Chapter 8 The Organ is Heavy
Luo Lantian is also an orphan. She was raised by her master.
"Let me tell you the truth, my master is a first-class jade maker in this world!" She told me with a proud face.
"Making jade? Isn't this jade all naturally grown and then artificially polished? I was a little confused, so I interrupted her.
"Ahem...... This jade-making, naturally there is a knowledge of jade-making, ordinary people can't learn it, my master's jade, so far, no one can distinguish it from natural jade! ”
"Oh," I realized, "it turned out to be a fake jade!" ”
Luo Lantian was anxious when he heard this: "Where is there so much natural jade in this world, my master has made a lot of effort from dyeing and polishing the original stone, and then imitating the shape and texture sold by the merchants!" Isn't it difficult to buy their jade, and isn't it convenient for more people that my master has created these Duoduo? ”
"Then you touched other people's jade in the store during the day, and it turned out to be ......," I looked suddenly enlightened.
She bowed her head and said no more. Somewhat frustrated.
"My name is Jinse. I want to make a deal with you, how about it? ”
She stared at me, puzzled.
"I have some fine jade here, and I originally sold them when I was short of money for a while. But now that I meet you, I have a long-term plan......"
Before I finished speaking, Luo Lantian hurriedly said, "Do you want to provide us with a source of jade, and then extract and share?" ”
I said, "You're really smart!" It seems that I didn't choose the wrong person. I paced slowly to her, "However, this supply may not be available for a long time, so I will keep the existing supply with you, and you will keep the equivalent silver for me first." In the future, I will share in the jade you make. ”
Luo Lantian thought for a while: "Sister Jinse, it's really calculating. It's just that I don't understand, you will soon be the wife of the Shilang Mansion, although your status is not as good as that of the prince and noble, but the degree of food and clothing is definitely not a problem, why bother to do such a thing of money? Her eyes flickered and blinked, crystal clear in the hazy moonlight, inexplicably reassuring.
I just smiled. How do I know? In my heart, there is an indescribable confusion, Mu Zixiao's snub in recent days, the strange performance of Hua Nian, and the troubled times, I am alone in this world, and there must be some mundane things.
When Luo Lantian left, the moon had risen high in the sky. crooked, like who's laughing. It's ridicule.
I didn't feel sleepy, so I walked slowly up the road. The night breeze was slightly cool, and I began to slowly sort out the people I had met and the things I had done in recent days.
From Ning Yuan to Kyoto, the inexplicable help of the Night Shadow King, Mu Zixiao's welcome and coldness, Hua Nian's excessive enthusiasm, and the sudden appearance of King Ning Yuan...... My life seems to be stepping into another world, an unknown world that is different from the regular life of Fulan Yuan. And I can't figure it out, and I can't understand it.
Before you know it, you will come to the lotus pond, which is the largest water feature in Kyoto, and on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, young men and girls come to put lotus lanterns and pray for a happy marriage. At this time, a little lotus leaf has grown in the lotus pond. The lotus leaves float, and the wanderer has no head, like my current state.
"Sister Yu, you taught me an embroidery maid and taught me housework to look at the accounts, but you didn't teach me how to face such a complicated life!" On this moonlit night, I couldn't help but blurt out.
On the day of parting, Sister Yu's words came to mind: "You are also like me...... I hope you don't ...... like me."
If I knew it would be so hard to come to Kyoto, would I still be so oblivious? And Yuan Qing, how is he now?
"When a person encounters difficulties, if he always thinks about asking others for help, isn't that the life of someone else?" It was as low as the howling wind in the night sky, and a voice sounded in my ears so imperceptibly.
I was so startled that I almost cried out. It's the Night King!
He was still dressed in black and had a black blindfold. The cloak fluttered softly in the wind. When did he appear? How long has it been since then?
Seeing me staring at him, he turned his head, as if to glance at me, and then turned to look at the little lotus leaves in the lotus pond.
"You...... Night Ghost King...... Why are you here? "After all, it's a legendary character, and he helped me inexplicably, which makes me a little dumbfounded.
"Hmph." He just made a soft voice that was akin to disdain, as if my question was ridiculous.
I couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. It's such an elusive person.
"Do you know that someone is trying to harm you?" He finally spoke.
"I'm a weak woman with no power or power, what do I do?"
"Of course I want you to die."
This...... Brother Tai is really not shocking.
"What?" He asked rhetorically.
"Ah, nothing," I hurriedly waved my hand, "I just want to know, who wants me to die?" ”
"No comment." He seemed a little impatient.
"So- you're going to tell me this?" I'm confused, and I come to tell me that someone is trying to harm me, but don't tell me who it is, isn't that the same as not saying it!
"Anyway, don't go out on the streets lately."
Go shopping? My heart shook. Could it be......
Seeing that I looked down and frowned in thought, the Night King turned to leave, and I didn't have time to think about it, so I immediately grabbed his cloak, and the night breeze gently brushed my cheeks with his cloak.
At this moment, a familiar smell penetrated the tip of his nose: "Night Shadow King, are you really King Ningyuan's person?" "Seriously, I don't believe that such an arrogant person would be subservient to others. But if not, what reason does he have to help me if he is such a powerful figure? Is it just because I'm good-looking? How can it be?
"Hmph." And so it is again!
He shook off my hand and flew up the wall not far away. He turned to me and said, "Remember, don't go out on the street. Otherwise, I won't save you! ”
His figure disappeared into the darkness of the night. Just like when he came out of nowhere.
I put my hand in front of my nose and sniffed carefully, it was the smell of the cloak of the Night King, and it was also the smell of the acacia flowers in the Fulan Garden. It was a very light taste, but it was the most familiar smell to me.
He should have gone to Fulan Garden and met King Ning Yuan. However, what did King Ning Yuan do when he went to Fulan Yuan?
Back in the bedroom, it was already light. I only took a short nap for a while, and Zizhu called me outside the door to eat. In order not to make people suspicious, I still got up with force, simply freshened up, and went to the front hall.
Hua Nian was already waiting with a smile, but Mu Zixiao was not there. I met Hua Nian with each other, and she told me that Mu Zixiao has been busy with official business in the study recently. She quipped: "Zi Xiao must want to make time for your Spring Festival!" ”
I knew it wasn't, but there was no jealousy in her tone, and for a moment I even wondered if she really loved Mu Zixiao.
After breakfast, she still sent the maid to accompany me to buy things for the wedding: "My sister's family is gone, and I will naturally have to handle these dowries." If I had heard this a few days ago, I would have been moved to tears.
I still smiled and promised. Holding her hand tightly, he said something of thanks.
It's not that I didn't listen to the advice of the Night King, it's just that I want to give it a try, one last time.
On the second day, on the third day, it was business as usual.
It's just that at night, when everyone in the house is asleep, I will put the jade jewelry I bought during the day under the big willow tree outside the courtyard wall. Luo Lantian will take it by himself.
May 18. There are still two days left before my wedding date with Mu Zixiao.
When I came out of the shop, a woman in her fifties suddenly rushed out of the spur, unkempt, and hugged my legs and cried as soon as she came out.
While crying, he shouted loudly: "It's you, it's you, you woman with a heart like a femme fatale, you give my son back ......"
This cry immediately attracted many onlookers.
From this mother-in-law's intermittent accusations, I probably knew that I had "seduced" her two sons at the same time for a certain plot of her family wealth, so that both sons had lost their money and wives for me, and finally I instigated the two to compete in martial arts, and both of them died.
I stood still, my heart was cold, it turned out that this was the trap that Hua Nian had set for me. I don't know how to let her plan come here.
Seeing that I didn't make a sound, the woman cried even more, and she was about to crash into the stone lion on the side.
Before I could move, Lu Ying rushed over and grabbed her, and said hatefully: "Why is your mother-in-law spewing blood, our second lady has been living in the mansion, how can I seduce your son?" ”
The mother-in-law sneered: "The girl's words are wrong, are you, the 'second lady', born in your mansion?" I advise you to tell your master that you should take good care of the property in the house, and don't be picked up by the fox spirit! ”
There was an uproar among the people, and some people began to throw leaves at me......
The green warbler immediately stood in front of me, waving her arms and shouting to stop.
I looked at the chubby figure of the green warbler, and her size was just up to the base of my ear. In this house, it turns out that not everyone is calculating. Anyway, I believe that the green warbler is kind, because I need to trust someone so much.
I turned to rush out of the crowd, but the woman grabbed me by the arm, still crying. I had to use my other hand to try to push her away, but I didn't expect this push to change my life.
"Boom!" The woman suddenly fell backwards, dark red blood flowing from the corners of her lips, unconscious.
The sun is dazzling.
The world suddenly fell silent, and it was a long time before someone tried her snort.
"Dead man, dead man!"
"The vixen has killed someone!"
I don't know who said it, but the greatest anger in the world can't be worth the anger of everyone, because that anger is unconscious.
Immediately, someone came and dragged me to see the official, and many people rushed up. The green warbler tried hard to hold the men, but to no avail. She called out to me through the crowd, and I turned around and smiled gratefully at her.
Murder pays for life. It turned out that this was Hua Nian's plan. Not only did she discredit me, she wanted me dead.
But why exactly? Is it because of Mu Zixiao? However, he obviously didn't want to marry me!
Jin Se, Jin Se, for so many years, you have studied the heavens and read history, but you can't read this person's heart......
