Chapter 48 Moths to the Fire
The darkness came as promised.
Thick clouds blocked the starry sky.
Jiang Xinyao stood in front of the atrium, looking at the osmanthus flowers in the Sun Mansion, her expression gloomy.
The osmanthus flowers are thanked and bloomed again, the fragrance of flowers is scattered and reunited, the flowers are continuous, often blooming and new, now in this mansion, it is already full of desolation, who else has this leisure to stand under the tree full of flowers, sighing for a long time.
Gu took the cloak in Li's mother's hand, gently draped it on her daughter, opened her mouth, and didn't know what to say, so she only turned into a heavy sigh.
"What's wrong with Xiao Cao?"
Xiao Cao's long hair was scattered, and he bowed to the ground, knowing that because of his own thoughts, two lives, while everyone was not paying attention, he swallowed the gold prepared in advance, in order to die!
Gu Shi was silent for a moment, and said quietly: "The weight of that gold is very light, and Imperial Doctor Du saved it in time, and it is already fine!" It's your second sister, who doesn't eat or drink, doesn't cry or laugh, just sits beside him in a daze, and can't move anyone who calls, which is worrying. This woman, she really can't be wrong, one wrong step, one wrong step, it's all wrong! ”
Mother Li sighed softly: "It is said that dogs that can bite people don't bark, this is not true at all, that Grandma Cao Qi's scheming is so deep and her mind is so ruthless, it's really embarrassing!" It's a good thing now, Shengsheng harmed his own man and aunt, what a sin! ”
Jiang Xinyao lowered her eyes and was silent.
There was a dead knot on a rope, which could not be untied and was constantly pulled. Now that the rope is broken and the knot is untied, what's the point of complaining about whether the rope has damaged the knot or the rope.
Who's right? Who's wrong?
Who is insidious? Who is noble??
Who deserves it? Who's to blame?
Gu Shi saw that his daughter was silent for a long time. worried: "What is Yao'er thinking?" ”
Xin Yao's eyes flashed, and she sighed softly: "I'm just thinking about the days in this mansion in the future...... What should I do? ”
……
Time. It never stops because of someone's grief; will not quietly stop for her because of someone's departure.
Time has always been a fair old man, princes and generals, ordinary men and pawns in front of him, after all, they can't escape the fate of death!
Jiang Xinyao has never been a savior. Since the breeze and tears came to her, let her find a way to die for Jiang Xinyu in distress, and now she has parted with life and death in one day. Jiang Xinyao never spoke to persuade Jiang Xinyu again.
At the beginning, she said that the road is her own choice, good and bad. Eventually, you have to bear it. I can't blame myself, I can't blame others. When you can't break free and can't get rid of it, you can only bear it.
But why is there a place in my heart that seems to be being hit hard, and I can hardly breathe. Jiang Xinyu's cold and empty eyes, instantly emaciated body, and white and bloodless face followed Xin Yao's mind like scenes exchanged one after another in the play. Lingering, driving away.
Xiao Han saw Xin Yao after returning from Sun's house. was a little embarrassed, and even with the two children without the smile of the past, I couldn't help but worry.
Thinking that Miss Jiang Er was Xin Yao's cousin, this change made her a little sour, but she didn't persuade her, but only picked up the interesting things in the yamen and told her to make her laugh.
However, when the old lady heard about this, he deliberately called Xin Yao to him.
Xiao Ting has practiced medicine all his life, he has seen too much life and death, and his mood is a little calmer than that of others, he only said one sentence to Xin Yao: People live for a lifetime, what is the one who is happy? It's only right to live your life well!
Jiang Xinyao was shocked when she saw her grandfather, who had always acted obediently, rarely said such a transparent word, and then she immediately understood, and couldn't help but smile.
When Xiao Han returned home in the evening, he was stunned when he saw the woman smiling and greeted him, the corners of his mouth were raised, and the light in his eyes grew.
……
On this day, the Gu family quietly came to the Xiao Mansion, followed by Jiang Xinqiong, the eldest lady of the Jiang family who had just returned to the capital.
Jiang Xinyao has seen her eldest sister on the hospital bed once last year because of the old lady's cane, and the two sisters have not seen each other for nearly a year. At first glance, I couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Jiang Xinqiong took Xin Yao's hand and looked up and down for a long time, only to see that she was wearing a home-style gauze skirt, her hair was lightly pulled, and her hair was dotted with a delicate pearl, which was elegant and refined.
She chuckled and said, "My sister looks very good! ”
Jiang Xinyao saw that her eldest sister's face was slightly yellow, and there were a few fine lines at the corners of her eyes, but her spirit was fine, and she smiled and said with a pun: "My sister's complexion in the future will get better and better day by day." ”
Jiang Xinqiong's heart warmed, and she quipped to Gu's: "Second aunt, look at the fourth sister's mouth, it is getting sweeter and sweeter." ”
Gu stroked the phoenix hairpin on his head and smiled silently.
The three of them sat down, the maids served tea and snacks, Jiang Xinqiong drank a few sips of warm tea, looked at the surrounding furnishings, and then said: "I just returned to Beijing two days ago, and as soon as I returned home, I heard people talk about the Sun family. ”
Xin Yao sighed lightly: "The eldest sister has been to the second sister's mansion?" ”
Jiang Xinqiong nodded and said, "I went with the second aunt once, and I saw someone!" Hey, who knew it would come to this! ”
"How's that going?" Xin Yao asked firmly.
Jiang Xinqiong didn't know how to speak, so she moved her gaze to Gu.
The Gu family understood, held the handkerchief and hesitated for a moment and said, "The previous child was just buried, and it was the same day as the Cao family. Your second sister is still like that, she doesn't talk or laugh, she doesn't eat or drink, and she describes her witheredness, which makes people feel distressed. When your eldest sister talks to her, she also ignores it and doesn't hear it. ”
Jiang Xinyao closed her eyes slightly and muttered, "Second sister, she is too deeply in love!" ”
Jiang Xinqiong frowned slightly: "My sister, I think carefully and carefully, I take everything to heart, and rarely tell outsiders, even my own sister, I only know how much she thinks." When it came to the marriage with the Sun family, although the second sister should do this family business, she was somewhat unwilling in her heart. If not, I wouldn't have seen my mother's family all these years. ”
Gu nodded and praised: "Xin Yu is very right. Although this girl said that the Cao family was strict and tight. But if she really wants to see it, how many can stop her? ”
When Xinqiong thought of her sister-in-law being alone in that high-ranking family for six years, she said with pity in her eyes: "I don't know that she is guarding such a person." How did you get through it. Now that I think about it, when I meet the nemesis of my fate, it is also fateful to fall in love. It's no wonder that being bullied like that, they all endure it to death. ”
Xinqiong brushed the broken hair in her ear, and said again: "Before entering Beijing this time, I specially went around Suzhou Mansion. My sister-in-law told me everything. I thought that she would shorten her silver coins so that she could see the faces of the Cao family and the Gao family clearly. can stand up to the waist when acting, who ever thought about it...... It's okay to be on the side, and this big family will be in the future. How can you live? ”
A wry smile bloomed on Jiang Xinqiong's lips, and she sighed heavily, a little unable to speak.
When Jiang Xinyao heard what was in this, she couldn't help asking, "Sister-in-law." What's going on in that house? ”
Jiang Xinqiong listened. Her eyes darkened: "Yesterday, an aunt Gao gave birth to a son, weighing six pounds and eight taels, white and fat, and it makes people happy to look at it." It's a pity that this kid hasn't even seen his father's face......"
Giving birth to a son?
Even the jewelry in Nafu was going to be sold for his birthday, and Sun Jingyao was at the funeral, but he was afraid that he would hollow out all the family resources of the second sister, and he would give birth again...... Jiang Xinyao looked at Gu Shi lightly.
Gu knew what her daughter was thinking. sighed: "Your father asked me to send some silver money a few days ago, yesterday. Your eldest sister took out another thousand taels of silver and handed it to Qingfeng. You don't know, but the amount of silver that can be taken out in that house is only a few hundred taels. These hundreds of taels are also thanks to the light breeze cleverness, and secretly collect them for the child, just in case. ”
Jiang Xinqiong shook her head again and again and said, "Second sister, I really don't know how to live in the future!" ”
Gu Shi was heartbroken when he heard this, and sneered: "If it were me, the first thing would be to drive out the Xiao Cao clan and the Gao clan." ”
The Gu family has always been obsessed with the fact that the two lives were instigated by the Xiao Cao family, but the laws of the Nanyan Kingdom could not bear her, and she watched her toss and turn between life and death. Her good niece refused to say a word, and only lived in her own world.
Jiang Xinqiong snorted coldly: "How can the little Cao family have the face to stay in this mansion any longer, such a vicious person, the Sun family's big house can't tolerate her!" ”
Jiang Xinyao only felt a sudden pain in her temples, and said helplessly: "Mother, eldest sister, we can only help on the side of the affairs in that house." The second sister is so deeply in love, she suddenly lost her lover, and it was difficult to get out of it for a while. What's more, Sun Qiye died so ......"
Jiang Xinyao didn't say anything further. What echoes in her heart these days is the sentence that Jiang Xinyu said behind her back, and what makes her depressed and worried.
Jiang Xinyao is a vulgar person, and the layman sees the problem the simplest, with only two words: gain and loss.
The experience of many people made Jiang Xinyao understand that love is the last thing to last. Therefore, she carefully guards the square inch in her heart in marriage, controls life smoothly and sleekly, carefully weighs her feelings, cautiously pokes out her tentacles, and perceives the man's friendship with her. At the slightest stir, she retreated into her thick tortoise shell, refusing to take another step.
Jiang Xinyu is different, she doesn't care about her name or rumors, she stands in front of the man without hesitation, shields him from the wind and rain, selflessly dedicates love and money, and even does not hesitate to wronged herself, without a trace of retreat and hesitation.
She doesn't play scheming, doesn't fight methods, takes love seriously, lives seriously, and looks at everything to love. Ironically, it turned out to be so bloody.
An innocent and fearless woman immersed in love, she fights with her bare hands against a heavily armed enemy hiding in the shadows, and the result is obviously easy to see.
The autumn sun shone obliquely on the windowsill, and an unknown small flying insect was lazily basking in the sun.
Jiang Xinyao felt that she was very much like that little flying insect, and only a place where the sun was warm could make it stop.
Second sister, the moth is ready to put out the fire, although the courage is good, but it is also easy to burn yourself and others! (To be continued.) )
