Chapter 3: Nightmares

The water is turbulent, hundreds of boats compete for the current, and the white canopy boat drifts with the waves in the middle of the river. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhao Tansheng was in the boat, his tongue was bitter, his mind was confused, he looked down at the water surface that was hooked by the corner of the eaves, and suddenly the evil anger surged, and he hung on the eaves and retched.

"Girl, why are you suddenly seasick?"

It was the official grandmother who said this.

A woman in her forties, with a square complexion and big eyes, thick and messy eyebrows, and a broken Guangyang official dialect.

Until she died, she spoke a broken Guangyang official dialect.

Officer's mother... Long dead...

But yesterday it appeared alive in front of her eyes.

It became what it was when he was younger.

And she....

Zhao Tansheng looked at his hands propped up on the side of the boat, the hands were small, white and tender, but there were thick calluses on the abdomen of the thumb and index finger of the right hand, that was because when she was in Guangyang, she often picked up the lamp to be a female red and embroidered village to exchange silver....

These are by no means the hands of a twenty-five-year-old woman, and likewise, they are not the hands of a drowning ghost.

When Tan Sheng woke up yesterday, he saw an old plain cotton car with a cowl, the sound of horses' hooves in his ears, and an official mother who slept more heavily than her lying beside her.

She thought that she had entered the path of reincarnation, and then she met someone from the old times and made an appointment to drink Meng Po soup.

But who can tell her why there is still a box of old fluttering clothes and a dozen broken silver ingots pressed at the bottom of the box in the reincarnation path?

Tan Sheng was leaning on the side of the boat, and the river was hitting the back of his hand, cool and whirring. Tan Sheng was swept away, and all the memories and emotions rushed into his brain, as if he had a nightmare.

The official's mother is not dead, she looks like she is only twelve or thirteen years old, on the way to Shanxi in Guangyang Mansion... Her father died when she was very young, and her frail mother died half a year ago, so she became an orphan and had to travel all the way to her uncle, who was an official in Nanchang Mansion, and since then she has lived a life under the fence, all of which is exactly the same as in her dreams.

Then she began a miserable life, first suffered from the Li family, then married a son who did not take responsibility, saw the affair between her husband and his aunt, and finally died with an ugly ringing horse.

Is... Alas... It's ridiculous.

Seeing that Tan Sheng's face was blue and red, the official's mother leaned forward with concern, and nagged urgently, "Girl, you haven't spoken for a day... You must not get seasick! I will go to Nanchang the day after tomorrow, and my face will not look good like this! The second lady hates to see you sick and sick, do you remember that the second master and his wife returned to their hometown to worship their ancestors..."

Oh oh oh, yes, when my uncle and aunt returned to their hometown to worship their ancestors in the previous life, she happened to be infected with a cold, and the Li family didn't even let her go to the dinner table, saying that she was afraid of her cousin Zhao Hualing who was too sick.

Now that I think about it, the memory is so long ago that it feels like a lifetime away.

However, no matter when, Tan Sheng remembered the way Li looked at her.

She also didn't know why an elder would be so disgusted with an inconsequential junior.

"I didn't get seasick. Tan Sheng spoke hoarsely, pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled.

She was just a little confused.

The rhetoric of reincarnation in her previous life, in general, she used it to deceive pilgrims.

This first time I spread it out on myself, I was still a little flattered.

Seeing that Tan Sheng opened his mouth, the official's mother hurriedly handed over a cup of tea, "Ouch, my girl, your mouth is so dry that your voice is hoarse." I don't know what evil I bumped into yesterday, and no one can say anything, so don't go to the second lady with a dumb voice! The second lady doesn't like it..."

"Mom, no matter what I look like, the second lady doesn't like it. Tan Sheng cut off the official's mother's words, "She won't like me, a niece who has come all the way to eat their rice." ”

The official's mother described it as sneering, and she didn't hand it over with a glass of water, and she didn't receive it.

The second lady didn't like her girl on the surface.

They traveled from Sichuan to Jiangxi, and then turned to the water route on the 20th, and the second lady did not even send a stronger mother-in-law. Only the second master Tuozhi County sent twenty taels of silver, saying that it was entangled, so all the way over, eating, wearing and chewing had already been consumed, fortunately, the girl had saved some silver taels with her embroidery, and fortunately, the second room was still thinking of the family, and finally arranged a boat to pick them up.

Amitabha, the food taken from other people's hands is unpalatable, how can the girl hold it in the future!

"Then please the old lady?" The official's mother felt that the road ahead was very difficult, and she couldn't think about it anymore, "The second lady doesn't even give her lord's face, and she gives the old lady a lot of face!"

Tan Sheng looked at the official's mother, his face was square and his ears were thick, his Yin Hall was broad, his eyebrows were thick but messy, his eyes were faint, and his three courts were straight.

Tan Sheng stretched out his hand and shook the hand of the official's mother, his fingertips were as thick as paper cuts, and his heart was quite sour.

If you are really blessed, why are you suffocated alive in a basin of water?

The official's mother is her wet nurse, her mother has no milk, but the Zhao family is also a squire who is an official in the court, and she can't bear the reputation of starving to death for her juniors, so she hired a nurse. It's the official mother, she didn't know anything, she was a tofu seller, she only had a stupid strength, and she was simple to treat people.

The Zhao family saw that this nurse could fetch water, add tea, chop firewood, and cook, which was simply inexpensive, which made Mrs. Zhao's mother very relieved, so she made an exception to stay by Tan Sheng's side. After the second master Zhao Xian gained a firm foothold and took the old lady to his side, the official's mother stayed even if no one opened the monthly money, saying that the man had run away, the child had died, and he was alone, so he was reluctant to leave Tansheng.

The official's mother has always treated her very well, like a daughter.

The eggs laid by the old hen were reluctant to be eaten by the official's mother, so they were all left for her. When she married into the Yongning Marquis Mansion, the official's mother hid in the firewood room and cried, crying that she finally had a chance, crying that she got rid of the Li family, crying that she finally raised her eyebrows.

Li wanted to send the official's mother away when she became a relative, but she insisted on bringing the official's mother to marry, but what was the result?

As a result, she watched her mother being forced into a basin of water by four or five strong men. She only screamed in horror and screamed with a mouthful of blood, and she couldn't break free from the shackles of the servant, only watching the official's mother gradually give up the struggle, gradually... Lost his life...

"Bear with me, girl, let's bear with it, it's good if you get married. Marry a dignitary and give birth to a big fat boy, and our hard days will come to an end. The official's mother chattered endlessly with longing, "When we arrive in Jiangxi, our Ah Qiao will become a lady of the official family." The girl is beautiful and beautiful, Guangyang is ten miles and eight towns, who doesn't know that there is a little girl in the Zhao family who is very well-behaved?

Ah Qiao is Tansheng's milk name, and people who know each other are called like this.

Tan Sheng suddenly felt that his throat was fishy, tears filled his eyelashes, he blinked his eyes for a long time, flashed back the tears, and followed the official's mother to purse his lips and smile.

"Can the face be eaten as food, Mom, wake up!" Tan Sheng said goodbye to tears and smiles, but when he saw that there seemed to be a ferry crossing outside the boat, he heard the voices of people, and his heart moved, so he raised his voice and asked the captain, "Boatman, I am tired of asking, where is this?"

The boatman responded, "Just past Anyi County!"

"Then let's stay on the shore tonight. Tan Sheng touched a few coppers from his sleeve and put them on the small table, a smiling face was very moving, "It's not convenient to travel at night, let's find a place to settle down in Anyi County, and the boatman can also drink hot wine by the way." ”

The boatman stopped the oars, leaned out and wiped the money, put it in his pocket, and smiled crookedly, "Madame explained that you must travel overnight." ”

After that, there was no more to say.

All the money has been collected!

Since you don't agree, what kind of money will you receive!

The official's mother was so angry that she wanted to rush forward to reason with the boatman, but Tan Sheng stopped her and nodded at the boatman with a smile, "Then trouble the boat boss to hold it steady, the waves are strong and windy at night, we must choose a good way, otherwise we will not be able to go back if we encounter water bandits." ”

Tan Sheng saw that the boatman's shoulders were obviously stunned, but he laughed again, "This is the boundary of Jiangxi, and it is not a poor place in the countryside, where did the water bandits come from!" After speaking, he walked towards the bow of the boat, and sneered and sneered in Jiangxi dialect in his mouth as he walked, "Hey, Miss Guanjia..."

Tan Sheng has been in Jiangxi for three years, she can understand Jiangxi dialect, no matter how low her status is, she is also the master. Since this boat family is a person hired by the Zhao family, then Tan Sheng should also be regarded as the master.

But this tone is not the tone of the servant to the master.

Tan Sheng stopped talking and smiled again.

Seeing this, the official's mother was afraid that Tan Sheng would be unhappy, so she hurriedly comforted her softly, "The boat boss is not wrong, after all, this is the master's realm, where did the water bandits come from..."

The sky has darkened, the water is blue, the boats are intertwined, the big ships have been lit up, and the light of the stars is reflected on the water, which is very prosperous and lively.

Tan Sheng smiled again, although Zhao Xian inherited the love of Lao Taishan, he couldn't rely on the good offices of his father-in-law to mediate every time and again? Zhao Xian is a two-rank jinshi, a second-class heir, and the second ancestor who relies on grace and yin on an errand are two different things. Tan Sheng remembered that Zhao Xian was only from Wupin Jiangxi to the inspector of the department, and two years after she married Yuan Xiu, Zhao Xian was promoted all the way to the Beijing Division, high in the Inspectorate, and was promoted to the Senate from the fourth rank to the inspector, from a local official to a close minister of the Son of Heaven, of course Zhao Xian has a bit of skill.

Therefore, the boundary of Jiangxi can be regarded as calm, and Zhao Xian is also worthy of his excellent evaluation every year.

That's why Tan Sheng wondered, why did she meet water bandits in her previous life?

Just on this water, just on her way to Jiangxi?
