Chapter 0171: Gravedigging Circle Garden
Gege naturally guessed what was on her mind, nodded and followed her to the inner room. He Jinyi asked Gege to take a seat, and bent down to salute. Gege hurriedly helped him and said, "Sister, don't salute." ”
He Jinyi got up and said: "Jinyi doesn't know the depths, and it is really presumptuous to call her sister in front of Gege." ”
Gege said: "What did my sister say? You are still my sister, Ruoqing is still your sister, what does it have to do with Gege's identity? With that, he took He Jinyi's hand and sat down side by side. Gege knew what she was going to ask, but she didn't know what to say, just waiting to see how Jinyi spoke.
I saw He Jinyi hanging his head, twisting the hem of his clothes with both hands, and stopped talking. After being silent for a moment, Gege asked, "What did my sister say when she called me?" To tell the truth, sister, after eating this bowl of wine, Ruoqing is about to leave Mengjin. I don't know when I will be able to see my sister again, so Tete arranged the banquet here, but I wanted to say goodbye to my sister. ”
He Jinyi raised his head abruptly and asked, "What's wrong with him?" ”
Gege asked rhetorically, "Which one?" ”
He Jinyi's hard-earned courage retracted, and he bowed his head again and replied, "Yi Ying, Brother Yi." ”
Gege replied at this time: "It turned out to be him." Ruoqing doesn't know where he went? I didn't ask where I was going when I was leaving, and it was in vain to ask. My sister should also want to open some, those things like him are nothing more than rushing around, where is there any fixed location? My sister married Mr. Su, I think it's good. If you follow him, won't you be a lifelong wanderer? ”
He Jinyi cried: "I lost him, sister, I have nothing to say, I just hope that he can have a good landing." But now. He did such a thing, and the emperor would never spare him. At such a young age, what should I do? ”
Speaking of which. Gege is also very sad, and he knows the future future, which is always bleak. But as the saying goes, each has a destiny, or this is the destiny of the individual. The two of them were silent for a while, and then Gege said, "Sister, don't think so much. In fact, this life is very short, and it is to live a good life in front of you. As for tomorrow's events, it was arranged by God, or something unexpected happened in a moment. Or maybe there will be a disaster overnight, and we will obey the destiny of heaven and do our best. ”
He Jinyi wiped her tears with a handkerchief, turned her face and smiled: "My sister is right, she is worthy of being a royal character, she is more sensible than me, a tofu girl, and can understand it." ”
The curtain was lifted, and Hongcui walked in quickly, seeing the two holding hands. smiled: "I said what are you two doing?" It's not dark yet, and you want to go to a cave again? "Before, it was because the two of them were talking in the cave room and were robbed by Yi Ying, and at this time, Hongcui used this to entertain again.
He Jinyi said with a smile: "Sister Hongcui has a mouth. How can we two women have a hole? ”
Hongcui smiled and said, "Look at Sister Jinyi, I don't understand." Why can't two women have a cave room? Two men can cave the house, so two women can naturally also cave the house. ”
Although He Jinyi is married, he still doesn't know much about this kind of thing. Puzzled and asked, "Then I don't understand, how did they cave the house?" ”
Seeing that the more they talked, the more outrageous they became. Gege hurriedly stopped: "Hongcui, don't talk nonsense!" I'm saying goodbye to my sister. We're well fed and drunk, and it's time for us to hit the road. ”
Hongcui stopped the topic and said, "Say goodbye?" Gege doesn't often talk about it, where do you not meet in life? When my sister is free, can I go to Jingshi to play with us? I took my sister to go around the Bada Hutong, what kind of men, men, women and caves and the like, Sister Hongcui Zhunbao understood for a long time. ”
He Jinyi also smiled: "Hongcui is worthy of being Hongcui, and we will be relieved in three or two sentences." ”
After gossiping, Hongcui said to Gege: "It's over outside, and they're waiting for Xiao Gege." It's not too late, so it's just right to set off from the town and go to Luoyang to rest and sleep. ”
Gege got up and said, "Okay, let's go." He Jinyi hurriedly stood up. Gege stopped and said, "Sister doesn't have to go out, let's say goodbye here." If there is a chance, my sister must go to Jingshi to find my sister to live for a few days. ”
He Jinyi couldn't stop the tears from flowing down again, and cried: "If there is a chance, my sister will definitely go!" ”
Coming out of the inner room, Gege saw that Dark Xiang had already packed up, and a crowd waited in the courtyard for her to speak. Zhu Baoqiang approached and asked, "When will Qing Gege leave?" Xia Guan chatted about preparing some rituals. Don't misunderstand, Xia Guan doesn't mean anything else, it's just some of our native products from Henan. Qing Gege brought it back to Jingshi, gave some to his subordinates, and tasted it. ”
Gege was about to excuse himself, but Randie also said: "Gege, there is really nothing, we have all checked, just some jujubes, apples, sweet potato noodles or something." ”
It would be hypocritical to shirk too much, so Gege nodded and said to Zhu Baoqiang: "Then Ruoqing will accept it." ”
Su Lin dragged a burden in his hand and said, "Su Lao'er has nothing to give, Jinyi made an embroidered skirt, and Qing Gege must bring it." ”
Before Gege could answer, Hongcui took it over for her, and said dissatisfiedly: "Why is it just one, there is no Hongcui without me?" ”
Su Lin hurriedly smiled: "How can there be no Hongcui girl?" There is also a Qingluo shirt inside, which is actually for the Hongcui girl, and the girl is invited to smile. ”
Hongcui quickly said, "Okay, okay, we'll accept them all." ”
Before leaving, he said a few words of goodbye, and Gege and his party left the Su family. Along the way, Xiaoxing stayed overnight, looking at the scenery along the way, there were red green, chaotic butterflies, and Luo Qingsong laughing, but it was not lonely. Three or five days later, they returned to Beijing. Gege went to the palace again to ask for peace and describe Yi Ying's situation. Fortunately, she interceded, and with 600,000 silver recovered, she finally saved the face of the imperial court, and Qianlong did not continue to deal with it strictly, but issued a decree, and officials along the way tracked down Yi Ying's whereabouts, and he was bound to be arrested and brought to Beijing.
In the Yuan archway of Xishankou, Yuan Laohan and Yuan Laotai are eating. The room where they ate was very simple, only three rooms in size. One was used as a kitchen, one as a hall, and the other as a bedroom. Mrs. Yuan brought a pot of stew, nothing more than radish and cabbage, and then brought two bowls of rice. Old Man Yuan and Mrs. Yuan each sat in a corner of the table to eat.
The two had just eaten half a bowl of rice when they heard a commotion outside. Outside, only people shouted, "Lift, lift it all." ”
Then I heard the sound of something falling to the ground, crackling for a while. Yuan Laohan knew that something was wrong, so he hurriedly stood up and was about to rush out. Mrs. Yuan was worried that the old man would suffer a loss when he went out, and was about to stop him, but the old man had already rushed out of the house angrily. The old lady was busy and went out with her.
In the courtyard, a middle-aged man in his thirties led a group of small servants to push the water tank in the courtyard to the ground, and the water flowed all over the courtyard. The hoes and brooms in the corners of the walls were all in the middle of the yard, and the hens were running out of the coops and cooing all over the yard. Seeing this, Yuan Laohan was so angry that his face turned white, his beard was blown high, and he asked angrily, "Liu Ergou, what do you want?" ”
The man in his thirties was Liu Ergou, he stood in the courtyard with his waist crossed and waved his hand, and said to the old man: "Who gave you a shameless face?" Toast and don't eat and drink, our lord told you that you want to buy this land, who told you not to sell it? If you don't sell it, we'll smash it all for you. ”
Yuan Laohan said angrily: "Lang Lang Qiankun, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, you dare to commit such a murderous act? If the old man doesn't sell it, you still have to force it to buy? ”
Liu Ergou laughed and said, "I think Old Man Yuan, are you stupid or your brain is caught by the door?" Who is our grandfather? The son of the dignified military department Shangshu. It's not that the second dog boasts, my lord stomps his feet at home, and the city of Beijing has to vibrate. Buying such a piece of land of yours is to force you to buy what can you do? Besides, it's not good, my lord forcibly bought your land and it was cheaper for you, but he forcibly occupied your land, what can you do? ”
Yuan Laohan was so angry that his hands trembled, pointed at Liu Ergou and said, "You, do you really have no royal law?" You should also know that what you bought is not an ordinary piece of land, it is a cemetery, and who are the people lying in it? ”
Liu Ergou said again: "Of course I know who is lying inside, everyone has been chopped up, what are you still guarding the cemetery for?" I can tell you, old man Yuan, I don't care who is lying in the cemetery, even if Emperor Chongzhen is buried in it, I have to move it out to make room for my lord. I won't say anything else, I'll give you seven days to move out quickly. After seven days, don't blame Liu Ergou for being ruthless, leveling the cemetery, lifting the yard, and enclosing it into my lord's back garden. ”
Yuan Laohan stepped forward angrily, and raised his fist to beat Liu Ergou. After all, Liu Ergou was young and strong, and with just one push, he pushed the old man to the ground, slammed his head on the hoe handle, and blood oozed from the back of his head. Seeing that the old man was pushed down, Mrs. Yuan hurriedly rushed over to help the old man up and asked, "Old man, what's wrong with you?" We can't fight them, so if we can't, let's give them to them. ”
Yuan Laohan said stubbornly: "I won't give it to them if I die." I'm going to the capital to sue the royal court, suing your lord for contempt for the king's law, is there still a conscience in this world? ”
Liu Ergou said: "You go, you go." I don't know how thick the old guy is, what about the royal state? The soldiers of the world before yesterday were all in the hands of my master, and he still sued the emperor? Look who can take down my lord! He waved his hand and said, "Let's go, that's all for today." Seven days later, we came again, lifted the yard, and dug the cemetery. So saying, he walked away.
The old lady greedily picked up Yuan Laohan and walked into the house, crying and persuading the old man: "Now it is their world, and our family has been guarding this cemetery for a hundred years, and we are worthy of the superintendent." Now, they are going to rob them, how can we ordinary people fight with them? ”
Yuan Laohan struggled and said: "The superintendent has been loyal and righteous all his life, and the world doesn't know it, don't we know?" The conscience of heaven and earth, I am desperate for this old life, and I am determined to keep the cemetery of the overseer. Old woman, you are watching at home, I will go to the capital to sue the emperor! After that, he got up, and regardless of the old woman's obstruction, took some loose silver, and went straight to the capital. (To be continued......)
