Chapter 6: Who is Two-Faced and Three-Hearted?
In the 21st century, she has seen a palace fight between two sides and three hearts.
At that time, she often dreamed of what her child would look like when he grew up, a little boy of four or five years old, shouting for his mother's mother's ......
Thinking of this, her heart couldn't help but throb, she exhaled deeply, didn't dare to think about it anymore, suppressed the doubts in her heart, walked quickly to the door and was about to lift the bead curtain, when a shrill voice came out: "But a maid, who is a cat and a dog in Rongfu, is also worthy of your sadness?" You are just too soft-hearted, look at Xiyan, except for the four big girls around her, the rest of the people don't know how many whips they have to take from her in a year, unknown crimes, there are more!
"Besides, this Xiaoqing stole such a valuable thing, it is an unforgivable sin! This will happen to you, if any little hoof dares to be by my side and do something inferior to this pig and dog, I will immediately kill her with a cane, how can I allow her to jump into the lake? provoke people to block her heart again......"
Xiyan only heard the sobbing sound of the wind, but Rong Xifu's harsh words kept coming.
"Oops, what are you crying about? Such hooves will die sooner or later, and I tell you, this little hoof used to be by my side, and did this disgusting thing......"
Xiyan was angry, and suddenly opened the curtain, "Big sister really doesn't feel sorry for Xiaoqing at all?" Anyway, she's the one who's been with you for years. Before he finished speaking, the man had already entered the bedroom where the wind was singing.
The room is full of aroma lingering, but it is just right not to be rich and pungent, and it instantly soothes people's tired nervous system.
Feng Yin's almond eyes are red and swollen, and there are teardrops on her delicate and delicate cheeks, and the appearance of pear blossoms with rain makes people feel distressed. She had lost a lot of weight, and she sat there looking like a weak willow supporting the wind.
Xiyan remembered the wind chant in the past, but it was not this delicate appearance. At that time, she loved to laugh, and she was also down-to-earth and generous, and she was very straightforward and frank of the Simese people.
At that time, they were tired of being together all day long, eating and drinking well, and both of them had ruddy and shiny faces, unlike now when they were both pale cheeks and sad eyes.
Rong Xifu, who was sitting on the side, was dressed in a luxurious brocade dress and skirt, and said "comforting" words on her lips, but there was no sadness in her eyes, as if she was really a cat and a dog who died.
Seeing Xiyan come in, Rong Xifu looked like a sister, with her chin raised high, "Hehe...... Distressed? It's not a pity for such a person to die, and it will only upset me if I put it in front of me! Die early and be reincarnated early! ”
"Oh...... Xiyan's big eyes behind the veil blinked, and he walked towards her, "Xiaoqing is dead now, doesn't the big sister accumulate some virtue?" Did you forget? The purple lake of Xiaoqing's jump is just behind your Fuzhao Pavilion. The eldest sister said this, Xiaoqing, she is not afraid to pass by at night, she came out to ask you? I still believe in this ghost's saying, so ah, I kindly remind my big sister not to look at it when walking at night......" She smiled and finished speaking, staring at Rong Xifu with a pair of big eyes.
I saw that Rong Xifu's face had turned cold, although she was usually arrogant and domineering, she was actually very timid inside. The theory of ghosts and gods is even more important. She twisted her handkerchief with both hands unconsciously, her face was also red, she stopped speaking for a while, gritted her teeth, she suddenly shook off her hand and stood up, and said loudly: "It's a big deal, I ordered someone to bury that Zicui Lake!" ”
"Big sister, don't! This water ghost stays in the water, and if you bury her "shelter", she will be even more angry, and she will haunt you day and night. Xiyan smiled and scared her.
"You!" Rong Xifu didn't know how to scold her for a while, but she felt that the veiled and articulate woman in front of her didn't seem to be the stupid sister who let her bully at will.
"Big sister, go back quickly, why Xiaoqing still prefers this Lock Autumn Pavilion more, maybe I'm looking at you in a corner now......"
Rong Xifu let out an "ah", her eyes aimed to the side, "You wait for me!" After saying that, he left here quickly with the maid.
Xiyan looked at Feng Yin who was sitting on the side, and kept watching them bickering with tears in her eyes, and she didn't intervene.
Xiyan didn't know what kind of mood she was feeling at this time, so she lowered her eyes and looked aside, "Feng Yin, just take the jade pendant back." This is given to you by your father, I hope you will love it and don't take it out easily to make people covetous. If I lose it again, I am afraid that another life will be affected, and this sin will be even more inexplicable! ”
"Yes, sister. Wind Groan remembered. ”
Xiyan turned her head to look at her, "Does Feng Yin think that Rongfu is very boring?" ”
Feng Yin raised her deep eyes, glanced at Xi Yan, and shook her head, "Feng Er doesn't know what my sister means?" ”
"Didn't you go to my Du Medical Hall yesterday?"
Feng Yin immediately sat up and replied, "Oh, Xiaoqing took me there." A few days ago, I went out to buy fabrics, and I wanted to call my sister with me, but my sister was not in good health, so I didn't dare to disturb. When I passed by Du Yiguan after leaving the house, Xiaoqing said that it was your medical hall, so I went in to take a look and said hello to Du Liang's cousin! ”
Hearing her say her relatives, Xiyan felt uncomfortable, "Just buy these items and call people to go, you don't have to go out of the house in person." You remember, you are now the third lady of the Rong Mansion. ”
"Feng'er remembered!"
At this time, I saw Xiyan quietly walking to Feng Yin's desk, and flipped through it casually, but I didn't expect Feng Yin to copy the Heart Sutra.
Xi Yan recalled carefully, she didn't remember that Feng Yin used to believe in Buddhism. Look at these scripture copying fonts are in block letters, and what she writes is Yan style.
Feng Yin stepped forward, "I just learned to write Puguo characters not long ago, and I didn't write well, so my sister laughed at me." ”
"Nope. You write very well. ”
The block letters are neat and stretched, with edges and corners, square shapes, and straight strokes suitable for beginners; The face is rigid and soft, full of elasticity, with heavy strokes, strong and centered, and there is a kind of magnificent and mellow beauty.
The face body written by Xiyan is also a bit cool and beautiful with the willow body, which is not easy to imitate at all.
Who wrote the letter to Chu Yan?
Seeing her stay where she was, Feng Yin couldn't help asking, "Sister's cheeks, are they better?" Is my medicine not working at all? ”
Xiyan didn't want to stay any longer, so she casually perfunctory her, "It's okay." ”
"Oh, I just mixed up some new grease, give it to my sister......" She ran to the mirror, opened the drawer and took out a box of lightly scented grease cream, and handed it to Xia Yue.
"You have a good rest, don't think about anything, let's go back." All the way back to Zhu Diexuan, Xiyan has been in a state of confusion and full of doubts.
When she returned, she sat alone at the dresser, holding the note and the veil. At this time, Qiu Shu came to give her the white silk clothes that had just been made.
Xi Yan didn't raise his head, and asked casually, "Qiu Shu, how many veils have you embroidered for me?" ”
Qiu Shu paused, and then said gently: "Girl, embroider seven pieces." "She loves to sit down and be a female celebrity when she has nothing to do, and she has the same hobby as Xiaoqing, who just died.
Xiyan smiled lightly, raised his head and looked at Qiu Shu and said, "You remember wrong, I remember that it should be eight pieces." As she spoke, she took out the six neatly folded white veils from the brocade box next to her hand, pointed to the piece of pink veil she was wearing, and finally spread the white lotus veil that Chu Yan gave on the table, "Na, it's exactly eight." ”
Qiu Shu's face became uneasy.
Xiyan was still smiling, she wouldn't doubt the people around her, just waiting for Qiu Shu's explanation.
I saw Qiu Shu kneeling down straight and said with a crying voice: "Miss, I'm sorry." I just embroidered a new white veil for you a few days ago, I don't know when I lost it? I didn't dare tell you, I thought it wouldn't get in the way. ”
Xiyan didn't like Qiu Shu's cowardly temperament, frowned and said, "It's really not in the way, it's just a veil, you get up." Xiyan remembered that Qiu Shu and Xiaoqing had always had a good relationship, even better than with several other big girls around her, they had similar interests and temperaments.
Looking at Qiu Shu who was hanging her head, she asked casually, "Have you been in contact with Xiaoqing recently?" Xiaoqing suddenly drowned, I am very sad, you tell me about the scene of your recent meeting, how was she at that time? ”
Qiu Shu got up and said with a sad face: "Miss Hui, we have a relationship." I can see that Xiaoqing has been with Miss Feng since she was happy, and she often said that she was in the blessing and did not know the blessing, the Wind Girl was so gentle and amiable, and she was good to everyone, and she should be very relaxed and comfortable to work under her. And the Wind Girl's Lock Autumn Pavilion is fragrant, and people will be in a better mood when they enter. Every time I say this, Xiaoqing is always silent. Recently, she has been even more distraught, and every time she comes to me, she either cries or says she is homesick. I don't know how to comfort her, when she followed the eldest lady in the past, I can understand that she was unhappy, and the eldest lady's temper ......"
When Qiu Shu said this, she hurriedly covered her mouth, but found that Xiyan just lowered her head and played with a handkerchief, and didn't pay attention, so she continued: "Actually, I know that even if Xiaoqing was given to Miss Feng by the eldest lady, what she is most afraid of is the eldest lady." She has told me more than once in private that the eldest lady always sends her to do a lot of things that she doesn't like......"
Xiyan stopped her hand abruptly - the big sister always sends Xiaoqing to do things she doesn't like?
Could it be that this matter is still related to the big sister? Was it the big sister who asked her to go on an appointment?
She didn't know.
Qiu Shu looked at her girl covering her head, looking pained, and didn't dare to say anything.
Only Xiyan herself knows that it is Xiaoqing who is most directly related to that incident, but Xiaoqing's death means that the thread is broken, and she has no way to find out - who wrote the letter, who passed the letter, who pretended to be in her own name, and who wanted to put the Nine Kings and herself in that situation?
Countless questions, hovering in my mind. For a while, she felt as if it was done by Feng Yin, but now all kinds of signs seem to be related to Rong Xifu.
She couldn't guess who Xiaoqing was. Just when he was troubled, Xia Yue came in and said: The heir of the eighth prince said, please miss to his mansion.
Xiyan is simply big-headed, how can Chu Shi find himself? "The Eighth Prince is looking for me? Did you say anything? ”
Xia Yue shook her head, "No, I just said that you should go immediately." ”
