Chapter 57: There Are Words of Suffering
The next day, the sky was clear, and it was the Lantern Festival.
The red lanterns have been hung all over the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the servants and maids in the Mansion are joyfully arranging the utensils needed by the guests from afar on the Lantern Festival.
Hongying stretched her waist and felt that this day was a good time, so she caught a pigeon from the west chamber, stuffed the small note written in advance into the pigeon's leg, and released him.
As soon as Chu Luo woke up, he was out of control by her curiosity about her sneaky whereabouts, so he followed her to take a look, and when he saw her release the pigeons, he felt that there must be adultery in it!
So he followed the pigeon to a place where there was no one, whistled lightly, and called back the pigeon that he had raised since he was a child, and betrayed Hongying.
In these years, the pigeon's elbow is turned inward!
Chu Luole thought about it, opened her small note, and saw that it read: "Cousin, see you in the back garden of Xiangfu tonight!" Chu Luo subconsciously frowned, eager to tear up this letter paper of Hongying and Gu Siming's private meeting under the moon, but to catch the thief and catch the traitor, he needs to be patient and lure them out.
Thinking so, Chu Luo put the note back untouched and returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion with a calm face.
Qi Wenhao, who had settled down with his fellow villagers, ran to the Prime Minister's Mansion this day and asked to see the county lord of Anxi. Just as Hongying went out, he greeted the doorman twice, asking him to let Qi Wenhao into the house when he saw him in the future.
led Qi Wenhao into the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Hong Ying asked him, "Have you found Ah Niu?" ”
Qi Wenhao shook his head and said: "I specially dragged someone to inquire, Ah Niu took the silver you gave him back to his hometown, and wanted to find his fellow villagers, who knew that the river suddenly got out of control, and it seemed that the village was flooded again. ”
Hong Ying sighed and said: "If I knew this, I should have helped the villagers and let them settle down in the suburbs of Beijing!" She selfishly thought that the countryside, her childhood memories, could be preserved by luck, but she didn't, so Ah Niu disappeared!
Qi Wenhao comforted her and said, "Ah Niu is stupid, stupid people have stupid blessings, they will be safe, you don't have to feel guilty." ”
Hongying asked him again: "How are the villagers, the winter is cold, and there is plenty of food?" When Qi Wenhao said this, his face was full of sadness, and he said: "A few days ago, there were people from the Spirit King's Mansion covering us, and you left a lot of money, and you can deal with it." It's just that I don't know when it started, the village was robbed, and the 200,000 taels of silver tickets disappeared, so we had to rob some rich people privately and barely survive. ”
Hong Ying's face was pale, her eyes were cold, and Qi Wenhao, who saw it, was drenched in cold sweat, and only heard her say: "Thief? Have you found out who it is? ”
Qi Wenhao shook his head in shame and said, "I don't have a clue at all!" ”
Hong Ying snorted: "Dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head, this thief's courage seems to be greater than me, after the Lantern Festival, I will personally go over, remember not to let anyone go, I want to see whose hand is itchy!" ”
Qi Wenhao was shocked by her sudden momentum, after all, Hongying was a yellow-haired girl who was chased by him, but now she can be on her own, what kind of environment was born and what kind of person she created.
Hongying's red transformation, he should be happy for her, but there is indescribable loss and sorrow in his heart?
At this time, the Xiangfu family came over in a hurry, blessed Hongying, and said, "County Lord, Xiangye has something to look for you." Hong Ying nodded, said goodbye to Qi Wenhao, and said, "You are here now, and I will ask someone to send some silver taels later, no matter what, the victims will not be hungry!" ”
Although she has no compassion, she is not used to seeing others suffering, and now she can only use her pension to cushion her.
Hong Ying met Xiang Ye, Chu Luo was also in Xiang Ye's room, Hong Ying glanced at Chu Luo, and Chu Luo immediately killed her back with a hateful gaze, making her inexplicable.
And Xiang Ye sipped the black tea lightly and said with a kind smile: "Today is the Lantern Festival, you all stay to spend the festival with me, an old man, as for the Lantern Festival, you will still have the opportunity to participate next year!" ”
Chu Luo immediately looked like a fried rooster and said, "Grandfather, I refuse to sit at the same table with Hongying!" ”
When Hong Ying heard this, she also wanted to be a kitten with her tail stepped on, and her beautiful eyes turned to him and said, "That's just right, lest I have no appetite, can't eat, and be choked by you!" ”
She didn't mess with him, did she? Give her a look early in the morning, and think she is a former village girl and a hillbilly? She is now the county lord and county lord, even if it is an iron hen with phoenix feathers, she has a temper! Because it's plugged in with phoenix hair!
"......" Chu Qingxiang was full of black lines, a few days ago, he saw that these two children were close to each other, and they were full of affection, how could they suddenly be hostile today?
"Anyway, you'll have to stay and deal with the guests tonight." Chu Qingxiang had no choice but to say resolutely.
"Anyway, I just don't want to smell the air being trampled by her!" Chu Luo's mouth said poisonously.
Hong Ying immediately retorted even more viciously: "No matter what, I also refuse to sit at the same table with this kind of guy with sores on the top of his head and pus on the soles of his feet!" ”
"Chu Luo!" Chu Qingxiang raised his voice unhappily, "Grandfather, I am an old bone, you let me fight with a group of young people, do you want to be angry with your grandfather?" ”
Chu Luo lowered his head and said, "It's not impossible for me to enter the table, as long as you don't see her!" "He doesn't want to sit at the same table with this woman who has a set of watery poplars on the surface and a set of watery poplars behind her back!
"If you don't sit at the table, you won't be seated, and I'm not from this family anyway!" After she finished speaking, she ran out in tears. Chu Qingxiang blew his beard and glared at his grandson with hatred and hatred: "Turtle grandson, chase after love, you can only miss this attitude for the rest of your life!" ”
"Grandfather, you are really old and confused, and you actually call yourself a turtle! Besides, which eye of yours sees that I am interested in that woman, and I treat her well, but I think that she is as pitiful as I am without a father or mother! Chu Luo seemed to be still angry, and he didn't even look at who the person in front of him was, so he lost his temper together!
If it were an ordinary person, Chu Qingxiang would definitely scold his grandson for being unfilial, but Chu Qingxiang looked at her with his beard and raised his eyebrows, and said, "The wings are hard!" Not bad, if you use such courage to confess to your sister-in-law, even if you can't take her, you can leave yourself in her memory, you look at Gu Siming and Sima Ting, which one is not for Hongying's hard work. ”
Chu Qingxiang said with the posture of educating the younger generations: "Gu Siming, in order to give Hongying a future, he worked sleepless day and night to review official documents and do his duty; Look at Sima Ting again, reading and practicing martial arts day and night, for what? Isn't it so that he can win the title of civil and military champion in the Battle of Chunqiu? What about you? What did you do? What have you done? I moved here for you, grandfather, who is close to the water, and you are still stunned to watch others subtly move Hong Ying, and then push Hong Ying to others? ”
Chu Luo had already lowered his head in shame, and retorted weakly: "Grandfather, I ......"
"You want to say that you have no intention of Hongying, right?" Chu Qingxiang was angry with him this time: "The authorities are obsessed with bystanders, are your grandfathers and your stepparents blind?" Now you are the only one who can't see the truth! ”
Chu Qingxiang took a sip of tea and continued: "Grandfather warns you, don't think that you can take her down steadily by writing a few words, if a woman has been unpredictable about your thoughts, she will not wait for you to go down, and when you know that you regret it, you find a place to cry, don't appear in front of your grandfather!" ”
Chu Luo had a sense of embarrassment that someone had spied through his mind, he thought he had hidden his mind well, but he didn't expect it to be self-deception.
But he couldn't swallow this breath, and he had Hongying and Gu Siming go on a date.
Before he confessed to her, he had to at least bulldoze the vines around her.
Chu Qingxiang himself was not easy to come forward, so he asked Lu Shanshan to comfort Hongying and told her to attend at night, he had never treated her as an outsider. As for Chu Luo, he is that kind of character, after Hong Ying left, he also scolded him, the Xiangye, and finally was taught a lesson by him, Hongying heard that Chu Luo also scolded the Xiangye, and turned from sadness to joy with a poof, and said to Lu Shanshan: "The best way to let Chu Luo's wrongdoer have a bitter and unspeakable anger is to go against his wishes, he wants me to go east, I will go west, and she will let him sleep restlessly at night!" ”
Lu Shanshan immediately gave a thumbs up and praised her: "I didn't expect you to open your head, and finally figured it out, it's not easy, it really adds glory to the old lady's face!" ”
On the night of the Lantern Festival, the guests who came to the Xiangfu were no less than the night banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve, and even Jin Huai, who had never appeared on weekdays, was also invited, Chu Qingxiang smiled all over his face, and said: "King Pingnan, come here to make the cold house shine!" ”
Jin Huai also patted him on the shoulder politely, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a few days, the prime minister's body is really getting tougher and tougher!" ”
"For the sake of the Great Jin Kingdom, the old man will definitely bow to his death and die!" Chu Qingxiang naturally heard the meaning of scolding him for being old and immortal in his words, and skillfully changed the topic.
And these words are in the ears of others, and they all feel that the king of Pingnan and the prime minister are really the kings together, and the heavens and the earth are peaceful and happy!
At this time in the early Jin Dynasty, he stepped forward to greet him and said, "I've seen Xiangye!" ”
Chu Qingxiang naturally knew whose idea Jin Chu was fighting, but in front of Jin Huai, he had to save face for him, and said: "Sure enough, generations of young talents have emerged, the old man is really old!" ”
Jin Huai laughed and was noncommittal.
At this time, Hong Yingcai walked in slowly from outside the door, her three thousand green silk with red silk thread pulled up, coiled into a net, youthful and playful, inserted a red hosta hairpin at the end of the hair, hanging the East China Sea Pearl strung of Yingluo headdress, a cool red dress, sleeves and trouser legs are tied with red silk thread, pure and charming, quiet with a bit of hot taste, look at everyone's eyes bright.
After all, it is also a pleasure to see the beautiful outfits of the ladies who are used to seeing the embroidery of robes, and suddenly look at this kind of outfit with the pride and narrow taste of the children of the rivers and lakes.
Chu Luo didn't expect her to appear so vigorously, and she did it next to him with great fanfare, looking at him provocatively.
