Ninety-sixth bowl of soup (6)
After that, Xie He didn't go to Luomei Garden again, and the two arresters who were monitoring Yinshuang came back to report and said that Yinshuang hadn't changed. Isn't this a ghost? Could it be that what Yinshuang said is true, that she and Sun Shilang are really in a pure platonic relationship
Xie He didn't know what a platonic love affair was. This was what Qing Huan said. He habitually memorized it and learned to say it habitually.
Seeing that the clues were about to be interrupted again, Yinshuang actually showed up in Kyoto Mansion to ask for an interview two days later!
After Xie He met her, Yinshuang explained the reason for her visit. She came here for Little Pomegranate, because she had been living in Luomei Garden before and didn't care about world affairs, so she didn't know that Little Pomegranate was found back. No, I just found out yesterday, and I came to the door today, saying that I want to meet Little Pomegranate, after all, this is the orphan of Mr. Shi Lang. Xie He didn't know what kind of medicine she was selling in the gourd, but this person seemed very sincere and urgent, and after obtaining Master Yang's consent, he took Yinshuang to the courtyard where Qing Huan lived.
At first sight, Yinshuang realized that the handsome young master was actually a girl. But she didn't put her mind on Qing Huan, but went straight to see Little Pomegranate.
The milk baby looks different every day, and has grown up a bit, and it can be seen that his eyebrows are similar to his parents. Yinshuang stared blankly for a while, then burst into tears. She stretched out her hand timidly, afraid of being rejected: "I, can I hug him?"
As a result, little pomegranate looked at her outstretched hand for a few seconds, then turned her head and hid it in Qing Huan's neck. Although he was young and didn't remember much about that night, he still had a shadow of fear of strangers in his heart.
Yinshuang showed disappointment, and Xie He felt a sense of absurdity when he saw this. Seeing Yinshuang's sincerity towards little pomegranate... Could it be that little pomegranate is her child? If this is the case, then it can explain why Sun Shilang went to see her every half a month and gave her money back!
He swallowed his doubts, and Yinshuang stayed with her for a while, and Xiao Shiliu was no longer wary of her, so he was willing to let her hug her. She hugged the little pomegranate and murmured something in a low voice, Xie He was far away and couldn't hear clearly, but when she returned the little pomegranate to Qing Huan, Yinshuang was reluctant to part.
Then the arrester quickly came to report that the concubine Shizi had come again, this time alone.
The so-called one person means that there are no princes, but there are still a lot of women and maids around him. After all, they are princes and concubines with noble status and cannot be like ordinary people. So compared with her, Yinshuang, who is alone, looks... extraordinarily shabby.
They only met once from a distance, and Yinshuang avoided them and left through the back door. Her status was lowly, and it would be bad for the class leader to be seen going in and out of the capital.
The imperial concubine came to ask about the progress of the case again, but Xie He felt that her main purpose was Little Pomegranate.
After finally sending the big Buddha away, Qing Huan came to him with the little pomegranate in his arms, and told him that he might have checked the wrong direction.
"Huh?" Xie He didn't understand, what does it mean to go in the wrong direction
Qing Huan said: "Did you hear what she said when Yinshuang hugged little pomegranate just now?"
"It's too far away, and she whispered, so I can't hear it clearly." Xie He's heart trembled, "Could it be that she is really Little Pomegranate's mother?"
Qing Huan: "... what are you talking about?"
Seeing her bewildered expression, Xie He knew that what he guessed was definitely not what she wanted to say. Sure enough, what Qing Huan wanted to say was: "I heard her calling herself aunt to Little Pomegranate."
"Is there any problem with this?" Xie He was at a loss.
"If she was Little Pomegranate's mother, she would call herself a mother in the arms of her own child. If she wasn't, given her relationship with Sun Shilang, she wouldn't be able to call herself Auntie. If she called herself Auntie, she was speaking on Madam Sun's side." of! So say..."
"So it's true that she has nothing to do with Sun Shilang, because it's Mrs. Sun who has something to do with her?" Xie He thought it was amazing. "But what role does Sun Shilang play in this? Yinshuang is Mrs. Sun's younger sister?"
"Madam Sun's life experience, have you found out?"
"She is the daughter of Mr. Sun Shilang's benefactor, and her family background is clean. When will there be a younger sister who is an actress?" Xie He felt that the relationship between this group of people was getting more and more complicated. "Although Mrs. Sun's natal family is not a high-ranking aristocrat, it is also considered a scholarly family. How can I let my daughter be reduced to prostitution?"
He felt that it was futile to think about it. If he wanted to know the answer, he could just ask Mrs. Sun's parents. But after this investigation, it was surprising. It turned out that Mrs. Sun's parents were not from the local area. When Mrs. Sun married into the Sun family, the couple had already moved back to their hometown.
Even Sun Shilang is not from Kyoto. He was a Jinshi in the imperial examination in the tenth year of Tianqing, and he settled in the capital after that. Not long after, his cousin, who is now the eldest concubine, regretted her marriage and married into the palace. He also married another family and never contacted his hometown again. . It is said that both parents died, and there are no familiar relatives and friends in my hometown anymore.
That's not bad, but looking at it after the Sun family was wiped out, it feels a little strange.
The origin of Sun Shilang's household registration is clear, as is Mrs. Sun's, but where did Yinshuang come from? She called herself aunt to Little Pomegranate, which meant she was a relative on Mrs. Sun's side, but Mrs. Sun was an only daughter, wasn't she? "After the massacre of the Sun family, I sent someone to notify Sun Shilang's father-in-law and mother-in-law. They will arrive soon. When they arrive, we may know why."
Mrs. Sun's maiden name is Yu. Master Yu runs a private school and is very famous in his hometown, especially Sun Shilang, who lost his father when he was young and his mother remarried. The old people come to enjoy the blessing. But I don't know why, after Sun Shilang married the husband's daughter, the husband and wife moved back to their hometown.
Xie He asked about these strange things, and Mr. Yu sighed. Although he was over sixty years old, he was still able to see and hear. My daughter is not my own daughter, but an adopted daughter. Chongan is in love with her, but she is an orphan, and Chongan is afraid of wronging her, so he asks my husband and wife to consider her as an adopted daughter. field marriage."
Chong'an is Sun Shilang's name, which was given by Mr. Yu. For the childless couple, Sun Shilang is their child. Now that Sun Shilang is dead, only little pomegranate is left. They hope to take little pomegranate back to take care of them.
Qing Huan is a girl who has never been out of the court, and Xie He has also married, so it is not suitable for anyone to raise the little pomegranate.
In other words, Madam Sun's origin has once again become a mystery.
Who she is, I'm afraid only Sun Shilang and herself know.
Up to now, I still have to ask Yinshuang. Only Yinshuang knows the identity of Mrs. Sun.
Xie He and Qing Huan went to Luomei Garden again, and when they learned that Mrs. Sun's parents were here, Yinshuang was taken aback for a moment, then understood, but she didn't understand Xie He's question: "How can I know such a woman?" My lord, what is my identity, how can I compare with the girl from a scholarly family? Someone who calls herself aunt or something... Mr. Xie misunderstood, right?"
"Really?" Qing Huan said, "It doesn't matter if Mrs. Sun dies with her eyes open and redressed her injustice? In my opinion, the two of you should be sisters in love. The husband and wife are so kind, but they refuse to tell the truth and hunt down the murderer for Master Xie, are you worthy of Mrs. Sun?"
Yinshuang lowered her head, making her expression unclear: "I don't know anything, I don't know her at all."
Xie He wanted to ask again, but was stopped by Qing Huan. At first glance, Yinshuang could not tell the truth, so instead of asking Yinshuang, he might as well ask other people.
The so-called other people are old people who have been in Luomeiyuan for more than ten years. Most of these opera singers are old and can no longer perform on stage, but the master of the troupe is nice and has left a meal for them. When asked about Yinshuang, their answers were surprisingly consistent.
Young actors may not know it, but these older actors are deeply impressed. When Yinshuang was sold in by her family back then, she was thin and small, she didn't dare to speak loudly, she looked like a quail. It was Huadan Jinling, the head of the house at that time, who thought she was pitiful and kept her by her side. Later, the relationship between the two became better and better. Jin Ling taught Yinshuang to sing in person. Later, Jinling died of illness, and Yinshuang never appeared on stage again, and was gradually forgotten. Now that several years have passed, Huadan The update is fast, who will remember it.
In the same batch of actors back then, some left on their own after earning enough money, and some were redeemed by guests, and there were very few of Jin Ling's batch of actresses left.
But there are still people who remember that Yinshuang was Jin Ling's little follower back then. Her older sister was older and her younger sister was short. Stay for plain rice.
These people didn't know about Sun Shilang and Yinshuang.
Xie He went to see the head teacher again. The class leader is old, and when he heard someone ask about Jin Ling, his words flickered: "Dead... just died of illness. I have done my best, and I helped her to bury her. What do you mean by asking, Mr. Xie?"
"Where is Jin Ling buried?" Xie He stared at him coldly. "I suspect that Jinling died strangely. Tell me where the grave is, and I'll ask Wu Zuo to go and see it."
"Master Xie, what are you talking about? Jin Ling is an actress. No matter how valuable she is when she is alive, she is worthless when she is dead. How can I remember where she is buried?" "The small one is a small business, and it has finally gained a firm foothold. Thank you, Sir, please do your best, so don't hold on to the small one."
"The class leader might as well tell me, what kind of illness did Jin Ling die of?"
