Chapter 15: Stealing into the Prime Minister's Mansion
When I came out of the prison, it was already late at night. When passing by Xiangguo's Mansion, Jinsu couldn't help but stop and look at it for a while.
The large lantern at the entrance is particularly dazzling in the night.
I vaguely saw two crooked people walking towards the door, and when one of them went to call the door, the other was sitting on the ground.
With a "squeak", the door opened.
"Hey, my little ancestor, it's back."
Isn't this the same grandmother who came back in Yi Chunfang today?
"Hey, ancestor, how much did you drink! If you let the master know, you will be scolded again. The old lady personally helped the person sitting on the ground, but she couldn't help her up twice, so she had to call a few people behind her.
"Are you all dead? Why don't you hurry up and help the young master in", and then pointed to the little guy who called the door just now, "You too, don't persuade it, how can you let the young master drink so much?" ”
"Drink~ Bring the wine, eh, drink~" turned his head and said with a smile, "Mama, I also drink~hehe~Drink~"
"Ouch, young master, you can be quiet, don't alarm the master, hurry up, help the young master go back to the shallow courtyard!"
As the group entered noisily, the door was closed again.
Jinsu suddenly became interested, looked around, and flew onto the roof.
"Master, what's wrong?" Bai Zhi immediately followed.
"I'm going to find out, you stay here!" As he spoke, Jin Su put on a black cloth mask and walked in the direction of the group just now.
Fortunately, she is also wearing a dark gray today, although it is not as convenient as the night clothes, but with her skills, it is still difficult to find in ordinary nursing homes.
"Qing'er, you're finally back. Oops, why do you drink so much? ”
Before entering the courtyard, a graceful and luxurious woman greeted her, and in the night, you can still see her shining headdress, it seems that this should be Mrs. Xiangfu, that is, the sister of Emperor Ji Wu - Princess Jinyan herself.
"Oh, Mother, hehe, Mother, why are you here? Lian Yu refuses to see me, are you satisfied?! Hehe......" smiled wryly and talked to Jin Yan, looking very sad.
"Alright, alright, let's go prepare a bowl of decanting soup." While instructing his subordinates, he beckoned his subordinates to help the young master into the house.
turned to the little guy who called the door with a cold face, "Guifu, where has the young master gone, and who has you drunk so much with?" ”
"Back to the princess, the young master went to Yi Chunfang at first, but he didn't find Miss Lianyu, and then he went to Chundan Building alone to drink, and no one called him."
"The decanting soup is here." The mother-in-law came in with a sobering soup and interrupted Princess Jinyan, who was about to continue questioning.
"Quick, feed the young master."
"Qing'er, rest after drinking, and my mother will come to see you tomorrow!"
Looking at the room full of maids and wives waiting for him, the princess of Jin Yan, who was finally relieved, was about to leave.
Jin Su hid in the big tree at the entrance of the shallow courtyard, and when she saw Jin Yan coming out, she clung to the trunk of the tree tightly, and even slowed down her breathing a lot, for fear of being discovered.
"I don't know what kind of fox kung fu that slut did, not only let Qing'er fight against my mother for her, but also let Lao Ba and Pinqu support her today, I'm really angry!"
"The princess doesn't have to take it to heart, the young master is young after all, and it is inevitable that he will be attracted by those fresh things outside."
"Humph! If it is a serious girl from an ordinary family, it doesn't hurt to marry back and be a concubine, but a Qinglou woman, I will never agree! ”
"Yes, such a person has entered the Prime Minister's Mansion, and others may not be able to tell us what to say about us in the future. But what do we do next? ”
"What to do? You can't just forget it, there is a way to deal with a woman in a green building! You go, get some silver, find a few big bosses, and get some flattering medicine, so that she can do her job well. If Qing'er doesn't give up, let's not do anything...... Hum! After saying that, both of them laughed sinisterly.
In the last two sentences, Jin Yan lowered her voice and said it in Mama Qin's ear, only because she was close and her hearing was good, so she could hear it clearly. Of course, if you hadn't heard it with your own ears, you wouldn't have dared to believe that the princess of a dignified country, in order to deal with a woman in a green house, would use such an indiscriminate method.
After Jin Yan left, Jin Sufei went to the roof. But before he had run a few steps, he heard a dog barking. In order not to be discovered, she jumped and climbed another dense tree.
It wasn't until the whole yard was quiet again that Jinsu noticed that she was on an acacia tree.
The courtyard under the tree seemed to be uninhabited, and it was pitch black without a trace of light.
Suddenly, the door of the small courtyard opened, and two figures crept in and gently closed the door.
The two of them put the dim lantern aside, and groped around the courtyard for a while, and then lit three incense sticks in a corner, and burned some paper money, as if they were worshipping someone.
"Ahem, ahem!" One of them covered his mouth and tried to suppress his cough.
The other person immediately patted her on the back and shouted in distress, "Mother, are you okay?" ”
"Don't get in the way, don't get in the way, cough cough cough~~"
"I'll just say, don't come, now that you're not well, it's the same if I come for you. Besides, your heart, the eldest lady must know that she has a spirit in heaven. ”
"How can that be the same? As long as I have a breath left, I should come or have to come. I couldn't stand their mother and daughter back then, if I had told your father earlier, maybe ......"
"Mother~, don't say it, it's not your fault. Even if my father knew about it, he couldn't get anything back. Now that my father is a noble minister, doesn't he listen to her everywhere? ”
After adding some more paper money, the woman continued, "Eldest lady, eldest lady, if you have a spirit in the sky, I will bless us Xia Yu to find a good family to marry as soon as possible, and get out of this desperate prime minister's mansion, so that I can come to be your companion with peace of mind." ”
"Mother~, what are you talking about?"
"Xia Yu, after all, my mother can't stand you, even if you are also a young lady in the Prime Minister's Mansion, you are not as good as a maid."
"Mother~ Don't say it. Let's burn it quickly and leave, it's not good if someone finds out about it. ”
"Oh oh" answered twice, and then added some paper money.
The little girl picked up a branch and turned over the paper money in the brazier, and the flames rubbed very high, and at once the two people below were clearly illuminated.
There are two mothers and daughters, the mother is about forty or older, and the daughter should be the same age as Bai Qi. They are all very thin, especially their mother, with skinny fingers and sunken eye sockets on their pale face, and they know at a glance that this is a woman who has been lingering on the sickbed for a long time.
"Lady, Miss, I used to come to burn paper for you every year today, but my body is getting worse and worse, and I'm afraid it will be difficult next year... Alas~ This year, I deliberately burned more, and you also saved some flowers, in case ......" Speaking of this, the woman was a little choked.
When the paper money was burned, the little girl helped her mother to the side and said, "Okay, mother, you can wait next to you first." He quickly poured water on the brazier and the unburned incense, and after confirming that there was no spark, he sprinkled some leaves on it.
"Alright, let's go back. Mother, slow down! The little girl helped her mother out of the yard slowly, and before leaving, she poked her head out to make sure that no one was there, and then closed the courtyard door again, and then left.
From the conversation between these two people, Jin Su also heard that the eldest lady and eldest lady in their mouths should be her and her mother. And they should be the ones who knew everything back then.
They secretly came to this dark and uninhabited courtyard to worship her and her mother, so ~~ This courtyard is where her mother used to live.
Thinking of this, Jin Su was a little excited, touched the trunk of the tree, and suddenly her eyes were full of light, this acacia flower - isn't it her mother's favorite before her death.
Now, she really wanted to see what this courtyard was like, and whether there were any books that her mother had read or played the piano in it. I really want to feel the bed and chair that her mother once slept on, maybe there is still a little smell.
At this moment, she made a decision, she was coming back!
