Chapter 499 Xichun: She saw it all
In the Xichun courtyard, in the Miaoyu wing room, the candlelight is beating, the figures are vivid, and the green smoke of borneol mixed with licorice and musk curls up from the smoker cage.
On the bed, a nun in a monk's robe decorated with moon-white ice silk patterns, with black hair draped behind her shoulders, on her cold and unpowdered jade face, her sickness and harshness have gone, and her complexion is ruddy and scattered like clouds.
After Daiyu gave birth, Miaoyu still gave her a birthday gift, but she didn't go to join in the excitement of Tianxianglou. At this moment, she was holding a book of Three Kingdoms in her hand, she gently covered the scroll, and murmured: "How many things have risen and fallen through the ages, long-term, do not waste the flow of rivers and rivers through the ages..."
The more I read these stories of the Three Kingdoms, the more I am fascinated by them.
Like a golden and iron horse, the magnificent historical picture scroll is dyed between the lines.
When he was in a state of uncertainty, suddenly, a nun entered the hall and said in a low voice: "Miss, Miss Xichun is here."
Miao Yuxiu frowned slightly, she felt something in her heart, quickly put down the scroll in her hand, stared at it, and saw that Xi Chun had already walked around the screen and entered the wing room.
The girl was wearing a light pink jacket, and a bamboo green and light white pair of skirts inside. She was petite and exquisite, with a look of concern on her face that was slightly covered with frost.
"Where are you from?" Miao Yu asked, standing up.
While sitting down, Xichun said softly: "I just had dinner with sister-in-law and played mahjong for a while."
Since mahjong appeared, Qin Keqing often called Xichun to play.
Miao Yu nodded and said softly, "That's pretty good."
The girl who was originally cold-hearted in front of her eyes became full of fireworks almost a little bit in front of her eyes.
And all of this is probably because of that Uncle Heng.
At this time, Xichun's voice was soft and soft, explaining the purpose of coming, and said: "The earth is turning around, brother Heng is busy going to the yamen to handle the case."
Miaoyu's raised eyebrows slowly relaxed, and she asked casually, "What case are you handling?"
Because Miaoyu lived alone in the back house and had a perverted temperament, some women from the Ning Mansion did not come to bother her, so the news was delayed by a long time, and she didn't know about the collapse of the imperial tomb and the series of major cases that followed.
Xichun squeezed her handkerchief, and said softly: "I heard from Brother Heng earlier that the tomb that King Zhongshun was supervising was shaken down because of the earth dragon's turbulence. Officials were all sent to jail.”
That day, she heard Master Miaoyu talking to him, and vaguely heard him mention that Master Miaoyu's family was in decline and wandering in the world, which was related to this loyal king. Presumably, this loyal king should be the chief culprit of Master Miaoyu's loneliness The culprit.
Miaoyu's expression froze for a moment, her heart was mixed with surprise and joy, she looked at Xichun in amazement, her voice was no longer calm as usual, but with a hint of urgency, she asked, "Do you know what happened in the end?"
Nearly noon, the ground dragon was stirring when she was a child, she knew it, and she didn't want to be the reason why King Zhongshun lost power?
Xichun shook her head and said: "I haven't seen Brother Heng yet, and I haven't heard the follow-up. In the evening, Brother Heng went to the palace after dinner."
Miao Yu frowned, her clear eyes showed some thought, and immediately asked: "What happened today, can you tell me in detail?"
Xichun then narrated the story. From Jia Heng back to Tianxiang Tower, she kept talking about King Zhongshun's involvement in the case, and only talked about the birth gift Jia Heng gave to Daiyu. The girl obviously paused, her eyes flickering. , I don't know what to think.
Yuan, Ying, Tan, and Xi are four springs, and birthdays gather almost throughout the spring.
After hearing what Xichun said, Miaoyu had a look of worry in her eyes, and said in a low voice, "He's wrestling with someone... Are you okay?"
Xichun said: "I see, there should be no serious problems, but the others don't know."
Thinking about it, even if he was injured, he wouldn't tell others.
When Miaoyu heard this, she couldn't help feeling anxious, subconsciously moved the Buddhist beads in her hand, and kept chanting the Buddha's name in her heart.
She also needs to see him tomorrow. Speaking of which, she hasn't seen him for a while.
Xichun said: "Brother Heng will be busy with this matter these days."
Let's talk about Jia Heng, who left the West Mansion and returned to the East Mansion by night. It was already the right time, he tossed and turned back and forth, and there was no room for time. It was almost the twelve o'clock in Chang'an.
Jia Heng stepped into the wing room, raised his eyes and saw Qing Wen, who was sitting by the small table, with a small hand on her cheek, dozing off like a chicken chopping rice.
"Young Master." Hearing the sound of footsteps, Qingwen trembled, called out, and said charmingly, "Young Master is back?"
Jia Heng nodded and said, "You're back, why don't you go to sleep."
Qingwen said coquettishly: "I thought the young master came back, and there was no one to take a bath, so I waited for a while, but I didn't feel sleepy. Young master, I will tell you to go down. The young master has prepared hot water, and the young master can go take a bath."
Jia Heng nodded without saying much, and went to take a bath in the inner room under Qingwen's service.
Just as she took off her boa robe and unbuttoned her inner garment, she heard Qingwen say in shock from behind, "Why are there bruises on your shoulders, sir?"
Jia Heng paused for a moment, and explained: "When I was in the palace, I was hit by a brick from the earthquake of the earth dragon. It was only a minor injury, but nothing serious."
"Young master, why didn't you say that earlier?" Qingwen frowned slightly, and said eagerly.
Jia Heng said: "It's okay, I brought some medicinal wine, after taking a bath later, you can help me apply it, and then knead and knead it will be fine."
As he said that, he stepped on the bamboo and entered the bathtub, being soaked in the extremely warm bath water at this moment, he felt a lazy sense of comfort rushing to his limbs and bones, and he couldn't help but close his eyes slightly.
Qingwen also got into the bathtub, but after a while, she choked up slightly.
Although Young Master Cai said it lightly, she knew better than anyone else the thrill of it.
Jia Heng's heart was slightly different, and he turned to look at the pretty girl, pinched her smooth and fat face, and asked, "It's pretty good, why are you crying?"
Speaking of which, Qingwen was the first maid in the real sense after he came to this world.
"I thought, the young master is so dangerous outside, and the house is still so chaotic." Qingwen said.
This is to say that Mrs. Wang is ignorant of the general situation and jumps up and down.
Jia Heng smiled, caressed Qingwen's face, stretched out her thumb to wipe away the tears on her cheek, and asked: "Why, help me fight the injustice."
Qingwen said angrily: "My lord, I'm not in Tianxianglou today. You didn't see me. They sang together, in front of the eldest grandma, and through the eldest girl's marriage, they sent you the son."
Jia Heng was silent for a moment, and said: "The woman in the back house, isn't that the case? Eyelids are shallow, do you remember when I was in the wicker alley, did I tell you?"
As she spoke, she gently stroked Qingwen's shaved shoulders, and the smooth and delicate shoulders overflowed inch by inch in the palm of her hand.
"Young master, I hope that I will not become such an unreasonable person in the future." Qingwen raised her palm-sized face, and there was still a little bit of gleam in her bright eyes.
"Yes." Jia Heng nodded, and joked with a smile: "But my Qingwen didn't catch up at all today, and it's a bit beyond my expectation."
"I originally wanted to help grandma with a few words, but then I thought about the young master's entrustment, so I spared that Wang family." Qingwen curled her lips and said angrily.
"Forgive me?" Jia Heng said softly, pinched the little bear, smiled and said: "I have grown up and become sensible."
"It's all taught by the young master." Qingwen said tremblingly, her jade face was already as bright as the sky, her eyes were as charming as silk, and the autumn water was full of waves.
Jia Heng paused for a moment, Gein, the two of them spoke quite ambiguously at the moment.
However, it is not bad, it is indeed his credit that he has grown up.
Turning around and asking Qingwen to help her take a bath, the girl immediately leaned forward, her soft and clingy figure clinging to a big tree like a wisteria.
"Young master, you are sleepy, just lean on and rest for a while."
"En." Jia Heng nodded, closed his eyes slightly, and enjoyed Wen's service.
After taking a bath, Jia Heng got up, put on a round-neck robe of Shu brocade, and left the room.
It didn't make Qingwen, she was indeed a little tired today, and she also needed to think about tomorrow's affairs.
In the study room, a lamp is like a bean, and there are two figures. Jia Heng took out the medicinal wine from the cabinet, handed it to Qingwen and said, "Help me apply the medicinal wine and rub it."
Qingwen responded, smeared the medicinal wine, and squeezed her shoulders, while Jia Heng's fatigue dissipated a little.
It's just that when he was applying the medicinal wine, a soft and watery sound suddenly came from the small hall of the study.
"Husband, it's so late, why haven't you fallen asleep yet?" Qin Keqing, who had heard that Jia Heng had returned, led Baozhu and Ruizhu, walked into the inner room, and looked at the man whose shoulders were being pinched by Qingwen. The young man was stunned, and there was no surprise.
Just a glimpse of the bruise on Jia Heng's shoulder, she was startled, took two quick steps, frowned and said, "Your husband is injured? Why didn't you tell me."
Jia Heng could only briefly narrate what happened, and said: "Actually, it's nothing, I didn't want to tell you earlier, it just caused worry."
Qin Keqing paused, sat down, took the handkerchief from Qingwen, and said distressedly: "Husband, we are husband and wife."
Jia Heng was slightly startled when he heard the words, turned his eyes to look at the face full of concern, and nodded.
Qin Keqing took the medicinal wine from Qingwen, poured it into the palm of her hand, rubbed it with her hands, then spread it on Jia Heng's shoulders, helped to knead and spread it evenly, and said softly, "Husband, you should be more careful outside."
Qingwen retreated to the side, quietly watching the couple, even though she knew it was wrong, there was still a soreness in her heart.
Jia Heng nodded and said, "Sometimes it's inevitable."
At this moment, the shadows of people sitting and standing under the lights are projected on the cabinets and high tables on the wall. The husband and wife are talking in a low voice, and time seems to slow down.
Her slender hands kneaded her shoulders, and after a while, Qin Keqing asked softly, "Husband, are you feeling better?"
Jia Heng turned to look at Qin Keqing, put on his robe, and said with a smile: "I'm much better now, it's not a serious injury, I'll be fine if I rest for two days, by the way, it's getting late at this time, so I should rest Are you on it?"
Saying that, she got up, supported Qin Keqing's shoulder, and said in a gentle voice: "This herbal medicine is a bit strong, I'll sleep in the study today."
"Baozhu, go get a pair of quilts, I'll sleep here too." Qin Keqing said softly.
Jia Heng: "..."
Of course, this is not because of the girl's desire to care about her, but because she is convenient to take care of herself.
"Then I'd better go back to sleep, the bed here is a bit small." Jia Heng laughed hoarsely, said softly, then took Qin Keqing's hand, and supported each other back to the wing.
No more words for one night.
The next day, the rain stopped and the sky cleared up. Jia Heng got up early in the morning, sat in the living room, and had breakfast with Qin Keqing around a small round table.
Qin Keqing asked: "Husband, when shall we go to father's side?"
"I'll go tomorrow. I'll have someone call Jingqing from the school." Jia Heng took a spoonful of white fungus and lotus seed porridge, swallowed it, and replied softly.
Qin Keqing nodded and said, "Father must have been worrying about the Ministry of Industry in the past two days."
"It will take some time. I have been busy with this case recently. I will talk to my father-in-law tomorrow." Jia Heng said.
While they were talking, a servant girl entered the hall and interrupted the couple's conversation, saying: "Master, Master Miaoyu from the East Court said he has something to see, and he is waiting for you in the study."
Jia Heng nodded, and told the maid: "Let her go back first, and go to her place after I have dinner."
The maid immediately obeyed and turned back.
Jia Heng raised her eyes to look at Qin Keqing, and said in a warm voice: "Miaoyu probably asked about King Zhongshun. She was originally a family of officials, but because of offending King Zhongshun, her family suffered disaster. Fortunately, she became a monk in the temple to protect herself. I presumably came here to ask for news after hearing about King Zhongshun's involvement in the case of the imperial tomb."
"I've vaguely heard people say that Master Miaoyu was originally a daughter of an official family. Her parents died young and her background was miserable. I don't want to have such a story." Qin Keqing said with emotion.
Jia Heng didn't say anything else anymore, after breakfast, he got up and went to Miaoyu Courtyard.
Miaoyu has already got the answer from the servant girl, so she turns back.
I didn't deal with people very much, so it was just right to go back at this time, but I was feeling lost, standing alone under the eaves, looking at a osmanthus tree with sparse branches and leaves in the courtyard, because it rained last night, the osmanthus tree The new buds that have been pulled out are seen rolling in the rain and dew, and the branches are even more wet.
Not long after, Miaoyu's heart moved slightly, as if she had a feeling, she stared at it, and saw a familiar figure at the doorway at the end of Chaoshou corridor, was it Jia Heng or who?
"Master." Jia Heng called out from a distance, came over with a Shishi expression, looked at Miaoyu, and said: "Just now my master was looking for me, and I have something to say to my master."
Miao Yu suppressed the joy in her heart, nodded, and stretched out her hand to invite: "Master Heng also invites you to talk in the room."
The two entered the wing room, where the guests and the host took their seats.
"Is the teacher all right these few days? You have completely recovered from your illness." Jia Heng looked at the nun who turned around to make tea, and asked.
The nun is wearing a Miaochang bun, wearing a moon white crane silk monk robe, and a water and fire silk sash around her waist.
Miaoyu carried the teapot, took the green jade bucket, poured tea for Jia Heng, turned around and handed it over, her voice was as clear as broken jade: "Thanks to Master Heng, everything is fine for the poor nun."
Jia Heng took the green jade bucket, took a sip of tea, and said: "Yesterday, the imperial mausoleum collapsed, and the palace was outraged. King Zhongshun has also been deposed as a commoner, and he went to Gongling to do hard labor. Your father's revenge, It’s been reported as of today.”
"This..." Miaoyu's delicate body trembled when she heard the words, and she felt dizzy, her eye circles turned red, and her heart was filled with mixed feelings.
When I got the confirmation from Jia Heng, my mood was not comparable to what I heard from Xi Chun yesterday.
Jia Heng got up quickly, grabbed Miaoyu's arm, who was already standing unsteadily, and said in a low voice: "Master Miaoyu, please take care."
Miaoyu turned to look at the young man, tears rolled in her bright eyes, she closed her eyes slightly, the tears flowed silently to her cheeks, the pear blossoms were raining, and her expression was mournful.
Jia Heng didn't say much, just sighed softly, let Miaoyu sob, and said comfortingly: "If you want to cry, just cry, it's human nature."
Hearing this, Miaoyu seemed to be unable to restrain her grief, she buried her head in the boy's arms, and sobbed softly on Jia Heng's shoulder.
Jia Heng supported the trembling shoulders and let Miaoyu cry in her arms.
Perhaps, Miaoyu also needs a tear to comfort her parents.
After a while, seeing Miaoyu's mood gradually calmed down, Jia Heng comforted in a low voice: "Miss Miaoyu, uncle and aunt have spirits in the sky, and I don't want you to destroy yourself too much. You are so sad that you still need to look forward It is."
Miaoyu gave a soft "hmm", and after being sad at this moment, she was surprised to find that she was in the arms of the young man?
Jia Heng let go of Miaoyu's shoulders, and said in a low voice: "I told you earlier that the case back then was too involved, and it was not easy to get redressed. We need to wait for the right time."
At this moment, Miaoyu raised her eyes to look at Jia Heng, and saw that the front of the boy's chest was wet with tears, her eyes were drooping, and she bit her lower lip with her white teeth, she was really ashamed to look at others.
Jia Heng noticed Miao Yu's gaze and didn't care, but said: "Master, wipe the tears off her face."
Said, handed over a handkerchief.
Miaoyu reached out to take it, turned around and wiped away her tears, and was about to put it into the armhole.
"Master." Jia Heng stretched out his hand and gently grabbed the corner of the handkerchief, and Miaoyu even "ignored" him several handkerchiefs.
Miaoyu said in a low voice: "If it's dirty, I'll give it to you after I wash it."
"It's okay, it's just tears, and it's not dirty." Jia Heng paused for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Besides, if you want to wash, it should be washing clothes, right?"
Miaoyu: "..."
A flash of embarrassment flashed in my heart, this man never forgot to make fun of her.
Jia Heng took the handkerchief, said, sat down, picked up the green jade bucket on the small table, took a sip of tea, and said: "I will go to Jinyi Mansion to interrogate the case later, then I will ask about the case, turn around Talk to the teacher again."
Miaoyu also sat down, glanced at the calm young man, nodded, said "hmm" and stopped talking.
Jia Heng sat for a while, put down the green jade bucket, and said: "Let's do this first, let's talk about it later."
"Then I'll see off Uncle Heng."
Saying that, Miaoyu sent Jia Heng outside the door, and watched Jia Heng disappear outside the Moon Gate.
"Sister Miaoyu." At this moment, Xichun's faint voice suddenly came from under the eaves, as if coming from the corner of the wall.
Miaoyu was almost taken aback, turned her eyes to look, and thought to herself, when did Xichun come?
"Master Miaoyu's longing has come to fruition?" Xichun pursed her cherry lips and glanced at Miaoyu whose face was still full of tears.
Just now Miaoyu was hugging him, and she saw it.
Miaoyu nodded, and then shook her head again.
King Zhongshun lost his power, and his parents were avenged. Although they haven't been rehabilitated, it can be regarded as a result, and other things should have no results.
