two cold

For this imperial food competition, my aunt went back home to discuss with my uncle which ingredients from North Korea, North Korea and even the Ming Dynasty would be imported. Jinying could not provide any advice on this, so she came to the Cui family alone after she retired. shrine.The mother's longevity tablet is enshrined in the ancestral hall, just like Cui's usual architecture. The dark gold windows of the ancestral hall are closed even in the strong wind, and the eaves protruding toward the sky are like claws. Imprison the blue sky in the black prison.

The spark in Jinying's eyes was only for a moment, and soon disappeared into her black eyes. She stood in front of the ancestral hall for a long time, but she didn't have the courage to move forward on her heels.

Jinying took a step back, then turned around and started running in the opposite direction of the ancestral hall. At first, it was just a trot, but it became a wild run as it accelerated from place to place.She broke through the gate of Cui's family abruptly, and she didn't even have time to explain her whereabouts clearly, she only knew that she wanted to abandon the entire Cui family with all her strength!Jinying ran across the river and over the mountain stream, she was tireless and did not know the end, until her foot stumbled on a tree root and she fell in the air, Jinying only felt a heavy knock on the back of her head, the brown land turned into a whirling blue sky, She really wanted to close her eyes like this, not to look at anything, regardless of the liquid dripping from the corners of her eyes, regardless of her swollen heart that was about to burst.

How long has it been since I heard the sound of the wind brushing my ears? Is that the last cicada in summer?The childish girl was wrapped in the warm palm of her mother, telling the beautiful scenery of the mountains with soft words...

"Jinying?"

She opened her eyes in a daze, but saw a person who shouldn't appear in her memory. "Why are you here?"

"Jinying, did you do anything? I'll help you..." Jang Jin's eyes were filled with deep anxiety, but his outstretched hand was pushed away violently.

"Go away!" I swung it vigorously, but felt a sense of dizziness, and the body that had just stood up fell back again, and my back hit the ground.

Seeing Jinying like this, Chang Jin insisted on helping Jinying up no matter how stubbornly he resisted.

I couldn't get rid of that person, so I had to let him move.

After Jang Jin struggled to lift Jin Ying up, Jin Ying pushed Jang Jin's shoulder away, and suddenly opened the distance.With a sinking gaze, Jinying left without nostalgia.

His right hand was grasped.The slightly sweaty palm, like a scorching iron burning all the way up from the back of the hand, made people want to shake it away anxiously.

"Jinying──" Jang Jin's voice suddenly lowered with a bit of sullenness.

Jinying sneered in her heart, who is the one who is really full of hardships and has nowhere to vent?Even Jang Geum, whom I met by chance today, wants to teach me a lesson?

The other party changed his tone in an instant. "Jinying, can you accompany me to see my mother? My mother is buried here."

Jang Geum had mentioned her mother to her.

Jinying knows that Jang Geum's mother taught her to wash dishes with hot water when it rained, and taught her how to cook delicious dishes with beef offal. That woman who is full of wisdom just by listening, now only has a short cut. The tombstone, pain or sadness are also blurred along with the words on the monument.

Jang Geum was left speechless, but tears welled up in his eyes.

She knew that feeling, she once had it but couldn't grasp it, and she didn't know what memories were left in the end, just like the father and mother she once wanted to remember deeply.

"My mother's name is Xu＼Mingyi. She was hurt by bad guys in order to protect me. I always remember what happened that day..." Hearing the narration full of memories, there was a bitter smile on Jinying's face. He also won her, at least Jang Geum stayed with her mother until the moment she left, and she never even saw her mother's last face.

"The last thing I fed my mother was the mountain strawberry fruit. I wanted to make it the last dessert of this competition, but I can't find it this season..."

"I know..." Jin Ying looked at Jang Geum and said, "Maybe the Cui family's orchard still exists."

He led Chang Jin to the orchard, and when the garden guard saw that it was Miss Cui, he let them in without asking any further questions.

"You should find what you want here." After the leader Jin entered the garden, seeing him exploring around the garden, Jinying only twitched the corners of his mouth, and stood under the ginkgo tree, leaning a little tiredly.

If she knew dim sum would be the key to winning the royal meal competition, would she still bring Jang Geum there?

Jinying only thought for a moment after knowing the defeat, and the pain of her clenched lower lip told her that there was no such possibility.There is no turning back arrow when opening the bow, she is like a flying arrow, even if she deviates from the target, she can only go forward desperately, carrying the mistakes of life and falling into the abyss.

"Impossible, there must be a way..." Cui Shanggong murmured after losing the imperial meal competition, pacing around the premises endlessly thinking of a way. "Han Shanggong didn't participate in this competition at all, everything was caused by Jang Geum, I want to ask Ti Tiao Shanggong to re-compete..."

Jinying's pale face revealed a hint of impatience. "Ma'am, we lost."

"Han Shanggong never competed with me, who said I lost!" After being furious, Cui Shanggong's expression was unusually calm. "When you came back to Cui's house that day, you said you went to the orchard, right?"

Jinying's heart tightened.

"What Jang Geum presents is not an ordinary wild strawberry fruit. This is not the season when the wild strawberry fruit is abundant." Cui Shanggong's eyes were colder than his words. "Because of Jang Geum's strawberry fruit, the Cui family had to give up their position as the imperial kitchen and palace passed down from generation to generation. How much profit the Cui business group will lose because of this matter, and how many members of the Cui family will lose their jobs because of this. I can't even imagine the scene of mourning everywhere."

"Ever since I became Shanggong, I know that the prosperity of the Cui family is my only mission. As a court lady, I have nothing to pursue, only the continuous prosperity of the family..." Cui Shanggong's expression is like a stone The wall, engraved with an unbreakable oath. "Jinying, you forgot that this is the first thing I taught you after you entered the palace."

The innocent smile that I saw many years ago appeared in front of Jinying's eyes again. The head of the line said that his son's name is Cui Shi. If the Cui business group loses the channels of the palace, will the immature, tender and lovely smile change? Drying up, is that the responsibility she has to bear...

"Your Majesty, Jinying has never forgotten your words." That night, she only buried the wild strawberries that Jang Geum had given her in the backyard.One after another, the soil was covered.Jinying's hands were covered on the slightly raised mound, which remained unmoved for a long time, as piously as if performing a ceremony.

That was farewell to Jang Geum.

--------------------------------------------

The sour taste continued to spread.

At first it was the tongue, slowly soaked\sexually to the throat, and even the heart felt the sharply twisted sourness.

She is obviously a medical woman, but she is helpless to deal with this disease, and she can't even find out the cause.

Or, in fact, she knew it, just like after winning the imperial meal competition, her heart, which should be full of joy, turned bitter after tasting the real fruit of wild strawberries. He looked at her with piercing eyes.

But in the orchard, when a ray of sunlight streamed down through the cracks in the leaves, Jinying looked at her so warmly, and told her to put away the wild strawberries in her bosom.

"It's a connection between you and your mother, which is great."

Even now, she still doesn't understand what Jinying's sudden loneliness is like, like the usual sudden gentleness, like silk threads of two different colors, but twisted into a sharp blade forcibly, drawing a line on her heart road.

She is often saddened by Jinying's tenderness, and often resents Jinying's ruthlessness.

Jang Geum circled a circle with his index finger, and tightly covered it with his left hand.

That was the gesture when she handed the mountain strawberries to Jinying, and it was also the gesture where she placed the fruits on the plate. Why didn't she send warmth while turning around and handed the dagger?

"Kimei, why are you helping me?"

She remembered that the sunlight sifted through the leaves, showing small round holes on her arms, and the leaves moving in the wind dazzled her eyes.

However, Jinying took the wild strawberry accurately and turned around gracefully. "It's getting late, Empress Han Shanggong and Empress Cui Shanggong are waiting for us to go back."

"Jinying..."

"Jang Geum, stand in your position, because this position is precarious at any time."

Standing on the long and narrow corridor of the palace, Cui Shanggong, who had to be supported by others, had enough eyes to tear people apart. Jinying's cold expression was like the dark palace walls on both sides. She straightened her back and walked past her ignoring her.

At that time, she was still holding a wild strawberry in her hand, but she felt sore from then on.
