blue bird song

Chapter 2
Zhu'er couldn't read, so she glanced secretly, but couldn't see the flowers, so she walked away lightly.Mingyue sat alone, her heart was full of turmoil, which was beyond words.This letter, which was specified to be sent to herself, had no title, no signature, only a copy of the marriage letter, and a heavy sentence: Shen Mo was five months pregnant.

Shen Mo is the eldest daughter of Shen Fu, the general of Datong. She left the court in the spring of the seventh year of Chenghua. Her husband is the young master of the Deng family and Deng Qi, the grandson of the Marquis of Funing.When Shen Mo came out of the pavilion, she was dressed in red makeup, causing a sensation in the capital, and it became a good story.

Is this to borrow my hand to get rid of the serious trouble in my heart?Mingyue was startled, hated, and looking forward to it.If these "young mistresses" can see, she will either die or leave, and won't be stuck in Deng's house!

If you move, you will inevitably marry someone else and become a knife in someone else's hand.If he doesn't move, is it possible to spend three years in this small town?After three years, I am old.

Die and die together!Mingyue thought about it many times before and after, and got worried.

Mingyue beckoned to Zhu'er, whispering in her ear.Zhu'er nodded obediently, "Yes, sister, Zhu'er is at your disposal."

In the delivery room, the "young mistress" woke up after sleeping for two hours. Ah Qing and Ah Zhu rushed forward to serve her, and went to the stove to serve the meal. "Young Mistress" looked indifferent, and only drank half a bowl of chicken soup.

"Where's Ying Niang?" "Young Mistress" asked.At this moment, there was blood on her face, but she was still out of breath and her voice was weak.Ah Qing smiled all over her face, "My sister has been crying and making trouble, she was worried about her, so she went over to have a look."

As she was talking, Yingniang walked in with a baby in her arms, staggering a bit.Ah Qing asked innocently: "Your face is pale, is it cold, are you freezing?" Ah Zhu was slightly startled, "Why is there a piece of paper stuck on your back?"

Yingniang suddenly turned her head and reprimanded: "What nonsense!" Although it was a reprimand, she looked anxious.When she turned around, the "young mistress" on the bed could see her back clearly. Sure enough, there was a piece of paper stuck to her.

"Take it off and let me see." She ordered lightly, her tone flat.Ah Qing hesitated for a moment, then Ah Zhu quickly took it off Yingniang's back, and respectfully handed it to the "young mistress".

Marriage letter? A trace of sarcasm flashed in the beautiful eyes of "Young Mistress", I also have such a marriage letter, it was written by him himself, and he solemnly gave it to me.So what?If the bride is the daughter of the incumbent General Soldier of Datong, the marriage certificate is true, and everyone in the world recognizes it.If the bride is the daughter of General Dragon and Tiger who has died in battle, and there is no father or brother to uphold justice for her, no one will pay attention to the marriage letter.

"What did they say?" The "young mistress" asked Yingniang softly and firmly. Yingniang respected her like a god, so how could she lie in front of her face? In front of the bed, she choked up and said, "They said that Shen Mo is five months pregnant. Everyone in the Funinghou's mansion is full of joy."

Good, good!Deng Qi, you are sorry for me. "Young Mistress"'s pale, bloodless hands trembled, and the marriage certificate in her hand fell to the ground silently.

"Miss, you still have a little miss! Look at her, she looks so tender. She doesn't cry or make trouble, she is more obedient!" Yingniang was heartbroken and panicked, and she was born in a hurry. The soon-to-be little baby girl was held in front of the lady.This is your own flesh and blood, for the sake of the little lady, you, a mother, can't give up on yourself!
Ah Qing and Ah Zhu were so frightened that they avoided going out tremblingly.

The weather that night was extremely bad, with lightning, thunder, and wind and rain.A flash of lightning flashed outside, and rumbling thunder rang out. The two girls were scared out of their wits and hugged each other tightly. If they do something bad, they will be struck by lightning!

In the delivery room, the "young mistress" was silent for a long while, then said gloomily, "Drown!"

Yingniang looked up in disbelief, what?
"Drowning!" Dumb but unquestionable.

There was lightning and thunder, and Yingniang fell to the ground, holding the little baby girl tightly in her arms.

The little baby girl was crying loudly just now, but now the nanny has just fed her, and she is sleeping sweetly with her eyes closed.She was born not long ago, her face is only the size of a pear, her nose and mouth are also small, making her very cute.

Yingniang hugged the baby girl tightly, got up and rushed to the bed and begged, "Miss, take a look at her! She is your own child, and the blood of the Qi family, Mrs. Madam's blood is flowing on her body! Take a look at her, Are you still willing?"

Qi family? "Young Mistress" was heartbroken by these two words, with tears in her bright eyes like autumn water, "Because she is of the blood of the Qi family, she must die. My father and brother are both iron-blooded and indomitable good men. They died in battle, It is an honor to die. Although I, Qi Yu, am a weak woman, I cannot win glory for the Qi family, and I must never discredit the Qi family!"

Deng Qi has already married the noble daughter Shen Mo with three letters and six courtesy, and Qi Yu, who has no males in the family, can fight against them?If you can't fight, you can't fight. I would rather shatter the jade than linger on and endure humiliation.

Yingniang's heart throbbed, and she understood everything in an instant, "Miss, you, do you have a will to die?" Yingniang's voice trembled, full of fear.The most feared thing has finally come, the uncle is unreliable, the young lady is alone and weak, no matter how hard it is to save her.

A smile curled up on the corners of Qi Yu's lips, "Yingniang, the Qi family is going to die, and they are going to die with great vigor and vigor. I'm fine for the time being, don't worry." Qi Baoshan is brave and resolute. His daughter cannot die quietly. In this dark room.

Yingniang's nose was sore, and she cheered up and comforted her: "Miss, you haven't seen my uncle yet, so don't be discouraged. My uncle and you are young friends, how gentle and considerate I am to you, Shen Mo doesn't care. How can it be compared."

What love is, but the moon in the mirror, the flower in the water.Deng Qi swears, didn't he marry Shen Mo in the end?Shen Mo has been pregnant for five months... Calculating the time, it is clear that Deng Qi got married not long after leaving the pavilion, and it became a good thing with Shen Mo.

If you are a boy, you can also entrust it to your great-grandfather, let him lead you to kill a bloody path on the battlefield.But you are a girl, if you stay in Deng's house, one day you will fall into Shen Mo's hands.

You have blood from the Qi family on your body, you are Qi Baoshan's granddaughter.You are not allowed to live in a lowly way, you are not allowed to kneel in front of Shen Mo, make a small bow to such a woman, and let her be rubbed round and flattened.

"Drowning." Qi Yuzhong said again, closed his eyes tiredly, turned around, and never looked back.No matter how windy, rainy, and thunderous it was outside, she seemed to be unable to hear anything, and she didn't want to know anything.

Yingniang's tears fell silently drop by drop, wetting the beautiful swaddle in her arms.The innocent sleeping face of the little baby girl came into Yingniang's eyes, and Yingniang's heart became entangled. The little lady was just born, and she came to reincarnate to be a human being, not to seek death!
Yingniang made quick calculations, carefully hugged the baby in one hand, took out the handkerchief to wipe away tears with the other, and went to the bed resolutely, "Miss, she is the granddaughter of the Qi family, even if she dies, she will die in the Qi family! The filthy place is not the place where her bones are buried!"

Qi Yu, who was lying quietly, moved her eyelids.

Seeing this, Yingniang made up her mind even more, "Miss, I will take her back to the Qi family's old house right now, put a stick of incense in front of the madam's tablet, and report the matter. Please ask the madam to take care of her in the underworld, lest she be little People, being bullied by evil spirits."

After a long time, Qi Yuqing said coldly, "Will they let you go?"

Yingniang knew the elegant meaning after hearing the stringed songs, and she was overjoyed, "Miss, don't worry, there is no unparalleled road!"

She looked down at the baby's delicate little face, and the concern of a hen protecting its chicks spontaneously arose.

Carefully putting the baby on the bed, Yingniang turned around and went out to tell Ah Qing and Ah Zhu, "Order the kitchen to prepare good snacks, melons and fruits, and bring in another big food box." Ah Qing and Ah Zhu were shocked, and Wei Wei agreed , the two went together.

In the middle of the night, Yingniang walked out of the delivery room firmly, holding a large mahogany food box with carved five blessings and longevity. "Young Mistress is not in a good mood, and I can't leave my sister. You stay outside the door, don't call, don't go in." Yingniang ordered coldly, Ah Qing and Ah Zhu nodded repeatedly.

When Yingniang walked to the inner gate, the second gate, and the gate, she was stopped by rough housekeepers everywhere. Although she was smiling all over her face, she questioned her carefully, "It's time now, and the weather is not good. What are you going to do? Holding such a big box, what’s in it.” Yingniang looked proud, “I just got a girl today, you know? Young Mistress ordered me to go back to Qi’s old house to burn incense and tell my wife. The contents are of course offerings and joss sticks. Do you want to open them up and check them out?" The women didn't dare to ask their superiors for instructions.While the women were asking for instructions, Yingniang braved the wind and rain and walked unhurriedly to the gate.

Hu's mother was in a dead sleep, and the door couldn't be opened.In this ancestral home, apart from Madam Hu’s words, the next one is Miss Mingyue, who is the most respectable. The women rushed to ask for advice, and Zhu’er came out impatiently, “You don’t sleep at night, what are you messing about! Go back to the Qi’s old man Is it a house? Let her go!"

Yingniang was wearing a poncho, holding a heavy food box in her hand, standing tall and tall, and said with a sneer, "Is it so embarrassing to put incense on my wife? Good, I will write it down!"

Her heart was almost in her throat, and she prayed over and over in her heart, "Miss, you can't cry. Please, don't cry."

The wives got the order, fucked up, nodded and bowed over, "please, please." Yingniang straightened her spine, sneered twice, and walked out slowly holding the food box preciously.

The food box that Xu Shi was holding was too heavy, and Yingniang staggered and almost fell when she stepped out of the gate.Others didn't pay attention, but Mrs. Chu, who was watching the gate, saw it with her sharp eyes, chased her out and shouted, "Should I call some little girls to serve you?"

In the wind and rain, Yingniang stood her ground and turned her head contemptuously, "Deng's girl, what are you doing with our Qi's?" Mrs. Chu was embarrassed, her face flushed.

"Sister-in-law didn't flatter, did she hit the horse's hoof?" Mrs. Chu went back, and the companions who were working together couldn't help but joke.It's very windy and rainy, she'll leave as soon as she leaves, anyway, if the superiors have something to say to let her go, you're still chasing her out, you're not idle.

Mrs. Chu looked ashamed, and muttered vaguely: "Aren't I soft-hearted? Seeing that she can't hold her anymore, I want the little girl to follow." What was she talking about? Seeing that she was not interesting, she just laughed it off.

After leaving the gate of Deng's house, Yingniang's legs were really weak.Just now, when he was dealing with the women at the inner gate, the second gate, and the main gate, when he waited quietly in front of the gate, he was already sweating profusely.After passing the test, I almost collapsed.

Surrounded by a terrible darkness, like a greedy devil, it seems to devour the whole world.Suddenly, lightning rose into the sky, instantly illuminating the whole world, illuminating the frail figure struggling to move in the heavy rain.In an instant, the lightning disappeared, and the sky and the earth were once again connected as one. People in the wind and rain were shrouded in boundless darkness...

Yingniang has been in the Huiting for three years, and the path is familiar, stepping on the rainwater to a deserted old house.The Qi family is weak, and there is no clan member in Huiting. After the death of the owner and mistress, the door of the Qi family's old house is closed, and only an old and faint old servant looks after the house.

When Yingniang arrived at the gate, she knew that the old servant was deaf, so it was useless to call him.He simply kept silent, carefully placed the food box on the stone pier beside the door, took out a sharp dagger from his pocket, and stuck it in through the crack of the door.

Opening the door, picking up the food box, Yingniang walked along the path to the main house in the backyard.After entering the door, Yingniang took out the fire and lit it, lit a candle, and the originally dark room was brightened.

Yingniang didn't even have time to wipe the rain off her face, she hurriedly opened the food box.In the food box, the little baby girl is sleeping with her eyes closed, her face is peaceful.Yingniang burst into tears, little lady, poor child.

"Miss is your own mother, how can you not love you? As long as you don't get stuck in Deng's house and bow your knees to Shen Mo, miss would rather you live well." After experiencing such a night, Yingniang couldn't bear it any longer. , crying to the little baby in the swaddle, "Miss, you are a descendant of General Dragon and Tiger, you must live well!"

This main room is where Qi Baoshan and others are enshrined.Yingniang was on the verge of collapse, she was talking to the little girl, she didn't notice that there was a fresh offering before Qi Baoshan's spiritual tablet, obviously someone had worshiped it not long ago.

"Miss, you are supposed to be a noble and noble girl, the eldest daughter of the grandson of the Marquis of Funing. Miss, the Deng family and the Qi family were right back then, and they were interested in each other. The matchmakers have been hired and are waiting for you." When my grandfather returns to Beijing in triumph, he will be formally engaged."

"Your grandfather is a well-known victorious general. He has fought countless battles in his life and has never been defeated. Unexpectedly, when the wife and young lady were looking forward to it, there was a battle report from the front. The Celestial Dynasty was defeated by the Mongolian cavalry. All the uncles died in battle!"

Yingniang burst into tears, "When your grandfather left, everything changed. Not only did Mrs. Deng, who was originally affectionate, no longer come to the door, even the matchmaker also avoided seeing him. Hanging filial piety."

Yingniang recalled the past, her heart hurt, and she wept for a while.Afraid of frightening the sleeping child, weeping silently and choking.

"Miss, your mother didn't do anything wrong, and she didn't disregard shame and engage in sex without a matchmaker. Your father and your mother were hired by a matchmaker, and they were respected and courteous."

"Now your father is married to the daughter of the general soldier of Datong. Your mother is lonely and helpless. She has nothing to do with the Deng family. She would rather be broken. But she refuses to make you a concubine of the Deng family and live in humiliation. Miss, although I brought you out Deng's family, but the world is vast, how can we arrange you?"

Yingniang leaned over to look at the baby, and a crystal teardrop fell onto the baby girl's delicate face. "Miss." Yingniang stretched out her hand as if she had been burned, and gently wiped away the tear.

In the middle of the room is a thick and simple altar, on which is hung a long cloth curtain of solemn color, almost hanging to the floor.The curtain was lifted slowly, and a black figure quietly moved out, standing silently in front of Yingniang.

"I have a place to put her." He said calmly.

"Who are you?" Yingniang subconsciously stretched out her hand to protect the baby, her eyes were full of warning, she lightly reprimanded the black figure.

In the dim candlelight, the black-clothed man in front of him was about thirty years old, with a vigorous figure, firm eyes, and a face as sharp as a knife and an axe, tough and resolute.It was obvious from his demeanor that he had been in the army.

After Yingniang was terrified, she quickly picked up the baby and asked angrily in a low voice, "Deng Qi sent you here?"

"The Deng family wants to go back to the little lady!" Yingniang was furious in her heart, and sneered again and again, "What is Deng Qi's plan, do you pretend that I don't know? It is nothing more than using the child to arrest my lady in the Deng's house and fulfill him. You can have both. The Qi family doesn't have a man who is greedy for life and fears death, nor is there a daughter who is obsessed with life and gets by, my lady would rather die than let him get what she wants!"

The man in black stood still, silent.Yingniang held the baby tightly in her arms, looked at him vigilantly, not daring to let go.It was raining heavily outside the window, Yingniang was tense all over, and the back of her clothes had already been wet with sweat.

"I have a place to put her." The man in black's voice was low and full of confidence, "My brother-in-law is about to give birth, and the child will be entrusted to her to raise, and the public only said that she had twins."

He was tall and straight, and his tone was very firm. Yingniang somehow liked him, "Are you really not someone sent by Deng Qi?"

The man in black pointed to the sacrifices on the table, "I used to serve under the account of General Qi and served as a vanguard officer. Now I am disarmed and return to the fields, and return to the countryside to work in agriculture. Tonight... tonight I come here to worship the general."

Yingniang's expression darkened, "Master sent troops to Mongolia in the middle of summer. The Celestial Empire was defeated in the battle of Yuerhai. Master and his [-] soldiers died in battle. Unknowingly, four years have passed .”

The man in black's fists clenched and rattled, his breathing became heavy, and his expression was in unbearable pain.Yingniang was very vigilant, and felt something was wrong with him, so she hugged the baby tightly and remained silent.

It was also such a thunderstorm night, in the wild land beyond the Great Wall, the sound of killing was loud and bloody.Soldiers fell down one after another, and corpses lay in front of them one after another... The man in black covered his eyes in pain, not daring to think about it.

There was a thunderstorm outside the window, and the room was silent.
