Chapter 25 The fragrance disappears and the jade dies
The four red candles in the room were shedding red tears silently. "Ah," Ying Xiaolian sighed softly and woke up. Looking at this strange place, she remembered that she had been sold into a brothel. She felt resentful.
Then he picked up a teapot placed by the bedside and smashed it on the ground. He struggled out of bed, picked up a broken piece of porcelain from the teapot and put it on his neck. Tears fell down like broken pearls.
"Stop, girl." Madam Xu Siniang heard the sound and came in. When she saw Ying Xiaolian about to cut her neck and commit suicide, she shouted loudly.
"Don't come here. If you take another step forward, I will die in front of you."
"Hey, girl, why are you doing this? Okay, okay, okay. I won't come over. Let's talk slowly if we have anything to say. Girl, please put down the trouble first, your hands are bleeding."
"I no longer have the shame to live in this world." As soon as he finished speaking, Ying Xiaolian scratched the jade neck with the porcelain piece in his hand, "嘤咛" and coldly snorted, and the blood started to flow, and the whole person collapsed...
I don't know how long it took, but Ying Xiaolian faintly heard someone talking next to her.
"Mr. Qiu, is my girl really all right?"
"Don't worry, Mother Xu. This girl is weak and has a good pulse. If the weapon in her hand is just a little bit biased, there will be no way to save her. Okay, I'll call a waiter to come to me later.
Just get two sets of medicine from the pharmacy."
"Well, I have Laoqiu. How are your two sons? They are both ten years old, right?"
"Haha, thank you for your concern, Mother Xu. Those two dogs are both twelve this year." When Qiu Langzhong mentioned his two twin sons, Qiu Renxin and Qiu Miaoshou, his face was full of smiles, and he said goodbye with a fist in his arms towards Mother Xu.
Only Mother Xu was left in the room. She looked at Ying Xiaolian who was still unconscious and sighed: "Another poor girl, this white### has done evil again..." Xu Siniang saw Ying Xiaolian
Two lines of clear tears fell from the corners of her eyes, and she sat down beside Ying Xiaolian's bed.
"Girl, you are pregnant now, and you have to think about the fetus in your belly not only for yourself. If you don't want this child, Mother Xu will buy medicine for you to have an abortion."
Ying Xiaolian was left without a master. It all happened so suddenly. Her family was destroyed, she was deceived and she lost her virginity, she was sold into a brothel and now she has a fetus. What should she do? Ying Xiaolian asked herself again and again but there was no answer, and she felt confused.
numb.
Xu Siniang looked at the burning candle on the table and murmured to herself: "You are also a hard-working girl, just like Siniang. There are seven brothers and sisters in Siniang's family, and they have a father who is addicted to gambling.
, everything in the family was sold by her father. When she was nine years old, Si Niang was sold to Yicui Building for ten taels of silver to work as a fire girl." Xu Si Niang's voice was choked when she said this, and Ying Xiaolian opened her eyes and looked at Xu Si Niang's slightly sobbing back.
back.
Xu Siniang took out a sweat towel and wiped her eyes lightly, forced out a smile and then said: "Six Niang became a prostitute when she was fourteen years old. She had to make a living by selling jokes every day. After saving some money, she secretly returned to her mother.
I just wanted to stop my father from selling my brothers and sisters... Later, my father found out and forced my mother to hand over the money. My mother refused and was beaten to death by my father, and all my brothers and sisters were also sold. Si Niang's
At that time, just like you, I just wanted to die, but later Siniang figured out that only by living can she find a solution. Siniang became the number one in Yicui House and saved some money to ask people everywhere to find out about her brothers and sisters, but
There was no response at all, so in the end Siniang simply bought the Yicui Building and became the madam. Hahaha..."
Siniang smiled, but tears fell in large drops. Ying Xiaolian cried and hugged Xu Siniang, who was suffering as much as herself...
From that time on, there was a young waiter named Qing Zhi in Yi Cui House who was proficient in playing chess, calligraphy and painting. At first, many young masters from Wensheng wanted to spend money to buy Qing Zhi, but Xu Siniang refused.
There was a green silk curtain, which was made of overlapping Arhat knitted Suzhou embroidery. People inside could see people outside, but people outside couldn't see people inside. Ying Xiaolian was playing the piano and painting for the guests inside. She didn't want to die now.
, she was waiting for Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty to patrol the streets at the end of the year, and stopped Yu Jia to seek justice for her family.
It has only been two months. On this day, Xu Siniang told Ying Xiaolian that Wang Baoer, the Young Master of the Imperial Academy, had reserved the whole Yicui Building for a banquet with friends, and would invite Feng Qingzhi to play the piano to entertain her. Xu Siniang
Seeing that Ying Xiaolian had a troubled look on his face, he hurriedly asked why he was worried. Ying Xiaolian shook his head and said that he was feeling a little uncomfortable and it was okay.
Xu Siniang asked: "Does the girl know Wang Baoer?" Ying Xiaolian smiled bitterly and shook her head...
In the evening, Yi Cuilou finished decorating the hall downstairs and moved Ying Xiaolian's curtain next to the banquet in the hall.
Just after Youshi, there was already a lot of traffic in front of the Yicui Building. Most of the people who came were young men in their twenties, and an hour later everyone had arrived. Ying Xiaolian saw the cruel Bai Qixuan behind the curtain...
Amidst the singing and dancing, everyone at the table frequently toasted to the fat young man at the head of the table.
"Congratulations to Brother Wang. Congratulations to Brother Wang. Your father has been promoted to Censor Zhongcheng for his contribution in eliminating rebellion in Yangzhou. In the future, Brother Wang will take more care of our brothers."
"Hahaha, don't say anything about your brother. As long as I, Wang Baoer, are here, we will have wine to drink, meat to eat, and sex." After saying this, he hugged the girl next to him and raised and lowered his hands.
Someone at the table wearing a long white silk shirt said, "I heard that the traitor Ying Tianxiong is Brother Wang's father-in-law. Do you know whether it is true or not?"
When Wang Baoer heard this, he felt as if he had been whipped. He jumped up and pushed the girl in his arms: "Su, what do you mean by this? That day, the Holy Father asked my father Ying Tianxiong if he was related to our Wang family.
In-laws? When my father returns to the Holy Land and becomes a minister, he should be loyal to the Emperor. Killing all the rebellious ministers and traitors means he is loyal to the Emperor. Only then will the Emperor destroy the Ying family. Brother Su, why do you suddenly say this today? " Wang Baoer
He overturned the entire table to the ground. "Humph, I don't know how to lift things."
Wang Baoer left bitterly, leaving a table full of bewildered young masters and buddies all blaming Su Lefu, and they all left within a short time.
Ying Xiaolian listened clearly to what was said on the table behind the curtain, and was dumbfounded. The man her father regarded as a brother turned out to be the mastermind behind the tragedy... When she returned to the room, Ying Xiaolian cried and stabbed her.
He wrote a letter written in blood, accusing the prince of coveting glory and slandering Yangzhou governor Ying Tianxiong. He was so sad that he couldn't sleep all night long and shed tears.
At dawn the next day, Ying Xiaolian was still wearing the long pink dress from yesterday's banquet, and threw a piece of blood into Dali Temple. Luo Shixiang, the chief judge of Dali Temple, took a look and realized that what he was telling was the most famous person in the court today.
The prince, a third-grade official, couldn't help but take a breath of cold air at that moment.
"Bold citizen woman, sue the government from the people. Is what you said on the paper the truth?"
"Every word I say is true, I hope your Majesty will see clearly, clear my father's name, give me justice, and bring that ungrateful prince to justice."
"Bold, do I still need you to teach me when I'm trying a case? Come on, take this cunning woman down for me, and I'll make a decision after I investigate."
The officers on both sides picked up Ying Xiaolian and threw her into the women's prison. Along the way, Ying Xiaolian cried and cried: "It's unfair, the ordinary women are unfairly accused. The sky has no eyes..."
Luo Shixiang took the blood certificate and rushed to the Yushi Mansion to see Wang Ziqi. Wang Ziqi took the blood certificate and chuckled: "Master Luo, how do you think this case should be resolved?"
Luo Shixiang sat sideways on the imperial chair and said, "Sir Wang, I think this is a slanderous accusation against the common people."
"It's rare for Mr. Luo to know clearly that the case of Ying Tianxiong was decided by the emperor at that time. Ying Tianxiong acted against heaven and deserved to die."
"Yes, Mr. Wang is right."
You go back and bring the daughter of the rebellious minister, and I want to personally interrogate it. This matter should not be spread too much. If it makes Long Yan displeased, can you, the fourth-rank chief judge of Dali Temple, take on the role?"
"Your Majesty has taught you a lesson. I am humble enough to mention that criminal woman." Luo Shixiang's forehead was dripping with cold sweat.
"Go ahead, don't be too ostentatious."
After Luo Shixiang left, Wang Ziqi walked to the shelf in the study and picked up the ebony hairpin that was cut in half. He murmured: "I wanted to let you go, but you have a road to heaven and you can't go to hell.
He had no way but came to vote. "He threw away the ebony hairpin.
Ying Xiaolian had a rag stuffed into her mouth, her hands and feet were shackled, and she was put into a carriage covered with black cloth, and rushed all the way to the Censor's Mansion...
In the secret room of the Censor's Mansion, Wang Ziqi was looking at Ying Xiaolian who was glaring angrily. "Bao'er, we haven't seen each other for a long time, hahaha." Wang Ziqi took off the rag from Ying Xiaolian's mouth and put his hand on it.
Ying Xiaolian patted her face a few times.
"Bah, ungrateful thing."
"Haha, your father relied on the governor to ask my baby to marry into your family. Today I want to see Ying Tianxiong's daughter." The prince pulled off Ying Xiaolian's outer skirt. "Haha, her belly is slightly bulging.
"This is the daughter of Ying Tianxiong's sect. I don't know whose seed she is carrying." Wang Ziqi smiled lewdly and touched Ying Xiaolian's breasts, laughing loudly.
Ying Xiaolian wailed: "My father, mother and daughter are unfilial, and I can't avenge your injustice. The prince will not let you go even if he turns into a ghost." Ying Xiaolian used all her strength to hit the corner of the window lattice of the secret room,
Suddenly the brain was splashing with fragrance and death...
The prince called the servants Li Mu and Niu Er who were on patrol that night, and ordered them to throw Ying Xiaolian's body to the Wuliupo mass grave to feed the wild dogs. The two servants arrived at Wuliupo and took Ying Xiaolian out of the carriage.
All they saw were Ying Xiaolian's dead eyes looking at them with wide eyes, and the white and red brains on her forehead mixed with blood, which frightened the two servants out of their wits.
The two men found a shovel and dug a big hole. Li Mu covered the half-naked Ying Xiaolian's outer skirt. Niu Er also took off his own clothes and covered Ying Xiaolian's body, closing it with his hands.
After burying Ying Xiaolian, the two of them hurried back to the Yushi Mansion.
Good and evil will be rewarded in the end. Unexpectedly, it was these two servants who escaped the disaster because they did this good deed...
