Chapter 177: Sad Man
"I have asked your aunt to help you find a good relative, and I believe there will be news soon. You just have to wait to marry a good wife who is really right, virtuous and virtuous. ”
The second lady's voice was so clear, every word knocked into her ears and pierced into her heart. Qin E turned around and saw that Hui Niang's face was snow-white, and her body trembled slightly.
When did she get along with Qin Xiao?
Qin E was shocked by her own ignorance on the one hand, and shocked at the words of the second lady on the other.
Hui Niang's body trembled like a broken candle in the wind, and Qin E subconsciously stepped forward, wanting to support her. The door behind him was slammed open, Qin Xiao chased his mother out with a red face, and the two were stunned when they saw Qin E and Huiniang.
Qi looked at Hui Niang embarrassedly, "Hui Niang is here." ”
Hui Niang gave a bow quietly, turned around and walked away quickly.
Qin Xiao took a step forward and was held by his mother.
Hui Niang didn't go back to Lan Wan Yuan, and went directly to the gate. When the maid Huan'er saw Qin E coming over, she carefully stepped aside, stood with Gray Wen, and gave the two of them space to talk.
Qin E called "Hui Niang" softly, but Hui Niang stopped, but did not turn around.
Qin E didn't have the courage to face her.
"Hui Niang, when did you fall in love with Qin Xiao?"
Halfway through the words, Qin E couldn't say anything more.
I wanted to say something comforting, but I couldn't think of a word.
"Hui Niang... ”
Huiniang turned her head, Qin E thought she would cry, but she showed a smile.
"You don't have to worry about me, I'm fine. I knew we weren't going to get results, but I couldn't help but think about it. This time, I can finally stop thinking about it. ”
Hui Niang smiled, tears in her eyes.
Hui Niang left, tears filled her eyes, but they never fell. Her back was straight, like a small tree, slender but tough.
On that day, Hui Niang's back was firmly engraved in Qin E's heart. After many days and months, she would always think of this gentle and strong woman, and of her straight and emaciated back.
That's the insistence on dignity under emotion.
Qin E was still immersed in the shock brought by Hui Niang, and Meng Jingke suddenly found her, which brought her a new shock.
As soon as Qin E freshened up, Gray Wen and Dongmei closed the door and went out with the washing water, and Meng Jingke broke through the window.
Qin E didn't have any preparation in her heart, after the last time, she thought that she wouldn't see Meng Jingke again, but she didn't want him to come again.
Qin E was embarrassed and didn't know what to do, but Meng Jingke said: "The Xia Zhu you have been looking for has been found." ”
Qin E was stunned for a moment, and then ecstatic, "Have you found Xia Zhu?" where is she, okay, how did you find her, I'm going to see her!"
Meng Jingke waited patiently for her to finish, "After you finished talking to me last time, I will ask someone to look for her." Six years ago, after several changes of hands, she was sold to a brothel in the next province. ”
Qin E exclaimed "ah", and Meng Jingke said: "Don't worry, she escaped from the brothel." ”
Qin E's hand grasping her chest loosened slightly, and she sat down on the chair.
Although she escaped from the brothel, she did not have a good citizen's household registration, and soon she was arrested again and sold to a merchant as a concubine. Three years ago, the merchant lost money in business and sold her to someone else for twenty taels. ”
Knowing that Xia Zhu would not be happy, but hearing this, Qin E still closed her eyes sadly.
Meng Jingke was silent for a while, and continued: "Originally, it was not difficult to find her, but she disappeared for a while, and the clues were broken, and it took a lot of time. You saw her near West Street some time ago, and I asked you to follow this clue and finally found her. ”
"Missing?"
She escaped after being sold, changed her name and surname, hid her traces, and the clues were broken all at once. Later we searched near West Main Street and found her with a child married to a blacksmith. ”
Qin E couldn't believe what Meng Jingke said, "She has a child?"
"The child is a bit old, and she should have picked it up when she went missing. She returned to the capital with her children, married her current husband, and the three of them barely survived. ”
"I want to see her, as soon as possible. ”
"Okay, tomorrow you go to Yicuizhai to find Shopkeeper Han, and I'll ask him to take you to her. ”
Qin E nodded excitedly, and the room fell silent for a while.
"By the way, how do you know I saw Xia Zhu on West Street?"
Meng Jingke was dumbfounded, and a trace of embarrassment appeared on his calm face.
"You're stalking me?"
"No, don't get me wrong. That day, I saw you scurrying around on the street, and I was afraid that something would happen to you, so I secretly followed you. ”
"Then Huang Peisheng bullied me, and you also know about Li Lu saving me?"
Meng Jingke nodded.
That is to say, if Li Lu does not appear, Meng Jingke will also save her.
Qin E didn't know what to say for a while, her heart was sour and astringent, and there was an inexplicable joy that rushed back and forth.
This feeling made her very nervous.
"Lord Meng, thank you for the things in the palace. Qin E closed her eyes, tried her best to suppress the throbbing in her heart, and said softly: "You have helped me again and again, I really can't repay it." ”
"I swore to do everything in my power to protect you for the rest of your life. This is my own volition, it has nothing to do with you, you don't have to worry. Meng Jingke spoke softly, but the words were as heavy as a thousand pounds, which made Qin E's mood heavier and heavier.
"I'm gone, you take care of yourself. Meng Jingke paused and said, "Wei Changqing begged Wei Guifei to be a matchmaker for you, Wei Guifei has already set her eyes on you, you'd better not go to the palace." And that Min Rou, you have to be careful. ”
"I have always been unable to understand that I have already rejected the marriage contract with Wei Changqing, why they are still holding on to me, it turns out that this Wei Changqing really killed me. Don't worry, no matter what happens in the future, I will not step into the palace gate again, and I will not give them another chance to harm me. As for Min Rou," Qin E's eyes burst into annoyance, "if she is still obsessed, I will let her suffer the consequences." ”
Early the next morning, Qin E went to see Qin, "I went to Xiaoyue Nunnery to burn incense a year ago, and promised to donate some incense money every season, so that the host could recite scriptures and pray for his mother." ”
Qin has never stopped this kind of thing, Qin E got her father's consent, asked Qin Huaiyu for a carriage, and took Gray Wen to Xiaoyue Nunnery.
Mrs. Jing Neng was lecturing to the female dependents of a big official, and when she learned that Qin E was coming, she hurriedly came out to welcome people to the wing.
Qin E took off her hood and said with a smile: "Mrs. Shi, don't come unharmed." ”
"Amitabha, the little benefactor is shining brightly, and there will be a happy event coming today. Later, the poor nun will recite the scriptures and bless the little donor with all the success. ”
"Whether I can do good things smoothly depends on whether the teacher can help or not. ”
Gray Wen stuffed a silver ticket into Jingneng Shitai's hand, "This is the incense money donated by my young lady." ”
Jing Neng pinched the silver ticket, and bent even lower. 2k reading web
