Chapter 456 The Peach Tree
There are not many peach trees planted in the capital, but there are many outside the city. There is a peach tree at the entrance of the bookstore. I don’t know who planted it. I have produced peaches last year, and there are only a few sporadic ones, which are only slightly larger than eggs.
Shi Bing invited the gardener from the Princess's Mansion to come and see it, and trimmed it, saying that he would bear more fruit this year.
I don’t know if I can bear more fruits, but this year’s peach blossoms are blooming very well.
The spring light of March is scattered in the patio, neither cold nor warm. The faint fragrance of peach blossoms floats in through the walls, and thick cushions are laid on the bamboo chairs. Hua Jingyao sits in the patio and reads a book.
This book was newly sent from the bookstore and was named "Qiao E's Resentment".
Hua Jingyao felt more and more familiar with her. When she saw Qiao E being kidnapped by a villain on the way home, she was beaten to death because she was beaten to death, Hua Jingyao almost slapped the book on the ground.
But at this time, Li Bu'er came.
Hua Jingyao pushed the box on the small table at her and asked, "Why do you remember to see me?"
Li Bu'er picked a peanut from the box and dipped it in his mouth. He chewed it and then said, "It's not me, it's Xiao Qiao, it's her who wants to see you. Didn't Da Qiao have a sentence? Xiao Qiao said he must kowtow to you a few times, her own, and a kowtow for her sister. The threshold for the princess's mansion is too high, so I dare not go there, so I thought you might come here. Look, I really guessed that you are here."
Hua Jingyao asked, "Where are hers?"
"I'm picking the bark under the peach tree at the door," Li Bu'er ate another peanut dip and asked, "This peanut dip is quite delicious. Did you bring it from the eldest princess's mansion?"
"No, it's just bought it from the old lady who sets up a stall at the street corner. If you like to eat it, buy more when you leave. The old lady has no children and lives by selling peanuts and melon seeds." Hua Jingyao smiled.
Li Bu'er was stunned and pointed at Hua Jingyao, feeling disrespectful again, so he pointed at the peanuts in the box and dipped them: "You, I said, you eat something from the stall near the road? I heard that people of your status cannot eat casually, aren't you afraid of being poisoned to death?"
Hua Jingyao glanced at her: "Who did you hear from me? Your father or the one who taught in the teahouse?"
"It's not my father, nor is it a storyteller. It's the fat man Luo who set up a chess stall at Baiziqiao. Yes, it's the one you caught with my father last time. I heard from him that he said he was from everyone and he knew all these things." Li Bu'er said.
Hua Jingyao remembered that the fat man Luo who set up a chess stall was really from everyone. How could he not come from everyone?
That Mr. Luo Er, if you have nothing to do, go to Baiziqiao to set up a chess stall...
"Okay, he is from everyone. He is right. Go and call Xiao Qiao in. Don't let her scoop my peach tree. That tree will bear a lot of fruit today."
Xiao Qiao followed Li Bu'er in. When she saw Hua Jingyao, she knelt on the ground and kowtowed. Xiao Ai wanted to put a mat for her. Xiao Qiao said, "Miss Xiao Ai doesn't have to worry about me. I just want to kowtow like this, so it's so satisfying."
The patio was covered with blue bricks. Xiao Qiao knocked her bang, and her forehead was covered with purple and blood.
Hua Jingyao asked Xiao Ai to cook eggs, but Xiao Qiao did not refuse. She sat on the small stool and said to Hua Jingyao: "Miss, before the little girl's sister was executed, the little girl went to see her off. She told the little girl to kowtow a few times for her. She said she was guilty and she was not worthy of kowtowing you. Let the little girl kowtow for her, and please don't dislike her."
Da Qiao had two lives, Lao Li and Tailor Fang. Although Tailor Fang was a criminal who was plotting a great rebellion and Da Qiao killed him and did not kill him, Lao Li was indeed killed by Da Qiao, and Da Qiao was eventually sentenced to hang.
Hua Jingyao said: "I found out about your sister's case. I didn't excuse her when she was sentenced. She doesn't need to thank me, and you don't need to."
Xiao Qiao shook her head: "The other death row prisoners can only say a few words to their family before they are executed and have a bowl of rice. But the little woman talked to my sister for a while and asked her to change her clothes. The official in the yamen said that it was the eldest lady who greeted them.
The clothes were made from three inside and outside. The materials for the clothes were brought by Miss Xiao Ai and made by the girl Li's sister. My sister said that the materials were so good. She had never worn such good clothes. My sister was so happy that she even smeared rouge in the mirror. My sister said that she had never had a comfortable life since she married Lao Li's beast. The month she was imprisoned in prison was the most relaxed and comfortable time she had in these years. She was not dead, but liberation. She was sentenced to death and was reincarnated as a clean person. This is a good thing, and she was so happy.
The little woman didn't understand the law of criminal law. My sister said that she heard from the prison chief that she killed Lao Li to kill her husband. This is a heinous crime. This crime must be a death sentence. Even the evil prisoner who is a woman should be a death sentence. She was hanged and could keep the whole body. This is a slight, and this is also a good thing. It is simple to collect the corpse and it will not be too scary. My sister said that it must be the eldest lady who said good things from it. Master Qingtian would be sentenced lightly. My sister said she was very grateful."
In fact, it was not Hua Jingyao who could keep the entire body.
Although the story she told Princess Zhaoyang that day was not finished, the Qiao family's big and big can be explained clearly and clearly.
When Princess Zhaoyang entered the palace, she also told the Queen Mother that the eldest princess had something to come that day, and the Queen Mother's card was temporarily replaced by Mrs. Jianming, who is the mother of Luo Luzhu.
After listening to this story in the palace, the old lady of Jianming's mansion pulled Luo Zizhu to inquire after hearing this story.
On February 2nd, there was a necessity between the various prefectures, so within a few days, the wives of the old and young in the capital knew that there was a strong woman named Da Qiao.
Killing your husband? That man is worse than a pig or a dog. Will he keep it for the New Year if he doesn’t kill him?
What? Isn't this right? This is how your mansion teaches your daughter? After getting married, you will be beaten by your husband, and even your body will be sold after death?
Unfaithful? Should you die if you are bullied by a evil thief? What do you mean, who are you talking about?
Yes, that's right, a few years ago, there was a cousin who was humiliated and died of humiliation in the Jianming Mansion. That girl was the niece of Mrs. Jianming's old lady.
It is said that Da Qiao's family is bullied by the evil man, and that is to use a knife to cut off the old lady Jianming's heart. Who dares to say it or mention it? As the story spreads, the story of Da Qiao's family being bullied by the evil man is passed down.
In short, Da Qiao avenged herself and her sister, and later surrendered herself. Even if she killed two people, she was also a fierce woman.
