The Buddha once said that people have eight sufferings, which are called - birth, old age, sickness, death, resentment, love, parting, unwanting, and five yin flourishing. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Xue Chengjiao felt that she had already suffered seven times in her life, how rare it was, she had suffered so much, and in the end, she had not lost her heart.

At this time, Xue Chengjiao gasped for breath, crooked on the four-pillar bed of the Moon Cave Gate, her face was sallow, and she was also emaciated, her eyes stared straight at the red gauze tent, and she looked at her gaze, where there was a double-embroidered tangled branch and Dilian.

Wei Shu held a red box, and there was a bean green glazed Wufu birthday bowl on it.

Xing's mother wiped a handful of tears with her wrinkled hands, took the bowl, and moved to the bed: "Madam, take medicine." ”

Xue Chengjiao's apricot eyes widened and did not move, Wei Shubao glanced at the tears in her eyes, stepped forward to help her get up, asked her to lean on herself, shook her lightly, and called her softly: "Mrs... Wife... Took the medicine. ”

Suddenly came back to her senses, the corners of Xue Chengjiao's mouth raised a wry smile, she wanted to raise her hand but couldn't use her strength, the whole person could only lean on Wei Shu's arms, and her head turned away from the silver spoon handed over by Xing's mother: "Why eat it, I am a person with little time, my aunt always makes up for us here, if the old lady knows, she will definitely be embarrassed, I am alive, and I am a burden for nothing," she said and coughed a few times, and finally had a little strength in her hand, and weakly pushed Xing's mother, "It's me who has burdened you." ”

Xing's mother held back her tears, but the smile she pulled out was even more ugly than crying, and she blindly persuaded: "Why does my wife say that, you must be relieved and relaxed in everything, so that this disease can get better." ”

Xue Chengjiao shook her head: "I can't get better." Throwing out such a sentence, his eyes have already drifted to the embroidered and Dilian, "This year's Dilian is also very open, right?" Cousin he ...... Are you married? ”

Xing's mother's tears could no longer be held back, crying and kneeling to the foot pedal: "Mrs. ......"

Xue Chengjiao interrupted her with a smile: "I don't blame him. The Cui family is a big family, and he has the orders of his parents and the words of the matchmaker, so he can't help but not worship the church. I just hate ...... I hate Cui Zhou's heart so black, and I hate Cui Qi for not caring about his love since childhood. Xing's mother choked on her crying, and she wanted to ask a little dazedly, but Xue Chengjiao turned her face away, "Mom, go out, I have something to tell Wei Shu." ”

Wei Shu was behind her, and nodded with Xing's mother, and Xing's mother belched in response, and got up from her feet and withdrew.

Xue Chengjiao's hand grabbed Wei Shu's hand, the bones of that hand were distinct, and there was no longer the white and delicate skin of the past, and the people who watched it felt sour in their hearts, only to hear her say: "Okay Wei Shu, my aunt will definitely send someone over after I die, I have a letter, you asked her to take it back, it is for my cousin," she paused for a moment, relieved her mind and breathed a sigh of relief, "I am all dead, the old lady is not a ruthless person, she will not withhold the letter in private." ”

"If the old lady is not ruthless, why would the wife get to this point today." Wei Shu held her with his backhand, "Madam, don't say anything discouragement, you are only eighteen years old, and you still have so many days to ......"

"Good girl, I'm just hanging on to my last breath," she seemed to want to raise her hand to show Wei Shu, but when she found that she had no more strength, she laughed, "I hated the old lady for two years, I thought I would hate her for the rest of my life, but I saw it when I was dying." My cousin used to advise me not to stick to my room and to move around more among my relatives, but I didn't listen to any of them, and in the end I was framed and my reputation was ruined, and I had to fill in the house. But my life is so bitter, and now that he has left, which of those people in the Deng family obeys me? deducted my dowry and drove us to Zhuangzi, if it weren't for my aunt's help, I'm afraid I would have died a long time ago. ”

Wei Shu heard her say that she was framed, and said that Cui Zhou and the four girls were not fools after all, so he had some ideas in his heart, so he asked Cheng Jiao: "Is Mrs. Qian Da harming you?" But what is she trying to do? Although his wife was not close to her, she never offended her, so how could she ......?"

Xue Chengjiao smiled and shook her head: "Who came to lead me out that day?" Who is my cousin married now? Later, the old lady pointed to my aunt's nose and scolded, saying that I was the eldest daughter of a widow, and my virtue was lost. Have you forgotten everything? ”

She asked Wei Shu to place her and lie down, tilted her body to look at Wei Shu, and her eyes were rare and clear, "Third Uncle Qian has not moved in the position of Qipin for six years, Cousin Ang and Cousin Xian, Cousin Yan who is not as good as Cousin Yan in the second room, who will their careers depend on in the future?" Uncle-in-law, he attacked the lord of the ancestor, and ranked Jiuqing, his cousin was promoted, and he was the Xie Yuan of this subject, can the future be estimated? Don't harm me, seeing that my aunt asked someone to be a matchmaker and set me up for my cousin, what hope does Sanfang have? ”

Wei Shu covered his mouth in disbelief and shook his head again and again.

Xue Chengjiao reached out to grab her, and when she reached halfway through, her hand fell down, and finally grabbed the gauze tent at the head of the bed, and held her breath: "If there is an afterlife, if there is an afterlife!" ”

"Ma'am!"

Xue Chengjiao's hand slid down the gauze tent, and Wei Shu threw herself to her knees, shaking her arm, crying and shouting for Mrs., but her eyes could not be opened again.

Xing's mother heard the movement inside, pushed the door and stumbled in, and when she saw this situation, she cried loudly, shouting "My heart and liver".

This year, Xue Chengjiao was eighteen, and he died with hatred and helplessness.

The lotus in the Zhuangzi withered on the night she died, and it did not open for three years.

Xue Chengjiao's wandering soul floated away, seeing all the bitterness of this world, from the first day she entered the Cui family to the day she died in the Deng family's Zhuangzi, all the things in the past seven years flashed again in front of her eyes.

When she was eleven years old, her father died in battle, and the emperor posthumously crowned the Marquis of Zhenlie, and her mother learned of her father's death, and hanged herself in the study, leaving a letter before she died, entrusting her aunt to raise this only daughter on her behalf.

So after finishing her parents' funeral, she followed her aunt to Yingtianfu and lived in the small Yaju in Cui's family's room.

This stay is five years.

Her uncle's name is Cui Run, he is the eldest man of the Cui family, he is decent, he has the style of Cui Changming, the ancestor of the Cui family, and respects her father for sacrificing his life for the country, and he has always treated her very well, even Cousin Min and Cousin Qiong of her aunt's family needless to say.

When she lived in Cui's house that day, she never made it difficult for her, but she was an orphan girl who refused to make friends easily, lest she be looked down upon, it was better to guard Xiao Yaju's one-third of an acre of land and live her own small life.

But she never imagined that Sanfang's mind was so vicious, Cui Zhou's for the sake of her son's future, she was bent on marrying her niece to Cui Yu, thinking that she had become a stumbling block, and even took advantage of the fact that the two cousins went to the Luming banquet and did not return, and there was no one at home to distinguish her, so she asked Cui Qi to go out together, and secretly did something to do it, causing her to not return for two days.

She still remembers the day she returned home, her aunt hugged her and cried bitterly, while seeing if she was injured, she asked her who was so bad - now that she thinks about it, Cui Qi returned home alone that day, and her aunt must not be able to explain it, probably saying that she was taken captive, and she was clearly knocked unconscious, so it was naturally Cui Zhou's plan.

Before she could say her grievances, the old lady called her aunt to ask about it, and specially ordered her to be brought with her.

At that time, she was like a fool, pestle in Jinghetang, watching her aunt kneeling on the ground, the old lady's face turned pale with anger, and she opened her mouth to scold: "You are the wife of the house, and you can't even look at a boudoir girl?" She also tells me all day long how good she is, how good it can be for the widowed and eldest daughter to be uneducated! You still want to tell Brother Yu. I see you're blind! Don't say anything more, she is like this, spread out and ruin the reputation of our Cui family, and she herself has no good way out, the old man of the Deng family died a few years ago, and now I will be the master and marry her to fill the house. and Brother Yu'er's family affairs, you are not allowed to interfere again! ”

So three months later, she got married hastily. The Cui family raised her for five years, but she refused to give even a box of dowry, she took her biological mother's 120 dowry, and the 2,000 taels of silver secretly given by her aunt, entered the Deng family, and became a sixteen-year-old house-filling wife.

Later, I heard that the old lady had set Cui Zhou's niece to Cui Yu, she thought that she was numb, except for hating the old lady, there would be no other things left in this life.

But who would have thought that Master Deng died suddenly in the third year of marriage, and the children in the family fought for power, and who would serve an eighteen-year-old widow? So he set her up, and also deducted the dowry she brought, and drove her to Zhuangzi, followed only by her nurse Xing's mother and Wei Shu, who had served since childhood.

If it weren't for the Deng family's final struggle for power, maybe she wouldn't have figured out whose handiwork she had fallen to where she is today.

Xue Chengjiao thought, in her life, all the sufferings are not because she lost her father and mother at a young age, but it was all because of Cui Zhou's selfish desires that day. Her soul is gone.
