After rebirth, I made the princes cry
Chapter 249: Vain Achievements
Soon, Yingshu heard about He Chaoxi's actions, and now she could almost conclude that He Chaoxi was indeed a reborn person.
In his previous life, He Chaoxi did not resist entering the palace. He did have an admiration for Sikong Beichen at first, otherwise he would not regard her as a thorn in her side. He worked hard to compete with her for favor. He even provoked Wansu many times and was active. Very positive. After all, they are "old rivals". They have fought in close combat many times. Yingshu understands He Chaoxi's temperament. This woman truly believes that wealth and honor are like floating clouds, and she only acts based on her own likes and dislikes.
But later, He Chaoxi was also heartbroken by Sikong Beichen. When Sikong Beichen passed away, she did not shed a tear for him. She even claimed to be sick and refused to cry for sacrifice. She directly said to Ying Shu: If you force me, I will do it. Serve me wine or Bai Ling.
After rebirth, He Chaoxi had a very different temperament. He was actually willing to "complicit" with his clansmen, and was determined to fight for power. He clearly did not want to see Sikong Beichen ascend to the throne anymore, and had already severed all ties with him.
But He Chaoxi did not know that the conflict between the three surnames Xie, He, and Zheng would actually benefit Sikong Beichen. In her previous life, she never paid attention to government affairs, and focused on playing music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and small love affairs. If she were a man, , maybe she will become an elegant and famous person, but she is a daughter and was born in a family like Jiangdonghe. Even if she does not want to be restrained, she will not be able to fight for freedom after all. The half-life of that life has not smoothed her edges, but Having experienced this, how can one not understand what it means to be helpless?
On this day, Yingshu left the palace and returned to Changqianli, but she didn't see anyone else. Regarding He Chaoxi's "deeds", she still heard from her grandfather.
"This girl from the He family is only twelve or three, right? He Wei told Shi Cheng about this. He Wei was still in the Ronghui Hall of the He family that day. Even if he deliberately boasted about He Jiuniang's intelligence, it shouldn't be completely fabricated. Girl You have such an impressive tone at such a young age? But He Ao is also ridiculous, he actually dares to take the words of such a young girl seriously and believes that the crown prince's throne is in danger."
Wang Lan shook his head repeatedly. If he had such a granddaughter, let alone allow her to talk nonsense in the Guangming Hall. As long as he heard such comments, he would be grounded for several months, copied hundreds of family rules, and not allowed to speak. Let her remember what it means to be careful in her words and deeds! From this point of view, although Ying Shu, the granddaughter, is older than He Jiuniang, she is much smarter and more stable. Since entering the palace, she has walked steadily every step of the way, and she has never done anything on her own initiative.
Wang Lan felt so comfortable in his heart that he never thought that his granddaughter and He Ao's granddaughter had the same goal. They were both determined to dethrone the crown prince Sikong Beichen from the throne. The only difference was in their methods.
Even in front of her grandfather, Yingshu did not reveal the secret of Qianyang Palace at all, but she was very clear about He Chaoxi's thoughts - Queen Yu was not reprimanded and punished by His Majesty in her previous life, and this incident did not happen Only in his lifetime did He Chaoxi think that Sikong Beichen's reserve position was already unstable and that this was a god-given opportunity to seize the reserve.
She smiled and said: "If you don't know that everything is planned by His Majesty, you may have wild thoughts after hearing about the recent changes in the palace."
"Too much humility is also like hypocrisy." Wang Lan snorted softly: "Why did you leave the palace today?"
"We can't talk about this matter." Yingshu blinked: "If my grandfather had no other instructions, I would have gone to see Fubai."
"You are now the daughter of the Qianyang Palace, how can I dare to teach you?" Wang Lan snorted again, then waved his hand: "If you want to see me, then meet me. If you don't have to be vain, this After returning to Fubai, I went to Chang'an with Dalang. He really wants to walk around and gain some knowledge. If you delay Fubai's ambition and complain, I won't put in a good word for you."
Yingshu didn't listen to the nagging, and bowed and resigned quickly. She didn't believe that Fubai would complain about her. Ever since Fubai handed over the investigation of the Zhao family to Fubai, Fubai's enthusiasm was even higher than that of Bai Xiu. She left the palace today. , I heard from Nanci that Bai Lao sent a letter to Dan Lao, and found out some clues about the Zhao family.
The pairing of Fu Bai and Bai Lao has recently been nicknamed by Qing Lao as "Pearls competing for glory". They both seem to have a calm temperament separately, but together they look like enemies, both trying hard to compete with each other. Qing Lao often hears Bai Lao complain and expects her to be slightly inferior, but Xuan Ying firmly believes that although Fu Bai is a man and can act more conveniently than Bai Lao, he is certainly not as sweet-tongued as Bai Lao and has enough experience to gain the upper hand. In fact, As a result, Bai Bai found out some information about Zhao's foundation.
Unlike Bai Lao who sometimes asks Xuanying and Qing Lao to assist, Bai Lao's way is to fight alone.
Based on the basic information provided to him by Yingshu, he started his investigation in Ju'anli, which was the neighborhood where Zhao lived with her widowed mother when she was young. It was also where Zhao lived for seven years. However, after Zhao's mother died of illness, Zhao's So he sold himself to Qinhuaili. Logically speaking, Zhao's childhood experience could not be related to her murder of Yu Duo and his son. To trace the cause and effect, we should find a breakthrough from Qinhuaili. But Fubai had his own opinions, so he gave up. Instead of taking the Qinhuaili route, we created another route called Ju'anli.
Ju'anli is close to the outside of Stone City. Most of the households living in Ju'an are military households, but there are also craftsmen and civilian households living there. There are even people who have been pardoned as disciples. The floating population is large and registered. It's not complicated. Naturally, there are many poor people, and it is not suitable for widowed mothers and orphans to live there. However, it was really difficult for Zhao's mother to find other places to live.
After Zhao's father passed away, his former employer still had a clear conscience and helped Zhao's mother take care of Zhao's father's afterlife. He learned that Zhao's mother was pregnant, a widow, and did not own half of the real estate in Jiankang City. Mu of land, Zhao's father's savings were only more than 2,000 yuan and five baht, which was not enough for expenses, so he compensated Zhao's mother 8,000 yuan, which was enough to cover Zhao's mother's expenses before giving birth.
In Beiqi Alley in Ju'anli, the elderly Mr. Li still remembers Zhao's mother. Hearing Fubai say that Zhao's mother was most likely his great-aunt, he sighed: "When she came to Beiqi Alley, it was a very cold day. , she was already six or seven months pregnant, and she was wearing linen clothes. One look at her revealed that she had recently lost her husband, and said she had no one to rely on in Jiankang City, and no other relatives had gone to seek refuge. She doesn't have much money, and I heard that the rent for a house in Ju'anli is low, so she asked me to find a house for her. It would be better if the owner of the house has a woman who has given birth, who can help her when she gives birth.
I saw that she was really pitiful, so I asked my old woman to ask her about her niece. We called her Gui Niang. Gui Niang was also a poor person. Like the woman from the Zhao family, she was a widow, but Gui Niang's The man also left three rooms for her and her children, and they were just doing it.
Last year, not long after my old lady passed away, Gui Niang also disappeared, so I made the decision for her and sold all three houses. The money from the sale was given to Gui Niang's granddaughter as a dowry. Guiniang's son is gone too. He later joined the army and died in the war. Her daughter-in-law remarried. Guiniang took her granddaughter with her. Before she died, her granddaughter had already found another family when she was twelve years old. Her fate was uncertain. , Gui Niang can’t close her eyes either. "
The person who was most familiar with Zhao's mother should be Gui Niang in the mouth of Li Lao, but she had passed away, so Fubai had no choice but to continue to ask about it from Li Lao's mouth: "I also heard from my grandfather that my great-aunt came to Jianji with my great-uncle. After she became well, she cut off contact with my family, and it was difficult to find out this information... I also ask the old man to tell me whether my great-aunt gave birth smoothly that year, and where did her children go after my great-aunt passed away? "
Although it was nearly twenty years ago, Mr. Li has not forgotten it: "Later, the Zhao family's wife gave birth to a daughter. The child was still young and her mother was missing. The neighbors in this area were not well off, and they It really helped a lot. Alas, that child must have sold herself to Yaxing, and Yaxing came forward to take care of her mother's death. I still listened to Guiniang's words, and she was buried in the suburbs of the city, belonging to a poor family. , there is no ancestral tomb, it should be buried not far from her deceased man.
As for the whereabouts of the child, except for Yaxing, we don't know. She has never returned to Ju'an. Since she has been sold into slavery, she cannot move freely wherever she wants. If you want to know her whereabouts, go ask the officials. Ya, maybe you still remember the old Ya who was nicknamed Lame Zhang. "
Fubai found Laizi Zhang again, and told Yingshu in detail: "There are official teeth in every village. Laizi Zhang is the oldest among the official teeth in Ju'an. The servants heard that Zhao is the When I sold myself and found Guanya by myself, I felt surprised because she was only seven years old at the time. Even if selling herself was the only way out, why not ask Li Lao to find Guanya, but she found the way by herself."
"You are right. Mother Zhao knew that Xiang Tuo Li Lao went to find a rental house instead of going to Guan Ya directly. This shows that she felt that officials like Li were more trustworthy than Ya people. A widowed mother and an orphan. Survival is not easy. During the seven years of living in Ju'an, Zhao's mother was cared for by the elders there. It stands to reason that when she was seriously ill, she would not fail to think about her daughter's future livelihood, but she did not ask the trustee to come forward. Zhao was clearly asked to find Cripple Zhang herself, which means that at that time, Cripple Zhang had already gained Zhao’s mother’s trust, so Zhao’s mother no longer bothered the head of the caretaker.”
Fubai was praised by Yingshu, smiled shyly, and couldn't help but speak louder: "The houses in Beiqi Alley do not have private courtyards, they are all row houses. Guiniang only has three houses in total, and she rented one for me. Just across the street from the Zhao family and their daughter, there lived a sick doctor. The sick doctor's surname was Zhang. He had the same surname as the lame Zhang, but they were not relatives. The sick doctor cured the lame Zhang's leg disease. The lame Zhang was grateful to him. So he and Zhang Jiyi became sworn brothers, but in fact Zhang Jiyi was more than ten years younger than the cripple Zhang, so the two could be regarded as close friends.
According to the lame man Zhang, Dr. Zhang Ji was a kind-hearted person, and he was willing to help even people he had never met. He saw that the lives of widowed mothers and orphans in his neighbors were very difficult, so he often helped. Zhao was two or three years old. Occasionally I had acne, but thanks to Dr. Zhang's wonderful hand, I would have died a long time ago. It was precisely because of Dr. Zhang that the cripple Zhang Ye took great care of the Zhao family's mother and daughter. "
Zhang Zhen, a sick doctor, had not yet married in his thirties, so Zhang Zhen, a cripple, once thought that Zhang Zhen was caring about Zhao's mother because he was in love with her. He once recommended himself as a matchmaker to bring Zhang Zhen and Zhao's mother together, but Zhang Zhen seriously refused and followed her. When the lame man Zhang Zhen made love, he claimed that he had a crush on the woman. However, the woman could not choose her own marriage and was forced to marry another woman. The woman did not want to break her promise and actually committed suicide before getting married. Therefore, Zhang Zhen also swore a poisonous oath. The world would rather be alone than betray one's trust.
"I can't go to hell with her, and I have betrayed her sincere kindness towards me, just because I am a doctor. When I was studying medicine, I first made a promise to save the world and save lives, but in this life, I have identified her as How can I empathize with others for the sake of my wife? Since I can’t treat each other with true feelings, why should I mislead others for the rest of my life? Not to mention that Madam Zhao is also a passionate person, otherwise she would not have lost her husband, knowing the hardships, but working hard Raise a young daughter without any thought of remarrying. My care for Madam Zhao is not only out of pity, but also out of respect for her, so I’d better stop saying those teasing and joking words."
