Chapter 103 The past is like smoke

"How's it going out there?"

Although he did not attend today, he still changed into new clothes and wore his hair in a high bun.

Narcissus said with a smile: "The eldest lady took the ladies and ladies of each province to the garden to enjoy the plum blossoms and taste the tea." Madam, the eldest lady is so beautiful today, the slave can't take her eyes off it. ”

"Where's the young master?" Cui's heart is proud.

"The young master followed the old man, and greeted the male guests with the eldest young master. By the way, madam, just now the people of Moxiang Courtyard went back and forth, and in the middle of the night last night, for some reason, the palace was reported to see the master. ”

Cui's heart was surprised: "What do you say?" When did the master come back and where did he rest? ”

Narcissus said: "I didn't say anything, the old man didn't come back until three o'clock, rested in the study, and someone said that the light in the master's study was on all night." ”

"Something must have happened! Ordered to go down, let Chen Ping and them take a closer look at the master's body, and wait for him. ”

"Yes, ma'am!"

……

In the cold winter, these elegant things such as enjoying plum blossoms and tasting tea are far better for Lin Xi than sleeping warmly in the bed. However, life is hard, and the maids have to wait for happy events in the house, so Lin Xi had to follow to the garden.

Today, the gardens of Gaofu are cleaned and clean, and even dead leaves are not common. In the cold wind, a piece of early plum or cold buds is waiting to be released, or competing for beauty, and the end is beautiful.

Ladies and ladies gather in groups of three or five, gathering in one place, or whispering under the plum, or holding a cup in the warm pavilion, purple and red, and the warblers and swallows add a lot of color to the depressed garden in winter.

The banquet was placed in the warm pavilion by the water Xie, and there were six tables for eight people, with a total of six tables, and a color of ten brocade enamel cups. A water of blue and white porcelain tableware on a white background, and the maids and servants are busy walking through it.

After three rounds of dishes, the drums are beaten, and the dressed actors take the stage to sing with their voices.

Lynsey blew the cold wind and smelled the wine. Listening to the babbling on the stage, his eyes fell on the old lady Wang who was dressed in an autumn-colored brocade gown.

The old lady was not very old, but she was old, and she sat on the upper seat, but there were not many relatives and friends to talk to her, and she was alone with a false smile. seems to be addicted to the appearance of the actor on the stage.

The girl of the Wang family on her side was wearing a scarlet jacket and a phoenix hairpin, and she was very rich. Lin Xi felt that Aunt Wang would be sixteen or seventeen years old, dressed up so old. The immature face was a little unbearable.

However, Aunt Wang felt very good about herself, her chin was raised, her eyebrows and eyes were upturned, and her expression was very pleasant, and she had completely forgotten the bitter howl of that night.

Lin Xi sneered in his heart.

The rich and noble Xiangfu, for the girl of the Wang family, may be her rich and gentle township, but for Lin Xi. It's just a cage.

There is only one year left in his five-year prison sentence. Lin Xi's heart tightened, and for no reason, he thought of the big guy he met a few days ago, and fell into deep thought.

Suddenly, I heard a commotion. Lin Xi raised his head blankly, and saw that at the entrance of the garden, Gao Xiangye and several young masters came around a white-faced man, the white-faced man was about fifty, slightly fat, and dressed as an attendant.

"Xiangye has arrived!"

A shout. All the women stood up to greet each other, and the eldest girl retreated behind the people.

As the greeter of today's inner house. Cui Shufang and Cui Shuyun glanced at each other. Bravely greeted him.

The white-faced waiter walked to the wide area of the warm pavilion, paused, and said sharply: "Cui Shufang, Cui Shuyun takes the order......"

Lin Xi's sharp eyes saw that the corners of Gao Xiangye's mouth behind the white-faced chamberlain sank slightly, and he was secretly shocked in his heart.

……

"Madam, it's not good, ma'am, ma'am, it's a big deal." A shrill voice with anxiety, from far and near.

The narcissus who was holding the medicine cup to feed the medicine shook his hand, and the medicine in the spoon rolled down on the brocade quilt, and disappeared in an instant.

Narcissus's face sank, and he scolded: "What are you yelling about, little hooves? Shocked Madame with medication, see how I clean you up! ”

Cui Shi straightened up and said busily: "Quick, say quickly, what's wrong?"

The little girl in the green jacket lifted the curtain, fell to her knees, and gasped: "Madam, Mother Liu asked me to bring a letter to Madame, someone from the palace just now, Xuan ...... announced the decree and ...... the two girls of the Cui family ...... all."

Cui Shi was shocked and asked, "How is it?" ”

"Both...... Married. ”

"What!"

Cui's eyes widened suddenly, staring at the people on the ground in disbelief, and said in a trembling voice: "Du...... To whom? ”

"Mrs. Hui, Mother Li is in a hurry, and the slave maid doesn't understand it very well, it seems that they are two six-grade petty officials who have been released."

"Wow!" With a bang, half of the medicine he had just drunk spit out. Cui's body was weak and slowly fell!

"Madame, ma'am!"

Narcissus was so frightened that she lost her face and hurriedly shouted: "Come on, go and ask the imperial doctor, Madame has fainted!" ”

……

Lao Cheng stood anxiously beside the carriage, his eyes staring at the purple palace gate without blinking, and after a long time, a familiar figure slowly walked out.

Lao Cheng hurriedly greeted him, walked up to Cui Rongxuan, and said in a low voice: "Master, is there something important?" ”

Cui Rongxuan glanced at him deeply: "Get in the car and talk about it." ”

The two got into the carriage one after another, and the carriage moved slowly.

Cui Rongxuan said in a low voice: "It's not a big deal, the emperor wants to invite the third brother to enter the court as an official and assist the prince." ”

"Master, this?"

Cui Rongxuan waved his hand and said: "The ancestor of the Cui family, all the descendants of the Cui family are not allowed to enter the court as officials, and I refused for the third brother." ”

"That's all?"

"That's all. By the way, I saw that the emperor's complexion was very bad, and by the way, he coughed for a long time, and he was very emaciated. ”

"It seems that those rumors in the palace are actually true."

"I saw it with my own eyes, and I realized that the rumor was a little lighter, but I was afraid that it was ......" Cui Rongxuan groaned and did not continue.

Lao Cheng hurriedly took out a letter from his arms: "Master, just now when I was waiting for you, a little beggar sent it and said that I would pass it on to the master." ”

Cui Rongxuan took the envelope, opened it and looked at it, but he was stunned.

Lao Cheng didn't know what to do, and hurriedly said: "Master, what's the matter?" ”

Cui Rongxuan didn't hear it, and after being silent for a long time, he handed the letter to Lao Cheng.

Lao Cheng Zhanxin, his sword eyebrows tightened: "It was he who ascended the throne!" Master, this person once worshipped the third master as a teacher. ”

Cui Rongxuan was cold and clear, and muttered: "You mean ......"

Lao Cheng sighed lightly. Before he could speak, the carriage suddenly shook and stopped, and before he could react, the curtain was opened violently. The person who came was Cui Jinchen's personal servant.

"Back to the master, the third young master asked me to report to the master, the two young ladies of the Cui Mansion were given marriage, and Mrs. Gao was in a hurry and fainted!"

Cui Rongxuan's face changed greatly, and he grabbed Lao Cheng's arm. Hurriedly: "It's not good, it's going to be bad!" ”

……

In a trance, Cui's seemed to hear the voice of his man's soft call, and seemed to have returned to the scene of the husband and wife eyebrows when they were newly married.

She stood in front of the man, and buttoned the buttons of the court dress for him one by one. The slightly loose hair brushed the man's handsome face, the corners of the man's mouth rose, and he smiled: "Lan'er's hair is really fragrant, I can't smell enough!" ”

She raised her eyes, the eyes of the husband and wife were entangled, and when they were in love, a woman came from nowhere. pushed her away, and Ruyu's face was cold.

"Cui Shulan, you are so ruthless. Harm my child, and you will have retribution! ”

Cui Shi was in a hurry, but he couldn't speak, and only looked at the man.

The man hugged the woman and sneered: "I'm afraid her retribution won't be light!" ”

Cui Shulan seemed to have a knife stuck straight into her heart, and it was painful. Snap your eyes away.

……

Gao Zecheng saw Cui's eyes open, stepped forward and said softly: "You're awake." Craving something? ”

Cui's eyes fell on the man, and his heart was desolate. It was a nightmare.

Gao Zecheng was a little flustered by her, wanted to turn his head, and felt that something was wrong, so he had to look at the woman in front of him.

"Xiangye...... Last night...... Entered the palace? ”

"The emperor summoned me and had to go."

"Ho...... Affair? ”

"It's okay, let me assist the prince!"

Cui Shi only felt cold all over.

There is such a coincidence in the world, he went to the palace last night, and today there is a holy decree for marriage in the palace. The two girls from the Cui family have to give marriage to the emperor himself, who has the ability?

The corners of Cui's mouth raised a sneer: "In the old man...... In my heart, I'm afraid it's ...... Don't want to marry Cui's woman! ”

Cui Shi coughed violently.

Gao Zecheng was silent for a while, and said truthfully: "Yes!" ”

"You're for her?" There was another long silence, and Gao Zecheng did not answer.

Cui's Wannian was afraid of ashes, soothed his heart, gritted his teeth and said, "All these years...... I gave birth to children for you, and I took care of the boudoir, all these years I have poured out my heart and lungs for the three girls, and I am single-minded, and you still refuse to forgive me? ”

Gao Zecheng looked at Cui's bloodless face, couldn't bear it, and sighed: "Shulan, I have ...... you"

"Gao Zecheng

Cui Shi didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and laughed at himself: You are so infatuated with her, have you ever thought that she is so tired that your brother will turn against her, and the eldest brother is still ......"

"Cui Shulan!"

Gao Zecheng called coldly: "What happened back then has nothing to do with her, it started because of me!" ”

Cui's Wannian was afraid of ashes: "In this way, that begonia is just used to anger me." ”

"Begonia is your maid, you trained her so well, isn't it to recommend yourself to the pillow?" Gao Zecheng sneered.

"Femdom? I ......" Cui's words stopped.

A good training, a good self-recommended pillow, Gao Zecheng, you and I have been married for many years, why do you have to make excuses.

……

Scenes of the past, one by one, floated in front of me. The bitter resentment, like an old wine, the more you swing it, the greater the stamina, if you don't drink it, you can burn your internal organs.

Gao Fu originally had two sons, the eldest son Gao Zeming, a concubine, and his biological mother was the maid of the old lady of the Gao family.

The second son, Gao Zecheng, is a descendant, and his biological mother is Ling, the daughter of Taifu.

The two sons are almost the same age, and the old man died early, and he was raised by Mrs. Ling, so the brotherhood is deep.

At the end of the summer of that year, Gao Zeming was imprisoned for fighting with others for a small family of women, causing a fuss. Originally, the old lady Gao was in a high position, and the lives of the people were not a problem, but the other party was an official eunuch, and he had a lot of power in the capital, and he must pay back the debts of people's lives.

Old lady Gao was helpless, and begged her father with her young son. Because at that time, the secretary of the criminal department was the same disciple of his father.

I still remember that year when she was naughty, hiding behind the curtain, only to hear a low and soft male voice slowly sounding, her heart moved, and she lifted the curtain to look. (To be continued)
