Chapter 3: She's Alive
In Xiyao Hall, Dai Qiu knelt at Wang's feet and told him what was in his chest.
Wang was shocked, covered his heart and leaned on the soft collapse, unable to speak for a long time.
Although Dai Qiu is young, she has always been steady, and she has always taken care of the three girls properly, and what she said, the Wang family will naturally believe it.
Recently, it has been an eventful time at home, and the people below don't know it, but she is very clear in her heart when she is doing things in front of her wife.
Before the lord took office in Tongzhou, his wife had advised him in every possible way that Tongzhou was a land of tigers and wolves, and officials protected each other, and if one was not careful, it would affect itself.
But the old man said: "If an official only wants his own well-being, and does not think about the suffering of the people, what is the use of this official uniform?" ”
Tongzhou is high and far away, if the officialdom is really dim, the lord is honest and honest, and he is isolated, it is very likely that he will be squeezed out and framed.
Especially when Dai Qiu talked about his final fate in the dream, it was all in line with his heart's wishes.
Wang helped up the chair and asked, "Then what you dreamed of, is there an exact time?" ”
Dai Qiu made a mistake now, and his dream was hazy, so naturally he couldn't remember the specific time of copying his home.
"It just feels like it's around early winter."
Although there was no snow in the sky at that time, everyone was wearing long-sleeved jackets.
After the autumn in the north, the temperature will plummet, and now that the Mid-Autumn Festival has passed, if the prediction is true, there is not much time left to prepare.
Wang covered his heart and asked, "Let me ask you, what are the whereabouts of the sons and ladies in the mansion that you have seen?" ”
Dai Qiu: "Except for the eldest prince who escaped for the time being, the second son and the third son of Fuzhong were all arrested and imprisoned. The lady entrusted her father and brother to personally pick up the girls to take refuge in their grandfather's house, but they were also unable to make the trip because they were framed by an adulterer, and the girls were all ......"
Wang stared at Dai Qiu without blinking.
Dai Qiu turned his heart sideways and said truthfully: "The girls were all exiled to the Sifang Flower Building, and the three girls were humiliated, and they died under the corridor on the day of the raid......"
The second son and the third girl are all born to the Wang family.
Wang couldn't hold it anymore and almost slipped off his chair.
Dai Qiu hurriedly stepped forward to support her, knowing that she had believed in herself, and said solemnly: "Aunt Wang, the slave and maid are soft-spoken, and they dare not deliver words in front of Mrs., so they can only tell you everything, and I hope you can quickly get an idea." ”
Wang was shocked, and his hand holding Dai Qiu tightened and tightened.
That year, the family was in the middle of the road and was forced to become a concubine, but I never thought that the lord and the lady were extremely kind to themselves.
When Mrs. Xi was alive, Mrs. Xi often brought herself to serve in front of her, fulfilling the filial piety of the younger generation.
After the death of the old lady, the lady allocated all the affairs in the house to herself, and everyone respected them.
In the past 20 years of serving in the Xi family, he has given birth to children for the Xi family, and his name has long been written into the Xi family tree.
The Xi family is her heaven, once the Xi family falls, she will definitely live and die without thinking about it.
"Okay, okay, I'll take you along, and we'll go to Madame."
Qin was reading the account book with Han's mother, and when he saw Wang coming over, he politely asked her to sit down, and ordered someone to make tea.
Wang: "Don't dare to bother Madame, I came here today because I have something important to talk to Madame." ”
Qin put down the account book and looked at Wang.
Seeing Wang's solemn expression, he took the initiative to retreat, leaving only Han's mother alone in the room.
Wang then motioned to Dai Qiu and told his wife what he had just told her.
Dai Qiu knelt on the ground and repeated it again according to his words.
This time, I was prepared, and I informed Wang's confusion in advance in advance, so that it was more clear and concise.
Qin Shi heard that the tea cup in his hand was hanging in the air, and he was so shocked that he forgot to fall for a long time.
"Madam, for today's plan, I want to quickly find a way to enter the palace, and I have to protect the noble concubines in the palace first, as long as the mother does not fall, the lord will not fall easily, and the entire Xi family will not fall."
Qin Shi looked at Dai Qiu stunned, and seemed to be surprised, how could she be a little girl, how could she tell the trick here?
Wang knelt down and said, "Madam, although the master often teaches: 'The son is silent, and the strange force is chaotic'. Although what this girl said was extremely shocking, it was all reasonable. Besides, she is just a little girl, how can she tell many things about Tongzhou officialdom and Kyoto's inner palace? The fit is incredible. It was the slave maid who felt that she would rather believe in it, and hoped that the lady would make arrangements as soon as possible. ”
After Qin Shi pondered for a moment, he got up and helped Wang and Dai Qiu up with both hands.
Holding the hands of the two of them, he said: "Thank you two for being so dedicated, I have written down all the hearts you have for my Xi family." ”
Hearing this, Mrs. also believed it, Dai Qiu breathed a sigh of relief, and said with tears in her eyes: "Madame's words are serious, if it wasn't for Madame to take me in and give my family two taels of silver for the winter, I am afraid that Dai Qiu's family has already starved to death, and how can I live without worrying about food and clothing over the years. ”
Mother Han on the side hurriedly stepped forward and helped Qin to sit down again, and Qin said again: "It's just that this matter, in order to avoid extraneous branches, except for the four of us, we can't let the fifth person know about it for the time being." ”
Dai Qiu and the Wang family did not doubt him, and they both said in unison: "Slave and maid province." ”
When I returned to Langqiu Pavilion, I saw Xi Fangyu choosing clothes in the house from a distance, and Taozhi and two little maids were waiting on the side.
Seeing the third girl again, Dai Qiu only felt like a world away, and only stood aside and watched her quietly.
Xi Fangyu also saw Dai Qiu next to the Duobao Pavilion, stepped forward with a smile and took her hand, and said, "You are back, where have you been this afternoon?" ”
Dai Qiu's eyes were red, and he said with a smile: "I went to my aunt's yard just now, is there something wrong with the girl looking for me?" ”
The three girls who have been together day and night for more than three years.
Such a lively, beautiful and lovely third girl, she is still alive, how good is this!
Xi Fangyu naturally didn't know what Dai Qiu was thinking, so he just walked in while pulling her, and said with a smile: "Of course, I'm looking for you to help me pick out clothes for tomorrow's lake tour, you have always had a good eye." ”
She put one on her hand and smiled so much that her eyelashes curled: "Do you say this one is better in purple or this one in crimson?" ”
After picking out the clothes, Dai Qiu took the tea cup in Taozhi's hand and held it in front of Xi Fangyu.
Dai Qiu thought for a while, and asked tentatively, "But the girl likes that Xue Gongzi very much?" ”
Dai Qiu is a little older, Xi Fangyu is a little older, the two have always been used to being close, so Dai Qiu asked this question, and Xi Fangyu didn't feel strange.
Xi Fangyu thought about it and said shyly: "I don't like it very much, I just think he's a little funny." ”
Dai Qiu said with a smile: "Xue Gongzi is from a noble background, handsome and handsome, and treats girls very well. It would also be a good thing if the girl could marry him. ”
In the dream, the Xi family was defeated, and the female dependents were worse than dead.
But there is one exception, and that is the eldest girl who has already been married.
The holy decree mentions that "the sin is not as good as the daughter who marries outside", which can be regarded as the last bit of favor for the Taifu Mansion, who has produced two generations of emperors.
Xue Gongzi has a romantic character, and he is very gentle and delicate, which is very blue-eyed by the young ladies of Kyoto.
But Dai Qiu could see that he was a little different from others after all.
If there is no Jia Huixin at this stall, most of the three girls will be able to successfully marry into the Xue Guogong Mansion and become the young lady.
With support behind him, even if the Xi Mansion is inevitably defeated in the end, the three girls will not burn all their thoughts and commit suicide.
Xi Fangyu lowered his head and tasted the tea, but he was silent, but the corners of his mouth were hooked.
Dai Qiu said again: "It's just that there is one girl who needs to pay attention, if the two of you really know each other, there should be no third person among you." ”
Xi Fangyu didn't know what to do, "What are you talking about, is it Sister Hui?" ”
Dai Qiu nodded: "I don't know if the girl has ever thought about why every time you meet the little son of the Xue family, Miss Jia San has to be present?" Could it be that without her, you wouldn't be able to see each other? If it is to avoid suspicion, although it is very appropriate, but don't forget, Miss Jia San is also in the boudoir, and even you need to avoid suspicion, then she should be even more so. ”
Xi Fangyu thought for a while and said: "I understand your good intentions, but I feel that what is mine is mine after all, and no one else can snatch it. ”
Dai Qiu knew that the third girl was a character who would rather have a broken jade than a complete tile, otherwise she would not have made such a decisive move on the day of the raid.
It's just that with such a temperament, it's still easy to suffer after all.
