Chapter 275: Sacrificial Turmoil (1)
He looked at her sideways, waiting for her to look at her. The two looked at each other and smiled at Xia, "If you say it's true, that's true." ”
"I will listen to you if you say anything." Cao Cao was coquettish.
"That's true."
"Really?"
"Really."
"Really?" Cao Cao asked uncertainly, why did this sound so tongue-twisting.
The two of them laughed out loud at the same time, laughing and laughing and no longer speaking. The two of them rested their heads on their knees and looked at each other.
"I love seeing you smile. May you smile every day from now on. Cao Cao said sincerely.
"Ah, I don't hide my best wishes for you. May you one day sweep away the wolf smoke and get your wish, and may you be reckless and chic in the future with wine and songs, and your descendants will be long. ”
This is my best wish to you, I don't know if it will come true.
Although history can't, but in my heart, it can.
That's enough.
Sacrificial turmoil
"Mrs. Huan asked her subordinates to bring you a message, she has asked King Wei for her life, and King Wei has agreed." Cui Qingshui came to pray.
"Okay." Xiang Xia nodded in a deep voice, "It's just troublesome." I didn't want to disturb her peace, but I needed her help this time. If you have to work for her, you go to the storeroom and pick up some good things to send to her. ”
"My subordinates understand."
"Has Guo Zhao contacted you over there?"
"She gives you peace of mind that everything is going according to plan."
"Okay."
In a few days, it is a big day for the Cao family to worship their ancestors, not only the Cao family, but also all households have begun to prepare for ancestor worship activities. This so-called traditional festival handed down from history - the Ancestor Festival, also known as the "Winter Clothes Festival". On this day, people pay tribute to those who have died.
According to the past practice of the Cao family, the lady of the lord needs to lead the ladies in the backyard to carry out worship activities.
Every year it is hosted by Bian, and this year is no exception. But when it comes to the ancestors, all aspects must be sloppy, so it is necessary to be extra careful and painstaking in handling. As a result, Cao Cao would always dispatch the Huan clan to assist.
This year, when Cao Chong's accident happened, the Huan clan may be unintentional and unable to be busy with the sacrifice anymore. Xiang Xia approached Huan Shi and showed that she could do it for her.
Huan has no objection. In fact, Cao Cao also had this plan for a long time, and he changed the person to assist this year. He always felt ashamed of Huan's family, and just wanted to take care of her well, and couldn't bear to let her work hard. What's more, Huan's spirit is always not good, so important, he doesn't want any accidents or mistakes.
But if the Huan family is excluded, there is no candidate who suits his heart in the backyard. Most of the remaining women are used to being pampered on weekdays. Either they are careless, or they lack leadership, or they are not attentive enough to know how to do it.
Naturally, except to summer.
Cao Cao was still thinking about how to open up to her and ask her to help with this. As a result, Huanshi found him, asked to resign from the position of assistant, and recommended Xiang Xia to him. He was still worried that Xiang Xia would be reluctant to agree, but Huan's words reassured him. It turned out that she had already discussed with Xiang Xia, and Xiang Xia had promised to help her with this.
Xiang Xia is not only helping Huan's family, but also helping him. In this way, Cao Cao has no reason to allow it.
On this day, Zhao walked by the Pavilion Lake.
"Recently, the house has been busy, and there are people everywhere. It's still quiet here. "Zhao is graceful and has a light gait.
"King Wei has always attached great importance to the ritual of sacrifice, and the people in the palace dare not slack off." The personal maid beside the Zhao family echoed, and then pointed again, "Madam, it's better to go over there again." ”
"It's fine."
Zhao walked towards a quieter and more secluded place, but saw Guo Zhao and her personal maid around the corner. It turns out that Guo Zhao is also here.
Zhao was about to step forward to greet her: "Guo ......"
I saw Guo Zhao leading her personal maid to the depths, and the two of them went to the back of a rockery. Zhao was a little puzzled, but still followed.
But when they heard the conversation between their masters and servants, they stopped.
"Guess what my mother just told me." Guo Zhao said.
"The slave doesn't know." The maid paused, and then tentatively guessed, "Could it be that it is related to Mrs. Xia again." ”
"Not bad."
Zhao listened to the truth on the other side of the rockery, and it turned out that the master and servant had something to say after hiding in the rockery.
Is it related to Xia's. The Bian family has also been jealous of the Xia family for a long time, and it seems that the Bian family can't help but make a move. Zhao's heart was itching and he wanted to listen to it again. Simply lay on the rockery regardless of the image and got closer to eavesdrop.
"Xia has been closed to the door before, so we didn't have a chance to attack her. But this time, the Huan family came forward to ask the Xia family to assist her mother on her behalf, so the Xia family will definitely be present at the sacrificial ceremony. We have to seize this opportunity. Guo Zhao said solemnly.
"What does Mrs. Bian mean?" The maid also asked with concern.
Guo Zhao changed his words and said coldly: "Disfigure her!" ”
"Ahh What the? The maid was frightened.
Not only is it a maid, Zhao was also frightened when he heard it, and almost screamed. Fortunately, Zhao's personal maid hurriedly covered her mouth, so she was not revealed, and she avoided embarrassment.
"Yes. Mother meant to make her face damaged, so that she could no longer be favored by her father. "Most men are superficial animals who think in the lower half of their bodies, and a large part of the reason why Xia was able to attract Cao Cao should not be attributed to her appearance. Although she can no longer be favored by Cao Cao, this is too absolute. However, once her appearance is ruined, the favor will always be less than before.
This is beneficial to the Bian family after all.
"But if it is known by King Wei, King Wei will definitely investigate and investigate it strictly." The maid was worried about making a noise.
"Afraid of what? Who hasn't had a catastrophe or an accident. Didn't Gongzi Cao Chong also die in a natural disaster last time, as long as we are careful in what we do, don't be shown by our father. And isn't there still a mother on top of it, and the mother has already begun to prepare and contact Qin Tianjian. Afterwards, the Qin Tianjian Committee went to his father to make a statement, saying that it was unfavorable for the passing year, and the feng shui of our Cao family this year was not good, so the little boy and the lady in the backyard were affected one after another. Guo Zhaoyin said with a smile.
"You mean, we're going to create an accident for Mrs. Xia." The maid is also a smart person.
Guo Zhao smiled and nodded.
"However, there is no room for error in the sacrificial ceremony. How do we do that? ”
"Who doesn't let things go wrong? Could it be that there are people who have not cleaned carefully enough, and accidentally forgot the glass shards under the spiritual tablet of the ancestors. Or the subordinate who stumbled, and pushed Xia again without paying attention. Mother has also taken care of these things, you can rest assured, in the end, it will not be up to us. ”
"Then the slave and maid are relieved."
Guo Zhao laughed sarcastically, "Mother, she has been using this method all year round, letting her subordinates carry the black pot for her." Mother hasn't missed yet, so we don't have to worry about that. Only, there is a little. ”
"What?"
"We've got to figure out how to sneak the broken glass in. This is also the main task that my mother gave me. Guo Zhao sighed helplessly, "Mother, she has to preside over the plan, and hundreds of people have to listen to her call all day long, which also means that hundreds of pairs of eyes are staring at her." She really couldn't do it, and she didn't have time to be distracted. Only we can do it for her. ”
"But Mrs. Bian, it's inconvenient for her, and it's inconvenient for you, madam." The little maid said sadly, "You forgot that you and your son went to the Buddhist hall to copy and recite the scriptures." Childe has been fond of taking you on trips lately, and now is a crucial time to compete for the throne. There are not only hundreds of pairs of eyes staring at Mrs. Bian, but also hundreds of eyes looking at you. Madame, you can't take any chances of doing this, it will also hurt Childe. ”
"I naturally understand this truth. But this was ordered by my mother, and I could not refuse. "Guo Zhao is not worried.
The little maid thought for a moment, and then proposed, "Madam, why don't you go to the other ladies for help." ”
"Heh, who can I find. Will they really help me? Guo Zhao shook his head.
"Madam, now the people in the court are passing it on, if there is no accident, the throne of this world should be inherited by our son. In the future, the prince will be called the king and the king, and you will become the princess, or even ......" The little maid didn't dare to say any more. The remaining half of the words are a great rebellion.
"Hey, Hugh is going to talk nonsense." Guo Zhao also stopped.
The little maid said aggrievedly, "Madam, the slave is telling the truth. Didn't Childe promise you that if he can ascend to the throne in the future, he will correct you, Madame. According to the slave maid, you first put down your face and ask the other ladies for help, and get the matter done first, so that you can explain to Mrs. Bian. As for whether the other ladies are willing to help, the slave maid thinks that as long as he is a smart person, he will agree to help you. Madame, you will be honored and rich in the future, who is willing to lend a hand when you are in trouble, we will remember her good, and we will return to her in the future. Wouldn't it be a great joy for all? ”
"You are not unreasonable, but if you do so, you will only be afraid of falling into the mouth. I don't want to, there is a handle in the hands of others. Guo Zhao said worriedly, "Besides, I really don't know who to look for at this time." None of the ladies in the backyard can be used except for the Huan family and the Xia family. Xia is our enemy, and Huan is like a sister to her. Say, who else can you turn to? ”
"How is Mrs. Zhao?" The maid said.
"Mrs. Zhao......" Guo Zhao also thought about this person.
When Zhao heard them mention themselves, he pricked up his ears to listen.
"Huh." Guo Zhao said contemptuously, "Do you know what the Xia family said about Mrs. Zhao." ”
"The slave doesn't know."
"It's quite insulting, and I'm just talking to you privately. Xia said that Mrs. Zhao was a "big-minded and brainless" person. Guo Zhao pursed his lips, and seemed to be difficult to speak.
"How can Mrs. Xia say that, Mrs. Zhao." The little girl smacked her tongue.
Big chest and no brain. This is not only an attack on people's bodies, but also a violation of people's self-esteem.
