sunset forbidden city 吳啟泰 12180Words 2023-02-05
Rong Qing quietly returned to Beijing, only to find that despite the great changes in the world, the tall blue-gray Forbidden City is still as impenetrable as before, and under the golden tiled roof and crimson palace walls, there are still woven mysterious story. Nine years have passed.All the old relationships in the palace were gone.My uncle was so old that he bent his back.Don't talk about things in the palace, even the things around you are talked about before and left behind.Yuanliu and Chashuizhang could not be found either.In short, the high walls of the Forbidden City blocked all his clues.He went back to the ancestral house in the countryside, met his mother, settled in her old man's house, and returned to the city again, wandering around like a headless chicken all day long, hoping for a miracle.

A whole month passed without any miracle. One day, he passed by the time-honored pawn shop at West Fourth Street.Looking at the bustling pawn shop, remembering that he met Xiao Huihui twice here, he stopped involuntarily.He found that the place was more lively than before, the difference was that not only the children of everyone came in and out, but also many blond foreigners, many of them Japanese came in and out here.The reason why so many foreigners come here is that this pawn shop has always been in close contact with the court eunuchs, and many of the stolen goods stolen by the eunuchs, or the treasures that were searched around, were sold from here.He went into the pawn shop and found a shopkeeper who was in charge. Without saying a word, he immediately took out a banknote of one hundred taels of silver and asked him about an eunuch named Wang Huihui.Seeing that he was generous, the man thought that he must be trying to resell the treasures in the palace through the prince, so he told him the address outside the palace without hesitation.

On a warm spring afternoon, Xiao Hui sat in the grand master's chair in the main room, with one leg crossed, holding a long-tube copper hookah stolen from the palace in his hand, smoking while sipping tea.He is no longer the little Hui Hui he used to be, he is now the eunuch in the respect room.This errand is not only leisurely, but also has power in his hands. In addition, he is an old man next to Lafayette, and Longyu has become the empress dowager, so he naturally looks at him differently.Lafayette is gone, and the rules in the palace are much looser than before, so he shipped the goods for Li Lianying in the past, and now it is his turn to collect the cash for himself.No, he built a courtyard with three courtyards outside the palace, with dozens of rooms inside and outside, several servants, and even asked for a wife as a display.

He looked at the puffs of smoke he exhaled, and his eyes fell on the exquisitely shaped German-made chime clock on the long case, feeling very happy in his heart.This was rewarded by Empress Dowager Longyu, worth hundreds of taels of silver.From this precious clock, I thought of Yin'er. When she lived in Jingren Palace, Lafayette specially admired a self-ringing clock that was about the same size as this one.If nothing happened to her, her son would be the emperor by now, and she would be the empress dowager, and he would not be worth as much as he is now, at least Cui Yugui's role as the chief executive must belong to him.

Prince!There is a guest to see you.The male servant hurried into the main room. not see!Xiaohui waved his hand without turning his head. See you if you don't see it!The guest following behind the male servant suddenly appeared in front of Xiao Huihui. Rong Rong's bodyguard!Xiao Hui was dumbfounded, and it took him a long time to recover.He jumped up from the chair at once, gave way to him respectfully, and asked the servant to serve tea. Didn't expect that?Rong Qing smiled, looked at the furnishings in the main room, and before he came here, he had heard the introduction of his situation from the shopkeeper, so he knew that he had earned a lot of shady money.Time flies so fast, the first time I saw him, he was only fourteen years old, and he became an adult in a blink of an eye, at least twenty-six years old, and now he is about thirty years old.

You are so aggressive, you left us all there!As soon as the servant left, Xiao Huihui immediately looked at Rong Qing, seeing that he was well-dressed, he seemed to be doing well abroad, I heard that you married Princess Rui from the Wang family? Yin'er is still in the palace?He didn't care about chatting with Xiao Huihui, and went straight to the point. Forget it!Xiao Huihui sighed deeply, every time he thinks of this matter, he can't express his heartfelt heart. Seeing that she has become the master, I also drink the soup. I sold it myself.If you don't get confused, it will be over.

I ask you how is she now?He interrupted each other. What else?It would be a blessing to be able to survive. She is still in the palace?he asked. She is no longer in the palace.Xiaohui squeaked back and forth.He scares Yin'er and his affairs, and it's not good to get involved with them in everything. Where is she then?He pressed on. Anyway, it's been more than half a year, so I don't know where it is. What about the tea chapter?He is in a hurry. Tea chapter?Xiao Hui frowned. It was Zhang Deshun.I used to serve the emperor and I entrusted him to deliver a message to Yin'er.

He, don't mention it.Xiaohuihui is Chashuizhang's apprentice, so he doesn't know Chashuizhang.When he entered the palace to deliver a message to Yin'er, it was the letter he reported to Lafayette.At this moment, he can't figure out Rong Qing's background, but there is one thing, there is no enmity with him.In this case, he has already felt sorry for Mr. Zhang once, and it doesn't matter if he feels sorry again. died?His heart sank. You think about it better. The Forbidden City is like an iron barrel, can you run away? Don't play tricks on me, just tell me what you have.

You ask him does he dare to see you?He is afraid that you will eat him alive! Why should I?You are human!Rong Qing felt that something was wrong, and felt that there was something interesting in what he said.He married a wife.Xiao Hui walked around the circle unhurriedly. You can marry a daughter-in-law, but he can't marry a daughter-in-law?He smiled and breathed a sigh of relief. That's different, he married a court lady.You still don't understand?This time, Lun Xiaohui couldn't hold his breath anymore. Whoever she likes to marry has nothing to do with me, I just want to find out about Yin'er.

I said Guard Rong, why can't you figure it out?Xiao Hui blushed and yelled thickly, why didn't you ask, who did Cha Shuizhang marry? who?He was taken aback for a moment, and asked sullenly. Who do you want me to send a message to?Xiao Hui asked back. You mean Yin'er?He thought he had heard it wrong, a ball of hot blood rushed up, and his face was as red as a pig's liver. I didn't call names.Xiaohui returned to the truth and said it, in order to deliberately provoke him, You fart! Rong Qing stepped forward and grabbed Xiao Hui by the collar. Xiao Hui was in a hurry and said that I didn't marry your wife again. No matter where he lived, he had to kill him.Xiao Huihui remained silent for a long time, and when he finished scolding, Xiao Huihui suddenly said to him in a mature and solemn way:

There is a knife on the heart.You have to bear it, take a step back and open up the sea and the sky! I can't stand it!He jumped into a rage, and Xiao Hui hurriedly waved his hands in fright. Why don't you understand this?After he dies, Miss Yin will still be yours! It seemed that Xiao Hui was superficial, and there was nothing wrong with what he said, but to him, it was like thunder in a sunny day, and his heart couldn't help shaking.The other party clearly hinted to him that Yin'er was his after the tea chapter died.In other words, he can only get Yin'er if Chashui Zhang dies.He stood there blankly, his hands tightly clenched into a ball by his thighs, and he was silent for a long time. He suddenly roared and hit the coffee table with his fist. It exploded, and the teapot and cup on it flew high and fell to the ground in a mess. Chashuizhang went to Li Lianying early in the morning, and wanted him to help him find a job outside. After the death of Lafayette, Li Lianying resigned from the post of manager and moved from the palace to a private house in Huangzhuang.After Cui Yugui became the general manager, he opened the vacancy of the foreigner in the Chashuizhang Palace. In order to support the family, he went to Li Lianying for help.Mr. Li knows a lot of people, and it is easy for him to introduce him as an errand in which palace.Yin'er persuaded him, saying that he was old and in poor health, so he should not go out to look for work.He refused, saying that he was used to being a slave all these years, and his health would be even worse when he was idle.He said so, but in his heart he was afraid that Yin'er would be wronged by following him, so he insisted on going out to find a job. After Cha Shuizhang left, she was washing clothes in the yard, when Xiao Huihui suddenly came and told her the amazing news that Rong Qing had returned from Japan.When she first heard the news of his return, her heart almost jumped out of her throat.When she calmed down and thought about it carefully, her heart was suddenly in a mess, not knowing what to do.Especially when Xiao Huihui told him that Rong Qing hadn't gotten married all these years and was waiting for her wholeheartedly.When I heard that he was still single, I was even more confused.It's been eight years now, and I thought how could he marry a daughter-in-law and start a family, but I didn't expect him to be so stubborn.She was so anxious that she couldn't help crying. Xiao Hui told her not to cry, and told her to make up her mind as soon as possible. Can I have any idea?She asked back inexplicably. I beg the Empress Dowager Longyu to issue an order to separate you from Uncle Zhang. This is Lafayette's decree, and she is afraid that she will not agree.Besides, I am no longer in the palace, and I can't ask for it. That's true.It seems that unless Uncle Zhang is impermanent, you will become a widow in a serious manner at that time, and no one can stop you from remarrying.In order to taboo in the palace, death is called impermanence.When Xiao Huihui said this, it was obviously a metaphor for something. What nonsense are you talking about?As soon as Xiao Huihui talked about death and immortality, she suddenly felt frightened. Even if I didn't say anything, you can grow old with him forever.As for Rong Qing, what should he do?Before Xiao Hui Hui left, he went to the gate of the courtyard and said: If you come to your senses and want to find Rong Qing, you can go to my place, or to his uncle's house. She was stunned for a while, then dried her hands with the apron on her waist, and chased all the way out the door. Xiao Huihui had already disappeared.She stood there, looking at the empty alley, her heart seemed to be stuck in a mess, and she couldn't figure out a clue. She went back to the yard, dried the clothes in a hurry, and stood there in a daze with a dazed expression.Over the years, she has not had any news of Rong Qing.At the beginning, she was indescribably anxious and terrified, as long as she thought of him, she would be paralyzed and unable to do anything. Later, this anxiety gradually turned into a kind of helplessness, like a ball of ashes, which she couldn't hold back or let go.Later, she seemed to get used to it. Missing him was like a misty smoke, saying that she couldn't forget it, and she couldn't think about it anymore. However, just when she had accepted this world without him, he just appeared It made the almost forgotten longing for Rong Qing in the bottom of her heart suddenly surge up like a flood. She took out the kit containing her hair from the bottom of the suitcase and looked at it carefully. The black hair was a little yellow and dull.She left it for him as a souvenir, and later he handed it back to her with a tea badge.Looking at the kit in her hand, thinking about what Xiao Hui said just now, the lively thing in her heart suddenly tightened, and the two lung lobes were like the dying wings of a bird, sticking heavily to her stone-like cold body. In the chest cavity.Facing the fact that Rong Qing returned suddenly, she really didn't know what to do for a while.After much deliberation, she felt that neither the left nor the right, nor the front nor the back.Thinking of the end, my mind went blank. When Cha Shuizhang returned home, he told her excitedly that Mr. Li would find a good family for him, and that he would work as an internal servant in a certain prince's house, with a monthly allowance of forty taels of silver.It's not tiring, and the income is pretty good. I also bring a set of winter and summer uniforms.She fetched a basin of hot water for him and asked him to wash his face and hands.He said happily, picked up the towel and put it in the basin, it was so hot that he almost didn't cry out, and the water splashed all over his face.It turned out that there was boiling water in the basin, and I forgot to add cold water.She hurriedly asked if he was hot, and added cold water for him.He said nothing.After washing his face, he sat down at the square table as usual, waiting for dinner. What's delicious tonight?In order to ease the atmosphere, he had nothing to say. I am so busy that I am dizzy.She suddenly came back to her senses, hurriedly put on her apron and stretched it out, and she hasn't bothered to cook until now!What would you like to eat today?Pancakes or noodles? Yin'er, is something on your mind?As soon as he entered the door, he found that she was in a trance, but he didn't point it out. In fact, he also had thoughts in his heart.Today, I went to Huang Zhuang to be the housekeeper Li, and I heard from Li Lianying that someone saw Rong Qing come back. No.She tried to hide it, kneading the dough with her hands. Have guests over at our house?He found a pot of tea on the coffee table. Forgot to tell you, Xiao Hui is back.She felt guilty, wondering if she should tell him about Rong Qing. What is he doing here?He was a little puzzled.It's okay, I passed by here and sat down for a while. He hasn't forgotten us yet?He thought to himself that Xiao Huihui had made a fortune, and even got his wife, so how could he value him now. She didn't answer, and carried the dough in the clay pot into the kitchen. He looked at her back, wondering if it was Xiao Hui who told her about Rongqing. Xiao Hui worked as a foreigner in the respect room and knew people outside Many, the ears are so long, maybe he already knows that Rong Qing is back.He sat there, smoking a pipe of cigarettes, until Yin'er put the food on the table, and then sat down facing her.He was hungry, so he ate two pieces of pancakes and drank a big bowl of Xiaohe porridge, then wiped his mouth comfortably, and finally told her that someone had seen Rong Qing. Yeah?Her heart trembled, who did she listen to? My uncle told me.The elderly people in the palace all called Li Lianying that.When this situation was mentioned, he seemed very excited. I originally wanted to find Yuan Liu and ask him to help me find out.Because it was too late, I had to go again tomorrow.If Rong Qing really came back, he must be found as soon as possible. Him, what if he comes back?Don't you have to do this? Didn't it be agreed at the beginning that as soon as he comes back, I will fulfill you.He was very sincere. never mind.It was at the beginning, and now she raised her eyelids, looking at Cha Shuizhang, who was more than twenty years older than her. In fact, I had already thought about it, and I would not spend time with him when he came back. No, no, it's not easy for you two, you have been waiting for your opponent for almost thirteen years, and even I am anxious to watch! I'm telling the truth, over the years, I've gotten used to the bitterness in her heart.In the past, she and President Rong Qing had no chance to be together, but now that she had a chance, she suddenly realized that things were not that simple.Chashuizhang and Rongqing, she couldn't let go of either of these two. Never say that.Don't worry, I'll find someone to inquire about it.He put down his chopsticks and stood up from the table.She called to him. No need to go.Like you said, he's back. real?He stared at her excitedly. Xiao Huihui met him. Yeah, that would be great.I will go to him tomorrow. He said so, but he felt empty in his heart for no reason.Although he had been mentally prepared for a long time, after so many years, there was no news of Rong Qing, and the thought often popped up in his heart that Rong Qing would not come back.The longer I spent with her, the stronger this idea became.Sometimes he scolded himself in his heart that he shouldn't have such thoughts, but when he was with her, especially at night, the two of them were talking under the lamp, listening to the sound of the wind and rain outside the window, thinking that one day she would suddenly disappear, and the house He was the only one left, he couldn't imagine what it would be like! You are not allowed to find him.she says. Why?He doesn't understand. No reason, you are not allowed to find him anyway!she said seriously. I must go!He is also serious. Deshun, believe me, there will be no results if you go there.This is a predestined fate in the previous life. If you insist on resisting the fate, there will be no results in the end. The woman's intuition told her that when he comes back this time, there will be trouble.She didn't know what was going on, anyway, as soon as the two of them got in touch, there must be something going on, so she didn't want Cha Shui Zhang to get involved. Shocked by something in her tone, he half-opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a while. Looking at the honest tea chapter, she felt an indescribable sadness in her heart.Habit is also a kind of strength. Although she and Cha Shuizhang didn't have that kind of relationship between men and women, and it is impossible to have it, after all, the two have been together for a long time, almost eight years.Not to mention people, even dogs and cats will have indescribable family affection after a long time, not to mention that he has been kind to her and helped her overcome difficulties one after another.Now that he was getting old and his health was getting worse, even though she was very, very eager to be with Rong Qing, she still couldn't imagine that she would abandon him and leave him alone in this world.Besides, although Lafayette is dead, the Qing Dynasty is still there, and the statutory fact that she is the wife of Cha Shui Zhang will never change.She had recited the title of eunuch's wife, even if Cha Shui Zhang was willing to let her go, what would Rong Qing think?Even if he doesn't dislike her, what do his family, his relatives, and the people around him think of her? Chashuizhang lay on the kang all night without closing his eyes. In the face of the lover he has loved deeply for many years, Yin'er actually chose him, a useless man with six uneven legs. No matter what her reasons are, this is the greatest blessing in his life.Not to mention that he is a eunuch, he is a man from a good family. To meet such a wise, kind and warm woman is also a blessing from his previous life.The more she treated him like this, the more he felt sorry for her.He remembered what she had said to him many years ago: Uncle Zhang!Didn't you kill me for the rest of my life!He couldn't be with him alive, and he couldn't be buried in their graveyard after death.At this moment, he really understood what she meant.But it never occurred to him that he was harming her by being alive. Although there were many other reasons for the obstacle between her and Rong Qing, his existence was the biggest obstacle.Knowing this, he was very depressed, but at the same time he felt an indescribable happiness.After all, there is someone in this world who values ​​him so much, and this person is a rare good person in the world, and she is an outstanding woman.She is willing to sacrifice herself for him, so I can't do anything for her? After much deliberation, he finally came up with a solution. Today is Yin'er's mother's birthday, and she left the city early in the morning.He had promised to send her back to the countryside to see her mother, but he lied to her that his back hurt badly.She knew that this was the root cause of his illness in the palace, and she didn't suspect it, so she left alone. In fact, he found Xiao Huihui yesterday, and asked him to find a way to find Rong Rong, saying that he wanted to meet him, and that he was alone. Waiting for him at home. He bought a few dishes of cold dishes from the street, set out wine, and waited for Rong Qing while drinking tea.After waiting for a long time, no one came.He was in a hurry, thinking that Xiao Huihui might not have brought a message.Thinking about it, he felt it was wrong, Xiao Huihui agreed at the time, saying that Rong Qing'er would come in the morning.When the sun was on the ridge of the roof, he couldn't stand it any longer, so he opened the courtyard door anxiously, wanting to go out to see if there was any movement from Rong Qing.He just opened the courtyard door.I saw a man in his early thirties standing outside the door. Even though he hadn't seen him for many years, he still recognized him at a glance. Rong guard!He called each other in surprise. Eunuch Zhang!Long gone.Rong Qing smiled, he didn't expect him to age so quickly. Come on, come on in!I've been here waiting for you.He excitedly welcomed Rong Qing into the courtyard gate, led him into the main room, and sighed repeatedly, "I didn't expect, I didn't expect to see you again look!It has been prepared a long time ago, and the food and wine are ready-made.Rong Qing walked into the main room and saw that there were food and wine on the table, he put a can of expensive Shaoxing rice wine on the table, and said happily: "Look, this is the real Nurhong!" Great, great!I asked Xiao Huihui to give you a message, just to drink a few cups with you, talk, and clean up the dust for you.He asked Rong Qing to sit down at the square table, and then sat down opposite him. Yin'er isn't there?Rong Qing asked the question knowingly.Not only did he know that she was not at home, but he also knew that she didn't plan to leave the Cha Shui Zhang and go to Japan with him.At first Xiao Huihui told him that he didn't believe him, and after several days, Yin'er not only didn't go to Xiao Huihui, but also went to the second uncle's house to look for him.Later, he asked Xiaohui to return to the trustee to take a message to her and proposed to meet her, but he didn't expect her to refuse to meet him.Only then did he feel that something was wrong, and he felt unspeakable grievance and resentment. He didn't know what she was thinking. He had been waiting for her abroad for so many years, and he never married Little Gege. It was because of her. Now that he came back, she didn't want to go to Japan with him, and she even avoided him. He meets.In fact, he didn't know, Yin'er didn't want to meet him, but she didn't dare to meet him, fearing that when she saw him, she couldn't help but change her mind again, and in the end she would be sorry for Old Uncle Zhang. Back to the countryside, come back tomorrow.I want to tell you what's on my mind while she's not here.Chashuizhang poured the Shaoxing rice wine he brought into a tin pot, put it in a basin and heated it with boiling water, poured a cup for Rong Qing first, then filled it up for himself, and said to Rong Qing with emotion: All these years, Yin'er has I wish you so much! Isn't it good for him to marry you?Rong Qing said ironically, forced a smile on his face, and cursed viciously in his heart, don't do this with me, occupy my daughter-in-law for so many years, and say such foolish things again.He raised his wine glass, by the way, he hasn't congratulated you yet. Congratulations?what hi?Cha Shui Zhang blinked his eyes in confusion. Lafayette proposed marriage for you, why is it not happy? See what you said, I am a eunuch, can I get married?There was no way at that time, otherwise Yin'er and I would have died!Cha Shuizhang's heart sank, not knowing what Rong Qing meant, he hurriedly talked about the situation at that time, especially emphasizing that he did it out of necessity to survive. Come, no matter what wine, I will toast you first!Rong Qing listened absently.In fact, he had heard Xiaohui talk about the situation earlier, but the version was different, but the meaning was the same after all.To him, what happened in the past is not important, what is important is now, Cha Shuizhang is not only Yin'er's nominal husband, but also an obstacle between him and Yin'er, this is an indisputable fact. The two drank one cup after another.Chashuizhang drank a lot of wine because he was happy.He originally planned to tell Rong Qing that he would let him out and fulfill him and Yin'er.When he reached the point of his mouth, he felt that something was wrong, and he blamed himself in his heart.Think about it, they are a natural couple, you shouldn't occupy this seat at all, no matter what you let me in.Let this word sound so ugly, Rong Qing will be unhappy when he hears it, and Yin'er will also be unhappy. He made up his mind to leave this house quietly in a few days, and go to a place where no one can be found, even his niece Ying Neither did Ying.As long as he left and people couldn't find him, Yin'er would naturally return to Rong Qing's side, this was the best way.Thinking of this, he drank the rice wine in the glass in one gulp, feeling quite smooth in his heart. Rong Qing stared at Tea Zhang with a flushed face, lifted the wine pot and poured a full cup for Tea Zhang.His hands trembled slightly, and his heart trembled along with it.Just now, he took advantage of the other party's opportunity to go to the kitchen, and quietly poured half of the small bottle of Hedinghong he brought into the flagon.In other words, there was a glass of poisoned wine in front of Chashuizhang, as long as he touched his lips, he would be doomed.He looked at the old eunuch who was over fifty years old, and suddenly hesitated in his heart.Not only did he work with him and suffer through hardships, but he was also Yin'er's savior and his own benefactor.On the other hand, if you don't get rid of him, the kind-hearted Yin'er will never go to Japan with him easily in order to repay him and fulfill his responsibility as a wife.Even if you are willing, you will be restless for the rest of your life.He stared at the tea badge, feeling indescribably nervous, the arrow is on the string, the poison is in the wine, a moment of hesitation is a lifetime of regret. No, I can't drink any more.Cha Shui Zhang pushed away the wine glass in front of him. One more drink, the last one.Rong Qing picked up the wine glass and stuffed it into Cha Shuizhang's hand. It really doesn't work.I have something serious to tell you.Cha Shui Zhang reluctantly took the wine glass, the serious matter he was talking about was the matter between Rong Qing and Yin'er. You and I haven't seen each other for eight years, you must drink this glass of wine!Rong Qing stared at him, with his heart hanging in his throat, forcing him to drink this glass of wine. He raised his head, and his eyes met Rong Qing's.At this moment, he saw a strange look in the eyes of the other party, and his heart sank. He held the wine glass calmly, and passed it under the tip of his nose.He has boiled soup for Lafayette all his life, and prepared herbal tea for so many years, so he has developed a special sense of smell, and he can immediately smell something famous in the wine. Hurry up!I'm still waiting for you to say something serious!Seeing that he was still refusing to raise his glass, Rong Qing lost his composure. Do you really want to hear it?He looked at each other.The smell under the tip of his nose told him that there was something extremely poisonous in the wine, either peacock gall or crane crest red. He thought, guard Rong, you are so cruel. Yes I do. Well, let's exchange the last cup. In order to confirm his judgment, he deliberately proposed to change the drink.When Rong Qing heard this, he panicked, saying that his wine glass was dirty and everyone should drink from their own.In order not to give him a chance to change the wine, he simply drank the wine in his glass in one gulp, and put the glass upside down on the table.He pointed to his wine glass and told Rong Qing that there was something in the wine.If you don't drink, don't drink, what nonsense!Rong Qing was already guilty, when he heard what he said, he hurriedly reached out to grab the glass of poisoned wine, so as not to fall into the trap. I didn't say no to drink!Cha Shui Zhang stretched out his hand to hold down the wine glass, tell me, should I talk about it after I drink it, or drink it after I talk about it? It's up to you.Rong Qing didn't know which play he sang.I thought that no matter which drama was played, he would never be allowed to leave here alive today. Well, let's talk about things first.Let's put it this way, you dislike me too much, but I also dislike myself. Thinking about these years, I would rather die than live, but when you come back, he stares at the black and yellow liquid in the cup, and he can't tell Dreadful.As he was talking, he suddenly couldn't continue.He felt that the more he talked about the things in the world, the more he couldn't explain clearly. No, Rong Qing wanted to harm him, because Yin'er would not abandon him even if he was alive, and even if he did, he wouldn't feel at ease.He married Yin'er because Lafayette wanted to punish Yin'er, he had no choice but to save her after all, saving her was for Rongqing.Rong Qing hated him and thought he shouldn't have married her, so he wanted to kill him.Think about it carefully, both sides are reasonable, it depends on which side you stand on. You talked for a long time, whether you should drink this wine or not.Rong Qing stared at the wine in his hand tightly, unable to listen to what he said.Recalling that back then, in order to get Yin'er and prevent her from becoming the royal master, he did not hesitate to take the risk of killing the crown prince (only later did he find out that he was his own son).To this day, he still has no regrets.He felt that his son was gone.Yin'er can have another one for him. If she is gone, the world will not mean much to him.For him, anyone in the world who hinders him from being with Yin'er is his enemy, and he will do everything he can to destroy him.At this moment, it is not necessary to kill him, but to get Yin'er.If he wanted to get Yin'er, he had to be ruthless. Cha Shui Zhang smiled, did not answer Rong Qing's words, pointed to the new clothes he had just put on, and asked if he saw them.It was only then that Rong Qing realized that he was wearing the clothes of a palace eunuch, but he didn't know what kind of tricks he was playing. Honor!To tell you the truth, I originally planned to be a river drifter.This is much easier now.Either way, I should make Yin'er a widow anyway! etc!Don't drink, there is crane crest red in the wine.Rong Qing suddenly jumped up, reaching out to snatch the other party's wine glass.He took a step back, and the wine had already poured into Chashui Zhang's mouth. This is the only one worthy of drinking.worth it!He raised his neck and gulped it down, wiping his mouth with his hand and laughing. Rong Qing froze there.When he realized that all this was irreversible, he knelt down slowly, kowtowed three times to Chashui Zhang, and said in a low voice: "Grandpa Zhang!"Your great kindness and virtue will never be forgotten in my life.You can leave at ease, I will definitely send you off, and I kowtow to you on Yin'er's behalf. Have a good time with Yin'er! Cha Shuizhang raised his face and looked at Rong Qing calmly, feeling an indescribable pain in his heart.He originally planned to meet Rong Qing, but then left before Yin'er came back.This walk is to find a water surface, jump into the water and it will be over, and you will end yourself.Unexpectedly, it would be too late for him to kill himself, so Rong Qing first forced him to surrender his life.Die yourself, and others let you die, these are two different things.This other person, in particular, is just a friend who shares his troubles with him! Cha Shui Zhang left as soon as he said, very suddenly, but not very surprised.Yin'er stood in front of his memorial tablet, thinking about the benefits he had done to her during his lifetime, feeling unspeakable sadness in her heart. I remember that day when she came back from her mother's house, she found that the courtyard door was plugged in from the inside, and there was no movement no matter how much she knocked.She found a neighbor, climbed into the yard from the courtyard wall, pulled the door bolt from the inside, and hurried into the house.When she saw Chashuizhang lying flat on the kang bed in a new dress, she was immediately petrified.People from the government have come to see it, and there is nothing suspicious inside and out.Only she knew in her heart that he died for her and Rong Qing. Once he dies, she naturally plans to be with Rong Qing. This is what she and Rong Qing have been waiting for for many years, and it is also Cha Shuizhang's wish.A few days ago, she wore sackcloth and filial piety, gave away the tea medal, and buried it in the official land dedicated to royal eunuchs.As Cha Shui Zhang's only relatives in the world, Yuan Liu and Ying Ying naturally came, and Rong Qing came with them.Rong Qing wept very sadly, he not only gave away the scroll, but also paid a lot of money to buy a high-quality nanmu coffin for Cha Shuizhang. After sending off the tea medal, Rong Qing stayed to accompany Yin'er.She didn't expect that Cha Shui Zhang's death would have such a big blow to her. If it wasn't for Rong Qing, she really didn't want to live.She lay in his arms that day, crying and crying, so many tears came from nowhere.To put it bluntly, she felt that there was no better person in this world than Cha Shui Zhang.He was born as if to live for others.First for Lafayette, then for the emperor, and then for her.In the past eight years, she didn't remember him saying a single hard word or losing a wink.Thinking of him is all good, and I can't think of a single problem.Until he finished the last step of his life, this step was also for her sake, fearing that she would be in trouble, he took the initiative to make room for Rong Qing. Originally, Rongqing planned to take her to his second uncle to live with him for a while, and then marry him after she was overwhelmed by grief.She refused, and must stay here to keep the tea order for seventy-seven forty-nine days.She promised to stay with him for a full day, and immediately go to Japan with him, the farther the better.She refused to hold the wedding ceremony for a very simple reason, the Qing Dynasty was still there, she carried the name of the eunuch's wife, she didn't want people to laugh at her, and she didn't want to hurt Rong Qing's reputation.For her, as long as she can be with Rong Qing, she will close her eyes for the rest of her life.Rong Qing felt that what she said was reasonable. If it was said that they were married, the two of them would have married a long time ago.But he still persuaded her to invite some family members, such as Yingying and Yuanliu and the uncle's family, and Yin'er's mother and sister-in-law to have a meal and drink together at his second uncle's house. It's a celebration.Then they left here and went to Japan via Tianjin. Yin'er, he put his hands on her shoulders, raised two thick eyebrows and asked her, you knew I was back a while ago, and I asked someone to bring you a message, why didn't you want to see me? It's over, let's not talk about it.She lowered her head, avoiding his eyes. Can't bear Uncle Zhang?he asked, feeling unspeakably nervous. She nodded and shook her head. Is it right? how to say?I really can't bear it!For me, he has suffered so much. He is old and has no relatives around him. What should I do if I leave him alone?Besides, I'm also afraid that if I recite my name, it will make your face look bad. He's so good, he doesn't even want me anymore?He stared at her with unspeakable jealousy in his heart.He was very reluctant to prove that it was necessary for him to kill the tea medal, and now it seemed that it was necessary. Two different things.I thank you for your affection, but what I thank him is grace!Her words blocked him there, and he was speechless for a long time.The two stood there without making a sound for a long time.She raised her face suddenly, facing the light and asked him: Am I getting old? It's not old at all, it's still the same. nonsense.For so many years, I have died and lived, lived and died I know that.blame me. It's bad, it's my fault, our children are gone Rebirth, a bunch of births, he gritted his teeth and said fiercely, he couldn't help but think of that time when he sneaked into the palace and harmed the crown prince.He didn't dare to think about it, and he still doesn't know if he killed this son.He once asked her, and she told her son's situation before his death, both like him and not like him. I also paid homage to the wedding ceremony where she pointed out that she was married to Chashui Zhang Gongzhong, and looked at him apologetically. It's okay, that doesn't count!He disagrees. You really don't dislike me? From now on, when we are together, we can only say good things, not bad things. Brother Qing!She hugged him suddenly and passionately. I'm not leaving, I'll stay here with you.Rong Qing refused to go back, picked her up and walked towards the bed.Struggling, she shyly pointed to the tablet of the tea medal, saying that she was not satisfied with the days.He glanced at the memorial tablet and said that a person's death is like a lamp going out, and that's it when the meaning comes to mind.No, he could hear it all.she said seriously.Rong Qing was stunned.When his eyes fell on the tablet on the desk, a trace of apprehension flashed in his heart, and he involuntarily let go of his hands. A knock on the door came from the yard, waking her up from her contemplation. She ran into the yard in a hurry, and asked, "Who is it?"She opened the door, and Xiao Hui Hui's face was red all the way to his neck, his mouth was full of alcohol, and he could tell he had drunk too much.Xiao Hui carried a lot of presents, and put them on the table as soon as he entered the main room, saying that he had specially brought gifts for her and Rong Qing, she kept saying thank you, Xiao Hui asked where Rong Qing was, she said he was at his second uncle's house , Xiaohui thought about it and said that he was waiting for him here. You can't just say thank you, I have to ask Brother Rong to thank me!Xiaohui took the tea from Yin'er and said to him proudly.In fact, he came here for money, and Rong Qing promised to give five hundred taels of silver bill after the matter was completed. Isn't it the same thing for me to thank him? One size is one size.He knew in his heart that if I hadn't returned to the saddle for a while, he would have gotten you so smoothly?Uncle Zhang can go into the coffin so honestly! You're too drunk, come here and talk drunk! You got it.The tricks of you two are all in my stomach, don't deny it!He smiled smugly. What do you say about Uncle Zhang?She was startled.As the saying goes, after drinking, you tell the truth, so there is really something tricky here. Rongqing really didn't tell you?He felt impossible. What, the more you talk, the less I understand.She is in a hurry. Then you should ask him. Xiao Huihui, in fact, you don't know anything, you want to deceive me!Seeing him hesitating, she became even more puzzled and deliberately provoked him. 憑什麼說不知道!小回回本來就喝多了,經不起她一激,頓時叫開了,你真當我不知道,我問你,茶水章他喝了什麼毒? 聽李總管說,喝下了什麼鶴頂紅。 這就對了,那玩意兒比金子還貴,是皇上專用來給當朝一品賜死的,章德順怎麼會有啊? 你意思是?對方這一說,她立即想起那天李總管上家裡來,對茶水章吞了鶴頂紅百思不得其解,奇怪茶水章哪來這樣名貴的玩意兒。 小回回似乎知道自己失言,無論吟兒怎麼問,再也不肯往下說了,她一定要他說,他急了,說他什麼也沒說,也不等榮慶回來,匆匆走了。 她站在那兒,心裡說不出的慌亂。記得元六和英英也說過,她舅舅喝的是宮庭特有的毒藥,一般人不會有,一定有人害了他。英英求榮慶幫他查出舅舅的仇家,元六還說只要他查出來,其他事由他來辦。如果真有人害了他,別說英英要找人討個公道,就是她也不能放過那個仇家啊!
