In May, just after late spring, the weather became eagerly hot.
The sun is shining hot on the land of Yanjing, and street vendors hide in the shade of the trees. In such a hot weather, the young masters and young ladies of the big family are impatient to go out and sunburn. Only the poor long-term laborers who do coolies carry the water in the well. The ice-cold rice wine soaked in it, I worked tirelessly through the big gambling shops and tea gardens, hoping that the thirsty people would spend five copper plates to buy a bowl, and then they would be able to buy an extra bag of rice, cook two more pots of porridge, and carry more. Three days to survive.
At the corner of the east of the city, there is such a brand-new mansion. The plaque hangs extremely high. The four characters "Zhuangyuan and No." are written in the middle, which is golden-this is the mansion and imperial plaque given to the Xinke champion by Emperor Hong Xiao. With extremely high glory. If a scholar can get such a piece, it is time for his family to cry to comfort their ancestors.
The brand-new house, the plaque given by the imperial court, and the rush of people in the courtyard, it was just a hot summer outside, but the house was whizzing coldly. Maybe the ice cubes were moved to the house to cool off the heat, but the more you walked to the side of the yard against the wall, the colder it became.
Three people were sitting outside the last room by the wall. Two young maids in pink skirts and a chubby middle-aged woman. On the stools in front of the three of them, there are a stack of red melon seeds and a pot of sour plum soup. The master must be at ease.
The maid on the far left looked back at the window and said, "It's hot, and the smell of medicine in this room can't escape. It's so uncomfortable. I really don't know when it was her head."
"Little hoof, talking about the lord behind my back," the older woman warned, "beware of the lord peeling your skin."
Fenyi’s maid disagreed: “Why? The master hasn’t been in the wife’s yard for three months.” She said, she lowered her voice, “It’s such a big mess, our master is kind and righteous, if we change someone else... "She curled her lips again, "If you want me to say it, just treat it as my own, and at any rate, I have all my fame, so that you can live without dragging down others."
The old lady had to talk, and the other maid said: "In fact, the lady is quite poor, she is so beautiful, she is good at learning, she has a good temper, who knew she would encounter such a thing..."
Although the voices of the three of them were lowered, but it was too quiet in the summer afternoon, and they were not far apart. They were clearly transmitted to the ears of the people in the room.
When she collapsed, Xue Fangfei lay on her back, half-dry with tears in the corners of her eyes. Because of the recent weight loss, a face not only hasn't been haggard and pale, but it has become more and more beautiful and beautiful, with a kind of thrilling and vivid.
Her face has always been beautiful, otherwise she would not be worthy of the title of Yanjing's No. 1 Beauty. On the day of her marriage, Yanjing's boring son told Qi'er to run into the sedan chair, his hijab was left, and the face was beautiful, and the people on both sides of the street were taught to look straight. At that time, her father, Xue Huaiyuan, the county prime minister of Tongxiang, Xiangyang, was worried before she married the capital, "Ari is so good, and Shen Yurong is afraid that he won't be able to protect you."
Shen Yurong is her husband.
Shen Yurong was just a poor talent before he got the top pick. Shen Yurong lives in Yanjing, and his grandmother and Mrs. Cao live in Xiangyang. Four years ago, Mrs. Cao died of illness. Shen Yurong and his mother returned to Xiangyang for the funeral and met Xue Fangfei.
Tongxiang is just a small county in Xiangyang City. Xue Huaiyuan was a small official. Xue Fangfei's mother died of dystocia when she gave birth to Xue Fangfei's younger brother Xue Zhao. After Xue's mother died, Xue Huaiyuan did not remarry. The family population was simple, only Xue Fangfei's brother and father depended on each other for life.
Xue Fangfei has also reached the age to be married. She has such a good appearance. The sons and brothers from far and away come to propose marriage, and there are even Xue Huaiyuan's bosses who want to take Xue Fangfei to fill the house. Xue Huaiyuan naturally refused. He lost his mother since childhood. Xue Huaiyuan loved his daughter extraordinarily. In addition, Xue Fangfei was clever and smart. Xue Huaiyuan had never been short of Xue Fangfei's food and drink since he was a child. As long as he can, Xue Fangfei must use the best. So even though the Xue family is just a small official's family, Xue Fangfei is more expensive than other ladies.
Xue Huaiyuan worries about her marriage with the daughter who is holding her grown up like a pearl like a treasure in her palm. The high-ranking family, of course, can't help but feel helpless, Xue Huaiyuan fell in love with Shen Yurong.
Although Shen Yurong is white, he is talented, and it will be a matter of time before he can get ahead. Only in this way, Xue Fangfei had to follow Shen Yurong to marry Yanjing. Another point is that Xue Fangfei is too beautiful, and Xue Huaiyuan is guarding him in Tongxiang. There are countless princes, grandsons and nobles in Yanjing. If there is evil intention, Shen Yurong may not be able to protect her.
But in the end Xue Fangfei married Shen Yurong because she liked it.
Married to Shen Yurong and came to Yanjing, although her mother-in-law was mean and she had many grievances, but Shen Yurong was considerate to her, so the dissatisfaction disappeared.
In the spring of last year, Shen Yurong High School champion, riding a horse parade, the emperor personally gave a plaque to the mansion, and soon he was appointed Zhongshu Shelang. In September, Xue Fangfei was also pregnant. On the birthday of Shen's mother, the double happiness came to the door.
That day was Xue Fangfei's nightmare.
She actually didn’t know what was going on. She just drank a little plum wine on the table and felt sleepy. She was stupefied by the maid and went back to the room to rest... When she was awakened by the screams, she saw that there were too many in the room. A strange man, and her clothes were disheveled, her mother-in-law and a group of female relatives were at the door, looking at her mockingly, disgustingly or gloating.
She should have no place to show herself, and she did indeed do that, but no matter how she explained, the story of the Xinke champion's wife stealing people in front of the house full of guests was passed on.
She should be abandoned and expelled from the house, but Shen Yurong didn't. She had a serious childbirth because of worries. When she was lying in bed, she heard that Xue Zhao rushed to Yanjing because of the incident. Before arriving at Shen's Mansion, she encountered robbers at night and was killed and abandoned in the river.
After hearing the bad news, she did not dare to pass the news back to Tongxiang. She forced herself to meet Xue Zhao for the last time, and took care of the funeral for him, and fell ill. Then, for the next three months, for three full months, Shen Yurong didn’t have it. Come meet her.
She was thinking wildly on the sick bed, Shen Yurong was separated in her heart, refused to see him, or deliberately coldly met her to vent her anger? The longer she could lie down, and the fragmented words in her servant's mouth, she also figured out some things, and the truth would never be more unsightly.
Xue Fangfei tried to sit up from the collapse, and the bowl of medicine beside the bed was already cold, only exuding a bitter aroma. She leaned over half of her body and poured the medicine from the medicine bowl into a basin of crabapples before the case. The crabapples had withered, leaving only the slender branches.
The door squeaked open.
Xue Fangfei raised his head, and what caught his eye was a corner of woven gold.
The young woman is luxuriously dressed, with slightly raised eyebrows, which brings out a bit of arrogance. His gaze fell on the medicine bowl in Xue Fangfei's hand, and a daze appeared on her face, and she smiled: "That's it."
Xue Fangfei calmly put down the bowl and watched the incoming people enter the house. Two sturdy servant women closed the door. The servant girl who was chatting outside was gone for some time. Only the cicadas cried from the quiet air, anxious. It seems that something is about to happen.
Xue Fangfei said: "Princess Yongning."
Princess Yongning smiled, she smiled, and a South Sea Pearl with the size of a thumb on the hairpin shook with it, and the shiny luster almost dazzled the human eye.
There is a pearl in the South China Sea and ten thousand acres of fertile land. The relatives and relatives of the emperor always use the best things. They are rich in clothes and food. They don't eat the hardships of the world. They have everything that others would not dare to imagine in their entire lives.
"You don't seem to be surprised at all." Princess Yongning wondered: "Could it be that Shen Lang has already told you?"
Shen Lang, she shouted so intimately, Xue Fangfei's throat was sweet, and she almost couldn't restrain it. After a while, she said calmly: "I'm waiting, waiting for him to tell me."
Xue Fangfei is not stupid at all, Xue Huaiyuan taught her very cleverly. Since she fell ill, and since she found out that she was under house arrest, every move was monitored, she contacted the cause, including the cause of Xue Zhao's death, and noticed something was wrong.
She learned from the servant woman's mouth, she knew it.
Shen Yurong's senior high school champion, a young man with aspirations, his status is no better than before. She Xue Fangfei is a daughter of a county prince even though she has both talents and looks. Shen Yurong got the blue eyes of Princess Yongning, maybe they have been darkened. In short, she Xue Fangfei has become a stumbling block and wants to make room for the golden princess.
Xue Fangfei remembered the day when the accident happened, the day when Mother Shen hosted the guests, Princess Yongning was also among the crowd, and when she recalled, she could even remember the triumphant smile on the corner of Princess Yongning's lips.
At this point the truth comes to light.
"Shen Lang is soft-hearted," Princess Yongning sat down in a chair indifferently and looked at her, "My palace is not a cruel person, originally, I want to make you perfect, but who knows you are not willing to be kind," she He glanced at the medicine bowl on the table and sighed: "Why are you?"
Xue Fangfei couldn't help but sneer.
With a bowl of medicine every day, she had long noticed that it was wrong, so she poured all the medicine into the flowerpot. They wanted her to "die", so it was logical to let Princess Yongning marry in, but she refused. Xue Huaiyuan told her since she was a child that she must not survive until the last moment. Besides, why? Why did the adulterer and the adulterer set up her to frame her, but wanted her to take the initiative to die? She never!
There were countless ridicules in Xue Fangfei's voice. She said: "The princess's "kindness" has been taught by the princess.
Princess Yongning became angry for a moment, but for a moment, she calmed down again, stood up, walked to the table, and picked up the withered crabapple. The begonia flowerpot is only as big as a palm, and the fine white porcelain is engraved with prosperity, exquisite and lovely. Princess Yongning played with the flowerpot and said with a smile: "Do you know how your brother died?"
Xue Fangfei's back stiffened for an instant!
"Your brother is a person, he is younger and more vigorous." Princess Yongning admired her expression, "I was able to find out what was wrong, but he really found some evidence and said he wanted to sue the imperial court. Even the palace is tired." Princess Yongning patted her chest, as if she was a little afraid, "He is also considered smart and found Jing Zhaoyin overnight, but he didn't know that Jing Zhaoyin had a good relationship with me, so I should tell you about it. With me." Princess Yongning spread her hands, and said regretfully: "It's a pity, at a young age, my palace is not bad at looking at Wen Tao and martial arts. If it weren't for this, it might be the life of a wife, it's a pity. "
Xue Fangfei almost broke his teeth!
Xue Zhao! Xue Zhao! She had long suspected that Xue Zhao's death had something strange. Xue Zhao studied martial arts in Tongxiang with Master Boxing and Foot. But she never expected that the truth was so! His brother wanted to come to hold the injustice for her. He found out the beginning and the end of Princess Yongning and Shen Yurong. He was full of blood, thinking that he had found an official and wanted to sue an official. Who knows that the official protects each other, the enemy is the official!
She said: "Shameless! Shameless!"
Princess Yongning's Liu eyebrows were erected, and then she sneered: "How about you? How about you? I never go out here every day. I am afraid I don't know the news of your father. This palace specially came to tell you that your father has now learned that you have ruined the house. I also know that your brother was killed by robbers, and he was furious!"
Xue Fangfei was taken aback, and cried out: "Impossible!"
"Impossible?" Princess Yongning smiled: "You might as well go out and ask the maid to see if it's possible!"
Xue Fangfei was in a mess, and Xue Huaiyuan was indifferent to fame and fortune. He was clearly a good man in Tongxiang County's Qingming life. How could he end up like this? The white-haired man sent the black-haired man to death, and he was even furious. Xue Fangfei didn't even dare to think about how Xue Huaiyuan felt after learning about it.
This is, killing and setting fire to the gold belt, repairing the bridge and repairing the road without corpses!
Princess Yongning talked for a long time, seemingly impatient, put the basin of begonia on the table casually, and motioned for the two servant women to come forward.
Xue Fangfei realized something and said loudly: "What are you going to do?"
Princess Yongning’s smile was cheerful and proud. She said: "You Xue Fangfei has a high moral character and an unparalleled appearance. Of course, you can’t bear the charge of fornicating with others. These months have been struggling, although Shen Lang has treated you as well. In the past, you were unwilling to forgive yourself. You committed suicide while Shen Lang was not in the house." That's all, she chuckled, "How about it? Does this statement have all your face?" She changed again. A face, a little bit fiercely said: "If it weren't for the reputation of Chen Lang, this palace wouldn't teach you to live well like this!"
"How dare you? How dare you!" Xue Fangfei's heart was filled with anger, but before she moved, the two servant women set off to suppress her.
"My palace and Shen Lang are in good agreement, but unfortunately there is you, of course this palace cannot tolerate you. If you are the daughter of a high-ranking family, this palace may have to spend some trouble. Unfortunately, your father is just a small county prime minister. In many counties in Yanjing, you belong to the Xue family, but it’s nothing but grass. In the next life, remember to weigh and weigh before reincarnation, and be born in the family of daughters.
Xue Fangfei was desperate, she refused to give up, staying on her breath, seizing her vitality and hoping to turn over, she had no way of extinction, but she couldn't fight against power and oppression, she couldn't fight high and low!
When I raised my eyes, I saw a familiar figure outside the window, vaguely identifying the person next to the pillow.
There was another glimmer of hope in Xue Fangfei's heart, and she shouted: "Shen Yurong! Shen Yurong, you treat me like this, heaven is intolerable! Shen Yurong!"
The figure outside the window swayed, avoiding as if fleeing. Princess Yongning cursed: "What are you doing in a daze? Do it!"
The servant woman rushed over, and the snow-white silk strangled her neck. The silk was as smooth as a beautiful woman's skin. It was a tribute sent to the palace by the Songjiang Zhao family every year, and a horse was worth a thousand dollars. When Xue Fangfei was struggling, she thought that it was a weapon for murder and arson, and it was so precious.
Princess Yongning stood three feet away, staring at her struggling like a dying fish, and mocked: "Remember, you are the only one who has such a beautiful face. You are only the daughter of a small official. After all, this palace is crushed to death. You—it's as easy as crushing an ant!"
The pot of crabapples was knocked down while she was struggling, fell to the ground and fell to pieces. The flower mud in the flowerpot was full of bitter aroma, the withered branches fell out, and the painted painting was incomplete.
Fangfei is gone in April on earth.
