Chapter 075: Human Whispers (5)
It's not a long story, but it's moving.
And it's a tragedy.
That Hui Niang died, and that Prince Xiao also fell into the water and died. After their deaths, their tears turned into a tree. The fruit that bears fruit on the tree is called acacia beans.
Autumn Wen couldn't bear to listen to it anymore.
Ximo couldn't bear to talk about it. Strangely enough, this story, to him, did not like very much. Because he felt that this Hui Niang was too weak, and this Prince Xiao was also very incompetent. As the crown prince, he can't protect a woman's thoughtfulness, and he is really ashamed of his deep affection for Huiniang.
But today, he wants to tell Autumn Pattern.
Ximo already regretted it in his heart. If you want to get close to Autumn Pattern, so that she is no longer informal, you can talk about other topics. For example, those loves that have a happy ending.
Love?
Ximo was stunned.
He...... Did you inadvertently want to hint at something about autumn patterns?
However, he also deliberately hinted at autumn patterns, but he didn't know it.
It's too early.
In his heart, he still had the idea of changing the society. It's already good to get along like this.
Ximo said: "It's windy outside, let's go back." Vegetables can be planted day by day, every three or five places. It doesn't have to be so attentive. ”
As soon as these vegetable seedlings were mentioned, Qiu Wen opened the conversation again.
She is indeed half an expert in planting vegetables and fruits. Ximo walked with her and listened attentively. "I think if you have these skills, you can survive no matter where you go. But I am not as good as you. ”
"Uncle, how could you not be ...... Not as good as me? "Autumn Pattern changed the word 'slave' to 'I'. Ximo smiled with her.
The two have a certain sense of heart-to-heart.
"I'm telling the truth. You are very capable, don't belittle yourself. A person, no matter what the circumstances, must look up to himself. ”
When he said this, he was exhorting himself, but he was also exhorting others.
After his mother became a monk, he did not understand human affairs. Babbling, toddler. Then, Yuquan was born. Then, three younger sisters were born.
The eldest aunt opened her face before Aunt Sun, but she gave birth to a child later than Aunt Sun.
For a long time, he spent it in depression. Everyone ignores him and ignores his existence. Everyone in the house thought that once the lady went to the temple to practice, she would have to reconcile with the master. This so-called sister-in-law is far less expensive than the second master of Yuquan.
The old lady also only called an old aunt to come and take care of him.
In Ximo's heart, the so-called family members are all cold-blooded people. When I grew up, I experienced things and went out to broaden my horizons, but this hidden pain in my heart grew with age.
He didn't really forgive his grandmother, he forgave his mother.
In his heart, he is even more alienated from his father Shi Yuan.
At a very young age, he told himself that he had to be strong. Even for the sake of the old aunt's occasional smiling face with him, he still has to feel the beauty of this life.
In the end, those cold and bitter days survived by themselves.
"Autumn pattern, trust me. There are miracles in this world, many, many miracles. Many stories can see the beginning, but you can't guess the end. Don't think that if you become a maid, your life will be hopeless. As long as you work hard, life is full of surprises. ”
Ximo's words warm people's hearts.
Qiu Wen was very moved: "Uncle, in fact, I am not arrogant. Even when I first entered the mansion and received that beating, I never gave in. ”
Speaking of which, Ximo felt guilty when he thought of this. In other words, it was his actions that led to Akimo's beating. If he hadn't called Li Xiangui and asked him to preside over the interrogation, Qiu Wen Xing might not have been beaten.
He has always blamed himself for this, deeply blamed himself.
Although Mrs. Pan and her daughter were in prison, the board really hit Qiu Wen's body. Ximo's heart hurts when he thinks about it. Recently, he also secretly investigated Li Xiangui. It is reported that the old lady asked Wang Zixing to take stock of some gifts received by relatives. Some things that should not be kept are simply sold at a discount. The person who handled it was Li Xiangui. Wang Zixing asked Li Xiangui to take out those account books, but Li Xiangui actually said that it was old and cumbersome, and all of them were lost.
When the prince heard this, he was very angry. He and Li Xiangui have always been a little dirty. So he told the old lady about it.
The old lady naturally beckoned Li Xiangui to come over and ask. I didn't want Li Xiangui to bite back, saying that these account books had already been handed over to Wang Zixing. The prince had no evidence, so he had to scold Li Xiangui for framing him, scolding him for not being a good person, and if he became an official, he would be a big traitor.
The old lady transferred the two of them to their posts.
Whoever tells the truth and who lies will always show his feet in a new position. These chief bookkeepers, who have been in charge of the house for many years, have accumulated a lot of money for each other, and they are not poor. For example, this Li Xiangui is still a slave, and he has a wife and children at home, and he has raised an outer room outside, and he still goes to visit Fireworks Willow Lane when he has nothing to do, these old ladies know it. It's just that she looks at people, and she has always had advantages, and she also uses their strengths.
If Li Xiangui is not clean, then Wang Zixing is no better.
After changing the position, the people who are doing things below are not familiar with it, and they will inevitably have resentment, and they will inevitably poke out the unfair things that shared the spoils before. This Shifu looks at the scenery, but in fact, it is festering underneath. If it rots from the bottom, step by step, rots to the rhizome, then even if Shi Fu looks at the flowers, the luck is actually over.
On the one hand, Mrs. Shi hopes that the family will always be rich and noble, and on the other hand, she hopes that her son's official son can be smooth and prosperous. But the treacherous situation in the middle of the court is not something that an old woman in her family can predict. There are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and in the event of a copy or other calamity, you can still survive with the money in your hand. Therefore, now you can be thrifty, but you can save some money.
Cutting people in the family is the first step after the old lady's search.
Wang Zixing, Li Xiangui and other family leaders, I didn't know that the old lady's pace was so fast, and she didn't know how to restrain at all.
This matter, except for the old lady, is clear to Ximo.
How does Ximo know? The old lady didn't elaborate. He guessed it.
If he didn't expect to be wrong, after the silver was collected from the person in charge of everything, the next step would be Aunt Sun's turn. Grandmother didn't know him, but he knew grandmother. Grandmother didn't believe in anything with anyone. She is more of a use of Aunt Sun.
Aunt Sun is not a fuel efficient.
Come to think of it, the house will be lively again.
Grandmother many. She searched for people and things, all after her father Shi Yuan went to Beijing. As soon as my father returned, the old lady pretended to be kind and magnanimous, and everyone was in harmony.
Li Xiangui, although he is good at disguise, Ximo still suspects him.
His suspicion is different from that of the old lady, Ximo is suspicious that this Li Xiangui is doing something outside the inside. All things will be proof. He didn't want to startle the snake first.
In other words, the snow goose (Ying'er) handed over shit luck. It's not too old. The wife at home failed to give birth, and she was ashamed in her heart, so she willingly moved to another courtyard, just seeking to be quiet, and didn't care about her husband's backyard at all.
The rest of the concubines saw that the snow geese were favored, and they were naturally jealous. Several people joined forces and played some small tricks, not wanting to be seen through by the snow geese. was too merciful, punished these concubines, and moved another courtyard to Xue Yan, which was almost the treatment of a deputy lady. Because the snow goose changed her name and surname, outsiders don't know the inside story, and they don't know that this snow goose is the girl who was kicked out of the house by the Shi family that day.
This snow goose is in Jiangcheng Taishou Xue Rencun's home, and the life of the life is really one heaven and one underground. Nor is that true. In the end, Shi Fu didn't starve her, and she ate and drank well. But this snow goose stored hatred in his heart, remembered the old things, and turned up a monstrous wave of hatred in his heart, so he just wanted to ask someone to catch Qiu Wen and beat him to death immediately. No, and it's not just her, but also Qilan. Snow Goose suffered Qilan's loss, and she couldn't wait for her to die.
The snow geese slept in the room during the day, waiting for the Taishou to come back. When I heard the little girl's report, I changed my clothes, dressed up in flowers, and put on the dishes. When Xue Rencun came, he drank wine with him, had fun in the room, and hummed a few words in his mouth when he was interested. Xue Rencun likes it even more.
This snow goose is proud, but because she knows Braille, she doesn't practice the girl underneath, and from time to time, she also gives favors. This trick is extremely useful. After a short time, some of the girls and mothers-in-law in Xue Rencun's family flattered Xue Yan when they saw it, and no one didn't say good things about her.
On this day, the weather was a little warm, and the snow goose sent a mother-in-law and a girl to ride parallel to her in the car and go to Panlong Temple to burn incense. Although she has not been in the same room with Xue Rencun for a long time, she still prays to the Bodhisattva and gives her a big fat child.
This snow goose also knows that he can't see the light, and he has to keep a low profile when he goes out to meet people. Therefore, she only asked the maid to burn incense on her behalf, and she herself wore a thick brocade jacket in a secluded place behind the temple to breathe. In fact, when I used to sing operas, I often came out to play when I had nothing to do. She is used to following the class master. Xue Yan heard Jiangcheng Taishou say that although the place of Panlong Temple is a little remote, the pilgrims who come and go are all wives and ladies of rich and noble families. The snow goose was moved. With her status, she should have kept a low profile and settled in the inner house. The less people you see, the better.
But she still has the heart to make friends with wealth. Human desires grow little by little. A few days ago. She found Jin Niang around the corner. Jin Niang was surprised and delighted to learn where she went. After the two met at an inn, Jin Niang held Snow Goose's hand and said that she had calculated her breath.
"Jiangcheng Taishou is a state official. You're a dignified state official. Ying'er, really, I didn't look at you. ”
Jin Niang actually hooked her up.
Xue Yan also took out the silver as a gift, and said fiercely: "It's all that Qilan and Qiu Wen hurt me." Although I have a good life, I still don't see the light of day. Now you go back and tell Manager Li where I am. You are my benefactors, and I will not forget you when I have gained good. ”
Jin Niang nodded busily.
Now Li Xiangui is having a hard time in Shifu. When he came over last night, he had already revealed his intention to leave in the pillow, and he couldn't find a suitable next home.
After saying goodbye to the snow goose, Jin Niang returned to her residence, and Li Xiangui came over in the evening, and Jin Niang told him about Ying'er. Li Xiangui couldn't believe it at first. He had a lot to do, he never went to his hometown, and he didn't find a suitable buyer for Ying'er. Leave things to rest for now. I never thought that this Ying'er was a little extraordinary, but she was taken by her parents and officials in the city and became his concubine, which was unexpected.
Xue Rencun can be the Taishou of Jiangcheng, so he naturally has some backstage. This backstage is one of his former mentors. Although this person is not a popular person in the court, he has a former classmate who is also an official in the court. This classmate is now close to the official eunuch group, and the old ministers left over from the previous emperor advocate killing as soon as possible because of different political views. Xue Rencun was influenced by his mentor and hated the first emperor's party.
There are many powerful people born in Jiangcheng in the capital. These people were officials in the court, and their families were left in their hometowns. The official is much older than Xue Ren Village. Shi Fu Shi Yuan is one.
So this Xue Rencun usually behaves with his tail between his legs. is obviously a parent and an official, but once he sits in court to try the case, he finds that this one cannot be offended, and that one cannot be offended. At first, he was depressed, but later he was reminded by Menzi, and the gourd decided the case.
Li Xiangui is indeed tempted.
Rather than spending life in the Shifu, it is better to find an opportunity to slip away. There are so many things that are not clean about him. It's better to find an excuse and leave Shifu. Li Xiangui has an active brain, and if he wants to leave the Shi family as he wishes, he must have someone to help. With Ying'er matchmaking, this matter can be half done.
Today, Li Xiangui took advantage of going out to do errands and asked Jinniang to give Ying'er a message and come to Panlong Temple to meet her. Buddhism is prevalent in Tianyun country, and there are many temples inside and outside Jiangcheng. But this Li Xiangui chose the place to meet in Panlong Temple. Lady Nayu also practiced here and became a layman with hair.
Li Xiangui has Li Xiangui's truth. First, there are many pilgrims here, busy in the morning and evening, he talks to Ying'er, and no one pays attention. Second, Mrs. Yu didn't know Ying'er, and Ying'er didn't know that Mrs. Shifu was here, so there was nothing wrong with each other. And Mrs. Yu is in the temple nunnery, and she doesn't see anyone all day long. Third, Li Xiangui has other things to do in Panlong Temple.
Li Xiangui agreed with her that he would meet under the three ancient pines behind the Puji Courtyard of Panlong Temple at noon today.
