box of hearts

Chapter 45: Welcome the Cyclamen (10)
Hearing this, Qingtian was half angry, but half relieved.Li Yishu has always been frivolous, and has been hooking up with several prostitutes in several yards. If it is because of coveting Zhaohua's beauty, it is not unusual to do something while he is kneading and rubbing his skin; , everything is easy to say.Thinking of this, she raised her hand to wipe away the teardrops under her eyelashes, "I told my mother a long time ago that Li Yishu should stay away from you, and my mother just ignored it, and something happened. Now In this way, I don't care whether you are affectionate or unintentional. In short, you have seen the true face of this lustful person early. It is a blessing in misfortune. Mom was afraid to teach you badly, so I never mentioned it. In fact, I lit a big candle back then. It's not the time. The plague student shook me both ears, got up from me, and cursed all the way out without even fastening his pants."

Qingtian gathered a string of musk beads for her, "Even if Wu Dashao is unreasonable, he will only trouble Mom with this kind of thing, and will not embarrass you. As for Mom, she will settle accounts with you." Yes, I was stupid back then, I kept my mouth shut and let her beat me, now I teach you to be a good boy, you just tell your mother: 'If you do business, don't hit me, if you want to hit me, I will die in front of you, I have died a lifetime People who suffer, if you don’t want the next ten years of money, just play it well.” When you first came here, you were only worth 400 taels of silver. It’s not sure whether the business will be good or not. Yes, but now you are the most popular Qing Dynasty official, and you have four to five hundred bills in a few days. You just begged your mother to kill you and she refused. After all, it was a big deal, you It's a big idea."

Zhaohua bit her lip and smiled, but she shuddered again and started crying again, "Unfortunately, it's too late! Sister, my stomach hurts, it's from poison, my stomach hurts so much, Sister, I'm afraid of death..."

Qingtian Ren Zhaohua writhed in pain for a while in her arms, and patted her with his hand, "Ai, ai."

"Ok?"

Qingtian moved his chin slightly, looked at the flower with his eyes, and saw a small pool of blood on the satin mattress under his body, dripping blood, and finally meandering into his silk trousers.She was stunned for a while, and then she regained her composure, staring at Qingtian suspiciously, "Sister, what you gave me to drink is——"

"Removing blood stasis, promoting blood circulation and regulating qi." Looking at the puddle of menstrual blood on the bed again, Qing Tian shook his head and sighed with a smile, "You little girl is really lucky. Now that you're here, I've come up with a perfect plan. You Is the menstruation right?"

Zhaohua's eyes shone brightly, and he stared at Qingtian without blinking, "Sure! There is always a day or two before and after."

"In this way, you haven't set the date for lighting the big candles next month, have you? According to the rules, you always ask a Mr. Xuanjuan to calculate the auspicious day, and you are going to secretly give the gentleman ten taels of silver to let him set the date at On the day when your menstruation is coming to an end. That night before having intercourse with the fifth youngest, you wash your hair with raw alum and pomegranate peel decoction. Red, just pretend to be painful, don’t be afraid to cover it up.”

Zhaohua was like a revelation from the apocalypse, and she nodded repeatedly while listening.

Qing Tian pinched a light red purple orchid from a vase placed on the side, and inserted it into one side of her bun to illuminate the flower, "Silly boy, won't you die?"

In less than half a quarter of an hour, the yin and yang had shuttled back and forth, and Zhaohua couldn't help but sweat all over his brow, pouted his mouth wanting to cry and laugh, and shook his head in embarrassment.

Qingtian smiled and stood up, with a decisive and gentle tone: "Don't worry about Li Yisuo, I won't mention a word to anyone. And what I told you just now, when I go out, you will forget it." Go ahead. Alright, you rest, I'll ask the girls to come in and clean up with you."

"Sister!" Zhaohua jumped out of the bed, so anxious that she stepped on one pair of two-color hibiscus shoes, rushed to Qingtian with her hands clasped, and stared eagerly, "Sister, I can already set up more than ten sets in one night. I'm drinking, and if I continue to do this, my business is going to be good. If a customer secretly gives me money, I will save it, and I won't waste a penny, so I can redeem you in the future."

Undefended, Qingtian's eye sockets suddenly became bloody and hot in front of the pair of black and clear eyes in front of him.

Zhaohua opened her palms and held her hands, "Sister, when I was a girl at home, I felt dirty even when I heard people say the word 'brothel'. I thought of the women in the brothel. They must all look like demons and ghosts, ugly. But that day, my sister, you took me out for the first time. You wore a green and gold pipa skirt and an emerald crown on your head. You sang songs to the guests in the hall. The pipa in the song is flowing from the spring, the big pearls and small pearls fall into the jade plate, your voice - I didn't understand it at the time, but I can say it now - it's called "Kunshan Yu Sui", I just stared at you blankly from the side, feeling you She is a fairy in the Nine Heavens. Sister, I have always been conceited about my looks and talents, but I am nothing in front of you. You are so beautiful, so beautiful that I want to be your maid! Really sister, I am willing to serve you for the rest of my life. Back then It was you who asked me to stay in Huaihua Hutong. As long as I still have a bite of food for Zhaohua in this place, I will never let you go to Yaozi Street. Sister, don’t forget, you swore to the statue of the white-browed immortal If you seek death, how will I live? Sister Qingtian, if you want me to live, you will live too." Zhaohua smiled and stretched out a curved stick to her. little finger.

From the extreme blur, Qingtian looked at the smiling girl, as if he saw himself in the past.The little girl with the most stubborn temper and the most beaten, but always the most outstanding little girl, no matter what kind of hardships, she is working hard happily.This girl has tried her best to grow into the best version of herself, and today it is her turn to give this little girl a decent ending.

This ending should not be a bowl of arsenic stirred with a nobile.

Qingtian blinked quickly, and smiled slowly in the water.She also held out her little finger, hooking it with Zhaohua.

This is an agreement between a grown woman and a little girl, and this is what Qingtian owes to Qingtian.

When she came out of Zhaohua's room, the onlookers were still poking their heads at the door.Under her signal, two or three maids rushed in, but Mu Yun stood there holding a piece of paper with a white face, "Girl, what is this?"

Qingtian didn't know how to answer, Shicai was eager to save people, carelessly left the "suicide note" on the table, and asked Mu Yun to find out.With a smile, she wiped away the tears streaming down from the servant girl, "Go back to the room first."

As soon as he got back to the house, Qing Tian picked up the bowl of arsenic on the table and poured it into the chrysanthemum pot that Qiu Jinqi had given him earlier, staring at the petals suddenly shrinking and withering, "Mu Yun, you don't need anything!" Said, I won’t do it anymore.” She dragged out another cage, threw out a few old clothes, crumpled up the two suicide notes and threw them in, and then began to search all over the house: a piece of embroidered clothes beside the pillow. A handkerchief with Bingdi Begonia, a brown bamboo fan on the half-moon table, a thick stack of poem manuscripts in the bookcase... Take one, throw the same in the box.Mu Yun stared blankly for a moment, then wiped her face with her hand, and began to look for it, found it, and threw it away.

There are so many things, all of which are gifts, works, writings, and paintings by Qiao Yunze... The master and servant are busy until midnight, and the last two are the affidavit and the wedding dress.Qingtian took a final look at the blood-and-blood oath between her and Qiao Yunze, and with a violent force, tore a piece of Xue Tao paper into pieces, and then grabbed the wedding dress in his hand, shaking convulsively.Where is this affectionate wedding dress?It is clearly a net made of countless threads, a trap made of countless stitches, it is a shroud of betrayal and betrayal.Her eyes fell on the corner of the scarlet gold thread clothes that was splashed black with ink, she felt extremely filthy and filthy, she threw it whole into the bottom of the box with a flick of her hand.The man also sat down on the ground, put his arms on the edge of the box, and buried his head deeply.Mu Yun gritted her broken teeth, and before she could say anything, the door rang twice, and she saw Second Sister Duan stepping in with twists and turns.

"Mom is going to sleep, so I came here to check on my heart. What are you doing? It's not too early to hurt like this—" Second Sister Duan stopped talking, and she saw the box and the bruises from the box. A red dress came out.After the ever-changing expression, he let out a breath and smiled, "My dear daughter, you don't know how worried your mother is. Just figure it out. The world is thin, and there is only kindness in the belly, and there is no alliance in the belly. This person I said earlier that the lips are so thin, hmph, at first glance, it looks like a white-eyed wolf, and it would be unlucky if you touch it. If it weren't for him, why would Xizhu be killed by that surnamed Jiao? It's not that you—"

"Mom," Qingtian stood up with the box propped up, and rubbed his hands on the skirt, "I won't mention this person in the future, okay?"

The second sister Duan hung in the air for a moment, and nodded her head, "Okay, okay, I won't mention it in the future!" She put a hand on Qingtian's shoulder and looked at it, and sighed deeply: "Daughter, I used to secretly give it to you for you. For his money, I’ve hit you countless times, just because I’m afraid you’ll suffer. Now, how about it, you’ve got nothing to lose, right?”

Mu Yun next to her couldn't hear the insult, and moved forward, "Mom—"
