Shangshi female official

Everyone was silent, as if they were feeling sorry for the unbearable fate of the rich, and they all picked up their wine glasses and drank a glass of strong wine sullenly.

Nanny Chen let out a sigh of relief after drinking, and said with a slight smile, "Stop talking about it, you take good care of yourselves, the things in the palace are determined by the people in the palace."

Nanny Chen and Nanny Zhou rested at the tofu shop for one night, and the next day they went to Dongshi to search for spices and return to the palace for business. Yue Hong inquired about the news from the outside. General Du came back to take a look and was buried in the ground the day after tomorrow.

There was no snow on that day, General Du's house was full of people, Wang Yifu and Yue Hong were wearing coarse linen clothes and it was easy to get in. hall.

There were quite a few mourners outside the door, most of them were crying dryly, as if they were hired by the Du family.

Wang Yifu and Yue Hong hid in a corner, intending to silently send them off. After kneeling for a long time, there was no other movement in the courtyard except for the dry howling.

Yue Hong couldn't help but patted the shoulder of a woman in front, and asked, "Elder Sister, when will this young master of the Du family leave? Everyone has been crying for a while, if you don't leave, why not wait until the afternoon?"

"General Du hasn't come back yet. The general's wife originally said to leave, but Young Master Jingmo's mother refused to say anything. She must wait for General Du to come back and take a look."

As soon as the eldest sister finished speaking, there were four or five people wearing black trench coats and striding into the house. Among them, the leader's temples were completely white, and the dark gold armor on his body was not removed. Fu guessed that it was General Du.

General Du entered the room, and it didn't take long before he heard miserable cries in the room, yelling "Son... son...", the crying was so tragic that the people kneeling and weeping outside dared not speak anymore. Several young women wiped their tears following the voice.

The crying in the room gradually died down, and not long after, a man with a goatee shouted: "It's time, wake up!"

The people kneeling in the yard hurriedly took the white paper streamers leaning against the wall and the paper money piled up in the corner, followed the shouters and walked out slowly, and the people in white clothes carried the coffin out and put it in the horse-drawn In the car, Wang Yifu and Yue Hong mixed in the crowd behind to send off the spirit together.

Along the way, paper and copper coins flying all over the sky fell down, like a dream.

Yu Wang Yifu, she seems to be numb with sadness, she has feelings for Du Jingmo, but she is not as deep-hearted as she is, but this kind of witness to the passing of life is more like a fish with no direction in the vast sea, which makes people confused .

From her mother, to Yan's mother, to Du Jingmo, the dead people suddenly disappeared at that moment, her body was still there, but her three souls and seven souls were taken away.

It turns out that human bodies are just jars, and human beings are nothingness after all, and living people will also go to the end of nothingness.

Thinking of this, her strong desire to return to the palace, to fight for a breath, seems to have receded in panic.

She walked numbly, and numbly watched the coffin move forward, and was carried into the pit by the people arranged by Du's family and covered with soil.

At this time, someone came to collect the sackcloth they were wearing, saying that it would be burned and it would be unlucky to wear it. They handed over the clothes, and the gathered people dispersed. Yue Hong took her to Baihe Village to find Widow Zhu.

A few days ago, they didn't dare to run to General Du's mansion, and they were able to sneak in today while there were so many people. Yue Hong expected that it would be impossible for the Empress Concubine De to come to make General Du unhappy today, and they indeed sent Du Jingmo safely to the end. a ride.

Yesterday Yue Hong personally went to Baihe Village to inquire about it, and today he was familiar with the road, and arrived at the door of Widow Zhu's house by lunch time.

The door of the farm house was closed, Yue Hong knocked on the door lightly, Widow Zhu got up and opened the door, saw the two people at the door, stared blankly for a while, then her nose turned red, and she knelt down in front of Wang Yifu.

Wang Yifu hurriedly pulled her up, but she cried intermittently: "Miss...Miss..."

Wang Yifu knelt down and said, "I am not her, I am her daughter."

Widow Zhu rolled up her sleeves and wiped her tears, crying, "I know...you are more like your father."

"Get up quickly, brother Yue and I came here for our lives, you are kneeling like this, it's easy to attract attention."

Then Widow Zhu stood up, opened the door to let them in, looked around the door, closed the door again, turned around and asked, "Have you eaten yet? I'll cook two more dishes, and I'll deal with one first." pause."

Before the two of them could answer, Widow Zhu acted first. She entered the room on the northwest side, opened the sauce jar in the corner of the wall, picked up two or three pieces of pickled white radish, and took a piece of bacon from the beam in the house, cut it in half, washed it and sliced ​​it Steam on.

It didn't take long to put on the fried radish and steamed bacon, plus the omelette and fried cabbage she made earlier, which was considered a hearty meal.

After the meal, Widow Zhu poured tea for them, keeping her eyebrows low and hiding her eyes, not daring to look at them.

Holding the teacup, Wang Yifu asked Widow Zhu, "I heard that you are my mother's dowry girl."

Widow Zhu nodded, showing a rare warm smile, and said: "My family is poor, and I was sold to the Chi family when I was very young. I have served the young lady since I was a child, and grew up with the young lady. When I entered the palace, the young lady only brought me from home. did not expect……"

"My mother, did Empress Depin kill her?"

Widow Zhu suddenly raised her head and said in surprise, "How do you know?"

"The concubine de concubine has become a concubine de concubine, and all the empresses in the palace today are defeated by her subordinates."

Widow Zhu sighed and looked up, as if looking for memories from the past.

"Back then, she was still Jieyu, but she was a girl in her teens, and her mind was terribly deep. The emperor lost two princes in his early years. Everyone knows that whoever gives birth to the prince first, Mistress Chi or Mistress Li, will have a higher status. At that time, she clinged to Li Niangniang and gave Li Niangniang a bad idea."

"How do you know it's her?"

"After Miss and Yan Sishan disappeared, I felt unhappy. I followed Zhou Dongchun. Zhou Dongchun was not looking for Li Niangniang, but Du Niangniang. After that happened, the emperor thought of her Jieyu for no reason. When she was pregnant, she was the only one who was favored and became pregnant with the third prince."

Wang Yifu murmured: "One step at a time, I really know how to calculate."

"At that time, I was framed by Zhou Dongchun to do some low-level work of serving water. Later, she kicked me to the back garden to sweep me away, so I escaped a catastrophe... When Qiu Xing served Li Niangniang, I put I gave him all the money and begged him to let me out of the palace, but he didn't make it difficult for me when he saw that money was open."

"He doesn't know you're here?"

"He only cares about money and power, and I'm useless, so what do I do."

"You don't have any children? It's the Chinese New Year. Shouldn't they be back?"
