Chapter 2: Ancestral Hall Punishment for Kneeling
Chen Ling looked up in amazement, Fang knew that it was her, and looked down, did her clothes look like beggars? She smiled secretly, nodded and walked away. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Yes, she subconsciously chose to leave, is it because of what the guard said just now? Is she afraid that her mother is not doing well?
She stood in the corner for a long time, thinking a lot, but she never reached the door, Master said that you should live according to your heart, didn't you?
She went around the outer wall to the corner where her mother lived in the northeast corner of the General's Mansion, turned over and jumped into the wall, and landed silently.
She squatted in the corner and took a closer look, there were indeed only two hidden piles, it was not her mistake, it seemed that the defense of the General's Mansion was nothing more than that.
She remembered that the outer courtyard was some distance from the inner courtyard, and over the wall of the inner courtyard was her mother's courtyard as a child. When she was a child, she would occasionally climb the ladder to the ridge to see the endless traffic outside the wall, and she remembered it very clearly!
But after she climbed over the wall, she was stunned, the door swayed crookedly with the wind, the debris inside the door was piled up, covered with a thick layer of snow, there was not even a footprint in the yard, there was no popularity, the house was even more dilapidated, there were not even windows, it was clearly an abandoned yard.
So, where is her mother?
I suddenly remembered that the soldier at the door had said that her mother was in the northwest corner, and she was preconceived. She didn't choose to search the house, and quietly climbed out of the wall to the northwest corner.
This time she climbed over the wall, hid behind a tree, and looked around, but there were still two hidden piles, and she dodged the hidden piles, climbed over the wall again, and came to a courtyard that was still depressed... For a moment she was dumbfounded, she subconsciously felt that she had found the wrong place, the gate of the yard was closed, the snow in the yard was uncleaned, and there were no servants? There was no candlelight in the room either... Would a mother live in such a house? Before she had time to think about it, she opened the dilapidated door, the room was dimly lit, and just when she thought that no one was relieved, she suddenly heard a suppressed cough in the corner, "Ahem, cough, cough... Is it Brother Wang, who delivered food? Just put it at the door, and you're done. ”
When she heard this, her whole body stiffened and she didn't move, was this her mother's voice? I just feel like my brain is buzzing.
The person who spoke didn't react when she saw the person who came in, she turned around and saw the silhouette standing in the backlight of the doorway, and suddenly smiled at the corner of her mouth and burst into tears.
"Ling'er?"
"Mother!" She ran over and hugged her mother, blinked, desperately trying to hold back her tears, no matter how tired and bitter she was, how many injuries she had suffered, she didn't cry, but at this moment, she suddenly knew where her weakness was.
If she hadn't walked in like that, what would she have seen?
How did her mother survive all these years? Can't even a servant father? She clenched her fists tightly, never knowing that she could hate it so much.
She's grown up, and it's time for her mother to hold her up.
"Mother, does my father ignore you?" She asked.
Her mother paused and said slowly, "Your father didn't want a mother, he just didn't come to see it often." After that, he coughed a few more times.
"What about the maids? Why isn't there even a maid old mother? She gently patted her mother's thin back and asked distressedly.
"It's my mother who doesn't want it, and my mother is annoyed when she looks at it, so she drives them away."
Liar, deceive, my mother is still that timid, even the maid and servant can bully her at will.
She pushed her mother away, "I'll go find my father." ”
Her mother grabbed her, "Ling'er, don't." ”
She broke free and walked out the door, her face full of murder. Master has always said that everything is planned and then acted, and she will be punished every time she impulses, but this person is none other than her mother who loves her the most, how can she bear it? How to endure?
At this moment, the courtyard door suddenly opened, and a person walked in with a food box.
Chen Ling was startled and stood there.
The other party saw her angry, dressed in Jianghu costume, so frightened that she threw away the food box, and shouted, "There are assassins, catch assassins." ”
And at this time, it was too late for Chen Ling to stop it.
The soldiers came quickly, and soon she was surrounded.
If Master knew that she was so impulsive, I am afraid that she would be punished again. At this time, even if she is the second lady in the house, does anyone believe it? She didn't want to expose her martial arts either, thinking of this, she didn't make any moves, and was escorted to the lobby, she lowered her head and didn't say anything.
There were more and more people in the hall, most of them came to see the excitement, but she calmed down at this moment and kept her head down.
After a while, they were all silent, and she heard heavy footsteps pass by her side, and she sat down on the top seat, knowing that it was her father.
"Who's coming? Keep your head up. ”
She didn't speak, she looked up and looked directly at his father.
Chen Shan looked at her, his face that had always been serious and gloomy increased a little shock, a little suspicious, and his voice was a little hoarse, "...... Ling'er? ”
Chen Ling smiled slightly, "Yes, father, the child is back." ”
There was a lot of whispering around for a while.
"Ling'er, which Ling'er?"
"That Chen Ling who left home at the age of 5?"
"How did she become an assassin?"
"What kind of play is this?"
……
Chen Shan never thought that his second daughter would play such a play, and after thinking about it, he knew what was going on, and he was a little annoyed for a while, and said in a low voice, "Retreat for me." ”
When Chen Ling heard this, he immediately stood up and was about to leave.
Chen Shan saw that Chen Ling was also leaving, and she had all her thoughts, "Who told you to get up?" ”
Ling Er looked back and saw her father glaring at her angrily, and she knelt down obediently again, without saying a word.
Soon, my father and her were left in the house.
"Say, how did you become an assassin? Don't we have a gate in our house for you to go? ”
"The gate is a bit far away, and the child is too tired from walking for too long, so he climbs over the wall and comes in." She said mischievously with her tongue sticking out.
After kneeling for so long, even if she has an elm head, it will not help even if she makes a big fuss, this cold place will not stay, she will find a way to take her mother out of the house in the future, and it is not appropriate to startle the snake at this time.
Chenshan didn't expect her to answer like this, her eyes widened angrily, "Nonsense! He took a breath, "Go to the ancestral hall and think about what's wrong, don't eat if you don't understand, kneel until dawn!" ”
"Yes." She kowtowed and left.
The ancestral hall is still there, and when I was a child, I felt that the ancestral hall was so big and cold, but now that I have grown up, I can only look at the ancestral hall.
The ancestral hall was so quiet that you could hear your own heartbeat.
Occasionally, the guards at the door could be heard chatting in a low voice.
She looked up at her ancestors, were these her ancestors? Then why don't the same people have a fate? Some people are born noble, some people are born slaves?!
Master has said over and over again that no one is born a slave. What they're trying to do is change all that.
But she couldn't figure it out, so did it have anything to do with which prince she helped to ascend to the throne? Is there a difference between one and the other? Whenever he asked this, Master always sighed and said nothing.
The night was long, the wind was biting, and the cold was just beginning.
