Chapter Seventy-Six: Xiao Xuan Dies
After the servant woman finished speaking, she left, leaving the monk who was left behind in the second place of Shen Jing, who was confused.
His Royal Highness the King of Qi Shen Jing had heard of this person, and Liang Ju had talked to him more than once about this person, saying how he was favored by the emperor, saying that he was an idle prince, and that he loved elegant things.
But speaking of which, this prince has no friendship with her Shen Jing! It's strange for someone who has no friendship to give her food, and she chooses to fall asleep at this time, how can it be puzzling, right?
The incomprehensible Shen Jing stared at the plate of fragrant food for a while, saying that the King of Qi was informal, but this was really inappropriate in the ancient times of male and female defense.
Situ Wenxuan also felt that his behavior was inappropriate, because he brought people over to hunt yesterday and caught a few game, and let the cook cook eat it, which tasted very good. Because he also likes to share on weekdays, and he drank more wine that night, he heard that the owner of the Zhuangzi next door was also there, so he sent it over.
The king of Qi, who was sobered up, reacted to this, so he called the next person who delivered the meal to talk back, and after knowing the reaction of the owner, he thought about how to remedy it, and after thinking for a while, he didn't come up with anything.
Naturally, Shen Jing didn't delve into it, she didn't eat that plate of game at all, and gave it to her subordinates.
The next day, Shen Jing didn't bother about this matter anymore, what she was worried about was who to let be the new head of Hejia Village. Later, she directly asked the villagers to elect themselves, but she quickly found a new village head.
Shen Jing also adopted a strategy of grace and power against Xinzhuangtou, suppressed it, and rewarded some money. As for He Yong, Shen Jing asked him to send him back to the Shen Mansion for the Gan family to dispose of.
When Shen Jing got married, Gan was afraid that Shen Jing would not be able to handle the subordinates, so he did not give her the identity deeds of all the dowry personnel, and the identity deeds of He Zhuangtou were still in Gan's hands.
There were no chores, Shen Jing was idle for a while, and went outside with a few servants again, and just after he went out and walked, he saw a team of people walking from Zhangjiaying to the official road.
"It seems to be His Royal Highness King Qi." Qiu Yan said in Shen Jing's ear.
Shen Jing stopped, thinking that he would let people go. At this time, there was a person riding a horse in the distance and walking towards Shen Jing, and when he got closer, Shen Jing saw that this was the person from Houfu, and it was Liang Ming beside Liang Ju.
In the past few days when Shen Jing came out, Liang Ju sent Liang Ming over every day, first, to talk about some things in the house, and secondly, to ask Shen Jing about the situation here.
Shen Jing watched Liang Ming approach, and was a little puzzled why Liang Ming came much earlier than before.
Liang Ming's horse stopped five or six meters away from Shen Jing, turned over and dismounted, and walked in front of Shen Jing in a few steps.
Shen Jing panicked for no reason, and immediately asked, "But what happened in the house?" ”
Liang Ming nodded and said to Shen Jing, "Is Miss Xiaoxuan going?" Madame said she was your handmaiden, and she had to let you go back and see it. ”
"What do you mean Xiao Xuan went? Where did she go? Shen Jing didn't know what to do.
Liang Ming looked up at Shen Jing and said cautiously, "Little Xuan girl...... She's dead. ”
"What?" Shen Jing didn't seem to believe his ears, "How can a good person die?" Your young master asked you to coax me? ”
Liang Ming looked at Shen Jing's expression and knew that things were not as simple as he thought, so he immediately knelt down, "The villain doesn't dare to coax the master." ”
"What's going on?" Shen Jing obviously cried when he asked.
Before Liang Ming could answer, Shen Jing instructed the people behind him: "Hurry up and prepare, and go back to the house immediately." ”
Qiu Yan was already crying, "Miss, why did Sister Xiaoxuan die?" ”
Due to the urgency of the situation, the carriage was immediately prepared, and Shen Jing didn't go back to the other courtyard, but got into the carriage directly.
The carriage went quickly, and Shen Jing instructed Liang Ming: "In front is the frame of His Royal Highness King Qi, you go forward to ask for a crime, saying that we have something urgent to go first, please let him go." ”
Liang Ming listened to the order to ride his horse, and after a while, he came back and replied, "His Royal Highness King Qi let us go first." ”
With Situ Wenxuan's informal temperament, it is natural to let people go first. Shen Jing listened to Liang Ming's reply, picked up the curtain and looked forward, and sure enough, he saw King Qi's carriage walking to the side of the road.
Shen Jing's carriage quickly arrived at King Qi's car, because the road was narrow, the two cars walked very slowly when they met, Shen Jing thought for a while, and said loudly: "Thank you, Your Royal Highness King Qi." ”
Situ Wenxuan in the car was stunned for a moment, listening to her nasal voice, thinking that something must have happened at home, so he cried. "You're welcome," he paused, and added, "All things, good or bad, will pass." ”
Shen Jing might as well that King Qi would persuade her like this, stunned for a moment, and replied: "What His Royal Highness King Qi said is that thank His Royal Highness King Qi for explaining." ”
As he spoke, the carriage had already overtaken the front, and Shen Jing naturally didn't hear anything more from King Qi, but Situ Wenxuan didn't say anything either.
It only took half a day, and Shen Jing and his party went back to Houfu, because they were in a hurry and it was inconvenient to talk to Liang Ming, so Shen Jing didn't ask about Xiao Xuan, and was only sad in the car.
The first person Shen Jing came to see was Xiao Xuan, she really cared about herself, and Shen Jing regarded her as a sister. Because she was careful, before going out this time, Shen Jing left her and Mother Hu to take care of Yiyuan, obviously she was a good person before coming to the other hospital, why was she gone?
Liang Ju saw that Shen Jing came back so soon, his eyes were still red, and his heart suddenly clenched. He stepped forward to help her, and blamed the servant: "Why are you in such a hurry? Don't you let your master rest? ”
"Don't blame them, I insisted," Shen Jing thought about Xiao Xuan, and then asked, "How did Xiao Xuan die?" When was this? Where are the people now? ”
Shen Jing asked and asked and tears kept flowing down, Liang Ju frowned when he saw this, how could his heart be sad like this, it was not in his expectation!
"I wasn't there yesterday evening, but now it's in the small courtyard on the west side, and I plan to pull it to bury it later."
Liang Ju finished speaking, and saw that Shen Jing had already turned around and was about to go to the West Chamber, Liang Ju frowned deeper, and grabbed Shen Jing and said: "There is vacant all year round, and the musty smell is very big, what are you going to do?" Besides, people are dead, and there is nothing to see. ”
Shen Jing shook off Liang Ju's hand, walked firmly towards the west chamber, and said as he walked: "I'm going to see people, I don't have the art to bring the dead back to life, of course I'm not going to save her." ”
Liang Ju followed in a few steps, and Shen Jing mocked: "There is a musty smell there, you better not follow me, so as not to stain your nose and eyes." ”
Of course, Liang Ju followed, but he still persuaded: "When people die, there are filthy things around them, don't go over!" ”
Shen Jing was too lazy to talk nonsense, and he was not in the mood to explain to Liang Ju, he was already sad in his heart, Liang Ju chattered in his ear again, and said irritably: "You don't have to worry about me, I won't die without her." ”
The weather was a little cold, but the corpse didn't smell much. Xiao Xuan's body was placed in the center of the room, with a straw mat and a white cloth covering.
Shen Jing walked to the side of the corpse, but suddenly froze, not daring to make any further movements. Some things are known to be facts, but you don't want to believe them, so you don't want to peel off that cloak to verify them.
Qiu Yan, who had been silent, squatted down and lifted the white cloth, Xiao Xuan's body was presented in front of Shen Jing, and Shen Jing's tears rolled down.
Shen Jing stayed quietly beside Xiao Xuan's corpse for a long time, and before leaving, he said to Mama Liu, who had been following her, "I want to bury her." ”
Shen Jing wanted to go back to the main house to try this matter, and on the way, he saw a person kneeling in front of the door of the main house, and when he got closer, he saw that it was Liang Ju's concubine Guan Ling.
Shen Jing was a little puzzled, and when he was about to ask the reason, he heard Liang Ju on his side open his mouth first: "What are you doing here kneeling?" Hurry up. ”
"The concubine is here to plead guilty to his wife." Guan Ling didn't get up, looked up at Shen Jing, and said timidly.
Liang Ju stepped forward a few steps to pull her, but Guan Ling avoided it, and Liang Ju relieved dissatisfiedly: "You didn't mean to. ”
Shen Jing glanced at the two of them indifferently, bypassed them and went up the steps, and said to Qiu Yan as he walked: "Go and call Mama Hu to talk back." "Judging from the current situation, in the matter of Xiao Xuan, the only person Shen Jing can fully trust is Mother Hu.
Shen Jing's actions made Liang Ju and Guan Ling stunned, Liang Ju reacted for a second, let go of Guan Ling's hand, and said "Hurry up," and then stopped caring about her and followed Shen Jing into the main house.
Guan Ling looked at her hanging hand and was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt sad and ridiculous, she was still kneeling on the ground, her head down and she didn't know what she was thinking, and after a while, she shed a few tears.
Guan Ling not only didn't get up, but also changed directions, kneeling facing the main house, and didn't speak.
Guan Ling's actions were all under Shen Jing's eyes, Shen Jing suddenly sneered, Liang Ju looked over when he heard the sound, but saw that she had regained her calm look, and she didn't say anything, just stared at Guan Ling outside the house and was stunned.
preemptively, it also depends on whether she Shen Jing is still in her mind.
Shen Jing squinted at Liang Ju again, and saw him frowning and staring at Guan Ling outside the house, and sneered again, when Liang Ju heard the sound and looked at it again, Shen Jing also didn't smile, looked at Liang Ju and said: "This sun is spicy enough, if you feel sorry for her, let her go back quickly." ”
Shen Jing suddenly remembered He Yong, and said in his heart, how can these people like to come to this trick, he was a little angry at the moment, and said sarcastically: "Aunt Guan is here to ask for guilt, and she didn't say anything wrong, fortunately, I just came back from Zhuangzi, otherwise it would be misleading for people to take the concubine!" ”
Guan Ling was stunned for a moment, raised her head and was about to explain, but saw that Shen Jing had a cold face, and then listened to her: "Don't say it when you should say it, I don't want to listen to it now, go down!" ”
Guan Ling couldn't decide what Shen Jing was thinking, and looked at Liang Ju as if asking for help. Seeing this, Shen Jing said to Liang Ju again: "You have been watching, I didn't bully her." ”
Liang Ju was a little annoyed with Guan Ling, and said in a deep voice: "Hurry up!" ”
Guan Ling reluctantly stood up, thanked Shen Jing, and looked at Liang Ju again before leaving.
Shen Jingquan wanted to ask Liang Juguan Ling why this was, but when he saw Qiu Yan and Hu's mother coming together, he gave up.
