Chapter 363: Song Shi'an was angry!
"You..." Song Shi'an was angry and speechless again. He wanted to say a few words to each other. Thinking about it again, Ye Heminglu also said the topic of etiquette, and there was nothing to distinguish. Moreover, he has been silent for too long because of this three years of filial piety. Now what he needs most is to find an opportunity to return to the court to regain his power. And if you are impeached at this time, so that your previous achievements are abandoned, it is really not worth the loss.
So after thinking for a moment, I could only endure and say angrily, "What the princess said is reasonable. In the past, I was indeed busy with the government and neglected this aspect. In the future, I will definitely pay more attention to it."
Ye Heminglu hit the snake and said, "Lord Song is also a reasonable person. In this case, you should fully assist Zichu in the investigation of Mrs. Helian's matter. If it is found that there is really something strange, I can also say a few words for you in front of the emperor, so as to avoid giving you the responsibility, so as not to affect your reputation.
"Yes, thank you, princess."
The good worship has been completely gone. In addition, another person suddenly died, and everyone felt that the clouds were covered. Zichu didn't seem to have the intention to stay in the ancestral hall. He ordered someone to clean the scene and seal the yard where Aunt Zhou lived. After locking up all the people around her, he said that he would go to the yard where Dr. Helian lived before his life to remember.
As for the suddenly bleeding spirit card, Zichu couldn't help but put away the people around him, saying that he wanted to find out the origin of the blood stains on it and then make a conclusion.
The house was originally one of the main courtyards of Song Mansion, occupying an excellent southeast location, which also shows that Mrs. Helian's identity and status could not be underestimated when she first married into Song Mansion. This courtyard occupies an active and wide area, which can be said to be the largest courtyard in the whole Song Dynasty.
It is far away from the Tongze Courtyard where Song Shi'an lives. There are three main halls, five partial rooms on the left and right. The courtyard in front of the hall is wide, with several green bamboos planted, several pots of flowers in front of the court, black tiles and white walls, and green bamboo reflecting flowers, which is very elegant. Just because the hostess was sealed for ten years after her death, it is now inaccessible. Although the flowers and trees inside and outside the yard are lush, it is covered with moss, with a kind of endless sadness and lonely loneliness, which looks particularly sad and lonely.
When Zichu and Ye Heminglu walked in, they saw the green bamboo in the yard as jade. Several servants at the door were trying to clean the thick fallen leaves. In the flowers in the yard, there was a slender figure bending down to trim the potted plants. His posture was elegant, suddenly as if he had noticed something and turned around.
Seeing the gorgeous palace woman standing quietly at the door, the woman seemed to be stunned. Her similar face made her immediately recognize the person. The flower scissors in her hand fell to the ground with a "bang". The guards behind Zichu quickly gathered around vigilantly to check and shouted, "Bold! Why don't you kneel down quickly when you see the princess and the princess?
"Princess? You mean... Miss, you are the princess!"
The woman said, with tears on her face. She knelt down and then cried, "Miss, I am the dowry maid brought by the eldest lady, named Qiu Yue. At that time, the maidservant was still young when she came to Songfu with the eldest wife, so she did not serve in front of her. She had been responsible for the work of sweeping flowers and plants in the yard before. Later, after the death of the eldest lady, the maidservant, together with those who had come from Helian's house, was divided into the water room and other places by Mrs. Zhu. Today, it was also coincidental that I was called to the yard here to sweep it. Coincidentally, I could still let the maidservant see you..."
Zichu saw that her hands were very rough, and her clothes were also extremely simple. Her face had a kind of hardship and darkness of servants who had worked for many years, and tears came out of the corners of her eyes when she spoke. It seems that since Mrs. Helian died, she had followed her. The servants who got up to Songfu were indeed very unhappy and asked, "You said you were the dowry brought by my mother before her death, and the rest of the people? Are there still those people who are still working in Song Mansion?
The woman named Qiuyue choked and shook her head and said, "There are still a few sporadic people, but they are all working in the outer courtyard and can't enter the inner courtyard, let alone the wife and the front-end tea delivery. There are still a few waiters on the side of the side of the room. Two of them are in charge of the wife's dowry. Later, they were broken by Mrs. Zhu because of a mistake. Now they are also half dead, just dragging their breath without interruption. If the young lady wants to ask them to ask questions, I have found someone for you.
Zichu also wanted to open the gap from the people around Mrs. Helian, thinking that there would always be clues left. But helplessly, all the maids in this yard have been killed without a trace by Zhu Xiaoyan, or sold elsewhere, not even knowing their whereabouts or life or death. Only a few rough maids were sent to work hard. At the beginning, mulberry and cinnamon tried to inquire about it, but they never asked anything.
These situations are also consistent with the description of this autumn moon, and there is no discrepancy.
With a slight meditation, he asked, "Regardless of these people, let me ask you, since you were able to work in your wife's yard before, you are the children of Helian Mansion, right? Who are your parents? Are they all in the house now?
When she learned that Qiuyue was indeed the son of Helian Mansion, and although her parents had died, there was a brother and a younger brother who were working in Helian Mansion, she nodded and said very kindly to Qiuyue, "Well, when you were in front of your wife, you still remember the things before your wife died of illness. Love? For example, what do you like to eat, what kind of tea do you like to drink, and what styles of clothes do you like to wear? Do you have any special hobbies, such as listening to some music or what do you like to do?
As soon as Ye Heminglu heard this, he knew that Zichu was going to verify the identity of the other party and then continue to ask questions. She was bright-eyed and quick-handed, and immediately motioned Linglong and others to take Ning Wan out to play, and then pulled Song Ziqing to say that there were several things suitable for her. The little girl followed her with shining eyes, and before leaving, she also took Aunt Zhang, who had been silent.
As for Song Shi'an, Liu San got it to the front yard before, saying that the emperor had something to bring to him. In fact, it was just Liu San's cooperation with Zi for such a play. Anyway, he is the slave in front of the emperor. No matter what he says, Song Shi'an can only listen. Even a few casual words are enough for Song Shi'an to think about it for a long time.
In this compartment, after everyone retreated, Zichu sat down in the yard with a chair moved out by the previous bodyguard. She looked around and sighed, "The scenery in this yard is actually good. Are many flowers and trees still treasures brought from Helian Mansion? I don't think this southern tree can be bought by idle people to make landscape trees. You used to work in this yard, but you grew up watering the tree with one hand. Looking at it now, I think it's also very emotional!"
When Qiuyue heard the words, she also wiped the corners of her eyes and nodded, "Who said no? Miss, please take a good look. These southern trees in this yard are not only the treasures bought by Master Helian from Xiangluo in the southwest, but also these osmanthus flowers are rare green osmanthus. Now you can't see what's strange when it's not the time to bloom. In September, as soon as the buds of this tree bloom, the fragrance can be smelled ten miles away. Speaking of which, it is only a rich and noble family like our Helian Mansion to dowry so many rare treasures to our aunts. If it's the idle sons and daughters of officials, I'm afraid they haven't even heard of it! It can be seen how our eldest lady was favored and how precious she was. I just didn't expect that God is jealous of the beautiful woman, poor us, who hasn't even passed 30 years, and it's so fragrant!"
Who said no? Speaking of which, I feel unbearable heartache when I think of my miserable mother. Fortunately, I can meet you when I come back to worship. Come on, sit down and tell me about my mother's life.
Zichu said and did not enter the room, so he pulled Qiu Yue to sit down in front of him. Qiu Yue didn't dare. She got up and went to the inner room. Then she quickly moved out a mahogany black coffee table and pointed to the edge of the coffee table and said to Zichu, "Miss, look at this table, but it is engraved with something about you."
Zichu came over and took a look. Sure enough, he wrapped a thin layer of silver at the bottom right of the table. It is engraved with exquisite cloud patterns and a small regular script vaguely engraved.
When I got closer, I found that it was a small first word.
"Miss, this is the table used to grab Zhou on your first birthday. At that time, I heard that you grabbed a box of powder and a piece of jade. It is said that this means that you will be rich and noble when you grow up, you will be able to be loved by your husband, and you will be rich and prominent. Madam happily rewarded everyone in our yard with five taels of silver. Of course, the girls in the room got more money, but I remember clearly that these five taels of silver are not a small number!"
Zichu nodded, and there was a strange warmth in his eyes. She stroked the corner of the table and waved her to let everyone around her retreat. Only two guards stood in the distance, and she came over and asked, "I have something to do. I want you to tell me the truth. Before my mother died, she and my father... Is the relationship particularly bad? And Mrs. Zhu and Aunt Zhou, tell me what happened to these people in the first place.
