Chapter 73 Chapter Sixteen

A blue lightning-like brilliance flashed in Jianbi's eyes, and suddenly he knelt down again, wiped away his tears and said: "If the young master can be rescued, then Jianbi will die at this time, and there is no regret! Miss, You save him, you must save him!" I slowly lowered my eyelids, another burst of sourness came to my heart, and I said, "Jianbi, do you like Dongfang Qingyao?" Jianbi choked, a flustered smile flashed across his stiff face, and said: "Jianbi is a lowly person, how can he like you? But since you have accepted me, he is my husband, my God." , even if I die, I can't be shaken to my God!"

I swallowed my mouth full of bitterness, smiled and said: "I know." But Jianbi was out of his mind, took a breath in a daze, and suddenly said: "Miss, don't get me wrong. Jianbi is just wishful thinking. The young master actually doesn't like me, and he doesn't like the second young lady either. In the young master's heart, there has always been Only thinking about Miss. Marrying Second Miss is only because she is your sister; he accepts me, it is I...I seduced him. He often ignores Mrs., just wandering in your former house, many times Can drink, and then sleep there. Once I couldn't bear to see him in pain, I went up to comfort him, but he regarded me as you..."

"Stop talking!" I suddenly shouted loudly, and the long silver hairpin held tightly in my hand was thrown into my own cold face in the bronze mirror.The four fluttering butterflies immediately shattered, leaving only the individual wings scattered and falling. These pieces of broken wings, like my unbroken dreams, and the slightest wounds, were ruthlessly inserted into my heart. Jianbi was so stunned that she didn't even dare to choke up. Baima has never seen me, a person who is not special in the world, get angry, and she looked at me in a daze for a while, and didn't even dare to persuade me.

I took off my coat and said slowly, "I'm tired, you guys should go to bed early too." Jianbi came back to her senses and came to help me undress; Baima made the bed and helped me onto it before blowing out the candle in the copper plate. I lay down, and the cold tears dripped slowly in the darkness, slowly soaking the embroidered soft pillow. It was cold and windy outside, and the howling was endless, making the window paper flapping.There are countless flowers on that branch, after such a cold north wind, most of the flowers must have faded away, and most of them will be scattered.When you get up early in the morning, there must be a layer of brocade on the ground.

Rong's quilt is the best, soft and warm, but this night I didn't sleep well, until the middle of the night, I could still hear Jianbi tossing and turning on the opposite bed, maybe it was because of the wound Pain, or because of something in my heart.It wasn't until the wind died down and dawn broke in the frosty sky that I fell asleep for a while. When she woke up, Baima was already fully dressed. Looking back, she saw that Jianbi was sleeping soundly, so she didn't bother her, and quietly went to the outer room to get her makeup done. Someone was already waiting there, and invited me to the front hall for breakfast. .Baima helped me put on a dark blue cloak and hood before accompanying me.

On the icy permafrost, it is really beautiful, the petals of the cold fragrance, scattered with dust, still blooming with the fragrance that penetrates to the bones, when one's mind is clear, one can't help feeling a little bit of pity for the falling plum.On the stone road, there are also fluttering petals, which are translucent like colorful crystals, making it hard to bear stepping on. But there was a sound of footsteps coming from another direction without hesitation, trampling on the falling flowers, and quickly walked in front of me. "Good morning, third sister!" Rong Hua'er plucked a tender bud, held the ruby-like color to her nose and smelled it, and said with a smile, "It smells so good! It's a pity that the wind blows overnight, it's the most eye-catching All the flowers have been blown off!"

I smiled and said, "So what if it blows off? Doesn't this plum blossom have a soul-stirring charm? What's more, even if it is scattered into mud, it won't hide the fragrance of the garden." The third lady's expression was as usual, and she did not see the shame and annoyance of yesterday.She paced back and forth peacefully, and said with a smile: "Miss San has a unique vision. It's really strange that the decayed flowers can be compared with the blooming buds on the branches." Even a fool could understand the sarcasm and humiliation in her sentence.Although I was angry, I refused to let her go, and said with a sneer: "I also plan to wrap a few packets of leftover flowers, dry them, and make flower pouches, so that the fragrance in their bones will last for a hundred or eighty years. So what if the flowers on the branches are blooming? No matter how beautiful it is, it’s useless if no one is close enough to appreciate it.”

Rong Hua'er's face turned pale, and she said, "How do you know that no one appreciates it? Brother Dongfang and I are in love with each other, it's good!" I smiled and said, "So you saw that he was about to die, and you painted his cheeks and lips in a beautiful way, planning to follow him underground, so that he can appreciate it on Huangquan Road?" Rong Hua'er finally stopped laughing.She sneered with red eyes: "It turns out that you wish him to die so much. If he knows your intentions, he must be very happy." Seeing that Rong Hua'er's words were unreasonable, the third lady hurriedly said: "You girl is quite eloquent. Hua'er just thinks that one day Qingyao will come out and see him beautifully. How dare you curse him like that? "

I smiled lightly and said, "I'm afraid you guys know better than me what crime Dongfang Qingyao committed. You should understand in your own hearts if you cursed him, right? If you push it to death, even if Qingyao dies, I'm afraid I won't let you go!" Rong Hua'er said angrily: "I knew it, your girl is naturally as bad as you, she will pretend to be pitiful, lie and frame people behind her back!" "Who framed someone?" Rong Jincheng's thick voice suddenly rose from behind, and the plum blossoms were so startled that they rustled and dropped a few more petals.

Rong Hua'er didn't dare to say more, the original Jianbi had no one to make decisions for her, so she bullied her just now; now that I'm here, and the scars all over her body are the ironclad evidence, one can tell if she is falsely accused or not. I smiled and went forward, saluted and said: "Father, the second sister is saying that Qingyao must have been framed by someone, and she said that he should be rescued as soon as possible." Rong Jincheng lowered his face and remained silent. The third lady in that room was crying again: "Master, you must take Qingyao's matter to heart. Our family's paintings are still young!"

Rong Jincheng said impatiently: "Understood, I will discuss this matter with Shu'er." When the third lady heard that she wanted to discuss with me, her eyes widened in shock, she opened her mouth, and watched Rong Jincheng stride away, speechless. Rong Hua'er stared straight at me, as if she wanted to dig out a piece of flesh from my face, and said angrily, "I didn't know that the third sister has such abilities! If the third sister can rescue Brother Dongfang, I will be the third sister." Step one kowtows to welcome you back to the gate of the Dongfang family, let you be the main room of the Dongfang family, and I live in the side room, how about it?" The third lady sneered and said, "What kind of ability is she, she's just a bitch like her mother!" I was furious, this person is too ignorant of good and bad, he just hurt me, even Mei Luoluo, so could it be that this unruly beauty who has nothing to do with the world also offended her? I didn't want to pay any more attention to this kind of people, so I turned my anger into a smile and said, "Third Madam, of course my mother and I are not as good-looking as you. It's just that next time the Third Madam plans to play some tricks of crying, making trouble, and hanging himself , it’s best not to put on powder, or you will be washed away with tears and sweat, and your face will look like Bai Wuchang in hell! You are fine if you startle me, and when my Jianbi gives birth to the son of the Dongfang family, I will startle you baby I'm afraid Dongfang Qingyao won't recognize you as mother-in-law!" The third lady was furious, she stretched out her hand and wanted to slap me on the face, she still shouted: "So what if the master spoils you, I will teach you a lesson today, you who have no elders in your eyes! See if the master really divorced me?" My body was originally much thinner than hers, and I was afraid that I would not be her opponent in a fight, so I just took a step back with a smile; at this moment, Baima took a step forward, and raised her hand to pinch the third lady's wrist.When she saw that someone was about to attack me, her usually kind and amiable face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and the strength of her hands was probably not too small. The third lady immediately let out a roar like killing a pig. I hurriedly pulled Baima over, and said with a smile: "My servants are all brought from foreign lands. They are vicious and don't know etiquette. Don't blame the third lady. Oh, yes, it's Mrs. Ru !" I smiled coldly, looked at the mother and daughter who were already afraid to speak up, and walked away. I will not bully others, but after going through so much wind and rain, others want to bully me, but it is just a dream. The falling plums are being blown by the morning breeze, exuding fragrance, and circling in the air.How much charming, how romantic, all drifting in this falling plum wind, can't wait, can't love, just stare at it, and want to shed tears. Before breakfast was finished, it was snowing outside one after another. At first it was scattered snow spots, then it was thin and slanting light snow. On such a day, no matter what, I couldn't go out. But Rong Jincheng was very excited and called me to his study together. This plum garden was originally the other courtyard of the Rong family, and it was dominated by gardens. Compared to Feiyun Manor, the 20 or so rooms accommodated the Rong family's masters and servants, and it was still very cramped.But in such a cramped room, there is actually a huge study room. On one side of the study room, there are two rows of large and strong floor-to-ceiling teak wood bookshelves, full of books, including paper books, silk books, and even many bamboo slips. How old is the ancient book.On the wall on the other side, there are many musical instruments hanging on the wall, the qin, the flute and the flute, which are neatly arranged, look like something extraordinary, compared with the ancient book, it is dazzling and very attractive, even I can't help it Walk over, caress the tough and thin string, and listen to its ancient and calm "hum". But Rong Jincheng didn't want to be here, he went straight to the rosewood desk facing south, pointed to the dozens of books on the desk and said: "When Qingyao mentioned it to me later, he said that you had stayed in Jiangxia Palace for a long time. Time, there are many teachers there, and you can quite read a few words, so I don’t know if you can understand the account book.”
