Chapter 22: Suicide in fear of sin

87_87437 Out of the gate of the villa, Jiang Yanmei got into the carriage of the Zhenguo Mansion with the support of the big girl Qiao'er, but after waiting for a long time, Guo Chengsi didn't come up. So she instructed Qiao'er to open the door curtain and look at it, only to find that Guo Chengzhong was still standing next to the car and looking into the garden, Jiang Yanmei asked puzzledly: "Chengzhong, don't get in the car yet, what are you looking at?" ”

Guo Chengzhong's cheeks were slightly red, and he said loudly: "I haven't said goodbye to my aunt, Cousin Xue, and Cousin Qing yet!" ”

Jiang Yanmei said: "Don't wait, your cousin Qing sprained her foot, and asked her mother-in-law to carry her in a soft bag, and I am afraid that she will not be able to get out for a while." ”

Guo Chengzhong was a little unwilling in his heart, but he didn't dare to forcibly refute Jiang Yanmei's words. He rolled his eyes and said, "Not only my aunt, but also my aunt and eldest brother didn't come out. After all, we came together, and now we leave them alone to go first, which seems unreasonable. ”

Jiang Yanmei didn't think about it and said, "Where will your aunt and eldest brother come back, and the princess will not be left to say a few more words before leaving?" Don't grind there, come up quickly. After saying that, she couldn't bear to talk nonsense with Guo Chengzhong, sat back in the car, and told Qiao'er to put down the door curtain.

Guo Chengsi saw that he couldn't wait any longer, so he had to get into the carriage slowly. Qiao'er kicked the cloud board, and the coachman immediately raised his horsewhip and shouted and walked.

Jiang Yanmei's mother and son left, at least taking away most of the small nursing homes that came out of the Zhenguo Mansion. Sui'er, who was still sitting on Song Qinglian's carriage embroidering handkerchiefs, said curiously to Jian Lan when she saw this: "Sister, why did the second lady and the second young master leave first?" ”

Jian Ran put down the half-embroidered handkerchief in her hand, moved her stiff neck, and said proudly: "Let's go!" Our wife used to be the eldest princess's companion, and the eldest princess was a little love. When returning to the eldest princess's banquet, she always has to leave our lady alone to say a few more words to herself, and then let her out, how can these others compare. ”

Sui'er secretly stuck out her tongue, she looked at the neighing of people and horses outside, and found that there were many graceful and luxuriously dressed ladies and ladies who got into the carriages in various mansions, so she begged in a low voice: "Good sister, you also teach me to recognize the appearance of these nobles." ”

Jian Ran happened to be tired of embroidery, so she also leaned over and quietly pointed to the familiar carriage and muttered to Sui'er

The convoy of the Taifu Mansion moved slowly in the snow, and there was a wide canopy double-plane carriage in the center. Mrs. Taifu leaned on a soft light brown ruyi pattern pillow, holding a brass openwork carved rose pattern handstove in her hand, and a fine wool felt on her lap.

Liu Yuqing and Zhong Ziyuan sat under her, because the carriage was shaking, Mrs. Taifu was afraid that the two of them would hurt their eyes, so they were not allowed to read books to pass the time. Idle and bored, the two of them only pulled the big girl Caixia to teach them to play.

Caixia's hands are very skillful, and several colored ropes are flying up and down in her hands, and soon they become beautiful wishful knots, picture brocade knots, auspicious cloud knots, auspicious knots, and grass flower knots

Obviously, it looked like a very simple thing, but it became difficult in the hands of Liu Yuqing and Zhong Ziyuan, and the good colored rope either didn't tie the knot and turned into a mess, or it was made into a four-like. When Liu Yuqing broke the auspicious knot in her hand again, she couldn't help but throw it into Caixia's arms, and shouted: "What kind of Laoshzi, why do you have to spend so much energy to get it?" It's even more difficult than the depiction and making the pair. ”

Caixia said with a smile: "These jobs were originally done by slaves and maids to make a lot of money, and the girl's hands are delicate, so she is naturally not used to doing them." ”

Zhong Ziyuan still lowered her head, sweating profusely, trying to find the thread from the mess in her hand. Liu Yuqing didn't say a word, snatched the thing in her hand and threw it to Caixia, and said, "Don't play this, let's play chess!" ”

Seeing this, Mrs. Taifu couldn't help sighing and said, "The two of you are now at the age of saying goodbye, and one of you is either writing poems and paintings, or playing chess and playing the piano all day long. One spends his days studying medical books and prescriptions, and planting medicines. Those embroidery, cooking skills and housekeeping skills are not learned, which is really worrying. ”

Zhong Ziyuan also took the opportunity to throw away her hand, she smiled and said to Mrs. Taifu: "Madame doesn't have to worry about my sister, with my sister's family background and appearance, she will definitely marry into the Zhong Ming Ding Food Family in the future." Naturally, I don't need my sister to do these embroideries, the work of the people. An elegant person like my sister will definitely write poems with my brother-in-law every day, play the piano in my spare time, and be a pair of fairy couples. When Caixia heard this, she already covered her mouth and snickered.

Liu Yuqing's face turned red, she stomped her feet, twisted Zhong Ziyuan's sleeves, and said unrelentingly: "Mother, you listen to her make me up like this, hurry up and tear her mouth." ”

Mrs. Taifu sighed and said, "Although Ziyuan is right, but if you think about it carefully, in the future, will your husband's personal clothes, fan pendants, purses and other objects have to bother others to do it?" As the saying goes, you don't have to press your body to do a lot of art, and you still have to learn some of these jobs so that you won't be laughed at by your in-laws. ”

Liu Yuqing's face was so red that he was about to drip blood, and he only said to Zhong Ziyuan: "Look at you, you have summoned so many words from your mother." Now I'm only settling accounts with you. ”

Zhong Ziyuan hurriedly smiled and begged for mercy: "Good sister, spare my sister this time!" ”

Liu Yuqing said proudly: "I was happy to play tricks before, but this time I will pretend to be pitiful again!" I can't rely on you. Caixia, come and tickle her. As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and scratched Zhong Ziyuan's ribs for a while, and Caixia dropped the colored thread in her hand to make fun. It's just that Zhong Ziyuan is the most afraid of itching, being controlled by the two of them like this, she can't hide and hide, she can't help it, she only smiles so that her cheeks are red, and her eyes are amazingly bright.

Mrs. Taifu didn't say anything anymore, just smiled and watched the pair of delicate girls laughing and playing

In the Qingyin Palace, Prince Rui and Guo Chengsi were still waiting for news. A man in a black suit strode in with long legs. Prince Rui recognized this person at a glance as Xing Da, the leader of the secret guards who usually followed him closely.

As Xing Da gradually walked in, a smell of blood came to his nose. Only then did they see clearly that Xing Da's black clothes were actually dirty, and they were also stained with a suspicious dark liquid, and Prince Rui's eyes couldn't help but slowly narrow.

Xing Dayi clenched his fists and said with a lot of guilt: "That woman is not only a master of disguise, but there are also two people outside who have a fierce confrontation with our people. We were defenseless for a moment and let the woman escape. But the two people who answered her all told us to take it. Unfortunately, after taking them, they immediately committed suicide by poisoning. The poison is the most common Heding red, and he is killed instantly when he sees the blood sealing his throat, and there is no object on his body that can prove his identity. ”

Prince Rui's heart shook violently, and his fingers couldn't help but tap lightly on the table in front of him. He originally had a hide-and-seek mentality about this whole thing, just wanting to find that woman and ask who didn't want him to marry Jiang Fu. But things have developed so far, and he has felt beyond his grasp, and it seems that inadvertently, he has touched a huge black curtain against himself.

Guo Chengsi said in surprise: "Could it be that even you are injured?" ”

Xing Da looked down at the blood stains on his body, and said with a wry smile: "Back to Guo Shizi, these blood stains are not villains, they were left by that woman." ”

Prince Rui's eyebrows furrowed deeply, and he said incredulously: "You still commit suicide in fear of sin? Who spent such a big deal to frame a boudoir girl and this king? ”。
