Chapter 28: Resignation

The delicate mint leaves give off a faint cool smell, and this clump can repel mosquitoes in the summer. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žfo

He moved again, and saw a hanging of honeysuckle on the flower stand, which had bloomed at this time, golden and snow-white, with two flowers, inseparable.

Honeysuckle, also known as mandarin duck vine.

Shao Mingyuan seemed to see the woman like Su Hibiscus.

She lived in this quiet courtyard for two years, planting cool and mosquito-repellent mint with her own hands, and planting mandarin duck vines to clear heat and detoxify.

When she stopped to stare at the hanging mandarin duck vine, was she ever lonely?

What kind of person is she?

Shao Mingyuan raised his hand, his fingers gently brushing the petals.

His hands hold knives and guns all year round, and the calluses are thick and hard, very rough, and the white petals fall off.

Shao Mingyuan hurriedly withdrew his hand, lowered his eyes and looked at the petals on the ground, and a wry smile pulled up at the corner of his mouth.

A person like him, who should not have married a wife, harms others and himself, and suffers for himself!

Shao Mingyuan leaned on the flower stand and looked up at the sky.

At that time, the sunset had just set, and the brilliant sunset was dim, and it said goodbye to the world silently.

There was silence all around, only the low chirping of larvae, and the wind blew, bringing the fragrance of mint.

Shao Mingyuan straightened up, raised his hand to brush off the petals that fell off his shoulder, and walked out with his feet raised.

At this time, several girls in Xifu got out of school, and the first thing they did when they returned to the mansion was to go to Qingsong Hall to greet Mrs. Deng, and Qingsong Hall suddenly became lively.

"Today is a calligraphy class, right?" Mrs. Deng smiled at her three granddaughters.

The eldest of the three girls is the eldest girl Li Jiao, who has just turned sixteen years old, with a duck egg face and willow eyebrows, very dignified and delicate, and is also the favorite granddaughter of Mrs. Deng.

The other two girls are all from the second wife Liu, the fourth girl Li Yan in yellow is the same age as Li Zhao, and the one in pink is only in her early tens, and the sixth girl Li Chan is wearing a pink dress.

As soon as Mrs. Deng asked, the youngest Li Chan opened her mouth: "Yes, Mr. Calligraphy just changed, but it is strict, and he slapped my palm today." ”

She stretched out her white and tender hand to show Mrs. Deng, and there were indeed red marks on the palm of her hand.

Old Madam Deng smiled and said, "It proves that the six girls are not working hard enough." The new Mr. Calligraphy was personally invited back by the Xiangjun, you should follow along, and strive to show your face on this year's Buddha's birthday. ”

Today, the son believes in Taoism, but the Queen Mother believes in Buddhism, because both Taoism and temples in Beijing are very prosperous.

Every year on the Buddha's birthday, the ladies of each province will bring enough sesame oil money and copied Buddhist scriptures to Dafuku Temple to participate in activities such as bathing in the Buddha.

Most of those Buddhist scriptures were copied by the female dependents themselves, and I don't know when it became an opportunity for each family to display the calligraphy of the girls.

There is no other reason, and Dafu Temple is on the same hill as there is also a Shuying Nunnery, which lives a big princess who is red and dusty, and she has to call her aunt today. Every year on the Buddha's birthday, the monks of Daifukuji Temple select Buddhist scriptures with outstanding calligraphy and send them to Shuying Temple.

Every year, the Buddhist scriptures copied by a girl enter the eyes of the monks of Dafu Temple and are sent to the eldest princess, which is a big long face.

"The Buddha's birthday is coming soon, and it's too late to hold on to the Buddha's feet. Li Chan pursed her lips.

The fourth girl, Li Yan, stretched out her hand and twisted her face: "Who made you usually lazy!"

Li Chan smiled and hid to the side: "Anyway, there is not much more than me, and there is a lot less than me, isn't there still the eldest sister and the second sister." ”

The "eldest sister" in Li Chan's mouth refers to Li Jiao, and the "second sister" refers to Li Jiao, a girl from Dongfu.

There are two girls in Dongfu, the second girl Li Jiao is a concubine, and she is the most loved by the old lady Jiang of the country, it can be said that several girls in Xifu went to the women's school opened in Dongfu, and they all accompanied the prince to study.

As for the fifth girl, Li Shu, she is a concubine, so there is no need to mention it.

The sixth sister laughed at me again. Li Jiao smiled gently.

Mrs. Deng opened her mouth in a sense of harmony: "The third girl is back." ”

The room is quiet, and the pin drop can be heard.

The fourth girl, Li Yan, and the sixth girl, Li Chan, couldn't help but go to see Li Jiao.

After the initial shock, Li Jiao looked surprised: "The third sister is back?"

Her hands were clenched tightly in the lilac sleeves.

"I was sent back today. ”

"Great, I thoughtβ€”" Li Jiao bit her lip in the middle of speaking, her voice choked.

Li Yan and Li Chan glanced at each other and remained silent.

"Alright, you three go back and rest. ”

Out of Qingsong Hall, Li Jiao asked Sister Li Yan: "Will the fourth sister and the sixth sister go with me to see the third sister?"

Li Yan's jaw tightened: "Let's go back to Jinrong Yuan first to say hello to my mother." ”

"Yes, who wants to see her, she was abducted and came back, and she was a dead person-"

"Sixth sister!" Li Yan glared at Li Chan in warning.

The two sisters walked to the intersection and said goodbye to Li Jiao.

Looking at their departing backs, Li Jiao pulled the corners of his mouth, returned to Yahe Yuan to greet the He family first, and proposed to see Li Zhao.

He Shi stopped the person himself: "No need, Zhaozhao has already rested." ”

"The daughter will come back to see her tomorrow. ”

Li Jiao returned to the East Cross Courtyard, and his face sank after entering the house.

"My girl, why are you upset?" a woman in her thirties hugged Li Jiao.

The woman combed her hair in a smooth bun and pinned it with a jasper hairpin, which was refreshing and neat.

"Nurse, I just came from my grandmother, and I heard her say that the third girl has returned. Tell me more about what happened today. ”

The nurse naturally paid attention to such a big event, and immediately told Li Jiao everything in detail.

After Li Jiao listened, his eyes were silent.

The nurse gritted her teeth: "That harmful spirit, why didn't she die outside! When she came back like this, it wasn't the girl who harmed her!"

Li Jiao suddenly smiled: "Nurse, it's okay, it's okay for her to come back." ”

The next morning, Shao Mingyuan led a team of guards out of the city quietly.

When the warm sun swayed for the entire capital, a terrifying thing spread.

The family of Lord Qiao, who returned to his hometown to guard filial piety, was actually hit by a fire, and only Qiao Gongzi, who went out to visit friends, survived, and was disfigured in order to save his young sister, and now he is living in the Kou Shangshu Mansion outside the house.

Although Lord Qiao temporarily bid farewell to the circle of Kyoto because of Ding Wei, he is a dignified second-class member after all, not to mention the son of Mr. Qiao, who is famous all over the world.

What's even more embarrassing is that the coffin of Lord Qiao's only concubine, the wife of the champion Hou, is still on the way to Beijing along with the coffins of the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country.

The Qiao family is really unlucky.

Countless people thought so.

Lord Shangshu Kou of the Criminal Department asked for a thorough investigation of the fire in Qiao's house, and Emperor Ming Kang promised to send Qin to Jiafeng to investigate.

Just when the matter of the Qiao family attracted everyone's attention, the people of Changchun Bofu quietly came to the door of the Li family and withdrew from the relationship between Changchun Bo's young son and Li Da Girl.
