Text Chapter 83: Shocking News 2
However, these are just the coincidences of time, Wei Man can't understand, why did Mrs. Tai suddenly mention the current emperor, and what does this have to do with her?
Suddenly, a possibility came to mind, and Wei Man's heart couldn't help but be shocked.
His Majesty the Emperor of the present, to her today, is an unattainable figure, but to "Wei Man", who was born in the Hou Mansion and has several opportunities to enter the palace every year, it may not be unfamiliar.
Thinking of Mrs. Tai's words just now, Wei Man's body couldn't help but tremble slightly, and she felt that a layer of cold sweat had broken out on her back.
Wei Man guessed in his heart, "The former Wei Man", isn't it, what does it have to do with the royal family of the Dajing Dynasty, right?
"Back then, the first emperor wanted to marry the third prince and the fifth prince, and after you got the news, you began to leave the house frequently...... Within a few days, a chamberlain from the palace made a special trip to the house to ask for your Geng Ti...... I thought that if you could really become the concubine of any prince, you would not have insulted the door of our Zhenguo Houfu, so I turned a blind eye to everything you did...... But the result? Mrs. Tai glanced at Wei Man with a mocking face, and said in a disdainful tone: "Don't say anything about the position of the princess and concubine, you haven't even got the will of a side concubine......"
Wei Man, who was kneeling at Mrs. Tai's feet, listened in horror, she never dreamed that the "former Wei Man" would have such courage to dare to plan to marry into the royal family!
“…… After getting such a result, you don't know how to repent at all, and you still have to compete with Miss Liu San, the princess of Zhunrui," Mrs. Tai glanced at Wei Man coldly, and said angrily: "In order to win the horse race, you did not hesitate to break your leg......"
Wei Man's heart trembled.
It turned out that the horse race between "the former Weiman" and Miss Liu San at the Western Suburbs Racecourse was when "she" was extremely jealous of Miss Liu San, and she did not hesitate to hurt herself to win Miss Liu San.
Since the "former Weiman" cares so much about the competition with Miss Liu San, can it be inferred that the "former Weiman" likes the Rui Wangye?
However, the person sitting on the throne now is Prince Yan.
The corners of Viman's eyes jumped violently, and she felt a dark vortex swirling at her feet.
"Grandmother, grandmother," Wei Man's face turned pale and panicked, she knelt forward, grabbed the corner of Mrs. Tai's skirt, and said with tears in her eyes, "Grandmother said this, but granddaughter doesn't remember all of it...... I didn't expect my granddaughter to do such a wrong thing before...... Grandmother, who used to be a granddaughter who was stupid and ignorant, begged her grandmother to forgive her former granddaughter, and her granddaughter will never be ...... from now on."
"Huh! Do you think that if you don't remember a fluttering sentence, you can push everything clean? Mrs. Tai sneered, stared at Wei Man like a knife, and said, "I just told you that I disposed of your two maids, and you just looked unbearable...... Do you know that what you do, if you are not careful, will let the entire town and country Houfu accompany you to the funeral! ”
"Grandmother, granddaughter......" Wei Man couldn't argue, she pulled up the sleeve of Mrs. Tai's coat and said in a lamented voice: "Granddaughter will never be like this again......"
Mrs. Tai exerted a slight force, waved away the pull of Captain Man, and said coldly: "Several generations of the Wei family have fought with their lives on the battlefield to bring out the prosperity of the Zhenguo Houfu, if you dare to do a little more to affect the Houfu, I will not let you go......"
……
In the water jade courtyard.
Aunt Zhang, who was reclining on the warm couch, changed to a more comfortable position, she shook her feet slightly, and motioned for Xiao Tao, who was pinching her legs, to pinch another place.
“…… The slave maid has been guarding the door of Xiyuan, and after seeing the third lady come out, the slave and maid pretended to drop something, looked for it, and then gave the third lady a salute...... "The movements of Xiao Tao's hand did not stop, and she sighed in her mouth: "Auntie, didn't you see it, the third lady's face was not very good at that time, and the slave maid had never seen the third lady's face so bad!" ”
"Oh, let's talk about it carefully," Aunt Zhang asked with some curiosity, "How is the third lady's face so bad?" ”
“…… There was not a trace of blood on his face...... I seem to be a little scared, and I seem to be angry...... The slave maid can't say it very clearly, in short, the third lady can't stand steadily, and she wants the two maids of Swift and Xia Lan to support the ...... together" Xiao Tao worked hard to organize the language, suddenly remembered something, and said with joy on her face: "Auntie, the third miss must have cried in Xiyuan, the slave and maid can see it clearly, and the third lady's eyes are very red......"
"It's just a few tears," Aunt Zhang said with some disapproval, "It's normal." ”
"That's what Grandma said." Xiao Tao smiled and agreed.
"Mrs. Tai has sent someone to the Hall of Good Heart?" Aunt Zhang asked suddenly.
"I went," Xiao Tao nodded, and said, "I heard that Mother Tao went to the Good Heart Hall in person." ”
Hearing this, Aunt Zhang pouted.
Xiao Tao's eyes couldn't help but roll.
"Grandma, this is ......" Xiao Tao looked at Aunt Zhang's face cautiously, and asked in a muttered voice: "In case, in case the third miss and Mrs. Tai say, say, it was you who told her that Aunt Luo was sick, and ......."
"You're worried that Mrs. Tai will be angry with me." Aunt Zhang laughed, but the look on her face was very pleasant, not worried at all, and even asked with some expectation, sighing: "I did these things, I didn't want to hide it from Mrs. Tai, on the contrary, I was looking forward to ......."
"Ah, what kind of wind is blowing today, and it actually blew Sister Pomegranate to our Water Jade Courtyard......"
In the silent courtyard, Gu Xue's voice suddenly sounded.
Pomegranate, the second-class maid pomegranate of Xi Garden.
Aunt Zhang and Xiao Tao's conversation paused, and the two glanced at each other.
"Sister Gu Xue went to tell Aunt Zhang and Grandma Zhang, Mrs. Tai has a few words for me to pass on to Aunt and Grandma Zhang......
"My aunt and grandmother are in the inner room, Sister Pomegranate will follow me in......"
The greetings of pomegranates and Gu Xue gradually came to the curtain of the inner room.
Aunt Zhang sat up straight.
Xiao Tao hurriedly went to open the curtain in the inner room.
A round face with a friendly smile was revealed.
"I'm tired of Sister Peach." Pomegranate softly thanked Peach.
"Don't dare to be a sister's trouble, don't dare to be a sister's labor......" Xiao Tao said as she warmly welcomed the pomegranate in.
"Aunt Zhang." Pomegranate bowed.
Aunt Zhang had already gotten up when Pomegranate entered the house, and when she saw Pomegranate bowing, she hurriedly grabbed Pomegranate's arm and said with a smile: "Pomegranate girl doesn't need to be polite, the girl hasn't come to sit in my water jade courtyard for a long time, Gu Xue, go make good tea and serve ......"
"Aunt and Grandma Zhang don't have to be busy, the slave maid will go back after passing on Mrs. Tai's words......" Pomegranate didn't sit down on the brocade stool brought by Xiao Tao, she still stood, and said in a gentle, but detached tone: "Mrs. Tai said that the old marquis's removal ceremony is coming soon, so I want to ask Aunt and Grandma Zhang to copy some scriptures, and ...... when the time comes."
As soon as she heard that she was going to copy the scriptures, Aunt Zhang's legs couldn't help but tremble.
"Grandma," Xiao Tao hurriedly stepped forward to support Grandma Zhang, and asked worriedly, "Grandma, are you okay?" ”
"It's okay, it's okay......" Aunt Zhang said with a reluctant smile.
Pomegranate saw Aunt Zhang's reaction in her eyes, but her face was impassive.
"This, dare to ask Miss Pomegranate," Aunt Zhang's face was full of hope, and she asked, "Does Mrs. Tai have any instructions where do you want me to copy?" ”
Pomegranate raised her eyes and glanced at Aunt Zhang, the pity in her eyes flashed, and she smiled slightly: "Mrs. Tai has already instructed the people to take care of the small Buddha hall in Xiyuan." ”
It means that Mrs. Tai asked Aunt Zhang to go to the small Buddha hall in Xiyuan to copy scriptures.
As soon as these words came out, Aunt Zhang's grandmother's face turned pale and softened on Xiao Tao's body.
……
Manman returned to the garden.
Weyman had gone to bed.
Xia Lan, who was sleeping on the couch, got up gently, carefully lifted the curtain, and wanted to fold the quilt for Wei Man, but found that Wei Man was staring at the top of the bed with big eyes.
"Miss, you haven't slept yet?" Xia Lan said in surprise: "The slave maid thought that you had fallen asleep a long time ago." ”
"Charan." Still looking at the top of the bed, Wei Man asked softly, "Can you tell me about the first time you saw me?" ”
"First time seeing Miss?" Xia Lan sat down on the edge of the bed, paused, and then said, "Then, isn't that when Miss is injured......
"Yes, that's at that time," Wei Man turned his gaze back, looked at Xia Lan's eyes seriously, and said slowly: "Xia Lan, I know that Mother Cheng must have instructed you not to mention that time in front of me...... I didn't ask you anything before, because in my heart, I regarded that great calamity as a new life for me......"
Crossing over, for Wei Man, is a new life given by God, when she dreams back at midnight, the ups and downs of the previous life, those who are happy and those who are sad, for her, it is like watching a fold of drama, and other people's lives are staged in it......
"Miss," Xia Lan held Wei Man's hand with some concern, and asked softly, "After returning from Xiyuan, Miss's face is very bad, Miss, but what did Mrs. Tai say......?"
"It has nothing to do with grandmother...... Wei Man shook his head lightly and said with a wry smile, "I just suddenly realized that although the past things have passed, they are firmly tied to my new ......"
"Miss, slave," Xia Lan scratched the back of her head and frowned, "Slave doesn't understand what Miss means." ”
"Xia Lan, I want to know what kind of person I used to be, what I liked, what I hated, and what I wanted...... Are you kind to others, what wrong things have you done, but who you owe to anyone......" In the silent inner room, Wei Man clasped Xia Lan's hand and pleaded softly: "Xia Lan, I want to know how you first met me, can you tell me about it?" ”
