Volume Two, The Lake of Winter, Chapter 143: Pigeon Soup (Part 2)
.Sangsang often lowers his head, doesn't like to look at people, but is very good at fearing people.
In the words of the Master Guangming, Sangsang is transparent from the inside out, just like the crystal in the deep mountains, which can reflect the truest face of this world. She can know with certainty who is good to her in this world. Unfortunately, so many years have passed, and she only met a person like Ning Que and died not long ago.
However, she could feel Mrs. Zeng Jing's kindness, so she followed the other party's advice and followed into the inner room, untied the oil-dyed cotton skirt on her body, took off her shoes and put her feet into the warm water.
Sangsang's feet are very small, and his skin is different from other parts of his body. It is as white as snow, and looks like two shiny little white flowers, slowly rippling in the water in the pot.
(See my writing for details here... Hahahaha... The Empire in the Early Morning Volume of the Night, Chapter 25 The First Dream.)
From the beginning of entering the inner room, Mrs. Zeng Jing had basically never blinked. When Sangsang unbuttoned the cotton skirt, her hands in her sleeves were nervously held. When she took off her shoes, her nails were about to fall into sagging. When she entered her palm, she almost fainted when she saw the pair of jiāonèn's feet in the pot, she almost fainted.
Mrs. Zeng Jing did not faint, but she has been in a slight dizzy state since then.
After Sangsang returned to the dining table, the wife trembled with her hands and hugged a jar of pigeon soup in front of her, and her voice trembled slightly, "You have probably suffered a lot in recent years, so hurry up and make up for it now."
Sangsang looked at the oil in the jar and the fine flowers in the soup.
U Ge was slightly stunned, thinking that I seemed to have heard you say it once before, but why did I feel a little different when I listened to it this time?
In the evening, Grand Secretary Zeng Jing returned home.
Mrs. Zeng Jing was very direct, even seemed a little rude and rude to drive away the subordinate officials in the study who came to pay homage to the Grand Secretary, and then walked to him. Before she could say anything, two lines of tears came down when her eyes turned red. .
By the way, Grand Secretary Zeng Jing is also a ruthless person, otherwise it would be impossible for him to make up his mind to part with just one night of his wife, Cui from Qinghe County, and kill three housekeepers, and resolutely join the empress's camp. However, he knew very well that he was now His position in the court actually depends on the position of the wife in front of the empress. In addition to the old things that share the same sorrow and sorrow, he has always loved his wife very much. At this time, he saw her crying before she could not help but be scared. Had a jump.
"Madam, what happened at home?" He asked in a trembling voice, thinking that with his wife's affectionate temper over the years, if it were not for the tragic incident that could not be so tragic.
Mrs. Zeng Jing wiped away the tears from her face, looked at him and said with a forced smile: "Master, it's a good thing."
Zeng Jingyi said: "What good thing?"
Mrs. Zeng Jing looked at his face and said with a smile while crying: "I'm looking for our daughter."
Learning about meeting in the palace on the night of the Lantern Festival and some things that happened in the mansion today, Zeng Jing looked at his wife in disbelief and asked: "Did you say that little girl is our daughter? You...you can confirm ?”
Mrs. Zeng Jing glared at him fiercely and said, "Of course I can confirm my own daughter."
Zeng Jing was also surprised by the sudden news, and stood up and asked, "Is there any evidence?"
Mrs. Zeng Jing said angrily: "It's said that it was my own daughter, so how can I prove it?"
Zeng Jing smiled bitterly and said, "My good lady, don't hide it from your husband anymore. With your temper, if there is no real evidence, how could you tell me? I think you deliberately poured the bowl of pigeon soup today.
.”
Mrs. Zeng Jing covered her mouth and smiled, saying, "It's true that I can't hide it from the master. The bowl of pigeon soup was prepared by me for Chunlan to cool it. In order to pour it on the child's feet, so that she can take off her shoes and let me see it.
Look at her feet, guess what? Her feet are indeed like when they were born more than ten years ago, and they are like two lotus flowers!"
Zeng Jing was slightly stunned and asked, "Is there any other evidence besides this?"
Mrs. Zeng Jing said: "After I gave birth to that miserable child next to the woodshed, I was worried that I would be replaced. I looked carefully before I fainted. There was indeed no birthmark on my body, but my body was dark like a charcoal head and two small feet.
But I'm white and nèn. Isn't this evidence? I don't believe anyone else can grow up like that miserable child."
Zeng Jing remembered the day that would definitely remember the whole life, the blood opposite the alley, the chaos in her house, and the fierce wife at that time used the face of the baby girl as an excuse to accuse her concubine of giving birth.
The monster came out, and then secretly asked several officials to steal the baby girl out of the house... Could it be that the young shiju from Lao Bizhai is her daughter who has been separated for many years? But shouldn't she have died long ago?
He didn't know what he thought of, his eyebrows were sometimes stretched and sometimes tight, and he seemed very embarrassed.
Mrs. Zeng Jing felt that her palm was still aching and said, "What are you hesitating about? You don't want to hurry up and notify Chang'an Mansion, and then think of a way to take our daughter back! I tried my best to endure it before and didn't tell her.
I think you're back and it's OK. I can't stand my daughter being a maid for someone else's house for another day!"
"You have never seen that child. I feel panic when my hands are rough... I don't know how much suffering I have suffered this year.
She heard that she was doing it in the shop, whether it was washing, cooking, cooking, water and making tea. Even if the shop door was broken, she would have to repair it. A family like us didn't say that she was using the servants like this. I really don't know that she is now
What kind of unethical thing is that young master who actually drives her like a cow and a horse! If not, I have to go now..."
As she spoke, she remembered the evil young master of the Sangsang family. Her tears flowed again. She could no longer control her emotions. She walked out of the study, as if she was about to go to Lao Bizhai to pick up someone.
"Stop it!"
Zeng Jing shouted lightly, frowned and sighed after a moment of silence, "If our daughter has been a maid in an ordinary family over the years, it would be easier, but do you know who the young master she is now obedient?"
"That Ning Que is not an ordinary person, he is the owner of the legendary flower opening post. He is highly valued and favored by His Majesty. Only then did I remember that the first name of the chicken soup post was Sangsang?"
Mrs. Zeng Jing was slightly stunned. When she saw Sangsang in the palace that night, she was a little unconscious and forgot about the introduction of the Empress. Only then did she realize that the unethical thing she had scolded for a long time was not in Chang'an City.
Any unscrupulous official's son is the one he often mentioned a few days ago.
"I remembered that the Empress did mention everyone Ning's name."
Mrs. Zeng Jing said, "But so what? Even if Your Majesty likes his words, it is natural for us to take back our own daughter. Who will come to stop it without any intention? I believe Your Majesty will be happy to see this."
Zeng Jing frowned and said, "But do you know Ning Que's other identity?"
"What is the identity?"
"He is a student on the second floor of the academy."
Mrs. Zeng Jing asked in a daze: "There are two floors of the academy?"
Zeng Jing said in a deep voice: "There are many floors in the academy."
Mrs. Zeng Jing frowned and said in dissatisfaction: "Where is the second floor?"
Zeng Jingying said: "Those who can study on the second floor of the academy are all disciples of the Master."
Mrs. Zeng Jing became increasingly confused about why the master mentioned these completely irrelevant things and asked, "Who is the Master?"
Zeng Jing looked at her and shook her head and sighed: "What a fool, the Master is the dean of the academy."
Hearing the four words of the dean of the academy, Mrs. Zeng Jing finally realized the greatness. However, the strong desire to take back the daughter of many years was more important than anything in her heart at this time. She said annoyedly: "Even the dean should be honest and ethical.
Isn't it? And my daughter is just a little maid now. If we don't want to spend more money, what else can he have?"
Zeng Jing shook his head slowly. As an important official in the court, he was of course familiar with the name Ning Que. It was the first time that the wind was caused by the flower opening post.
o, followed by the shock caused by climbing the academy, and the ministers in the court are most concerned about the identity of this person walking in the academy.
Ning Que is a person who has entered the world in the academy. Then when the throne of the Tang Empire is passed down in the future, his opinions are very important. Zeng Jing knew that this person had a close relationship with His Royal Highness. As the queen, he was very worried because he wanted to
The daughter who had been separated for many years was taken back, which affected the queen's arrangements.
But he was inconvenient to say these words to his wife. After a moment of silence, he said, "You can go to the palace tomorrow to listen to the queen's opinion."
Mrs. Zeng Jing has never been to school, and there is no sense of being able to be among these first-class people in the court. However, after that tragic incident in the early years, the empress has been given some teachings and has long since been since her weak and incompetent.
The concubine became a very thoughtful head of the house. Listening to her master's words, she raised her eyebrows slightly and said in a deep voice: "Ignore what the Queen said, but my daughter must recognize her.
of."
"Mr. Thirteenth, Ning Que...academy...why is this?"
Deep in the Qing Palace, the golden bricks were filled with warmth in the air. The Queen looked at the letter in her hand and muttered to herself. The beautiful and charming eyebrows could not hide the meaning of suspicion and vigilance.
The letter comes from the General's Mansion of Tuyang Town Army. In the letter, Xiahou mentioned some recent events in Tuyang City, and said that he had decided to resign from his post as an official in the army and was about to take his armor and return home. He asked her to go to His Majesty.
Tell me your heart.
Only a few people in the world know the true relationship between the Empress of the Tang Dynasty and Xiahou.
The queen knew very well how stubborn and unwilling to give in to the forefront of this brother who loved her to the extreme. What did the two men in the academy do in the wasteland and in Tuyang City, and he decided to admit defeat and return to his old age?
She was very willing to stay away from the bloody battles of her brother, and it was a great ending for her to return to the old man. She was very pleased after seeing this letter, but the process in this matter made her a little confused.
Then Mrs. Zeng Jing arrived at this time.
Listening to Mrs. Zeng Jing's tearful smile, the queen was silent for a long time, then she smiled gently and said, "This is a good thing."!
