Chapter 124: Nightmare

It can be seen that this thing was not done by some unknown Jiang Yang thief.

Xie Shuning's heart was in a mess.

The Chen family, who died under whose hands?

……

At the same time, the Chen family in the Begonia Courtyard was also in a mess, and he was even more panicked and uneasy than Xie Shuning. Although she has lived in the Xie family since she was a child and grew up with the deceased three old ladies, no matter how she counts, she is still the daughter of the Chen family and a member of the Chen family.

Today, the Chen family is almost dead.

How should the remaining three children be placed?

Over the years, the Chen family has been at odds with each other, and with the death of the third old lady, things have become more and more out of control. Chen Wanyuan is a good gambler, and he only fights cocks and walks birds on weekdays, which is a very unseemly role, let alone supporting the portal. Over the years, the Chen family's reputation outside has not been very good.

Now that such a tragedy has occurred, there is no one to help.

Looking at it, it has to look at the relatives of the Xie family.

Chen secretly thought, just afraid that in the near future, Changfang would come forward to take care of the three children. When she thought of this, she was terrified. Why are they all dead and have these three children alive? I don't know what others think of her, but she just thinks it's ominous. She didn't want the three children to be taken to the Xie family.

Thinking about it, Chen couldn't help but think of his heir, Xie Chenlai, and couldn't help but regret it.

At the beginning, she was pregnant with Xie Shumin, and quietly looked for someone, Xie Chen's eight-character defeat her, and she was afraid that she would not be able to give birth to a son if she was not careful.

She was hesitant, not convinced. But then there was a matter of returning lychees, so she couldn't help but believe it, and it didn't take long for the third old lady to make the decision, find a reason, and temporarily send Xie Chen out.

As a result, it was a few years.

He's going to study. I simply invited a gentleman to go with him, taught him lessons in Zhuangzi, and only came back once a year on the New Year's Day.

The child's temperament was not very pleasant when she was around, so as soon as he left the house, she didn't remember him much.

Who knew that last year, the Song family took him back and stayed in the house.

Chen secretly gritted his teeth, unable to guess what Song was thinking.

She grew up with the third old lady and never did anything unfavorable to herself. I couldn't understand Song's thoughts.

In the middle of the night, she thought about it, but still felt that she lacked a son. Without the third old lady and no son, will she really die of old age in the Begonia Courtyard in this life? Aunt Winter can think about it. She couldn't think of it!

It was about to dawn before she fell asleep.

In the Xiaoxiang Pavilion. Xie Shuning at this time. But he was already starting to get up.

Her mother got the news of the palace banquet from Princess Huihe Ji Tongying, and Ji Tongying sent her into the palace one day earlier to accompany her.

Of course, Xie Shuning couldn't refuse.

So today, it's time for her to enter the palace.

In Yong'an Palace, her bedroom should have been cleaned up early.

If she was late, Ji Tongying would definitely pull her hair and scold her for a while.

Xie Shuning had to get up early in the morning to make up. I went to the Jade Tea Courtyard to ask Xie Yuanmao, who was recuperating quietly.

Xie Yuanmao's illness is actually not very serious, and he lies there every day, just drinking tea and reading books, and his life is very comfortable. Xie Shuning smiled and said a few words to him. I also listened to him put on the appearance of his father and advised, "When you go to the palace, remember to act respectfully and gently, and don't make mistakes." ”

"Yes, the daughter remembers her father's teachings." Xie Shuning replied to his words half perfunctorily.

It's not the first time she has entered the palace, these words, don't say it, she also knows the way.

Seeing the Song family, the Song family didn't mention anything, only left her to eat, and only said when she sent her out: "The matter over there in the academy has been settled, and my mother thinks that when it is autumn, I will send your fourth brother and Yi'er together." ”

"Chongxi Academy's side actually went down?" When Xie Shuning heard this, she blurted out in surprise.

Jiangnan Chongxi is the first academy in Xiyue.

The Yanling Bai clan has produced many elders, and most of their children are studying in this academy.

It can be seen that it is not easy to go to school.

Xie Shuning knew that the Song family was planning for Xie Yi's schoolwork, but he didn't expect that the other side would really respond.

The level of her brother, she knows very well in her heart, don't say Chongxi Academy, even the gentleman in the mansion evaluates him year by year.

Although he is still young, his mind is not on schoolwork, and where will he grow.

According to his homework, he would never be able to enter the academy.

She frowned.

I heard my mother say casually, "The house of the college is a little old, so I decided to fund the renovation of the college." ”

How much silver is this?

Xie Shuning couldn't help but gasp slightly.

I want to tell my mother that my brother doesn't like to study, and maybe he may find another way to plan his future, but when the words come to his mouth, he doesn't know where to start.

People like them, if they don't take a serious career, what future can they have?

Do you want to go to business?

Naturally, this is not possible!

Xie Shuning swallowed the words again, turned around and got into the carriage, and waved goodbye to the Song family for the time being.

Because they can meet tomorrow, Song is not worried, and sends people away with a smile.

When she returned to the Jade Tea Courtyard, she began to choose the clothes to wear when she entered the palace tomorrow with Gui's mother.

The queen has not yet married, and now the princess is still in charge of the palace. This palace banquet is also a continuation of the spring banquet of the Duanwang Mansion in the past.

There were accidents in Kyoto one after another, and Emperor Sufang naturally wanted to win over the hearts of the people and consolidate his position.

The draft is one of them, and the banquet for foreign women and officials is the second.

From ancient times to the present, the world is full of men. The chess game of the people, and the women, is the chess in their hands.

Therefore, this palace banquet is not easy.

Song couldn't help but sigh: "Niangniang's life is becoming more and more difficult. ”

"It's ......" Gui's mother echoed, and in an instant, she brought up the words on the side, "Madam, I'm afraid there is no place to use people in Haitang Courtyard now, can that girl be transferred out first?" ”

Previously, Xie Shuning brought Xie Shumin out, but he didn't mention Lunong, and still left people in the Begonia Courtyard.

Song Shi glanced at her when he heard this, and asked, "According to your meaning, where should I transfer it?" ”

Of course, this should be transferred back to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and this is not Yuebai's time to leave the pavilion. Xie Shuning is short of manpower.

But this, Gui's mother thought in her heart, but she didn't dare to say it clearly, and after thinking about it, she just said: "The slave knows the character of that girl, and I just want to take her with me to discipline her, so that I can continue to stay by the young lady's side and serve in the future." ”

She thought she had said it very well, and it was very appropriate.

But he didn't want the Song family to hear it, so he only shook his head and said: "Aman, I'll just look at it, and she also came to mention it to me, waiting for Yuebai to get married." And he brought up two from the second class. ”

The implication is that among the four big girls, there is no green one.

Gui's mother was stunned.

"If you don't want her to stay in Haitang Courtyard, then transfer it to Ruixiang Courtyard as usual." Song leaned over and picked up an eggplant purple summer shirt, looked at it and frowned and threw it back into the box.

Gui's mother is crazy. Only after half a sound did he say thank you.

After all the things in the house were ordered, the Song family asked people to pack up their things. Lie down on the couch and take a nap.

The mat under him was cool and cool. And the wind blew in through the half-open window, and the people were slightly drunk. Soon, Song fell asleep.

She hadn't dreamed for a long time, but this time she had a long dream.

In my dream, there was snow.

The goose feather snow fell non-stop, dyeing the heavens and the earth white. She hugged the white fat Aman. The son, who looked the same serious, said softly, "What do you do with a straight face at a young age, laugh quickly......"

Yi'er grinned.

She stared blankly, but a thought came to her mind. How can I have a rigid and calm temperament when I am young, but I don't even want to read books when I grow up.

Before she could come up with a reason, the picture changed, and she knelt in Shou'an Hall.

Shou'an Hall had obviously been burned to the ground, and the three old ladies were also burned to dry bones.

But isn't the person looking at her condescendingly in front of her the third old lady?

Someone was talking, but she couldn't hear clearly.

It's like watching a play, she saw that she became a concubine, decaying day by day, and fell ill. Ah Man's temperament was obedient and disobedient, and he caused trouble and was sent to the grange. Yi'er was a small one, her body was cold in front of her, she vomited blood, gasping heavily and dying......

"Mrs., Mrs. ......"

There seemed to be someone calling in his ears, and Song woke up screaming.

Covered in cold sweat, she grabbed the thin blanket on her body, trembling all over.

"What's wrong with you, ma'am?" Gui's mother on the side leaned down to ask her, and when she saw the sweat on her head, she hurriedly ordered someone to fetch water.

Song backhanded, grabbed her wrist and grabbed it tightly.

Warm.

The sound of her breathing gradually calmed down.

"Qinggui, pour a glass of water." Song reached out and wiped the sweat from his forehead, and commanded softly.

Mother Gui turned around and poured water, served her to drink, and then hurriedly said, "Madam, my uncle's letter is here!" ”

"Cough, cough, cough ......" Song choked hard when he heard this, and coughed again and again, "Where is it?" ”

It was clearly said that it was time to enter the summer, but now that people have not appeared, the letter has come, and it is so strange.

Gui's mother took out the letter and handed it to her, and took the tea cup with half a cup of tea left.

After opening the letter and quickly sweeping a few lines, Song finally laughed happily, like a child, and said, "My brother has arrived in Kyoto, and now he is resting in the inn!" ”

But after saying that, she felt that something was wrong again.

Since you came, why didn't you go directly to Xie's house, how did you live in the inn?

She looked down again and read the letter carefully.

The letter said that there were two other people with him, and it was inconvenient to bring them directly into Xie's house, and he would come to the door when the people were properly placed first.

Song sighed.

She resealed the letter, let Gui's mother put it in the small box specially for the letter, and said, "Brother doesn't know when he will come, I will enter the palace early tomorrow morning, and it will be dark when I come back." If my brother comes tomorrow, I'm afraid I won't be able to welcome him personally. After thinking about it, she said, "You have people go and pack up everything, and my brother's favorite dishes are also written and sent to the kitchen, whether they come or not, they are ready first." ”

Gui's mother responded one by one.

Later, Gui's mother asked her, "Are you just having a nightmare?" ”

Song had palpitations and waved his hand reluctant to mention it. (To be continued......)
