After losing my memory, I became a soft double for the general

Chapter 60

Ever since Jiang Ling personally captured Su Mei and brought her back to Changwu Courtyard that day, Jiang Ling has never been to Changwu Courtyard again. They all withdrew to Jiangfu.

Su Mei tried to draw some patterns of clothes and jewelry, and asked Jin Chuan to find a tailor's shop and a jewelry shop to exchange for money.

Fortunately, those designs were favored by the shopkeepers of Jade Workshop and Jinxiu Workshop. Apart from credit sales, there was also a monthly income of ten taels of silver. Although Su Mei lived in poverty in Changwu Courtyard, she could still make ends meet.

It is said that it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality, but Su Mei doesn't seem to care about it. Although she can't do rough work, she can do cooking, laundry and other tasks.

Jin Chuan was in charge of the rough work of sweeping and carrying water in Changwu Courtyard, and he also had to run around in the streets, taking Su Mei's embroidery everywhere to inquire about money, busy inside and outside without touching the ground.

Su Mei was already weak, and her hands and feet were cold in winter. In order to save money, she didn't burn a charcoal basin during the day, and because she had to touch cold water for washing and cooking, Su Mei's white and slender fingers developed chilblains, and her ten fingers fell apart. It was red and swollen, and soon those pretty fingers that looked like green onions became chapped and rough.

Jiang Ling hadn't been here for half a month, and she seemed to be leaving her in the Changwu Courtyard, leaving her to fend for herself. Su Mei would occasionally think of Jiang Ling, his cold eyes, his ashen complexion, even in his dreams. Woke up scared.

In the past half a month, she has gradually gotten used to Jiang Ling not being by her side. She is still happy and at ease when he is not around. There is endless work to do every day, and her life is fulfilled.

At first, Jin Chuan was still standing at the door, sighing at the quiet and remote streets outside the courtyard, thinking that if the girl married into the Jiang family as a concubine, she would also be honored as a respected maid in the mansion, and gradually she began to Accept the fact that Jiang Ling will not come again and Su Mei has completely fallen out of favor.

In a blink of an eye, it was the Shangyuan Festival, and a major event happened in the capital. Since Hou Fangqing was knocked out and brought back that day, he went back and made trouble several times. He completely annoyed Ning Guogong. My son's wedding, originally scheduled for the third day of March, was brought forward to the Shangyuan Festival.

Su Mei is negotiating with the fishmonger. This is only a small amount of money in January. If you can save it, you can save it. Previously, there was a monthly rule of 20 taels of silver. The mansion was purchased by Wang Steward, and the clothes and jewelry were sent by Mu Feng. It is really not in charge. I don't know that firewood is expensive.

For the past half month, it has been difficult for Su Mei to support herself and Jin Chuan. Jin Chuan does all the hard work in Changwu Courtyard by herself, so Su Mei took over the grocery shopping.

She works during the day, and only at night can she set aside time to draw patterns.

Jiang Fu came to visit a few times, knowing that Su Mei was left out in the cold, her life was poor, and she quietly left money, but Su Mei asked Jin Chuan to return it.

She thought that she had angered Jiang Ling. Although she could still live in Changwu Courtyard, it was equivalent to being punished. Jiang Ling knew about it, and she didn't know how to punish her.

Or toss her one more time like that day, that time it was really tossed hard, and the injuries on her body recovered after more than ten days of recuperation.

She watched from afar Hou Fangqing, who was wearing a wedding dress, was riding a tall horse, and was walking in front of the wedding procession. He hadn't seen him for half a month. He was about to become thin like a paper man, and his pale and haggard face seemed to be blown away by the strong wind at any moment. .

The fishmonger continued to bargain: "This girl, four pennies, really can't be less."

Su Mei saw Hou Fangqing's sad eyes, although Hou Fangqing's eyebrows and eyes were exquisite, but the light in his eyes no longer existed, there is nothing more sad than heartbreak, probably referring to the appearance of Hou Fangqing in front of her.

Su Mei was stunned for a moment, then suddenly nodded.

But she is just a substitute, and her current situation, according to Jiang Ling's words, is not worthy of being a substitute for Qin Zhen. Hou Fangqing is so obsessed with her, but she is just like Jiang Ling, and she still refuses to believe it. Qin Zhen is dead.

Hou Fangqing also caught a glimpse of Su Mei from the crowd. She was holding a fish in her hand. The fish that had just been slaughtered was still struggling, and the vegetable basket in her hand was also trembling. Su Mei showed a look of embarrassment on her face.

Hou Fangqing showed a wry smile, and his face became even paler. Ning Guogong knew that he had been to Changwu Courtyard, and threatened Su Mei's life, so he had no choice but to marry Shen Yinger.

Hou Fangqing tightened the reins and paused for a moment, the sound of joy playing behind him was cheerful, Hou Fangqing accelerated his horse and almost fled in panic.

Su Mei sighed, Hou Fangqing was a modest gentleman with a kind heart, knowing Shen Yinger's true face, but he had no choice but to marry her.

Among the spectators, some people were commenting: "Young master married a wife, how many women in Beijing will cry for it!"

"That's right, how many girls are fascinated by the fairy appearance of the young master, but the mansion of Lord Ningguo and General Shen's mansion can be regarded as a good match. Although Shen Ying'er is not a beautiful beauty, she comes from a good family background and can barely get along with him. The little prince matches."

Miss Jiao, who was wearing a pink dress, pinched her handkerchief and said, "How can she be worthy of the young man like her! Haven't you seen the melancholy and helpless eyes of the young man? He must have been forced to marry."

The woman in the blue satin dress also echoed: "Who says it's not? Poor my little father-in-law has lost weight, Shen Ying'er looks mediocre, and the city is very deep. There is such a person on the stall, the little father-in-law is too thin." Unfortunately."

"Isn't this the third lady of Master Li's family in Jingzhao Mansion?"

Someone in the crowd continued to ask: "Miss San, why do you say that? Miss Shen is the daughter of a general, and she has the demeanor of old General Shen. She is heroic and innocent, so why do you think she is so rich?"

Hou Fangqing is handsome, elegant, and the only son of Ningguo's family. Miss Li also regards him as her object of admiration. She snorted softly and said, "She is like that, and she is innocent? She is the one behind the fake marriage letter case." Ambassador."

One month ago, Feng Jie made a fake marriage letter to frame the general, Hua Niang committed suicide in prison that night, Feng Jie also went crazy that night, the audience didn't know that the case was related to Miss Shen.

Miss Li is Lord Li's daughter, she said that there is something hidden in this case, and it must be nine out of ten.

The woman in pink also snorted coldly and said: "I know a thing or two about this matter, that Hua Niang is a scapegoat, she is responsible for Shen Yinger, the real mastermind behind the scenes is actually Shen Yinger."

The onlookers sighed and sighed, and recognized the woman in pink with sharp eyes as the second lady of Cui Shangshu's family, Minister of Rites. Cui Shangshu is a member of King Chen's party, and Miss Cui whispered: "The death of Hua Niang is really strange. , I suspect that the woman must have been silenced."

Miss Li smiled and said: "That's right, although Hua Niang made the illusion of hanging herself, the strangle marks on her neck were too deep, her neck was almost broken, it was obvious that she was strangled to death."

On this auspicious wedding day, the crowd in the audience were discussing the tragic situation of a woman before she died. The sky suddenly became gloomy, and the dark sky seemed to be about to rain. Someone said: "Stop talking, this day is going to change." , It's really unlucky. The marriage in Ningguo's mansion is nothing to look at."

Someone in the crowd answered, "The only good news now is that the general has won a victory at Hangu Pass and wiped out the [-] elite army of Daxian Kingdom. I heard that the victory report was sent to Beijing last night.

The aunt who was straddling the vegetable basket was very angry, "I heard that Daxian Kingdom is really cunning. Half a month ago, they sneaked across the Chizi River at night and attacked Hangu Pass at night. Fortunately, their tricks were discovered by the general in time. So he led his troops to garrison Hangu Pass, and attacked Daxian Kingdom head-on."
