Chapter 701: Little Beggar
701
It rained for several days, and the walls and feet were covered with moss, and there was a damp musty smell everywhere.
A little beggar slipped in through the city gate and walked along the high ground by the wall, and no one paid attention to him, like no one paid attention to a puppy.
Although the sky is not yet clear, people don't want to be stuffy in the house. The three of them got together to talk about the violent death of the crown princess and the queen's confinement.
But in a day or two, Xiao Qingqing's death has been deduced in several versions.
Each of these claims has an innumerable number of adherents, who are fighting with each other as if they were at stake in their lives or deaths. In fact, it is just to find some satisfaction from it, and being able to discuss the rights and wrongs of the royal family has always been the most enthusiastic thing for the people in the market.
The little beggar lowered his head, but he was actually very sad in his heart. What she was most worried about still happened, the queen couldn't bear to make the first move, was countered by others, and lost completely.
Xiao Qingqing was implicated and died unexpectedly.
Naturally, there will be some shocks in the DPRK and China, and I don't know how many people will be connected, and how many upstarts and new favorites will take the position.
The little beggar wandered through the streets and alleys, and finally came to a nondescript courtyard.
It happened that the mistress of this family went out to pour out the sewage, and when she saw her thin and small pitiful appearance, she felt compassion and said, "I still have a bowl of leftover rice at home, you can come in with me and eat!" ”
The little beggar followed her into the courtyard, where the usual yard was very pleasing to the eye because it was clean, and a little child sat in a wooden cart, babbling and playing with this rattle.
"Are you thirsty? I'll pour you a bowl of water first! The meal is cold, I'll give you hot and eat it again. The woman moved a bench for the little beggar, and then went in to pour water for her.
"Why don't you speak?" The woman held a bowl of water in her hand and asked the little beggar with a smile: "Are you a foreigner?" ”
The little beggar looked up at her with a clear look in his eyes and a little smile.
The woman was stunned at first, then frowned, and finally her eyes widened in surprise.
With a "snap", the water bowl fell to the ground, but fortunately it was wet, and the bowl was not broken, but the water spilled out.
"Five girls......" The woman's voice was very low, and she trembled very much, and her tears flowed all over her face, but she didn't bother to wipe them.
hugged the little beggar and hugged him to death, as if he was afraid that he would disappear as soon as he let go.
The little beggar is the disguised Wei Yining, and this woman is Chunjiao.
"Fifth girl, why did you lose weight like this?" Chunjiao had already stopped crying, but she couldn't help crying as soon as this sentence came out.
The fifth girl must have suffered a lot before she lost her weight. If she wasn't too familiar with Wei Yining, she would have recognized her as the fifth girl by those eyes, and she would never have recognized her just by looking at her figure.
"Is there anything to eat?" Wei Yining stretched out his hand and rubbed his stomach, it's really not good to be a beggar. She had been going to the city before dawn, and she had been hungry for a long time.
"Yes, yes, girls don't wait." Chunjiao said hurriedly, hurriedly re-served Wei Yining a bowl of water, and went to boil water.
"Brother Silver Lock isn't at home?" Wei Yining asked Chunjiao while teasing the child.
"He went to the workshop early in the morning," Chunjiao said: "There are no good things at home, I'll make you a bowl of Yangchun noodles!" ”
She had a lot to ask the fifth girl, but she had to wait until she was full.
Chunjiao rolled out the dough and cut the noodles with her hands and feet, boiled the water, turned the snow-white noodles into a lotus flower in it, floated up in a moment, put green onions and salt in a bowl, and served it hot in front of Wei Yining, with a plate of pickled cucumbers.
"The girl eats first, and when I go back, I'll go to the street to buy two catties of meat and stew it." Chunjiao said while wiping her hands.
"No, this is good." Wei Yining picked up the bowl and said, "I've long wanted to eat your pickled cucumber." ”
One sentence almost brought down Chunjiao's tears, God knows how worried she is about Wei Yining.
After Wei Yining finished eating the noodles, Chunjiao said, "Did the girl just return to Beijing?" Have you gone back to see the old lady? ”
"I've been back for a few days, but I didn't go back because I had something to investigate." Wei Yining said.
"That young master Hong'an......" Chunjiao said cautiously.
Wei Yining lowered her eyes gloomily, her expression already said everything.
Chunjiao's throat was choked, she didn't have the courage to continue to ask, it was really cruel to the five girls.
After a while, Chun Jiao said: "The person rescued by Grandpa Zhong woke up a few days ago, and Grandpa took him away. I wonder if the girl wants to see Grandpa Zhong? ”
"You are still here when that person is gone," Wei Yining asked Chunjiao, "Do you want to wait for me?" ”
Chunjiao smiled and said, "I really can't hide anything from the girl, and I really told me to wait." ”
"Don't go to Grandpa Zhong first, he may not be in the mansion now, let's talk about it in the evening!" Wei Yining said.
"Then the girl will rest first! I'll get you some water to wash. Chunjiao said.
"No, no, it's easy for me to pretend to be some," Wei Yining waved his hand and said, "The child is sleepy, you can coax him to sleep first!" ”
"Isn't the girl going back to the house?" Chunjiao asked, "I went back to see the old lady a while ago, and I obviously saw a lot older again." Sister Ruyi said that the old lady always talks about you...... Fortunately, Aunt Sang often advises. ”
"Sister Ruyi is about to give birth, right?" Wei Yining couldn't help but worry when she heard her grandmother's recent situation, but it was really inconvenient for her to show up now: "Xiao She'er is okay?" ”
"That stupid girl misses you all day long, and often cries behind her back, saying that she wants to follow me out to live, and I told her that there are not many people in the house, and she wants to stay and serve the old lady, and she won't talk about it." Chunjiao snorted and said, "Everything else is fine." ”
Chunjiao patted the child to sleep while talking to Wei Yining, the child was very well-behaved and fell asleep after a while.
Chunjiao put him on the small bed, the weather was a little cold, and he covered it with a thin layer of sheets.
Wei Yining walked a long way, and Chunjiao asked her to sleep in the room. I went out to buy food.
In the evening, when Yinsuo came back from outside, Chunjiao sent him to the Chaoyong Mansion to invite Zhong Ye over.
"The fifth girl is really back?" Yinsuo asked in a low voice, "What did I say when I saw my grandfather?" ”
"Just say that the girl wants to see him, and invite him here." Chunjiao said: "You are not allowed to say it to others, have you remembered?" ”
"Remember, remember," Yinsuo nodded repeatedly: "Only tell grandpa alone." ”
Zhong Ye was really not in the mansion during the day, and there was such a big thing in the palace, and the previous dynasty was also shocked.
Although only the queen has been abolished at present, the status of the crown prince is also threatened.
The ministers of the DPRK and China have their own factions, and the open and secret battles between them have never stopped, and this time they have taken the opportunity to become more and more intense.
Zhong Ye is a person from King Duan's side and supports the crown prince, so he has been busy thinking about stabilizing the crown prince's position these days.
