Chapter 47: Dead or Alive?
Ou Qing saw Xia Ruixi's tangled appearance, and said softly: "It's okay, I'll take a look." You and Yugu sit here and wait with peace of mind. ”
Xia Ruixi glanced at the corner of the wall and meditated since he entered the house, pretending to be deaf and dumb Yugu, sighing slightly. What's the way, no matter how urgent it is, it's not just waiting. If Xia Ruibei really ran away, it would be okay, what she was afraid of was that she would have an accident.
Ou Qingjin went out and didn't come back, Xia Ruixi waited impatiently, stood in front of the window and opened a gap in the window, poked out, through the crack in the window, only to see Ou Qingjin and a strange man talking softly, and after a while, the man saluted. Ou Qing stood in the courtyard, not knowing what he was thinking.
Xia Ruixi called him softly: "It's cold outside, why are you standing stupidly?" ”
Ou Qingjin came back to his senses and walked in: "The person has been found, and he will be there soon." ”
As she was talking, Yugu suddenly stood up: "Someone is coming outside, probably the person you are waiting for." I went outside to take a look, and called me when I was done. Without waiting for an agreement, he went out first.
Sure enough, it didn't take a moment for Changshou to introduce a woman wearing a black hooded cloak, it was Xia Ruibei.
Ou Qingjin said in a low voice: "Wait a while, you must persuade her to think more about everything, think more about the good side, endure it, let it go, try not to cause trouble, try to live well, and let her not worry about the rest." ”
Xia Ruixi felt that his expression was a little wrong, and was about to ask him what was wrong, but Xia Ruibei's footsteps had already sounded at the door, so he had to stop talking, stepped forward to open the door for Xia Ruibei, and welcomed her in.
Xia Ruibei took off her hood and looked at Xia Ruixi with a faint smile.
Xia Ruixi pulled her to sit by the charcoal basin with some nervousness. As soon as she held Xia Ruibei's hand, she felt a little sad, that hand was so thin that only bones remained, cold and piercing, she couldn't help but look at Xia Ruibei's head. It seems to be injured in the sideburns or something, right? I don't know if there are any scars?
Xia Ruibei's hair was combed very smooth, her face was as white as jade, and she couldn't see anything, it could be seen that she was injured under her hair. Xia Ruixi breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it didn't affect his face. Xia Ruibei has nothing to rely on, and she no longer has beauty, but she is afraid that Zhao Mingtao will snub and bully her even more, and everyone in Chengwangfu can step on her head.
Xia Ruibei realized that Xia Ruixi was quietly observing her old injury, her expression was a little cold, she lowered her eyes, took hot tea, blew it gently, and did not speak first.
Xia Ruixi considered how to speak, not only to express his concern, but not to disgust Xia Ruibei.
Ou Qing saw that the situation was embarrassing, so he found an excuse to go out and leave the space for the two sisters.
After being silent for a long time, Xia Ruixi said: "Beibei, thank you for what happened last time." "Thank you first, thank you is a good word.
Xia Ruibei drank the tea slowly and methodically, and chuckled: "You spent so much effort looking for me today, just to thank me?" If it's a thank you, how long have you been back? Why don't I see you come to the door? What about thanks? ”
Xia Ruixi was quite embarrassed: "I've always remembered you, but there is no way." Now there's a chance, you...... What do you think? She and Xia Ruibei always quarrel without saying a few words, and they don't know why.
"How? What else? Self-inflicted! Xia Ruibei laughed at herself, and the green shadow under her eyes seemed deeper. Her pain is known only to herself, and she cannot be made public, otherwise even the last shred of dignity will not be maintained.
Xia Ruixi didn't care about her attitude: "Beibei...... In fact, my father and mother ...... "Although Mr. and Mrs. Xia don't say it in their mouths, and their posture is tough enough, they still remember Xia Ruibei in their hearts.
Xia Ruibei waved her hand to interrupt Xia Ruixi's words: "No need to say more. I know that it is my own bad mood that inevitably leads to anger. I'm actually very happy to meet you. Is the kid okay? What's the name? I heard it's a boy? She actually wanted to lean on Xia Ruixi's shoulder and cry, but they had never been so close, too far apart to get close.
Xia Ruixi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw that the sour on her face was finally replaced by calmness, and opened a gentle smile: "Yes, it's called Xinda, his grandfather's name." Very well-behaved, loves to laugh, looks like his father, but his hair is not very good, the weather is good another day, I will bring it to you. ”
"Okay." Xia Ruibei knew in her heart, the weather would be good another day, but it was just a kind word, the two of them didn't know when the next time they saw each other, where would they have the opportunity to see the child? She took out a brocade bag from her arms and handed it to Xia Ruixi: "A pair of pearls, it can barely be handled, take it and set him with a wish." I wanted to put a gold and jade longevity lock on him, but as you know, I can't get out. ”
Xia Ruixi didn't expect her to remember to prepare a gift for Da'er in this situation, and she was still moved in her heart, and took it happily: "I thanked his aunt for Da'er." Xia Ruixi has always known that Xia Ruibei is not a good person, she is selfish and cold, and thinks more about herself than others, but at every critical moment, she still has never completely extinguished her conscience.
Xia Ruibei barely squeezed out a smile: "I don't have much time, if there is anything, hurry up and say it." If it's a small favor, I can probably help if I can, if it's a big thing, I guess I can't help, didn't Second Master Ou die because I interceded for him? ”
Xia Ruixi saw her miserable expression, and she was still smiling freely, but she really pitied her from the bottom of her heart: "That incident, in fact, their family is very grateful to you." It's not your fault, you've done your best, and dying on the execution ground and dying on the battlefield are two different things. I came to see you, not to ask you to help us do things, but to tell you, no matter what, you have to live well, endure it, let it go, we will think about it, one day, you can come out. ”
Xia Ruibei sneered: "Ten years or twenty years? I'm afraid I can't wait for that day. As soon as she walked through the door, I was dead. You and I both know in our hearts that she wants to stand up when she enters the door, and I am the best object. If he wants to fulfill his filial piety to the new emperor, he naturally can't wait to treat me as a favor. No matter how much I can endure it, let me go, and people want me to live. ”
Xia Ruixi saw the hidden anger between her eyebrows, but she was afraid that she would be forced to be in a hurry, so she hurriedly persuaded: "What if you wait for a long time?" There will be a day. You don't have a deep hatred with her, you should be careful, be respectful, don't catch her in the wrong place, otherwise, it's okay to please her, she can give her whatever she wants, as long as she can live, it's no big deal. After a long time, she knew that you were not her enemy, and he ...... Well, I won't embarrass you. ”
What are the women in the back house fighting for? Competing for status and fame and pampering money, Xia Ruibei has nothing, but she is just an imaginary enemy, after a long time, the bride knows that Zhao Mingtao doesn't take Xia Ruibei to heart, so she won't care too much.
Xia Ruibei knew what Xia Ruixi meant, and shook her head with a wry smile: "He won't tolerate it." Not to mention how difficult it is to please the bride, just because Zhao Mingtao knows that she is currying favor with the bride in private, he will not spare her.
She's nothing, she's just the object of his anger, not the person on the tip of his heart.
Xia Ruibei glanced at Xia Ruixi lightly, and wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say it.
Xia Ruixi was unaware, frowned and said, "I know that it is the most difficult to survive in the cracks, but it is not impossible. She told Xia Ruibei about the Rong family's daughter's hoarding and selling of high-priced tea, "She shouldn't want to marry Zhao Mingtao." She must know in her heart that she is just a chess piece, and no one can tell the outcome in a few years, everything is fake, and money is the most real. You take a step back and give her face. If you don't please you, you will pretend to be crazy and stupid. "I don't know if people will agree to buy Xia Ruibei's safety at a high price with this new princess?
Xia Ruibei heard the word "money", her expression darkened, she used to hold a large amount of wealth in her palm, but now she is gone, there is nothing left, even herself, almost chewed to the point of no bones left. She really regrets it now, if she regrets selling medicine, she can eat it and die immediately, because it is not terrible to die, it is not unwilling to die, and it is terrible to live than to die.
Xia Ruixi saw that Xia Ruibei was gloomy, so he sighed: "That's it, you don't care about the rest, you just need to remember to keep to yourself, be careful in everything, and live well." ”
Ou Qingjin shook his head when he heard it at the door, the two sisters didn't talk about going together at all, they were all talking to themselves, each talking about their own thing, and then they said loudly: "It's almost time." ”
Hearing this, Xia Ruibei's feet suddenly weighed a thousand pounds, Xia Ruixi wanted to send her out, Ou Qing said solemnly: "Aunt Yu is next door, she seems to have something to find you." You go over and see, I'll send my third sister out. ”
Xia Ruibei glanced at him and knew that he must have something to talk to Xia Ruibei alone, so he left first.
Ou Qing bowed to Xia Ruibei first, and Xia Ruibei dodged sideways, "Brother-in-law, what is this?" Ou Qing said: "I thank my third sister for saving my wife and children's lives, and thank you for helping my second brother." I will definitely repay you for this kindness. ”
Xia Ruibei was stunned for a moment, and then there was a trace of blood on her pale face: "I'm also for myself, I just don't want everyone in this world to hate me." I helped her because I owed her, and now I am suffering from all this, but I brought it upon myself. You don't have to reassure me, you don't owe me anything, don't worry, I won't spoil you. ”
Ou Qingjin saw that she didn't even bother to say face, so he stopped talking to her about this, took out a pair of medicine from his sleeve and handed it to her: "The medicine you grabbed in Zhenglin Hall." ”
Xia Ruibei's lips suddenly turned pale, and her voice said sharply: "Why are you? "Why did he let people follow her? Spy on her?
Ou Qing said calmly: "I made the person, whether it is dead or alive, where it has come and gone, naturally there must be an explanation." The dosage of the medicine has been changed and it is very safe, but I hope you think clearly before using it, and don't regret it later. ”
Xia Ruibei looked up at the lead-gray sky, and said nothing with a calm face.
Ou Qingjin didn't look at her either, and continued: "Although you don't want to tell your second sister, I know that you actually have a plan. You're right, I don't want you to mess with my business. But I said that remembering your love is not just for you to be reassured, it can really help you, it depends on how you choose. To die, or to live? ”
