Chapter 111: Martyrdom

Qin Erniang smiled: "You think, Mrs. Liu's own cousin and niece are not stuffed, so she can only beat her son-in-law's idea." Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info don't marry her daughter to a competent son-in-law, so that she will go to it when she is old? ”

"If you want me to say, she shouldn't worry too much. Everyone has lived in Wuchang City for all these years, and General Wang's personality can be seen clearly. Although he is a little cold and doesn't talk much, he is a hot person on the inside. Anyway, Mrs. Liu is also his stepmother, and Wang Shen will not be wrong about the big pleats. ”

Jingyun glanced at Xuanhui with a smile, telling her to calm down for a while. She got up and put food for Qin Erniang, and said with a smile: "I heard that Lord Wang wants to marry the eldest lady of the Wang family to Prince An of Xuzhou!" ”

Qin Erniang tilted her head and asked with some confusion: "Where do you start with this?" I haven't heard of it. But the eldest lady's talent is enough to be a princess. Although she is not as outstanding as General Wang, she is also a beauty. However, the most important thing for the eldest lady is that things will come, she is very exquisite, and she is a master who talks to people when she is young, and talks nonsense when she sees ghosts. Although she was born to Mrs. Liu, General Wang also loves her very much, which shows that she can be a person. ”

Xuanhui frowned almost invisibly, but he didn't expect that the Wang family still had some means. It seems that in her previous life, she was proud of Liang Zhan's back house for those years, and she not only borrowed the power of her father Wang Jintang.

Jingyun saw that the dishes were almost eaten and the words were almost finished, so he got up to help Qin Erniang clean up the dishes and chopsticks. Cai Wei asked, "It's so late, I'm going to lock the gate." However, why hasn't Brother Li come back yet? But do you want to go out and find it? ”

Qin Erniang paused her hands slightly and said, "No need, just lock the door!" He was a little busy and often didn't come back. The smile on his face was not as hearty as Fang Cai's, and it hung almost stiffly.

But Cai Wei was also cleaning up the table, and she didn't see Qin Erniang's expression. She asked again, "Is Brother Li a husband?" It's rare to not go home at night. ”

Jingyun was a little depressed, this girl had traveled so far from the capital to Wuchang, how could she not have seen and had a long heart. Those who gamble money, those who linger in the Goulan Courtyard, don't all go home at night, and they can't ask anything.

Sure enough, Qin Erniang's face became more and more unpleasant, and Jingyun hurriedly diverted the conversation.

After a few days, Li Datou only went home once, hurriedly took a look at Xuanhui and others, went into the upper room, and hurriedly went out again.

Xuanhui ignored it, and took Jingyun and others to wander around the street all day long, inquiring about the news.

On this day, Xuanhui and others came back from the riverside, and it suddenly rained heavily, so they hid in front of a study to avoid the rain. There were already some people standing under the eaves in front of the door, but they were talking to a woman.

The woman was about twenty-five or sixteen years old, and although she had a dish-faced face, she could still see that she had a good appearance in the past. Her clothes were shabby and dirty, and she only had a rag to wrap around her hair. Behind her lay a man, about her age, who looked like her husband.

Cai Wei stepped forward and asked a person who was watching the excitement: "Uncle, what's going on?" Why are so many people watching? ”

The old man rubbed his beard and shook his head and replied, "I am looking at this martyr woman!" It is said that the world is declining, and people's hearts are not ancient. The first emperor lost the capital, and he still knew that he would self-immolate himself in the Qing Palace to apologize. There are so many high-ranking officials and eunuchs in the capital, but few of them were martyred! It's not as good as this woman who knows what integrity is! Alas, alas! ”

Xuanhui listened to him accuse his father, and he was displeased, so he lowered his head and said nothing. Cai Wei hurriedly left the old man behind, found a young man and asked, "This big brother, what's wrong with this woman?" Is it her father-in-law lying behind her? ”

The young man replied: "Her father-in-law and her fled from Kaifeng Mansion, and they originally wanted to join their relatives, but who knew that the relatives had moved away a few years earlier." The money on her body was also spent, but her father-in-law was sick again. She had no choice but to give up her face to beg for money and give her husband a place to eat. Who knew that this disease would not get better, the two of them couldn't even eat, where would they have the money to continue taking medicine! ”

Cai Wei sighed: "This is really bad luck. She turned around and asked Xuanhui with her eyes if she wanted to give the woman some money so that she could see a doctor for her husband.

Before Xuanhui could speak, a long figure came out of the study, and he took out a few pieces of silver from his purse and threw them to the woman. Seeing this, the woman got up and knelt down and begged, "Can you trouble the nobleman to give up some more money and ask the concubine to buy two thin-skinned coffins for the husband and us." ”

The man was about to leave with an umbrella, but when he heard this, he turned his head and asked, "I gave you money to let you go and get medicine for your father-in-law to save your life, not to buy a coffin to die." ”

Xuanhui looked up and found that it was Wang Yu. Wang Yu noticed that someone was staring at him, turned his head to see Xuanhui, and looked up and down thoughtfully.

The woman cried, "My father-in-law's illness can't be cured anymore...... When he arrived at Wuchang Mansion, he didn't have much money left, so he grabbed medicine and ate it, but it was still useless...... We are also good people, and when the mountains and rivers are exhausted, where will we pull down our faces to beg for money! ”

The old man sighed, "O martyr woman! Flee with Xianggong and live and die together! It is time to ask the imperial court to set up a memorial arch! ”

The young man glanced at him with disdain and said, "This eldest sister, you still have earrings on your ears, and they are also worth some money, why don't you go and sell the medicine?" ”

The woman stroked the ear rings on her ears and cried: "This pair of earrings is a dowry for the husband's family, how can I sell them!" Always have to be taken to the coffin. ”

Someone in the crowd sneered: "Your father-in-law's life is going to be gone, what do you say about the dowry or not!" It's all at this juncture, are you still reluctant? ”

The young man smiled and said, "Why don't you see how it works." I see that your color is not bad, if you sell yourself to others as a concubine, when someone is willing to buy it. If you don't pick someone, you can probably sell it for a good price. Use this money to see your father-in-law, you can go with someone, you can eat enough, won't both of you be able to live? And why drag them to death together? ”

The woman glared at the young man without saying a word, as if greatly insulted.

The old man jumped to his feet in anger: "Bullshit, bullshit! It stinks! Good to be a chaste woman, you are going to send her down the evil path! Instead of remarrying, or being small, it is better to die together in a dignified manner! ”

The young man smiled: "This old man, dare to love not your daughter, you are so willing to watch her die?" Originally, two people could live, so why hurt two lives for the sake of false fame? ”

Xuanhui stepped forward and said, "That's a good thing! Life in the world, one hand and one life! The word 'Jielie' was originally imposed on women by the world. Why haven't you heard of a widower who keeps a holiday for his deceased wife? Besides, when you decided to die together, did you ever ask you what you meant? You shouldn't have lost two lives for the sake of a false name! Even if one of them is yourself, it shouldn't! (To be continued.) )
