It was a cold snowy night, and the dilapidated Hua Mansion had fallen trees and wild animals scattered. Like a female ghost, Aunt Zhao quietly opened the back door of the Hua Mansion and walked out under the thick white snow.
She knew that there had been a lot of strange people around Hua Mansion recently, and they had been hanging around the front and back doors. After Lady Hua returned to Hua Mansion, there were even more of these strange people.
Aunt Zhao found one of the people on the snowy night and revealed that Hua Xian'er and Hua Niangzi were preparing to leave Beidicheng.
The other party was an old beggar. After hearing this, he nodded slightly without any reaction.
The night is getting deeper and deeper, and the snow is falling heavier and heavier. Today is New Year's Eve. There is no curfew in Beidi City. Every household has lights on and candles are brightly lit throughout the night.
However, because Beidi City did not set off fireworks in the city this year, the New Year's Eve was a little more deserted.
Hua Niangzi and Hua Xian'er carried their burdens and sneaked out from the gate of Hua Mansion. They were preparing to escape overnight.
However, he had not gone very far when he was blocked by a group of beggars on a snowy night.
"Get out of the way! Do you know who I am?"
Hua Niangzi protected Hua Xian'er in front of her, pointed at the group of beggars, and rebuked angrily,
"Dirty thing, get out of the way quickly."
"You can't leave, the princess said, capture the flower lady and kill the flower fairy on the spot."
A cold voice sounded from behind the beggars.
The beggars gave way and Ergouzi was revealed.
He looked at the flower girl standing in front and said:
"Get out of the way, we won't hurt you."
Hua Niangzi shook her head and kept Hua Xian'er behind her. The expression on her face was angry and sad.
"Is Hua Jin so cruel and heartless? She has forced our family to do this, why is she still unwilling to let Xian'er live? Xian'er is her sister."
Er Gouzi had a fierce look on his face. He walked forward slowly, staring closely at the cowering Hua Xian'er behind Hua Niangzi.
"Then you should ask the twelve innocent people killed by Hua Xian'er in Beidi City, if they are willing to let Hua Xian'er go?"
At the beginning, because she had Jin Yiwei as her backer, Hua Xian'er was so arrogant and domineering, and no one could disobey her. She confused right and wrong in the teahouse, saying how Hua Jin had done many evil things, and no one else could refute her.
Anyone who contradicted her was killed by Hua Xian'er's Jin Yiwei.
Killing people to pay for their lives, the family members of those twelve people cried every night, Hua Xian'er must pay for it with their lives.
"No, no, no, those people were killed by Jin Yiwei. They had nothing to do with me. They were all ordered by Princess Biyue."
Hua Xian'er huddled behind A Niang and kept moving back. She is still making excuses now.
However, Er Gouzi led several beggars and approached Hua Niangzi and Hua Xian'er step by step. On the snowy night, Er Gouzi took out a knife. Snowflakes fell on the blade, and the blade shone with a cold light.
Of course he remembered how Hua Xian'er stepped on him and threatened him with the life of his mother-in-law and sister.
Now let’s pay it back together.
The flower lady in front was still waiting to say anything, but she was pushed hard from behind. She staggered and rushed towards Er Gouzi.
Hua Xian'er pushed Hua Niangzi forward, blocked Er Gouzi and others for her, took off Hua Niang's baggage with money, turned around and ran away.
The flower lady who fell to the ground was in disbelief.
The daughter she cared for so much, the daughter she loved the most, actually pushed her to beggar?
And took all the money she had?
No, no, no, Hua Niangzi doesn’t believe it, no, no, no.
Er Gouzi didn't help Hua Niangzi, he just looked at Hua Xian'er's back and threw the knife in his hand.
Since he entered Beidicheng, he has been practicing martial arts in the martial arts gym opened by Hua Jin, and now he has some skills.
The heavy snow was falling, and the blade of the knife penetrated Hua Xian'er's back in front of her, penetrating from her back into her chest. She stood still, holding the two bundles tightly in her hands, then lowered her head and looked at the tip of the knife emerging from her chest.
She is unwilling...
However, she fell on the snow, and the bright red blood quickly dyed the white ground red.
Hua Jin only found out that Hua Xian'er was dead on the second day.
She wore her long hair, lazily washed up, tied it up casually, put on her cloak and went to the palace meeting hall.
After last night's bloodbath, not a single dignitary came to pay New Year's greetings on this New Year's Day.
So Hua Jin was lazy and sat on the couch in the meeting hall without even washing her face.
Er Gouzi wore a brand-new cloth coat, followed by A Niang and A Mei, who also wore brand-new cloth clothes. The family of three was dressed quite formally.
When Hua Jin sat on the couch yawning, Ergouzi's family, Su Niang's mother and daughter, Wu Tian's father and son, Dabao's father and mother, the city lord's family, and all the palace guards all knelt on the ground and shouted:
"New Year greetings to the Queen Concubine. I wish the Queen Concubine good health and all the best in the new year."
Hua Jin was so frightened that she almost fell off the couch. She looked at the people kneeling in the meeting hall and opened her mouth. For a moment, she didn't know why, but her throat was blocked.
After a while, he swallowed the lump in his throat and looked calm.
"Everyone, get up.
Wu Tian stood up with a smile and brought a tray with red envelopes wrapped in red paper.
Because Hua Jin knew in advance that she had offended many dignitaries in Beidi City, she guessed that no one would come to pay New Year greetings, so no one prepared red envelopes, so Wu Tian and the others prepared them privately.
When Hua Jin saw it, she couldn't help but feel hot in her heart and cleared her throat.
"Give the children red envelopes, good luck, and let's eat chicken tonight."
Wu Tian responded and quickly ordered the kitchen to stew some old hens tonight.
The palace was very lively for a while. The guards were standing guard in every corner of the palace, with warm red envelopes in their arms and the corners of their mouths raised.
The children were playing in the snow in the yard with red envelopes in their hands, and the ladies were busy as if hosting a family banquet, with satisfied and happy smiles on their faces.
Some unmarried girls sat in the pavilion, embroidering, playing chess or talking.
Hua Jin was still sitting in the meeting hall, listening to what the men were saying.
Er Gouzi replied to Hua Xian'er's death that the person was already completely dead and there was no possibility of living again.
Hua Jin nodded, put his hand on a charcoal basin, surrounded the fox fur, and asked:
"How's the flower lady?"
Ergouzi, who was sitting in the lower seat, said respectfully:
"Hua Niangzi was frightened. Maybe she was hit hard by Hua Xian'er's push. She kept talking nonsense, saying that she couldn't die now and would wait until Hua Dalang became the number one scholar and came back to save her. I don't know.
What are you thinking about?"
Hearing this, Wu Tian snorted coldly,
"I'm afraid she knows now that it feels uncomfortable to be pushed out with a palm. She really deserves it. How did she treat our princess back then? She kept asking our queen to forgive her. Can she forgive her now?"
Hua Jin tilted her head slightly and looked at the snowy scene outside the window, remaining silent.
It was only after she passed through that she found out that the reason why she was sold was that her brother fell ill in the ruined temple. In order to raise money for his treatment, Hua Niangzi sold her.
Later, Hua Dalang, the elder brother of Hua Jin and Hua Xian'er, arrived in Beidicheng and went to the Imperial Capital to take the exam.
Yes, the elder brother of the Hua family was a scholar. In Hua Jin's memory, he seemed to be good at reading. He had done very well in the provincial examination.
In fact, no one loves Hua Niangzi. She sold Hua Jin and kept Hua Xian'er, but she doesn't necessarily have a special preference for Hua Xian'er.
Instead, they value the fact that Hua Xianer and Qu Lechang "genuinely love each other."
If you want to say who Hua Niangzi has truly loved in her life, it is her son, Hua Jia Da Lang, Hua Yuan.
After a while, Hua Jincai said:
"After the Chinese New Year, the construction progress of Pig Town will be accelerated. To avoid causing more problems and conflicts, male and female prisoners will have to raise pigs separately."
There was a big battle on a snowy night, and the palace guards also captured many city guards, as well as the servants around Princess Biyue, both men and women.
As long as these people were alive, they were all arrested and raised to raise pigs.
Obviously, the pig farm in the military town could no longer accommodate so many prisoners, so Hua Jin built a pig town next to the military town. Any more prisoners would be put into the pig town to raise pigs.
In addition to the Pig Town, which is dedicated to holding captives and prisoners, there are also pig farms in the suburbs that must be established quickly. After the Chinese New Year, the pig farmers will go to work in the pig farms.
There is also the supply of pork to the vegetable market in Beidicheng. This is the responsibility of the city lord. He opens up the sales channels of the vegetable market, and the city lord gets bonuses.
Things were ordered one by one, and everyone in the Wangfu Group performed their duties. Everyone found what they should do, and they felt content and happy.
In stark contrast to the prosperity of the palace, Princess Biyue...
