Chapter 189: Quiet as Sickness and Dying
After some recuperation, the body is getting better and better, and during this time, the palace is also quiet, and no one is looking for trouble at this time. The quieter it is, the more uneasy it is, after all, the tranquility before the storm is often the most terrifying.
Seeing that the body is already in good condition, but there is still no movement in this palace, but there is a big incident in the Qin Mansion.
Qin Jingruo.
Sick.
Hearing the news from outside the palace, Qin Shujiu was shocked, although Qin Jingruo's body has been getting worse and worse recently, but because of Qin Tianhao's current momentum in the court, Liqing also sent several imperial doctors into the Qin Mansion to treat Qin Jingruo. A few days ago, the body was already safe, and it was okay to raise a good child, but who knew that it was only a few days of hard work to say that it was gone.
Qin Jingruo has been raised by Mrs. Qin's side since she was a child, unlike Qin Shujiu, the second daughter raised in the nunnery, and now that she is gone, the pain of the white-haired person sending the black-haired person is heavy, don't say that Mrs. Qin is already in pain, even Qin Tianhao also turned half of his sideburns white overnight because of this bad news, and he has no intention of paying attention to court affairs.
Qin Tianhao lost his beloved daughter, Qin Shujiu in the palace was anxious, and now that she has gained power in the harem, Liqing also has her in her heart, that is, after hearing the bad news, he actually allowed Qin Shujiu to return home, which is already a relief for the parents who lost a daughter.
If the harem concubines are allowed to visit the palace by their mother's family, it is already a great gift, not to mention that now Qin Shujiu has been rewarded by His Majesty, and he has been out of the palace to save his relatives, and it is the first time that such a reward has been received in the palace. Even if this time the provincial relatives out of the palace were for Qin Jingruo's funeral, it was enough to make the people in the harem understand Qin Shujiu's current status, which was not the past.
The concubine was able to leave the palace, which was a holy reward, even if it was Qin Jingruo's mourning period now, but compared with Qin Shujiu's honorable reward, it was not enough to worry. On the one hand, the Qin Mansion was handling Qin Jingruo's funeral, and on the other hand, it was already busy taking care of the needs of Qin Shujiu's relatives, that is, to do everything properly, so that he could afford the grace of His Majesty.
Saving relatives is a first-class event. Since everything is not sloppy, it is just because the family is frustrated that the death will hurt the concubine, so the concubine has to wait for Qin Jingruo to pass the first seven years before she can leave the palace and return home.
It's been almost six years, and the days in the Qin Mansion are still fresh in my memory. At that time, when she entered the Qin Mansion, she was just a girl who was bought back on the street, but now she is more expensive than a first-class court concubine, which is also like a dream. The sedan chair fell in front of the Qin Mansion, and he got off the sedan chair with the support of Nanzhi. My Lady Niangniang is a relative today, and the Qin Mansion knows it from top to bottom. It was waiting outside the Qin Mansion early in the morning, and when it was after watching the concubine fall off the sedan chair, the people in the Qin Mansion knelt down directly to welcome the arrival of the mother.
Even Qin Tianhao, who is the father of Qin Shujiu, has to bow and bow when he sees Qin Shujiu, Qin Tianhao is also Qin Shujiu's father no matter what, and he is called to make such a big gift, Qin Shujiu also bowed to worship and then got up and supported Qin Tianhao. Looking at Qin Tianhao, Qin Shujiu said, "Father has been bitter recently. Seeing Qin Tianhao reply, the words fell.
"When the family changes, thanks to His Majesty's grace, he allowed his mother to go out of the palace and save his relatives. Thank you. He was about to say goodbye, but he asked Qin Shujiu to help him in a hurry and then said: "Father, don't be like this, Your Majesty also deeply regrets when he hears about the things at home, because he knows that his father has always cherished the eldest sister, and the eldest sister is now sick and his heart is also very sad, so he allowed the palace to go home, and also took this opportunity to accompany his father and mother." ”
She was also born and raised by her parents, and it is also appropriate to accompany her parents to do her filial piety under such bad news now, and immediately heard Qin Tianhao's words of gratitude, and only after being relieved did she see Qin Tianhao inviting Qin Shujiu into the house. lest she be told to stand outside the house for too long.
After following Qin Tianhao into the mansion, the first thing he saw was Wang Han who was waiting in the middle, since he became the head of the Qin Mansion, Wang Han was deeply trusted by Qin Tianhao. Now that he has seen Qin Shujiu's relatives like this, Wang Han should welcome him here. Qin Shujiu can have this status now, and the most thankful thing is the Wang Grand Manager in front of him, that is, seeing him nodding slightly, Qin Shujiu opened his mouth with a sad face.
"Father, why didn't you see Mother?"
Everyone in the Qin Mansion waited at the door to greet her. I didn't see Mrs. Qin's figure, and I also saw Qin Shujiu asking like this, Qin Tianhao immediately replied: "Your eldest sister has just passed the first seven, and your mother is very injured in her heart, but she is sick, and now she is resting in the room, so she can't go outside to greet you." ”
After all, Qin Jingruo is Mrs. Qin's own flesh and blood, even if Qin Shujiu's relatives are a first-class event, but no matter how big the matter is, it can't compare to the pain of losing her daughter, and it is common for Mrs. Qin to lie on the bed due to illness now. When it was Xinming, he ordered Nanzhi to hand over the best medicinal materials that Liqing had rewarded to the steward of the house, and then said.
"The eldest sister passed away, the mother was grieving, and the daughter was also nervous in her heart, but the palace rules were strict, but she couldn't even see the last side of the eldest sister, and she really thought about it in her heart." When he said this, it was also because of the affection between the sisters, Qin Shujiu couldn't help but weep, and after wiping the drooping tears with a silk, Qin Shujiu said again: "My daughter has been in the palace for a long time, but she can't even serve her parents, so she can only ask Her Majesty to reward these medicinal materials, hoping that her mother's health will improve, and it can be regarded as fulfilling her daughter's filial piety." ”
The medicines brought out from the palace are all good, and just looking at these, you can know that Qin Shujiu has filial piety. Qin Shujiu is now a very concubine, and this body is definitely not hurt, and seeing that Qin Shujiu is crying because of Qin Jingruo's matter, Qin Tianhao said.
"You can have this filial piety, my father is already happy in his heart, but now that you are a concubine, you have to take care of your body. Your eldest sister's life is thin and she can't survive this time, and now your father and mother are the only ones left. ”
Such a remark also has several meanings, and at the moment, Qin Shujiu's heart is clear, and he is the first to respond. came out of the Taiming Palace to the Qin Mansion, during which she also traveled a lot, and according to Qin Shujiu's current body, she was also afraid that she would be tired of bumps on the road, Qin Tianhao immediately ordered the maid in the mansion to wait for Qin Shujiu to return to the room and rest.
Niangniang Province returned to the house, and the guards in this mansion were tight, that is, all the people around the boudoir were not allowed to enter, except for Qin Tianhao, only Wang Han, the chief administrator of the Qin Mansion, could enter and serve.
Mrs. Qin is still sick now, and Qin Tianhao can't wait by Qin Shujiu's side all the time, so he ordered Wang Han to serve the concubine carefully, and then went back to the room and went to see the lady on the sickbed. When the second lady returned to the house, Mr. Wang was dedicated, and the second lady's favorite thing was stewed on the stove early, and the things on the stove were also good when Qin Shujiu returned to the house for a while. Carefully put the stewed thing properly, and then sent it to Qin Shu's wine room by Wang Han.
The food was sent into the room, and it was first checked by the outside and the waiter, and then Wang Han was sent into the house respectfully. When Wang Han sent the stew to Qin Shujiu, Qin Shujiu was sitting on a chair with his eyes closed, while Nan Zhi waited aside, lightly beating Qin Shujiu's back. Serving the stew in front of him, Wang Han said respectfully.
"Second Miss. Oh no, Niangniang, this is your favorite stew, Shangshu ordered me to stew for you early in the morning, and now it's time for the fire, Niangniang wants to try it? It was also after hearing Wang Han's words, Qin Shujiu opened his eyes, and then looked at Wang Han and said: "It's hard for Wang Da Tuo, and I haven't tasted it for a long time, and now I am fortunate to have been rewarded by His Majesty before I left the palace and returned to the house." You have to try it, too. ”
After speaking, Nanzhi stepped forward and took the stew from Wang Han's hand, and then served it in front of Qin Shujiu, took a jade spoon and scooped up the soup, and after eating, Qin Shujiu smiled and said: "The fruit is the favorite of this palace." After laughing, Wang Han continued: "Thanks to the mother's joy, the mother's favorite self-righteousness is not to forget, that is, every ingredient in this stew is stewed according to the mother's childhood preferences, what is wrong with the mother?" ”
After inquiring, the smile on Qin Shujiu's face was already unfolding, and after laughing, Qin Shujiu said: "Wang Da's steward's craftsmanship, can it still be wrong?" After speaking, he saw Wang Han hurriedly making a move,
When he said this, there was a smile on his eyebrows, and the smiling eyes met Qin Shujiu's eyes, and Qin Shujiu smiled when he smiled, so he nodded, and Qin Shujiu said: "As long as it is handled by the general manager of Wang." This palace is peace of mind, how can it be bad or not bad? Mr. Wang has won the trust of his father, and Mr. Wang is also worried about the inside and outside of this house, especially the matter of the eldest sister recently, my father and mother are afraid that they are very painful, and the affairs of the house are also due to the dedication of Mr. Wang. ”
"Niangniang's words are frustrating, the house suddenly changed, Lord Taiwei and Mrs. White-haired people sent black-haired people, this house is no intention to operate, I as the head of the house should do my best. My old life was given by Lord Taiwei, even if it is worth ten thousand deaths, not to mention that I am only in charge of everything in the house. This is said to be very good, that is, he really regards his life as a thing of the Qin Mansion, that is, after the words, Xu Shi remembered Qin Jingruo again, and Wang Handeng, who was still smiling on his face, showed sadness, and then sighed and said.
"The next qiē in this mansion is all safe, the queen of the Niangniang Dynasty has won the honor of His Majesty, and the former dynasty of the Taiwei is also powerful, and our Qin Mansion is even more like the sun, but it is pitiful for the eldest lady, it is unblessed, and she is ...... at a young age" After saying this, he sighed directly with worry, Wang Han said: "The temper of the eldest lady is too much like that of the eldest lady, if it were not for the temperament of the eldest lady, it would not have come to this point." ”
Qin Jingruo's temper is indeed like Qin Tianhao, at least like Qin Tianhao in front of people, upright, upright, and can't resist the temper that comes from temperament. It's just that Qin Jingruo is too much like this, but she is not as good at playing with mental arithmetic as Qin Shangshu, and finally let her temperament hurt her life and lose her life.
Wang Han's words were just an ordinary sigh, but when they fell on Qin Shujiu's ears, she was in a trance, and her eyes were scattered and then her heart drifted away.
Qin Shujiu's current qiē, if you want to say that it was snatched from Qin Jingruo's hands, Qin Jingruo is Qin Tianhao's eldest daughter, and she was also the one who was hired into the palace back then, but because Qin Jingruo suffered a natural disaster and ruined her appearance, so the opportunity to enter the palace will fall to Qin Shujiu. Everyone outside thought that Qin Jingruo's disfigurement was a natural disaster, and even the people in the Qin Mansion also thought that Qin Jingruo's disfigurement was due to a private agreement with a scholar for life, and they were dissatisfied with her father who forcibly sent her to a jackal place like the palace, so she had a stiff temper and ruined her appearance. Qin Jingruo's appearance was ruined by her, this is true, but no one knows that the scholar who has made a private lifelong decision with Qin Jingruo is also inseparable from Qin Shujiu.
Entering the palace, gaining favor, and taking revenge, these things they have been planning for more than ten years, just waiting for the day to make those who deserve it pay the retribution they deserve. And the most important thing about this kind of qiē is the link of entering the palace, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, they have done a lot of investigations before, and they have calculated all the qiē.
Qin Tianhao has a straight face. In fact, the ambition in his bones is extremely heavy, he has never been a person who can be satisfied lightly, and the eldest sister hit him with her mind after encountering the extinction, because what they did was a one-way bet. Therefore, for this bet, Wang Han sold himself into the Qin Mansion. These nearly twenty years of dedication have long made Wang Han the most credible person on Qin Tianhao's side. Perhaps Qin Tianhao never thought that his daughter would end up in this field and it was also somewhat inseparable from the general manager Wang he trusted.
The young lady of the official eunuch family stays in the boudoir all the year round, and when she meets such a talented scholar, how can she be secretly moved. A scholar from a poor family. Considering herself to be talented, it is inevitable that she will suddenly see the beautiful lady of the official eunuch, and it is inevitable that she will pursue it, this Qin Jingruo and the scholar fell in love at first sight, and it was expected that in the end, Qin Jingruo refused to enter the palace in order to marry her lover.
All of them were calculated earlier, except for Qin Jingruo's stubbornness, and finally resisted this unfair world by ruining his appearance.
A qiē and a qiē are all calculated.
There are inevitably mistakes in careful calculations, just like Qin Jingruo's self-destructive appearance, just like Qin Jingruo, who was bedridden after losing her face, and finally died on the bed with hatred after six years of illness.
Everything is hard to budget. Life itself is so fragile, Qin Jingruo's death, in the final analysis, is also because of their calculations, but the guilt born under this calculation is not enough to make Qin Shujiu stop a single step. The feeling of guilt in his heart was also a matter of that moment, that is, as soon as the guilt arose, he asked Qin Shujiu to force down, lowered his eyes and looked at the stew in the bowl, and was silent for a long time, and Qin Shujiu said softly.
"The matter of the eldest sister is indeed painful, and my father and mother are afraid that they will not be able to bear this blow recently, and everything in this house should be hard for the general manager of the king. If it is not in the house. It's still outside the house, and you have to pay attention to everything, don't do bad things because of your injuries, and then it will be inappropriate. ”
People are not grass and trees, who can be ruthless. Even the nearly 20 years of companionship are enough to make Wang Han feel in love with Qin Jingruo, Wang Han is sorry for Qin Jingruo's death, Qin Shujiu is not unaware of this pain. It's just that he has more important things to do in his hands, and even for the sake of this one thing, he can't be mistaken because of his emotions. It was because of this that Qin Shujiu said something to wake up, how could Qin Shujiu's reminder Wang Han not know. Immediately paused, showing a look of pain on his face, Wang Han said respectfully.
"Rest assured, my life was not mine a long time ago, just for the sake of my master, I am also a person who can risk my life. Since Niangniang handed over all the affairs in the house to me, I should not insult Niangniang's trust, whether it is the affairs of the house or the affairs outside the house, it must be done properly, and I will definitely not let Niangniang and the Taiwei worry about it. ”
With Wang Han's words, it was enough, and at the moment, Qin Shujiu should also nod his head and recognize her words. Even Nanzhi, who had just been waiting for the two of them to talk, also said loudly at this time: "Niangniang, it's not too early, you should rest." ”
Although Wang Han is the chief manager of the Qin Mansion, he is only a subordinate of the Qin Mansion after all, Qin Shujiu is now more expensive than the concubine, it is inappropriate to ask a man to stay in the house for a long time, even if he is outside and inside, he has been hearing the sound of conversation in the room, and he can't stay for a long time. It was after Nanzhi's words that Wang Han bowed immediately, and then under Qin Shujiu's signal, Wang Han exited the inner room.
After waiting for Wang Han to exit the inner room, Nan Zhi stepped forward to help Qin Shujiu get up, and only then did Nan Zhi say softly after him: "Sister, you said that Mr. Wang is there?" ”
For Wang Han, Nan Zhi didn't understand after all, so he was a little worried when he heard Fang Cai's words, but this worry was a lot of self-thinking for Qin Shujiu, so he was helped back to the bed by Nan Zhi, Qin Shujiu opened his mouth and replied: "Don't worry, Uncle Wang won't disappoint us, the evidence sent by the eldest sister over the years is all due to Uncle Wang." Uncle Wang's heart is clear and knows whose life his life is. (To be continued.) )
