Chaos on the temples: You can't escape if you provoke treacherous ministers

Chapter 1
"Old madam, I'm afraid your body is going to be overwhelmed. Let's rest at the inn for one night and go up the mountain tomorrow."

In the carriage, Nanny Jin looked at her master, Liu Yunxiang, the old lady of Jing'an Hou Mansion, with some concern.

She has just passed fifty, she should be graceful and luxurious, but she has worked hard all her life, she looks older than her actual age, and her bones are getting worse and worse.

The old lady opened her eyes, with a bit of hostility on her old face: "I'm going up the mountain today, cough cough..."

"Old lady!"

Nanny Jin hurriedly supported the old lady, and saw that she vomited a mouthful of blood.

"I don't want to see him before I die."

Liu Yunxiang pushed Nanny Jin away, and tried his best to suppress the rising blood pressure.

Nanny Jin had no choice but to help Mrs. Liu out of the car.

They came here by boat and car, but Wangshi Village is in the mountains, and this section of the mountain road is rugged, especially after it rains, they can only go up on foot.

Liu Yunxiang's legs and feet are not good, and it is very difficult to walk this mountain road. She can't straighten up after walking a short distance, but she refuses to stop, even for a moment.

At the age of 16, she married Xie Zi'an, the third son of Jing'an Houfu. On the night of their marriage, before the consummation of the house, her husband hurriedly summoned him to fight.This time I left, I never expected to come back.

She was young and widowed, the Marquis Mansion was in decline, all the men were dead, there were old and young, and she was the only one who could support the family.

This has lasted until now, for a lifetime, and it came over in a trance.

Now that the Hou Mansion ranks first among the eight great families, she can be regarded as worthy of the ancestors of the Xie family and her late husband.When she was supposed to take care of her life, the husband who didn't want to die for 40 years unexpectedly got news.

Finally, I finished this mountain road.

Looking up again, the peach blossoms all over the mountains and slopes are in full bloom.Clusters of clusters, like clouds and brocades, the wind blows, and the pink petals are like a rain of flowers.

The letter said: The winding path of the peach forest leads to seclusion, the courtyard is square, and the walls are full of flowers and trees.

That was his home.

Walking along the Qingshi Road, stepping on the thick peach petals, smelling the fragrance of peach blossoms, it is like being in a fairyland.I didn't want such a paradise in the outskirts of Shengjing.

Liu Yunxiang once imagined that when she was old and could let go of family affairs at ease, she would find a quiet place to retire.

It's a pity that she has thought and dreamed all her life, but she still can't let go of this hand.

There is a small stream in front of it, the gurgling stream is covered with pink petals, which is so beautiful that it makes people trance.The creek built a wooden bridge, and after crossing the bridge, you can see the square yard.

As the letter said, the walls were covered with flower vines, colorful and colorful.

"Old lady, it's still..." Nanny Jin had a distressed face.

"He's already here, I have to go see him." Liu Yunxiang patted Nanny Jin's hand.

She was calm and tough when she was young, soft and kind when she was old, and lived a frank life all her life.

The wooden door was open, Liu Yunxiang walked to the door, and saw a tall man was pruning the peach tree, he was wearing a Tsing Yi bunt, and he also had white hair, but not much, and his body was not stooped.

"Grandpa, I want that peach blossom!"

"I want me too."

Six or seven children ran out of the house, begging the man to cut peach blossom branches for them.

These children are ten or so years old and two or three years old. There are boys and girls. They are all fat and cute.

The man cuts a branch according to this, and cuts another branch according to that, making the children happily circle around the peach tree.

"You, just pamper them. When the peach branches are bald, will they still bear peaches this year?" At this time, a woman came out of the house, wearing a brocade spring shirt, with black hair and a rosy complexion, smiling. helping the man down the wooden ladder.

"Children and grandchildren are around their knees, family happiness." The man laughed.

When the man turned around, there was an unfamiliar face, it took Liu Yunxiang a while to see some familiarity from this face.

"Jin Yan, is that him?"

Nanny Jin sighed, "It's the third master."

"Then the woman next to him is his wife?"

"It's an outer room at best."

Liu Yunxiang smiled wryly, "Why are they so much younger than me?"

Nanny Jin was full of bitterness, "You, you have supported the huge Marquis Mansion and worked hard all your life. They, in this place with beautiful mountains and clear waters, live a leisurely life. How can this be compared, this is incomparable."

The man cut another branch of peach blossom, and carefully inserted it into the woman's bun.

"Li Niang, you are still so beautiful."

The woman is old, and she still looks shy after hearing this.

"By the way, a letter from the Hou's mansion said that the man is sick, and I'm afraid time is running out. Why don't you go back and have a look?"

The man held the woman's hand, "Do you want me to go?"

"How could I want my husband to meet other women?"

"Then I won't go, I have no relationship with her."

"it is good."

The man was sitting under the peach blossom tree with the woman in his arms, and a group of children were playing around them.

On the way back, Nanny Jin was really worried when she saw that the old lady kept her eyes closed.

"Old lady, you are not in good health, let's rest at the inn for two days first?"

Seeing that the old lady should not respond, Nanny Jin asked again, but there was still no response.

She panicked, and went to check on the old lady's breath, but it was gone...

"The old lady has passed away!"
