Sweet Beauty Chapter 69: Abducted and eloped
The matter of the Bai family was originally arranged by Jing Shu secretly. When she took action, the matter was naturally suppressed, but she did not directly let her own people come forward, but handed the matter over to her father, Rong Er master.
Master Rong saw what the Bai family had committed, and his beard cocked up in anger.
The matter of Bai Yanfeng, although he lost something and a lot of money, barely quelled the anger of the other party, and the other party said that it was because of his face, so this matter is nothing, but it will be ridiculed and sarcastic. Relegating Bai Yanfeng to a useless waste, Master Rong was really ashamed, angry and annoyed with his stiff smile.
But when I got home, I thought that I had hesitated to marry my eldest daughter back to the Bai family because of my kindness to the Bai family and the begging of Mrs. Bai for a while. Now I can only break a cold sweat. .
He nearly pushed his eldest daughter into a fire pit because of his own selfishness! Let the eldest daughter live such dire days in the future!
Unconsciously, he has also regarded the Bai family as a fire pit... If Jing Shu knew about it, it would be really gratifying!
Not to mention the bad things about the third house and the Wei family. Thinking that the old lady Bai forced him to marry her young daughter into the Wei family like that, he really couldn't have any more affection for the old lady!
So when the news of the Bai family's return to their hometown came, Mr. Rong Er not only did not have the slightest reluctance and sympathy overflowed because of his childhood upbringing, but he didn't want to ask the reason at all, he just felt relieved. Tone...
This time, the Bai family left the city and there was no more trouble, probably because the Bai family's vitality was severely damaged, and the old lady Bai was afraid of Jingshu, a "monster" until the end, and the Bai family would no longer be there. No one came to Rong's house to sell the miserable existence and seek benefits.
As for Bai Jingyi from the big house, she was originally promised to the Xu family of Hanlin, but the Xu family had already come to the house to withdraw from the relatives because of the terrible things that happened to the confession family. Jingshu doesn't have any bad feelings towards Bai Jingdi, but she doesn't feel guilty about it either. It's just like in the last life, the big house of the Bai family enjoyed the benefits from Jingshu herself and her mother, and she wouldn't feel sorry for Jingshu's mother. The encounter and what happened to Jing Shu felt the slightest guilt, but it was just like silently ignoring it.
It's just a stranger from now on.
At the end of September, His Majesty made several announcements in the courtroom.
One is the flooding of the middle part of the Yellow River this summer, especially in Puyang County, Henan Province. Many people on both sides of the strait suffered from it. They ordered Jiang Jue, the fifth son of King Kang, who was serving in the Ministry of Industry, to work with Rongqian, Lang Zhong of the Ministry of Industry. Go to Puyang to supervise the construction of the Yellow River flood control dam, comfort the victims by the way, and review the relief effect in July.
In addition, the embezzlement of military salaries and military funds by the Marquis of Anxi ten years ago was a long time ago. Although some evidence has been obtained, it is still impossible to arbitrarily judge the magnitude of the crime. Therefore, His Majesty ordered Wang An, the Minister of Punishment, to lead the Minister of War to zhenguo the King of Shu. The third son, Jiang Yu, went to Xining to collect evidence together, and ordered Jiang Yu to stay in Xining for the time being to deal with matters related to the last war with Yuezhi, and as an envoy representing Da Zhou in Xining and the countries in the Western Regions for peace talks.
Both things have a lot to do with Jing Shu.
In addition, after His Majesty bestowed the marriage, several royal mansions and several ladies who were given marriages also set the wedding dates one after another. They all set the wedding date at the end of next year.
Jing Shu sat in the small attic on the second floor and looked at the scenery outside the garden, thinking about what happened in the past few days, only to feel that everything was like a dream. She did not expect that this time she had only been in Beijing for half a year, the past and present life had undergone earth-shaking changes, and the burden on her heart had finally disappeared. Now, it is just a matter of her mood and how to clean up the rest of her previous life. Those who have harmed her, for example, Lingguo Gongfu, for example, the remnants of the previous dynasty who do not know what role they played in it.
She was lying on the window sill fiddling with the Qinglian raised in a large water tank on the terrace outside the window. Suddenly, she seemed to feel a dark shadow behind her, as well as a familiar and unfamiliar sense of oppression. Looking back, she saw Jiang Yuzheng standing. Looking at her by the large bookshelf.
Jing Shu looked around inexplicably and at the entrance of the stairs, not knowing where he suddenly appeared.
However, since the marriage was granted, the two of them have hardly met in private. He has officially come to their Rong's house twice, and he has met his father directly and discussed the marriage... It's strange that he discussed the wedding date and so on. I came by myself, instead of inviting the prince and concubine of Shu... But Jing Shu's mother was not in Beijing, anyway, these routine details are nothing more.
Jiang Yu looked at Jing Shu with her eyes wide open and looked at her a little ignorant, and felt amused in her heart. He didn't know why, but every time he saw her, it would be a little funny. She always surprised him and surprised him.
Seeing her like this, he suddenly had a strange and absurd idea in his heart. He stepped forward and said, "Shu'er, I'm going to Xining, do you want to go with me?"
Jing Shu's eyes widened suddenly, what does this mean?
Jiang Yu looked at her as if her jaw was about to drop in shock, and felt that what she said was a little... unethical. Although to him, secular morals were not important at all, but for some girls, But it is life-saving.
Jiang Yu reached out and brushed the thin strands of hair that fell from her forehead just because she lowered her head to play, and said warmly: "Shu'er, don't get me wrong, I just think you may be bored in Beijing, and I want to take you there. Look at different places, Xining is different from the capital Shuzhong, the scenery there is very unique, and there are also Juchang, a businessman from the Western Regions, Hu Nu..."
Seeing Jing Shu's shocked expression slowly being replaced by a thoughtful and fascinated expression, he smiled, "I think you will like it. However, even if we don't go this time, after our wedding, There are still many opportunities, and I will take you to play elsewhere."
He found the contradictory and unique side of her character that did not abide by the stereotypes. He liked her, so he tried to guide this side to make her life more comfortable and happier, because every time she was careful, Yueyue tried and failed. And pretending to be firm, it is really smart and bright, which makes him heart-warming and love.
He didn't think about marrying her back and putting her in the backyard, and then letting her marry her husband and teach her children, so she probably wouldn't be her anymore.
Jing Shu looked at him blankly, and I have to say, it sounds really exciting. She has lived a whole life again, and she is against the rules of etiquette and etiquette that bind people from the bottom of her heart, but now she follows him to Xining, too... Although she is already his fiancée, but...
Jiang Yu was in a good mood when he saw her silly appearance, he stepped forward and stretched out his hand to take her into his arms, and said with a smile, "It's just a whim, it's nothing, I'll arrange it if you want. At that time, I will make someone pretend to be you to go to Shuzhong, only to say that you are going to Shuzhong to pick up your mother and younger brother, and then we will go to Shuzhong together at the end of the year, and at the beginning of next year, we will go back to Beijing with your mother. But if you don't want to, You can stay in Beijing or go to Shu to pick up your mother."
Originally, Mr. Rong Er hoped that his wife, Mrs. Chen, would return to Beijing earlier, but after all, Brother Yuan was too young, and it would be too hard to rush back to Beijing at the end of the year. If I want to go to Puyang to supervise the construction of the river embankment, I don’t know if I will be able to come back by the end of the year. It is better to let my wife return to Beijing after the New Year in Shuzhong.
Jing Shu was suddenly pulled into his arms by Jiang Yu, and then she spoke in a natural and intimate manner, as if it were a matter of course.
Before the marriage, they often met in private, but at that time it was mostly about things. He usually didn't go too far with her except for a few kisses that he had tasted when he couldn't help himself. It was the first time for him to hold her in his arms and talk so naturally and intimately.
Jing Shu blushed and was a little unaccustomed to pushing him, but her strength was not worth mentioning in front of him at all, how could she shake him half a point. But he was also afraid that she would be uncomfortable, so he loosened up a little, and then pulled her to sit down together.
She was a little afraid to look directly at him, lowered her head, listened to his heartbeat, her heartbeat quickened for no reason, she only felt a little warm on her face, she tried her best to calm herself, thinking about him and saying If he said that, he gave a thin "um", and then said, "It seems that it seems to be very good, but I always feel that something is not right."
Jiang Yu smiled again, and he said, "You're saying that as if I kidnapped a girl from a good family to run away."
Jing Shu heard his words, her face became hot again, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help turning up, and her mood became inexplicably happy.
Actually, she has experienced a lot of things in her past and present life, and she knows too much about the rules and so on.
If Jiang Yu is unwilling to marry her, or if she really has other thoughts in the future, it will be useless even if she follows the rules and abides by the rules and virtues of women by his means based on her family background.
No, it is estimated that if he doesn't want any kind of family background, he can have the means to deal with it...
So the most important thing is always yourself, not those rules and dogma.
She said: "Then let me think about it. There have been a lot of things recently, and I'm a little confused..."
He couldn't help but ask, "Huaizhi, I used such a method to force the Bai family away, you say, am I going too far? I, that result actually I already feel that I have done my best, it's just the middle..."
It's just that the middle way is too unscrupulous, especially when dealing with the third room.
Jiang Yu saw the daze and loss in her eyes for a moment, her heart ached slightly, he lowered his head and kissed her forehead, and said, "If I were to say it, I would only say that you are too kind and soft-hearted, but it is because you said you If I had to handle the affairs of the Bai family by myself, I didn't interfere. If it were me,"
"Oh, they should know the consequences if they dare to do something like that. If it were me, I would probably just let them sink their boats on their way home."
Looking at her for a moment, he smiled again and said, "But that's okay, it's okay to keep them from jumping up and down, after all, it's not a pleasant thing for you to get your hands dirty for someone like that. Shuer, if there is anything you want to do in the future that you don't want to implement, tell me, and I'll handle it for you... Look, I'm just listening to you and helping you handle it. You did..."
This sentence is a bit confusing, but Jing Shu understood it, she couldn't help but pursed her lips and laughed again.
She smiled like this, her big eyes were curled up, her red lips were slightly upturned, her moist and white skin was cool and translucent, as attractive as the coldest green fruit in summer. Now that she is engaged, Jiang Yu will naturally not bear it anymore. , bowed his head and bit down before she knew it.
********
After Jiang Yu left, Jingshu moved a lot of books from Xining Beidi and the Geographical Chronicle Magazine of the Western Regions to read. To be honest, she was really tempted by Jiang Yu's proposal. After the shadow of her previous life, she didn't want to live forever in the back house after getting married, leaving her destiny to be determined by the preferences of others, even if that person was her trusted husband, she would not be willing to do so. .
If she wants to be stronger, she has to see more and see more.
Jing Shu even summoned Winter Shadow to ask her about her previous life in detail, avoiding those things that the Royal Dark Guard can't share. All have.
Winter Shadow is a dark guard who has been trained since birth. Her thinking is quite different from ordinary people. Any strange, difficult or even cruel things come out of her mouth as if they are interesting and fun, and they are lively and lively. , which made Jing Shu feel amused and envious at the same time.
She has always liked Winter Shadow, not just because of how capable Winter Shadow is, and anything that is handed to her can be reassuring, but because of Winter Shadow's temperament, although she is by her side for almost a moment To protect herself, but she feels that Winter Shadow is free, the kind of freedom that can do to a certain degree of recklessness.
Jing Shu slowly made up her mind, but she didn't want to go to Xining directly with Jiang Yu. She always felt strange, so she went to Yingmei Villa to find Yuanling and asked her if she would be willing to accompany her Let's go to Xining together.
Yuanling's eyes lit up when she heard this. Although she is also used to the boring life of studying medicine every day, she also likes to cure diseases and save people, and hopes that medicine will continue to make breakthroughs, but in this capital, she has no plans for the time being. Going to Kaotai Hospital is not an opportunity to seek revenge from the Tian family. It is boring to be in this villa every day. If you can go to Xining to see, there are no other opportunities. , she has always wanted to study it.
And going to Xining is only for two months. At the end of the year, she can go back to Shuzhong to visit her family.
Speaking of the Tian family, the Tian family has also visited the Rong family twice during these times. But it was perfunctory by Jing Shu.
Yuanling secretly watched the actions of the Tian family, and was so eager to find her appearance that she didn't even know that she knew the truth of the Yuan family's extermination.
She had other plans in her mind, so she was not in a hurry to take revenge. After listening to Jing Shu's question, she thought for a while and then agreed.
In this way, Jing Shu's heart is even more settled.
On the fifth day of October, Master Rong Er and Jiang Jue, the fifth son of King Kang, left the capital and went to Puyang County, Henan Province to supervise the construction of the Yellow River dam.
After sending her father away from Beijing, Jingshu and Dsou Li's sister Rong Jingyu carefully instructed her to return to Shuzhong with her second uncle and second aunt Chen Erye and his wife, who were returning to Shuzhong for Chinese New Year on the seventh day of October. , but took Dongying, Qianmei, and Yuanling to leave halfway, catching up with Jiang Yu's team going to Xining.
The one who accompanied Chen Er and his wife back to Shu was Qian Xue who was dressed as Jing Shu. Before this, Jingshu naturally explained to Master Chen Er in detail. Although Master Chen Er was worried and disagreed, the third son of the King of Shu was not very personable, and Jingshu was with Yuanling, with Dongying and Qianmei beside him. Protection, although he disagreed, he could only try his best to help Jing Shu cover up, and gave Jing Shu the address and token of the semicolon of the Chen family's business in Xining. If necessary, he could go there directly to seek help and withdraw money.
When Jiang Yu's opposite Wu Shijingshu had already made a disguise, her skin was not as translucent as ice and snow, but slightly black, with a little freckles on her face, which looked like a normal A pretty girl walking outside.
Jiang Yu and Wang An, the minister of punishment, did not conceal Yuan Ling's identity, and directly told her that she was the descendant of the Yuan family, a medical family in the North. Because everyone knows that there are many secret medicines and secret techniques in the small country of the Western Regions, it is very strange, if it affects the state affairs, it is no trivial matter.
Wang An was not attentive at first, but after spending a period of time together, he was even more sure of Yuanling's identity, because he had been in the punishment department for many years, and he knew Yuanling's medical skills by looking at Yuanling's actions along the way and the rare scent of medicine on her body. This point of Gao Ming can't be faked at all.
And Jingshu is Yuanling's cousin and junior sister. She followed her to Xining to gain some knowledge. Her name is Asu, but she is actually Ashu...
October 15, halfway from the capital to Weidi, Xiling Mountain.
Rong Weijia knelt beside the big rock, looking at the blood on the ground under the mountain road, with tears on her face, her face like paper, shivering, her hands were struggling to grasp the rock, scratching the tender skin of her fingers Know.
Just now she witnessed a group of "mountain bandits" first shot and killed the guards who escorted her back to Weidi, and then when they got close, they killed her nurse, mammy, and The two maids, and the girl who disguised themselves, stole their belongings, and then threw everyone's bodies down the cliff.
Below the cliffs of this mountain road is the Valley of Death. Apart from wild animals, it is inaccessible to people. It is a simple and effective way to dispose of corpses.
She wanted to scream, but the sound stuck in her throat.
Last night, she was exchanged by Nian Gu with the girl who disguised herself, because she insisted on riding a carriage by herself these days, and her wet nurse and others did not notice that she was exchanged . The girl was probably given medicine, and it was unusually quiet.
Nian Gu then took her to this cliff and witnessed the killing of "she" and all those who served her.
She thought that what Niangu said would naturally save her at that time, which meant that she would save everyone including her wet nurse, maid and others, but she didn't expect that the only one she saved was herself.
"Don't think I'm cruel, not to mention whether I can defeat those specially hired bandits and save so many people, and if I don't do it, Duke Ling won't really think you're dead, definitely He will always track your whereabouts, and if you appear again in the future, no matter how well you pretend to be, he will not be relieved, and he will definitely try to kill you except you.”
Seeing that Rong Weijia didn't react when she heard her words, she still looked like she was dying of fear and pain, Nian Gu snorted coldly and continued with endless coldness and hatred,
"Hmph, can't you stand it now? Do you know that your grandfather, grandmother, all the blood of the previous royal family, and your parents died in Ling Qianfeng and Hua The old thief of the family shamelessly betrayed it, and was slaughtered by the dog emperor of Da Zhou. Back then, the water of the Weihe River was dyed red by the blood of your father's and mother's family, but you still want to marry Ling Qian. Feng, the son of the old thief, who goes back on his word and stabs you in the back at any time, the son of the man who kills you, what can be a good thing?"
"Do you think that when Ling Qianfeng sent you back to Wei, his son would not be able to guess the old thief's intentions? If you still don't want to open your eyes to see clearly and give up your heart, then you really don't deserve to be the daughter of the princess of the Wei Dynasty, or the daughter of the loyal and brave general."
