Chapter 279: Defenseless
The entire Xingyong Marquis Mansion is busy, and almost no one is idle from top to bottom, and there are figures going back and forth everywhere. Suddenly, a lotus-colored figure quickly jumped out of the corner, dodging a few passing figures, and was preparing to go in the direction of the back garden.
As a result, he bumped into Youhan who came back from the kitchen, "Jade Cicada, where are you going?" ”
Jade Cicada was startled, and immediately hid her hands behind her back, with a sneer on her face, "I don't have anything, I want to go and see if there are anything else that needs to be packed." ”
Youhan looked at the jade cicada's weak expression with sharp eyes, and then looked at the direction she came out, and couldn't help tilting her head and asking, "Where do you want to go to pack up your things, this is the house where Young Master Maruko lives, and it's not your turn to serve, what are you going to clean up?" Her eyes were like torches, and she looked at the jade cicada from head to toe several times, seeing that she drifted her eyes uneasily, she reached out and grabbed the jade cicada's hand, and said sharply: "What is hidden behind you, it can't be that you stole Mrs.'s things." ”
"No, no." Jade Cicada was startled by her movements and struggled nervously.
Youhan half-squinted his eyes and threatened: "You still say no, hand it over quickly, otherwise I will tell Mrs. to go, saying that you stole something." ”
The jade cicada was so frightened that she almost knelt down, and took out the cloth bag behind her tremblingly, and Youhan frowned and opened it to see that it was a shabby dress, which didn't look like something in the Hou Mansion.
She looked at Jade Cicada in confusion, "Where did you pick up this rag clothes?" "It looks like a close-fitting garment, but depending on the size of the garment, it has to be worn by at least four or five-year-old children. Whether it's meatballs or dough, it's impossible to have such clothes.
Just when Jade Cicada was so anxious that she was sweating profusely but didn't know how to answer, Bi Die's appearance relieved her, "What's wrong with Sister Youhan?" Jade Cicada, why haven't you taken this tattered dress back, it's been a few days. Bidie said with some disgust: "I said that you don't have no money, you can't make a clean new clothes for your brother, you have to pick up these shabby ones." ”
"For your brother?" Youhan glanced at it and seemed a little relieved.
Although he was dissatisfied with Bi Die's tone, he finally didn't make Youhan suspicious, and Yu Chan hurriedly responded: "Yes, my brother grows up fast, it's too wasteful to make new clothes for him, I think I can make do with it." ”
Youhan didn't let her guard down on her, and still sneered: "Then you just say it, make it so sneaky, I thought you stole something." ”
Jade Cicada whispered: "Sister Bidie said that you can't bring things back from outside, so I want to send them out quickly." ”
Youhan raised her voice and reproached loudly: "Didn't Madam say that you can't go out without permission, and you still want to go out?" ”
Jade Chan's face was panicked, her eyes fell on the cloth bag, and she hesitated: "Then what should I do with this clothes?" ”
Youhan glanced at her, "Put it away yourself, and wait for the wind to pass." After speaking, he didn't bother to entangle with her, walked around her side, and walked towards Shaohua's house. When he was far away, he explained to Bi Die: "Usually look at her a little more, don't let her hands and feet be unclean." ”
In the eyes of Youhan, the jade cicada can only be a crow even if it flies on the branches. She is too utilitarian, obviously there are not many opportunities to appear in front of Shaohua, and she can win Shaohua's attention every time. And because of this, she also made Shaohua fall down, she shouldn't be too harsh on the jade cicada, and after following Shaohua for so long, the only one who can overpower her is Chu He. Now that she was scolded by Shaohua because of a little girl, Youhan has long been dissatisfied in her heart, but Jade Cicada probably knows herself, so she doesn't show up in front of her much, so Youhan can't catch anything wrong.
I wanted to say a few words in Shaohua's ear to be careful of Jade Cicada's hands and feet, but she happened to run into Yan Kaizhi and Shaohua talking, so she had to find another time.
Yan Kaizhi was comforting Shaohua, seeing that she was all soldiers at home, Yan Kaizhi also felt very hard, "Don't be too nervous, Jingli is fine for the time being, several patients have been solved, now that the city gate is closed, Jingli is safe for the time being, and the rest will wait for the next arrangement." "Although many people have personal grievances against Jingzhao Mansion's actions, in Yan Kaizhi's opinion, this is a quick and effective way." But I heard that Pu'an's side is fine, as long as Heyang's side is also resolved, the city gate can probably be opened. ”
Hearing Yan Kaizhi say this, Shaohua smiled reluctantly: "That's good, but it scares me, and I think the city is full of wind and rain." ”
In fact, since she heard that Pu'an had smallpox, she has never slept peacefully, and she is always worried that her son is too young. It just so happened that Maruko had a cold at night, and he had a low-grade fever, and he didn't invite the doctor into the house to let the clan take him back, and he was worried about Maruko, and on the other hand, he was afraid that someone would bring the illness in.
Yan Kaizhi pulled her to sit on his lap and gave her a reassuring smile, "This matter is still small, and the incident in Pingzhou is called the city full of wind and rain." ”
Shaohua's attention was diverted suddenly, "Didn't the second master send troops, why is there still chaos, does the Xu family still dare to resist?" "Shouldn't you really jump over the wall in a hurry and really rebel?
Yan Kaizhi shook his head and said softly: "That's not it, it's a business." It is said that there was a descendant who claimed to be Mrs. Xuan, and he stepped on it hard, even if it was the imperial court, he didn't dare to come hard. "How can you say that this is the ancestor of the family, who dares to move around, the emperor can't just dig up the ancestral grave of other people, it was still a family hundreds of years ago.
Shaohua swallowed his saliva, and his face couldn't hide the look of surprise, "But isn't Mrs. Xuanjun no descendants?" ”
She remembered that Mrs. Qianjun had a child, but she died before she was born. And the merchant Langjun did not marry for life after the death of Mrs. Qianjun, so he got a very high reputation, is there an insider?
Yan Kaizhi said in a low voice: "She doesn't have it, but it doesn't mean that her man doesn't have it." "Whether it's a concubine or an heir, whoever is recorded in her name is her descendant. Besides, Mrs. Qianjun's husband did not marry for life, but I haven't heard that he doesn't even have a concubine, so what is the situation of this branch, you have to check the merchant's genealogy to know.
"I haven't heard of it for so many years, why did a descendant pop up for no reason. So how is Pingzhou now, has the treasure been dug up? Shaohua muttered, still focusing on the treasure, and looked up to see that Yan Kaizhi didn't listen to her, but looked thoughtful, she couldn't help but wonder: "What's wrong, is there something else?" ”
Yan Kaizhi looked at her curious baby appearance, thought for a while, and then said, "It's nothing, I just heard some rumors." ”
Shaohua got up and moved a chair to sit opposite him, posing as a good student who was seriously waiting for Mr. to take class: "Let's listen to it." ”
Yan Kaizhi's face was indifferent, and his voice was steady, which made people feel a sense of joy and convincing, "According to legend, Mrs. Xuanjun recruited her husband in the ring, fell in love with the merchant Langjun, and after burying Uncle Xiao Guo, she traveled around Dachuan with her husband as her home. The two were deeply in love, and Mrs. Suan had a son, but he was mismarried before he was born. It is said that he was seriously ill because of this, so he went back to Pingzhou to recuperate, and finally he was unable to return to heaven and passed away before he was thirty. This is also a thing that future generations often regret, a strange woman with both talent and appearance is destined to die after all.
However, if she lived a long life, maybe she would not have been so surprised and emotional.
Shaohua nodded as he listened, without interrupting him. Recently, there is another theory that Mrs. Suanjun was on the way to Dachuan with her husband, and her husband took a concubine and was pregnant. Because of this, they returned to Pingzhou, and she had an unpleasant time in Pingzhou, because of the confiscation of property, which made her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law turn their faces. ”
Hearing this, Shaohua finally couldn't help but interject, "What's the matter with the merchant, and it's not the property of the merchant, do they still think that Mrs. Sujun will give the money to the merchant?" "I actually want to be greedy for my daughter-in-law's dowry, this merchant is too shameless, not to mention famous families, even ordinary people have to make people laugh. In some families, the daughter-in-law died of illness without leaving the house, and the mother-in-law's family not only had to send the dowry back, but also had to paste many gifts to the door, otherwise the mother's family would come to the door to make trouble.
Yan Kaizhi glanced at Shaohua's indignant expression and said, "Naturally, it is impossible, but if Mrs. Xuanjun has a future, this will ultimately belong to the merchant." ”
Although this is true, but Mrs. Xuanjun has no out, could it be that a concubine born to a concubine is recorded in her name, and she also wants to be cheeky to get a piece of the pie, which is obviously bullying Uncle Xiao Guo for having no children!
Shaohua was already grinding his teeth in anger, and he couldn't wait to let out this evil breath for Mrs. Xuan, clenched his fists, and scolded fiercely: "It's so shameless!" And didn't the merchant Lang Jun say that he had a deep relationship with Mrs. Xuan, why did a concubine suddenly appear again, and she was pregnant. "What kind of hellish couple is this kind of couple, who has the reputation of being an infatuated man, but they live a happy life with a beautiful concubine.
For a while, Shaohua was disgusted by this rumored infatuated man.
Yan Kaizhi was confused by Shaohua's anger, and persuaded Haosheng: "Why are you excited again, you have said that it is rumors, who knows what is going on." Although he didn't agree with Shang Langjun's approach, he was indeed benevolent and righteous, and the concubine was not a wife in the end.
In short, it was probably because they returned to Pingzhou for the pregnancy of their concubines, but they quarreled with the merchants because of the property, and Mrs. Xuan's child was also aborted at that time. Mrs. Suanjun, who lost her child, was once depressed about life and wanted to go out for a walk, but was rejected by the merchant. His own child died, but the concubine's child was jumping alive in front of him, and no one felt uncomfortable. After a long period of depression, she became ill, and she couldn't escape from this cage, and Mrs. Sujun finally had to die of depression.
But in the eyes of future generations, the life of a strange woman is not discussed by the length of time, but by the fact that she has done so many thrilling things. Her death will certainly be regrettable, but it will soon be forgotten, and it will be remembered that her husband wept bitterly at her grave and vowed not to marry for life, which is a happy ending.
Almost every child has heard the story of Mrs. Suan since childhood, and most of them praise her legend and envy her for having such an infatuated husband. There are only a few ladies who yearn for her short and wonderful life, and Shaohua is naturally one of them.
Now let her know that Mrs. Qianjun's life is actually not exciting, it can be said to be embarrassing and helpless, as if the faith she has always insisted on has been punched hard, and her heart hurts.
In Shaohua's view, the merchants are simply too deceitful, and it is no wonder that over the years, the merchants have been scattered and the family background has declined.
"By the way, this descendant who calls himself Mrs. Xuanjun should not be born by that concubine, if so, it would be too brazen, the bad roots of the merchant have been inherited from generation to generation!" Shaohua had the urge to be angry for Mrs. Xuan.
Yan Kaizhi was trying to calm her restlessness, but was suddenly interrupted by a rush of footsteps.
I saw a little maid kneeling in front of Yan Kaizhi with a plop, and shouted with tears in her eyes: "Master Hou, madam, it's not good!" Little master, he has a fever! ”
