036 Past and present lives, the cycle of cause and effect
A group of people dressed in soldier clothes poured in outside, and the staff general led by knelt down in front of Jiang Huai: "My subordinates pay a visit to Lord Yushi." ”
"What?!" The county commander and Chen Yuanwai were all shocked, how could such a young prince be the imperial history?! Although the rank of the imperial history is small, it has great power, and it can replace the emperor to inspect hundreds of officials.
"Lord Yushi is the Tanhua hand-picked by the emperor last year, the youngest Tanhua Lang since the founding of Shenglong, Weifu has come here for a private visit, and you still don't kneel!" The general shouted.
The county order and Chen Yuanwai's knees were weak and they knelt on the ground.
"Take them out, the evidence left by the eldest prince, as well as the flow of kiln treasures, the abducted children, and the buried lives, one by one, will be tried by this official." Jianghuai Road.
"Yes! Subordinates receive orders! ”
"And." Jiang Huai said in a misty voice: "Don't think about seeking death, otherwise... The people you care about will be more alive than dead. ”
It was only at this time that the county magistrate and Chen Yuanwai understood what they meant when Jiang Huai said that death was the most extravagant.
The county magistrate and Chen Yuanwai were dragged out like dead dogs, and the crowded kiln room suddenly became empty.
Jiang Huai stepped on the ground that was still warm, and stretched out his hand, but only grabbed a wisp of ashes. "After all, can't you keep it..."
Jiang Huai sat in the kiln room for two whole days and two nights, did not eat or drink, did not leave an inch, during which the county order and Chen Yuanwai and others could not stand the punishment, and confided all the evil things they had done over the years, this kiln turned out to be one of the secret bases for the great prince's money laundering, and countless crimes were committed.
That night, Jiang Huai could no longer support his body, and at the moment when he fell to the ground, he found a figure appearing out of thin air at the mouth of the kiln, he rubbed his eyes, and said in a hoarse voice: "Am I dreaming..."
Wu You hid in the space for a few days, planning to wait for the porcelain kiln to cool down and then come out to save people, but he didn't expect that there were still people guarding here in the middle of the night, and he was also shocked. Looking closely, the man looked dying, with a long figure but very thin, not like a person from the kiln.
"Are you alright?" Wu You stepped forward to help him up, and asked softly in his ear, only to feel that this person was too thin, and his body seemed to be full of bones, and his whole body trembled when he touched it like this.
"Is that you, Wu You?" In the dark, Jiang Huai clenched her hand, as if holding a life-saving straw.
Wu You suddenly snorted: "Who are you, how do you know my name." ”
Jiang Huai took a long breath and smiled contentedly: "A person who has followed you in two lifetimes. ”
"You are?" Wu You racked his brains, but he still couldn't think of it.
"It's okay if you don't remember." Jiang Huai laughed at himself: "What I brought to you has never been a good memory." But... I won't let anyone hurt you again. ”
"Let's go out and talk, can you still go?" Wu You thought that this person was confused in the kiln, and helped him up.
"If I can't go, will you let me go?" Jiang Huai asked back.
"If you can't leave, you can find a place to hide, and I'll go out and find someone to save you." Wu You said.
Jiang Huai put his arms around her waist and buried his head in her arms: "Don't let go of me." "Otherwise... I can't help it, imprison you.
"Okay, you calm down, I'll explore the way, and I'll be back soon." Wu You thought that this person was too traumatic, and said softly.
"I'll go with you." Jiang Huai said in a muffled voice.
"Then can you let go of me, it's not easy to walk." Wu You said helplessly.
"Okay, you have to promise, you can't let go of my hand." In the dark, JAC's voice was like an oath.
"I promise you, let go, or neither of us will be able to leave." Wu You replied in a loud voice.
Jiang Huai let go of her waist, his fingers tightly wrapped around her, and the two of them tiptoed towards the door.
"It's kind of weird." Wu You poked his head out to take a look, the porcelain yard was incredibly quiet, it seemed to be abandoned, the kiln bricks, sand and stones were scattered all over the place, and even the wolf dog was gone.
"Do you know what's going on?" Wu You turned around and asked, her eyes widened as if she had seen Jiang Huai's face through the moonlight! Her heart hurt as if it had been pinched, and her soul was hit hard: "It's you..."
Jiang Huai hurriedly hugged her in his arms and rubbed her face like a treasure: "It seems that you are also back." ”
The faint scent of sandalwood lingers around him, and the fine sunlight shines through the hollow carved windows, casting into the room, waking up the sleeping people on the bed.
"You're awake." The man lying on the edge of the bed looked up, surprise flashing in his eyes.
"JAC." Wu You saw this strange and familiar face, and said two words that were buried in the depths of his soul.
"It's me." Jiang Huai's eyebrows and eyes were crooked, revealing a sense of joy, he carefully helped Wu You to lean on the head of the bed, and brought a water cup to feed her.
Maybe his demeanor was too gentle, maybe the memory of the original soul was too deep, Wu You couldn't resist at all, she drank the water obediently.
Wu You raised his hand and found that the clothes on his body had changed, and he immediately glanced at Jiang Huai in some panic.
Jiang Huai smiled: "Don't worry, I asked the girl of the Zeng family to help you change the clothes." ”
"Are they all right?" Wu You asked with a sigh of relief.
"Rest assured, it's all safe." Jiang Huai explained: "As early as two days ago, all the dirty things they did outside Chen Yuanwai were dealt with, and the sacrificial boy and the potter were rescued. The two brothers and sisters of the Zeng family had been kneeling at the door of the kiln and refused to leave, so I brought them back. ”
"Where is this? How did you end up in that place? In her memory, he was a noble son who only read the books of sages, how could he end up in such a filthy place.
As if to see through what she was thinking, Jiang Huai said: "I am now the imperial court appointed to patrol the imperial history, responsible for inspecting the officials of all parties, and I came here because my grandmother's birthday is approaching, so I came to Weifu for a private visit, but I didn't expect to be crooked." ”
How is it possible, he is only eighteen years old now, although the position of the inspector is not high, but he has real power, how can he sit in this position at a young age.
Jiang Huai looked at Wu You's incredulous eyes and said, "It's just a trick to use some memories from the previous life." He walked to the table, poured himself a glass of water, and said with a far-reaching gaze: "Only by going through the trials of hell can we have the power to create the altar." Now that I've crawled out of hell, I won't let them have another chance to knock me into the abyss. Do you know who killed you and me in our last life, and who will smear our bones after death? ”
Wu You thought about it carefully, but his memory seemed to be getting more and more blurred: "Is it the prince and the young lady?" ”
Jiang Huai said: "They are on the surface, but they still have a promoter behind them. ”
"Who is it?" Wu You covered his chest, and there was a fire rolling, as if he was venting the anger of his soul.
"The Empress, the Great Prince, and Qiu Xiang."
"Aren't the eldest prince and queen your cousin and aunt, why..."Wu You looked up and asked.
"No, they're just Jiang Teng's cousin and aunt. After you and I died in the previous life, the truth was covered up so quickly, thanks to them. The queen had a difficult pregnancy back then, and Jiang Teng's birth made up for her childlessness, and she was loved by her as a parent, so even if he committed incest, she helped him cover it up. Jiang Huai said: "After I died, I still wandered in the world for several years, watching the Guogong Mansion from prosperity to decline, and with a flick of my fingers, the sea turned into a mulberry field." Although in the end, the third prince succeeded to the throne, Qiu Xiang was full of evil and got an exile, but the eldest prince was only driven to the fiefdom, and the queen was still the queen mother. ”
Jiang Huai drank all the water, and the cup was crushed in the palm of his hand: "Such an ending is not enough to eliminate the hatred of you and me, so in this life, I want to rewrite their endings, so that their evil deeds will be exposed in front of the people of the world and spurned by all the people." ”
Hearing Jiang Huai's words, Wu You felt that the resentment in her heart gradually subsided, it turned out that what she wanted was blood debt and blood repayment!
"Is there anything I can do?" Wu You asked, this is not Jianghuai's hatred alone.
Jiang Huai patted the powder in his palm, sat down next to Wu You and said, "Tell me, how did you come here after you were reborn, and did you go to the capital three years ago." ”
"How do you know?" Wu You said: "At that time, we represented Dongshan Academy to participate in the Gentlemen's Six Arts Competition. ”
Jiang Huai shook her hand and said, "Because I saw you on the street at that time, my rebirth memory was opened at that time." Unexpectedly, I missed it at that time, but fortunately, God had mercy and let us meet again. How did you get to Jozan Academy? ”
Wu You told his experience over the years, but he just skipped the conversation with Prince Rui.
"It seems that your life story is more complicated than I imagined." Jiang Huai frowned slightly: "Concubine Yi's matter has become taboo, and I'm afraid that only the queen knows the inside story." But..."
"But what?" Wu You said urgently.
"My grandmother might know something, and I'll go back and test it."
That's right, isn't Jianghuai's grandmother the queen's biological mother, then she should be able to provide some clues. Wu You had a hunch that her aunt's death was not so simple, and Sima Kailang also said that the queen was gentle on the surface, but in fact she was very ruthless, and if she could find evidence, it might be the last straw that overwhelmed the queen and the eldest prince. "It's just that, in this case, the Guogong Mansion will be finished."
"I don't have to live on this fame in the first place." Jiang Huai touched her hair lovingly and said: "Even if there is no me, the Guogong Mansion has long been rotten, I can't give them glory and wealth, but I can ensure that they have no worries about food and clothing." ”
"Although Prince Rui has a close relationship with you, you have to remember that he is the blood of the royal family first, and in this world, the most chaotic is the royal family, don't easily suppress your sincerity." Jiang Huai quietly gave Sima Kailang eye medicine: "In the previous life, Qiu Xiang was secretly knocked down by him, as a pedal, so that the third prince stepped on the upper position." No matter how much he likes you and treats you well, he can't resist the restrictions of blood, and you have to be careful of being hurt by the people around him all the time. It's just me, even if it's a blood relative, I won't let them touch you in the slightest. ”
"Wu You, in this world, you are the only person I care about, and I will always be with you in hell."
Wu You listened to Jiang Huai's words, a trace of warmth appeared in her heart, and at some point, she felt that her face was wet, and she wiped it with her hand, and it was all tears.
She leaned on Jiang Huai's chest, tears flowed unscrupulously, since she came to this world, the first time she let herself go like this, it turned out that she was so insecure.
Crying and crying, Jiang Huai found that the person in his chest was not moving, he looked down and saw that he was asleep, even in her sleep, she choked with a thin sob.
"I've wronged you." Jiang Huai put her down gently, lifted the brocade quilt, lay down in his clothes, and hugged Wu You, and he finally got a good night's sleep.
The 60th birthday of the old lady of Zhangfu, as early as three days ago, issued invitations, banquets for three relatives and six relatives, friends and friends.
The gate of Zhangfu opened the door at the beginning of the year, and there was an endless stream of guests.
"Young Master Cousin, please, the old lady has sent someone to ask a few times, you can count it as coming." The porter read Jianghuai's invitation and bowed down to invite people in.
Zhang's mansion is a scholarly family, the building in the park is very elegant, and there are stone paintings painted on the ground, which are lifelike, just like people walking in the painting.
Walking to the outside of Shoutang, I saw that the ceiling hanging in the courtyard was not a longevity tent made of silk, but a piece of framed blank rice paper, which was full of auspicious words such as "Pengdao Chunai" and "Shouyu Kaixiang", all of which were inscribed by the guests who came to congratulate the birthday, and the courtyard exuded a faint fragrance of ink.
"Young Master Cousin, can you leave Mobao conveniently?" A number of desks are placed in the courtyard, and pen, ink, paper, and inkstones are placed on the tables, and guests can take off the rice paper inscriptions.
"I'm tired, let's take this one." Jiang Huai smiled slightly, and pointed to a three-foot rice paper framed in the middle hall.
"Yes." The servant in the courtyard took down the paper and was about to put it on the table, but was stopped by Jiang Huai.
"You can help me squeeze one side of the scroll on the bamboo stem." Jiang Huai saw that there were a few Xiangfei bamboos in the courtyard, so he said casually.
"Young Master Cousin, but you want to write calligraphy in the air?"
"Exactly."
The guests on the side were all taken aback when they heard this, and then showed contempt. Calligraphy is about bearing and strength, hanging paper calligraphy is more difficult to achieve calligraphy, what is needed is not only the courage to put down the pen, but also the understanding of the techniques of calligraphy expression. Jiang Huai is young, even if the basic skills are solid, it is impossible to write the effect of penetrating the back of the paper, it is just grandstanding.
The servant did not dare to slack off, and tied one end of the scroll, and put the other end in Jiang Huai's hand.
Wu You picked out a wolf hair, dipped it in ink on the ground ink inkstone, and then squeezed out the excess ink on the inkstone and handed it to Jiang Huai.
Jianghuai's left hand is suspended in the air, the right hand holds the pen, between the rice paper exhibition, the right foot is lifted on the toes, transported to the front heel and stops, and then the weight of the whole body is slowly moved to the left foot, the door is forward, the center of gravity falls on the left foot, the pen is like a dragon, full attention, all in one go.
The pen is written as you like, and the poem is made on paper! The dragon flew and the phoenix danced indulgently, and a poem fell on the paper in an instant:
The chrysanthemum on the stage is late and now it is blooming, and the laurel in front of the hall is fragrant after the evening.
The immortal Weng is planning to be deep and long, waiting to see Sun Zengwat full of beds.
People stand by the bamboo, this situation and this scene, so that the onlookers are stunned, silent.
