Chapter 103: Throwing Water
Jinghu walked all the way from the garden to Fang Shixuan, the sky had gradually darkened, and it was not yet the time to hold the lamp, which was the most obscure and uncertain time.
Coming out of Qixue Pavilion, Jing Hu was actually already regretting why he was so aggressive in front of his big brother.
In the past, she pursued the principle of never opening her mouth if it was not her own business, but today she finally made a fuss, and her eldest brother would not listen to her, but caused trouble for herself.
Maybe one day I will remember it, and just find a reason to ban my feet, or punish her for copying books. Anyway, if you say it, you can say it, and it's useless to regret it.
In winter, the water surface of Chaohu Lake is frozen, but now it is close to spring, and everything has melted. There are two cranes nearby, which Jinghu had seen in the Xihe Garden of the Dingguo Mansion a few years ago, and they were bought by her father and pestering her.
It was rare for Jinghu to see them so close to him, and he couldn't help but stop and look at them for a while.
These are two white cranes with a graceful posture, perched on a stone in the water and combing their feathers. but more noble than many.
The totem of the Ke family is the red-crowned crane, is she going to beg her father to get her two red-crowned cranes when she comes.
When it was time for dinner, most of the people in the house were busy in their own courtyards, and there were very few people in the garden.
Since there were no cranes to see, Jinghu also took care of it and prepared to go back for dinner.
She turned, and suddenly she heard a very dull sound, as if something had fallen into the water. Jinghu and Baolan glanced at each other, making sure she heard the sound as well, and began to look for it on the water.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for me to see something fluttering on the water near the apricot blossom forest in the distance.
Jinghu immediately reacted to what was happening, and hurried in the direction of the apricot blossom forest, while asking Baolan to quickly call others to come and save people, "Minghui Hall is the closest here, Baolan, you go to Minghui Hall to call someone." ”
There was a woman who fell into the water, dressed in white, the sky was too dark, and the apricot blossom forest was not lit at night, so Jinghu couldn't see her clearly.
She is not very good at water, when she was in Jiangnan, she only studied with her grandmother's cousin for a while, and then choked on water, and her cousin was grounded, and she never studied again.
She looked around and saw that there was nothing around that could save people, and she was anxious for a while. I didn't know when Baolan would be able to bring someone over, so she had to shout for help.
Fortunately, it was not too late for Sapphire to come, and seeing that the woman was about to sink into the water without any more life, the two little men jumped into the water and dragged the woman ashore.
"Jinghu, what's going on?"
Baolan was the one who went to Minghui Hall to call, and when Jing Xun and his wife heard about it, they came over to inspect it.
Jing Hu was eager to save people, and didn't bother to pay attention to Jing Xun's question, "I'm just passing by here, how will I know what's going on." ”
Then he said to the two little guys: "What are you still doing in a daze, are you going to save people and it's over?" She must have choked on a lot of water. ”
She had choked on water herself, and knew that it would be difficult for a person who fell into the water to wake up if he could not spit out the water that had choked on it.
The princess said, "Let's let the maids around me come, they know this." ”
After all, it was a woman who fell into the water, and it was always a little inconvenient to let the little guy do it. Jinghu thought about it, and understood the intention of the princess. It's just that the woman's strength is smaller, and when she fell into the water, I heard that her second cousin saved her.
The two maids seemed to be very professional, and Jinghu took the lantern and approached to see the woman.
I just fell into the water, I was drenched, and I was dressed in snow white, like a pear blossom that had just been fished out of the water. She was very delicate, not like an ordinary maid, and the more Jinghu looked at her, the more familiar she felt.
When she opened her eyes, Jinghu remembered where she had met her.
It's in the Hejing Hall, and she's the concubine. It's just that that day her eyes were full of resentment, and today, there is no brilliance in her eyes.
Seeing her wake up, the princess stepped forward and squatted down, "Girl, which room are you from, why did you fall into the water?" ”
The woman ignored her and closed her eyes.
Send her back to the Hejing Hall, even if they saved her just now, I'm afraid she won't be alive.
She had just been rescued, and her body was still very weak, so the third sister-in-law wouldn't ask for it. My Fang Shixuan is a little inconvenient, I don't know if there is any vacancy in the third sister-in-law's courtyard, and whether she can be placed first. ”
Jinghu said as he gave the princess a look. The princess was a smart person, so she didn't ask again, and instructed her subordinates, "Go and fetch the spring stool and carry this girl back." Remember to keep the movement small. ”
The two little servants answered, and it didn't take long for them to carry the spring stool over and send her into Minghui Hall. When this happened, Jinghu naturally didn't have the heart to eat, and the woman didn't speak along the way, just closed her eyes and rested.
As soon as she entered Minghui Hall, the princess sent someone to ask the doctor to see her, and Jinghu didn't have to worry about the rest of the matter.
I didn't know the identity of this woman, the princess opened the east wing room for her to live in, and Jinghu heard that the doctor prescribed medicine to her, so she followed Jing Xun and his wife to the main room.
"The third sister will eat here today, and if there is anything to do later, the third sister will know in time."
In fact, she was already in no mood to eat, but she didn't want to go far. After the woman woke up, she had no intention of being afraid, nor did she shout that someone was trying to harm her, but she was afraid that she had the idea of committing suicide.
And why does a person have the idea of suicide, it happens to be on the day when her husband returns. The answer is hardly self-evident.
Jinghu nodded and sat down with the princess.
This meal was very silent, and Jing Xun wanted to speak several times, but was stopped by the eyes of the princess. After finishing the meal and resting for a while, Jinghu's mood improved.
The princess observed her words and asked her, "Does the third sister know the identity of this woman?" When I look at her, she doesn't look like a maid in the house, but if she is the master, I don't seem to have seen it. ”
Of course, the concubine is no longer a maid, but she is not a master, "She should be my eldest brother's concubine, I saw her once in Hejingtang." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, Jing Xun and the princess glanced at each other, "Jing Shen's concubine room? Is she looking for death today? ”
Jinghu glanced at him, "What?" Does the third brother want to make a fuss about this? ”
Seeing that the brother and sister were not speculative, the princess sighed in her heart, "After all, this lady is in the sister-in-law's courtyard, and we are younger brothers and sisters-in-law, so it is always a little inconvenient." In any case, you should always go to the shrine and report it. ”
