Chapter 43 One Lovesickness, Two Sorrows (Second Watch)
Jiang Xinshan turned her head, stared straight at the pearl with her eyes, and said word by word: "King Han was defeated, and the Zheng family was afraid that the new emperor would settle accounts after the autumn, so he treated me as a chess piece, and sent me to Jiang Xinyao in exchange for the peace and joy of their family, and they were promoted and made rich." All right...... That's great......"
The cold light in Jiang Xinyao's eyes made Pearl shudder, and she involuntarily screamed: "Young grandma!" ”
"Jiang Xinyao hates me, she can't wait to trample me under her feet. They grounded me, took the child away from me, and detained me in this deserted courtyard, in the darkness of the courtyard, until I died of old age! ”
Jiang Xinshan's tears rained down and retreated: "Pearl, they are so ruthless!" ”
Pearl's eyes turned red, and she said with tears: "Young grandma, let's go and beg the fourth lady, in the end, it is a flesh and blood sister, the fourth miss is soft-hearted, and she will definitely let the young grandmother go." ”
"Didn't you ask me, I knelt in front of her, she didn't even look at me, and said that she wanted to settle accounts with me, and she had to calculate slowly, one by one. She wants me to have nothing, no mother's house, no dowry, no silver, nothing. ”
New hatred and old hatred surged into her heart at the same time, and the hatred in Jiang Xinshan's heart gushed out: "I hate, I really hate, why didn't my aunt use her strength anymore and keep her to harm me!" ”
Pearl was so frightened that she covered her mouth and couldn't speak for a long time. It turned out that the fourth lady was fallen, and it was really Aunt Zhou...... She felt her hands and feet stiffen.
The sharp gaze moved away from the pearl and landed on the red-painted courtyard door, and the anger in his eyes seemed to burn a hole in the courtyard door.
Pearl saw that the sixth young grandmother's eyes didn't seem quite right. A chill welled up in his heart, and he hurriedly said: "Sixth young grandmother, the mother-in-law who guards the door only gives the slave maid half a cup of tea. The slave is leaving. ”
Jiang Xinshan grabbed Pearl's hand and said with a smile: "You have followed me since you were a child, and you have always been the most powerful person around me. Our master and servant have traveled from Suzhou Mansion to the capital, and then to the Zheng family, and they have been in love for more than ten years along the way. Pearl, you help me do something. ”
……
It is said that since that day, Zhao Junwu has met Princess An Le in Yiyuan. I can't forget it. The princess's beauty, gentleness and versatility made him dislike everything.
Zhao Junwu never expected that he would have such an encounter. That night, he lived alone in the study, put a few drinks and dishes in the courtyard, and looked up at the starry sky. Moan and groan.
Maybe it's because the night sky is so charming. He felt that even the twinkling stars in the sky looked so beautiful, just like the princess's bright eyes, staring at him with a slight smile, which made him deeply intoxicated.
The wine entered the bowels of sorrow, and the soul was gloomy, turning into lovesick tears, dripping on the clothes.
Zhao Junwu, who was slightly drunk, felt that he was the first frustrated person in the past. I was not born, and I was old. It's really a kind of lovesickness, two sorrows!
Oh, if only I hadn't married a wife.
……
On the second day, Zhao Junwu woke up, looked at the hour, washed carefully, and ran to Nayi Garden.
A talented and beautiful woman frowns and caresses the piano, and the other listens attentively;
A long skirt fluttered in the pavilion;
A green shirt fell outside the pavilion;
A sigh of loneliness in the deep palace, who says what is in his heart;
A beautiful woman, a few rejuvenating dreams with Qing.
Hey, ah, what a couple of Lang love, my sister is a bitter mandarin duck with intention!
On the third day, the princess played a song of mountains and rivers, and said with tears in her eyes: "The imperial brother allowed me to go out of the palace to relax for three days, and as soon as the three days passed, I would enter the inner courtyard of the deep palace again, and from then on, I would never see each other again inside and outside the palace!"
Zhao Junwu was heartbroken, and he couldn't wait to rub the woman in front of him deeply into his arms, so that he could love him. But because of each other's identities, they didn't dare to make a mistake.
After a few thoughts in his heart, he boldly said: "Princess Wu Zhenyue, I am willing to marry Qin and Jin with the princess, if the princess can see martial arts, please ask the princess to wait for me for a while." ”
The princess did not expect the handsome man in front of her to be so straightforward, her face turned red with shame, and she spat at the man with resentment and joy, and left in a hurry.
Zhao Junwu was familiar with the affairs of Fengyue, and when he saw the princess reacting like this, he only felt that his body was soft and muddy, leaning on the pavilion pillar softly, and he couldn't even walk.
Finally relieved, the people in the smoke tree pavilion went to the pavilion. Zhao Junwu sat in the pavilion and pondered for a long time, then threw off his sleeves and went straight home.
……
After listening to his grandson's request, Li's heart moved, but the embarrassment on his face did not disappear for half a minute.
She hesitated and said: "My son, it is true that you and the princess are in love, but you are already a married person, although your daughter-in-law has not been in the door for a long time, but she is also from a good family. How can our Zhao family do that ungrateful thing. ”
Zhao Junwu didn't know what the Li family was thinking, and when he heard this, he became anxious, and hurriedly said: "Grandmother, how can the Qiu family be comparable to the princess, it's just a vulgar powder, and even a finger of the princess can't be compared." After marrying in the house for a year, I can't even conceive a child, is it possible that my grandmother can't bear to look at me without a queen? ”
Li Shi said quietly: "In your opinion, what should I do?" ”
Zhao Junwu gritted his teeth and said angrily: "You should give up if you have no children." ”
Li raised his hand and slapped Zhao Junwu is face, and said hatefully: "You child, how can you enter the door for a year, and then abandon people on the grounds that you have no children, if it spreads, do you want the reputation of our Hou Mansion?" ”
Zhao Junwu stroked the hot half of his face and said angrily: "Grandmother, if the grandson can marry the princess into the door, how can you still look at the face of that wild seed." The title of Zhao Mansion naturally fell on the head of the grandson, who would dare to grab it? Who can grab it? At the beginning, his father also divorced the Xiao family, married the Su family, and relied on the Su family's talent. ”
Li was so angry that he wanted to spit out a few liters of blood, stretched out his hand, and the white jade cup in the shape of a golden wire hook cloud on the kang table shattered in response, pointing at his grandson's face and scolding angrily: "I don't know the thickness of the sky and the earth, the Xiao family has not hatched an egg for a few years after entering the door, your father is clear and straightforward, and the Xiao family doesn't even dare to let go of a fart." How many days has your daughter-in-law been in the door? How do you not move your brain? ”
Zhao Junwu was scolded so purple that his face was purple, his lips and tongue trembled, but he couldn't think of anything to refute, he stretched his neck and said quietly: "Then what do you say, finally the princess fell in love with me, could it be that the fat in her mouth was thrown away like this?" ”
Seeing that he softened, Li Shi groaned for a moment with a gloomy face, and suddenly slapped the table heavily, his eyes blazing: "How can there be any reason to spit out the fat meat in the mouth." Listen to me, this is how this needs to be done......"
……
That night, Zhao Junwu neither drank nor was he to the moon, humming a little song and proudly entering Qiu's room, with a gentle and sweet talk, bowing down and making a small statement, only to make the Qiu family happy that he didn't know what to do. The couple blew out the lights early and rolled into the bed.
For several days, Zhao Junwu only messed around at Qiu's place during the day and at night, and the two of them were like glue, and they were more affectionate than when they were newly married. In just a few days, Qiu's skin was moisturized and his face was white, and the corners of his eyes were full of spring, like a delicate rose.
Happy days are always fleeting, and within a few days, the ancestor of the Zhao family, the Li family, somehow contracted a cold, and the familiar Tai Yi diagnosed the pulse and prescribed medicine, but after eating a few patches, it still did not improve.
The ancestor is sick, and it stands to reason that the daughter-in-law needs to serve the sick day and night. The Li family only has one biological son, and the people next to him are all concubines, so they can't be counted on at all.
Su Shi worked hard for a few nights, and he was sick of the old disease, humming and chattering on the bed and unable to move. had no choice but to go into battle with his grandson and daughter-in-law.
Zhao Zhengxin's four concubines, the age difference is not big, except for Zhao Junwu who married a daughter-in-law, the next one is only sixteen or seventeen years old, and none of them have ever married a wife. In other words, in the generation of grandchildren and daughters-in-law, only one Qiu family can be used.
Seeing that Mrs. Li loved her man the most, the Qiu family had no complaints, so she hugged the bed and quilt and rested in the old lady's room, served tea and medicine, wiped her face and body, took care of her everywhere, and did everything herself.
On the evening of this day, Qiu Shi stayed awake all night because he was tossed last night, and he was falling asleep like a chicken pecking rice. The maid came in with the decoction, Qiu's eyes widened, and when she saw that the medicine was a little hot, she asked the little maid to put it on a few cold days for a while before feeding the old lady to drink.
The maids who kept vigil saw that the old lady was sleeping soundly, and they did not disturb them, so they went to the outside room to guard, leaving Qiu alone in front of them.
Qiu waited for the medicine to be cold, tasted the temperature, the heat and cold were just right, and woke up the old lady to drink the medicine.
Li was bitter, and the general drank a few sips, and then refused to drink again.
Qiu Shi just coaxed a few words, and Li suddenly wowed, vomited the medicine he had eaten, and as soon as he tilted his head, the person fell backwards.
Qiu's face was so frightened that his face was pale, and the maids outside could hear the movement inside, and they were in a hurry and panicked.
This trouble alarmed everyone in the house, and all houses and courtyards poured into the Li family's courtyard.
Not long after, the imperial doctor came in a hurry, and after carefully checking the pulse, he called Hou Ye Zhao aside, and whispered a few words, and Hou Ye's face suddenly became extremely ugly.
People with those who have bright ears can vaguely hear the word "poisoning".
This night, the lights in Li's room were bright, and Qiu's face was pale, kneeling in front of the old lady, tears flowing.
Zhao Junwu gritted his teeth and stared at the woman kneeling on the ground, the anger in his eyes seemed to burn a hole in the bluestone ground.
Qiu Shi saw that the man who was tender and sweet with her a few days ago instantly changed his face, and half of the trust between husband and wife in his words and expressions was not maintained, and he didn't feel disheartened.
On the second day, Qiu Mingwei, a member of the Ministry of Labor, and his wife Shi hurriedly entered the Zhongyong Marquis's mansion and were led to the Hou Ye's outer study.
In the study, Zhao Zhengxin, Zhao Junwu and his son have been waiting for a long time with calm faces. No one knows what the four people in the study have discussed in the past two hours, only that when Qiu Mingwei and his wife came out of the study, Shi's legs weakened, fell to the ground, and finally were helped out by two maids.
Three days later, all the relatives and friends of the Qiu family poured into the Hou Mansion with an angry face, and took away all the dowries that the Qiu family brought into the Hou Mansion, Qiu Mingwei personally helped his daughter into the carriage, spit a few mouthfuls of thick phlegm towards the gate of the Hou Mansion, and walked away.
Within a few days, the story of the Zhao family's son and the enemy's daughter being reconciled spread all over the streets and alleys of the capital. (To be continued.) )(..)
