Chapter Twenty-Six: Wind and Rain
Everyone looked at Aunt Zhao's mother and daughter, with different expressions, either sympathetic and pitiful, or happy and sad.
Aunt Tong, who has never dealt with Aunt Zhao, also stepped forward to care about her for a few words, and her thoughts were self-evident.
Aunt Zhao smiled back, straightened her back, and stepped step by step into Songhetang in the ridicule and ridicule of others.
The faintly bright sky was layered by dark clouds, like a dark night.
Shen Qinrou held Aunt Zhao with both hands, stood under the eaves of Songhe Hall and looked up at the sky, and muttered, "I'm afraid, heavy rain is coming." ”
Liu Lu, who was next to her, heard it, and also looked up at the cloudy sky, and said worriedly, "I have to go back soon." ”
Shen Qinrou nodded, her eyes swept coldly over the people gathered around the courtyard, and she snorted and smiled.
In the past, when Aunt Zhao was in charge of the house, those people rushed forward one after another, and they wanted to squeeze in front of Miss Zhao with their sharpened heads, sighing that now they all regard Aunt Zhao as a poisonous snake and beast, and everyone can't wait to avoid it.
Some people who had received Aunt Zhao's favor touched her gaze, and their hearts were uneasy, and they lowered their heads urgently, not daring to look at her.
Aunt Zhao sighed deeply and closed her eyes abruptly, "Let's go." ”
There is nothing more in the world than the warmth and coldness of human feelings.
Flowers are easy to brilliant, and it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow.
Along the way, stumbling, when she was about to reach the yard, Aunt Zhao's knee was so painful that she couldn't go anymore, Bi'e carried the person to her own back and carried it back to the yard directly.
Fortunately, the injury on Aunt Zhao's knee was not in the way, so she applied some blood invigorating and stasis medicine, drank a bowl of bird's nest porridge and fell asleep.
The people on Mrs. Shen's side were very fast, and after prying out the list of people who gambled with her from Cuihuan's mouth, they directly arrested people.
It was Mother Zhu who came to Blowing Snow Courtyard to arrest people, her attitude was as polite as before, and she did not change because of Aunt Zhao's loss of power.
I heard that Aunt Zhao was asleep, so she didn't alarm Aunt Zhao, and directly asked her mother-in-law to tie people up, and asked Bi'e to tell Aunt Zhao when she woke up.
Compared with other yards where chickens and dogs jump to catch people, Zhu's mother can be regarded as having enough face in the snow yard.
This toss is early in the morning.
Outside the window, the black clouds were approaching, big and heavy, as if they could drip water at any moment.
Shen Qinrou was full of worries, facing a table of exquisite and delicious breakfast, unable to whet her appetite. So he called the magpies who were guarding outside to come in, and let them share the food together.
Xi'er excitedly held a piece of hibiscus cake, and her hand was still gesturing there.
"That's miserable, I heard that the mother-in-law who executed her was afraid that she would let Li's mother die if she didn't beat her with less than 100 rods, and the first 80 canes fell gently, and it was only after the 20 canes that she broke Li's mother's breath with a ruthless hand." Her cheeks were puffed out, her eyes widened, and her face turned red after a while.
Que'er was speechless and poured a glass of water and handed it to her.
Xi'er took it, drank it with a bang, and let out a long sigh.
"I almost choked to death." She sighed.
Que'er gave her a crutch and glared, "You deserve it, who told you to talk while eating." ”
Mother Li is dead, maybe she usually does too much evil, except for Mrs. Zhao, who was arrested, no one has cried for her, Mrs. Zhao is crying or crying for the silver she has not yet counted, if Mrs. Zhao knows what she will face later, she is afraid that she will not be able to cry.
A few little maids in the courtyard covered their faintly painful wounds, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, in the future, Mother Li will no longer be able to beat and scold them at every turn, and if Mother Li does not die, I am afraid that they will be killed.
A scourge died, and the whole courtyard was peaceful.
Liu Lu thought that Xi'er and Que'er were too noisy, and she was afraid that they would disturb Shen Qinrou's thoughts, so she asked them to take the pastries out to eat, sent people away, and turned back to Shen Qinrou, who was leaning on the bed, and said, "Third Miss, let's ask Mr. Su for half a day off today." ”
"No need."
Before Shen Qinrou could finish speaking, she was interrupted by the sound of a long bell.
"What's going on?" Her heart pounded.
The bell rang three times and then stopped, leaving only the sound to linger.
"It can't be the bell ringing on Fengqi Tower, right?" She asked, breathing a little short.
"No, it won't." Liu Lu covered her mouth in surprise, "If the saint dies, or the queen dies, the number of times the bell is ringed is wrong." ”
She was born in a farming family, and knew a little more than ordinary maids.
The bell on the Fengqi floor will only ring when the saint dies or the queen dies or the queen mother dies.
In the imperial city, except for the bronze ancient bell on the Fengqi Tower, who can and dare to ring through the imperial city.
In Kyoto, many people were so frightened by the ringing of these three bells that many people went out to the streets and began to go in and out of various prefectures to inquire for news.
Before they could panic for long, a mother-in-law erected a ladder to replace the red lanterns on the eaves.
Liu Lu handed over a penny of silver and went out, and the mother-in-law who came to blow the snow courtyard to change the lantern smiled and squinted her eyes and said the matter.
"The Shilang Mansion handed over the news, saying that the Northern Barbarians had invaded our border city in the south, and the two generals of Han Zhen and Han Yuan were unfortunately ambushed, and their bodies had been transported back to Kyoto, and now the saint is the watch."
What the mother-in-law said was just according to the script, and Shen Qinrou only heard that the two generals Han Zhen and Han Yuan were unfortunately ambushed, and she was not interested in listening to it anymore.
What is the use of working hard in life and being beautiful after death?
She silently went back to the room, set up an incense altar, asked Liu Lu to take three pillars of incense over, bowed down in the direction of the north, and inserted the incense into the incense altar.
"Poor Han family is full of loyalty, now the Han family is only left with the old general Han and two grandchildren, the old general Han is close to the sixtieth year, but he is in great pain, and I don't know if his old man can survive this hurdle."
The Han family guarded the northern border of Great Xia for more than 100 years, saving Great Xia from military disasters and defending the peace of the country, which derived the prosperity of Great Xia for more than 100 years.
It can be said that the border of the Northland is made of the blood and arrogance of the Han family, and the soul of the Zheng Army is all imprinted on the wall of the Northland.
Respectable, lamentable!
Now, she can only say a pity.
Lightning flashed and thundered, and with a bang, the torrential rain poured down.
Liu Lu hurriedly went to close the window.
The rush of wind and rain soaked half of her clothes.
The wind-blown window clanged, and Liu Lu took a breath and turned back to Shen Qinrou and said, "Third Miss, I'm afraid I won't be able to go to class today." ”
Shen Qinrou nodded and asked Liu Lu to go down and change his clothes.
It was dark outside, and candles were lit in the house.
Shen Qinrou looked at the dark south wall opposite through the window and sighed faintly.
Soon, a mother-in-law in a lily robe came to report against the wind and rain.
The whole city is under martial law, and within one month, it is forbidden to have a qiē feast and marriage.
In the thunderstorm, a young man in black clothes stood with a sword in his hand and pointed angrily at the sky.
"What loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, what loyalty and patriotism, it's all bullshit." He cried and laughed desolately, and his voice was like crying blood, "Heavens, you say! Is there anything wrong with my Han family, you say!"
The two young men stood beside him in the rain, and a young man in green clothes said to the other young man in white: "Seventh brother, you can't let him go on like this, if others hear it, I am afraid that it will cause a big disaster for the Han family." ”
The young man in white shook his head, "Let him go, it's better for him to vent than to be stuffy." ”
The young man in Tsing Yi sighed, "Okay, I'll listen to Brother Seven." ”
"I, Han, will swear here, and for the rest of my life, I will seek justice for my Han family."
A bloody arrow erupted from General Han's mouth.
"Han Jiang" was in the shouts of the young man in white.
Han will fall straight up.
