Volume 1 Chapter 27 Pathetic
The sound of ......the wooden fish in Qingshou Temple is neither fast nor slow, but there is no sign of stopping.
Yao Guangxiao closed his eyes and held the Buddha beads in his hand, pinched them one by one, and after a while, he suddenly opened his eyes and said: "The child who died in the Yanwang Mansion really had the same symptoms as when the prince was seriously ill in Beijing?" ”
Yuan Heng, who was sitting on the futon next to him, had a square face and gray hair, and said, "The symptoms are the same...... The child in the palace was poisoned by eating the Junying grass by mistake, and the people in the palace had pulled out all the Junying grass a few days ago to prevent anyone from eating it by mistake. ”
Yuan Hui pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Do you want to play King Yan in this matter?" ”
"Slow!" Yao Guangxiao's eyes were still closed, he said a word and didn't say anything, he counted the Buddhist beads for a long time, his lips still moved slightly, but he didn't read it.
At this time, Yao Guangxiao finally spoke again: "Da Xu, you come in." ”
A slightly younger monk lifted the straw curtain and walked in with a bowed bow.
Yao Guangxiao gave a look, and the monk named Daxu said to Yuan Jue: "The poor monk was ordered to go to Jingshi, meet a certain nobleman, heard about the king of Gaoyang County harming people's lives, and by the way, found out some small strange contradictions in the matter......"
The monk paused slightly, took two steps forward, and whispered a call in Yuan Hui's ear.
Yuan Jue listened for a while, first thoughtfully, and then suddenly realized.
Yao Guangxiao glanced at him: "Mr. Yuan finds an opportunity to meet Miss Nadu, which is very useful." ”
Yuan Jue nodded in agreement.
Yao Guangxiao saw that he seemed to be a little suspicious, so he said: "There is no long-term worry, there must be near-term worry." We have talked about what kind of person King Gao Yang is before, maybe there is a deviation. Besides, that day, Lao Qu was in the Yanwang Mansion and accidentally had a grudge with him...... It doesn't matter, the old man is at odds with him in the first place. At this time, the opportunity is very good, why not seize the opportunity and take precautions first? ”
Yuan Jue said: "The master is reasonable. ”
…… Du Qianrui can cook, but she can't sew clothes, and the little female red craft she learned when she was a child can't be on the table or make good clothes.
Zhu Gaoxu gave her some silk, and she picked out two horses, so she called Wang Gui's godson Cao Fu to help her drive out to find a tailor. Recently, Cao Fu was wandering in the front hall, and he happened to be stopped by Du Qianrui.
They drove to Xiejie, where there was the best tailor shop in Beiping. Du Qianrui picked one and asked Cao Fu to wait outside, so she went in with silk.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the gatehouse, an old Fang Shi came out, blocked in front of Du Qianrui, and said with a fist: "Miss Du, can you take a step to speak?" ”
Du Qianrui was taken aback, looked at him and said, "Who are you?" ”
Fang Shi said: "Miss Du is a prisoner, she dares to come out and walk around so soon?" ”
Du Qianrui was even more surprised and wanted to turn around and leave.
Unexpectedly, Fang Shi said again: "A Qin prisoner is a Qin criminal, but don't be afraid." If your life experience is known to the nobles, will they still protect you? ”
After a few words, Du Qianrui couldn't take a step, her hands trembled without obeying, and cold sweat soaked out of her forehead.
"This way, please." Fang Shidao.
Du Qianrui was at a loss for a while, everything she saw seemed to have lost its color, and she followed Fang Shi in. There was a courtyard in the hall, and some of the women in the house were busy with their work. Fang Shi walked to the corner of the wall and stood still.
"What do you want to say?" Du Qianrui asked in a trembling voice.
"Pathetic!" Fang Shi stared at her and shook his head, two words came out of his mouth.
When Du Qianrui heard these two words, her heart was sour, and she almost lost her temper on the spot and cried.
Fang Shi's small eyes observed her, and continued: "The girl's life experience is not her own, but someone else's, right?" Thou art jealous of others, and thou shalt be rescued from the pathetic and lowly deeds of the beloved. It's a pity that your situation is just as sad, but your life experience is not the same and worthy of pity.
When you meet that noble person who chooses you three times, and thinks that there is a play, you will draw a scoop in the same way, and apply other people's life experiences to yourself. What's more, he deliberately provoked Ambassador Xu so that he could fall for the trick and torture you very pitifully. Did you run out of scheming and finally get your wish? ”
Du Qianrui kept shaking her head and said, "I don't want Ambassador Xu to die!" He had already done bad things, and I thought it would be okay to let him suffer a little grievance. I didn't expect things to turn out like they were......"
Fang Shi sneered: "Let's think about it, what will happen to that noble man if he knows that you have been calculating him, and let him commit human life and be imprisoned, and he almost didn't escape?"
Even if he suddenly stops being violent and spares your life, then a random person takes a list and sends you to the government, what will happen next? ”
Du Qianrui stretched out her hand and pressed her heart, her face turned cold: "What do you want?" ”
Fang Shidao: "You have to tell the old man, what have you seen in Jingshi, what has the noble man done?" Then, you have to stay with that noble man, and you have to tell us anything in the future. As long as you do these two things, the old man will keep you fine, and he will think of settling everything for you. ”
Du Qianrui said coldly: "I didn't see anything!" ”
Fang Shi's face showed a fierce light, "It's better to think clearly!" Did the noble man poison his eldest brother with Jun Ying Grass? When and with what medicine will be used to detoxify the poison? ”
Du Qianrui's body trembled, and she opened her mouth, but she couldn't say anything.
A scene came to her mind, in the light of the night fire, a familiar deep voice said: You don't know, can you?
The various words spoken by that voice came to her mind and lingered in her body.
…… If I sit idly by and let Miss Du hurt her fingers, how will I listen to you play the pipa in the future...... Whether I can forgive you for your sins, I don't count, you have to ask this girl...... Just this meticulous approach, the time and patience that took me, I tasted the overflowing heart......
"I don't know!" Du Qianrui said with a crying voice, almost shouting.
She said to take the road and leave, Fang Shi chased a few steps, and said, "Miss Du, don't worry, think clearly, and then tell the old man." ”
"I don't know! I don't know if I'm dead! Du Qianrui lifted her skirt and said as she walked quickly.
She ran out of the shop and saw Cao Fu standing next to the carriage, so she said, "I saw a few ready-to-wear clothes, this shop is not good, let's go." ”
Cao Fu sat in front, flicked his whip, and turned around and said, "Miss Du, where are we going now?" ”
Du Qianrui said: "Go home, don't do it." ”
Back at the county king's mansion, after Zhu Gaoxu and Wang Gui went out, it seemed that they hadn't come back yet, and Du Qianrui was suddenly afraid of seeing him. The smile on her face was completely gone, and she had a miserable white face, and she met Aunt Wang in the front hall.
Aunt Wang tilted her head, looked at it without any scruples, and asked, "Miss Du, are you sick?" ”
Du Qianrui had always been kind to people in the house before, and she was careful to please everyone, but at this time, she lost her patience and said coldly: "I'm a little uncomfortable." ”
She walked into the side room where she lived, slammed the door shut, went straight to the bed, buried her face in the quilt, and cried in a suppressed voice.
Lamentable! The word stabbed like a knife into her heart with precision. It's not that she hasn't been scolded before, but she hasn't really been scolded to the sore spot, and she won't feel it at all.
The more Du Qianrui thought about it, the more she felt that she was really pathetic. shamelessly fabricated a life experience, but in fact, there is nothing to sigh and regret, it is nothing more than the most inconspicuous one among a large group of teachers and sisters. She even felt that she didn't even have a reason to live in this world.
I remember when I was in Fuller Paradise, Du Qianrui often gave her some old clothes that she didn't wear because she pitied a servant, but the maid said behind her back: I wore Du Qianrui's clothes, which are more beautiful than her...... At that time, Du Qianrui scolded her as "pathetic". As a result, now, Du Qianrui herself has "dressed" on someone else's life experience, which is even more pathetic than that maid!
Du Qianrui's whole soul seemed to be sucked away all at once, and she felt that the sky had fallen.
complained that he was smart, but he didn't expect to meet a prince, and he didn't want to get involved in murder and such a complicated conspiracy.
It's really over now, and I can't even go back to the Jiaofang Division to continue my cheap business, and I have become a prisoner!
After crying for a long time, Du Qianrui got up from the bed and looked at her red and swollen eyes in the bronze mirror. She didn't cry anymore, anyway, since she was a child, she has never been good, she was either sold or insulted, and today is not the first time she feels like such a jerk, so she quickly recovered from her collapsed emotions.
After thinking about it, Du Qianrui felt that it was wise to leave Beiping quickly and find a place to hide while there was no incident at this time. She has nowhere to go, it seems that she can only go back to her hometown, that poor and remote village, and the list of Jingshi will not be reached...... I have to think about how to go back to Jiangxi.
Otherwise, where can you go?
At this moment, Aunt Wang "banged" the door a few times, and said outside the door: "Miss Du, the prince and Wang Gui are back!" You go and tell Wang Gui so that he can get you some medicine. ”
"Howler!" Du Qianrui responded in a casual tone.
She opened the door, buried her head in her head, didn't want people to see her swollen eyes, went straight to the kitchen, boiled water herself, and applied a hot towel to make the swollen area disappear faster.
At this moment, she looked at the various ingredients in the kitchen, and suddenly thought: she still has a personal skill, making dim sum, and she has never let the prince taste the dim sum she made...... This time, he may never be able to taste it again.
So Du Qianrui took the apron and put it around, rolled up her sleeves again, took a bowl and scooped glutinous rice first, and skillfully worked in the kitchen.
She worked with a heavy heart, and after a while, she was lucky: what if the priest didn't complain? Or does the prince forgive himself and not blame the past?
Du Qianrui reluctantly imagined it, and at the same time kept shaking her head. I was very hesitant.
After being busy for a while, she leaned her head sideways to the window, looked at the sun, and said in her heart: It's not yet time for dinner, and the prince has gone out and come back, maybe a little hungry, just at this time to send snacks.
