Chapter 493: A New Dilemma
The scissors cut off the silk thread, and a delicate begonia flower was completed on the small placket, and the chrysanthemum was anxious to snatch it over to watch, and praised it: "Grandma's craftsmanship is becoming more and more exquisite, with this set of spring shirts, the fourth lady is afraid that this time I will have to reward a whole roe deer for the grandmother to roast and eat." ”
In fact, almost all the coats worn by the third girl, Lan Jue's little sister, were hand-cut and embroidered by Chun Gui, but when the season changed, Chun Gui still couldn't help but make new clothes for Lan Jue, and one of her big preferences was to work with the fourth lady to dress Lan Jue up in flowers, but this set of clothes was completed, but Chun Gui's heart was full of depression.
Even the grandson was deposed, but her condition of unbalanced water has not improved in the slightest, even if it was easy to overcome the awkwardness in her heart and finally asked Qiao Zhuang for treatment, she was judged to be "the heir is difficult to obey the will of heaven", is this what a famous doctor should say? Qiao Zhuangmo is not a witch doctor, is he? The eldest grandmother has all the grudges against Dr. Qiao.
Occasionally, she would dream that she was full of envy looking at the vague-faced woman teasing the toddler, and the mood was exactly the same as when she saw the fourth uncle and mother teasing Lan Jue's little sister, very sour, and couldn't help but think that her "previous life" may have had no children, and she never really experienced the happiness of being a mother until she died, so the regret in the dream was so piercing.
If this "heir is difficult" continues, she will have to make Uncle Zhao miserable.
But the sorrow is depressed, and the spring return still sent this little dress to the courtyard of the fourth lady in person, and hugged Lan Jue, who had recently fallen in love with laughter, in his arms and "ravaged" it, not minding the little girl's "coveting" dyed her clothes all over the placket, and she was reluctant to return the fashion to the nurse.
"Sister Xin sent the maid Zangdan in her courtyard earlier and gave Sister Jue a thing, so I should be careful that Sister Er is meaning to apologize." The fourth lady pulled Chun Hui aside and whispered: "It's a small sachet that the child can hold in his hand to play, the needlework is very clumsy, and it can be seen that Sister Xin embroidered it herself." ”
"After a disturbance on Chinese New Year's Eve before the year, the second sister did not go to the garden again by grounding, and I asked Sergeant Ruan to go to the Huyou Pavilion every day to teach, and I heard Sergeant Ruan say that the second sister's heart was indeed reversed compared to before, and she was probably more or less really aware of her mistakes." Chungui talked about this, and her mood improved slightly, although the second sister still treated her coldly, but the Tao Te Ching that should be punished was handed in word for word, and she had already considered avoiding Lan Xin's grounding first, and she had to let Lan Xin contact her sisters again in order to really see if her temperament had really changed.
"In the past, it was indeed the old lady who indulged it, and the children should suffer some losses, look at the treasure girl of the Jiang family, but now where is she as stubborn as in the past." The fourth lady sighed.
Since Jiang's death, the old lady went back to her mother's house and proposed to take Jiang Junbao to live in the Taishi Mansion again, Lan Ting did not refuse, Jiang Junbao's temperament is indeed much quieter than before, as if the two of them, not to mention provocation and trouble, almost bored in the hesitant garden can not move an inch, but two days ago in the spring to go back to the Beiwang Nunnery in the garden to visit the grandmother, I was surprised to find that Jiang Junbao was also there, and saw her very respectful and standard blessing.
Grandmother Shu said that Miss Bao wanted to borrow a copy of the Taoist scriptures to calm her mind, but Grandmother Shu refused.
"A young girl's family should not live like a dead tree." These are the exact words of my grandmother.
It is true that dangerous changes and calamities can change a person's mind, but it is still difficult to say whether such changes will be a blessing or a curse.
Chungui hated the Jiang family
, so her sympathy for Jiang Junbao is also quite limited, and a Lanxin sister has already made her a lot of headaches, and she doesn't want to take on the responsibility of educating Junbao girl anymore.
But the words "dead ashes" surprised her.
The fourth lady is a temperament who doesn't care about anything, and about the grandmother, Chungui chose to ask the third lady.
The third lady was very emotional: "My mother has been bumpy for half her life, and I thought that she would be old in the palace for the rest of her life, and the Empress Dowager Meng Shengde was fortunate to be able to get married, but my mother knew the pain of being a concubine, and she really didn't have the luxury of expecting it to be smooth." Weng Dad had been separated from the old lady back then, and he needed his mother to manage the inner house of the Taishi Mansion to avoid Weng Dad's worries, and the old lady didn't seem to care about Weng Daddy's concubine.
After a long time, the mother-in-law really had a love for Weng Dad, the sister-in-law died, and the mother-in-law mourned so much, and the body was damaged and could no longer share the worries for Weng Dad. Weng's father passed away, and his mother's heart also died, and the four words of the wood were ashes, and it was the mother-in-law who inadvertently revealed her true state of mind.
Perhaps the most regrettable thing in the world is not that there is no one heart, but that you can't grow old with your head in vain, if you can walk in front, it's just that, but the rest of your life is lonely. ”
After returning from the spring, she learned that after the old lady died of illness, her grandmother was seriously ill, but she remembered the old lady's advice before her death-
Don't let me bear you a lot, on the Huangquan Road, I will go first at this time, you have to live, until the day of your death, you can enjoy the filial piety of your children and grandchildren.
Each world has its own misfortunes and shames, but also its own beauty and happiness.
People have love and hate before they can be human.
And what about the soul?
When Chai Sheng inquired about Zhang Qi's exact address in Wuqiao County, no matter how Chun Gui summoned him, the spirit of the Ying Immortal never appeared again.
Gone?
Chungui doesn't think so.
In fact, she found out from the beginning that Yingxian claimed resentment for selling her to Guanya, so that she indirectly caused her biological parents who were tortured and killed, but the resentment shown was not enough to form paranoia, Yingxian's appearance seemed to be to prompt her with some clues, but for some reason it was ordered to stop.
Who else can stop the souls of the dead?
Moreover, the sudden state of emptiness of the heart is concealed, which all shows one thing.
The future is really difficult, but Chungui is not afraid.
Even though there are ghosts and gods, but fate is still in her own hands, she can now be sure that everyone has been reborn, and the trajectory of fate has changed, such as her, is no longer the concubine of the Zhou Palace, such as Lan Ting, and Tao Fanglin seems to be the same stranger.
In this life, they work together, who says that they must not be able to completely reverse their fate? Even if they can't, the worst thing is just death, but there is already something to be thankful about, because they have been together for a period of time, and he and her have more confidants in each other's lives.
Negative is impossible, and Chungui has a more definite vision for the future.
She did not dispel the idea of letting Qu go to the Liang Shiqi Mansion, who was the commander of the Jinyi Guard at the time.
Progress was also made very quickly.
"Liang Shiqi is still close to many officials and private teeth
In the past, young servants were specially selected to be trained and taught, and used as spies to install major families, but not all servants had the qualifications to become spies, and most of the eliminated servants were called by their own families, and two maids were sent to the Shen family not long ago. ”
"The Shen family?"
"Liang Shiyan's only daughter, married to Shen Changying as his wife, this Shen Changying and Tao Xiaoshen have the same position and have a deep friendship."
Qu Chu hurriedly said: "The two maidservants who were newly sent are still skilled, but their temperament is not alert enough, Liang Shiqi specially explained to Shen Liang, saying that these two maids are placed by her side, and these two maids can be safer when traveling, Shen Liang still thinks so, saying that there are thieves at the feet of the Son of Heaven?" Liang Shiqi taught his daughter a lesson, saying that he held the position of the chief of the Jinyi Guard, and he had a lot of enmities, so that Shen Liang's family could not be careless. I told Shen Liang not to listen to Shen Changying's words this time, and sold the two maids casually. ”
"In other words, Shen Changying once casually sold the maid that Liang Shiqi gave to the Liang family?" Spring return asked.
"That's what it means." Qu Kou affirmed.
When he returned in the spring, he asked Mrs. Peng directly.
White Goose and Yingxian were both maids bought by Mrs. Peng when she was in charge of the feed, one was transferred to the third lady's courtyard, and the other was transferred to the fourth lady's courtyard.
Mrs. Peng no longer concealed it at this time: "When I bought these two maids, I really didn't expect them to be factory guard spies!" However, it did not pass the official tooth...... At that time, the old lady instructed to withhold the money from the public to support the Jiang family, and the commission charged by the private teeth was lower than that of the official teeth, and most of the important jobs would not be arranged for the slaves and maids who were purchased outside, and I bought these two maids to fill the vacancies in the courtyard of the third and fourth brothers' wives, so I didn't care whether they came from innocently or not. ”
Chungui didn't bother to investigate Mrs. Peng's old mistakes at this time, but just followed this clue to "touch the melon", and asked from his private mouth to prove that the white goose and Yingxian were indeed the slaves and maids sold by the Shen family.
It just so happened that the Taishi Mansion needed it, and Mrs. Peng first found this private tooth, and this private tooth looked around for a suitable candidate, which means that the Taishi Mansion had this demand first, and the Shen family sold the maidservant girl later.
The white goose and Yingxian entered the Taishi Mansion so "naturally".
But the private tooth didn't know why the Shen family sold the slaves and maids: "The small ones are such private teeth, and most of the goods are adopted orphan girls who are left behind, or they are poor children who are forced to sell their children and daughters without a livelihood...... The grandmother asked who introduced it? That person is a happy runner, his name and surname are not clear, and he is afraid that he is no longer in the capital. ”
At this point, the clue seems to be broken.
But Shen Changying has entered the sight of Chungui, but there is a difference between men and women, she has no way to inquire directly with Shen Changying, only to design and make friends with the Liang family first, but the Taishi Mansion has no contact with the Shen family and the Liang family.
It just so happened that Mrs. Yi was already busy bringing her niece Miss Cen to live in the capital, and she was about to organize a banquet to let the good students of Chungui test the character of her niece. ”
But it is not a coincidence, because Mrs. Yi's identity is inevitably "wide-ranging", and she can indeed have a relationship with the Shen family.
