In the pavilion, a pot of fragrant tea, hot and dense, like fog and yarn.

Sister Yao sat on the bench in a daze, Mu was stunned, Hongchen sighed, stuffed the stove in her hand into her arms, and beckoned the maid to come over and put a big coat on her.

“…… I see it. ”

Sister Yao shuddered.

Collecting Zhou Jing's body that day, her head was hot, and she followed, so she was so frightened that she didn't know how to get out of the gate of Qiao's house.

"She loves beauty the most, and once because I wore red more than her, she was so angry that she cut off a good new dress."

Sister Yao bit her lip and said hoarsely.

But that day, the Zhou Jing she saw was so terrifying, blue and black, with a distorted face, full of bruises, and a purple and black tongue. She woke up several times at night, and every time she saw a terrifying monster with a blue face and fangs, and her mother was exhausted.

"Sister Qiu, did you say yes, did you ......?"

Sister Yao sighed and muttered, "We went too far and said too ugly, so she couldn't think about it for a while and looked for a short time." ”

Hongchen shook his head, hesitated slightly, and finally comforted: "I don't know Zhou Jing, but I know Sister Yao, although you are a daughter, you seem to be a sincere gentleman, your words and deeds come from your heart, and there is nothing wrong with it." ”

Sister Yao'er blushed: "...... My sisters boast and sell themselves, and they are not too ashamed. ”

Having said that, she was finally in a better mood.

Since Brother Jun set another fiancée, Sister Yao has been very happy, and it is the sisters of the same classmate who said it. It is also said that it is a match made in heaven, a good marriage, as for Zhou Jing, who is willing to pay attention to it?

A woman who doesn't know three obedience and four virtues, doesn't understand etiquette, righteousness and shame, takes charge of a man before she is married, and is obviously jealous, who will say a good word, not to mention that she is really bad, and the girls who were miserable by her all applauded.

A few even ridiculed her in person. said that if they were so embarrassed. It's better to die a hundred.

Before she thought about it, she was really dead.

Brother Jun was studying in the academy, and when the news was sent, he was stunned. Wail. I almost passed out crying.

The Qiao family was terrified. refuses to bother him with Miss Biao's news, and even the burial is in a hurry, and the father and mother who don't care about other people's biological children rush over and only see their daughter's grave. What kind of mood it would be.

Sister Yao followed Qiao's family to visit, and Qiao's family felt that it was better to bury them early. An unfilial girl, who makes herself look like such a ghost, really let her father and mother see it, and it is not in vain that she makes people sad.

To put it bluntly, the Qiao family still doesn't care much about the Zhou family.

Now the Zhou family wants to hold the Qiao family, their master is a teacher from Shenxian County, and he is trying to move out of the poor place where birds don't to be an official, and he can only wait for the Qiao family to contribute to him, at this time, he doesn't dare to make trouble no matter how distressed he is, after all, his daughter has died, but the living still have to live, and they must live well.

The Zhou family is not just a daughter of Zhou Jing.

Although Zhou Jing's mother-in-law, there is only such one!

Hongchen suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, any normal woman, I'm afraid she wouldn't be comfortable, just said Sister Yao, she probably didn't know that she was so uncomfortable, was there a little reason why a familiar girl died quietly.

"Miss, it's time to drink soothing tea."

The little maid held the teacup and carefully served it to Hongchen and Sister Yao.

Originally, only Sister Yao drank it, but Qiao Shi thought of the other daughters in the family, and was afraid that she would be frightened, so everyone simply drank it.

After drinking tea, Hongchen got up to send Sister Yao back, and when she went out of the yard, she happened to meet Qiao's sister-in-law and Jun Ge'er coming out.

Bumping together, Sister Yao went over to see the ceremony, Qiao's sister-in-law smiled at Sister Yao reluctantly, but she turned a blind eye to Hongchen, as for Brother Jun, she kept a cold face, and her eyes were scraping on Sister Yao and Hongchen's faces like a knife.

Sister Yao was startled, speechless, took a step back, Hongchen stretched out her hand to support her, and did not avoid it, staring back coldly, as if smiling, with a hint of ridicule.

Brother Jun didn't know why, he was creepy, and he felt that the little thing he was hiding in his heart was all seen through by this woman, so he lowered his head lightly and left with his mother honestly.

Sister Yao couldn't come back to her senses for a long time, and her eyes were red: "Brother Jun has lost a lot of weight, he must be angry with me, he, he blames me for not helping......"

Hongchen dragged her arm forward and sneered, "Angry with you? This is not the result of his creation, do you really think that how to behave excessively sad, deep and righteous, there is really no fault at all? Yes, he looks like this, he can't wait to follow Zhou Jing to die, where do others dare to blame him, I think, he is now in the academy, he must be in the limelight, his classmates, and the gentleman of the academy, are sympathetic and pity to him, very cautious. ”

Sister Yao was stunned for a moment and did not speak.

Recently, Hu Shan's chief disciple of the academy was selected, and Brother Jun was selected.

In fact, Brother Jun also has a chance, he is smart and beautiful, his family background is good, and his reading is even better, although he is a little clever and doesn't work hard, but he is good in the academy, but Song Zheng and Kong Weiyang, and several other students are also very good, no one can say whether he can be selected.

Two days ago, Brother Jun fainted from crying because of Zhou Jing's matter, Hu Shanchang happened to be there, so he asked a few words, and sent him home, and sighed in front of his friends, saying that this child values love and righteousness.

Later, his old man chose Brother Jun.

Hongchen also knew about this, and sneered: "I think that Hu Shanchang also reads and becomes a dead Confucian, so he can also read." ”

Of course, the Confucian, who has read a book all his life, is simpler and worthy of forgiveness.

"In the sadness of our cousin, how much sincerity is there, I really can't say, isn't he still going to marry that Miss Tao family? He has already failed his cousin, and he can't live up to Miss Tao anymore, to the point of being a love saint, but if he didn't want to marry someone Zhou Jing, he would honestly keep his distance from others, why bother giving people hope, a girl's reputation is more important than anything else, if it weren't for Zhou Jing, there was only a life-saving straw for Brother Jun, except for him. There is no way to live, so why die? ”

It's rare for Hongchen to say so much.

Sister Yao'er's face turned pale when she heard this, but she felt that it made sense, and couldn't help but sneer: "...... I don't know how to face Brother Jun in the future. ”

Hongchen sent her back to the main room, and didn't say anything more, Sister Yao was in a trance, and she also realized.

Zhou Jing was buried, and the Lu family gradually returned to normal, and the eldest wife was afraid that her daughter would be bored at home and think too much, seeing that the ice and snow melted on this day. The sun is beautiful. I took the girls of the family to Huishan Temple to worship the Buddha.

In fact, I should have gone a long time ago, but Zhou Jing was delayed.

Huishan Temple is on Qifeng Mountain to the east of Fengcheng, the mountain is not high or very low, and the mountain road is very smooth. Many wives of wealthy families brought young ladies to worship the Buddha. At least for a full day. It takes a long time to walk up and down.

After getting out of the car, Qiao Shi asked people to call a few lifu, all carrying the small chairs carried by the two of them. There is also a Lifu who carries a rattan chair behind him, and lets the young ladies and young masters sit behind and carry it away, but this kind of work requires a strong man to do.

Hongchen didn't have much of a problem dealing with such a high mountain, and he could trot all the way up, but he still sat in a sedan chair and was carried to the mountain, blowing the mountain wind all the way, and she remembered that Zhou Jingxun's short-sightedness.

"Why does love make people die? It's weird. ”

She really couldn't figure out this kind of thing, and somehow, she suddenly remembered something she hadn't remembered for a long, long time.

It's been a lifetime apart.

Before she was picked up by Mr. Guigu, she had traveled with a white-robed little general for a while.

She was free and happy for the first time in her life, the two of them escaped the pursuit of vicious dogs together, saw the green plum blossoms growing in the mountain stream, climbed the top of the mountain, watched the sunrise and sunset, that was a gentleman, took care of her very much, and treated her well, especially gentle and considerate, and would not ask her about the topic she didn't want to say, now I think about it, there should have been, hazy feelings, but at that time she didn't understand anything, the little general didn't say anything, not even the name, and then the war came, he entrusted her to Mr. Guigu and left, and went to the battlefield.

No matter how much tenderness and affection there is, no matter how many children and daughters are long, they are nothing in the face of cruel war.

Hongchen has never been loved, and she doesn't understand love, she has never mentioned her white-robed little general to anyone, and even she herself silently forgot him in Yunshan nowhere, but she knows that what Zhou Jing got is definitely not love, and it is too sad to lose her life for that little hypocritical friendship.

With nothing to do, let his thoughts fly wildly, Hongchen suddenly opened his eyes, looked at the east hillside, and suddenly jumped up from the chair and threw himself at Sister Yao'er and rolled down, and the two of them fell down halfway down the hill together.

"Ahh

Hongchen supported Sister Yao and rolled twice to relieve her strength before helping her sit up.

Everyone was ignorant.

Before Hongchen could take a look, he heard a bang, and the chair that Sister Yao was sitting on fell to the ground, and a large stone fell from it.

The seat shattered.

The two Lifu were sweating with fright.

Later, Qiao's feet were also frightened, and Mama Gao supported her hard, so she could barely stand up, staggered over and hugged Sister Yao'er and cried: "My sister, are you injured, where is it injured?" Let me see. ”

Sister Yao was swayed by her, dangling and swaying, unable to speak for a long time, fortunately she was not injured, but she rubbed a small piece on Hongchen's arm, and blood oozed out.

Luo Niang hurriedly took medicine and gave her medicine.

Hongchen didn't feel pain: "It's okay, it's okay." ”

Qiao Shi came back to his senses at this time, and repeatedly beckoned his subordinates to take medicine: "Okay, hurry up and show me, the girl can't be hurt, how can she get it if she is injured and left a scar." ”

After tossing for a long time, everyone was shocked, and Hongchen also said: "Don't worry, Mrs., it doesn't hurt at all, let's go quickly, I see that the mountains are not peaceful." ”

Qiao's was really frightened, she only had this one daughter, and the big guys didn't care about enjoying the scenery, Qiao's let her daughter get into her sedan chair, sat with herself, and hurried away, but Hongchen's eyes were wandering around, looking around, just now she saw a trace of blue-gray shadow on Sister Yao'er's body, so that there was nothing dirty, more like something left on her body.

Speaking of Sister Yao, it is also quite miserable, the last time her maid left a heavy yin qi on her, recently, she is easy to provoke mountain spirits and ghosts, etc., it takes a long time to bask in the sun, I am afraid that the yin qi can be removed.

If Hongchen does it, of course, it can be easily solved, but she also has problems now, because the fierce god Xiangliu at the beginning, she was burdened with a lot of debts, and now she feels a huge pressure, her soul is gray, all the strength is used to resist defense, and her body is empty, especially empty.

Sister Yao'er has this little problem, bask in the sun more, just like now, go to the temple to worship more, it will be fine, there is no need to care too much.

There was such a big thing, Qiao still led the children to worship the Buddha, ate a table of vegetarian food, donated a lot of sesame oil money, and then went down the mountain, on the way down the mountain, Hongchen let the sedan chair follow Qiao and Sister Yao, and encountered two troubles along the way, all of which let her avoid it without a trace, Sister Yao was no longer frightened, but instinctively felt that the mountain road was not easy to walk, there were often falling rocks, and the tree always loved to fall.

When I got home, Hongchen didn't point out, and Qiao took a bath for her daughter with grapefruit leaves, and probably felt that the child was very unlucky.

Hongchen didn't take what happened on the mountain to heart, so Luo Niang and the others smiled: "We have a lot of face in the Lu family than before, and it is a lot more convenient to do things, it must have been ordered by the eldest lady." ”

In the past, it didn't mean that Luo Niang and they would be troubled, but after all, they were outsiders, and they were not very familiar with things at home, so they said that they went to the kitchen to get snacks, other ladies have their own favorite food, maybe there are special cooks, they used to have nothing to take, they still ate on a big stove, and many other small details, which always made people feel that they were outsiders, but now they are becoming less and less like this.

To put it bluntly, it's just an order from the eldest lady when she eats, let me get some light, suitable for the taste of Hongchen, a word of things, people watch people put down dishes, knowing that this young lady is favored, naturally they don't dare to treat slowly, and even take care of the personal maid around the young lady.

Hongchen smiled: "You guys are really addicted to being maids." ”

Just as he was laughing, there was a knock on the door outside.

At this time, it was the middle of the night, Luo Niang was stunned before going over to ask, and came back after a while, and said in surprise: "It's Sister Yao." ”

"Coming here so late?"

Hongchen was puzzled, or hurriedly invited someone to enter the door, put on his clothes to welcome the guests, as soon as he saw Sister Yao, he felt that she was a little absent-minded, and when he saw Hongchen, he came over to hold hands, sat down on the soft step together, and stopped talking.

"What's wrong?"

Touched Sister Yao'er's clothes, they were very thin, and even the maid was thrown outside the door and didn't let her in, Hongchen let Luo Niang serve a cup of hot tea, coaxed her a few words, and Sister Yao hesitated: "Sister Qiu, I think, Sister Tao Xin, she is not Sister Tao Xin, she, she ...... She is Zhou Jing. (To be continued.) )
