Concubine's true colors

Chapter 61 Invite to go together
The cold wind was blowing, desolate and solemn, in front of a tomb that occupied a small area but was very solemnly trimmed, Xiao Jinxuan was dressed in a moon white skirt, standing solemnly on one side, watching quietly, kneeling in front of the tomb, Wen Xin, who had been burned to yellow paper, showed a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

"From the first seven days, you knelt in front of the coffin every day, and never left unless you fainted. Now the aunt is buried in the ground, and she is buried in the back mountain of Meizhuang. If you miss it, you can often come to pay homage. No matter how difficult it is for your own body, otherwise your mother will know how to let her lay down on you with peace of mind."

Wen Xin didn't raise his head, and still burned the yellow paper silently. After a while, his hoarse voice came.

"Jinxuan stay with me later. After today, I will come to see my mother next time. I don't know what year and month I will have to wait."

Just when Xiao Jinxuan didn't understand what he meant, Wenxin stood up and looked at her quietly.

"I've heard from Bai Shu and Zhu Xin that you're going to Beijing. My mother is gone now. There's nothing I can miss in Yangzhou. I want to go with you."

Xiao Jinxuan was not at all happy when she heard the words, instead she frowned and said: "What nonsense are you talking about? The aunt just left. As a child, you have to stay and keep a filial piety for her for a year. When the filial piety is over, I will keep you whenever you come. , but not now."

But Wenxin raised her head, looked at the blue sky, and suddenly smiled.

"A person walks like a lamp goes out. Is it true that if I stay and keep my filial piety, I am a filial son? Besides, filial piety is good in my heart. I won't forget it no matter where I go. That's enough. Why bother to pretend to be superficial? It's of no use at all."

Perhaps Wen Xin had a lot of thoughts that were different from before after experiencing the departure of his close relatives. If he had seen someone not being filial to his parents before, he might have been the first to jump and scold him for being unfilial. But now he has experienced it personally. Instead, he took everything lightly.

He is different from other children. He has been stared at since he was a child, and now his mother has just died, and he is forced to come to the door by those so-called relatives. It has to be said that his heart is struggling with these pains, and he is already a little distorted.

He doesn't want to believe that there is justice and innocence in this world, he doesn't believe that good people will be rewarded, and he clearly sees how greedy and ugly human nature is.

He has only one idea, if he doesn't want to be bullied again, he must be more greedy, shameless and unscrupulous than those villains!

His heart is now in darkness. If it weren't for the gleam of fluorescence illuminating his heart in this darkness, it is estimated that he is either being driven crazy, or he is impulsively taking a knife to kill those who bully others. All killed.

Thanks to this bit of light, he still retains his sanity, and this bright light is none other than Xiao Jinxuan.

This woman who gave him food, kept him by her side, and entrusted him with important responsibilities when he had nothing and was in a state of embarrassment, could be said to be his benefactor, who would be reborn with grace.

If it wasn't for the unreserved help from the other party, his mother might not even be able to make it through this year. It was Xiao Jinxuan who bought him so many things on New Year's Eve, so that the last New Year's Eve that the two of them spent together was so satisfying and happy. , to make up for his debt to his mother.

It was still Xiao Jinxuan, when everyone came to the door, regardless of his mother's bones, and was about to drive him out of the house, it was the other party who helped him again, vented his anger, supported him, and now even paid for him to bury his mother. This kindness, he Even a lifetime is not enough.

Reaching out to grab a handful of yellow paper, Wen Xin threw them into the sky.

Then he raised his head and shouted loudly: "Mom! Now that you are gone, only the baby is left. If it weren't for Jinxuan, our mother and I might not be able to survive the snowstorm. Thank you for raising me for 14 years, but From now on, my life belongs to Jinxuan. My son will take a handful of soil from your grave with me wherever I go, but I can’t stay with you in Yangzhou anymore. Mother, you have to take care, if you don’t If my son has a chance to come back, I will kowtow to you when I come over."

Wen Xin knelt down on the ground after finishing speaking, and kowtowed three times to Huang's tombstone, but no tears fell.

The dead are gone, and now he wants to protect the living, and spend his whole life protecting them!
When he stood up again, his expression had returned to normal, he pulled Xiao Jinxuan up, and left without looking back.

Looking at Wen Xin who was leading the way for her, Xiao Jinxuan felt a little sad, but she didn't say anything.

Everyone has the right to choose their own way of life, she has no right to interfere, all she can give is respect and understanding.

When the two of them went down the mountain and came to the carriage, they realized that someone was waiting there, dressed in purple robes, who else could it be if it wasn't Zhou Xianrui.

Xiao Jinxuan stepped forward a few steps, and said with a blessing, "How did your Highness find this place, but what's the hurry?"

Zhou Xianrui smiled, and said in an easy-going way: "There is a matter. I went to the mansion to look for Miss Fourth, but Miss Zhuxin told me that you were here, so this king came here."

But in his heart, there was still half of the words left unsaid, and he hadn't seen each other for several days. Originally, he thought that he had always been reserved and stable, but he didn't want to leave the house without seeing the other party, and couldn't wait any longer, so he drove the horse to Here you come, Jinxuan, do you know that you make me think so hard.

Naturally, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't understand the inner thoughts of the man in front of her, so she immediately raised her eyebrows and asked, "I don't know what's going on, but now in Yangzhou, I'm afraid there is no one in Yangzhou who can block the prince."

Zhou Xianrui heard her, glanced at her and said: "In Yangzhou, I am fortunate to have the help of the young lady. Everything has been settled now. After finishing the business, the king will return to the capital in a few days. I know that the fourth lady will also go to the capital. So I came here specially to invite you, you and I might as well go back to Beijing together, so we can have someone to take care of us on the way."

Xiao Jinxuan naturally wished for this proposal. She could travel with a prince, and there would be many guards accompanying her along the way, so she would not have to worry about safety issues. This was good news for her.

"Then Jinxuan thanked His Highness. The officialdom in Yangzhou is now clear and bright, and it is all thanks to His Highness, but I don't know that the capital has been safe and peaceful recently."

She is about to return to the capital. If she can grasp more, the current situation there will definitely be beneficial. Unfortunately, she is still fledgling and has no ability to find out the movements of the capital, but Zhou Xianrui is different. Knows well.

Sure enough, Zhou Xianrui smiled, calmly shaking the whip in his hand

"A while ago, the sixth brother's incident was the worst, but after all, the sixth brother's biological mother, Concubine Qian Hui, was also from the Qian family. In the end, the Hou family didn't pursue the matter, and confessed by pinching their noses. The sixth brother saved his life, but Father has a decree that he will not be crowned a prince in this life, so he will only be a prince on the day of his death, and he will be completely abolished."

Seeing Xiao Jinxuan listening carefully, Zhou Xianrui continued to speak with a smile on his face.

"Actually, the Qian family also knows that the sixth prince was swayed by this king, but they dare not do anything to this king. I am now worried that after they investigate, they will turn their finger on you, Miss Fourth. When you come back The capital, you must be careful everywhere, but you are a member of the commander-in-chief, and they dare not do anything on the surface, because they are afraid that they will do something behind the scenes."

Nodding her head, Xiao Jinxuan said calmly: "His Highness Xie reminded, Jinxuan has remembered, and will definitely pay attention everywhere."

When Zhou Xianrui heard the words, he didn't say anything, but changed the subject and brought up another matter.

"This time when I return to Beijing, my seventh brother cannot go back with me because of the emperor's order. I am afraid that it will be difficult to see this parting for a while. Last time, the fourth lady and I mentioned the matter, although you rejected me. Wang once, but now I want to ask again, is Miss Si really unwilling to marry my seventh brother as a concubine?"

In fact, pushing the woman he likes into another person's arms is not a pleasant feeling, but a few days ago, he accidentally saw a handkerchief embroidered with the word Xuan in Zhou Xianyu's room.

Although the veil is well preserved, it can still be seen that it is often taken out and played with. I know that this seventh brother is so deeply rooted in love. As an elder brother, how can he not open his mouth and try his best to facilitate This marriage.

Xiao Jinxuan didn't expect that the other party mentioned this matter again, and turned her head to look into the distance.

After a long time, she said in a very soft voice: "Your Highness, Jinxuan still has important things on her mind that have not been completed. Before that, I will not consider getting married, let alone just told me before, whether I am worthy or not." Shang Yuwang, he doesn't like deep palace marquis mansions, wives and concubines vying for favor, please don't say such things again."

Humans are not plants, so no one can be ruthless. In fact, for Zhou Xianyu, if she said that she has no feelings at all, she would not even be able to lie to herself.

Especially that night of the Merlin Fireworks, she believed that she would never forget that night in her life,

And when Zhou Xianyu knelt under the moon, solemnly holding her hand and making an oath, she had never felt such a strange feeling, no matter how difficult it was with Ji Lingfeng and his wife in her previous life.

But all these good things are just a flash in the pan. That terrible dream that night reminded her all the time. bring disaster.

If the punishment is only for herself, then she may not hesitate and is willing to give it a go, but as long as they love each other, the other half will also change their fate and bring bad luck because of her. How dare she open up her heart, why not just like this It is better to die alone than to harm others and yourself.

Zhou Xianrui looked at Xiao Jinxuan, he was not an ignorant young man, now he had a family and a career, he could clearly see the affection in the other party's eyes.

This made him even more puzzled, since Xiao Jinxuan also had feelings for his seventh brother, why he refused to accept it.

Just when he was about to ask further why the other party hesitated so long, a sound of horse honking interrupted him.

Then I saw Zhou Xianyu standing on the horse in a black outfit, bent down, and picked up Xiao Jinxuan, who was secretly sad, onto the horse's back, then turned around gracefully, and walked away.

"Fifth brother, you don't need to worry about Xuan'er and me. If Xuan'er doesn't want to marry, then I will wait until the day she agrees. If she wants to marry, I will give everything I have to welcome her as my concubine. I don’t want to force her, not half of it.”

Looking at Zhou Xianyu who rode his horse away as the words fell, Zhou Xianrui smiled. Sure enough, the most suitable for you, Jinxuan, is my seventh brother. What he can give you, I will never be able to do in this life. arrived.
