249 Jiangbei farewell
"Concubine Niangniang, the emperor has a ...... please"
Grandpa Luan stood on the steps and stretched the door.
"The emperor is really, the palace is just a little more than a few words with the eldest girl who haven't seen her for a long time......"
The voice suddenly became delicate, and he took out a brocade box from his sleeve, which was intricately decorated and extremely gorgeous. Put it in Cheng Xueyan's hand: "A little heart, the big girl has the right to accept it." ”
After finishing speaking, he walked towards the Feiyun Hall with a variety of demeanors.
Cheng Xueyan opened the brocade box......
Suddenly laughed, and then raised his hand......
But he withdrew it again, sneered on his lips, and put the brocade box in his sleeve.
——————————————————
On the third day of October in the fourth year of Kangjing, the emperor issued a decree to remove Cheng Zhun Huai Shangshu from the title of Shangshu and his son Cheng Cangyi's position as the captain of the light cavalry, repatriate to his hometown, and confiscate all family assets; In addition to the title of Gu Qian's captain, his son Gu Haoran was the head of the household department and Gu Haoxuan Hongqing, moved out of the Gu Mansion and confiscated all family assets.
It is already the emperor's grace, and everyone is thankful.
Cheng Fu.
Even if they don't have to be dismissed, most of them are gone, and some of them who look a little good have already been left in the mansion by Fu Yuanshan, and the rest are waiting to receive severance pay.
Severance pay was paid by Cheng Zhunhuai.
Although it is said to be "confiscating all the family assets", it is also a little soft to bring out, and now it is distributed to everyone, although it is not much, it is just a master-servant affection.
The subordinates wept and left one after another.
But there are also those who refuse to leave.
Even if they were repatriated to their hometowns, they would live in poverty in the future, and they couldn't afford to support their subordinates, but Pan'er and Bingtong knelt on the ground and begged to go with their masters.
"Now there is no one to be your master, hurry up and go your separate ways......" Cheng Zhunhuai muttered.
Pan'er and Bingtong couldn't cry.
"We have never regarded our master as our master, and our master has never said that we are seen as a person. For so many years, the master has treated us like daughters and sisters, just imagine who will leave their relatives in times of crisis? ”
"Besides, the master still wants to give us money in such a time of crisis, for fear that we will not have a good life, if we are ungrateful, are we not as good as beasts?"
Du Yingzi suddenly burst into tears.
She is just greedy for cheapness, and when she saw her cousin Du Mizhen in the house, she had already replaced her in countless dreams. This time, she listened to Fu Yuanshan's instigation, and got the long-envied purple gold inlaid mica jade bead chain from Qin Gulan, so she stole the letter out, and then counted the days with her fingers, waiting for the phoenix crown to add a veil, but she didn't want to wait for a letter of resignation.
She has been with him for more than ten years, and she has been honest with him, but in the end, it ended up like this, even Zhen'er's little slut lived in Yingyixuan, holding the newborn cub and smiling at her, and she could only stand here with her daughter.
But she has reduced everyone to such a point, how can she be good...... My cousin has been in a daze, and she hasn't looked at her from beginning to end, and the rest of the people only think that she is transparent, and their eyes obviously see her, but they just cross over, and they don't even have an expression, even if they beat and scold, but they treat her like this...... It's a terrible taste.
She knew that the wisest thing to do now was to leave, but where could she go? She is a weak woman with a daughter who is congenitally deficient...... I had no choice but to follow them cheekily to the Beijiang River, and when I turned around, I hurriedly laughed flatteringly, but ......
Gu Mansion.
As soon as the subordinates have been dismissed, only Xiaoxi and Bitong want to stay.
The master of the Gu Mansion is not as good as the master of the Cheng Mansion.
Qin Manhe screamed: "This is no longer a family property, what else will I give you a monthly record?" Isn't it time for you two locusts to suck the blood for so many years? Besides, the masters have no place to live now, so where will they place you? Go back and forth from where it's too late! ”
glanced at Cheng Xueyan again, and snorted coldly: "This calamity star has entered the door, and the calamity can't be stopped, and it still doesn't leave, is it possible to harm us so much that there are no bones left?" ”
"Manhe, this is the will of heaven, don't blame Xue Yan." Gu Taiwei, who had been silent, opened his mouth: "It's already this time, we should work together to tide over the difficulties, how can we talk about breaking up?" ”
Now that he has made his mouth public, Qin Manhe has to swallow no matter how much dissatisfaction he has, and he just keeps plucking out Cheng Xueyan with his eyes.
Cheng Xueyan didn't bother to pay attention to her, and the Gu family was far from having the good luck of the Cheng family at the moment. Although Cheng Zhunhuai's property was confiscated, he could still return to his hometown to live in Cheng Zhunhe's place temporarily, but once the Gu family was confiscated, there was nowhere to stay.
She thought about it again and again, and pulled Gu Haoxuan over: "Do you want to know where my house is?" ”
Gu Haoxuan suddenly understood what she meant, glanced back at the big family, and shook his head.
"Too small? If it was said that it was impossible to live in the past, but now it ...... I just calculated, one for my father-in-law and mother-in-law, one for my eldest brother and sister-in-law, one for us, one for Nian Tao and Xun'er, one for Tingfang, Xiaoxi and Bitong...... You can also stamp it then......" she deliberately made a very happy appearance.
What a blessing it must be at this moment, it was originally a place for himself and Bitong to settle down, but he only lived for a few days when he ran away from home. The court seized the property of Gu Cheng's two families, but she didn't know that she still had a house, and now this house can solve the problem of the family's settlement, it can't help but say that it is very fulfilling, but ......
Gu Haoxuan shook his head and touched her little brain.
She didn't understand what he meant, could it be that the Gu family also had property like hers that was not known to the imperial court?
But if that's the case, what kind of tantrum is Qin Manhe still having there? Dai Qianping was not worried, even Gu Qian, who was always smiling, had a bitter face, and finally had to go to the broken temple in the south of the city to settle down temporarily.
Cheng Xueyan really can't bear to see everyone so down, so she wants to relieve people from danger...... I don't understand what Gu Haoxuan thinks, is he willing to watch his family in trouble?
"Big Niece ......"
She was about to speak when she heard shouts behind her.
Cheng Zhunhe ran panting, and before his feet could stand firmly, he took out something from his arms: "This is the ...... that the eldest brother asked me to hand over to you."
He said, looking around cautiously.
This catastrophe made him extremely cautious.
Cheng Xueyan opened it and saw that it was a title deed, and her name was actually written on it.
"This is what the eldest brother bought many years ago, and he said that he left it for you to use......"
Shall it be said that there is a father and a daughter? I can't help but burn under my eyes.
"Daddy...... Leaving tomorrow? ”
"Well, let's stay in Jiangbei for one night."
"I'll send him tomorrow ......"
——————————————————
In the north of the river in October, the cold air hits people.
The five masters of the Cheng family, two subordinates, and Du Yingzi's mother and daughter, who never left an inch, stood on the shore.
The river is sparkling, reflecting the dark gray skylight, the dark clouds are heavy, and the rain is still resting.
This is the most suitable weather for farewell, no need to speak, your heart and eyes are wet.
There are so many things to say, but they can only be reduced to a few simple words of "take care of yourself" and "take care......
Cheng Zhunhuai pulled Gu Haoxuan aside to speak.
Cheng Xueyan couldn't hear what they were talking about, only to see Gu Haoxuan nodding frequently.
She saw that her brother was already sitting in the cabin, staring blankly and ignoring everything.
That heroic brother, that majestic brother...... gone, Qu Leyao's death has taken him away, and only a shell remains in the world, and the state of losing his soul and his heart is like ashes falling on his eyes and knocking on his heart...... Dull pain.
"Brother......" she called astringently.
Cheng Cangyi slowly raised his head, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and it turned gloomy in a blink of an eye: "I'm leaving, take care of myself in the future......"
It seems to sigh and talk to itself.
She nodded desperately, but he looked away.
Cheng Xueyan covered him with a thin cotton blanket, and was careful not to touch his arms and legs, which had been fixed with wooden planks.
When she came back from the palace that day, she went directly to Zhuang Xinyu, and wanted to kneel and beg, but Zhuang Xinyu didn't say a word and came with her to heal her brother, and didn't charge a penny, only sighed that Zhongliang was trapped, and said that Qingshan would not worry about no firewood. This is tantamount to sending charcoal in the snow in the eyes of too many cold words on these days, making people feel that there is still a little warmth left in this bleak autumn.
The boatman was already standing at the bow of the boat urging.
The reluctant goodbye only got more tears.
Cheng Xueyan looked at them standing on the bow of the boat, all in coarse cloth coats, and hairpins tied up, vaguely remembering the scene when she first saw them in Furong Hall......
If it is cruel to say that things are not people, why is it not a kind of sorrow?
The tears were blurry and clear, and only the warmth of the man came from his side.
Raising his eyes to look at him, he suddenly understood what is the old world, what is the same as each other, even if the streamer is flying, as long as he is with him, he can face everything fearlessly......
"Wait, wait......"
Suddenly, there were several urgent calls behind him.
When I turned around, I saw a slender figure rushing towards me, but it was too anxious, and when I fell, I quickly got up, limping and trying to move......
"Qitong?!"
Cheng Xueyan hurriedly waved her hand to stop the boat that was leaving leisurely, and ran over to support Qitong.
The people on the boat didn't seem to hear the call from the shore, and they got farther and farther away.
"Puff ......"
Gu Haoxuan jumped into the water and struggled to swim towards the boat.
Qitong was so anxious that her face was full of tears, and she kept whimpering: "Wait, wait for me ......"
It turned out that Fu Yuanshan had bad intentions and singled out a beautiful girl from the dismissal personnel, and naturally she was indispensable, so she was arranged in his room. Fortunately, there are always girls who can't wait to get on the top, such as Youcui......
And so for days on end.
Fu Yuanshan only thought that she was firmly in her hands, and she was not in a hurry, and was intoxicated with the joy of being a groom every night.
So she took the opportunity to collect the soft that could be carried, escaped at night, hid in the inn for a day, and inquired about their departure today, so she hurried over.
Cheng Xueyan knew why she came, she had always been timid and weak, she dared to make such an earth-shattering move, and she couldn't help but feel sad and happy in her heart, with Qitong, can her brother recover a little bit of vitality?
The boat is gradually sailing back, and the water is rippling and rattling......
Gu Haoxuan, who was drenched, accompanied her and looked at the boat again.
Qitong stood at the bow of the boat and waved desperately to them, her blue skirt fluttering in the wind, turning into the brightest stroke in the gray mist all over the sky.
