The early spring day in Dingjing, such as the face of the little doll repeatedly, the first moment it is still warm and smooth, the warm light is pleasant, the next moment the spring rain continues, and the rain is soft and annoying.

Lin'anhou's wife Fang's sudden death of a vicious illness, spread in the streets and alleys, most of the common people love to listen to the secrets of these wealthy families, the rumors of the northwest's general collaborating with the enemy and treason are in the front, and the obituary of Lin'anhou's wife Fang's violent death is behind, and the subtleties in the middle are all hidden in the eyes of the people who walk the streets and alleys when they meet people.

With unspeakable secrecy, and self-righteous half-hiding and half-tucking.

Shuangfu Street is noisy and shouting as always, a person's death is insignificant, people who don't care laugh and talk about a few words, how to live how to live, where is the talk in the mouth is more important than livelihood.

Jiujing Hutong is rare to fall silent, the blue bricks and vermilion tiles are hung everywhere with plain white silk, the big red lanterns hanging high in the porch have been removed early, and replaced with two white silk lanterns with the word "lay", although there is an endless stream of green silk cars and small cars running in, but it is still as lonely as death.

Xingzhao stood in the porch of Huaishan Garden in a daze, and from this angle, he could see the white silk hanging in the main courtyard being blown high by the wind, floating in the air one by one, like a kite with a broken string.

She went through three funerals, one of which was her own and the other two were her mother's.

Bodhisattva, when you let Xingzhao receive grace, do you want Xingzhao to experience the pain again?

Xingzhao is incompetent and useless, he can't save his mother from fire and water, and he can't change his mother's fate if he lives again!

Xingzhao's heart is like a thousand needles. Thousands of awls stabbed down hard, and the sharp pain kept her out of breath. Only holding on to the vermilion lacquer landing pillar, panting again and again. I couldn't cough it out, and the chest cavity was like an old man pulling through the bellows one by one, and the strength was not strong and I couldn't pull it out, only the hollow sound of destroying the withering and decaying. A face and a pair of eyes were flushed, but their eyes were looking straight at the main courtyard.

The appearance of a seven or eight-year-old lady looks hideous and poignant.

Lian Rong's swollen eyes hurriedly took out a plain silk purse containing mint and perilla from her sleeve, hurriedly stepped forward to sniff Xingzhao, helped Xingzhao again, and gently stroked her back one by one. I remembered that the eldest lady had passed away for five days. Xingzhao lived like a walking corpse for five days, without words or sounds. Even since I cried in the main hall that night, I didn't even cry. There was a cry in the words, "You want to open up, people are born, old, sick and die, seeing you like this, the eldest lady is not happy below!" ”

"The eldest lady is buried, and the people sent there haven't caught up with Jing Dalangjun, and the little seventh master is still young. I can't hold it when I throw the pot and hold the spirit" Lianyu's voice was hoarse, and there was still a circle of gauze wrapped around her hand, so she didn't step forward, and stood behind Xingzhao. Said slowly: "You are the eldest daughter of the long house, and it is your biological mother who has passed away, so you don't support it." Who goes? ”

Lianyu's face seemed to have the strength of a strong man's broken wrist, and he stepped forward. He muttered in a low voice: "The funeral ceremony of the eldest lady was handled by the second lady, and the Hou Ye received the guests who came to mourn. Mrs. Tai's body couldn't hold on, so she went back to Rongshoutang first. Let Hou Ye be alone on the left and right, is it even if he acquiesces to what Hou Ye says, what is the truth? Have you forgotten the cause of the death of the eldest lady! ”

"I haven't forgotten, how can I forget." Xingzhao stared at Lianyu categorically, and when he spoke, he found that his voice was so hoarse that he could barely hear clearly.

Xingzhao raised his chin, his eyes were full of plain white silk, he stretched his head up, his throat felt better, and he said quietly: "Let's go, Brother Shi'er can't support the spirit basin, I'll help it." If Hou Ye can't say it, I'll talk about it. Mother's unspeakable grievances, I'll tell you. ”

Lianyu's eyes were red, and she stepped forward to help Xingzhao, without the pleasure of succeeding, only a burst of sourness in her heart.

Even the four girls who are full of grudges still have vitality and fighting spirit. And the four girls of the walking dead live in longing and remorse all day long, and living is like death.

The mourning hall is located in the open space next to Bibo Lake, the coffin of the eldest lady is docked there, the three animal sacrifices are placed on the sandalwood platform, several large pieces of ice are placed on all sides, a few futons are placed in front of the golden silk nanmu coffin, He Xingxiao and He Xingshi are wearing sackcloth and plain silk hemp hats, kneeling on the top.

When the ladies of your family came, they stood up and saluted and thanked.

The ladies of each family were led by the maids to the Evergreen Water Pavilion next to them to rest, Xingzhao came from the Jiuli Corridor, fixed in place, looked at the flickering candlelight burning in front of the mourning hall, held back his tears, and turned around to go to the Evergreen Water Pavilion.

There is no doubt that his mother was forced to death by He Yan.

There is no doubt that blood debts are paid for blood, and murder is paid for life.

The plain linen robe dragged on the ground, walking forward little by little, approaching the evergreen water pavilion, and the woman's voice chirped and shouted.

What was said, Xing Zhaoli couldn't hear clearly at the door, but the maid who was guarding the verandah saw that it was the fourth girl coming, and she was shocked for a while, and opened her mouth in a hurry and asked, "Fourth girl, are you well?" ”

Yes, He Yan said that his absence was too sad and couldn't afford to be sick.

Xingzhao shook his head, didn't say anything, gently pushed open the door, and heard the sound of the door "creaking" inside, and then looked at this end, and suddenly quieted down.

Xingzhao crossed the threshold, paused, bowed his head and bowed his knees to say hello, and said softly: "Xingzhao greets all the ladies, the mother unfortunately passed away, Xingzhao was terrified, but he was also grateful to all the ladies for coming to condole." ”

After speaking, he bent his knees deeply, and said again: "My mother passed away, and there was something wrong with it."

Suddenly, a little maid ran over tremblingly and interrupted Xingzhao's words in a loud voice: "Queen Mother, Queen Mother is here!" ”

Before the words fell, there was a tall woman with two columns of attendants, wearing a light blue high-waisted skirt, without powder, pushing the door in from behind, her eyes were slightly red, but her expression was dignified and solemn.

The ladies in the room were stunned and stunned, didn't they say that Queen Fang was grounded in the palace and had lost her holy grace! How dare you appear at the girl's funeral ceremony now!

There are also those who reacted quickly, and hurriedly bowed their knees, singing in their mouths: "The courtiers have seen the queen's mother, may the queen's mother be blessed and safe!" ”

Those who reacted knelt down and kowtowed. Xingzhao has his hands in his sleeves, only Queen Fang's clear eyebrows and eyes in his eyes, white facial features, redemption in his heart, great joy, and sorrow, and the five flavors are mixed to let Xingzhao stand there, unable to cry or laugh.

"Auntie"

finally called out, and Xingzhao's tears fell straight down, why did you come, why did you come!

Empress Fang didn't look at Xingzhao, her voice was clear, and she couldn't hear the waves: "Let's all be flat." As he spoke, he walked to the main seat, and when he sat down steadily, he folded his hands on his knees, and saw that everyone was hanging their heads and getting up, and then he said: "Mrs. Lin'an Hou is the sister of this palace, and her body has always been very healthy in the past, but she went suddenly, and this funeral was also a little hasty, and Mrs. Lao came over." ”

In the letter, Mrs. Hou Min wanted to cry with joy, the emperor withdrew his troops and surrounded the Fang family, but in the letter, Hou followed Fang Qi! Eat together with sugar, and taste together if there is bitterness.

I was in a panic for a long time, and I suddenly heard that Fang's violent death made me even more sad.

Empress Fang's appearance in Anhou Mansion gave a signal that the Fang family had not collapsed yet?

"Mrs. Lin'anhou is a well-known and good-natured person in Dingjing City, and she has a handkerchief with her courtiers" It was Li Lingqing's wife who wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief while crying, and she choked up and said: "I heard that I can't come and go in one breath, and the world is unpredictable." Lin'an Hou can also be regarded as having a heart, three animal sacrifices, gold and silver to accompany the funeral, and invited the monks of Dingguo Temple to read the blessing"

Xingzhao endured crying, biting his lip desperately, turning the words he wanted to say in his mouth, standing at the bottom of his head, he saw Queen Fang's eyes glancing over, his hand shrunk in his sleeve and trembled, swallowing it raw.

Empress Fang's expression did not change, but a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes, and she said, "My brother's war in the northwest is not over, and she can't see her eldest brother returning. In the end, she is blessed with short breath, the He family is a well-behaved family, and she can't stay long if she falls into the nest of blessings. ”

Mrs. Li was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered the rumors in the market that Queen Fang said the two things together, and there was something in the words. Immediately silenced, the Li family can't mix this matter, and once they make peace, it will be like falling into a quagmire, the Fang family and the He family, no one can be offended.

Empress Fang exchanged a few more words with a few ladies, then got up and said: "My sister's eldest son, Brother Jing, has the belligerent and competitive blood of the Fang family on his body, and his mother endured the pain to fight against the Tartars in the northwest after her death. He came down to the hall again, took Xingzhao, and endured sadness in his words: "This palace is grateful for the kindness of all the ladies, and I have not yet worshiped my sister."

If you have the opportunity, you will get up and greet you: "You go, you go!" ”

Xingzhao was personally led out of the Evergreen Water Pavilion by Queen Fang, and he had thousands of words to say in his heart, and was about to open his lips, but he heard Queen Fang's deep voice, "Ah, what are you going to say?" ”

Xingzhao's heart trembled, he looked up at Queen Fang, quickly sorted out his thoughts, and said softly: "Mother died in vain, blood debts and blood were paid, and Hou Ye forced his mother to such a field."

"Tell the truth, and then!" Empress Fang lowered her voice, and her solemn expression suddenly became soft and worried, "And then?" How old are you, even if a seven or eight-year-old lady tells the truth, can others believe it? He Yan is the Marquis of Lin'an, holding the authority, when the time comes, you will only be separated by a father and daughter, expel you from the He family, and eliminate the end of the family tree, don't lose your wife and break the army, everything must be considered in the long run"

"You know there's something wrong with your mother's death!" Xingzhao's hand tightened, and he could feel that Queen Fang's hand was cold and refreshing.

Empress Fang smiled softly, with endless ridicule and hostility: "Empress Dowager Gu's sudden framing has caused a lot of rumors in the Dingjing City, and Ah Fu died violently. After a pause, Queen Fang's eyes turned red, and she smiled again: "I didn't come up in one breath, I went to He Yan to be a fool when everyone else!" (To be continued......)
