Chapter Twenty-Nine: Matters of the Heart
After the county lord left, Han's mother reprimanded the two reckless little girls: "How do I teach you on weekdays?" What a system to shout so loudly! If you are still like this next time, you will shout about something and be listened to by someone with a heart, how much trouble will it bring to Miss! After reporting the matter to the young lady for a while, come to me to receive the punishment yourself! ”
Zhihua watched Han's mother discipline the two from the side, and did not interfere. After she finished speaking, she spoke: "Okay, now you can say, what is the matter?" ”
Cui'er Pan'er stuck out her tongue in unison, and then stepped forward to report her eavesdropping to Miss. One of the two imitated Shen Ze and the other imitated Bi Tuo, reproducing that conversation. The two little girls are young, and many places are ignorant and can't figure out what they mean, relying on the division of labor and cooperation, each person is responsible for remembering what one person said, so they all memorized it all. When it came to Shen Ze's final confession, he didn't know how to embellish it at all, so he recited it clearly, and by the way, he learned five or six points even the painful tone when Shen Ze said this, wanting to love but not being qualified to love.
Rao is Zhihua is a human being, and at this time, these two little girls were reciting the words of others to show their hearts to themselves, and their faces were flushed, and they were directly choked by saliva and coughed violently.
Mother Han was angry and funny, and hurriedly stepped forward to pat Miss on the back to soothe her discomfort. Turning his head to look at the two stupid girls, he shouted, "Okay, your business is over, now go and copy the thousand-character text as a punishment for what happened just now." When to copy and when to have dinner! ”
After taking a sip of water, Zhihua finally came to her senses, waved her hand at Han's mother and said, "Mom, go down, I want to be alone and quiet." ”
Han's mother also understands her little daughter's thoughts, and she really doesn't want others to be present at this moment, so she bows and retreats.
Today's shocking things came one after another, and Zhihua sat at the head of the bed to silently sort out her thoughts.
First of all, the matter of Minyi.
In the previous life, this year's Queen Mother's birthday banquet had a sensational event, an assassin mixed into the palace with the juggling troupe of the opera troupe to celebrate the birthday, and assassinated during the performance. The emperor was fine, but the queen mother was seriously injured, but in the end she recovered and there was no major problem. Until the year of Zhihua's death, the imperial court did not find out the real culprit, and all the assassins committed suicide after defeat, none of them survived, and there were no clues on their bodies. And this assassination injured a lot of others, but because the Queen Mother was also injured, everyone talked about and cared about her injury, and rarely mentioned the other people who were implicated. In her previous life, Zhihua was too far away from the top social circle in the capital, and she had heard people talk about it but never inquired carefully. One month after the incident, there was a time when two broken mouths came to Zhang's house as guests. In order to show her virtuousness in front of these two ladies who have always liked to betray the rights and wrongs of authentic people, Li Yuxue made an exception and asked her to follow her to entertain guests. At that time, Zhihua was in a daze all day long, standing behind Li Yuxue like a wooden stake, indifferent to anything. What she remembered in an instant was a few words from the two ladies that day. She remembered that a lady said, "Poor eldest princess has lost her beloved daughter in this assassination, and I heard that she is now delirious...... and the other hurriedly stopped her: "Shhhhhhh It's not a glorious thing for the eldest princess to go crazy, so let's talk about it less. After all, it's a matter of heaven, but don't commit the above taboos! "The first emperor grew up safely only with a daughter like Princess Duanhui, so these two ladies are definitely not talking about anyone else! No wonder, no wonder no matter how she thinks about it, she can't remember Minyi's marriage, it turns out that she ...... Thinking of this, Zhihua is still uneasy. She didn't know the situation of the birthday banquet that day, and she didn't know how Minyi was killed, and why the two maids didn't protect their masters, so she could only use the stupidest way to make Minyi pretend to be sick. Although Minyi has promised her now, this robbery has not been done for a day, and Zhihua's heart will not be able to let go for a day.
After taking a deep breath and calming down, Zhihua began to think about another thing.
After changing her fate, she unexpectedly got involved with Shen Ze one after another. She never thought of meddling in the affairs of the Patriotic Mansion, and she did not think that she had the ability to meddle. But the conversation overheard by the two little girls today touched her a lot. In the two lives combined, Zhihua has never been admired by any man. In her previous life, she married Zhang Xiang, but she just followed her mother's wishes. Before marrying into the Zhang family, she had never even seen Zhang Xiangmian in person, and after entering the door, she was deeply jealous of Li Yuxue, and she was wary of everything, and she didn't let her husband have a chance to communicate with her at all. Every time Zhang Xiang was here, Li Yuxue would never let him stay overnight, and would definitely find every excuse to call her husband away in the middle of the night. After going back and forth, Zhang Xiang also understood what his wife meant, anyway, as long as he came to Zhihua, he would not be able to sleep peacefully, and in the end he would not come at all. What kind of feelings do you have between such two people? Zhihua never thought that he knew that someone secretly admired him for this feeling, and he couldn't help secretly rejoicing in his heart, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but go up, recalling the handsome figure of that person, and the girls he had heard with admiration behind their backs, sweet and sour with a faint complacency, such an excellent person, he would actually admire himself in his heart.
Before today, Zhihua didn't feel that she had any special feelings for Shen Ze, but in the face of such a young man who was burdened with a heavy responsibility and admired her but never wanted to affect her, she couldn't help but be deeply moved. Wanting to save his blood relatives, Zhihua was too empathetic, and couldn't help but think about how to help him.
Wei Guogong's wife was born in the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion of the current dynasty, but I don't know how many daughters of Zuo Prime Minister Fei Ning. Zhihua has never heard of Wei Guogong marrying two wives, and Shen Ze is the eldest son of Wei Guogong's mansion, so it stands to reason that the two should be in a mother-son relationship, but I don't know why it has become such a life-and-death situation today. She remembers that when she was young, her mother once told her mother, the housekeeper next to her, how good it would be if she and her father could be as affectionate as Wei Guogong and his wife, and what happened in this way, which would make such a couple turn against each other, and even the wife would be so desperate and hurt her husband? Zhihua didn't know anything about this, and wanted to help Shen Ze but didn't know where to start. frowned and thought about it for a long time, but it was still unreasonable.
The art of war is cloudy, know yourself and know the enemy, in order to survive a hundred battles. Zhihua couldn't think of a way, precisely because she didn't know anything about the situation in the Weiguo Mansion. It's obviously not okay to start here, so what does she know? Her biggest advantage is that she can foresee the big things that will happen in Beijing, if she starts from this point, will she come up with a way to help Shen Ze? Zhihua put aside the matter of the Weiguo Mansion and set his sights on the situation in the imperial court. The major event that will happen recently, only the assassination of the Queen Mother, connects the two events, and an idea gradually takes shape in her mind.
When night fell, when Han's mother walked into the inner room to turn on the lamp, Zhihua was still sitting at the head of the bed, motionless.
"Miss?" Han's mother was a little worried, and stepped forward and snorted softly.
Zhihua came back to her senses: "Ah, it's dark." She had been thinking about how to improve the plan just now, but no matter how she planned it, this plan still carried a certain amount of risk, and Zhihua didn't know whether to mention it to Shen Ze. Tiredly pressed his eyebrows, and instructed Han's mother: "Set the meal, I'm hungry." ”
