The thin silk curtain of autumn fragrance was lifted, and the little maid hung her hand and said to Zhu Miaoxian: "Girl, Miss Song is here, come and talk to the girl, she is going to leave the house now." ”

Zhu Miaoxian was rolling embroidery thread with Aunt Wu, Zhu Miaoxian rolled Aunt Wu stretched a stack of embroidery thread with her hands open, and the movements on both of their hands were all stunned, Zhu Miaoxian said: "It's really strange today." ”

It's getting late at this time, Song Duofu is a sojourning girl's house in and out of the house is to make it clear to the head of the house, it stands to reason that there is a wife in the family, and the wife can't have Zhu Miaohua and Zhu Miaocong for a while, Song Duofu is closely following Li Fei, so many people are in front of her, the third girl who is not the concubine, but today the first three have not come out since they entered Shuwei Hall at noon, and Zhu Qin sent guards to guard the courtyard gate, and they are not allowed to enter and exit inside and outside. Li Fei went out of the house with her mother Li, Zhu Miaoxian's identity is not at all known what this group of people are doing, and now Song Duofu is going out of the house again.

Aunt Wu didn't say anything, she took the embroidery basket and put down the things in her hand, and the person retreated, Zhu Miaoxian stroked the hem of her skirt and said to the maids: "Please, make a cup of Pu'er tea." ”

Song Duofu turned his head slightly sideways and entered the house, Zhu Miaoxian raised his hand to signal Song Duofu to sit down, and said with a smile: "Seeing that it is getting dark, my sister has not returned to the house yet? Why are you going out again, is there anything urgent?"

Song Duofu sat on the circle chair where Zhu Miaoxian started, and said, "It's not urgent...... To tell you the truth, Fei Fei is not coming back today, this is not Mrs. Li has entered Beijing, no matter what Fei Fei said, she should be by her mother's side for a few days, and I, I have not seen Mrs. Li yet, I am in a hurry to visit, and then I greet Mrs. Li to my hometown parents. ”

There are too many messages in a string of words, I didn't know before, since Li Fei entered the house, in the early years, the Li family's people Li family's affairs have repeatedly said in private that the Li family's mansion was given by the emperor, and the Li family's mansion was taken back after it fell, and I haven't heard that the Li family has repurchased a house in the capital, where is this going? Zhu Miaoxian said while thinking: "I have been in the courtyard all day long, and there are many things outside that I don't know, where are you going when you leave the house? Let me know that I am also relieved." ”

Song Duofu held the teacup in his hand and said with a light smile: "Mrs. Li lives in Pingkang Street, and she sent someone to rent a two-entry courtyard on Pingkang Street, first for a year, and then ...... Who knows what will happen in the future, I never imagined a year ago that I would be able to enter Beijing, and I would have the honor of disturbing your mansion for so many days. ”

"Where, where, there are few sisters in the family, I am very happy that you can come to meet us, read books and do needlework together......" Zhu Miaoxian hurriedly said, paused for a moment and continued: "Pingkang Street is in that place before the Taining Hou Mansion and behind the Yamen of Dali Temple, right?"

"That's exactly there. Song Duofu nodded.

Zhu Miaoxian pursed her lips and smiled: "I made a note, you go first today, stay there for a few days and come back, if it is convenient in the future, I will go with you." ”

Song Duofu didn't say how many days to stay, didn't answer Zhu Miaoxian's words, what he wanted to say was finished, and he got up and retreated.

Zhu Miaoxian sent it to the door, turned around and Aunt Wu was already standing in the house, she listened to Song Duofu and Zhu Miaoxian's words in the back, Zhu Miaoxian opened her mouth and said, "Today is getting more and more strange." ”

Aunt Wu pointed in the direction of Shuwei Hall and said, "The master has not come back since he entered the palace, and I have not heard the people in the palace summon the master before, and wait for a day and a half, when we should know the result, we will know." ”

The room of Shuwei Hall was already dim, and after dinner, no meal was delivered, but there were melons and fruit snacks on the table in the side room, and there was no shortage of food and drink, but only Zhu Hong was so hungry that he was gnawing on a melon, Zhu Miaohua and Zhu Miaocong were lying on both ends of a kang bed, with their backs to their heads and motionless.

Click, click, in a quiet and silent environment, the sound of Zhu Hong eating melons was particularly loud.

Zhu Miaohua bit her skinny lips, endured it for a while, and finally turned over and sat up and scolded: "Eat, eat, you have a good heart, and you are still in the mood to eat!"

Zhu Hong's eyes widened, and he hurriedly put the melon back on the table after a few bites, and suddenly wanted to cry: "I...... I'm just thirsty. ”

Zhu Miaocong walked over quickly, propped his hands on the table, grabbed a piece of sesame peach cake and took a bite, swallowed his head and looked up at Zhu Miaohua and said, "You are not happy, don't be angry with Brother Hong." ”

"You eat, you can eat if you want!" Zhu Miaocong stuffed the melon into Zhu Hong's hand again, just-for-tat with Zhu Miaohua, and said: "I don't have the ability to starve myself, I just want to eat." ”

Zhu Miaohua was not happy, tears poured down all of a sudden, a steady stream of water, and they were left in strings until their chins fell down, until Zhu Qin came back in twilight, Zhu Miaohua choked and couldn't stop, and the three sisters and brothers walked to the main hall with their heads down.

The Xu family was originally tied up here, and it was still guarded by two sturdy servants, and at this time the Xu family was gone, only Zhu Qin was facing them, and a scroll of holy decrees was offered on the desk where incense was lit.

The three of them knelt on the ground one after another, Zhu Miaohua choked up and couldn't say anything for a while, Zhu Miaocong and Zhu Hong both bowed to the ground with their hands.

Zhu Qin unfolded the holy decree, read it to his own family, less solemn of the official decree, read it out of Zhu Qin's mouth, more indifferent, the will severely reprimanded Zhu Qin for the crime of not governing the family strictly, punished him for five years, took back the three Zhuangzi that had been given by the emperor and the slaves on the Zhuangzi, and then reprimanded Xu, saying that she was unfilial to the first wife Cai, and committed seven thefts, and the last sentence, Xuan Guogong and his wife Xu annulled their marriage.

The husband and wife dissolve the marriage relationship, the husband does not have this statement, the wife has a divorce, it is purely because the life can not go on, the husband and wife dissolve the marriage relationship relatively peacefully, the marriage relationship is a harmony, the two sides have made too much trouble, and the government forcibly dissolves the marriage contract, which is called righteousness. These are the ways in which ordinary families break off marriages. And Zhu Qin is the duke of Chaopin, and the Xu family is already the edict of Yipin, so it is not so simple for the two people to be separated, if you really want to talk about it, this will is still a will to Zhu Qin.

His Royal Highness King Xiang pleaded, Li Fei also begged for mercy for the Xuanguo Mansion of the same clan and clan, coupled with Zhu Qin's initiative to clarify his feelings and the righteousness of the monarch and ministers for many years, he only got this holy decree of abolishing marriage, Zhu Qin and Xu Jin abolished the marriage, this difficulty of the Xuanguo Mansion is over, and the embarrassing thing is that the Xu family, the marriage contract that was annulled by the holy decree is several times more difficult to hear than the Xu family called Zhu Qinxiu, Zhu Miaohua, Zhu Miaocong, Zhu Miaocong, Zhu Miaocong, Zhu Hong were lying on the ground crying and couldn't get up, Zhu Miaocong was stronger, and he stood up and asked: "Father, where is my mother now......?" Lives may be saved. ”

Zhu Qin clasped his fists and said in the direction of the imperial city: "The emperor was angry and wanted to order death, but fortunately, His Royal Highness King Xiang and Fei'er entered the palace to beg for pardon, and the Xu family was escorted into the family temple to copy the scriptures and light the lamp for his mother. ”

The emperor played a very important role in Zhu Qin's two marriages, and the emperor himself was clear about the reason why Zhu Qin married Xu, Zhu Qin said that his mother Cai liked Xu's niece, and he married him in order to honor his mother, and fought for filial piety in the emperor.

Success is also Cai's, defeat is also Cai's. Xu entered the Zhu family from the beginning to serve the Cai family, and as soon as the Cai family died, she also lost the status she had worked so hard to maintain, and she had to serve the Yin Spirit of the Cai family for the rest of her life.

Is this a causal cycle?

Zhu Miaohua cried out in grief, why did she come back to her life, after several plans, her mother ended up exactly the same as in her previous life many years in advance?

In the first life, the earlier hope has now become a ruthless irony, Zhu Miaohua's chest is full of endless grief and confusion, crying: "What should I do, what should I do?"

The voice became softer and softer, but the more he cried, the more sad he became, and said, "What should I do?"

Zhu Miaocong and Zhu Hong were also crying, but they were not as strong as Zhu Miaohua.

Zhu Qin walked over, his heavy black boots made a dull sound when he stepped on the ground, bent down slightly, reached out and patted the top of Zhu Hong's head and said, "You are a boy, and the men of our Zhu family will have a man in the future." As today, when you open your mouth and close your mouth, you will only shout at your son-in-law, and those who are waiting for you will hold you, and those who are really observing you will only sneer at you. In the future, forget all the things that Xu Shi said to you, what kind of person is she and what kind of ability she has, she tossed herself to nothing, and almost brought a monstrous disaster to the Zhu family. In the future, don't talk about your ancestors all day long, you have to grow your own skills. I'll say something clear today, you keep it in mind, you don't have the ability to overwhelm the brothers in the clan, and the Xuanguo Mansion is definitely not yours. ”

"Got it, father, I was wrong!" said Zhu Hong, who shrunk and wiped his tears.

Zhu Hong didn't look at his sister-in-law anymore, and took two steps to the left to stand in front of Zhu Miaocong, Zhu Miaocong is sixteen years old this year, with a delicate face and a tall figure, Zhu Qin said in a deep voice: "You are a woman, different from your brother." The status of women is not as good as that of men, and if they still despise themselves, they will be even more bottom-up. You just need to remember that you are the daughter of Xuanguo Gong, the descendant of the Zhu family, and your identity is honored because of your husband's family, and it will be the same in the future. ”

Zhu Miaocong straightened his back with a stubborn face. She is a child born to her parents in a marital relationship, even if her parents' marriage relationship is dissolved, according to the law, she is still a concubine, and she has to straighten her waist with this.

Zhu Qin nodded approvingly, and finally moved to Zhu Miaohua, saying, "You used to be the child I had high hopes for. ”

Zhu Miaohua's eyes were hazy with tears, and her hands covered her eyes.

Zhu Qin didn't know what to say for a long time, and said with a long sigh: "I thought you were well-behaved and sensible before, but today, all of a sudden, what do the grievances and grievances of the elders have to do with you, even if my father acted recklessly when he was young, and was criticized and criticized, it is all my words and deeds, why do you have to bear a lot." ”

Zhu Miaohua hung her head, the picture in front of her was shaky, she was tired of a lifetime, she was burdened so much, who could understand her.

The body fell forward, Zhu Miaohua fainted, and was held indoors by Zhu Qin.

I don't know when, Zhu Miaohua's face was already burning.

The lights were swaying in the evening breeze, Zhu Qin's eyes narrowed slightly, and the killing thoughts were dyed several times and then fell silent.
