Taohuaxi

Chapter 33 Feng Gao was framed

He sat on the gallery with his head in his hands.

The usually smooth white robe was wrinkled.

I was obviously only a few steps away from him, but it seemed like I was separated by mountains or the sea.

The lyrics in "The Romance of the West Chamber" are "People are far away but the world is close", but when Cheng Huai and I were close, people were close and the world was far away.

Tonight's evening breeze is wrapped in the colorful fragrance of Zhang's garden and the smell of blood coming from inside, which is charming and tragic.

Heming came over, leaned over and said, "Second Master, Second Young Madam, someone from the house just now said that the old lady suddenly suffered from stomach pain an hour after dinner, and she vomited all the food she had eaten at night."

Cheng Huaishi stood up in a hurry: "Have you asked the doctor to take a look?"

"The third young lady ordered a doctor to see her, prescribed it, and took the medicine. But the old lady just called the second young lady. No matter who comes here, it will be useless."

After hearing this, I suddenly woke up from my lost mood and walked outside.

The old lady is getting older and has been suffering from stomach problems for many years. Now that she is worried about Miss Sun, she is feeling suffocated in her heart, which is getting worse.

I left the gate of Zhang Mansion and got on the carriage, followed by Cheng Huaishi.

Along the way, the two of them were speechless.

After returning to the mansion, I hurried to the main courtyard.The old lady's personal maid came to greet her: "Second Young Madam, you are back!"

"Uncle, where is the eldest mistress?"

"They were drunk at the banquet today and have fallen asleep. The old lady said there is no need to call them."

The door opens and I go in.The old lady was lying on the couch. When she saw me, she shouted: "Sangyu——"

I took the medicine bowl from the third lady's hand familiarly, twisted a few slices of snowflake borneol candy on the bedside table, stirred it into the medicine, and fed it to the old lady to drink.Then, gently press her belly.This is a technique I learned from a doctor at Jishitang in Yangzhou last winter when the old lady had a stomachache.It has always been very effective.

Sure enough, the old lady's face gradually relaxed.

Tears fell from her eyes: "Sang Yu, good boy, you have been used to doing these things since you came in, but I am not used to other people anymore. You are the only one who treats me, an old woman, with every possible care."

"As for mother. Your daughter-in-law lost her mother when she was young. If you treat her well, your daughter-in-law will treat you as her own mother."

"As the old saying goes, a horse's power can be seen from a distance, and a person's heart can be seen over time. What I regret most now is that I listened to Yuzhen's words and ordered people to stop you outside and let you go astray. The most fortunate thing is that Huai'er married a wife like you."

She took my hand to her heart.

"Sang Yu, Yuzhen sent Miss Sun to the palace in such a cruel way. I'm afraid that if the handle falls into the hands of Jinyiwei in the future, the Cheng family will be in trouble. Cangshi is a soft-hearted person. Yuzhen is a confused person. In Huai'er's heart, everything is official. Qing'er is a boudoir daughter's family. You must steer the Cheng family. No matter what, you cannot let the family decline. I have a few words to say to you, you listen--"

"You say."

"There is a saying that extreme joy brings sorrow. Our family has been a family of farming and studying for generations. Starting from the grandfather's generation, we were engaged in business, and from the elder's generation, we were engaged in politics. Today, we have been prosperous for nearly a hundred years. If one day, the tree falls and the hozens scatter, it will be in vain. Several generations of hard work. Huizhou is where our ancestral roots are. Taking advantage of the current prosperity, we took out money from the cabinet to buy more land in our hometown in Huizhou. We paid for it, set up private schools, hired teachers, and taught young children, benefiting Neighbors and people from distant branches. When we have to, we have a way out! Our children and grandchildren can go home, study and work in agriculture. We will gain a good reputation among our neighbors. When we are in trouble, others will not add insult to injury!"

The old lady's words are every word.

Third Miss, me, Cheng Huaishi, and all the servants in the room were kneeling on the ground.

"Sang Yu, you agree."

I was filled with sadness and said, "Mom, my daughter-in-law agrees. I'll let someone do it tomorrow."

The old lady breathed a sigh of relief.

"If you agree, I'll be relieved."

Cheng Huaishi saw all this in his eyes and became even more silent.

The old lady looked at him and said, "Son, even if I have some shortcomings, I can rest assured that Sangyu is taking care of my family."

Cheng Huaishi leaned on the old lady and said in pain: "Mother, please don't say any unlucky words. Mother will have long blessings and a long life."

The old lady waved her hand: "The lifespan is determined by God. As people get older, they don't take life and death so seriously. You all should go back and rest. I'm tired."

Everyone said in unison, "Yes."

When I walked out of the door, I looked at the sparse stars in the sky and was stunned for a while.

Cheng Huaishi followed behind me.

After returning to the east courtyard, I finished washing and lay on the bed.

He followed and got into bed.

The lights went out.

He whispered: "I'm sorry. I couldn't take you to eat Shandong cuisine today."

I am silent.

With his eyes open, he watched the red gauze curtain fluttering around in the evening breeze.

What are you sorry for?

He was just showing his true feelings.

Perhaps, even he himself didn't know it.

It's just that, in his heart-rending grief, I suddenly saw another side of him.It turned out that there were times when he couldn't help himself.It turned out that he also lost his mind sometimes.He turned out to be more than just the handsome young man in front of me who was well-controlled, gentle and courteous.

"Madam, don't say any more angry words from now on, okay?" There was pleading in his words.

I wanted to speak several times but swallowed again.

It's such an uproar, and it's not what I wanted.

Especially at this moment, when Xun Yitang was poisoned and his life or death was uncertain, I was angry with him. Didn't everyone say that I was jealous and ignorant?
Seeing that I remained silent, he thought I was asleep.

He turned over a few times on the bed, sat up, rustled up, and walked out the door.

He doesn't want to owe me, nor does he want to owe Xun Yitang.

As everyone knows, the other side of having the best of both worlds is losing both sides.

I watched him go away without calling him.

He must have gone to Zhang Mansion.

After all, he couldn't rest assured.

The night is full of mixed flavors.

I don’t know what kind of results Mr. Zhang will get if he misses the opportunity to meet the Holy Spirit at night.

I wonder what the Hu doctor Altai would confess if he was sent to Dali Temple for interrogation.

I don’t know what the next move in this game of chess is.

Before getting up from the stairs after a long sleepless night.

The stars are few and far between.

The next day, early in the morning, the boy who went out to buy vegetables came back and said mysteriously: "Do you know, the leader of Dongchang has suffered a disaster! Long live the Lord issued an order overnight and surrounded Dongchang! The news has spread throughout the market! "

A woman said: "I'm afraid you heard it wrong? Lord Long live the one who values ​​Dongchang the most."

The boy said: "How could I hear it wrong! I went to join in the fun and saw with my own eyes that the people from Dali Temple tied up the factory man! Tsk, tsk, tsk, that factory man looked so good. It's a pity, it's a pity."

I grabbed the boy's sleeve and said, "Which factory owner?"

The young man said: "Second Young Madam, how many factory masters can there be in the Ming Dynasty? It is Mr. Feng who is so powerful in the court. On weekdays, no one is not afraid of him. God's grace is really unpredictable. I heard that it is Mr. Feng who is so powerful in the court. Because he had a personal grudge with Master Zhang, the first assistant, he ordered a Hu doctor to poison Master Zhang. The Hu doctor has already been recruited..."

I couldn't hear what he said next.

In front of him was Feng Gao's eyes filled with sadness.

It was just one night.

Everything is turned upside down.

I know that it was definitely not Feng Gao who instigated the foreign doctors.

He is the most thoughtful person, and he will not attack the chief minister without telling Long Live Lord.

Feng Gao has thin eyes and thin lips.

Feng Gao kept calling me "sister".

"Sister, I just want to live well in this storm. I'm not afraid of death. I'm afraid of being separated from my sister again."

"No matter what happens in the future, sister, don't doubt me, okay?"

"Call me Douya."

I subconsciously walked out, but I bumped into Cheng Huaishi who was returning.

I raised my head and asked him: "The barbarian doctor is here, right?"

"Madam, you don't have to worry about these temple affairs."

"Tell me. I just want to know." I said solemnly.

Cheng Huaishi pulled me back to the room and said: "Last night Lord Zhang went to the palace to meet the Holy Spirit and reported to Lord Long Live the matter of the poisoning by the Hu imperial doctor. Lord Long Live gave Lord Zhang a good meal to comfort him and promised Lord Zhang that he would definitely cure the disease. Investigate this matter. Dali Temple carried out severe punishments, and Altai confessed that it was Dongchang Gong Fengchang who instigated it. I knew that Dongchang was acting treacherously. But I didn’t expect that he would be so vicious and bold. "

"He didn't do this. He was pushed out to take the blame." I said firmly.

Cheng Huaishi said: "It is a great pleasure for Dongchang to be convicted. Why should Madam trust a man who has done all kinds of evil?"

"How did Long Live Lord deal with it?"

"Master Zhang said that only when rewards and punishments are clearly defined can the government be in order. Long Live the Lord gave Feng Chang's bus to Master Zhang, saying that he would do whatever he wanted. In order to set an example and frighten the world, Master Zhang decided to kill Feng Gao with a stick."

stick dead.

stick dead.

I obviously don’t remember the past events that Feng Gao mentioned.Why am I still so sad when I hear this news.It seems like this is an instinct deep in my heart.

I suddenly stood up on tiptoes and took out a black box above the bookshelf.

There is a gold pen given to me by Lord Zhang.

The little boy named Douya.How could I watch him die?
