On that day, the Sun family came to the house, Sun Yihao's sister Sun Shaomin came to his boudoir to ask for embroidery, although the two were polite, but the tone was very estranged, and the tacit understanding did not mention the marriage of the two families, and picked some irrelevant topics and chattered. Shao Min was a lively, generous and calm girl, and she also seemed restless that day, and she suddenly said when the two of them got closer: "Sister Sakura, I think you and my brother are more compatible." ”

This sentence made Chu Sakura's heart feel numb, and there seemed to be many ants in her heart devouring herself, she pressed all the thoughts in her heart, and covered up: "This joke can't be made." ”

Shao Min was a little anxious, and said: "Sister Sakura, you are also the daughter of the Jiang family, and your reputation is famous, if you come to be my sister-in-law, I'm afraid my mother will be happier, as long as you open your mouth, I will speak for you in front of my mother......"

"No!" Hatsu Sakura subconsciously refused, this is too embarrassing, how to face her grandmother, face the sisters and elders in the family in the future.

Shao Min still persuaded: "Sister! I can see your brother's thoughts clearly, brother, he will not be happy with Chu Tao! My brother is as stubborn as a cow, I can't make sense of him at all, why are you so stupid! ”

Before Hatsuzakura could think of what to say, the conversation was interrupted by the arrival of Hatsukuha.

Hatsuju said, "What are you talking about so lively? She flipped through a few patterns, and suddenly an embroidery pressed at the bottom attracted her attention, which was a pair of beautiful mandarin ducks under the cherry blossoms, and the pattern itself was nothing special, and a special poem was written on it.

Hatsuzakura hurriedly walked over and covered the embroidery with something, but Hatsuzakura pretended not to see anything, and said coquettishly: "I haven't seen what words you embroidered yet, let me see it!" ”

This is a hidden poem embroidered by Chu Ying when she has nothing to do, hiding Sun Yihao's name, I originally wanted to quietly throw it away, but I didn't want to forget it. Hatsu Sakura said: "It's nothing, it's fun to write by yourself, and it's not good to write." ”

After Shao Min and Chu Ju left, Chu Ying sat in a daze for a long time, Shao Min's words still lingered in her mind, she chose face between face and marriage, and chose self-esteem. She suddenly broke out and began to cry bitterly.

From that day on, she began to sleep all night long, and eventually fell ill, and she thought she knew the cause of her illness, probably a heart disease. Now that Chu Tao and Sun Yihao's marriage has been decided, he has gradually let go, since he has chosen his face, he must whitewash it to the end.

Thinking back, Hatsuzakura smiled a little shyly.

Liu Shi then remembered the business and said: "Yuxin's wedding dress has been styled, and tomorrow I will pick an auspicious time and ask the embroidery lady to measure her size." ”

"It's the one she likes, right?" Cao asked.

Liu smiled and said: "Of course yes, that set is still left over from the wedding of the ancestors, the fabric is so good, the palace does not necessarily have such materials!" The ancestor directly brought it over to our Cheng Jin's daughter-in-law to wear, which shows that the ancestor really feels sorry for Cheng Jin. ”

Cao said: "I have to thank you for this, if you hadn't mentioned the ancestor and this pressed box goods, you really couldn't have come up with such a beautiful wedding dress for a while." ”

Chu Sakura took over and said: "Sister-in-law, I've seen it, it's really not worse than everyone's ladies, she has an excellent temperament, and she has endless things to talk to about, and I can have one more playmate when I enter the door." ”

Cao nodded her dotingly and said, "Silly child, although she married in, you will marry out soon." After saying that, Cao and Liu laughed together, and their smile full of happiness is probably only known to mothers.

It is said that Dongyi and Xiyi are originally one family, but one family was split into two due to royal disputes, Mr. Zhu commented on this: "The major events in the world must be divided for a long time, and this is the norm." ”

Many people who are geographically close to each other are not as clear as the royal family, anyway, the emperors of the two dynasties are not all surnamed Xue! As long as there is no war, it has nothing to do with their common people, so compared with the tense royal families of Dongyi and Xiyi, the people who divide the river and rule get along more happily - why is it too anxious to fry each other from the same root.

The massacre of Qinghezhuang is unusual. Qinghezhuang is a village belonging to Xinyang on the edge of Dongyi, because of the influence of Hui merchants, half of the people in this village are doing business abroad, with the geographical advantage, Qinghezhuang's business is also prosperous, this time it was slaughtered full of a Zhaojia village under Qinghezhuang.

The people of the Criminal Department and Dali Temple moved very quickly, and quickly figured out the basic situation of this village. There are a total of thirteen families in this village, all surnamed Zhao, all of whom are honest farmers, and there is nothing unusual about it, the only one who misbehaves is called Zhao Tieniu, who likes to steal chickens and touch dogs, and was served by the patriarch in family law, and then disappeared, and the whole village does not know his whereabouts, that is to say, this Zhao Tieniu is likely to be the only survivor of this village.

After checking around, there is no possibility of this village making enemies with others at all, so it is very likely that this massacre was not committed by the enemy.

If it wasn't done by the Dongyi people, the Xiyi people wouldn't be able to escape the involvement.

The recent atmosphere of the autumn trial office is very dignified, Zhaojia Village belongs to the garrison of the three kings, although the border friction between the two Koreas is not small for many years, but in the final analysis, it is still the concession of interests between the royal family, and it has nothing to do with the people, last month the three kings went to the southwest along the border to inspect, this small village not far from Jinling had such a tragedy, although the emperor did not punish the three kings on the surface, but secretly exerted a lot of pressure on the criminal department and the Dali Temple, moreover, The prince also intentionally or unintentionally interrogated in this case.

It is well known that the three princes are not favored, so what the emperor cares about is not whether the three kings have guarded the village well, but is worried that something will go wrong on Xiyi's side. After all, Xiyi's proton has been in Dongyi for a long time, Xiyi does not dare to act rashly, even if he is dissatisfied with Dongyi, he does not dare to kill so many people, and in the past two years, Emperor Xiyi's health has been poor, and many things have been represented by Prime Minister Gu Zhongtang, and it is difficult to say whether this massacre was committed by his own family or Xiyi.

So the Criminal Department and the Dali Temple Shilang, who had a good personal relationship with Jiang Liangzheng, secretly found Jiang Liangzheng, who inherited the title of Duke of Chengguo, and asked him to help judge it. Jiang Liangzheng touched his beard and thought for a long time and said: "Look at the wounds of these people, neat and neat, so many people died in the same time period, obviously it was not done by one person, but a well-trained team." ”

At present, the only survivor in the village, Zhao Tieniu, cannot be found, and there are no witnesses who can give clues, and the case has reached a dead end.

The crown prince Xue Ziye seemed to be very interested in this matter, not only asked many times, but also came to the scene of the crime to inquire in person, he said: "No matter who did it, the dereliction of duty of the three kings is a certainty." ”

The Criminal Department and the Dali Temple squire have been mixed in the officialdom for a long time, and the answer is naturally leaky: "The emperor wants the ministers to investigate the case, and then decide everything when everything is settled." ”

The prince smiled: "That's natural, I'm waiting for the good news from adults." ”

Chu Tao also heard about this matter here in Xue Congjia, she thought that her relationship with Xue Congjia had improved by leaps and bounds, no matter what, she used that unintentional kiss to threaten Xue Congjia from time to time, as long as Xue Congjia was a little cold to her, Chu Tao said that he had tarnished his innocence and refused to be responsible, so that Xue Congjia took a knife in front of him several times and was ready to apologize for his crimes.

So the relationship between the two does seem to be much closer, at least in the eyes of outsiders.

Xiaohong sighed with emotion every day, sure enough, the hero is sad to pass the beauty pass.

Xiao Zi said, "Alas, poor Sun Gongzi. ”

Chu Tao ate seven or eight grapes in a row, and asked Xue Congjia puzzled: "It is rumored that Zhao Tieniu killed the Manmen of Zhaojia Village, and now the city is full of portraits of Zhao Tieniu, why do you say Zhao Tieniu did this?" ”

Xue Congjia took the rest of the grapes farther away, if Chu Tao continued to eat like this, he would have burst his stomach, he said: "It is said that Zhao Tieniu was only punished for petty theft, if he has a grudge against the whole village because of this trivial matter, and even hates him so much that he wants to slaughter the whole village, even his parents can't let go, it is a little unreasonable." ”

Chu Tao bared his teeth and grinned: "What can't be said, people's hearts are sinister, I think he did it!" As he spoke, he peeled a grape and sent it to Xue Congjia's mouth, which was so crooked. Xiao Hong and Xiao Zi, who were guarding the door, suddenly got goosebumps.

Xue Congjia's head turned away, quietly avoided the grapes sent by Chu Tao, and said seriously: "This case is full of clues. ”

Chu Tao raised her head vigilantly and whispered, "Have you found a clue?" ”

"Perhaps." Xue Congjia asked.

Chu Tao sniffed and said, "It's a pity that you are not from the Criminal Department or Dali Temple, otherwise you will definitely be able to make meritorious contributions." ”

Before Xue Congjia could answer, Xiaohong coughed a few times outside the door and signaled that someone was coming. The person who came was Xi Le, she hadn't been here for some days, and gave the two a lot of time to get along, listening to Xiaohong, Xi Le recently fell in love with a jade master, and the two of them were like glue for a long time, Chu Tao secretly thought, Xi Le will probably raise a lot of noodles like the eldest princess in the future.

What Xiaohong said is true, Xile did fall in love with a jade master again, and her long-suppressed emotions in Xue Congjia were finally alleviated, but after a few days she was tired again, so she wanted to tease Xue Congjia a few times when she turned around, which has become her only persistent pleasure in the past seventeen years.

Xile saw the little red and purple at the door and knew that Chu Tao was also here, so she snorted coldly, a few days ago she also made a bet with her brother Xue Ziwen, saying that Chu Tao, this little girl, must be obsessed with Xue Congjia, Xue Ziwen waved his hand and said, How can you see it.

Xile said that she and her cat ran to the Qizhu Pavilion all day long, and they were really not ashamed.

Xue Ziwen said, no, she is just a little girl who doesn't understand anything, and I always watch her walk around Xue Zicheng.

Xile gritted his teeth and said that our girls' instincts are always accurate.

Jiang Chutao, a girl who didn't know anything, was half-kneeling on the bamboo mat, grinding like that, looking like a cold iris pestle, Xile always felt that she was familiar, and now she suddenly reacted, she and her cold beauty aunt Concubine Zhen looked exactly the same.

Xue Congjia sat opposite each other and practiced calligraphy, and the fragrance of roses burned between the two, making the faces of the two very soft, revealing the feeling of quiet years.
