Chapter 174: Xia Cicada (13)

"Why are you here?" Seeing him say this, I looked at the dust on his body, and I really felt a little guilty, and the tone of my voice improved.

"Your brother said you have been sitting on the railing since you got up this morning?" Rong Tan came to my yard for the first time, looked up at the railing outside my room and asked, "Is this safe?" I often ask someone to check the spot."

"Anyway, the little minion will be every once in a while..."Speaking of this, I paused, "Okay, I'll find someone to repair tomorrow, you haven't said yet, what are you looking for me for?" If it's all right, come with me to my brother, I have to break the leg of the person who hurt Miss Feixia's heart. With that, I pulled Rong Tan and prepared to go to my brother's courtyard.

"I came from your brother's study, and he went to look for your father, so he sent me to look for you, and it just so happens that we haven't seen each other for a long time." Rong Tan looked at me, and the center of his bright eyes was my reflection.

I nodded, "Let's go, let's go fishing and eat fish at night." ”

"I just looked at your pond and thought there must be a lot of fish in it, let's go." Rong Tan saw that I was not happy, so he went fishing according to my temperament.

There are several uncles connected to the forest by the pool, and there is a pavilion facing the wind in all directions, we are sitting in the pavilion, with a fishing rod at hand, and we have fallen asleep, the wind is blowing, I am really annoyed by the cicada, I hold my cheek with one hand, and look at Rong Tan, "You don't have to accompany me, I'm fine." ”

"Who said that it was with you, this lake built by the wind makes people reluctant to leave." As he spoke, Rong Tan tidied up the fishing line, because his fish float was already shaking, I looked at it and said to him, "This is a fish on the hook." ”

"Is this the fish on the hook?" I looked at the swaying fish float, and it was the first time I fished like this.

"Is this considered a fish on the hook?" Rong Tan was a little flustered, so I taught him how to pull the fish out, and the servant took the fish off the hook and put it in the fish basket.

I looked at the plump carp and thought it was delicious.

Rong Tan was very quiet, and didn't say anything to let me do well, I don't know how, all the people who have seen me and the six princes together, let me be good, and said that maybe the two of us are not worthy. And he just fell out of big fish one after another, and as for me, not a single one of them fell out.

"I see there is still herring, I'll make you shredded fish soup to drink later?" I nodded and asked Yue'er to bring the fish to the kitchen.

"You really are, you can't even catch fish." He stretched out his hand, twisted the dust from the fishing line, I was a little sluggish, and then asked, "Rong Shizi, I really can't..."

"You might as well call me Tan Shizi, there are too many people surnamed Rong in this Luoyang City." Rong Tan seemed to know what I wanted to ask, but he interrupted me.

I have to say that Rong Tan's company with you is very useful to me, and the marriage between the two of us doesn't seem to make me so resistant.

Rong Huan got married, married the daughter of the Zheng family, and I went on the wedding day and hid in the people watching the ceremony, so that it seemed that my emotions would get better with the congratulations in the crowd. His wife, really, is good.

Soon after, my brother also got married, his wife is a sensible person, not long after getting married, he naturally found his brother's outer room, Lan Xiang, so he asked his brother to take her into the house, and asked his mother to agree, anyway, the matter has come to this, and his mother has to agree, my brother's wife and concubine are not happy, and he has gone through scientific research, and his family connections, he has found a good errand in Cao, which can be described as a spring breeze. It's just that Lanxiang, who has always been in bad health, passed away after a good year in our family.

My brother was grief-stricken, I had never seen my brother who was always a child, and he had the slightest seriousness, but when Lan Xiang died, he really cried all night, I stood in front of his door with my mother, listening to his sobbing voice, my mother also shed tears, and whispered to me, "It's all my fault, it's all my fault." ”

It's my mother, and my sister-in-law, who hurt Lanxiang, I am, I know.

Lan Xiang was originally innocent, and his father was a talent who had failed many times, but fortunately, he could teach and educate people in the village, although he was not rich, but he could still support his family. My mother was a foreigner who fled the famine, and my father and mother starved to death on the road. At the age of ten, she was adopted by Lan Xiang as a child daughter-in-law, such a family, and living can be regarded as harmony.

Later, Xiucai went to Beijing to catch the exam, but he still didn't win, and it rained heavily on the way back, and he died soon after. The people in the clan said that Xiucai had no son, and wanted to embezzle Xiucai's already few family properties, and finally forced Lanxiang's mother to death. There is even a black-hearted village chief's wife, who said that she was sold to a big family in Beijing to be a maid, but in fact, she was sold to the dance music workshop.

She is already past the age of learning to dance, and because she is young, she can't do business yet, so she can only serve the dancing girls in the workshop. My brother met her, also because my brother liked the top Yiyue girl in the dance music workshop very much, but that Yiyue was a femme fatale.

In a fit of rage, my brother bought the orchid. Mother knew about this orchid from the beginning, and thought that they were just dewy love, and the elder brother was romantic, and he would soon be disgusted. But who knows, it has been better for so many years.

Later, my sister-in-law entered the door and learned about Lanxiang, thinking that she was a good person, but seeing what she did to Lanxiang, she was also a person with a needle.

Lan Xiang is already in poor health, always has a heartache, and can't stand the fright and stimulation. Since her sister-in-law took her into the house, she has always let people talk about her background outside her house, saying that Lanxiang has delayed her brother's reputation and future.

Since my brother married a wife, I don't like to go to his courtyard again, but even when I go there are few times, I will meet my sister-in-law's people, who are pointing at Sang and scolding Huai for Lanxiang, I rushed a few times, but my mother held me down, telling me not to meddle.

Finally, on one occasion, I went to my mother's room to say goodbye, and I heard my sister-in-law say to my mother, "The medicine given to her is already the last pair." ”

I vaguely felt the "she" in their mouths, it was Lanxiang, I wanted to tell my brother, but my brother was on my grandfather's job and went to Jinling.

The day after he returned, this orchid fell ill and died.

I listened to my brother's cry and said to my mother, "As his mother, why can't you see that he has a deep affection for that woman." A few years ago, as long as I used this woman as a coercion, even if it was something like going to the sky to pick stars, my brother was willing to accompany me to mess around, and since then, I have known where he came from that woman. Mother, just a cheap concubine, has been serving her brother honestly for so long, as for you and your sister-in-law, are you so troubled and laborious? ”

Mother was surprised, she didn't know that I would know about this, so she shook her head with tears in her eyes, "Yes, it was Mother who was wrong." It's just that your sister-in-law's family has helped your brother a lot, and she doesn't want the concubine to give birth to a child, so I..."

"Mother, you say, will my daughter unite with her mother-in-law in the future and kill her husband's concubine? What would I look like? When I see my sister-in-law, it's also good, it's no different. ”

"Yun'e, don't think nonsense, I think that Rong Tan treats you well, you must not take risks to do this kind of thing. What are you going to do? Don't talk nonsense in front of your brother. "My mother watched me go straight to my brother's study, she didn't stop me, she knew she couldn't stop me.

I walked into my brother's room and watched him sit on the ground, the wind was surging outside, and it was cold again, and the cicadas had long since disappeared without a trace.

"Brother, the matter of Lan Xiang..."I plan to tell him all about Lan Xiang, what is the second county lord of Mu, but he has a femme fatale.

"Yun'e, her name is Xianglan, I told you from the beginning, her name is Xianglan." My brother had a pair of red eyes, he was really sad, and the whole person collapsed.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." These two apologies were for Xianglan, but unfortunately she couldn't hear them anymore.

"I know what you're trying to say, how Pandan died, I know it very well in my heart. She was also killed by me, she is not suitable for here, and she is also suitable for being my woman, but I have to be reluctant, and in the end, I also hurt her. She also told me that you have been helping her, Yun'e, I didn't hurt you in vain, don't worry, I won't do anything, everything will pass like this. I have no way to be an enemy of my mother, and I have no chance of winning against the Mu family, I only have myself, become strong, and finally have the ability to protect the people I love. Yun'e, my brother will also protect you, and in the future, you can just rely on me. "But in one night, I feel that my brother seems to have grown up, and his eyes are still crying, but in the future, he should not cry anymore, only his heart is bleeding.

Xianglan's matter, just passed quietly, and my sister-in-law also had a heart, and it didn't take long for her to be pregnant, but I always saw her unhappy, and she was sad every day.

This winter, my father died, a month before my wedding.

I stared at the wedding dress that had been made in my hand, and sighed, I was really ill-fated.

My father had always had a problem with drinking, and on this day he was so drunk that he fell asleep and never got up again.

Chai Wang's Mansion was plain, Rong Tan came to mourn, I hid in the backyard and watched him, he wanted to smile at me after seeing me, but found that this was not the occasion to laugh, so he made a straight face, but raised his eyebrows at me, I broke into a smile, for fear of being discovered, ran back to my room.

After my father's funeral, my brother forcibly drove out the eldest son born to my father and concubine, but buried the concubine in the ancestral grave of our Chai family, which made my mother angry, but my mother has no way to take my brother now, and he is now the new Chai prince.

The mourning period had to wait three years, which was to make matters worse, and my aunt died.

She was poisoned by the concubine, and such a big thing happened with lightning speed.

The fact that the crown prince was killed by the other two princes seemed to be yesterday, and now such a big thing has happened.

My aunt is the queen, I didn't see how much His Majesty loved him during his lifetime, but after his death, he gave her endless sorrow, I think all this is really too fake, but this is a good thing for our family, and the better thing is that the sixth prince, who has always been good friends with his brother, is the only candidate for the crown prince.

Things came one after another, and I stayed in the boudoir, but I was a lot calmer. It's just that I don't love going out as much as I used to.

Brother, only when I was stupid by that incident, the Feixia girl we saw that time was a very affectionate woman, fell in love with a man, and even gave the money to redeem herself, and then after the man ran away, the mother of the fairy building wanted her to receive guests, and after this dance, she had to start looking for guests for her, so there was that scene that day.

I suddenly remembered that I didn't know what my brother had done with the negative person, but it had been so long, so I thought I just threw him into the yamen.

I went into the palace with my mother, and since my aunt died, I really hated that place. I heard that the wife of the sixth prince is about to give birth, and I really don't know what to do with us.

When I was about to get to the palace gate, my mother parked the car at the market closest to the palace gate and said to me, "Don't go with me." ”

"But isn't Concubine Xian Niangniang going to see the two of us?" My mother was also entangled all the way to the end, so I thought it would be better to go in with her.

Mother shook her head, "It's not interesting for you to go." Let Yue'er find you a carriage and take you back. ”

"Madam, we met the prince of King Yu, who is dismounting and preparing to greet you." When Aunt Qi spoke, my heart moved, "Didn't he go to Jinling?" Why did you come back so soon? ”

"You're happy to see him?" My mother looked at me with some distraction.

"That's natural, he's my fiancΓ©," I said, I lifted the curtain, Rong Tan was bowing and preparing to salute, and was a little surprised to see me open the curtain and come out, "You, you're also there?" ”

"When you come back from Jinling, don't tell me, we still have to go fishing." I hurriedly got out of the car, and my mother saw Rong Tan and smiled, "The son is back?" ”

"This is not just coming into the city, the other mansion has already begun to take shape, and when I came back at this time, I wanted to invite Yun'e to come over and have a look, and Senior Brother Yunfan also said that he had time to go with him." Rong Tan raised his head and said goodbye to his mother, and his mother nodded, "Wait for the summer, Yun'e is too hot to go out." ”

"Well, it's going to be June soon, and it's not hot to death on the way, let's go, son, my mother is going to enter the palace, don't worry about me going back alone, you can send me back, okay? Mother. ”

Mother nodded, and the two of us were naturally very happy, and we left after saying goodbye.

"Tell me, what does your mansion look like?" The palace in Luoyang has been burned to the ground, and His Majesty does not plan to rebuild the palace in this sad place, there is a place in Jinling, the palace that has just been built, His Majesty is ready to move the capital to Jinling, and now, all the dignitaries and dignitaries are going to go over, and our Chai Wangfu is almost built, but the King of Yu refuses to go to Jinling, so His Majesty simply rewarded the fief of the King of Yu here. King Yu asked Rong Tan to go to Jinling to build a separate mansion as a wedding house for the two of us, which has now been built.

"I, ah, let people dig a big pond in the yard, and now that the fish have been raised, when you go, it will definitely be full of fat carp. And according to your instructions, our yard is not a single tree, you hate the sound of cicadas, and now, you can sleep peacefully in the summer. I've built four other yards forβ€”" He didn't bother to continue, but I spoke first, "Who said they were going to have four children?" I'm going to give birth to five, and the extra one, see where you put him? ”

"Five, five? That's too much, isn't it? I originally thought that two sons and two daughters would be fine. ”

"No, I will have four daughters, only one son, and inherit your title." I sat at a tea stall, and although he was a little tired, he was smiling with me. He thought for a moment with some distress, and finally nodded, "Okay, it's not too late to clean up after you go to see it." ”

"It's just that this yard is still not enough, you have a yard, I have a yard, and the children have one each. Where are you going to put me? ”

"I, naturally, we have to live in the same yard, just like my father and mother." He blushed a little, looked down at the cup in front of him, and I laughed "Who is with you?" We don't have a marriage certificate, and we don't accept your bride price, I'm just me, you're just you. Where did we come from? ”

"If not, if it weren't for your father's business, you would be my wife by now." It was rare for him to say such an active word, and I was very satisfied after listening to it, and nodded, "That's right, it's a matter of time or time." Okay, this tea really doesn't taste good, let's go home. ”

"Well, go home" Rong Tan smiled, the two of us walked together, very happy.

It's just that such a happy day disappeared in an instant.

It had been raining in June and at the end of May, so it was supposed to be a rainy June, and not a single drop of rain fell. Just three days after this month, Zheng, the wife of the sixth prince, died in childbirth. Less than twenty days later, before the month was over, His Majesty died.

When I heard the news, I couldn't help laughing, and said to Yue'er, who was packing up my things, "It seems that I can't get married, and the mourning period adds up again and again, and I also encountered a national funeral, I'm afraid that I can't marry someone if I'm less than thirty." ”

"Girl, you're only nineteen years old." Yue'er is also very anxious for me, my mother has already given birth to her brother at my age.

"There are many good things, but fortunately, your family affairs have also been decided. When the state funeral is out, you will get married immediately, and when you arrive in Jinling, everything will be fine. "My mother sat next to me and reached out and stroked my hair.

I nodded, and in a few days, our family would be moving to Jinling.

In the blink of an eye, another two years have passed, and next month, the national funeral will pass.

I stretched out my hand and lifted up this wedding dress that has been done for almost six years, I don't know now, it is still fashionable to wear this color, the phoenix on it wears peonies, but I spent a lot of effort to embroider it, I am a very impatient person, I really don't know how to make this large piece of embroidery.

Princess Yu sent a letter from Luoyang, saying that now she and the prince have left for Jinling, and when they arrive, they will hand over the marriage certificate to our family, and the two families can prepare for their own marriage.

I looked at the phoenix crown in front of me, and said with some pity, "Wouldn't it be a loss to take such a beautiful thing for only one day." ”

"You can take it with you for a few days, in your own house, whatever you want." Rong Tan stretched out his hand and fiddled with the tassel on it with some curiosity, and the tassel made a tinkling sound, which was very good.

"You can't see these things, so you can see them on the day you get married." I pushed him and let him out.

"I'm a messenger, and I don't even drink saliva?" Rong Tan is to send Princess Yu's handwritten letter, by the way to see me, I stayed in Jinling very bitter, I don't know if it's the reason for my age, or my mother really has nothing to do, since we came to Jinling, her constraints on me have become stricter and stricter, and I slowly found that I don't like to go out, and there is my brother, because the new emperor ascended the throne, he is the new emperor's trusted minister, so more and more busy, the two of us, no longer like before, sneaked out of the backyard.

"The teapot is at your hand, you can pour it yourself if you want to drink it, but don't expect me to serve you, because I can drop ten times a day with a cup like this."

"I said it's your teacup here, it's not a set, it turned out to be dropped by you, I have a set of purple sand black jade tea set there, I'll have someone send it to you tomorrow, you use it first." Rong Tan looked at the incomplete and random tea set on my desktop, and really poured himself a cup of tea, and after drinking it, he sat down for a while before leaving.

This was the last time I saw him before I got married. Because of me, I married into the palace and became the queen.

How can I face them, I've been thinking about this question, whether it's Rongtan, or Xiao... Your Majesty.

When the decree came down, I was stunned, and I looked up and asked if the eunuch who pronounced the decree had not said something wrong. Why did I somehow become the queen, and in such a short time, I had to marry into the palace.

My mother patted people and firmly surrounded my boudoir, and even Yue'er couldn't come forward to serve me, so she was replaced by Aunt Qi.

Aunt Qi comforted me, who had already cried into tears, and said, "This is also a good thing, girl, you are now the fourth queen of the Chai family, which is an honor that no one has ever had." ”

"What about Mother? I want to see Mother, I..."

I was sick, until the day of marriage, I have been groggy, I looked at this set of phoenix crowns sent out from the palace, so luxurious that there is nothing to add, vaguely feel that His Majesty has long been ready for this matter, and he has been waiting for this day, just waiting for me, sitting in this gorgeous sedan chair, to become his queen.

Empress? In my heart, I repeatedly asked myself, am I really the material to be a queen? That's how I became a queen? Why is that? What does that little minion who has always been submissive to me look like now?
