment to have a drink with His Royal Highness King Li. When I have free time another day, I'm asking him to drink and talk. ”
She explained, didn't think much about it, and left with Qi Yue.
The guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion were about to pass the word, when Sang Xiaoxi appeared with a medicine box.
"You're not guarding here, where are you going?"
The guard knelt down and replied: "Second Miss Hui, the slave was ordered by the eldest lady to go to Mingyue Tower to deliver a letter to His Royal Highness King Li." ”
Sang Xiaoxi listened and frowned: "You are the guard of the Prime Minister's Mansion, if you don't stand guard in your position, when your father comes back, he sees that there is a lack of people at the door, and he is afraid that he will be held accountable." I'm just about to go out, passing by Mingyue Tower, if you want to bring anything, I'll send it for you. ”
The guard didn't think much about it, agreed with a smile, and told Sang Xiaoxi the original words, and felt that today's second miss was very kind, different from the past.
As everyone knows, the mistake has been made.
Jiang An died tragically, and even the body was not found, and the relatives were heartbroken when they heard the bad news.
People can't come back, so they think, how can there be a decent funeral, people live in this life, Jiang An has never done anything evil, he has always been treating diseases and saving people, when he leaves, he should always be decent.
So, the Jiang family discussed, to hold a funeral for Jiang An, even if it was to set up a well-dressed mound, it would be good.
When Sang Qingrou arrived, the matter had already been done, Ouyang Shuo was sitting in the front hall drinking tea, and the person sitting next to him was Jiang An's woman, Qin.
When he saw her again, the Qin clan looked even more haggard.
She was dressed plainly, without powder, and the black green in front of her was telling others that she hadn't rested for a long time. Those bloodshot eyes were full of sadness. An old woman who has lost her husband has little hope for the rest of her life.
Standing beside her was Jiang An's son, Jiang Li.
He looked thin and looked like a weak scholar, and there was no trace of grief on his calm face, but his eyes were looking around, not knowing what he was looking for.
I heard that this Jiang Li never inherited his father's mantle, but was obsessed with portraits, good at depicting Danqing to women, and spent most of his time painting portraits of women in the place of Golan, and he didn't see anyone all day long.
No wonder, the last time they came to Jiang Mansion, they had never seen Jiang An's son.
"Mrs. Jiang, please mourn!"
Qin touched his tears, choked up and said, "I should have been mentally prepared for the fact that the person has been gone for so long. It's just that when I really heard the news, I couldn't help but be sad. He has been practicing medicine all his life, and he doesn't want to end up in the end, so he can only set up a well-dressed grave, and he doesn't know what kind of evil he has created! Don't they all say that good people should have good rewards? Why didn't this good reward fall on him?"
Sang Qingrou sighed, a good person is rewarded. It was probably because Jiang An was too good and mistakenly accepted Liang Jinrong's apprentice, which allowed him to get the current result.
"Mrs. Jiang, Imperial Doctor Jiang is deceased, you should take care of your health. ”
"The remnants of the people's woman, there is nothing to take care of. In the future, I will go to that pure place, eat fasting and chant Buddha all day long, just waiting for the time when fate comes, and I can continue the fate with my husband on the Huangquan Road. ”
As she spoke, she suddenly felt dizzy and almost fainted.
Jiang Li hurriedly helped the person back to the room, and when he returned to the main hall, he saw Ouyang Shuo and Sang Qingrou, and there was already a look of impatience on his face.
"The prince and the eldest lady should have seen it, the father of the family died tragically, the mother of the family was seriously ill, and Jiang Li really had no intention of entertaining the two. If the prince has nothing else to do, please go back! I still have a lot of things to do, but I'm afraid I don't have time to accompany the two of you. ”
His tone was stiff, and he meant to chase away customers.
Sang Qingrou was taken aback, what kind of person was this Jiang Li, who actually dared to speak like this in front of Ouyang Shuo.
Dare to do this, but you have to be a little bold.
Ouyang Shuo didn't seem to have any intention of leaving, he sat there motionless, Jiang Li blasted him away, but he asked calmly: "Jiang Gongzi doesn't seem to have much feeling about Ling Zun's passing." If you're gone, aren't you sad at all?"
Jiang Li sneered: "Isn't it, do you want me to be like my mother, wash my face with tears all day long? If I am sad and sad, will he come back to life? People are dead, what's the use of crying, people who are alive always have to continue to live." ”
