Chapter 17: Jing's mother is dead
February flies by, and the vernal equinox is approaching in the blink of an eye.
As soon as I got up from bed this day, I heard Xie Jinshuang shouting into the door, "Sister, get up quickly, I will invite you to go with you today!" β
Ben pointed to the sunny day to have a good sleep, but she didn't expect to be pulled out of the village in the morning, and the carriage traveled for most of the day, and finally arrived at the place.
As soon as she lifted the curtain, her hazy sleepiness was awakened by the sight in front of her.
Good guy, this Xie Jinshuang didn't invite herself to see the beautiful scenery, she came to open the sisters' party.
There are some extraordinarily dressed ladies standing by the river, one by one like delicate flowers, blooming on the lakeside.
On this day full of greenery and clear weather, these women stood in front of the blooming peach blossom forest in a staggered manner to enjoy the flowers, each with delicate skin, leisurely expression, beautiful eyes, and peach cheeks with a smile. On such a sunny day, the lively and delicate little girls flying kites by the lake, and sometimes swallows flying through the peach forest, this scene is amazing, and it is simply beautiful into a painting.
"This Jinyang Lake is a scenery in the royal garden, what cats and dogs can't enter, some of these sisters you have known since you were a child and some you don't know, I will tell you one by one in a while!" After finishing speaking, he pulled He Jiusheng out of the car.
"Sister Jinshuang, why did you come, everyone is waiting for you!"
"I went to pick up Sister Jiusheng!"
"Jiusheng?"
Suddenly, the eyes of more than a dozen women focused on her alone.
"If I'm not mistaken, it's the daughter of the prefect, right?"
"Looks like it's her!"
"I heard my mother say, isn't she a fool?"
"Why is she wearing a veil on her face?"
"My mother said she was crazy, why did she come here?"
"Yes, yes, yes, I also heard that she was born with a defect, but why don't I look like it......"
"It's not mutilated, I used to see my mother when I was in the palace, but then somehow it became less common."
For a while, there was a lot of discussion in the crowd, but these women did not hide it, and all the good and bad words were collected into He Jiusheng's ears. Some of the women took a few steps back, as if she had a plague on her.
"Hello sisters and sisters!" He Jiusheng thought that instead of letting them discuss it like this, it was better to take the initiative himself, "I am indeed He Jiusheng, the daughter of the prefect's family, thanks to the concern of my sisters and sisters, I did have a serious illness in the early years, and now I have recovered." But every time I think about that illness, I feel unbearable......"
Speaking of this, she pretended to cry a few times, threw out a veil and wiped the tears from her face.
In the past, I heard Jing's mother say that Zhao Qinglan had released a lot of humiliating words, so that the rumors circulating about her Miss He were more outrageous than the other, and they all relied on Zhao Qinglan to slap the wives of the princes and nobles in the name of the He family, and spit on the stars one by one.
Today, she took this opportunity to take care of Zhao Qinglan.
"What did my sister say about this?"
The so-called things gather people in groups, and the ones who play well with Xie Jinshuang must also be of the same species, seeing that their dresses are extraordinarily arrogant, they must be either favored or have status at home.
This cry, the girl in pink who asked Xie Jinshuang why she came here just now stepped forward to ask.
"What else can I say? Zuo is just that aunt bullying her! Xie Jinshuang God assisted.
As soon as they heard the word aunt, the people present really started talking again.
"I said this aunt doesn't have a good thing!"
"The last time my mother went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to enjoy the pear blossoms, the He family went to an aunt, and I didn't look at it from a distance!"
"Isn't it! She said all those things before, right? β
"She told my mother that Jiusheng is crazy like a mad dog, and he will bite people indiscriminately!"
"How can a man be like a dog! I think she's a dog! β
"She also said that Sister He killed a peacock she raised, Sister He, is this true?"
"Ahh......h I don't remember that, but when I got better, I just felt that there were many things in my old life that I couldn't remember! β
He Jiusheng looked at the various expressions on their faces with joy out of the corner of his eyes, answered a sentence from time to time, and wiped his tears with a handkerchief.
"Sister He, you have a veil on your face, isn't that aunt the ghost?"
He Jiusheng cried miserably, wiping his tears, his answer was noncommittal, and he looked aggrieved.
"It's too much! My mother really thinks highly of her, and even invites her to my house for tea! When I went back, I told my mother that she would dare to enter our house because she was anything! β
"I often see her instructing others to put something in my food, I thought it was some kind of tonic, but who knew that after eating it, I was sick for seven years......"
"Sister He, you are so naΓ―ve!"
"It's terrible, I have to tell my father and mother when I go back, I can't have anything to do with such a vicious woman in the future!"
"If you want me to say, it's not an exaggeration to kill her peacock!"
There were more and more angry people in the crowd, and it was almost to the extent that they couldn't wait to pick up the guy in their hands and go straight to Hefu to cut off Zhao Qinglan's head.
He Jiusheng is also a person who accepts it when he sees it, and after stirring a pot of muddy water, he will get it, wipe away his tears and go to pretend to persuade the sisters, one of them handed over a sunflower seed that he fried at home, met a few people, and the day passed like this.
"From now on, you will be my good sister!"
On the way home, He Jiusheng hugged Xie Jinshuang with great interest and said.
"Well, since we are good sisters, the little gadget you just gave us is a strange thing! Give me more, I'll have a lot of fun eating and playing! β
"What? You don't even have melon seeds here? β
"Melon seeds! Right! That's it! I think it's very interesting! β
"Isn't it...... Then you put so many sunflowers there as flowers? β
"Sister is talking about sunflowers? I didn't know that sunflower seeds could be fried and eaten before! β
"Hahaha...... I think I know something! β
"What's the matter?" Xie Jinshuang held the begged melon seeds and asked inexplicably.
"I want to enter the palace to sell melon seeds!!"
Today was the happiest day she had since kicking Zhao Qinglan in the stomach, so after she stepped into the villa in a good mood, she happily planned to run to talk to Jing's mother about it.
The people in Zhuangzi are very strict, and they are quiet on weekdays, and they seem to follow their prince who doesn't talk a word of nonsense, so after a long time, Jing's mother is closer to her.
On this day, the Zhuangzi was as quiet as usual, and he walked through a very beautiful flower gallery that was repaired, and he could only hear the sound of He Jiusheng humming.
But as she walked, she found that after entering the door, she didn't see the handymen who should be cleaning at this time, and things seemed to be slightly wrong, but it was possible for the people to be lazy.
Seeing his door open from a distance, and a man's figure flashed inside, He Jiusheng felt that something was not right, and ran over in a hurry, and saw Song Yanjiao and a strange man standing in the room, and the one lying in the center of them was actually Mother Jing who fell in a pool of blood.
She seemed to have been dead for a long time, and the puddle of blood on the ground had turned black, and there was a dark iron arrow stuck straight in her back, which penetrated deep into her back, and the blood stained her turquoise clothes.
