248 The jade is burned
After the truth was revealed, Zhu Shouqian broke free of Xu Miaoyi's hand again, "No one forced me, I like it myself, I will forget all the pain after eating, I never thought that life would be so happy." ”
Xu Miaoyi choked, paused, and said, "Cousin, you look in the mirror and see how you look like a person and a ghost, this thing will destroy people's minds!" You can't eat any more, you'll die. ”
No wonder my cousin is so depraved!
When Xu Miaoyi used to be a doctor, she once saw with her own eyes that wealthy businessmen and landlords were addicted to these addictive "elixirs", their wives were separated, their families were ruined, and they froze to death on the streets without repentance.
Zhu Shouqian actually smiled, "Cousin, people are inherently dead, sooner or later, I have already thought about it, rather than living in pain, it is better to die happily." Otherwise, he will be reincarnated as a royal family in this life, rich and noble, why bother living a miserable life and asking for troubles. ”
Seeing her depraved cousin, Xu Miaoyi was distressed, she instinctively reached out to comfort her cousin, but Zhu Shouqian shrank behind the porch, "The five stone powder is still there, don't touch me, it hurts." ”
Xu Miaoyi just held his hand, but he felt that the skin of his hands hurt as if he was being peeled alive.
Xu Miaoyi's hand stopped in mid-air awkwardly, in a dilemma, she and her cousin Zeng Jin because she deliberately pretended to have amnesia, and they should not know each other when they reunited in ten years. Now reunited again after eight years, the two are fatally close to the end of the world.
A shallow threshold separates cousins who were once close and shared life and death.
Xu Miaoyi's eyes closed slightly, and then she opened them, her eyes were full of pain and struggle, and her eyes were resolute and decisive, "Come on, help King Jingjiang move the house, ask the imperial doctor to prescribe medicine, and clean him up of the poison of the five stones in his body!" ”
Ma Sanbao obeyed the order, carried a quilt, surrounded Zhu Shouqian wrapped in zongzi, and was carried to a clean palace by a group of strong eunuchs, away from the old house burning with acacia incense.
Zhu Shouqian struggled in the quilt, "Let go of me!" You eunuchs! I'm going to tear you to pieces! Yes! It hurts! You tap! I'm going to kill you! Kill you! Damn eunuchs! ”
Zhu Shouqian's scattered hair revealed a strand from the quilt, black, messy, naturally curled, fluttering in the north wind in early winter, like a rootless ping, drifting with the waves.
Xu Miaoyi muttered: "Cousin, I won't give up on you easily, even if you have fallen to hell, I will pull you back!" There are only two of us left in the Xie family......"
Only halfway through, Xu Miaoyi suddenly heard a burst of crying from children of all sizes! At first, she thought it was a hallucination, but a group of beautiful women led and held about a dozen children to stop Xu Miaoyi and her group.
The eldest child should be eight years old, with innocent eyes open, looking at Xu Miaoyi curiously, and the small appearance is somewhat similar to Zhu Shouqian; The little one was still wrapped in swaddling clothes, and his head was not very steady, and he had just turned 100 years old.
The beautiful woman led by the eight-year-old boy and knelt in the white frost meadow, "This is our county prince's cousin, Princess Yan, right?" I beg Princess Yan to be merciful and let go of the prince of the county! ”
As soon as the two knelt down, the women and children behind them also knelt on the ground, and the children, who could not walk, were held in their arms by the women, and they were so frightened that they cried.
Ma Sanbao was worried that Xu Miaoyi was being hit by someone, so he stopped in front and shouted, "Who are you?" Dare to block the road halfway! What about the guards of the Zongren Mansion? How can you just let the idle people come in? ”
Zhu Shouqian, who was wrapped in the quilt, also shouted loudly, "Let me down, these are my wives and children, my heart and liver baby!" ”
At this time, a woman with a haggard face and a miserable expression hurriedly ran over surrounded by the maid and mother-in-law, and with her past memories, Xu Miaoyi recognized this woman as her cousin-in-law, Princess Xu of Jingjiang.
The Xu family is a member of Xu Da, the Duke of Wei, and in terms of the seniority of the maternal family, she is also Xu Miaoyi's elder. Originally a village girl in the countryside of Fengyang, after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, her father was stained with the light of the clansman Wei Guogong, became a small officer, and moved his family to the capital.
When Xu married in Guilin's Jingjiang Palace, Xu Miaoyi once went to Xu's house for a banquet and gave Xu a set of gold-encrusted ruby head jewelry.
I still remember that when Xu got married, she was still a beautiful woman, gentle and shy, with a beautiful look of a new wife between her eyebrows, and now eight years have passed, and she has not yet reached the age of thirty, and she is four years younger than Xu Miaoyi, and she actually shows her old state!
Xu Miaoyi didn't wait for Xu's salute, and pointed to a group of beautiful women and children kneeling on the ground, "What's going on?" ”
Xu wanted to cry first, "They are the concubines used by the prince of the county, and these children are also the blood and blood of the prince of the county." ”
Xu Miaoyi didn't believe it, "Since it's my cousin's flesh and blood, why didn't I send someone to the capital to report the good news when I was born, go to the Zongren Mansion to ask for my name, write it into the clan roster, and wait for the canonization of the title and the distribution of Yulu?" ”
Xu cried: "Because their mothers are from humble backgrounds and have no reputation, according to the rules of the royal family, only the children born by the serious side concubines and concubines are recognized, and the rest of the slaves and prostitutes/prostitutes, although they are not forbidden to give birth, but the children born are not recognized by the royal family, let alone entered into the roster and enjoy the money, they are all raised by the county king's mansion out of their own pockets." ”
I see!
After the cousin went to the domain, he was indifferent to the mediocre Xu family, only spoiled the beautiful concubines, and the children were born like rabbits in a litter, one by one nameless and undivided fools, the royal family did not raise, Zhu Shouqian took out his own silver to make up for it, and kept recruiting newcomers into the palace, and had a habit of taking five stone powder and other extravagant injuries, so every year he reached out to his cousin-in-law Zhu Di to ask for money, and if he didn't give it, he would sprinkle it, saying that he wanted to borrow money from Xu Miaoyi.
Zhu Di couldn't bear Xu Miaoyi's sadness, so he kept carrying it for him.
Xu Miaoyi secretly counted, there were a total of ten children! And their mothers are all dressed charmingly, their eyes are empty, and at first glance, they are not right-hearted, blindly competing for favor.
Zhu Shouqian scolded in the quilt: "Cousin! Don't listen to this jealous slut! She can't tolerate my women, not to say that they are from low backgrounds and have improper backgrounds, and she has been holding back and refusing to nod their heads to give them names, and the children have been raised in a daze. ”
Xu knelt on the ground, crying with tears and gall, "Wronged! I abide by the duty of a wife, this kind of slave and prostitute is just a plaything, many people are not a perfect life when they enter the house, the child in the belly is not the prince of the county, and they have invited pets and flattery, attracting the prince of the county to sing day and night, wine pond meat forest, how can I nod my head and accept them into the door and give them a name? Once the scandal spread to the capital, the master of the Zongren Mansion asked for the guilt, saying that I confused the royal blood and took the position of the princess of my county, wouldn't I die without a place to be buried? ”
Hearing Xu's cry, and then smelling the residual acacia incense on these beautiful women, a sense of despair arose, her abdomen tightened, Xu Miaoyi's figure was crooked, Ma Sanbao and Haishou hurriedly supported her left and right, and helped her to the warm sedan chair.
In the warm sedan chair, Xu Miaoyi cried silently, her cousin has been immersed in beauties, spirits, and five stones for eight years, and his body and mind have fallen like this, and he chose to give up himself. He is hopeless, he is not in hell at the moment, he has been reborn, he has become a spoiled concubine and wife, a deaf and incompetent wicked person, he is hell......
After Ma Sanbao and the others left, the eunuchs also released Zhu Shouqian in the quilt, and a litter of children rushed over and cried "Father", Zhu Shouqian chased away the flies like a disgusted sleeve, "Don't come here, don't touch me, this king is dying of pain!" ”
The children are not sensible, and the Xu family and the beautiful women know that he has eaten Wushi San, and he is dispersing medicine, his skin is fragile, and the slightest touch hurts like being cut by a knife.
The beautiful women took the children away with interest, and Xu looked at her husband with disgust and fear, and after a moment's pause, she decided to fulfill her responsibilities as the princess of the county, and stepped forward to persuade: "Xianggong, you-"
Zhu Shouqian said angrily: "If Princess Yan comes next time, don't scare her away by crying, stabilize her first, say that I know it's wrong, reduce the dosage of Wushisan, and slowly quit in the future, she will be happy." Taking advantage of her good mood, you quickly open your mouth to borrow money, it is best to put the small stone - that is, the tenth child in her arms and beg her, she is soft-hearted, the pregnant woman is sympathetic, she has a lot of private silver, I know this, Wei Guogong Xu Da gave her half of the family property as a dowry, and King Yan hurt her again, although you open your mouth widely, your mouth is five thousand taels, understand? ”
Xu Shi was resigned, "But...... My cousin has always been famous and a smart person, and I am afraid that she will turn her face on the spot and embarrass me. Not only could we not borrow money, but we broke off contact in a fit of rage in the future, and even King Yan didn't lend us money, what will happen in the future? ”
Zhu Shouqian raised his slap and looked hideous, "If you listen to me and open your mouth to borrow money, she may embarrass you." But if you don't listen to me, you will break a big thing, believe it or not, I will embarrass you anytime and anywhere! ”
Xu Shi's face turned pale with fright, and he nodded frequently, "Yes, yes, I listen to Xianggong." ”
Xu fled in a hurry with the support of the maid's mother-in-law, and this scene was transmitted to the ears of Xu Miaoyi of Yanwangfu by the onlookers, Xu Miaoyi drank fetal pills, and her heart was like ashes.
Zhu Shouqian drank cold wine in the north wind, exuding medicinal properties, and then returned to the palace, lit the acacia incense, and was thinking about asking the beautiful woman who was deeply friends to sleep, Zhu Di walked in from the back door.
Zhu Di doused the lily incense with cold wine, "You have done a little too much, you can think of it in Wushisan, Miaoyi is almost so angry that she has a tire." ”
Zhu Shouqian's eyes were clear, how could he be a little ridiculous, "It's not so ridiculous, how can you make her angry." Xu is the emperor's eyeliner, my every move is under her surveillance, in fact, Wushisan was secretly put into the wine by her first, I pretended not to know, of course, I didn't do it, I just did it. ”
Zhu Di said: "But you are so self-defiled, there will never be a day to clear your name in the future, I see what my father means, the Zongren Mansion will take you away from the title and ban Fengyang." ”
Zhu Shouqian said indifferently: "The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty." My father died on this sentence back then, and now that the jade is burning, the emperor will no longer suspect me, so that my cousin can avoid being implicated. I'm not for you, I'm for her. But thank you for helping me in this scene. 166 Reading Network
