Concubine Chongxi: Binding the Medicine Jar to the Master

Chapter 333 Just You Don't Cry

Baili Jiuge couldn't recover from the shock for a long time.

I thought it was just a glass of poisoned wine, and it was enough to poison Wang Zhi, but how could I have imagined that the ending would turn out to be tragic.Mrs. Wang clearly deserved death, but she foolishly drank poisonous wine, and she just took her life.

And the five-year-old...

What's wrong with the child?

At the age of five, when he was still ignorant of the world of mortals, what right did Wang Zhi, as a father, have to decide the life and death of his child?
Baili Jiuge also knew that Wang Zhi killed his son because he was afraid that his son would be abused by the people of Guicheng if he had no father or mother. He would rather die than be humiliated...

But after all, she couldn't agree with such an approach.

Involuntarily, the memories that I had long been unwilling to think about were awakened, and flooded into Baili Jiuge's thoughts again.

Many years ago, on that frosty night in the year of Bingxu, she was just a child who didn't understand the world at that time, but the woman who claimed to be her mother vented the worldly resentment on her.That cold knife ruined her appearance and left a scar in her heart from now on.

Baili Jiuge suddenly looked up, feeling sour in his stomach, about to surge up.

Heh, disfigurement...it's just being disfigured, what is it?

If it was the knife at the beginning, it would have pierced her heart just like Wang Zhi.Then, will she still have the next ten years?Will she still taste all kinds of flavors?
Not anymore.

If you die young, you will lose everything...

At this fragile moment, the gentle hand embraced Baili Jiuge's slender body and comforted her gently.

Baili Jiuge leaned into her familiar embrace, she smiled blushingly, shook her head and said, "I'm fine, Mo Li, I was just thinking about it just now, anyway, I'm not worried about it anyway. There are still some follow-up things If you are busy, I will help you, let's go together."

Mo Li smiled softly, kissed Baili Jiuge's forehead, and said: "Okay."

Therefore, during the whole day, the two of them didn't take much rest. They had just taken over Lu Cheng, and there were too many cumbersome things.Baili Jiuge felt very tired, but as long as he could help Mo Li, he would feel warm in his heart and always be motivated.

At noon, Mo Li ordered people to return the clothes and hats of the soldiers who died in Lucheng to their families. The soldiers of Zhou State helped to dig and build the tomb, and Baili Jiuge also went to meet the people who had lost their families. Trying to appease them.Gu Yan naturally followed Baili Jiuge and tried his best to help.

During this period, Baili Jiuge also saw Wang Zhi's body being hanged by the people at the entrance of the vegetable market in Lucheng, being scolded by the people.

After all, there was a grievance and a debtor, so Mo Li asked Yufeng to properly bury the corpses of Mrs. Wang and her five-year-old son.

Baili Jiuge didn't want to think about it anymore. She walked through the streets, but what she thought about repeatedly in her mind was another important thing-the whereabouts of Mo Hong.

Ever since she and Mo Li entered Lu City, they hadn't seen Mo Hong. Mo Li asked the soldiers to search, but they searched the entire Lu City, but they couldn't find Mo Hong.

It seems that he escaped.

Thinking of the knife that Mo Hong stabbed Mo Li in the heart, and the fact that Concubine Liang was still alive, Baili Jiuge felt a knot in his heart, and he cared very much.

Walking by the lake right now, all I could think about was this matter, and I was too focused on it. As a result, I accidentally stepped on the ground and stepped into the water with one foot.

Baili Jiuge screamed and pulled back. A red embroidered shoe was already wet and covered with a lot of mud.She smiled, it was nothing serious, it happened that this scene was seen by two women, and the two hurried over and said, "Why are you so careless, concubine Shi Zi? Our house is nearby, you come over to warm up by the fire Let's dry your shoes and socks."

Baili Jiuge smiled and said: "Thank you, I don't have anything to do, so I won't go."

The two women quickly waved their hands and said solemnly: "It's already the twelfth lunar month. If your shoes and socks are kept so wet, it will be bad for your health. The princess should come to our house quickly."

"That's it...well then, I'll trouble you." Baili Jiuge smiled, and was about to go with them, when Jing Liufeng's shout was heard from a distance.

"Nine songs! Nine songs!"

Why are you here?

Baili Jiuge turned his eyes, and saw Jing Liufeng holding his lapel, hurrying over, out of breath.

Baili Jiuge felt a chill in his heart, and hurriedly greeted him, took the jacket, and sneered, "Mother, your body hasn't fully recovered yet, how can you walk so fast?"

Jing Liufeng panted and said, "I'm fine, but she's been crying all the time."

Baili Jiuge patted his lap, the little guy was about to cry just now, since Jing Liufeng appeared, that shrill cry made Baili Jiuge's heart feel like being scratched by a cat.

She smiled and patted the swaddling baby, coaxing Jin'er, thinking that she just fed Jin'er and changed her diaper not long ago. It is said that Jin'er should be sleeping soundly at this time, how could she be crying like this? sad?
What happened to Jin'er?
Baili Jiuge looked at Jin'er's tear-filled pupils and her twisted little face, feeling anxious, as if her heart was being burned by poisonous fire.

Jing Liufeng's eyes were full of self-blame, if she had raised Jiu Ge, she wouldn't know nothing about it.

At this time, the two women came over and said: "Concubine Shizi, if you don't dislike us, let us help you to see the little county master. We have all had children and have some experience."

Baili Jiuge hurriedly said: "Then I will trouble you."

The two women repeatedly said that they would not be troublesome, and then they cite Baili Jiuge and went to their home.

They flung themselves on the warm quilt on the bed, Baili Jiuge put down the quilt, and the little doll was still crying loudly.Baili Jiuge patted her and unwrapped Jin'er. At the same time, a woman brought a charcoal brazier and placed it under the couch to warm Jin'er's body.

"Concubine Shizi, I think the problem may be the little county princess's clothes..."

Hearing the woman's doubts, Baili Jiuge asked in puzzlement: "What's wrong with the clothes? Jin'er has always been wearing these clothes, and she never cried before."

The woman said: "It's better to ask Shi Zifei to untie the clothes of the little county magistrate, and show us the clothes, maybe we can find the problem."

"Oh, good." Baili Jiuge hurriedly started, reluctant to let Jin'er cry for a moment longer.

After untiing Jin'er's clothes, Baili Jiuge put Jin'er under the warm quilt, wrapping up the immature body.Jin'er was still crying, but she stopped wailing, sniffing her nose and choking, staring at Baili Jiuge with two round, dark eyes, blinking aggrievedly.

The two women held the clothes in their hands, carefully checked the inside and outside, and soon found something.

"Concubine Shizi, it's the corners of the clothes that have turned up. Look here..." The women picked up the problematic position and handed it to Baili Jiuge. She stretched her neck and her eyes fell on that position.

Sure enough, the corners of the thread were warped, and several corners of the thread were knotted and raised a little.That part happened to be Jin'er's armpits, and it suddenly dawned on her, no wonder Jin'er was about to cry, the baby's skin was too tender, the corners of that line must have made Jin'er very uncomfortable.

Then, a set of worn-out baby clothes was handed over, and the woman held the set of clothes and said, "The purpose of dressing a little doll is to wear this kind of comfortable clothes. The county magistrate will feel very comfortable wearing it and won't cry."

Baili Jiuge nodded gratefully, took the clothes, checked them, and quickly changed the clothes.Jing Liufeng also took a silk handkerchief to wipe away the tears for Jin'er.

Because of wearing comfortable clothes, although the quilt looked a lot more rustic, she didn't cry anymore. Instead, she grinned after a while, and the immature laughter echoed in the house. Laughing, he stretched out his little hand to hug Baili Jiuge.

"Jin'er..." Baili Jiuge breathed a sigh of relief, wrapped Jin'er back in her swaddling clothes, hugged her back into her arms, bowed her head and pressed Jin'er's cheek, and said with a sincere smile: "Great, don't you It's fine to cry, but you know that when you cry, my heart feels like someone is grabbing me, and I'm really anxious."

The two women also showed joy, and said again and again: "Great, this is really great."

Then, they took Baili Jiuge and Jing Liufeng to sit for a while, and told them little by little the knowledge of taking care of babies.

Both Baili Jiuge and Jing Liufeng listened carefully, especially Baili Jiuge, took a pen and paper from the woman's house, and took notes on some key points, for fear of causing discomfort again.

She devoted all her attention to her studies, and because of this, she forgot about her wet shoes and socks.And by the time he realized it, it was already an hour later.

When bidding farewell to the two women, Baili Jiuge found out that they were sisters-in-law. Their husbands died of illness two years earlier, so the two of them brought their children to live together and did rough work. Tired work, pulling children.

According to the two of them, their lives are extremely difficult. The two women and Taoists have to bear such taxes and raise children. They have never had enough food and clothing.If Lucheng hadn't changed hands this time and Zhou Shizi distributed food to them, they might not be able to survive the Xin Chou Nian.

Baili Jiuge looked around their house, the conditions were indeed too simple.The furniture and utensils are old and full of cracks, and the roof is still leaking.She was sore in her heart, and immediately smiled brightly: "Don't worry, Moli is here, and you will all have a good time this year!"

The women nodded, tears of gratitude welling up in their eyes.

Baili Jiuge bid farewell to them.

Holding the lapel in his arms, he walked on the street with Jing Liufeng, all the way back to the prefect's mansion, Baili Jiuge's wet shoes and socks were dried, and they were not too wet and cold.

She wrapped her skirt tightly, and heard Jing Liufeng say: "Time flies so fast, it will be another year in a blink of an eye."

Yes, Baili Jiuge smiled.It is the twelfth lunar month now, and soon it will be time for thousands of families to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, but because I am traveling around and rushing on the battlefield, the atmosphere of the new year must be far away from me.

I just feel that the passing of time is like an hourglass, and I can clearly count its loss bit by bit, but when I look back suddenly, I don’t know when, the full hourglass has only a thin layer left .

Even this year of Xin Chou is about to come to an end...
