Chapter 143 Chen Xue's Death

After three consecutive days of clouding, it finally rained, and it was still raining heavily. The rain fell on the floor and splashed rain flowers one by one.

Yuxi lived in the country village for more than a year in her previous life, so she quickly got used to the life in the country. But the maids around me haven't gotten used to it yet.

Standing under the eaves, Yuxi looked outside and said with a smile: "Standing here, you can smell the wild vegetables and soil."

Seeing that Yuxi had more smiles on her face since she came to the country than she was in the Duke's Mansion, Zisu felt a little unwillingness in her heart. Said: "Girl, I heard that there are mushrooms on the mountain after it rains. I will go talk to Zhuangtou later and ask him to ask someone to go to the mountain to pick up mushrooms and come back tomorrow. Then let Aunt Guo cook chicken stewed mushrooms for the girl. "Although she came to the countryside, Yuxi's food standard has not been lowered at all. Fortunately, Zhuangzi is next to the official road, with convenient transportation, and it is close to the capital, so it is convenient to sell everything. If it is according to Han Jingyan's intention, who knows which valley to send it to.

Of course, besides the convenience of shopping near the capital, the other biggest advantage is that Yuxi is the biggest in the farm. No matter what she wants to do, she only needs to give an order, and Zhuangtou dare not refute even a word.

Rain is good, but three days in a row is unbearable. Yuxi called Zhuangtou and said, "Will the harvest be poor after raining for so many days?" Yuxi herself does not have to worry about food and clothing, but since she lives in this Zhuangzi, she definitely hopes that the people in Zhuangzi can have enough to eat Dress warmly. Of course, since Yuxi bought this villa, the life of the tenants in the villa is much better than before.

Zhuangtou nodded heavily, and said: "With such heavy rain, the seedlings have all fallen in the field. The rice that fell in the field will germinate, and the loss will be great." I only hope that it will rain soon, and they will rush to harvest it immediately. Losses can be reduced.

Yuxi was not familiar with farming, so she said: "You understand this, if you have any difficulties, please tell me."

Zhuangtou walked away with a heavy face.

This night, Yuxi was still reading in the room. In rural areas, there is not so much attention. Yuxi separated the bedroom into a small room and used it as a study.

While reading a book, Yuxi heard a knock on the door. Yuxi is a little strange, country people go to bed late, who knocks on the door so late at night.

After a while, the woman who was guarding the gate of the second entrance courtyard came in and said, "Girl, the young owner of Zhuangzi next door has a fever and needs to be sent to the capital. But the carriage is stuck in the mud and they can't get out. They want to borrow our carriage." Or not? , Yuxi has the final say.

Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda, and this kind of thing must be helped. Yu Xi said: "Lend it to them! Let Han Ji go with him, maybe he can take care of you." If the other party is a woman, Yu Xi will go and see. No matter what, I have memorized medical books for so many years. I haven't practiced it, but I have rich theoretical knowledge. But it's a man, that's fine.

Yu Xi didn't take this matter to heart either, and it wasn't until Han Ji came back the next afternoon that Yu Xi knew that it was the second master of the Chen family who had a fever.

Yuxi was surprised and said: "The Zhuangzi next to it belongs to the Chen family?" Before that, Yuxi originally wanted to buy the nearby fields and mountains. But later, knowing that the other party had no such intention, he gave up.

Han Ji shook his head and said, "No, it's Mrs. Taining Hou's dowry Zhuang Zi." Being outside is no better than being at home. There are many trivial things to be taken care of, and Yuxi is inconvenient for a big girl. So Han Jianming chose Han Ji for Yuxi, and let Han Ji handle all the outside affairs.

Yuxi was a little strange: "It's mid-June now, and it's going to be the autumn of August soon. At this time, Second Master Chen is not in the capital to prepare for the rural examination. What are you doing in Zhuangzi?"

Han Ji said: "Something happened in the Marquis of Taining, Mr. Chen is probably not thinking about it!"

Yuxi was a little suspicious, and asked: "What's the matter?" She came to Zhuangzi for the past few days, because she didn't want to hear outside rumors,

Therefore, Yuxi didn't let anyone inquire about the news from outside.

Han Ji said: "The eldest daughter of the Chen family died of illness, so she was buried on the Zhuangzi." Unmarried girls cannot be buried in the ancestral grave, so they can only choose other places for burial. The mountains here are beautiful and the Feng Shui is good, so the Chen family buried Miss Chen here.

Yuxi was a little surprised: "Miss Chen died of illness? When did it happen?" Why didn't she hear any news. Well, she's in a bad mood recently, she doesn't know where the future is, she even has the idea of ​​escaping from the capital, so she doesn't care about outside affairs.

Han Ji said: "It happened five days ago, and it was buried two days ago." At that time, the coffin was still passing by the official road. But Yuxi stayed in the house and didn't come out, so no one would tell her about this kind of thing. After all, it is unlucky for the eldest daughter of the Chen family to die at the age of eighteen.

Yuxi recalled the rumors back then, and couldn't help asking: "Han Ji, did the girl from the Chen family really get scared to death?" At this time, Yunqing was not as vicious as the rumors later said, and now she was grumpy at best. The murderous intent was a little heavier. The eldest daughter of the Chen family was born in the family of a military general, and she was frightened to death just because the other party killed a few more people. Yuxi felt weird no matter what she thought.

Han Ji didn't know why Yu Xi suddenly said such a sentence, and said, "Who said she was scared to death? Miss Chen died of illness."

Yuxi was a little embarrassed: "I heard before that the girl from the Chen family fell ill from fright because she knew that Yunqing killed people like crazy."

Han Ji didn't know who Yuxi listened to, but he explained very seriously: "Girl, Master Chen knows that Yunqing is in the northwest, and wants to marry the eldest daughter of the Chen family to the northwest. When the eldest daughter of the Chen family heard this The news fell ill. I heard that the second master of the Chen family wanted Chen Houye to retire, but Chen Houye didn't agree, and the father and son even had a quarrel."

Yuxi was a little surprised and said: "You mean, the eldest girl of the Chen family didn't want to marry to the northwest, so she died of depression? That's not right, it's only been less than two months." Where there is sand, it is understandable not to want to marry. But he passed away because of this illness, and it took less than two months, which is too fragile.

Han Ji hesitated for a while and said: "The Chen family thought Yun Qing was dead, so they revisited the eldest daughter of the Chen family at the beginning of the year." It is understandable for the Chen family to do so, Yun Qing has been missing for eight years and has not heard from her. , I can't let a girl guard her forever!

Yuxi really didn't know about this: "The Chen family is optimistic about him?"

Han Ji nodded and said: "Look good, it's Lin Shao, the grandson of General Lin, the family friend of the Chen family. The Lin family is ready to make a ceremony, and at this time there is news that Yunqing is still alive."

Yu Xi muttered, this Chen Xue is really unlucky. The news will come back later in the evening, and if the dowry is paid here, it will become a settlement. Even if the news that Yunqing is alive comes back, it can't be changed. It's really enough to be hated at this time: "Isn't the Chen family discussing marriage? Why don't they just break off the marriage contract with Yunqing?" There has been a new marriage negotiation here, let Chen Xue marry Yunqing again, At that time, Yunqing will definitely have pimples in his heart. If a man has a knot in his heart, it's no wonder that a woman can live well. Furthermore, marrying to a place like the Northwest would not be willing to change anyone.

Han Ji said: "Others think it's better to break off the engagement with Yunqing, but Master Chen doesn't agree."

Yuxi asked very strangely: "Why is Lord Chen unwilling? Yunqing himself disappeared for eight years, and the Chen family is looking for another marriage for their daughter. He has no position to blame the Chen family." After all, Chen Xue is eighteen years old this year. , this age is already too old to discuss marriage.

Han Jidao: "It's not Yunqing's problem, it's Lord Chen Hou who doesn't want to ruin his relationship and insists on marrying Chen Xue to the northwest."

Hearing this, Yuxi understood: "Master Chen thinks that Yunqing has a future, so he is unwilling to give up this son-in-law with great potential." Men and women look at things differently. What men value most is the family relationship. future. Thinking of this, Yu Xi asked: "Isn't that Lin Shao from the Lin family not very good?" Chen Xue is old and has discussed marriage, even if she is the eldest daughter of the Chen family, the marriage will not be particularly ideal. Otherwise, with Chen Xue's status, a prince and concubine can do it.

Han Ji was not surprised that Yuxi would say this. The fourth girl often passed away in his son's study. They all know: "Although Lin Shao is now a sixth-rank military officer and has some abilities, he is inferior to Yunqing A lot. Yunqing's current official position of the fifth rank is earned entirely by his own military achievements." The fifth rank is not high, but the potential is unlimited. After all, Yunqing is only eighteen years old this year!

Yuxi understood, it was not Yun Qing who killed Chen Xue, but Master Chen: "How do you know this?"

Han Ji didn't hide from Yu Xi, and said: "These are all the news from the mansion." It means that the information of the Duke's Mansion can be shared by Yu Xi.

Yuxi was not very happy with the news, and sharing the news was useless, and she couldn't get a guide: "Whatever happens in the capital or the mansion in the future, you can tell me!" This means that you don't need to wait for her to ask. Say.

Han Ji nodded and said, "Okay."

Yu Xi sighed faintly, the rumors were really unbelievable. I don't know who poured dirty water on Yunqing's body and described him as terrifying.

Knowing that Chen Xue was buried in a nearby Zhuangzi, Zisu shuddered: "Girl, this is too unlucky."

Yuxi gave her a blank look: "You think too much. The place where the Chen family girl is buried is several miles away from here. Besides, there are many graves buried on the mountain of Hongzaozhuang."

Zi Su said speechlessly, "Girl, how can this be the same?"

Yuxi laughed and said: "Then tell me, what's different. Those buried on this mountain are not necessarily all old people who have died. There are also children who died halfway and men and women who died young before getting married." In her previous life, she also belonged to the early This category is gone.

Zisu was worried about Yuxi, the girl from the Chen family was also a daughter of the Duke's family, but she ended up like this, and her girl didn't know what would happen in the future. But she didn't dare to tell Yuxi about this. She knew that although the girl had a calm face, she was always restless in her heart. (to be continued)
