Chapter 111: Lu Pheasant's My Virtuous Empress (1)
Han Ruo was hurriedly sent away by the immortals. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself lying in a dilapidated thatched hut, with the sound of two children sobbing and sobbing nearby. In the corner, an old clay pot was sitting on top of a crude clay stove, bubbling with steam.
"Mother, you're awake!"
"Mother is fine!"
As soon as the two children saw that their mother had woken up, they immediately cried out with joy and threw themselves on her with joy.
Han Ruo looked at the two children in front of her, the girl on the left was five or six years old, a little older, and the little boy on the right was only three or four years old, both of them were wearing dark blue burlap clothes, although they were clean, but their faces were white, and the two pairs of small hands on her body were also red and swollen from the cold, like carrots.
Although he didn't know who the unlucky identity of the one he wore was, Han Ruo still lovingly grabbed the little hands of the two children and put them to their mouths to give them a hot breath.
"Mother, Le'er has already made dinner for my grandfather, and the rest is still hot in the pot. Mother, are you hungry? Let's bring you the food. The little girl who called herself "Le'er" withdrew her little hand from Han Ruo's hand as she spoke, and ran out of the door.
After a while, Le'er came into the house with a bowl of thin white rice. She carefully put the hot rice bowl into Han Ruo's hand, and said to her proudly: "Mother, try it, see if it's delicious!" ”
"It's delicious, it's delicious at first sight! Our fun grows up! I can take care of my mother! Han Ruo touched Le'er's little head and praised with satisfaction.
Although he doesn't know his identity yet, no matter who he is, these two children are his own babies. The children of the poor are in charge of the family early, and such an old child knows that he is worried about taking care of himself and cooking for himself, and Han Ruo's heart is also warm and sad.
When the little girl heard the compliment, she grinned and showed two rows of shell teeth that were missing a front tooth.
"Why are you missing a tooth?" Han Ruo saw that Le'er was missing a front tooth and quickly asked. In ancient times, there were requirements for women's appearance, and they were not like modern society where teeth could be filled. No matter what her status is, a woman with missing teeth can't marry well.
Seeing that her mother cared about her, Le'er said that she suddenly fell off the floor in the afternoon when she was sweeping the floor, and she herself was startled, and ran into the house to tell her mother, but found that she had fainted.
"You didn't eat anything, did you?"
"Nope! He didn't speak, just quietly swept the floor. ”
"That's fine! You should be changing your teeth. Just be careful not to lick your teeth with your tongue! If there's anything wrong, tell me in time! Han Ruo was worried that she had broken her teeth because she had bitten something. If you change your teeth, you don't have to worry about it, it's going to grow back anyway!
"Hmmm! I know. Le'er nodded obediently.
The mother and son were talking, and a fourteen or fifteen-year-old sturdy young man suddenly broke in outside, knelt down and bowed to Han Ruo and said: "Mother, the child heard that his father defected to General Xiang, and discussed with a few old friends that he wanted to go to his father together, so I came to tell my mother, please allow my mother!" ”
It's going to be difficult, and Han Ruo can't give an answer. After all, she didn't know what kind of world this was, and what the identity and status of the original owner were. What if you make a hasty decision and regret it after merging with the original owner's divine consciousness? Fortunately, at this time, her intimate little padded jacket spoke again.
"Big brother, it's too chaotic outside now, won't there be an accident if a few of you go so far away?" Le'er looked at the eldest brother, her face full of worry.
"We've got thirty or forty people, and nothing will happen." The boy was full of faith.
"Although the number of people is not too small, but the world is not good now, let's think about it in the long run! By the way, the general you just said is ......" Han Ruo took advantage of the reason that Le'er said "it's too chaotic outside" just now, and softly rejected the young man's request, and asked about other things by the way to see if he could find any clues.
"General Xiang is a descendant of General Xiang Yan, a famous general of the former Chu, who rebelled in Huiji, conformed to the will of the people, and overthrew the tyrannical Qin. It has not yet been defeated. The child goes to him with his father, and he will definitely be able to make a name for himself! The young man still did not give up and took the opportunity to persuade Han Ruodao.
"Since ancient times, one will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither. Fighting a war is not as fun as it seems on the surface. I'm not feeling well today, so I'd better rest early! Han Ruo saw that it was getting dark outside, so he sent the boy to rest.
Xiang Yan's descendants? Tyrannical Qin? So this was the time of the late Qin and early Han dynasties? Han Ruo doesn't know much about this history, and the women of this era, she also knows a brutal Empress Lu, Mrs. Qi who was made a "human biao", and Yu Ji who made Xiang Yu's hero short of breath. Yu Ji doesn't seem to have any children, and Mrs. Qi has only one son, so she has three children, shouldn't she become Empress Lu?
Han Ruo shuddered. No, how could she be such a fierce woman! Han Ruo comforted himself.
After the boy left with a look of disappointment, Le'er tied the door, and then climbed into the bed with his brother and lay down obediently.
Han Ruo watched them fall asleep, so he lay down and began to merge with the original owner's divine sense.
She really became Empress Lu. No, it can't be called Lu Hou yet, it should be said that it is Lu Pheasant.
Lu Pheasant escaped from his enemy with his father and hid in Pei County. Although they were escaping from the enemy, they also brought a lot of property, and once they settled down, they were naturally a local tyrant. And their family also has a good relationship with the county magistrate of Pei County. So when their house was just built and settled in the local area, many people ran to congratulate them. This includes Liu Bang.
Liu Bang was just a small Surabaya Pavilion Chief at that time, what qualifications did he have to climb a wealthy family like the Lu family? But not only did he go, but he went empty-handed; Not only did he leave empty-handed, but he also told Xiao He, who was the bookkeeper, that he had brought a congratulatory gift of 10,000 yuan; He not only falsely reported He Yi, but also got the blue eyes of Lu Pheasant's father, and asked Lu Gong to marry his eldest daughter, Lu Pheasant, to him.
Liu Bang is over forty years old and has not yet married a wife, and his relationship with a widow is unclear, and the widow also gave birth to a son. The family is so poor that there is only one house that can just cover the leak. The conditions can be described as very poor. Lu Pheasant is famous, with a good family background, good appearance, and good upbringing, and many good people do not agree to marry Lu Gong.
Many people at that time and many people in later generations, including Lu Pheasant himself, didn't understand that Liu Bang seemed to be a gangster, why did Lu Gong give him his palm pearl! In ancient times, marriage paid attention to "marrying high and marrying low", which is completely marrying low!
The rhetoric given by Lu Gong is that Liu Bang's face is particularly precious, and Lu Pheasant's identity will be particularly valuable after following him. Lu Pheasant disagreed. But if her father asked her to marry, she had to marry. There is always something desirable for the person my father likes, right?
After Lu Pheasant got married, he can be said to be extremely virtuous and virtuous, running together at home and abroad, respecting the elderly, treating Liu Bang's illegitimate son well, and working for the family's livelihood all day long.
Liu Bang also felt that he had hit shit luck to marry a good wife like Lu Pheasant, who was as beautiful as a flower and capable, so he was very restrained for a while. However, the nature of the country is easy to change, and Liu Bang has relented in half a year, and he will regain his old state. Continue to be idle, fight cocks and lackeys, drink and brag, and do not do business.
Lu Pheasant never complained or restrained Liu Bang, but helped him when he was in trouble. Liu Bang did a bad errand and was stranded in Mangdang Mountain and did not dare to come back. Lu Pheasant also traveled through mountains and rivers to bring him food, his feet were worn out, he fell and fell for an unknown number of times, but there was no shortage of food.
Liu Bang was not unmoved, and swore at that time, "Ejiao, I will definitely be good to you for the rest of my life." But the thug's oath can only be heard. When he was poor, he had nothing to give to the other party, so he could only sweeten his mouth.
Lu Pheasant is fifteen years younger than Liu Bang, and all her longing for a man is pinned on Liu Bang, and she trusts him unconditionally and supports him whatever he says. I believe that he will definitely make a good life for himself.
But as Liu Bang's situation improved step by step, Lu Pheasant's vision was shattered little by little.
Liu Bang was fighting outside, and Lu Pheasant tried not to let him worry about a matter at home. She worked in the fields by herself, spinning and weaving, fetching water and rice, washing and cooking, and worrying about all the food and clothing of the family. As long as she doesn't work for a day, the family may not be able to eat. Lu Pheasant is a young lady, and she has been ground into a calloused peasant woman with her hands.
But she had no complaints. Her man said he wanted her to live a good life, and she believed him!
Later, Liu Bang really sent someone to pick her up, and she was ecstatic. But when she came to the place where her husband was, she found that there was a young and beautiful woman beside him. She doesn't blame him, men always have someone to take care of outside! She really didn't blame him. Although she was crying in her heart, she still smiled and generously accepted the woman named "Qi Ji".
Liu Bang came to see her, and when he saw her, he was stunned for a while, and then arranged a place for her to live and left. She understood that he had a heavy military schedule and had no time to care about him. But why doesn't he have time to look at himself, but he always has time to accompany that Qi Ji? He didn't know if every time Qi Ji came to show off to him, saying what warm words he said to her, where he took her to play, and what he gave her, his heart was bleeding?
's own husband, the husband who has suffered so much to maintain, can't see him alone, but he has time to accompany other women every day.
Lu Pheasant finally waited for Liu Bang to come to see her, but he came to scold her angrily. said that she was small-minded and couldn't tolerate Qi Ji, so that Qi Ji would cry every time she saw her go back. God knows, although she knew that Qi Ji was deliberately provoking, she didn't dare to say a word of reproach! Now that he has a husband, it is the same as not having a husband, where can he dare to touch the person on the tip of his heart.
Lu Pheasant knew that he had worked hard all year round, his skin was no longer fair and delicate, and he was getting older, and he was not as good as a young girl. But his man didn't save himself any face, he looked like he was spoiling his concubine and killing his wife, what were he still doing here?
So Lu Pheasant left. Lu Pheasant didn't say anything, only told Liu Bang's father, Liu Taigong. Mrs. Liu knows what kind of virtue his son is, and Lu Pheasant has been closer to him than his own children over the years, so he must follow Lu Pheasant. So Lu Pheasant left Liu Bang with Liu Taigong, leaving him only a pair of children.
