Ji Qingge carefully observed the terrain around Lower Jinhua Island and found that there was no other way than to take a boat over. Because she couldn't find Ji Qingling, she would swim to Jinhua Island in person.

The wind on the shore of the lake gently blows the weeping willows on the shore, bringing the fragrance of lotus flowers.

Ji Qingge sniffed the lotus fragrance and listened to the "Lotus Picking I Ballad" not far away. Following the prestige, I saw a large lake in front of you. The water surface of 10,000 acres seems to be connected to the horizon, and the lotus flowers of thousands of acres in the lake are blooming one after another, and the lotus fragrance is overflowing.

There are several ancient painting boats sailing in the lake, and the singing is coming from the painting boats.

Ji Qingge only remembered that before she went out, she heard her grandmother, that is, Yan Renshu's wife, mention it. It is said that Chang Bicui sometimes sold herbs at the pharmacy in Yancheng and returned to the grass shed, and would beg for herbal tea at the pier opposite Jinhua Island.

The old woman who sold herbal tea saw that Chang Bicui was pitiful, but she did not refuse Chang Bicui's request.

Moments later, the boat docked. A group of good-looking women dressed in light pink floor-length skirts got off the boat with painting fans.

There were two tall women walking side by side, shaking their fans and chatting.

Ji Qingge waited for them to take a closer look, only to find that the woman with thick eyebrows and big eyes on the left was Du Xuerou. The original Du Xuerou had a plump figure, but after the battle of Fengqi, Du Xuerou lost a lot of weight.

So much so that when Du Xuerou and Sikong Mustard Ling stood together, they almost made Ji Qingge unable to recognize each other.

After all, that Sikong Mustard Ling is a well-known beauty and talented woman in the Xiyue Dynasty. There are very few women who can be equal to her.

"Sister Mustard. My aunt is right, Yanzhou is picturesque, and the scenery of the four seasons is different. Since we are here, we will spend the summer in Yanzhou and then return to the ancient city of Shengjing. ”

Du Xuerou glanced at Sikong Jiaoling, but found a woman in black walking opposite. After taking a closer look, I found that it was Queen Yiruo Ji Qingge.

"Imperial ......"

Listening to Du Xuerou greet herself, Ji Qingge hurriedly gave her a look and motioned to the other party not to continue.

Du Xuerou smiled knowingly, and said to Sikong Mustard Ling and Mrs. Sikong, as well as General Du's wife: "Mother, aunt, you and Sister Mustard Ling will go home first."

I have something to do and want to talk to Sister Ji. ”

"Okay."

Mrs. Sikong smiled warmly and said, "Let's wait for you on the other side." ”

In the hands of the old woman at the dock, Du Xuerou spent money to buy a cup of herbal tea and handed it to Ji Qingge. "Please drink tea." ”

Ji Qingge smiled and took the teacup, hid his face and drank a cup of herbal tea. He put the bamboo teacup on the old woman's small tea table and said, "Thank you, Sister Rou'er." ”

The old woman's surprised eyes fell on Ji Qingge's face, and said, "Mrs. Yan, why did you run out at noon?" Your child is still young, and you have to guard him. ”

When she heard the old woman call her Mrs. Yan, she was not angry. Instead, he smiled modestly and said, "Thank you mother-in-law for your concern." ”

Of course, she knew very well in her heart that the "Mrs. Yan" in the old woman's mouth was Yan Xiyun. Because since Emperor Jinchen came to Jinhua Island and joined the Yan Mansion, he regarded himself as the son-in-law of the Yan family.

The surname was naturally changed to the surname Yan.

"Mrs. Yan, if you ask me to give some money to the Chang family, I won't be able to give it to her." The old woman put down the folding fan in her hand and took out a few taels of silver from her sleeve.

put it in Ji Qing's singer and said, "That Chang hasn't come to me for a few days to drink tea." I thought she was sick from heat stroke, so I asked someone to inquire.

Only then did I know that she was no longer there. ”

A trace of doubt flashed in Ji Qingge's eyes, and he asked, "Did you get sick and left?" ”

The old woman shook her head fiercely and said, "Chang's family lives at the foot of Yuheng Mountain on a snowy day, in the grass hut she built herself.

The snow in Yanzhou failed to make her frostbite. On this hot day, can she still be afraid? ”

When Du Xuerou heard this, she couldn't help but be concerned: "That means that Chang was forced to death by someone?" ”

When the old woman heard this, a trace of panic passed through her eyes. approached Du Xuerou and said, "The girl guessed correctly, but ah, you have to be cautious in your words and deeds."

We're on the side of the road, not at home. ”

Du Xuerou took out a gold ingot from her sleeve, Ji Qingge took out a fine jade bracelet, and said, "Then the mother-in-law wants to sit in the private room of the painting boat with us and talk?" ”

The old woman confiscated the gold and the jade bracelet. said: "But anyone who asks about Chang's family is either an errand in the court, or a ......."

The omitted words were well known to all three of them.

Ji Qingge and Du Xuerou helped the old woman collect the tea table, bring the teapot, and enter the private room of the painting boat. Ji Qingge took out the ingot of gold and said to Xiao Er on the boat: "No matter who comes, they won't be allowed in." ”

"Thank you little lady, the little one must be guarding outside the door."

The shopkeeper took the gold, smiled and exited the private room, closing the wooden door.

The old woman saw that the door of the private room was also closed, so she whispered: "The old body is not familiar with the Chang family, but she lives a very lonely life.

It may be that she doesn't handle things well on weekdays, so not many people are willing to pay attention to her.

She drank tea with me and would talk to me every time. ”

Chang said that the copper money she earned from selling medicinal herbs was only enough for her to barely make ends meet. The shopkeeper of the pharmacy is picky about collecting herbs, she is old, and she is not as strong as before, and she can often go into the mountains to collect medicines.

The fields in Yuheng Village and the house in Yancheng were all sold by Chang's son. The silver money obtained was not given to a few taels of Chang's.

Chang was sent by her son before his death, and received the imperial city of Jing'an to enjoy blessings. Who knows, but he was at odds with his daughter-in-law and was driven back.

"Mother-in-law, has the Chang family ever mentioned to you about the other relatives in her family?"

Ji Qingge asked the old woman with a vague smile.

The old woman couldn't help but tremble when she was looked at by Ji Qingge's sharp eyes. Only then did she see clearly that the little lady sitting opposite her was not the little lady she brought to the Chang family with the money.

The little lady was gentle and her eyes were very warm.

But the little lady in front of her, her eyes can perceive people's hearts, and she is not an ordinary shrewd woman at first glance. She was dazzled at the time and admitted her mistake.

The old woman was silent for a moment before she whispered, "Little lady, you should be ...... Chang's enemy, right? ”

Chang herself also said that she had committed several lives on her hands.

One of them was her son's concubine Niu, who had taken pills on her own and caused her grandson to be gone. Therefore, together with her daughter-in-law, she poisoned and got rid of Niu.

Even if the Niu family at that time no longer relied on the Ji family to live.

The old woman glanced at Ji Qingge timidly, and said in a low voice: "Chang's daughter-in-law is still alive, and it is said that she is still on the outskirts of Jing'an. It was Chang's granddaughter who said it. ”

Chang told her that she had a granddaughter who looked like a fairy and could do martial arts. Therefore, she was favored by her granddaughter's man, who was said to be a prince.

He took Chang's granddaughter out to fight, and during the war, he had children with her.

The old woman picked up the teacup and drank the tea in the cup in one gulp before saying, "It is said that the prince almost became the crown prince, but later, he still let his brother become the emperor."

Chang's granddaughter came back not long ago, and Chang's heart ached when he saw her skinny appearance. ”

Chang didn't know what happened to her granddaughter, either to find a child, or to find a husband. Cheng Tian said something that Chang couldn't understand, and he couldn't move to take a knife to go out and die with anyone.

As a result, just as Chang stopped her granddaughter, she was accidentally injured by her granddaughter's short knife. The wound is deep and there is too much blood loss. Before the kind passers-by rushed to the hospital with Chang on their backs, Chang was gone.

The old woman remembered that the little lady in front of her, who looked like a pair of twin sisters, was more concerned about Chang herself.

But the little lady in front of her cares more about the people around Chang's.

The old woman was afraid to face the sharp gaze of the little lady, which would make her feel a sense of fear for no reason. She stood up and said, "If nothing else, the old man will take his leave." ”

Ji Qingge asked Du Xuerou to escort the old woman off the boat, while she went to Yuheng Mountain alone. If you love it, how can you not pay attention to this or the hot online article, and chat about the online article together~
