323, non-material
Wang's front foot made someone ask Xu Jing for some of Xu Shu's old things to go, and the back foot Li sent someone to invite Xu Jing back, Xu Jing intuitively felt that something was wrong with the Xu family, and he didn't dare to delay, so he hurriedly packed up and gave a pair of children and rushed back to Xu's house.
Just enter the door but find that the atmosphere at home is harmonious, there is nothing wrong, catch one or two people to ask and only say nothing, well-informed people know that the emperor rewarded two palace maids to Xu Hui, so he smiled and said hello to Xu Jing, Xu Jing looked inexplicable, only felt that it was difficult to achieve such a little thing and called himself back.
If you want to go to Chunhui Courtyard, you have to go through the Shulin Pavilion, but when you arrive at the Shulin Pavilion, Xu Jing almost didn't recognize it, is this still the previous Shulin Pavilion?
The plaque with the words "Shulin Pavilion" has disappeared, the gate is open, through the open gate, you can see that the already empty yard has been planted with flowers and trees, and a swing has been placed, and the flat bluestone slab has also been replaced with a floor tile carved with patterns, and the yard is full of vitality, which is very different from the depression that Xu Jing thought.
It seems that this is a newcomer who is going to move in, the ninth sister has only been gone for three or four months, and the family can no longer find traces of her life.
Xu Shu's substitution of Xu Ting to send the marriage has always been hidden from Xu Jing, and Xu Jing closed the door and never heard of it, until Xu Shu left Beijing, and Xu Jing followed Xu Shu's instructions to send Xu Shu's property and other things to Xiangzhu Courtyard in accordance with Xu Shu's instructions Xu Jing knew that Xu Shu had left the capital, in order not to make Xu Jing sad, Xu Shu concealed that she was forced by the Xu family to marry on behalf of Xu Ting, and Xu Jing never thought that the Xu family would be vicious to such a point, and she was not suspicious.
Xu Jing sighed, and was about to leave, when she suddenly heard a low cry in the door, and walked in with curiosity to see that it was Xu Jing, Xu Jing seemed to be immersed in her own thoughts, and didn't realize that someone was approaching, and she was still crying so sadly.
Xu Jing looked around, but she didn't see the maidservant, Xu Jing was alone, so she asked, "Tenth sister, why are you here alone?" What about Dan Fontaine Dew? ”
After not wanting to see Xu Jing, Xu Jing cried even more fiercely, Xu Jing stepped forward and pulled Xu Jing into her arms and hugged her, patting her back and comforting, "What's wrong?" Who bullied you? Say it, eldest sister, and ask for justice for you! ”
Xu Wan shook her head and sobbed, "The ninth sister is dead!" ”
Xu Jing was shocked, holding Xu Jing's hand and couldn't help but grab Xu Jing's arm, "What are you talking about!" ”
Xu Yao cried and said, "Today there are two palace maids in the house, saying that the emperor rewarded my father, I was curious, so I secretly went over to take a look, and I heard them say that the ninth sister is dead, and the emperor sent two palace maids to appease the Xu family!" I didn't believe it, so I wanted to go to my mother to ask for an understanding, but my mother went to my grandmother, and I listened to what my mother said to my grandmother, and I knew that it was true, the ninth sister died of illness in Pingliang City, and the ashes have been sent back! ”
Xu Jing staggered back, and didn't stop until her back was against the door panel, and Xiao Jiu died...... The little Jiu who would play tricks on her turned out to be dead......
How could Xiao Jiu die? How could she die? She's still so young......
Xu Jing closed her eyes in pain, tears slipped from the corners of her eyes, Xu Shu's voice and smile appeared clearly in front of her, scene by scene, clear and cruel, she was still looking forward to one day Xiao Jiu could come back, but she didn't expect her Xiao Jiu to come back......
"Why did you die of illness?" Xu Jing still couldn't accept the bad news, she couldn't believe that the energetic Xiao Jiu in her memory died like this.
Xu Jian saw Xu Jing crying, but she couldn't help it, took a handkerchief to Xu Jing to wipe her face, and said while wiping, "Ninth Sister's body is not good, last year I was ignorant, I pushed Ninth Sister, caused Ninth Sister to hit her head, and almost died, and then it was Miaofan Shitai who saved Ninth Sister, and then in order to save Eighth Sister, Ninth Sister was busy with illness for a long time, and then fell ill!" ”
"And this?"
Last year, when Xu Shu was seriously ill, Xu Jing was tossed by Sun Xiang and Zhao's affairs, and after returning to the Xu family, the matter had been settled, and the Xu family naturally had no face to tell Xu Jing this kind of thing, and Xu Shu would not take the initiative to mention it, because Xu Jing didn't know about it, and thought that Xu Shu would make suggestions for her affairs later, Xu Shu's illness must not have healed at that time, and Xu Jing's heart ached.
Xu Shu nodded and felt even more guilty, if she hadn't pushed Xu Shu last year, Xu Shu was so tired that Xu Shu fell ill, Xu Shu might not have died of illness, Xu Shu faintly felt strange that she killed Xu Shu, and she was ashamed and blamed herself, so she left everyone and came to Shulin Pavilion alone, but now that Shulin Pavilion has changed beyond recognition, Xu Shu touched the scene and couldn't help it anymore.
Unexpectedly, Xu Jing also came, Xu Jing's heart suddenly had a place to talk, and she chattered endlessly, "Originally, the ninth sister had already gone to Zhuangzi to recuperate, and at the beginning of this year, Rouran came to ask for marriage, and the emperor wanted to choose the daughter of the family to marry Princess Chang'an, and chose the seventh sister ......"
"Wait! Chosen the Seventh Sister? Isn't it the ninth sister? Xu Jing was a little confused, wasn't Xiao Jiu the one who went to marry in the end? Why is Xu Ting said now that she is Xu Ting?
"Originally, it was indeed the seventh sister, the seventh sister smashed things in the house for a long time after receiving the holy decree, I lived next door, and I heard it clearly, but then the ninth sister was called back from the Zhuangzi somehow, and then I never saw the ninth sister again, until the team of relatives left Beijing, I didn't know that it was the ninth sister who went to marry and not the seventh sister!"
Xu Wei didn't know what was going on here, she was detained in the house by Grandma Sun at that time, and she could only know a few words from her subordinates afterwards, so she couldn't explain it to Xu Jing.
"I'm going to ask my mother!" Xu Shu wiped away her tears, turned around and told Xu Shu, "You also hurry back to the house!" ”
When Xu Jing arrived at Chunhui Courtyard, before she had time to ask how the candidate for marriage changed from Xu Ting to Xu Shu, Li Shi had already grabbed Xu Jing's arm as if she had seen a savior, "Jing'er, go and persuade your father, if you are sick, you won't even drink medicine, how can this work!" ”
Seeing Li's anxious appearance, Xu Jing calmed down, "How did my father get sick?" ”
Li refused to say, only urged her to hurry up to persuade Xu Hui, Li knew that Xu Hui loved his eldest daughter very much, and he was reluctant to make his eldest daughter sad, Xu Jing almost raised Xu Shu as half a daughter in her early years, where could she accept Xu Shu's death?
Xu Jing asked again, "My father is not a child anymore, how can he refuse to drink medicine for no reason?" ”
Li lowered his head and was speechless.
Xu Jing's heart gradually became cold, and little by little she broke off Li's hand that was holding her arm, and said word by word, "Is it because of the death of the ninth sister?" ”
