Soon winter will begin, and it will rain and the weather will get colder and colder.

Several people in the prison snuggled up to each other, curled up on the grass, rubbing their palms to keep warm, stunned and shivering from the cold.

Mrs. Ji took off her coat and wrapped herself in the old lady. Seeing this, the two aunts also hugged their sisters in their arms.

The wind poured in from the window overhead, Yingning was only wearing two silk shirts, her teeth were shivering from the cold, her lips were purple, no matter how much she rubbed it, she had to snuggle up to Yingxue and Yingyao tightly to get some warmth. When the officers and soldiers rushed in, they didn't give them any chance to take things, and they rushed to the courtyard after catching people, and she and her mother and sister were all panicked, and they could not afford to wrap more clothes. Besides, it is not necessary that the officers and soldiers still care about their hot and cold, for fear that they will carry the bricks and tiles of the Ji Mansion.

"After the beginning of winter, it will get colder and colder day by day, and if we continue like this, we will be frozen to death." Mrs. Ji watched a group of old ladies and girls starving and cold, this was not the solution.

"Yesterday, my jade bracelet was given to the mother-in-law who delivered the meal, and there is no more value on me."

Hearing Yingning say this, Yingxiu was annoyed: "I shouldn't have been in a hurry and gave away the silver bracelet too." ”

On the day of the raid, the bracelet on his hand was secretly put in the sleeve tube, and it was not searched, and yesterday two bracelets worth hundreds of taels were only exchanged for a sip of water to drink, who would have thought that it would be so unbearable in prison, and more greedy for money than outside.

Aunt An fiddled with the collar and pulled out a thin string of wooden jade beads for a long time, with a small jade plaque on it.

"It's worth a bit of money."

Yingyao was anxious when she heard her aunt say this, it was a personal object that her aunt wore on her body every day, which was left by her aunt's mother, and now she only relies on this little thing and has a thought.

Mrs. Ji was moved, Yingyao also cried, and shook her head at Aunt An.

"If the people are gone, what is the use of leaving a chain for?" Aunt An made up her mind, grabbed the wooden bead chain in her hand, and waited until the mother-in-law who delivered the meal came later in the evening, and then took this object to exchange for some bedding, even if it was a bed better than being dry and cold like this.

This thing must be precious to Aunt An, and if she is sent out, there will be no more, but if she doesn't take this to change some clothes, she will freeze to death in prison sooner or later.

If it continues to be so cold, within five days there will be a light snowfall, and they will have goosebumps all over their bodies, and their lips will turn purple.

Mrs. Ji was hugged by Mrs. Ji, surrounded by several girls, but it was a little better. My aunt was sitting outside, with her back to the window, and the cold wind outside blew in unscrupulously, and was blocked by Aunt Qian.

At this time, the old lady really felt that she had mistreated these two aunts on weekdays. As a concubine, she married into the Ji family and became the wife of the Taifu main room, but she always looked down on those Yingying concubines, and always felt that they were not in the stream. Mrs. Ji was dedicated, and only married the old lady in his life, and the two lived in harmony for a lifetime.

When Ji Yihuai wanted to take a concubine, the old lady was the first to be unhappy, but when it came to the current man, who was not a man with three wives and four concubines, the old lady was unhappy or not, but she couldn't take care of her son's house. Yang's virtuous old lady Ji is in her eyes, and Yang's generosity is also what she admires, she knows that Yang's only wants to run this family well, and she has already had a son and a daughter, she is not afraid of anything, and if she makes trouble with Ji Yihuai, she can only make more and more trouble.

Fortunately, Ji Yihuai has married two aunts, both of whom are good-natured, never go against the housewife, they all abide by their duties, and the old lady does not give a cold face, and when she is in a good mood, she can still talk and laugh with them, but no matter how good it is, there is no more.

Suddenly, there was a sound outside, the jailer's voice mixed with other voices, and then the clanging of the keys got closer. Several people leaned in together, and Ying Ning tightened the hem of her clothes, staring firmly at the corner at the end of the aisle.

The woman had said before that the jailer would not come in if he was fine, and if he did, it would be fine, either to escort him to the execution ground, or to arrest him and lynch him. Didn't you really come to loot them? The mother-in-law who delivered the food yesterday got a benefit from them, and the jailer may have learned about it, and now they only have an Aunt An's chain left, if they can't hand over the things, will they be beaten to death?

Just as Ying Ning was thinking a lot of things in her heart, a panicked face suddenly appeared not far away, it was the second sister!

Yingxiu had thought about everything in her mind before she came, but she didn't expect this tragic situation in front of her. My mother seemed to be more than ten years old, her gray hair seemed to have grown overnight, my grandmother's eyes were distracted, and my sister and aunt were hugging each other, wearing only a thin coat on a cold winter day, and shivering from the cold.

All the way in, Yingxiu has been enduring it, the smell of corruption, the dirty environment, thinking that her relatives are locked up in such a place, she feels distressed. When she saw her relatives in prison, her tears could no longer be stopped, pouring out like a tide, holding Yingning's hand and lying outside the prison gate, crying in a mess.

Seeing the second sister like this, Ying Ning couldn't help crying, and the two sisters held their hands tightly and looked at each other.

Later, even Yingxue and Yingyao also cried, and Mrs. Ji, the old lady, and the two aunts also wiped their tears on the side.

Jia Xiuheng couldn't bear it, gently patted his wife's back, and comforted him silently.

"Don't cry, everyone, see that you are freezing, let's quickly change into clothes."

As soon as everyone looked up, they saw a man standing next to the second sister, who was the second son of the Liu family, Liu Zimo.

Yingxiu only then remembered and said: "I saw that you were arrested by officers and soldiers and put in prison, I thought about it and had to go to Deputy Governor Liu, but I didn't expect to meet Liu Ergongzi who rushed to hear the news on the way, and we can only get in with his token." ”

As he spoke, he stuffed the thick cotton clothes one by one through the wooden fence, and kept wiping his tears: "My sister and mother are barely wearing them, I have never worn such coarse cloth clothes, and I don't know if I can get used to wearing them." Bear with yourselves, for the mercy of the Holy One will not kill them all. You have to live well, you can't be without thoughts. She was afraid that her mother and grandmother would not be able to think about it and not survive the day of release.

The last time Liu Zimo saw Miss Ji Jiaqi, he still looked innocent, but at this time, he was tortured like this, his fair little face was not half bloody, and his bright eyes lost their brilliance.

Yingning saw that it was the presumptuous Meng Langzi at the banquet on the day of the second sister's blind date, so he immediately wrapped himself in a thick jacket and continued to hold Yingxiu's hand and talk, but he didn't see it.

Zimo couldn't cry or laugh, could it be that he was a talented wolf, tiger and leopard, and the seven girls were in such a situation, and they didn't wait to see him? He was stunned for a while, and he didn't remember what trick he had made this villain.

Zimo said to Mrs. Ji, "Auntie, you are suffering here, my father and my eldest brother were sent to Jiangcheng by the Holy Lord, and they couldn't come back for a while, but fortunately, my father sent someone to send a token, so we can come in." He said angrily: "Those unscrupulous jailers have only taken money and have not done anything, and the rules and regulations on their hair have been deducted, and they don't care about people's lives or deaths, and when their father comes back, they will definitely ask him to take a good look at the book of the criminal department, and connive at the people below to do evil things and destroy human nature." ”

"Are there rules in prison?" Ying Ning heard Zimo say this, and only then did she know that there was such a thing, could the prisoner still get something to put on his hair?

"Naturally, there is. Winter jackets and summer clothes, two meals a day, and festive meals are all customized, and prisoners are also people, and not everyone in prison is a death row prisoner. Zimo explained.

"Is that so? Those black-hearted, let alone two meals, even one meal is thin rice with rotten steamed buns, where is there a shadow of the winter jacket? "If you don't have summer clothes, it's fine, and even winter jackets have to be deducted, isn't this forcing people to death? There are still such heartless people in the world, and they should all be arrested and put in prison, so that they can feel it themselves.

When Yingxiu heard Yingning say this, she thought that her mother and sisters had suffered like this, and the tears that were held back came down again, and she said vigorously, "Mother, you can deceive me, I have warm clothes and fragrant tea, but you are cold and hungry, if you really have something, I will not feel at ease for the rest of my life." ”

Mrs. Ji stroked the face of her second sister, she didn't know what to say, and she cried.

Seeing a few women crying again, Zimo was also panicked, so he had to hand the food in his hand to Yingxiu, ": Hurry up and let your cousin eat hot." ”

Yingxiu then remembered why she was crying, her sister and her sisters were probably hungry for a long time, so they hurriedly opened the food box, and a burst of meat fragrance came to their faces.

The wooden fence in the prison was densely distributed, and the plate could not be handed in at all, so Yingxiu had to hold the plate outside, and through the wooden fence, the person inside carefully pinched it with chopsticks and sent it to his mouth.

Yingxiu specially boiled a thick white porridge with minced meat, and handed the spoon in: "Let's everyone drink some porridge to fill their stomachs." "After being hungry for a day and a night, the girl and the young lady are all delicate and delicate, so naturally they can't stand the sudden coarse meat, so they must eat something soft and light first, so as not to spoil their stomachs.

Yingning suddenly remembered the woman next door, she said that she had no relatives, her son was also killed, and no one would come to see her, so she also asked Yingxiu to get her a bowl.

The woman took the dishes and chopsticks, and said that the girl's kindness would be rewarded.

A bowl of warm porridge went down to the stomach, and Yingning's stomach felt a little, and then I ate some stir-fried beef with ginger, simmered duck meat, duck soup and a few hot side dishes, licked my lips, and felt that something was so delicious for the first time.

Zi Mo was already obsessed with Yingning, and when he saw her such cute little actions, he felt even closer to her, and he vowed in his heart to rescue her.

Through the wooden fence, the people had a hard time eating, and when they were finished, and before they could wipe their mouths clean, the jailer came to chase them out. Zi Mo is the son of the deputy governor, and the jailer naturally didn't dare to offend, and he got the benefits they gave him before he came in, although he came to drive people away, his tone was not bad": Official, this Ji Yushi has committed a capital crime, and the daughters of the Ji family can't visit, I let you in, if you let the boss know, you will definitely drop the errand, you don't let the little one be embarrassed. ”

Yingxiu took Yingning's hand and refused to leave, Jia Xiuheng persuaded her on the side, it is not a way to stay in this prison, it is better to go out and find a way earlier.

Yingxiu turned her back to the jailer, and while he was not paying attention, she secretly stacked the gold bracelet and stuffed it into Yingning's sleeve. Zimo also touched his purse, took out all the silver in it and put it in Mrs. Ji's hand, only hating that there was not more silver on his body.

Ying Ning glanced at Zimo, this will make him keep to himself, hate and hate, but the kindness must be remembered.

When Yingxiu was about to leave, Mrs. Ji said to Xiu Heng: "I handed over the girl to you, you must treat her well, if you know that you have bullied her, even if I die and become a ghost, I will not let you go." "The bride who has married has no backer from her mother's family, it's good to meet a good family, if she meets someone who looks at power, life will be sad, the reason why Mrs. Ji said this is that she is afraid that her daughter will not have the shadow of the Ji family, and she will see the face of her mother-in-law's family. As soon as Yingxiu heard her mother say this, her nose began to pantothenic.

"Mother, don't worry, I won't let Xiu'er suffer half of the grievances, you will all come out safely, and our family will be reunited when the time comes." Although the man didn't flick when he had tears, Xiu Heng's eyes were confused by tears at this time.

Mrs. Ji nodded, but she knew in her heart that her master had committed such a big crime, even if they were exempted from the death penalty, but the living crime could not be escaped, it was okay to be a slave and a maid, and what she was most afraid of was that her sister was sent to the kiln or used as a military prostitute, so it would be better to die.

Yingxiu was supported by Xiu Heng, and walked step by step and turned back. Zimo left a sentence to Yingning, "I will save you out", and went out reluctantly.

Ying Ning lay on the wooden fence and watched the figure disappear at the end of the aisle, remembering the sworn eyes just now, she didn't feel so annoying.

Yan Chen was restless for a day, rode a horse, and came to the prison of the Criminal Department inexplicably.

"The fifth brother got the order of the saint to handle the Ji family's case?" The things in the military aircraft camp are too busy, how can he have the heart to come to the prison to hang out, except for the reason of handling the case, Ling Tian can no longer think of what the fifth prince is doing here, he rode his horse and followed all the way, strange for his rare irritability, where did the usually steady deputy go?

Even Yan Chen himself didn't think about what to do, he just wanted to see how the Ji family was inside, whether they were tortured, whether they were tortured, and then thought about it again, what does it matter to him whether the Ji family lives or dies?

In the end, Yan Chen had to admit that even if he only saw her, he was still worried about her. He has no biological mother since he was a child, walking on thin ice in the harem where the smoke of gunpowder is dark, and he has entered the military aircraft camp since he was eight years old, training soldiers to fight, killing and deciding, but he is unwilling to be pulled by a little woman.

"You go and tell the jailer, say what I mean, treat the daughters of the Ji family well, and no deductions will be allowed for eating and drinking, and don't want the offender's head."

Ling Tian was killed, and he wondered in his heart, could it be that the Holy Lord was going to release the Ji family? He thought in his heart but didn't dare to ask more, so he quickly got off the horse and went to do something for Yan Chen, on such a cold day, it was better to go back to the tent early.

The jailer had just sent Liu Ergongzi away, and he didn't take two sips, and another nobleman came, and as soon as he came, he directly showed the general's token, which scared the two jailers so much that they didn't dare to come out, and kept nodding their heads.

"My master has spoken, the wife and young lady of the Ji family have to serve well, good food and drink are provided, don't forget the thick quilt when the weather is cold, and those who violate the order will be dealt with by military law." After speaking, Ling Tian wiped his neck, and the jailer was so frightened that he said yes again and again.
