Chapter 246: Undercurrent (Medium)

This year is a little troublesome, Duanwangfu is okay, after the Lantern Festival, Brother Huan personally came to the door to entrust the six princes to him to domesticate a few dogs with ropes bolted, several dogs are very majestic, fierce is fierce can be domesticated to recognize the owner and recognize the fast, a few dogs that grow half the size of the dog around the sixth affectionate and affectionate messing around, the six princes like it very much, but the young and old are very old, happy and angry, expressionless after dinner, one hand holding the daughter-in-law, one hand leading the dog to the backyard for a walk.

Xingzhao was far away from the dog and laughed at him, "I was so happy that I laughed when I wanted to, and I was careful to choke it." ”

The sixth prince still had a solemn face, but he trotted with the dog under his feet.

The man was sullen.

After getting along for a long time, there are no secrets between husband and wife at all - they even know who is going to go to the gong bucket and when to talk about what secrets are there?

Parenting is a mutual accommodation and tolerance, in the long years of life, the person's shortcomings will slowly surface, it is easy to fall in love with and get used to a person's advantages and strengths, but what about his shortcomings?

The sixth is exquisite, has a low tolerance for people, has a stubborn personality, and hates change and flexibility - the study furnishings that are used to cannot be changed at all, Xingzhao's whim has changed the pattern of the inner compartment, and the sixth child has been bored for three days and can't bear it after all, and Xingzhao started to discuss, "Can the small wooden case not be placed on the left?" Wouldn't it be nice to put it on the right side of the bed? Seeing that the sixth child was so worried that his eyebrows were about to fall off in the past three days, Xingzhao was stunned and laughed out loud.

There should be many such and such problems, but in Xingzhao's eyes. These are all lovely. Innocuous.

But what if you can't tolerate it?

Xingzhao looked at the white cloth wrapped around his head. Min Jirou, who was leaning against the side of the bed, had everything in her heart, sighed and walked forward.

Min Jirou's expression was very calm, with a white cloth bandage wrapped around her head, her cheeks were very pale, and there was no blood on her lips.

She raised her eyes and saw Xingzhao. The corners of his mouth hooked up, and he greeted Xingzhao in a very soft voice: "You have rushed first, even the chamberlain sent by Concubine Chang, Ah Ke has let people send him away, and he will let you in." ”

Concubine Shi had a miscarriage, she cried so much that she cried with rain when she sat in the small confinement, and left the second prince in the side compartment every day, and the grandmothers and mothers-in-law who were in the palace said that it was bad luck to be a little confinement, and it was best not to go into the man's house, but Concubine Shi cried. Tears were wrapped in his eyes, and the second prince's heart softened. I can't take care of any old customs.

Looking for a day of rest, the six princes and Xingzhao came to the palace of King Yu, one accompanied his second brother to relieve his feelings, and the other accompanied the second sister-in-law to chat.

Xingzhao sighed again and sat on the small stool next to the bed: "The second brother and King Duan are in the front yard, when I heard that I was coming to see you, I almost didn't burn incense and worship the Buddha." ”

Min Jirou lowered her head lightly, pursed her lips and smiled, but did not answer.

Xingzhao didn't know what to say anymore.

About thirty percent of the people suspect that it is Min Jirou's hands and feet, but there are also thirty percent of people who really think that this is an accident, when Xingzhao fifteen entered the palace to ask for peace, Queen Fang said this, "Chaos and chaos, fishing in troubled waters, but dare to hit your head on the axle, and dare to use yourself as a human flesh cushion to pick up the side concubine Even if you have doubts, you have to praise the name of Princess Yu's virtuous and upright princess." ”

Anyone can use the bitter meat meter.

Xingzhao was very puzzled, since Min Jirou grabbed Concubine Shi, when she fell, she used herself as a human cushion to block Sister Ting'er, she herself took care of Sister Ting'er, where did she come from, Sister Ting'er would definitely have a miscarriage, and she was not afraid of losing her wife and breaking her soldiers?

Or rather

Not Min Jirou's hand?

Even people who are so determined are a little shaken, let alone others.

Xingzhao leaned over and tucked the corners of the quilt for Min Jirou, and his voice was calm and calm, "Sister Ting'er is okay?" I didn't have this position to look at her, the second brother said that she kept crying and crying, and said that she dreamed that the child in her womb cried and called her mother, and said that she was a very healthy boy."

"It's a boy."

Min Jirou closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, she was clear, "The five-month-old child has grown into shape, and the doctor covered the child with a white cloth and picked it up." ”

Xingzhao's eyebrows frowned, doubts suddenly rose in his heart, his mind passed quickly, and the words rushed out of his mouth.

"Didn't you faint?"

Xingzhao's voice trembled a little.

Min Jirou raised her head instead, looked directly at Xingzhao very seriously, and chuckled when she looked at it: "No." As he spoke, he shook his head, "I didn't faint, I was set up crooked on the chaise longue in the inner compartment, the whole palace, oh, except for the servants in the main courtyard, all around the bed in the middle of the courtyard, except for a few maids in the main courtyard, the bright moon, the breeze and the listening water, no one stayed by my side." The servants didn't, neither did Ah Ke, Ah Ke came and went, from the inner compartment to the outer hall, carrying water and medicine to arrange - he didn't look at me, I lay on the chaise longue with half-squinted eyes, and when I touched my forehead, my hands were full of blood, and the blood flowed down my forehead to my chin, and then fell to the ground at once. Ayu, you know what? At that time, the blood was cold, there was no temperature, and I felt like I was being drenched from my head to my feet by a basin of cold water. ”

Min Jirou's voice is very light, and in every word, it still reveals the charm of the original and steady lady.

But the despair was heard from inside.

"The heir's important matters are urgent, there is urgency and delay, Sister Ting is pregnant, and the injury at that time should be more serious than Sister Min" Xingzhao also said softly, "One is bleeding and has a stomachache, and the other is in a coma but has not seriously injured the muscles and bones, this is an urgent matter, and that is a situation that can be slowed down a little, and the second brother was afraid that he was panicked at that time."

"There was no bloodshed!"

Min Jirou's emotions suddenly became excited, but everyone's excitement and gaffe were limited to a moment, and they calmed down immediately, and the words were repeated again, "She didn't bleed." The two of us fell into the carriage together. I stood in front of her. It was my hand that gripped the wheels tightly. I also fell first. She didn't fall to the ground, she fell on top of me, I shielded her from the impact and injury, her child and her were not in any danger at all at that time - these are all things that Ah Ke saw with his own eyes! ”

Xingzhao was stunned.

Why didn't Sister Ting'er have any children?

She has given birth to children, and she knows that some pregnant women are in good health, except for the first three months, they need to pay attention to the next three months. In the countryside farms, women worked with their bodies for six or seven months to feed the pigs. Sister Ting'er is in good health, and the diagnosis of this fetus has always been very healthy, if it is really as Min Jirou said, she suffered the biggest impact and collision first, then with a fall under the buffer, how much damage can it cause?

Xingzhao raised his head, gently held Min Jirou's hand resting on the outside of the quilt, and said word by word: "The carriage accident, Concubine Shi's miscarriage that night has become a fact"

That's it. After a pause, Xingzhao took a deep breath and asked, "Is it you?" ”

There was a sudden silence in the house.

The latticework opened a crack slightly. The wind poured in from the crack "whirring", the wind in early spring was cool with water, Min Jirou shuddered suddenly, stretched out her hand to tighten her clothes, lowered her head to avoid Xingzhao's eyes, and asked with a smile: "Does Grandma drink tea?" This year's new tea is Da Hong Pao. Oh, how can you not have it there, your brother is in Fujian, how convenient is it to buy tea and deliver tea."

Shut your mouth and open your mouth to reveal it.

Xingzhao's figure fell down invisibly, and he breathed a long sigh of relief from his heart, full of words that he couldn't tell what emotions he had, what emotions he had, pity, sorrow, disappointment, oh she was not qualified to be disappointed in Min Jirou, and she was not qualified to ask Min Jirou to do anything, any good or evil things, and she was not qualified to stand on the commanding heights of morality and humanity to feel sad.

This is just a process of Xingzhao from determination, to doubt, to certainty, but this is a moment when Min Jirou went from tolerance, to resentment, to hatred, a moment that slowly fell down, slowly fell to the abyss and the sea.

It's Min Jirou.

It's the game she did.

It's her.

Coming out of the Yuwang Mansion, Min Jirou insisted on going down to the ground to send, the second prince and the sixth prince walked in front, the two concubines walked behind, walked through the second door, Xingzhao asked Min Jirou to go back to the house, Min Jirou leaned on Qingfeng's body weakly, and only waved his hand at her.

Like a willow tree that has fallen in mid-spring.

Xingzhao's eyes turned red all of a sudden, he turned around and hugged Min Jirou, whispered a word in her ear, and then turned around and walked out.

In the past few days, Min Jirou has not cried, but after listening to this sentence, her eyes burned, and her eyes suddenly became foggy.

"Torture is not only tormenting others, love and hate, hate and resentment, resentment and self-pity are more tormenting oneself. Use your own inhuman form and conscience to condemn others to drag others into the quagmire, think about it yourself, is it worth the loss? ”

yes, she's torturing herself with skin cramps.

The snow road is slippery This is an external cause, but the wheels that have been smeared with glycerin are internal causes, Sister Ting fell off the carriage and fell on her, she didn't want the fetus to have an accident, and the fetus would be fine at that time, but the medicine prescribed by the doctor was a sharp weapon to urge her life - when she was dizzy and had a splitting headache, the second prince's statement and choice had already given the result and reason to end the entanglement of the three of them.

Her despair was the last straw.

If the second prince had been guarding her at the time, instead of just shouting about the pain in her mouth, but her body was very strong, this tragedy might not have happened. If the second prince was guarding her at that time, at least let her see the second prince's heart clearly, at least let her decide that this is the case, at least let her be satisfied, at least the child can be born healthy and live in this world as the eldest son.

Her test is vulnerable in the face of reality. Her childish stupidity was put to the test of tragedy for all three.

She set up a game, but the bet in this game is not the child that Sister Ting can rely on, but her conscience.

Min Jirou leaned on Qingfeng's body, climbed on the edge of the stone arch with her hand, and suddenly cried bitterly.

As soon as he came back from the Yuwang Mansion, Xingzhao had been wilting, and returned to Duanwang's Mansion, Xingzhao instructed someone to pack up some medicinal materials for Sister Ting'er and send them over, and when Lianyu selected ginseng, bird's nest, and deer antler velvet to nourish the objects and presented them to Xingzhao for inspection, Xingzhao looked at the list, sighed and put it down, and only said, "Forget it, don't send it over, others look at it and be hypocritical." ”

Lianyu nodded, and said no more.

The days go by, after all, there are still good things happening, the four princes are difficult to go out of the house to visit, and the six princes talk about wine, the man has tears and does not flick just because he has not reached the sad place, the grandfather drinks, the line is not good to interject, the four princes left, the sixth followed back to the main hall, straight to the point: "The fourth brother wants to take Duan Ruxiao to the Suiwang Mansion, I don't think this is a good idea, but the fourth brother said very sincerely, 'Xiaoyi passed away, leaving the young sister like duckweed, I will do my best to take care of Ruxiao, it is good to put it on my side, It's better to find a good family for her, I have to protect her after all. ’”

On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, Duan Ruxiao was secretly sent out of the palace and rushed overnight to Zhuangzi in Xingzhaotong Prefecture. Xingzhao originally planned to send her to Fujian to ask Luo for help, either to find a good family, or to learn a handicraft work, and then live smoothly for the rest of her life.

Who knew that the four princes were going to insert such a kick horizontally, and they also found Duanwangfu accurately.

Xingzhao sent someone to talk to Duan Ruxiao, but the little lady was clearly unwilling, and only said, "The lower ninth-rate people also have the idea of being the lower ninth-rate, and my brother is sorry for the four princes first, and I don't have the face to see the four princes again." The six princes handed the original words to the four princes, and finally gave up.

When the day entered the middle of spring, the matter of the six princes ordering a thorough investigation of the officialdom in Jiangnan has faintly shown some eyebrows, and the six princes are willing to talk more about Zhao these days - they are all thinking about things, and thinking about good things is better than thinking about bad things, right?

"Jiangnan officialdom is divided into several forces, the original governor of Jiangnan is the person of Lin'an Hou He Yan, do you remember when I fell into the water in Jiangnan? Taking advantage of this to overthrow the forces of Lin'an Hou He Yan in Jiangnan is a good thing for us, and it is also a good thing for Jiangnan officialdom -- with this battle, why didn't they take advantage of the situation to overthrow the control of the capital's forces in Jiangnan? Without control, collusion, the power is deeper, the one hand covering the sky is more rampant, the central government is weak, the master is weak, the servant is strong, and the Jiangnan officialdom is the king, and in recent years, there has been no cover-up. made false accounts, swallowed public grain, suppressed the court officials and supervision envoys sent by the central government, and even colluded with the old situation of the Chen family in Wanzhou, and encroached and spread from south to north little by little. ”

The sixth prince was born in the household department, and he was good at finding clues and discrepancies from the number of account books. (To be continued......)

ps: Min Jirou is just a temptation, a temptation to see which one is more important in the hearts of the two princes, but unfortunately the two princes chose the other side under the circumstances at the time, alas.
