Chapter 114: Heartache

April 20, the first day of Chu Emperor Zhao Luo's pro-government. The ministers waited for a long time and did not see the emperor's figure, and there were many discussions, and the historian recorded in the book that the emperor got married yesterday and set up four concubines.

Zhao Luo didn't sleep all night, his eyes were full of red silk, at dawn, he put the clay pot in his hand carefully behind the tablet, burned incense, and after staring deeply, he reluctantly walked out of the newly established small mourning hall.

Pushing the door, it is another heavy palace room, layers of bright yellow curtains, and a finely carved basswood dragon bed, which is Zhao Luo's bedroom, and this mourning hall is actually located in the apse of his bedroom.

The palace people shuttled in quietly, bending down and bowing their heads, holding trays in their hands. There was a bright yellow dragon robe on the plate, a gold-inlaid jade crown and jade belt dragon boots, and after serving Zhao Luo and putting it on, Brother Nian, the new chief eunuch, ran over, stepped forward and whispered: "Your Majesty, Huo San asks to see you." ”

Zhao Luo's eyes narrowed, his voice was hoarse, but the tone of his mouth was unquestionable: "Xuan!" ”

Brother Nian glanced at the face of the lord, and swallowed the words of the early dynasty, how many old people in this palace are staring at his position, since ancient times, there are no dead corpses of loyal ministers, so don't touch your head.

As soon as Huo San came in, Brother Nian withdrew with a room full of eunuchs and palace maids, Huo San stood still away from Luo San, and first saluted Luo who was sitting on the dragon chair, and said: "The Emperor Taishang took the Queen Mother out of the palace overnight, and the ministers couldn't catch up and lost their traces. ”

Luo nodded, and said expressionlessly: "The secret guard in his hand was not handed over to me, and it is normal for you to chase and lose it." ”

Luo leaned halfway, looked focused and asked, "Can you find the whereabouts of the imperial brother?" ”

Huo San lowered his head and said in a snort: "The ministers are looking for everything, but they are always obstructed by others, and it should be the secret guard." ”

The corners of Luo's mouth were raised, with a three-point evil aura, and he said gloomily: "You start to form a new secret guard from now on, hmm." If you want to fight against the old man, you can call Mingwei, and all the members of Mingwei will be selected from the hundreds of people who have retired from the army. ”

After speaking, the two were speechless for a long time, Luo lowered his eyes, took a few deep breaths, clenched his hands into fists, and said as if unintentionally: "Say it." ”

Huo San's head was about to droop to his chest, and he said in a low voice: "The third lady went to Beizhuang, Zhang hid the funeral from Mrs. Zhang, and a few ** in the family didn't know, but a few young ladies who went out of the cabinet got the letter, Lan and Xiaomei both went back to live in the house, their faces were sad, they cried all the time, Ju and Mei fainted on the spot, and they are still bedridden." ”

Luo's eyes instantly filled with tears, and the drops fell on his hand and bounced open a few petals, and a puddle of water accumulated on his hand, and he muttered to himself. "It seems that she really went, really went......"

Since Sun Mubai was appointed champion and named his wife, the Sun family has never stopped, welcoming visitors from all over the world, Xiaomei socializing every day, and people are really tired.

On this day, she wondered if the third sister had been sick for many days, whether she would go to investigate, just to avoid the crowd at home, and made up her mind, so she began to pack up.

While tidying up, Miaobi hurriedly entered the door and handed her a letter: "Young lady, this is an urgent letter from home." ”

Urgent letter?

There is no urgent letter since I got married, if there is something in my mother's family, I will directly send a sedan chair to pick it up, Xiaomei took the letter in confusion, unfolded it and read it, the world turned for a while, the third sister, the third sister is gone?

She lost her mother since she was a child, but she was regarded by Mrs. Xu as her own, this is the first time she has tasted the pain of losing her relatives, and she sat in the chair in a daze, and it was difficult to digest the bad news for a while.

Sun Mubai pushed the door in, waved his hand, and the four maids withdrew, seeing Xiaomei's blank face, she stepped forward and coaxed softly: "Don't worry, mother." Even if you marry the young lady of the Xu family, you are still the wife of the main family. ”

This sentence floated into Xiaomei's ears, and fell into her heart after three circles in her head, her body shook, she looked at Sun Mubai incredulously, and asked, "What to marry?" What Miss Xu? ”

Sun Mubai was stunned, raised his hand and touched the back of his head, and said with an embarrassed smile: "Mother still doesn't know?" My father ordered a flat wife for me, and she was the daughter of the servant. ”

The pain of losing her sister struck suddenly, coupled with the blow of Sun Mubai's desire to marry a bride, Xiaomei collapsed instantly, she burst into tears, grabbed Sun Mubai's sleeve, and asked in a bloody voice: "Why do you want to marry someone else, why?" Isn't Xiaomei good enough? ”

Sun Mubai reached out to hug her, but was dodged away by Xiaomei, so she had to explain patiently: "My father told me when he was engaged, anyway, I will not treat her more than you in the future." ”

Xiaomei stared at Sun Mubai fiercely, and shouted hoarsely: "If you want to marry her, unless I die." As he spoke, he raised his fists and hammered at Sun Mubai, crying and shouting: "Where am I bad, I accompany your twelve mothers every day......

Sun Mubai's headache flares up. Grabbing Xiaomei's fists, she frowned and said, "What is the difference between your current appearance and my twelve mothers?!" ”

After that, he pushed Xiaomei outward, turned around and left, but she had an unbearable headache and just wanted to be alone.

The same as his twelve mothers?!

He actually compared her with the twelve shrews, Xiaomei was sad and indignant, remembering that the third sister had said that if she was not happy, she would go back to her parents' house. Even if she gets married, she is still the daughter of the family. Now, the third sister, the third sister is gone, gone......

Looking at the half-packed luggage, Xiaomei only felt meaningless, she didn't want to touch the Sun family's things.

Jackets, skirts, belly pockets, profane pants, and the newly made dresses during the New Year were taken off one by one, Xiaomei found out a set of old shirts that she brought with her when she got married, put them on carefully, and wiped the tears on her face, but the tears still fell as if they were out of control, she simply ignored it, held her head high, and walked out of the room generously, without even turning her head back.

Since then, Sun Lang has been a passerby.

Xiaomei went all the way out of Sun's mansion, hired a carriage to go home at the door, and when she was about to go to the front of the mansion, she saw a carriage in front of her very familiar, and hurriedly called out, but it was the second sister Lan.

Yan Shenxing had just taken over the position of head of the family, and began to visit the old relatives of the clan one by one, Lan accompanied him, and the wives and wives of these people always asked enthusiastically about the heirs, which made Lan extremely embarrassed and speechless, after all, it is a fact that she has married into the Yan family for three years and has nothing to do.

Later, rumors spread, some said that she was a hen that could not lay eggs, and some said that Yan Shen married a wife to hide people's eyes, but in fact she was not a man, and even worse. Directly sent the maid of the house to the door, Lan Qiang accepted it with a smile, but it became more and more intense, and every time the husband and wife went to a place, someone sent a girl.

At the end of the visit, there were more than 100 women in the family, and Lan didn't ask them to do any work, but only supported these girls.

At last the wives of the elders of the clan came together, and scolded her to her face for being jealous and not allowing her to take concubines strictly, so that he was still weak on his knees, and warned her that if she continued like this, she would be jointly removed from the position of the patriarch of Yan Shenxing.

Lan can endure the accusations of others, but no matter what, he is not willing to be seriously and cautiously wronged in the slightest, how can he lose the position of patriarch that he has worked so hard to obtain?

She endured the pain and chose two honest and trustworthy maidservants from home, and after arranging the bedtime, she quietly returned to her mother's house, preparing to live for a while, so as not to touch the scene.

Lan sat in the carriage in a trance, suddenly heard someone calling her, heard the voice was the fifth sister Xiaomei, busy the coachman stopped the car, Lan got out of the car, saw Xiaomei full of tears, startled, hurriedly grabbed Xiaomei's hand, and said angrily: "Is it Sun Nerd bullying you?" ”

At the mention of Sun Mubai, Xiaomei's grievances erupted, crying more and more uncontrollably, out of breath, the whole person convulsed, Lan hugged her distressedly, and was about to tell the Sun family's carriage to go back first, but found that her sister was sitting in a hired carriage, angry and angry, gritted her teeth and ordered the little girl with the car to settle Xiaomei's car money, and carried Xiaomei into his own carriage.

Lan hugged Xiaomei, extremely gentle, and coaxed softly: "Don't cry, what's the matter, my sister is in charge of you, then the Sun family still owes us a lot of silver." ”

Xiaomei raised her head, her eyes were full of tears, and she choked up: "Second sister, third sister, she's gone!" ”

Lan was startled, confused: "Not here?" Where did it go? ”

Xiaomei screamed and couldn't cry: "Three... Sister, dead ...... He's dead. ”

"Slap-" With a loud slap, Lan said angrily: "What nonsense, how could the third sister die." ”

Xiaomei covered her face and cried: "It was my father who wrote to me and said that the third sister went, the second sister, and the third sister is really gone." ”

Lan trembled and stretched out her hand, grabbed Xiaomei's shoulders, and shook vigorously, her eyes were already teary: "You lied to me, tell me quickly, you are lying to me, how can the third sister die, how can she die, she helped me hold a banquet a few days ago......"

The two sisters hugged their heads and cried, the carriage stopped in front of the house, and the people of the house had already come up, and the little guy who was driving the car was helpless, and he heard the crying inside, so he had to step forward: "Madam, I'm at the house." ”

After calling three times without response, he raised his voice and shouted, "Madam, it's time to get home." ”

Lan woke up, she sniffled, helped Xiaomei up, looked out, couldn't help but be stunned, grabbed Xiaomei and asked: "There is nothing unusual at home, there is no vegetarian silk, and there is no paper money, how can you say that the third sister is not here?!" ”

Xiaomei remembered what Zhang Xin said, and sobbed: "Daddy is afraid that the little sisters will know that there is a funeral in Beizhuang, and he told me not to hide it." ”

Her eyes were red and swollen, and her vision was blurry, and when she saw that Lan was still quiet, she said, "Daddy should have sent a letter to the second sister." ”

Lan was in a trance, and said in a vague voice: "I haven't been home these days, I should have missed it." ”

People are numb to pain!.
