"This is really a good thing that doesn't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles!"
After listening to Fubai's narration, Ji Chen turned around and walked towards the eldest lady's house, as soon as he stepped on the steps and did not enter the door, he heard the pearl and green ding dong in the house, and the eldest lady lifted the Xiangfei curtain and walked out by herself.The eldest lady was wearing a crimson close-fitting silk robe, the hair on her head had not been pulled up, she was completely like she had just gotten up from the bed, she stood at the door of the room, her face was a little blue, her eyes were staring at Fu Bai, because she was emotional, her lips trembled slightly, and a pair of phoenix eyes were full of disbelief: "What you said is true?"
”"How dare the slave and maid have half a lie......"
Fubai lowered her head, her voice small.The courtyard was quiet and terrifying, and the maids didn't dare to breathe, and even the yellow orioles that had been chirping on the branches had already flown away.Fu Bai's faint voice really fell into the ears of the eldest lady, and these words seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, instantly defeating the eldest lady.The eldest lady is like a leaf that has entered autumn, and she has grown old in an instant."
Mother!"
Ji Chen stepped forward to support the eldest lady, looking at the eldest lady's face as if she was dead, Ji Chen's face was full of distress: "Mother, don't worry, don't worry, I will find a way to suppress this matter." ”The eldest lady smiled bitterly twice and said nothing.If only the people of the Tengwang Mansion knew about this matter, they might be able to suppress it, but now that the city knows about it, how can they block the mouths of the people."
Mother, I'll help you into the house, and we'll discuss countermeasures."
Ji Chen helped the eldest lady to walk into the house, and comforted the eldest lady in a low voice: "Mother, don't be too sad, it's just a fire, our vine king's mansion is a century-old family, and we won't fall because of this matter." ”The eldest lady sat at the head of the bed with Ji Chen's support, she looked at her son who kept comforting her, and tried to squeeze out a smile.It's okay not to laugh, but when you laugh, the eldest lady's lifeless face looks even more bitter."
Mother......"
Ji Chen looked at the eldest lady's expression, his heart was heavy, he didn't know what else to say at the moment, so he stepped forward to help the eldest lady press her shoulder.The eldest lady looked at Ji Chen, swept her eyes in the room, and saw Chu Heng, who had just followed the two of them in.Chu Heng was bowing her head and looking like she was trying to reduce her sense of existence, but she was clearly standing in the most conspicuous position in front of the door.When Ji Chen saw that Chu Heng actually followed the house, he couldn't help but be angry and funny: "Chu Heng, you go back first, you'll talk about it later." ”Hearing this, Chu Heng raised his head and looked at Ji Chen: "The slave maid just sent something to the eldest lady." ”Ji Chen saw that Chu Heng was unyielding, and a touch of anger immediately appeared in his eyes, but the eldest lady was in a bad mood now, and he didn't want to attack in front of the eldest lady, so he had to suppress his anger and said to Chu Heng: "Put things here, you go first." ”Chu Heng took out the jade pendant named Mei Shoushou from his sleeve.Normally, in this case, there is the eldest lady's personal maid who comes up to get the jade pendant, but at this time, Fu Bai should go down to change clothes, and other maids dare not enter the house when they see that the atmosphere is not good, Chu Heng hesitated for a moment, then took two steps forward and handed the jade pendant directly to the eldest lady."
This jade is called Meishou, according to legend, it is the thing of the emperor's favorite concubine Xifei, and it was found by the slave's father Chu San with great difficulty, and it is rumored that Concubine Xi is because of this jade ......"
The eldest lady stretched out her hand to stop Chu Heng's words, she raised her eyes to look at the jade pendant, and simply nodded: "Okay, put it on the table." ”Chu Heng had no choice but to swallow back the words in his mouth, turned around and put the jade pendant on the small table next to the bed.After stabilizing the jade pendant, Chu Heng took two steps back and knelt on the ground with a pop.Seeing this, the eldest lady frowned, very disgusted, and Ji Chen's eyes were also angry.This maid really doesn't know how to look at it, Ji Chen really doesn't understand why her eldest brother wants to maintain this kind of maid, she didn't see that the master was worried, and she didn't know how to take care of her own trivial things.But Ji Chen really didn't want to block the eldest lady at this moment, so it was not easy to send Chu Heng down, so he pretended to be angry and said: "Chu Heng, you go back first, and you will talk about it later." ”The eldest lady turned her head sideways and supported her forehead with her hand, not in the mood to deal with Chu Heng at all.Chu Heng saw that the eldest lady was worried and felt empathy, so he ......"
Chu Heng directly skipped Ji Chen, she straightened up, and looked up at the eldest lady with a straight back: "The slave is willing to share the worries of the lady." ”The eldest lady turned her face to look at Chu Heng at this time, but there was no light in her eyes: "I know your filial piety, go back." ”After a while, Chu Heng had been picked up by her master countless times, but she still knelt there steadily, completely ignoring the impatience of others: "Big lady, the slave knows that the big lady is worried about the rumors caused by the Tianhuo warning. ”The eldest lady was already upset, but seeing that Chu Heng was unyielding, she finally broke out, waved her hand and swept away the tea cup on the small table, and after the crisp sound of porcelain shattering, it was the eldest lady who roared with pain: "You know what it is!"
But anyone who has eyes knows it!
But what's the use!
Get out of here, and I'll lock you up if I don't get out!"
”The porcelain piece that landed on the tea cup splashed, and a piece of porcelain jumped in front of Chu Heng, marking a bloody mark under Chu Heng's ear.Chu Heng completely ignored the bloodstains, but made a big salute to the eldest lady, she folded her hands in front of her, and kowtowed to her head: "Back to the eldest lady, the slave or maid may have a way to survive this catastrophe." ”There was silence in the room for a while, and after a few breaths, the eldest lady got up suddenly, ignoring the fragments, and just stood in front of Chu Heng: "You say, you have a way to solve this crisis?"
”"Yes."
Chu Heng straightened up and looked up at the eldest lady: "Madame may want to hear the slave's method." ”The eldest lady Xiao was aware of her gaffe, she stabilized her emotions, and only then spoke again, but there was still a shallow tremor in her voice: "Say it." ”"The slave's method is very simple."
Chu Heng's voice was as crisp as a jade collision, and the words were clear: "Whose house the heavenly fire fell to, the people will generally think that this is because that family has done something harmful to the heavens, and this is the so-called heavenly fire warning."
But the slave maid thinks that there is another possibility of the heavenly fire warning, that is, this family is a family of goodness, and it is favored by God, and when this family is about to suffer, the heavens will send down heavenly fire to remind this family of goodness, so that they can be alert and minimize the loss. ”"You mean, this fire warning is not to warn us, but to remind us?""
Exactly, but if we want the people to believe this, we have to do something else."
Chu Heng paused, and continued: "For example, in the ruins of the Buddhist hall that was burned by the heavenly fire, some miracles were found......
As soon as Chu Heng's words fell, the eldest lady's eyes immediately lit up, and she answered: "For example, a stone, a poem on the stone reminding the palace to be careful of villains!"
”Chu Heng nodded: "It's best to find a senior monk to come to the Buddha Hall to see feng shui, and then spread a few more plausible words, let the people figure it out for themselves, this snowball will roll bigger and bigger, and then the people themselves will come to round this rumor for the palace."
What's more, wasn't the prince of my vine king's mansion just killed?
Isn't this a catastrophe for the palace?
