Concubine's true colors

Chapter 71

Smiling slightly, Xiao Jinxuan's panic just now has long since disappeared, and instead calmly greeted Xiao Jinke as a blessing.

Then he said with a smile: "Third sister said that since you have locked the door, I won't play with my sister anymore."

She has already done everything she has to do, so if she stays here, she really can't wait to die.

Dazed by the other party's sudden salutation, Xiao Jinke froze for a moment.

And Xiao Jinxuan seized this opportunity, immediately got rid of the other party's entanglement, rushed towards the confession, hugged the white jade Guanyin enshrined above it into her arms, and rushed out of the small Buddha hall without stopping.

Xiao Jinke also came back to her senses at this moment, looking at Xiao Jinxuan who had disappeared, she secretly scolded the other party for being cunning, she looked around for a small pillar-shaped candlestick, held it in her hand, and rushed out.

And Qiaomei, Qiaoxin, knew something bad was going on when the small Buddhist hall was on fire, and went out to find the water source, hoping to control the fire before it was discovered, so they took the first step and ran out. Buddha Hall

For a while, the hall was empty, except for the growing fire, there was no sound at all.

Lying on the wooden door, Xiao Jinyu, whose neck was a little stiff, was puzzled and listened more carefully, but apart from feeling that the wooden door was getting hotter and hotter, she couldn't hear the noise just now.

She straightened up puzzled, and said with a puzzled face: "Baoge, go and listen too. Why is there no movement outside? Could it be that Jinke kidnapped that girl? But why is there no cry for help? It's really strange. "

When Baoge heard the words, she hurriedly moved her body to the door, but before she heard it, when she lowered her head, she saw the crack of the door below, and there was a puff of thick smoke pouring into their side room.

She exclaimed and shouted in panic: "Miss, get out of the way, there is a lot of smoke, don't be choked."

Xiao Jinyu, who was thinking about the situation outside, heard this, and quickly lowered her head to look. When she saw the black smoke pouring in, she screamed, covered her mouth and nose, and stepped back.

"Baoge, open the door quickly, we have to go out, it seems that something happened outside, Jinke won't burn down the Buddhist hall, right?"

She doesn't care about Xiao Jinxuan's life or death, and it's what she likes if the other party is burned to death, but Xiao Jinyu still cherishes her little life, so naturally she doesn't want to stay with her to die.

Baoge heard the words, nodded in a panic, and then hurried to push the door. This side room is the back of the small Buddhist hall, an added small room. Usually no one lives there, so there are no windows. If you don’t go out , they really have to be trapped here.

But now the door of the room has long been locked from the outside, so Baoge used all his strength to feed, but the door still didn't budge.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Jinyu panicked. In just a short while, a lot of smoke had poured into the small side room. She covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and she was already coughing from choking.

Disregarding the dignity and elegance of the past, Xiao Jinyu ran to the wooden door and beat the wooden board vigorously with her hands. She didn't know whether she was frightened or choked by the smoke, and tears couldn't stop streaming down her eyes.

"Open the door, is there anyone outside? Jinxuan, you are still here, save my sister, grandma, Yu'er is so scared, come quickly."

At this time, she finally remembered that Xiao Jinxuan had come, but the other party had run away for a long time, so she had no time to control her life or death.

As for the old lady who has always doted on her, she doesn't know how to tell fortunes by pinching her fingers, let alone know that her precious granddaughter is hovering between life and death.

But today's old lady, not only doesn't know about all this, but also calmly drinks calming tea, behind her Aunt Jin Chuan is pinching her back, compared to Xiao Jinyu's panic and despair, old lady is quite comfortable now.

After she drank half a cup of tea, she suddenly sighed.

"Jin Chuan, I'm really old. I drink this calming tea three times a day, but my sleep is still very shallow. I can't sleep well if I'm disturbed every day."

When the old lady was in front of others, she was always dignified and steady. Now, the only one who could let her relax and talk about some troublesome things was Jin Chuan, the old servant who accompanied her into the handsome mansion for more than forty years.

Aunt Jin Chuan was a nine-year-old girl when she first entered the Shuai's residence, but now she is in the Shuai's residence, an existence that no one dares to underestimate, and she is highly relied on by the old lady. angry.

Jin Chuan smiled after the movement of massage in his hands.

"Old Madam, don't say that, you are only in your fifties, you are still young, you will have trouble sleeping, and there are too many things in the house recently, and you tend to pay attention to everything, if you are willing to worry less, you will not be afraid of not being able to sleep well. "

Upon hearing this, the old lady closed her eyes and shook her head slowly.

"Jin Shun, you always know my mind best. How can I feel at ease when the fourth girl came to Beijing? Ever since I decided to bring her back, I can dream of my second child day and night. He looked at me bloody, and no matter how I shouted, he, a cruel little bastard, just refused to talk to me."

At the end of the old lady's speech, her voice was a little choked up. She picked up the handkerchief beside her, wiped the corners of her eyes, and took a few breaths. Her excited expression finally calmed down.

Seeing her like this, Jin Shun sighed, and comforted softly: "Second Master has already gone, the old lady misses him so much, Second Master is the most filial, if the public knows, he will not feel at ease."

The old lady's eye circles turned red again, and her body trembled a little.

"I will never forget the feeling that my heart ached when the news of the death of the second elder came that day, but the family letter of the second elder's death in the front foot was handed to me, and the next moment the family letter of Yangzhou announcing the good news was also handed to the old man In front of him, the old man died in World War II, but that girl Jinxuan was born. Not only did the two live and die on the same day, but the letter of this death was also sent to the commander's mansion on the same day, saying that the second child was not killed by Jin Xuanke, and the old man did not believe it. "

The second child in the old lady's mouth was Xiao Hua, her second son who died in battle for more than ten years. Originally, she did not connect the death of the other party to Xiao Jinxuan.

But afterwards, when she knew that the other party had killed all the servants in the courtyard since he was born, from that moment on, she believed that her son was also killed by the other party, and she believed it for more than ten years.

Jin Shun poured another cup of calming tea for the old lady, hoping to ease her excitement.

"Old madam, since this fourth young lady is so annoying to you, why do you have to pick her up to make things difficult for yourself? Just let her stay by the fourth master's side. When she gets married and has children in the future, it's all just as if you don't have this granddaughter .” Xiao Heng is the fourth eldest child at home, so the fourth master refers to him.

The old lady took a sip of tea, her mood calmed down a lot, and then she snorted.

"You want to bring her back as an old man, but the snowstorm in Yangzhou has made this girl so popular that even the Holy Majesty praised her. She is now honoring the Xiao family. If I don't allow her to come to Changping, how will others talk about the Shuai's mansion? When the handsome master comes back in the future, how should I explain it? Others will say that I am biased towards injustice, and I don’t want people to poke my old man’s back.”

In fact, it's okay to say other things, but her husband, Old Marshal Xiao, is what she fears the most.

Thinking back then, according to her idea, Xiao Jinxuan, the disaster star, should be killed, but Old Marshal Xiao refused. He had seen too much about the other party's life as a soldier, casualties on the battlefield, and he would never blame an innocent person for his son's death. On the baby girl, not to mention that the child is his own granddaughter.

In the end, the old lady forced her to die, and the handsome old man stepped back and agreed to send Xiao Jinxuan to Zhuangzi.

Having been married to the handsome old man for more than forty years, the old lady knows very well that if Xiao Jinxuan does not take back her meritorious service, as long as she is partial to this matter, she has always been fair, and the handsome handsome man who loves the younger generation will definitely be the first to have trouble with her.

The old lady didn't want to offend the opponent's bottom line, so if she didn't want to, she could only compromise and take Xiao Jinxuan back.

Hearing this, Jin Chuan nodded in agreement, and was about to comfort the old lady a few words to make her think about it, but he didn't want to hear a hasty knock on the door, interrupting the conversation between the master and the servant.

Jin Chuan frowned and opened the door, just wanting to reprimand the visitor, for being too unruly, but before he could open his mouth, the visitor rushed in.

While running, he shouted: "Old madam, please go to the small Buddhist hall to have a look, something happened there, Miss San and Miss Si had a quarrel there."

The person who came here was none other than Aunt Cui who was in charge of the Small Buddha Hall. As soon as she left, she asked the aunt surnamed Liu to notify the wives of each room, and she also rushed to notify the old lady. No one can blame her for what happened next door.

As soon as she heard that something happened in the small Buddhist hall, the old lady sat up immediately. Although she was a strict person, she was a devout Buddhist believer. What's more, there was also a white jade Guanyin bestowed by Emperor Ming himself in the small Buddhist hall. Mishap, but how to take care of it.

The old lady was full of anger, and immediately ordered: "Jinchuan, let's go, I want to see what those two dead girls have made my Buddhist hall look like, there is no rule at all, especially the fourth girl, come If she gets into trouble again and again, if I don’t punish her properly this time, I’m afraid it will be hard to remember.”

For fear of being criticized by others, Xiao Jinxuan had no choice but to take her here, but the old lady's heart is actually very biased.

Just like now, before the matter was cleared up, she was already thinking about how to punish Xiao Jinxuan. As for the other party involved, Xiao Jinke, she didn't say a word about punishment. How happy you are.

After a while, the old lady walked out of the yard and hurried to the small Buddhist hall, because this Buddhist hall is where she usually worships the Buddha, so there is a long, separate and direct path from her courtyard to the small Buddhist hall. The corridor is very flat, and it saves time and effort to walk.

Seeing that after turning a corner, the small Buddhist hall could be seen, the old lady was walking in the front, and she couldn't help walking a little faster.

But just as she was about to turn around, a figure suddenly appeared and bumped into her.

After all, the old lady was old and frail, she staggered and fell backwards, the maidservants around her screamed and frantically rushed to support her.

Jin Chuan frowned tightly, looking at the old lady with eyes full of anger, and was about to blurt out scolding when she bumped into the old lady's visitor, but after seeing the visitor clearly, shock flashed in her eyes, and she was completely stunned.
