Chapter 131: Midnight Blood
If his wife shirks in every possible way, Li Cong has something to say, and even takes the opportunity to lose his temper, but now his wife even has a dowry, where is Li Tong embarrassed, he is also full of poetry and books, the eldest husband can't support the family, but wants to sell his wife's dowry, which is a shame for men, just like that, he can't say anything if he wants to borrow silver.
Su Yihua picked up the handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes and said: "Xianggong, two days ago, my mother's family came to say that my grandmother was not in good health, and I wanted me to go back and take a look, I had already told my mother yesterday, and my mother agreed that I should go back and have a look." ”
"That's as it should be. Li Tong didn't care, Yuanpingbo's Mansion was not far from the Princess's Mansion, and it was very convenient to go back and forth, so he suddenly thought of something and ordered, "If you see your ninth sister, just talk to her, beg her, you are also sisters no matter what you say, even if she has any requests, as long as it is not too much, you can agree." ”
Li Tong was hinting that he could give gifts, Su Yihua lowered his eyebrows, but there was a flash of light in his eyes.
When Su Yihua returned to Yuanping Bofu, he happened to pass by Su Yiqing.
made her breathe a sigh of relief, although she had made up her mind, but the maid beside her had a broken mouth, maybe there would be the informant, if she didn't pretend to beg for a while, I was afraid that she would not be able to explain.
It's so good, and everybody is in trouble.
……
Su Yiqing returned to the county lord's mansion, and saw Mrs. Cen today, which made her feel very much, Mrs. Cen who was once majestic and full of words in Bofu, looked extremely weak due to illness, with white hair and wrinkles on her face, no different from an ordinary old woman.
Mrs. Cen still didn't like her, so she just saluted. As long as you fulfill your obligations, there is no lack of filial piety for children and grandchildren around Mrs. Cen.
Because she was depressed, she went for a walk in the garden.
Looking at the flowers in the garden, she didn't know why, and felt even more sullen.
Xin'er kept following her, and she couldn't help but say, "County Lord, it's windy today, so let's go back to the room early." ”
"Shut up. You don't care. Su Yiqing was not in a very good mood, so she scolded her.
Xin'er bowed her head and didn't dare to speak.
After walking a few steps, a gust of wind blew, faintly blowing a burst of singing and laughter mixed with bursts of fat powder aroma.
Su Yiqing's face suddenly became ugly, no wonder Xin'er said just now, this place is very close to Dingwang's Mansion, and it is lively over there.
I think she was really wrong at the beginning, she thought that Lian Yufeng would be exiled to another country with the respect of the prince. Leaving his hometown and becoming a hostage is really a hero's loneliness, and he can't help but feel sympathy. It seems that she is a woman's kindness. Some people are not worthy of sympathy, how much conscience can the person who was able to disregard the happiness of others and use the peace between the two countries to force Zhao Boyang to marry his sister?
Maybe now, even Yufeng doesn't have the power he used to have, but he is even more unscrupulous. Being able to enjoy the wealth of the world and live a happy life is not necessarily worse than before.
And she is worried.
"County Lord......" Xin'er looked at Su Yiqing worriedly.
"I'm fine. Su Yiqing said softly, although she said so. There was a hint of loneliness in his voice, "I want to walk alone." Don't follow me. ”
"Yes, Lord Shire. Xin'er stopped.
Su Yiqing first walked around the garden, and then walked slowly along a path, the huge county lord's mansion, she had not completely visited it at all, along the way, she only felt that many places were very unfamiliar, the home was too big, there was no feeling of home, or this was a necessary element of a home, family, without the family's mansion, it could only be called a residence, not a home.
In fact, you can't ask too much for being a person, how many people are still struggling for three meals and one night, in contrast, she is just lacking one, but she is already very lucky.
"I've seen the county lord. When Su Yiqing was thinking about it, a voice with surprise came from behind her.
When I turned around, I saw a round apple face, but it was green.
"No courtesy. Su Yiqing was not in the mood to chat with a little girl, let alone that this Qingwu still wanted something.
"County Lord......" Qingwu took a step forward first, and had something to say but didn't dare to say.
"Qingwu, be content, you know?" Su Yiqing said lightly.
After Su Yiqing said this, she turned around and was about to leave.
Qingwu couldn't help but take two more steps.
Su Yiqing was really impatient this time, stopped and looked at her coldly.
Qingwu is really a little at a loss, if she is disgusted by the county lord this time, maybe she will be sold to the mansion, just like Shuangxi, everyone still doesn't know where Shuangxi offended the county lord, so they are all a little trembling, she is just a little anxious, the day before yesterday begged Mama Li to let someone go to find out the news of her father, saying that her father's accumulation of hard work has eased, but after not working and calming down, the depression is even heavier.
Seeing that the county lord's face was cold, Qingwu was in a hurry, and hurriedly knelt down and said: "County lord, the slave and maid family has received the great favor of the county lord, and there is nothing to repay, only a salary is dedicated to the county lord, hoping to repay one or two." ”
Su Yiqing said lightly: "I think that at the beginning, when you asked me to save your father, you said that there was a recipe worth a thousand gold to offer, but I took your family from Zhuangzi and asked people to take care of your father, but I didn't see you mention the recipe afterwards, Qingwu, everyone wants to pay a very small price to get a rich report, but they don't know, too many calculations will be in vain." ”
"County master, the slave and maid family have no such intention, and the slave and maid are sincerely grateful to the county lord. Qingwu was so anxious that she kowtowed, her head was on the bluestone slab, and it was red and swollen after a few strokes, and she was about to break the skin and bleed.
"Stop. Su Yiqing scolded, "What are you doing, making people see that I am abusing my servant, it's really hateful." ”
"County master, slave, slave and maid, slave and maid......" Qingwu stopped, even more at a loss.
"If you don't ask for anything else, then you don't need to say thank you, and if you want something else, I can only say that love can't help. After Su Yiqing finished speaking, she raised her legs and left.
Qingwu was stunned for a long time, and then went back in despair, and then told her mother about it, her mother had nothing to say except sighing, and she couldn't bear to scold her daughter.
Unexpectedly, after a while, Xin'er came, saying that it was their family, and the younger brother was in charge of the outer courtyard, and the separation of flesh and blood of the family was not very good.
Qingwu was shocked and wanted to beg, but was pinched by her mother and signaled her not to talk nonsense.
After that, Qingwuniang thanked Xin'er very seriously, and didn't dare to delay for a moment, so she packed up her things and went to the outer courtyard.
After settling down in the outer courtyard, Qingwu couldn't help but shed tears, and said: "Mother, it's all my fault, I don't listen to you, I'm so anxious, this provoked the disgust of the county lord and was kicked out, how is this good?"
Qingwu Niang sighed secretly, touched her daughter's hair, and comforted: "I don't blame you, it's just that there have been a lot of things in the county lord's mansion recently, and the prince is there...... The county lord is not happy, and even if he is not kicked out, the county lord has no intention of helping us. ”
"But, mother, what about Dad?" Qingwu burst into tears when she thought of her father.
"Saiong is not blessed, our family has not done anything wrong, God will bless us, no matter how bitter it is, can it be more bitter than before in Zhuangzi? Qingwu Niang has a tough temperament and slowly comforts her daughter.
Qingwu Niang tried her best to comfort her daughter, but Qingwu still felt guilty, and she didn't know if it was because the weather was hot at night, or because she was irritable and couldn't sleep, and she didn't want to wake up her mother who was sleeping on the same bed, so she sneaked out of the door and took a walk in the yard.
Her nose has always been very smart, and she suddenly smelled a trace of fresh blood floating in the air, and she couldn't help but be startled, and hurriedly woke up her mother.
After Qingwuniang got up, she followed the smell of blood all the way, only walked behind a wall, and then couldn't go.
Since their mother and son had just moved to this outer courtyard and didn't know what was behind the wall, Qingwu Niang asked him to quickly find his younger brother Qinggang.
Qinggang is washing horses in the stable, this work is very tiring, I fell asleep early in the morning, and was woken up by my sister at this time, and came over with sleepy eyes.
Qingwu Niang hurriedly asked: "Gang'er, what is the place behind this wall?"
Qinggang glanced around, and didn't want to say: "Mother, this wall is so high, I want to know, behind this wall is the outer house, if I remember correctly, there is an alley outside, and then there is the gate of other houses." ”
"The door of another house, is it the Dingwang Mansion?" Qingwu Niang hurriedly asked.
"No, the steward won't let us say that the palace is something else. Qing rubbed her eyes and muttered, "Mother, sister, it's been three shifts in the middle of the night, let's talk about it tomorrow, I'm so sleepy." ”
Qingwu Niang snorted, frowned, and said, "No, something must have happened to this, Gang'er, you are agile, climb up the wall to take a look." ”
Qinggang was startled, and the sleepiness disappeared all of a sudden, and said: "Mother, don't be kidding, such a high wall, don't say I can't climb it, even if I climb up, in case I am treated as a thief by the guards in the house, an arrow shoots over, and my life is gone, you don't know in the inner courtyard, the guards in this outer courtyard are all masters of riding and archery, patrolling with bows and arrows on weekdays, to see that something is wrong, it is an arrow to come, let's not stand here and talk, it will be miserable to be treated as a thief, hurry back to the house, you look at the dead of night, The dog doesn't bark, what can it do?"
"No, something must have happened. Qingwu Niang said to Qingwu, "You hurry up and find a way to go into the inner courtyard to inform the county lord, remember to whisper, don't shout." ”
"But mother, at this time, everywhere should be locked, how to enter?" Qingwu knew that the situation was strict, but she still knew the situation, and at this time, everywhere was locked, and she couldn't go lightly.
"It doesn't matter so much, whether you climb or drill, you must go in, this may be an opportunity for us." Qingwuniang looked at the high courtyard wall with a solemn expression.
"Good. Qingwu gritted her teeth, lifted her skirt and turned around and ran.
"Steel, you bring those here. Qingwu Niang instructed Qinggang to move things......
ps:
The plot is a little tense, ask for something. _
