Chapter 44: Eating for the Evil Spirits
The atmosphere was tense.
Suddenly, Lang Jun hurriedly came in and said anxiously, "The news just came that General Shen and the northern barbarians are fighting again!" Tens of thousands of refugees have traveled all the way south, and now they are resting twenty miles away from Jiankang City! The court was furious and ordered General Shen not to fight again, and not to put refugees from the north into the territory again! β
The royal family does not like war, and the children of the family present all know it.
Lu Ji frowned, "How to resettle refugees is a thorny problem......
"What's so hard about that?" Cui Lingren didn't care, "Just put them in Jiankang City, and then arrange some livelihood work for them, won't the problem be solved?" My Cui family's manor alone can accommodate 2,000 refugees. β
Pei Daozhu sneered.
Cui Lingren glanced at her dissatisfiedly, "What are you laughing at?" β
Pei Daozhu shook the folding fan, "Among the refugees, there is a mixture of fish and dragons, good and evil, and it is difficult to distinguish between good and evil, and if you rashly put them into the city, it is likely to cause disasters such as burning, killing, looting, etc." Keeping out of the city is the best policy. β
"Wow!"
Before Cui Lingren could open his mouth, Xue Xiaoman was the first to exclaim.
Her expression was exaggerated, and her voice was sharp, "Sister Pei, is this what people can say?" It's so cruel and ruthless, it's really not like your style. Could it be that your usual gentleness and kindness are all pretended? Do you still have compassion?! β
Compassion......
Bae Daozhu looked at her like an idiot.
She said seriously, "Sister Xue has never tasted the taste of hunger since she was a child, you probably don't know that people who are extremely hungry can do anything." In the history books, is there still a story of Yi Zi and eating? Kindness is good, but ignorant kindness is unacceptable. β
Xue Xiaoman's cheeks flushed.
In terms of rhetoric, she can't compete with Pei Daozhu......
Cui Lingren retorted, "The sage said, 'At the beginning of man, nature is good', no one in the world wants to do evil, so as long as we treat those refugees well, they will naturally be influenced by us, how can they be willing to burn, kill, and plunder in the city?" β
Pei Daozhu secretly spat naΓ―ve.
The north is so far away from Jiankang, how did those refugees escape all the way?
Along the way, in order to survive, they must burn, kill, and plunder.
She has always liked to speculate on human nature from the worst perspective.
This is her criterion for surviving in troubled times.
Neither of the two could convince anyone, Cui Lingren looked at Xiao Heng decisively, and said expectantly, "Ninth Master thinks, who is right and who is wrong between me and Pei Daozhu?" β
Xiao Heng glanced at Pei Daozhu.
The little lady of the Pei family, seems to be delicate? In fact, his eyes are full of pride.
He tapped lightly on the chess table, and it was rare to have the same view as Pei Daozhu: "What Ananda said is reasonable. Is it okay to open a position? But rashly put refugees into the city? No matter how you look at it, absolutely not. β
What is the expectation in Cui Lingren's eyes? Quietly turned into disappointment and embarrassment.
She bit her lip? Didn't say anything more.
β¦β¦
After the end of the activity in the chess room.
Cui Lingren stood alone by the flowers and pulled a peony to play with.
Xue Xiaoman followed, "Sister Cui? Why are you so worried? Is it because of Bae Do-joo? Now that her family is depressed, she has a little bit of beauty, what's the big deal? It's not worth taking a second look at Sister Cui at all! β
Cui Lingren tore off a petal flower.
Her eyes were red and she didn't speak.
She felt a kind of unspeakable discomfort in her heart? Obviously, she is the one who wants to marry the ninth master, but why does she always feel that Pei Daozhu and the ninth master are inexplicably compatible?
In the confrontation in the chess room, she looked like an outsider.
Because of the accident on the Flower God Festival, the court is busy inside and out.
Her engagement to the ninth master was also delayed.
Thinking of this made her even more uneasy.
Xue Xiaoman observes words and looks? smiled and said, "If Sister Cui doesn't like Pei Daozhu, I have a way to make her lose face, and maybe she will be kicked out of Jinliang Garden." β
Cui Lingren sneered: "Pei Daozhu is thoughtful? It's up to you? Can you fight her too? β
"Sister Cui forgot? I used to be close friends with Pei Daozhu? I know her better than anyone else. Xue Xiaoman's smile was even brighter, "The entire Jiankang City? Am I the one who is the best at dealing with her? Just wait and see the show! β
β¦β¦
"Ahh
At dusk.
Bae Daozhu yawned.
Pillow Star came over with a thin cloak and carefully draped her in, "It's windy in the garden?" Don't stand by the window, girl, if you catch a cold, you will suffer. β
Pei Daozhu smiled in return.
She was still looking out the window.
Xiangfei Garden is full of flowers, hydrangeas, vines, hibiscus, pearl orchids and other flowers are luxuriant, like the girls in Jiankang City who have their own merits.
Xue Xiaoman envied her, was jealous of her, and betrayed her.
The Xue family has the right to speak in the court, and in her previous life, she went north to make peace, is there a credit to Xue Xiaoman?
Girls are sensitive and suspicious by nature.
As soon as this thought comes to mind, I feel restless.
While he was pondering, a maid hurried over
"Oh no, no, Miss Pei, something happened to your sister!"
β¦β¦
Pei Daozhu rushed to Wutong Academy, and there was already a group of people in the study.
The little Langjun of the Xie family was lying on the maid's arms and crying, and her little sister Pei Taoyao was squatting on the ground, also crying so red that her face was very pitiful.
She stepped forward and pulled Pei Taoyao up, "What's wrong?"
^0^ Remember for a second
β
The maid of the Xie family scolded menacingly: "This is going to ask Miss Pei's sister!" Her feet are not clean, not to mention stealing my little son's gold collar, and she also broke the longevity jade lock on it! This jade lock is a relic left by my housemother to the little boy before her death, I don't know what compensation your family will take?! β
Bae Daozhu glanced at the floor.
On the bamboo floor, there was a small gold collar, and the long-lived jade lock at the bottom of the collar was really broken, and the sharp jade pieces flashed with a beautiful emerald color, which showed that it was very valuable.
She asked seriously, "Did you break it?" β
Pei Taoyao choked up, and said aggrievedly, "Sister, we play hide and seek, and when I hid here, this gold collar had already fallen to the ground...... Sister, I didn't steal, I didn't steal...... Sister believe me......"
The maid of the Xie family sneered, "At a young age, full of lies-"
"How about my sister, it's not your turn to be a maid to evaluate."
Pei Daozhu's face was cold, and he interrupted the other party's words.
She has always been soft and weak in front of people, but now she speaks with a cold face, and her momentum is very scary.
The maid of the Xie family didn't dare to scold again.
Xue Xiaoman and Cui Lingren were also watching the excitement.
Xue Xiaoman shook the handkerchief and said with a smile, "Sister Pei, you don't allow others to speak ill of your sister, so you say it yourself, how will it end today?" This jade lock is worth a fortune, so you can say what to pay? As far as I know, your Pei family's family is not as valuable as this jade lock, in my opinion, it is better to sell the ancestral house, and maybe you can barely afford to pay ......"
Sold the ancestral home......
The simple five words, like the dragon's reverse scales, made Pei Daozhu secretly hate.
The ancestral home is the foundation.
sold, the Pei family was completely reduced to an unpopular family.
That was the beginning of all her misfortunes in her previous life.
She raised her eyes to stare at Xue Xiaoman.
Fragmentary images, passing through my mind.
That year, the general of the southern kingdom smashed the foreign palace and brought her back to her homeland.
She returned to this land with great joy, but Jiankang City had long since become a human being.
is obviously forced to make peace, obviously a hero who destroyed the northern kingdom, and former playmates of the same age, but they all scolded her for being a red face and a curse, and scolded her for being a remnant of the northern kingdom.
Xue Xiaoman is also there, and she is even the one who scolds the most.
In the annals written by the Xue family, she was compared to Daji of Shang and Bao Xi of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and commented that she was to blame for the disaster of the country and the people, and even cursed her......
After death, he should go to the hell of Abi and share food for the evil spirits.
Pei Daozhu was stunned.
The beautiful Danfeng eyes quietly contained a tear.
