Chapter 54 There is no need to respond to the ghost's calamity
"Zhixi, I only ask your mind," Gu Cuo looked at Zhi Xi, she was beautiful and beautiful, but she was indecisive, thinking about it every time, for fear of living up to her grandmother's grace to save orphans, and afraid that Gu Cuo would bear the sin of offending King Rong's Zhao Mansion because of her, so she bowed her head and replied: "If it weren't for my grandmother who saved me in infancy, I wouldn't exist in the world, and my life is my grandmother's master." I know that you have my deed, and if you use it as a threat, I have no choice but to thank you with my death, and then apologize to you. ”
"If it's really just wishful thinking," Wu Gu felt unbearable heartache and uncomfortable with a knife: "You talk like this, it seems that I have done many things just to blackmail you." Do you really not understand how much I care about you, or do you deliberately want to say this to break my heart? ”
"I'm just a mere mortal woman, I don't have anything to look at, I don't know anything about the wind and clouds, I don't understand the wind and the moon, I am loved by you, but I can't repay you, if you insist on going your own way, and don't say that the future will be ruined because of disputes, it is this dispute, if it starts because of me, I also feel guilty." Zhixi's eyes were hazy and misty. Who to love and who not to love, even she herself does not know. All she cares about is not to get into trouble because of herself. She wants her family to be safe, but she is a disaster again.
"For you, the future is bright and end, when do I care." Wu Gu looked at her with tears in his eyes: "I am in your heart, is there really only such a place?" If you are troubled only for the sake of this deed being pledged to me, I will pay it back to you now. As he spoke, he took out the deed and tore it to shreds in front of everyone, as if his past with Zhixi, as well as Zhixi's belonging, were now free with the pieces of ruthlessly torn paper: "From now on, you just need to be your Jing Zhixi, you have to remember that you are not attached to anyone, and you are no longer an object to be exchanged, your own destiny, only you can decide!" ”
"Who is the champion going to show this affection?" Mrs. Zhao was impatient, as long as she could hold the handle of people, she would desperately handle it with power: "Everything, come first and come first, you broke her up with my grandson before, I know that my grandson is not good, I don't care about you, and let you lead her away." It's just that now, she has a better future, do you want to stop it? If you don't ask about the future yourself, won't she ask either? Have you ever asked her what she thinks? ”
"Grandmother, that's not what I meant." Jing Zhixi didn't want to bear her grandmother, and she didn't want to look at Wu Gucuo and be sad, her hesitant nature as a good person was her fatal wound: "I don't look at the glory of Rongfu. ”
"That's for me, isn't it?" Zhao Wanmo was overjoyed for a while, walked up to her, and took her hand: "I knew you liked me." Jing Zhixi wanted to get rid of his hand, but she couldn't break free, so she had to let him hold her.
Wu Gu mistakenly looked at the hands they were holding together, and said in a deep voice: "I understand your intentions." He couldn't stand them anymore in front of him, Jing Zhixi's indecisiveness gave him a stab in the heart, and he covered his heartache and left gloomily.
In the early spring, it was like a misty spring snow, which melted on the ground, and Wu Gu walked aimlessly on the street, stumbling step by step, drowning in the silent darkness of only him: I have also been to the Qionglin banquet, and I have also beaten the horse in front of the street, but if there is no you, what is the meaning of all this prosperity in the world.
The next day, Jing Zhixi returned to the Yuewen Zhao family with Mrs. Zhao, and before the Chai family was knighted, Jing Zhixi, who was freed, still lived in her nominal grandmother for the time being, and what she did every day was nothing more than sprinkling and sweeping the courtyard, serving tea and grinding ink.
The official of the good news in the capital, at this moment with the gold flower note, also arrived at the house of the master of Qiwu, a piece of lanterns, gongs and drums, and rewarded countless gold and silver coins, in order to show the brilliance of the Yuanmen. The lady of the Wu family raised her eyebrows with a move, and also imitated the previous actions of the Lu family and the Chen family, feasted the villagers and neighbors, and said that the matchmaker was happy and broke through the threshold. Three days after Wu Gu boasted about the official, he also returned home, and returned to the township for another feast, ushered in the send-off, and his reputation shocked ten miles and eight towns.
"Wu family lady, you are really waiting for the blessing of the sky," Lu Niangzi congratulated Wu Niangzi this time, Wu Niangzi's face was not very radiant, but she said in her mouth: "Where can you compare to your Lu Wanyu, it is the lintel of the imperial family." I want to take you to the capital, you just can't get used to it, and you won't enjoy that great blessing. ”
While talking, the matchmaker in the countryside was busy protecting Wu Niangzi: "Your family is wrong, but now you are soaring, and you are handsome, even if you are older, how many girls are waiting in line now, which one do you see, just tell me, with me out of the horse, I am not afraid of it." ”
"Mrs. Xiangguo, Mrs. Xu's first product, come to say hello to the old lady of the champion family!" The driver shouted, carried the gorgeous sedan chair a few times, fell to the ground, and walked out of a noble lady with Ayaluo in her body, walking towards the Wu family's room.
"Princess Rong's Mansion, say hello to the old lady of the Zhuangyuan family!" Another shout, the Huang family of Rongwangfu got off the sedan chair, although it was also graceful, after all, it was born as a maid, and there was no correct name, and the momentum was weaker than the Jia family.
Therefore, happy people are similar in their happiness, while unhappy people have their own misfortunes. This is the champion of the Wu family, although the scenery is larger, after all, it is similar to the situation of the Lu family and the Chen family in the past.
These two noble ladies got off the sedan chair and walked in the same direction, but when they saw each other, their eyes were red. Each despises the other.
Lu Niangzi looked at Wu Niangzi enviously, sneering and experienced, and urged her: "Look at it, your good deeds are much more valuable than mine, and you are still stupid to do something, go and greet it, even if it is a small official, take a step, and you can shake a hole in our realm, not to mention the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Palace." ”
Wu Niangzi smiled and hurriedly greeted her, a group of countrymen greeted her, just accompany the smile and give up her seat. After the joy of the road, the two families are the same intention, but after listening to it, Mrs. Wu made a difficulty. The young lady of Jiafu, the girl named Jia Xiuer, the daughter of the palace, and the girl named Zhao Mengyan are all here to match the family affairs. It's just that a woman can't marry a second husband, and although a husband can marry a second daughter, the families of the two families are too high to reach the edge, which one is big and which one is small, and they all offend the other.
Mrs. Wu was really difficult, so she let Wu Gu choose the wrong one. Wu Gucuo simply refused: "Except for the Yue and Zhao family's Jing Zhixi, I won't marry anyone." ”
"Who is this Jing Zhixi, and which lady is it?" The lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion asked urgently.
"Speaking of which, it has something to do with my family, in the first month, when my son got married, the Zhao family went to a banquet, and Jing Zhixi didn't look like a daughter." Concubine Huang of King Rong's Zhao Mansion turned to Gu Cuo as she spoke, and said meaningfully: "It's not that I said you, Lord Zhuangyuan, now your identity, Jing Zhixi is not worthy of you." ”
"How do you say that?" Wu Gucuo questioned the Huang family: "The son of the three princesses of your family, she can afford it, what kind of family do I have, you actually said such a thing." belittled her, and also belittled the son of your palace. ”
"What do you know?" As soon as the Huang family mentioned the son of the third princess, there was an indescribable emotion on his face, which was not disrespectful, but he was also ashamed: "That is, he is replaced by another son of the prince, and the prince will not allow it." It's a pity that the prince only has two sons, one is my family's Qi'er, and the other is the visitor. Then again, you also know that Jing Zhixi was promised to visit Mo in front of you, and you are still thinking about it. ”
"Oh, I see. Strange that my family went home, saying that on the night of the Qionglin banquet, Zhuang Yuanlang interceded for the Rongwang Mansion, who was imprisoned for the suspicion of killing my family and daughter, and went there alone, which caused the emperor to be suspicious of him. It turned out to be for the name of Zhixi. ”
"What?" As soon as Wu Niangzi heard this, her anger accumulated in her heart, and she didn't dare to attack, so she glanced at her viciously and said, "You come out with me." He turned back to the two ladies and smiled and said, "The two of you will rest for the time being, and I will be absent for a while." So saying, he followed her to another room and closed the door.
Wu Niangzi pulled up Wu Gu's ears and scolded: "Okay, you are a wicked seed, it is not easy to raise you so big, you do something to glorify the lintel, just about to say that you are good, and then you want to bury us in the fire pit." For that kind of fox girl, it was involved in the grievances of the royal family. Rong Wangfu is confined, what a crime, it depends on your newly admitted hairy boy to give his head? I don't know my face or skin, and I go to others to beg for people. Now that people Jing Zhixi has promised Zhao Mansion, and he is still in front of you, you still don't give up, what do you want to do? You're going to me off alive. ”
Wu Gucuo was just silent before, let Wu finish venting, and then muttered in a low voice: "Then even if I don't say that, which one are you going to promise now?" ”
didn't say a word, but it was enough to choke the Wu family, yes, which family could afford to offend her?
After a while, the two went back, and Wu Niangzi said: "I just discussed it with Xiao'er, and I think that a lifelong event is related to the daughters of the two families, and it can't be decided hastily." The two of them allowed some time, and each measured their birthdays, and it was not too late to make a decision. She didn't say a word, and the two families didn't say death, in the end, she still counted on one of them to succeed, no matter which one was good.
After a lively scene, Wu Gu cuo-worshiped the old Xie clan, said goodbye to his hometown, took his parents, returned to the capital, arranged his parents in the Zhuangyuan mansion, and he went to Hanlin Yuan to work.
Besides, the matter of the Chai family's knighthood, if it is placed in the past, it is just a matter of King Rong's words. Now that the world has changed, he has to play more tricks, first secretly bought off Li Renxiao, the king of Western Xia, and let them pretend to attack the border of the Southern Song Dynasty, and then arranged the Chai father and son in his border camp, after several battles, pretended to be injured, and won military merits, and then King Rong took care of the cabinet and officials in the capital, and they were awarded meritorious titles. It's just that it was still rejected.
The war did not last for a long time, and in the blink of an eye, in April, the cherry blossoms crossed the rows of roofs, the red and pink roses climbed over the home wall, the scenery was picturesque, but the Yue Zhao family came with bad news one after another:
First of all, Zhao Menghan, the second son of the big house, used to operate the project in the suburbs of Beijing, and he was very rich, and he also made a few faces in the village, but suddenly one day, it came that he suffered a deficit in the project one after another, and several Langyuan projects, although they were completed, the master did not pay the arrears, and the craftsmen under him chased him to ask for debts, and chased him to prison, and was imprisoned in the Qiwuyi prison of his hometown.
Then, it is Zhao Mengmo, the eldest son of the big house, who is just romantic, how many maids and slaves in the family have been troubled, the old lady is counting on him to say that the door is good, find a powerful lady to discipline him well, but he can't get on the wall, and finally married a girl in a green house, listen to the gossip of the villagers, the girl, and Ling Nu look very similar, I am afraid that it is possessed by the soul, hook him, it must be an endless disaster, and then gave birth to a son, but also half stupid and half stupid, and the speech is not good. Mrs. Zhao was completely obsessed with him.
The third thing is that the fourth child suffers from thirst-quenching disease, and he can't walk easily with his legs and feet, and he always has one leg half-drooping, and he sweats when he drags a step. The second son is also unscrupulous, the eldest son is unscrupulous, so he can't get in and out of prison, although the second son has been reading for a few days, he is not successful, the eldest is not small, he is out like a dwarf, no one talks about marriage, and he can't find anything in terms of fame, and he still roars and fights with his father every day. If you are a really loving father, you will lose many children.
On the fourth piece, the two flower-like daughters of the third family, since they were taken to the Chai family, a few months have passed, and there is no sound, and they don't know the situation of life and death.
The fifth is that the brothers are not compatible, the fifth and fourth, because of the previous property, there was a dispute, and the people in the village laughed at it in vain.
In short, the Zhao family of Yuewen is gradually showing a trend of decline.
Mrs. Zhao was in a hurry, so she invited the Dharma to come to the house to do it, and the Dharma deduced that Jing Zhixi was the fate of the ghost, and at the end of the three-year period, she would see her family ruined and killed. Jing Zhixi's origin was unknown, and when the old lady heard this, she slapped her and shouted angrily: "I know that if I take you in, this little, I will not be able to repay you kindly, if it is true, retribution is in front of me." I sent a letter to the Zhao Mansion in the capital, if three days later, I still don't see the Chai family being sealed, I will sell you to the building, and thousands of people will trample on it, and it will be trampled on. ”
"Grandmother is gracious, grandmother is gracious, spare me, Zhixi has never done anything that harmed the Zhao family in the slightest." Jing Zhixi cried and begged.
"You didn't harm my family, but my family was killed because of you" Mrs. Zhao was anxious and recognized that she was a ghost, and she was bound to ruin the Zhao family.
