Chapter 32: Sun Niang
In the Daming Palace, which is like a fairyland, the three immortal mountains on the Taiaxillary Pond are floating in the smoke and mist, and even in the far west of the country of Fulu (Byzantium), some people talk about this small lake. On the east side of such a famous scenic spot, this quiet courtyard is like a paradise. As soon as I entered the yard, there were three or five apricot trees planted in it, and in the late spring season, it was a burst of falling flowers, and the petals of the white flowers in the yard were slowly withering, but they never stopped, and it was useless to clean. Occasionally, people pass by and notice that they will only say, "Imagami lived here before."
And now it is Li Yan'er's mother and daughter who are housed here. It was already dusk, when Li Yan'er had just come back from playing in Jincheng, she felt deserted as soon as she entered the yard, she was used to the lively life, and at this time she couldn't help but curl her mouth and look lost. Fortunately, she doesn't like to go out, and she is usually at home, so Li Yan'er shouted.
When Sun heard his daughter's voice, he walked out of a room by the door. Li Yan'er was stunned when she saw it, only to see Sun's gray face, with cobwebs on her hair, and her face was full of dust.
"Mother, what are you doing, how did you get like this?" Li Yan'er's eyes widened, she wanted to laugh but couldn't.
Sun said seriously: "I will clean this house, and then ask someone to buy some pots and pots and chopsticks back, so that we can cook by ourselves in the future and save trouble." ”
Li Yan'er became happy when she heard this: "You can eat things made by my mother again, I want to eat Mao soup, and the rice of the Queen Mother of Yuhuang!" ”
Sun sighed and said, "Let's talk about it later...... It's time to feed the rabbit in the hall, go and see. ”
"Oh." Li Yan'er saw that her mother's face was not good, so she had to respond in a suddenness and walked to the house to the north.
The worry on Sun's face is still there, the calculations of those snobs in the palace, she doesn't take it very seriously, she has seen a lot in the palace before, and it's a big deal to endure a little everywhere and pass, for example, the food sent by the Shangshi Bureau is not clean, so make it yourself; What she can't let go of is the worrying future.
It would be good if it was not a daughter, but a son, as a descendant of the Li family, there would always be a certain amount of treatment, and the mother could live with her son; But daughters are different, Li Yan'er has to marry someone after all, how can there be a married daughter in the world who goes with her mother-in-law?
Sun gave birth to Li Yan'er at the age of fourteen, and now she is only twenty-seven years old, and she also thought about remarrying, which is not a big deal in the Tang Dynasty...... It's just for some people, such as the common people and princesses (Taiping remarried once); But as a princess, the identity is embarrassing, who can marry a widowed princess? If the Sun family is from a big family, it is okay, and she can continue to play a role in marrying the family without a husband, but she is not a concubine, and her background is also very poor, so that she can't go up now. Remarry into a well-born family, no one wants to marry; If you don't marry well, the Li family clan will not agree, for fear of losing face.
She expected that her destination would probably be the Yeting Palace in the Taiji Palace. After Li Yan'er gets married, she may live in the cold palace like those old palace maids who have fallen out of favor, eating and waiting for death to die and die alone.
At this moment, Li Yan'er's surprised voice interrupted her thoughts, and Li Yan'er shouted happily: "Where did my mother catch the rabbit, it's so cute!" ”
Sun turned around, only to see Li Yan'er walking in with the rabbit in her arms, she saw that her daughter liked it, so she didn't tell her how the rabbit came from, but said casually: "Someone else sent it, you can keep it if you like it." I won't go to Jincheng less in the future, understand? ”
Li Yan'er blinked her big eyes and said innocently: "Everyone ignores me, only Aunt Jincheng is not like that, why can't you go?" ”
Sun said in a deep voice: "Many people in Daming Palace have a bad relationship with Jincheng, she is going abroad, what should you do?" Listen to your mother, your mother will not harm you. ”
Maybe Li Yan'er was reluctant to Jincheng, so a trace of tears flashed in her eyes after hearing this, and her voice was a little choked: "There are so many princesses, why did Aunt Jincheng go to Tubo?" ”
At this moment, I suddenly heard a commotion outside, and when Sun listened to it, she heard Wang Zhaoyi's voice, and she hurriedly said: "Wipe your eyes, don't let outsiders see your tears!" ”
Li Yan'er wiped her sleeve and said indignantly: "This woman is so boring, it's okay to bother us all the time!" ”
Sun was busy fetching water to wash his face, and after a simple tidying up, he walked out of the door, only to see that Wang Zhaoyi had already come to the yard with a group of women, and he was really uninvited. Sun Shi said with a needle in his cotton: "Wang Zhaoyi came to visit our orphan daughter and widow, I should go out to greet him, how can you come in by yourself?" ”
That Wang Zhaoyi straightened his neck, raised his eyebrows, and his face turned cold: "Hmph, you really know how to put gold on your face, I am usually very busy, how can I have spare time to visit you?" I heard that you are playing with villains behind closed doors, cursing others with voodoo? ”
Sun's face changed: "Wang Zhaoyi, you have to be a man with your conscience, you can't spread rumors like this!" ”
Wang Zhaoyi said coldly: "Is it a rumor, just search for it, come here, search for me!" ”
Li Yan'er was furious, glared at Wang Zhaoyi and scolded, she was used to being arrogant before, and she was very energetic when she scolded people, and in a moment, Wang Zhaoyi's face was blue and white. Wang Zhaoyi forgot to search for a while, and first wanted to make Li Yan'er angry, but seeing that she was holding a rabbit in her arms and was very concerned, she thought that it was the most devastating thing to win people's love, and immediately said: "This rabbit must be a prop of voodoo, bring it to me to check!" ”
"Don't give it!" Li Yan'er raised her head and glared at her stubbornly.
Sun next to him came back to his senses in shock, and at this time he said in his heart: Of course, there is no voodoo villain in the courtyard, this matter is completely out of nowhere, and Wang Zhaoyi himself must know it; Judging from several interactions, she is a narrow-minded woman who will repay her, and this time she may be prepared!
The Sun family is not afraid of searching, but they are afraid that they will plant false accusations, and when the time comes, there will be no one above, where can they be reasonable?
She was angry and aggrieved in her heart, and she almost couldn't hold back her tears. At this time, I saw that Wang Zhaoyi instructed the people around him to snatch the rabbit in Li Yan'er's arms, and Sun made a move and said coldly: "This rabbit was given by Xue Dalang, the eldest son of Princess Taiping of Zhenguo, and you also want to rob what others sent?" ”
Now in the entire Daming Palace, the most powerful person is naturally Princess Taiping. As soon as they heard her name, Wang Zhaoyi and the others were also stunned, and did not dare to act rashly. She raised her hand to stop others, and said suspiciously: "You have to lie and have to tell it, Xue Lang will give you something?" Why did he send it? ”
Sun said expressionlessly, "How do I know why he sent the rabbit to Yan'er?" In the afternoon, he came over with Zhang Xiao from the Inner Servant Province, and you can ask Zhang Xiao if I lied. ”
Wang Zhaoyi's face turned pale, her eyes rolled, she didn't know what she was thinking, and then she looked at Li Yan'er again, and said in a daze: "Is that so?" ”
Sun said: "I've already said it, if you don't believe me, you can go and ask Grandpa Zhang, and he will lie to you too?" ”
Wang Zhaoyi looked back left and right, and said very embarrassedly: "I will definitely ask in person." ”
"Please." Sun said lightly, "Then do you still want to search the yard?" ”
Wang Zhaoyi said coldly: "Don't worry about destroying evidence, I can always find clues, wait, I'll go back to you!" Let's go! ”
Sun sneered: "I will not send it far." ”
Within a few moments, a group of women had vanished cleanly. At this time, Sun, who had been forced to be calm, could no longer hold on, and tears poured out like a flood of decisive mentions. Li Yan'er hurriedly hugged her shoulders: "Mother, what's wrong with you?" ”
Sun's shoulders twitched for a while, first choked, and then simply burst into tears.
Li Yan'er didn't know why her mother was crying so sadly, but she felt her affection and couldn't help crying, so the mother and daughter hugged their heads and cried bitterly. After crying for a while, Li Yan'er comforted her mother, helped her back to the house and sat down, gently patted Sun's shoulder and said, "Mother, you used Xue Chongxun to scare Wang Zhaoyi away just now, but he is the enemy of our family, so you are sad?" ”
Sun gradually retracted his feelings, took out his handkerchief and gently wiped his eyes, was silent for a long time, and finally regained his calm demeanor. At this time, she grabbed Li Yan'er's hand and said, "Xue Lang is not our enemy, Yan'er has to understand, do you know?" ”
Li Yan'er was still holding the rabbit in her arms, and said puzzledly: "But I saw him kill his father with my own eyes." ”
Sun shook his head and said, "Even if he doesn't do it, your father will die, maybe even worse...... Xue Chongxun also had a father before, but when he died, he was beaten all over his body, locked up in a black prison and died of illness and hunger, Yan'er wants your father to die like that? ”
Li Yan'er's eyes widened, full of fear.
Sun Shi said again: "He won't blame Xue Chongxun under Jiuquan, it would be more dignified to die like this...... Maybe I should have gone down with him then, alas......"
"Mother, I don't allow you to say that!" Li Yan'er hurriedly grabbed her mother's arm, "In the future, I will listen to my mother's words, don't scare Yan'er by such words, you have to stay by my side all the time......"
Sun smiled bitterly, touched her head and said, "Silly child, you have grown up and are about to get married, how can your mother always accompany you?" ”
Yan'er said coquettishly: "No, I just want my mother to be by my side." She said as she put her arms around Sun's neck and did not give in.
Sun had no choice but to say, "Okay, isn't my mother here?" You have to be obedient, and you will not go out to wander around in the future, and you will not go there in Jincheng...... We must learn to behave in a way and be knowledgeable. Also, you must think twice when you speak, the water you spill can't be recovered, and you can pull it out of other people's ears when you say it? ”
Li Yan'er pouted: "Mother, you are getting more and more nagging!" ”G
