In the mourning hall, an upright and upright figure stood on his knees. His black plain clothes looked abrupt and dignified in the snow-white. Next to him stood Qian Niangniang, who was still spotless in white, and her slender snow-white was quiet and serene. Her hand was resting on her second brother's and was shaking constantly.
On his broad shoulders, there was silence and sadness, as if there was a common connection between the two of them, and the long sorrow lingered throughout the mourning hall.
Walking into the mourning hall, I slowly knelt down beside my second brother and looked at my mother's black sandalwood coffin. The shiny black coffin reflected our shadows, just like my mother's eyes, watching us kindly. Her sideways gaze was caught by
Empress Qian's slightly protruding belly attracted me, and my second brother turned to me and said, "Pengdie is pregnant, so it's inconvenient..." I looked up at them and smiled bitterly.
There are many things I don’t want to say anymore, maybe because time makes all things fade and forget.
God always likes to joke with us. He wants to bless them sincerely but cannot share their happiness. When they welcome the arrival of new life, they should be happy and happy when facing the blessings of others, but at this time, what do they do?
It’s hard to smile freely and freely.
"When will Mom's funeral be held?" My second brother walked to the back hall and asked me after he carefully helped Qian Fengdie sit down.
"Mr. Taoist priest has prepared the funeral ceremony tomorrow. The fourth brother is in charge of the specific matters." I wanted to tell the second brother that my mother's death was not that normal, but then I thought about the special situation around the second brother, who had always had feelings for my mother.
Ashamed, if he really knew something, he would investigate it regardless of anything. Once his identity is exposed due to his impulsive behavior and offends the people in the general's palace, the consequences will be disastrous. In addition, now that Qian Fengdie has a child, how can he continue to take risks?
What about this risk?
"How are you doing, dad? Why don't you see anyone?" Although he and his dad don't have much affection on weekdays, blood is thicker than water after all, the second brother asked softly.
"Dad and aunt went to the General's Mansion. They said they were feeling unwell." It was the fourth brother who spoke. The reunion of the siblings revealed many emotions that could not be expressed in words.
"Shaoyang, long time no see." The second brother patted the fourth brother on the shoulder and couldn't help but said in a tone of "you have grown so big."
The fourth brother glanced at the thin Qian Fengdie and said with an inscrutable expression: "I didn't expect that the rumored killer in the world, Madam Qian, is actually my sister-in-law." As soon as the words came out, Madam Qian immediately jumped up and whipped out her long whip.
With a wary face, the second brother quickly protected Fengdie behind him, puzzled: "Shaoyang, what are you talking about?"
I gasped and laughed, killer madam? Just calling Granny Qian was funny, and there was also an old madam.
"Isn't the fourth brother also a madam?" I joked: "Why does the fourth brother know that she is Qian Niangniang? Since she is said to be my sister-in-law, what are you going to do?" Although I am constantly being hurt and betrayed by people around me, but
In the face of pitiful family affection and care, I choose to believe firmly! Since the fourth brother has his own reasons for saying so, at least he will never hurt us, because we are brothers!
The fourth brother had a bright dart with a special mark in his hand. He walked up to me and said, "Stupid girl, if I hadn't picked this thing up, you would have been in trouble if it had been picked up by some people with ulterior motives!" After a closer look, it turned out to be Er.
The dart my brother gave me was empty when I touched my waist.
"Second brother, although I am an ordinary businessman, the Moulin Rouge is already a mixed bag of dragons and snakes in this bustling imperial city. Everyone in the political circles and officialdom can know about all kinds of secret information. The name of Empress Qian is also known.
It’s not like I’ve heard it once or twice. As for being able to recognize Miss Qian at a glance, firstly because of her white body and slender figure, and secondly because of this escort, I just said it tentatively, because I didn’t want my sister-in-law to immediately show off her long hair.
Whip, it’s even more certain that it’s Empress Qian.” After the fourth brother explained carefully, he said to the second brother: “Actually, I’ve known that my mother has been thinking about my second brother very much for many years, and I’ve been looking for news about him, but it’s like finding a needle in a haystack.
.I was wondering if the second brother didn’t use the name Liu Muyang at all, but he couldn’t think of a good way, so he had to secretly turn Moulin Rouge into a secret channel for information gathering.”
I sat quietly aside, wanting to know why the fourth brother didn't find out the whereabouts of Ning Yuanjue, and who the girl Lan was who almost became the mistress of the Ning family.
"I was chased when I came back." I whispered. The second brother stood up in shock and walked to me to check on me with concern. The fourth brother picked up a glass of water and drank it and said: "When I came back, I was chased."
There was already a huge crowd, and about twenty men in black were lying there screaming. They all said they had been bitten by poisonous snakes, but there was not a trace of snakes around. Zipei went out as little as possible, and he would not go out when he returned to the palace in the future.
You must be careful.”
I nodded and said to the fourth brother: "The person who saved me was a woman wearing a blue Miao uniform. She had a small basket on her waist, and it was full of snakes. Second brother, do you know who that woman is?" I turned around and looked.
Xiang Er Ge and Qian Niangniang.
Empress Qian muttered: "The woman you are talking about is very much like the maidservant of Cangming Valley. Cangming Valley is famous for producing and nourishing poisons. It is divided into three palaces and twelve rooms, namely Deyue Palace, Lingscorpion Palace and Jiangcao Palace.
Palace. The three palaces each have different decorations, and they are mutually reinforcing. The maids inside are all beautiful and intelligent, and everyone can apply poison and nourish poison. A Miao suit is distinguished by the color of each palace. The Moon Palace is red, the Spirit Scorpion Palace is blue,
Jiangcao Palace is green. But if she is really from Cangming Valley, why would she save you?"
"Could he be entrusted by someone?" He came back in a hurry just now, thinking that it would be Huangfu Zhi. Now that he heard what she said, it couldn't be Huangfu Zhi, so who could it be?
"The maidservants in Cangming Valley will not help or harm others without permission from the palace maid." Empress Qian shook her head and said to me: "In short, it is best to have less contact with the people in Cangming Valley. In the Jianghu
Most people will not deal with them because they mean death."
"What about Tianya? Didn't Fourth Brother say that there is some kind of miracle doctor Tianya, that person?..." There is an intuition in the dark, trying hard to equate Ning Yuanjue with Tianya, because there is no news about him, if he can
Knowing so much about him will make you feel better and more at ease.
"Tianya? He is considered a better person in the Cangming Valley. Few people know his specific origins. He only saves those who are in love. If he is ruthless, he will not save even if he spends a lot of money, and he will even kill people with his own hands.
." Empress Qian rubbed her forehead. Pregnancy made it difficult for her thin body to hold on for too long.
Seeing this, the second brother felt distressed and wanted to help Qian Niang to rest. The fourth brother quickly arranged accommodation for them. The second brother said: "No need, we will leave after the funeral of tomorrow's mother. Now our identities cannot stay anywhere for too long."
Looking at their departing figures, I felt confused, there were too many unsolved mysteries, and there were too many things I wanted to know. I leaned on the bench, closed my eyes tiredly, and fantasized about the time when I was a child.
A crystal ball as big as a fist shines brightly, and gradually the water sparkles. Through the crystal ball, I can see everything I want to know...
