247: Speechless
Last night, Xia Ruan had been thinking about a question.
Now that the eldest prince has not been demoted to a commoner by Emperor Jianguang, the six princes should not be impatient at this time.
Therefore, Tang Jingxuan should not take risks here.
This person's purpose is not only to come to her alone, but also to frame the Tang family.
Tang Jingxuan played the role of infatuation and guarded Wei Ting for three years. Then he will be in the capital in the coming day, not only has a good reputation, but also can attract many women who are waiting for the boudoir.
This time, no matter what the outcome is, the reputation of the Tang family will be somewhat affected.
Kill two birds with one stone.
Whether it is her or Tang Jingxuan, they must be braked with static during this time, and their movements will be restrained a lot.
Chongli looked at Xia Ruan, and then said softly, "Tang family, I didn't say anything. ”
Chongli didn't understand why Pingyang Hou didn't come out at this time to explain clearly. The third lady is a woman, so naturally she can't stand up and say anything to the people around her at this time, but maybe even if she says it, it's still useless. Didn't Pingyang Hou care about his reputation?
However, these days, it is rumored that Xiao Gongzi had an accident on the way, and some people even said that he committed suicide in fear of sin. Chongli listens to it every time and can't wait to go up and fight with those long-tongued women, and commit suicide in fear of sin? They can all make up such lies. Chongli didn't understand why Xiao Gongzi didn't stand up at this time and tell these people that he was actually alive and that he was still alive here.
Chongli clenched his hand tightly, and then didn't say a word.
Xia Ruan's brows furrowed. Start thinking.
That kind of desolation of being slandered, if it is not the person concerned, no one knows that kind of grief.
Rumors are tools that can kill people.
It is more terrible than any poison, and it kills without seeing blood.
"In the past few days, you continue to stay in the capital, if there is any news, you will tell me as soon as possible." Xia Ruan waited for a while before he said softly, "There is more." Tell Lord Xiao. These may just be tricks to test him, you must be careful, if you show a flaw at this time, then it will be a failure. And. I believe. The rumors don't stop there. And much more...... These people come with a purpose. ”
Chongli raised his head and looked at Xia Ruan.
He opened his mouth. I don't know how to comfort Xia Ruan.
Because what Xia Ruan said was not wrong, the next words may be even more difficult to listen to than these.
These rumors come inexplicably, if the ability to bear is a little worse, then you will definitely be angry with these rumors.
Chongli thought about what happened to him when he was in the Western Regions.
At that time, it was also these terrible rumors......
He has had a good relationship with his sister since he was a child.
Over the years, he made a living by following caravans to Daqin to sell spices. My sister is a master of perfumery, and the incense she makes makes the ladies of Daqin like it very much. Gradually, the environment in which he and his sister lived also improved.
On his sister's fifteenth birthday, he bought a peony hairpin from Daqin and gave it to his sister personally.
His sister is a big girl.
My sister has been sensible since she was a child, and he originally wanted to marry her sister to the boy next door, and her sister and teenager have been in love with each other over the years. But my sister insisted that she would not be willing to marry until he married a wife.
She still remembered that her sister was smiling happily at the time, with a sincere face: "Brother, if Lu'er gets married first, and you go home in the future, who will cook and do the laundry for you?" When you marry your sister-in-law, Lu'er will get married. Brother, if you don't marry, Lu'er won't marry. ”
Chongli took a deep breath and clenched his hands into a fist.
He and his sister had done something wrong to suffer such an unwarranted disaster.
At that time, he took the spices made by his sister, and was going to go to Daqin this time to come back, so he would find a wife and live a stable life. He and the caravan went to Daqin, and every time they had to pass through that barren desert, over the years, countless people had died in the desert. However, among the group of people who died, there were also his friends and even his father......
Countless dry bones, countless lives, have made Nissi prosperous today.
It's just that if you want to live and live well, you have to pay a price.
Chongli set off from Nixi with Cinnabar's caravan this time, he used to follow other caravans, and this time he chose Cinnabar's caravan because Cinnabar is a smart merchant. Every time the people who followed his caravan would earn a lot of silver in Daqin, this time Chongli was full of confidence in himself.
With enough silver, his sister and the rest of his life will not worry, and he will not have to go to Daqin again.
At that time, he could give his beloved woman a stable home.
He has been by his father's side since he was a child, his body is strong, and his martial arts are also good, especially in concocting poisons, he has learned from his mother for a long time. Those robbers were often encountered in the desert, and he had to learn these to defend himself, so when Cinnabar saw him, his eyes almost lit up.
"Chongli, are you really only doing one last business?" Cinnabar was wearing a mask at the time, and his voice was hoarse, "It's a pity, you are so good." ”
Chongli lowered his head and smiled awkwardly: "Well, I want to start a family." ”
"Oh?" Cinnabar couldn't help but smile and said, "The family can also continue to go to Daqin to do business." In this way, if you follow me, I will take you with me every time I go to Daqin? Well, I'll let you help me take care of the caravan. “
When Chongli heard this sentence from Cinnabar's mouth, the whole person was dumbfounded.
He had followed a lot of caravans over the years, and it was the first time that someone had taken him seriously like this.
If it had been before, Chongli would have been grateful, and he would have agreed to this matter immediately.
But now he can't...... He promised his sister that he would return well and start a family.
As the saying goes, unfilial piety is great. He is now twenty-five, and if he doesn't marry a wife, he will also drag down his sister.
Seeing that Chongli didn't speak, Cinnabar said, "I heard that you can make poison, colorless and tasteless?" ”
The people of Nixi are good at making poisons, but Chongli's mother used to be a sensational alchemist, so he inherited his mother's skills. The younger sister inherited her mother's perfume skills.
It's just that. Drug production is very popular and common in Nissi, and there is nothing unusual.
Chongli nodded: "Xiaohui, I used to learn from my mother." ”
"Wonderful poisonous lady...... "Cinnabar smiled, "Chongli, you really don't think about it, do you want to learn to do business with me?" ”
Chongli thought about it for a long time, but still shook his head and said, "Thank you, Cinnabar Boy, the little one wants to start a family." ”
Cinnabar's smile faded a little, but she didn't say anything. Just nodded and left.
Chongli thought that was the end of it.
Wait for him to return. You can live an ordinary life with your sister.
You don't have to wake up every day and start worrying about dying in the desert, let alone worrying that you won't be able to earn any money.
As Cinnabar said. After arriving in Daqin. He brought spices. He made twice as much money as before.
Several aristocratic wives of the Jiang family wrapped all his spices.
When Chongli looked at the silver, he was overjoyed. He kept bending down to say thank you to Cinnabar.
Cinnabar only said one sentence at that time: "If you really thank me, remember to come to me in the future, I can make you earn more silver...... Manly man, don't let those things hold you back from what doesn't matter. Your hands and body, don't start a family so early, you can be more brilliant. ”
But this was also the last thing Cinnabar said to him.
After Chongli returned from Daqin with the silver, something happened to his sister......
The young man next door has already married a wife, but his sister has been tarnished and does not dare to go out.
When he opened the door, he saw his sister, who was as thin as a dry bone, and the first thing she said when she looked up was, "I didn't talk to him, I didn't ......."
My sister was like a frightened little beast, with tears on her face.
Chongli was frightened, and he hurriedly walked to his sister's side: "Lu'er? What's wrong. ”
My sister didn't say anything but screaming.
Later, Chongli learned that when his sister went out to buy something, she was tarnished by someone. At that time, his heart was like a knife, and he hated why he wanted to go to Daqin to earn money and let his sister do such a thing.
Chongli stayed with his sister for a full year, and his sister's condition improved slightly.
My sister finally dared to go out and walk around, but I didn't want those people to still point fingers at my sister.
At that time, my sister looked at the group of people in despair and said, "I didn't talk to him, I didn't ......"
But in the face of those people, my sister's defense is powerless.
Chongli never expected that when he heard the news from outsiders, his sister was already standing on the city wall.
"You devils...... cried my sister, "you will suffer retribution, I am innocent, I have done nothing......"
With that, the younger sister jumped off the city wall.
Blood stained the bluestone ground under the city wall, and the people around were surprised by what her sister did.
However, my sister's strong temperament turned out to be counterproductive.
"Tsk, this is suicide in fear of sin, right? I didn't expect that these people are becoming more and more reserved. ”
"But no, if she really didn't do anything wrong, why did she jump off the wall? It must be a weak heart. ”
"It's really retribution, this kind of shameless woman deserves to fall to death like this......"
……
The words around him became more and more ugly, and Chongli finally understood why his sister always said that her life was worse than death in the past year.
Dirty words, hit people's hearts.
When no one believes in her, when the person she loves betrays her, for her...... There is no point in being alive.
Chongli looked at his sister and finally couldn't help crying.
After a long, long time...... Chongli knew which person was found by Cinnabar, so that when his sister died, he would have no worries and could follow Cinnabar with peace of mind.
So, his innocent sister was forced to death by cinnabar like this.
Chongli took a deep breath, he must die with cinnabar.
At this time, Xia Ruan raised his head and smiled at Chongli and said, "Also, you must tell Lord Xiao that I will definitely be fine." These rumors will not hurt me, and no matter how much they say, I will not take them to heart...... If a wild dog on this road bites you, of course you can't bite back...... But ......"
But you can let these wild dogs, throw corpses into the wilderness. (To be continued......) (To be continued......)
