Chapter 58: It Feels Good
"You guys talk about it, listen to it, it's okay here, if you go back to the capital, keep your mouth shut for me, otherwise you will cause trouble, and you all know the consequences." Geng Zheng reminded on the side.
"What the second master said, did you hear clearly? But anything that gets involved in the royal family, it's not a good thing, and now when I listen to it as a joke, after I have a lot of fun, it's rotten in my stomach, and I don't have to say it everywhere. Jia Xiaoliu, who was next to Xiaomi, whispered to Xiaomi.
Xiaomi nodded very seriously, assuring that he would only listen, and he would never have a big mouth and babble everywhere.
"The royal affairs are the most complicated, and the reason why the prince refuses to accept the princess, I think there must be a reason for him. You must know that the royal competition for that position, each is not a good class.
That's not our ordinary people marrying daughters-in-law in order to have children. When they marry a concubine, they look at the power of the other family, which is the most reliable backing.
The reason why the position of the concubine is still reserved for the one who was assigned to the emperor when he was a child is purely an excuse.
Zhong Shangshu's little daughter, she was only two months old when she was born, and she was stolen, I don't know if she is dead or alive, where to find it? Yang Ji'an said his opinion.
"That's it, that's it, think about it, why is the person who stole the child so bold? Dare to steal the child of the celebrity in front of the emperor? Obviously, it was not the person Zhong Shangshu offended who did it, or he didn't want Zhong Shangshu to become the old man of King Qinshu, so he did it.
I felt that the doll was already dead. Who will keep a living mouth, that is trouble, if you kill it, it will be neat and tidy, and it will never be troubled in the future. Tan Laosan touched his stubble, took another sip of wine and said.
"Wow, won't you, the doll that was just born, the emperor will give you a marriage? Then the emperor likes to be a matchmaker so much? Xiaomi couldn't help but interject.
"You don't know, that Zhong Shangshu is one of the most important ministers of the emperor, he has a group of wives and concubines, but he is born and gives birth to only sons.
People are so dissatisfied, they want daughters when they have a son. Zhong Shangshu and his wife were about to go crazy when they thought about their daughter, and Mrs. Shangshu kept going to the temple to burn incense and pray, and when she was nearly forty years old, she finally got her wish and gave birth to a girl.
It is said that the time when the girl landed was good, which was a great blessing. I don't know if it's a coincidence or what, just a few days after the girl was born, there was good news at the border pass, and she defeated the enemy.
The emperor was happy and feasted the ministers, but he didn't know that it was the sycophant who was talkative, so he said that Zhong Shangshu's daughter was a lucky star. At that time, the emperor also drank a few more glasses, and opened his mouth to give Zhong Shangshu's daughter only to the sixth prince, which is now the king of Qinshu.
Zhong Shangshu finally got a daughter, and just after two months of happiness and lost his daughter, the two couples were sad, saying that overnight, the white hair grew out.
It wasn't for Mrs. Shangshu who said that she wanted to accumulate virtue for her stolen daughter, the child's nurse and the maid who was waiting for her would die. Yang Ji'an sighed as he spoke.
Oh, I see? Xiaomi understood and sympathized with Mrs. Shangshu.
In the three years that I have been in the Luo family after I came here, the people of the Luo family have been very shy about talking about things in the capital, and they really haven't heard of it. No, it seems that when I first arrived at Luo Qinghai's house, there was a mother-in-law who talked about a princess.
However, since that day, I have never seen the mother-in-law again. said that he asked for leave to go home and go to his relatives, what kind of relatives did he go, he left for more than three years, and he didn't come back?
After I walked through, I heard the word princess twice. Once it was the mother-in-law of Luo Qinghai's family, but unfortunately I hadn't heard the plot at all.
This time it's different, the cause and effect is a sad story.
Hey, it is said that the child born in the royal family is sad, and now it seems that it is related to the royal child, and it will be unlucky?
I wonder what happened to the stolen child? Or is it really as Tan Laosan said, he was killed a long time ago? The person who started it is too lacking in morality, how innocent is such a young child, can he do it?
Xiaomi sighed in her heart, this second-generation official is not safe!
Back then, Zhong Shangshu spared no expense and hired people in black and white to look for his daughter everywhere, and he turned the bottom of the capital for hundreds of miles, but he couldn't find it.
Later, after looking for a few more years, I resigned myself to stopping. Yang Ji'an sighed and said.
"If my family gives birth to a daughter, I will find a similar family and promise to match. Don't be a concubine for any prince, follow the intrigue, you can't want to have a peaceful birthday, what's good. After Tan Laosan finished speaking, he reached out and took a baked cake contributed by millet and bit it.
Originally, I was bored, so I talked about some gossip and passed the time. That's pretty much it, and I'm full. When Geng Zheng arranged for Xiaomi, Xiaomi, and Jia Xiaoliu to sleep in a tent, Xiaomi noticed that two large tents had been set up in the open space behind him.
Xiaomi responded loudly and got up to help clean up the dishes and chopsticks. The reason why she is diligent now is not to make a good impression on these people and please them.
They are frank with themselves, and Xiaomi wants to respond to them sincerely. It's actually a very happy thing to be able to do what you can, to be able to do it willingly.
It feels like being part of them. Xiaomi likes this atmosphere very much, and it is very humane.
As for sleeping in a tent with a few men at night, Xiaomi didn't feel embarrassed. Her little body has not yet developed, as long as she doesn't strip naked and sleep, as long as she doesn't make it convenient with them, who can know that she is a daughter?
Besides, the journey from here to Xuancheng is at most one or two months, and it is not necessary to walk together for three or five years, which is very safe.
Besides, even if you have to walk together for two months, your feminine characteristics can't bulge like steamed buns, so what's there to worry about.
After the dishes and chopsticks were put away, Jia Xiaoliu beckoned Xiaomi to go to the creek he found to wash. Although the weather began to heat up, the night was swishing with a light breeze.
A few people washed their faces, took off their shoes and socks and washed their feet, and then returned to the tent.
Looking at Zheng Weibo, who was sitting by the fire, he didn't plan to sleep, Jia Xiaoliu told Xiaomi, the fifth master was on duty at night, and he changed others in the second half of the night.
After entering the tent, I saw that the ground was already laid out, although I had no objection to the people of this caravan. But in comparison, Xiaomi still chose Jia Xiaoliu and followed him to lie down.
The location is also very good, with Jia Xiaoliu on one side and a tent on the other.
"Little Sixth Brother, what is this tent made of?" After lying down, Xiaomi asked with his burden on his pillow. Because she was curious, she reached out and touched the tent, but she didn't know what the material was.
Jia Xiaoliu is very useful for the title of Little Sixth Brother, and he can't lift his eyelids, so he patiently tells sรน millet, which is made of cowhide, which can prevent rain when it rains, not to mention dew.
He also told him that the mat under his body was also made of animal skins and protected from moisture. The caravan has to go out several times a year, and it will be much more convenient to prepare for these.
If you meet an inn, you will live, and if you can't meet a tent, you will not be guilty, and you will not delay the trip if you have a good rest.
"Sleep in peace, the third master, the fourth master, the fifth master, and Brother Fang, they are all very powerful." Listening to Xiaomi flipping around several times, Jia Xiaoliu thought she was scared and couldn't sleep, so she opened her mouth to comfort her.
How did he know that Xiaomi was just a little excited, so he didn't feel sleepy.
"Little Sixth Brother, Second Master, doesn't he know kung fu?" Xiaomi was so curious that she couldn't help but ask.
"The second master is what we called, Xiaomi, you have to call the second brother. It can be seen that they are very close to you, if you hear that you are also called Ye like us, they will be angry. Jia Xiaoliu hurriedly opened his eyes and reminded.
"Oh, I know, little sixth brother, you haven't answered me yet." In order not to affect the rest of others, Xiaomi said in a low voice.
"The second master is a literati, and the uncle in the capital doesn't know kung fu. The fathers of several masters used to be soldiers, and the friendship of life and death continued to their generation, but became brothers of the opposite sex.
The business house is the business of the uncle's family, and after he took over, he let these brothers symbolically hand over some shares, and they all became the masters of the business bank.
Their brothers, they are very united, each has its own strengths, and the business of the trading house has not only not been ruined, but has become more developed. So, don't blame Little Sixth Brother for meddle in my affairs, the relative you want to go to is unreliable?
If it doesn't work, just follow the master, you look at those of us who are doing things below, they are all very happy, and the master asks you to call them brothers, can you still treat you badly?
Relatives, walking around and not close, it's not me hitting you, don't expect too much. Isn't there a saying that the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment?
I tell you, it's not without people who are mad now, and if your relative has some conscience, let you work and take care of your food and clothing, it will be good.
If you meet someone with a black conscience, you will be sold to a big family to be a subordinate. Knowing that Xuancheng is close to the capital, is there any other business that is good?
That is to sell a boy like you into the palace and cut off his life to become a father-in-law. For the sake of silver, some people have done everything, and their own sons are reluctant to carry on the lineage.
Hey, Xiaomi, I'm just telling you about the sinister world in the world, don't be so scared by me that you can't sleep, then I will be scolded to death by the masters. Xiao Liuzi chattered for a long time, but didn't hear a response, thinking that Xiaomi was frightened by his words, and quickly asked with regret.
"No, thank you, little sixth brother, I'm thinking about what you just said, I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, I just vaguely remember the surname of that relative, in fact, I didn't even know his name.
Whether I can find it or not, I'm not sure. Xiaomi also felt that Geng Zheng was good for them, and began to consider leaving a way back for himself...... R1152
