Chapter 5: The Legendary Miss Ho of Kefu
The painting boat walked forward leisurely, and after a while, the painting boat that was wrong on the opposite side went a little far.
Wei Lai was still standing on the side of the boat, his eyes as if inadvertently swept over the painting boat again. When the two boats were close just now, she saw the person on the painting boat, it was a beautiful woman, her face was not beautiful, but she had a pair of beautiful eyes that made people amazed at first sight. It was Wei Lai, who was also attracted to her for a moment.
Fortunately, the painting boat was just passing by, and before Wei came back to his senses, he also missed it and went far away......
At some point, there was a sound of a piano on the lake. Wei Lai, who has never even read a book, naturally doesn't understand these elegant things, but standing on the side of the boat and listening, it feels good, and even the impatience in his heart gradually dissipates.
The conversation in the cabin of the painting boat continued, but perhaps because of the sound of the piano, the object of the topic finally moved away from Wei Lai.
Or Lao Wu shouted in his loud voice, and he could hear it from afar: "Eh, this piano sounds good, it's comfortable to listen to." I don't know which little lady is playing the piano, if we can invite us to play on the boat, then it would be good. ”
Immediately afterwards, a girl's coquettish laughter came out, and the volume naturally couldn't be compared with Lao Wu, but it was enough for Wei Lai outside to hear clearly: "Don't joke about the guest officer." Most of the sisters only come out at night to do business, and most of the people who come to visit Jingming Lake in the middle of the day are the sons and ladies of some big families, and they just play the piano on a whim, so they won't be invited. ”
Hearing this, someone casually asked: "Then do you know which young lady played the piano just now?" ”
The woman laughed twice more and said, "Don't embarrass me this guest officer, there are hundreds of tourists on this Jingming Lake every day, how do I know who is interested in playing the piano." After a pause, he continued: "But just now I seem to have seen Miss He's boat passing by, and this Miss He's piano is also a must in the capital, maybe she played it, right?" ”
Miss Ho? Wei Lai's eyes flashed slightly, and he remembered this name in his heart.
It's been seven years since the Dingbei Army and this group of people went out on the expedition, not to mention that none of the people who came today were locals from Jingshi, even if there were locals, I was afraid that they didn't know the name of Miss He. Everyone has curiosity, and when they heard the woman say it, everyone suddenly became interested and asked one after another.
Obviously, this topic was also deliberately provoked by the woman, and she was naturally happy to answer: "If you want to say that this Miss He is also famous in this capital, I am afraid that only people who have just returned to Beijing like the guest officials do not know." ”
He Lin is a person who likes to join in the fun, and he also loves gossip. At this time, he hurriedly asked: "Is it?" Then tell us how Miss He is so famous. ”
But this time it was another female voice who replied, and it sounded like the one who was next to He Lin before: "This Miss He is famous, mainly because of three o'clock." First, her father is the current official of the Ministry of Shangshu, which can be described as a high authority. Second, she is quite talented and proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. As for the third......"
The woman sold the guanzi, and He Lin was listening energetically, so he naturally cooperated and asked, "What about the third?" ”
When the woman heard this, she covered her mouth and smiled stupidly: "This is three, but it's not a good thing." Miss He's reputation can be spread to everyone in this capital, and it is precisely because of this third. Because Miss Ho is her, Kefu! ”
After being hung for a long time, he came to such a conclusion, and He Lin was naturally dissatisfied. He pursed his lips, and there was some disdain in his tone: "I still tell how it is, so that's it." We have all just come down from the battlefield, which one has not been stained with blood in his hands, and he has not carried dozens of lives on his back, and he is still afraid of this? I don't believe this kind of thing. ”
Obviously, this group of men in the Dingbei Army all thought the same as He Lin. They all crawled out of the sea of corpses and blood, and none of them were not hard to die, but they didn't believe in this kind of ghost and god numerology.
Xu was a little unhappy when he saw the disapproving look of this group of people, and another girl snorted lightly: "Don't believe it, guest officers. Our sisters are also women, how can they casually take this kind of talk about the reputation of the bad lady? Besides, it is impossible for Lord He to let this kind of rumor go unchecked. But this matter of Miss He is really too evil, and no one can believe it. ”
As soon as he said two sentences, everyone's interest was immediately raised. He Lin smiled: "Okay, you say, let's listen, and then believe it or not." ”
The woman laughed twice, and didn't bother to care, so she continued: "This Miss He, this year has passed Double Ten, but she hasn't married yet, precisely because she has killed three fiancés before and after. ”
Three?! That's a bit much, and it's a bit evil. He Lin and the others glanced at each other and waited for the following.
The woman who spoke broke off a finger and said, "This first one is the second son of Mrs. Zhang's family." Back then, he also had some reputation in the capital, and he was still a graceful and graceful young man. It's a pity that he just got married to Miss He's family, and in less than half a year, he fell into the water and drowned. It's not unusual to fall into the water and drown a handful of people, but it's strange that this Zhang Gongzi was originally a ...... who knew water."
After finishing speaking, the woman didn't look at everyone's expressions, just broke off another finger and continued: "Although Gongzi Zhang died strangely, no one said anything to Miss He at that time, so Master He set another family affair for Miss He. This time is the eldest grandson of the Jin family, he has read very well since he was a child, and the year he and Miss He got married happened to be the year of the scientific examination, so the two families agreed to wait for the scientific examination after the two of them got married, and it was also a happy event for the big and small Dengke to get together. ”
"And then?" He Lin couldn't help but ask.
The woman didn't sell it either, shrugged her shoulders and said, "Then there will be no more." The eldest grandson of the Jin family was carried back to the house from the Gongyuan, and died halfway home before he could get home. I heard that the scientific expedition is exhausting, but the Jin family attaches great importance to this eldest grandson, and he began to condition his body half a year before the scientific expedition, and he also cut his pulse before entering the tribute courtyard, and he was fine, but who knew that people went in vertically, but they came out horizontally,"
"Tsk, that sounds a bit evil." He Lin sighed.
"Cut, it's just two people who just died, it's just a coincidence, what's the big deal. My old Wu doesn't believe in these evil ways. The bearded old Wu still looked disappreciative, but after finishing speaking, he couldn't help but ask: "Didn't you say three, but there is one?" ”
Seeing that he didn't believe it, the woman was not annoyed, and continued with a smile: "This third one, the death is even more simple. Because Miss He has two fiancés killed in a row, even if Lord He presses it, there are faint rumors in the capital, and those officials and gentlemen in the court dare not marry his family. In the end, it was a member of the Ministry of Industry who begged for a kiss with a shy face, and his son was still able to do it, and he did something at a young age, but he was just in the field.
Seeing that Miss He was delayed by these two marriages and her reputation was also getting older and her reputation was ruined, He Shangshu thought about it and finally agreed. But who knew that when the son of the foreigner got the news and returned to Beijing, he fell off a horse and fell off a cliff on the way, and ended up dead without a body. It's good now, Miss He's reputation as a Kefu has completely spread......"
As soon as she finished speaking, another woman next to her interjected: "I heard that later, some people looked at He Shangshu's power and still begged for marriage despite the rumors, but they all suffered a catastrophe in less than three days." It's been two or three years, and no one dares to go to He's house anymore. ”
The last person concluded: "Hey, don't talk about these chasing after the wind and shadows, but Miss He's three fiancés did die quite strangely." This Miss He has a good family background and talents, but she is too evil. ”
Wei Lai stood outside the cabin and listened to all the conversations, sneered and shook his head, but when he looked up, he was long gone.
To say that Miss He is really unlucky, these things are indeed too coincidental together, and in the end, she was also affected and ruined. But if you want to talk about Kefu or something, Wei Lai doesn't believe it.
In this world, where are there any gods, demons and monsters? In this life, where is there any numerology? The road has always been walked by people, just like she ...... herself.
