Chapter 13: The Secret of the College (7)
"Yes, it's so clever, it's not in vain that I'll take advantage of the chaos to dispose of that old woman."
After saying this, Zeng Shou reached out and touched the little girl's hair, as if he was caressing the fur of a pet, which felt very good, and he pressed it gently.
The little girl did not flinch, nodded very seriously and said, "Sixth Uncle's Endea Jiu is in mind. ”
"Don't be so serious." Zeng Shou turned around and looked at the sunny courtyard outside the window, there was good sunshine today, there was a blue sky, the green trees and red flowers in the small courtyard, the moss spread up from the corner of the brick wall little by little, deep and light green, and there may be one or two slugs crawling with gray-white water trails on it.
"Ah Jiu, what's your maiden name?"
"A single name is a Xi character."
"Cherish?"
"No, Yu Jixi's respectful Xi." Qin Jiu explained.
"Bright, just like the sun, your parents were full of hope for your birth."
Zengshou stood at the window, waving at her.
Qin Jiu walked over and stood beside him. She glanced at the height of the two of them with the back of her eyes, she was too thin, he was tall and long, she was not even his shoulder, like the relationship between them at the grave, he was the person she had to rely on, a big tree, and she was just a weak and helpless silk in the shade of the tree.
"Look, what a sunshine, Ah Jiu, that's what your mother expected of you back then. Transparency, warmth and brightness, the heart is connected. ”
Qin Jiu pointed to the brick wall and said, "Sixth Uncle, I also have such a courtyard in the Princess's Mansion, which makes me feel that the sun has never been so good, because the wall is too high, and it is surrounded by trees, as if it wants to block all the light." The yard is cold and damp, moss spreads from the wall to the wall, and in June and July, the house will also grow mold, and there will be black spots everywhere, which will grow when you pick it off. ”
Zengshou nodded, and motioned with his eyes for her to continue.
This thin girl came across as timid and cowardly at first, but slowly he discovered that she was very clever and had been hiding herself under a thick veil, and he was looking forward to what the little girl would look like after the veil was completely lifted. From a timid little white rabbit with red eyes to a little fox with a sly smile?
"I thought I would be locked up for the rest of my life and never be able to come out again. There are people in the princess's mansion all around, everyone looks at me coldly, they are all watching me, reminding me to remember the kindness of the princess, I don't understand, I am my father's biological daughter, I am a concubine, why should I be grateful for her benefits? Other people's families have also changed the wives of high-ranking families, do they have to throw away all the previous children? I even thought about dying, thinking that if I died, I wouldn't have to suffer those cold receptions again. Until one day, after the rain, I squatted in the yard to look at the moss. ”
Zeng Shou thought about it for a while, after the rain, the ground was full of water marks, and a little girl squatted on the ground staring at the thick slippery and greasy moss on the wall, this was really a lonely scene.
He smiled: "When I'm in a bad mood, I will only make trouble, and everyone in the palace will be unhappy, so I'll be happy." ”
Qin Jiu didn't laugh and continued to speak, his expression indifferent and indifferent, as if he was telling someone else's story.
"I see a lot of moths giving birth."
She looked at Zengshou: "Sixth uncle, you know those moths, they have big bellies." ”
"I realized that the moth gave birth like this, a small circle, with small round grains one by one, and some fluffy things wrapped around the outside. There were many moths on the ground struggling, covered in mud and water, unable to fly anymore, and struggled for most of the day before dying. It turns out that these moths are going to die after giving birth, and in the past, I only knew that moths threw themselves into fire, and I couldn't imagine how moths gave birth...... Tragic. ”
Qin Jiu thought about it and used tragedy to describe the story of the moth.
Zengshou nodded: "Yes, you are really a good girl who is good at observation." ”
"I thought, my mother gave birth to me with such determination, I had a difficult birth, and my mother hurt her body because of it. Now I am trapped in a high wall without sunlight, and I live silently, and they randomly point out to me to marry, and die silently, how can I be worthy of my mother's suffering in such a lifetime. So I have to go out and settle everything in the past clearly. ”
When Qin Jiu said this, he looked up at Zengshou: "I have been observing all the way, the sixth uncle is different from the legend, the so-called Taoguang Yanghui is like this." ”
Zeng Shou was a little embarrassed by her praise, and reached out to touch her hair, but his hand stopped in the air and slapped it on his head instead.
Along the way, he is a majestic Lord Qincha, a noble son with a strange temper, only at this moment, shy and flustered, like a stupid teenager, with a youth that matches his age.
"So Sixth Uncle, I want to be as strong as you."
Qin Jiu's gaze seemed to penetrate the high walls and moss, and saw the vast distance.
"I don't want to go back to the princess's mansion again, the sixth uncle will do a lot of things along the way, some things, the ladies of the inner house know best, all this needs a suitable assistant, I am willing to be the assistant of the sixth uncle, I only hope that in the future, the sixth uncle will achieve his wish and can help me...... Avenge. ”
Qin Jiu trembled when he said this.
She had been thinking about these words for a long time, and she had made a lot of determination. After all, Zengshou is a member of the royal family and has a blood relationship with Princess Changping.
"Okay, that's a deal. If I can do what I want, I will do what you want. ”
Zengshou stretched out his hand, and the corners of his lips smiled: This little girl is a little interesting.
Qin Jiu nodded, reached out and patted his hand.
"You ...... What are you doing? ”
Chu Qi followed Luo Fan into the small courtyard, and saw two people standing side by side at the window, one Yushu was in the wind, and the other was petite and weak, standing together with indescribable coordination. Chu Qi's heart seemed to be dragged by something, and he couldn't help but blurt out.
Luo Fan also frowned slightly: Lonely men and widows, although they are related, and they are cousins and cousins, but ...... It's still not good to be so close.
"Be cautious, what do you think of Mo Zhanxiang's death?"
Luo Fan shouted out the words given to him by the Queen Mother, telling him to be cautious in his words and deeds and restrain his habits.
Zengshou raised his eyebrows: "I just want to know, if the affairs of the academy have a lot to do with your cousin, what will happen to you?" ”
"My cousin Bing Qingyujie has also had a good reputation in the academy for many years, how could she be involved in those dirty things? Don't talk about it. ”
Luo Fan frowned, he thought that the increase in longevity was just revenge for disturbing his good deeds.
Qin Jiu lowered his head, not knowing how to say to him.
Chu Qi's eyes widened: "But General Luo, Mrs. Lin said it herself, she has a personal relationship with Mo Zhanxiang, and it is precisely because of the personal relationship that she ......."
"Nonsense."
Luo Fan interrupted her.
"Really, I don't believe you asked Miss Qin, this is all said by Mrs. Lin herself."
Chu Qi pointed at Qin Jiu, who saw that he couldn't dodge, so he had to raise his head and nod his head slightly.
But before I heard that she talked about these things, Lin Shanchang had just left, and he still left in a huff. It's said to be terrifying, tsk. Zengshou shook his head.
This reminded Luo Fan, and he slapped the table angrily: "It's too much, they did something bad, they just wanted my cousin to be a weak woman, I will never spare them!" ”
Zeng Shou lowered his head and smiled at Qin Jiu, like a cunning fox.
