Chapter 269: Ruby
In short, in the end, Shen Mingjiao went to the library, the tallest building in the mansion, when she was approaching her son.
Standing at the bottom of the five-story building, Shen Mingjiao suddenly thought of the hasty meteor shower that she and Feng Lisheng had watched before.
At that time, Feng Lisheng took her with light skills, but this time she climbed up to the library building alone.
Mainly this kind of thing, even in front of a few maids, she always feels a little embarrassed. Therefore, Haitang and the others were ordered by her to stay not far away.
Climb to the top of the building, and at the same time, the bell rings, heralding the arrival of the new year.
The next moment, bursts of fireworks rang out. Most of them came from the gates.
Shen Mingjiao raised her head, and a beam of white fireworks exploded clearly in front of her eyes. According to Feng Lisheng's character, he naturally can't make any romantic tricks.
In the dark sky, only the words "Happy New Year" were squarely displayed.
These are just four words of polite blessing to many.
But she knew that Feng Lisheng must have said this from the heart.
He leaned against the railing of the top floor, looking up at the pitch-black sky.
Although she was alone, she didn't feel lonely at all.
β¦β¦
Xu had something in his heart, even if he slept very late the night before, he even got up early in the morning the next day.
Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and according to the rules, she should have been taken into the palace by Feng Lisheng to greet the emperor and queen for the New Year.
However, firstly, Feng Lisheng was not there, and secondly, Emperor Jing and Emperor did not pay attention to these, so they let people pass the word early, and it was not too late for her to wait for the Lantern Festival to enter the palace.
After Shen Mingjiao washed, she didn't wait to finish her meal, and went to the small study.
Grinding ink, spreading out the rice paper, he planned to write a letter to Feng Lisheng about what happened yesterday, especially the father-in-law who fell into the Heart Devouring Gu.
After everything that should be written was finished, I looked at the paper full of several pages, paused, and finally picked up the pen again, pondered for a long time, and finally wrote a poem that was quite bad
ββThe flowers on Mo bloom and can be slowly returned.
Well. Compared with someone's "everything is fine, don't read it", I instantly feel much more literary and artistic.
β¦β¦
Handing the letter to Tie Zhu, she had eaten and was bored for a while.
I wanted to go out and walk around the garden, but it was too cold, and she didn't want to move.
asked people to move the books she had read recently to the courtyard, and Shen Mingjiao picked up one at random, which turned out to be the books for treating heart diseases that Dr. Wen had given him before.
Xu was really bored some time ago, and at first she only used idle books to pass the time, probably because she was hypnotic, looking at it, she was really interested. I even want to pull the people around me to do experiments.
But it seems that these people in the house are quite healthy. Except for that Shi Jiu.
Shi Jiu is said to have been a secret guard cultivated by a large family, but it is obviously not a serious family, because the methods are too cruel, although Shi Jiu survived, his temperament has become distorted and gloomy, and he likes to torture the enemy to death a little bit.
In the past, he was responsible for helping Feng Lisheng deal with some unsightly privacy,
Shen Mingjiao is in a friendly attitude. When the people in the palace were exercising in the morning, they called the people to them.
She didn't use hypnosis, she just asked him some questions as the book says.
Shi Jiu just lowered his eyes, his handsome face was still cold, and the whole person looked gloomy.
Unlike the friendly and respectful attitude of the palace guards, the only master Shi Jiu recognized in his heart was Feng Lisheng, and the rest of the people, including Shen Mingjiao, had nothing to do with him.
Shen Mingjiao sighed secretly, he knew it without reading a book. Shi Jiu's situation is very serious,
With the half-level of the books she has read for a few days, it is obviously impossible to help the other party heal. Unless his memories are erased with hypnosis.
It's just that Dr. Wen said in the book she gave that unless it is to the point of endangering her life, she does not advocate the use of hypnosis to erase people's memories.
Because even if a person who has lost his memory can start over, he can also be regarded as losing himself in a sense.
Retracting her thoughts, she looked down at the book, and the one she opened at this time was written about "inferiority".
- Low self-esteem is a very common psychological state, which is manifested as cowardice in the eyes, habitual pleaser, extreme sensitivity, lack of communication, and emotionality......
Everything has two sides, and a mild low self-esteem may motivate a person to work hard. Extreme low self-esteem can lead to depression and even suicide......
The following is a real-life case recorded by Dr. Wen. It probably means that a lame man has not been treated well since he was a child, and finally married a daughter-in-law, and within two years, the daughter-in-law ran away with someone.
Normal people will probably report to the official when they encounter this kind of thing, or ask the woman's family to ask for an explanation. The man chose to commit suicide, thinking that he was incompetent, so his wife ran away with someone.
At the end, there are a lot of notes, and the summary is that people are sometimes strong, and sometimes they are very fragile.
Shen Mingjiao turned to the next page without any interest, and was a little disappreciative in her heart, in her opinion, such people are in the minority.
And she feels inferior or something, it's because life is too good nowadays, and she is so idle that she panics! If you stay in the troubled times of the previous dynasty, thinking about how to survive all day long, if you don't do things, you will starve to death, and you will be tired and tired all day long, how can you have time to feel inferior and depressed!
Begonia made her a cup of tea, and she took a sip of it.
At this time, Feng Shuo and Cui Lingling came over, because Cui Lingling was there, so Qin Yan could come to Shen Mingjiao's courtyard.
Qin Yan said to Shen Mingjiao: "I want to take Shuo'er to meet my mother." β
Shen Mingjiao nodded: "Yes, that's Shuo'er's grandmother, but now that the enemy is lurking in the shadows, you better be careful." β
She glanced meaningfully at Feng Shuo's right arm: "Also, don't think about doing anything stupid to put yourself in danger. β
Qin Yan smiled: "If the princess is not at ease, you can let Lingling follow, she is so powerful, she can protect us if something happens." β
That's right. It seems that it is a very honorable thing to be protected by a daughter-in-law.
Cui Lingling snorted, but did not refuse.
At this moment, the iron pillar hurriedly walked in:
"Princess, the identity of the father-in-law yesterday has been clarified."
Shen Mingjiao motioned for Begonia to bring a chair.
Tie Zhu thanked him and sat down, and said slowly: "That father-in-law's surname is Luo, and he is a little steward in the flower and bird room in the palace. He is not a bad person, and he is quite serious in his work. β
Shen Mingjiao asked: "When did he enter the palace, and who else is in the family?" β
"It was Jinghe who entered the palace in the first year, when a flood broke out in the south, his parents and relatives all died on the way to escape, and he entered the palace as an internal servant when he was desperate."
Shen Mingjiao lowered her eyes, the first year of Jinghe, fifteen years have passed since now.
She shook her head secretly, and felt that her guess that had just passed away was ridiculous, how old was that person fifteen years ago......
However, after inquiring about several eunuchs who were close to him, one of them said that Grandpa Luo had briefly mentioned that he had a sister. And we found a baby elephant in his house. β
With that, she pulled out a brown paper bag from her bosom. Open it and pull out a piece of crumpled rice paper from it.
Shen Mingjiao swept her eyes and found that there was a seven or eight-year-old girl painted on it. Because of the limited painting skills, I can only barely imagine that this is a very beautiful little girl, and the only good painting is a pair of almond eyes.
Cui Lingling shook his head: "The so-called eighteen changes in the female university, now more than ten years have passed, with this unclear painting, trying to find someone is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack." β
And now that Father-in-law Luo is dead, there are only two possibilities for his sister, one is that she doesn't know where she has wandered, or she is no longer alive. The second is that the person behind him threatens her with his sister's life.
Several people sighed secretly, and they all felt that the New Year's was tossed for so long.
At this time, Yun Shu came over with a trick, but after looking at a few people in the house, she stood at the door and galloped and didn't come in.
Anyway, everything that needs to be said has already been said. Shen Mingjiao beckoned to her!
"What a beautiful trick you drew again!"
Yun Shu, this girl, is an absolute decathlon, not only can she do poetry, she is proficient in blowing, playing and singing, not to mention, but she is also very spiritual in her patterns, and she is beautiful with a face.
Since Da Yunshu lived in the palace, many people have been interested in her. It's a pity that Yun Shu never seems to have this thought.
Yun Shu stepped forward: "Last time, the princess said that she wanted to embroider red plums on her cloak, is it okay for the princess to take a look?" β
When she passed by the iron pillar, she caught a glimpse of the little elephant on the stone table, and she couldn't help but sigh, stopped, and listened carefully to the almond eyes of the little girl in the painting.
Seeing this, Shen Mingjiao's face relaxed, and asked, "Do you know this little girl?" β
Yun Shu sighed a little complicatedly: "Although the age difference is relatively large, I should not admit my mistake." Her name is Hongyu, and of course that's just the name of the bustard in the building.
You should have heard of Yangzhou Skinny Horse, right? That is, there are many little girls with excellent looks and qualifications from various channels, some small businessmen or people with some surplus money, they will spend money to buy one or two back, recognize them as righteous girls, and then ask someone to teach how to seduce men from an early age, and when they reach their age, they can give them to nobles to climb friendships. Or sell people to those big flower houses,
Ruby was one of them, and I was impressed because the girl was always trying to escape. β
She sighed: "A gray area like this can never be imagined by ordinary people with its unseemly selfish methods. So some of the abducted girls thought about running away at first, and after being cleaned up a few times, they became honest.
But Hongyu is the most persistent of them all, and after several years in a row, she has been beaten countless times, and she still wants to escape. The family who bought her couldn't, so they temporarily sent people to the flower building where I was at the time, and the bustard helped to train them.
Because I helped her, I know her well. I asked her why she was so persistent in running away, and she said she had a brother and that her brother must be looking for her.
Later, within half a year, she was sold to Jingzhou by her adoptive parents. β
Yun Shu sighed again: "I was moved by her stubbornness at the time, and I wanted to quietly let her go. But she hesitated for a long time and refused. I knew she didn't want to bother me.
She is a very good girl, and if it is convenient, please ask the princess to save her. β
Haitang listened with a sigh on her face, but Shen Mingjiao sympathized but sensitively grasped the point: "You said that she was sold to Jingzhou, do you know who she sold to?" β
Like Feng Lisheng, she will never forget the crimson of King Yu in her previous life.
And Jingzhou happens to be the fief of King Yu.
"I heard that it was sold to a high-ranking official in Jingzhou as a concubine, but I don't know the details."
With that, she took a pen dipped in ink, took a piece of rice paper, and began to draw. After a while, a beautiful and delicate woman was happy on the paper.
Shen Mingjiao handed the paper to Tie Zhu: "Your Highness should have someone in Jingzhou, send this painting over and let them find this girl." β
Tie Zhu led the order to retreat.
β¦β¦
Shen Mingjiao planned to go to the library to find some books to read, so she went to the front yard with Qin Yan and the others.
When he turned the weeping flower gate, the playboy walked towards him.
Shen Mingjiao shouted Lao Hua and asked curiously, "Where are you going?" β
The Hua Mansion stopped: "The slave is about to go to the backyard to find you, the princess is going out?" β
Shen Mingjiao waved her hand: "This is the New Year, what kind of door!"
By the way, what are you looking for me, Lao Hua! β
It was really cold this day, and the playboy put his hands together:
"Princess, didn't you ask me to install some people in the Marquis Ningyuan's mansion before, so that I could pay attention to Miss Gu's movements?"
Shen Mingjiao nodded, because she vaguely remembered that something seemed to have happened to Gu Danxue in her previous life, but she couldn't remember the specifics. Friends, just in case, she asked the playboy to install some people in the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion.
She asked with some concern: "Is something wrong with Danxue?" β
The playboy nodded: "Just now the slave received a report that Miss Gu eloped with a man last night, and was caught and arrested by Gu Houye, and at this time Ningyuan Houfu was in a mess,"
Shen Mingjiao frowned, with Gu Danxue's character, he could actually do something insulting to etiquette like elopement.
After all, nowadays he is hired as a wife and Ben is a concubine. elopement, no matter what aspect of the mess, as a woman, she is a head shorter.
Feng Shuo, who had been quiet and silent, interjected:
"Your Majesty intends to let the daughter of Marquis Ning Yuan marry the crown prince."
