Chapter 52 The Reason for Loving Women's Clothing
The term "male and female" made Jingzhe feel uncomfortable. He touched his knees that hurt and uttered two words through gritted teeth, "girl."
At worst, I'll have to kneel for another two hours.
"Oh my god... has he changed his gender? Which girl is this? Is she incredibly beautiful? Gorgeous and graceful? Charming and lively? The kind of beauty that's so beautiful you can't take your eyes off her?"
Doctor Jing asked questions one after another.
The two guards looked at each other.
They could not say any more about General Wei.
Fortunately, the person on the bed slowly opened his eyes, "Your taste is always so vulgar."
How could those mundane words be worthy of his Xiao Yan?
"Then tell me, what kind of person is it that makes you want to give up your life?" Old Jing rushed to Shi Yu's bed, waiting eagerly.
What he got was Shi Yu's warning, "Don't be curious, don't ask, and don't reveal a single word to anyone, otherwise I will cut off your medicinal materials."
"Ah...you are such a heartless boy. I just saved your life." Old Jing looked at a heartless man.
He had no hobbies in his life except to tinker with making medicines and poisons, but this required a large sum of money, and he was reluctant to sell the medicines he made.
He only spent money and never earned any, and within a few years he squandered all the family fortune left to him by his parents.
All the medicinal herbs he could use in recent years were provided by Shi Yu for free. Shi Yu's warning hit his weak spot precisely.
Seeing that Prince Rong had no intention of giving in, he said awkwardly, "I won't ask anymore, I won't ask anymore. The ugly daughter-in-law will eventually meet people one day. I will be able to see her."
Recalling something, he continued, "I see your pulse is normal now. Are you feeling better? Who treated you?"
Without Shi Yu's reply, he understood and said, "That girl, right? I received a letter from Jing Yang, saying that you asked him to come to the capital.
He was worried that you were not feeling well and that he would not be able to save you in time. Knowing that I was near the capital, he asked me to come here first... Hey, that's not right.
You're already well, why do you need Jing Yang here? You're treating others, no, you have people around you who can heal you, why do you need Jing Yang who can't heal you..."
He suddenly looked aggrieved. "You want to take the credit for curing you on Jingyang? You're being biased, kid. We knew each other first. Why didn't you consider me?"
He arrived in the capital in the morning. Knowing that Prince Rong's life was not in danger, he played in the city for a day. He didn't hear that Prince Rong had recovered from his illness, which showed that this guy was hiding it from everyone.
The reason why he asked Jing Yang to come to Beijing was only to use Jing Yang's medical skills to get better. He wanted to protect the girl and not show it in public.
snort!
Shi Yu glanced at Dong Zang and then closed his eyes.
Dong Zang understood and hurried forward, saying, "The prince is thinking about you. You've really made a name for yourself. If anyone in the palace has a headache or a fever, they'll definitely invite you. Will you go or not?"
Old Jing choked. He hated certain people in the palace so much in his life. How could he possibly go into the palace to treat them?
Another snort.
Dong Zang smiled and said, "We've just got some good medicinal herbs in the warehouse. The prince saved them for you. Do you want to go take a look?"
Old Jing is a bit of a lunatic and loves to show off. If he doesn't lead people away, he will keep pestering the prince.
Sure enough, Jing Lao's eyes lit up, "Of course, let's go."
Without even looking at Shi Yu again, he urged Dong Zang to run out.
When Dongzang walked up to Jingzhe, he winked at him. After he left, Jingzhe knelt down with a plop and said, "Master, I was wrong. I won't talk nonsense again.
I just feel sorry for you, and I want Miss Chang to feel sorry for you too..."
"Your excessive talk will make her suspicious, and she might even stay away from me completely." Shi Yu said calmly without opening his eyes, "Get up, wait for Master Jing to finish selecting the herbs, and then send him out of the capital."
Jingzhe quickly agreed, but in his heart he felt that the prince was too cautious in his love, and General Wei would not be so cruel to the prince.
On the other side, Wei Qingyan and the other two had just entered the Gong Mansion.
Gong Minglou said, "Miss Chang, please come to my brother's study and chat."
He couldn't wait to tell Miss Chang that there was a reason why his father loved red makeup and that his father was not a dirty person.
Wei Qingyan nodded. Just as the three of them sat down in the study, Gong Jun came. After pouring tea for them, he personally stood guard outside the study.
Gong Minglou spoke up, "Miss Chang, when my grandfather betrothed my mother to my father, he knew that he had this habit, and it was probably because of this that he allowed my mother to marry him."
I just didn't let my father and the others know.
"What do you mean?" Wei Qingyan raised his eyebrows.
Gong Mingcheng glanced at his brother and motioned him to continue.
turn out to be.
Before the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty, the previous emperor was incompetent, the world was in chaos, and bandits were rampant.
When Gong Changying was eight years old, the Gong family was still living in a county town. His parents left home for something, leaving only him, his father's concubine Hua Yi Niang, and some servants in the Gong family.
That night, a group of bandits broke into the Gong family's house, burning, killing and looting.
Gong Changying was mature for his age, but he was only eight years old. He was so frightened that he didn't know what to do. It was Aunt Hua who found him and hid him in his yard.
The bandits had finally found a place to stay, so they would definitely search the entire Gong Mansion before they would give up.
Aunt Hua was worried that they would find Gong Changying, so she took the initiative to take the bandits to the Gong family's warehouse.
The Gong family's warehouse was looted, and Aunt Hua was raped by the bandits and tied naked to a beam.
As all the operas say, the police always arrive late, after the matter is over. Moreover, in such a chaotic time, there are only a few police officers in the county government office, and it is difficult for them to protect themselves.
Even though they knew that the bandits from Gong's house had left, they did not dare to go there rashly, and only waited until dawn to carry out the routine procedures.
But during this period, the only ones alive in the entire Gong Mansion were Gong Changying and Concubine Hua, who was still half alive.
Gong Changying has been reading books of sages since he was a child. He has always looked down on Concubine Hua who loves to dress up in a flashy way. He always ignores and distances himself from Concubine Hua's advances.
But he never expected that the person who saved him in the end would be the one he had never even looked at.
He walked over the corpses on the ground, found the warehouse, and untied her tremblingly.
Concubine Hua squatted on the ground, leaning forward and smiling at him, "Young Master, could you please go to those boxes and find some cloth for me? I'm a little cold."
Gong Changying's eyes were reddened by that smile. He was eight years old and knew what Aunt Hua had experienced.
Boxes and crates were scattered all over the floor. The good things in the warehouse had long been taken away by the bandits. Only a few pieces of worthless cloth were left. He held back his tears and picked out the one he thought was the most beautiful and draped it on Aunt Hua.
He knew that Aunt Hua loved beauty.
"It looks so old-fashioned and doesn't suit me." Aunt Hua said with disgust, but she wrapped herself up tightly as quickly as possible.
Looking at the frightened Gong Changying, she smiled and pulled him to sit next to her, "Don't be afraid, young master, the police will be here soon.
I saved the young master today. Can you promise to give me a nice dress in the future?"
Gong Changying followed her strength and sat down next to him. He felt her body trembling and leaned closer to her, "Okay."
"A gentleman's word is as good as gold." Concubine Hua continued to smile, "Actually, I have a daughter. If she were born, she would be almost as old as the young master.
When my aunt was pregnant with her, she thought, "What a great daughter! I will definitely dress her up beautifully and make her lovable in the future."
I am a concubine, and if I give birth to a daughter, I won't have to compete with the legitimate son for the family fortune. My mistress is kind and has no daughters. If she sees my daughter is pretty, she will be very happy and will even find a good marriage for her in the future..."
Gong Changying's courage, which had been frightened, calmed down after hearing Hua Yi Niang's soft words. He leaned on her, and the two of them waited together until dawn, when the officials finally arrived.
"Young master, don't be afraid. The officials are here, just go with them." This was the last sentence Aunt Hua said to Gong Changying.
She went back to the yard, changed her clothes, and then jumped into the well.
She had already made up her mind to die, and was worried that Gong Changying would be scared facing the corpses in the mansion alone, so she accompanied him until the officials arrived.
"It was after that incident that my father started to wear red makeup. My uncle said that he felt guilty for not being nicer to Concubine Hua in the past.
Having received such a life-saving favor but having no chance to repay her, he often dressed as a woman and went to her grave, pretending to be her daughter to please her.
Later on, perhaps it became a habit, or perhaps a knot in my heart, and wearing women's clothing became an obsession."
Gong Minglou wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeves, for his father and for Grandma Hua who sacrificed her life to save his father.
"My grandfather thought it was rare that my father had remembered Aunt Hua's kindness for so many years. He was a man who valued friendship and loyalty, so he married my mother to my father."
Wei Qingyan slowly shook his head, "No, your mother has her own reasons."
