Love in the Red Chamber is full of Xiaoxiang

Chapter 119: Whose fault is it?

It rained all night, adding a bit of coolness when it was warm and cold.

The embroidered curtain is rolled up high, and the birds are whispering.Daiyu changed her clothes, took Hanyan out, and went to Yiyuan.On the way, he met Nan Qing who was going to pay his respects, and was surrounded by a group of people.

When Nan Qing saw Daiyu, she had to step forward and ask a few words, pretending to care for a while: "Oh, the weather is like this, Miss Lin is still wearing big hairy clothes, it seems that she really can't stand the wind. Such a What's wrong with the weather, and you don't stay at home properly, Miss Lin is a rich woman, if she gets sick again, I don't know what will happen to this mansion."

Daiyu listened to the concubine's words, which seemed to be compliments and irony, and felt uncomfortable, especially harsh, and said after a moment of pondering: "Daiyu can't bear what the concubine said, and she doesn't have that kind of blessing. Wangfei I was sick, and I should have gone to say hello to him, so I don’t care if it’s cold or not, or if it’s raining.”

Nan Qing chuckled and went with Daiyu.

The concubine just got up, and the maid was helping to wash and wash up, so she looked up and saw the two of them going together, she was a little surprised.

Nan Qing flattered her with a smile: "Princess Wang's complexion is much better today, it seems that she has recovered from her illness."

The concubine said: "How can it be, you should worry more about the family affairs. I can't take care of it anymore."

Nan Qing replied: "These are nothing, it is a serious matter for the princess to maintain her health."

The concubine thought for a while before saying: "What happened last time is not allowed to happen again, I can't control if I get caught."

Nan Qing had no choice but to reply yes, feeling a little uncomfortable on her face.

The concubine teased Nan Qing and turned her head to talk to Dai Yu.Nan Qing was stunned for a while and had to walk away.

The princess and Daiyu said: "An aunt from the Bodhi nunnery came here yesterday. I wanted to live in the nunnery for a few days, but I couldn't leave for a while. I also sent a few volumes of scriptures, and Miss Lin copied them for me. A few volumes, I have already distributed some to the princess. This is the most meritorious thing."

Daiyu thought that she would have nothing to do when she was free anyway, and she was very good at writing, so she readily agreed.The princess then asked Cuizhu to give her a golden silk bag, which contained two volumes of scriptures and Tibetan incense burned when copying.

Hu Momo said next to her: "The lord won't let the empress do this anymore, I'm afraid that the empress will change her temperament, and now she can take care of her body with peace of mind, it doesn't matter."

The princess said indifferently: "Does he still care what I do? What's bothering him?"

Hu Momo hurriedly said: "Madam, the lord is concerned about you, why..."

The concubine interrupted her coldly: "You don't have to say anything good for him in front of me, I don't allow that person to be mentioned in this room."

Daiyu was full of doubts, but she didn't want to ask more questions.

After waiting for breakfast, the servant woman came in to announce that Mother Han was coming. The princess was startled, thinking what Han Qi said when she went back, how could she alarm her old man.Hastily put on a piece of clothes, helped Cuizhu out of the inner room, and went to the outer room.Cuizhu helped her to sit down, put two pillows behind her, and covered her body with a thin blanket.He cheered up, not wanting his mother to see anything.

Cuizhu took a bowl of ginseng tea, usually the concubine would not drink it, but she drank a few sips today, in order to make her face look brighter, she didn't want her mother to worry about her daughter when she was old.

Sure enough, not long after, led by the servants and surrounded by maids and daughter-in-laws, Mother Han entered Yiyuan.

The servant girl on the corridor said: "Madam is here."

The concubine supported Cui Zhu and wanted to get up to meet her, but Han Mu had already stepped over the threshold.Seeing the princess wanted to bow down, but she grabbed her and shouted eagerly: "Ma'am!"

Han Muzai looked at her daughter carefully, and sighed: "My mother, why are you so thin?"

The concubine forced a smile and said: "It's nothing, it must be the second younger brother who went back to talk to you." She pulled her mother to sit down again.

Mother Han said anxiously: "I heard that you are sick again. I am so anxious that I can't eat, and I can't sleep well at night. Fortunately, the distance is not very far, so I have to come to see you no matter what. Where is the prince?"

The princess replied: "Still in court."

Mother Han looked at her daughter carefully again, feeling distressed, and held her hand tightly: "Hey, it's not like that. Years ago I heard that you were sick, so it's not good until now." .I should also talk about you properly. Don't think about being young and having a good foundation, so you don't take good care of yourself and see what you are now. When you were still at home before, where did you suffer from these diseases? I still count on Carrying a grandson. A few years ago, it was said that it was because of clothes, but why there is still no news in the past two years."

The concubine was afraid of hearing such words, so she had to say: "The imperial doctor said that it is not a serious illness, and it will be fine after a while. Why does Madam make this trip herself?"

Han's mother pulled the elder's face: "I know you think I am a talkative old woman. Now that you are a princess, I shouldn't talk about you. Fortunately, you don't have a mother-in-law, otherwise I will see how you live."

The princess's face turned red suddenly, she felt a little palpitation, she stroked her chest and gasped for a few times, before she gradually calmed down.These behaviors fell into the mother's eyes, so she was naturally full of pity.

Seeing this, Cui Zhu had no choice but to say to Han Mu: "Madam, don't say such things today, our mother needs to rest well. How can we add these troubles. If Madam has something to teach, it's not too late to say it later."

Han's mother scolded, "You rude girl, is that how you talk?" It can be seen that the daughter is so serious that she dare not say any more.

Hu Momo hurriedly sent someone to find the pills that the princess usually took, and she felt a little better after taking the medicine.Seeing her daughter like this, Han's mother was naturally heartbroken. She asked her daughter to go back to bed and lie down, and she felt a little guilty.When the concubine calmed down, Mother Han said: "By the way, last time the master said that he met some kind of miracle doctor. When I go back, I will ask him to find the miracle doctor and give you a good look at it. Don't delay any longer."

Although the concubine needs her body, she has a very clear consciousness and hurriedly stopped her: "No, I don't need any kind of doctor for this disease. The family doctors who have come and gone have not clarified, so how dare you disturb any kind of doctor. The master and wife don't need it." Too much trouble. My own body, I understand it myself."

"You child, you are so sick. You are still so stubborn, don't be afraid, we are here. Besides, he happens to be in Beijing, so it's no harm to come and see him."

The princess hurriedly sat up from the bed, with her hair loose, and cried, "I've said it before, don't see any miracle doctor. Whether it's a short life or a long life, it's all my life."

Mother Han never thought her daughter's reaction would be so strong. She frowned and said, "Silly boy, what are you talking about. You are the only daughter who is a mother. Don't I feel sorry for you? What do you mean by that?"

The princess was anxious and didn't know how to explain it to her mother, so she burst into tears: "Mother, just obey me this time."

Mother Han seemed a little annoyed: "Okay, you can take care of it with peace of mind. I know it well."

I don't know who said something outside: "The prince is here."

Mother Han hurriedly got up, and soon, Shui Rong had already entered the room.The princess sat on the bed wiping her tears, while Han Mu looked depressed and troubled.Shui Rong wondered why the mother and daughter fell out again?

Mother Han said a blessing, Shui Rong hurriedly supported her, and laughed along with her: "When will Mrs. Mother-in-law come, I don't ask someone to bring a word in advance, so that I can send someone to pick it up."

Mother Han smiled and said, "It's not far to go back and forth, so there's no need for someone to pick you up."

Seeing Shui Rong, the princess naturally didn't have a good face, and lay face down to doze off.Shui Rong took a look, then asked Han's mother to talk elsewhere, so that the concubine could rest well.

Shui Rong personally brought tea to Mother Han, and Mother Han panicked and caught it with both hands, and said with a smile, "My lord is an old man, I don't want to refuse any girl, how dare I bother my lord."

Shui Rong smiled a little, and said humbly: "Mother-in-law is an elder, you can't mess up the etiquette." Then he greeted his father-in-law Han Xu.

Mother Han nodded, she had nothing to be picky about this son-in-law, but when she thought of her daughter, she suddenly felt a little guilty, she paused and said, "Pingping is too stubborn, even my mother can't persuade her. My lord, you have bothered me a lot. It might be doomed for her to have such an illness. Thinking that our lord met a miraculous doctor. People from Shiting and Bating said that the man’s medical skills were excellent, and he happened to be still in Beijing. Please come and show it to the concubine. But this girl is not willing. The prince should persuade her, if this continues, how can our family be worthy of the palace. "

Shui Rong frowned slightly, thinking that the concubine's illness was more than that, how could it be so serious, because she smiled and said: "Don't worry, my mother-in-law, the concubine is not that serious, the imperial doctors at home said resting is good. But The spirit is a little weaker, the medicine from the imperial doctor here is very useful for her, so there is no need to bother with any other doctor."

Mother Han blamed herself: "It's the same thing. I've been married for so long, and I don't have a man and a woman, and I have no one to rely on when I'm old. Isn't it a sin? I worry about this day and night. The prince also blames it for this matter." Let's go girl, let the genius doctor show it, maybe it can be cured."

Shui Rong thought that the things between him and the concubine could not be brought out. The concubine's heart disease was afraid that even the best medicine in the world would be of no help. After pondering for a while, he said: "Mr. Let’s take care of it well, there’s no rush at this moment.”

Mother Han said: "I'm old, and I shouldn't take care of the family affairs of your palace. What if it can't be cured? I still want to hug my grandson. The princess is still angry with me because of this matter. I don't know why. Well, this girl is like a different person after getting married. The prince should persuade her well."

Shui Rong hurriedly agreed, and stayed with Han's mother for dinner.But Han's mother said that she was busy at home and couldn't leave, so she hurried back.

Shui Rong paced back and forth in the room by himself, looking a little upset.After waiting for a long time, I finally got Meng Yilai to reply: "My lord, the matter has a clue."

Shui Rong was overjoyed, thinking that these days were finally not in vain, he eagerly waited for the moment when the answer would be revealed.

Meng Yi was so busy that his mouth was dry, so he sat down and drank half a cup of tea first.Shui Rong said in front of him: "Don't worry, just speak slowly."

Meng Yi hurriedly said: "Fortunately, the prince reminded me this time, I have obtained a lot of information from the second uncle. It's just that there are some details, I'm afraid that the second uncle will come to explain it in person."

The only thing Shui Rong cares about is whether he accidentally killed that person, or killed him indirectly: "Did the person surnamed Shi really die unexpectedly? Why haven't I even heard of this name before?"

Meng Yi hurriedly said: "This matter is a bit complicated, but I think the lord and he should not have any connection. I heard that Shi Jian was the first to sell horses. Later, it was said that he had some talents. He was spotted by Mr. Bo Han of Jinxiang and became a student. It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, he died in his early twenties. I also asked many people privately, but they didn't know how Shi Jian died. The prince also thinks it's strange."

The water-soluble material must have nothing to do with him, but why the princess is so sure that she killed him, Shui Rong feels unclear.He thought to himself that there must be some kind of misunderstanding, which made the concubine and him have such a deep grudge, and this was a problem he was eager to solve later.

Shui Rong walked around the room with his hands behind his back, frowning tightly, and then sighed: "It seems that we have to figure out the whole thing. This false name is in vain, there must be an explanation, and the knot in her heart is also to open."

Meng Yi was quite distressed: "My lord, it took all my efforts to find out these things. But I heard that this person surnamed Shi has some friendship with the second uncle, why don't the lord ask the second uncle, Shouldn't be bad."

Shui Rong recalled Han Qi's reaction when he talked about it with Han Qi last time.At the beginning, my heart was full of doubts, after thinking about it, and it was related to his sister's illness, I thought I could only ask him.So he nodded and said: "I know how to do this, thank you for your hard work."

Meng Yi felt that he hadn't done what he had to explain, so he was a little apologetic: "My lord, I'm not good at doing things, so I have to worry about my lord."

Shui Rong shook his head, and gave a sad smile: "Okay, there's nothing else, you can go and do your own thing."

Meng Yi stood up and saluted before retreating.

After thinking about it, Shui Rong sent someone to find Han Qi.Later Shun'er came back and said: "If you go back to the prince, the second uncle has something to do and can't leave, so he won't be free until the afternoon."

Shui Rong waved his hands, and sat alone in the study.Not long after, word came out from the palace that he was asked to enter the palace. Naturally, Shui Rong didn't dare to delay, so he hurriedly changed into the court clothes, and gave a lot of instructions to the maids before riding away.

The concubine finally woke up after sleeping for nearly half an hour, her mother had already gone back, and Shui Rong was not in front of her.It was very quiet inside and out.Cui Zhu and Cui Lian are sitting at the table and taking a nap.The princess propped up her slightly weak body, and looked at the room blankly. After living in it for so many years, every furnishings in the room had been deeply reflected in her mind.It's just that when he saw that the place where the embroidered screen was originally placed on the shelf was empty, his heart also felt empty.

She called out: "Cui Zhu, go and get my horse."

Cuizhu heard the voice, woke up from sleepiness in a hurry, wiped her eyes, and hurriedly walked up to her: "What's your order?"

The princess pointed to the official leather box and said, "Bring my horse."

Cuizhu wondered why she wanted to see this all of a sudden, so she hurriedly looked for it.It was brought soon, the princess took it, opened it, and fortunately they knew how to cook, after what happened last time, there was no damage, but there were some faint blood stains that hadn't been washed off, and the color was a little faded.

Wang Fei looked it over carefully, and felt that it was a pity to leave it in vain, so she said to Cuizhu: "You take it and ask someone to make a frame for it to be framed."

Cuizhu replied: "Okay, I'll ask someone to get it right now."

It was extremely easy to do this, but I didn't expect it to be ready before dusk. The style is similar to before, and it is also equipped with glass. From a distance, it looks the same as before.The concubine stared at the horse in a daze as she fell into reminiscence of the past. At that time, she was still a daughter raised in a boudoir, and after a quick glance with him, the fate was already doomed.Reluctantly, there is only one sentence: "The relationship is always shallow, but the love is deep."

In the past few years of her marriage, she has tortured Shui Rong in every possible way, because it was Shui Rong who killed all of this, but how has she ever spent a day in a relaxed and happy way?The concubine couldn't help thinking that she shouldn't have stepped into this threshold at the beginning, and when she heard the news of his death, she should have followed him. In the end, because of the family's reputation, she had to bear the humiliation and acted like him unwillingly. wife.The princess wondered if she would spend her whole life in resentment?What exactly does she want.

Feiyu brought over two volumes of scriptures that Daiyu had already copied. The princess opened them and saw that the handwriting was really beautiful, so she gave Daiyu a box of snacks.

At dusk, Dunhui came back from the palace and came to visit her sister-in-law as usual: "How are you doing today?"

The princess smiled and said: "Okay, Princess Lao is thinking about it. You must be tired all day."

The princess thumped her knees and said, "My knees are numb too. I almost couldn't stand up. Hey, when will the queen mother's affairs be over?"

The princess said: "How do you talk, what do you mean endless? The rules and etiquette are like this. If I can't move, I will go with you. I have nothing to worry about here. You can go back and rest."

Dun Hui felt that her body was about to fall apart, and she didn't want to stay any longer: "Well, I'll go see Sister Lin again, I haven't seen her for a whole day." After saying that, she went out, and when she came to the porch, she saw Han Qi coming.

Dun Hui stood there, waiting for Han Qi to come to her.Han Qi saluted Dunhui first and said, "Princess please be safe."

"Ann, come to see my sister-in-law again?" Dun Hui looked tired.

"Yes, I wonder if sister is better?"

Dun Hui pursed her lips and smiled: "Go. I won't accompany Brother Han when I have something to do." She walked away with her maid, and after walking a few steps, she turned around and smiled at Han Qi: "Thank you for giving me the things, I am very happy like."

Han Qi nodded: "As long as the princess likes it, Han Qi should pay for it."

Dun Hui covered her face with a smile, and walked away without looking back.

Wu Hua came out and said, "Second Master, Wangfei invites Second Master to enter."

The maid had already raised the curtain, and Han Qi bent over to enter.I saw his sister sitting on a carved lacquered official hat chair, with a calm expression on her face.

Han Qi laughed along: "Sister, I'm here."

The princess pointed to a rosewood armchair with a hibiscus embroidered cushion on the opposite side and said, "Sit down."

Cui Zhu brought tea.

The princess lowered her eyes and said, "Madam asked you to persuade me. You don't need to say anything. Just take care of yourself."

Han Qi was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "Sister, I made a mistake. My brother-in-law sent a message to ask me to come over, saying that I have something to ask. Don't you know, Sister?"

The concubine wondered how he knew about Shui Rong, of course she didn't bother to know, she silently counted a string of rosary beads with an indifferent face, and closed her eyes slightly, wondering if her heart was also at peace.

Han Qi was concerned: "Sister, are you better?"

The princess nodded.

Han Qi took a look around this elegant and simple room, but there was nothing special about it. Under the window was a large ebony hunchback table with a tea whisk and a small jade screen.

I also saw a multi-baoge ten brocade box standing under the east wall, on which there were many exquisite lintel utensils.Han Qi's gaze was attracted by an embroidered portrait of a galloping horse, and he wondered where he had seen such a thing before.The horse above is really vivid. He looked at it for a while, and for some reason, a name suddenly appeared in his mind, although it was a bit vague.

Han Qi looked again, feeling that there was something else missing in the room.Glancing at the pillows on the bed, they were not placed side by side, and there was only one set of bedding. His brother-in-law's utensils, even a piece of clothing, seemed invisible.Han Qi felt full of doubts, and saw that his sister was devoted to the Buddha, and she was completely different from when she was at home. He couldn't help it anymore, and asked in a low voice: "Sister, there is something that I want to ask, please tell me directly." explain."

The princess did not open her eyes, her tone was very cold: "Speak."

"Is my brother-in-law treating my sister badly?"

The princess continued to count her rosary beads without a single pause, nor did she answer Han Qi's words.

Han Qi frowned slightly, and he hurriedly asked: "Why, brother-in-law, he shouldn't treat sister like this. What's wrong with sister? Is he treating sister like this?"

The princess's tone was still a bit cold: "Stop talking, since the prince invited you here. Go up and wait for him, don't disturb me."

Han Qi got up slowly: "Brother-in-law is a sweetheart, he treats me very kindly, it is impossible to neglect sister for no reason. Sister, is it because of that?" Han Qi pointed to the pair that was delivered not long ago. On the embroidered screen, the galloping horses on it are lifelike, with both form and spirit.

A slight surprise appeared on Wang Hao's face: "Brother Qi, what are you talking about?"

Han Qi sneered: "Sister still keeps his things, don't you know he's gone?"

The princess had no idea that Han Qi would know about this, she put away her rosary, her eyes widened: "What did you say?"

Han Qi said slightly angrily: "No wonder brother-in-law doesn't get close to Sister, it's because of this. Sister, I've seen this portrait before, it's hanging in his room, it's exactly the same, it's drawn by him himself. It's only so Only those who love horses can paint with such charm. Sister, you can fool others, but you can't fool me. It's been many years, and you for him..." Han Qi's breathing seemed a little short, his face flushed, and his throat Suddenly hoarse, he shouted: "It's not worth it, not worth it at all."

Wang Hao's face suddenly changed, she stood up on the chair, and said sharply: "You go out. You have no right to say these things, don't say any more, you go."

Han Qi cried out in pain: "My poor sister, don't you understand now? It's not worth it, he's not worth what you've done for him."

The concubine turned around slowly, she didn't want to look at Han Qi, her body looked weak and weak, she felt that the whole room was shaking, and scenes of the past appeared in front of her eyes.Looking back, it turned out that it was the separation of souls and dreams. It was all the fault of someone else, and it was all dried by water. The princess only felt a pain in her heart, and was full of hatred for that man, but she could do nothing to him, and laughed out loud twice. : "Get out, get out, get out!"
