58. Qin Ruren

When there was still a month before Princess Yichun married Xiao Chang'an, Wang Chongwen died of illness in Luzhou, the place of exile.

When Yang Hao received the secret report from Mu Lanqing from Chang'an, he had just killed two people, not the kind of fake hands, this time he operated it with his own hands, the tip of the knife pierced from the flesh and skin, pierced the muscles, and went straight to the heart, Sui Crouching Tiger and Sui Kite brothers and sisters After a while, their souls returned to the West,

At this moment, it has been five years since they betrayed Yang Hao to Wen Shimao, and in these five years, they have been incognito, hiding in the countryside of Jiangzhou, and making a living from hunting and farming.

Sui Crouching Tiger has not said a word since he was captured, but Sui Kite either laughed or scolded, in the face of Yang Hao laughed wildly, his madness finally hurt himself and Sui Crouching Tiger, originally, Yang Hao interrupted and forgave them, but in the face of Sui Kite, he changed his mind again,

People were killed, revenge was taken, but Yang Hao's heart was empty, very uncomfortable,

This day is Qing'er's birthday, Lu Rui prepared a table of banquets at Wang Yun'er in the morning, and invited Qing'er to the banquet at noon, Qing'er was placed under house arrest in a farm on the outskirts of Xiao Chang'an, Yang Hao did not send someone to guard her, but just told her that if she wanted to leave Xiao Chang'an, she must come and tell herself,

Qing'er never came to look for him, and he never went to her.

I didn't plan to go over, and although I didn't go, I was worried about it, but it might be embarrassing to go.

Yang Hao decided to go back to the house to have a look after Yang Hao executed the Sui brothers and sisters in the backyard prison of the Generalissimo's Mansion for a while, and when he walked halfway, he remembered that Lu Rui was not here today, and it was boring to go back, so he led Dongfang Lan to prepare to go out of the city to hunt, and at this time, he received a secret letter from Mu Lanqing,

Yang Hao suddenly felt a shock in his spirit, and immediately decided to go to Wang Yun'er to attend Qing'er's birthday banquet.

His sudden arrival completely ruined the birthday banquet, I heard that he didn't come, Lu Rui invited the eunuch and celebrity to join in the fun, in view of Qing'er's embarrassing identity now, most of the older and dignified generals' wives did not want to come, and the ones who came were all young girls and daughters-in-law, a large room of people talking and laughing was being used, he came, except for Lu Rui, everyone was restrained, Guan Nan and Guan Mei were so frightened that they hid behind Qing'er, bowing their heads and not daring to look at him,

Yang Hao realized that he was too abrupt, but since he came, he was not good to leave, and he was quite embarrassed for a while, but fortunately, Lu Rui broke the siege, reluctantly said a few words, toasted Qing'er with a glass of birthday wine, and hurriedly retreated.

Yang Hao's unintentional move immediately set off a storm in Xiao Chang'an, and the farm where Qing'er lived in seclusion was suddenly full of people, and there was an endless stream of cars and horses to visit and give gifts.

Qing'er couldn't bear to be disturbed, and came to beg Lu Rui and asked her to help her solve the siege.

Lu Rui said with a smile: "This kind of thing is not getting darker and darker, you are really afraid that they will disturb you, it is better to move into the mansion and live with me, this county mansion is not something that anyone can enter if they want to." ”

Qing'er smiled bitterly and said, "You say this, I don't want to be ashamed to death." ”

Lu Rui said: "I advise you not to hold it, if you really have nothing to do with him ruthlessly and righteously, why don't you take Guan Mei Guan Nan away, don't tell me that you are a weak woman and there is no way, what about Sister-in-law Meng, you are not a reason." ”

Qing'er said: "I'm different from you, I'm dragging two children." ”

Lu Rui was cold when she heard this, and said, "You are joking, I am a hen who can't lay eggs, and it is easy to carry the rooster out on my back and not be able to bring the two chickens back." ”

Qing'er's face turned red, and she hurriedly defended: "How can I mean this, how can you say that, ashamed to death......"

Lu Rui laughed and said: "My good sister, if you think so, you are weak, people have now fully understood, men and women, people have already seen through this matter, husband and wife are the same forest birds, and they fly separately when the disaster comes, this is difficult to pass, why not get together a husband and wife, you can't see through it." ”

Qing'er lowered her head with a red face when she heard this, and said, "I'm afraid he won't be able to tolerate the two children." Lu Rui sighed silently when she heard this, and said: "Sister, you say, are we all useless, we have followed him for so long, why have we come out of nothing, he has also worked day and night in those years, and he has never been lazy." ”

Seeing that Qing'er's face was flushed into sauce, Lu Rui grinned and said, "Okay, I think you can move in today and be the Qin Ru of the Xining County Mansion." ”

Qing'er said: "Bah, I don't even know what my surname is, you gave me a surname, what is this." ”

Lu Rui said: "Don't you know what to do, although the widow is not a wife, she is also famous and registered, how can you let the family record your name in the clan register, Qing'er, or Mrs. Guan." ”

Qing'er said ruthlessly: "Lu Rui, I know that you are qualified to bully me when you have cultivated a positive fruit, but don't forget who I am, I would rather die if you bully me ruthlessly." ”

Lu Rui said: "Yo yo yo, scare me with death, how do you know that if you die, he will definitely dispose of me, he is not as good as before, he is not as ruthless as before, when the time comes, he will think: Yo, one has already died, I will kill another one, it will be all gone, this deal is not cost-effective, it's just that, if you die, you will die, she is not blessed, she can't stand the blessing of my Yang family, so she will be buried in a coffin." ”

Qing'er's face darkened, and Lu Rui's jokes were enough, so she cleared her throat and said: "I don't care what your surname is, but I can't help but worry about this entry into the door, there is a fish at home, you watch and guard, sooner or later, you still have to let him take it, so he simply washes and boils it to let him eat without worry." ”

Qing'er said: "The surname is Lu, I won't tear your mouth today, I will be surnamed Qin." ”

Lu Rui ran out while begging for mercy, and when she ran into the courtyard, she shouted: "Look, Qin Ruren is going to beat someone." ”

provoked the servants and maids to come to see the excitement, this time Qing'er couldn't hold her face, she hid in the house and bolted the door and never showed her head again, so Lu Rui ordered Yiyang to send someone to pick up Guan Nan and Guan Mei, and drew a courtyard for Qing'er's mother and son to live in, and openly called Qing'er a Qin Ru to the outside world.

After going back and forth, let Yang Hao know, he scolded Lu Rui: "You are just afraid that the world will not be chaotic, you let her put her face in the future like this, it's really nonsense." ”

Lu Rui turned her lips and said: "Don't know what to do, who will benefit me by doing this, will she lose face in the future, not me, but you." ”

Yang Hao smiled angrily: "Okay, you Lu Rui, did you let the door clamp your head, it was you who made a storm in the city, why is it mine, you explain it to me clearly, I don't understand, don't want to eat tonight." ”

Lu Rui grimaced and stuck out her tongue and said, "If you don't eat, you won't eat, I'll go to Qin Ruren's place to eat." ”

Yang Hao rushed over and grabbed her and wanted to spank her, Lu Rui screamed and circled around him, the two of them were fighting, Qing'er suddenly broke in, and asked the two with a cold face: "What do you mean by trapping me here." ”

Lu Rui took the lead and said: "We will welcome you on the sixteenth of this month, and we are discussing marriage." Then she said to Yang Hao: "Sister Qing'er is her own person, there is no need for those red tapes, I think I can save it, and it is the right way to enter the door as soon as possible." ”

Yang Hao was forced by her, so he had no choice but to respond: "Ah, that's not good......

Qing'er said coldly: "Of course it's not good, now I am a widowed widow, and if I want to remarry, I must have a matchmaker's ceremony, otherwise I would rather die than your Yang family." ”

Qing'er said with a cold face, turned her head and went,

Lu Rui was anxious, waving two small fists and shouting at Yang Hao: "I also have the instrument of matchmaking, three media, and nine hiring, and the same is indispensable." ”

Yang Hao reminded her: "But you have already entered the door." ”

Lu Rui said: "That's not going to work. ”

Then he said with a sad face, "Why am I so stupid that I entered your door in a daze." ”

Qing'er moved out of the county mansion that night, and remarried as a widow seven days later, Yang Hao gave her an official name Qin Qing, Yang Hao was quite proud of his proud work, and surrounded Qing'er for several days to call kisses, until Chang'an City came to Li Qing to go to Luzhou as his wife to mourn Wang Chongwen,

Yang Hao was speechless for a while, from the perspective of etiquette, she is still Wang Chongwen's wife, and it is natural for a wife to mourn for her husband.

Yang Hao hated Li Yan and Qiu Shiliang a little, obviously he had already promised his own business, why didn't he do it simply, Wang Chongwen is now a guilty person, a piece of edict, or a little hint, naturally someone will stand up and speak for Li Qing, asking them to divorce, what etiquette, reputation, don't you still say it,

But it's not too late, a princess went out of Beijing to mourn her husband, but unlike ordinary people's homes, there are many troubles to do, if there is a problem in that link, her guilt can only be sent in her mansion in Chang'an,

Yang Hao hurriedly wrote a letter to Tang Hu, asking him to go to see Li Qing, in order to appease and enlighten, hoping that Li Qing could not only be sad, but also think about herself, and think that there is still someone in the northwest of Chang'an who is looking forward to her arrival.

Tang Hu is now hanging an empty name in the Thorn Horse Courtyard and receiving a salary, and he has long been out of the hospital on errands, because he is a loose person and a bad old man who is about to die, Wu Chen, who takes care of Li Qing, is open to him and allows him to visit the imprisoned princess from time to time.

After the new emperor ascended the throne, he could even enter the princess's mansion directly, and no longer needed Wu Chen's warrant,

After receiving Yang Hao's letter, he asked his wife: "You said that I should go to see her with a smiling face, or go to see her with a bitter face." ”

The old wife smiled: "Just let it be." ”

Li Qing learned the news of Wang Chongwen's death from Li Haogu ten days ago, Li Haogu was the only person in the palace who could be seen since she was kidnapped by Zhang Hai to Chang'an, Emperor Wenzong died, Li Haogu immediately changed the court, and became the proud protΓ©gΓ© of the great eunuch Liu Hongyi, not only favored in front of the new emperor, Qiu Shiliang also handed over many secret things to him to do, and for a while he was in the palace and became prosperous.

On this day, Li Haogu sent a box of potato cakes to Li Qing in the name of the new emperor, and Li Qing forced him to tell him in detail about Wang Chongwen's death in Luzhou.

Li Haogu explained in detail how Wang Chongwen left Beijing, how he walked, how he contracted the wind and cold after arriving in Luzhou, what Langzhong invited, and what medicine he used.

Keeping up with what he said word for word, Li Qing listened to it in despair, and immediately burst into tears again, this person who has the name of husband and wife with him but has no husband and wife, he is both disgusted and pitiful, he was a stranger when he was alive, and when he died, he suddenly knew that he had always had a place in his heart, but his position was too biased and he had been ignoring it.

Li Qing tried hard to recall the bits and pieces he was with him, there were too few things in his memory, and there were really not many things that could be recalled.

She cried for a while, a little dazed and at a loss, and when she realized that Li Haogu was still standing aside in an orderly manner, a nameless fire inexplicably appeared in her heart, and she sneered: "Now you are satisfied, my mother is long gone, my father has escaped into the empty door again, the empress dowager doesn't care about me, and now I don't even have a nominal husband, you can finally do whatever you want." ”

Li Haogu said: "People can't be resurrected after death, please mourn the princess." ”

Li Qing said with tears in her eyes: "What else do I want to mourn, it is better to die clean than to live alone in this ruthless and unrighteous world." ”

"Ouch, when you say this, you are going to break the heart of a good person, for you, people have no less money."

"Capital, what am I worth, how much can I be worth."

"Look, the slave has a foul mouth, it should be beaten, it should be beaten." Li Haogu pretended to slap himself in the mouth,

"Princess, it's not that the old slave is talkative, your fate with Wang Chongwen is over, this is God's will, this is God's reward for your suffering for so many years, princess, if you want to be sad, you have to cry a few times, and you have to marry happily after crying."

"Marry."

"But it's not, since the opening of the spring palace, I have been busy preparing a dowry for you, you are the sister of today's son, and your future husband is the generalissimo of soldiers and horses in the northwest of Xiongzhen, how dare you be perfunctory."

"Sell me to him, you will make a lot of money." Li Qing said sarcastically,

"No matter how much you earn, the old slave dares to ask the princess: Do you really not want to marry him in your heart?"

Li Qing exhaled and didn't speak,

"If you don't speak, then you are acquiescing, alas, if you want to say that the princess is the most wise and wise, 'easy to get priceless treasures, difficult to find a lover,' isn't it just sung in the play, now that good things have hit you, what are you tossing, if you really feel guilty about Wang Chongwen, set up a tablet for him in Chang'an, and pray for him every day, why do you need to go to Luzhou, do that, it can really make you feel at peace, the old slave is just deceiving himself."

"Okay, you old slave, believe it or not, I asked the emperor for you."

"Letter, you'd better have an old slave, and if you want to beat and scold in the future, the old slave knows that no matter how much you beat and scold the slave and maid, the princess, you won't take the life of the old slave, and the old slave may be able to die well."

Li Haogu knelt down as he spoke, squeezed out two lines of tears, crying sadly,

"If you want to think about it, I still have to think about it, you get up."

Li Haogu thanked him, wiped his tears and said: "It is said that once the son of heaven and a courtier, the emperor of Daxing is gone, and the good days of the old slave should come to an end. ”

Li Qing didn't feel a little soft-hearted, so she said, "You get up, as long as I can still see the imperial brother, I will definitely speak for you." ”

Li Haogu was overjoyed and said, "Yes, yes, sooner or later, the emperor will summon you." ”

Li Qing said lightly: "I hope." ”

As soon as she turned around and saw Tang Hu standing at the door, looking at her with a twisted beard and smiling, Li Qing greeted: "Sir, you're here." ”

Li Haogu was taken aback, Tang Hu stepped forward to salute Li Qing, Li Qing hurriedly supported him and said, "Sir, don't be polite." ”

Tang Hu said: "There is a difference between the monarch and the minister, on weekdays, the old man in private relies on the old man and sells the old clothes in confusion, but today Father-in-law Li can be present." ”

Li Haogu said: "Yo, old man, your words can suppress me forever, the court respects the old ministers, and there are rules in the etiquette system, and officials above the third rank do not have to bow down when they see the prince and princess, if I remember correctly, you can have the official of the military department on your head, the senior official of the third grade." ”

Tang Hu said with a smile: "My three products are not as affordable as your father-in-law's six products." ”

Li Haogu said: "Otherwise, let's change, you go to the palace on an errand, and I will go to the Thorn Horse Courtyard to enjoy Qingfu." ”

Li Qing said: "Old gentleman, don't chew your tongue with him, these people are in the palace all day long to live like this, even if you are better than him, you will also make a fuss." ”

Li Haogu said: "Okay, I'll go, Tang Shangshu, you can talk to the princess." ”

Li Haogu staggered away, Tang Hu looked at his back and said with a smile: "This is to make a person who has attained the Tao chicken dog ascend to heaven, and he will be cast under Liu Hongyi's door, you see that he is more beautiful than before the first emperor." ”

Li Qing smiled: "He was crying just now and wanted to throw himself under my door." ”

The maid brought tea, and Tang Hu asked while drinking tea:

"Oh, did the princess say yes?"

"I don't know, it's up to him to say yes or not."

Tang Hu put down the tea bowl and said, "In my opinion, the princess might as well agree, Li Haogu has been in the palace for so many years, and he has a palace secret book hidden in his stomach." ”

"I wish this secret book was ruined."

"It can't be destroyed, it can't be destroyed, the tree wants to be quiet and the wind doesn't stop, you can't have the heart to harm people, and you can't have the heart to prevent people."

Li Qing nodded silently and said, "I understand, thank you for your advice." ”

Tang Hu said: "Seeing that it is about to be June, does Your Highness really want to go to Luzhou?" ”

"I want to go to Luzhou to keep filial piety for him for three years to forgive the sins in my heart."

"Three years is too long, the ancients had a saying of keeping filial piety for three years, but Zhuangzi also said that when my grave is dry, you can go and get married."

Li Qing blushed and said, "Why does Mr. want to laugh at me for no reason." ”

Tang Hu said: "Don't dare, don't dare, I just want etiquette, reputation, these things are illusory, there can be, there is nothing, the princess feels ashamed of Wang Chongwen, but, can you reduce the guilt in your heart if you really keep filial piety for him, I think that instead of building a house in Luzhou to keep filial piety for him for three years, it is better to clear his reputation, let him return to his roots, if he has the spare strength to reince the old Wang family, this is the real right to start him, in order to truly reduce the guilt." ”

Li Qing was overjoyed and said: "Sir's words really woke me up, I want to ask the imperial brother to clear his name and return his innocence." ”

Talking about empty words: "The princess can have this heart, well, step by step, don't worry." ”

Li Qing said: "That's not good, if he doesn't agree, I will go to Luzhou to keep filial piety." ”
