Chapter 11 Doubt

The city of Tokyo fell into a deep silence. The news of the sudden death of the Great Song Emperor quickly spread throughout the city, and in the near future, it will also spread to every corner of the Song Realm. Liao, Western Xia, Goryeo, Wa, and Annam will also know about it and send envoys to offer condolences.

As a result, the city of Tokyo is full of businesses. The Goolan tiles are empty, and the teahouse is Xiao Xiao Xiao.

There are only a few tables of diners on the upper and lower floors of Fan Lou, silently sipping Song Wusao's fish soup. There are no singing singers beside them; And the tea house is still closed. Although the eldest girl of the Mo family came back to life, she did not dare to celebrate just in time for the "national funeral". The two stone statues in front of the gate of the Ming Tower were still roaring angrily, and the confetti had already been cleaned by the servants.

Mo Yunxiao sat on the couch and looked at the display in the bedroom with stunned eyes.

She looked around, and saw that directly opposite the bed was a mahogany dressing table, on which a clear and bright bronze mirror was inlaid and shimmering.

Under the bronze mirror, there are three small drawers that are quite delicate, embroidered with colorful cloud patterns. On both sides of the drawer, there are two rows of small wooden bars that form an embrace, closing the dressing table. This small wooden fence is slender and short, if you look closely, you can also see that it is carved with dragons and phoenixes are auspicious, birds and phoenixes and other patterns.

It is not known how ingenious craftsmen can do such a delicate carving on such a small wooden fence.

On the right side of the dressing table is a hanging window, which is tightly closed during the season. On the other side of the bed is a sandalwood hanger. Mo Yunxiao looked at it, this hanger is about two meters high, the copper hook on it can hang clothes, and the waist is inlaid with a round copper ring, and a washbasin for grooming is placed on it.

Next to this basin, there is also a small copper stove. The stove is boxy with vents to draw heat out of the holes, and the base has a stretchable tray for changing charcoal.

Mo Yunxiao looked around the room and smiled bitterly, thinking in her heart: "Alas, Mo Yunxiao, Mo Yunxiao, I didn't expect you to fall into the water and wear a cross, and you are still called Mo Yunxiao." It's just that this Mo Yunxiao is not Mo Yunxiao. I'm a young and promising female painter, and I'm going to have my first solo exhibition next month. And what kind of person is this Mo Yunxiao? What does it mean to 'rather touch Kaifeng Mansion than Mo Yunxiao'? And why would anyone call her 'Female Yama'? ”

At that moment, the door creaked open. Mo Yunxiao raised her eyes and looked, and Huan'er walked slowly towards her with a sad face.

Her eyes were sunken, her eyes were full of tears, her nose was slightly red, and her teeth were biting her bright red lips.

Mo Yunxiao was also a little nervous when she saw her walking towards her, and she didn't know what to say for a while, so she could only look at her with blazing eyes.

"Big ...... Girl! Huan'er choked up, and then fell on the head of Mo Yunxiao's bed, whining and crying. Mo Yunxiao was suddenly startled, and her body couldn't help but tremble.

Huan'er cried and said, "Big girl! You're finally alive! Finally alive! God has eyes! ”

"I ...... Oh, yes, I'm alive. Mo Yunxiao smiled bitterly, then gently stroked Huan'er's temples, then grabbed her arm and helped her up, patted the side of the bed and said, "Sit down." ”

Huan'er was stunned for a moment, shook his hand again and again, and said, "No, no." The little ones didn't dare to sit with the girl. ”

"Oh, it's okay." Mo Yunxiao pulled her over. She let out an "oops", her body was weightless, and she had to sit on the edge of the bed.

Mo Yunxiao looked left and right, and then whispered: "Your name is Huan'er, right?" Is it my personal maid? ”

Huan'er showed a suspicious look and muttered, "Maid? ”

Mo Yunxiao's eyes rolled, and then she changed her words: "Is it a maidservant, a maid, a maid?" ”

Huan'er nodded and said, "Yes." Huan'er was bought by the girl from Renyazi yourself. ”

After she finished speaking, she turned her head sideways and looked at Mo Yunxiao carefully, and asked, "Big girl, the day before yesterday, you said that you already knew who pushed you into the lake." I don't know if you are talking to the second grandmother, or if you know who she is? ”

"Alas, how could I ......" Mo Yunxiao was suddenly alert halfway through her words, muttering: "This family doesn't know where it came from. Listening to what they said yesterday, it seems that only this ring accompanied Mo Yunxiao to swim in the lake. Then she could also be a murderer? ”

Thinking of this, her muscles tensed, she squinted, and said coldly, "Huan'er! Don't pretend to be stupid, the person who pushed me into the lake, others don't know, don't you know? ”

Huan'er stared at her and exclaimed, "Big girl, why can't you understand what you say?" ”

Mo Yunxiao leaned forward, forced her eyes to look at Huan'er and said, "At that time, only you and I went to swim in the lake, and the second and third girls had alibi evidence. The most suspicious person right now is you! ”

"Ahh Girl! Huan'er immediately turned over and knelt on the ground, crying and justifying: "The eldest girl is Huan'er's life-saving benefactor, and she is a golden-bodied bodhisattva who can't be repaid in her life." The eldest girl fell into a coma, and Huan'er didn't want to live, so she desperately accused the second girl and the second grandmother. Huan'er is certainly reckless, but the heart of the protector can show the sun and the moon! I hope that the big girl will see it! ”

"Humph! You're still quibbling! Mo Yunxiao slapped the edge of the bed heavily, making a muffled sound of "bang", which shook her palm and couldn't help but shake her hand again and again.

And Huan'er had to crawl on the ground, not daring to raise her head, I didn't see her so embarrassed and funny.

"Big girl!" Huan'er cried even more sadly. She wiped her tears, raised her head to look at Mo Yunxiao, and said: "In this Mo Mansion that is as cold as an ice cellar, in this ruthless world, Huan'er only takes the girl as the manager. But now, the girl is also suspicious of Huan'er. Just ask the whole world, where is there a place for Huan'er? How can you still have Huan'er's innocent body? ”

At this point, she was already teary-eyed. Tears glistened in the sun. She showed a pale smile and said, "Big girl, Huan'er can only repay the girl's kindness if she dies!" ”

As she spoke, she shook her head and slammed into the corner of the charcoal stove on her right. This charcoal furnace is made of metal, and the corners are also sharp and sharp. She would surely die if she crashed into it like this.

Mo Yunxiao was also taken aback and shouted, "Don't! Then he jumped to his feet and grabbed Huan'er by the collar tightly. But Huan'er was determined to die, only to hear a "swish", her clothes were torn, and Huan'er also crashed into the mahogany dressing table behind her because she lost her head.

With a muffled "bang", the bronze mirror on the dressing table only trembled, but Huan'er sat on the ground and looked at Mo Yunxiao in surprise.

Mo Yunxiao also lost her center of gravity because she pounced too hard. She: "Ah! With a scream, he fell out of bed, flipped twice, and rolled to Huan'er's feet.

"Oops! This is going to kill me. Mo Yunxiao slowly stood up with her waist and kept rubbing.

Huan'er looked at her, and suddenly got up and hugged Mo Yunxiao's legs tightly. Mo Yunxiao stumbled under her feet and was almost dragged by her again.

"Girl! Girl! Huan'er is absolutely harmless to the meaning of the girl, please see the girl! She said as she cried.

"Alright, alright." Mo Yunxiao helped her up, wiped the tears from her face with her own hands, and said, "I know it's not you." I say this because ......" she paused deliberately, looked in the direction of the doorway and the hanging window, and continued, "because the wall has ears." ”

"Oh?" Huan'er also instinctively looked sideways, but before she could turn her head, Mo Yunxiao lifted her face back and whispered, "Accompany me to play this play." ”

Huan'er woke up like a dream, nodded again and again, and said, "Okay, whatever the girl says, Huan'er will do." ”

Mo Yunxiao nodded with satisfaction, then paced back to the bed, put on his shoes, and sat down again, looking like an official trying the case.

She smiled and said, "You just said that I was your savior, so you can tell me how I saved you!" ”

Huan'er tugged at her torn clothes and explained sadly: "Seven years ago, the official family ...... Oh no, it's time to call the first emperor. At the beginning of the emperor's pro-government, he changed his course and restored the new law of Wang Xianggong, and the Su brothers and the old party in the court were scattered all over the country. My father used to work as a knife and pen clerk in Lantai, just because he took care of Su Dongpo, who was in prison, and at this time, he also settled accounts after the autumn, so he also ended up stealing his family and stabbing him. Our Chu members outside the city have been coveting Huan'er for a long time, and they have this opportunity to dredge the door to buy Huan'er. At this time, it was the girl who spent three times the amount of silver to buy Huan'er, so as to keep Huan'er's innocence now. So big girl, what is your life-saving grace for the little one? ”

In the end, she finally couldn't suppress the pain in her heart, and covered her face with her hands and cried "woo-woo".

Mo Yunxiao muttered: "Wang Anshi's change has a far-reaching impact. ”

Then she raised her head again and asked Huan'er: "You are also a girl from an official eunuch's family, but you have been reduced to a maid by this drastic change." Haven't you hated it all these years? ”

Huan'er wiped her tears and showed a hideous smile: "I hate!" I hate the officials! Hate the court of the Great Song Dynasty. I also hate Chu Yuanwai and Wang Xianggong! But ......" she sighed, shook her head and smiled bitterly: "I am a weak woman after all, I am very lucky to survive, I can't save my family Yan Jiaci, and I can't save Chengyu." ”

Mo Yunxiao's eyes lit up and asked, "Cheng Yu?" ”

Huan'er smiled helplessly: "Chengyu, Huan'er's cousin." Our two families are good friends, and we have already made a marriage contract. It's just that their family is also affected by my family, and the whole family is stabbed on Fujian Road, and they will never be allowed to return home. ”

Mo Yunxiao was stunned for a moment and muttered, "But it's really ruthless." ”

Huan'er wiped away her tears with both hands and smiled bitterly: "Yes, it's really ruthless." My father's small job is at most a thorn in the face of this. And the second grandmother's family is sad. Her father was once promoted by the prince and became a transfer envoy between the two Zhejiang. But later Shenzong died, and the first emperor Chongling ascended the throne and couldn't manage the country, so the Empress Dowager Gao hung the curtain. The Empress Dowager Gao was devoted to the old party, and recalled Sima Xianggong to the imperial court, not to mention, but also many people from the new party. Among them are the father and brother of the second grandmother. ”

"Ahh Mo Yunxiao was taken aback, looked left and right, and then lowered her voice and asked, "Then she was also sold to the Mo family by someone's teeth?" ”

Huan'er snorted coldly, shook her head and said, "Empress Dowager Gao is quite lenient, but she just dismissed her father and brother from office, and did not exile her. It was the second grandmother who was disgusted with her old and sick father and her brother who gave up on himself, and she had long wanted to climb the high branches. It happened that our eldest man went to Xichuan to pick tea leaves and met her. She was ingenious and won the favor of the eldest man, so she bought her back to be the concubine of the court. ”

Mo Yunxiao nodded and muttered, "Looking at her flattering appearance, I can guess it." ”

"It's just that the retribution is good." Huan'er smiled contemptuously and said, "It's just that Li Xian'e, the second grandmother's personal envoy, also followed her example, and showed off a little charm in front of Da Lang, so she became the third grandmother in the house." Outsiders have never known the details of this matter, and even the Song family sisters and brothers, who are good friends with our family, do not know much. But up and down the Mo house, there is no one who doesn't know. Just ......"

Huan'er paused and sighed: "Good people don't live long." The eldest girl's mother, the head of the Mo family, died due to dystocia. ”

Mo Yunxiao bit her lip lightly and nodded thoughtfully: "So that's the case." Their surname is Jiang or Wang, I have a bottom in my heart. ”

Huan'er saw that she was distracted, so she stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Big girl, are the people outside still there?" ”

"Huh? Oh! Mo Yunxiao reacted at this time, and hurriedly said: "They should all leave, but we will continue to perform often in the future." ”
