002 Hope
Far away in the land of Yanjing, the night is low, and the cool breeze blows away the scorching heat of summer, with the coolness of late autumn.
Jin Rong was able to subside from the fever, his face was pale at this time, his lips were chapped, and he was lying on the quilt made by Chu Jin, looking weak and dying.
Seven days of high fever made Jinrong lose its previous pity and delicateness, and it looked white and withered, no matter how beautiful the beauty was, she couldn't stand being beaten twice a day, and a fever was seven or eight days.
In addition, no one dared to disobey the emperor's order, but the Shen Criminal Division really hit 20 boards, hurting his muscles and bones, and it would definitely be difficult to get off the ground if he didn't lie in bed for a hundred days.
Jin Rong woke up weakly, and his whole body was soft and weak: "I...... Why am I here...... "This is not her room in the Prince's Palace, what's wrong with her?" Why is it so ugly?
Jin Rong was shocked, lifted the quilt on his body and was about to go to the ground: "I want to go back...... I'm going to ...... back, "Bang! Her head fell back onto the pillow, and she only lifted her head up a moment the whole time.
Seeing this, Song Xixi hurriedly held her down: "What are you doing!" I don't want to live anymore! Don't move! I'll pour you water. β
"Boom...... Where is this? It's ......"
"Drink water first, don't ask anything, just wake up, just wake up, don't move, good child, it's the best policy to take care of your injuries."
Jin Rong was beaten and had a fever in the afternoon, and Zhang Liangyuan took the initiative to move the person to the South Courtyard to recuperate. Jin Rong was in a coma, who dared to disobey the ancestors of Zifu Pavilion, Jin Rong and other girls were also treated with cats and dogs on the side of the road and were sent out by Zhang Liangyuan.
Fortunately, Gonggong Li has a friendship in the palace, and the people below look at Gonggong Li's face, so they don't treat Jinrong badly, and the layout of this small courtyard in the south is decent, which is much better than Jinrong can only get a small house in the palace of the prince.
Jin Rong didn't want to drink, how could she not know that the sick people in Lu Dao would be sent out, but a few people who were sent out could go back: "I...... No...... Drink ......" The tears of grievance slipped out of the deep sunken eyes, which was really not beautiful.
Song sighed, put the water to her mouth and let her drink, and then persuaded bitterly: "What are you crying about, it is a great blessing for the girl to wake up."
The old slave heard that the prince was going to leave for the palace tomorrow, and when the time came, when the prince came back, he saw that the girl was living here, and he didn't arouse pity, what the girl had to do now was to raise her spirit, raise her beautiful complexion, and not let the Zifu Pavilion be satisfied! β
Jin Rong exclaimed: "The prince is coming back?" β
Song Xixi nodded: "Well, on the return journey of a month, the girl should think carefully about how to vent her anger...... Zhang Liangyuan is simply bold! Dare to torture you if you catch an ambiguous word! Such an intolerant woman! How can you gain a foothold in the harem! β
Jin Rong clenched his teeth when he heard this, and his eyes were full of hatred!
How could she swallow this breath! The injuries on her body are real humiliation, Zhang Qiyue's hooked up woman beat her, the emperor also added 20 boards, and the most was sent to this ghost place, how will she gain a foothold in the prince's palace in the future, how to serve the public!
The prince must be in charge of her this time! You must see Zhang Qiyue's original face! The empty length is beautiful, but she is just a femme fatale!
"Jinrong, drink some water." Song Xixi was afraid that Jin Rong would be depressed, and told her that only an appropriate show of weakness would show Zhang Qiyue's barbarism, not to mention, the South Courtyard had the common memory of the prince and Jin Rong, which could arouse the prince's pity.
"Really? β¦β¦β
"Naturally, but the girl is no longer obedient and doesn't take good care of her body, even if the prince comes back, she can't afford to pity the girl." As he spoke, he took a mirror and showed it to Jin Rong.
Jin Rong suddenly saw the woman in the mirror, and almost fainted in fright: "This ...... This ...... "It's not her, it's a lie, a lie!"
Song sighed: "Jin Rong, take care of it, how can you fight with her like this, there is no man who doesn't like beautiful things, and the prince is no exception." β
Jin Rong was so frightened that she hurriedly took a few sips of water, and looked at Song Haoxi weakly, will she get better? Will it be?
Song Yuxi nodded hurriedly, and also reported the meaning of a fight, she was close to Jinrong, and everyone in the Chujun Palace knew it, so she could only help her at this time.
Jin Rong suddenly thought of something, and looked at her urgently.
Seeing this, Song shook his head wordlessly.
When she learned that the queen was helpless against Zhang Liangyuan, Jin Rong's fists clenched, and she exerted her strength to pinch out shallow red marks.
Song Xixi hurriedly appeased: "Okay, little aunt and grandmother, this Zhang Liangyuan is not as easy to deal with as we thought, the queen's account is not bought, the emperor blindly spoils her, we can't get any benefits from her, let's wait for the prince to come back......"
If she had known that Lu Dao was like this, Song Xixi would not dare to let Jinrong make a move.
Can...... Thinking about what Jin Rong did wrong, she just said a word, if Zhang Liangyuan knew the rules, she should avoid one or two, but she just ate on time, if she could be tired, she would make so many troubles!
Song Xi thought fiercely, seeing the prince come back, how did the prince clean her up, the prince is the most annoying and arrogant person, and there is no one in his eyes!
β¦β¦
Qi Yue has been very comfortable recently, and the people around her are all speaking with caution.
In the prince, she became the only master, two days ago, Chen Xixi, who managed the account room, actually handed over the key, that is a big fat shortage, it is the real position of power, Chen Xixi is willing to use it to please Zhang Liangyuan, what a big bet!
Chen Xixiao died unjustly, how could she be willing to gamble, even if the real crown princess returned to the throne, she was not willing to hand over the key, but the emperor sent Father-in-law Qin to talk to her, if she didn't give it, wouldn't she be looking for death!
Chen Xixi couldn't say anything, he could only hold the first-class power but was tied to a four-grade good lady on the boat, and he had to pretend to be willing no matter how unwilling he was.
Zhang Qiyue is not interested in caring if their surrender is sincere, she will accept the power to hand it over, as long as it does not fall into the hands of people she doesn't like, she doesn't care.
Zhang Qiyue wandered around the courtyard, the most important thing in the palace is the garden, in addition to the serious four imperial gardens, each hall has a small garden.
Zhang Qiyue sat in the gazebo, listening to the music, basking in the sun, the weather was cool very quickly, it was rare to be cool in autumn today, the most suitable for listening to the song, and taking a lunch break: "The one in the south courtyard is still alive?" β
Luckily, when she heard this, she looked at the flowers on the side embarrassedly, and saw that her old face really showed a look of disapproval, and hurriedly said, "Little ...... Liangyuan Niangniang, we are from the palace, and we must speak tactfully......"
Zhang Qiyue glanced at her, and half-leaned back in the chair and pretended to sleep: "Okay, she didn't ...... when she died."
I was dazzled and embarrassed, and thought: You see, it's not that I don't persuade you, it's useless to persuade me, it's better to be a tactful first question.
"No...... The people below have sharp eyes, good medicines and herbs, and it is said that they woke up two days ago......"
Zhang Qiyue shook her head when she heard this, didn't say anything, listened to the song, squinted her eyes and continued to pretend to sleep, she died so cheaply, she was not happy to die, she grinded slowly, didn't she just polish her arrogance back then, she also grinded Jinrong, anyway, she was idle.
β¦β¦
Zhang Chensheng was almost cornered, his official position was lost, and the supervision history was still staring at him, and he was impeached for not being strict with his housekeepers, and the family could hardly open the pot, and the position of these five-grade petty officials was also shaky.
The two old women in the family always quarreled, and the government confiscated all his money and returned it to Zhao Yuyan, he and the people in the family were already penniless, and the food and clothing were not as good as ever, do you regret it?
Repenting of his death, he asked himself which tendon was wrong to think that he owed Ji and regarded Ji's children as his children;
How could she quarrel with Zhao Yuyan, and even get into the status of harmony, Zhao Yuyan is much better than the people around her regardless of her background and appearance, and even the pair of children she gave birth to now have their own achievements.
The daughter entered the palace, and the son made a meritorious service. Ha Lu Ha! In the past, when I heard Zhang Qidian's name, I quickly hid my daughter's family, and I regretted dying! Just like he regrets not doing it now!
Zhang Chensheng was happy for a while, thinking of the current situation, his mood fell to the bottom, Zhang Qiyue he couldn't see it, Qidian hadn't come back yet, it was impossible to expect them to be filial to him.
But he believes that as long as he survives this time, after the prince returns, the good days will definitely come back! How could the prince ask for his daughter and not give him benefits, he is the father of the nation!
Zhang Chensheng straightened his spine when he thought of this, and his face was radiant.
Thinking that the lord of Qingshan wanted to find a concubine room for his youngest son, and the other party privately revealed that he had taken a fancy to Qiying, Zhang Chensheng was moved, and this time he wanted to talk to Master Guan about the gift money.
The Zhang family has already made a living by selling concubines, but it is not good to say, it is better to let Qiying marry into the housekeeper known as the richest man in Shengdu, and give 100,000 taels of gift money alone.
100,000 taels? If he has 100,000 taels, he no longer has to look at the faces of the women in his family, he can ask Zhao Yuyan for forgiveness, he can spend money to keep his current official position, and he can give him another layer of bargaining chips in his failed life.
Zhang Chensheng was moved, instead of waiting for Ji's slim promise, it was better to marry Zhang Qiying to the housekeeper as a concubine, it was originally a concubine to survive, and it was not possible to hope that she would survive!
What's more, he already has a daughter in the palace, and the people in the court will give him some face, he doesn't need to bet his chips on Qi Ying anymore, Qi Ying still makes sense for him to marry into a housekeeper honestly!
In fact, the son of the old man takes a fancy to Zhang Qiyue, who danced at the literary meeting, but what kind of people are people, even if they are rich, they can't afford to offend the existence!
There is no way, the old man retreats to the second, and is ready to find a good Zhang Qiying for his son who is also from the Zhang family, today is the day to talk about gifts, and when the negotiation is completed, find an auspicious day, he will send a sedan chair to pick up people from the back door.
Zhang Qiying has been crying at home all morning, and she has not stopped since her father went out: "I don't want to be a concubine for the housekeeper, I don't want it, mother...... Mother...... You don't mean...... You don't mean ......"
Ji Shi hung her head and didn't dare to look at her daughter's face, she looked for Ruoran, and the other party agreed, but now she can't be the master, she is still trapped in the mountain!
Besides, Ji thinks that the housekeeper is also very good, she has seen the housekeeper's son, he is a good person, he has silver in the family, he is generous, and he will marry in the future, and he doesn't have to suffer his daughter, what a good marriage.
Ji, who was overwhelmed by life, had no wind and snow, so he just wanted to quickly exchange his daughter for some money, so that she could eat meat and renew the tuition fees for her two sons.
Zhang Qiyang and Zhang Qimu didn't say anything, what could they say, they were all counting on their sister's gift money to continue the course, and the current situation at home was not enough to worry about! There's nothing wrong with marrying out, although you can't manage your house, and you won't starve to death in general.
Zhang Qiying looked at her mother and then looked at her brother, and when she saw that they were silent, she suddenly hated them very much in her heart, and even said:
"You are too much, Zhao Yuyan will not marry me to a merchant as a wife, you want to marry me to a merchant as a concubine! What kind of heart do you have! β
Ji Shi suddenly made a fuss when she heard this, she couldn't tolerate it the most, and some people compared her with Zhao Yuyan: "Zhao Yuyan is good, you can find Zhao Yuyan!" She won't let you be a concubine, she's high-spirited! You have what it takes to be reborn in her belly! After saying that, he turned around angrily and left!
When Zhang Qiyang heard this, he glanced at his sister unhappily and said, "You are too much." After saying that, he chased after him.
Zhang Qimu looked at his crying sad sister in embarrassment, and wanted to go up to comfort him, but he didn't know what to say: "Yes...... It's our bad ......."
Zhang Qiying cried even more sadly, she said something wrong! Is she wrong! Although Zhao Yuyan doesn't like to pay attention to her! But it's not enough to give her away as a concubine, just to exchange for silver and food, what has become of her! What does my mother think of her!
Zhang Qiying regretted it, regretted that she didn't listen to her mother's words to marry Xuanyuan, regretted that she didn't please her mother when she was at home, and now she can't find her protection!
"Sister ......"
Zhang Qiying ignored him, brother?! Hum! She can see through it, if she can eat it, even a brother can't wait to eat her!
I heard that Aunt Su's little sister was favored by Mrs. Zhao, and she also told her little sister that she was a good family, and the dowry was still from Mrs. Zhao.
If she pleases her mother now...... If she is obedient in the future...... Will the mother ...... Will......
Zhang Qiyue suddenly made a decision, her mother is unkind, don't blame her for being unjust, she also wants to be a wife, she wants to be upright, she doesn't want to be a concubine, she doesn't want to be looked down upon by others like her mother, and the child she doesn't want to give birth to can't hold her head up like her and her two brothers!
"Sisterβ"
Zhang Qiying waved away his eldest brother's hand, stood up resolutely, and ran out of the city without looking back! She wants to go to Zhao's mansion, just begging, and she also asks for a hope!
