44.Chapter 44
After finishing dinner in the evening, An Jin received Xiao Ye's reply about Xueyu.
The one who came to pass the word was the chief of the chamberlain who had met in the morning, and An Geun announced that he went to the small study to reply, so he personally held the box containing the snow jade bracelet, ordered the others to stay, and followed An Geun to the small study.
An Jin opened the door of the small study and asked Cai Qing to take someone to the corridor outside the door to guard, before signaling the waiter to reply. The chamberlain presented the box with both hands, Biluo took it, and then he bowed to An Jin and said: "Miss Qiqi, this bracelet has been ordered to be tested, snow jade is the treasure of the snow mountain, and there is no problem in itself, on the contrary, people with a hot constitution can adjust their physique and remove impurities in their bodies. However, the world does not know that the snow jade is cold, the young lady has fallen into the water several times, and the body and soul were severely injured when she was young, but she cannot wear it, otherwise it will cause cold poison, which will be unfavorable to the children and grandchildren, and will affect the longevity of the child. The prince also said that he had already made it clear to the concubine Niangniang, and he would send Doctor Fu to the Qingyou Palace tomorrow to Miss, and asked Miss to drink the conditioning prescription every day, if Miss is not at ease, she can also take the medicine to a trustworthy doctor for testing. ”
An Jin Huanmu kept his face, but Biluo next to him had already turned pale several times.
"Well, thank you." An Jin retracted her dull face and said lightly. Let Biluo reward him with a first-class reward envelope, and casually picked up a wooden bookmark he drew in the afternoon from the desk, let Biluo pack the box, handed it to the waiter, and said, "Give it to your son, it will be regarded as a thank you gift." ”
After the waiter left, An Geun threw the snow jade and the box to Biluo and asked her to put it away, which is indeed a good thing, in case someone will use it in the future.
Biluo stepped forward to pick up Xueyu, with a hateful expression on her face, and whispered, "Miss, did you say that the queen did it on purpose?" She, she wouldn't know Miss's physical condition so coincidentally, would she? ”
An Jin touched the snow jade bracelet and said with a smile: "Haven't you heard? Snow jade is the treasure of the snow mountain, and giving it to me is a big bargain. Not to mention people with a hot physique, even ordinary people are also very beneficial, maybe everyone knows that Princess Zhaoyang wears it every day. ”
Biluo was cautious, and he also heard the outside words, so he stopped saying anything, only carefully packed the bracelet into a box, and when he was about to put it into storage, he hesitated a little and said: "Fortunately, His Royal Highness the Prince of the World has someone who knows this, and His Royal Highness the Prince of the World does have a great favor to the young lady." It's just that even so, the young lady shouldn't just give him the things he painted with his own hands, and wait for the future... It's always inappropriate. ”
An Geun laughed and said, "I didn't sign it, I just scribbled on my hands, this kind of thing, you don't see me everywhere." In a blink of an eye, Biluo was still dissatisfied, and shook his head with a smile, "And you also said that he helped me a lot this time, you see that the things I have here are all jewelry given by others, how can he be willing to look at it, and it is also a sincerity to draw a little casually." ”
Biluo reluctantly gave up, An Jin looked at her back and smiled bitterly, in this palace, virtual and real, real and virtual, this kind of small thing to give away is not a table, people want to harm you, how to do it if you don't give you a big dish.
It's just this bracelet, but An Jin doesn't believe that the queen really doesn't know anything about her physical condition, but why did she harm herself, at least on the surface, she can't see that she has any hindrance to her, how can people at this level use this kind of treasure against a little person like herself? Is there any reason I haven't guessed it? Looks like he's getting more careful.
Except for the previous few days, when he was busy meeting customers and receiving various gifts, Anjin lived a leisurely and comfortable life in the following days. She also met the other two unmarried princesses in the palace, the twelve-year-old seventh princess Yueyang and the ten-year-old ninth princess Qinyang.
His Majesty the Emperor would come to visit the concubine once a week and dine with her, during which time both An Geun and Ruan An Ji met him twice. seems to be a kind and kind uncle, and he treats An Geun and Ruan An Zheng very kindly.
An Jin also began to study the practice method that Zhao Chengyi sent to him, internal strength meditation and qi practice, a few words, I don't understand this very well; Basic exercises, running, weight-bearing running, this is no problem; Running piles to practice, this is a bit difficult, you have to report to the concubine Niangniang to drive all kinds of piles in the yard for no reason; The top gong is just bouncing, just practice secretly indoors, and it's no problem.
In this way, An Jin began to run for half an hour every morning and evening, plus a half-hour of bouncing practice before going to bed, because she often ran in the yard at home under the pretext that she was not in good health and wanted to run more, so she explained to the concubine through Cai Qing's mouth, and the concubine was noncommittal, and it was all up to her to toss by herself.
An Jin took Zhao Chengyi's basic exercises and practiced them every day, but Zhao Chengyi was not having a good time at this time.
Zhao Chengyi's mother, the second lady Zhuang, heard that her son did not want to go to the Royal Academy, but wanted to go to the Jinhua Academy, which specializes in idle clouds and wild cranes, and immediately lost her temper at her son, and when she heard that it was Grandpa Guo who agreed, she cried and knelt in front of the old lady, begging Mrs. Zhao, who was also a mother-in-law and aunt, to go to Grandpa Guo to talk about it.
The old lady was not angry, and said: "This is what your son begged for, it is useless to find me, to find Grandpa Guo, if you can make your son change his mind, it will naturally be as you wish." But the old lady felt that this little grandson had a big idea, so she had to learn to let the important people around her approve and accept his idea.
Zhuang Shifu went to press his son again, but he couldn't suppress it, so he knew the benefits and harms, and moved it with reason, and the son listened expressionlessly, without saying a word, and turned around and continued to prepare for the things to go to the academy. The Zhuang family went to find his father-in-law, but the second master Zhuang had already been called by the grandfather of the country to talk, and it would not be wrong to only ask his wife to listen to the grandfather of the country.
The Zhuang family secretly hated in her heart, how could she not know the Zhao family, the Zhao family only looked at the eldest son and eldest grandson, and the more mediocre and inactive the son and grandson in the back, the better, and went to a place like Jinhua Academy, but it was not as the wish of the grandfather of the country, but this was her only son, and she couldn't let her be abolished.
So he used various means to force Zhao Chengyi every day. After such a toss, Zhao Chengyi did not change anything other than becoming more and more silent, but she herself was emaciated and haggard first.
"Yi'er, you are so ruthless, do you have to force me to die?" Zhuang sat on the guest chair in Zhao Chengyi's study and asked Zhao Chengyi, who was practicing calligraphy. Zhao Chengyi already lives in the outer courtyard, and now in order to avoid her, he practices in the outer courtyard early in the morning every day, and then comes to greet her with a sweat, she doesn't want to keep him, so he has to let him go back to his yard to clean up, but Zhao Chengyi goes back to his yard to read and practice calligraphy immediately after he goes back to his yard, and never gives her free time.
Zhuang summoned Zhao Chengyi, and after many times, Zhao Chengyi avoided under the pretext of reading, and Zhuang went directly to Zhao Chengyi's study to find him today.
Zhao Chengyi listened to Zhuang's words, his hand tightened, and a drop of ink dripped onto the rice paper, thick and heavy, looking piercing. He put down his pen and ink, stood up, and looked back at Zhuang's, who was wearing a wide-sleeved stone blue dark flower moire shirt, and only a simple sandalwood carved hairpin on his head, his usual delicate makeup was gone, his face was gloomy, his eyes were red and swollen, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were faintly visible.
But seeing such a Zhuang family, Zhao Chengyi found that his heart was only stinging and resentful, but he couldn't soften his heart, and even had a trace of happiness. He is even more haggard than this, and he even has to kneel in front of him, and he has seen the Zhuang family stabbing himself with a hairpin, just to force himself to comply, what is it now?
"Mother, my son is just going to study at Jinhua Academy, why is he forcing you to die? Are you trying to force your son to die to apologize? Zhao Chengyi suddenly asked.
Her son, how did her son become like this? If the eldest son is still alive, where do you need to worry about such a heart!
Thinking of this, Zhuang couldn't help crying and said: "Death, death, death, you say in front of your mother that your mother forced you to die, but you are worthy of your eldest brother." If your eldest brother is still here, why do I need to beg you like this! ”
Zhao Chengyi's hands were clenched into fists, his nails embedded in his palms, and a tingling pain was not as good as the pain in his heart. Here it is again, in his previous life, he was charged with killing his eldest brother for a lifetime, and his mother used this trick to force him to try everything, but in this life he never wanted to bear this charge again, so as soon as he was reborn, he tracked down all the things in the family, because many things are not too far away, so it is much easier to find out than in the previous life.
"I don't have anything to be sorry for my eldest brother, I brought him the plate of dim sum that my eldest brother ate, but it was Aunt Wu who poisoned the dim sum, why did Aunt Wu poison my eldest brother, doesn't my mother know?" Zhao Chengyi turned his gaze, his eyes were facing the window lattice, and his voice was cold with a hint of chill.
Zhuang's face changed instantly, his eyes looked at his eleven-year-old son in disbelief, and said sharply: "You, you, what nonsense are you talking about?" Whoever is damn chewing the root of your tongue in your ear should be dragged out and beaten to death! ”
"No, no one is saying anything in my ear." Zhao Chengyi turned his head and looked straight into Zhao's frightened eyes, "Mother, do you remember Aunt Wu's grandmother?" She's in my hands now. There is also how the seventh brother died back then, how Aunt Chen was crazy, and even, what happened to the second young master of Anwangfu's Tongfang family, I have a lot of evidence in my hands. ”
Zhuang's face turned pale, his whole body trembled, and he looked at his youngest son like a demon. Zhao Chengyi's heart was as painful as a twist, but it was as cold and hard as ice. He will not be soft-hearted, because as long as he is soft-hearted and compromised, he will become a puppet in her hands, and he will be pressed in the dark all his life to struggle, and finally drowned, and she will inevitably be even more helpless in the end. If you control that line yourself, it's better for yourself and for her.
He didn't want to see her frightened appearance anymore, so he pushed the door out of the study, ordered the Zhuang family's eldest girl to serve in the inner room, and left without looking back.
After that, until Zhao Chengyi left, Zhuang never saw him again, and it is said that he was seriously ill and bedridden, but refused to see Zhao Chengyi. On the day Zhao Chengyi left home, he only knocked his head outside her room door three times, and went directly to Jinhua Academy.
And after less than a month in the palace, An Jin received a banquet post, which was the eleventh birthday banquet of the ninth princess Qinyang, and the banquet venue was in Rongxiu Palace, where Qinyang's biological mother Wen Zhaoyi lived.
There is no good banquet, all kinds of conspiracies and frame-ups happen in the banquet, since An Jin found out that all the people in this palace are twisted and twisted, and the purpose is unpredictable, he began to be extremely cautious and cautious about every step.
