Chapter 117: Crooked Seedlings
In the prince's mansion, Zhao Xuanyi had just come back, and he heard about the Jiang family going to find Chu Xi.
Jiang Fan stood on the side, his face a little nervous: "Prince, Mrs. Jiang Shao is not either"
"Okay, I didn't let you come here to defend yourself." Zhao Xuanyi was a little upset, Zhao Xunyan had obviously been arrested and put in prison, but he was still as leisurely as in the palace, these days he even heard rumors that he would be released, and now there is such a thing in the Jiang family: "Don't see anyone from the Jiang Mansion during this time, your brother will personally deal with it." ”
"What do you want to do?" Jiang Fan asked in surprise: "Jiang family, but there is such a promising one, can His Royal Highness the Crown Prince look at the concubine and the child?"
Zhao Xuanyi raised his eyes to look at her indifferently, a little more alienated than usual: "This palace has always thought that you are dedicated to helping me." ”
When Jiang Fan heard this, he hurriedly lowered his head: "But the concubine is the Jiang family after all, don't you often say it before, the prince, flesh and blood affection"
"Alright." Zhao Xuanyi seemed reluctant to say more, and his cold face made Jiang Fan dare not say a word: "If he kills someone, he should pay for his life, this is the law of the imperial court, the Son of Heaven is guilty of breaking the law and the same crime as the common people, he is just a little doctor of the Tai Academy, how can he go unpunished?" ”
Jiang Fan was stung by his indifferent words, and his eyes were full of tears: "In the end, the prince is annoyed that the Jiang family went to find Miss Chu." ”
"Ridiculous." Zhao Xuanyi immediately denied it, but he knew very well in his heart that if it weren't for this, he wouldn't be so eager to punish Jiang Er, and Zhao Xunyan was about to come out, before he came out, he naturally had to get rid of such a handle.
"You are also tired, you should rest more with your child, don't think too much, go back." Zhao Xuanyi said that, and then walked away, Jiang Fan looked at his back and called again, but his footsteps never stopped.
The maid on the side came over: "Niangniang, listen to the prince." ”
"I naturally listen to him, but my brother" Jiang Fan even though he hated his mother and wanted to get rid of the child in her womb, but that brother was in-law.
"Mrs. Jiang can understand it if she wants to, and she won't blame you."
After hearing this, Jiang Fan could only let his tears flow: "Go and write to Jiang Fu." After that, he lowered his head and stroked his stomach: "When this matter is over, please invite Chu Xi to come over." Jiang Fan's tone was pitiful, looking at Zhao Xuanyi's indifferent back, and he couldn't stop his tears.
In the Chu Mansion, Chu Ji read the content of the letter, his face was solemn, on it, all of them were the evil things that Monk Huineng and Jingkong had done in the past few years, how did he know that he wanted this? How did he know about the evil things they had done?
"Does the abbot have anything else to say?" Chu Xi asked.
Yun Songyi shook his head: "No, he only asked me to give this to you, saying that you will understand it when you read it." ”
Chu Xi watched it several times, could it be that he wanted to let himself do the right thing for the sky? Chu Xi smiled and shook his head, that old monk would definitely not let himself kill people, but why did he have this information. What are you going to do with yourself?
Chu Xi couldn't figure it out, so she didn't want to, put the letter aside, looked at the sky outside, and it was not early: "When are you going back?" ”
Yun Song Yihaha laughed: "Why do you still want to drive me away." ”
"If you don't go back, your grandfather should be worried." Chu Ji said.
Yun Songyi pouted: "Your cousin is still on the mountain, I don't want to go back, but I don't want to go to Yanfu either." Now that Yun Songyue is there, pleasing my two aunts and brothers and sisters all day long, I look embarrassed. ”
Chu Xi looked at her and chuckled: "Then I'll pack out a side room for you."
"Okay, that's what I mean." Yun Songyi smiled.
Chu Xi smiled helplessly and shook her head, and asked people to pack her and send her to the carriage.
At the gate of Chu Mansion, the big girl in an apricot dress had tears in her eyes: "Sister Xi'er, I really don't want to leave"
Chu Xiwaner: "If you really don't want to marry, then make it clear to your grandfather, if you don't say it, prepare to get married, if you marry reluctantly, it will not only harm yourself." also harmed Li Xiao. ”
Yun Songyi paused, and looked at Chu Xi in a daze: "Really? ”
"You can go back and think about it." Chu Xi said and looked behind her: "What about Zheng Yun?" ”
As soon as Zheng Yun was mentioned, he became angry: "I don't care where he is, it's none of my business if he dies!" After that, he realized that he shouldn't lose his temper at Chu Xi, and looked at her apologetically: "Sister Xi'er, I'm sorry"
"Okay, I won't blame you, but you're not young now, you have to think about the consequences of everything, and the consequences of recklessness are great." Chu Xi said with a smile, the girl in the ascendant, she knows and understands the expectations and ignorance of the future, feelings and family in her heart.
Yun Songyi exhaled heavily, held back some tears, and then turned to get into the carriage.
When the carriage left and the curtain was lowered, she couldn't help but cry out loud.
Green Sprouts watched from the side, feeling a little distressed: "Miss, Miss Yi'er will be fine." ”
"You're worried, if she really goes to the Li Mansion, you will definitely get along very happily." Chu Xi smiled, and Lu Ya suddenly blushed: "The slave doesn't dare to fight with Miss Yi'er." ”
Chu Xi looked at her like this, chuckled, the cold wind blew, she couldn't stop coughing twice, and was about to turn around and leave, but a carriage stopped in front of the mansion, threw down a person with a linen belt, and left quickly.
Green Sprouts exclaimed, and the guards in the mansion immediately rushed over.
Chu Xi frowned, looked up at the carriage again, but the carriage had already gone far away, and he couldn't see any details.
The guard stepped forward and kicked the burlap bag, and a woman's voice came from the sack, and Green Sprout heard who it was, and hurriedly stepped forward to untie it. When he saw the woman who was tied hands and feet and gagged inside, he hurriedly said to the guards: "Quick, untie it!" ”
Chu Xi also walked over, looked at the embarrassed green sandalwood, and said in shock: "You were arrested by the enemy?" ”
Lu Tan didn't expect Chu Xi to ask like this, but nodded: "I was captured by the old enemy, and it was the people of the King of Freedom who saved me." ”
"How do you know that it was the people of the Easy King who saved you?" The green sprouts were puzzled, and the green sandalwood touched it in the burlap bag, and after a while, he found a token: "From the Joyful Palace." ”
"Is it really your enemy who captured you?" Chu Xi looked at her lightly.
Lu Tan's big eyes were round, and the guards on the side untied the rope tied to her feet, and she rubbed her ankles in pain: "These bastards, they are tied tightly, and they hurt me to death." ”
Chu Xi looked at her, her martial arts skills were not low, Lin Fu taught her a lot during that time, she only ordered Lu Tan to listen in Chu Bingsong's courtyard, she had no reason to be quietly arrested by the enemy who didn't know her whereabouts at all, and even if she was captured by the enemy, there were no extra scars on her body, thinking that she should have another relationship with the so-called 'enemy family'. Zhao Xunyan saved her, it should just be a coincidence.
Looking at the green sandalwood's concealed appearance, Chu Xi didn't ask any more: "Since it's okay, let's go back and rest." ”
"Yes." Seeing that Chu Xi didn't ask much, Lu Tan was also relieved.
"By the way, have you translated what Miss asked you to translate? Let's go back and show the young lady. ”
"Not yet, almost." Green sandalwood was busy.
Chu Xi walked in front and listened, her expression faint.
At night, the Chu Mansion fell into silence, but Chu Xi planned to go out for a walk.
At the gate of No. 72 Tongfu Lane, Nancheng, the door was closed, but there was a burst of broth fragrance inside.
Green Sprout stepped forward and knocked on the door, and the movement inside suddenly disappeared, and someone walked to the door carefully: "Which one?" ”
"The girl is looking for you to have something, and I will go to the entrance of the new alley in the west of the city for a while and wait for the summons." After the green sprouts finished explaining, they turned around and left in the carriage.
No one was stunned, so they got dressed and went to the new alley.
Chu Xi was in a small mansion at this time, and Yu Niang followed behind Aunt Hong, refusing to leave for half a minute.
"Why is Miss here at this time?" Aunt Hong smiled while making tea.
Chu Xi chuckled: "Just come and see Yu Niang, this child has a hard life, and I have to bother you to take care of it for a while." ”
"Don't worry." Aunt Hong responded with a mouthful of words, and brought the brewed tea to Chu Xi: "Taste it, this is white tea." ”
Chu Xi took it: "How many fewer homeless people are there in the city?" ”
"Nearly seven percent less, now the weather is slowly warmer, the snow is cleared, it is the time to sow crops, and those who can still return to their hometowns have also returned to their hometowns, there is no township to return to, the prince has also been resettled, and the rest are waiting to be resettled, and at the beginning of April, they are all gone." Aunt Hong said with a smile.
Chu Xi took a sip of tea lightly and said with a smile: "This tea tastes good." ”
"No, I'm planning to have some more shipped from my hometown to see if I can do some small business in the capital." Aunt Hong said with a smile.
Yu Niang followed behind and pulled her sleeve: "Aunt Hong will definitely be able to do a good job." ”
"Haha, then I'll borrow your auspicious words." Aunt Hong smiled, Chu Xi also smiled, and at this time, Lu Ya also walked in from outside: "Miss, it's ordered." ”
"Hmm." Chu Xi bowed slightly, got up and said: "When the matter of the homeless people is over, I will ask someone to send some silver money over, and the small mansion before will also be given to you, so you can live a good life." ”
Aunt Hong smiled and bowed: "Miss, don't worry, if there is anything else in the future, you can also come to me." ”
Chu Xi smiled and looked at Yu Niang: "Yu Niang is following Aunt Hong for the time being, okay?" ”
"The person who harmed my mother's relatives, apart from the pure space monk, is there anyone else?" Yu Niang's little eyes were red, and Chu Xi chuckled: "It's gone, there is only clear space, and now she is dead." ”
Yu Niang lowered her eyes and stopped talking, and Aunt Hong hurriedly smiled: "Don't worry, child, these things will be forgotten after a while." ”
Chu Xi sighed softly: "I hope." With that, he left with the green shoots.
Now Aunt Hong knows her identity, and she is also the person found by Lu Tan, so she hasn't investigated them, but after thinking about it, she always feels that something is wrong, so she would rather not use it than break it.
Leaving from here and arriving at the agreed new alley, Chu Xi saw a few people who were squatting in the corner with their necks bent and waiting, and Lu Ya saw it and smiled: "These people look at it now, they really don't look like mountain bandits at all." ”
Chu Xi smiled lightly, and the carriage stopped after a while.
Chu Xi got out of the carriage, and without waiting for them to speak, Chu Xi said, "Is your boss still him?" Chu Xi pointed to a person.
The five of them were stunned and nodded, and Chu Xi smiled at this time: "Very good, from today onwards, don't tell anyone your real name again." I will also give you a new identity, from this day on, you are not allowed to tell people what you have done, once you find out, you will never use it again, understand? ”
Several people were stunned and nodded hurriedly: "That girl, our identity"
Green Sprout took out a few deeds of sale, which were all brought by the old lady, but many of them were invalid, and it was okay to bluff people, and no one would really come to check on the left and right.
"Xu Gui" green sprouts were distributed to people one by one, but most of them were illiterate, so they remembered the names that the green sprouts read when they gave them.
"My name is Xu Gui?"
"That's right." Chu Ji said: "In the future, you will be Xu Gui, a person from the capital, and the old father used to be a servant for people." Chu Ji said: "During this time, the capital is investigating the homeless people, don't expose your identity and don't be cleaned up, you know?" "In the future, they will need to wander the streets, and they will inevitably be sent away as homeless.
"Yes." Xu Gui immediately responded. I seem to be quite happy with my new name.
"Well, I'm here this time to ask you to check something for me." Chu Ji collocation.
Xu Gui patted his chest: "You said, we have long been familiar with this group of people in the capital who want to eat, and it is very smooth to ask for some news." ”
Chu Ji looked at him as clever as he was, and asked Lu Ya to take a purse full of silver to him: "Then you go and help me deliver a letter to Lord Han in Dali Temple first, maybe you can do it?" ”
"This Dali Temple is not easy to enter"
"How is it not easy to enter, there are so many errands in Dali Temple, there must be those who like to drink flower wine, some who like to gamble, or those who like silver, so much silver, enough for you to do things." Green Sprout Road.
When Xu Gui heard this, his thin eyes lit up: "It makes sense, it makes sense, it's like we are messing around." ”
"The government is much more greedy than the rivers and lakes." Chu Ji said lightly, Xu Gui looked at Chu Ji, and admired it very much, he was so generous and bold. is also smart, such a woman is more powerful than ordinary men.
Xu Gui bowed respectfully towards Chu Ji and bowed his hand: "Don't worry, girl, I, Xu Guiding, will handle this matter for you." ”
"Good." Chu Xi smiled lightly: "If there is any news, go to the back corner door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, knock on the door three times, only you are allowed to go alone, if there is no urgency, I will not look for you." ”
"Okay."
After Chu Xi finished explaining, she got into the carriage and left with Lu Ya.
Now she just tried Xu Gui and a few people to see if she could use it, but even if she could use it, it was only a small use, and she couldn't use it much, and in the future, she had to think about it again.
When Chu Xi returned to the Chu Mansion, it was already dark, and Lu Tan was waiting at the back corner door early, and as soon as Chu Xi came, he stepped forward and said, "Miss, why are you going, why don't you take me." ”
Look at the anxious look of the green sandalwood. Lu Ya smiled: "You were just taken away, what if your enemy comes again as soon as you go out, we don't have the kung fu to rescue you." ”
Lu Tan smiled: "Don't worry, those people won't come again for the time being." ”
Chu Ji listened to her determined tone, blinked, didn't say anything, and went back to the Zhujin Pavilion to send them all down, and then went back to the room to prepare to rest.
After washing, Chu Xi sighed heavily, thinking about the mess in front of her, but she still had to sort it out little by little and then solve it, the emperor's edict should come down in two days, and she had to think about what to do after entering the palace.
"What's the sigh?"
A familiar voice came from the bed, and Chu Xi's hand that was about to cut off the wick of the candle also paused slightly. Hearing his voice, inexplicably, I felt so happy.
"You're back." Chu Xi left the candle flame and turned her head to look into the window, while Lin Qingyu was holding her head with one hand and looking at her lazily.
Chu Xi glanced at a few extra white hairs on his head, and walked over: "The poison hasn't been solved yet?" ”
"It's going to be a while. But don't worry, I won't be able to die for a while. Lin Qingyu said jokingly, but he couldn't hide the paleness on his face.
Chu Xi sat down on the edge of the bed: "Third Senior Sister has solved it?" ”
"It's a nuisance." Lin Qingyu covered his face with a headache, and immediately looked at Chu Xi: "Xi'er, hug me, I'm so tired that I can't stand up straight." ”
Chu Xi looked at him coldly: "Then you can rest well and don't run around." ”
"Okay." Lin Qingyu responded cheerfully, but lay down and took Chu Xi's hand: "I seem to have heard that you miss me too." ”
Chu Xi's face was slightly red, and she turned her face away: "Who said that." ”
"My feelings tell me." Lin Qingyu bent his eyes, looked at Chu Xi's slightly red face, and said, "During the time I left, no one bullied you, right?" ”
Hearing this, the corners of Chu Xi's lips couldn't help but smile: "Who can bully me." ”
"Who knows which one doesn't have long eyes." Lin Qingyu smiled and tugged at her sleeve: "He'er, come into the bed, don't freeze." ”
"I'm not cold."
"I think you're cold."
“”
Chu Xi was just lying down, and there was a dividing line made by an empty space in the middle, but Lin Qingyu turned over and entangled her with her hands and feet; "I dreamed. Dream that you are gone. ”
Chu Xi pursed her lips slightly, will she disappear? She was born again, would God play this joke on her?
"Are you just back?" Chu Xi deliberately avoided this question.
Lin Qingyu hugged her and rubbed comfortably: "Well, I just arrived, and I haven't had time to investigate whether anyone bullied you." ”
Chu Xiwaner: "The emperor may summon me to the palace, I told Mrs. Hou, she will accompany me over." ”
Lin Qingyu paused first, and then laughed: "If you have anything, you have to find your family, and your own family is the most reliable." ”
The smile on Chu Xi's face also became bigger and bigger: "Zhao Xunyan should come out during this time, the prince will let the Yang family go to control the water, I'm worried that something will happen." ”
"The King of Joy will not let go of this opportunity." Lin Qingyu chuckled: "But don't worry, I'm here, don't be afraid." ”
Chu Ji listened to his words, and felt a lot more relieved, and the two of them said this intermittently, and they both fell asleep after a while. Half-asleep, Lin Qingyu said in a daze: "By the way, I forgot to tell you." The dead soldiers that Zhao Xunyan kept in the nunnery at the beginning have gone back again, and I asked Lin Fu to bring people over to exterminate them now. ”
Chu Xi listened to this before falling asleep, the corners of her mouth were raised, how could she like this person who loves to hold grudges.
At this time, in the prison, there was only a candle swaying back and forth, Zhao Xunyan sat in the corner of the wall, listening to the reply of the visitor, his face was dark: "I was transferred back, how could I be discovered so quickly?" "The secret room under the nunnery was never discovered at the beginning, and he transferred everyone away for the sake of safety, and now he was all killed when he was transferred back.
The person who came shook his head slightly: "The subordinates don't know what's going on, those people don't look like officers and soldiers, but more like people in the rivers and lakes." ”
"Can you find out which force it is, and why do you want to destroy the king's people?" Zhao Xunyan frowned and asked.
"It seems to be someone from Wuji Pavilion, but the specific reason has not been found by the subordinates."
When Zhao Xunyan heard this, he was so angry that his fists made a sound: "It's Wuji Pavilion again, what kind of sacredness is in Wuji Pavilion, and I can't get along with this king repeatedly!" ”
The man's expression darkened, and he said, "Back to the prince, we received a letter from Wuji Pavilion to know about their actions tonight, and the person who wrote this letter also said."
"What else?"
The man hesitated for a while before he spoke: "The man also said that if you want you to be in the capital, just do your own thing, and don't hurt the innocent again." ”
"Innocent?" Zhao Xunyan snorted coldly: "Who is this innocent?" ”
"I don't know."
Zhao Xunyan's eyes were cold: "What about the letter?" ”
"The subordinate of the letter just finished reading it, and it was taken away by someone in the dark, and the subordinate fought with her, it should be a woman."
"Woman" Zhao Xunyan's face was gloomy: "Go, deliver a letter to Zhenniang, I want to go out as soon as possible." "Now that the dead soldiers he has kept are constantly being discovered and disposed of, if this continues, he is afraid that he will die himself before the day he kills the emperor!
After the order was ready, Zhao Xunyan looked up at the flickering candle flame and muttered: "Wuji Pavilion, it's Wuji Pavilion again, Chu Xi, is it you?" ”
Jiao Simiao, who was in the prison opposite, listened to his voice secretly, and opened his mouth in a hoarse voice: "Lord Wang, do you want to do something to Chu Xi after you go out?" ”
"Not necessarily." Zhao Xunyan coldly hooked the corners of her mouth, she would become her own bride by then, what a pity if she disposed of it.
The long night, surging in the capital, there is the warmth of spring, and there is an increasingly turbulent undercurrent.
Early in the morning, Chu Xi saw Ning's eyes swollen from crying.
Chu Ji raised her eyes and looked outside, the green shoots had already made people open the curtains, and they could see the sunlight outside the house, and the maids and women were busy taking care of the yard, preparing to plant this year's flowers and plants.
Ning was tired of crying, so he stopped: "Miss Chu, this time I beg you, if you refuse to go again, my second uncle will have only a dead end." ”
After admiring the scenery outside the house, Chu Ji turned her eyes on Ning's body: "Young lady, why do you see that your sister-in-law is running around for this second uncle of the Jiang family?" ”
As soon as Chu Xi's words came out, Ning immediately stopped making a sound, a woman and a man were involved, no matter how she said it, it was not good, but she was doing such a thing again.
"I" Ning didn't know what to say, only looked at Chu Ji pleadingly: "Miss Chu, this is just a gesture for you, after the prince knew that I came to you yesterday, he lost his temper at Concubine Jiang, and personally tried the case overnight and sentenced him to death!" ”
Ning cried really hard, but Chu Xi didn't feel pity, just looked at her and said: "Young lady, instead of you running around, it is better to let the old lady of the Jiang family and Mrs. Jiang go to the victim's house to ask for forgiveness, if they are willing to understand, the death penalty may be changed to exile, so as to save a life." You are begging me here to do something that violates the law and damages the reputation of the prince, how can the prince not be angry? ”
The Ning family was surrounded by Chu Xi: "You mean to let the old lady and them go over, but the Wang family is also a big family, the sons who can go to the Tai Academy, which one of the families is simple, how can they easily agree." ”
"If the young lady doesn't try, how do you know that it won't work?" Chu Xi said, looked at the young lady who was eager to try, and said: "But it's useless for you to go, unless Old Lady Jiang or Mrs. Jiang goes in person, you should go back to Jiang's mansion." ”
"I'm this"
Ning also said that the emperor's edict had arrived, and ordered Chu Xi to enter the palace early tomorrow morning to meet the holy driver.
"Miss Chu is feeling better?" The father-in-law asked.
Chu Ji bowed: "Thank you for your public concern." ”
"That's the concern of the Sprinkle family, it's the concern of the top, Miss Chu is fine, tomorrow will enter the palace early, don't be late." The father-in-law smiled and said, who is the emperor good to. Naturally, they are good to everyone.
Chu Ji asked Lu Ya to take a purse and stuff it to him, and the father-in-law glanced at Ning Shi, who had red eyes like rabbits next to him, and said with a smile: "This is the young lady of the Jiang family, why is she crying like this here in Miss Chu?" ”
Ning Shi hurriedly lowered his head: "I just talked to Miss Chu about homework, and when I mentioned my hometown, I lost my temper." ”
The father-in-law didn't ask much, and said a few more words to Chu Xi, and then turned around and left.
Seeing that the emperor was also going to summon Chu Xi, Ning thought that he had another opportunity, so he was busy speaking, but Chu Xi said first: "Young lady, you came over early in the morning, you must not have had breakfast yet, do you want to stay here or go back to Jiang's mansion to use it?" ”
"I'm here to stay"
"Let's go back to Jiang's Mansion, I want to come to Chu's Mansion for breakfast and it's not to your liking. And you have stayed here for so long, and when the prince knows about it, he will inevitably be angry again. Chu Xi said with a smile.
Seeing that Chu Xi refused to help, Ning gritted his teeth: "Then I'll go back first, and then come back to talk to you." ”
Chu Ji didn't respond, and when Ning saw this, he had no choice but to leave.
Lu Tan saw her leaving, so she inserted her waist: "This young lady of the Jiang family is really"
"Well, she was also forced to be helpless, she didn't say anything when she came, it was just annoying to her ears." After Chu Xi finished speaking lightly, she went to have breakfast, but the breakfast was not used up, so Chunzhi ran over in a panic: "Girl, Bai Xue committed suicide!" ”
"Can you call a doctor?" Chu Xi walked outside as she spoke, Chun Zhi choked up and couldn't speak, and when Chu Xi arrived, Yingchun was sitting on the ground with a confused face, while Bai Xue was lying on the bed, holding a hairpin in her hand and a blood hole in her temple.
In such a situation, where do you still need to call a doctor, it is already dead.
Chu Xi looked at Bai Xue, in just a few days, her cheeks had been emaciated to the point of nesting, her eyes were open in horror, but she seemed to be decomposed, and her thin body was leaning on the bed obliquely, silent.
"I didn't do it, I just came over and asked her to borrow something, who knew that she suddenly went crazy, pulled out the hairpin and poked it on the head." Yingchun hurriedly explained.
Chunzhi didn't know what to say: "The slave maid has only been away for a short while, and Sister Bai Xue is she"
"Which of you told her that Mother Jiang was dead?" Chu Ji said, Bai Xue has been greatly stimulated since the incident last time, and people have become in a trance, barely relying on the warmth of Jiang's mother to live, and now that she knows that Jiang's mother is dead, she will definitely be like ashes.
Chu Xi's eyes were a little red, Bai Xue was one of the few people in this mansion who had a clean heart, but now she died so miserably.
Chunzhi and the two maids who were waiting shook their heads again and again, and Lu Tan looked at Yingchun on the ground with annoyance: "Say, did you say it?" ”
"I'm just talking fast"
Chu Xi didn't listen to her explanation: "What are you borrowing from?" ”
"Slave Slave Slave"
"Say, what are you talking about!" Green Sandalwood dissatisfied.
Yingchun was frightened, so he hurriedly said: "It's the little young master, who said that the jade bracelet that Bai Xue was wearing on his wrist was rewarded by the old lady before, and he wanted to take it as a gift and buy a few clothes."
"A few clothes, you will kill Bai Xue." Chu Xi's tone was extremely cold, as if she was trying to suppress her anger.
Yingchun saw that the situation was not right, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "Miss, the slave maid really didn't mean it, but when she took the bracelet, she casually said that Mother Jiang was dead, and she was crazy, it's really not about the slave and maid."
"Throw it out." Chu Xi didn't bother to say more, Yingchun saw that it was just like this, and he was a little relieved, but Chu Xi added: "Throw her out with Chu Hong for me!" ”
"Yes!" Lu Tan responded, and took a few mothers-in-law to carry Yingchun to the east wing, and threw out all the people and things inside.
Bai Xue's death, Chu Xi doesn't blame Brother Hong, but his greed has been revealed since he was a child, and she has no patience for the crooked seedlings who can't be broken back.
Looking at the spring branch that couldn't cry, Chu Xi asked Bai Xue to be buried with Jiang's mother.
Chasing the Jin Pavilion seemed to suddenly become deserted again.
When Chu Dai'er and Chu Xiuxiu came over, they were both carefully dressed, Chu Dai'er was dressed in plain clothes, with a soft and elegant temperament, while Chu Xiuxiu was wearing heavy makeup, and the fat powder on her face was about to clump and fall off.
Seeing Brother Hong and Yingchun crying at the door, Chu Xiuxiu hurriedly laughed: "My big sister is really powerful, even a child will not let go." ”
Chu Dai'er glanced at her: "You go back and tell Aunt Nie, but don't listen to your father, take this child back and raise it under your hands." ”
"Why? When Brother Hong is the only sister-in-law in Chu Mansion, his father will definitely pave the way for him, fourth sister, it won't be that you think you don't have a mother to raise him, so you don't let my mother raise him. Chu Xiuxiu looked at her suspiciously.
Chu Dai'er's chin raised slightly, and the corners of her mouth raised: "If you think so, then let it be." With that, he stepped in.
Chu Xiuxiu snorted lightly, hurriedly walked to Brother Hong'er's side, took his hand and said, "Brother Hong." Big sister bullying you? ”
Brother Hong has always disliked Chu Xiuxiu, and he has had disputes with her before, but now it seems that no one cares about him except for this third sister: "I'm going to tell my father!" ”
"Okay, then you go slowly, but don't fall. If you don't have a place to go for the time being, go to my yard, Aunt Nie will definitely treat you like a baby. Chu Xiuxiu squeezed out a smile.
"Really?"
"Of course it's true." Chu Xiuxiu said busily.
Yingchun saw that she was deliberately flattering, and she was also busy: "Yes, Brother Hong, the slave maid also heard that Aunt Nie is a gentle person, if you go to her, you will definitely not be bullied." ”
"But she's just an aunt." Brother Hong is still a little disgusted.
Chu Xiuxiu's eyes darkened, gritted her teeth and smiled: "Auntie is caring, there are not so many flowery intestines, I will take good care of you." ”
When Brother Hong heard this, he said, "Okay, I'll go talk to my father." With that, he ran towards Chu Bingsong's courtyard.
Seeing this, Yingchun thought that there would be a good life in the future, so he hurriedly saluted Chu Xiuxiu and hurriedly followed.
Chu Xiuxiu waited for them to leave, and stomped her feet angrily: "Really, what is it, it's just a seed born in the outer room, and it's not as good as my aunt!" After speaking, he turned his head and entered the Pavilion of Chasing Brocade.
When she arrived, Chu Xiu was already sitting steadily, because Bai Xue committed suicide, the mood of several girls didn't seem to be too high, Chu Xiuxiu said as soon as she came: "Yo, what's wrong with the big sister in this yard, I cried and mourned, why are you crying before my mother is dead." ”
Chu Dai'er took a shallow sip of the teacup, and didn't say anything, Chu Dai just didn't hear her speak, and said, "You guys are here to ask about entering the palace tomorrow." ”
Chu Xiuxiu was a little annoyed when she saw that she was treated as air, but Chu Xiuxiu said about entering the palace. She swallowed this breath again, twisted her waist and sat down on the side, and with her charming appearance after sitting down, Chu Xi was a little suspicious that she was not going out to see the young lady at all during this time, but to the Qinglou.
"Father has already mentioned to me, you will enter the palace with me tomorrow, I have already asked the emperor." Chu Xi said lightly.
"Seriously!" Chu Xiuxiu was so happy that since she spent some money to enter the palace last time to meet the so-called concubine, there has been no news, and she didn't expect to be able to go in again this time, and she began to get excited.
Chu Xiwaner, but didn't say more.
Chu Dai'er turned her head to look at her and said with a smile: "I heard that the eldest sister also invited Mrs. Hou to come along." ”
"We are all girls who have not left the cabinet, and we don't understand the rules in the palace, so it is best to have someone to take care of it." Chu Ji said lightly, and Chu Dai'er laughed: "Mrs. Hou is really kind-hearted, and she already loves her future daughter-in-law in every way, which is really enviable." "So this Anping Marquis Mansion, she must marry it!
Chu Xi saw the predation in her eyes. The smile became bigger and bigger, and he took out a letter from his sleeve: "I heard that the fourth sister misses her biological mother, but I don't know if I can know the southern Xinjiang script?" ”
Chu Dai'er was puzzled: "What do you mean." ”
Chu Xi asked someone to hand her the letter: "You help me see what this letter means." Two days ago, Jiang's mother was killed, and when she died, she was dragging this in her hand, I opened it and read it, it turned out to be a letter from southern Xinjiang, which looked a little old, I think it was written a long time ago. Chu Dai didn't seem to understand the content of the letter, and said casually, but Chu Dai'er couldn't stop shaking her hand after reading it, and then suddenly grabbed the letter and looked at her with a smile: "I know some, but I may have to go back to check the information to know what is said in it, big sister, I'll take this letter back first."
"No need." Chu Xi said, let the green sandalwood go down and get it, Chu Dai'er looked at the approaching green sandalwood, and her face suddenly became a little nervous. When Lu Tan's hand reached over, her elbow deliberately touched the teacup on the table, and the tea was poured out, wetting the letter paper, and the words on it quickly pasted together.
"I was so careless, I'm sorry big sister, I didn't mean to." Chu Dai'er hurriedly stood up and said.
Lu Tan looked back at Chu Xi in shock, and Chu Xi smiled lightly: "It's okay, I also asked people to copy more than a dozen copies, it doesn't matter if this one is gone." She took out the original and showed it to Chu Dai'er, just to confirm from her reaction whether what was said in the letter was true. Now, the answer is yes.
Chu Dai'er didn't expect Chu Ji to have this trick, and she also understood her thoughts, she took a breath forbearingly, and the corners of her mouth were coldly hooked: "Big sister is still so smart about ice and snow." ”
"Before you were sent to the family temple by your grandmother, you praised me in every possible way." Chu Xi smiled lightly.
Chu Xiuxiu looked confused on the side, completely unaware of what was going on.
Chu Daier: "Sure enough, I don't go against my big sister now." That's right. Since it has been determined that we can enter the palace tomorrow, then we will not bother much. With that, he saluted with Chu Xiuxiu, turned his head and left.
Lu Tan waited for them to leave, and then asked Chu Xi tentatively: "Miss, did you really make someone copy the backup?" ”
"Well, I copied it myself." Chu Ji looked at Lu Tan fixedly, and Lu Tan said: "But you don't know the Southern Xinjiang script, it is easy to copy it wrong, this original is destroyed like this, and the content in it is afraid that it will be forever."
"It's okay, I know some southern Xinjiang characters, and it's okay to transcribe them correctly."
After hearing this, Lu Tan froze in place: "Do you know?" ”
"Not much, just a little, have you finished translating, if the translation is good, show it to me." Chu Ji said.
Lu Tan hurriedly lowered his head, and his hands were nervously clenched into fists: "It's almost." But it's still a little unsmooth, so I'll sort it out. With that, he hurried away.
Chu Xi looked at her like this, and knew that Lu Tan didn't plan to tell him the true content of the letter from the beginning, so he couldn't help but be a little disappointed, but he didn't say anything, but in the future, he couldn't believe her wholeheartedly.
Chu Xi felt a little desolate in her heart, there was one less person she could trust.
Green Sprouts came in from outside and said, "Miss, my cousin is here and says I must see you." ”
"What did you say?" Chu Xi asked lightly, Lu Ya thought about it, bit her lip slightly, and said, "Listening to my cousin's meaning, he seems to have been beaten by someone when he went down to court today." ”
"I was beaten to the government, what are you looking for me to do?" Chu Xi was puzzled.
Lu Tan sighed, took a few steps forward, and whispered, "I heard that it was no one else who beat people. It was the great general Zheng Yun. ”
Chu Xi was a little embarrassed: "What is the reason for beating people?" ”
"It was said that my cousin was walking too slowly and blocking his way."
Chu Xi was dumbfounded, Zheng Yun was purely engaged in things. But what did Li Xiao do when he came to find out, did he know about Yi'er and Zheng Yun.
Chu Ji had a headache, but she still said, "You let him come over first." ”
"Yes." Green Sprout nodded hurriedly and went out, and after a while, Li Xiao came in, and the injury looked worse than expected, but he didn't mention Zheng Yun when he opened his mouth.
"Big sister, are you going to enter the palace tomorrow?" Li Xiao said.
"What's wrong?" Chu Xi wondered how he knew.
Seeing her nodding, Li Xiao hurriedly said, "Can you find a way not to enter the palace tomorrow?" ”
Chu Ji was even more strange: "Cousin Xiao has something to say, why don't you say it directly?" ”
Li Xiao gritted his teeth: "I also heard the news in the Hanlin Academy, didn't the young lady of the Jiang family come to look for you many times before, and now that Jiang Er has been sentenced to death by the prince, I heard them say that Mrs. Jiang will enter the palace tomorrow to see Concubine Su, I'm worried"
Seeing that it was just this matter, Chu Ji chuckled: "Don't worry, it'll be fine." "It's just that tomorrow, I'm afraid that I want to see this Su Guifei, and I have been waiting for an opportunity to kill my own Zhenniang!
