The Rebirth of Han Yuxi - Chapter 1839
[Chapter 1839 Qi Rui’s Extra Story (8)]
When the sun shines through the mist on the ground, the hot day begins again.
Sitting on the carriage, Gao Haiqiong muttered while wiping his sweat, “It’s time to go out earlier.” When he arrived at the Ci’en Temple, he was afraid that it would be noon. At noon in August, people can be roasted.
Caichun smiled and said, “It will be hotter on the official road now, but it won’t be hot when you go up the mountain.” There are many trees on both sides of the mountain road, and the mountain is cooler than the city.
That being said, going up the mountain with such a big sun is not an easy task.
At the beginning of noon, the group arrived at Ci’en Temple. When they arrived at the main hall, they worshiped the Lord Buddha and Guanyin and other bodhisattvas. Gao Haiqiong followed the abbot to a small courtyard.
There is a tall linden tree in this yard, and the luxuriant branches and leaves cover the whole yard. As soon as I walked in, it was very cool.
Gao Haiqiong leaned on the chair and didn’t want to move.
Soon, the monks in the monastery brought the vegetarian food. At home on weekdays, she is always full. But the vegetarian dishes brought by Ci’en Temple this time were very delicious, but Gao Haiqiong ate a little too much without noticing.
“Go to the back mountain for a walk.” The scenery of the back mountain is still very good. You can eat while enjoying the view.
In the back mountain, Gao Haiqiong met Mu Yingying who also came to Ci’en Temple to offer incense.
Gao Haiqiong looked at Mu Yingying carefully, up and down, left and right, and then Gao Haiqiong said in a very disdainful tone: “She looks pretty good, no wonder she hooks up with men everywhere.”
Ji Lan’s face turned blue with anger when she heard this. However, considering Gao Haiqiong’s identity, Jilan dared not speak out.
Mu Yingying said to Jilan, “Didn’t you just say that you lost your hairpin by the spring? Now go look for it.”
Jilan was reluctant to go, but under Mu Yingying’s sharp eyes, she had to go.
Gao Haiqiong admired Mu Yingying a little and said, “Aren’t you afraid that I will be bad for you?”
Mu Yingying looked very calm and said, “I believe that the princess will not kill me.”
Gao Haiqiong was a little surprised: “Are you so sure that I won’t kill you?”
“Although the princess hates me, she’s not at the level of murder.” After a pause, Mu Yingying said: “Furthermore, the second lady of the Li family committed suicide, and Mrs. Li died unexpectedly. If you really kill me, even the empress dowager won’t protect you anymore. I believe, princess, you won’t do such a stupid thing.”
When she said this, Mu Yingying looked very calm.
If Mu Yingying succeeded in seducing Qi Rui, she might be tempted to kill. This time, but no idea.
Gao Haiqiong praised: “You are very smart. It’s just that I don’t understand that you are so beautiful and smart, why can’t you marry a good family? Why do you want to be my prince’s concubine?” very low status. Although King Xuan has many concubines, the positions of the two side concubines have been vacant until now. In addition to Dai Yanxin, the principal member of Prince Xuan’s residence, the highest-ranking wife is also his wife. Even if these two ladies had children for King Xuan, they were not qualified to enter the palace to see the queen mother.
Mu Yingying heard this and said, “If the princess has time, I can tell you a story.”
Gao Haiqiong is idle, and is interested in listening to Mu Yingying’s story when she has time.
Mu Yingying told the story of her father, Mu Changqiu, and her mother, Mrs. Liao: “The Mu family was so poor at that time that they ate sweet potatoes and potatoes every day, and one day there was a bowl of egg drop soup on the dinner table, which was considered rich. But my father After getting engaged with my mother, they see some meaty food on their dining table every month.”
From the words alone, Gao Haiqiong could feel that Mu Yingying hated the people of the Mu family.
“Before my father was admitted as a scholar, my grandfather paid all the money for his studies. After he was admitted as a scholar, my grandfather’s foundation was basically empty, and he was powerless to continue funding. But at that time, my father got the county school. Appreciated by the chief of the mountain, I went to the county school to study.” With the appreciation of the chief of the mountain, I could study even without money.
In fact, even without the mountain chief’s appreciation, Mu Changqiu was born with money every month. In addition, with fame, you can teach and receive bundles of repairs. As long as there is perseverance, it will eventually come out.
Gao Haiqiong asked, “Your grandfather, is your mother the only daughter?”
Mu Yingying shook her head and said, “My grandfather has a son and a daughter, and my uncle is three years younger than my mother.”
“Then what?”
Mu Yingying said: “After my father was elected to the Juren, my grandmother turned her face and wanted to quit the relationship. At that time, my grandfather felt that the Mu family’s people would become unreliable when they were developed, and he did not want my mother to marry into the Mu family. But my mother did not want to. , forced to die. My grandfather couldn’t do anything, so he didn’t agree to quit. When I was a child, I often heard my grandmother say that my mother was a butcher’s daughter, and she was the one who married my father. ”
Gao Haiqiong was stunned: “How can you say this? If it wasn’t for your grandfather, how could your father study?”
Mu Yingying smiled, and the smile was very sarcastic: “When I was a child, my grandmother often said that my grandfather took advantage of the danger and calculated my father, otherwise my father would be able to marry the lady of the official family. According to my grandmother’s advice It means that my grandfather should study for my father for free. This is the real good person.”
I have seen shameless, I have never seen such shameless. Gao Haiqiong said, “Who wants to give money to someone who has nothing to do with studying? Can’t it be done when the money comes from the wind?” There is no such thing as a pie in the sky. Students also want to wait for their success to be rewarded.
After speaking, Gao Haiqiong asked, “Then what did your father think?” The key was Mu Changqiu’s attitude.
Hearing Mu Changqiu’s three words, the expression on Mu Yingying’s face became cold: “I knew that my grandmother made trouble for my mother, but she never said a word for my mother. After he passed the examination and was awarded an official position, he wanted my mother He stayed in the country to serve my grandfather and grandmother, and he and Li lived happily outside. My mother has been married to her for nearly 20 years, and she has never left her hometown.”
After a pause, Mu Yingying continued: “When I was twelve years old, he was sent to Shengjing, and he sent someone to pick me up. My elder brother Xinting was killed by my grandmother’s ignorance. Don’t worry, keep your younger brother Xinrui in his hometown, and insist on bringing him to Shengjing.”
As a parent, the affection for the first child is particularly deep. Moreover, Mu Yingying was very smart. After she went to the women’s school to read and write, she would write a letter to Mu Changqiu every month. After a long time, Mu Changqiu also missed this daughter. Of course, it was also because Mu Yingying was beautiful and smart that he paid attention. If not, I don’t know where to go.
Gao Haiqiong said, “Are you relieved to leave your mother alone in your hometown?”
“Why don’t you worry? If you want to listen to her, I can only live in my hometown in the countryside for the rest of my life.” After speaking, Mu Yingying looked at Gao Haiqiong and said with a smile: “When I was six years old, I was going to study at a women’s school. My grandmother Disagreeing, she beat me to force me to compromise. That time, I lay in bed for three days.”
There is still such a mother in this world.
“When I arrived in Shengjing, I found that the servants of the Liao Mansion only knew about the Li family, and didn’t even know that there was my mother, the main wife, and the existence of our sister and brother. When I first arrived at the Liao Mansion, my concubine Xue Li thought we were the hometown. The poor relatives who came to beat Qiufeng taunted our sister and brother.” When she said this, Mu Yingying laughed. That smile, without the slightest warmth.
Gao Haiqiong looked at Mu Yingying without speaking. It would be sad for anyone to encounter this.
Mu Yingying continued: “Later, I made a trick to let outsiders know that Mrs. Li and Mu Xueli bullied our sister and brother.” Female, it will definitely affect Mu Changqiu’s career. So after this incident, Mu Changqiu let Mu Yingying manage the general affairs of the Mu residence.
Thinking of what Yang Qi said, Gao Haiqiong asked me, “Is it the eldest young master of the Yang family who saw Mu Xueli bullying your siblings?”
“Yes. I just wanted him to be a witness at the time, but I didn’t expect that he would want to marry me because of this. I know that the eldest young master of the Yang family was going on a hunger strike to marry me, so he begged my father not to agree to this marriage. But In order to curry favor with the Yang family, my father agreed to this marriage.”
Gao Haiqiong was very surprised: “The eldest young master of the Yang family treats you like this, why don’t you agree?”
Mu Yingying said disdainfully: “You want to marry me because I am pitiful. Do you think such a man can be trusted? There are many poorer women than me in this world. Do you want to marry me in the future? But my father disregards my wishes. , agreed to this marriage, and the result was indeed as I expected.”
“What happened at Prajna Temple?”
Mu Yingying said: “The person is gone, and there is no need to say the specifics. However, I asked him to meet at the Prajna Temple that day, and I told him about withdrawing from the family. He did not agree to withdraw from the family, and said that I had no sympathy. Heart. We broke up unhappily, and after we went back, he couldn’t afford to be sick. After he passed away, I felt very guilty, so I said I would stay for him for three years. But I didn’t expect that the Yang family would let me marry and live as a widow. .”
Gao Haiqiong asked, “In order to get rid of the Yang family, you targeted my prince?”
At this meeting, Mu Yingying did not hide it: “I went to see the lanterns during the Lantern Festival, and when I saw that the prince gave priority to the princess in everything, I was envious. After the Lantern Festival, my father took another beautiful concubine, and the prince was very fond of the princess. Shen Yizhong has been the only princess for these years, and I have moved my mind that I shouldn’t.”
Gao Haiqiong couldn’t believe what she heard: “You mean you wanted to take him away from me because you saw that my prince was kind to me?”
Mu Yingying nodded in recognition.
Gao Haiqiong asked back, “Don’t you think you’re very rude?” She felt that Mu Yingying was more disgusting than those women who wanted to cling to Qi Rui for the sake of prosperity.
Mu Yingying did not deny it, she said with a smile: “It turns out that a real good man cannot be seduced by others.”
Seeing her smiling face, Gao Haiqiong was a little confused: “Why do you seem to be still happy?” Normally, it should be out of anger or anger, or even ashamed to meet people. Why is Mu Yingying’s attitude so strange.
Mu Yingying smiled and said, “I’m very happy. Because Prince Rui made me believe that there are men in this world who are not seduced by beauty. I really envy you, princess.” She didn’t die. To be precise, this Many women in the world do not have such a good life.
Gao Haiqiong could feel that Mu Yingying said this from the bottom of her heart, and she couldn’t say anything cruel.
