The Rebirth of an Ill-Fated Consort - 111. slander

Canaan Mountain does not cover snow all year round, the mountains are high and the valleys are deep, it is already summer, and still a piece of ice and snow has just begun to melt. The stream of mountain stream mixed with crushed ice flows slowly, scouring the brightly colored pebbles on both sides of the bank. The pine forest was covered with bright ice crystals, and at a glance, it looked like the scenery of the Northland.

Xiao Shao walked through the plum blossom array at the foot of the mountain to Lvyang Villa on the top of the mountain.

The plum blossom formation is a formation made by Mr. Baqi himself. There are eight rings in total, spreading from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, and no one can break the formation except for my disciples. Xiao Shao has been here many times, but he is very familiar with the road. Fang entered the gate outside Luyang Villa, and the big green-haired parrot raised at the door started flapping its wings and shouting: “Someone is coming! Someone is coming!”

Unlike the scenery on the Canaan Mountain, Lvyang Villa is full of birds and flowers, and the flowers bloom in full bloom, really like early spring. Xiao Shao walked towards the villa, the huge villa was ingeniously and wonderfully repaired, but there was no one. In a moment, a deep voice came from the yard: “A Shao?”

The sound was as melodious as Hong Zhong, close to my ear, and when I listened carefully, it seemed to be coming from a long distance, misty and unclear. Xiao Shao walked towards the courtyard. Under the pear tree, an old man with a white beard in a gray shirt was sitting at the chess table, holding a box of chess pieces in his hand.

“Master.” Xiao Shao walked towards him.

This gray-clothed old man is Mr. Baqi, now in his ancient years, he is born like a fairy, but his eyes are shrewd and wise. Without raising his head, he concentrated on studying the chess game in front of him, and said, “Come back from southern Xinjiang?”

“Yes.” Xiao Shao said. After returning from Nanjiang, he was busy dealing with various things on weekdays. Mr. Baqi was still in retreat. It was only a few days before he took the opportunity to go to Mount Canaan. It happened that Mr. Baqi should also leave.

Mr. Baqi put down the chess piece box in his hand and finally raised his head. Mr. Baqi accepted a total of eight disciples, and Xiao Shao ranked third. When Xiao Shao went up the mountain, he was just a silent boy who didn’t like to talk. Together with Guan Lianghan, Guan Lianghan learned marching and Xiao Shao learned the art of Qi Huang. However, within a few years, the old couple and King Jinying had an accident. Xiao Shao became more deserted and took the initiative to ask Mr. Baqi instead of learning medical skills. From then on, he only learned to kill.

Xiao Shao was extremely talented, he was originally the material for martial arts training, and it was easier for him to kill. In the first year of going down the mountain after finishing school, he went to southern Xinjiang alone and cut down the head of the then leader of southern Xinjiang. He was cold-tempered and courageous. There is no person in the world who is more suitable to be a killer than Xiao Shao, but Mr. Baqi only said at the time: “A Shao, you are not the number one killer in the world.” Xiao Shao asked, “Why?”

Mr. Baqi replied: “Your blood is not cold enough.”

Xiao Shao is the most affectionate person, and Mr. Baqi can understand that at the beginning of the eight brothers in the same discipline, Xiao Shao would take care of the brothers most of the time, although he was cold on weekdays. The righteous cannot be a killer. Xiao Shao is not a perfect killer.

Mr. Baqi looked at Xiao Shao for a while, and suddenly asked, “A Shao, have you met any special person in the past few years?”

When Xiao Shao left Beijing three years ago, Mr. Baqi was still in retreat, so he never said farewell to him. Speaking of which, the two masters and apprentices have actually not seen him for three years.

Xiao Shao thought for a while: “No.”

“Think about it.” Mr. Baqi asked again.

Xiao Shao frowned slightly. There is no word “special” in his life. He has encountered countless people in the past three years. Naturally, he doesn’t know what Mr. Baqi means?

“Master, what do you want to say?” Xiao Shao asked.

Mr. Baqi stroked the long white beard on his chin, and said, “Before the retreat for the teacher three years ago, the person who had calculated for you and changed your fate should have already appeared.”

“Who?” Xiao Shao asked.

“This person is here for revenge, and for gratitude, life and death, life and death. She can see all kinds of activities in this world, and her destiny changes because of her, and she doesn’t know whether it is a blessing or a curse to be a teacher.”

Xiao Shao was silent. Mr. Baqi’s remarks were too vague to understand anything from it. He thought for a while before he said: “What does this have to do with me?”

Mr. Baqi’s expression is slightly constricted: “She is entangled with your life, the origin and the demise, and the cause and effect. Because of her appearance, you will get rid of the fate of Gu Sha in this life. However, the fate will become the king and general, Zi Weixing falls. You are ruining the emperor’s life for her.”

If this is spread out, you have to lose your head. However, Luyang Villa was empty, Mr. Baqi said leisurely, Xiao Shao listened openly.

“I understand.” Xiao Shao replied. The emperor’s order is unnecessary for him, he has never looked at that position directly, so his expression hasn’t changed a bit after Mr. Baqi finished talking.

Mr. Baqi sighed: “She has already appeared.”

Xiao Shao frowned slightly. However, Mr. Baqi never said too clearly about the hexagrams, the so-called secrets cannot be revealed, and if too many secrets are leaked, retribution will inevitably be met.

Mr. Baqi said: “Finally, the hexagram shows up. As a teacher, she still has a relationship with her. One day, as a teacher, she will be able to see her. At that time, this person will have a causal cycle in his previous life.” He After a pause, it seemed that there was still something to say, but finally he swallowed it. Just looking at Xiao Shao said, “Southern Xinjiang Gu Poison is fierce, can you get the shot?”

“Unexpectedly,” Xiao Shao said, “Master’s antidote is still there.” Xiao Shao said this, with a slight feeling of gratitude for Mr. Baqi in his heart. At the beginning, he focused on learning to kill Dao, and wanted to discard the original Qi Huang technique. It was Mr. Baqi who refused personally and taught him not to delay. Since ancient times, there has been no killer to study medicine, and it is unheard of to save people while killing. Now it seems that his mission is dangerous, and what he does on weekdays is to lick blood. He has more medical skills, and walking these years has provided a lot of convenience in vain.

Mr. Baqi smiled and said: “It’s still early, since you are here, let’s play a game with your teacher.” After saying that, he gently waved his sleeves, and all the chess pieces on the chessboard flew into the chess box, very neatly. Do not fall.

Mr. Baqi held a white son, Xiao Shao held a black son, and the two settled at the same time.

“I warned you as a teacher to seize the opportunity.” Mr. Baqi’s voice came from a distance.

In the summer afternoon, the sound of cicadas screamed. It was too noisy for people to rest and rest. Several third-class maids climbed to the tree in the yard and stuck the cicadas. After Jiang Ruanfang had iced sherbet for one night, he heard the dewdrops. Said: “Girl, Master Xiahou and the eighth prince are coming to the mansion, and the master is asking you to go over and talk to the family members.”

Xia Cheng has never been to Jiang’s Mansion since the incident in the ancestral hall, and Xia Jun’s incident is a thorn in Xia’s heart. Jiang Ruan left Beijing for three years. Hearing what Dewdrop said, several grandma who wanted to come to the Xia’s family came as well. Xia Jiaojiao and Xia Jun hated Jiang Ruanru in their eyes. At this time, they stepped into Jiang’s mansion again. The Jiang family’s relationship has eased.

Luzhu anxiously said: “Master, what do you mean? My own lady who is talking outside, what can the girl do? So can the Xia family have a good relationship?”

Jiang Ruan shook his head: “Maybe, Tian Zhu, how was the doctor a few days ago?”

“Xia Yan sent someone to chase and kill, and was rescued by his subordinates. Now he is locked in a barn in the subordinate’s yard. Does the girl want to use it?”

“Preparing,” Jiang Ruan stood up: “Today she has found the Xia family. It just so happened that I have been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.”

In the main hall, Jiang Quanzheng and Xuanli Xiacheng have spoken. In the past few years, Xuanli has been diligent and conscientious, has outstanding political achievements, and is used to being a man on weekdays. In the past few years, the emperor who was angry about Li Ang gradually changed his view. In addition, Chen Guiren became more and more favored. In recent years, the five princes have gradually fallen behind, and the voice of Xuan Li has gradually increased. . The crown prince made many mistakes, and the abolition of the crown prince was about to be put into the charter, but it was sooner or later. The matter of changing the establishment of a prince has also become a major concern of current courtiers, and those who can occupy the team will occupy the team separately. Obviously, the Xia family and the Jiang family are naturally in the group of the Eight Princes.

Xuanli smiled gracefully, humble and full of ambition in the conversation, Xia Cheng and Jiang Quan felt that their choice was right the more they looked. Xuanli has talents in the world, and was like the master of the underworld at that time.

On the other side, Xia Yan was speaking with Xia’s grandmother Shen Rou. Shen Rou looked at Xia Yan’s belly and smiled: “Auntie’s belly is getting more pregnant. When I was pregnant with Jiaojiao, it was not so big. It is not allowed to be twins.”

Xia Yan’s face became stiff, and she gave a bitter smile in her heart. The twins, her children were already dead, so how come the twins only said that as long as they thought about the miscarriage that night, Xia Yan would want to tear Hongying and Jiang Ruan apart. Shattered. Although I don’t know how the two silks were exchanged, it is certain that it must be the hands and feet of these two people. Xia Yan’s eyes flashed slightly, laugh, let them laugh, and make them cry even later.

Although Shen Rou is a woman who has given birth to a child, she looks more and more beautiful and plump, with a little bit of a young woman’s style. In this way, Xia Yan, who had just given birth, had a sallow face, as if he was ten years old overnight.

Shen Rou looked at Xia Yan, and she was also very suspicious. Xia Yan should be doing well in Jiang’s Mansion now, how could she seem so haggard. Where is the original elegant and indifferent appearance of a talented woman, and then think about the rumors that Jiang Quan’s aunt who was born in Fuzhong brothel, which I have heard, is clear in my heart. I don’t think I have the ability to hold my own man’s heart. Shen Rou has never been able to see Xia Yanqing’s grand and generous appearance. Seeing it right now, she said a few words of comfort on the surface, but she was gloating in her heart.

The girl on the other side suddenly said, “Why haven’t Jiang Ruan yet, is it possible that this is the Jiang family’s hospitality?” The girl was dressed in a light purple moire crepe gown and a smoky butterfly skirt. The birth of Huarongyue was very charming, but it was a bit irritable in her words. It was Xia Jiaojiao, Shen Rou’s biological daughter, who came out of the Xia family’s big room.

“This princess has never received a post from his wife before, nor has he heard of coming to accompany him. I never knew that a guest is coming, how can I treat each other?” The voice sounded from the door, and several people in the room looked up. I saw Jiang Ruan money coming.

Xia Jiaojiao bit her lower lip tightly, her eyes fixed on Jiang Ruan. Jiang Ruan wears a simple Su embroidered Yuehua brocade shirt, her skin is snowy, her lips are red and her teeth are white, and her eyes are amazing. Xia Jiaojiao had a seven-point appearance, but under Jiang Ruan’s comparison, there was only less than 10% left. Xia Jiaojiao was very angry, and what made people even more angry was the mockery in Jiang Ruan’s words. Isn’t it? They came to one and never made a post, and they never said that they wanted Jiang Ruan to accompany them.

“Ruan’er, you are here. Jiaojiao has wanted to see you for a long time.” Xia Yan smiled and turned the topic off, still muttering in her heart. After thinking about some reasons, never thought that none of these reasons would be useful, so Jiang Ruan readily agreed to come. But this is also just right to facilitate her next move.

Xia Jiaojiao curled her lips and didn’t care much about Xia Yan’s words. Shen Rou was also carefully looking at Jiang Ruan. When Jiang Ruan came to Xia Mansion, she only regarded Jiang Ruan as an orphan, but that’s it. Looking at the good girl, Xia Jun was at a loss. Now it has changed even more, becoming the current princess. In the past three years, I heard that she was quite popular with the queen mother, and she should have rewarded a lot of silver if she wanted to. Shen Rou made the calculations in her heart, and Xia Cheng deliberately told Jiang Ruan to Xia Jun. Xia Jun was so stubborn about what happened at the beginning. Over the years, he vowed to marry Jiang Ruan tortured. Secondly, who would marry the forces behind Jiang Ruan? Whoever goes is a big help, not to mention that there may be a lot of money.

However, Shen Rou had never dealt with Yu Ya, the second grandmother of the Xia family, and the relationship between her concubines was extremely poor. Naturally, he didn’t want Xia Jun to have a good life, and Shen Rou thought about it. Instead of making Xia Jun cheaper, it would be cheaper than his own brother. There is also a nephew in Shen Rou’s family, who is now at the right age to marry Jiang Ruan.

Shen Rou had a good calculation for herself, and she looked strangely enthusiastic when she looked at Jiang Ruan. Tian Zhu frowned, Jiang Ruan smiled slightly: “This is Mrs. Xia.”

“Exactly. Ruan Er, I didn’t expect you to be this old in a blink of an eye.” Shen Rou said warmly.

“Bold! I didn’t pay respect when I saw the princess!” Tian Zhu snorted with a cold face, shocking Shen Rou.

Jiang Ruan said gently: “It’s okay. Mrs. Xia had a relationship with me. I was too excited to forget about it. It’s fine.”

This answer made Shen Rou’s face red and white, and white and red. When Jiang Ruan was in the ancestral hall, everyone could see clearly, but now the old thing is brought up again, but it was the Xia family in the face.

Xia Yan couldn’t hold her face, and Xia Jiaojiao burst her lungs with anger. However, remembering the instructions of her grandfather before leaving, she could bear it again.

Xia Yan suddenly bent down, covered her mouth with a veil and retched twice. Lin Lang hurriedly came over and patted Xia Yan’s back gently, and said, “Madam, is she uncomfortable again?”

Xia Yan shook her head: “Perhaps the room is too boring, and her chest is a little blocked.” She smiled: “Jiaojiao, sister-in-law, Ruan Er, why don’t we go around in the garden, the air outside is fresh.”

Jiang Ruan looked out the window. It was a very hot day and there was no cloud in the sky. At this time, he was really not afraid of getting hot rash when he went out. However, she smiled and said: “Okay, just right, I also want to go for a walk in the garden.”

Shen Ronghua and Xia Jiaojiao are the guests, so naturally they will not refuse. The three of them got up together and walked towards the Xiayan Garden. In all fairness, although it was hot outside, Xia Yan didn’t dare to use ice because she was pregnant, so she had to make a fuss in the yard. The courtyard was clean and tidy. Someone sprinkled the slate with cold water from the well every half an hour, and it was cool with the shade of the bushes. It is indeed much more ventilated than the room.

A few people walked around, then walked to the pavilion beside the small pond in the yard. That pavilion is Xia Yan’s most proud handwriting. Xia Yan was once known as a talented woman in Beijing. After entering Jiang’s mansion, he made the yard by himself. The pavilion is next to the small pond, taking the summer “lotus pond moonlight”. scene. The summer night is cool and breezy, the lotus leaves in the pond are verdant, the lotus is beautiful, the moonlight is like water, and the scenery is extremely elegant. After the pavilion was repaired, Jiang Quan loved it very much. Often at night and Xia Yan had a drink in the pavilion, serving a group of loving couples.

Jiang Ruan sneered silently in his heart. This place was the place where Jiang Quan and Xia Yan’s affection lingered, but it was also Zhao Mei’s sad place at the beginning. When Jiang Xinzhi was young, there was a smallpox. Zhao Mei kept his clothes on Jiang Xinzhi for days and nights. After Jiang Xinzhi woke up and asked where his father was, Zhao Mei felt sad, but he found Jiang Quan with Xia Yan. Drinking and having fun. At that time, she was still a child who didn’t understand anything, just watching Jiang Quan and Xia Yan laughing happily, she felt more and more that her mother’s tears were dazzling. Jiang Ruan looked at the pavilion, smiled slightly, and said: “The lotus leaf skirt is all cut, and the lotus flower opens to both sides of his face.”

When Zhao Mei took the young Jiang Ruan to Yanhuayuan, he heard Jiang Quan, who was proud of the spring breeze, said to the gentle and graceful Xia Yan. The tenderness and affection in his eyes was something they had never seen before. .

Xia Yan was startled and laughed: “Ruan Er, your father loves to chant these two poems the most.”

Shen Rou rolled her eyes and said with a smile: “If you want me to say, grandma can really enjoy it. Such a good place is hard to find in our house with lanterns.”

Xia Jiaojiao interrupted at the right time: “Of course, my aunt is the number one talented woman in Beijing before, and she is naturally incomparable to ordinary mountain women.” Xia Jiaojiao always thinks that Jiang Ruan was raised by Zhuangzi, and she was a child when she was a child. Raised by Zhao Mei, who is not able to understand poetry, he naturally does not understand writing. Jiang Ruan just didn’t hear it, and still smiled. Xia Jiaojiao became more annoyed when she saw it.

Xia Yan suddenly became a little sad: “Speaking of it, it has been more than ten years. When my sister was still there, she also praised the beauty of the pavilion. Ruan Er, now you are so big, and you are almost here to talk. My dear age, you grew up on Zhuangzi. I’m afraid that no one will teach you to behave. My mother is thinking about finding a parenting maid to be with you, okay?”

Jiang Ruan stared at her, and suddenly smiled: “What did the mother say? Isn’t the nanny next to the empress dowager a nanny?”

Xia Yan was taken aback for a moment, but he had never thought of this level. For a while, he was speechless. However, once I started, I had to continue, so I grabbed Jiang Ruan’s hand and gently persuaded: “Mother knows that you are a good and smart. But the nanny in the palace teaches you from the palace. You will also marry someone in the future, so naturally you have to learn the rules of being a wife.”

Jiang Ruan looked at her with a faint smile, Xia Yan was a little flustered in her eyes when she saw it in those lightly smiling eyes. She widened her eyes suddenly and said loudly, “Ruan Er, what are you doing!”

Immediately afterwards, Xia Yan’s body slammed back, as if Jiang Ruan pushed her hard, just facing the steps of the pavilion, he heard a sound, and Xia Yan fell heavily. Under the ladder.

“Ah!” With a scream, Xia Yan’s lower body suddenly became red, and his clothes were soaked with blood.

“Jiang Ruan!” An angry and frightened voice came from the opposite side. Jiang Ruan raised his head and saw that Jiang Quan, Xia Cheng and Xuanli were standing opposite the pavilion. Jiang Quan’s eyes were vicious and angry, as if he was about to eat her.

Jiang Ruan stroked the bracelet on his hand, and the corners of his lips raised an inexplicable smile.

The tortoise stuck out his head.
