Chapter 880: Rotting Grass as Fireflies (1)
The courtyard is deep in summer, and the pomegranates are open all over the curtain.
At this time, it is the summer season, the sky is clear and hazy, a trace of warm clouds with golden light hangs in the sky, and the scorching sunset will illuminate the lotus pond in the huge courtyard with a golden yellow.
The blue-clothed maid with her double bun crossed the bluestone path that hung back from Langya, panting and running towards the courtyard, running through the bright red roses on the fence, passing through the white jade corridor, and knocking on the closed door.
"Miss, Miss! Cuizhu has something to report! ”
The maid said in a hurry, and her voice was a little anxious, as if she had been frightened by something.
The closed door suddenly opened from the inside, and out came a woman in a long blue dress, who also seemed to be a maid.
"What's wrong?" The maid Taozhi looked at Bizhu, her face was not very good-looking, "You didn't come back until dinner, and when you come back, you will be so angry, and you are not afraid of arguing with Miss." ”
Bizhu's face turned red, and she also realized that she was not calm, and said ashamedly: "It's the slave who has taken the lead, please forgive Sister Taozhi and Miss."
"Okay, okay," Momozhi fingered the white jade accessories around her waist, unwilling to bother with her, "Tell me what happened?" ”
At the mention of this, the flush on Bizhu's face instantly dissipated, and the corners of his mouth turned white and said, "It's news from Lingzhou."
Lingzhou? Taozhi's face changed, "What news is coming from Lingzhou, why don't I and Miss know?" ”
"It's Lingzhou Pei's eldest son...... Bizhu lowered his head and said solemnly: "Now it's rumored outside, Pei Changming, the eldest son of the Pei family in Lingzhou, is high-spirited and humiliating, and in order to escape from the marriage with the young lady, it has been, has been ......."
"What's going on?" Momoeda asked eagerly.
"I've eloped with the second miss of Yongzhou."
"What?!" Taozhi's complexion changed instantly, "Master Pei and Miss Pei have been childhood sweethearts since childhood, they are always friends, and they have a deep affection, how could he elope?" Whoever is talking nonsense outside, I have to go over and tear his mouth apart! ”
"There's no nonsense," Bizhu endured the horror and said tremblingly: "This matter has spread all over Kyushu, and some people have seen that Prince Pei is going to Yongzhou, saying that he wants to marry Miss Pingwang, the governor of Yongzhou......"
This has been spread all over the world, how can it be false?
Taozhiqi's eyes were red, she stared at Bizhu deadly, and couldn't hide her resentment: "Are you sure you heard it right?"
"Slaves don't dare to lie." Bizhu had to swear to the sky, "If I deceive you and Miss, there will be five thunderstorms in the sky." ”
Momozhi felt cold all over her body, "This, this-" How should this be?
If this kind of thing happens, won't their young lady become the laughing stock of Kyushu, this Lingzhou eldest son is simply shameful!
"Sister Momozhi?" Bizhu looked at Taozhi without a master, shocked and scared, but Taozhi had no idea in her heart, so she only said: "Now the young lady is finally sleeping for a while, and I will talk about it when she wakes up."
Before the words fell, a faint voice came from inside: "It's okay, let's send someone to withdraw from this family business."
"Miss......" Momozhi hurriedly walked inside, through the delicate screen of butterflies and peonies, and walked straight to the bed covered with the bed tent, "Miss, are you awake?" How's the spirit? Are you okay? ”
"Okay." In the middle of the answer, a white, almost transparent hand stretched out from the bed tent, slender and weak, stained with an unknown pathology.
Peach Branch leaned over and opened the bed account, there was a thin woman sitting in the middle, the woman's posture was natural, like a painting, a pair of beautiful bright eyes were clean and thorough, and her temperament was like summer lotus dew, which was called a country and a city, but her face was as pale as paper, and her body had a strong medicinal fragrance all the year round, adding a few wisps of sorrow to this beauty.
"Miss," Momozhi stepped up to support her, "you've slept lightly these days, do you want to sleep for a while?" ”
"I can't sleep," the girl shook her head, leaning on the head of the bed like a weak little beast, she reached out and took out a white crystal hosta from under the soft pillow, the hairpin was not carved with any ornaments, but it was as smooth as if there was a streamer of light, and people could not take their eyes off.
"I dreamed of my sister." The girl rubbed the hosta, and there was a strong longing in her beautiful eyes, "I dreamed that I was playing hide and seek with her in the garden when I was a child, and I hid behind the most eye-catching Qionghua tree in the yard, but she couldn't find me, and kept calling me in the house, she called me quinoa, and asked me where I was, and I wanted to talk to her for a while, but I couldn't open my mouth......"
"Miss......" Momozhi's eyes turned red instantly, "Don't try yourself like this, if you want to be Miss, you can go over and see her tomorrow." ”
"I know." Jin Quinoa nodded, put the hairpin back under the pillow, and she got out of bed with the help of the peach branch, "Let's prepare dinner." ”
"Okay, the slave will go and tell Bizhu."
Jin Quinoa is a medicine jar, it is not good to hit the small body bones, the food is less, the food is also very light, after drinking a bowl of eight-treasure porridge, I wiped my mouth.
Taozhi waited for her to wash up, and when she was cleaned up, she asked about Lingzhou Pei Gongzi again.
"Tomorrow morning, I will pass on Mr. Liu, and return all the dowry gifts and love tokens sent over that year, and after I retire, I must get my tokens back."
"Yes." After Momozhi waited for her to lie down, she waited by the side.
Jin Quinoa didn't like to look at her when she slept, so she went down to rest.
As soon as the peach branch left, Jin Quinoa turned his head and took out the hosta under the pillow, looked at the word "tea" engraved on the end of the hairpin, and burst into tears.
She is the daughter of the king of Zhongzhou, her father was called the king in Zhongzhou in the prime of life, known as the king of Jin, the power is monstrous, she and her sister Jincha is the only child of her father, raised as a pearl in the palm of her hand, her sister is lively and cheerful, she likes to practice adventures, is a very transparent person, she is a premature baby, the body is poor, and she needs precious medicinal materials every day to hang her life.
But I don't know when it began, Kyushu began to spread rumors that she was destined to be ruthless, her life was extremely fierce, and she was in danger of being punished, not only killing her biological mother, but also killing her father and eldest sister.
Whoever marries her will marry the living king of Hades, and sooner or later the whole family will die.
Because her mother died in childbirth when she gave birth to her, the name of Xingke was like an epidemic that haunted her.
Soon the princess of Liuzhou, who was married to her, fell from a horse and died, and then her father had a serious illness, and the attendants in the courtyard died one after another, which confirmed her name.
The father and eldest sister didn't believe that she had such a fate, and found countless Taoist elders to match her eight characters, but the final result was not satisfactory, and even said that she was a demon star from the sky and should be strangled to death when she was in infancy.
She felt very desperate, but she didn't know what to do, until her father was ill, Liuzhou took advantage of the danger to provoke a war on the border, and her father died in battle, she realized that she was really a scourge.
Zhongzhou faced the situation of being divided, and the eldest sister stepped forward, and although she won the battle, she died halfway due to excessive blood loss.
