Life is always like this, when you are proud, there may not be the icing on the cake, and when you are disappointed, you often have a lot of trouble.

Second Master Xie's death hit his two parents first, at such an age, the real white-haired person sent the black-haired person.

Mrs. Xie suddenly fell ill, and Luo Jin saw Mrs. Xie guarding Mrs. Xie in front of Mrs. Xie's window from outside the door, and almost couldn't recognize his back. I still remember that when she first entered the mansion, Mrs. Xie sat on the main seat with her waist straight, how energetic, and now the grandfather sitting on the edge of the bed seems to be just an ordinary old man, leaning his back and covering the quilt for his wife with his thin hands.

For the first time, Luo Jin hated herself for crossing into a child, but the person who had the heart to protect was powerless to protect.

Second Master Xie wrote a long will before he died, and it seemed that in order not to cause more trouble to his sister-in-law, everything was arranged in detail, but he expected that he would be buried according to the four-rank official level according to the routine, but he didn't expect that in the end, it would be a gift from a concubine.

In the past, there were five brocade boxes on the rosewood desk that Xie Erye used to use, which were parting things for his five sons and nephews.

gave Xie Yanyuan a book of the art of war, and Second Master Xie knew that only in this kind of book could his nephew be patient and take a few more looks.

A few days before Xie Erye's death, Mrs. Xie said that she intended to marry the Marquis of Anguang, and he found out this Ruyi, as soon as he entered the Hou Gate, it was as deep as the sea, but there was something given by the Queen Mother, which was her help to gain a firm foothold in her mother-in-law's house.

What was given to Xie Mengyao was a gorse hairpin, the second aunt died early, although Mrs. Xie did not shorten her food and clothing, after all, she would not be as attentive as her mother, and the ornaments used were all from outside workshops, she had never been so rare, no wonder Xie Mengyao was extremely sensitive to her own identity, and the situation she was in was much inferior to Xie Mengxi.

gave Xie Mengxi even more generously, and Second Master Xie left his entire library to Xie Mengxi. A while ago, the third aunt was annoyed that Xie Mengxi was lazy in female morality, and threw all Xie Mengxi's Jinglun books into the brazier and burned them into paper ashes.

He has always done things like this, more meticulous and thoughtful than a woman, quietly began to arrange, and when the other party noticed it, he had fallen into warmth.

"Miss, the second master ordered you to ...... Relic. ”

Xiuxi entered the house with the brocade box, Luo Jin turned her back to her, and only after a while turned around and lifted the lid of the brocade box, and there was a box of Luan Yixiang in the box.

"Second uncle, what kind of incense did you light in the house? I don't want to leave when I come. ”

"It turned out that I came here to smell the incense, and I thought you were so filial."

At that time, it was just a joke, he had always remembered it, Luo Jin held the incense box tightly in her arms, her heart was full of pain, but she actually just wanted to find a reason not to leave, no matter how good the spices were, what was the use of the person who ordered them when they were gone?

"Xiuxi, how was the second uncle's funeral?"

"From the coffin to the longevity product, the second master has prepared it for himself, but if you really want to count the etiquette of the people, these can't be used, the second master is still parked in the room, Mrs. Xie doesn't know what to do, the old lady is sick again at this time......"

Luo Jin was so angry that she clenched her little fist in pain, Concubine Li was too bullying, and she used such a means to threaten the Zhenguo Mansion.

"Where's my grandfather?"

"The old lady has been in the old lady's house all the time and has never come out."

"Go to the kitchen and bring me the porridge I want, and we'll go see my grandmother."

Luo Jin had already asked the kitchen to prepare a small casserole of jade stem porridge, at this time, she was most needed to be filial and sensible to make the two old men feel relieved, if even they fell, the Zhenguo Mansion would really have no hope, Luo Jin couldn't help in front of the emperor's order, so he could only do his best.

Luo Jin's filial piety really relieved the second elder a lot, Meng Erniang was giving Xie Lao Taijun acupuncture, there was still not much expression on her indifferent face, Luo Jin felt that she was even more pitiful, she was a niece, she could be unscrupulous and sad, Meng Erniang, as a single woman who had no relationship, couldn't even cry for her beloved.

"The emperor refuses to see you?" Meng Erniang asked Old Lady Xie.

Old Lady Xie shook his head slightly, and his hair turned gray a lot overnight: "The dog is a trivial matter, and it shouldn't have disturbed the saint." ”

"Heavenly Family...... Such a heartless ......"

"Miss Meng! More to say. ”

Luo Jin noticed that Meng Erniang's fingers holding the needle couldn't stop trembling, and she was afraid that she was no less worried about the funeral of Xie Erye's family.

Concubine Li is a full-fledged mountain, even Princess Jiayu can't help, it's easy to get out of trouble, as long as Concubine Li is soft, but if Second Master Xie is alive, he will never agree to the Zhenguo Mansion to become someone else's lackey.

Luo Jin thought in her heart, she was just a concubine, not a queen, although Luo Jin had never entered the palace, Mu Congjin told her a lot of palace things. The queen must be on the same page as Concubine Li, but because of this, the queen will not be willing to participate in it, because although this matter is the mastermind of Concubine Li, judging from the emperor's avoidance of seeing Mrs. Xie, he plans to help his concubine, even if it is the queen, she has to rely on the emperor to eat.

In this harem, there is only the queen mother who is not afraid of the concubine or the emperor.

The easiest thing to see the Queen Mother is Meng Erniang, who is the imperial doctor, Luo Jin tilted her head and asked innocently: "Second Sister Meng, I heard that the Queen Mother is not in good health, is it the same as her grandmother?" ”

"The old lady's body is not as good as the queen mother now." Meng Erniang replied nonchalantly.

"I heard from the six princes that the Empress Dowager's decree is more effective than the Empress Dowager's, isn't Second Sister Meng afraid when she sees the Empress Dowager?"

"Queen Mother...... Dowager! ”

Meng Erniang was panicked, but as soon as Luo Jin mentioned it, she immediately came up with a clear way and hurriedly went to the palace.

Luo Jin looked at the back of Meng Erniang leaving, her small body couldn't do anything, the only thing she could do was this, I hope Meng Erniang can convince the Queen Mother.

The six princes in the palace got up and learned of the death of Second Master Xie, and inquired about the funeral approval, knowing that it was Concubine Li's ghost, and the Zhenguo Mansion was still involved in the battle for the storage position. She must be sad, right? Mu Congjin immediately remembered Luo Jin's watery eyes like a pug in his mind.

"How are the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother?"

"The Queen Mother is asking for peace and security, and the Queen Mother has breakfast as usual, and there is no other situation."

The queen mother doesn't seem to be planning to help the Zhenguo Mansion, Mu Congjin thought about it carefully, but ...... He can't ignore it, the Zhenguo Mansion will be involved in the dispute so quickly, and the reason why he has not had a close relationship with him? What's more, if he doesn't help in this matter, what will he look like to see the starling dog with his tail wagging in the future?

"Let's go, go to the mother's harem."

This time the disaster of the Zhenguo Mansion, every pair of eyes in the court was looking, thinking that the Zhenguo Mansion was an egg hitting the stone this time, but I didn't expect the backstage of the Zhenguo Mansion to be harder than expected.

The queen mother personally issued a decree, Xie Erye has meritorious deeds, and he should be buried thickly, and the queen also gave many rewards in the name of Xie Erye as the "half-master" of the six princes.

Winning back a city overnight, Mrs. Xie finally stretched her brows and prepared for the funeral of Second Master Xie according to the schedule.

When Mu Congjin arrived at the Zhenguo Mansion, Luo Jin was locking himself in the room.

"Six, six princes!"

Han Cui was a little shocked and was about to report immediately, when Mu Congjin waved her hand and signaled her not to make a sound.

As a modern person, Luo Jin has always liked the feeling of bright lights in the house, always lighting a row of oil lamps, tonight she only lit a few candles, she hid alone in the dark between the candles, sitting on the ground with her back against the corner, her head buried in her knees.

Mu Congjin's steps were gentle, for fear of disturbing the low little animal, and sat down next to Luo Jin.

It's late autumn again, the back is close to the wall and the cool temperature, the two of them just sit like that, no one speaks, Mu Congjin's heart seems to be being pinched, stuffy and uncomfortable, touched Luo Jin's little hand, and still didn't get a response.

Mu Congjin held Luo Jin's hand tightly, and his voice was so soft that he was afraid of scaring her: "People can't be resurrected after death, you know?" ”

Luo Jin's head was still low, her half-length broken hair blocked the side of her face, and she made a sobbing sound from time to time, and suddenly her head was tilted, leaning on Mu Congjin's body as if she was not supported, and her face was against Mu Congjin's clothes.

"I'm scared."

The little body couldn't stop trembling, and Mu Congjin couldn't help but wrap his hand behind Luo Jin, touching her stiff back, and constantly smoothing out her breathing.

"Don't be afraid, there's me."

Originally, Luo Jin was just dull in her heart, listening to Mu Congjin's words of relief, she was boosted by her arrogance, and she cried loudly, crying until her throat was dry and painful, Mu Congjin was still by her side, and she didn't dislike how ugly her cry was.

Luo Jin sniffed, buried her head in Mu Congjin's clothes, the silk fabric rubbed Luo Jin itched, raised her head uncomfortably, there were still two water stains on her face, and her big eyes cried out a circle of red.

Mu Congjin jumped twice in his heart.

"I want to go home, to modern times, I want to go back to modern times with hospitals and police."

The fear in Luo Jin's heart at this moment can only be felt by Mu Congjin, who is also a traverser, without modern medical technology, maybe one day he will be sick like Xie Erye, and he can only wait for death, in the era of imperial power, a noble concubine can cover the sky with one hand, if the second prince ascends the throne one day, wouldn't the Zhenguo Mansion be a disaster to wipe out the clan?

Luo Jin has seen it on TV, and there are plots of the Zhu Jiu clan in many TV series, and she has seen a lot of bloody scenes of the execution ground where her head is cut off, but she never wants this kind of thing to happen to her, it hurts, it hurts very much when she looks at it.

"Then don't make him emperor." Mu Congjin grabbed Luo Jin's hand and suddenly increased his strength: "Don't scare yourself, I'm in the same boat with you." ”

Luo Jin looked up at Mu Congjin, no matter how she looked at the little child's face, she didn't feel safe, but her heart was still warm for some reason.

"Mu Congjin, you say, will the second uncle also travel to other places? Just like me? Knowing that it is impossible for everyone to encounter such a small probability of crossing, Luo Jin still deceived himself in his heart, thinking that he would feel much better if he thought about it like this.

"Who knows, no matter what, we've done everything we can for him."

Luo Jin blinked her eyes and stared at the cabinet by the wall intoxicated, on the cabinet was the white jade treasure chest given to her by Xie Erye, and suddenly remembered the day when she met for the first time, he stood at the table and burned incense and wrote, his pale cyan sleeves rubbing the sound of rice paper being finely broken, as if he was reading a poem.

"Your grandmother and aunt must have rewarded you with a lot of treasures, and this is just right for you to collect treasures."

He said so at the time, but the most precious treasure she had received from him was affection, the fact that in a completely strange dream-like world, she could still have a family.

Thinking that his only wish in this life is just to share the joy of family life, Luo Jin quietly made up her mind in her heart, she is willing to inherit this wish, and I only hope that no matter what happens in the world in the future, she can live up to her original intention and live up to this journey in vain.
