Chapter 101: Resentment
Early the next morning, Chen Jia was strangled awake, to be precise, she was ridden by Shi Hailing, Shi Hailing was lying on her side, one hand around Chen Jia's neck, and one leg on Chen Jia's waist. Chen Jia felt that she was being treated as a big pillow and let her hold her for half a night.
"This sleeping appearance, I really can't compliment it!"
Chen Jia quietly pushed away Shi Hailing's arms and legs, got up and rubbed his sore waist.
"En......" Shi Hailing stretched his waist, "It's so comfortable to sleep!" ”
"......" Chen Jia listened to it and felt that her head was full of sweat. If it weren't for the face of the special gift Shi Zunbao gave yesterday, she would really want to go crazy.
Begonia and Xiaorou came in together to serve and wash. Chen Jia hurriedly instructed Begonia to make a long pillow today, Begonia asked why, Chen Jia refused to say, she had to make a pillow in confusion.
Everyone dressed up and went to the front hall for breakfast together. Chen Jia drank a few mouthfuls of porridge and hurriedly went to Jiang Youchun's bedroom to check the situation, but saw that Jiang Youchun was trying to swallow the porridge fed to her by the maid one bite at a time, and it seemed that she used all her strength with every swallow.
"I'll do it." Chen Jia reached out and took the bowl in the maid's hand and picked up the spoon with one hand. She scooped up a little, blew lightly, and handed it to Jiang Youchun's mouth. Jiang Youchun looked at Chen Jia gently, he opened his mouth slightly, and Chen Jia sent the porridge into his mouth.
"Big brother, you drink slowly, don't be in a hurry." Chen Jiaji patiently fed Jiang Youchun, she was very worried that Jiang Youchun would touch the wound, and only scooped a little bit each time, Jiang Youchun really didn't have so much trouble eating.
After feeding half a bowl of porridge, Chen Jia put down the spoon. She asked Jiang Youchun to wait for two hours before eating, the wound was in her heart, and she was afraid that if she ate too much, it would open. Jiang Youchun smiled and nodded, he really wanted to speak, but he really didn't have the courage to speak because he felt some pain even when he inhaled.
"Big brother, do you want water?"
Jiang Youchun shook his head.
"Are you going to sleep, then?"
Jiang Youchun nodded and closed his eyes. Chen Jia gently removed a pillow to make him sleep more comfortably.
When she arrived outside, Chen Jia asked about the maid. "Where's Madame?"
"Miss Hui. The lady saw that the son had woken up and had just gone back to rest. The maid replied.
"Then you go to my hospital to sue a few girls, and say that Chen Jia is taking care of the eldest brother. I don't have time to spend with them, let them take care of themselves, and treat them like their own home in my yard, you're welcome. ”
"Yes. Miss. The slave must have brought the words. ”
……
"Report to your lordship, a corpse of a female corpse was found by the Wuli River on the outskirts of the city!"
"What? Female corpse? How old is it? "As soon as Lord Yin Liang of the Capital Mansion heard this, the words of the old man of the Shi family immediately popped up in his mind." If you want to investigate secretly, you have to notify me immediately if there is a young woman's corpse. ”
"About fifteen or sixteen."
"Have you seen that work?"
"I have seen that he was thrown into the river after he died, and there was no water in his belly, and the deceased was raped before he died."
"You hurry up and inform ......" Lord Liang suddenly had a head and two big, at the feet of the Son of Heaven. There was such a murder, and the four major families were involved. That's a tricky thing.
……
Chen Jia kept guarding Jiang Youchun until the next day, when Mrs. Jiang came to replace her, she rushed to her courtyard, and heard the sound of playing music in the courtyard from a distance. Chen Jia was relieved and walked over quickly.
I saw that Sun Ronghua and Shi Hailing's pianist were playing a cheerful piece together, Sun Ronghua's face faintly showed a hint of joy, that joy could not be hidden, since it could not be expressed from the face, it poured out from the fingertips, so that the people who heard it couldn't help but feel happy in their hearts. And Shi Hailing is dancing smartly. Yang Zhaoxue was also swinging her body to the music. He hummed a moving song in a low voice.
"Wow! This is an unplugged concert! Chen Jia also danced happily to the music, she no longer worried about what to hide or not, these are all leaders in various talents, and although she knows everything, she is not as proficient and professional as they are immersed in every day.
Everyone danced or sang songs, exchanging experiences with each other, and Chen Jia even mentioned that everyone had leisure to rehearse a few shows. As a result, everyone agreed, so Chen Jia brought up the classic repertoire "Amazing Dance" from her previous life, she was responsible for the lyrics, Zhao Xue was responsible for singing, and Hai Ling was responsible for choreographing the dance. Ronghua was in charge of playing and arranging. Everyone has been busy for more than an hour, and they can perform well.
"Miss, the young master of the Shi family asks to see you." Haitang couldn't bear to interrupt everyone, but Shi Zunbao was outside the courtyard gate. She had to bite the bullet.
"Let him in." Chen Jia was in a good mood, and she spoke with a sense of joy.
"Chen Jia." Shi Zunbao first said hello to Chen Jia, and then greeted his sister and cousins. But he didn't see his usual smile on his face.
"What's the matter?" Chen Jia saw that his feelings were wrong, and hurriedly asked.
"It's Hai Ling's personal maidservant Dieyi's body that has been found." Shi Zunbao said heavily.
"What, is Dieyi dead?" Shi Hailing covered his mouth and asked with a look of disbehesitation. Sun Ronghua and Yang Zhaoxue also widened their eyes and looked at Shi Zunbao incredulously.
"Yes, she died, and she was humiliated before she died. That man was damned. Shi Zunbao looked sad and indignant.
Everyone's hearts sank, if it was Shi Hailing who was kidnapped that day, is Shi Hailing the corpse now? But who is so bold and dares to move the people of the four major families, not to mention the choice of the emperor's favorite concubine?
"Poor Dieyi, I really shouldn't have brought her to the capital." Shi Hailing's eyes rippled with tears. Even if it is a handmaid, but after all, it is a personal handmaid, and such handmaidens usually grew up together since childhood, and they are like sisters. Now that it's gone, she's really upset.
"I have come in quietly today to tell you, and you will stay here for the next few days, and do not go anywhere. My father and I were looking into the matter. I'm going to inform my cousin and get them to pay attention. Shi Zunbao said seriously.
"Don't worry." Chen Jiadao. "There are guards patrolling the Taishi Mansion day and night, and they won't let that person take advantage of it, but you should try to come here as little as possible, in case that person has his eyes on Hai Ling. Will it follow you too? ”
"You have a point. Take care of yourselves, and send someone to inform us if something happens, for I haven't been here lately. After Shi Zunbao finished speaking, he hurried out.
Everyone listens to such a heavy topic. I don't have the happy mood just now.
After dinner, Chen Jia went to the study, Jiang Qian was holding a white child in his hand, thinking.
"Grandpa, why do you play chess alone?" Chen Jia walked over and looked at the chessboard, it turned out to be an endgame, and Taishi was cracking it after setting up the endgame.
"Why don't you accompany a few guests in the courtyard? Know that 'the guest does not care about the Lord.' I'm afraid I'm an idiot'! Jiang Qian seemed to be in a bad mood, and even if his tone was soft, he still felt unhappy.
"Is Grandpa sullen because of the early dynasty?" Chen Jia asked tentatively.
"Alas, grandpa is old! The emperor gradually sat down on the dragon chair. Have begun to learn to balance the courtiers! In fact, I can understand all this, but he just listened to Wu Shaobao's words, he disregarded the interests of the country for the sake of vindictiveness! Jiang Qian also told the truth.
"Or, is he in love with Wu Shaobao's daughter?" Chen Jia recalled the emperor's expression when he looked at Wu Yaqin at the state banquet.
"It's possible what you're saying. Wu Shaobao's daughter is indeed an outstanding talented woman, although you are better, but after all, you are still a child. Jiang Qian put away the chess pieces one by one, and he was able to pour out the depression in his heart, and the depression in his heart was slightly relieved.
"And I can't look down on that stupid guy because of fate." Chen Jia grimaced. Make Jiang Qian happy.
"Haha, that's right, I'm someone's granddaughter in Jiang. Not everyone can deserve it. Jiang Qian was really amused.
"Grandpa, that servant girl of the Shi family is dead. It is said that he died a terrible death. Chen Jia's mood became heavy.
"I also guessed that since I was taken captive, I either died in humiliation, or I committed suicide in disgrace. Where can it end well? It's just that now several daughters live in my house, in case something happens, do you think about it for the old man? Jiang Qian looked at Chen Jia, his expression didn't look like he was joking.
"I'm sorry for causing trouble to my grandfather." Chen Jia lowered her head and felt very sorry.
"I heard that you already know a lot of formations, do you want to try to set up some formations in the house, and you can also prevent one or two?"
"What a good idea, grandpa." Chen Jia suddenly became enlightened, as long as the formation was set up in the house, so that people could not get close to the small courtyard. Why didn't you think of it? "I'm sorry to set up a formation, so as not to have too many dreams at night."
Chen Jia went back to set up a lost formation in his small courtyard, except for himself and the three maidservants, no one was allowed to enter it, and those maidservants also knew the specific direction and pace of entering the formation. Jiang Qian also informed the guards and maids in the entire mansion that they were not allowed to approach the small courtyard. Make sure no one strays into the formation.
There is no impermeable wall in the world, and Chen Jia is also worried that his security measures are not done well, which will bring disaster to the Taishi Mansion. But she didn't know that sometimes disasters didn't have to be in the house......
……
"Wu Shaobao, the emperor asked our family to inform Shaobao, Ling Yan is a rare talented woman, the emperor values it very much, I hope you can be a concubine if you are well educated!"
Dexi's father-in-law's words suddenly made Wu Shaobao overjoyed. I thought that my self-defeating at the state banquet had made it hopeless for my daughter to enter the palace, but I didn't expect the emperor to take a fancy to his daughter, which is a great thing.
"Father-in-law, this time the daughters of the three major families are very good, and only the third concubine is left in the position of the fourth concubine, this is ......"
"So let you be well-educated, Ling Yan and those three are very good, but there are always the best three, right? Don't you say? Lord Wu. ”
"Yes, yes, my father-in-law said yes. The minister must raise his daughter well in order to live up to the grace of God! ”
Dexi's father-in-law's message went to the Wu family, naturally others know, and if someone knows, someone will sue Jiang Qian, after all, he is a master, sometimes you are in a high position, you may not want to do anything, but there are people who want to convince you to do things well, but the credit is given to you in vain. In order to think of him when he is promoted. Jiang Qian's heart also began to feel uneasy when he found out. He found Chen Jia, explained the situation, and asked Chen Jia to pay attention in the future, because Wu Shaobao is a narrow-minded villain who will repay him.
Chen Jia also felt very uneasy in her heart, because of her impulsiveness, Jiang Qian's passivity in the court, which was a consequence she never expected. She naively thought that she could untie the knot in private, she sent someone to Miss Wu to make a new pair of jewelry designed by herself, with novel and unique patterns, some even have cartoon patterns, costing nearly a thousand taels, hoping to turn the conflict into jade silk, but unfortunately her gift was returned by the Wu family on the spot.
Chen Jia is helpless, it seems that this beam is settled!
In the past few days, Jiang Youchun has been getting better and better, and he can even get up and walk back and forth, but he can't do strenuous exercise yet. Chen Jia came to talk to him every day, Jiang Youchun was afraid that his words would affect the wound, so he always watched Chen Jia speak with a smile, and his eyes were full of tenderness to talk.
