Chapter 131 The fading of green and the withering of red bring murderous sorrow
...
There is a pot of Phalaenopsis in the room. It
is purple-red in color.
It looks especially beautiful at night.
Jiang Changtian looked around the room.
He was very familiar with it.
Because he remembered every corner of Old Madam Jiang's room.
There is a kind of place, a kind of memory, that no matter how hard you try to forget, when you meet it again, the blood in your body will tremble and boil, clamoring to tell you that you have always remembered it and have never forgotten it.
The Phalaenopsis is new.
The porcelain vase on the antique shelf is gone.
The paintings on the wall are gone too.
They have been replaced with Phalaenopsis and the Heart Sutra.
It feels a little more elegant.
There is a whip on the wall, still there.
It looks very familiar.
Because there is a gem on the handle of the whip, and the whip is relatively old, it was something the old lady played with when she was young.
Yaogu always used this whip to scare him before, and he remembered it clearly.
Jiang Changtian looked around and saw the baby in his eldest brother's arms.
He smiled and said, "I, as an uncle, have never held a niece."
A guard snatched the baby from Jiang Huaisheng's arms and put it in Jiang Changtian's arms.
This action was very villainous.
Wu couldn't stand it on the spot, tears streaming down her face, and she supported her husband and barely didn't fall down.
"Don't be nervous, sister-in-law, I just want to see her. Is it a baby girl? She must be as beautiful as sister-in-law when she grows up."
Wu listened to this, then looked at the man holding Shushu, her mouth slightly opened.
She had heard from her husband before that her second uncle was a thief and hurt his face, and she thought it was her fate, which made her feel even more guilty.
But now seeing the face of her second uncle, how could he possibly love her and hide her clothes? He is dozens of times more beautiful than her.
If she had such a face, no one would love her.
Seeing the second uncle's behavior now, she has come to her senses. He must be here for revenge.
He doesn't love her at all. It was framed by her mother-in-law from the beginning to the end, and her husband didn't even tell her.
Instead, she is anxious and nervous every day.
Jiang Wan was also a little terrified and unbelievable.
It's impossible. She can't die here.
But the man in front of her seemed to be crazy. He beat up their guards in the middle of the night and suddenly rushed in with people.
He was furious, as if he wanted to kill people.
It's terrible. He didn't let go of the old, the weak, women and children.
How can such a person deserve to live in the world? Grandmother is right.
Jiang Wan regretted that her grandmother was too kind and soft-hearted. Now she had left behind a disaster and was suffering from it.
She tried hard to think about how to save herself, but her face showed a look of fear and pity.
Jiang Changtian held the baby in his arms and saw that her swaddling clothes were very beautiful, with a silk lining and several beautiful silver ornaments hanging on the outside. When he held the baby, the silver ornaments collided and made a clanging sound, and the baby smiled. The
pupils were black and bright, and she opened her mouth to smile foolishly, but she had no teeth yet.
The swaddling clothes were very beautiful, and the baby looked a bit like his Mianmian, or it could be said that such a small baby actually couldn't tell who it looked like, but he just felt that it was a very beautiful baby girl, pink and tender.
No, Jiang Changtian recalled again, Mianmian was dark and thin when she was born, he was useless, half of the family income depended on Xiamei, she was pregnant and gave birth, he couldn't even get good food for Xiamei, so Mianmian was thin and small when she was born, it looked like she would not live long.
It was only later that she slowly grew up and became good-looking.
The baby in front of him was so beautiful and white when he was born, and his hair was thick, the eldest sister-in-law must have eaten and drank well when she was pregnant, and she didn't have to work in the fields.
Jiang Changtian teased the baby tenderly. He gently touched the baby's soft face and said with a smile:
"Jiang Shu, it's a good name.
The flowers and leaves in the world are not comparable. Flowers fall into the golden basin and the leaves turn into dust.
Only the green lotus and the red lotus are open and closed as they please.
These flowers and leaves always complement each other. When the green fades and the red withers, it makes
people sad and murderous." (Note 1) Jiang Changtian was obviously composing a poem and praising the lotus, just like an elder praising a good name for a younger generation. However, his tone at the end of his words was emphasized, and the word "murderous" was pronounced especially clearly.
A foul smell suddenly filled the scene.
Jiang Rong was scared and urinated. The hot urine flowed down his clothes, soaking his robes and leaving a pool of yellow water under his feet.
Jiang Rong could no longer bear it.
He didn't understand why he still remembered the last time he was caught by kidnappers and saw the kidnappers killing people. The body of Yao Gu also appeared in his mind. Yao Gu was so big and strong, but she went out and came back dead.
I heard that it was killed by his second uncle.
How dare a weak scholar like him kill people.
He is a devil.
He must be here to kill them.
Jiang Rong was caught, and a foul smell filled the room.
The yellow water flowed to the feet of the man in black next to him, and the man in black didn't move.
When Mrs. Jiang saw Rong'er's feet, her eyes closed slightly.
She changed the Buddhist beads in her hand. At first, she played with hibiscus stones every day, which were very beautiful pink. Later, it was black old sandalwood. Now it is a string of purple-colored pearls, all of which are large and plump, with beautiful luster. If they are to be assembled into a string of Buddhist beads, I wonder how many corpses of pearl divers are floating on the river.
She gently twisted the beads.
Rong'er was useless. He was scared to death by the scene before him. With such courage, even if he was a rich scholar, he would not be able to get into the examination room. After three days of scientific examination, he would probably die if he came out.
Wu didn't expect that Rong'er would be the first to lose her composure at the scene.
I didn't even expect that he was so talented, just a name, and he actually composed a poem on the spot.
Jiang Wan lowered her head. She had never thought that he was so talented and could compose poetry easily. She had never heard of it before, but she felt that it was very good and amazing.
"Don't kill me, don't kill me, I didn't do anything." Jiang Rong's voice trembled.
He looked at these guards wearing helmets, and the eyes of each guard looked like Jiang Feng.
Jiang Huaisheng was furious, but he also knew that Changtian was no longer the brother he used to be.
Even he couldn't subconsciously teach him a lesson.
He still remembered the wound on his face, which he cut with a sword himself.
The sword was so close, he was so surprised that he didn't dodge and was hit by the sword.
He suppressed his anger and said calmly, "Mother did something wrong. I'm sorry for you all these years, but I did raise you. If you were in a poor family, you wouldn't even have the chance to learn to read, let alone speak fluently. Now you're living a good life, why bother to hold on to it? Can't we just stay out of each other's way?"
Jiang Changtian's eyes turned red again, especially at the end of his eyes. When he raised his head, his face looked even more evil. He was so pitiful that he wanted to make others feel sorry for him. When he was unhappy, he would make others feel sorry for him.
Everyone at the scene breathed a beat slower.
Only the baby in his arms was still smiling foolishly.
"I'm living a good life now, but I still have nightmares at night. I miss my mother, my eldest brother, my nieces and nephews. I still miss my family reunion. I can't wait for a moment. I want to come and see you to see how you are doing."
Jiang Wan complained in her heart, bah, a family reunion, is this a human saying?
Who brought a group of masked men in black to surround your whole family in the middle of the night, took the whole family out, and then reunited the family and said they missed you.
This second uncle must be crazy.
The family scared them quite a lot during the Chinese New Year.
Come again this time.
Mrs. Jiang twisted the string of pearls in her hand. They were a little heavy. Good pearls have been around for a long time, and each pearl has weight and feels heavy in the hand.
She still looked calm, even looking at Jiang Changtian as if he were a clown.
Jiang Changtian smiled and said, "Mother, you are still chanting sutras so late at night. Are you praying for the Seventh Prince's wife to send someone to pick you up? Or are you hoping that someone in the capital will come to rescue you? Some time ago, I accidentally intercepted a few letters. I don't know if they were written by you. The handwriting is somewhat similar, but I think that you are old now. You probably won't write to someone for help yourself. It's too embarrassing, right?"
Only then did Mrs. Jiang's face change.
She was shaking all over and about to fall. She bit the ginseng slices tightly in her mouth to prevent herself from falling.
