Chapter 29: Ten taels were raised
As for what's in the box......
Wen Rao stretched out her hand to lift the lid, and unexpectedly saw the money Changsheng said, Wen Rao opened them and counted them, but it was only six or seven taels.
She thought about it, and still planned to use the money, no matter what, it was better to raise money to release Changsheng first.
Wen Rao may not only have the only way to raise money, no matter what reason Qi Yao is so good to her, she can take advantage of this relationship, but her intuition tells her that it is best not to let Qi Yao know about the person of Changsheng.
When she closed the lid, the edge of the lid was slightly outward, and she pushed it a few times instead of pushing it, but instead pressed the box over, and the thing spilled on the table with a bang.
Wen Rao hurriedly picked up the things and put them away, the white handkerchief under the box was also a little wrinkled, she picked it up and folded it again, seeing the butterfly pattern on it, she felt familiar, and felt that this was not something that a eunuch should have.
She looked at it a few more times, and then it became clear that this square veil was popular when she was sixteen years old, and at that time all the eldest girls and brides used such a style, and Wen Rao was no exception.
A lot of things happened when she was sixteen years old, and before she married Murong Ju, Yuxue Pavilion was still in her hands.
It was only later that she lost her reputation and could not protect herself, so she fell into the hands of the Ning family.
That year's immortality was probably as big as hers. It's just that he should have been outside the palace at that time, how could he enter the palace later? If he was already in the palace, how could he have an entanglement with her, and how could he have her veil?
Wen Rao's fingers slid down and touched a square word "Rao" in the corner of the handkerchief.
She was anxious to lose this veil at that time, because it had her name on the corner, for fear of being picked up by bad people and tarnishing her reputation, and from then on, she did not like to embroider anything related to herself.
Who is Changsheng...... A vague outline gradually formed in her mind, and she was not impressed, but they did know each other, and she had to lead him out and ask him properly.
Junchen Palace, behind the bead curtain, Wen Ru sat in front of the desk, painting a painting under his hand, and the person in the painting was amazing.
Poppy took a few steps closer with her tea, and saw the person in the painting, who was familiar and unfamiliar, and she looked a little distracted.
"This is my sister." Wen Ru said.
Poppy came back to her senses and raised her eyes to look at Wen Ru, "Niangniang......"
"It's not like it, is it? I don't think so, either. Poppy pursed her lips, "But that's what she is." ”
The red makeup of the person in the painting is bright, a touch of red lips like blood, the corners of the eyes are raised, the eyes are charming, and the red cloud veil slides down to the crook of the arm, revealing a section of snow shoulders.
No matter how you look at it, she is a dusty woman, beautiful is beautiful, and it is inevitable to fall into vulgarity.
"Poppy, do you know what I mean?" Wen Ru put down her pen and looked at her.
Poppy shook his head, "Mother, Poppy doesn't know what you're talking about." ”
"That's it." Wen Ru turned around and walked to the table, "Poppy, is my sister's incident related to you this time?" ”
Poppy couldn't figure out what she was thinking, but she subconsciously denied it, "Back to Niangniang's words, the slave maid didn't do anything to the eldest lady." ”
"Really?" Wen Ru's eyes flashed, "She will always be my sister, a sister whose fate intersects, you can't hurt her." ”
"Slaves don't." Poppy knelt behind her when she heard this.
Wen Ru lowered her eyes when she heard the sound of kneeling on the ground, and said, "In the past, when I left the palace, they said that my sister did not commit suicide. ”
"......" poppy was confused.
"She drank a bowl of tea, and there was a drug in the tea, and you ordered it." Wen Ru sighed softly, "The emperor loves her so much now, if he knew that you had done this, I am afraid that you would die without a corpse." ”
"Mother, the slave doesn't understand." Poppy looked at her in disbelief, not understanding whether she was coercing or exposing her.
"You don't understand, even I can't figure it out, what do I want, I want a man's love, but no one loves me." Wen Ru closed her eyes.
"That day, Murong Ju wanted to take me away, and when he walked to the door of the secret passage, he regretted it. At the last moment, he told me that he was going to take Wen Rao with him. Wen Ru said this, and the poppy listened quietly, although there were no waves on his face, but there were turbulent waves in his heart.
How much Murong Ju dislikes Wen Rao, everyone can see.
It's just that he never expected that he would have such a thought.
"I sue him, I will die with Wen Rao when I go back at this time......" Wen Ru paused slightly, "But he said that his heart would rather die with Wen Rao, he said, Wen Rao can only die by his side even if he dies, ha, you don't know, Wen Rao, this woman, will make everyone crazy, Murong Ju He finally found out, because no matter how much he hated her, he never let her disappear from sight, and he found out when he left at that moment. ”
"Mother, don't say it." Poppy shook his head and didn't want to hear it, but he couldn't stop Wen Ru.
"I killed him in the secret passage, dug out his heart, let his heart go with me, and the fire destroyed all traces." Wen Ru suddenly turned around and raised the hem of her skirt to brush the poppy.
"Do you know why I'm talking to you so much?" Wen Rao smiled, her eyes reflecting the pale face of the poppy, "Because dead people don't speak." ”
The white light flashed, and the poppy almost screamed.
"Ahh
But it was another person's voice.
Poppy looked up in a trance, only to see Yingxiu raise her hand and slap her with an angry face.
"Poppy, what are you doing! How can you contradict a mother like this! ”
Poppy looked over and saw that Wen Ru's skirt was wet, with a few tea leaves on it, and a cup poured into the tray in her own hand.
"Slaves don't have hearts." Poppy hurriedly knelt down and confessed his mistake.
Wen Ru's face was pale, and she shook her head slightly, "That's it, Yingxiu, don't embarrass her, she didn't mean it." ”
"Poppy, you're too careless." Yingxiu said angrily.
Wen Ru sighed slightly, "Since you don't object to the poppy, then it's decided." ”
"What ......" Poppy looked dazed.
Yingxiu interrupted her with a smile when she heard this: "Naturally, it's a good thing. ”
Poppy looked at them in disbelief, feeling a bad premonition in his heart.
She knew in her heart that Fang Cai was not her hallucination, it was something that really happened, but the person who was killed was not her, and the person who killed was not Wen Ru, it was Yingxiu.
She hid behind the pillar that day and saw Yiqiē clearly, but she didn't pay attention to it at that time, because she never thought that she would one day become a waste in their hands as well.
The poppy was taken into a courtyard.
"The poppy girl is really a blessing, and she will have to serve her master well in the future." The man said as he pushed open the door and invited Poppy in.
Poppy had no choice but to raise his foot and cross the threshold.
"Father-in-law Cheng, this is the person who has made a new arrangement for you, and he looks like he is tight, this time it should always be to your liking."
Poppy looked up and saw an old eunuch with half-white hair, looking at her with a pair of thin eyes, and a fine light flashed in his eyes.
She seemed to understand something, looked shocked, took a few steps back and turned to leave, but was stopped.
"Poppy girl, from today on, you will be a father-in-law, so it's not likable to be so ignorant." The man smiled sadly, and his words were undoubtedly a heavy blow.
I see...... Wen Ru, the deep love between master and servant in the past can really be an illusion?!
Junchen Palace, Yingxiu was relieved when she arranged things, "Niangniang, I'm afraid she won't come back at all this time." ”
"Did you think I went too far?" Wen Ru had a faint reluctance on her face.
"How come, don't be soft-hearted, you know, without you, the poppy would have died a long time ago, today you just gave her to Cheng's father-in-law, Cheng's father-in-law has accepted your favor, and it will be of great use in the future. Besides, the poppy is voluntary, and in the end, it can be regarded as living up to you. Yingxiu smiled.
Wen Ru didn't answer her words, but there was a look of relief on her face.
On the other hand, Wen Rao was embarrassed by the procurement of Father-in-law Li and handed him the only valuable thing on her body.
"Father-in-law Li, although this hairpin is damaged, can I be accommodating, now I am quite short of money." Wen Rao said.
"No, your hairpin is worthless, it's a jade product, and there are many scratches on it, even if I give it to others for free, I don't want it, don't embarrass me." Gonggong Li refused.
Wen Rao sighed when she heard this, but she was helpless.
"Alas, wait." Gonggong Li suddenly stopped her.
Wen Rao was stunned, and when she saw his eyes fall on the pendant on her waist, she hurriedly covered it up.
"Hey, you're a good thing." Gonggong Li stretched out his finger and pointed at the pair of moon beads.
"Father-in-law Li, I don't sell this." Wen Rao said.
"Well, I won't be strong, don't worry." Gonggong Li said: "It's this thing, can you lend me a look." ”
Wen Rao saw that all his attention seemed to be on the pair of moon beads, and seemed to be really interested, and his reputation was acceptable, so she reluctantly untied the thing and handed it to him.
"This is the best of the shark beads, Wen Rao, where did you get it?" Gonggong Li asked.
"I didn't get it, it's a token of my mother's family." Wen Rao said.
Gonggong Li was slightly surprised when he heard this, swept Wen Rao, and knew how much in his heart, he had also heard of Wen Rao's previous identity, and the background of this was also extremely complicated.
"Father-in-law, since things can't be sold, I'll leave." Wen Rao said.
Grandpa Li handed her the things back, "Okay." ”
He watched Wen Rao leave, and couldn't help but feel a pity that those real treasures couldn't be obtained after all.
A little eunuch quickly ran over to the side and muttered a few words in Gonggong Li's ear, Gonggong Li's expression changed greatly, and he hurriedly called Wen Rao back.
"Alas, Wen Rao, you wait!" Grandpa Li stopped her.
Wen Rao paused and saw him running to her out of breath, and said, "The hairpin is still asking you to sell it to me no matter what." ”
Wen Rao was puzzled, "Didn't you buy it?" ”
"That's Fang Cai, and now I bought it." Seeing Wen Rao's hesitation, Gonggong Li was afraid of dragging mud and water, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Isn't it okay to give you ten taels of silver?" ”
Wen Rao was overjoyed when she heard this, ten taels of silver, this is just right.
