Chapter 478: If You Are Coming (5K5, First Month Pass)
Ying Sleeve thought about it at this time, it turned out that this girl should be the concubine of Xie Donglian's aunt Xie Chang.
Xie Chang married Zhao Junxing, the eldest son of the Zhao family of the Xingzhou clan, from the capital.
It's a pity that a sudden mudslide a few years ago killed all the descendants of the Zhao family.
At that time, there were two scammers who took the opportunity to pretend to be Xie Chang's husband and daughter, and came to the capital from Xingzhou, trying to infiltrate the Xie family, but they were quickly discovered by Xie Dongli and then cleaned up.
And the Zhao family's family property was seized at that time by Xie Dongli to the official office of Xingzhou for the purpose of "review".
This is also the reason why the Zhao Sanye family waited for five years, and did not wait for the Zhao family's family property to be returned.
This girl probably accidentally suffered from the pond fish because of this.
It's hard to say, though.
If it weren't for Xie Donglian's order to seize the Zhao family's property, maybe those things would have fallen into the hands of this Zhao Sanye, seeing that his wife is so fierce and domineering, and she is fierce and poisonous to this little girl who should have been their family's cash cow, you know that their family is not a good bird.
The little girl is useless, and she doesn't know what will happen to her......
Ying Sleeve watched the crowd for a while.
Murong Changqing also listened to it beside him, he didn't know the relationship between the Zhao family and the Xie Dongli family, he just heard that the little girl was pulled by the family to sell a few taels of silver because she sold sugar gourds, and he couldn't help but be very angry.
That silver was the money he gave to buy sugar gourds, how could it become a "prostitute" in the mouth of that fat woman?!
"Stop!" Murong Changqing walked over. With a slight stroke of his arm, he pushed Zhao Sanjia and staggered, almost falling to the ground.
"Auntie! Aunt! Are you okay? The little girl was astonished. hurriedly threw the shelf of the sugar gourd on his body, and rushed over to help Zhao San's family get up.
Zhao Sanjia was pushed to the ground in front of everyone, feeling very shameless, and suddenly saw the girl pounce and slapped her out.
"Ah——!h The little girl was fanned and fell to the ground, and half of her face suddenly became red and swollen.
"You're still fighting?!" Murong Changqing was also angry. Someone didn't give him face under the nose of his eldest young master, and quickly kicked over and kicked Zhao Sanjia away. Then he reached out and pulled the little girl up.
At this time, someone in the crowd had already recognized him as Murong Changqing, the son of Murong Chen, the Marquis of Changxing, and hurriedly said to Zhao Sanjia: "This is the prince of Changxing Marquis!" - The prince of the world speaks, you still dare to fight?! ”
Zhao Sanjia stood up with the support of his maid and mother-in-law, and originally wanted to be hard-mouthed. I heard that it was the prince of Changxing. didn't dare to let go of a fart, only glared at the little girl, "Don't you want to go home with me?!" ”
The little girl was crying with tears on her face, but she didn't dare not leave, so she had to say to Murong Changqing: "This son, thank you for your great kindness, I ......"
Yingsleeve couldn't stand it anymore, so he stepped forward. He put a hand on the little girl's shoulder and asked softly, "Miss Zhao." What is your name? ”
The little girl turned around and saw a woman wearing a curtain talking to her, although the woman covered her head and face, but her voice was very beautiful, and the tail was long, like a small hook, and when she spoke, she felt that the hook could swing into people's hearts.
She subconsciously replied: "Slave Zhao Jin Xuan ......"
"Are you the daughter of the uncle of the Zhao family? Mrs. Xie is your mother-in-law? Yingsleeve asked again with a smile, and his tone was soft and reassuring, and the little girl's panicked heart slowly calmed down.
She nodded, and shrunk and said, "My father and mother-in-law...... It's all gone...... Brothers and sisters, uncles and aunts, are also gone......" After speaking, he raised his head, his big black and white eyes were filled with tears, and he looked at Yingsleeve with grief, "Thank you girl and son, I ...... I'm leaving. ”
Zhao Sanjia also said on the side: "This is my Zhao family's business, please don't meddle in it." Although he still couldn't pull his head, his tone was much better than the commanding gesture just now.
Zhao Jinxuan lowered his head, tears coming out of his eyes.
Yingsleeve pressed her shoulders and said quietly: "You still have uncles, aunts, cousins, and cousins-in-law in the capital, why don't you go to the capital to find relatives?" ”
"What...... What aunt and uncle? Cousin cousin?! Don't talk nonsense, girl. There is no one in her family for a long time, how can she have any relatives?! When the Zhao Sanjia heard this, they jumped up, for fear that someone would fight with them.
Yingsleeve looked up in the direction of the fat woman, and said lightly: "Since there is no one in her house, what are you?" Although she couldn't see her expression while wearing the curtain, everyone could feel that she was really angry.
"I ...... I'm a distant relative of hers! The Zhao Sanjia said with a strong inwardness, looking at Murong Changqing with his eyes, not knowing who this low-key but luxurious woman was wearing a curtain and dressing, and he didn't dare to be too tough.
"Distant relatives? Just now, I saw that you were beating and scolding, and you were going to sell her into the kiln, I thought you bought her human teeth. Yingsleeve sneered and sneered, his arm slid down, held the little girl's trembling hand, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, Jinxuan, your cousin and sister-in-law of the Xie family happened to come to Xingzhou today, and I will take you to meet them." ”
"Cousin and sister-in-law of the Xie family?!" Zhao Jinxuan was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he said cautiously: "Yes...... Is it the cousin and cousin-in-law of Prime Minister Xie Dacheng's family in the capital? ”
"It's nature." Ying Sleeve raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "So you know them?" Why don't you look for them? ”
Zhao Jinxuan pursed his mouth and lowered his head, "I...... I'm just a maid ......"
If her sister-in-law Zhao Jinqi suffered such a disaster, she would definitely go to the capital to find her uncle and cousin, but she had nothing to do with the Xie family, she just called Xie Chang her mother-in-law.
And her biological mother was her father's concubine who was cut first and then accepted, and she was not treated by her mother-in-law at the beginning, so she never thought of going to the capital to thank her family for supporting her.
Zhao San's family was able to find her in Xingzhou, and she was already very grateful.
At least they were, giving her a place to cover her head. Don't let her live on the streets.
Murong Changqing didn't expect that this girl was still a relative of the Xie family, so he couldn't help but glance at Yingsleeve, and his lips pursed even tighter.
Ying sleeves tightly pulled Zhao Jinxuan's hand. "Come with me to see your cousin and sister-in-law, and then go to the family to reason."
"Huh? You can't just take her away! I said in broad daylight, you ......" The fat woman hurriedly called out, but before she finished calling, Murong Changqing had already said coldly: "Okay, you will come to the general tomorrow to see the Hou Ye, what should I do." That's it. - Who is like you, who is going to sell people into the kiln in a good way? ”
"I ...... I was talking angry, how could it be...... How will it be sold? Zhao Sanjia's face stiffened with his smile. I knew that I had kicked the iron plate this time, but I had no choice but to watch Zhao Jinxuan follow Murong Changqing and the woman with the curtain away.
It's good to be on the street. So many people watched. Someone else recognized Murong Changqing, and this fat woman planned to go to the general tomorrow to ask for someone, and then coax Zhao Jinxuan well, as long as she was willing to go home with her.
No matter how good the Xie family is, what does it have to do with Zhao Jinxuan?
Who doesn't know that her mother-in-law Xie Chang had a big quarrel with the uncle of the Zhao family because of Zhao Jinxuan's biological mother and aunt, and almost became ill?
Zhao Sanjia pursed his lips and held the hand of his maid's mother-in-law. He turned around and went home.
Yingsleeve and Murong Changqing took Zhao Jinxuan to the inn to pack up their things first and left the room. Then take her back to the general's line.
"Sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, I saw a person on the street today, saying that he was the concubine of the Zhao family, that is, the person from my aunt's family......" Yingsleeve said what he saw on the street today.
Lu Ruilan and Ning Shumei still had dealings with the Zhao family back then, and when they heard this, they hurriedly said: "Then ask her to come in and have a look, I remember that my uncle did have a concubine, and when she came to Xingzhou to visit relatives, we also saw her." ”
"Huh? Have you seen it? That's great, in fact, I only met her occasionally on the street, and I saw her pitiful. But I don't know if it's true or not, and it's great that you know it. Ying Sleeve said calmly, while ordering someone to bring Zhao Jinxuan in.
Lu Ruilan and Ning Shumei saw a thin little girl slowly walking in, raised their heads at them, smiled reluctantly, and then blessed.
Lu Ruilan covered her mouth with her hands, screamed in a low voice, and said, "Oh my God! I haven't seen you in years, why haven't you changed at all? Haven't eaten in all these years? ”
Ning Shumei walked over and shook her hand, then pinched her shoulder, and said, "...... It seems that she really hasn't eaten, you see how thin she is......"
Zhao Jinxuan raised his head, saw Lu Ruilan and Ning Shumei, recognized it for a while, and then said, "The eldest cousin, the second cousin, I am Jinxuan." ”
It turned out that he also recognized Lu Ruilan and Ning Shumei.
Lu Ruilan and Ning Shumei didn't take Zhao Jinxuan to heart before, and even didn't want to see her.
But now that the Zhao family is dead, if Aunt Xie Chang had a spirit in the sky, she should not approve of them treating a poor child harshly.
Lu Ruilan took her hand, "Come, tell your cousins-in-law, what's going on?" ”
Zhao Jin announced that the two cousins-in-law were not cold and unfamiliar with her, and a glimmer of hope also rose.
But whoever wants to live will not give up any opportunity to change his fate.
She made up her mind and told her in advance about the encounter between Yingsleeve and Murong Changqing on the street today, thanked them for their help, and said in particular: "Thanks to this ...... Young grandmother, knowing that I am related to you, she brought me here to meet you. ”
Because after they returned to the general's line, they took off their sleeves and left, and when Zhao Jinxuan saw her dress, he knew that she should be a married woman, so he called her a young grandmother.
Lu Ruilan and Ning Shumei smiled and said, "This young grandmother is not someone else, she is your fifth cousin-in-law." ”
"Fifth cousin?" Zhao Jinxuan looked at Ying Sleeve suspiciously, thought for a while, raised his head suddenly, and said in surprise: "Is it ...... Isn't it the lady of Vice Minister Xie who looks up to Xie Lang the most?! ”
"Yes, Vice Minister Xie is your fifth cousin." Ning Shumei also came over and took her hand, "Look at your skinny, that family has eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall, and like this, you also want to take the Zhao family's property?!" ”
Ying Sleeve looked at this scene with a smile on the side, and said, "What the hell is, we have to wait for the fifth master to come back and decide." However, since the two sisters-in-law confirmed that she was the girl of the Zhao family, we naturally couldn't let others bully her. Otherwise, people really have no one in our Xie family. ”
Lu Ruilan and Ning Shumei understood what she meant.
Because Zhao Jinqi's experience is there, Yingsleeve also wants to be cautious. lest there be any further mistakes.
"Come on, take Miss Zhao to freshen up and change clothes, and eat something. In the evening I will go to your room to talk to you. Lu Ruilan called the maid over and led Zhao Jinxuan down.
After Zhao Jinxuan left, Ying Sleeve said: "It's also my trouble, but I saw her being beaten badly at that time, and I heard that it was related to my aunt, so I couldn't bear it." ”
"This girl is indeed the Zhao family, and she is also related to us. It's not that you're eventful. Of course, we understand your concerns. Zhao Jinqi's incident was too surprising, but. Just because of Zhao Jinqi, I think this Zhao Jinxuan will not be the same person. Lu Ruilan sat down in front of Yingsleeve. Tell her. "Of course, it's right to be cautious. We will take her back to the capital, put her in Zhuangzi first, and wait for the fifth brother to come back. ”
Yingsleeve said with a smile: "It's all up to my sister-in-law." ”
As soon as everyone was settled in the general's line, they heard that Murong Chen, the Marquis of Changxing, had sent someone to invite them out, saying that the crown prince Yuan Yingjia had come from the capital with the crown princess and wanted to personally welcome the coffin of the queen Qi Xueyun back to the south.
Yingsleeve, Lu Ruilan, and Ning Shumei hurried to greet the crown princess Tang Haijia.
Tang Haijia was dressed in plain white filial piety clothes and simple silverware, and nodded to them silently. raised his hand to let them get up, and without saying a word, he put incense on the spirit of Queen Qi Xueyun. And then it went out.
In the evening, Murong Chen held a banquet in the general's line to entertain the imperial grandson Yuan Yingjia and the crown princess who came from afar.
A large screen was placed in the flower hall of Xingyuan, which was divided into two halves, with women sitting on one side and men on the other.
The female relatives are headed by the crown princess Tang Haijia, and the male guests are of course headed by the imperial grandson Yuan Yingjia.
Yingsleeve sat silently next to Lu Ruilan, a little far away from the position of the crown princess Tang Haijia, and had already sat on the edge of the screen, which was relatively close to the male guest.
Everyone drank a few glasses of vegetarian wine, and then they heard the imperial grandson talking to Murong Chen, the Marquis of Changxing, and Murong Changqing.
Other people's voices were just that, but it didn't take long for someone to come in hurriedly and say to the emperor's grandson, Yuan Yingjia: "Your Highness, forgive your sins, Weichen is late." I punished myself with three cups! As he spoke, he raised his glass and drank it all.
The voice sounded familiar.
Ying Sleeve frowned, poured himself a cup of tea, and took it and tasted it slowly.
Listening to the other side of the screen, Murong Changqing said lightly: "Didn't Fourth Prince Lu come to Xingzhou with His Royal Highness?" Why did you arrive so late? ”
It turned out that the person who came was Lu Chengyuan.
The eyebrows of the sleeves moved slightly, and he listened intently to the voice over there.
I only heard Lu Chengyuan smile and said: "Originally, I came together, but I met a few old people on the way, and I met the old ones, so I was late, and I should be punished!" Penalties! ”
Just listening to the voice, you can tell that this person is in a very good mood.
The imperial grandson Yuan Yingjia couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and glanced at him, and said lightly: "Since it's late, sit down quickly, what are you talking about?" ”
Yuan Yingjia's mood must be very bad.
His only reliance is Empress Qi Xueyun, and she died like this, and the Emperor of Northern Qi has changed again, his current situation is really difficult, so he is definitely not in a good mood.
And Lu Chengyuan, as his person, actually laughed at such a time, which was really a bit excessive.
Yuan Yingjia snorted softly.
Lu Chengyuan knew that he shouldn't show joy, so he was busy vigilant against himself, and said: "It's Chengyuan Menglang, Your Highness forgives you." As he spoke, he knelt on one knee and gave Yuan Yingjia a big blow.
"Well, get up, give me a seat." Yuan Yingjia raised his hand and peeled off this layer.
Ying Sleeve looked at Lu Ruilan, who was eating snacks next to her, and said in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, this Lu Chengyuan is your mother's relative, right?" ”
"My second brother's son." Lu Ruilan glanced at Yingsleeve, "Don't pay attention to him, I have already cut off contact with his family." ”
Yingsleeve: "......" She actually wanted to take the opportunity to call Lu Chengyuan over for questioning, but Lu Ruilan said that she had cut off contact with Lu Chengyuan's family, and she couldn't say anything anymore.
Maybe it's just that she's overthinking......
However, after the banquet ended, Ying Sleeve followed Lu Ruilan and Ning Shumei back to the courtyard where she lived, and knew that she hadn't thought too much.
Because the two people she suspected had come to visit them in a grand manner.
"Sister? I heard that you and your sister-in-law and sister-in-law are also here, so I hurried over to see you. It was Fan Chunyun who spoke, and her face was still covered with a white scarf, but her complexion was much better than when she saw her in the ruined temple in the capital of Northern Qi a few days ago.
Ying Sleeve made a perfunctory sound, and his eyes fell on the cloud Zheng behind Fan Chunyun.
Strangely, this time, her jade bracelet didn't react at all, as if the scorching heat of the previous days was just something she had imagined.
Yingshou stroked the jade bracelet on his wrist, retracted his gaze, looked at Fan Chunyun, and said, "Didn't you go to the Northern Qi Kingdom?" Why is it still in Dongyuan Kingdom? ”
Fan Chunyun smiled bitterly, "Don't hide it from my sister, I really can't say anything this time." All in all, I'm nothing now, homeless, and I just want to go back to Dongyuan to live a good life. Fortunately, Lu Sigongzi took him in, so he gave our master and servant a way to live. ”
Sure enough, it was Lu Chengyuan......
Ying Sleeve smiled, "Fourth Prince Lu really has a heart. ”
While speaking, Lu Chengyuan had already caught up, and said with great concern to Fan Chunyun: "You are still injured, why are you running around?" Why don't you go back and rest? ”
Fan Chunyun looked at Lu Chengyuan with attachment, and said softly: "Fourth Prince Lu is serious, I heard that my sister is here, so I came to salute and say goodbye." As he spoke, he glanced at Yingsleeve again, and asked with a smile, "Did my brother-in-law come with my sister?" ”
Yingsleeve's gaze dimmed for a moment, but she quickly blinked, and said as usual: "The fifth master is still recuperating from his illness, so it is not suitable to travel." ”
"That's ......" Fan Chunyun nodded, "Then I'll go and rest." Take care, sister, don't worry too much. Brother-in-law Jiren has his own natural appearance, so he must be fine. ”
"I didn't say he was in trouble, don't curse him." Ying Sleeve was unhappy when he heard this, and said slightly, and watched the backs of Fan Chunyun, Yun Zheng and Lu Chengyuan disappear around the corner before he sank his face and turned around and walked back.
Lu Ruilan raised her eyebrows, walked with her, and said to Yingsleeve: "Don't be angry." It is absolutely impossible for Fan Chunyun to enter the Lu family. Last time, the Lu family almost removed Lu Chengyuan, and he didn't dare to toss anymore. ”
Ying Sleeve snorted, trying to order himself to look farther away and stop being limited to Fan Chunyun.
Anyway, Xia Fan has disappeared and is on the run, and Fan Chunyun has nothing to rely on.
The Lu family is absolutely impossible to rely on her.
As long as her internal injuries healed, she will do it.
The group stayed here for a few days, and when Murong Chen made preparations for Fuling to go south, they took the imperial grandson Yuan Yingjia and the crown princess Tang Haijia as the leaders, led by Xie Dongyi and Xie Dongming, and assisted by Lu Ruilan and Ning Shumei, and took the coffin of the queen Qi Xueyun south to the capital.
Returning to the capital, Emperor Yuan Hong held a grand funeral for the queen Qi Xueyun, and said that he would not stand again, and only promoted the former concubine to a concubine and took care of the six palaces.
Northern Qi Lizi has face, and he no longer keeps an eye on the movements of the royal family of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom.
Zhao Jinxuan also followed them from Xingzhou to the capital and lived in a Zhuangzi outside the city of the Xie family.
She has suffered a lot of losses in the past few years, and she has to make up for it.
Yingsleeve found a few medical women who knew medical skills to take care of Zhao Jinxuan in Zhuangzi, and went to accompany Shen Yule with all her heart.
Because in a few days, Shen Yule will get married.
