002 Fengchuan
Fang Yuen swallowed, Mrs. felt bad inside and out, and looked at this child with displeasure in her heart.
"This doll is unacceptable, it looks like it must be an ominous person, if it enters the door, my Yao family will be implicated by it."
None of the people around him pleaded, including Yao Jinwu, and they didn't even dare to gasp.
"This child must not be kept, but it is better to let her disappear, so as not to harm others."
Yao Jinwu's eyes showed a little uneasiness, and the maids behind him lowered their eyes and held their breath.
No one refuted Mrs. Yao's words, Yao Jinwu glanced at it a few times, and turned to leave.
Madame sent a few minions to carry Fang Yuen's body to the cemetery and bury it, and then viciously ordered the two minions to find a place to bury the child, and no one else could find out.
Aster knelt aside, looking at the newborn child, and couldn't bear it, how could a fresh life be strangled at will?
She pleaded bitterly to Mrs. Yao: "Madame has always been merciful and compassionate, why is she so vicious now?" She's a life, she's just come to this world, and there's no longer a mother, so spare her! ”
Madame twitched her eyebrows, and glanced at her: "You also know that she just lost her mother." I see that her life is very hard, so I will leave her down, in case something happens to the Yao family, how can I explain to the master. Then he kicked her in the chest.
Aster knelt on the ground, her shirt was wet with sweat, her hair was loose and messy, and she repeatedly kowtowed and begged for mercy, but the child was still taken away by a few minions with a disgusted face.
The lady and the party left, and Aster was very uneasy.
The young lady is humble and has never done evil, it is already unfair for God to take her away, and the child is innocent, why should she suffer such a catastrophe.
The people of the Yao family are usually buried in the sacrifice after renting the house, but I think that the lady believes in those superstitious sayings so much, that is, she will not let the young lady enter the ancestral sacrifice, let alone the child.
She secretly followed behind the two minions who were holding the child, and listened to their discussions.
"Madame, really, this kid is so evil for us to deal with, it's uncomfortable to think about it."
"Who made us minions? It's not helpful to say more. ”
The man holding the child looked down: "This child is beautiful, and he may be a beauty embryo in the future, but his life is not good!" After speaking, he subconsciously apologized: "Don't hate me, if you want to hate, hate Madame, she asked me to do this." ”
The slave on the side couldn't bear it, and sighed that the birth of the child was a happy event, but now it became a sad event, not to mention that she didn't understand anything at all.
The two looked at each other, suddenly understanding each other's eyes.
One person spoke: "Either we will throw away the child, she is so young, she will not recognize her ancestors and return to her ancestors in the future, just treat her as dead, as for the future, let it be fate, look at the creation!" ”
The other nodded again and again, saying yes.
Aster watched as the two of them placed the child under the crooked neck tree, folded their hands and kept worshipping, and then looked around and left.
Aster stepped forward, her pink little face was very cute, and her eyes were like pearls in the clear sea.
After a moment's hesitation, Aster decided to keep her.
Yao's family couldn't go back, she took the child to find a family, lied that this was her sister's child, the sister was dead, and she was helpless with the child, and that family was also a big family, and she saw that they were pitiful, so she took them in.
Aster named the child Fengchuan, and the phoenix was his wish, hoping to become a phoenix as soon as possible. The river is water, which originates from the place where she was born.
In the thirty-second year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty, Fengchuan was fifteen, after the death of the big man, she and Aster moved out of the family, she called her mother since she was a child, in front of outsiders, she called her aunt, and privately clarified that she was just a slave, but she still insisted on calling her mother. She saw with her own eyes that Aster was bullied by other maids in order to live in the yard, and she vowed that she must let her mother live a good life.
The two rented a farmer's house and lived.
At dusk, when the peasants returned, they gathered around and sighed, and the chickens of the grandmother's family were gone.
When Feng Chuan heard this, he was full of measures.
"Why am I so miserable? My daughter-in-law is about to give birth, and I only have these chickens at home, but now they have been stolen, how can I live? ”
The onlookers looked at each other, and the grandmother began to be suspicious.
She stood on tiptoe and pointed to the nearby onlookers.
"You must have stolen my chickens, and you are so hateful that you have bullied me, a lonely mother-in-law."
She was extremely arrogant, but she caused public outrage.
Several women looked at her and pouted, squeezing her as poor and crazy, and slandering people everywhere, maybe she had never raised chickens at all.
Grandma looked at them and trembled her hands: "I...... I'm old, how can I talk nonsense, I think you stole it. ”
Feng Chuan watched silently from the side, and then pointed to the traces on the ground and said, "Mother-in-law, no one stole your chicken, I'm afraid that the raccoon dog did something bad." ”
The mother-in-law looked at her and sighed: "What do you little girl know, why should I listen to you, I want to report to the official." With that, she shook her body and walked to the door.
Where is the Qingtian lord good to see, Feng Chuan shook his head, didn't care if she was willing to listen, and said: "The door of your house is open, and the chickens are in the chicken pen, if you want to steal the chickens, then you must enter through the door, bypass your east house, and walk near the chicken coop, and there must be footprints on the ground covered with soil." And you can see a few footprints on the ground, not human footprints, but foxes or wild cats. So your chicken must have been stolen by a fox or feral cat, not a human. ”
The mother-in-law pulled her shirt and pouted: "Why should I believe you?" ”
She pursed her lips and explained seriously: "The wise judge distinguishes the evidence, the ignorant person believes and keeps, and blindness is not the right reason." ”
After some remarks, many people looked at her strangely.
She pursed her lips and smiled: "You can observe carefully, even if this person steals the chicken and wants to destroy the traces on the ground, there will definitely be traces on the ground, and there is nothing on the ground except a few small footprints, which fully proves that the real murderer is a fox or a wild cat." ”
The woman was displeased, and sat on the ground with an ugly face.
He whispered that his life was miserable.
Feng Chuan looked at her and asked, "Looking at your expression, you should know where this chicken is going." ”
The mother-in-law was honest and could not lie, so she had to recruit it, and she did see a fox running out of the yard in the morning, and when she picked up a broom to drive it away, it had already fled, and then she found that the chicken was gone. The reason why I say this is because my family is extremely poor, and my daughter-in-law has to give birth, so I can't take out too much money, so I have to say this.
Feng Chuan looked at her, although she was wrong, but also out of helplessness.
She took off a worthless copper hairpin from her head and put it in her mother-in-law's hand.
"You take it, although it's not worth much, you can also exchange it for some copper plate flowers."
The mother-in-law looked at her and felt warm in her heart.
The people around him were moved, and except for the woman who was framed, they took out copper plates and put them in the hands of their mother-in-law.
Feng Chuan went home, Aster was washing clothes, and at a glance he saw that her hair bun was empty.
"Where's the hairpin on your head?"
She didn't dare to make a sound, just let Aster rest, snatched the clothes from her hand, washed them, and then said slowly: "A mother-in-law is so pitiful, I gave her away." After speaking, he wiped his sweat: "Mother, do we have no copper plates again, so you still have to help people wash their clothes?" ”
The Luo skirt in front of her is very good-looking, usually the people who come here to find Aster to wash clothes are the maids of large families, and occasionally they are lazy, so they take a few copper plates out and find some people to wash them for them.
She always advised Aster not to do this, saying that she would find a way to support her family, but Aster's answer was always the same: "I'm used to being a slave, I'm used to it." What are you leaving me idle? You're a young lady, don't run around all the time. ”
Feng Chuan felt sad in his heart, what kind of young lady is he, he has no father and no mother, just an orphan.
