Chapter 177: Grief to the extreme
Even if Qin Feng would comfort him every night, Bao Jingshu might not be able to listen to it, and he took someone out alone early in the morning one day.
It was just dawn on this day, and the people who came out to set up their stalls on the street had not yet put up their signboards, so Bao Jingshu led two or three little maids beside him all the way to the city gate.
When I arrived at the gate of the city, I saw two or three old ladies and old ladies wearing plain clothes and coarse cloth walking out with bamboo baskets.
Bao Jingshu felt something in his heart now, and he didn't hear the persuasion of the maids around him, so he followed a large number of people in front of him in a daze. The sheep intestine path outside the city is really not easy to walk, Bao Jingshu only looked at the people passing in front of him, but he didn't stare at his feet, and almost fell into the paddy field next to him three or four times. Fortunately, there are two dowry girls who have been with her since she was a child, otherwise she would really be embarrassed.
The old man in front walked all the way to the foot of the mountain, where there were countless tombstones, all the way up to the mountainside. The old people pushed open the door of the cemetery, and their mouths were still vibrant.
"Originally, it was said that good people have good rewards, but Lord Bao is such a good Qing official, and he has such a good relationship with his wife, but why did he end up like this." The old man let out another long sigh.
After the man kept his mouth shut. Another person was muttering to himself. "If it weren't for the fact that Master Bao had been in charge, my little son would have died in vain, and after sweeping the tomb today, I would also visit Mrs. Bao by the way, which can be regarded as a little reward for the favor we have received from the Bao family."
"That's right."
Although Bao Jingshu is a lady raised in a deep boudoir, when she came out of the temple with her mother to offer incense, she also passed by this mountain, but she thought that the back of this mountain was such a sad place.
Hearing the self-talk of the group of elderly people in front of him, Bao Jingshu suddenly felt a little trembling in his heart, the Bao family in their mouths was his mother's family? Looking at the cemetery so shabby, it seems to be for civilians.
Even if the family of the court officials did not have much money to find a cemetery with good feng shui, the court also had a few plots of land specifically pointed out for the officials' relatives to bury.
And now that my mother is buried here, my father is really for some last resort, and he has been charged with a crime that does not belong to him.
Thinking of this, Bao Jingshu felt even more dizzy, she could barely stand on her feet, and the maid Yuju beside her found that her face was pale, and her face couldn't help but show worry.
"Miss, you're not feeling well today, why don't we go back first, and come out tomorrow to inquire slowly."
Another maid, Han Yu, also echoed, "That's true, what those people said just now may not mean our family, don't think about it, Miss." If the lady and the lord were all safe and sound, and the young lady fell ill instead, wouldn't it worry them? ”
What Hanyu said always sounded very reasonable, but today she also realized how far-fetched her guess was.
"I'll just take a look, just take a look." Bao Jingshu felt as if her heart was grabbed by an invisible hand, and crystal tears kept rolling in her eyes.
She used all her strength to break free from the shackles of the two of Hanyu and Jade Pots, and persistently and stubbornly followed behind those people.
The two maids had no choice but to take her, so they beckoned the two escorts behind them to follow. Walking here from the city gate, it is estimated that it is also several miles away, and Bao Jingshu is so pampered that he has never noticed any discomfort under his feet.
It wasn't until the old man in front of her left with an empty basket that she saw black paper ashes rising in the wind next to a dead tree in the distance.
With the last trace of hope in his heart, Bao Jingshu walked in front of this tomb, but after seeing the words on the tombstone, the whole person fell into an ice cave.
"Beloved wife Bao Qin, the tomb of Qin Zitong." Bao Jingshu read out the words word by word, and the sadness in her heart suddenly overflowed her chest, making her forget to cry, but tears consciously flowed out of her eyes.
"Husband, man." The two maids were also a little unbelievable, the two of them were taken care of by her and Yansi in the mansion before Bao Jingshu left the pavilion, and if people are separated today, how many people can stand it.
"Cold rain, jade pot, come with me and worship my mother." Bao Jingshu's expression was stagnant, her eyes were empty, and only the slightly frowning subtlety revealed her state of mind at this time.
The maid accompanied her to kneel in front of Qin Zitong's grave and kowtow. The two little men stood outside and waited. After kneeling three times and knocking nine times, the fetus still knelt on the ground and did not get up, and the two maids did not dare to make any movements.
It's just that the two of them knelt behind Bao Jingshu, and they couldn't see clearly what her expression was at this time. Just knelt under the Qing Dynasty for an unknown amount of time, and as soon as the two maids were not careful, Bao Jingshu fell on the stone steps in front of the tomb.
Hanyu and the jade pot were startled and hurried to help her, only to find that the piece of land in front of her knees had been wet with tears. Bao Jingshu was lying on the ground, his eyes closed, and a pair of beautiful apricot eyes were swollen like small walnuts at this time.
"Miss, wake up!" It was the first time that the jade pot had seen someone faint with grief, but it was still her own young lady, no matter how calm and serious she was in the Qin family's mansion on weekdays, she had now lost her composure.
The two little guys outside also panicked, and after Han Yu hurriedly tried Bao Jingshu's pulse, he was reluctant to breathe a sigh of relief, and then ordered the back.
"What are you still doing? One goes to the neighborhood to see if there is anyone, no matter what kind of car, just ask them to borrow it, and give more money, it doesn't matter, if there is no nearby, let a fast runner go to the city to call someone, it is better than standing there in a daze. ”
"Yes." The little guy turned around and ran out, and he should get down.
Just as the words landed, Hanyu faintly heard the neighing of horses in the distance.
Called the jade pot next to him so deep, and took care of the young lady, Han Yu stood up and walked a few graves away, and saw a woman in plain clothes coming, followed by several maids and servants carrying bamboo baskets.
It seems that he should not be a bad person, but Han Yu mustered up the courage to run to him, and only when he bumped into the woman, he immediately fell to his knees. "Madam, I hope that Madame will be merciful and borrow Madame's carriage to save my young lady."
Jiang Liuyu, who originally came to worship as usual, had such an incident today, which made her a little at a loss. exchanged a look with Xiaoyun beside him, and Hanyu took a step back, so as not to tell her to kneel and fold her life, and then Jiang Liuyu asked in a voice as gentle as possible.
"Where I can help, I will naturally help, but who is your young lady? Where is it now? ”
"Thank you, ma'am, and come with me." Han Yu breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he had met a good person, and hurriedly trotted ahead. Jiang Liuyu strode to follow, but he didn't walk a few steps before he arrived at Qin Zitong's tomb.
"You, you ......" Looking at the woman who fainted on the ground in front of Mrs. Bao's tomb because she had cried for too long, Jiang Liuyu was a little surprised, and hurriedly pulled the cold rain.
"Does your young lady know Mrs. Bao, or," Jiang Liuyu didn't finish speaking, she took over the conversation, "Madam, my young lady is the only daughter of the Bao family, presumably Madam has also heard of the Bao family's reputation." ”
Hanyu deliberately said that it was rude, I wanted to find out what the attitude of the visitor was, if it was another one who was high and low, even if it took more time for his little girl to come back, it would not be good for his own young lady to fall into the wolf's mouth.
"I know." Jiang Liuyu said lightly, in fact, she was already a little happy in her heart, and Xiaoyun next to her explained to Hanyu for her.
"Don't get me wrong, my wife is the princess of King Jing, and she has always been good friends with Mrs. Bao, and everyone in the capital knows about it. If my sister doesn't believe it, if you meet Sister Yansi in the future, you can also ask her for confirmation. ”
Xiaoyun has moved Yansi out, Hanyu naturally has no disbelief, and while letting go of his heart, he is also glad that Mrs. and Miss can still have a friend who can talk in the capital.
Seeing that Hanyu had obviously believed in his identity, Jiang Liuyu squatted down, helped Bao Jingshu up and leaned on his shoulder.
With the superficial medical skills of the three-legged cat that he learned from Hua Chushi, and after roughly seeing Bao Jingshu's current situation, Jiang Liuyu asked Xiaoyun to bring a bottle of medicine and put it in front of her nose and sniffed it a few times.
"There are some soothing herbs in this, after smelling it for her, so that the young lady can have a good rest." This was originally intended for Bao Jingshu, but I didn't expect it to be used so soon.
"Miss Bao, her mood must be very unstable now, let her calm down her mood well, don't wake her up now." What Jiang Liuyu said was not unreasonable, and both the jade pot and Hanyu nodded approvingly.
"Then here are some girls and help bring the young lady to my carriage. You wait for the young lady to wake up in the palace first, and I still have something to say to your young lady. ”
Fortunately, Jiang Liuyu brought out a lot of people, and Bao Jingshu's body was relatively thin, so it was effortless to help him up. Jiang Liuyu said it very sincerely, and the two maids were not unwilling. This time, Jiang Liuyu came out to sweep the tomb, and only put incense on the pillar in front of Qin Zitong's grave, and then took Bao Jingshu back.
I don't know if it's because I got up too early today, Bao Jingshu didn't rest enough, and it has been more than two hours since I fainted, but there is still no sign of waking up.
Jiang Liuyu came over to look at it a few times, and looked at the two maids who were guarding Bao Jingshu next to her and couldn't help but beat them in a daze, she couldn't bear it, so she asked Xiaoyun to make a few snacks for them and bring tea over.
"You two came out early in the morning, so let's get some rest now. There is no one in my palace, naturally Miss Bao will have someone to serve after she wakes up, but it can't be made that people think that our palace doesn't pay attention to Miss Bao and the people around her. ”
