Chapter Forty-Six: Ups and Downs

This memory has always been buried in Han Runiang's heart, and it is unbearable to look back. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info He Er Gongzi cherished her, and knew that she didn't want to think about it, so he carefully avoided it. The painting fan was bought halfway and could not be trusted, Han Runiang had no one to confide in, and her heart became deeper and deeper. This time Xu Wanzhen asked, she also wanted to vomit quickly, a secret has been in her heart for a long time, and it is really depressing.

Han Runiang buried her head lightly, revealing a touch of snow-white jade neck, and recalled: "After my father died, I was sold to the princess by that evil servant. There are many girls under Mrs. Wang, all of whom were collected from various places, some were abducted, and some were sold because their families were too poor. She enclosed us in a courtyard, guarded by a few big men. She herself would take a few girls out every day, and if they were all sold one day, she would be in a good mood, and she would buy some wine, food, and pastries and come back, and our life would be better. As he spoke, he shivered and said, "If one day, we don't sell any of them, and when you come back, you will take our anger and kick us at every turn." She won't slap us in the face, and it will affect the price. But the pain made her shrank when she thought about it.

Xu Wanzhen took out a handkerchief, wiped the tears from her face for her, and said softly: "Sister Ru Niang, don't say it if it's too painful." ”

Han Runiang raised her head, with a determined look in her autumn-like eyes, and said, "No, I want to say it." If I don't talk about it this time, I won't have the courage next time. She adjusted her mood, sat upright, and said, "The little girl turned around very quickly in her hands, and she just took it back, and she sold it in a few days." Yangzhou thin horses are famous all over the world, and they are all cultivated from childhood. Those who are good-looking, she sells them exclusively to the place where she trains skinny horses. If the thin horse can't look down on it, he sells it to a big family to be a little girl. He sighed: "Actually, neither the skinny horse nor the little girl is better than the other." ”

He continued: "And I am older and the color is good, so Mrs. Wang will wait for the price to sell, thinking of finding a green house that is willing to pay a high price." After tossing for a few months, those little girls have changed several stubbles, and I am still in the yard. Listening to those men, several Qinglou have made bids and want to see people, but Mrs. Wang won't let them. said that the price is not high, such a rare good goods. ”

Xu Wan looked at her with real distress, and heard with her own ears that she was compared to the goods, how cruel it was for a former official lady. Han Runiang's hibiscus jade had a painful look on her face, and said: "In the end, the old bustard of 'Yirenju' said that since Mrs. Wang is so confident, she will auction ****** directly, and half of the silver obtained from the auction will be distributed to Mrs. Wang." She agreed. ”

Han Runiang's hands were tightly twisted together, and she said bitterly: "From the day I heard that I was going to be sold to the Qinglou, I began to despair. When I arrived at the 'Yiren Habitat', I began to go on a hunger strike in search of death. But the old bustard has so many means that even seeking death has become a luxury. Finally she threatened me to throw me into the lowest kiln if I didn't obey her. I am a weak woman, I am in such a situation, I can't even seek death, what else can I do? I have to obey her, practice dancing guqin every day, and she arranged for my grandmother to come and regulate my body. It was raised for a month before it was auctioned at 'Yirenju'. ”

Han Runiang took a deep breath, her voice calmed down strangely, and said, "That night, a lot of people came. Listening to the little girl on the side, I realized that she had already released the news and told everyone my identity. She smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "Of course, a down-and-out official lady is worth more than a woman who grew up in the Qinglou, isn't it?" I had already accepted the reality at that time, dressed up according to the old bustard's orders, and danced on the piano according to her request. There are so many men in the audience, seeing them shouting more excitedly than one another, I don't feel shy, am I depraved?"

Xu Wanzhen said softly: "Sister Ru Niang, don't think so, you suddenly encounter such a thing, where can there be any way?" In the Gaomang Dynasty, women have no independent status, and they all depend on their families and men to survive. A beautiful and weak woman who has lost her support, where does she have the ability to resist fate?

Speaking of He Er Gongzi, Han Runiang's face flashed with shyness, and she said softly: "Well, he was the last to appear." At that time, the highest bidder was an obese businessman, and I was scared in my heart when the second son of He appeared. There was a look of memory in his eyes, and he said, "He saw that I was scared, so he talked to me and slept by himself." Unexpectedly, on the second day, he ransomed me with the bustard. I really don't know how to repay it. ”

Xu Wanzhen said: "It's all over, sister, don't think about it anymore, the days will get better and better." Chong Han Runiang smiled playfully and said, "If you treat Second Prince He well, you will repay it." ”

Han Runiang said emotionally: "Yes, it is my blessing to meet him, as well as you." It's really comfortable to say it, thank you for listening to the complaint, Sister Wanzhen. ”

Xu Wanzhen took her hand and said, "Tomorrow we will go shopping and go to bad luck." Now it's not 'Yirenju', Sister Ru Niang can take a good walk in Yangzhou City. ”

"Yes, now that I am free, when I arrive in the capital and have a new identity, I can start a new life. Han Runiang thought to herself, and began to look forward to the future.

Coming out of the north compartment, Xu Wanzhen slowly walked back with Sang Zi, feeling a little heavy. Although I could expect that Han Runiang's experience must have been very bumpy, but when I heard it with my own ears, the feeling was completely different. In this dynasty, women are like duckweed, and Han Runiang has been extremely lucky. Otherwise, if you stay in the "Yiren Residence", it will be stunning, and it will be bleak when you are old. Not to mention the dusty woman, even if it is the daughter of a high-ranking official and noble family? In Mama Zheng's story, there are many examples of marrying tyrannical men for the sake of family interests and finally dying tragically. Growing up delicate, it's just to sell for a good price. What about the commoner women? Once they marry the wrong people, the end that awaits them is even more tragic.

Let's talk about myself, my father and brother are in prison, and I don't know if I can be rescued successfully. The status of the merchants is the lowest, so where is their future? For a while, they fell into a state of sorrow and felt deeply worried about their future.

Back in the south room, Mama Zheng had already put the medicinal materials for the bath, and seeing that she was depressed, she took a look at Sang Zi, and Sang Zi said that she didn't know. When Han Runiang and Xu Wanzhen were talking, she was outside the door, and the two of them were soft, so she didn't know why Xu Wanzhen was suddenly depressed.

Mama Zheng asked Sang Zi to go down, rolled up her sleeves and tested the water temperature, and said, "Would it be good to let the old slave wait for the young lady to bathe today?"
