Chapter 474, Childe is amorous
Cheng Ziyu thinks she knows Mingjing very well, and in her opinion, Mingjing is a noble son who is a little willful and arrogant but soft-hearted. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
used to pester him every day, but he was bored, and then he listened to his biological mother's strategy and was obedient everywhere, but he kept telling him all kinds of pity and grievances, but he treated her much better.
Mingjing did pity her at the beginning, and although the two families were not officially married, they already had a verbal appointment, but later everything happened, and Mingjing was not enthusiastic, so she did not make a formal decision, but her relationship with the Xie family is always much closer than that of other families, and she can no longer find anything to rely on except the Xie family.
She also knew that she had been humiliated and ruined, and she had no face to mention any marriage contract at all, Mingjing had already married the person she wanted to marry Zhou Changsheng, she was pure and immaculate like a flower before, and she didn't touch his heart, but now it's not even more impossible.
She just wants to ask for his help and protection, Mingjing is a kind and soft-hearted person, she will not watch him suffer, even if she is a concubine and a girl for him, she will admit it, as long as Mingjing is still willing to want her, not to mention that the old lady has a good heart, she must not ignore her.
Zhou Changsheng was lucky to marry Mingjing as a palace slave, what qualifications does she have to be jealous? What's more, he doesn't want to fight with her for anything, and he is not qualified to fight with others now, he just wants something that he can get.
Later, after the news of Princess Dexiao spread, she was surprised and jealous and envious, she really didn't expect that things in the world would be so unpredictable, that poor palace slave village aunt was actually the eldest daughter of King Huai'an, the first person in the Tang Dynasty, and she also had a life-saving grace for the emperor.
I was also secretly glad that she was good at acting at the beginning, and she didn't offend this princess of virtue and filial piety, if she made a stalk from it, it is estimated that the old lady would not dare to take her in, let alone explain the net, and she hesitated for a while not knowing whether she should come to the door.
After hesitating for a long time, it gradually came to winter, and the days of making money by washing and sewing people were very unbearable, she couldn't stand it, if she didn't catch the Xie family again, she would one day become a private prostitute, and there was no possibility of turning over, she had to try it with a cheeky face.
She didn't go directly to the old lady, and she didn't dare to go to Princess Dexiao, thinking that the most hopeful thing for the entire Xie family should be Mingjing, but she learned that Mingjing went to Yunzhou.
Once she made up her mind, she always paid attention to inquiring, and as soon as Mingjing came back, she immediately came to the door, but who knew that Mingjing didn't recognize her at all.
The more Cheng Ziyu spoke, the more sad she became, and Mingjing was silent for a long time after listening, but she was really sympathetic in her heart.
After being pardoned from the prison, what he heard the most was the tragic fate of those princes and Qi Wang's henchmen, the most pitiful of which was the innocent women and children, the old and weak, the daughter of the daughter was in the church and leaned on the door to laugh, the famous ladies remarried the pawns of the peddlers, and some were begging on the streets for a living.
He never thought of taking the initiative to find Cheng Ziyu's whereabouts, but she had already come to the door for help, and the situation was so pitiful, but he couldn't ignore it, he and Changsheng were not the kind of people who were cold-hearted, so it was a big deal to send her to the old lady so that she could have a stable life in the future.
But thinking of Cheng Ziyu's previous entanglement, and Changsheng might misunderstand him because of this, Mingjing still held back, and finally got rid of Douhuang, and he was worried that she would hide in the dark to make a yin move, or suddenly come out to bite someone, he didn't want to cause other trouble.
I felt that it was better to go back and discuss with Changsheng, it was a big deal to give Cheng Ziyu some property and let her fend for herself, so she was silent for a while.
Cheng Ziyu could see that Mingjing really sympathized with her, but she didn't say anything to help her, and she was immediately shocked, and she was suddenly sad and afraid.
Thinking of those widowers and idlers who came to the door from time to time, thinking of the old and decrepit prostitutes in the courtyard, and thinking of the humiliation of being forced by her mother to sell herself to the soldiers in Mobei in order to get food and clothing for her life.
She shook her head bitterly, if she let go of this last straw, she would fall to that point soon.
Kneeling down with a flutter in his heart, he raised his head and was very pitiful with tears in his eyes: "Cousin, I am already a broken flower and a willow, do I still have the face to mention family affairs again?" My cousin is now rich and full of beautiful wives by his side, what qualifications can I have? Who in the world can compete for the princess?
It's just that I want to ask the Xie family for shelter or two, Princess Dexiao is the most kind and generous, she won't even be able to tolerate me, a poor person, I have no other way to live except the Xie family, I just want to be a slave to my cousin and the princess, even if I send me to my aunt's side to be a girl! ”
Mingjing was still very suspicious of her intentions, and thought that she had not been tempted when she was like a flower, so would she still be tempted now? In the face of a stalker and an official name, Douhuang himself has not broken his skills, are you still afraid of a Cheng Ziyu?
She looks really pitiful, no matter how much she doesn't care about her conscience, even if Changsheng knows it, she will feel that she has no sympathy. He untied his purse and handed it over: "These are some silver bills, you take the flowers first, I will go back and discuss with the princess, and you will wait for me here after breakfast tomorrow." ”
Although Cheng Ziyu was unwilling, she didn't dare to make a mistake, so she had to go back first, the purse was heavy, and it was enough for her to spend a few years, and she wanted to put some clothes and dress up a little but was reluctant, and the more miserable she looked, the more she could arouse the sympathy of others.
After Mingjing returned home, Changsheng felt sorry for him and ran around as soon as he came back from Yunzhou on a cold day, sent someone to serve him to bathe in fragrant soup, and prepared a table of hot soup and hot rice according to his preferences, and several dishes were made by her own hands, which was really considerate.
Mingjing looked a little unnatural, and said with some embarrassment: "Don't be in a hurry to treat your husband first, I still have one more thing to say......"
Changsheng raised his long eyebrows and stared at Mingjing with wide eyes: "Oh? Did the colt do something wrong? If you want to get through the house pet maid or something, or get involved in some romantic lawsuit and want me to be accommodating, I advise you to put out this thought as soon as possible!
This princess is the first person in the world to be jealous, and she is the least calculating, and she can't even tolerate a single sand in her eyes! Don't say that I let you admit people into the door, even if I know that you have misdeeds, we will also break off each other! ”
The custom handed down from the previous dynasty, in order to show respect for the royal family, the concubine is not allowed to take concubines, is it a child born to a lowly concubine and maid, should not be brothers and sisters with the royal blood? Moreover, he is also the grandson of the emperor and the queen, and it is absolutely inadmissible to call the emperor his grandfather according to etiquette.
But in this era when three wives and four concubines have become a custom, it seems that it is too unfair to the concubine to guard only one woman, in order to neutralize this contradiction, if the princess is not jealous, the concubine secretly accepts a few pet maids or raises the outer room is still allowed, but they can only be girls for a lifetime, and must not be promoted to aunts, let alone give birth to heirs.
Unless the princess herself does not give birth and cannot bear to cut off her husband's incense, she will borrow her womb to give birth to a child to keep her mother's child, and only a more virtuous princess is willing to do this.
Therefore, most of the high-ranking families in Beijing do not let the eldest son or the son of the princess who is particularly promising, generally the second son of the princess who is not very promising or the young son of the princess who is not high or low, and then leads a five-grade concubine to the idle position, and enjoys the ready-made glory and wealth for a lifetime.
Mingjing hated when he heard this, gritted his teeth and said, "I have no conscience, how do I swear by curses on weekdays?" I haven't heard me know what's going on, so I'm guessing here, if it weren't for the fact that you were pregnant, I would have to let you beg for mercy every night! ”
Of course, Changsheng knew that he didn't dare to make a mistake, but he refused to give in, and sneered: "Since you haven't been a thief, why do you look like you're weak-hearted?" It can be seen that it is not a good thing! ”
Mingjing was helpless, so he told the ins and outs of the matter one by one.
Changsheng also sighed again and again after hearing this, although he didn't like to be Ziyu, he was still very sympathetic when he heard that a girl had fallen to such a situation, exactly the same as Zihu back then, and even more miserable than Zihu. And Cheng Ziyu must have more humiliating and unbearable things that he doesn't want to say, and Changsheng can't bear to let it go.
She naturally believes that Mingjing will not be innocent with Cheng Ziyu, as Mingjing said, she was not tempted when she was like a flower and jade, and now that her wife is rich and noble, Cheng Ziyu has fallen into the dust and become a broken flower and willow, how can she be tempted?
Mingjing is the same as her, at most, she just wants to help her and help her live a better life. But if she is a little nicer, she will be as stubborn as Douhuang, how about it, she did this back then.
Seeing Changsheng's hesitation, Mingjing understood that she was both sympathetic and a little taboo like herself, and said helplessly: "Actually, Cheng Ziyu's experience is also very pitiful, don't hide it from the lady, I really sympathize with her and want to help her, but if she is the same as Douhuang, wouldn't it lead the wolf into the room?"
I haven't found a bean yellow yet, and I'm already worried, because I don't believe that she is so good at giving up, for fear that she will do something to hurt you, and another one will become Ziyu, won't I ask for my own suffering? ”
Changsheng saw that he was sincere, so he accepted the idea of sarcasm and teasing, thought about it and said: "I have an idea, which can not only try out the character of Cheng Ziyu, but also make Xie Mingqing and his wife have a gap, I don't know what you think?" ”
Mingjing was stunned for a moment, and instantly understood.
The current situation of the husband and wife in the Ming and Qing dynasties is a harmony that has not been seen for many years, what do they have to do with Xie Chengzhong, the former housekeeper of the Jinyang General's Mansion, but they have not found out until now, although the Ming and Qing dynasties met with Xie Chengzhong every once in a while, Lin Xinhui occasionally went, but still did not dare to startle the snake.
Granny Lu and Bai Mei are examples, a moment of negligence made them die easily, but they can no longer know the truth, and now the only one who may know the truth is Xie Chengzhong, maybe Ming Qing and Lin Xinhui also know a little bit.
This fact is related to the real reason for Lin Xinyihua's untimely death, if it is not found out, don't say that Che is unwilling, even Mingjing is unwilling, let alone immortal.
Find clues unless they have infighting. In the past, when Cheng Ziyu lived in Xie Mansion, Ming and Qing Dynasty looked at her with a clear eye, but maybe the old lady had warned her in advance, and he also knew that Cheng Ziyu was the identity of a young lady from an official family, and it was impossible to commit himself to being a concubine, so he didn't dare to act rashly.
Now that Cheng Ziyu has fallen to this, not to mention the identity of the official lady, the old lady who was a concubine in the Ming and Qing dynasties may dislike her for not being innocent, such a big piece of fat hanging in front of the eyes of the Ming and Qing dynasties, can he keep to himself? Cheng Ziyu is the best touchstone, not only to try others, but also to herself.
Of course, if Cheng Ziyu is as she said herself, and no longer willing to be disgusting, Changsheng doesn't mind helping her get out of trouble, she is still young, everything can start again, and the Ming and Qing dynasties will find another way to deal with it.
After breakfast the next day, Mingjing came to yesterday's restaurant as promised, Cheng Ziyu was already waiting at the door, still wearing the same clothes as yesterday, but his expression was no longer so frightened and pitiful, and he seemed relieved to see Mingjing: "Cousin, I'm so worried that you won't come again." ”
Mingjing's expression was calm: "How is it possible, even if I don't want to come, the princess won't allow it, she is very sympathetic to you, and has repeatedly asked me to properly settle you."
The princess said, although she is a princess, she does not dare to take her cousin as a slave, and now she is pregnant, and it is not convenient to take her cousin to the princess's mansion. ”
Cheng Ziyu was stunned, Mingjing and Zhou Changsheng made her clear, for fear that she would be entangled, and sighed in her heart, looking at Mingjing's cold and cold expression, there was no trace of affection, and it seemed that there was no possibility with him.
She has suffered a lot, but she has also become aware of the times, and feels that being able to return to the old lady can be regarded as half of the goal, at least she will not have to live a hard life in the future.
immediately responded: "My cousin and the princess are righteous, my cousin is grateful, everything is subject to my cousin's arrangement, and I will definitely do my filial piety by the old lady's side in the future." ”
Mingjing's expression eased for a moment, thinking that Cheng Ziyu had suffered so much, maybe he really became sensible.
Immediately said: "The old lady is soft-hearted, I don't know how sad to see you like this, I'm worried that she can't stand it when she's old, it's better for you to take care of it in the capital first, and then go to the old lady's side when she is almost recovered."
The Xie family has been to the capital courtyard several times before, and now it is the property of the princess's mansion, and there is still a sign of the Xie mansion, where are you going to settle it temporarily. You go back to tidy up your things first, and when you're done, go straight over, I'll go and explain now, after you find the door, someone will take care of you, you can live where you can live with peace of mind, and I will send you to the old lady's side when the time comes. ”
Then he took out a purse: "This is a silver ticket of two hundred taels from the princess, saying that my cousin suffered before, and the girl's family should be dressed up beautifully, this is your private room."
The princess also wants me to explain to you, don't mention the sins you suffered in the future, don't mention it again, if you say that you are still innocent and impossible, if others ask about your experience, they will say that after you arrived in Mobei, you were sold by your mother to a merchant in Jinyang as a concubine, and after the merchant died, you were dismissed by his wife, because there were no relatives and no reason in Jinyang, so you returned to the capital to join relatives and friends, and the rest should not be told to people again, you know? ”
Cheng Ziyu responded again and again, but Mingjing didn't confess, and she didn't want to tell others about her most humiliating and unbearable things, she forcibly humiliated Mingjing, just in exchange for his sympathy.
In her heart, she became more and more envious and hateful of Changsheng, the top wealth, her husband who was devoted to her, and was about to have her own children, what was there to be dissatisfied with a woman to the point where she came?
Pinching the purse in her hand, she is still a little grateful, this is the most and easiest income she has come to in recent years, with this is not to go to the Xie family, she no longer has to worry about life.
But the wealth of the Xie family is about to be restored, Mingjing and Zhou Changsheng don't dislike her, and the old lady has some pity for her, why should she give up such a good backer? (To be continued.) )
