Chapter 222
The window is a red lacquer painted gold painted five-screen mirror table, there are some delicate gadgets on the mirror table, there are glass beads, coral bracelets, and a small box, if you are not mistaken, those are golden melon seeds, which were sent by the third prince to relieve her boredom.
But everything is a good thing, Qiaomei chirped, "Miss, the third son is interested in you, don't you know, when the slave went to the front to get these objects, the third son also asked the slave and maid vigorously, saying that what the young lady likes, what she does on weekdays, no matter how big or small." ”
Qiaoxi helped comb her hair, and she was always happy in her heart, they were Jin'er's big maids, so they naturally followed her to the Eagle King's Mansion, the master was kind, and the house was noble, they went to the price and raised their worth for another section, and in the future, they will be married to others, and they will definitely be higher than in Murong Mansion.
Jin'er's face was shy, she heard her mother mention a few words, she wanted to marry the Eagle King's Mansion, and she also saw the third prince with her own eyes that day, but she didn't have any opinions in her heart, after all, her mother personally selected it, and it must be reliable.
Fei'er looked at it carefully on the side, but felt that Cui'er was a little too careful, her sister was kind-hearted, and she couldn't see Mu Zhixi suffering from poverty, as for other thoughts, she really didn't have any.
It's booming, it's lively, and everyone is happy. Mu Zhixi's side was overcast and stormy. When the news of Jin'er's marriage came, Mu Ningyuan locked himself in the study, closed the door, and did not even touch the food sent to him.
Mu Zhixi was very anxious, and in less than a day's effort, a few cannons were set up on his mouth, but Mu Ningyuan still ignored it and stayed at home.
Mu Ningyuan felt that he couldn't lift up a trace of strength on his body, and on the dark ceiling, there were Jin'er's playful smiling faces, he wanted to reach out and touch it, but he couldn't reach it, he had never cared about his background before, he always thought that with hard work, he could also get ahead, give his beloved a good future, and give his sister a favorable guarantee.
When everything was lost, he suddenly realized that his background was so important, if he was also a royal noble, Jin'er would be his wife.
Under the dark night, his eyes were as dark as night, angry, unwilling, and his eyes were soaked with tears. His expression was more sad than his heart was dead, but in this dark night, he couldn't find a glimmer of light that could take him out.
Mu Zhixi dragged his tired body and cried under the window, their brother and sister have been dependent on each other since their mother died, especially when Xiao Wang married in, they didn't dare to relax at all, and those who had not survived in that kind of depressed and depressed environment and were always afraid were hard to imagine how their brothers and sisters survived.
Their father was devoted to his official career, and the affairs in the yamen were conscientious, and he was sent to and on an errand, but the time left for them was pitiful.
The grandmother in the back house, the selfishness in her bones and her greed for power, made them fall into the calculations of the Xiao Wang family again and again, and did not reach out to pull them, and when they were disheartened and wanted to move out of the Mu family, they also had to deduct their mother's dowry, and still make up for their lives, which was simply a cannibalistic Hades, and he was not worthy of being admired as an elder at all.
"Brother, you have to cheer up, we can get to where we are today, how much effort has been expended, and how much torture has been endured, do you want to let all this be in vain. These days, our food, clothing, housing and transportation, all trivial expenses, are earned by my sister one by one, and my sister is for my brother to get ahead one day. ”
Mu Zhixi wiped away her tears, she hadn't cried for a long time, she thought that the tears had already dried up in the Mu Mansion, but she never thought that she would be able to flow out again at this time.
The only person in this world who can really make her sad and cry is her brother: "Jin'er is a good girl, but brother, Jin'er's mother loves her, just like our mother cared for us at the beginning." Anyone who knows about our family affairs is reluctant to marry his daughter, after all, there is such a grandmother. ”
Mu Ningyuan didn't understand that their grandmother, when they were frustrated, would throw them far away, and even ignore them at all, and the money that could be saved, grandmother would spend it on herself.
When they have a good prospect, this grandmother will be faceless and skinless, and will crush them to death with filial piety, eager to squeeze them clean, just like their father.
His father is a foolish and filial piety, but he can't follow and learn without beads. As my sister said, Jin'er wants to be calculated and kissed by the Queen Mother, and the second aunt can fight to the death, begging Shangshufu, who has not been in contact for many years, to help, and even Princess Jin wants to give Jin'er care regardless of her previous suspicions.
Their unbearable family affairs, the miasma of the back house, how could the second aunt and Princess Jin bear to put the innocent and kind Jin'er in danger, and even the period of married life. 85
He finally lowered his hands and spread them weakly on the ground, he couldn't just collapse, he still has a sister, if he has three longs and two shorts, his sister will be dominated by his grandmother for the rest of her life, and even used to climb the relationship, marry casually, and feel creepy when you think about it.
He re-lit the candle with a fire breaker and covered it with a lampshade, which was made by his sister herself, and there were many lampshades sold on the street, and the colors were only red and white. My sister said that white was unlucky, and the red light was not very strong, so she made a light blue for him.
In order to find a very light blue, my sister bought pigments and dyed them by hand, so she had a unique lampshade on the table.
The darkness in the house disappeared in an instant, and when the candlelight reflected on Mu Zhixi's face from the window, she smiled silently, her brother understood what she meant, she turned around and went into the kitchen, she wanted to make a bowl of shredded chicken noodles for her brother. Xiao Si and the maid let out a long breath when they saw that the brother and sister were safe again.
In the Eagle King's Mansion, the air pressure is very low, the Eagle King Tieqing's face is silent, the whereabouts of the prince are now unknown, when the ink medicine comes back again, the sweat on his face is dripping, and he is eager to see the road: "Prince, the prince has news, he may follow the fleet of King Jin back to Beijing, and there are still a few days to reach the capital." ”
Eagle King Teng got up, walked hurriedly, overturned the hot tea on the table, and the hot tea that fell into his hand was unnoticed, and he took a few steps in front of Mo Yao, and helped him up: "Seriously, the news is reliable." ”
"Lord, this time it was not only our people who saw the prince appear in King Jin's fleet, but even those in Chenxi Tower saw it, but it is not clear why the prince followed King Jin's men back to Beijing, it seems that it was still secret, and King Jin didn't seem to know. It's the maid next to Princess Jin, the one named Liuzhu, who has been taking care of the world. ”
The good weather of the previous days swept away, the sky was full of dark clouds, piled up layer by layer, as if a storm was coming, the Eagle King paced back and forth in the study, thinking slightly: "No matter what medicine is sold in the gourd of King Jin and the Eighth Prince, you let our people keep an eye on it, and the prince must not have the slightest damage, otherwise, this king will never spare it." ”
The Eagle Princess personally brought the supper to the study, a familiar place, and came in again, and more than ten years have passed in a flash: "I haven't rested yet, I have to take care of my body and bones when I am old, and if there are important things in the court, just leave it to those young people to do, why do you have to do everything yourself." ”
The Eagle King's face was full of smiles, as if the person who was angry just now didn't exist at all, "The child's marriage is decided, you have to get busy, and the boss is coming back." ”
The Eagle Princess's eyes shone brightly: "The child has been found, is it hurt?" ”
The Eagle King pulled her to sit on his lap, as if he was newly married, "The child came back with King Jin's fleet, but I don't quite understand why he knew that we were looking for him, and he still insisted on going his own way, seeing that his purpose seemed to be going to Murong Mansion." ”
"Murong Mansion", it is also a coincidence, back then, Princess Eagle, Murong Ling'er, and the second aunt were close friends in the boudoir, and they talked about everything, and then Murong Ling'er had an accident, and the second aunt married into Murong Mansion, just because of Ling'er's affection, the old lady of Murong Mansion never embarrassed the second aunt.
After so many years, the second aunt suffered an unwarranted disaster, but she is still alive, Ling'er's whereabouts are unknown, whether she is alive or dead, they can't let go of it all these years, at first, Princess Eagle also asked people to look around, and the second aunt is also looking for someone with her own self-care, and there is no news of what they are waiting for, and gradually, they accept the fact that Ling'er disappeared.
"Why did the child go to Murong Mansion instead of King Jin's Mansion?" The Eagle Princess slowly, her eyes were clear, and her calm black eyes were so condensed and dark.
The next day, the belly of the fish turned white, and the red sun rose in the east, and the ground was full of golden light. In the morning, the dew drops on the flowers and plants in the courtyard are shining, and the air is fresh. The sky was washed by the rain all night, and it was incomparably blue and cloudless, which made people's mood unreasonably good.
When the waterway reached the end, King Jin's convoy was mighty, changing the low-key of the previous days. The eighth prince glanced at the carriage from time to time, it was really a heavy color and light friend, when the fourth brother was on the boat, they were in the bow of the boat, and the fourth sister-in-law was in the boat, so he didn't realize that he was redundant.
Changing to a carriage, the fourth brother actually plunged into the car, and the fourth sister-in-law Qingqing I don't say anything, and disliked him as an eyesore, let him ride a horse to lead the team, and actually let him be exposed to the wind outside the car.
In two days, it will be like the capital, the prince of the Eagle King's Mansion is still in the convoy, the eighth prince squinted, and there was some difficulty in choosing, so he was sent back to the Eagle King's Mansion, and the Eagle King naturally wanted to receive this favor, which seemed to go against the original intention of the prince.
If he goes, the people from the Eagle King's Mansion will follow, and it doesn't matter, they are protecting the prince. But the people of Chenxi Tower stared at the whole way, and they were by no means good.
