Chapter 24: The Emptiness of the Past (1)
、、、、、、、、、、
The carriage squeaked hurriedly and stopped in front of a mansion, which was magnificent, with a majestic spirit, black plaques, gilt characters, and powerful fonts, such as a dragon swimming in the water, and the palace of the king.
Qi Jin held Nuan Yin's hand and stepped on cloth shoes, she was now dressed plainly, abandoning beaded shoes, brocade and satin, just like an ordinary woman, her eyes silently looked at the plaque of Zhongwang's Mansion, and her beautiful fair face was covered with a layer of faint luster under the golden light.
"Concubine, it's here." Nuan Yin whispered, but wondered why the concubine had to change into a brocade dress and satin beads when she went out.
"Knocking on the door" Qi Jin let go of Nuan Yin's hand, his face was expressionless, and his eyebrows were slightly sad like a dream.
Nuan Yin looked puzzled, but he still stepped forward and knocked on the door, and after a while, there was a babbling sound, and the heavy vermilion lacquer door slowly opened.
"Who, when is it?" A middle-aged man in green clothes stood behind the door, and after seeing the person standing at the foot of the steps through the dim light, he was stunned for a moment, and then immediately shouted, "Girl...... Ah, Concubine, here you are. ”
"What about Grandpa and Father?" Qi Jin took Nuan Yin's hand, stepped over the threshold, and asked softly.
"The master and a few masters are sitting in the hall, and they have just eaten." The man who guarded the door saluted Qi Jin and replied humbly.
Qi Jin nodded, waved her hand so that the man who was guarding the door did not have to follow, her pace was a little hurried, the main hall of the Zhongwang Mansion was in front, the lights were bright, and occasionally Lang Lang laughed out.
"Jin'er?" Suddenly, an uncertain call came from the corridor on the left, and Qi Jin stopped and looked over.
"Uncle" Qi Jin smiled at the man and walked over to him.
"Why are you here now?" That person is about in his early teens, Xiao Shuxuanju, has a suave chic, it is Qi Jin's uncle and Qi Yan's younger brother, Qi Yin.
"I have something important to talk to my grandfather." Qi Jin replied softly, and the melancholy at the corners of his eyebrows and eyes became a little heavier.
"Ah, concubine." Qi Yin suddenly saluted Qi Jin, although he was an elder, he still had to abide by the rules.
"Uncle, don't be like this." Qi Jindai's eyebrows were raised, and her voice was weak and tired.
"Eh, this gift can't be abolished, you are a concubine, your status level is one level higher than mine, my uncle always forgets to give you a salute, and when you are the little girl who doesn't grow up." Qi Yin was originally informal, humorous, but the environment around him was some people who could not be presumptuous or relaxed, he was the only idler in the family, and he hated to be an official in the court, and he didn't like to deal with those who were duplicitous.
"When I return home, there is no concubine or concubine." Qi Jin smiled lightly at Qi Yin, for this uncle, Qi Jin can't say that he likes or hates it, but he just thinks that he is an outlier in the family, and he is also the only one in the family who approved of his aunt's marriage to Yu Yunsheng back then, I don't know if my uncle will regret his approval after knowing what his aunt has been wronged now.
"Hey, you're here to talk to your father, go up to the hall, he's chatting with your father." Qi Yin laughed, his niece used to always smile brightly, but after becoming a concubine, her eyebrows were shrouded in sorrow, as if she had undertaken a thousand things on her mind.
Qi Jin pulled his mouth slightly, hesitating whether to tell his uncle first, and later he might be able to help him persuade his grandfather.
"Uncle" Qi Jin stopped and looked at Qi Yin with tears in his eyes.
"What's wrong? Did someone bully you? Qi Yin saw Qi Jin suddenly crying full of grievances, and her heart was anxious, thinking that she had suffered some grievances.
"Who dares to bully me, uncle, I came today to ask grandpa for something." Qi Jin didn't wipe away his tears, but just looked up at Yuehua, his already melancholy eyes were imprinted with the loneliness of the moonlight, and he looked even more lonely and empty.
Looking at Qi Jin's side face, Qi Yin suddenly had a feeling in his heart, he felt that his niece seemed to be living a very blank life and was very forbearing, as if that kind of turbid blankness and patience was coming to an end, if ...... This always elegant and noble concubine has endured it, what will happen? It's going to crash.
"Jin'er, what the hell is going on?" Qi Yin asked softly, secretly wondering in her heart if this niece, who had not seen her for more than a year, was not happy at all in her life in the mansion, so the sorrow in her eyes and the thoughts in her heart would get older and more?
"Uncle, do you remember your aunt?" Qi Jin looked at the bright moonlight in the sky and asked in a quiet voice.
Qi Yin was shocked, "You say...... Are you talking about prostitution? ”
"Well, remember?" Qi Jin looked back at him and asked with a smile.
How...... Will you remember? He and Qi Jiao were born only a month apart, although the two are not siblings, but his favorite is this sister who is like a fairy, although he never called her sister, has always called her a child, when she insisted on marrying Yu Yunsheng, the family did not allow it, so she was locked up, he couldn't bear to see her crying day and night, so he secretly let her go, on the day she married Yu Yunsheng, her father was so angry that he broke off relations with her, announcing that there was no Qi Jia in the Qi family from now on, and the word Qi Jia has also become a taboo in the palace of the king of Zhong, so many years, He had never heard anything about Qi Jiao in this house, but he didn't expect Jin'er to ask about him.
"What do you want her to do?" Qi Yin hid the distress in his eyes and asked Qi Jin expressionlessly.
Qi Jin sighed faintly, "Uncle, you know that I like to pester this aunt since I was a child, after she married into the Yu family, I often secretly went to the Yu family to find her, she is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen, my aunt is talented, smart, and the name of the talented woman is the best in Ningcheng, everyone says that the daughter of the Qi family is peerless, but such a woman who is left behind and **, such a shallow and indifferent like a fairy who does not eat fireworks in the world, but she has no hesitation for love, so she should be happy, I also heard a little about the things of the year, she was willing to cut off relations with the Qi family for Yuyunsheng, Desperate to pursue her love, but ......"
Qi Yin listened to Qi Jin's faint voice, and the more he listened, the more a chill rose in his heart, "But what?" ”
"But my aunt gave up all her love desperately, but she was let down by Yuyunsheng." Qi Jin's eyes sharpened and he said coldly.
Qi Yin gasped, he couldn't believe what his ears heard, since Qi Wan married Yu Yunsheng, he had never inquired about her, he thought that she would be happy and happy to grow old with Yu Yunsheng, he never thought that Yu Yunsheng would live up to Qi Yunsheng.
"What did you say?" Qi Yin grabbed Qi Yan's hand, and his gaze became terrifying.
Qi Jin looked at him fearlessly, "Uncle, I came today to beg grandpa, to ask grandpa to forgive my aunt, would you like to help me?" ”
"What the hell happened to Er'er?" Qi Yin asked anxiously.
"Uncle, if Jin'er says it at this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to stop you...... I want to go to the Yu family and beat that Yu Yunsheng hard. "It's her, and she endured it for a long time before she didn't go directly to the Jade Mansion.
Qi Yin clenched his fists, his eyes widened, "Let's go, go to my father." ”
"Uncle, then you can help me later." Grandpa has a stubborn personality, she is afraid of relying on her alone, and grandpa is not easy to forgive her aunt.
"If that Yu Yunsheng really loses his daughter, I won't break his leg!" Qi Yin strode towards the hall, his heart was full of suspicion of Qi Jin's words, thinking that his dignified and beautiful sister had been wronged, he felt a burst of anger in his heart.
Qi Jin followed closely behind Qi Yin, as long as there were still people in the family who cared about her aunt, she would be more confident in convincing her grandfather to forgive her aunt.
