Chapter 110: I'm Back
Kowtowed one by one, sat down in front of the grave and said a few words, and then Begonia returned to the antechamber of the cottage that had long been burned to black charcoal. In the past, her brothers spoiled her lawlessly, and she arbitrarily occupied the main position, but let her brothers sit on both sides of her head. Drinking, singing, foul language, and two fights when you are not angry, the life is not delicate, but it is very comfortable and happy.
Now......
Haitang exhaled a breath of turbidity, calmed down and came to a certain place to squat, brushed aside the layer of snow above, and pushed aside the beams that had already become carbon, and finally dug out a small box three feet down. The box was a little old, but fortunately it had been buried by her many years ago, so it was spared this catastrophe.
She opened the box, took out the baggage, and opened it. There was a light green jacket in the baggage, and some toys that my brothers gave me when I was a child. Begonia picked up the jacket and took out all the toys, but there was no small bell carved with lotus flowers.
I'm afraid it's not enough to just have a small jacket, but you have to have that little bell!
Begonia rummaged back and forth twice but couldn't find the thing, so she was a little anxious. She shook her jacket, stood up and searched for it, and finally found the little bell under her feet that she had stepped on in the snow.
She picked it up, patted the snow and dirt off it, felt it was unclean, and rubbed it on her clothes again. The bell rope was a little short, which was no longer suitable for her age, so she tied the bell to her wrist. When you raise your hand slightly, the bell can still ring crisply, exactly like when you were a child.
She folded up the jacket and wrapped it again, and put the childhood toys back into the box, and did not think about putting the box back in, but held it and came to the back hill again.
In winter, even the soil in the back mountains has become hard, and it took a lot of effort for Begonia to finally dig a small pit and put the box in it by hand. After thinking about it, she took off another piece of clothing from her body, folded it and put it in the pit, and buried it in the earth. I found a board in front of me, picked up a charcoal block, and wrote my name on it.
Yin Ze can set up a double tomb for Fu Xiangwan, and she can also set up a tomb for herself. Anyway, if she returns to Beijing this time, she will probably die for life.
Begonia threw the charcoal cube in his hand and gasped. "Now, we're all together!"
Kowtowed a few times to his brothers, and Begonia promised to the sky. "On this trip, I will personally take off Jin Zisong's head and avenge my brothers."
He went down the mountain with his baggage, and the horse was still waiting in place. Begonia got on the horse, galloped all the way, and rushed to Xiangqiao's house.
Xiangqiao originally thought that Begonia had gone to the capital, and told her mother several times that she wanted to go to the capital to inquire, but her mother didn't allow it. I didn't expect the begonias to come back today.
"Princess, you have been gone for almost ten days, where have you been? Have you returned to the capital? Have you seen the little prince? ”
Begonia glanced at her, "What about your mother?" ”
Xiangqiao was startled by the coldness in Haitang's eyes, and timidly pointed to the inside of the house, "It's inside." ”
Her mother was cooking on the fire, and she was happy to welcome out when she knew that Begonia was back. "Mademoiselle is back."
Haitang stretched out her hand, just in time for Xiangqiao and her mother to see the bell on her wrist. "You said the bell, but this?"
Xiangqiao's mother looked at this thing in a daze, and cried with joy. "That's it, that's it! At that time, Mrs. said that this bell was good-looking, and the prime minister laughed at her, saying that this thing was too stingy and not worthy of the dignity of Miss Guo. Her mother wiped her tears, "But in the end, Xiangye still took out the silver, which made Mrs. smile." ”
Haitang withdrew his hand, "Huo Starling has also seen this thing?" That's even better. Then she took out her jacket again, and her clothes were crumpled and smelled of mildew. Is this the same dress that it was at the beginning? ”
Xiangqiao also leaned over to take a look, and sure enough, there was a small silver finch on the neckline and at the corner of the clothes. Her mother looked back and forth, nodding again and again, "Yes, yes, that's it, this is what I embroidered with my own hands!" ”
Her hand holding the jacket suddenly tightened, and her fingertips trembled slightly. She put away her jacket and opened her mouth to call her, but she didn't know what to call Xiangqiao and her mother. "I don't know what I'm going to call you......"
"My name is Yixiu, and I still give the name she gave me when I was sold to my wife when I was a child, and the young lady called me by my name directly."
Haitang's eyebrows jumped, "Aunt Yixiu, I'm going to the Prime Minister's Mansion to recognize my relatives, are you willing to give me a certificate?" ”
"Okay!" Yixiu was overjoyed, "Miss really tormented me by calling my aunt." Wait, I'll pack my things and we'll leave right away! ”
Xiangqiao was dumbfounded, and she didn't know how to persuade her. Yixiu has already packed up his baggage, and he is about to go out with joy. Xiangqiao grabbed her mother's arm and looked at Begonia with an embarrassed expression. "Princess, my mother, she...... You ......"
Begonia walked over and pulled her mother from Xiangqiao's hand. "Xiangqiao, I'll tell you one last time. I am not Princess Cheng, and the Chengwang Mansion has nothing to do with me. Your mother will lend me a few days, and then I will ask someone to send her back. In addition, I have been to you, and I have changed my identity and returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and I must not talk about it to others. She lowered her body slightly, with a bit of momentum. Especially the people of the Chengwang Mansion. Do you understand? Well? ”
Xiangqiao took a dry swallow and nodded. "Understood."
Yixiu explained some things again, and then followed Begonia. Begonia helped her onto the horse, worried that she would not be able to stand it. "Aunt Yixiu, you are right away, I'm leading the way."
"I can't do it." Yixiu was so panicked that she wanted to come down but didn't dare to come down, she was so anxious.
"You are not in good health, and you are also my elder. I heard that the Prime Minister's wife left early, and I can be regarded as filial piety to you. ”
Yixiu's eyes were wet all of a sudden, and in the end, she couldn't help crying. After crying for a while, Yixiu raised her sleeve and wiped her face, and asked her in a thick nasal voice: "I can't find Gu Yan among those family members who died at that time, so I knew that he must be with you, Miss." Fortunately, with him taking care of her, the young lady can be safe and sound. Seeing that Haitang was just leading the horse with her head down, and she didn't know if she had listened to it, Yixiu couldn't help but ask again: "Isn't Miss curious, how did you get separated from the Prime Minister's Mansion in the first place?" ”
She shook her head, "I will naturally know these when I get to the Prime Minister's Mansion." ”
Yixiu didn't want to speak again, but the long sigh never stopped.
It's not that Haitang doesn't want to know, but now her heart is too chaotic to listen to that. Maybe when she arrives at the Prime Minister's Mansion and meets Huo Xing, everything is a foregone conclusion, and her heart will not be chaotic.
This small village is only two miles away from the capital, and we arrived in a hurry before dark. Haitang was veiled when she entered Beijing, leading the horse all the way to the Prime Minister's Mansion, even if she passed the avenue in front of the Chengwang Mansion, she did not deviate from her gaze.
When he arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Haitang helped Yixiu down. As soon as Yixiu stood firm, she went up and knocked on the knocker without waiting for Begonia to speak. In a short time, the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion opened.
"The Prime Minister is in the house?"
The porter doesn't know Yixiu, so he has to send it hastily. Begonia pushed the gatehouse and stepped in directly.
"Presumptuous! Do you know what this place is? If you dare to go wild in the Prime Minister's Mansion, I'm afraid you don't want to live. ”
Haitang swept over with a cold knife, "Are you talking to me?" ”
The porter is also used to being wild with the status of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but he can also see that Begonia is not easy to mess with, and he has dragged Yixiu here to push people out. I felt that someone patted me on the shoulder, and the porter turned around, but before I could see what was going on, I had already fallen out of the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and I couldn't get up at all in pain.
"Dogs fight people."
"Miss." Yixiu ran behind Haitang, and she was also a little worried. Although Yixiu still remembers Huo Starling's temper after so many years, Huo Xing dislikes such a presumptuous person the most, but fortunately, his wife is virtuous and virtuous...... Although this is the concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion, if Huo Starling is angry, what if he doesn't recognize her!
"Who is presumptuous!" A strong reprimand makes people afraid to listen to it.
Yixiu turned around in surprise and knelt on the ground with a puff. "Xiangye! The slave is an art show, and the slave is an art show! ”
Begonia's whole body froze, and when she came, she had already thought about the confession scene on the road thousands of times, but now she didn't dare to show her hand.
Huo Starling had just returned from the banquet, and he still had some wine on his body. He stared at Yixiu for a while, and it seemed that he finally remembered her. He spoke, his voice trembling slightly. "Yixiu? Didn't I let you go back to your hometown? ”
Yixiu saw that he thought of himself, and most of the heart in his heart had already fallen. She knelt on the ground and pointed to the begonias beside her, "Xiangye, Xiangye, slave, slave and maid, slave and maid ......"
Begonia turned around, removed the veil, and a smile appeared on her lips, and the pear vortex was shallow and beautiful.
"Daddy, I'm back."
It was like a thunderclap, shaking Huo Starling almost unable to stand. The eyebrows, the eyes, and the smile looked like his dead lady.
It's not just like, it's exactly the same!
In the court, Huo Xing, who has always straightened his back and holds power under one person and above 10,000 people, staggered a little, and looked a little sad. "Madame......"
Begonia just stood in place, still smiling lightly. Yixiu knew that Huo Xing missed his wife deeply, and he would admit his mistake in a trance when he saw someone who was so similar to his wife, so he reminded: "Xiangye, this is Miss, this is Miss of the Prime Minister's Mansion!" ”
After that, Yixiu opened the baggage, took out the small jacket inside, and unfolded it in front of Huo Xing. "When Mrs. left the Meng family in Liangzhou, she wrote a letter to Xiangye, and Mrs. praised Miss for her fair appearance in the letter, and also said that she had made a new light green dress and wanted to show Xiangye. The slave and maid were by her side when the lady wrote the letter, and the slave and maid were by her side! ”
Huo Xing's whole body trembled again, and his eyes finally shifted from Begonia's face to the little jacket.
Yixiu didn't care about the rules, got up from the ground, pulled up the sleeve of the begonia, and revealed the small bell on it. "I also know this Xiangye, this is chosen by Mrs. herself."
Huo Starling only felt that the sound of the little bell exploded in his ears, and with a bang, his whole heart was hot.
